Compared with Lou Shan's opinion, Han Sui recognized Bian Zhang more. Leaving Jia Rong behind the army was really a huge hidden danger.
Han Sui said: "I think this plan is feasible. Jia Rong is not a pedantic person. What the former did in Beidi County has angered the Han Dynasty. The Han Emperor sent him to Pingxiang and regarded him as an abandoned son. As long as we
With the promise of huge profits, Jia Rong is very likely to defect."
Bian Zhang and Han Sui agreed, and the other generals could only agree. As long as they did not attack Pingxiang, Li Wenhou had no objection.
That night, more than ten arrows were shot into the city in the dark night, but they were obviously not offensive in any way.
Jia Rong, who was discussing military affairs at the county government office, immediately led the generals to the city wall after receiving the notification from the soldiers.
Without exception, these arrows were all tied with white cloth strips. The first time he saw these things, Jia Rong thought that this might be the rebels trying to disturb the morale of the army. This is what is written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
All the white cloths on the arrows were confiscated. Jia Rong opened one of them casually, looked at it briefly and burst out laughing. The faces of the accompanying generals also showed smiles.
Jia Rong read the contents of the banner to all the generals. The banner was nothing more than some words to persuade them to surrender, but the words were quite pleasant. It is not the case that eunuchs wield power. As a Han general, the general should take on heavy responsibilities and give the Han a bright future.
Qiankun.
Jia Rong laughed loudly. Han Sui was too good at talking. He could just take care of his own affairs. Why did he still copy the royal family? The reason for persuading him was really lame, but let him serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
But it's a real benefit. If that's the case, Jia Rong really wants to try it.
Han Sui was an old fox, and Jia Rong didn't dare to trust him. Otherwise, if he had sold him, he might still be helping him count money. Bian Zhang, who had such a good relationship with him, was conspired to be killed by him, let alone himself.
After Jia Rong said that he would defend Pingxiang to the death, he sent the generals back, immediately wrote a letter, and took advantage of the darkness to shoot the letter outside the city.
Han Sui held the document sent from the city and remained silent for a long time. Jia Rong's letter neither expressed any intention of seeking refuge nor stated his determination to resist to the death. The content of the letter was like two friends who had not seen each other for many years chatting.
As usual, he rambled on and on. When he read the last sentence of the letter, even with Han Sui's calmness, he couldn't help but curse. The letter stated that there was little food and grass in the city and hoped that the coalition forces could provide some support, but Jia Rong's Xi
As for Liang Jun, he will help the coalition forces watch the rear, allowing Han Sui to lead the coalition forces to attack the Sanfu area with confidence. He will never stop him, and Jia Rong's handwriting is really difficult to read. Han Sui can read it under the light.
It took me a long time to read the contents of the letter.
Taking advantage of the moonlight to look at Pingxiang City, Han Sui's eyes showed deep helplessness. If time allowed, he would definitely spend time with Jia Rong, but Han Sui couldn't afford it. The 80,000-strong army consumed countless amounts of food and grass every day.
Count, there are so many war horses, and if they confront the Han army in the city for a day, Han Sui will have a little more white hair on his head.
Now that the food in the Han Dynasty has matured, and with sufficient food as a backing, the Han Dynasty can deal with them calmly. Regardless of the might of the 80,000 coalition troops, in fact, as long as the larger counties and cities do not surrender, it will take a long time.
When it comes to attacking, ancient people didn't use grenades to attack the city. They relied entirely on simple ladders to climb up the city wall, or they used rams to rush against the city gate. The best way was to coordinate the inside and the outside.
However, like Pingxiang City, Jia Rong's management is so strict that even if there are spies who want to get close to the city gate, it is impossible. The city gate is completely sealed by a big stone and cannot be opened in a short time. The only person guarding the city gate is Jia Rong.
The Xiliang army's loyalty is unquestionable.
This confrontation lasted for more than three days, but the coalition forces still made no movement.
Jia Rong was not worried at all about what tricks the coalition forces would play. He was originally sent to Pingxiang City when he was in danger. The Han Emperor did not take his life seriously at all and was sent to die. If the coalition forces bypassed Pingxiang City,
When attacking other counties, Jia Rong will only be grateful. The food and grass in the city now is enough to last for more than a month.
Three days later, the rebels outside the city finally made some noise. Han Sui rode his horse to the city in person. He was in a position where archers could not shoot, otherwise Jia Rong would not mind giving him such a shot.
One arrow.
Han Sui laughed and said: "General Jia, stop struggling to your death. The nearby Chengji Xianqin was also captured by our army. Now Pingxiang is an isolated city. I hope General Jia can make a wise choice."
Jia Rong suddenly realized, no wonder the rebels have been quiet these days. It turned out that they were going to attack nearby Chengji to show their relatives. But how much does this have to do with him? Jia Rong does not have the kind of location of an ancient general.
The isolated city is worried because the actions of the rebels outside the city prove that they are more worried than themselves.
"What does it have to do with me? This general came to guard Pingxiang under the holy order. As long as Pingxiang City is not destroyed, it will be a meritorious service, hahahaha..." After finishing his words, Jia Rong burst into arrogant laughter.
Han Sui was speechless for a long time outside the city. He couldn't use the lines he had thought of. Jia Rong's meaning did not take the other counties into consideration at all. Facing such a monster-like Han general, Han Sui felt a headache.
