"Wu Ban?" Jia Rong nodded slightly and said, "Send an order for Wu Ban to come to see me." After defeating Zitong, two generals, Yang Huailingbao and Yang Huailingbao, were directly executed by Jia Rong, while Zhang Ren and Wu Ban were imprisoned.
It was indeed a good move to convince Wu Ban.
"Don't underestimate Wu Yi. The battle at Mianzhu will be extremely cruel after all. Be prepared." Jia Rong said.
Guo Jia didn't understand why Jia Rong was so cautious after possessing explosives, but he had to obey orders and could only obey.
Wu Ban was changed into cleaner clothes by the guards and brought to Jia Rong. The Xiliang Army did not have too many difficulties for Yang Ren and Wu Ban. Apart from being unable to move freely, everything else was fine.
"Don't kneel down when you see the Holy One." Seeing Wu Ban's arrogant look, a guard stepped forward and scolded him.
Jia Rong waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, and said with a smile: "General Wu, please sit down."
But Wu Ban ignored him and still stood where he was, saying in a cold voice: "You came to me just for the Mianzhu matter. To tell you the truth, don't think that this general will come to the city to do things for you."
Jia Rong glanced at Wu Ban in surprise. He didn't expect that this general was quite smart.
"General Wu is a smart man. Now that he understands what I mean, he should consider what kind of benefits there will be after this matter is completed. Instead of being full of enthusiasm, like Yang Huai Lingbao, it is rare.
It's such a pity that the general died just because of his foolish loyalty to Liu Zhang. Doesn't the general think about what happens after his death, and even the entire Wu family in Yizhou?"
Seeing Wu Ban's expression change slightly, Jia Rong continued: "General Wu must have understood the strength of the Xiliang Army. If I insist on attacking Mianzhu, even if there are 100,000 Yizhou Army in the pass, they will still be wiped out in a snap."
"Empty words."
"Haha, hasn't the general seen the weapons of the Xiliang Army? I have tens of thousands of soldiers in Mianzhu and can't bear to take action. Otherwise, I am confident that even the entire Mianzhu will be blown up."
When Jia Rong mentioned the weapons of the Xiliang Army, Wu Ban's eyes trembled slightly. With such weapons, the Xiliang Army would be invincible. Yizhou, which had worked hard for many years, could not resist it at all.
"The Wu family is a big family in Yizhou. After I pacify Yizhou, I still need your help. Adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when the time is right. General Wu must understand this better than me. You go back and think about it." Jia Rong waved his hand.
After Wu Ban returned, he couldn't sleep all night. What Jia Rong said was an indisputable fact. How dangerous Zitong was, but he was defeated by the Xiliang army under repeated offensives. Even though there were 100,000 elite soldiers and generals in Mianzhu, he did not
The slightest bit of confidence was just a pretense of toughness in front of Jia Rong.
"Brother, the situation in Yizhou is complicated. The Liang Kingdom has a strong military force. Not even the small Mianzhu can stop it. I hope you can think about it. Jia Rong has made it clear that after occupying Yizhou, he will treat the Wu family well and become the Mijia Guard of Chang'an.
The existence of a home is also unknown.”
Wu Yi pondered for a long time. He naturally knew a thing or two about the Wei family and the Mi family in Chang'an. Even the Su family, who was originally a horse dealer, had a transcendent status in the world at this time. Jia Rong developed a horse farm on the grassland and sold horses.
Most of them were left to the Su family to handle. The fact that the little-known Su family was able to get to where they are now has a lot to do with their original alignment.
"Master Liu treated my Wu family very well, how could he do such a treasonous and unethical thing?" Wu Yidao said.
"Brother, you haven't seen the weapons of the Xiliang Army that can directly blow people into the sky. The city gate is just a decoration in front of them. Instead of stubbornly resisting, it is better to surrender directly and save the Wu family. Liu Zhang seems to
If you defend Yizhou, you will definitely be the first to surrender after Mianzhu is breached." Wu Band said.
At this time, Wu Yi was in sole control of Mianzhu and had absolute say. The two brothers discussed until midnight and finally planted the flag of the Xiliang Army on Mianzhu City.
As for the family in Chengdu, although Wu Yi was worried, he still had enough confidence in Jia Rong. Liu Zhang was an indecisive person and he did not have the courage to take action against the Wu family.
Looking at the densely packed Xiliang army outside the city, Liu Zhang's face turned pale. Wu Yi's direct surrender shook the morale of Yizhou's army. At this time, no one was optimistic about Liu Zhang, and there were countless people who secretly showed their favor to the Wu family.
Liu Zhang really wanted to expel the Wu family from Yizhou in a rage. Thinking of the power of the Xiliang army, he could only think about it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Songzhang would like to see you." The guard's voice interrupted Liu Zhang's thoughts.
"Let him in."
When Zhang Song saw Liu Zhang, he just slightly cupped his hands. Liu Zhang, who was upset, didn't pay much attention.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Zhang had always disliked Zhang Song.
"Your Majesty must be worried about the Xiliang Army. I have a plan to prevent the people of Yizhou from experiencing any turmoil."
"What's the plan? Let me tell you." Liu Zhang asked hurriedly.
