Jia Rong cupped his hands and said: "Yuan Shao and others claim to have an army of 500,000, which is invincible. Your and my armies combined are only 70,000 or 80,000. This is a dangerous situation." Jia Rong is not alarmist. The military strength of the 18th Route princes may not be strong.
, but if you can strangle Luoyang's food route, if you don't succeed in one year, you will be surrounded for two years until you are short of food. By then you will not win without a fight.
Dong Zhuo's expression changed drastically and he said anxiously: "Zhiyuan, is there really no room for redemption?"
"Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the eight surrounding passes are the only way to Luoyang. As long as they stick to these eight passes, the Guandong princes can only wander outside the pass. I expect that these princes are just a mob. When their food and grass are exhausted, they will
Naturally, they will disperse in a cacophony. At that time, the Grand Master will lead the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" to completely collapse these rebellions, and then revive the great Han Dynasty, achieve immortal fame, and even humble positions can become famous all over the world." Jia Rong drew a big picture for Dong Zhuo.
Pancake, I even thought about what happened after the defeat of the eighteen princes, it is not incomplete.
Dong Zhuo was not a stupid person. After he figured out the key point, he clapped his hands and praised: "Zhiyuan is really my lucky general."
"I would like to ask Zhiyuan to teach me how to deploy military power in the eight passes around Luoyang." Dong Zhuo showed his excellent quality of not being ashamed to ask questions.
At the critical moment, Jia Rong stopped hiding and told Dong Zhuo how to arrange the surrounding checkpoints.
"The world is in chaos, and there are so few people like me and Zhiyuan who are loyal to the country. It's a pity that the 400-year-old Han Dynasty is about to be destroyed in one day. The aristocratic families, officials and scholars in the city are just people who deceive the world and steal their reputation. They are timid at the critical moment. The world seems to be
There are really too few people like me and Zhiyuan." Dong Zhuo sighed.
Jia Rong felt so cold that if these words were heard by those great scholars, they would probably faint from anger.
Jia Rong was very curious why Dong Zhuo didn't ask Li Ru but asked himself instead. With Li Ru's resourcefulness, it was easy to think of this. In addition, he had discussed this matter with Li Ru for a long time years ago, but
This is a private matter of Dong Zhuo's family, and it's not easy for Jia Rong to interfere with it.
After taking a look at the main hall, I didn't see Li Ru's figure, but Li Su was in the hall.
I have to say that Dong Zhuo knew how to enjoy it very much. The main hall was decorated magnificently, and I don’t know how much money was spent. Even the chair Dong Zhuo sat on was made of gold. Looking at the main hall of the Taishi Mansion, Jia Rong suddenly felt that his own mansion was real.
Feeling too shabby.
"General Jia, our troops and horses are stationed in the eight passes. We don't have many troops. We still need to rely on General Jia to put in more efforts." Li Su walked out and said.
Jia Rong frowned slightly and looked at Dong Zhuo in confusion. He was talking to Dong Zhuo. How could he interrupt without permission as Li Su?
Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded to express his acquiescence.
"Grand Master, the Xiliang Army will definitely try its best to protect Luoyang. Hulao Pass is the first pass in Luoyang. After I return, I will lead the sergeants to fight." Jia Rong said.
"Zhiyuan's determination to serve the country can be seen from heaven and earth. I will express this in court tomorrow." Dong Zhuo said with some excitement.
Li Su was surprised that Jia Rong agreed so readily. He was even more excited and continued: "Our army does not have many troops. Please lend the general some troops, horses, food, grass and baggage."
Jia Rong secretly laughed, wondering if Li Su was stupid and thought he was being taken advantage of.
"The Xiliang army has only ten thousand people. How can it be compared with your army? Our army does not have enough food and grass. We also hope that the Grand Master can arrange food and grass for our army. The three armies will go ahead without food and grass. If there is no food and grass, the Xiliang army will suffer."
There is no point in guarding the border." Since you are looking for something to do yourself, you must provide benefits. There is no need for others to contribute, but you will try to take advantage.
"General Jia, this is His Majesty's will. If you don't comply, it will be against His Majesty's will. Please think carefully." Li Su snorted coldly.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "You and I don't tell secret stories, so the Holy Will is just your wishful thinking." Now that we have broken up with each other, Jia Rong doesn't mind telling the truth a little more.
"Do you think you can get out of the Taishi Mansion with just the few people you brought?" Li Su sneered.
The soldiers outside the hall heard this and broke in with swords and guns. Zhao Yun hurriedly led the blood guards to guard behind Jia Rong, and the scene suddenly became tense.
Jia Rong sneered and said: "Does Mr. Li think that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army can just trust me to walk into the Taishi Mansion? In an hour, if I don't leave the Taishi Mansion, the Xiliang Army will attack Taishi with all its strength."
There's still half an hour left in the master's residence, Master Li, just take care of it."
Li Su's expression kept changing, he pointed at Jia Rong and said: "You..."
Dong Zhuo stood up and laughed and said: "Zhiyuan's words are serious. Now Yuan Shao and other rebels are attacking Luoyang and bullying the Holy One. This is the time when you and I are resisting together. Why bother fighting over trivial matters? I will give Zhiyuan two thousand soldiers."
Horse, how about guarding Hulao Pass?"
"Don't back down yet." Dong Zhuo shouted at Li Su sternly.
Jia Rong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much for your understanding, Grand Master. I despise my position and swear to defend Hulao Pass to the death to prevent the Kwantung Allied Forces from entering the pass."
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Zhiyuan, there is no need to be polite!"
