() "Dong Zhuo's army currently has more than 17,000 people, while our army only has more than 5,000 people. What should we do?" Jia Rong continued to ask, displaying his good quality of not being ashamed to ask questions.
Jia Xu said slowly: "The general and Dong Zhuo came out of Liangzhou together. This alone is enough. Although Dong Zhuo is temporarily ahead of the powerful families in terms of strength, this is not the case. A hundred years of heritage cannot be reversed overnight. If you are not careful,
, it is suspected that he will be shattered to pieces, so he must be cautious. At this time, what Dong Zhuo needs most is a companion who is trustworthy, and the general is the best candidate. Even Dong Zhuo cannot deal with the Xiliang army's combat power with caution. There are still many people in the city.
There is a hidden chess piece like Xianlian Pavilion, which can play a vital role at critical moments, but what about the general?"
After Jia Xu's enlightenment and analysis, Jia Rong suddenly became enlightened, because the unhappiness caused by the gap in military strength also dissipated a lot.
"However, the lord must try his best to gain fame and fortune for the soldiers under his command. These people follow the general just because they want to be successful. The original troops are fine. In the end, when recruiting soldiers from the northern and southern armies, we must be careful." Jia Xu said.
Jia Rong nodded and said: "The military advisor's words are reasonable. I would like to ask the military advisor to handle the matter in Luoyang for me."
Jia Xu bowed and said: "My lord ordered me to do so, and I am bound to do so."
"Thank you for your hard work, Wen He. Please pay more attention to your health." Jia Rong said with concern.
Jia Xu bowed excitedly again.
Jia Rong smiled and nodded. The ancients were good people and would not bargain for unfair orders. On the contrary, they thought it was a sign of trust in them. Jia Rong liked this style of employees very much, and caring for them properly would be even more beneficial.
Let them feel grateful for a long time, why not.
In the later period, Jia Rong continued to fight for official positions for his generals. No matter whether they were generals or not, as long as each of his young generals could have official positions, it would be more stimulating to the efforts of the lower-level soldiers.
Jia Rong also treated the two thousand soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies equally, firmly adhering to the strategy of reward for merit and punishment for delinquency. In addition, Jia Rong was not short of money. These soldiers were treated better in the Xiliang Army than in the Forbidden Army Camp.
Be good, and you can get rewards if you train well. Everyone is very motivated. The soldiers at the bottom are actually the best to manage. The rebellion mainly comes from the generals at the top. Without their leadership, these big-name soldiers would not dare to act rashly.
There was plenty of meat and fish every day, and although the amount of training was huge, no one complained.
Jia Rong used a few tricks to tidy up these soldiers. He knew the discipline of the Xiliang Army by heart. Jia Rong, a junior soldier general at the bottom, re-selected from two thousand people, relying entirely on the soldiers themselves.
In terms of abilities, more than half of the previous mini-bosses have been replaced.
The new little leader came from the lower ranks of the soldiers and was only grateful to Jia Rong. The entire Xiliang army was in a prosperous state.
The most important task of dealing with the aristocratic families in the city was given to Dong Zhuo. Jia Rong only needed to express his support for Dong Zhuo. These court disputes all ended with Dong Zhuo's victory. It seemed that Jia Rong was waiting for something.
Rong discovered this but did not tell Dong Zhuo.
Now Dong Zhuo is in a period of complete self-satisfaction and cannot tolerate any objection. It can be known from the superiors that Jia Rong does not want to have any quarrel with him because of this matter.
The soldiers guarding Hedong were also transferred to the checkpoints around Luoyang City, and Gao Shun and others also rushed to Luoyang with food and grass.
With the addition of these soldiers, Dong Zhuo's momentum became even stronger, and the family was very cooperative with Dong Zhuo's actions.
Dong Zhuo still had his say in the court. Here, the all-powerful aristocratic families in the past had no room to speak. What made Dong Zhuo happy was that Yang Biao, Huang Wan and other members of the aristocratic family who had supported him obeyed his words, including the new members of the party.
Dong Zhuo was also grateful.
Together, these people spent the whole day studying how to divide the power in the hands of aristocratic families, and they were very busy.
After the division of power, military power will follow. Will the aristocratic family be willing to be exploited? Jia Rong thought to himself.
The Xianlian Pavilion in the capital is operating at the fastest speed. The situation in Luoyang is too chaotic. There are only a handful of forces on the surface, but what is hidden in the dark is unpredictable. Jia Rong maintains the policy of not attacking others.
, in the court, apart from fighting for fame and fortune for his soldiers, Dong Zhuo was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
"Your Majesty, the Xiyuan Army formed by the late Emperor has now been divided into pieces. Please ask Your Majesty to order the restoration of the Xiyuan Army." Dong Zhuo paid his respects.
"Accurate!" Emperor Han found that he had said these two words so numbly that he came out of his mouth easily.
Yuan Wei paid his respects and said: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty and there are constant voices of rebellion in the country. If we form an army, it will inevitably consume more money and food. Let us wait for a while before making a final decision." When it comes to military power, the family will not give in.
.
The Han Emperor looked at Dong Zhuo in embarrassment and said: "My dear, this..."
Dong Zhuo said: "What Taifu said is wrong. At the time of the late emperor, the Xiyuan Army was an elite army. In fact, it did not require much money or food to set up the Xiyuan Army, because the organization of the Xiyuan Army is still there. All it takes is a decree from the Holy Spirit to let Xiyuan Army be established."
