"With Brother Zhou's ability, I will definitely have a place in the Xiliang army. Maybe I will ask you to be careful in the future." After the matter was settled, Zhou Yi also affectionately called Zhou Yan his brother.
Zhou Yan said: "Without further delay, I will order the generals in the army to go to the big tent to discuss matters. Brother Zhou went out of the city overnight to report this matter to the general!"
When Jia Rong learned that Zhou Yan was willing to surrender, he was overjoyed and praised Zhou Yi repeatedly. The smaller the price he paid, the more advantageous it would be to capture Youzhou.
In Jingling City, Duan Xuan could no longer defend the city safely. Jia Rong led an army of 70,000 to besiege Gan Yang. The news spread throughout Bingzhou. Before Jia Rong's letter of persuasion to surrender had arrived, some local officials could not wait to express their attitude.
, the letter said more or less bad things about Li Ru, saying that it was difficult for him to protect himself at the beginning. When the water was clear, there would be no fish. Jia Rong didn't care so much. When you are strong, many people will naturally rush to go.
The wall fell and everyone pushed. As long as these officials were capable enough, Jia Rong would not begrudge the official positions in their hands. After appeasing them, he asked them to wait for the opportunity. After Jinyang was besieged, these people would immediately surface.
Zhao Yun did not besiege the city, but was stationed outside the city, closely monitoring the movements of the defenders in the city. Duan Yan's cavalry team was estimated to be the majority of the entire Bingzhou Army's cavalry. It is thought that Li Ru's financial resources could not support too many cavalry, and Zhao Yun's
The containment effect greatly eased the pressure on the Xiliang Army to a certain extent. In terms of field battles, even 20,000 Xiliang troops would dare to defeat a hundred thousand Bingzhou troops. However, siege warfare is different. Even if it cannot be surrounded by ten,
At the very least, it must be equivalent to the number of troops in the city.
Zhou Yan surrendered and Gengyang City was lost. Li Ru panicked completely and mobilized all the garrison troops from surrounding counties to Jinyang City. The Xiliang Army was in a last-ditch attitude and the Bingzhou Army in Jingling City was unable to rush to rescue.
, Li Ru was also a little helpless, even the defenders from nearby counties were rushing to Jinyang slowly, hoping that the Xiliang army could rush to Jinyang quickly, and the county magistrates and governors could blatantly defect to the Xiliang army.
On the day the army arrived at Jinyang City, Jia Rong invited Li Ru to meet him.
The captains of both sides each led two guards to meet in the open space where the army had moved.
Seeing Li Ru's haggard appearance, Jia Rong was slightly surprised. He had not seen him for several years. Li Ru seemed to have aged more than ten years, but there was still light flowing in his eyes from time to time, which made people dare not ignore it.
Going out of the city alone to meet him was already considered very courageous. After all, Li Ru was a scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken.
"Master Li, you are polite!" Jia Rong said proudly.
Li Ru stared at Jia Rong with burning eyes and said: "At the beginning, I respected you as a general and took refuge with you. I didn't expect that you were the murderer of Duke Dong. If you don't avenge this revenge, we will live together!"
"Hahahaha, betrayal is betrayal. Why are there so many rhetorics? People are two-skinned. No matter what they say, they are all reasonable. Besides, you have not planned to merge with the state overnight. This time you lead the army here, and you will definitely make sacrifices for the dead Xiliang army.
Athletes pay the price!" The smile on Jia Rong's face turned to anger. Thirty thousand good men were plotted by Li Ru. The hatred in his heart can be imagined. But fortunately, these soldiers are still there, and the background is still there, but Li Ru
They didn't dare to use these soldiers to charge into the battlefield, because when the soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw Jia Rong, they might do something radical and rebel to the death.
Li Ruyin said in a gloomy tone: "Jinyang City is well-prepared for its troops. Let alone an army of 70,000, or an army of 100,000, we cannot even hope to capture it!"
"When you and I meet today, we are not talking about these boring things. We haven't seen each other for many years. I just want to take a look at Li Wenyou before the army attacks the city." Jia Rong suddenly sighed: "You and I can run rampant in the world if we join forces.
Without what happened at the beginning, I am afraid that the Xiliang army would have already conquered the Central Plains, and you would also be famous in history. Why is it like this, Wenyou."
"I think back then I was just a small military commander under Dong Gong's account, with only a few hundred soldiers in my hands. How could I have achieved what I have now? I miss those days when I fought side by side with Wen You. I remember that I
The most fearful thing is Wenyou's eyes, which seem to be able to see through anything in the world."
Following Jia Rong's words, Li Ru seemed to have returned to the scenes of fighting the Qiang people. Jia Rong was always able to make some admirable actions at critical moments, and the burning of the Yellow Turban also made his reputation reach the level of
He reached the peak and was reused by Dong Zhuo.
"Wen You, stop it. You are no match for the Xiliang Army, and this general is not from this era. You have been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for so long, and you are the first person to know about this."
Li Ru was shocked: "You are not from this era?"
"To be honest, Wenyou, I come from the future world, and the weapons of that era are beyond your imagination. Having said that, I hope Wenyou will give it some thought."
"On the battlefield, this general will never show mercy!" After Jia Rong finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a dull-looking Li Ru.
