When Li Jue received the secret letter, he thought it was a fraud at first, but wondered why he didn't send it to the lord, and instead came to join in the fun with him who was wearing a sinful body, so he unfolded it at will, without deliberately avoiding his personal accompaniment.

As a result, at a glance, he was completely stupid.

It was Yan Sikong's personal letter!

Li Jue's heart couldn't help skipping a few beats, but fortunately he still had reason, fearing that his happy face would be seen by others, and then inform Dong Zhuo again, so he pretended to be impatient and rolled the letter into a ball, threw it aside, and drove people away After going out, I hurriedly picked it up again and read it carefully.

Among the generals Dong Zhuo brought out from the six counties in the northwest, Li Jue could be regarded as one of the most important generals, but he was not as good as Niu Fu, a waste who rose to the top by marrying a fat shrew and had a high status.

If Niu Fu really has some skills, even if he relies on his nepotism to overwhelm them, that's all. How can Li Jue be convinced if he is an idiot who only barely has the word "loyalty"?

It's a pity that he has no choice but to nod and bow down, flatter and flatter, and pretend to be false.

Regardless of the fact that Liangzhou will fight against the Hu Qiang all the year round and have made great military exploits, the imperial court's attitude towards them is always a perfunctory way of ordering them to be used whenever there is a foreign aggression, and ignoring them as soon as peace comes down.

And several frontier states are mostly regarded as uneducated wild lands by the Guanzhong and Kanto, and are despised.

He came from a humble family background and was born in Liangzhou. Apart from working hard for Dong Zhuo and being respected and feared by others, he really had no other way out.

But even so, when Dong Zhuo faced the Kwantung Army, which seemed to be full of morale but was actually full of internal contradictions, the first thing he thought of was not to frustrate its edge, but to avoid retreating, defending instead of attacking, and even trying to kill them. When the people of the direct line were pushed out to die, Li Jue understood that it was not enough to do the dirty work, and he had to be careful all the time, lest the lord and the others use it as a plank road that was burned to cut off the pursuers when they fled.

In this way, it is better to strike first, even if you lose your future, you have to save a way out.

When he volunteered to guard Hulao Pass, Li Jue thought about resisting for a while, and then surrendered to the opponent.

He was quite clever, and he saw the most important point clearly—as long as Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers were still there, Yan Qing had to treat him kindly in order to appease the hearts of soldiers who surrendered or fought.

And he didn't go alone, there were still some confidantes who followed him wholeheartedly. Once there were more chips, there was no need to worry about Yan Qing's refusal to accept them.

Unexpectedly, with a big wave of Dong Zhuo's hand, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others were all sent to his side. Although they wanted to help him guard the pass, they also pushed him into an embarrassing situation where he had to fight Yan Qing to the end.

Now I can feel at ease.

Li Jue took the crumpled letter, carefully put it in his arms, and hid it in the flesh, and began to think about a safe and suitable time to leave.

Since Hulaoguan was defeated, most of the soldiers loyal to him had been lost, Dong Zhuo's trust in him had also plummeted, and it was not his turn to participate in military affairs.

But you can't go empty-handed?

When Li Jue was planning what kind of meeting ceremony to prepare, Xu Rong, who had just reported some trivial matters from Niu Fu, returned to the tent, and suddenly found a small note hidden in the shoes beside the couch.

When I opened it up, I was stunned.

Even the cruel and tyrannical Dong Zhuo is deeply jealous. He is famous for his virtue and integrity in the eyes of the world. How could the famous Yan Sikong notice that he, a nobody, wrote such a... sincere letter?

If he didn't have some self-knowledge, and worked with those generals from Xiliang for a long time, knowing that they didn't have such a heart, Xu Rong would almost suspect that this was deliberately faked to test him.

After Xu Rong was stunned, he turned the letter over and over, and read it word by word several times. His eyes were slightly hot, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

This is the first big person in the world to sincerely express his appreciation for him: Yan Qing not only readily admits that the coalition forces deployed elsewhere are blindfolded, and the one who came to Xingyang alone is the backbone, but also praises him for winning more with less, and defeating the king with force Kuang's achievements, and lamented that the hero's talents are underappreciated, and the bright pearl is cast in secret... Finally, I hope that he will abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and come to accomplish great things together.

Yan Qing didn't care that he could instigate others, but repeatedly reminded him not to alarm others, and pay attention to his own safety.

——This is a scene he could never imagine in his dreams.

Xu Rong stared at the stamp with a dazed expression, he breathed a sigh of relief for a while, when he suddenly heard the movement outside the tent, his heart froze, he quickly put the letter into his arms, got up as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What's the noise!"

The soldiers opened the tent and whispered: "General Niu, please go to the main tent."

"Oh."

Xu Rong complied indifferently, and walked around the tent with his eyes, found out a few important things, and took them with him: "General Niu, please wait for a while, Rong will go right away."

After sending the people away, he had no intention of going to the main tent, but went straight to the stable after leaving the tent, led his beloved horse out without saying a word, and turned over on his back.

He had a serious face, as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The soldiers in the past didn't dare to ask him when they saw him, so they just watched him gallop all the way on horseback, determined to rush out of the barracks.

When he arrived at the gate of the camp, the guards were quite surprised at first, and then politely stopped him.

Xu Rong didn't get off the horse, but took his own soldier's talisman from his arms, quickly lit up, and hurriedly said: "I have the secret order, please let me go."

He has always been prudent and self-reliant, although he is not valued very much, he is still a general. The guards firmly believed that, fearing that he would delay the important task Dong Zhuo ordered him, they hurriedly stepped back to make way, and saluted: "Don't dare Delay General Xu's military, please."

