When the other generals met Jia Rong and Hua Xiong, who were praised by Dong Zhuo, they were not to be outdone and expressed their willingness to lead troops to support Zhu Junjun.
After careful consideration, Dong Zhuo said slowly: "I am very pleased that the generals are willing to move forward bravely. However, our army is currently fighting against the bandit leaders.
We cannot take it lightly; I am determined to let Jia Rong lead the soldiers to the rescue, assisted by Hua Xiong, and lead three thousand cavalry to rush to Zhu Jun's aid at starry night."
The generals of the five schools of the Northern Army also expressed their willingness to send troops. After discussion, the five schools of the Northern Army sent one thousand cavalry, still led by Jia Rong.
Dong Zhuo told Hua Xiong: "Zhiyuan is resourceful. Hua Xiong must obey Zhiyuan's orders along the way and make no mistakes."
Huaxiong Nuonuo said yes.
After leaving Dong Zhuo's tent, Hua Xiong hummed and said: "Why should a young man lead the soldiers?" His words were full of disdain.
After hearing this, Guo Si was unwilling and prepared to go forward to argue with Hua Xiong, but Jia Rong grabbed him and persuaded him in a low voice: "Brother, you can't do this. If you go to rescue General Zhu, you have to rely on Hua Xiong."
Although Guo Bang was reluctant, he still followed Jia Rong's suggestion.
On the way back to the camp, Guo Bang kept telling himself to pay attention to safety and not to be as reckless as last time.
Jia Rong was also helpless towards Guo Bang's enthusiasm. He kept saying that he would take care of himself, and Guo Bang left with peace of mind.
Listening to Guo Si's words of concern for him, Jia Rong felt warm waves flowing through his heart. Jia Rong suddenly felt that it felt good to have someone who cared about him.
Before setting off, Jia Rong did not forget the two fierce men Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He went to Liu Bei's army to explain the situation in person, hoping that Liu Bei could follow him to help Zhu Jun's army. Liu Bei agreed without any consideration. Liu Bei originally stayed with Dong Zhuo's army. It was entirely because of Jia Rong that he was killed. Now that Jia Rong is leading the army to support Zhu Junjun, he should follow him.
Liu Bei said to Jia Rong: "It's just that this time I went with Zhiyuan to support General Zhu, and Bei couldn't worry about the soldiers he brought from Zhuojun."
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei was worried about his military power. If he went to rescue Zhu Jun, but his soldiers were gone again, it would be like drawing water from a bamboo basket in vain.
Jia Rong also understood Liu Bei's mood, and kept telling Liu Bei to rest assured that his soldiers would be temporarily led by his deputy generals, ensuring that Liu Bei would return all the soldiers to him when he came back. Only then did Liu Bei feel relieved, and he was still very fond of Jia Rong and Liu Bei. Don't worry.
Two hours later, all the cavalry were integrated and waiting to set off at the school grounds.
Dong Zhuo came to see Jia Rong off in person, not forgetting that Hua Xiong must obey Jia Rong's instructions in everything. Although Hua Xiong kept promising, Jia Rong, who was good at observing words and emotions, still saw an unconvinced look in his eyes. , but Jia Rong didn’t break it either.
Jia Rong gave an order, and more than four thousand cavalry marched towards Changshe.
The more than 4,000 cavalry he led this time included 1,000 cavalry from the fifth school of the Northern Army, 2,000 cavalry from Hua Xiong's tribe, and 1,000 cavalry temporarily separated from Guo Si's army by Dong Zhuo; Jia Rong also Jia Rong brought more than 300 cavalry in his team with him. Jia Rong believed that only by allowing his cavalry to continuously experience wars can they continue to grow. Even Li Li, Li Hu and Li Shun were also led by Jia Rong. After arriving, as for Zhang Dawei, Jia Rong left him behind to assist Zhang Wei in leading the army.
Each of the cavalrymen carried ten days' worth of dry food and rushed towards Changsha at starry night.
The thousand cavalry sent by the fifth school of the Northern Army were led by a young general named Yu Qiong, and they obeyed Jia Rong's orders.
Along the way, Jia Rong sent more than a hundred scouts to constantly inquire about the news ahead and grasp the latest situation in order to prevent the army from being attacked.
Jia Rong kept rushing for days, heading to Changshe as fast as possible, and never entered the county town when he passed by.
A few days later, Jia Rong and his party arrived at a mountainous area. Jia Rong was worried about the situation ahead and ordered the army to temporarily stop and rest until the scouts returned before making a conclusion.
At this time, Hua Xiong rode forward and said arrogantly: "What's wrong with General Jia? Why do you order the army to stop advancing?"
Jia Rong was thinking about why the scouts hadn't returned yet, so he didn't pay attention to Hua Xiong's tone and replied: "The scouts who went to inquire about the news have not returned yet. After the scouts bring the situation ahead, it will not be too late to march again."
. . .”
Hua Xiong was already quite dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's appointment of Jia Rong to command the soldiers. After hearing what Jia Rong said, he immediately sneered: "The Yellow Turban Xiao saw my Xiliang army coming and it was too late to escape. Why is General Jia so courageous?"
Jia Rong knew that Hua Xiong was dissatisfied with him as the commander-in-chief, so he said nonchalantly: "Be careful with the Wannian Ship. It is better to wait until the scouts return before making a final decision."
Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong refused to listen and said: "Being bold means having no courage. I don't know why the general would send you to lead the army."
