Chapter 477: Save Xu Rong 5
Although Cao Ren longed to behead Xu Rong on the spot, he was ultimately cowardly.
Not to mention that Zhao Yun was still watching the world nearby; although the two had never fought, just based on the strength of their clash on the saber handle, Zhao Yun's strength was definitely not inferior to his, only stronger!
Once a fight started.
It was feared that the two of them could reach the level of his union with Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
When it was time to take action, if he really took action, Mengde's expression wouldn't be very good.
After understanding many key points, Cao Ren narrowed his eyes and looked again at Xu Rong, who was kneeling and covered in blood.
Just now, the blade had deeply cut into Xu Rong's left face, and undoubtedly the left half of his face was ruined.
At this moment, Xu Rong was full of blood, sitting paralyzed on the ground, his body propping himself up; it was clear that Cao Ren's blade had just severed the nerves in Xu Rong's face.
If this continued, the possibility of dying from spasms was extremely high.
Needless to say, whether he could survive such an injury was unclear... even if he survived, he would likely be disfigured!
It seemed somewhat cruel.
Cao Ren suddenly came to his senses; it was his first time on the battlefield following Cao Cao, and he was eager to make contributions, which was why he didn't hold back.
At this moment, under Su Li's intervention, he calmed down and put away his long saber.
At this time, after suffering greatly, Xu Rong was unable to recover and fainted from exhaustion!
"Zhao Zhao Zilong, take him back for Ning'er to treat!"
Su Li's eyes narrowed slightly; Xu Rong's injuries were so severe, he didn't know if he could be saved.
Seeing that Xu Rong had been taken over by Su Li, Cao Ren did not object.
Of course, he didn't dare to raise any objections.
He just snorted coldly, picked up his long saber, turned around to find his warhorse, and prepared to rejoin the battle.
Saving Xu Rong from Cao Ren was just a small interlude.
It did not cause Su Li and Cao Cao to hold a grudge.
After Zhao Yun sent Xu Rong to Zhang Ning for treatment, he returned to the battlefield, looked at Su Li, and suddenly asked: "My lord, do you want to recruit this Xu Rong?"
Su Li did not hide it and nodded: "I did indeed see the general's talent in this Xu Rong."
"My lord loves talent, which is nothing... but that Xu Rong is a Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo; it won't be easy to recruit him."
Zhao Yun was worried.
"Returning to the point, as long as the person is in one's own hands, there will always be a way."
Su Li also understood in his heart that this problem was quite troublesome.
But as long as people are in one's own hands, there will always be a way to win Xu Rong's heart.
If there is really no way, he would take him back to Shanggu Jun and treat him well.
He didn't believe that when Dong Zhuo was completely destroyed, Xu Rong wouldn't find a way out for himself!
Although there were some worries.
But for a famous general like Xu Rong, he was still very valuable.
Su Li learned that among the generals under Dong Zhuo, in terms of military talent alone, Xu Rong was definitely considered top-tier.
Compared to the likes of Hua Xiong, Li Jue, and Guo Si, even the peerless ghost-god Lu Bu might be slightly inferior to him in leading troops.
He could absolutely be called a famous general of the early Eastern Han Dynasty!
If he could have continued to this day, it would not necessarily be impossible for him to become a generation’s God of War.
After all, in history, Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao at the Battle of Bian River and defeated Sun Jian at Liangdong, achieving tremendous accomplishments!
He rarely suffered defeat in any major battle he encountered.
It is a pity that such a character met with misfortune early due to the death of Dong Zhuo and the internal chaos of various factions.
And in his heart, Su Li felt that his side was truly too lacking in talent.
Especially a military-type general like Xu Rong, who was worthy of the name, was extraordinarily scarce!
Thus, he risked offending Cao Cao to rescue Xu Rong. ===== CHAPTER 1000 =====

"Master, something seems a bit wrong!" At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Su Li looked slightly toward the surroundings: "What is it? Xu Rong has already been captured by us; could it be that the Liang Army can still turn the tables?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "No! We have the advantage, and that advantage is constantly increasing; the West Liang Army seems to show signs of fleeing in defeat!"
"Then... where is the mistake?" Su Li looked at everything on the battlefield with a curious expression.
Although the scene was still a Shura hell, and the rhythm of the two armies slaughtering each other was not slow, it was just that...
Or perhaps it was his side unilaterally bullying the enemy.
Whether it was the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry, the trio of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, or Cao Cao’s group, none were comparable to the West Liang Army.
Even if people like Xiahou Dun had been ambushed by a scheme earlier, by the time their reinforcements arrived,
the situation had already been reversed.

The fate of the West Liang Army was either to be annihilated or to be routed.
Zhao Yun shook his head forcefully, then raised his Bright Silver Spear and pointed into the distance, saying: "Lord, it is not that the battlefield is wrong, Zilon, it is just that there seems to be something abnormal near the carriages!"
Su Li narrowed his eyes, following the direction Zhao Yun pointed.
He saw that beside the battlefield, among the dozen or so magnificent carriages that were suspected to be carrying princes and ministers, two carriages had turned around without anyone noticing.
Taking advantage of the moment when most of the West Liang Army was being suppressed, they had left their own side and run into a place full of tall grass.
If it were only that, it would not feel strange.
The battlefield is cruel after all; it is very common for some cowards to want to stay away.
But what was abnormal was that following behind these two carriages was a squad of West Liang soldiers who had broken away from the battle.
It was as if they were protecting those two carriages.
Su Li narrowed his eyes to observe the direction the carriages were leaving in and said: "There must be people of great importance in these two carriages. At this moment, the battlefield is in chaos, and no one will notice, which is why they want to take advantage of the gap to escape. As for the protection by the West Liang soldiers, let Zhao Yu lead the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry to engage them. Let us all go and take a look!"

"Understood!"
Zhao Yun rode out alone, wielding his Bright Silver Spear like a hidden dragon emerging from an abyss, fiercely carving a bloody path through the battlefield!
Step!
Step!
Step!
On a small path beside the battlefield, the two carriages followed the West Liang soldiers out of the battlefield.
.. . 0
They reached a remote, narrow sheep-gut path on one side of the battlefield.
The servants following behind the carriages were also driven to the side of the two carriages.
Those servants were all huddled together in fear, terrified to look at the fierce-looking West Liang soldiers in front of them.
These West Liang soldiers had bloodshot eyes.
"Pah!"
