However, within half a month, the Xiliang army changed its strategy and directly occupied the two counties of Shanggu and Guangyang. This shows Jia Xu's methods. It is said that Yuan Shao has deployed layers of troops in Guangyang County. No matter how powerful Jia Xu is,
It was impossible to occupy it in half a month, but he did it. Everyone in the Xiliang army was not impressed by this. In a matter of seconds, Jia Xu's position in the Xiliang army has been shaken.
The land under the control of the Xiliang Army expanded to two states, three counties and one Chang'an. Compared with its heyday, it once again increased a lot. After the Battle of Hangu Pass, the Xiliang Army gradually showed its sharp fangs.
.
Standing still and restoring people's production was the last order given by Jia Rong. Yan Rou had been operating in Youzhou for several years. Jia Rong did not want to have a situation where the soldiers were exhausted because of fighting with him. With the three counties of Youzhou and Wu
With the support of the Huan people, it is only a matter of time to pacify Youzhou, and there is no rush. However, even if Yan Rou and Yuan Shao are unwilling, it will be even more difficult to seize the three counties from the Xiliang army.
Naturally, the changes in Youzhou did not go unnoticed by Yan Rou. In a hurry, he dispatched a large army at the border of Yuyang County, fearing that the Xiliang Army would take the opportunity to capture Youzhou. In these battles, the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army have been fighting on the border.
Fighting, and Weilan in Daijun didn't know what happened to him. Yan Rou couldn't believe such a foreigner, not to mention that the Xiliang army had already captured Guangyang County and Shanggu County. The outcome of Daijun can be imagined, faintly
There are rumors that Weilan has defected to the Xiliang army.
What Yan Rou is thinking about now is how to find an ally. When the princes gathered to form an alliance, he and Liu Bei got along quite well, but now that Liu Bei is in the Central Plains and has been beaten into obscurity by Cao Cao, there is no time to take care of him. Other than that,
Other than that, there are only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao had openly attacked Youzhou before, and Yan Rou didn't have any good impressions of him, let alone Cao Cao. On the way of the army's retreat, there was no shame in attacking each other with Liu Bei.
"General, the general has not come with his army, why are you so worried? If you are not at ease, why not send someone to test it out." The counselor said.
Yan Rou let out a long sigh and said: "The Xiliang army took Guangyang County and Shanggu County with thunderous force, which are adjacent to our army. Judging from Jia Rong's past style of doing things, the two armies will have a battle sooner or later. No matter what,
If we had prepared in advance.”
The counselor nodded in agreement, but he had no good plan.[
Liu He was in Youzhou, but he didn't feel any sense of crisis, even when Yuan Shao's army was approaching. When Yan Rou sent people to the Han Emperor to tell him that he wanted to go back and serve as the shepherd of Youzhou, he was very happy.
, I didn’t expect that it would be like this after I came back. Youzhou was almost Yan Rou’s talk house. Thinking of the Han Emperor’s words before leaving, I was filled with a sense of loss. Over time, I was immersed in a wealthy life.
Accompanying her everywhere, with beautiful maids and maids by her side, her life is quite relaxed, as if she has entrusted everything in Youzhou to Yan Rou, no matter what.
After Xian Yufu failed to defend Guangyang County, he returned to Zhongxian County to guard against the Jizhou Army. Xian Yufu did not do as much as Yan Rou thought. The reason why Xiliang Army sent troops was not because Yan Rou sent people to invite them, but now he actually wanted to defend against it.
Or maybe it's a battle, wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread the word.
After receiving Yan Rou's order, Xian Yufu was quite dissatisfied.
Jia Rong left his troops to guard the three counties of Bingzhou and Youzhou, and returned to Chang'an. After leaving for half a year, Chang'an has changed a lot. A stable Chang'an is what many businessmen are happy to see. They have places to spend their money and places to spend their money.
People are making money, coming and going in an endless stream. In Chang'an City, there is no atmosphere of "chaotic" times at all. It seems to be a peaceful and prosperous age.
The common people, merchants, officials and soldiers walking on the streets have a spiritual outlook that few can match in the whole world. Officials are paid well, and soldiers are very popular among the people. As for the people, they have work to do, don't have to worry about food and drink, and can even
Save some money for household expenses, live a prosperous life, be full of energy, and the bustling city of Chang'an is full of vitality.
Jia Rong refused to go out of the city to greet the officials in the city and walked into Chang'an in an ordinary carriage.
The loving wife and son at home make him feel warm and enjoy the happiness of family.
Mi Huan, Cai Yan, Wei Fu, Cai Lingxiu'er heard that Jia Rong was back, and they all got together. Jia Rong was going out to fight. This was the thing that most affected the hearts of these women. On the battlefield, swords and guns, in their hearts they didn't miss Jia Rong.
Going to the battlefield.
After comforting his five beautiful wives with kind words, Jia Rong ordered his servants to serve wine and food. In the military, drinking is strictly prohibited. Although Jia Rong has some privileges, it is not good to go there with a shy face every time.
It's against the law, and the food in the army is not very good. There is no such variety as Chang'an.
In his spare time, Jia Rong began to think about the development route of the Xiliang Army. There is no doubt that the Xiliang Army has elite troops.
