Along the way, the Xiliang army arrived at Jiuquan County in great glory. It was located in the plateau area. Some soldiers had vomiting and dizziness, but they recovered after resting for a while.
Jiuquan, a very famous place in later generations, Jia Rong had to sigh with emotion again.
"Lord, the city is not stable. It is better to bring more soldiers." Zhang Liao hurriedly advised Jia Rong when he saw that Jia Rong was about to enter the city alone.
Jia Rong turned around and looked at Xu Shu and Zhang Liao, nodded with a smile and said: "Jiuquan is located on the border, and the folk customs are strong and strong, which is normal. I will set up an arena here in the future to meet the heroes of the three nearby counties."
Xu Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly. Under the touch of Jia Rong's eyes, he who once commanded thousands of troops actually trembled slightly. After more than a year, this lord seemed to have changed a lot, and there was a faint trace of his body.
His temperament made Xu Shu slightly nervous.
"Zilong, let the Blood Guard follow me, otherwise you won't be able to tell me if I'm in danger in the city when I get back." Jia Rong joked.
Xu Shu and Zhang Liao had a different taste in hearing these words. He had been ruling the place for nearly a year, and when his lord came in person, he had to be closely followed by guards to protect him.
The people in the city had already ordered Xu Shu to stand quietly on both sides of the street.
Jia Rong felt curiosity, laughter, and even anger in their eyes.
There was no buzzing scene, and the Blood Guard felt a little surprised. In the past, when they visited any city, people rushed to watch it, and the buzzing sound was endless. This strange silence gave them the feeling that they were too redundant, which is why
The thing is tension. In such an atmosphere, there is no guarantee that some extremely vicious people will be killed. The strength of the aristocratic family is spread all over the country.
After walking through this period of the road that Jia Rong thought was very difficult, Jia Rong felt an unprecedented sense of loss. What if you have millions of soldiers? Even the people at the bottom are not convinced by you. How can you talk about anything else?
If you don't sweep, how can you sweep the world? If you can't get the hearts of ordinary people, how can you talk about conquering the world?
"Yuan Zhi, there is still a big gap between your ability to lead troops in battle and your ability to govern a place."
"My lord, forgive me!" Xu Shu knelt down in front of Jia Rong. Ever since his mother was taken to Jincheng, Xu Shu had determined to follow Jia Rong and worked hard in the army.
Jia Rong stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "Yuan Zhi, I believe you have a specific understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Now that I am sending you to the military advisor, do you have any objections?"
"I will obey my lord's order!" Xu Shu bowed and said.
Arrange Xu Shu next to Jia Xu and learn more about battlefield strategies. The Xiliang army will definitely take the offensive route in the future. What they need is someone who can conquer and strategize well, not someone who can defend the success. After more than a year, Dong Zhuo won the battle in Xiliang.
The influence of the Liang Army has been reduced to a minimum. In addition to Li Ru, other generals were also able to reverse the camp under the attitude of Corporal Jia Ronglixian. Zhang Liao, Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Xu Rong and other veteran generals of the Dong Army also acted under the Xiliang Army.
Tianpu, who was able to do his best and was responsible for investigating the officials' situation, reported everyone's information to Jia Xu.
"Tell me about the situation in the city."
"After the Di rebellion in the city, people's livelihood in Jiuquan, which was already poor, was even worse. Moreover, under the malicious manipulation of merchants, the price of grain and rice increased rapidly. Many people lost their lives because of this, or were living on the streets. Even in humble positions, they worked hard
To change the status quo, who knows the situation has become more and more complicated. In Jiuquan City, there are Di people, Han people and a small amount of Qiang people mixed together. The situation is unknown." After Xu Shu finished speaking, his face turned red. Jincheng was also full of waste at the beginning, why did Jia Jia
When Rong arrived with his army, there was a scene where the people didn't close their houses or pick up things on the streets at night.
"What about you?" Jia Rong turned his eyes to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's face turned purple. After a long while, he clasped his fists and bowed: "I have failed to complete the task assigned by the general. I have failed to trust you. I ask the general to punish you. Whether it is life or death, Zhang Liao will never frown."
"Wen Yuan, when I hear what you said, it sounds like you have entered an enemy camp. Why, do you think we are enemies?" Jia Rong joked.
Zhang Liao said nonchalantly: "Humble job...humble job"
"Wen Yuan, you and I are both brothers. Besides, no one can make mistakes without being a sage. Please tell me the general situation of Jiuquan and which tribes are more unruly and unruly."
Zhang Liao's heart was filled with waves. Hearing someone say, "You and I are all brothers," was completely different from Jia Rong's words. For a moment, Zhang Liao felt as if he was about to explode. His whole body was filled with endless fighting spirit. He looked towards
Jia Rong's eyes became more and more eager, as if he were seeing a beautiful woman dancing gracefully and wearing sexy clothes.
Xu Shu general Zhang Liao didn't answer for a long time and pushed Zhang Liao who was in reverie.
"General, there are frequent disputes between the Di and Han people in the city. Mr. Xu governs the city with the idea that everyone is equal. This has caused turmoil among the people in the city. The Di tribe has repeatedly asked the prefect for supplies."
Xu Shu saw Jia Rong turning his eyes to him and nodded.
