"The general's words will be conveyed to the Holy One by me!" the eunuch said. In front of Jia Rong, the eunuch did not dare to entrust him.
"My lord, it's quite hard to come all the way. I'm just going to stay at the General's Mansion for a few days to appreciate the customs of the Western Capital." Jia Rong said.
The eunuch was flattered and agreed repeatedly. He thought it would be a hard job, but he didn't expect that the general was not as arrogant and unreasonable as the eunuchs in the court said.
The eunuch was taken to rest by his servants, and Jia Rong's face turned heavy. He was originally the general of the court, with a high position of power. It was reasonable to take over the three auxiliary lands of Liangzhou and Chang'an. The Han Emperor was not here.
There were too many difficulties in this matter, but I don’t know which minister came up with the idea. He actually sent an envoy to ask for war horses, saying that the national treasury was empty and the land in Liangzhou was poor. He promised to offer thousands of war horses to compensate for the loss. I’m afraid not only Jia Rong’s family would receive it.
to such an edict.
Now that the Han Emperor is in the hands of Cao Cao, sending away thousands of horses is a way to help future enemies. But if he refuses, he will clearly tell the world that the Xiliang army does not listen to the imperial court's orders.
In the meeting hall, there were only four people: Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Li and Jia Rong.
"Military advisor, what do you think about this matter?"
Jia Xu collected his thoughts for a while and replied: "War horses cannot be given, but they cannot be refused. I expected that some state herdsmen would disobey orders this time, especially Ding Tai of Bingzhou and Liu Yan of Yizhou. If the general could bear the pain,
If you give the imperial court a thousand war horses, the bad opinion of the people in the world towards the general will disappear. But our army's war horses are scarce, so how can we give them to the imperial court?"
"But we have glass, and we also have wine. Why not use these things to compensate for the war horses? I don't think anyone in the world can say anything."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "That's a great idea. Just use wine. Anyway, we set the price. Let's set the price of this batch of wine higher."
"My lord, Liangzhou is a barren land, and Guanzhong has experienced wars for a long time. Why not ask for help from the imperial court? Then next time the imperial court asks for supplies and horses from our army, it will have a reason to shirk." Zhang Zhao said, cupping his fists.
As expected, there is strength in numbers.
Three days later, the eunuch left Chang'an with a happy face, and the carriage behind him contained wine worth three million yuan.
Of course, the Han Emperor who was far away in Yanzhou learned about the world-famous wine, luminous beads and other things, and wanted to play with them. However, Yanzhou's finances were really in a slump, and the expenses of the palace were suppressed to an extremely low level by Cao Cao. Sometimes the Han Emperor even needed
Officials worked to make ends meet, and the dignified Emperor of Han lived in such a state, which was unprecedented in history.
Jia Rong took out something worth three million at once, which moved the Han Emperor slightly. Especially the letter written by Jia Xu made the Han Emperor even more ashamed. He naturally knew that Chang'an had gathered more than 100,000 refugees.
At the same time, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Sun Ce from Jiangdong, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan from Youzhou all came up with corresponding supplies. However, Ding Tai from Bingzhou and Yuan Shu from Yangzhou turned a deaf ear and did not take their orders to heart at all.
This made Han Emperor Long Yan furious.
All these things were sent to the Shaofu. With the support of these materials, the Han Emperor's waist became slightly stronger.
The land of Liangzhou has successfully passed through the disaster years, but it does not mean that other places can also have such strength. Jingzhou and other places are big grain and rice states. They have hoarded money and grain in countless ways. The disaster is relatively small. They only need to guard the city.
It's enough to let the refugees in, but it won't work in Yangzhou under Yuan Shu's rule. It can be said that mourning is everywhere, and there are countless people who have lost their fields and fallen grass and turned into bandits. The whole Liangzhou is like boiling porridge, which makes Yuan Shu's military strength increase a lot. It's a good one
The prosperous prefectures and counties were turned into a mess by Yuan Shu.
The same is true for Bingzhou. It was originally a border land. When Ding Yuan entered Luoyang, he took away a large number of troops, horses, food and grass, and bandits were everywhere. As a shepherd of Bingzhou, Ding Tai still had certain means and courage, forming good families and gathering troops.
, pursued and killed the bandits, spared no effort, displayed the great spirit of the Xiliang army in suppressing bandits, and won a lot of popular support. However, Ding Tai was not interested in helping the affected people overcome the difficulties. In his opinion, only strong
The army was the most important. As for the people under his rule fleeing to the land of Sanfu, he didn't care. He opened the city gates along the way and even asked the officials under his rule to point out a way for the people affected by the disaster.
The Xiliang army seemed to have consumed countless amounts of food and supplies, but it was the biggest profiteer. The wide official roads and canals greatly changed the appearance of Liangzhou.
Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu. In addition to Liaodong and other places, he controlled all the land of Youzhou. Youzhou merged with Liangzhou, which was the border area of the Han Dynasty. It was the primary city attacked by Xianbei and other foreigners. After gaining Youzhou, Gongsun Zan reorganized Baima Yicong.
, Recruiting soldiers widely, of course, Gongsun Zan has never forgotten the old hatred with Yuan Shao.
After the melee between the princes in various places, there was a brief period of stability, and there was an endless stream of businessmen from all over the place, especially in Chang'an, where the glass fairy and other objects were available, which attracted countless businessmen to go there happily.
The whole world is dominated by Jia Rong from Liangzhou, Cao Cao from Yanzhou, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Ding Tai from Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Sun Ce from Jiangdong, Yuan Shu from Yangzhou, Liu Bei from Yuzhou, and Tao from Xuzhou.
