Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 380: Martial Arts Tournament

Along the way, the Xiliang Army rushed to Jiuquan County, located in the plateau area, some soldiers vomited and dizzy, but they eased up after a short rest.

Jiuquan, this place is very famous in later generations, Jia Rong had to sigh again.

"My lord, the city is not safe, so we should bring more soldiers." Seeing that Jia Rong was about to enter the city alone, Zhang Liao hurriedly persuaded him.

Jia Rong turned around, looked at Xu Shu and Zhang Liao, nodded with a smile, and said, "Jiuquan is located in the frontier, and the folk customs are tough, which is normal. I will set up a arena here in the future to meet the heroes of the three nearby counties."

Xu Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said yes, under Jia Rong's gaze, he who once commanded thousands of troops trembled slightly. After more than a year, this lord seemed to have changed a lot, and there was a faint hidden meaning in his body. His temperament made Xu Shu a little nervous.

"Zilong, let the blood guard follow, otherwise I will be in danger in the city, and you won't be able to explain it when you go back." Jia Rong joked.

Xu Shu and Zhang Liao heard these words in a different way, they had ruled the place for more than a year, and the lord came in person, yet even had to guard him closely.

The people in the city had already ordered Xu Shu to stand quietly on both sides of the street.

Jia Rong felt curiosity, laughter, and even anger from their eyes.

The blood guard felt a little surprised that there was no buzzing scene. In the past, which city had the people rushed to watch, and the buzzing sound was endless. This kind of weird silence gave them the feeling that they were too redundant. The most important thing is tension. Under such an atmosphere, it is difficult to guarantee that some extremely vicious people will be killed, and the strength of the aristocratic family is all over the big man.

Going through this road that Jia Rong thought was very difficult, Jia Rong felt an unprecedented sense of loss. Even if he had a million soldiers in his hands, so what? How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep it? How can you talk about fighting for hegemony if you don't get the hearts of ordinary people.

"Yuanzhi, there is still a big gap between your ability to lead troops and arrange troops to fight and your ability to govern the local area."

"My lord, forgive me!" Xu Shu knelt down in front of Jia Rong. Ever since his mother was taken to Jincheng, Xu Shu has been determined to follow Jia Rong and do his best in the army.

Jia Rong stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Yuan Zhi, I believe you have a specific understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Now I send you to the military division. Do you have any objections?"

"Follow my lord's order!" Xu Shu bowed and bowed.

Arrange Xu Shu by Jia Xu's side and learn more battlefield strategies. The Xiliang army will definitely take the offensive route in the future. The influence of the Liang army has been reduced to a minimum. Apart from Li Ru, other generals can also turn the camp under the attitude of Corporal Jia Rong Lixian. With all his heart and soul, Tian Punishment, who was in charge of investigating the situation of the officials, reported everyone's news to Jia Xu.

"Tell me about the situation in the city."

"After the rebellion of the Di people in the city, the people's livelihood in Jiuquan, which was already poor, was even worse. Moreover, under the malicious manipulation of the merchants, the price of food and rice increased rapidly. Many people lost their lives because of this, or lived on the streets. Changing the status quo, who would have thought that the situation would become more and more complicated, the Di people, the Han people and a few Qiang people in Jiuquan City are mixed together, so the situation is unknown." After Xu Shu finished speaking, his face turned red. When Rong led the army to arrive, there was a scene where the people did not close their homes at night and did not pick up their belongings.

"What about you?" Jia Rong turned his gaze to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's face turned purple, and after a while, he clasped his fists and bowed, "I have failed to complete the task assigned by the general. I have lost my trust. Please punish the general. Whether it is life or death, Zhang Liao will never frown."

"Wen Yuan, I heard you say that you seem to have entered the enemy's camp. Why, do you think we are enemies?" Jia Rong joked.

Zhang Liao muttered: "Humble job...humble job"

"Wen Yuan, you and I are brothers. Besides, people are not sages and sages. Tell me about the general situation of Jiuquan. Which tribes are more rebellious and difficult to tame."

Zhang Liao's heart was full of turmoil. Hearing someone say "You and I are brothers", there is a world of difference from Jia Rong's sentence. For a moment, Zhang Liao felt as if he was about to explode, and his whole body was full of infinite fighting spirit. Jia Rong's eyes became more and more eager, as if he saw a beautiful woman in sexy clothes who was dancing.

Xu Shu kept Zhang Liao silent for a long time, and pushed Zhang Liao who was in reverie.

"General, there are often disputes between the Di people and the Han people in the city. Mr. Xu governs with the idea of ​​equality for everyone, which has caused turmoil among the people in the city. The tribe of the Di people has repeatedly asked the prefect for supplies."

Seeing Jia Rong turn his gaze to him, Xu Shu nodded.

"Oh, so it's the people in the city who are in constant turmoil, not the Di people?"

