Bao Xin spent a lot of time with the Xuzhou Army of the pottery merchants, so he naturally recognized Mi Fang.
Seeing Mi Fang saluting him, Bao Xin returned the salute to him on horseback and said seriously: "Zifang, you and I are allies. There is no need to show any false courtesy in front of Bao... I just ask you, are you okay?"
On the way, did you ever see a white wave of bandits passing by here?"
"Uh..." Mi Fang looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she answered against her will: "I never saw..."
Bao Xin rolled his eyes after hearing this.
Mi Fang's level of lying is really too bad, so how can a large group of cavalry not see it? Are the scouts of your Xuzhou Army blind? Besides, since you didn't see the Baibo Army bandits... then you are blocking my way here.
Tao for what?
What kind of person is Bao Xin? After listening to Mi Fang's words, he knew there was something fishy in it.
"General Zifang, I don't care if you see it or not, but I want to use this road to kill the bandits... I also ask General Zifang to give way to Bao for convenience."
"Um..." Mi Fang hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "General Bao, let's not pursue him anymore? Can we lead the troops back?"
Bao Xin raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"Well..."
Mi Fang was secretly worried. Why are you asking? That's because you are not chasing the Baibo bandits at all, but the eldest son of my Xuzhou Army!
But I decided not to tell the truth to Bao Xin about this matter. After all, it is not a shameful thing for an officer or an army to pretend to be a thief, and although Bao Xin is an ally, he is very upright... If the pottery merchant pretended to be a thief to rob a prominent family, he would have to tell the truth.
Having said that, it would be strange if Bao Xin's lung tube didn't explode with anger.
"General Bao's troops have been chasing the Baibo Army all night. This bandit is not that big of a deal. Just...just...just let it go...there aren't many of them. What kind of situation can they become, right?" Mi Fang tentatively asked.
Discuss it with Bao Xin.
Bao Xin frowned when he heard this, and his tone showed some dissatisfaction: "Zifang, what are you talking about! How can you let thieves and bandits go! Do you know that you let them go today, but you will have to let them go tomorrow?
How many people will suffer from his cruel persecution! Your words are simply ridiculous!"
After a pause, Bao Xin continued: "Zifang, please get out of the way quickly! Bao is suppressing thieves for the country and the people. I don't care what your reasons are for daring to hinder the plan of suppressing thieves...
I will kill you, and the potter will explain it to you later!"
Straight bitch!
When Mi Fang heard Bao Xin threaten him, she took a breath of cold air and leaned back involuntarily. She could have fallen directly under the horse.
This guy's old habit of being very scared has happened again.
At this moment, a big hand stretched out from behind, supported Mi Fang's back, and forcefully pushed Mi Fang's back straight again.
Mi Fang calmed down and turned to look behind her.
"General Bao, you are such a powerful official." Then I saw a man with a half-bronze mask on his face walking out on horseback. Although his voice was cold when he spoke, he looked very weak and was swaying slightly on the horse.
, seems to be barely holding on.
Bao Xin didn't recognize him for a moment... After thinking about it, there seemed to be no such weird man wearing a mask in Xuzhou's army? Where did this guy come from?
"Who are you?"
Xu Rong took his hand away from Mi Fang's back, cupped his hand towards Bao Xin, and said, "I'm Xu Rong."
When Bao Xin heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Ouch! No wonder it looks familiar. It turns out he is a vassal of the traitor like you! I heard from Ben Chu that you were blinded in one eye by Sun Lang during the Battle of Bianshui, and then you surrendered to Xuzhou.
In the army...hehe, you are just a subordinate general, how dare you come and chat in front of me?"
Xu Rong was not angry after hearing this. He had not ridden a horse since he was seriously injured, and now he felt a little dizzy after riding for a long time.
Strongly supporting his body, Xu Rong respectfully said to Bao Xin: "There are a few things that are wrong in what General Bao just said. I forgive Xu for having to correct them today... First, Xu Rong is not a traitor.
The post of General Wei Maozhonglang of the capital was obtained from the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Duke Bao said that I was a rebel vassal, but the person Xu vassaled was always the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. General Bao was referring to what he said.
Is the traitor the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
"you……!"
