Hearing that with the help of Wei Lan, the Xiliang army had occupied Wu End, Yan Rou was furious and fell ill in bed. The generals in the army came to visit one after another.
Yan Rou gritted her teeth and said: "Kill all the Wuhuan people among the generals. I finally know why Gongsun Zan only killed the Wuhuan people without surrendering. They are a group of shameless villains who are capricious and will not regret death. From now on,
Whenever I see a Wuhuan person, I will kill them without mercy."
Yan Rou has absolute prestige and strength in Youzhou. His words are basically more applicable than Liu He. Naturally, the generals in the army did not dare to violate them and followed them one after another. For a time, the people in the Youzhou army were panicked, especially the defeated generals.
They didn't know if Yan Rou's next military order would be to execute them.
Youbeiping County fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army within a month. Even Guo Jia could not help but admire Jia Xu when he saw that Jia Xu was able to defeat the Youzhou Army with more than 10,000 troops and occupy Youbeiping.
When Jia Rong of Chang'an learned that Youbeiping County had been occupied by generals sent by Jia Xu, he was overjoyed. He rewarded the army with fine wine and summoned Guo Jia back.
Gradually, there are already five counties in Youzhou that belong to the Xiliang Army. Yan Rou can only live in Liaoxi County, while Liaodong County is Gongsun Kang's territory and has always been at odds with the Youzhou Army. Jia Rong will not worry.
Yan Rou defected to them, and then continued to fight against the Xiliang army. The vast grassland was also Jia Rong's territory. It can be said that Yan Rou is now a turtle in the urn, with nowhere to go. The only choice is to wait quietly for death or surrender.
Seeing the fierce offensive of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao of Jizhou was also frightened. He didn't expect that Jia Rong would get in touch with the Wuhuan people and took the opportunity to turn against them.
At first, he failed to resist the Xiliang army and lost two counties. In terms of military strength, Yuan Shao did not think that the Jizhou army was weak. He had occupied it for many years and won more than he lost. Yuan Shao was full of confidence. However, when facing the Xiliang army, he had a problem.
A fear that comes from the heart.
In Chang'an City, Jia Rong was in a good mood. He put on casual clothes and walked around Chang'an City. He looked at the bustling market and thought about the desolation of the border counties. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "When all cities can be like Chang'an, why?"
I worry that the world cannot be settled."
The market in Chang'an is almost crowded with businessmen from all over the Central Plains. There are snacks and restaurants from all over the Central Plains. In order to make a profit, businessmen come all the way to Chang'an, rent rooms at high prices, and open their doors for business. Of course, these pieces of land are
The rent that belongs to the Xiliang Army alone is a huge amount collected by the Xiliang Army every year. This is incomparable to the princes of the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, it is said that the princes dominate the country, but in fact the land controlled by the aristocratic families is larger than that of the princes.
There are even more. This is also the current situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Land annexation was serious and the people revolted.
After strolling to Feng Lai Building, the waiter from the in-house store came up to greet me.
In a luxurious private room, Jia Rong ordered a few good dishes and a bottle of wine, and drank it himself, which was not bad.
Suddenly, low shouts and the sound of weapons clashing came from the next door. Jia Rong was shocked and hurriedly walked out of the box.
Feng Lai Tower is one of the luxurious restaurants in Chang'an City. The owner himself is quite capable. If he dares to cause trouble in Feng Lai Tower, he is definitely seeking death. Jia Rong can't help but wonder who is in the box next door. On the surface, Chang'an is in a peaceful and prosperous time.
There was a torrent surging in the dark. Under the strict surveillance of the Xiliang army, nothing went wrong. Jia Rong also understood that there were many spies from the Central Plains families and even the princes in Chang'an City, seeking information. This was normal.
The movement in the box did not alarm anyone else. Jia Rong stood outside the box holding a sword, quietly waiting for the movement inside to end.
After about a while of tea, the door of the box opened. When he saw the person coming out, Jia Rong couldn't help but be startled and said in surprise: "Why is it you?"
"Lord, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else." Wang Yue said, cupping his fists.
Jia Rong looked at Wang Yue carefully and nodded slightly in agreement. Since they have chosen to cooperate with Wang Yue, they must have enough confidence, not to mention that the assassination is still in Wang Yue's hands at this time.
"Tell me, what is it?" Jia Rong asked.
This is a secret stronghold of the lone wolf soldiers. There are lone wolf soldiers guarding the surrounding area. There is no fear that Wang Yue will make any other moves.
"My lord, an unidentified man in black suddenly appeared in the city. These people are highly skilled in martial arts, have good swordsmanship, and are good at assassination. They have been lurking in the city recently, and there has been no movement. Today, I also followed a man in black.
When Feng Lai came to the building and saw what was going on, the man in black suddenly took action. He was defeated by his humble position and was beheaded!" Wang Yue explained.
Jia Rong was secretly shocked that there were men in black in Chang'an City. With the Xiliang Army's intelligence network so powerful, he didn't even know when the men in black came in. It's no wonder that there were too many merchants and common people in Chang'an City. About
There are 100,000 people, and countless people come in and out every day. It can definitely be called a prosperous city. It is impossible for the Xiliang Army to check every one of them. The men in black can easily enter the city.
