Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 261: Raising Troops

()0-05-0

His bloody methods against foreigners and his determination to defend the frontier made many generals in Youzhou yearn for him. Some of the main fighters under Liu Yu's tent spoke well of Gongsun Zan every time. The majesty accumulated by the great man for hundreds of years cannot be violated.

Soldiers in the army have always admired brave generals. Although Gongsun Zan was very strict with his subordinates, even a little critical, there were still many people willing to follow him, especially the famous Baima Yicong outside the Great Wall, which attracted many young and middle-aged people.

Four months later, Liu Yu gathered [-] troops from Youzhou and confronted Zhang Ju's army in Changping. The officials under his command also respected Gongsun Zan.

During these days in Guangyang County, Jia Rong had the most unrestrained life. He took Wei Fu to the streets when he had nothing to do, haunting various streets and alleys.

While the cavalry under his command were training outside the city, Jia Rong only sent people to deliver food and clothing on a regular basis. The name of this team was "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", with 200 soldiers recruited from all over Youzhou , with the training of Jiang Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and other generals, and the assistance of Zhang Zhi, who was born as a lone wolf, the training intensity of the cavalry can be imagined.

The robbers' nests in nearby counties and counties became cavalry training grounds, and the surrounding law and order became quiet. The people in the vicinity knew that a mysterious team had appeared in Guangyang County, specializing in exterminating bandits, and their reputation was rising.

At the beginning, Lu Bu would go to Jiarong in the city every once in a while, but life in the city was boring for Lu Bu, so when Jiang Yu proposed to go to the city again, Lu Bu would not follow him no matter what.

Zhang Zhi's training methods refreshed Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and other new generals, especially the Xiliang Army's unique cavalry training methods.

Zhang Chun rebelled, and Liu Yu issued a conscription order again, recruiting people with lofty ideals to fight against the rebels.

After hearing the news, Jia Rong led [-] cavalry to join, and Lu Bu and Jiang Yu led another [-] cavalry to join.

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and greeted him personally. In Youzhou, cavalry is also rare. Except for Gongsun Zan's white horse follower, few people can form thousands of cavalry.

Sure enough, as the rumors said, Liu Yu was kind to others and had kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

At first glance, Jia Rong had a good impression of this old man. The people in the city responded to Liu Yu's call and actively joined the army, so Liu Yu was able to form a team of tens of thousands of people in just a few months.

Jia Rong's identity was exposed when Gongsun Zan arrived in the army. Hearing that Jia Rong was in the army, the morale of the Han army was even higher. Jia Rong was a figure with a halo of a famous general on his head. Although he had never seen it in person, his prestige was there .

Because of Gongsun Zan's meritorious service in annihilating Xianbei, he was conferred the title of Colonel of Jianglu and Marquis of Duting.

Liu Yu treated Jia Rong with respect to a certain extent because he thought that Jia Rong could properly contain Gongsun Zan. Few generals in the Youzhou Army dared to confront Gongsun Zan face to face.

For a team of 5 people, food and grass alone is a very troublesome thing. It is easy to form an army, but it is difficult to prepare food and grass. Four months later, Liu Yu led the army slowly to Changping.

The general guard of the Han army in Changping County breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yu leading the army. Zhang Chunqiu's combined force of 10,000+ troops approached the city, which made people tremble with fear.

Taking over the defense of Changping, Liu Yu actively listened to the generals' suggestions and strengthened the city wall. Changping is only a small city, and the city wall is not high.

And Zhang Chun suddenly got to occupy so many cities, and he also needed to digest slowly, so Liu Yu had time to grasp the city defenses slowly.

During this period, Liu Yu proposed to send envoys to Wuhuan many times, intending to let the Wuhuan people stop their troops.

In Liu Yu's perception, the culprits of this rebellion were Zhang Ju and others, and had nothing to do with the Wuhuan people. Qiu Liju's rebellion was also confused by Zhang Ju and others. Liu Yu kept sending envoys to Youbeiping , I hope Qiu Liju can learn from his mistakes.

Jia Rong shook his head secretly. Liu Yu was a Han, but he defended the aliens to such an extent. Could it be that the Wuhuan people were rebelling after they followed suit? The impression of Liu Yu was greatly reduced.

Jia Rong's reputation can be said to be quite bad, especially what Luoyang Cai Mansion said was touting the people and belittling the royal family, and Liu Yu, as the royal family, should have prejudice against Jia Rong. But treat yourself with courtesy.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun have a combined force of about 20 people. Changping's three city gates in the east, west and south are surrounded, but the north gate is unguarded. , surrounded by three and missing one, can largely prevent the defenders in the city from fleeing without a fight.

Standing on Changping City, the mighty rebel army outside the city gives people a strong sense of oppression, the flags cover the sun, and the soldiers can't see the side at a glance. If the north gate is not surrounded, Changping seems to be caught in the enemy's trap. The vast ocean.

After Jia Rong's identity was announced, he still had a high voice in the Han army.

Being in Changping, Jia Rong naturally had to put himself in Changping's shoes and consider Changping's safety, saying: "My lord, the intention of the rebel army is clearly revealed, please make a decision early." These days, Liu Yu seems to be strengthening Changping City, in fact However, he has been discussing with his generals how to persuade the Wuhuan people, and strengthening the city wall seems to appease the soldiers' emotions.

Liu Yu stroked his beard, nodded his head and said, "General Jia's words are reasonable, what good strategy do you have?" After speaking, Liu Yu cast his eyes on the civil servants under his command.

Jia Rong couldn't help being dumbfounded, trying to imagine what good suggestions a civil servant who had never been on a battlefield would make.

The civil servants and generals in the house are clearly distinguished, the civil servants on the left and the military generals on the right.

Seeing that no one answered, Wei You made a salute and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Zhang Ju and his like are just a mob assembled temporarily. 20 people are nothing to worry about. Our army's 20 victories are enough. Besides, [-] people per day The food and grass consumed are countless, as long as our army sticks to Changping, within ten days, the rebel army will run out of food, and they will surely collapse without a fight."

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Wei Caozhen's words are very true. Pass down the order to strengthen the city wall, and the generals of all ministries will perform their duties."

Jia Rong persuaded again: "My lord, don't do it. The rebels have caused great harm to the people. If they still surround Changping, I'm afraid that the people around will suffer from the flames of war. And our army's food and grass are not much. The rebels will continue to confront each other, lest something goes wrong."

"Wherever Zhang Ju and other rebels go is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they plunder villages everywhere. If this continues, the people will suffer the most. My great man has always governed the country with benevolence. How can we let the people fall into the flames of war and ignore it?"

Liu Yu looked pensive, and Jia Rong's words hit his weakness. In Youzhou, Liu Yu is a good example of loving the people like a son. If this matter gets out, it will have a bad impact on his reputation. Rong also grasped this point.

The little wind has started, all of you should work together to push the cavalry up. Friends who like cavalry remember to bookmark it. It is not only convenient for reading next time, but also supports the cliff. Thank you!
