At this time, the Qiang people's war horses were also Mongolian horses, with an average height of about 1.3 meters and a weight of about 300 kilograms. They had good endurance and fast speed. They were considered better horses by the Han people.
Of course, the best war horse is the Dawan horse, which is tall and fast, especially the sweaty horse. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally ordered it to be a Tianma.
The sweat horse has a good shape, is considerate, fast, and has good endurance. It is suitable for long-distance marches and is very suitable for use as a military horse. The Han Dynasty cavalry who introduced the "sweat horse" greatly increased their combat effectiveness. There is even a story like this.
: During the battle between the Han army and the foreign army, an army was made up of sweat horses. The enemy was so large in number that they looked at them with admiration. The sweat horses, which had been trained for a long time, thought it was a stage for performance and performed dance moves. The opponent used
It is a short Mongolian horse. Seeing that the Khanxue horse is tall, thin and hairy, he thinks it is a strange animal and retreats without fighting.
Sun Jian was overjoyed and kept thanking Jia Rong. The role played by these one hundred war horses cannot be underestimated, and their value is also high. Jia Rong can give them to him, which is enough to show the friendship between the two.
Guo Si, Hua Xiong and other Xiliang army generals who were good friends with Jia Rong came to say goodbye to Jia Rong one after another. They were really separated, but Jia Rong was reluctant to part with him.
Guo Bang patted Jia Rong's shoulder affectionately and advised him on some issues to pay attention to in the future. His words were like Jia Rong's family. Jia Rong missed this feeling very much. He had been away from his parents for a long time. He said that he didn't miss it.
It's impossible. Thinking of the parents who worked so hard to raise him, how sad he would be if there is no news about him. Now he has a big brother who cares about him like a family member. This long-lost feeling of family affection fills Jia Rong's heart.
In the large tent of Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo took the things in the tent and threw them around, while Li Ru stood beside him without saying a word.
After a long time, Dong Zhuo finally lost his temper and said, "Wen You, you said this is not because the Han court is bullying people too much. By doing this again and again, it is bullying our Xiliang army too much." The sergeants around the camp had long been dismissed.
"My lord, why should you worry about this? Since the Han court appointed Jia Rong as the governor of Beidi County, we don't have to give Jia Rong any soldiers. Jia Rong doesn't have many original troops. Let's see what the Han court will do." Li Ru
A scribe with a goatee behind him said yinyin.
This man's name is Li Su, and he is also a talented person. He was a disciple of Dong Zhuo in his early years. He was from Wuyuan. He returned from traveling and was quite courageous and strategic. Together with Li Ru, he was known as Dong Zhuo's second lieutenant. He was Dong Zhuo's right and left arm.
If Li Ru is a poisonous snake, then Li Su is a scorpion.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "This really touches my heart, haha..."
Li Ru frowned deeply, stepped forward and bowed: "My lord, do you want to break up with Jia Rong and completely sever the relationship?"
Dong Zhuo immediately stopped laughing and asked, "Why did Wen You say this?"
"The Lord recalled all the soldiers and horses of Jia Rong's tribe to the Xiliang Army, and Jia Rong became a bare general, thus forcing Jia Rong to a dead end. This did not help the Han Dynasty."
"What's more, most of Jia Rong's cavalry are Qiang cavalry, which is difficult to control and may be difficult to mobilize. The infantry has also followed him from the beginning. Jia Rong has a good way of running the army. It is unwise to take the troops back by force if they are loyal to them." Li Ru
Xinbu said.
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that he was not as proud as before, and asked hurriedly: "I wonder if the military advisor has any good ideas?"
"My lord just needs to help Jia Rong. Jia Rong is a man of great friendship and my lord is kind to him. If my lord invites me to meet him in the future, Jia Rong will not dare to obey." Li Ru said confidently.
Even so, Dong Zhuo still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, so he sent his general away like this, "Wen You's words are very true, I almost missed a big event, so I just take Wen You's opinion."
The face of Li Su next to him was not very good-looking. Li Ru's words were a complete rejection of Li Su, which was tantamount to a slap in the face in front of Dong Zhuo. Scholars are all good-looking. Li Su then advised: " Lord, if Jia Rong is an ungrateful person, wouldn’t it be that we have benefited him in vain?”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was furious: "Don't say such words again in the future. Jia Rong has saved me in danger many times. He is really my confidant."
Li Su blindly provoked, but he forgot Dong Zhuo's trust in Jia Rong, thinking that even Li Ru had been punished once.
Li Ru believed that even if he didn't point it out, Dong Zhuo would not really recruit Jia Rong's soldiers back, because Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo too well. On the contrary, Jia Rong was something he could never see through and spoke differently from ordinary people. , acts eclectically and is difficult to figure out. At the same time, it is difficult for Li Ru to judge whether Jia Rong really turned his back and turned into a white-eyed wolf once he left Dong Zhuo.
The happiest thing about such an appointment is that Jia Rong and a group of Jia Rong's cadres have been promoted to heaven. Jia Rong has become the legitimate governor of Beidi County. Then these old subordinates will naturally be promoted; Jia Rong also It would be logical to break away from the Xiliang Army, no longer be subject to Dong Zhuo's control, and develop his own power. However, Dong Zhuo was too aggrieved. A previous appointment from the Han court slipped away by himself, and he did not expect it to come again. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to. As a result, the Xiliang Army has experienced a major downsizing. Now Jia Rong's cavalry has 3,500 cavalry and 4,000 infantry. The Xiliang Army has been reduced by less than half overnight.
