Jia Xu sighed and stopped talking. He was familiar with Jia Rong's character and knew that no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. However, Jia Rong leading the soldiers forward was the best result. He was the backbone of the soldiers' hearts and could do his best.
The greatest mobilization of morale on the battlefield, apart from the sophistication of weapons, is the indomitable momentum in the hearts of soldiers.
"Lord, three thousand people are really too few. Why don't we send five thousand cavalry?" Zhang Zhao looked worried. In his mind, Jia Rong's best choice was to take charge of Chang'an.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Master Zhang, it is extremely difficult for five thousand people to survive in the desert. Xianbei went out in large numbers. Most of the people left behind are old and weak. Three thousand people are enough to decide the overall situation!"
"Without further delay, we will take action tomorrow. This matter is the top secret in the Xiliang Army. Apart from the five of us, it cannot be spread to the sixth person."
"No!" The four of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
In the seemingly peaceful city of Chang'an, there were countless restless people. Not all officials left after the Han Emperor left. Among those left behind were spies from the imperial court. There were also some aristocratic families who appeared to be honest and at peace with the Xiliang army.
No matter what, my little calculation must be loud in my mind.
Leaving Chang'an is regarded as Chang'an's top secret.
Of course, the deployment of troops and generals within Chang'an City cannot be concealed, but if you observe carefully, you will find that in every team of soldiers leaving the city, hundreds of people will disappear inexplicably.
Late at night the next day, Jia Rong appeared fifty miles away from Chang'an.
Three thousand cavalry stood there quietly, with no sound of conversation except for the occasional neighing of horses. Before Jia Rong arrived, they didn't even know who their commander was.
Jia Rong came to the front of the team and without any nonsense, ordered directly: "Target, Beidi County!"
The rumble of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night. The people who were awakened along the way thought that they were under the rule of the Xiliang Army and fell asleep peacefully.
Excitement can be faintly seen on the faces of each cavalryman. Yes, the blood on the battlefield did not make them feel afraid. The coach is Jia Rong. Such a good thing is regarded as the highest honor in the Xiliang Army. Of course, among the soldiers in private
During this period, many soldiers who had experienced battles with Jia Rong attracted others' yearning.
The Xianbei army approached Yanmen Pass. Based on the situation of the soldiers in the pass, Jia Xu and Guo Jia roughly estimated that they could only hold the city for a month. The time was limited, so they rushed towards Beidi County overnight regardless of the horses under them.
Jia Rong secretly led his soldiers to Beidi County, and Lu Bu was ordered to come out to greet him. It was midnight at this time.
"Fengxian, I believe you have received the order from the military advisor. You lead a hundred people to join the team behind me and kill the Xianbei people's nest overnight." Jia Rong said solemnly.
"No!" Lu Bu said, cupping his fists.
It is Lu Bu's dream to roam the battlefield. He is an out-and-out military commander. Only on the battlefield can he feel his greatest value. The former unintentionally let Wang Yun and the Han Emperor go, which made him understand
At this point, he was faintly glad that Jia Rong sent him to Beidi County. He was not in a complicated city like Chang'an and had thousands of soldiers in his hands. His confidence was restored again.
"Have the affairs in the county been arranged?" Jia Rong asked.
"My lord, after I leave my humble post, nothing will go wrong in the county! All the necessary food, grass, water sources, etc. have been prepared when entering the desert, and the place where the war horses are placed."
After leaving Chang'an for nearly a year, Jia Rong had a look of satisfaction on his face after seeing the great changes that had taken place in Lu Bu.
"Fengxian, after this battle, you return to Chang'an, where there will be more wars waiting for you!"
"promise!"
"This is Mr. Guo Jiaguo, the military advisor of the army!" Jia Rong solemnly introduced Guo Jia to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu did not dare to neglect and hurried forward to salute, "Greetings to the military advisor!"
Guo Jia helped Lu Bu up and said in a mature tone: "General Lu is really a tiger general in the world. With General Lu as his guard, he has a greater chance of winning when he goes to the Xianbei headquarters this time."
Lu Bu looked happy. Everyone likes nice words.
After placing the war horses properly, taking advantage of the darkness, a group of more than 3,000 people headed towards the vast desert.
Thinking about being forced to the desert by Geng Bi and narrowly escaping death, I feel a little nostalgic. In the desert, I saw a brotherly relationship and received a strong general like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
For a team of 3,100 people, water consumption is a huge problem, and the mighty camel caravan is doubly conspicuous in the deserted desert.
The upper echelons of the Xiliang Army have long regarded Xianbei as a formidable enemy, and have roughly figured out the route from Beidi County to Xianbei. Of course, the price paid is also huge.
Let's say that Guo Si, Jiang Yu, and Xu Shu led eight thousand Xiliang troops to the border of Bingzhou after ten days. At the beginning of the expedition, Jia Xu announced to the world in the name of the General's Mansion: "Today, the Xiongnu in Bingzhou are causing harm to the people, and the general is kind."
With this in mind, we send troops to quell the rebellion. The army is everywhere, and all counties and counties must not neglect to provide grain, grass and other supplies!"
The awe-inspiring words of righteousness blocked the mouth of the world. In any case, Jia Rong is the general of the Han Dynasty. He is in charge of the war of the world. If there is war in Bingzhou, then the general's office has the responsibility to send troops to quell the rebellion. A discerning person can see it at a glance.
It can be seen that the Xiliang Army is extending its expansionary hand to Bingzhou, but the Xianbei army outside Yanmen Pass is difficult to deal with. There may be many people secretly waiting to see the Xiliang Army's big show. Bingzhou Mu Dingtai is the former
The nephew of Bingzhou Mu Dingyuan is at odds with the Xiliang army. It is probably impossible to occupy Bingzhou in an instant.
