”It's simple. You just need to return to Luoyang and request to participate in the robbery.” When Zhang Banxian saw that Xu Rong had agreed so readily, she could not help but feel joy in her heart. ”Those who participated in the robbery were all Dong Zhuo's trusted aides. If you bring your people back, Dong Zhuo will not say anything. ”
”Alright, my Generals is also complaining. I'll make use of this opportunity to let them earn some money.” Xu Rong stood up and said to the Zhang Banxian: Then I'll let Mr. Zhang Ling down, and follow me for a period of time. I don't know which are classic and which are trash.
Early morning of the second day, Xu Rong and Zhang Banxian brought over ten thousand soldiers of Xu Ning and drove the thousand large carriage towards Luoyang. When they heard that Xu Rong was going to the Luoyang to rob the city, all the generals under his command rushed to go as well, as no one had the mood to defend the city. Xu Rong had to promise that he would split the loot evenly, only then did everyone give up.
The moment Zhang Banxian entered Xu Rong's army, she obtained a good impression from the Generals. These Generals were well aware that Xu Rong had always been an old-fashioned man, he never allowed them to rob him. However, since they were from the same hometown, they persuaded Xu Rong, and everyone felt that they would have the chance to get rich in the future.
When they passed by a village, they suddenly saw more than a thousand West Cold Army s wantonly slaughtering, robbing, women, and a few old and weak children being chased to the side. The screams of the men, the helpless cries of the young women, and the wails of the old, the weak, and the children rang out in the village.
It turned out that while the villagers were offering sacrifices to the land god, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of Xiliang soldier. They killed all the men who participated in the sacrifice on the spot and put their heads on the cart, while all the women participated in the sacrifice together.
What was even more despicable was that after the West Cold Army soldiers finished killing the young ladies, they even chopped off their heads. Their faces were covered with mud and placed in a pile of men's heads.
As Xu Rong, Zhang Banxian and the others passed by the village, those West Cold Army soldiers continued to slaughter their way through. Although they saw that there was an army coming from the west, they did not take it seriously as they saw that they were all under the banner of the West Cold Army.
Seeing all this, Zhang Banxian could not help but frown. Although he had seen the brutality of the West Cold Army soldiers many times, he still could not suppress the anger in her heart today. He turned her head and looked at Xu Rong coldly, and said angrily: ”Lord General, this is West Cold Army? Even the thieves such as the Army of Montenegro or the white wave army would not be so heartless! ”
Xu Rong's face ashened, and he was speechless for a long time. In fact, he was already used to it and knew that it was the same for the majority of Xiliang soldier. There were many soldiers of the Qiang people in West Cold Army that were even more brutal than this. Although he had strict demands on his subordinates, he had no right to control other people's troops.
He had heard a long time ago that the troops under hussar general were strict, not only did they not harass the citizens, they even helped them with their work, making them very fond of them. So when he saw the disdainful gaze of the Zhang Banxian, he couldn't help but be a little angry and embarrassed.
”Xu Ning... Immediately lead three thousand soldiers and chase away all the soldiers in this village. ” Xu Rong shouted in anger and fiercely ordered his men. However, he was still very rational. He didn't give the order to attack, and only chased them away.
Of course, Xu Ning knew that Xu Rong's army was very strict, and did not allow them to kill and rob. However, this was someone else's team after all. He looked at Xu Rong hesitantly. Unexpectedly, Xu Rong became angrier and angrier, almost shouting, ”Are you f * cking deaf? Hurry up and go! ”
”Yes sir!” Xu Ning immediately ran, leading the three thousand soldiers towards the village. Xu Rong himself was a master trainer, his soldiers were extremely elite. They lined up in battle formations, leveled their spears, and charged forward shouting.
When the Xiliang soldier s who were doing evil saw another group of Xiliang soldier s rushing towards them, for some reason, Xu Rong's soldiers' pikes suddenly struck them. Because Xu Rong ordered them to chase these evil soldiers out, they turned into sticks with their spears.
The soldiers immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly raised their weapons in retaliation. They don't care if you fight or kill them, they just do it. When the Xu Rong soldiers saw that someone on their side had been killed, they no longer cared about rushing and raised their weapons to kill him.
At this point, Xu Rong couldn't stop them even if he wanted to. His own people were at a disadvantage, how could he just let it go? However, the soldiers who did evil were few in number, how could they be a match for Xu Rong's soldiers.
”Lord General has captured a few injured people. They are Hu Zhen's team.” Xu Ning ran over and reported the battle to Xu Rong: ”97 people were killed and 53 people were captured. None of us was killed. Seventy-one were injured. ”
”Release them, let's go!” Xu Rong waved his hand impatiently, and ordered the team to continue their journey. Hearing that it was Hu Zhen's party, he started to regret. Hu Zhen was Dong Zhuo's trusted aide, he had always been at odds with the Xiliang General.
On the way, they met Hu Zhen's team that were doing evil, and they were chased for a long time. On top of that, Xu Rong was not in a good mood, and did not have much energy to continue their journey.