"Thank you."

The corners of Xu Rong's lips raised slightly.

In front of everyone's eyes, with a beating heart in his arms, he lifted the reins gracefully and galloped out.

As the lucky one who received the olive branch, Li Jue was still thinking about whether he should do something so that he could gain more weight when he gained a foothold under Yan Qing's command, but he was unlucky one step too late and asked Xu Rong to make a decisive decision and take the lead .

Xu Rong was alone, non-stop, and rushed to the outside of the camp where most of the Yan army stood, and met pairs of vigilant and examining eyes cast from afar. He was hesitating how to show his identity, and was leading a team outside, personally Lu Bu, who was on patrol, came.

Lu Bu has sharp eyesight, and he can already guess who he is from a long distance away.

really.I'm afraid that no one in the world can resist the sweet words written by the lord himself, but this guy can't wait for a moment, maybe he packs his bags as soon as he receives it, and rushes here impatiently?

Glancing at the little burden behind Xu Rongkang, Lu Bu was just about to get emotional when he thought of the stunning poem that the lord had written for him.

His anger disappeared in an instant, and even Xu Rongshi, who looked like this could barely be regarded as a brick and led out that precious jade, became a little more friendly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, urged the angry Chitu to go up, and wrote lightly: "General Xu?"

Xu Rong also recognized at a glance the identity of the mighty soldier standing on a red horse, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted: "It's my servant. I've heard the name of General Lu for a long time! It's a pleasure to meet you here .”

Lu Bu smiled lightly, and said friendlyly, "I dare not do it. My lord has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time, so I will lead you there without further delay."

Xu Rong didn't expect that Lu Bu looked cold and distant, very arrogant, but in fact he had no pretensions. He actually wanted to lead him the way himself, and the tight string in his heart was loosened by most of it. I'll have the audacity to return to the humble position, and I'll trouble General Lu."

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and tried his best to be pleasing to the eye and said, "It's nothing to do with a little effort."

Xu Rong was usually a taciturn person who liked to bury his head in his work, and Lu Bu didn't want to have nothing to say, so the two of them rode their horses silently to the main tent, and the atmosphere around them was in harmony.

After Lu Bu got off his horse, he habitually asked the guards to report, but the clinker guards moved faster than him, and respectfully stepped aside: "General Lu."

Lu Bu was taken aback, and then remembered that the lord had confessed the day before yesterday that he and Guo Fengxiao were both given the privilege of entering the room directly without a pass, and he felt inexplicably happier.

"Come in with me."

Lu Bu raised his chin slightly, motioning for Xu Rong to follow.

Xu Rong saw all this coming and going, and suddenly had a new understanding of Lu Bu's position in front of Yan Qing, feeling very incredible.

In his cognition, all the scholars who have poems and books in their hearts look down on their ancestors, who are either ordinary people, hooligans, or low-level military officers. They are used to being superior, Even if something is asked of them, it is mostly a bossy attitude.

During the period of living in Beijing, this natural moat was particularly obvious. It was also because of the humiliation of the slightest contempt that the soldiers treated the common people more and more roughly, which contributed to the dire situation where it was difficult for the two sides to coexist.

Yan Sikong paid so much attention to Lu Bu, it really is...

It is not difficult to detect the envy in Xu Rong's eyes, Lu Bu subconsciously pushed his chest even harder, his face was still expressionless.

The curtain was lifted, and Lu Bu went in first without hesitation.

Yan Qing had already heard the report from his subordinates, saying that Lu Bu brought a general surnamed Xu, how could he not know the identity of the visitor?

He was both surprised and happy at the time, and wanted to go out to meet him in person, but Guo Jia stopped him.

Guo Jia bluntly persuaded that this enemy will vote in the future, so he should show his importance, but given the noble status of the lord, it is not appropriate to condescend too much, just wait for the interview.

Yan Qing thought about it for a while, and felt the same.

After all, Xu Rong is not well-known at the moment, except for defeating the [-] troops of the prefect Wang Kuang a few days ago, he has not had any outstanding achievements. It's extremely cold, and if you treat it too solemnly, it will touch some sensitive nerves.

So Guo Jiaxun avoided it for a while, while Yan Qing continued to sit on the Diaoyutai, quietly waiting for Xu Rong to come.

Xu Rong suppressed the surging emotions all the way, after seeing Yan Sikong, who was sitting on the main seat with a smile, it was difficult to calm down.

He took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "Liaodong Xuantu Xu——"

As soon as the conversation started, it was interrupted by Yan Qing's move to help.

Yan Qing smiled kindly, but with great strength, he half-forced Xu Rong up, pressed him on the seat, then skillfully held his hand, and said slowly: "The general's bravery is rare in the world. I only sigh that Dong Zhuo has eyes but no pearls, so he has left the general in dust."

"It is Zhuo's great misfortune to miss so much; it is also my great fortune to gain so much."

Lu Bu wrinkled his face, looked at his nose, nose, and heart, and forced himself not to look at the hand that was being held, but he didn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing.

No one called him out anyway.

Yan Qing's attitude was gentle, his tone was affectionate, his eyes were full of respect, and he rubbed the back of his hand again and again, Xu Ronggang was almost dispelled by Yan Qing's strange strength, leaving only full of emotion.

Since he came here with the same determination, he didn't intend to put on a show, but bowed generously, and said firmly: "The warriors in the Sikong tent are like clouds, and the wise men are like rain. If you don't think it's a little bit reckless, I'd like to serve you Mainly, follow the work of the saddle and the horse."

Yan Qing: Yeah.
