Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 275: An Angry Attack on the River East

()0-05-20

Jia Rong was wearing golden armor and stepped up to the high platform with firm steps. The Xiliang Army did not have any items to command the army, and the Qingzhi sword was temporarily used as a command to the three armies.

Picking up the green sword, he pulled it out slowly and heavily, a smear of blue mixed with black light reflected the sunlight and was eye-catching. Jia Rong in golden armor was like a god of war descending under the sunlight, attracting everyone's attention.

"Let's go!" Jia Rong's deep and provocative voice stirred in the hearts of every soldier.

The [-] cavalrymen were quickly divided into four teams under the leadership of their respective generals, and filed out from the four gates of Jincheng.

Jia Rong did not deliberately conceal the news of Jincheng's dispatch of troops. He had letters from the eunuchs in his hand, and the interrogation of the counties along the way was no problem. Cooperate, but dare not openly disobey.

In contrast, Dong Zhuo, who was summoned by He Jin, was different. Now He Jin is very powerful, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and also the uncle of the Holy One. He has a faint dominance in the court, and officials from all over the country naturally want to curry favor .

Four thousand cavalrymen formed a torrent at Jincheng Exchange and headed in the direction of Luoyang, the banner with the word "Jia" waving in the wind.

All 600 infantry soldiers served as food transporters. The first and second battalions had a total of 400 soldiers, and the remaining [-] were all the best infantry soldiers. Carriages full of grain and grass were slowly driving on the official road. The commander of the infantry It was Zhang Wei, assisted by Li Shun and Gao Shun. After years of training, Zhang Wei had already adapted to the position of infantry commander, and he was able to do it with ease.

In order to ensure the safety of food and grass, Jia Rong selected a hundred cavalry from the army to act as scouts for the infantry.

Half a month later, Jia Rong, who was leisurely on the road, received a message from Luoyang that Jia Rong was once again named the prefect of Jincheng and the captain of the Qiang guard.

Jia Rong's entry to Beijing became legal under He Jin's secret promise. The banner was naturally to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Hedong. The counties along the way saw Jia Rong's arrival and politely invited him to enter the city.

Chao Zhongwu also couldn't do anything about it. As a general, He Jin was in charge of the world's military power and was responsible for the dispatch of the world's soldiers and horses. Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo were ordered to come to Hedong to suppress it. It was justifiable, and the eunuchs did not stop him.

Anywhere with four thousand cavalry is a beautiful landscape. Along the way, I heard that this army is the Xiliang Army led by Jia Rong, and they all avoided it. Jia Rong often led the army to wipe out bandits. It is well known that the Xiliang Army has become a teacher of benevolence and righteousness in the eyes of the people.

The Han Emperor just passed away, and the world is about to be in chaos. The Xiliang Army no longer needs to hide anything deliberately.

When the Xiliang army arrived, the people along the way cheered and celebrated, and lined the road to welcome them, vying to provide the Xiliang army with news about the bandits and robbers.

Jia Rong's hatred for the bandits was beyond words. Whenever the common people came to report, they would send troops there. In this way, the speed of the march slowed down a lot. In Luoyang, He Jin was safe, and Jia Rong Naturally, Rong was not in a hurry, he came to Luoyang this time to reap the benefits.

Although it is a troubled time, the bandits and bandits are still rich in oil and water, which alleviates the supply problem of the Xiliang cavalry to a certain extent, and a large amount of money is also distributed to the cavalry under Jia Rong, and the soldiers' fighting spirit is even more high-spirited.

In his letter, He Jin clearly stated that all the counties along the way would fully support the army led by Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo, but how many people actually provided money and food? After years of wars and natural disasters, the people's livelihood has been exhausted. Even thousands of miles in the wilderness.

Wherever Jia Rong led the Xiliang army, bandits and robbers all fled, and wherever they passed, the law and order remained quiet.

Guo Da, the Yellow Turban general in Hedong, is not an unknown person. At the beginning of the rebellion in Youzhou and Jizhou, Guo Da integrated the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in nearby counties in Baibo Valley, so he was also called Baibo Army. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were suppressed After going down, the Baibo army took the opportunity to become active, attacking Taiyuan in the north and heading south to Hedong, with a total of 10 people. These yellow scarf soldiers fought bravely and feared death.

After the death of Emperor Han and Emperor Shao ascended the throne, Guo Da made great efforts to contact the Shanyu Fuluo of the Southern Huns, and attacked Hedong again, and captured Hedong County in one fell swoop. At this point, the capital was shaken, and Dong Zhuo and Jia Rong were summoned.

Yu Fuluo sent tens of thousands of troops to cooperate with Guo Da, and the Southern Huns were also isolated and helpless at this time.

Initially, He Jin thought that Guo Da was just a small remnant of the Yellow Turbans. By chance, he captured Hedong County. He didn't expect such a strong fighting force. He secretly rejoiced that he summoned Dong Zhuo and Jia Rong to Beijing.

Let's say that Dong Zhuo led the army all the way to Hedong and immediately launched an attack on Hedong.

In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising, although it was wiped out by the Han army in a short period of time, left behind countless fires. In the past few years, news of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans ravaging counties and counties is common, not only because of Zhang Jiao's great influence among the people However, more people were desperate and joined the Yellow Turbans.

After the death of Emperor Han, the world became more turbulent.

Dong Zhuo attacked Hedong many times but failed. At this time, the generals guarding Hedong City were the generals under Guo Dazheng, who was leading the army active in Hanoi.

