Unfortunately, they had just gone 200 miles when they encountered Dong Zhuo's famous general Xu Rong.

Xu Rong is from Liaodong , but he can hold a high position in the fierce and brutal Northwest Army. His ability is evident.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Rong was quickly stabbed to death by Xiahou Dun

According to the description of Luo Guanzhong "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this paragraph is basically consistent with the official history of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". What Cao Hong Rang Ma Shi said " There can be no world without Hong, but there must be no king " is indeed true, but it is inevitable that some wonderful details have been added to the description of the novel. However, according to the description in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao did not turn the corner after crossing the Bian River. Instead, he encountered Xu Rong who led troops in pursuit.

At the critical moment, brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan arrived with dozens of cavalry. Xiahou Dun raised his gun to fight, shouting "Xu Rong will not hurt my lord! ". After only a few seconds of handing over the horse, he stabbed Xu Rong under the horse with his spear and saved Cao Cao.

Later, he prepared to move to the Liangdong area, but during the transfer process, he encountered Xu Rong's army who was out to plunder money and grain, and was killed and defeated. In the end, Sun Jian only led his general Zu Mao and dozens of cavalry to break through and escape. As Xu Rong's men were in hot pursuit, Zu Mao had to change the red turban that Sun Jian often wore and risked his life to distract the pursuers. In the end, Sun Jian was able to escape.

In total, his death date was later than planned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" For 2 full years.