"These people normally stay in the city during the day and often go to Fenglailou to drink. But at night, they begin to move around the city and sneak into officials' mansions many times. Their intentions are very clear. I have been investigating them recently." Wang
The more we arrive.
There is no curfew in the city of Chang'an, so merchants can choose to do business at night. The whole of Chang'an is very lively no matter day or night, and many wealthy people are willing to go out for a walk at night and then go back to rest.
"Whose mansion have you entered?" Jia Rong asked.
"General Guo, Military Advisor Guo, and General Li Shun, etc., were secretly following behind. Seeing that they didn't make any move, they didn't alert the enemy. Today, they launched an attack because they found out about their humble position."
Jia Rong said coldly: "We must investigate carefully and execute all the men in black if we find them. Remember, this general wants to know their origins and the purpose of investigating the officials' mansions. Guo Si, Guo Jia, Li Shun and others are interested in Xi
It is very important to Liang Jun, and the loss of one person will make Jia Rong fall into grief."
Wang Yue clasped his fists and said yes. After Jia Rong left, he also started a new job. Not long after Wang Yue's assassination was established, he made a name for himself in the Xiliang Army. If the incident of the man in black could be eradicated again, it would be vaguely possible.
It can be compared with Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf is a secret force formed by Jia Rong, but Wang Yue is a master of swordsmanship with unfathomable skills. He also wants to compare with Lone Wolf soldiers. The two teams fight openly and secretly, and those who are interested are
From what I can see, fortunately it's just a competition of strength between soldiers, rather than a real fight with real swords and guns.
The city of Chang'an is still very lively. After being tested by the men in black, Jia Rong has no intention of continuing to wander in the city. Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Li Shun. These three people are extremely important to the Xiliang army and cannot make any mistakes.
.
Jia Rong wanted to send troops immediately to tightly protect the three people's residence, but thinking of Wang Yue's methods, he temporarily put down his worries. These men in black definitely had unimaginable plans.
"Lord, it's not good. Mr. Guo encountered an assassin on his way back to the mansion and was stabbed. He is currently recovering from his injuries in the mansion."
Jia Rong suddenly sat up and said with anger in his voice: "Go and see Guo Jia's mansion."
Guo Jia's residence is not far from the General's Palace. It's hard to imagine how brave the assassin was. He actually assassinated Xiliang officers and officials under Jia Rong's nose. If this spread, wouldn't it arouse people all over the world?
ridicule.
"Order the soldiers to strictly guard the Guo family. No one is allowed to enter without my order. Let Zhang Xiu search Guo Jia's house closely to see if he can find anything. The murderer must be caught." Jia Rong ordered.
.
"Fengxiao, how do you feel?"
Seeing Jia Rong's arrival, Guo Jia struggled to sit up, but the injury on his arm was affected, causing Guo Jia to grin in pain.
"Fengxiao, you and I have known each other for many years, but you still don't understand my character. Forget about those false etiquette. Tell me the specific situation." Jia Rong held Guo Jia down and asked.
Guo Jia sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "After I came out of the General's Mansion today, I was walking on the road. I vaguely felt someone was following me behind me. But I immediately thought that this was Chang'an, so I didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that I was just about to
When I walked into the mansion, two men in black rushed out of the mansion, one on the left and one on the right, holding daggers and charging at me. Their attire was quite reminiscent of lone wolf soldiers. Fortunately, the guards on the left and right were loyal and fought hard to move forward. In the end, the two
All the guards were killed, and the lowly officer’s arm was also stabbed.”
Jia Rong was shocked: "Did the man in black escape from your mansion?"
"Exactly, I am also very curious about how these people got in, and it was during the day. It is impossible that the maids and servants in the mansion could not find traces of these people." Guo Jia also expressed his doubts.
"Feng Xiao rests in peace and recuperates. The matter of capturing the man in black will be left in my hands. No matter who it is, who intends to assassinate Xiliang army officials, he will never let it go." Jia Rong comforted.
As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion and before he sat down, Zhang Xiu came to report with an ugly face: "My lord, Mr. Zhang Li encountered a man in black on his way back to the Mansion."
Jia Rong grabbed Zhang Xiu and said in surprise: "What? How is Mr. Zhang doing?"
"Nothing happened, but he was stabbed in the back, and the weapon of the man in black was coated with poison. Mr. Hua is heading to the Zhang Mansion."
Jia Rong loosened his hands and said coldly: "No matter what the identities of these men in black are, find them in three days and order the lone wolf soldiers to closely protect the officials of the Xiliang Army. There must not be any mistakes and keep a close eye on the city."
The general does not want to see such things happen to officials again."
"No!" Anger flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes. As the leader of the lone wolf soldiers, he had never encountered such a thing before. He committed crimes under their noses one after another, and his methods were quite similar to those of the lone wolf soldiers. Even the
The weapons are all daggers used by the lone wolf soldiers a few years ago.