Zhang Liao nodded and shook his head again, "Most of the people's turmoil is due to the soaring price of rice and grain, and the people are unwilling to leave their hometowns. The Di people's turmoil is due to the uneven distribution of tribes and the contradictions of the Qiang people. Sometimes the Qiang people also Dissatisfied with governance, leading a rebellion."

Jia Rong waved his hand to signal Zhang Liao to stop. After what Zhang Liao said, Jia Rong felt that a small Jiuquan was more complicated than the world's major events. No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are playing the Three Kingdoms. If you punch me, I will punch him later. After a while, another party was not convinced, fanned the flames, and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.

"What's the matter with the rice grain? Didn't Jincheng send money and grain?"

Xu Shu said: "Jincheng's money and grain did reduce the price of rice and grain in the city a lot for a period of time, but after a while, the government's rice grain was empty and the price rose again."

Jia Rong nodded. It seems that there are still capable people in Jiuquan who know how to make profits.

"Which aristocratic families are there in the city?" Jia Rong asked without raising his head, and circled with a brush in his hand.

"There are three families in the city, Lu, Yu, and Lian. These three families are very stable in the city. In the matter of rice and grain in the city, the humble official also visited the door. The three family heads completely separated everything from them, and even supported the prefect's mansion. Some money and food."

"The three families are all calm?" Jia Rong asked.

"That's true, and the three families don't interact with each other, and usually follow the rules."

With a flick of his wrist, the brush in his hand circled the three words Lu Yulian together, and a long arrow pointed directly at Mi Liang.

Xu Shu was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood what this symbol meant, so he couldn't help asking: "My lord, the Sanjia doesn't seem to be the manipulator behind Miliang."

Jia Rong laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Zhi, the world is not as simple as you think. All the big families in the world have heard about my way of governing the country. Under the eyes of the Xiliang Army, the family will definitely do everything possible to cover up their own. , there must be something wrong with the three families you mentioned, and if you don’t believe me, you will know the result in three days.” As early as when Jia Rong came to Jiuquan, he ordered the lone wolf soldiers to investigate the affairs of the three major families in Jiuquan immediately after entering Jiuquan. In fact, it is also to create a sense of mystery.

Xu Shu bowed: "My lord is wise!"

"Don't flatter me. Once the affairs in the city are settled, you get up and rush to Chang'an. Wen Yuan will stay in Jiuquan temporarily."

"No!" The two bowed in unison.

Thousands of reinforcements came to the city, calming the people in the city and the Di and Qiang people. However, it seems that these thousands of troops are just for decoration, stationed outside the city, and usually gallop outside the city, as if training , Those familiar faces are still patrolling.

After a short period of silence, the noisy Jiuquan fell into the hustle and bustle again. Jia Rong's arrival in Jiuquan caused great waves. Even if the people were kept out of news, they had heard about the achievements of the Xiliang Army.

"The prefect will set up a ring in the city three days later. Anyone can participate. No. 1 will get a hundred taels of gold and be given an official position. No. 2 will get 50 taels of gold, No. 3 will have 30 taels of gold, No. 4 will get 20 taels of gold, No.5 to No.10 Golden Twelve." A patrol soldier ran and shouted, causing a great commotion wherever he passed.

What is the concept of "a hundred gold?" It is enough for a bachelor to marry a three-bedroom beautiful wife, and live the rest of his life happily. I have to say that the Xiliang Army is rich and powerful, and they directly use gold as a reward.

A Di man who reacted grabbed the patrolling soldier and said loudly, "Is what you said true?"

The soldier was caught by the Di people, feeling unhappy, "There is a notice posted in front of the city gate, you can go and have a look, it has the seal of the prefect on it."

"Can Di people go too?"

"It says anyone, that is to say, no matter if they are Di, Qiang or Han, they can go."

Di Ren finally let go of the soldier's hand, the patrolling soldiers took a look at Di Ren, and continued to promote the great cause, spreading such news, the soldiers finally realized a thing called attention, wherever they went, there were people who kept asking questions. The endless eyes, what a scenery, it is a world of difference from the past where no one looks at it.

In less than half a day, the news that the Jiuquan prefect's mansion will set up a arena spread all over the streets and alleys. Everyone is discussing this issue fiercely. The people's impression of the prefect is only a short stay. Afterwards, soldiers were stationed in the city, but the people who rebelled would be slaughtered and beaten mercilessly. However, the prefect's mansion really had nothing to say about the people. In the cold winter, there was a porridge shed at the gate of the city to help common people.

Setting a reward of one hundred gold in the arena will make many people stand up, no matter if they are real heroes or villains, they will not miss this opportunity to gain both utilitarianism and profit.

Lu Fang, the Patriarch of the Lu family, sneered after hearing the news reported by Ding Ding: "Bai Jin, set up a ring, it seems that the prefect has nothing to do, let the price of rice rise again, I want to see Mr. Xu how to respond."

"No!" After listening to Lu Fang's nagging, the butler bowed to accept the order.
