After Liu Bei heard about this incident, he still remained silent. Jia Rong had decided to release Liu Bei. However, this release did not cancel his imprisonment. As long as he made any move, relevant personnel would come immediately.
Looking for trouble, Liu Bei, who once dominated the world and had such a great reputation, could only live cautiously in Luoyang City. Zhuge Liang took refuge in him, and he had no complaints. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang was a talented man and should not die in obscurity.
, and should be a celebrity through the ages. If he had not visited the thatched cottage three times, perhaps Zhuge Liang's life trajectory would have been another way.
From the fourth year of Kaiyuan to the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the princes were in a delicate balance, and the activities of merchants were very frequent. Jia Rong did not impose any restrictions on the merchants of the princes. As long as they paid taxes, there would be no problem.
At this time, there are only three princes left in the world, but they cannot be called a tripartite, because the Liang Kingdom can launch a war at any time and push Cao Cao and Sun Quan to a dead end.
After several years of stability, the Liang Kingdom launched a war. Jia Rong recruited soldiers and horses from all over the world and gathered in Hanoi in order to pacify Cao Cao in one battle. The eyes of the entire world focused on the Liang Kingdom and Cao Jun. This battle
, is related to the situation of the entire world. If the Xiliang army wins, the victorious army can easily pacify the territory under Cao Jun. Sun Quan in Jiangdong will hardly be an opponent at all. Few people are optimistic about Sun Quan, who has Jiangdong Six
The county has elite soldiers and rich people. Compared with the Xiliang Army, it is still more than one level behind. What's more, the Xiliang Army also has a naval force, so there is no suspense in the war with Jiangdong.
At this time, under the rule of Cao Jun, the economy could be described as depressed. No one could understand Cao Cao's difficulties. Liang State launched a large-scale attack, and the food and grass in the treasury could not support the long-term war. This was the most fatal for a prince.
, Not only that, under the rule of Cao Jun, there may be many merchants who are secretly inclined to the Liang Kingdom. In recent years, the Liang Kingdom's merchants have developed very rapidly.
The Liang Kingdom launched the war this time, and the amount of direct donations from businessmen reached 2 billion. This not only represents the determination of the Liang Kingdom, but also represents the confidence of the businessmen in unifying the world. The newspapers in Luoyang City have been focusing on promoting things these days.
Even in the war, the people and officials throughout the Liang Kingdom were full of confidence in Liang's victory over Cao's army, and the turmoil in the world would be lifted because of the Xiliang army.
The businessman's donation of two billion was very fatal to Cao Cao. Two billion was enough to support an army of 100,000 for several months.
Jia Rong attached great importance to this war and decided to fight in person. Maybe this would be the last battle to pacify the entire world. Every battle was crucial and related to the future situation.
The main topic in the court became the discussion of how to fight against Cao Jun. Jia Rong fully demonstrated the temperament that a wise ruler should have. He accepted the opinions of his ministers and recorded them all as long as they were useful strategies. It can be said that this was a cool achievement.
China's largest military operation.
Jia Rong directly mobilized 400,000 soldiers and horses, and gathered all the standing armies from all over the country around Luoyang, waiting for the war to begin. This massive war took nearly two days just to gather the standing armies from all over the country to Luoyang.
month time.
After several years of development, Liang's military strength has reached its peak, with 400,000 soldiers and horses, including 80,000 cavalry.
On the day of the swearing-in, Jia Rong appeared in front of the soldiers of the three armies. After hearing the shouts that shook the sky, a faint smile appeared on his face. The situation in Liang State was only possible because of these soldiers who risked their lives and fought hard.
.
"Soldiers, the purpose of fighting against Cao Cao is to unify the world and allow all people to live a stable life. On the battlefield, soldiers have to risk their lives to fight. There is no need to worry about what happens behind them. But as long as I have a bite of porridge, I will be able to live a stable life."
Your family will not be hungry." Jia Rong's words were simple, but they aroused the excitement of all the soldiers, and they shouted long live.
After about a quarter of an hour, the dianjiang stage gradually returned to calm.
"Cao's army went into battle and was divided into three armies. The first vanguard army was led by General Zhao Yun, commanding 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry."
"The commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Guo Si and Huang Zhong, led 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry."
"I will be the commander-in-chief of the last army. I will lead 200,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry to pacify the world in one battle."
400,000 troops were stationed around Luoyang. When you climbed up to see, there were camps everywhere, so densely packed that it was shocking.
Zhao Yun, the commander of the first army, immediately ordered all his troops and horses to go to Dongjun after receiving the order. This war was very important, and Zhao Yun was also full of energy. The generals named included Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others, which can be said to be elite soldiers.
foot.
Carriage after carriage escorted the grain and supplies to the front line. The three armies went ahead without using the grain and grass. The daily expenses of the 400,000-strong army were a huge amount that could not be ignored.
Three thousand cavalry were divided into hundreds of teams and dispersed in the direction of Dongjun. What Zhao Yun had to do was to control the wind and grass on the battlefield and prepare for the arrival of the army.
