In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are many historical celebrities, and these historical celebrities are not fictionalized by Luo Guanzhong.
However, there are also many famous generals of the time who have been ignored by Luo Guanzhong.
For example, Xu Rong, who led a large army and defeated the two major warlords Cao Cao and Sun Jian successively, was one of the fierce generals of the world who was ignored by Luo Guanzhong.
Xu Rong was a soy sauce player in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he made a lot of merit in the conquest of the Kwantung Coalition Army for Dong Zhuo.
In 189, Dong Zhuo received a secret order to enter the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and since then, the imperial court has been controlled by Dong Zhuo.
After coming to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo, in order to establish his prestige, deposed Liu Xie, the Shao Emperor of Han, and made Liu Xie the Prince of Li chen an emperor, in order to sacrifice emperor for Han.
Later, Dong Zhuo controlled the government for a long time, and the princes from all over the country could not see it, so they hurriedly formed a Kwantung Alliance, with Yuan Shao as the ally, and jointly attacked Dong Zhuo.
After the Kwantung Coalition army divided into three routes and attacked Luoyang, Lian Keshui, and Tiger Prison, the Kwantung Coalition Army stagnated.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo burned the Luoyang Palace and held Emperor Xian of Han hostage to move west to Chang'an, and Cao Cao felt that this was a good time to annihilate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms--- The Biography of Cao Cao" Taizu Yue: "Raise righteous soldiers to curse the riots, the masses have been united, why should the princes doubt?" Dong Zhuowen raised an army in Shandong, relying on the weight of the royal family, and according to the danger of the second week, the eastward direction came to the world; although there was no way to do it, it was still enough to be troubled. Now burn the palace, rob the Son of Heaven, the sea trembles, and does not know where to go, and this day is also the time of death. The world is set in a war, and it must not be lost. ”
Cao Cao believed that Dong Zhuo had fled to Chang'an, and this was a great opportunity for the Kwantung Coalition Army, and if he led the army to pursue, he would definitely be able to fight a decisive battle.
However, none of the princes responded to Cao Cao, only one of Zhang Miao's generals, Wei Zi, led his subordinates to help Cao Cao, and when he put it together, Cao Cao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue and kill Dong Zhuo.
However, Dong Zhuo is not a vegetarian, Xu Rong, is a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, under dong Zhuo's orders, Xu Rong is responsible for sniping the rear pursuit.
Therefore, Xu Rong buried an ambush halfway through and defeated Cao Cao in one fell swoop.
According to the biography of Cao Hong in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, This battle Wei Zi was killed, and Cao Cao was also shot by a bow and arrow, if it were not for Cao Hong's surrender of the war horse to Cao Cao, presumably Cao Cao would have almost died this time.
In 191 AD, Sun Jian led a large army to conquer Dong Zhuo, and was surrounded by Xu Rong and Li Dai's army, and Later Sun Jian was defeated and fled madly with dozens of cavalry.
The army has been pursuing Sun Jian, and Sun Jian has a hard time escaping, so he asks Zu Mao to wear the red turban he often wears to lure the army away, and Sun Jian escapes.
Sun Jian escaped smoothly, and Zu Mao also escaped the disaster after burning the turban.
"Later Han Shu Dong Zhuo Lie Biography": Rong Yu Jian, and Zhan Broken Jian, raw bird Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, cooking zhi.
In this battle, Xu Rongsheng captured Yingchuan Taishou Li Min and cooked him to death!
Li Min (李旻), the Taishou of Yingchuan Commandery (颍川郡太守) during the reign of Emperor Xian, was a member of the League of Emperor Dong.
The righteous soldiers and soldiers who had received were all wrapped in cloth, stood upside down on the ground, and killed them with hot anointing.
After Dong Zhuo moved to Chang'an, Wang Yun took the opportunity to provoke Lü Bu and later killed Dong Zhuo, after which Wang Yun completely became the number one person in the imperial court.
Wang Yun, as a person, was more loyal to the Han court, but after Dong Zhuo's death, he was also a little fluttery, and he would never push his heart with the rest of the ministers again, which was a bit arrogant.
At that time, Cai Wenji's father, Cai Yong, because he had been heavily treated by Dong Zhuo, felt Dong Zhuo during the banquet, which caused Wang Yun to be angry.
Wang Yun believes that Dong Zhuo is a national thief, how can you feel sorry for him?
Therefore, Cai Yong was sent to prison, and Cai Yong died in prison.
At that time, many people persuaded Wang Yun, including the taiwei Ma Ribao, but Wang Yun did not listen and insisted on severely punishing Cai Yong.
After Cai Yong's death, Tai wei Ma Ribao once said that this Wang Yun would not last long.
Later, some people in the Liangzhou army rumored that wang Yun was going to kill all the Liangzhou people, so Li Dai, Guo Feng, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others raised an army to the west and attacked Chang'an.
Wang Yun sent Hu Yun and Xu Rong to meet the enemy and start a major battle in Xinfeng, located northeast of present-day Lintong, Shaanxi, and both Lintong District and Chang'an now belong to Xi'an.
Hu Yi, originally a soldier from Liangzhou, was the same as Li Daoguo and others in Dong Zhuoyu's party, so Hu Yi directly led the people to surrender.
Although Xu Rong was also Dong Zhuoyu's party, he was not a general in the Liangzhou Army, and in the Liangzhou Army, he was often ostracized, and his situation was equivalent to that of Lü Bu at that time.
Due to Hu Yi's rebellion, Xu Rong eventually died in Xinfeng!
