Chapter 193: Gathering Soldiers in the Golden City
The greatest advantage of the Han Emperor was that he controlled the opinions of the entire Han Dynasty. What he said was that the imperial edict was the will of God. The Han Emperor was the nominal son of Heaven, and what he conveyed was the will of God. No one from the civil and military officials to the common people dared to disobey.
, even the slightest disobedience will be reviled by the people of the world. -. -
Even aristocratic families with extraordinary influence did not dare to openly disobey the Han Emperor's will. The imperial power was supreme. This was a thought accumulated over hundreds of years.
This is why when there were many princes, many princes wanted to occupy the Han Emperor, because he represented the great cause of justice, and disobedience meant that you were rebelling against the party.
After receiving the order from the Han Emperor, Jia Rong did not dare to neglect, and immediately prepared the three armies to prepare for a decisive battle with the rebels. Naturally, the work on the surface must be done to perfection, and Jia Rong, who was often caught with pigtails, also became cunning.
In order to let the world see the generosity of the Xiliang Army, the Xiliang Army's willingness to do whatever it takes to defend the Han Dynasty will definitely earn Jia Rong a lot of popular support. In war-torn times, popular support is crucial.
Nowadays, Jia Rongwen, like Zhang Zhao, Zhang Li and Jia Xu, is no longer the prefect of Beidi County in the past, and he is no longer a fool in doing things.
Jia Rong knew the content of Emperor Han's decree as early as half a month before it arrived. This is the power of information. With half a month of preparation, Jia Rong was very confident.
It was night, in the prefect's mansion, Jia Rong was sitting at the top, the civil servants were on Jia Rong's right hand side, and the generals were on Jia Rong's left hand side. Seeing the grand scene of all the talented people under his command, Jia Rong felt very relieved and smoothed his beard under his chin.
, said: "Now that the Holy One has asked our Xiliang Army to attack the rebels with one force, what do you think?"
Jia Xuyue's crowd bowed and said, "My lord, the three armies have not yet moved for food and fodder. At this time, we should ask for food and fodder from the Holy One. General Huangfu Song has been ordered to station in Chang'an. My lord can send people there to ask for reinforcements."
"My lord was originally a captain who protected the Qiang, but now he has taken on the responsibility of attacking the rebels. This matter should also be reported to Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, so that he can send troops to rescue him. He should also inform the three armies and let all the sergeants know the Han Emperor's will.
The Qiang people in Jincheng County also want to send troops to help."
Zhang Li, as the first person in charge of internal affairs, also said: "Everything Master Jia said just now makes sense. Not only that, we also want the whole world to understand the loyalty and bravery of the Xiliang Army, and let the people and merchants of Jincheng feel that our lord
of loyalty.”
Jia Rong nodded in agreement. After several years of hard work, Jia Rong had a deep understanding of the power of public opinion. Now that the Han Emperor has sent the Xiliang army to attack the rebels, it is a good time to occupy the great cause, regardless of whether the attack is successful or not.
, we must establish an image for ourselves as wise and tall, willing to sacrifice our lives to maintain the Han Dynasty, and we must have this honor even if we lose.
Compared with civil servants, military generals just hold the weapons in their hands tightly. They are a sharp sword in Jia Rong's hands. Wherever the sword points, the enemy will take his head.
Looking at the civil and military officials under his command, Jia Rong laughed and said, "With your help, there's no need to worry about the big thing happening!"
A wise person will naturally find an intriguing meaning in Jia Rong's tone. Major events can be divided into many types. The rebels attacking Han Sui in front of him can be said to be a major event. If it is said that Jia Rong has a disloyal heart and wants to sit on the west
The dominance of the Liang army is also a big deal, but these are not important.
The happiest thing in life is to be able to have your own value recognized by others. Compared with other officials, Jia Rong's philosophy of governing the city is more complicated. Just like this, it gives many people a stage to perform, gives many people something to do, and allows them to
Their lives have become more meaningful, and to a certain extent, Jia Rong is their guide.
In order to show that Jia Rong attached great importance to the attack on the rebels, except for the generals in the three counties bordering the rebels who were not recalled, the other generals stationed in various places received Jia Rong's recruitment orders.
After half a year of governance, the counties have settled down, leaving only a small number of sergeants. Generals from various ministries led many soldiers to the county. Each county is governed by county magistrates. Jia Rong is relieved that these magistrates are the prefects.
After being carefully selected and sent to various places, there is no doubt about their loyalty. More importantly, they have Jia Rong's idea of governing the people and mostly do practical things for the people.
These officials are basically pragmatists. They do not have sharp words or quotes from scriptures, but only how to manage the place well.
Jia Rong led his personal guards to review the soldiers stationed in various places. The soldiers from various departments competed with each other. Jia Rong was very pleased to see them with their heads held high and their morale high.
Momentum alone is not enough. In order to encourage the soldiers of various ministries in the future, Jia Rong inspected the strength of these soldiers and made a ranking and handed it to the generals of each ministry.
Looking at the judgment in their hands, the generals of each department had different expressions. All the weaknesses of their armies were listed above, and the strengths were omitted.
The most common suggestion was the lack of cooperation among soldiers, and the suggestions given to soldiers in various ministries were also different. Most of the suggestions were sharp and practical. Jia Rong looked at the military of this era from the perspective of a future man, which was very authoritative.
speak.
