However, within half a month, the Xiliang army changed its strategy and directly occupied the two counties of Shanggu and Guangyang. This shows Jia Xu's methods. It is said that Yuan Shao has deployed layers of troops in Guangyang County. No matter how powerful Jia Xu is,
It was impossible to occupy it in half a month, but he did it. Everyone in the Xiliang army admired him for this. Invisibly, no one could shake Jia Xu's position in the Xiliang army.
The land under the rule of the Xiliang Army expanded to two states, three counties and one Chang'an. Compared with its heyday, the land had once again increased. After the Battle of Hangu Pass, the Xiliang Army gradually showed its sharp fangs.
Standing still and restoring people's production was the last order given by Jia Rong. Yan Rou had been operating in Youzhou for several years. Jia Rong did not want to have a situation where the soldiers were exhausted because of fighting with him. With the three counties of Youzhou and Wu
With the support of the Huan people, it is only a matter of time to pacify Youzhou, and there is no rush. However, even if Yan Rou and Yuan Shao are unwilling, it will be even more difficult to seize the three counties from the Xiliang army.
Naturally, the changes in Youzhou did not go unnoticed by Yan Rou. In a hurry, he dispatched a large army at the border of Yuyang County, fearing that the Xiliang Army would take the opportunity to capture Youzhou. In these battles, the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army have been fighting on the border.
Fighting, and Weilan in Daijun didn't know what happened to him. Yan Rou couldn't believe such a foreigner, not to mention that the Xiliang army had already captured Guangyang County and Shanggu County. The outcome of Daijun can be imagined, faintly
There are rumors that Weilan has defected to the Xiliang army.
What Yan Rou is thinking about now is how to find an ally. When the princes gathered for an alliance, he and Liu Bei got along quite well, but now that Liu Bei is in the Central Plains and has been beaten into a drowned dog by Cao Cao, there is no time to take care of him. Besides,
There are only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao openly attacked Youzhou before, and Yan Rou didn't have any good impressions of him, not to mention Cao Cao. Don't have the face to attack each other with Liu Bei on the way of the army's retreat.
"General, the general has not come with his army, why are you so worried? If you are not at ease, why not send someone to test it out." The counselor said.
Yan Rou sighed and said: "The Xiliang army took Guangyang County and Shanggu County with thunderous force, which are adjacent to our army. Judging from Jia Rong's past style of doing things, the two armies will have a battle sooner or later. No matter
If we had prepared in advance."
The counselor nodded in agreement, but he didn't have any good strategies.
Liu He was in Youzhou, but he didn't feel any sense of crisis, even when Yuan Shao's army was approaching. When Yan Rou sent someone to the Han Emperor to tell him that he wanted him to go back and serve as the shepherd of Youzhou, he was extremely happy.
, I didn’t expect that it would be like this after I came back. Youzhou was almost Yan Rou’s talk house. Thinking of the Han Emperor’s words before leaving, I was full of a sense of loss. Over time, I was immersed in a wealthy life, with fine clothes and fine food every day, and no need to go out.
Accompanying her everywhere, with beautiful maids and maids by her side, her life is quite relaxed, as if she has entrusted everything in Youzhou to Yan Rou, no matter what.
After Xian Yufu failed to defend Guangyang County, he returned to Wuzhong County to guard against the Jizhou Army. Xian Yufu did not do as much as Yan Rou thought. The reason why Xiliang Army sent troops was not invited by Yan Rou, but now he actually wanted to
Whether it is defense or fighting, if it is spread out, it would be ridiculous.
After receiving Yan Rou's order, Xian Yufu was quite dissatisfied.
Jia Rong left his troops to guard the three counties of Bingzhou and Youzhou, and returned to Chang'an. After leaving for half a year, Chang'an has changed a lot. A stable Chang'an is what many businessmen are happy to see. They have places to spend their money and places to spend their money.
People are making money and coming and going in an endless stream. In Chang'an City, there is no atmosphere of troubled times at all. It seems to be a peaceful and prosperous age.
The common people, merchants, officials and soldiers walking on the streets have a spiritual outlook that few can match in the whole world. Officials are paid well, and soldiers are very popular among the people. As for the people, they have work to do, don't have to worry about food and drink, and can even
Save some money for household expenses, live a prosperous life, be full of energy, and the bustling city of Chang'an is full of vitality.
Jia Rong refused to go out of the city to greet the officials in the city and walked into Chang'an in an ordinary carriage.
The loving wife and son at home make him feel warm and enjoy the happiness of family.
Mi Huan, Cai Yan, Wei Fu, Cai Lingxiu'er heard that Jia Rong was back, and they all got together. Jia Rong was going out to fight. This was the thing that affected the hearts of these girls the most. On the battlefield, swords and guns were ruthless. In their hearts, they didn't want Jia Rong.
Going to the battlefield.
After comforting his five beautiful wives with kind words, Jia Rong ordered his servants to serve wine and food. In the military, drinking is strictly prohibited. Although Jia Rong has some privileges, it is not good to go there with a shy face every time.
It's against the law, and the food in the army is not very good. There is no such variety as Chang'an.
In his spare time, Jia Rong began to think about the development route of the Xiliang Army. There is no doubt that the Xiliang Army has elite troops.