Jia Rong couldn't help but marvel at the Han Emperor's methods. With just such an edict, Dong Zhuo's military power was dispersed.
Jia Rong, who was overjoyed, came to Li Cui's camp happily, saying goodbye naturally. Li Cui was reluctant to leave Jia Rong, and pulled Jia Rong to talk nonsense, "General Jia, you are leaving now." , what should I do, my soldiers are all unsatisfactory guys, and they are still waiting for the general to train them."
Jia Rong has been using Li Cui as a cover, but he found that Li Cui is still a very good person, and he respects Jia Rong every time.
After dismissing Li Cui, Jia Xu said calmly: "My lord, are you very happy? You have finally escaped from Dong Zhuo's tent and become a general guarding one side. You can also develop your own power with confidence."
Jia Rongzhi smiled proudly and said: "The one who knows me is Wen He."
"If this is the case, my lord, a disaster is not far away!" Jia Xu still looked indifferent, but in Jia Rong's view, it was not the same as before.
"Wenhe, where do you start with this statement?" Jia Rong didn't believe that it was a stupid thing for him to escape from Dong Zhuo's account so smoothly.
Jia Xu stared at Jia Rong quietly, his eyes seemed to be full of magic, making Jia Rong feel naked in front of him, "My lord, Dong Zhuo has been famous in Xiliang for a long time, and with the help of Li Ru, it is even more... This is like adding more power to a tiger. Although the lord is now out of Dong Zhuo's tent, the lord has been a member of the Xiliang Army all his life. Dong Zhuo also promoted the lord. This is second. The Xiliang Army is brave. If the Qiang invades again. , and Dong Zhuo does not lead his army to come to the rescue, who does the lord ask for help from?"
"What my lord needs to do now is not to separate the boundaries with the Xiliang army, but to maintain a good relationship with the Xiliang army, and at the same time secretly develop his own power. This is the best way. It is unwise to be complacent about a small victory.
, Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited the generals under my lord to return to the Xiliang army, and my lord was helpless. My lord is now weak and has to rely on Dong Zhuo in many places."
What he said made Jia Rong suddenly realize that if he had his tail raised to the sky like this, he would sooner or later cause a big disaster. The best thing to do is to recharge his batteries. And Dong Zhuo had been kind to him, so if he fought against the Xiliang army,
Clear the boundaries, lest the world laugh at it, this is still a small one, and the current Beidi County is barren and barren, and is completely a hot potato.
Jia Rong bowed to Jia Xu and said, "Thanks to Wen He's reminder, I almost missed something important."
Jia Xu was also a little moved in her heart. What regrets could she have meeting such a lord who was good at accepting advice? The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. Jia Rong's method of subduing himself was not bright, but it was a real trick.
There is no falsehood in his behavior, and he is also a person of true nature.
Jia Rong looked around and once again confirmed that there was no one around, he whispered: "Tell Wen He the great news. This time the Qiang people retreated, it is all my fault. Guess what happened?" Jia Rong said
A hurdle passed.
Jia Xu looked at Jia Rong carefully for a while, and then said in Jia Rong's ear: "Could it be that the lord met with Li Wenhou and reached some agreement, which prompted Li Wenhou to retreat, but it is impossible. The lord is in the Han army. Li Wenhou
Qiang generals have never interacted with each other." Jia Xu kept frowning.
Seeing that a wise man like Jia Xu was defeated, which was a rare thing, he said softly: "Marquis Li Wen has surrendered to me!"
Jia Xu's expression was stunned for a moment, but there was joy behind him. He suddenly realized that the lord in front of him had become unfathomable. Being able to subdue Marquis Li Wen was not something ordinary people could do. If he surrendered Marquis Li Wen, he would be in Beidi County in the future.
The development is bound to be faster.
Seeing Jia Xu's stunned expression, Jia Rong was very excited.
Jia Xu paid his respects and said, "Congratulations, my lord, with this, great achievements can be accomplished!"
Being praised by Jia Xu is one of the great pleasures in the world. This wise man who is usually unpredictable and profound can do something unexpected. How proud he is.
"But the most important thing right now is that my lord has to go to the Xiliang Army in person and ask for resignation from Dong Zhuo. His words must be full of reluctance to make Dong Zhuo happy," Jia Xu warned.
Jia Rong nodded gently, already thinking about what to do.
After that, Jia Xu told Jia Rong some issues that should be paid attention to in the future, and then asked Jia Rong to leave. He did not follow Jia Rong to stay in Beidi County. In Jia Xu's opinion, he would be more useful if he stayed in the Xiliang army.
, In this regard, Jia Rong did not force it. If Jia Rong insisted that Jia Xu stay in Beidi County, I believe Jia Xu would not refuse. It is not sweet to force a person to stay in the position he likes.
It will definitely play a greater role and create greater benefits.
After bidding farewell to Jia Xu, Jia Rong hurried to the Xiliang Army tent where Dong Zhuo was, ignoring the cheers of Xiliang Army sergeants along the way.
