Chen Gong sighed and smiled bitterly, "He has already reaped his own consequences. On the day when Chang'an City was broken, he had already jumped off the building and committed suicide! He was so smart that he had lost his life!" When everyone heard this, the anger in their hearts was a little relieved, but they still felt that it was really a good idea to let him die like this.

Xu Huang frowned and said, "We should think about what to do next? We only have more than 10,000 troops. With this lonely city of Hongnong, it is absolutely impossible to resist the Xiliang army!" Everyone couldn't help but worry. Ailang felt that if he was the only one, he would fight the Xiliang army. However, with his wife, daughter and Diao Chan, he could not fight with others rashly. What should they do if he died?

Chen Gong said: "Don't worry about this for the time being. The Xiliang army did not have a unified leader. They could act in unification before, but now that Chang'an has been broken, the task is completed, everyone must be busy plundering women of property. No one has the heart to fight with us for the time being!"

Everyone felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, and they couldn't help but let go of their worries. Ailang frowned and said, "But we can't just stay here, right? When they have finished plundering the property, the woman will come to attack us sooner or later!" Everyone nodded with consent.

Chen Gong said: "What the general said is that this place cannot be kept for a long time. I want to pass Hangu Pass and go to Yuan Shao."

Everyone thought about it and felt that this was the only way to do it. Zhang Liao frowned and said, "But Xu Rong was guarding 20,000 troops at Hangu Pass. This person is unsure of his mind and does not know whether he will let us go. If this person is in a dilemma with us, things will be troublesome."

"There is no need to consider this matter for the time being. Let's first move the families of the army to Hongnong, and then find a way to pass Hangu Pass." Chen Gong said. While evacuating Ailang and his family, Chen Gong also sent people to evacuate the families of the Lu Bu army in the name of Lu Bu. So at this moment, the families of the Lu Bu army were coming to Hongnong one after another. It is estimated that most of the families will be able to travel back and forth in seven or eight days. At present, almost all of the old soldiers are following Ailang, with more than 14,500,000 people, and their families are at least 100,000. According to Chen Gong's idea, he was to withdraw all the more than 100,000 people to Luoyang to join Yuan Shao. Chen Gong knew very well that in this chaotic world, the population, especially the population that has returned to his heart, is the most important resource. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they must not be abandoned.

Xu Rong, who was guarding Hangu Pass, had already surrendered to Wang Yun, but he did not expect that the situation of the war would turn sharply. The Xiliang army suddenly captured Chang'an. Wang Yun's power collapsed like a sand castle under the huge waves. He now felt like he was falling in the air, wanting to go up and unable to go down, and he didn't know what to do. And there was another worry, that was Lu Bu, who had retreated to Hongnong. He was worried that Lu Bu would lead his army to attack Hangu Pass and surrender Yuan Shao, but he was still very afraid of Lu Bu, and he was also worried that Lu Bu would send people to lobby him to join forces with him to counterattack Chang'an. Xu Rong was unwilling to fight with Lu Bu, and even more unwilling to provoke Guo Li and others who are now in full swing.

Just when Xu Rong was hesitating and didn't know what to do, an officer rushed in and reported: "General, a man who called himself Chen Gong came to Chengguan to see the general!"

Xu Rong's heart moved. He knew Chen Gong. According to the report of the scout not long ago, he knew that Chen Gong was now a military advisor next to Lu Bu. Xu Rong couldn't help but mutter, "The lobbyist is finally here!" He felt it was inappropriate to not see him, so he said, "Take him here." The officer Yingnuo ran down. Not long after, the officer led Chen Gong to the hall to see Xu Rong.

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "General Xu!"

Xu Rong nodded, looked at Chen Gong, and asked, "Lu Bu is at the end of his journey. I wonder what to send a gentleman to do?"

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "What General Xu said is very true. Lu Bu has indeed ended his end, and it will be a matter of time before he can be destroyed!"

Xu Rong thought the other party was here to lobby for Lu Bu, but he didn't expect that he would say such words. He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you here to be a lobbyist for Lu Bu?"

Chen Gong said: "Lu Bu wanted to come down and lobby the general to fight back against Chang'an with him, but Lu Bu's situation is over. How can we hang ourselves on him?"

Xu Rong was surprised and immediately wondered if Chen Gong was cheating on him? He showed suspicion.

Chen Gong saw Xu Rong's expression and smiled and said, "General Xu must have suspected that I was cheating you. In fact, General Xu does not have to doubt at all. We can first capture Lu Bu and hand it over to General Xu for disposal, and then we join forces to join Guo Si and Li Que. I believe that with Lu Bu's greeting ceremony, Guo and Li will no longer pursue General Xu's previous surrender to Wang Yun."

Xu Rong was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What sir said is true?"

"Of course it's true. Since we are going to join General Xu, how dare we speak out in vain?"

Xu Rong asked again: "Who are you referring to when you are talking about us?"

Chen Gong said: "Zang Ba and Zhang Liao are at the end of their lives now. We just hope to turn the danger into safety. General Xu does not have to doubt it at all!"

Xu Rong thought to himself, although he doubted whether Chen Gong was cheating him, he thought that Chen Gong had promised to capture Lu Bu and felt that the other party could not be cheating him. Lu Bu was their leader, and since even Lu Bu was arrested, it was naturally impossible to be fake. As soon as he thought of this, he said to Chen Gong: "If the two generals Zang and Zhang can capture Lu Bu, then great things will be accomplished. I will definitely protect you all in front of Guo and Li!"

Chen Gong was overjoyed and clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, we agreed that General Zang Zhang and I, the two generals and generals, will capture Lu Bu. Three days later, lead all the troops to join General Xu!" Xu Rong said yes loudly and swears with Chen Gong.

Three days later, it was the time that Xu Rong and Chen Gong agreed. Xu Rong led his army to stand at the city gate early to wait for Chen Gong and the others to appear. All the officers and soldiers were fully armed and ready for battle. Although Xu Rong felt that Chen Gong's promise should be true, he had to prepare just in case.
