After cleaning the battlefield, Jia Rong looked thoughtful. After a brief confrontation, three of the crossbows were damaged, and countless soldiers were injured. If they can't adapt, Hulao Pass will not be able to defend it.
At this time, Jia Rong thought of the battle method of combining infantry and cavalry during the Battle of Pingxiang. It was a good idea to give it a try. There were 100,000 allied troops, a cloud of generals, and a rain of counselors. There must be endless ways to attack the city. Pingxiang
Although the defensive battle was successful, many soldiers were wounded by our own cavalry.
The city wall of Hulao Pass is about three feet thick and can accommodate two horses riding side by side. To be safe, Jia Rong decided to ride alone to kill the enemy. However, there were many strategists in the coalition, so this method could not be used multiple times, otherwise the tiger would
The prison may be breached because of your own cleverness.
The coalition's well gate was damaged and they did not attack the city for three consecutive days. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Rong reinforced Hulao Pass again.
These three days have exhausted the 60 medical teams sent by Hua Yu. They kept running around the camp. Hua Yu's eldest disciple had not slept for three consecutive days and nights. There were too many injured soldiers, 60 of them.
It took three days of treatment before all the wounded soldiers were properly treated.

The sixty-member medical team only did the simplest dressing of wounds and pulled out the arrows of the wounded soldiers, but it gave Jia Rong a lot of military morale. It is very rare for a general to care so much about soldiers. Soldiers also know how to repay kindness.
, in an era when soldiers were as humble as dogs, a small concern was enough for the big-headed soldier to remember him for a lifetime.
In order to appease the morale of the army, Jia Rong walked between the various barracks and visited the injured soldiers. Zhao Yun and Lu Bu never left his side. Among these soldiers were many of the soldiers who had surrendered from the Bingzhou Army. If they had evil intentions, they would do something extreme.
, which was a huge blow to the soldiers guarding the border.
There are only a very small number of soldiers who are loyal to Ding Yuan. The soldiers' philosophy is very simple. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for whoever treats them well. The injured soldiers will not forget that it was Jia Rong who came with the doctor to treat them.
I will never forget that it was Jia Rong who came to visit them again and again, and compared with the generals of his headquarters, they were able to distinguish themselves, and the military's morale gradually moved closer to the Xiliang army.
Some injured soldiers may never be able to go to the battlefield again, and can only contribute silently in the rear. Whether they are Dong Jun soldiers or Xiliang Jun, Jia Rong promised to find them a suitable job after the victory, so that they can work on the battlefield.
The hero will not worry about living.
Many injured soldiers burst into tears when they heard the words "battlefield hero". They were humble people who always thought that the word hero belonged to big people and heroes. When this word came out of Jia Rong's mouth calmly, they were moved.
It reveals the inferiority and longing deep in the hearts of soldiers.
"Hua Li, you have worked hard during this time." Jia Rong patted Hua Li on the shoulder and said.
Hua Li hurriedly leaned over and said, "Thank you, General, for your concern. This is what a villain should do."
During this time, Jia Rong admired Hua Yu, his nominal disciple. It is said that this person's previous surname was Liu. After studying under Hua Yu, he followed the surname Hua and his work was more worldly than Hua Yu's.
Hao Meng, Cao Xing and other generals believed that Jia Rong was just pretending to express condolences to the injured soldiers. Only Zhang Liao looked thoughtful after seeing what Jia Rong did, and then led his soldiers to follow the same example of condolences to the soldiers under his command.
How to make soldiers sincerely work for you on the battlefield? It is difficult to do it with just a few righteous words, otherwise there will be no deserters.
"It's not about the number of soldiers but about the quality of the soldiers." The biggest reason why the Xiliang Army can repeatedly turn the tide of the battle despite being at a disadvantage and defeat powerful opponents is that the soldiers are dedicated and the soldiers are united. Only in this way can a team not be defeated by a small enemy.
Falling apart due to setbacks.
Among the generals, there are only a handful of generals who can really achieve this step like Jia Rong, including the generals of the Xiliang Army. Although the relationship between the generals is very good, there is always some resistance in the heart towards the North-South Army and the Bingzhou Army who later joined. Jia Rong
The existence of Rong tightly connects the hearts of all soldiers.
Compared with the good treatment of the soldiers inside the pass, the coalition soldiers outside the pass suffered much worse. Among the 30,000 siege soldiers who finally retreated to the camp, 10 out of 10 were wounded. The wounds of the soldiers who were poured with hot oil quickly fester. Every day
Soldiers on night watch at Hulao Gate could hear bursts of desolate howls coming from the coalition camp.
The soldiers on patrol at night were secretly grateful. At least they could receive treatment for their injuries. Jia Rong's promise to some soldiers had already spread among the soldiers in Guan. Many soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who had defected to Dong's army began to look for fellow soldiers in the Xiliang Army to wait for the opportunity.
change.
Since surrendering to Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao has been highly regarded, and his status is as high as that of Niu Fu, Fan Chou and other veteran generals in Dong's army.
Zhang Liao gathered Dong Jun's generals and discussed Jia Rong's condolences to the soldiers for nearly an hour. His sensitivity was much stronger than that of Niu Fu and others.
During the period at Hulao Pass, the Xiliang Army was more powerful than Dong's Army, but now that Zhang Liao and others are asked to mobilize soldiers, I am afraid more people will obey Jia Rong's orders. Invisibly, the hearts of all the soldiers are concentrated on Jia Rong.
These generals could not help but ignore this situation. As time went by, the entire team only took orders from Jia Rong, and they became mere commanders.
Just like Hulao Shun, Jia Rong can make soldiers obey an order without too many words.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhang Liao on the one hand wrote to Dong Zhuo and on the other hand summoned the generals in the army to discuss countermeasures.
"General Zhang's words are too exaggerated. Jia Rong's little tricks are, well, they can win over the morale of the army. If we weren't worried about the hundreds of thousands of princes' troops outside, we and the state army could take his life." Hao Meng said disdainfully.
said.

