Chapter Five Forty Five: Examination and Assignment
It’s Chinese New Year, and today’s three chapters are to send New Year greetings to all readers.
Ma Teng and Yan Xing had a thousand cavalry, which caused a lot of trouble for the Jizhou army. No matter what moves Tian Feng used, he could not stop the galloping horses. He could only watch the cavalry arrive and leave in a show of force.
If things go on like this, morale will be low, and the generals who dare to take on the task of transporting food will be afraid.
"I'm willing to go with my humble position!" Shen Pei said with a hand in hand, his tone full of confidence. Shen Pei expected nothing wrong in the Xiliang Army, because Jia Rong's identity was there, it would not embarrass a small person, and he believed in his approval quota.
Can convince Jia Rong that the war between the two armies will consume huge amounts of food, grass and soldiers, and Jia Rong has another biggest enemy, Cao Cao, and Jizhou also has a grudge against Cao Cao. If the two families unite, for Jia Rong
There is an extremely huge temptation.
Jushu's lessons learned from the past have made many counselors want to retreat. Jia Rong is a military general, and in the eyes of literati, he is a reckless person. Who knows what extraordinary actions they will make, and they will die in his hands, and there is no room for justification.
, Moreover, Jia Rong will not follow common sense, and if he is not careful, he will end up with his body and head in a different place.
Yuan Shao said: "Okay!"
Shen Pei led more than a hundred soldiers to the Xiliang Army. There was no fear on his face, but many counselors of the Jizhou Army secretly applauded him. With such courage, Shen Pei is still a character, even if he went to the Xiliang Army
It was also Jia Rong's fault that he was criticized.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Master Shen, thank you for your hard work coming from afar!"
Shen Pei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, General. I am just a lowly person with a humble position. I came to the Xiliang Army for the sake of the two families."
"What a humble man. If our Xiliang army has so many humble men, why worry that Youzhou and even the whole world cannot be pacified!"
Seeing that Jia Rong spoke highly of himself, Shen Pei felt happy for no reason. Thinking of the mission this time, Shen Pei cupped his hands and said: "General, my lord thinks that the people are unbearable for continuous battles, and hopes that the two sides can just stop it."
Soldier!"
"Today we won't talk about military affairs, only other things." Jia Rong said.
A gloomy look flashed across Shen Pei's face, knowing that today's matter would be difficult to complete smoothly. Judging from Jia Rong's tone, it was clear that he did not want to reconcile with the Jizhou Army, but since he could accept such treatment, it meant that Jia Rong did not
It's not as arrogant as the rumors say. Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, so there is no chance.
"Master Shen must have never seen the soldiers of the Xiliang Army during training? Why don't you go to the army and have a look!" Jia Rong invited.
"Order the army to prepare good meals to entertain Mr. Shen." Jia Rong turned around and warned.
Shen Pei is looking forward to it. If he can discover something through the training of Xiliang soldiers, it will be of great benefit to the Jizhou Army.
After seeing the appearance of the Xiliang Army, Shen Pei was secretly shocked. People said that the Xiliang Army was brave, and it was indeed well-deserved. From the faces of each soldier, he saw a strong fighting spirit and determination not to give up. The soldiers of Jizhou
Although there are many, they do not have such a mental outlook. When the soldiers are training, there is no shouting, and the firm steps shake people's hearts. Each move, although simple, gives people an invincible feeling. No wonder the Xiliang Army can
He has won many battles and won many battles. With such an army, no one in the world can defeat him.
"The Xiliang army is indeed majestic!" Shen Pei couldn't help but praise.
Jia Rong pointed not far away and said: "That's where the Xiliang army stores food and grass!"
Shenpei looked in the direction of Jia Rong's finger, but saw that the grain and grass were piled up like a mountain, and he couldn't see the end as far as the eye could see. His face was slightly bitter. He thought that the Xiliang army was also short of food and grass, and he could use this as an excuse to make the Xiliang army retreat.
, Unexpectedly, they have enough troops and food, and the Xiliang army only has 10,000 people, which is far less than the food and grass consumption of the Jizhou army.
The only breakthrough may be the people. It has been said that Jia Rong treated the people like his sons and the people under his rule surrendered. On the grounds that the people in Jizhou were overwhelmed, it was expected that Jia Rong would have some scruples. When Jia Rong was in Luoyang, Shui
The theory of Zhou is spreading all over the world.
"General, the Xiliang army is very strong, and the Jizhou army is also a tiger and wolf army. When the two sides fight, the people at the bottom suffer. Why not stop the army and make peace with it!" Shen Pei took the opportunity to persuade.
Guo Jia said on the side: "Master Shen, the people of Jizhou cannot bear Yuan Shao's heavy taxes, but the taxes of the people under the rule of the Xiliang Army are extremely low. What's more, the people of Jizhou have returned to Yuan Shao, what does it have to do with my lord."
The judge's mouth was filled with bitterness, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "It's really hard for Master Shen to come all the way. Zhang Xiu, please arrange Master Shen properly and don't neglect your distinguished guest!"
Shen Pei said: "Thank you, General!"
After Shen Pei left, Jia Rong kept weighing the pros and cons. The Xiliang Army sent troops to Youzhou and took in the Wuhuan general Wei Lan. He should have marched into Youzhou in one fell swoop. It would be better to regain the great territory of Youzhou under the rule of the Xiliang Army.