Teams of cavalry are standing ready. Five thousand cavalry will take turns filling in the moat, and thunderbolt chariots are also gathered.
Li Ru is not like Xu Rong, Fan Chou and others. He has countless strategies in his mind. He is definitely not careless. The defense in the city must be as strong as an iron barrel. This is a tough battle that must be fought.
After receiving the information about Bingzhou, all the princes in the world were afraid of the Xiliang Army. At the same time, they all believed that Bingzhou was on the road to destruction. They also secretly warned themselves in their hearts that they would make friends with the Xiliang Army. With such strength, looking at the world, they would definitely
It's top notch.
"Not from this era? What do you mean? What other future world is there? Could it be that Jia Rong wants to confuse me on purpose?" After returning to the city, countless questions flashed through Li Ru's mind, none of which could be answered.
"Do you know what people in the future world are?" Li Ru said slowly.
The officials and generals under his command all shook their heads, not knowing that they had never heard of the term "future world".
"Future? Future?" Li Ru was shocked. "Could it be that Jia Rong comes from the future, a world that has not yet happened? In that case, wouldn't he know everything we do?"
In Bingzhou, there were only two cities that did not fall into the hands of the Xiliang army, Jingling City and Jinyang City. The other prefectures and magistrates from various places came to seek refuge. The Xiliang Army naturally sent soldiers to garrison. Some magistrates wanted to resist because they wanted to.
However, he was killed by the soldiers of the Xiliang Army in the past and surrendered to the Xiliang Army. In some counties, the people even rioted and directly killed the county magistrate.
Just by surrounding Jinyang City, this effect was achieved, which made Jia Rong very satisfied.
Yan Liang frowned. Wei Lan seemed to be able to sense his movements in advance. The methods used to deal with the Youzhou Army in the past were completely ineffective, and the war became a stalemate. Since the last time Wei Lan led the cavalry out of the city to fight, he defeated the Jizhou Cavalry.
After that, Weilan stayed in the city, and without the support of sufficient troops, Yan Liang did not dare to launch an attack rashly.
Yuan Shao used Zhuo County as a springboard to launch an attack on Guangyang County. After Gongsun Zan, the state governance of Youzhou was transferred to Yuyang County. When Gongsun Zan was defeated and left Ji County, the state governance was almost destroyed.
But Jixian County was once the state government of Youzhou. There was a moat outside the city and there were many arrow towers on the city walls. Youzhou was almost in chaos and war. The city has been repaired. Whether it is a county seat or a county city, the city walls are not comparable to those of inland counties.
Moreover, due to the strong people's morale, Yuan Shao attacked Jixian County and paid the price of nearly 5,000 soldiers.
The person stationed in Jixian County was Xian Yufu of Youzhou. He was originally from Wuhuan. He served under Liu Yu's tent and learned Chinese, so he was highly valued by Liu Yu. Yan Rou's rise in the army became a big help to him, and he is now Youzhou.
Don't leave the state. As for Liu He, after he arrived in Youzhou, he was completely like a puppet. But this puppet was different from the Han Emperor. He had full rights of action and no one would monitor him. Moreover, his words would be listened to. In power,
Under the influence of Yan Rou, she has forgotten the purpose of raising the army in the first place, and regards Youzhou as belonging to the Yan family.
Xian Yufu led his army out of the city. In front of the formation, the two armies scolded Yuan Shao for being unkind and unjust. He was ashamed to be the leader of the alliance. After a small fight, both sides stopped their troops.
Wei Lan is from Wuhuan, but he looks relatively frail, with a hint of Confucian temperament. If his generals had not seen this man's bloody side on the battlefield, they might have been deceived by his appearance. In Guangyang
Xian Yufu of the county was also from Wuhuan, so he naturally did not have the same thoughts about Weilan as other officials in Youzhou, but regarded Weilan as one of his own in his heart.
"Yan Liangjun invited our army to fight many times, but failed to win every time. As the morale of the army is expected to be low, I want to lead the army to sneak attack on the camp. What do you think?" Weiland said.
The lieutenant general hurriedly advised: "General Weilan, you must not do this. Yan Liang is a lieutenant general in Yuan Shao's army. He is quite strategic. How could he not be on guard? Baima Yicong, who was famous at the frontier, was defeated at the hands of Yan Liang."
"Hmph, don't I know about this? Yan Liang's ability to defeat Baima Yicong is mostly due to the efforts of the Euphorbia warriors. Yan Liang is just a reckless man. Why worry about it? I have made up my mind. You don't have to
I urge you to arrange for the soldiers to go down to rest, and not to reveal any information." Half of the generals in the tent are Wuhuan people, and they are all Weilan's confidants.
At the second watch, the Youzhou army in the city had finished eating. Under the general's strict order, they were waiting quietly. For this meal, they had meals that they could not usually eat. The old soldiers in the team also
Somewhat clearly, I am afraid that a big battle is going to happen this time. As a soldier, they have long expected that this day will come. Soldiers rush to the battlefield. If they cannot stand out, they can only become a pile of bones and be lost in history.
Turned into a pile of loess without leaving any trace, this is also life. Many people with great talent and wisdom are still lost in history, let alone ordinary people.
Weilan, who was dressed in armor, after allocating the tasks to the various soldiers in the camp, walked up to the army, waved his sword in his hand, and the soldiers started to move under the leadership of the general.