The army can return."
Yuan Wei's expression changed slightly, and he argued with reason: "When the Holy One left the palace, there was great chaos in the capital, and the Xiyuan Army was also incorporated into the various armies. If we force the recruitment, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. I hope the Holy One will think twice.
"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "What the Grand Master said is a big mistake. How could it lead to instability in the morale of the army? Grand Master, let me tell you, I have tens of thousands of troops guarding Luoyang, how can I dare to rebel against my superiors?"
Yuan Wei hesitated for a moment, his face kept changing, he was always the Tutor of a country, he calmed down and said: "Why does Master Sikong want to rebuild the Xiyuan Army?"
Dong Zhuoyi said righteously: "The situation in the world is unclear, and the emperor needs an elite army to protect him. The Xiyuan Army is the best choice. It was established at the time of the late emperor and cost countless money. All the soldiers in the army are
People who are brave and good at fighting don't need too much training."
The emperor of the Han Dynasty was very excited when he heard this. The current situation in the court made the young emperor understand the importance of the army. If he had such an army in his hands, it would not take long for him to have the ability to fight against Dong Zhuo and others.
Capital, his hands were trembling slightly with excitement.
The ministers headed by Yuan Wei argued hard and always disagreed with the rebuilding of the Xiyuan Army, so they had to give up temporarily. Although Dong Zhuo was very strong, he did not dare to openly resist everyone's wishes. His previous rude behavior in the court was helpless.
Since he is in control of the court, he must open up his voice. This is what Li Ru taught him repeatedly.
Dong Zhuo's actions deeply aroused the heart of the aristocratic family. Yuan Shao, following the suggestion of his uncle Yuan Wei, left with his seal and went straight to Bohai County. Many members of the aristocratic family left the capital to observe the changes in the current situation.
"How dare you, you, the Yuan family, have gone against me many times, huh." First, Yuan Shu escaped from the capital, and now Yuan Shao went to Bohai again, which clearly shows that there is a big problem.
Li Ru on the side said: "My lord, there is no need to worry. It is difficult for a small Yuan Shao to achieve great things. Luoyang is located in the world, so just stick to the surrounding passes."
Dong Zhuo agreed, but he still felt unhappy in his heart.
"Not only that, my lord will publicly present Yuan Shao as Bohai Governor in the court hall tomorrow." Li Ru continued to persuade.
Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this. Unable to control his anger any longer, he pointed at Li Ru's nose and cursed.
Li Ru lowered his head, like a child who made mistakes, quietly listening to Dong Zhuo's teachings.
After a long time, the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart was suppressed a lot, and he said calmly: "It's just a matter of literature and art. I'm tired, you go down."
Li Ruyu stopped talking to Dong Zhuo and left without making any further provocation.
Just when Li Ru couldn't get out of the cup of tea, Dong Zhuo grabbed the bamboo slips on the table and threw them out of the room. The tables on both sides were overturned and fell to the ground.
When it was over, Dong Zhuo breathed heavily, looking at the messy house, and called a few maids to tidy it up.
After handling all the affairs, Jia Rong walked on the wide streets in the city. There are four main streets in Luoyang City, which can accommodate five horses riding abreast. Jia Rong roughly measured it and found that it was about twenty meters wide, which was more than 20 meters wide.
Zhijincheng is slightly better, with four main streets lined with shops, restaurants, etc. The layout of the entire Luoyang is orderly. Each main road is divided into three again. Officials, ministers, etc. walk on the middle road, while ordinary people walk on the middle road.
They walk on the left and right roads to show the officials' detached status, but Jincheng has only one main street.
Jia Rong came out to relax, so he wore very ordinary casual clothes and followed the lone wolf soldiers in front, left, and behind.
Looking at the prosperous city of Luoyang, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling that if historical development were to follow, this paradise would be in ruins. Putting aside his troubled thoughts, Jia Rong walked into a shop called Baobuzhai on the roadside.
Seeing this, the lone wolf soldier in the distance patrolled around the shop calmly, keeping an eye on what was going on inside.
"How do you sell this?" Jia Rong asked, picking up a gold hairpin.
The shop owner opened his lazy eyes, glanced at the hairpin in Jia Rong's hand and said, "Thirty thousand dollars."
Jia Rong couldn't help but click his tongue. Such a small thing is so expensive. It is exclusive to the rich second generation.
After asking about the prices of several items in succession, the shop owner looked dissatisfied and regarded Jia Rong as a poor boy pretending to be wealthy.
What surprised Jia Rong even more was that there was a piece of soap produced by Xianlian Pavilion here. Jia Rong pointed at it in astonishment and asked: "How to sell this thing?"
Although the shop owner was dissatisfied, he still replied: "Ten thousand dollars."
"Oh, is there anything surprising about this soap?" Jia Rong asked.
"Of course, this is the soap that Jincheng Prefect Jia Rong made for his wedding. It is the only one of its kind, so it is extremely precious." Seeing Jia Rong's questioning look, the shop owner said anxiously: "Jincheng Prefect Jia Rong, you didn't even listen.
I have said that he is an unparalleled hero, burned the Yellow Turban, defeated the Qiang people and other military exploits, none of which are enough to shock you. Even if this piece of fairy love is a bit expensive, it is worth the money." The shop owner gushed about it.
Jia Rong explains.
Thank you for your help. I am very busy at home recently, so I have to update very late every day. Please be considerate.