As for what he said to the Holy Emperor, it was not Dong Zhuo who had the final say. Jia Rong did not point it out. He cupped his fists and said, "If nothing happens, I will resign first." After saying this, he hurried out of the house with Zhao Yun and others.
No matter how beautiful the Taishi Mansion is, Jia Rong is not in the mood to take another look.
Returning to General Hussar's Mansion, Jia Rongcai breathed a sigh of relief. It was undeniable that Dong Zhuo had murderous intentions when he called him there today.
"Instruct Gao Shun to guard Hangu Pass. The door cannot be opened without my order," Jia Rong said.
Now that Hangu Pass has fallen into his hands, he will not let it go easily. The eighteen princes came for Dong Zhuo. He couldn't help but Dong Zhuo didn't work hard. But why did Li Ru not show up? This question has been lingering in Jia Rong's mind.
, "Could it be that Li Ru is doing something shady?" A thought like this flashed through Jia Rong's mind.
The merchants in Luoyang were unlucky, but Xianlian Pavilion did not suffer any losses. With the protection of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to let Xianlian Pavilion go. Many merchants took the opportunity to seek refuge in Xianlian Pavilion.
After Su Shuang told Jia Rong about this, Jia Rong thought for a while and then agreed. If you make friends with these businessmen, you will have another way to make a fortune. You will inevitably associate with these businessmen in the future.
"My lord, the entire Yuan family was escorted to the streets by Dong Zhuo's troops and prepared to be beheaded." After Jia Xu got the news, he hurried over.
Jia Rong nodded and said: "I already know about this. It will always be a disaster for the Yuan family to stay. It would be better to kill him as soon as possible."
The princes of Guandong cannot last long. Seeing that Hulao Pass has strong troops and sufficient food and grass, they will definitely not talk about war lightly. Then it will become a tug of war. Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo are both based in Liangzhou. Luoyang was messed up by Dong Zhuo.
Without food and grass, the army will collapse in an instant. They can afford it, but Jia Rong cannot.
Dong Zhuo's killing of Yuan Wei was just enough to arouse Yuan Shao's anger. The Yuan family was far from as peaceful as it seemed.
If the coalition forces cooperate inside and outside, the battle will become more difficult.
Although killing Yuan Wei will put himself and Dong Zhuo on opposite sides of the world, it is what he has to do now. Jia Rong is somewhat considerate of Dong Zhuo's historical practice of killing the Yuan family. Luoyang has such an unstable factor
, how could Dong Zhuo rush to Hulao Pass with peace of mind.
Luoyang is a place of right and wrong. After Xu Shu captures Chang'an, the Xiliang army will retreat. But before that, Jia Rong doesn't mind getting to know the nobles of Guandong. Meeting the heroes of the world will not be a waste of his life.
After leaving the affairs of Luoyang to Jia Xu, he asked the Holy Emperor for orders the next day. Jia Rong led a thousand soldiers and horses to Hulao Pass, and Zhang Wei led 3,000 infantry to Chenggao Pass. Even if there was a change in Luoyang
, Jia Rong will not be trapped in Hulao Pass.
Originally there were 1,000 people in the pass, plus the more than 2,000 people brought by Lu Bu and others, it was enough to lead 1,000 people.
Zhang Zhi was left by Jia Rong to protect Jia Xu's safety. More than ten lone wolf soldiers had been placed in the Cai Mansion to protect the Cai family's father and daughter. With the protection of these ten people, even a hundred soldiers would not be able to come.
Get benefits.
Thinking of Cai Yan, Jia Rong felt a little sorry for her. The wedding day was approaching, but something like this happened. However, the two of them had already settled their affairs, and getting married was only a matter of time. Regarding his marriage to Cai Yan,
Not only did Wei Fu not blame her, there was a hint of encouragement in the letter she sent, which greatly cheered up Jia Rong. Women in ancient times were good.
Under the influence of the aristocratic family, rumors about Dong Zhuo and Jiarong's longevity spread all over the city.
Outside Luoyang City, Jia Rong, who was dressed in gold armor, was blinded by the light reflected by the early morning sun. The war horse beneath him also felt that the war was coming, and walked steadily among the soldiers, as if they were reviewing.
A carriage sped out of the city, about two stone's throw away from the Xiliang army, and slowly stopped.
Cai Yan, dressed in pure white clothes, leaned out of the carriage and wanted to jump off regardless of the height of the carriage.
The maid behind him hurriedly grabbed him.
Surrounded by several maids, Cai Yan came to Jia Rong and looked at Jia Rong quietly with red eyes.
Jia Rong leaned down and dismounted, looked at Cai Yan lovingly, patted her shoulder and said, "Yan'er, don't be afraid, I just went to Hulao Pass for a look, and I'll be back in a few days."
Cai Yan covered his face with his hands and began to cry. As he cried, he said: "Everyone in the city said that Big Brother is a bad person. They also said that when the coalition forces come in, everyone related to Big Brother will suffer. Is this true?
Brother."
Jia Rong gently held Cai Yan in his arms and said with a smile: "Yan'er, you can't believe what those people say. You and the teacher will be fine. I will marry you when I come back, and then we will go back to Jincheng, okay?"
Cai Yan's crying gradually stopped and she said in a choked tone: "Well, Yan'er will be waiting for big brother. Yan'er hasn't been to Jincheng yet. I heard the businessmen in the city said it is a beautiful place."
Looking at the pitiful collection and red tickets, Duanya couldn't help shouting: "Please give me some reds!" No matter how much rewards you get, these things are good things to stimulate Duanya to update more.