Why did the Han Dynasty have such a figure? He was not afraid of the imperial officials impeaching him in front of the Han Emperor. Thinking of the turmoil Jia Rong caused in the Han Dynasty, Han Sui felt relieved.
Seeing that it didn't make sense, Han Sui walked away.
Han Sui left 20,000 troops stationed outside the city and led the rest to march to Lueyang overnight.
The generals who remained had to be carefully selected. The rebels had experienced the cunning and bravery of the Han army in the city. After hearing that Han Sui had decided to lead most of his troops to attack Yang, they were unwilling to stay and guard Jia Rongjun in the city.
.
Li Wenhou stood up and expressed his willingness to lead his troops to guard Jia Rongjun in the city. Han Sui and others did not doubt his presence and agreed that Li Wenhou would lead 20,000 troops to station here. Li Wenhou's ability to lead troops was obvious to all.
, but if Han Sui knew that Li Wenhou was related to Jia Rong in the city, he would not be so relieved.
Compared with Pingxiang City and Lueyang County, the rebels only took three days to capture it. After that, the entire army marched down to Long County and approached Dong Zhuo's army at Longguan. Except for Pingxiang City, the troops in the other counties were captured.
Jia Rong deployed more than half of them, and the city walls in various counties were not that strong. Some county magistrates even abandoned the city and fled.
Dong Zhuo's army in Long Pass had received Jia Rong's request for help a few days ago. Faced with the request for help from his former subordinates, Dong Zhuo attached great importance to it and immediately summoned the generals of the army to discuss it.
Li Su expressed his opposition. When Jia Rong left Dong Zhuo's army in the past, Li Su had suggested that Jia Rong's military power be completely deprived. When he heard that Jia Rong was surrounded and asked for help, he was naturally the first to express his opposition.
Dong Zhuo directly filtered Li Su's views. Now Dong Zhuo's army has expanded to 20,000 people. There are many talents under his command, and countless generals have emerged. Today's generals in Dong Zhuo's army include Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Dong Yue,
Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, Guo Si, Li Cui, Duan Xuan, etc. Guo Si was able to enter the ranks of generals in advance because of the appearance of Jia Rong.
Hearing that Jia Rong was surrounded by 80,000 rebels in Pingxiang, Guo Si lost his previous composure, and the crowd worshiped him: "Jia Rong is trapped in Pingxiang, and my subordinates are willing to lead our troops to rescue him."
Hua Xiong was not to be outdone. In the past, he had a very good relationship with Jia Rong. In addition, Jia Rong was still his nominal lord, so he immediately stood up and said: "I am willing to lead my troops to the rescue even though I am humble."
Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with an undetectable glare, and it disappeared in a flash. He kindly helped the two of them up and said: "Zhiyuan came from our army and is now surrounded by Pingxiang. Naturally, I am eager to rescue him.
The rebels have 100,000 soldiers and horses, claiming to be 200,000, and our army is weak. If we divide our troops, it will definitely reduce the military strength in the pass, which may be taken advantage of by the rebels."
The generals found that Guo Si had become a bit rebellious today, and begged: "General, please agree. Even if the enemy army has 200,000 troops, I will not be afraid of my humble position. There are only 5,000 troops in Pingxiang City. How can we resist the rebellion?"
An army of 80,000 troops.”
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly sharpened and he shouted: "Guo Si, are you questioning my words?"
Guo Si stood aside angrily. For Dong Zhuo, all the generals had a heartfelt fear.
Dong Zhuo turned his attention to Li Ru and asked, "I wonder if Wen You has any good ideas?"
Li Ru stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although the rebels have a large number of people, they may not be able to capture Pingxiang. Moreover, the rebels have 100,000 troops and consume an unknown amount of money and food every day. Moreover, the spies came to report that the rebels' money and food
Not much, as long as Lieutenant Jia can withstand the rebels' offensive, the rebels will retreat within half a month."
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and then said: "Wen You's words are very reasonable, but Pingxiang City is small, and there are only five thousand defenders in the city. Can they stop the rebels from attacking the city?"
This issue is the most important. The prerequisite for consuming the rebels is that Pingxiang City cannot be breached, and Jia Rong has the sacred mandate to guard Pingxiang City. Dong Zhuo has even been ordered to seize it immediately if Jia Rong dares to retreat without authorization.
The military power was escorted to Luoyang. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Han Emperor wanted to force Jia Rong to death.
Dong Zhuo was not worried at all about the news of the rebel attack. The terrain of Longguan was dangerous. Even if 3,000 people were guarding it, 80,000 rebels could not easily capture it.
Li Ru's intention was very clear. Let Jia Rong and the rebels be consumed, and Dong Zhuo's army at Longguan would naturally be less attacked. He could complete the tasks assigned by the Han Emperor without consuming military power. How could he
It's not fun to do it.
After thinking for a long time, Dong Zhuo ordered: "Guo Si, Hua Xiong, you two will lead three thousand troops to the rescue at starry night. Be careful on the road!"
Hua Xiong and Guo Si were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, general!"
The generals under his command were puzzled as to why Dong Zhuo did this, but did not dare to ask. Dong Zhuo always said what he said in the army, and even the military advisor Li Ru could not change the decision. Even if Li Ru advised him, it was only in a tactful way.
