"Brother, where are we going?" The depression in his heart was gone, and Lu Bu's mood became much better.
Jia Rong's eyes were fixed on Youzhou and he said slowly: "Youzhou, Xianbei and Wuhuan have repeatedly invaded Youzhou. The people are suffering from the war. It's time for us to show our talents!"
Lu Bu cupped his fists and responded: "No!" Since he planned to follow Jia Rong, Lu Bu was already ready to become a subordinate. It was not that he didn't listen to Gao Shun's advice, but he just didn't want to bend.
With Zhang Zhi's efforts, he finally contacted Jincheng. He also knew that Jincheng was attacked by Cheng Qiu's army, but it was too far away from Jincheng and he couldn't help.
Jincheng has Jia Xu, Zhang Li, Zhang Zhao and others in charge, and there is no shortage of generals in the army. Jia Rong is not worried.
Ever since, Jia Rong had the idea of traveling around the world. Wouldn't it be a good life to meet the world's heroes, drink and have fun? With his foresight of history, he could recruit a group of fierce generals and lead his army to sweep the world. Think about it.
All make people feel excited.
A month later, as soon as the group arrived at the border of Youzhou, they received intelligence that the Xianbei people were invading. After the Xianbei unification, their military strength became unprecedentedly powerful. Once these foreigners united as one, the days of suffering for the Han people would come.
Tan Shihuai was a brave and strategic leader who integrated Xianbei and made Xianbei's country strong. However, Tan Shihuai died young and his son Helian was not as capable as his father. After he came to the throne, he failed to keep Tan Shihuai.
The territory conquered by Sophora japonica actually caused Xianbei to fall apart. It was in this way that the Han Dynasty had a chance to breathe. Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would combine with Xianbei and the Han Dynasty would be in danger.
Gongsun Zan led his soldiers to resist, and the Xianbei people they killed were retreating steadily. However, the Xianbei people were always in the upper hand in terms of numbers, and his subordinates were also capable of conquering and fighting. After several battles to no avail, Gongsun Zan defended the city, and the Xianbei people took advantage of the opportunity.
Loot villages within Han territory and nearby counties.
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was an out-and-out pacifist. In the past, whenever the Xianbei or Wuhuan people came with their troops, Liu Yu would send envoys to make peace, appease the foreigners, and give them food.
Cloth, etc., several Xianbei attacks were repelled by Liu Yu in this way, and the people were saved from war. Liu Yu was a good official in the hearts of the soldiers. In the eyes of foreigners, Liu Yu was a very generous and polite Han official.
.
But this time the Xianbei people came in force, and the envoy sent by Liu Yu was detained, asking Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, to cede Liaodong and other places to the Xianbei people.
At this time, the voices of rebellion in the Han Dynasty were endless, and various places were struggling to deal with them. These news were cleverly suppressed by the eunuch family. Liu Yu's letter for help was like a stone, and the Han court ignored it. The Xianbei people invaded.
It happened very frequently, and every time it failed, the Emperor of Han Dynasty didn't take it seriously.
Liu Yu was very popular in Youzhou, and he was generous in his politics. He thought about the people in everything and did not want innocent people to suffer the war.
Gongsun Zan was an out-and-out militant, but Liu Yu ruthlessly rejected every request he made. As time went on, the gap between the two became deeper and deeper.
"My lord, General Gongsun has always disobeyed orders and repeatedly defied your will. Why not use the hands of the Xianbei people to get rid of him." He was engaged in Tianchou and admonished him.
Wei You advised: "Sir, no, General Gongsun is the cavalry captain appointed by the Han Emperor. If he does this, I am afraid it will chill the soldiers. What's more, the Xianbei people are invading the country at this time. This will further encourage the enemy's arrogance. It is better to
Give these foreigners a good beating and let them see the power of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Yu said: "No, these foreigners are attached to the Han and rebel because the tribe has insufficient food and grass to survive the winter."
Wei You once again advised: "My lord, the Han Dynasty has been in war for a long time, and the treasury is empty. Where can we get food and grass to support the Xianbei people? Today in Xianbei and tomorrow in Wuhuan, my lord must not do this."
Liu Yu was a little angry and scolded: "Don't talk too much, prepare some food and cloth, and then go and convince the Xianbei people."
Wei You sighed and said goodbye and left.
After Jia Rong got the news, he didn't want to miss this "feast" and also wanted to see the heroic appearance of General White Horse, so the group accelerated their pace and rushed to Liaodong.
Along the way, countless refugees were targeted. The Xianbei people's reputation for burning, killing, and looting has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the Xianbei people's cruelty. All men taller than a wheel will be executed, and all women and children will be brought back to their own tribe.
Cruelty is disgusting.
Today's Youzhou is not peaceful. People are suffering from robbers on the road, and their only food rations are stolen again. The people are miserable.
It is normal to exchange children for food. It is good to be able to sell the child. If you cannot sell the child, you will have to watch your own child starve to death.
Some people could no longer walk and lay on the roadside, groaning silently and begging passers-by.
Wei Fu in the carriage saw the situation outside and couldn't bear to say: "Brother, give them some food to save them."
Jia Rong shook his head and said: "There are so many people in the world who have suffered from war. Our rations are not much. Can we save everyone if we save one?"
"But we can't watch these people starve to death, right?" Wei Fu advised again.
