Chapter 474: Conflict!
Among the various generals under Dong Zhuo, if one speaks of martial prowess, Lu Bu is well-deserved.
But in terms of military tactics, Xu Rong—an old general beside Dong Zhuo—is the true number one figure.
"My subordinates didn't see who was in the carriages, but everyone heard them being called 'Excellency,' so they must be some high-ranking court officials!"
Zhao Yun said at this time.
Su Li's spirits lifted again after hearing this.
Being able to possess such large carriages must mean they belonged to the nobility.
Although he hadn't found Dong Zhuo or the Son of Heaven, it was fortunate to encounter the group of court officials Dong Zhuo had specifically sent to be escorted.
Dong Zhuo, being with the Son of Heaven, couldn't take care of these court officials himself, but he valued them more than ordinary commoners. Therefore, during the migration, Dong Zhuo divided the court officials and ministers into several groups, each with several generals to guard them.
This group, led by Xu Rong, was one of them.
Xu Rong, considering the safety of the team, had sent troops to set up defenses nearby while resting, and it just so happened that they encountered the vanguard of the forces pursuing Dong Zhuo.
Su Li slightly forgot to look at the carriages on the field... the court officials and their families who were scared out of their wits, and hearing their desperate cries... he calculated secretly in his heart.
Whether to continue entangling with Xu Rong...
His goal at this moment was to rescue the Son of Heaven and change the main storyline, not these court officials.
To be honest, the Han court had not yet completely disintegrated, and for the warlords, the status of those court officials was truly like a chicken rib.
Whether to save them or bring them back, one would have to offer sacrifices to the great gods, otherwise, one would be condemned by the world.
Should he save them, or not?

Just at this moment, Su Li also saw that not far from his army, in the forces led by Cao Cao, they were fiercely fighting against a well-equipped cavalry unit, clearly the Xiliang Iron Cavalry! ===== CHAPTER 991 =====
Cao Cao, who had no eyes on the battlefield, actually took the initiative to lead his troops to charge, seemingly wanting to save the court officials from danger.
On this basis.
There was also a general under Cao Cao who performed extremely well.
Standing alone, moving freely, disrupting the enemy's formation!
The long saber in his hand was versatile, and with every move, no fewer than ten people died under his blade; he was exceptionally brave.
Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but praise: "My lord, Cao Cao has many fierce generals; this one is brave, and he is together with Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan!"
"Indeed, there are many... If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Cao Ren!"
"This person is not only brave and skilled in battle, but also well-versed in military tactics."
Su Li nodded.
Cao Cao's foundation was indeed very strong; once they appeared, none of the generals under him were mediocre, each having their own strengths.
The fledgling Cao Ren was exceptionally fierce, his long saber like a reaper's scythe; almost every time he swung, he could kill more than ten Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
With such a brave general and strong soldiers, led by Cao Ren, the Cao family army behind him also roared and fought, charging forward and dealing a heavy blow to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were also very fierce and not few in number, they were mostly held back by Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
Now, they were completely helpless against the sudden appearance of Cao Ren.
This was the benefit of being broad; you can hold me back for one, I still have two; you can hold me back for three, I can still provide you with four.
Now, the great generals under Cao Cao, besides Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, also included Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian, and other famous generals of the generation, each a true god-like general.
Led by Cao Cao, they charged madly at the Xiliang army.
Wherever they went, the Xiliang army could only retreat.

Led by Cao Cao, they charged madly at the Xiliang army.
Wherever they went, the Xiliang army could only retreat.
But it was also at this moment that a very powerful military formation did not dodge Cao Ren's sharp edge, but instead chose to block Cao Ren's opponent head-on!
In that formation, a general in chain armor rode out, looking at Cao Ren and the others charging out, his face filled with deep anger!
"You people of the Guandong, how dare you be so rampant!"
"207"
After speaking, this general rode his horse straight toward Cao Ren's charge.
The soldiers under his command were also fearless of death, successively meeting several great generals under Cao Cao.
Cao Ren saw a general charging over, so he swung his long saber horizontally and shouted: "I am Cao Ren, a general under Lord Cao! Who are you? State your name! My blade does not kill nameless rats!"
The general on the ground also sneered and cursed back: "Your tone is quite big... Listen well, I am Xu Rong, a Zhonglang general under the Chancellor! With me here, don't you dare be rampant!"
Upon hearing the name Xu Rong, Cao Ren's eyes exploded with excitement!
"You are Xu Rong? I heard you are a guest of the traitor Dong; today you are dead!"
If he could behead Xu Rong, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement for Cao Ren.
Xu Rong laughed and said coldly: "Many have wanted to kill me, but they all became ghosts under my blade!"
Xu Rong was not inferior to anyone in speaking harsh words.
"How bold!"
Cao Ren was furious and drew his saber, riding his horse straight toward Xu Rong.
Xu Rong saw that although Cao Ren was brave and skilled in battle, he was not afraid; after all, how many fierce battles had he fought in his years of campaigning?
Would he be afraid of an enemy even in a one-on-one fight?
"Clang!"
Two long sabers of the same style clashed in the air at the same spot.
Both were generals of the generation who fought with wide-open movements.
An incomparable force collided, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye, centered on the intersection of their weapons, permeated the surroundings.
The shockwave generated by that intense impact forced the surrounding soldiers to retreat dozens of meters, leaving only the central area for the two to fight fiercely.
At this time, Zhao Yun was watching the field and saw the general who was fighting Cao Ren, suddenly saying: "I didn't expect Cao Ren to meet his match? His subordinates all know! Just now they fought with my subordinates, deploying troops and formations with great momentum... but I don't know how his personal skills are?"
Hmm!
Su Li didn't know either.
He knew deeply that Xu Rong was quite capable of leading troops in battle.
He could simply be called invincible...
In history, even Sun Jian and Cao Cao were defeated by him repeatedly.
Naturally!
This was all irrelevant.
He had to look at Xu Rong, who was fighting fiercely with Cao Ren.
A brilliant idea suddenly popped into Su Li's mind.
He had no interest in the court officials around him.
Instead, he was interested in Xu Rong.
Because he had a general like Xu Rong who could lead troops in battle.
After all, under his command, only Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and Zhao Yu were not proficient in military tactics.
And Zhao Yun had not yet grown up; besides having martial prowess, he was slightly immature in military tactics.
Therefore, he currently urgently needed a general who could stand alone.
This Xu Rong looked okay.
If he could be recruited.
With further training, he would definitely be a great general; at the very least, in terms of leading troops in battle, few could match him!
This Xu Rong looked okay...
If he could be recruited.
With further training, he would undoubtedly be a great general.
It was just...
One could see at a glance that Xu Rong was the type who was loyal and unswerving. ===== CHAPTER 993 =====