"Oh, so it's the people in the city who are constantly in turmoil, not the Di people?"
Zhang Liao nodded and shook his head, "Most of the unrest among the people is due to the soaring price of rice and the people are unwilling to travel to other places. The unrest among the Di people is due to the uneven distribution of tribes and the conflicts between the Qiang people. Sometimes the Qiang people also
Dissatisfied with governance, they took the lead in rebellion."
Jia Rong waved his hand to signal Zhang Liao to stop. After Zhang Liao said this, Jia Rong felt that a small Jiuquan was more complicated than the major events in the world. It looked like a drama of the Three Kingdoms. You punch me, and I will punch him when you turn around.
Suddenly, another party was unconvinced, fanned the flames, and sat on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers.
"What's going on with the rice grain matter? Didn't Jincheng have money and grain allocated to it?"
Xu Shu said: "Jincheng's money and grain did indeed reduce the price of rice in the city a lot for a period of time, but after a while, the government's rice grain was empty and the price rose again."
Jia Rong nodded. It seems that there are still capable people in Jiuquan who know how to make profits.
"Who are the aristocratic families in the city?" Jia Rong asked without raising his head, holding a brush in his hand and making circles.
"There are three families in the city, Lu, Yu, and Lian. These three families are very stable in the city. Regarding the rice and grain matters in the city, humble officials have also visited them. The three family heads have completely separated everything from them and even supported the prefect's mansion.
Some money and food."
"Are all three families peaceful?" Jia Rong asked.
"That's true. Moreover, the three families do not interact with each other and usually follow the rules."
With a flick of his wrist, the brush in his hand circled the three characters "Lu Yulian" together, and a long arrow pointed directly at Mi Liang.
Xu Shu was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood what this symbol meant, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, it doesn't seem like the three families are behind the rice grains."
Jia Rong laughed and said: "Yuanzhi, things in this world are not as simple as you think. My methods of governing the place have been heard by all the major families in the world. Under the eyes of the Xiliang Army, the families will definitely try their best to cover up their own affairs."
, There must be something wrong with the three families you mentioned. If you don’t believe it, you will know the result in three days.” As early as the beginning of Jia Rong’s arrival in Jiuquan, he ordered the lone wolf soldiers to immediately investigate the affairs of the three major families in Jiuquan after entering Jiuquan, and said that in three days
In fact, it is also to create a sense of mystery.
Xu Shu bowed and said, "My lord is wise!"
"No need to flatter me. Once the matters in the city are settled, you can get up and rush to Chang'an. Wen Yuan will stay in Jiuquan for the time being."
"No!" they both said in unison.
Thousands of reinforcements came to the city, which calmed down the common people and the Di and Qiang people in the city. However, it seemed that these thousands of troops were just for decoration and were stationed outside the city. They usually ran horses outside the city as if they were training.
, there are still those familiar faces patrolling.
After a short period of silence, the noisy Jiuquan fell into noise again. Jia Rong's arrival in Jiuquan still caused a big wave. Even if the people had no news, they had heard some about the achievements of the Xiliang Army.
"The prefect will set up an arena in the city in three days. Anyone can participate. The first place will receive a hundred taels of gold and an official position, the second place will receive fifty taels of gold, the third place will receive thirty taels of gold, and the fourth place will receive twenty gold taels.
Two, five to ten gold taels." A patrolman ran and shouted, causing a great sensation wherever he passed.
What is the concept of "a hundred gold?" It is enough for a bachelor to marry three beautiful wives, and then live happily for the rest of his life. It must be said that the Xiliang army is very wealthy and directly uses gold as reward.
A Di man who reacted grabbed the patrolling soldier and said loudly: "Are you telling the truth?"
The soldier was caught by the Di people and felt unhappy, "There is a notice posted in front of the city gate. You can go and take a look. It has the seal of the prefect on it."
"Can Di people go too?"
"It says anyone, which means whether they are Di, Qiang or Han, they can go."
Di Ren finally let go of the soldier's hand. The patrolman glanced at Di Ren and continued to promote the great cause and spread such news. The soldier finally realized something called attention. Wherever he went, people kept asking questions.
The endless gazes and the scenery are so different from the past where no one looked at me wherever I went.
In less than half a day, the news that the Jiuquan Prefect’s Mansion was going to set up an arena spread throughout the streets and alleys. Everyone was discussing the issue intensely. The people’s impression of the prefect was just that the army entered the city with a strong posture and then overwhelmed the city.
There was a rebellion, and then soldiers were stationed in the city, but the rebellious people would be mercilessly massacred and beaten. However, the prefect's mansion did not have anything to say about the people. During the cold winter, there was a porridge shed at the city gate to help the unsustainable people.
common people.
Setting up an arena to reward a hundred golds will make many people come forward. No matter they are true heroes or villains, they will not miss this opportunity to gain two benefits.
After hearing the news reported by the servant, Lu Fang, the head of the Lu family, sneered: "Hundred gold, set up an arena. It seems that the prefect has nothing to do. If the price of rice grains continues to rise, I would like to see Master Xu."
How to deal with it.”
"No!" After listening to Lu Fang's ramble, the housekeeper bowed and accepted the order.