Now Cao Cao is an out-and-out overlord in the Central Plains. If the Xiliang Army cannot keep up, the consequences will be self-evident. The two sides have reached a strategic alliance, but sooner or later there will be a war, which is inevitable. Jia Rong does not want to do it because of
However, they lost to Cao Jun because of the fertile land in the Central Plains. After a short period of recuperation, the people could reach the point where the Xiliang army had to make great efforts.
He felt extremely disappointed when he was served a good meal by Shen Pei. Seeing Jia Rong enjoying the meal, Shen Pei felt that Jia Rong had become very strange at this moment. From the perspective of the princes, this good meal was not at all
You can't go to an elegant hall, just a few simple dishes of meat and vegetables, not even fine wine, there is no image of eating and drinking, and the judge is shaking his head.
"Wen He, the Jizhou Army wants to compromise with our army, what do you think?"
Jia Xu said: "My lord's concern is that Yuan Shao's army in Jizhou is strong and difficult to provoke, but our army can take the opportunity to attack Youzhou after agreeing to it. Does my lord care what the people in the world think of the Xiliang army?"
"
"The Jizhou army is strong, but there is not much food and grass. Especially our cavalry wandering behind them is enough to firmly choke their food routes. How can Yuan Shao not be in a hurry? What the lord has to do at this time is to calm down and let
The Jizhou army was in disarray, and then they had a chance."
Jia Rong nodded slightly. What Jia Xu said was not unreasonable. As for the great righteousness, it is not very applicable to Jia Rong. It comes from the future. He may only believe in the successful kings and the defeated bandits. Thinking about how brave Xiang Yu was back then, sweeping across
In the world, the Overlord of Western Chu was defeated by Liu Bang. The records about Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in the history books naturally tend to be towards the latter. He ruled the Han Dynasty for nearly four hundred years. How many favorable comments about Xiang Yu can exist?
, when something that is not true becomes true after being circulated for hundreds of years.
"Wen He, I feel a little tired recently. I want to return to Chang'an. I will leave the matter of Youzhou to you, okay?"
Jia Xu glanced at Jia Rong in surprise, cupped his hands and said, "My lord is the leader of the three armies. We have been fighting for half a year. Now is the critical moment. We must not give up halfway. I hope my lord will focus on the army."
"You and Feng Xiao and others are discussing how to negotiate peace with the Jizhou Army. It is best to take Shanggu County of Guangyang County from the hands of the Jizhou Army and become a springboard for our army to dominate Youzhou." Jia Rong said firmly.
Jia Xu also said that Jia Rong didn't want to break his promise in front of the people of the world, so he nodded and agreed. There was no other way. When a person is in a high position, the first thing he thinks about is his reputation. In the past, Jia Rong was a rough military commander and would not care about such a problem.
Many, but after becoming a great general and ruling the territory of Liangzhou and Chang'an, of course he had to consider these issues, but Jia Xu didn't care so much. If he really found someone who appreciated his talents, what would happen even if he had to go through fire and water.
"Wen He, you are indispensable for the Xiliang Army to be able to reach this point. At that time, the Xiliang Army only had a few thousand soldiers and only a few generals. After many years of fighting, we have reached the current situation. You can be said to be the one I trust the most.
people."
A warm current flowed through Jia Xu's heart. Although he knew some things, saying them out would make his subordinates feel more comfortable and more motivated.
"My lord, Xu Ding will do his best to recapture Youzhou so that my lord will have no worries."
Youzhou and Bingzhou border, and Yan Rou's relationship with the Xiliang Army is not very good. Otherwise, he would not have participated when the princes attacked Hangu Pass. Such unstable factors will become a problem for the Xiliang Army in the future.
Constraints, no one wants to consider the rear affairs at a critical moment, just like Cao Cao, because the Han Emperor in the palace had to deploy a large number of soldiers and horses in the city to prevent the ministers from mutiny. Although the death of the Han Emperor was to a certain extent
The internal troubles were alleviated, but the remaining power of the officials in the DPRK and China still remained, and there were not a few who secretly contacted other princes.
"Wen He, go back first and tell me if you need anything."
Jia Xu said goodbye and left. He looked at the sunset outside the camp with a smile on his face. A guard next to him couldn't help but feel a chill. Jia Xu's status in the Xiliang army was not improved because of Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao and others.
Even if he made mistakes, he was still a superior military advisor in the Xiliang army. This was Jia Rong's trust and the power he had accumulated over the years.
Three days later, Shen Pei could not sit still and asked to see Jia Rong again, but it was Jia Xu who met him.
"Why are you so anxious, Mr. Shen?" Jia Xu said calmly.
Shen Pei looked at Jia Xu, his superior, and did not dare to have any contempt in his heart. Anyone who could have a place in the Xiliang army was an extraordinary person. He did not want to offend Jia Rong because of a general or counselor.
After all, Jushou is still in the Xiliang army.
"My lord, you are joking. There are tens of thousands of people in the army, and they consume countless amounts of food and grass every day. It is a heavy burden for the people..."
Jia Xu interrupted Shen Pei's words, "That is the matter of the Jizhou Army. What does it have to do with the Xiliang Army? Our army upholds righteousness and the people under our command live and work in peace and contentment. The sergeants and soldiers of the army are willing to sacrifice their lives for the war and march forward bravely. It is only a matter of time to wipe out Youzhou."
, As Master Shen said, if a large army is sent out, consumes countless amounts of food and grass, and returns without success, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies.”
