"Prince, I think someone should be sent back." A chief lieutenant said.

"That's right, the prefect, Tongguan is important and cannot be misunderstood." As soon as the captain said, several people immediately agreed.

"how?"

When Xu Rong heard this, his eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He stared at the people in front of him and asked, "Do you actually believe Liu Zhe's nonsense?"

The captain who made a voice before was stared at by Xu Rong, and his scalp was a little numb. Xu Rong was his boss and was not a good person to talk to, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and say, "The prefect, although it may not be true, there is no big mistake to be careful."

"Where are you?" Xu Rong ignored him and looked at the others again.

Although they did not dare to look at Xu Rong's eyes, their expressions told Xu Rong.

Xu Rong was angry when he was confronted by his subordinates like this. If someone had dared to confront him like this in the past, he would have asked the guards to drag them down and chop them down as soon as possible.

But now that he has changed his boss, he can't do this. The people who contradict him in front of him were the people sent by his immediate superior Cao Cao, not the old man who followed Xu Rong before.

After Xu Rong surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao trusted him very much. Although his position under Cao Cao was a little lower than when he was in Dong Zhuo before, Xu Rong didn't care at all.

Because Cao Cao did not treat him like a surrendered general, he also asked him to station in Tongguan and serve as the prefect of such an important gatekeeper, which shows Cao Cao's trust in him.

However, trust is trust, but Xu Rong's subordinates cannot be allowed to be the same as before. Therefore, Cao Cao sent many lower-level generals to Xu Rong's command. Xu Rong also knew this very well. These people usually respect him very much and have no dissatisfaction with his leaders, so Xu Rong treated these subordinates equally.

However, now they united to oppose Xu Rong, which made Xu Rong furious and felt that I was usually good to you.

However, although Xu Rong was angry, he could not kill them to establish his authority. After all, their reasons were tenable. Once Xu Rong killed them, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the boss in the future, which would be very bad for his future.

Xu Rong naturally would not be unable to get along with his future, so he suppressed his anger.

Xu Rong suppressed his anger and said, "Liu Zhe cannot conquer Tongguan. On the contrary, it is here. Once Liu Zhe stands firmly, the army on the other side will continue to come with energy. There is no difference between it and the loss of Tongguan at that time."

These people have a transcendent status, and Xu Rong doesn't make it clear to them. If they oppose Xu Rong's words, they will really cause great trouble to Xu Rong.

"Prince, it's always good for us to be careful."

Although they dared not go too far, they still answered Xu Rong with this sentence.

"Damn it, I've said that the troops led by Liu Zhe are here, and how did they avoid our sight along the way?" Xu Rong said furiously when he heard this. There was only one way to go from Tongguan to here.

"Liu Zhe has no chance to send troops to attack..."

However, when Xu Rong said this, he suddenly shut up. While saying that he had no chance to attack Liu Zhe, he was actually recalling whether he had missed something. As a result, he really made him miss something.

No, Xu Rong was frightened.

Liu Zhe was not completely out of the chance. He remembered that when Liu Zhe led his troops to attack his formation twice yesterday, he contracted the entire line to defend Liu Zhe. At that time, Xu Rong had loopholes.

After thinking about this, Xu Rong could no longer calm down and no longer firmly believed in his opinion.

"You, you, you," Xu Rong ordered three people in a row. These three people were the ones who were opposing Xu Rong and asking Xu Rong to send troops back to Tongguan. Xu Rong said: "Each of you will immediately lead a thousand troops back to Tongguan."

At this time, Xu Rong no longer cared about slapping himself in the face.

After the arrangement, Xu Rong asked again: "Where has Liu Zhe gone?"

“Go to the north.”

"North?" Xu Rong was shocked. It was the direction of the Yellow River Ferry.

"General, look!"

Suddenly, a soldier pointed at the distance in horror.

When Xu Rong saw it, his eyes also straightened. In the direction of Tongguan, a wolf smoke visible to the naked eye rose into the sky.

In the distance, the rising smoke was like a thin line. In Xu Rong's eyes, this thin line was like a black poisonous snake, staring at Xu Rong, making him feel cold all over and his hands and feet cold.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the camp in the distance, which made Xu Rong's body shake and he almost fell off his horse.

The direction of wolf smoke is the direction of Tongguan. Tongguan does not have the habit of warning of wolf smoke, and Xu Rong did not agree with his subordinates who stayed in Tongguan to release wolf smoke if there is any danger.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, the wolf smoke was released by Liu Zhe's people. This is the agreement between Liu Zhe and his subordinates. The wolf smoke is a signal, perhaps a signal of capturing Tongguan, otherwise the people in the camp would not cheer.

"hateful!"

Xu Rong felt extremely regretful, regretting that he did not see Liu Zhe's tricks, regretting that he had always underestimated Liu Zhe. He always thought that Liu Zhe was not strong enough troops and could only defend the camp.
