Jia Xu bowed his head and said yes. After these changes, Guo Da's influence in the Yuzhou army has become even smaller. As a state pastor of a state, he has great power. If he has an army again, he will become
Due to the constraints of the imperial court, and the elite soldiers in the army entering the standing army, it means that Guo Da has lost military power. After these soldiers enter the standing army, they are not something Guo Da can mobilize. Their loyalty will only be to Jia Rong and Liang Guo.
Rather than being an important member of the party.
"Zhao Yun, Guo Da and others have meritorious service and should be rewarded."
"Wen He, from now on it's okay to salute in public, but behind the scenes we can just meet as ordinary friends."
Jia Rong's words moved Jia Xu again. Jia Rong is now the Holy Emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Plan. It is enough for a minister to reach such a status in this life.
After the capture of Nanyang County, the Xiliang Army seemed to have stopped moving. This also reassured Guan Yu in Jiangling City and Wei Yan in Nan County. The battle in Nanyang County spread quickly throughout Jingzhou that day, and the Xiliang Army was strong again.
Once touched the Jingzhou family, Cao's army was already very elite, but they seemed a little weak in front of the Xiliang army. Although this time the Xiliang army bullied the few with more, but the lone wolf soldiers who actually dispatched were to a certain extent.
The situation on the battlefield has changed, with corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood flowing. The level of cruelty cannot be described in detail with these eight words.
The decisive battle between the two armies in the wilderness was very cruel. It was a real fight to the death, relying on one's own strength, without any bells and whistles.
After Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou put aside the matter regarding Nanyang County, he began to plot major events in Yizhou. As expected, Liu Yan would die within a month, and Liu Zhang had just inherited his father's business and was not able to convince the public, and
Zhang Lu himself has good abilities. Under the instigation of Yizhou officials and aristocratic families, war will definitely break out, and Liu Zhang will also ask Liu Bei for help. Then it will be the best time to capture Yizhou in one fell swoop.
Cao Jun attached great importance to Dongjun. He personally led 30,000 troops to move closer to Dongjun, causing the Xiliang army to retreat ten miles and set up camp to temporarily avoid the enemy. Cao Cao has been fighting all over the world for many years and has mastered the art of war and strategy. He can fight against such an enemy.
, even the veteran Huang Zhong did not have enough confidence, so he had to temporarily avoid his edge. The order Jia Rong gave to Huang Zhong was just to contain Cao Jun so that they had no time to take care of Yuzhou. After Yuzhou was stabilized, Xiliang's army could use all its strength to deal with it.
During the time of Cao Cao.
After retreating ten miles, the morale of Cao's army was greatly shaken. After all, the Xiliang army did not launch any attacks outside Dongjun City, but there were strong generals and counselors in the city who made Dongjun watertight.
However, Cao Cao was not so arrogant that he led 30,000 soldiers and horses to pursue the Xiliang army. The 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao were all elite.
The lieutenants in the army were a little confused about Huang Zhong's military orders, but they still carried them out to the letter. In the eyes of the officers and men, the Xiliang sergeants were invincible, and it was common for one to be equal to ten. Even if Cao Cao led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses,
, we should have tried our best to move forward, but Huang Zhong chose to retreat.
Ma Chao naturally had a lot of slander about this, so he could only vent in secret. If he said anything publicly, Huang Zhong would inevitably be accused of shaking the morale of the army.
Nanyang County has settled down, but the undercurrent in Jingzhou is still not over. The majesty of the Xiliang army is more than twice as powerful as Cao's army. Many aristocratic families in Jingzhou have also begun to wake up from their dreams and think about their future.
Within the month, a large number of aristocratic families visited the Cai family. For a time, the Cai family became the most influential people in Jingzhou. They were relatives of the emperor of the Liang Kingdom. Liu Bei also secretly ordered people to keep an eye on the Cai family.
Every move is related to the safety of Jingzhou, so we must pay attention to it.
"I would like to report to Your Majesty that Zhang Song, the envoy from Yizhou, has arrived in the city and is requesting an audience."
Jia Rong nodded slightly. It was reasonable for Zhang Song to come to Luoyang. Even Liu Bei could get the news that Liu Yan was critically ill. How could he not know that Zhang Song came to Luoyang just to find a way out. That day, Jia Rong entertained Zhang grandly in Chang'an.
Zhang Song was not discriminated against because of his appearance. I believe Zhang Song will be pleasantly surprised when he comes here this time.
"Well, I already know about this and have ordered Zhang Song to enter the palace tomorrow." Jia Rong said calmly.
Just as Jia Rong thought, the current situation in Yizhou can be described as rotten. The land of Yizhou is indeed prosperous, and there is no shortage of talents. However, just like the Central Plains, there are many aristocratic families, even holding great power. Liu Yanzai
At that time, he was able to suppress one or two people, but when they let go, how could Liu Zhang convince the people? Moreover, Zhang Song was not reused by Liu Zhang. Yizhou officials often judge people by their appearance. Zhang Song's strange appearance became a roadblock for him to move forward.
An insurmountable mountain, but these cannot conceal Zhang Song's talent. Whether it is eloquence or strategy, Zhang Song is good.
In the inn, Zhang Song couldn't sleep for a long time. He touched something close to his body and felt a little more at ease. This would be his stepping stone into the Xiliang Army. As for Liu Yan and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, they would be no different from him.
