Chapter 13

But when it comes to commanding troops, looking at the world today, there are really not many people who can beat him!

Historically, Xu Rong once defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao.

And once, with a weak force, one year after the coalition of lords disbanded, he marched out of Wuguan to harass Nanyang County, where Yuan Shu was stationed!

The only pity is that because Xu Rong was not a Xiliang direct line, his power had always been very limited.

After Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, Xu Rong chose to work for Wang Yun so that the remnants of the Luoyang Imperial Guard who followed him could have food to eat.

Eventually, in the Battle of Xinfeng, Xu Rong led 10,000 troops against Li Jue and Guo Si's 100,000-strong army and died on the battlefield.

Possessing the posture of a famous general, he fell just like that.

It is very regrettable.

PS: In the Romance, Xu Rong was weakened to a third-rate general and was killed by Xiahou Dun with a spear shortly after his appearance; the Xu Rong here is written according to the semi-official historical image.

"Two generals, from now on we are colleagues, and I hope we can work together to assist the Prime Minister in clearing the world."

Gu Yi smiled slightly.

Hearing this, the poker-faced Xu Rong squeezed out a smile.

Lu Bu shrugged slightly, noncommittally.

Seeing this, Gu Yi had no intention of arguing with Lu Bu for the time being.

If he wants to handle Lu Bu, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Of course, if Lu Bu wants to be an enemy of Gu Yi...

Gu Yi is confident that he has a hundred ways to trap Lu Bu to death!

Compared to a fierce general who can fight a hundred, a ruthless strategist is undoubtedly a true dimensional reduction strike!

Moreover, compared to Lu Bu himself,

what interests Gu Yi more are the two great generals under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!

Zhang Liao needs no introduction, the nemesis of Sun Ten Thousand.

Later generations have a poem that says:

"The tiger's roar at Xiaoyao shakes a thousand miles, the green-eyed one of Jiangdong still dreams in terror!"

It is said that ever since Zhang Liao made Sun Ten Thousand cry and howl at Xiaoyaojin,

when the adults of Jiangdong scare children, they no longer use the Yaksha for intimidation, but instead use Zhang Liao!

Just like that, Zhang Liao gloriously became the nightmare of several generations of Jiangdong newborns!

And now,

Zhang Liao is just a subordinate general under Lu Bu.

Unknown and unheard of.

As for Gao Shun,

although he died early, it does not mean he had no ability.

The seven hundred Trap Camp, under the leadership of Gao Shun, once resisted tens of thousands of Cao's troops.

In the third year of Jian'an, when Lu Bu attacked Xiaopei, Gao Shun defeated the coalition of Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei and captured Xiaopei with lightning speed.

Later, Lu Bu was defeated and died at Baimenlou; Gao Shun refused to surrender and was eventually executed.

In short,

these two great generals, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, are like treasures in Lu Bu's hands.

But this fellow Lu Bu did not fully utilize their abilities.

After the 150,000-strong army, including the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry brought by Hua Xiong and Gu Yi, gathered, Dong Zhuo ordered all soldiers to rest for a while.

After finishing lunch, he would gather the generals to hold a military meeting.

After everyone dispersed,

Zhang Ji chased from behind and started chatting with Hua Xiong.

Subsequently, he gave Gu Yi a kind smile and introduced himself slightly.

Hearing the name of the visitor, Gu Yi curiously looked at Zhang Ji several times.

In terms of fame, Zhang Ji should have the lowest presence among the "Xiliang Army F4."

But Zhang Ji has a good nephew named Zhang Xiu.

Besides this, there is also a good wife named Zou Shi.

This person is the culprit who later caused Cao Cao to "harm three sages with one shot" in Wancheng.

Many people say that Zou Shi was just Zhang Ji's concubine.

This statement is untenable.

You know, the status of a concubine in this era was not high, and it could even be said to be pitifully low.

If Zou Shi was just a concubine, for Cao Cao, she could be treated as a commodity to be taken at will.

Zhang Xiu could not have treated her as an aunt.

It is even more impossible that he would be furious and decide to raise an army against Cao after learning that Cao Cao had taken Zou Shi.

Therefore, Zou Shi must have been Zhang Ji's wife, not a concubine.

Of course, it could also be a second wife.

(PS: A second wife and a first wife are treated the same; a classic example is Yuan Shao's second wife, Lady Liu, who gave birth to Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang.)

With a gossipy mentality, after Zhang Ji left, Gu Yi specifically asked Hua Xiong about it.

Subsequently, he was surprised to learn that Zhang Ji's wife had passed away a few years ago and he had not remarried since.

In other words, Zou Shi was not Zhang Ji's wife at this time, and it is highly probable that she was still a virgin.

This couldn't help but ignite the gossipy soul in Gu Yi's heart.

He was very curious about what kind of woman could make Cao Cao so infatuated that he would "harm three sages with one shot."

Soon, after finishing lunch, everyone gathered again in the Hulao Pass council hall.

Clearly divided, the seats for the meeting were divided into two rows.

The left side was entirely the Xiliang Army direct line, led by Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji.

The right side was a mixture of the Bingzhou faction and the Luoyang Imperial Guard faction.

Led by Lu Bu and Xu Rong respectively.

Seeing Gu Yi arrive, Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji waved at him enthusiastically.

Lu Bu was staring at Gu Yi.

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes, as if meditating but actually dozing off.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yi felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Damn it!

Holding a meeting can have so many schemes!

Sure enough, wherever there are people, there is a world of conflict.

This also shows from the side that the internal conflicts within Dong Zhuo's army have intensified to a very serious level.

However, the expectations of the people in the council hall were destined to fail.

Before Gu Yi could make a choice about which side to sit on, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the very top, said directly:

"Gu Yi, come and sit beside me."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes showed envy.

Usually, the people who can sit beside Dong Zhuo for a meeting,

except for Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min,

only Li Ru, the chief strategist and son-in-law, has such qualifications.

But at this moment, Gu Yi, a newcomer, was so valued by Dong Zhuo.

Everyone was naturally extremely envious.
