There is such a person in the Three Kingdoms, he is unknown, he does not even leave the table, he does not appear many times, but every time he appears, he has a stunning performance, he can defeat the ancestors of the two great powers of Wei and Wu in the Three Kingdoms, but he is strangely defeated by the hands of Liu Kou. He is an iron-blooded soldier who only talks about the military and not politics -- Xu Rong!
Xu Rong, whose origin is very mysterious, only knows that he is in the same county as Gongsun Du of Xiangping in Liaodong Province, but he also says that he is a native of Xuanju County. Where are Xuanju County and Liaodong County? As shown in the figure:
Hansi County
Hyun-jun (玄菟郡) was one of the four former Han counties located in present-day South Hamgyong Province and North Hamgyong Province, North Hamgyong Province, North Korea. Speaking of Hansi County, there is also a bloody history.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a descendant of the former Warring States Weiguo clan, led the remnants of the Wei state to the Jizi Joseon founded by Jizi, a descendant of the Shang Dynasty royal family. As shown in the figure:

They first submitted to Miko Korea, and then used deceptive means to invade and occupy the regime of Miko Korea and established the Wei Dynasty Korea. As shown in the figure:
Wei's North Korea
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Manchu Korea was destroyed by Emperor Wu of Han, who divided Wei Man Korea into four counties, commonly known as "Han Four Counties", and Han Four Counties were officially included in the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Later, the four counties of Han were merged into two counties: Lintun was merged into Xuanju County, and Zhenfan was merged into Lelang County. Due to the remote frontier, the ethnic composition here is complex, the people's customs are fierce, the war is constant, and the imperial court is unable to govern.
Xu Rong was born in such a complex land, he did not understand politics, he only knew how to fight.
Xu Rong
Gongsun Du was in the same county as him because Gongsun Du had lived in Xuanju County in his early years and was considered a former friend of Xu Rong, so later Xu Rong recommended Gongsun Du to Dong Zhuo to be the Taishou of Liaodong. It also opened a period of history in which the Gongsun clan dominated Liaodong for more than 50 years.
Gongsun Degree
Probably because of Xu Rong's bravery and good fighting, he was a lieutenant general under Dong Zhuo as soon as he appeared. Dong Zhuo was a native of Xiliang, and Xu Rong was from Liaodong, so Xu Rong was not a concubine of Dong Zhuo, but possibly a subordinate of the former general He Jin. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, many of he Jin's subordinates turned to Dong Zhuo, and Xu Rong should be one of them.
Dong Zhuo's initial entry into the Beijing Division, his foothold was unstable, and it was precisely the need for a military general like Xu Rong to maintain the situation, so it was not surprising that he was named Zhonglang General.
In the history books, Xu Rong only fought three battles in his life, but the times were classics.
1. The Battle of Xingyang
Battle of Xingyang
When the Kwantung Army was fighting against Dong Zhuo, at Xingyang Biaoshui, Xu Rong broke the Yanzhou Army, and the Yanzhou Army was not only Cao Cao's army, but also Bao Xin's army and Wei Zi's army. In this battle, Bao Xin and Cao Cao were shot in the arrow, Cao Hong staged a single horse savior, and Bao Tao and Wei Zi were killed. This was the biggest defeat that Cao Cao Chen had suffered since he left his army, and Xu Rong taught Cao Cao a vivid lesson.
2. Battle of Liang
Sun Jian was an active member of Dong Dong, and he went all the way from Changsha County, Jingzhou, to Luoyang, the Capital of Han. As shown in the figure:
Sun Jian discussed Dong's roadmap
When he walked to liang's place, he met Xu Rongjun. Neither side made any prior preparations, and Xu Rong did not say a word and fought an encounter with Sun Jian. As a result, Xu Rong won, Sun Jian retreated to the east, Xu Rong chased after him, and defeated Sun Jian. Sun Jian had no choice but to bypass Xu Rong and directly attack Luoyang. Xu Rong taught Sun Jian a lesson to the "Tiger of Jiangdong".
3. The Battle of Chang'an
Why is it said that Xu Rong only talks about the military, not politics? Because he had no political opinion, whoever controlled the court listened to whomever he wanted. He Jin - Dong Zhuo - Wang Yun. After Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong became Wang Yun's subordinate again. Xu Rong's third battle was not decent, but tragic. Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dai and Guo Feng led the Western Liang troops to Chang'an, and Xu Rong and Hu Zhen fought, but Hu Zhen had a vendetta against Lü Bu, and when he saw that the Western Liang soldiers were sheng, they surrendered, leaving Xu Rong alone there, and finally died in battle. Judging from the fact that Lü Bu was also defeated by the Western Liang Army later, the Western Liang Army at that time was definitely crowded.
The famous killer, Xu Rong, quietly left, just like him, quietly!
