Some officials even associated some rebels of the Han Dynasty with Jia Rong. The reason was naturally Jia Rong's water boat theory. It can be said that Jia Rong's name filtered into the ears of the Han emperor several times every day, but
This news is not good for Jia Rong.
The people the Han Emperor trusted most were always Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. After coming down from the court, they naturally asked about their reward for Jia Rong. Especially Zhang Rang's remarks in the court today made the Han Emperor wake up.
This led to greater trust in eunuchs.
Zhang Rang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, good news came from Changsha today, and the Holy One immediately made him the prefect of Changsha." After saying this, Zhang Rang stood aside quietly. Based on his understanding of the Han Emperor, as long as he gave a little guidance, the Han Emperor would definitely do it.
Understand what to do.
As Zhang Rang expected, Emperor Han patted his head and said, "If it weren't for my father, I would have missed something important."
"Can Jia Rong be trusted?" Emperor Han asked.
Zhang Rang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you can test Jia Rong. The treasury of the Han Dynasty is empty, and the aristocratic family has food and grass but does not support it. This is a good way to test Jia Rong's loyalty."
"How do you say this?" Emperor Han asked eagerly.
Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict, saying that the treasury is empty, and asking Jia Rong to prepare some food and grass. Then you will know whether Jia Rong is loyal. It is expected that Jia Rong's army will not have much food and grass at this time, and it is the time to test him."
Emperor Han frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In my father's opinion, how should Jia Rong's official position be rewarded?"
Zhang Rang smiled and said: "Does Your Majesty want the border to be at war again or to stabilize it?"
"Of course I want to settle down." After saying this, the Han Emperor stopped asking questions.
The next day in the court hall, the Han Emperor issued an edict, "Confess Jia Rong as the prefect of Jincheng and govern Jincheng County!"
Even though Jia Rong is a minister of tigers and wolves, Han Sui is a real rebel. It is a good choice to leave Jia Rong in Jincheng to resist Han Sui's rebels. Moreover, the poverty of Jincheng County is well known to all dynasties.
Not only would they not get any tax every year, but they would also have to pay a small amount in return. It would be okay to hand over such a city to Jia Rong for management.
In fact, Yuan Wei later regretted what he said in court. As long as there was news about asking for food and grass from Jincheng, Yuan Wei could come forward to disagree. Why should he do it so obviously? After all, he was also a Tutor, with a prominent position, and
If a little general does something right, doesn't this indirectly elevate Jia Rong's status?
When the news reached Jincheng County, the generals of the Xiliang Army were excited again. Previously, Jia Rong was demoted. If they followed Jia Rong, their positions would naturally be lowered. Now that Jia Rong has become the prefect again, it is natural that one person has gained the right and his subordinates have been promoted.
With the support of the defenders in the city, Wulan Miwei and his two men quickly occupied the two counties of Chengji and Ayang. The three counties were horns with each other. When one side was in trouble, the two outsiders supported it. Pingxiang guarded by Jiang Yu was not only
The ones with the highest morale are also the ones with the strongest troops. When Jia Rong left a few days ago, he left Li Shun's trapped camp stationed in Pingxiang, which happened to give Jiang Yu an advantage.
Contrary to the joy of Jia Rong's Xiliang army, Han Sui overturned the table in the tent for the eighth time, and kept cursing words such as "Jia Rong's son, you are so shameless". The more he thought about it, the angrier Han Sui became.
Hanyang County was just a wish, while Jincheng County was Han Sui's base camp. Han Sui would rather not have Hanyang than lose Jincheng, not to mention that his general Yan Xing was also captured alive by Jia Rong.
What's even more despicable is that Chengji and Ayang counties were easily captured by Jia Rongjun. Now Han Sui only has Lueyang to express his kinship with Long County and Wangyuan County. His power has shrunk by more than half, and Hanyang County is the seat of government.
Ji County has not yet been conquered.
The reason why Han Sui got the news and still confronted Dong Zhuo at Longguan was because Han Sui wanted to take Hanyang County. Now that his retreat was completely cut off, Han Sui had no choice but to take Hanyang. Jia Rong got the help of Li Wenhou, and his military and land were prosperous.
Even Dong Zhuo of Longguan cannot be captured by himself. The greatest hope is that the coalition forces can quickly capture Ji County.
After learning that Chengji and Ayang counties were defeated because of the response of the defenders in the city, Han Sui mobilized all the Qiang people belonging to Li Wenhou in the remaining four counties to his side. However, Han Sui's actions were still a step slow.
The Qiang people in the four counties had already taken refuge in Ulan in Ayang.
At this time, Han Sui was not so particular. He used the 10,000 Qiang soldiers sent to him by Li Wenhou as the vanguard to attack Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County. The morale of the coalition forces reached its lowest point, and Li Wenhou's rebellion
, the loss of Jincheng County was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and the results of many months of hard work by the coalition forces were instantly wiped out.
These 10,000 Qiang soldiers are in unspeakable suffering. Now, they also want to escape from Han Sui and flee back to Jincheng. After the previous incident, Han Sui's guarding intensity has been strengthened a lot. As soon as any escaped soldiers are found, they will immediately
After a fight, the Qiang soldiers had their way back blocked, so they had no choice but to follow Han Sui wholeheartedly.
