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 gloomily.
This man's name was Li Su, and he was also a talented man. He was a disciple of Dong Zhuo in his early years. He was a native of Wuyuan.
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: "Master, 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 loyalty. My lord is kind to him. If my lord invites me to meet him in the future, Jia Rong would not dare to refuse." 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 advice as an example."
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: "My Lord
, if that 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 he 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
You can logically break away from the Xiliang Army, no longer be subject to Dong Zhuo's control, and develop your 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 now 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 no longer the same thing.
"Wenhe, where do you start with this?" 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, which made 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."
These words made Jia Rong suddenly realize that if he raised his tail to the sky like this, he would sooner or later cause a big disaster. The best thing to do was to recharge his batteries. And Dong Zhuo, who had been kind to him, if he fought with the Xiliang army,
Clear the boundaries, lest people in the world laugh at it, this is still a small area, 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 little trick.
There is no falsehood in his behavior, and he is also a person with true temperament.
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 been in contact 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 then there was joy. 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 able to conquer 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 bowed 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 the lord must go to the Xiliang Army in person and ask for resignation from Dong Zhuo. He must show his reluctance in his words 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 from the Xiliang Army sergeants along the way.
After the report, Jia Rong was able to enter the Chinese army's tent. Dong Zhuo lost his previous enthusiasm and his cold attitude revealed his dissatisfaction.
Jia Rong bowed to Dong Zhuo and said: "Jia Rong, a humble official, meets the general!"
Dong Zhuo said in a stiff tone: "Prefect Jia, you don't have to be like this. Now that your official rank is not lower than mine, why do you need to give such a big gift? Dong can't bear it." But he didn't mean to help Jia Rong at all. He just deliberately made things difficult for Jia Rong.
"The general's words are wrong. The general is kind to Jia Rong. Jia Rong can be where he is today, all thanks to the general. Without the general, how would Jia Rong be today? Once he is the master, he will always be the master. Don't forget the humble moments.
I am a soldier of Xiliang, and I will always remember the general's great kindness." Jia Rong replied while keeping his bow.
Dong Zhuo's expression softened a lot, and he stretched out his hand to help Jia Rong up, and said, "Zhiyuan, why do you do this? You and I are both Han ministers, and we should support each other from now on." The title was also changed from Jia Taishou to Zhiyuan.
Jia Rongyi said righteously: "The general's words are wrong. Jia Rong has been a member of the Xiliang Army all his life. In the future, as long as the general has incentives, Jia Rong will not give up even if he dies. The Xiliang Army has experienced so many wars and is scarred.
The general can choose the elite men under his command. It is really helpless for Beiji to part with the general this time. In fact, Beiji also wants to stay in the Xiliang army. The Xiliang army is Beiji's home." He bowed to Dong Zhuo again.
Dong Zhuo looked excited and took Jia Rong's hand and said: "I know Zhiyuan will definitely not let me down. With Zhiyuan's words, I can rest assured that the Xiliang army is fine. If Zhiyuan's troops are insufficient, I can send General Hua to assist."
Zhiyuan guards Beidi County."
"If Zhiyuan encounters any difficulties in Beidi County, feel free to raise them. I will definitely help Zhiyuan. Your position in the Xiliang Army will always be reserved for you." Dong Zhuo said impassionedly.