At this time, Jia Rong became extremely iron-blooded and said firmly: "Keep on going!"
"We are an army, not a philanthropist. Without rations, how can we go to the battlefield with enough food!" Jia Rong said sternly.
Wei Fu was blamed, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Jia Rong couldn't bear to see Wei Fu's appearance, so he called Zhang Zhi and said, "Instruct Xianlian Pavilion in Youzhou to take in some younger children."
Zhang Zhi clasped his fists in agreement and left.
Jia Rong opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Wei Fu still crying silently, and advised: "Fu'er, be good, I have told Zhang Zhi to take in those children on the roadside, stop crying."
Wei Fu said in a choked tone: "Brother, am I very useless? I always cause you trouble."
Jia Rong gently stroked Wei Fu's hair and said, "How could it be possible? Fu'er is kind-hearted and it's not too late for me to like her."
After some persuasion, Wei Fu finally broke down in tears and turned into a smile.
Although Lu Bu, Jiang Yu and other generals did not understand Jia Rong's approach, they implemented it to the letter.
"Perhaps only war can allow all people to live a stable life." Jia Rong sighed secretly.
Half a month later, we finally arrived in Liaodong. The march route almost ran through the entire Youzhou. The closer we got to Liaodong, the worse the conditions of the people we saw on the road became. Many villages were even turned into ruins.
Knowing the cruelty of Xianbei Wuhuan, he couldn't help but clench his fist again when he saw it with his own eyes.
The city gates of Liaodong were closed tightly, and 20,000 Xianbei troops were stationed ten miles outside the city, staring at Liaodong City with eager eyes.
Jia Rong and others came to Liaodong City and were questioned heavily. It is easy for people to have daydreams that such a team came to the border county rashly.
"If you have any eyes on the city, my eldest brother is Jia Rong, the governor of Jincheng. Please hurry up and open the city gate." Lu Bu shouted with a voice like a bell.
The soldiers in the city did not have any unusual reaction when they first heard Jia Rong's name. This is a border county, not far from Liangzhou. It is normal for the soldiers to be unfamiliar with this name.
Gongsun Zan, who was in the military camp, was stunned when he heard the situation reported by the soldiers, and then hurried to the city wall under the leadership of the soldiers.
"Is this Jia Rong here?" Gongsun Zan asked loudly on the city wall regardless of his image. Listening carefully, you can hear his tone was slightly excited.
Lu Bu said impatiently: "That's right, hurry up and open the city gate."
Gongsun Zan responded: "General, wait a moment."
A general stepped forward and advised: "General, no, just imagine how Jia Rong could appear in Liaodong when he was in Liangzhou. This is the critical moment when our army is fighting Xianbei. There is no room for error. General, please think twice."
Gongsun Zan also woke up from the excitement just now and said: "What you said is that I will lead the cavalry out to greet me later. You should deal with it carefully in the city. If the situation goes wrong, close the city gate immediately."
The general advised: "The general is the defender of Liaodong, how can he put himself in danger?"
Gongsun Zan laughed and said: "I have three thousand white horse loyal followers under my general's command. Who can stop me? Twenty thousand Xianbei people are nothing. Even if I come with fifty thousand, I dare to lead the army there."
Without waiting for further persuasion from the general, Gongsun Zan walked down the city wall, ordered three thousand cavalry, and headed out of the city.
Three thousand cavalry poured out of the city like a rolling torrent, and the more than a hundred white horses in the center caught the eye.
When they arrived at the place where Jia Rong and others were able to shoot, three thousand cavalrymen reined in their horses one after another, and the roar of the horses was heard endlessly. A general stepped out from among them, followed by more than a hundred cavalrymen. Without exception, the more than a hundred cavalrymen were all white.
The war horse came slowly towards Jia Rong.
The cavalry behind him stared at Jia Rong and others with wary expressions, their weapons already firmly in their hands.
"Fengxian, what do you think of this cavalry?" Jia Rong asked in a low voice.
Lu Bu looked a little solemn and said slowly: "The combat power must be good!"
"But if I want to take the enemy general's head, there will be no difficulty." Lu Bu added.
Jia Rong rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied: "As a general, how can you take risks? If the enemy soldiers are united, how can you be allowed to rush into the enemy's formation single-handedly?"
Lu Bu said na na: "What the elder brother said is true, but this cavalry must be the famous white horse Yi Cong from Youzhou, and they are the elite soldiers."
Jia Rong laughed and said: "In front of the Xiliang cavalry, no one dares to claim to be an elite soldier. You will understand when you get to Jincheng Fengxian."
Lu Bu's expression was stagnant. There were more or less surprises every day with Jia Rong.
Jia Rong rode his tall horse to the front and said, "Brother Bogui treats guests so enthusiastically, haha..."
Lu Bu, Jiang Yu and others followed closely, staring at Gongsun Zan warily.
Gongsun Zan blushed, but did not reduce his vigilance. He asked, "Are you really Jia Rong?"
When Jia Rong heard Gongsun Zan's childish question, he couldn't help but laugh again and laughed: "Who does General Gongsun say I am? It's just Jia Rong who is fake, hahahaha..."
Lu Bu rode his horse and walked out from behind Jia Rong, shouting loudly: "How dare you question my eldest brother's identity."
The new week has begun. Although there is no popular list, everyone will work together to push the Iron Cavalry to a higher point! Come on together!
