There is no record of Xu Rong in history. Although the ancients had the habit of adding words, not everyone did. Only those who have knowledge and status can own people. Chinese characters, also known as ideographs, are unique to China and can be regarded as a traditional culture. Because people's names are acquired by their parents and cannot be changed, they choose words to suit their own personality and characteristics. The content behind the word is a supplement and extension of the name, which is directly or indirectly related to the name. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. In the eyes of the ancients, it was impolite to call a person by his first name. Only by addressing each other can we show respect for others. Such as Meng De of Cao Cao, Wen He of Jia Xu, Zi Long of Zhao Yun, Xuande of Liu Bei, Yun Chang of Guan Yu, etc.
Xu Rong in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a star who is often overlooked because of his early death and few records. When he was under Dong Zhuo, he was very active and often used Xu Rong. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo is very positive about Xu Rong's talent. At the time of the tripartite confrontation, the former overlords of the two countries were defeated by him. In this respect, he can be counted as a general of the Three Kingdoms. However, despite his ability, he voted for the wrong leader of the Democratic Party. If he is Cao Cao's subordinate, he may make great achievements. After Dong Zhuo died, his men took refuge in his master. Only Xu Rong didn't defect. Perhaps in his view, no matter who controlled the imperial court, Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun were all his men, but they died in the hands of their former colleagues. This is also his persistence and loyalty as a soldier.
How did Xu Rong die?
Xu Rong is a famous soldier in the Three Kingdoms, with outstanding military achievements. Cao Cao, who once defeated the invincible army, and Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong whose military strength cannot be underestimated. In three years, Liangzhou soldiers rebelled, Yun3 made an insurrection, and Xu Rong and others were sent. Unfortunately, when he died in Xinfeng, a generation of generals fell.
Dong Zhuo is cruel by nature. During his dictatorship, Chang 'an people were miserable, frightened and sinister everywhere. It has aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials and the hatred of the people. In Pingping for three years, Bing soldiers provoked conflicts with Liangzhou soldiers, and Bing people Lu Bu and Wang Yun took advantage of the chaos to kill Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo died, Chang 'an people sang and danced to celebrate and cheer. Li Jue, a subordinate of Dong Zhuo, was afraid of being punished by Yun3 and fled everywhere. Counselor Jia Xu advised them to recall Liangzhou soldiers to Chang 'an, so Li Jue and other Liangzhou soldiers began to rebel. The civil strife in the imperial court has just subsided. Seeing another fierce battle, Yun3 began to panic and ordered Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to be caught off guard. But in fact, Hu Zhen and others had a bad relationship with Wang Yun, and they had already joined hands with Li Jue and others in private, making innocent Xu Rong fight alone and unfortunately died in Xinfeng. After Li Jue, Guo Si and hundreds of other soldiers besieged Chang 'an, Lu Bu fled eastward and Wang Yun was killed.
So Xu Rong became a victim of the war and died without regret. Unfortunately, Xu Rong is dead. But more tragically, as a loyal minister, he defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian successively, but was ignored and forgotten. It is sad that Xu Rong died not of military defeat, but of political conspiracy. Such a talented general, no matter which side he took refuge in the later Three Kingdoms, will write more brilliant history.
Three Kingdoms Xu Rong
Xu Rong, a famous soldier in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, died in the battle of Xinfeng in 192. He is famous for defeating Cao Cao and Sun Jian. After being killed by Stuart Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo worked for Wang Yun and was unfortunately killed in the battle with Li Jue, Guo Si and other Liangzhou soldiers.
There are few records about Xu Rong in history, but these facts cannot be forgotten, because he has made great military achievements and made
For Sun Zhuo, it is the tiger of the East. When Sun Jian led Yuzhou soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong and Mona Lee to fight. Xu Rong and Sun Jian fought in Liang, and Sun Jian was defeated. Although Dong Zhuo was cruel, Sun Jian's defeat boosted Dong Zhuo's morale, which can be said to be a great victory. As a general, such a man who defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian can say that his success is not worth it.
There are only three stories about Xu Rong in history, namely, the death of defeated Cao, the death of Sun and the death of Xu. Li Jue and Guo Si, Dong Zhuo's old men, were hunted by Wang Yun, but killed by Jia Xu, and called Liangzhou soldiers to attack Chang 'an all the way. There was a surprise attack on Wang Yun. Just after dealing with the civil strife, I was attacked again. Xu Rong and others were not ready yet, and they were severely beaten when their fighting capacity was not strong. Xu Rong died tragically because he was excluded by Liangzhou soldiers. When Li Jue and others were powerful, Xu Rong was naturally killed. So Xu Rong's death doesn't mean that Xu Rong has no military capability, but the political environment at that time was unfavorable to him.