The enemy has a raging army and a den of generals. The quality of the officers is infinitely better than that of the princes of the Central Plains. After being trained by the academy, not to mention that everyone is a good fighter, there is still no problem in dealing with ordinary wars.
Just like before, they would lead people to kill at every turn, regardless of the life and death of the lower-level soldiers. Moreover, the Xiliang Army's battle requires generals to learn to command, not to rush to kill. After the main general is killed, there will be deputy generals, one level at a time.
Decreasing, this model can, to a certain extent, allow the army to stay on the battlefield without collapsing, and will not lead to the death of the commander and the collapse of the entire army.
Economically, the support of Xianlian Pavilion is already slightly insufficient. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops to support, and the daily expenses and salaries are very large. Especially this year, the Xiliang Army launched a war for more than half a year.
During the war, the warehouse became empty, and we could not make ends meet every day. We relied on the power of the Mi family and the Wei family to stabilize the situation. We originally expected to be able to support the war for one year, but we did not expect that the consumption of the war was too huge, and we had to stop it.
The idea of completely occupying Youzhou.
Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of money. Yes, it was RMB. He had exchanged ten RMB for the Qingzhi Sword.
, except for gold and five baht coins. Five baht coins are too heavy and extremely inconvenient to carry. There are also some items that are bartered. You can exchange the things you like with items of equal value. This method is used when the city is besieged.
It was very applicable at that time, after all, I had money and couldn’t spend it at that time.
Now the Xiliang army has occupied Chang'an, two counties, three counties of Youzhou and three cities on the grassland. There are countless merchants trading with them. The daily tax alone is a huge amount. They come to Chang'an to do business.
Jia Rong will definitely not allow merchants to make so much money for nothing. When entering the city, taxes must be paid according to the items.
After the issuance of banknotes, it became easier for merchants to carry them, and it became much easier for people to go shopping on the streets. They no longer had to carry a bag of grain or a load of firewood when going down the street.
As the owner of the banknotes, the profits for the Xiliang Army will also be huge. They can use their spare money to buy grain, iron and other materials, then process them into weapons in the craftsman's workshop, sell them to merchants, and earn the price difference.
It's not as simple as one plus one equals two. Money will definitely make money faster, and after this economic model is fixed, the profits will be even greater. The businessmen who flock to it will make the Xiliang army not because of
Due to the war, there was a lack of food and grass.[
Just as he said, Jia Rong summoned two brothers, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li, to discuss the issuance of banknotes by the Xiliang Army. Even with Zhang Zhao's calmness, after hearing this plan, he couldn't help but praise the plan.
Issuing banknotes is a shocking move. If successful, the issuer will have a name in history and be remembered by future generations.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li took over the task of banknotes and were responsible for the specific affairs of the production and issuance of banknotes.
Seeing that the Xiliang Army had no intention of fighting and stood still, Yan Rou was completely relieved and continued to develop Youzhou's strength. At this time, he did not know that Weilan had chosen to join the Xiliang Army and that the Wuhuan people under his command might become
He is a traitor in the face of battle, but rumors about Weilan have already spread in Youzhou.
Jia Xu found Weilan and ordered him to secretly send a message to Yan Rou, saying that he needed the support of a large army. He expected that Yan Rou would not have any doubts. Then with the help of the Wuhuan people, the Xiliang army might be able to defeat him in one battle.
At the end of the war, troops were sent to Youbeiping. At this time, Yan Rou only had the land of two counties. After losing Youbeiping, she became isolated in a corner. With one county to support tens of thousands of troops, how could she be invincible?
Reason, Jia Xu just wants Yan Rou to completely lose the qualification to fight for hegemony in the world, withdraw from the stage of history, and make the world one less prince.
The current situation is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the strength of the Xiliang Army far exceeds that of the Qin Dynasty back then. The possibility of unifying the world has become extremely high.
Jia Rong returned to Chang'an, but Jia Xu had a strong fighting spirit. For Jia Rong's great cause, no matter how much he paid, he would not hesitate. The Xiliang army in Guangyang County only had more than 10,000 people. Jia Xu's
It is these ten thousand people who rely on it.
Sure enough, after receiving Weilan's letter asking for help, Yan Rou just questioned it and sent a large army to finally respond. In any case, Weilan is a general of the Youzhou Army and has high prestige among the Wuhuan people.
, his return will make the Wuhuan people feel more at home.
In his letter, Weilan also belittled the Xiliang army, saying that they were occupying the city as reinforcements and not returning them, which actually won him a lot of favor from Yan Rou.
Of course, the army that finally responded was composed of Wuhuan people. Now Yan Rou has 50,000 troops and horses, and more than 10,000 people are Wuhuan people. Even if he doesn't want to send Wuhuan people, there is nothing he can do.
After arriving, Wei Lan secretly contacted the Wuhuan people in the city, secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and finally fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army. Most of the Youzhou Army defending the city surrendered, and only a few fled back to Yan Rou in embarrassment.
After this battle, the number of Youzhou troops surrendered reached 20,000, and Yan Rou's strength plummeted.
It’s the New Year. Whether you have money or not, you can go home to celebrate the New Year. If you really can’t come back from other places, remember to call your family and wish everyone a happy New Year!
