Chapter 212
"Damn it!" In Chang'an City, Xu Rong angrily walked towards a group of disgraced Xiliang warriors. When he got close, he yelled at his head and face: "A bunch of idiots, how many times have I warned you! You are not allowed to leave the gate!" You are not allowed to leave the customs! But you are still unwilling to obey orders honestly. If so, why did you choose me to be the commander in the first place? I lost tonight and lost troops, you are satisfied!"

Before, Li Jue, Guo Si and other people went out of the city to steal the camp without permission, and fell into the trap of Cao Jun. When they broke through, there was a lot of fighting. How could Xu Rong not know about such a big movement?When he arrived at the gate of the city, he happened to see Li Jue and a group of people running back with remnants and defeated generals in despair.

In fact, to be honest, at that time Xu Rong really wanted to order that the door was not allowed to be opened and closed, so he simply left this group of scourges outside the city!But after thinking about it, Xu Rong still held back, not because he was soft-hearted, but now that he wanted to defend Chang'an City, he really couldn't do without the help of these people!

In desperation, Xu Rong had no choice but to spread his anger on others. The person who acted as a substitute for Li Jue and others was naturally the city gate guard who opened the city gate to let Li Jue, Guo Si and others leave the city.

The army was defeated and returned with heavy losses. At this moment, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Yang Feng could not protect themselves. How could they care about pleading with the city gate guard and watching him being dragged down and beheaded by Xu Rong's order? Yes, but he dare not even fart!
And when Xu Rong led people to count the damage, it was discovered that the 2 troops brought out of the city by Li Jue, Guo Si and others actually returned less than [-] people since their return. Such a loss is really too huge.

In the face of Xu Rong's scolding, if it was normal, Guo Bang would have paid it off, but Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others would definitely refute it, but now Li Jue and the others are at their own fault and can only hang down. Put your head down and let Xu Rong yell and curse loudly. Anyway, as long as your life is still alive, everything else doesn't matter.

Seeing that these people looked like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water, Xu Rong was helpless after shouting and cursing. After all, he couldn't kill them all, could he?At that time, Chang'an City lacks a guard, and even with an army of [-], it will be difficult for him to contend against Cao Cao.

"From today onwards, except for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, all the other soldiers and horses under your command will be dispatched by me personally. Without my military order, who would dare to mess around again, be careful that I will not care about feelings when the time comes!" Xu Rong was furious , can only confiscate part of the military power of these people, which can be regarded as a warning to them, and then turns away with anger.

"Huh—" At this time, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they were really afraid that Xu Rong would attack them. After all, Xu Rong is now theirs anyway. Moreover, it is true that they violated the military order first.

If they were successful in the battle to steal the camp this time, they would have the confidence to compete with Xu Rong even if they violated military orders. However, this time they were defeated miserably, with more than [-] soldiers lost. Even if Xu Rong really killed them all Even if they were killed, there was nothing they could do.

In the end, without Dong Zhuo's suppression, they now lead the Xiliang army relying only on their own prestige in front of the Xiliang army soldiers. If they lose their prestige, it will be difficult for them to command the Xiliang army. Now, it is undoubtedly their own actions that ruined their military prestige.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji couldn't help but sighed, and said in his mouth: "Everyone, we will be defeated in tonight's battle. The loss of soldiers will be so serious, and the prestige in the army will be greatly reduced, but what should we do?"

Although everyone didn't want to be subdued, everyone knew that after this defeat, their prestige in the army was far inferior to that of Xu Rong. Be polite to Xu Rong, I'm afraid no one will have a good fruit to eat!
It's just that no one wants to be the first to do soft things. After a long silence, everyone's eyes finally focused on Li Jue and Yang Feng. After all, when it comes to dissatisfaction with Xu Rong, Li Jue is The first one, and Yang Feng was the one who suggested going out of the city to steal camp.