The generals who came from afar looked at the thin piece of rice paper in their hands. They were excited, but the soldiers under their command were facing a storm of training. If the general was embarrassed, the soldiers would naturally not feel good.
There is no general who does not want his soldiers to be elite. Being elite in a hundred battles is the desire of all generals. Being able to get advice on the development of soldiers is an important navigation book for aspiring to become a good general.
There are many elites among the generals, such as Guo Si's soldiers. When reviewing them, Jia Rong clearly felt an unusual aura. Even if these soldiers stood there motionless, they gave people a sense of oppression.
Like an unsheathed sword, anyone who despises him will suffer a fatal blow.
A battle with the rebels turned into a big drill for the Xiliang Army because of Jia Rong's review. Soldiers from the entire Jincheng County gathered outside Jincheng. Every time they practiced, there were beatings, curses and shouts. Every day and night, these
The generals gathered together to discuss how to train their soldiers well. Guo Si seemed to be the leader among these generals. Under Guo Si's leadership, the progress of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army could be said to be a thousand miles in a day. The cooperation between the soldiers
The two are getting closer and closer, and the techniques of fighting on the battlefield are becoming more and more proficient.
In the past, under Dong Zhuo, Guo Si was a backbone general. When it came to the ability to train soldiers and the strategy on the battlefield, there were only a handful of generals in the Xiliang army who could compare with Guo Si. The cavalry led by Guo Si was even more powerful with the help of stirrups and horseshoes.
With added power, his combat effectiveness increased by an unknown amount after several months of training. Leading the cavalry in battle was Guo Si's strength.
The Xiliang Army's crusade, which was rumored in the outside world, came to a standstill after all the generals arrived in Jincheng, but the words promoting the loyalty and bravery of the Xiliang Army never stopped. With the help of Xianlian Pavilion, various heroic deeds of the Xiliang Army soon came to light.
The news spread throughout the Han Dynasty and became a benevolent and righteous teacher known to everyone. The soldiers in the entire team were all brave and good at fighting.
Even the aristocratic family targeting Jia Rong did not expect that things would develop to this point. No matter how capable the aristocratic family was, the power of public opinion was tilting towards Jia Rong. Only the rebels who pinned their hopes on Han Sui could help Jia Rong.
A hard blow.
The various actions of the Xiliang Army did not escape the sharp eyes of the noble family, and the inaction of the Xiliang Army quickly spread to the ears of the Han Emperor.
Faced with the Han Emperor's order to urge the war, Jia Rong excused himself on the grounds that the army was poorly prepared and lacked food and grass. The Han Emperor turned a deaf ear to the problem of food and grass, and just kept urging the war.
No matter how Han Di Du is the boss, Jia Rong can't be too disrespectful. Finally, after half a month's rest, Jia Rong decided to rush towards Pingxiang City.
The reinforcements from his boss Geng Bi did not arrive, and not a grain of food or grass was found. There was only a concise and concise letter of encouragement. The letter mainly praised Jia Rong's loyalty, and vaguely mentioned that the successive wars in Xiliang made Geng Bi interested.
Powerless.
Jia Xu mentioned Dong Zhuo's army at Longguan. It seemed that Dong Zhuo was confronting Han Sui's rebels again, but in fact Dong Zhuo was recharging his strength. Otherwise, Jia Rong occupied Jincheng County with lightning speed.
After that, Dong Zhuo still stood still. Dong Zhuo's purpose was very simple, which was to retain the strength of the army and maintain the current balance in Xiliang. This was beneficial to the three families. When this balance was broken, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the three counties.
Dong Zhuo is very famous in Xiliang, and Han Sui is not bad either. Xiliang is not a big place, but its power is mottled and complicated. The major forces and wealthy families are intertwined with each other. No one can be underestimated. In addition, Xiliang is in a state of harmony with the Qiang people.
In the place where the handover takes place, the people are fierce and the forces are intertwined. If you are not careful, you will offend many forces.
Jia Xu explained the analysis to Jia Rong one by one. After listening to Jia Xu's words, Jia Rong was suddenly confused and more embarrassed. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was not thick enough to attract Dong Zhuo's attention.
It is estimated that the most costly business Dong Zhuo has made in his life is to train himself. Just because Jia Rong is too embarrassed to directly intervene does not mean that it will end like this.
Jia Xu's intelligence network quickly informed the Han Emperor of the situation of Dong Zhuo's army at Longguan through Xianlian Pavilion, hoping that the Han Emperor could send Dong Zhuo's army to assist the Xiliang Army. The Han Emperor was happy with this, and he did not want the power of any family to
Dominate.
Three days later, more than 20,000 soldiers stood quietly at the Jincheng County school ground. Their eyes were all focused on the high platform in front. In addition to the soldiers stationed in various places, the Xiliang Army now has 20,000 soldiers who have come to Jincheng.
The remaining people.
Previously, not only the county and city were disarmament, but other counties were doing the same. According to Jia Rong, the Xiliang army needed warriors and elites, rather than relying on large numbers to win.
There are currently about 25,000 standing soldiers in the entire Jincheng, and there are countless militiamen. These militiamen train in their free time and go back to their homes during busy farming. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the standing soldiers, they are more effective in wartime.
It can serve as a good assistant, carry arrows and other consumables, and can also become a patrol soldier in the city.
Thank you for your support. I am really busy today. I work too hard. I drag my tired body to continue updating. I hope all readers can support the Iron Cavalry!