Qian, Liu Yan of Yizhou and other forces were the main ones.
I have to say that Liu Bei's luck was really good. After Gongsun Zan broke away, he led his soldiers to suppress bandits in Qingzhou. Although Qingzhou was eventually divided between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Liu Bei took advantage of this opportunity to take over Yuzhou and became the Yuzhou herder of the Han Dynasty. He was displaced from place to place.
After many years, he finally had a city of his own. Liu Bei cherished it very much, implemented benevolent policies, treated the people well, and won the hearts of the people. Although thieves and robbers were rampant under his rule, he was fortunate to have the courage of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Liu Bei declared himself to be the shepherd of Yuzhou, recruiting troops and horses.
Yuzhou and Jingzhou are the same as the place of the Four Wars. Yuan Shu in Yangzhou has a strong army, Cao Cao in Yanzhou is as powerful as a tiger, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has thousands of armored men across the country, and no one is easy to mess with.
Liu Bei had a royal title, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou also bought into it, and everything was fine for a while.
Let us say that Guo Da was repulsed by Cao Cao's elite troops and lost his prestige in the land of Qingyan. He led his men to fight in various places. The army's food, grass and other supplies were increasingly scarce. After one winter, most of the soldiers under his command froze to death and suffered frostbite. Guo Da
Da once again resumed his old profession, leading the Yellow Turban soldiers to loot houses and replenish the army's supplies. Moreover, the villages they looted could also become an important source of troops for the Yellow Turban Army.
"Feizi, how's the investigation going?" General Guo turned his attention to Guo Fei.
Since the fall of Hedong County, Guo Fei's status in the Yellow Turban Army has been declining day by day. In the past, he could only look up to his own generals and treat him strangely. However, after the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, Guo Da reactivated him, and his status was higher than before.
Once he gained power, Guo Fei became more prudent in his work.
"General, most of the states and counties have suffered disasters and are unable to take care of us. Our old enemy Cao Cao is also recuperating at home. Taking advantage of this opportunity to plunder, our army will surely be able to restore its previous strength and then compete with Cao Cao's army for a showdown."
Guo Da reached out and gave Guo Fei a slap in the face, and cursed: "It's a showdown, bullshit. Can we deal with Cao Cao's cavalry? And Yuan Shao's army."
Guofei Nuonuo.
"Yuzhou changed hands not long ago, and Yingchuan was an important activity area for our army at the beginning, so we will definitely be able to achieve unexpected gains." Next to Guo Da, a middle-aged man said thoughtfully.
This middle-aged man is the chief strategist of Guo Da's Yellow Turban Army. He is a think-tank-like figure. His surname is in the list. He is a down-and-out scholar who suffered from drought and lost his farmland. He joined the Yellow Turban Army out of desperation and was discovered by Guo Da.
, made many suggestions and was highly valued by Guo Da, who worshiped him as a military advisor.
Guo Fei echoed: "The military advisor is wise!" But he never dared to mention Cao Cao again. Facing Cao Cao's group of lifeless soldiers, even the Yellow Turban Army, which had never taken human life seriously, was a little timid, especially the cavalry.
, although there were only more than a thousand people, they dared to attack the battle formation of more than ten thousand people. The weapons in their hands were weird, and the cavalry's armor was excellent. It was not something that the Yellow Turbans could withstand. I am afraid that only the world-famous Xiliang Army could resist.
Guo Da thought for a while, and out of trust in Shan, he gave an order and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans began to move toward Yingchuan County in Yuzhou. The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans had a combat strength of about 60,000 and 20,000 elite soldiers.
The 20,000 men were the real Yellow Turban elites who were not afraid of life and death. In a battle with Cao Cao, it seemed that Cao Cao's army had won a great victory, but in fact the Yellow Turbans' vitality had not been lost.
The Yellow Turbans spread from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, bringing devastating disasters to the people.
When Liu Bei defeated Yuzhou, he had no more than 10,000 troops under his command. The 20,000 soldiers he had just recruited had no combat effectiveness at all. They were just ordinary people who had just put down their farming tools.
Guo Da led 60,000 soldiers to run rampant in Yingchuan County. The officers and soldiers were unable to resist, and more and more people were forced to join the Yellow Turban Army.
In less than a month, Guo Da occupied Yingchuan County.
After Guo Da occupied Yingchuan County, he followed Yu Shan's advice and did not carry out the previous plundering. Instead, he governed Yingchuan and sent generals to lead troops to station in various places. If the Han officials surrendered, they would also entrust important tasks to their generals.
Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to resist Guo Da.
Guo Da often asked himself, why the Yellow Turban Army could not become stronger when the great virtuous division led millions of soldiers, but was still defeated by the Han soldiers at sunset. The reason was that the Yellow Turban soldiers did not have the city to provide supplies. Once they encountered the powerful Han army,
, food and supplies cannot arrive, which is when the nightmare comes. There is a lack of counselors in the army and a lack of officials to govern.
After grasping this point, one can imagine how much Guo Da relies on Shan.
The Yellow Turban soldiers were not very effective in combat, but they had a persistent spirit. When attacking a city, even without armor, they still dared to face difficulties with their chests and backs open, and they were not afraid of swords and arrows.
After occupying Yingchuan, Guo Da opened his warehouses, provided relief to the people, and encouraged them to resume normal farming. Of course, the wealthy businessmen in the city gave the name of the Yellow Turban Army the direction of the sword, and one by one the aristocratic families were uprooted. Guo Da was kind to the people,
But the beliefs of the Yellow Turban Army cannot tolerate these powerful families.