Zhang Liao shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. This is a military camp. If Jia Rong learns of these words, I'm afraid we will be in danger."
Hao Meng still disagreed. Among the generals of the Bingzhou Army, Zhang Liao was the best among them all. He was highly regarded by Dong Zhuo. Hao Meng had such a slight resistance to him in his heart that he couldn't see anyone being more important than him. On weekdays,
Li also obeyed and violated Zhang Liao's orders.
In terms of martial arts, the two Hao Meng are no match for Zhang Liao, and in terms of strategy, Hao Meng is no match for Zhang Liao. This time, Dong Zhuo entrusted Zhang Liao with important tasks. All matters, no matter how big or small, can only be implemented with Zhang Liao's consent. Since then,
Hao Meng's affection for Zhang Liao instantly dropped to its lowest point.
Niu Fu nodded and said: "General Zhang's words are reasonable. Jia Rong was once under the Imperial Master and finally left. In just a few years, he has become what he is today. Moreover, even if the Xiliang Army's combat strength is
The grand master also praised him many times." Thinking of the stirrups and horseshoes of the Xiliang army, Niu Fu's awe for Jia Rong deepened a lot. The existence of stirrups allowed the cavalry to better adapt to the battlefield.
"He's just a traitor general." Cao Xing snorted coldly.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Niu Fu and Fan Chou shouted in unison.
Jia Rong was once known as the most powerful general in Dong Zhuo's army. He won the hearts of the army regardless of his martial arts or strategy. Although he has been away for a long time, if these words are spread, it will definitely cause waves. Don't look at Dong Jun and
The Xiliang army is usually at war with each other, and the two armies are also disconnected.
Niu Fu and Fan Chou were both old men in the army, and among them Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Hao Meng and Cao Xing were highly regarded in front of Dong Zhuo, but they did not dare to be presumptuous and promised him repeatedly.
"Mr. Li, what do you think?" Niu Fu turned his attention to Li Su.
Since arriving at Hulao Pass, Li Su has been taciturn and rarely expresses his opinions. Niu Fu and Fan Chou, who are familiar with his character, dare not underestimate him. How can a person valued by Dong Zhuo be a simple person?
Li Su stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Jia Rong is just a traitor. There are General Zhang Niu and others in Kuang Hulao Pass. There will be no mistakes. The current matter is to repel the Guandong princes. Jia
Rong won't do anything stupid."
"Go ahead and tell the princes to let the soldiers protect their lives if they attack again."
Li Su's words were very cryptic, but the generals present who had not rolled down from the battlefield naturally understood the meaning of his words and nodded in agreement.
In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo looked thoughtful after reading the news reported by various soldiers and horses. The place where the coalition of princes gathered the most troops was Hulao Pass, so Dong Zhuo sent more than 10,000 troops at once to assist Jia Rong.
Guard the gate.
The more important ones are Mengjin Pass and Xiaopingjin. If these two are lost, the princes can still attack the city. When Luoyang is besieged, it means Dong Zhuo's demise. Nowadays, there are frequent wars between Pingjin and Mengjin, and the coalition's offensive is very fierce.
"Xian son-in-law, what do you think about the incident in Hulao Pass?" Dong Zhuo turned his attention to Li Ru.
In recent times, Li Ru's status in the army has plummeted, Li Su has been rising steadily, Dong Zhuo has reused Li Su, and Dong Zhuo's army has newly merged Bingzhou Army and too many soldiers from the North and South armies, and Li Ru has no influence on the original Dong Army.
The soldiers were so afraid.
On the other hand, although Li Ru was not reused, he still followed the rules. He usually did things without leakage and did not give anyone any excuses. Unless Dong Zhuo summoned him for important matters, he was basically in the palace. Unlike Li Su, who was afraid of the whole Luoyang after being entrusted with important tasks.
No one knows that the most important thing to do every day is to walk around Luoyang City, which gives people the feeling that they have become unstoppable.
The situation in Luoyang was critical. Dong Zhuo's first thought was not Li Su but Li Ru. In his heart, Li Ru was the military think tank, otherwise Li Su would not have been sent to Hulao Pass.
Li Ru analyzed the situation at Hulao Pass in detail with Dong Zhuo, and finally sighed: "If Hulao Pass can be defended, I'm afraid all the soldiers in the pass belong to Jia Rong."
Dong Zhuo was surprised and asked, "What do you mean by this, a wise son-in-law?"
Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jia Rong's methods of winning people's hearts are hard to guard against. Generals Hua Xiong and Guo Si are not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Xiliang Army now. How many of our soldiers in the past would obey the Lord's orders?"

"Wen You teach me." Dong Zhuo also panicked. There were more than 15,000 Dong Jun soldiers in Hulao Pass. If these people turned against each other, it would have a great impact on Dong Zhuo's status in Luoyang.