The enemy has a raging army and a den of generals. The quality of the officers is infinitely better than that of the princes of the Central Plains. After being trained by the academy, not to mention that everyone is a good fighter, there is still no problem in dealing with ordinary wars.
Just like before, they would lead people to kill at every turn, regardless of the life and death of the lower-level soldiers. Moreover, the Xiliang Army's battle requires generals to learn to command, not to rush to kill. After the main general is killed, there will be deputy generals, one level at a time.
Decreasing, this model can, to a certain extent, allow the army to stay on the battlefield without collapsing, and will not lead to the death of the commander and the collapse of the entire army.
Economically, the support of Xianlian Pavilion is already slightly insufficient. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops to support, and the daily expenses and salaries are very large. Especially this year, the Xiliang Army launched a war for more than half a year.
During the war, the warehouse became empty, and we could not make ends meet every day. We relied on the power of the Mi family and the Wei family to stabilize the situation. We originally expected to be able to support the war for one year, but we did not expect that the consumption of the war was too huge, and we had to stop it.
The idea of completely occupying Youzhou.
Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of money. Yes, it was RMB. He had exchanged ten RMB for the Qingzhi Sword.
, nothing more than gold and five baht coins. Five baht coins are too heavy and extremely inconvenient to carry. There are also some items that are bartered. The things you like can be exchanged for items of equal value. This method is used when the city is besieged.
It was very applicable when I had money because I couldn’t spend it at that time.
Now the Xiliang army has occupied Chang'an, two counties, three counties of Youzhou and three cities on the grassland. There are countless merchants trading with them. The daily tax alone is a huge amount. They come to Chang'an to do business.
Jia Rong will definitely not allow merchants to make so much money for no reason. When entering the city, taxes must be paid according to the items.
After the issuance of banknotes, it became easier for merchants to carry them, and it became much easier for people to go shopping on the streets. They no longer had to carry a bag of grain or a load of firewood when going down the street.
As the owner of the banknotes, the profits for the Xiliang Army will also be huge. They can use their spare money to buy grain, iron and other materials, then process them into weapons in the craftsman's workshop, sell them to merchants, and earn the price difference.
It's not as simple as one plus one equals two. Money will definitely make money faster, and after this economic model is fixed, the profits will be even greater. The businessmen who flock to it will make the Xiliang army not because of
Due to the war, there was a shortage of food and fodder.
Just as he said, Jia Rong summoned two brothers, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li, to discuss the issuance of banknotes by the Xiliang Army. Even with Zhang Zhao's calmness, after hearing this plan, he couldn't help but praise the plan.
Issuing banknotes is a shocking move. If it succeeds, the issuer will leave his name in history and be remembered by future generations.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li took over the task of banknotes and were responsible for the specific affairs of the production and issuance of banknotes.
Seeing that the Xiliang Army had no intention of fighting and stood still, Yan Rou was completely relieved and continued to develop Youzhou's strength. At this time, he did not know that Weilan had chosen to join the Xiliang Army and that the Wuhuan people under his command might become
He is a person who rebels against his will, but rumors about Weilan have already spread in Youzhou.
Jia Xu found Weilan and ordered him to secretly send a message to Yan Rou, saying that he needed the support of a large army. He expected that Yan Rou would not have any doubts. Then with the help of the Wuhuan people, the Xiliang army might be able to defeat him in one battle.
There was no end to the attack, and then the army was sent to Youbeiping. At this time, Yan Rou only had the land of two counties. After losing Youbeiping, it became a corner, supporting tens of thousands of troops with the land of one county, how could it be invincible?
For this reason, Jia Xu wanted Yan Rou to completely lose the qualification to dominate the world, withdraw from the stage of history, and make the world one less prince.
The current situation is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the strength of the Xiliang Army far exceeds that of the Qin Dynasty back then. The possibility of unifying the world has become extremely high.
Jia Rong returned to Chang'an, but Jia Xu had a strong fighting spirit. For Jia Rong's great cause, no matter how much he paid, he would not hesitate. The Xiliang army in Guangyang County only had more than 10,000 people. Jia Xu's
It is these ten thousand people who rely on it.
Sure enough, after Yan Rou received Weilan's letter asking for help, she just questioned it and sent an army to Wu Ending to respond. In any case, Weilan was a general of the Youzhou Army and had a high reputation among the Wuhuan people.
Prestige, his return will make the Wuhuan people return home even more.
In his letter, Weilan also belittled the Xiliang army, saying that they were occupying the city as reinforcements and not returning them, which actually won him a lot of favor from Yan Rou.
Naturally, the Wuhuan people were among the troops that Wujiang was supporting. Now Yan Rou had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 people were Wuhuan people. Even if he didn't want to send the Wuhuan people, there was nothing he could do.
After arriving at Wujiu, Weilan secretly contacted the Wuhuan people in the city and secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night. Wujiu fell into the hands of the Xiliang army. Most of the Youzhou troops who defended the city surrendered, and only a small number of them fled back to Yanrou in embarrassment.
at.
After this battle, the number of Youzhou troops surrendered reached 20,000, and Yan Rou's strength plummeted.
It’s the New Year. Whether you have money or not, you can go home to celebrate the New Year. If you really can’t come back from other places, remember to call your family and wish everyone a happy New Year!
