Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Some officials even linked some rebels of the Han Dynasty with Jia Rong. The reason is naturally Jia Rong's theory of water boats. It can be said that Jia Rong's name is filtered in the ears of Emperor Han several times a day, but These news are not good for Jia Rong.

The most trusted people of Emperor Han were always Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. After coming down from the court, he would naturally ask about their rewards for Jia Rong, especially what Zhang Rang said in the court today made Han Emperor wake up. This gives more trust to the eunuch.

Zhang Rang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the good news came from Changsha today, and the Holy Majesty immediately named him the prefect of Changsha." After that, Zhang Rang stood quietly aside. will understand what to do.

Sure enough, as Zhang Rang expected, Emperor Han patted his head and said: "If it wasn't for Father, I would almost have missed a major event."

"It's just that Jia Rong is trustworthy?" Emperor Han asked.

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, you can test Jia Rong. The treasury of the Han Dynasty is empty, and the aristocratic family has food and grass but does not support it. This is the best way to test Jia Rong's loyalty."

"How do you say that?" Emperor Han asked eagerly.

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty can issue an imperial decree, saying that the treasury is empty, and ask Jia Rong to prepare some food and grass. At that time, we will see whether Jia Rong is loyal or not. It is expected that Jia Rong's army does not have much food and grass at this time. It is time to test him."

Emperor Han frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "In my father's opinion, how should Jia Rong's official position be rewarded?"

Zhang Rang said with a smile: "Does the Holy Majesty want the frontiers to rekindle wars or settle down?"

"Of course I want to settle down." After speaking, Emperor Han didn't ask any more questions.

On the next day at the court, Emperor Han issued a decree to "make Jia Rong the prefect of Jincheng and govern Jincheng County!"

Even though Jia Rong is a minister of tigers and wolves, Han Sui is a real rebel. It is a good choice to leave Jia Rong to resist Han Sui's rebels in Jincheng, not to mention the barrenness of Jincheng County is well known in all dynasties. Not only do they not get any tax every year, but they have to pay a sum of money instead. It is nothing to hand over such a city to Jia Rong for management. ..

In fact, Yuan Kai also regretted what the court said afterwards. As long as there is news from Jincheng asking for food and grass, Yuan Kai will come forward and disagree. If a little general does something right, won't this indirectly elevate Jia Rong's status.

When the news reached Jincheng County, the generals of the Xiliang Army were excited again. Before Jia Rong was demoted, they followed Jia Rong, and their positions would of course be lowered. Now that Jia Rong has become the prefect again, it is natural that one person has won the Tao and his subordinates have been promoted.

Under the support of the defenders in the city, Ulan Miwei and the two counties soon occupied Chengji and Ayang counties. The three counties were the horns of each other. The one with the highest morale was also the one with the most powerful troops. When Jia Rong left a few days ago, Li Shun's trapped camp was stationed in Pingxiang, which happened to be cheaper for Jiang Yu.

Contrary to the joy of Jia Rong's Xiliang army, Han Sui had overturned the table in the tent for the eighth time, and kept cursing words like "Jia Rong's son, you are shameless". Hanyang County is just a wish, and Jincheng County is Han Sui's base camp. Han Sui would rather not have Hanyang than lose Jincheng, not to mention that his general Yan Xing was also captured alive by Jia Rong.

What's even more hateful is that Chengji and Ayang counties were also easily captured by Jia Rongjun. Now Han Sui only has the four counties of Lueyang and Wangyuan in Long County, and his power has shrunk by more than half. Ji County has not yet been breached.

The reason why Han Sui got the news and still confronted Dong Zhuo in Longguan was because Han Sui wanted to acquire Hanyang County. Now that the back road was completely cut off, Han Sui had no choice but to take Hanyang. Jia Rong got the help of Li Wenhou, and the army was at its peak. What I can resist, Dong Zhuo in Longguan is not what I can capture by myself. The biggest hope is that the coalition forces can quickly capture Ji County, the prefecture.

Knowing that the two counties of Chengji and Ayang were breached because of the echo of the defenders in the city, Han Sui transferred all the Qiang people belonging to Li Wenhou in the remaining four counties to his side, but Han Sui's action was still a step slower. The Qiang people in the four counties had already taken refuge in Ulan in Ayang.

At this time, Han Sui didn't pay much attention to it. He took the [-] Qiang soldiers sent to him by Li Wenhou as the vanguard to attack Ji County, the prefecture of Hanyang County. The morale of the coalition forces reached the lowest point. However, the loss of Jincheng County was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. The results of the coalition forces' efforts over the past few months disappeared in an instant.

These [-] Qiang soldiers are even more miserable. Now that things have happened, they also want to escape from Han Sui and flee back to Jincheng. After the previous incident, Han Sui's guarding has been strengthened a lot. After being killed, Xian Lingqiang's soldiers were blocked from the rear, so they had no choice but to follow Han Sui wholeheartedly.

