() The White Wave Army took advantage of the situation and recruited homeless refugees. Wherever the army went, officers and soldiers fled. Gradually, Bo Cai gathered about 200,000 fighting men under his command. Although the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness was not very good
, but the most valuable thing is that there are many people. If there are more than 10,000 people, it will be boundless. With 200,000 people, people can’t help but retreat.
The conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in Youzhou has further intensified, especially when it comes to dealing with foreigners. Liu Yu has always pursued an affinity policy, while Gongsun Zan has been killing people. Over time, the conflict has become deeper and deeper.
Under Yuan Shao's deliberate instigation, the two of them tore off the last layer of shame and faced each other with swords and guns.
At the same time, Cao Cao's actions in Dongjun also shocked the world. He first defeated the Yellow Turban Army around Dongjun and recruited him into his army. He trained day and night and obtained more than ten thousand elite soldiers.
The White Wave Yellow Turbans were very popular in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and were rampant. Liu Dai was invited by Qingzhou Muxiang, and Liu Dai led his troops there. He did not want to be defeated by the elite Yellow Turbans led by Guo Da, and he himself was killed by the Yellow Turbans.
The soldiers fled back to Yanzhou in embarrassment. Guo Da's reputation among the Yellow Turbans was as high as the sky. Compared with defeating a state herdsman, the previous battles were just minor battles.
Liu Dai himself became the highest-ranking official killed in action since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
After Liu Dai's death, under the repeated instigation of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Cao Cao led 20,000 troops to take control of Yanzhou, and the Han Emperor became the shepherd of Yanzhou. After that, Cao Cao appeased the people's livelihood, and with the support of strong military power, he quickly
Yanzhou was pacified within a short period of time. Regarding the Yellow Turbans' strategy, Cao Cao ignored the advice of his advisers and recruited them into the army and distributed the fields. Those who are interested can find that Cao Cao's behavior is similar to that of Jia Rong in Liangzhou. The Yellow Turbans are both
The suffering people could once again have their fields and a stable family, so one can imagine the gratitude they felt towards Cao Cao.
After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao had capital and began to show his heroic tactics, recruiting troops and horses, intending to completely defeat the Yellow Turban Army that was chaotic in Qingzhou and other places. This coincided with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Guo Da led the Baibo Army in Qingzhou, Jizhou
Yanzhou is rampant. Wherever it passes, people's livelihood is in ruins. Corpses are everywhere. Those who hear it are saddened and those who see it shed tears.
After Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to congratulate him. In his opinion, the strength of his old friend was a powerful foreign aid. The Xiliang army in Liangzhou was too powerful. If the two of them joined forces, the Xiliang army would not be able to win.
No longer so scary.
With great efforts, Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and defeated the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. The arrogant Guo Da suffered an unprecedented devastating blow from Cao Cao, so he had to lead his soldiers to temporarily avoid the enemy.
After defeating the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao did not chase them all like other county officials, but used the power of the army to integrate the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans were true to the people, and there were many brave and good warriors among them. In the battle of blood and fire
During the training, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban soldiers was much better than that of ordinary county soldiers. With a little training, they could be put into the battlefield. Moreover, Cao Cao strictly ordered his soldiers not to discriminate against the Yellow Turban Army, which won the hearts of many Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Xiliang army's strong expansion of territory made Cao Cao feel unprecedented panic. If you had not fought against Jia Rong, you would never imagine how many good cards he had in his hands. The cavalry's stirrups and horseshoes were a pioneering work across the ages. Cao Cao
The cavalry under his command are all equipped, and the Blood Guard's scimitars have also been put into production after testing. However, there is a lack of war horses in the Central Plains. The equipment of one cavalry is enough to support five infantry. They are not as wealthy and powerful as Jia Rong in the Cao family.
With the support of financial resources, they could barely gather a thousand cavalry, which was already an incredible force in the Central Plains.
Yuan Shao took the opportunity to lead his soldiers towards Qingzhou, intending to get a piece of the pie. Yuan Shao's strength gained the upper hand and he held most of Qingzhou's territory in his hands.
At this point, the two families of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou and sent officials to govern. The Chang'an court also turned a blind eye to this, and the prefects and governors of various places had lost actual control.
Gongsun Zan gathered 20,000 men to fight against Liu Yu, defeated Liu Yu, and occupied the land of Youzhou. Youzhou lost six of its members. Liu Yu's Cao Rong, Wei You, helped Gongsun Zan a lot during this period and became Gongsun Zan's right-hand man, helping Liu Yu.
Yu put down the rebellions in various places in Youzhou. Liu Yu implemented benevolent policies during his lifetime and had great prestige among the people. Even if he occupied Youzhou, Gongsun Zan still had to make a lot of efforts.
Youzhou is established, Gongsun Zan is also recruiting troops and preparing money and food. Since Youzhou and Jizhou are close, there is no guarantee that Yuan Shao will do anything drastic.
After carefully reading the information one by one, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling that the rise of the Central Plains princes was too fierce. Compared with the Xiliang army, they were infinitely stronger. The border counties were always border counties. With the support of Xianlian Pavilion, they could only guarantee governance.
The people of Li below can live a life with just enough food and clothing. If all the counties were as prosperous as the Golden City, I am afraid that Jia Rong would have expanded his army to 100,000.