"Jia Rong took refuge in the Liang Kingdom." Zhang Song analyzed: "Jia Rong has the appearance of an emperor. Looking at the world, the only one who can compare with him is Cao Cao in the Central Plains. However, Cao Cao fought with the Liang Kingdom and was at a disadvantage many times. The Liang Kingdom conquered the world.
, it’s just a matter of time, Mianzhu guard Wu Yi defected to the Xiliang army, does the prince think Liu Bei will save Yizhou?”
"Zhuge Liang's intention to send troops to Yizhou is clear. At this time, Ba County probably belongs to Jingzhou, not to the prince. Even Yan Yan may have defected to Liu Bei."
"Is this what you mean by not letting the people experience turmoil?" Liu Zhang said angrily.
"That's right. The Liang Kingdom treats its people very kindly. Why there were no rebellions in Hanzhong after taking refuge with the Liang Kingdom? It's all because of this. The prince is the master of Yizhou, but this master really does everything to Yizhou.
How much control can there be, and how many aristocratic families have secretly contacted the Xiliang Army, is unknown. I am afraid they are thinking about how to put the prince's head on his neck and dedicate it to the Xiliang Army to gain Jia Rong's trust." Zhang Songdao
.
Liu Zhang had always been dissatisfied with the ugly Zhang Song, but today's words were like a bolt from the blue. Suddenly he thought of being pushed down by everyone.
"Zhang Song, you are also an official in Yizhou. Why are you always thinking about the Liang Kingdom? Could it be that you have taken refuge with Jia Rong?" Liu Zhang shouted.
"My lord, I clearly see that I have taken refuge in the Liang Kingdom because of my humble position."
Liu Zhang was immediately choked. Unexpectedly, Zhang Song simply admitted that he had defected to the Xiliang army.
"you?"
"Your Majesty, how many officials in Yizhou really care about your Majesty? As they said, after Yizhou was captured, with their own talents, they could still have an official position in Liang Kingdom. Jia Rong has always been good at employing people.
It’s eclectic, and after the prince’s resistance, I must have guessed a little bit about the consequences of Chengdu being captured, so it would be better to join the Xiliang army directly.”
Zhang Song's words were simple and clear. He directly admitted that he was from the Xiliang Army and pointed out the way. Liu Zhang didn't know what to think of such a "minister".
Order after order was conveyed to all parts of Yizhou, and even Bajun received an order from the Hanzhong Palace to surrender to the Xiliang Army.
Liu Zhang's decision saved Jia Rong a lot of trouble, and Zhang Song and others, as heroes, also directly entered the officialdom of Liang Kingdom.
Liu Zhang is still the King of Hanzhong, but this King of Hanzhong is going to live in Chang'an. There, Jia Rong has prepared a large mansion for him, and Liang Kingdom will also provide food and drink for him.
With the exception of Ba County, all of Yizhou fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army. Within four months of sending troops, the entire Yizhou was pacified. This achievement was very eye-catching in the world. Cao Cao was shocked and gave up his plan to attack Hanoi.
At this time, the Liang Kingdom was at the peak of its military power, and Cao's army was defeated many times.
The incident in Bajun was what Jia Rong had expected, and he had no intention of letting Zhuge Liang go. However, the situation in Yizhou was complicated and there were many aristocratic families. He not only had to deal with the people well, but also stabilized the aristocratic families in Yizhou.
Tian Feng was ordered to do so when he was in danger, and was granted the title of Yizhou Shepherd to temporarily handle the affairs of Yizhou.
Zhuge Liang's face was extremely ugly. He originally thought that Liu Zhang could resist the Xiliang army with the help of Yizhou's soldiers and horses. In the blink of an eye, they all surrendered. There was a huge difference between taking Yizhou without bloodshed and taking Yizhou at a huge cost. Zhuge Liang
I really can't understand why Jia Rong was originally standing opposite the noble family. When the army attacked the city, they should have assisted Liu Zhang and defended with all their strength. Why did they surrender midway?
When faced with life and death, even aristocratic families are no exception. For the sake of life, they can abandon everything. For the continuation of the family, loyalty can only be put aside.
After Jia Rong occupied Yizhou, he was not satisfied. Instead, he directly led 50,000 troops to attack Bajun, intending to drive Liu Bei's forces out of Yizhou completely.
The Xiliang army used completely sharp methods and used explosives desperately. In a short period of time, Zhuge Liang was defeated steadily. With the combined advantage of explosives, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat to Jingzhou. In the face of advanced weapons,
Zhuge Liang was defeated, and his confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. When he came out to assist Liu Bei, he was so high-spirited that all the princes in the world did not pay attention to him. In the blink of an eye, he suffered continuous defeats. The huge contrast between before and after made Zhuge Liang return.
After arriving in Jingzhou, he devoted himself to researching science and technology.
Zhuge Liang understood clearly that if he wanted to gain an advantage over the Xiliang army, he had to suppress the Xiliang army with weapons, especially weapons that could blow open the city gates.
Jia Rong didn't understand what Zhuge Liang did after returning to Jingzhou. Yizhou faced many problems after it was pacified. Yizhou was a rare stable place for the Han Dynasty. Here, there were the most aristocratic families, and the phenomenon of land annexation was also the most serious. The aristocratic families
Relying on the financial resources in their hands, there are many people who have vast hectares of fertile land, but the people still live a difficult life.