Dong Zhuo from Longguan also quickly received the news that Jia Rong had occupied Jincheng County, and he laughed heartily. To be honest, it was the first time that Han Sui suffered such a big loss. While he was happy, Dong Zhuo's face
After sinking, why Jia Rong was able to take Jincheng County back effortlessly is worth pondering.
Li Ru said: "My lord, now that Jia Rong has occupied Jincheng County and has the strength to fight against the Han court, even if the officials of the imperial court deliberately make things difficult, they will not be able to save themselves." After saying this, Li Ru felt very unwilling.
If Dong Zhuo's army captures Jincheng County, its strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Dong Zhuo has been famous in Xiliang for a long time, and Longxi County is where he rose to prominence. In Longxi, Dong Zhuo has unimaginable prestige. In name, Dong Zhuo is still the governor of Hedong. However, there have been wars in the border areas in recent years. Dong Zhuo has no time to return to Hedong County.
It is said that Dong Zhuo's hometown is in Longxi.
In fact, Hedong County is quite good. At least it is very close to Luoyang. As long as there are any changes in Luoyang, it only takes a few days to speed up the march. Moreover, the ancients believed that the closer to the capital, the better.
I don’t know how comfortable the sky is and the emperor is far away.
Dong Zhuo said: "Han Sui will withdraw his troops from Jincheng County occupied by Jia Rong in the near future. Send an order for Guo Si and Hua Xiong to come back." In his words, he was very dissatisfied with Hua Xiong and Guo Si because Jia Rong captured Jincheng so quickly.
The county and the two generals in the army did not receive any news at all.
Li Ru nodded and agreed with Dong Zhuo's statement.
"Wen You, do you think Jia Rong is still the Zhiyuan we met back then? Why am I increasingly unable to see through him?" Dong Zhuo expressed his doubts.
"Jia Rong acts eclectically, as can be seen from what he did in Beidi County a few days ago, and he is also a master who does not take the Han Dynasty in his eyes. His remarks in Luoyang shocked the world.
, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed him as the Captain of the Qiang Protector and guarded Pingxiang, but in fact he wanted to eradicate Jia Rong, but unexpectedly Jia Rong took the opportunity to regain Jincheng. What happens in the world is unpredictable. "
Li Ru continued: "However, the key to Jia Rong's ability to quickly recapture Jincheng occupied by the rebels must be the 20,000 Qiang soldiers and horses outside Pingxiang City. If my subordinates' predictions are correct, it must have been Jia Rong's persuasion.
Qiang people, and then used the Qiang people to counterattack Jincheng in one fell swoop."
Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "How can the Qiang people trust Jia Rong? This time the Qiang people killed the captain who was protecting the Qiang people and there is no way out. Will they listen to Jia Rong's words?" Although Dong Zhuo was a military commander, his strategy was still the same.
Yes, if you can't see such a basic thing, there's no need to mix it up.
Li Ru smiled and said: "My lord, have you forgotten that there are many Qiang soldiers in Jia Rong's army? When my lord fought with the Qiang people, Jia Rong took advantage of the situation and recruited many Qiang people."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "It is true, but what does this matter have to do with Li Wenhou's 20,000 troops? You must know that the Qiang people are composed of many tribes. It is difficult for Li Wenhou to convince the crowd alone, let alone let him win.
Twenty thousand troops have returned."
Li Ru said without thinking: "My Lord, does he know that there is a rule in Jia Rongjun?"
"What?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Both Qiang soldiers and Han soldiers in Jia Rong's army are all equal. Even the military pay is the same. Even the generals in the army have many Qiang people. Jia Rong then expressed his affection for Li Wenhou Xiaozhi outside the city.
With reason, it is very easy to gain the trust of Marquis Li Wen." Li Ru was very familiar with some things in Jia Rongjun, especially some of the rules in Jia Rongjun.
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "In this way, Jia Rong's strength will be greatly improved, and I will not be as good as me!"
Li Su stood up and said: "Jia Rong has a wolf-like attitude. He should have seized his military power in the first place, and he should not send troops to help this time. That Jia Rong is cunning. I wonder if he will let General Hua and General Guo back this time."
, my lord should make plans in advance."
Li Ru said calmly: "My lord's rescue of Jia Rongjun seems useless, but in fact it is a life-saving grace for Jia Rong. In the future, my lord will call you for something, and I don't think Jia Rong will refuse."
Dong Zhuo directly filtered Li Su, and what Li Ru said was exactly his intention. His purpose was to make Jia Rong remember his kindness.
Li Su and Li Ru were called Dong Zhuo's two subordinates, but Li Su's position in Dong Zhuo's heart was far inferior to that of Li Ru. At best, Li Su was Dong Zhuo's disciple, and at worst, he was his slave. Moreover, Li Su treated Li Ru very much.
There is a kind of fear from the heart, especially Li Ru's methods of persecuting people. Li Su has witnessed Li Ru silently killing one obstacle after another in Dong Zhuo's way. Thinking about those methods is shocking.
shudder.
Dong Zhuo asked: "Now that Jia Rong has captured Jincheng County, should our army attack Han Sui or hold back." Jia Rong has achieved a great achievement. Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to eliminate Han Sui in one fell swoop, which must be a great achievement.
One thing, from the bottom of his heart, Dong Zhuo still regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he still wanted to assist the emperor. However, seeing that the emperor at that time was a bit cowardly, he wanted to choose another wise emperor. Just imagine a powerful minister with ulterior motives. Could he still think of it?
Let the emperor be smart, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