Cao Cao had learned about Liang's troop mobilization two months ago. After being shocked, he was well prepared. Liang's actions were already expected, and Cao Cao was confident in his own strength. He knew that and
A war in Liang was inevitable, so he mobilized all the troops.
In terms of the eliteness of his soldiers and horses, Cao Cao did not dare to compare with the Xiliang army. In the past few years, the Liang Kingdom has been refining its strength. No one dared to ignore the influence of this tiger, especially the armor of the Liang soldiers.
and weapons. In the past, the ability of the Xiliang Army to dominate the world was inseparable from this key factor. The same cavalry and two princes could not defeat one cavalry of the Xiliang Army. This was the gap.
Liang's cavalry kept appearing outside Dongjun. Cao Cao gave the order to withdraw all the defenders of Dongjun. Even Chen Liu's soldiers and horses were mobilized and gathered near Dingtao in Jiyin County. Cao Cao knew that he was unable to do so due to his strength.
Compared with the Xiliang Army, even the food and grass in the treasury cannot support a large-scale battle. It is better to fight the Xiliang Army quickly and decisively. Victory will alleviate the current crisis of Cao's army, but failure will be doomed.
He will be eliminated and will have no chance to compete for world supremacy.
Cao Cao's decision-making, the counselors under his command had no complaints. No one dared to ignore the influence of the Liang Kingdom at this time, not only military but also economic. The economy under Cao Jun's rule, under the influence of the Xiliang Army,
There was no room for development and everything had to be contained. The merchants' methods were brought into full play under Cao Cao's rule. It was impossible for Cao Cao to eradicate all the merchants in a rage.
Zhao Yun captured Chenliu of the East County without any bloodshed, opening up a forward position for the Xiliang Army's advance. The more large-scale battles like this, the more it tests whether a general is competent. Years of battles have all proved that Zhao Yun is a leader.
A qualified commander.
With Chenliu and Dongjun as the front lines, Zhao Yun fought step by step and slowly moved towards Jiyin. All enemies along the way were eradicated to ensure the stability of the army as it marched, without any mistakes. This is
The goal Zhao Yun gave himself.
Cao Cao's retreat was expected by Jia Rong. If Cao Jun chose to resist in every city, Jia Rong would be surprised.
The grain and grass supplies were slowly transported to Dongjun. This place will become the rear area of the Xiliang Army's decisive battle, providing the army with grain and grass supplies.
The food and drink expenses for the 400,000-strong army are extraordinary. Almost all the merchants in Luoyang City are busy. No one is willing to miss this grand event. Every day, hundreds of carriages can be seen entering Dongjun, one by one.
Mountains of accumulated food and supplies quickly rose.
There was no large-scale battle between the two sides, but the battle of scouts began. Zhao Yun wanted to control the movements of Cao's army at any time, and Cao Cao did not want to lose the opportunity in this battle. The battle between the scouts of both sides was particularly fierce, and there were large numbers of soldiers every day.
A large number of scouts were killed and injured. At this time, both sides no longer care so much. Every piece of information on the battlefield is related to the victory or defeat of the army.
Cao Cao's army has 300,000, of which the number of cavalry reaches 40,000. Although it is only half of the number of cavalry in Liang, it also shows how rapidly Cao Cao has developed over the years. You must know that Cao Cao does not own a large-scale horse farm.
, the sources of many war horses need to be provided by merchants. The consumption of 40,000 cavalry is enough for Cao Cao to build an elite army of 100,000.
The battle between the scouts from both sides became more and more intense, from the initial dozens of people fighting to hundreds of people, so that in a recent battle involving nearly a thousand scouts, two powerful generals, Lu Bu and Ma Chao, were also sent to the battlefield to win more for the army.
information.
After the news of the decisive battle between Cao Jun and Liang Kingdom reached Jiangdong, Sun Quan couldn't sit still. He could naturally see what the world would be like after this battle. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Xiliang Army, he would be the strongest in the world.
The strongest one, no one doubts this, it is spring at this time, the decisive battle between the two sides in Jiyin is the strongest collision of strength.
Not only the land soldiers of Liang Kingdom, but also the navy army began to mobilize. Jia Rong was very determined this time, thinking that he could pacify Jiangdong at once and take the whole world into his palm. He had the background of Jingzhou navy army, and added that
The 50,000-strong naval force commanded by Shang Ganning far surpassed Jiangdong in strength.
After Gan Ning and Zhou Tai met again, they began to discuss how to attack Jiangdong. The two Liang navy generals met again in Jingzhou many years later, and what they faced was also the biggest battle in the Liang Kingdom.
At this time, the Liang Kingdom's naval force was no longer as simple as it had been in the past with only a few large ships.
Twenty large-scale ships were equipped with thunderbolt carriages. The exteriors of the large-scale ships were all wrapped in iron sheets. Among them, the five main large-scale ships were surrounded by densely interlaced steel. The navy officers had no doubt that when the Jiangdong Navy encountered
What will happen to such a large ship? Cai Mao from Luoyang was also sent to the navy. Cai Hao has commanded the Jingzhou navy for many years and has a deep understanding of the water station and the Jiangdong navy.
Jiyin, with a radius of hundreds of miles, was developed into a battlefield, and all the trees and even ravines growing here were filled in.