Xu Rong said unhurriedly: "Secondly, I am not a surrendered general. From the current point of view, Xu is just a guest minister in Xuzhou Tao Gongzi's army, or it can be said that he is a friend who temporarily lives in Xuzhou.
Mr. Tao’s subordinates are not the generals of the Xuzhou Army."
Bao Xin hummed, without comment.
"Third, I am not here to talk to General Bao today, but I am here to explain a truth to General Bao. General Bao is not the only one who deeply hates bandits in the world. His proposal to attack the Baibo Yellow Turban Bandits is
Mr. Tao took the initiative to ask Yuan Shao to get it. The Xuzhou Army will definitely not let go of any Baibo bandits. The reason why they stopped General Bao here today is because Mr. Tao has personally laid an ambush in front, hoping to wipe out all the bandits in the past.
, General Bao, are you the only one allowed to suppress the bandits in this world, and no one else can suppress them?"
Bao Xin's expression softened appropriately and he said: "Master Tao has set up an ambush in front to kill the bandits?... Are you serious about this?"
Xu Rong nodded and said: "If that were not the case, why would we have stopped General Bao? Could it be that the Xuzhou Army would have any business with the Baibo Army?"
Bao Xin took a long breath and suddenly showed a dissatisfied look, saying: "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is such a big misunderstanding!"
Xu Rong grinned in embarrassment, but then the wound on his face was moved again, causing him to take a breath of cold air in pain.
However, the wounds on his right eye and right face were extremely deep, and they were covered by a mask. He could not easily rub them with his hands, so he could only hold them tight and wait for the pain to pass.
After a while, after the pain subsided, Xu Rong just gasped and said: "We are both soldiers and horses in the conquest of the Baibo Army. General Bao led the troops out last night and made countless contributions. Mr. Tao is a scholar. He hesitated for a moment and led the troops."
The soldiers went out late, but no trace of the Baibo Army was caught... There is no way to set up an ambush here today. To annihilate an army of rogue bandits is just to save face... General Bao will not even want this small amount of credit.
Are you going to rob it with Mr. Tao?"
Bao Xin suddenly realized what he said.
After working on it for a long time, I realized that the Tao boy’s goal was to steal someone’s head!
Bao Xin couldn't help but frowned and said dissatisfied: "That Mr. Tao of yours is so stingy, why do you need all this hypocrisy for such a trivial matter?... If you want credit, you have to take credit. Bao will still be a junior like him.
I can’t care less... I have to talk to him when I see him in the future! How can a young man achieve great things in the future if he is so immature in doing things?"
Xu Rong replied calmly after hearing this: "General Bao still has the face to talk to Mr. Tao? General Mi just stationed troops here. Wen Yan asked you to go back to the stronghold to collect troops. Just don't listen to his explanation. He also threatened to
Kill him? After all, he is also a general of the Allied Forces, so you will kill him if you say... General Bao doesn't seem to be very grand in his work."
Mi Fang was stunned for a moment while listening.
This Xu Rong is a good fighter, but he didn't expect that he was also good at talking and negotiating with others... There were a few mistakes! No wonder the master wants to protect this person!
Bao Xin's face turned red and white when Xu Rong said it was not good-looking.
After a while, Bao Xin cupped his hands towards Mi Fang and apologized: "Zifang, I have offended Bao a lot just now. I hope General Zifang will not take offense."
Mi Fang was caught off guard by Bao Xin's move and quickly returned the favor.
Bao Xin turned his head and looked at Xu Rong deeply for a while, nodded in appreciation: "What a Xu Rong, no wonder Mr. Tao would rather offend Sun Lang, offer a big favor to Yuan Shao, and risk his life to save you."
Come down! He is indeed a capable man! He is good at fighting, he also knows how to advance and retreat, and he knows how to deal with things! Good, very good!"
After saying that, he laughed loudly, led the cavalry under his command, turned around, and hurried back in the direction from which he came.
Mi Fang let out a long sigh, turned to look at Xu Rong, and couldn't help but admire him at this moment.
He stretched out his thumb at Xu Rong and said cheerfully: "Okay! I really have you. I can't see that you are indeed a talent. Then the first and second lies are not red in the face, but Bao Xin said
