His bloody methods of dealing with foreigners and his determination to defend the frontier made many Youzhou generals yearn for him. Some of the war-fighting people under Liu Yu's account always spoke well of Gongsun Zan. The majesty accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years cannot be violated.
Soldiers in the army have always admired brave generals. Although Gongsun Zan was very strict with his subordinates and even a little picky, there were still many people who were willing to follow him, especially the white-horse Yi Cong, who was famous outside the Great Wall, and many young men yearned for him.
Four months later, Liu Yu gathered 50,000 troops from Youzhou to confront Zhang Ju's army in Changping. Gongsun Zan and Hao Ran were among them. This time he fought against Wuhuan and Zhang Chun, mainly relying on Gongsun Zan. Therefore, Liu Yu included
The officials under his command also treated Gongsun Zan respectfully.
During these days in Guangyang County, Jia Rong lived the most unrestrained life. He took Wei Fu for a walk when he had nothing to do, and appeared in various streets and alleys.
The cavalry under his command were training outside the city. Jia Rong only sent people to send food and clothing regularly. The name of this team was "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", with 1,200 people, recruited from all over Youzhou.
The soldiers were trained by generals such as Jiang Yu, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu, and Zhang Zhi, who was born as a lone wolf, assisted from the side. One can imagine the intensity of the cavalry training.
The nests of thieves and robbers in nearby counties have become a training ground for cavalry, and the surrounding public security has become quiet. People nearby know that a mysterious team has appeared in Guangyang County, specializing in exterminating bandits, and its reputation is growing.
In the beginning, Lu Bu would go to the city to visit Jia Rong every once in a while, but the life in the city seemed boring to Lu Bu, so when Jiang Yu proposed to go to the city again, Lu Bu would not follow him at all.
Zhang Zhi's training methods were refreshing to new generals such as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, especially the Xiliang Army's unique cavalry training method.
Zhang Chun rebelled, and Liu Yu once again issued a military order to recruit people with lofty ideals to fight against the rebels.
After hearing the news, Jia Rong led 600 cavalry to join, and Lu Bu and Jiang Yu led another 600 cavalry to join.
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news and greeted him personally. In Youzhou, cavalry was also a rare existence. Except for Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, few people could form a cavalry force of more than a thousand people.
Sure enough, as rumored, Liu Yu is kind to others and has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
At first glance, Jia Rong had a good impression of this old man. The people in the city responded to Liu Yu's call and actively joined the army, so Liu Yu was able to form a team of tens of thousands of people in just a few months.
Jia Rong's identity was exposed when Gongsun Zan arrived in the army. Hearing that Jia Rong was in the army, the morale of the Han army was even higher. Jia Rong was a figure with the halo of a famous general. Although he had never seen him in person, his reputation was there.
.
Because of his meritorious service in annihilating Xianbei, Gongsun Zan was granted the title of Lieutenant Colonel and Marquis of Duting. He was at the moment of great satisfaction.
Liu Yu treated Jia Rong courteously to a certain extent because he thought Jia Rong could properly restrain Gongsun Zan. Few generals in the Youzhou army dared to challenge Gongsun Zan face to face.
For a team of 50,000 people, just providing food and grass was a very troublesome matter. The army was easy to form, but food and grass were difficult to prepare. Four months later, Liu Yu led the army and slowly headed towards Changping.
The Han army garrison in Changping County breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Yu leading the army. Zhang Chunqiu had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and came to the city. The sight of them was frightening.
Taking over the defense of Changping, Liu Yu actively listened to the generals' suggestions and strengthened the city walls. Changping was only a small city and the city walls were not high. It was difficult to hold 50,000 Han troops within the city.
Zhang Chun suddenly had to occupy so many cities, and he needed to digest them slowly, so Liu Yu had time to slowly take charge of the city defense.
During this period, Liu Yu proposed many times to send envoys to Wuhuan in order to make the Wuhuan people stop their troops.
In Liu Yu's understanding, the culprits of this rebellion were Zhang Ju and others, which had nothing to do with the Wuhuan people. Qiu Liju's rebellion was also deceived by Zhang Ju and others. Liu Yu kept sending envoys to Youbeiping.
, I hope Qiu Liju can find his way back.
Jia Rong shook his head secretly. Liu Yu was a Han, but he went to such an extent to defend foreigners. Could it be that the Wuhuan people were rebelling after they raised troops, and their impression of Liu Yu was greatly reduced.
Jia Rong's reputation is quite bad, especially the words of the Luoyang Cai Mansion were flattering the people and belittling the royal family. As a royal, Liu Yu should be prejudiced against Jia Rong. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu
But he treated himself with extra courtesy.
Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun combined their forces to have about 200,000 men. The east, west and south gates of Changping were surrounded, but the north gate was unguarded. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were able to achieve the positions of prefect and prime minister of Zhongshan, and they were not ordinary.
If you are surrounded by three and one is missing, you can largely allow the defenders in the city to escape without a fight.
Standing on Changping City, the mighty rebels outside the city gave people a strong sense of oppression. The flags blocked the sun and the soldiers could not see the side at a glance. If the north gate had not been surrounded, Changping would have fallen into the enemy's trap.
The vast ocean.
After Jia Rong's identity was announced, his voice in the Han army was still very high.
Being in Changping, Jia Rong naturally had to put himself in Changping's shoes and consider the safety of Changping, and said: "Sir, the rebels' intentions are obvious, please make a decision as soon as possible." In the past few days, Liu Yu seemed to be reinforcing Changping City, but in fact
However, he has been discussing with his generals how to persuade the Wuhuan people, and strengthening the city wall seems to be to appease the soldiers' emotions.
Liu Yu smoothed his beard, nodded and said, "General Jia's words are reasonable. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" After saying this, Liu Yu turned his attention to the civil servants under his command.
Jia Rong couldn't help but be speechless, just imagine what good suggestions a civil servant who had never been on the battlefield would give. Sure enough, the general in the room looked unhappy when he heard this.
The civil servants and military officers in the room are clearly distinguished, the civil servants on the left and the military commanders on the right.
Seeing no one answered, Wei Youyue bowed to the crowd and said, "Sir, don't worry. Zhang Ju and his followers are just a temporary group of rabble. There are two hundred thousand people, so there is nothing to worry about. Our army of fifty thousand is enough to win, not to mention two hundred thousand people."
Countless amounts of food and grass are consumed every day. As long as our army holds on to Changping, within ten days, the rebels will be without food and will surely collapse without a fight."
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Wei Cao Rong's words are very true. Send an order to strengthen the city wall, and all the generals will perform their duties."
Jia Rong advised again: "Sir, no, the rebels have done a lot of harm to the people. If they still surround Changping, I am afraid that the surrounding people will suffer from the war, and our army does not have much food and grass.
The rebels are afraid that something will go wrong if they continue to confront each other."
"Zhang Ju and other rebels are like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves wherever they go, plundering villages everywhere. If this continues, the people will suffer the most. I, the Han Dynasty, have always governed the country with benevolence, how can I let the people fall into the flames of war and ignore it."
Liu Yu's eyes showed deep contemplation. Jia Rong's words hit his weak point. In Youzhou, Liu Yu was a good example of loving the people like a son. If this incident spread, it would have a bad impact on his reputation. Jia Rong
Rong also captured this point.
The breeze has started, everyone works together to push the iron cavalry upwards. Friends who like iron cavalry remember to save it. It will not only facilitate the next reading, but also support the cliff. Thank you!
