Shen Pei's face changed slightly. Judging from Jia Rong's tone yesterday, he wanted to have peace talks with the Jizhou Army. How did it end up like this when he became the person in front of him? Moreover, there was a feeling in Jia Xu's tone that it was difficult to get close to him.
, especially Jia Xu’s eyes, even people like Shen Pei dare not look directly at them. Even when facing Yuan Shao, there is no such pressure.
"Sir, do you think the Jizhou Army is easy to bully?" There was some anger in Shen Pei's tone. Anyone who was teased like this would not be in a good mood.
"Humph, at the beginning the coalition army of more than 300,000 people could not break through Hangu Pass, which was guarded by tens of thousands of people. What's more, now, the Xiliang Army has more than 100,000 elite troops, and the entire army is dispatched. I wonder which prince in the world can resist it." Jia Xu disagreed.
said.
He didn't say anything speculative. Shen Pei came to discuss the strike with Jia Rong, not to argue about which side's troops are more powerful. "My lord, I want to see the general. Please inform me."
"The general is so busy with his affairs that he doesn't have much time to worry about these little things, so I will do it for him. The general said that he wants both parties to reconcile and cede Guangyang County and Shanggu County." Jia Xu said.
Shen Pei's expression kept changing. If this was Jia Rong's intention, the negotiation would be meaningless. The Jizhou Army dispatched 100,000 men for half a year. Could it be that the Xiliang Army had to pay such a price because of the strike?
, since then, it is better to continue fighting this battle.
"Sir, are you sincere?" Shen Pei said through gritted teeth.
Jia Xu sneered and said: "Of course, you can send someone to inform Yuan Shao that as long as he is willing to cede Guangyang County and Shanggu County, the Xiliang Army will not be in trouble. Don't forget that Yuan Shao owed the Xiliang Army a large sum of food and grass.
At this point, the principal and interest may have doubled."
The judge was at a loss for words. The fact that Jizhou owed Jia Rong food and grass was not a secret among the upper echelons of Jizhou, but the counselors who planned to leave were a little disapproving of it. This was just a rip-off. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu brought it up at this moment.
"The matter of food and grass, I will mention it to my lord after I return home. Lord Jushu was ordered to send an envoy to the Xiliang army before, why has he not returned yet? Please give me an explanation."
"Hmph, it's a joke. When did the Xiliang Army need to explain what they did? If the Jizhou Army can defeat the Xiliang Army in an honest and fair manner, it would be reasonable not to call it an explanation, but even an apology." Jia Xu said disdainfully.
Shen Pei's expression kept changing. In Jia Xu's words, big fists are the most important thing. His meaning is very simple. As long as you defeat others on the battlefield, you can win respect. Although this is not in line with etiquette, who made Shen Pei now?
I was begging others to do things, so I had no choice but to hold on.
"My lord, I wonder if you can represent the general?" Shen Pei asked, staring at Jia Xu with bright eyes, as if he wanted to find the answer on Jia Xu's face.
"Hahaha, you are the first person who dares to talk to me like this." Jia Xu laughed.
After leaving the tent, Shen Pei asked the guards outside the tent: "Who was in the tent just now? How could he have such a loud tone?"
"Master Shen, he is Master Jia, the military advisor."
"Is it him?" The judge's eyes tightened. This Master Jia must be Jia Xu. There are two Jia in the Xiliang Army, the coach Jia Rong and the military advisor Jia Xu. The two of them joined forces to form the current Xiliang Army.
Jia Rong left the battlefield in Youzhou and handed over all major affairs to Jia Xu and Guo Jia. With these two in charge of the war in Youzhou, Jia Rong was relieved. His generals and counselors needed constant experience before they could be on their own.
I think when Xu Shu first debuted, there were a lot of things he didn't understand, and he gradually became a core figure in the Xiliang Army.
The judge could not find Jia Rong, so he had to negotiate with Jia Xu. The cavalry in the rear of the Jizhou army caused heavy losses in Jizhou's food and grass, so he had to compromise.
After constant negotiations, the Jizhou Army was finally willing to cede Shanggu County, and the food and grass owed to the Xiliang Army would not be repaid. When withdrawing, the Jizhou Army naturally looted and took away everything they could in the city.
The city of Xuzhou has become somewhat precarious. Liu Bei used thunderous means to wipe out the families in the city who were leaning towards Cao Jun. Especially since Cao Cao's army had nearly 500 tigers and leopards left in the previous battle, Cao Cao did not dare to underestimate the defenders in the city.
There was no one to respond from the city, so Cao Jun had no choice but to attack by force. Thunderbolt chariots bombarded each city gate day and night. Not only Cao Jun had thunderbolt chariots, but Xuzhou Army also had them. After the war that year, the princes saw the power of thunderbolt chariots.
, naturally followed suit one after another, every prince would have some inventory in his hands, and Liu Bei also used the moves that Jia Rong had used before, throwing oil and attacking with fire, which made Cao's army quite embarrassed.
This also completely aroused Cao Cao's anger. He thought that after more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, he had never encountered such an embarrassing situation. In anger, the army attacked day and night. The northwest corner of Xuzhou City was already in front of the Thunderbolt Chariot.
During the attack, a path collapsed, allowing three or four soldiers to pass through, and it became the main attack site for Cao's army.
In order to protect this section of the city wall, Liu Bei invested thousands of troops. There was not much food and grass in the city. Not only did the army need to eat, but the people in the city also needed to live. The city was besieged, and many people lost their source of livelihood. Even if they had money, they could not survive.