Seeing the eyes of the crowd coming together, Li Jue and Yang Feng couldn't help cursing in their hearts, but they were not fools, knowing that if this happened next, they would have no face in the Xiliang army in the future. After going down, the two looked up at the sky in a tacit understanding.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help cursing for a while, knowing that Li Jue and Yang Feng might be hopeless, after looking at each other, Guo Si still sighed and said: "Oh! I see Xu Rong The general didn't intend to embarrass us deliberately, in the future, for the sake of the overall situation, we should not deliberately embarrass General Xu Rong!"

The implication is that he took over the matter of being soft on Xu Rong, which made Li Jue, Yang Feng and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they also knew that this matter was not done very well, and each of them had natural expressions on their faces. They were all a little unattractive, and after a little politeness with each other, they walked away.

Although they were unwilling, they had to admit that their defeat in this battle had completely humiliated them.

Outside the city, Cao Cao raised his tent and gathered his generals. Looking at the urgently sent battle report, the joy of last night's great victory disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu and others' more than 30 coalition forces were defeated at Jieqiao, and more than 20 troops were lost." Cao Cao's words immediately caused an uproar among Cao's soldiers.

Not to mention, the elite army under Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan should not be underestimated. Lu Bu, who is known as the number one general in the world, has unfathomable combat power. The Bingzhou cavalry led by him can definitely be regarded as any force. A huge force that cannot be underestimated.

"How could this be?" Cheng Yu asked with a frown, "Even if the coalition armies of the princes are at odds with each other and their combat strength is difficult, they shouldn't be defeated in such a short period of time?"

"Lv Bu is defeated." Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lan, the leader of the Taiping bandit, showed a powerful force surpassing Lv Bu in the battle of Jieqiao. In the process of one-on-one fighting, he was defeated and killed Lu Bu was defeated, and a large number of cavalrymen of the Jizhou coalition army were defeated by the battle formation, which greatly reduced the morale of the coalition army, so that the Taiping bandits seized the opportunity and defeated them in one fell swoop!"

"Tsk tsk... I really didn't expect that Xiao Lan, the leader of the Taiping bandits, would have such combat power. After this defeat, Yuan Shao and others no longer have the strength to fight against the army of Taiping bandits. I'm afraid even Jizhou will be difficult to keep." Cheng Yu sighed, Suddenly his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's not good!"

Cao Cao asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yu said: "The Taiping bandit army has annexed Jizhou. The next step is Youzhou and Bingzhou. I'm afraid we will have to fight with them in a short time."

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned. The stalemate in the battle of Chang'an was something he didn't expect. I have to say that although the virtues are corrupt, the combat power of the Xiliang Army is really extraordinary. Rong, Zhang Ji and others are not bad, and it will take some time to successfully capture Chang'an.

But if the time drags on for too long, by the time they capture Chang'an, the Taiping army has already captured Jizhou, and they will attack them when they turn around. The front of the army!
"Damn it, how could this Taiping thief grow so fast?" Thinking of this, even Cao Cao couldn't help but cursed.

"Hehe! My lord, don't be in a hurry!" Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Cheng Yu hurriedly laughed and said, "Then Jizhou is an important place for the Yuan family's strategy. The location is good enough to withstand the Taiping army for a period of time, and with the help of Gongsun Zan, there will be more fights in this battle, so we have enough time to capture Chang'an."

"The generation of Li Jue and Guo Si are just people who put up bids and sell their heads, but Xu Rong should not be underestimated. There are still strong generals in the Xiliang army. It will not be easy to take Chang'an." Cao Cao sighed, as if remembering What, suddenly asked: "By the way, there is still no news from the city? It stands to reason that the princes and ministers in the city have long been extremely dissatisfied with the Xiliang Army, why don't they send people to contact us? "

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "I'm afraid the Xiliang army is guarding too tightly. Wait a minute, maybe there will be good news soon!"

At this moment, a military officer suddenly came to report: "Lord Zhou Mu, today we caught a spy and found a secret letter from him!"