Liangzhou is originally a barren land, lacking in resources, and merchants would have little benefit from trading here.
To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty is the world of aristocratic families, which is composed of aristocratic families. Jia Rong's governance strategy completely conflicts with the interests of the aristocratic families. There is little possibility of cooperation between the two. However, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others have no obstacles in this regard.
They themselves come from aristocratic families and can easily be recognized by the aristocratic families.
With a long sigh, Jia Rong stood up and left. The three counties of Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Jiuquan were already under the control of the Xiliang Army, and the ten counties of Liangzhou were in Jia Rong's hands. I believe that after some management by the officials, the current predicament will gradually be overcome.
Compared with the nine counties of Jingxiang, the ten counties of Liangzhou sound so spectacular, but in fact it is not the case. No matter how hard Jia Rong tries, Liangzhou will always be a bitter and cold place, and there will not be anything as extraordinary as Jincheng in the next three years.
In the Central Plains County, Jincheng's rise relied on Xianlian Pavilion, unless Jia Rong could create an existence comparable to Xianlian Pavilion to drive the economic development of each county.
Beidi County, apart from the advantage of strong folk customs, is very poor. If the battle starts, Jia Rong will already laugh if they can not hold back.
The agriculture in the Hexi Corridor is an eye-opener for Jia Rong, who is used to the barrenness of Liangzhou. The scenery is pleasant, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. It is a rare treasure. It can be said that the most important thing in Liangzhou is the Hexi Corridor. Not only does it have
It will become an important base for food and a war horse base for the Xiliang Army.
Standing on a high place and overlooking this land, I believe that the Hexi Corridor will rise rapidly in the near future.
At present, the premise is to completely settle down the foreigners. There are not only Di and Qiang people but also Huns. Living in the Han territory for a long time has made them adapt to the life here.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of Zhang Liao's troops. Under the deterrence of powerful force, wherever they go, there are voices of surrender.
Jia Rong summoned the chiefs of the foreign tribes. In the face of interests, the chiefs chose to surrender. The Han governors in Jiuquan and other three places were completely repulsive to the foreign tribes. In their words, they were the emperor of heaven. How could this be true?
It can accommodate Rong and Di.
Zhang Liao's army was left at Yumen Pass by Jia Rong. It was called guarding the frontier, but in fact it was to take care of Jia Rong's racecourse. When Zhang Liao saw the establishment of the Hexi racecourse, he would not have any complaints. Bingzhou and Liangzhou
It also belongs to the border area, and most of the soldiers are cavalry. The Xiliang Army has its own horse farm. You can imagine the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of cavalry galloping in the near future.
After Dunhuang was captured, Zhang Li sent officials to manage it. Today's Xiliang Army Group is no longer comparable to the past. Officials are dispatched according to procedures. No matter how outstanding your ability is, you must start from the grassroots level.
Most talented people were appointed by Zhang Li as magistrates of a county, and their political achievements were used as capital for their promotion.
Jia Rong was not in Chang'an, and the thoughts of the officials in the DPRK became alive again. The actions of newcomers such as Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao made the officials in the DPRK feel happy but also full of worries.
Fortunately, these princes are all members of aristocratic families and have conflicts of interest with Jia Rong. If these princes gather together again to attack Jia Rong of Chang'an, great things will happen.
No matter how high the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is, it can resist the Kwantung princes in the past mainly because of Dong's army. Moreover, the Xiliang Army is not monolithic. There are remnants of Dong Zhuo's army and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army. As long as they are promised enough benefits,
Officials in the court believed that these generals might defect. Otherwise, why would Jia Rong send Zhang Liao to Yumen Pass? The idea of guarding the border was nothing more than clever words.
The worry is whether any of these princes really want to revitalize the Han Dynasty. The bloodbaths in Chang'an again and again have made officials see the tough methods of those in charge of Chang'an City. How can a pen be as good as a gun?
"Cao Cao!" During the period when Jia Rongyuan left, the Han Dynasty spread the news about this man's deeds. The speed of his rise was staggering but it was natural. Many officials who had old ties with the Cao family in the past secretly sent people to contact him.
After Jia Rong conquered Dunhuang, the Han Emperor could not sit still. He summoned the ministers of the court in private many times, and the discussions often lasted until midnight.
However, in recent days, Chang'an has calmed down strangely. The officials in the court seemed to have forgotten the important task of reviving the great Han Dynasty. They kept silent about political affairs in the court and stayed behind closed doors when they returned home.
Jia Xu looked at the information in his hand, with an imperceptible smile on his face. So what if it infringes on the interests of the family? The current Xiliang army cannot be shaken by the rotten scholars in the court. It is impossible for the princes to attack like the eighteen princes in those days.
With such a gathering, Jia Rong's control over military power is definitely the strongest. Even if the Bingzhou Army generals intend to rebel, the soldiers at the bottom may not agree. After spending a lot of effort and money, many of the original Bingzhou Army generals and
The soldiers' families were taken to Jincheng or Chang'an.
Since Jia Rong left Chang'an, these aristocratic families have been dishonest. On the surface, they are peaceful and contented, but secretly they are doing things that they dare not let the Xiliang army know, like the people in the city causing chaos. There is no trace of the aristocratic family that time, but these small fights
Just making a fuss, Jia Xu didn't want the world to see how brutal the Xiliang army was.