It was difficult to buy rice and grain in the market. The price of grain and grass in the city skyrocketed for a while. In the past, one stone of grain could be purchased, but now one had to pay nearly three times the price. Faced with this situation, Liu Bei had no choice.
It is difficult to cook without rice. The Xuzhou army has limited food and grass and cannot sustain it for a long time, so it can only put the people aside.
Businessmen are ruthless and dare to do anything for the sake of profit, and the same is true for aristocratic families. The situation in the city allows aristocratic families to see business opportunities, hoard grain and grass, and secretly manipulate the prices of grain and rice.
Forced by hunger, many people took desperate risks and robbed grain and rice shops. Thefts often occurred. However, the methods of aristocratic families were extremely cruel. They would kill all such thieves. Some aristocratic families even hung the bodies of thieves on grain stores.
Outside the rice shop, there is a warning sign.
Liu Bei secretly ordered his soldiers to collect grain and grass from the aristocratic families in the city, but only got three hundred stones of grain and grass. His Natural Way family had a rich family fortune. On a dark and windy night, one after another teams of hundreds of people appeared in the aristocratic family.
middle.
The aristocratic families in Xuzhou were panicked. Among the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, the strongest ones were the Cao family and the Chen family and the Mi family. There were many small aristocratic families. Liu Bei's behavior shocked them and they hurriedly sent half of the food and grass in the family to Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei sneered. If he didn't use thunderous means, these aristocratic families would not be willing to send food and grass. He felt a little pleasure in his heart. He took off his face of justice and could get so many things. No wonder the Xiliang Army General Manager
It doesn't matter what the world thinks.
Zhang Fei even took the initiative to assume the role of bandit leader and continued to lead the soldiers to work at night.
The people were hungry and the aristocratic families were panicked. Under such circumstances, with some provocation, a team of common people and merchants was quickly formed to welcome Cao Jun into the city. The real power was the people, not the aristocratic families.
Tens of thousands of people rioted together, even if the soldiers and horses in the city tried their best to suppress it, it had no effect.
When Liu Bei received the news, Cao Jun had already entered the city. Under Cao Cao's strict orders, the soldiers did not commit any crimes and even ordered the opening of granaries to release grain, which won a lot of popular support.
In a hurry, Liu Guanzhang led thousands of troops out of the city to join Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and completely withdrew from the Xuzhou stage. Because of Cao Cao, Liu Bei first lost Yuzhou, and then Xuzhou. You can imagine the hatred in his heart for Cao Jun.
, but without strength, all the anger can only be suppressed in the heart. In today's world, strength is respected. Without enough strength, you cannot win the respect of others, even if you have the title of royal family member on your head, it is no exception.
After occupying Xuzhou, Cao Cao immediately opened the city gates and restored the normal life of the people. Three meals a day still required the efforts of the people themselves. Under the power of thunder, no aristocratic family dared to raise the price of food, although it was higher than the previous price.
It's a little better, but it's many times better than when Liu Bei was there.
Liu Biao settled Liu Bei in Xinye and paid him food and grass, but he did not do anything to add insult to injury. There were not many people in Xinye City, and it was the front line of Cao Jun's attack on Jingzhou. Liu Bei and Cao Cao had a deep hatred, so Liu Biao could stop him.
Enemy, kill two birds with one stone.
After the stability of the Central Plains was restored and Cao Cao's fierce tiger calmed down, the battle between Sun Ce and Liu Biao came to an end. The battles between the two sides were basically on the river. Jiangxia was well guarded and it was difficult for Jiangdong's army to capture. Both sides suffered casualties.
Everyone stopped their troops.
After making peace with the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao left 30,000 troops to guard Yuyang County, Zhuo County and Guangyang County, withdrew his troops and rushed back to Jizhou, but deployed heavy troops in the cities along the way to guard against the Xiliang Army.
It was a dark and windy night, and it was the time to kill people. In the city of Ji County, dozens of black shadows appeared at the city gate. With the help of the general, the city gate creaked open, and the cavalry swarmed into the city. The soldiers
The front was pointed directly at the county governor's house.
The next day, the banner of the Xiliang Army flew on the city. The people were somewhat accustomed to this. Except for the different topics of conversation after dinner, there was no difference. On the contrary, the Xiliang Army was able to rule Yuyang. For them,
Even better, people all over the world know that the Xiliang army is under good rule.
Yuan Shao was furious and vented his anger on Shen Pei. It was he who negotiated with the Xiliang army and ceded Shanggu County. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the Xiliang army attacked Jixian and lost Guangyang County.
, half a year of hard work went into vain, one can imagine how I feel.
Shen Pei was not aggrieved. Yesterday he was a hero of the Jizhou Army. In the blink of an eye, he was imprisoned and became a criminal. The huge gap between before and after made many officials eager to draw a clear line with Shen Pei.
There are indeed many talents under Yuan Shao's command, but there are only a few people who are trusted by Yuan Shao. Xu You is one, but he is greedy and jealous of talents. When he encounters those who are stronger than him, he wants to take them down. Tian Feng
He is a great talent, but because of his personality, he is often resented by Yuan Shao. Such talents are destined not to be reused. A little provocation by villains can make Yuan Shao angry and send him to prison. Jushou and Tian Feng have roughly the same personalities, but after many years of
The hard work caused him to lose his edges and become a bit smooth, but he still supported Tian Feng in his heart.
It’s the holidays. Whether you are at home or not, please call home. I wish all readers a smooth career and harmonious family in the new year.