Guess, before coming here, things at home have been taken care of. I believe that my family has arrived in Chang'an by now. Under the protection of the Xiliang Army, my family is very safe and there is no need to worry.
"Power, I must have power, so that those Yizhou officials who used to laugh at me can only admire me, and the Zhang family in Yizhou will become more glorious because of my status." Zhang Song secretly thought.
With the geographical map of Xichuan and Dongchuan, Zhang Song was granted a medium-sized official position and temporarily lived in Luoyang City. The two maps are naturally not as detailed as those of Xiliang Army, but they are better than Yizhou.
The distribution of the defenders and the number of troops in each city played a vital role in the Xiliang army's attack on Yizhou.
"Take Yizhou?" Jia Xu asked in shock: "Your Majesty, Yizhou is the land of abundance. In the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty used this place as his foundation to strive for world hegemony. Liu Yan also had this idea at the beginning, but it was just the land of Yizhou.
Most of them are pass, which is not good for cavalry to attack the city. I hope your Majesty will consider it carefully."
"Don't think too much, this matter will be left to the Ministry of War. Once the food and grass expenditures are met, apply to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and dispatch troops and horses. You can take care of it yourself. Finally, just show it to me." Jia Rong waved his hand and signaled.
Jia Xu left.
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then bowed and left the palace.
Jia Rong's orders were too simple. In the past, whenever the Xiliang army was at war, Jia Rong would be involved in the specific planning. Unexpectedly, now he would hand over everything to officials in the court, delegating power in such a way.
, it can be said that he is broad-minded, and Jia Xu does not think that Jia Rong is lazy at all. When an official in the court is entrusted with an important task, it means how much the Holy Emperor values him, which many people cannot ask for.
Taking Yizhou is of great importance, not to mention that the Xiliang army has troops in Jingzhou to confront Liu Bei in Jingzhou, and there are troops in Dongjun to confront Cao Jun. If they attack Yizhou again, it will open up three battlefields.
No matter how strong the Xiliang Army's foundation is, it may not be able to support it.
Yizhou Liu Yan died of illness half a month later. This Han clan clan member who saw the emperor's aura in Yizhou failed to become the emperor in the end. He was even worse than Liu Biao. At least Liu Biao participated in the battle.
The Xiliang army fought, but Liu Yan always stood firm.
After Yizhou mourned, in accordance with Liu Yan's order, he respected Liu Yan as the new master of Yizhou, the King of Hanzhong. In fact, Liu Yan, the king of Hanzhong, had the idea of taking Hanzhong into his hands, but everything was complicated, Liu Yan
We didn't have the courage to cut through the mess with a quick sword, so we delayed it again and again, and we ended up in the current situation.
Yizhou is one of the three largest prefectures and counties in the world. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Yizhou is captured, it is equivalent to having a large base. The Emperor of Qin was able to unify the world back then, and it is not without Yizhou's contribution.
Moreover, Liu Zhang had just succeeded to the throne and it was difficult to win the trust of officials and courtiers in a short period of time. There were many intrigues and intrigues. It was this opportunity that allowed the Xiliang army to enter Yizhou. Otherwise, it would be difficult to attack Liu Zhang when he regained his composure.
Entered.
At this time, Huang Zhong of Dongjun was in a bit of an awkward situation. After all, there were 80,000 troops in the city, but he only had 40,000. Although he dared to challenge Cao Jun, Cao Jun ignored him and said, "I will defend the city and see what you can do."
What to do, but the consumption of the 80,000-strong army is not a small amount, and there are many Xiliang cavalry invading the rear, which is very annoying.
Finally, Cao Cao decided to fight Huang Zhong. The two sides agreed on the location of the decisive battle and began to prepare for the war.
After Huang Zhong received Cao Cao's letter of challenge, he didn't feel strange and agreed. The Xiliang Army is not a weakling who can be pinched by anyone. What's wrong with 80,000 people? It's 100,000 people. Huang Zhong
They dare to fight, have high morale, follow orders and prohibitions, and train well. If such soldiers cannot win, it means that Cao's army is too brave.
The weather was a bit gloomy, and it seemed that the sky also felt the fighting spirit of the armies of both sides. The strong wind kept blowing, picking up dust and leaves, flying all over the sky.
Nothing can stop the two armies from fighting.
Huang Zhong dispatched 30,000 troops, Cao Jun dispatched 50,000 troops, and the battlefield of nearly 100,000 troops was truly shocking.
With the flags waving, the Xiliang army marched forward in an orderly manner. At the front were soldiers holding huge shields, with bright spears in their hands, ready to devour the enemy at any time.
After the shield soldiers came the archers, and after the archers came the real backbone of the battle. Yes, Huang Zhong wanted to defend with shield soldiers, then harass with archers, then use heavy infantry to charge forward, and the cavalry stayed on the left and right wings of the army.
, stand ready to fight, as long as there is an opportunity, immediately go forward and fight.
The flags were waving, the drums were beating loudly, and soldiers from both sides began to fight.
Elite weapons can certainly increase a soldier's chance of survival on the battlefield, but on a battlefield of nearly 100,000 people, the death of a soldier seems so insignificant. Human life is as cheap as a dog. Here, life is the least important thing.