Jiang Yu, who had just arrived, heard what Hua Xiong said about Jia Rong, and was furious. He scolded Hua Xiong and said, "Bold Hua Xiong, General Jia is the commander-in-chief appointed by Duke Dong. You are just the deputy commander-in-chief of the march selected by Duke Dong."
Hua Xiong said calmly: "I know General Jia's identity, but I feel ashamed of General Jia's lack of courage. I, the Xiliang sergeant, have always been brave, how can I be led by a timid person."
Jia Rong stopped Jiang Yu, who was about to continue scolding Hua Xiong, and said to Hua Xiong: "Oh, what the general said, does it mean that Dong Gong doesn't know people well?"
Hua Xiong didn't want to follow the truth and hurriedly argued: "I--I didn't say that."
Since he knew that Hua Xiong was dissatisfied with him, it was better to resolve the matter as soon as possible; Jia Rong also continued unreasonably: "But I clearly heard this meaning from General Hua's words. If we don't wait until our army returns,
, I will tell Mr. Dong what General Hua said and see what Mr. Dong decides."
Hua Xiong was originally a military general and was not good at words. Hearing what Jia Rong said, he didn't know how to defend himself. However, his constant defense was not what Jia Rong meant, and his words were no longer as arrogant as before.
Jia Rong didn't want to bully Hua Xiong too much with words, but he still had to work hard to make Hua Xiong obey his words in the future. Jia Rong frowned, and the plan came to his mind.
Looking at Hua Xiong who kept defending, Jia Rong said: "I heard that General Hua is the number one man in the Xiliang Army. Is it true?"
When Hua Xiong heard Jia Rong mention what he was most proud of, he immediately returned to his previous arrogance and said: "Whether it is true or not, you will know after trying it, but I'm afraid some people don't have the courage."
Jia Rong had naturally seen through this clumsy way of provoking generals, but he still pretended not to know and said angrily: "Hua Xiong, don't bully others too much. Who do you think is courageous?"
When Hua Xiong saw that Jia Rong had fallen into the trap, he was overjoyed and continued to provoke Jia Rong: "Who knows who I am talking about? If the scout does not return, he will stop the army and affect the army's schedule." That clearly meant telling Jia Rong.
, that’s you.
Jia Rong also followed Hua Xiong's wishes and said angrily: "Since General Hua said so, let's compete."
Hua Xiong laughed and said: "Okay, then I will compete with General Jia."
At this time, Liu Bei, Yu Qiong, and Hua Xiong's lieutenants also arrived after hearing the news.
Seeing that everyone was here, Jia Rong said: "Let me make it clear in front of everyone. Today I compete with General Hua. If I lose, General Hua will be responsible for leading the army to rescue General Zhu. Dong
I will explain it in front of the public."
In fact, Hua Xiong didn't want to be the commander-in-chief. He also knew that he was not good at it. He was just angry when he saw Jia Rong, a junior, as the commander-in-chief. When Jia Rong said this, Hua Xiong said not to be outdone: "
If Hua is defeated by General Jia, from now on he will be driven by the general alone without any complaints, as you can all testify."
Hua Xiong was very confident in his martial arts. He really didn't believe that Jia Rong's thin body could defeat him, so he spoke very confidently.
Seeing the development of the situation, Jiang Yu was also anxious for Jia Rong. He was not very sure about Hua Xiong, let alone Jia Rong, but now he couldn't help even if he wanted to, so he could only worry on the sidelines.
Jia Rong said: "It's just that you and I are under Dong Gong's account. If anyone is injured with a knife or a gun, it will be a loss for our army. Otherwise, we will dismount and fight empty-handed."
After hearing what Jia Rong said, Hua Xiong felt that it was very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed.
When Jiang Yu saw Hua Xiong agreed to Jia Rong's proposal, a smile appeared on his face. Jia Rong's ability in foot combat was beyond his reach, and he felt much more relaxed.
The few people who arrived were in high spirits when they saw that Jia Rong was going to compete with Hua Xiong in martial arts. People always like to watch the excitement.
Jia Rong dismounted and took a stance, indicating that Hua Xiong could start.
Hua Xiong didn't show any politeness and went straight up to Jia Rong. His fists roared and he struck directly at Jia Rong's vitals.
Although Jia Rong was very confident in his own skills, seeing Hua Xiong coming at him menacingly, he was very cautious and dealt with it carefully.
However, what Hua Xiong is good at is not fighting on foot with bare hands, but fighting immediately. After a few rounds, Jia Rong caught a flaw in Hua Xiong's punch, and Jia Rong threw Hua Xiong to the ground without any accident.
Seeing that Jia Rong threw Hua Xiong to the ground in just a few seconds, Jiang Yu took the lead in applauding Jia Rong loudly. The cavalrymen who heard the news from a distance and came to watch also applauded loudly.
Hua Xiong got up from the ground in embarrassment, feeling that his face was very dull. He was the number one in the Xiliang Army no matter what, and had always been the pride of all Xiliang soldiers. Unexpectedly, he was knocked down by Jia Rong in a few seconds.
On the ground, Hua Xiong roared and charged at Jia Rong again, his punches even more fierce than last time.
Hua Xiong felt very aggrieved now. When fighting Jia Rong, he felt that his strength was useless and he couldn't hit Jia Rong at all. It seemed as if Jia Rong could see through every time he punched.
A moment later, Jia Rong grabbed a flaw in Hua Xiong's body and threw him to the ground.
In the next half hour, Jia Rong completely tortured Hua Xiong. Although Hua Xiong got up from the ground again and again, he was thrown to the ground again by Jia Rong after a while.