Dong Zhuo of Longguan also quickly got the news that Jia Rong occupied Jincheng County, and let out a hearty laugh. To be honest, it was the first time that Han Sui suffered such a big loss. The color sank, why Jia Rong was able to take back Jincheng County without any effort, this is worth pondering.

Li Rudao: "My lord, now that Jia Rong has occupied Jincheng County and has the strength to fight against the Han court, even if the officials of the court want to make things difficult, they will be helpless." After saying these words, Li Ru felt very unwilling, If Dong Zhuo's army occupied Jincheng County, their strength would definitely be greatly improved.

Dong Zhuo has been famous in Xiliang for a long time, and Longxi County is where he started. In Longxi, Dong Zhuo has unimaginable prestige. In name, Dong Zhuo is still the prefect of Hedong. However, there have been wars on the frontier for many years. How can Dong Zhuo have time to return to Hedong County? It is said that Dong Zhuo's lair is in Longxi.

In fact, Hedong County is still very good. At least one point is very close to Luoyang. As long as there is any change in Luoyang, it can be reached in a few days by speeding up the march. Moreover, the ancients believed that the closer to the capital is better. I don't know how comfortable the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Dong Zhuo said: "Jincheng County occupied by Jia Rong, Han Sui's son will withdraw his troops in a short time, and sent an order to let Guo Si and Hua Xiong come back." He was very dissatisfied with Hua Xiong and Guo Si in words, Jia Rong captured Jincheng County so quickly However, there was no news from the generals of these two armies.

Li Ru nodded, agreeing with Dong Zhuo's statement.

"Wen You, do you think Jia Rong is still the Zhiyuan we knew back then? Why is it that I can't see through him more and more?" Dong Zhuo expressed his doubts.

"Jia Rong's behavior is eclectic. You can see it from what he did in Beidi County a few days ago. He is also a master who doesn't pay attention to the Han Dynasty. His remarks in Luoyang have made the world even more angry. Shocked, the Emperor of Han named him the captain of the Qiang Guard and guarded Pingxiang, but in fact he wanted to eradicate Jia Rong, but Jia Rong took the opportunity to regain Jincheng, which is unpredictable."

Li Ru went on to say: "However, the key to Jia Rong's ability to quickly take back the Jincheng occupied by the rebels must be the [-] Qiang soldiers outside Pingxiang City. Qiang people, and then use the Qiang people to counterattack Jincheng in one fell swoop."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "It's just how the Qiang people trust Jia Rong. This time the Qiang people killed the Qiang captain, and there is no way out. Would they listen to Jia Rong's words?" Although Dong Zhuo is a general, his strategy is still Yes, if you can't see such a basic thing, you don't have to mess around anymore.

Li Ru smiled and said, "My lord, have you forgotten that there are many Qiang soldiers in Jia Rong's army? When my lord fought with the Qiang people, Jia Rong took advantage of the situation and recruited many Qiang soldiers."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "That's true, but what does this matter have to do with Li Wenhou's 2 horses? You must know that the Qiang people are composed of many tribes, and it is difficult for Li Wenhou alone to convince them, let alone let them 2 horses have surrendered."

Li Ru said without hesitation: "My lord, do you know that there is a rule in Jia Rong's army?"

"What?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"In Jia Rong's army, both Qiang soldiers and Han soldiers are equal, and even the military pay is the same. Even the generals in the army have many Qiang people. Jia Rong then expressed his affection to Li Wenhou Xiaozhi outside the city. With reason, it is very easy to gain the trust of Li Wenhou." Li Ru is very familiar with some things in Jia Rongjun, especially some regulations in Jia Rongjun.

Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "In this way, Jia Rong's strength will be greatly improved, I am not as good as it!"

Li Su standing next to him stood up and said: "Jia Rong has a man who is a wolf, so he should have seized his military power at the beginning, and this time he should not have sent troops to help. That Jia Rong is cunning, I wonder if he will let General Hua and General Guo come back this time?" , My lord should make plans early."

Li Ru said indifferently: "My lord's rescue of Jia Rong's army seems useless, but in fact he has saved Jia Rong's life. In the future, my lord will call for something. I think Jia Rong will not refuse."

Dong Zhuo directly filtered Li Su, what Li Ru said was exactly what he wanted, and his purpose was to let Jia Rong remember his kindness.

Li Su and Li Ru are known as Dong Zhuo's second Li, but Li Su's position in Dong Zhuo's heart is far less than Li Ru's. There is a kind of fear from the bottom of my heart, especially Li Ru's methods of manipulating people. Li Su has witnessed Li Ru silently killing one obstacle after another in Dong Zhuo's way forward. shudder.

Dong Zhuo asked: "Now that Jia Rong has captured Jincheng County, should our army attack Han Sui or hold back?" Jia Rong has made a great contribution, and Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to wipe out Han Sui in one fell swoop, which must be a great contribution One thing, from the bottom of his heart, Dong Zhuo still considers himself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he still wanted to assist the emperor, but seeing that the emperor at that time was a little cowardly, he wanted to choose another wise emperor. Just imagine a powerful minister with ulterior motives. Let the emperor be wise, the majesty of the Han Dynasty for 400 years has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