In great desperation, Ding Tai wanted to mobilize his troops and generals to resist the Xiliang army, but was persuaded by his advisers to stop him.
"Sir, Jia Rong is a general and has the power to control the troops and horses in the world. Now that the Xiongnu is raging, why not use the Xiliang army to eradicate the Xiongnu? Our army only needs to hold on to the city without losing strength. I am afraid that the Xiliang army will not be able to defeat the Xiongnu.
As a humble official, I heard that the Xiliang army that came to the rescue this time was only 8,000 people, but our army has 40,000 people. How can we be afraid! And your Excellency led the army to attack the Xiliang army, and Jia Rong had an excuse to attack Bingzhou.
"How will the general deal with Jia Rong's tiger and wolf army then?" Chen Yi, the Bingzhou Farewell Commander, advised.
When Ding Yuan was the shepherd of Bingzhou, Chen Yi was his staff, and he had a lot of strategies in mind. Ding Tai, a person with little reputation, was able to occupy Bingzhou with his help, and his methods can be imagined.
After hearing Chen Yi's words, all the officials in Bingzhou fell silent.
Ding Tai was overjoyed and said, "In that case, I'll leave you alone."
"There's no need to worry about doing things for the Lord. But we have an order and it's our duty to do so." Chen Yi bowed and said.
Ding Tai was very satisfied with Chen Yi's attitude.
Chen Yi's methods in Bingzhou were enough to shock those who heard it. When Ding Tai first came to power, there were many dissatisfied people, and Chen Yi paid heavy sums of money to bribe the servants of the dissatisfied officials, asking them to come forward to slander the officials and execute them.
A group of people.
Some officials just said a few words and offended Chen Yi. In the light case, they were dismissed from office, in the case of serious cases, they were framed and imprisoned. Everyone in the family was implicated. They recruited soldiers and increased taxes. These two people joined forces and did a lot of good things.
It can be counted, and the bad things are too numerous to describe.
In Bingzhou, every official had a look of fear when talking about Chen Yi. Under that plain face, it was impossible to guess what kind of conspiracy and tricks were hidden, and no one dared to try. As time went by,
, the prestige established by Chen Yi in Bingzhou was greater than that of Ding Tai, the pastor of Bingzhou. Officials did not know Ding Tai, but everyone knew Chen Yi.
With Chen Yi's words, the counties and counties along the way really helped with all their resources, including grain and grass supplies.
Approaching Guangyan, what greeted the soldiers of the Xiliang Army turned into a deserted village. Piles of ashes seemed to be telling the soldiers their experiences. The erosion of the rain could not conceal the tragic scenes that had been staged on this land.
.
When Jiang Yu saw this scene, he gritted his steel teeth and followed Jia Rong for a long time. He also completely learned the idea of caring for the people. Now that he saw the people suffering such misfortune, his heart was filled with resentment.
Guo Bang gently pulled the reins of Jiang Yu's horse and said in a low voice: "General Jiang, the master sent us here to save more people. Don't lose the big for the small!"
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then understood immediately, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, General Guo, for reminding me!"
"We are both under the general's tent, so there is no need to be polite!" Guo Si said softly.
Jiang Yu took a closer look at Guo Si. To be honest, before the expedition, not only the generals of the Xiliang Army were confused about Jia Rong's appointment, but Jiang Yu was also the same. In his opinion, Guo Si was just a coincidence.
Later, he joined the Xiliang Army from Dong Zhuo's tent. In addition, Jia Rong was a sworn brother, so he was like a fish in water in the army. This kind of person who did not rely on military merit to reach the position would be easily despised by the soldiers in the Xiliang Army.
In the marching tent, Guo Si was at the top, Xu Shu and Jiang Yu were on the left and right, and Hua Xiong and other generals were at the bottom.
"Military advisor, what should we do after seeing what the Xiongnu did?" Guo Bang turned his attention to Xu Shu.
"Commander, what the Xiongnu did in the Han Dynasty is really the outrage of heaven and earth. However, the Xiongnu's military strength is still strong. If they win head-on, it will be an advantage to Ding Tai. The master sent us to merge the state and it is not just a simple assistant.
To counter the rebellion, what he wants is a stable Bingzhou, not a Bingzhou that eradicates the Xiongnu and continues to fight the Bingzhou army," Xu Shu said.
Guo Bang nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is true. The counties and counties along the way have secretly left flames. As soon as the news of the lord's attack on Xianbei's lair comes, these places will be occupied immediately. It can be said that Shangjun has become the target of the Xiliang army.
.”
Jiang Yu snorted coldly and said nothing. He was a brave general on the battlefield, and he was somewhat disapproving of such a capture of the city.
Xu Shu said: "Commander, the current situation is how to move back from the Xiongnu to a disadvantage and suppress the Huns without consuming our army's strength."
"Want to hear the details!"
Xu Shu said slowly: "Dingtai of Bingzhou had about 40,000 capable soldiers. They were confronting the Xiongnu in the Zhenlin area. After learning about the arrival of our army, the Bingzhou army stood still. Apparently, he wanted our army and the Xiongnu to die.
It is obvious that he turned a deaf ear to the call for help from the Yanmen Pass guard. In the past, the lord defeated the Bingzhou army outside Luoyang City, Ding Yuan died, and Bingzhou Mu Dingtai was his nephew. There must be resentment in his heart, even if our army
After annihilating the Huns, Ding Tai would not feel grateful, but would fight against them with swords."