The general defending the army is Guo Fei, the number one general under Guo Da's command. He is brave and resourceful, and has won Guo Da's trust, so he was sent to guard Hedong City.

Before leaving, Guo Da repeatedly told Guo Fei to just stick to the east of the river and draw the strength of the Han army.

No matter how Dong Zhuo abused him outside the city, Guo Fei still couldn't hold on. Although the morale of his subordinates was a bit low, Dong Zhuo was helpless with the majestic Hedong City.

In Hedong, Dong Zhuo's army was not familiar with his place of birth. Dong Zhuo was the governor of Hedong, but he was a general of Liangzhou. The people in Hedong probably didn't know that Dong Zhuo was the governor of Hedong.

After such a stalemate for half a month, Jia Rong led the army belatedly.

Hearing that Jia Rong led the army, Dong Zhuo went out to meet him personally. All the generals in the army followed Dong Zhuo to greet him. Although there were many complaints, they did not dare to speak out. In the welcoming team, Li Ruhaoran was included, and there was a group of them. A harmless smile on his face.

Seeing the tall and stout figure not far away, Jia Rong hastily got off his horse and walked to the gate, followed closely by Lu Bu, Jiang Yu and other generals.

"Greetings, General!" Approaching Dong Zhuo, Jia Rong sincerely bowed without any pretension, and Lu Bu and others also bowed.

Seeing this, Li Ru's complexion slightly improved behind Dong Zhuo.

"Zhiyuan, please get up quickly!" Dong Zhuo kindly helped Jia Rong up.

Of course, the old boss had a lot to say when they met with the old subordinates, so there were only Jia Rong, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in the whole tent.

After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Zhuo said, "The general ordered me to attack Hedong quickly. I wonder what clever plan Zhiyuan has?"

Jia Rong smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Dong, our army is also new here. How can we come up with a clever plan to defeat the enemy? Why don't we first observe the east of the river and then make a decision. Mr. Dong has been here for a long time, how many yellow scarves are there in the city?"

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Zhiyuan's words are reasonable, but the Yellow Turban has no morals. If it doesn't come out, it will definitely arouse public anger. At that time, our army will attack and fall."

"There are about [-] yellow scarves in the city, and the general guarding the city is Guo Fei, the number one general under Guo Da's command."

Jia Rong said: "In this way, it will be more difficult to attack Hedong."

Dong Zhuo said: "Guo Fei is brave and resourceful. He has abused him many times, but he keeps guarding the city. It's best to get in touch with the aristocratic family in the city. He can open the city gate at night and break through the river east."

Jia Rong looked at Dong Zhuo in amazement, he didn't expect his thoughts to be so delicate, "But it's up to Mr. Dong!" Jia Rong said respectfully.

Li Ru on the side has been observing Jia Rong, and his face has become more dignified. From Jia Rong's behavior, Li Ru can feel Jia Rong's change. After a few years, Jia Rong is no longer the one who can make his blood boil with just a few words. generals.

"I heard that the Xiliang army led by Zhiyuan is an army of benevolence and righteousness, helping the people to wipe out the robbers along the way. Now the two armies have been in a stalemate for a long time, and the yellow scarves have been raging in the city for a long time. The people have long been unbearable. Why doesn't Zhiyuan lead the army to attack in one fell swoop? Next." Li Ru walked forward and said slowly.

Jia Rong looked a bit troubled, and said with a wry smile: "Master Li's words are reasonable, but our army is full of cavalry, and they are not good at attacking fortifications. If the yellow scarves in the city dare to leave the city, they will be smashed to pieces."

Dong Zhuo kept gesturing to Li Ru with his eyes.

Li Ru laughed loudly and said, "I often heard that the Xiliang cavalry led by Zhiyuan were brave and good at fighting, but seeing them now, it's nothing more than that! Does the little yellow scarf scare Zhiyuan?"

Jia Rong's face was distorted due to anger, and he took the case and said: "It's nonsense, I will lead the army to attack Hedong tomorrow." After saying that, he walked away, leaving Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looking at each other.

After a long time, Dong Zhuo asked in a low voice, "What does Wenyou mean by this? Jia Rong's army is all cavalry. How can we attack the Yellow Turban in the city?"

Li Ru said in a relaxed tone: "This person is either a stalwart or a passionate person."

Dong Zhuo also nodded solemnly, looking at the direction of Jia Rong's departure, he felt that Jia Rong was getting farther and farther away from him, but in his heart, Dong Zhuo still recognized Jia Rong very much. When working hard, if a big man wants to rejuvenate, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person.

After returning to the barracks, Jia Rong immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to mobilize before the battle.

"Yellow scarves are raging in Hedong City. It's the time for our Xiliang army to show its strength. Everyone should rest well tonight and wait for the battle tomorrow." Jia Rong shouted loudly at the front of the crowd.

Jia Rong is satisfied with the soldiers under his command. After several years of training, these cavalry are all brave and skilled fighters, and it is not a fantasy to rule the world.

Hearing that Jia Rongyu was going to attack Hedong, Jia Xu rushed here under the leadership of the soldiers.

"My lord!" Jia Xu's tone was a little anxious, but it was still quite satisfactory.

Jia Rong said, "What's the important thing for Wen He to come here in such a hurry?"

"There are tens of thousands of yellow scarves in Hedong City, and the walls are high and thick, so it's not easy to draw them at once. Please think twice." Jia Xu calmed down and said.

It's hard to update a chapter, I hope everyone can understand.
