Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 386 : Princes Rise

() The Baibo army took advantage of the situation and took homeless refugees. Wherever the army went, the officers and soldiers fled. Gradually, about 20 soldiers were gathered under Bocai's command. Although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was not very good, But the most important thing is that there are many people. If there are more than 20 people, it will be boundless. With [-] people, people can't help but retreat when they look at it.

The conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in Youzhou has also intensified, especially when it comes to dealing with aliens. Liu Yu has always pursued an affinity policy, while Gongsun Zan is killing and killing. Over time, the contradictions are getting deeper and deeper.

Under Yuan Shao's deliberate provocation, the two tore off the last layer of shame, and faced each other with swords and guns.

At the same time, Cao Cao's deeds in Dongjun also shocked the world. First, he defeated the Yellow Turban Army around Dongjun, incorporated them into his subordinates, practiced Cao Cao day and night, and won more than [-] elite soldiers.

Baibo and Yellow Turbans are extremely rampant in Yanzhou, Qingzhou. Liu Dai was invited by Qingzhou Mu. The soldiers fled back to Yanzhou in embarrassment, and Guo Da's reputation in the Yellow Turban was as high as the sky. Compared with defeating a state shepherd, the previous battles were all trivial.

Liu Dai himself became the senior official killed in action since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

After Liu Dai's death, Cao Cao led [-] soldiers and horses into Yanzhou under the repeated instigation of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin. Yanzhou was calmed down within a short period of time. Regarding the strategy of the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao ignored the advice of his advisers and recruited them into the army and distributed the fields. Those who are interested can find that Cao Cao’s behavior is similar to that of Jia Rong in Liangzhou. It is conceivable that the suffering people are able to have land and a stable family again, and their gratitude to Cao Cao can be imagined.

After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao had the capital and began to show his heroic means, recruiting troops and buying horses, intending to completely defeat the Yellow Turban Army in chaotic Qingzhou and other places. This coincided with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Guo Da led the Baibo army in Qingzhou, Jizhou Yanzhou is rampant, and wherever it passes, people's livelihood is withered, corpses are everywhere, and those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.

After Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to congratulate him. In his opinion, the strength of his old friend is a powerful foreign aid. The Xiliang Army in Liangzhou is too tough. If the two join forces, the Xiliang Army will not It's so terrible.

Cao cao led [-] soldiers to break through the yellow scarves of Qingzhou. The mighty Guo Da suffered an unprecedented devastating blow from Cao Cao, so he had to lead his soldiers to avoid the edge temporarily.

After defeating the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao did not chase them down like other county officials did. Instead, he used the power of the army to integrate the Yellow Turbans. During the training, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban soldiers is stronger than that of ordinary county soldiers, and they can be put into the battlefield with a little training. Moreover, Cao Cao strictly ordered his soldiers not to discriminate against the Yellow Turban Army, which won the hearts of many Yellow Turban soldiers.

The strong expansion of the Xiliang army made Cao Cao feel unprecedented panic. If you don’t fight Jia Rong, you will never imagine how many good cards he has in his hand. The cavalry’s stirrups and horseshoes can be described as a pioneering work across the ages. Cao Cao All the cavalry under his command are equipped, and the blood guard's scimitar has also been put into production after testing. However, the Central Plains lacks war horses. One cavalry is equipped enough to support five infantry. It is not as rich and powerful as Jia Rong. The Cao family is strong. With the support of financial resources, they barely got together a thousand-man cavalry, which is already a great force in the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to Qingzhou, intending to get a share of the pie. Yuan Shao's strength prevailed and he held most of Qingzhou's territory in his hands.

So far, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and his family have occupied Jizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and sent officials to govern. The court in Chang'an also turned a blind eye to this.

Gongsun Zan gathered [-] of his men to fight against Liu Yu, defeated Liu Yu, and occupied Youzhou. Youzhou lost six of them. Yu quelled the rebellions in Youzhou. Liu Yu practiced benevolent government all over the world and enjoyed great prestige among the people. Even if Youzhou was captured, Gongsun Zan still had to work hard.

Youzhou was established, and Gongsun Zan was also recruiting troops, preparing money and food, and Youzhou was close to Jizhou, so there was no guarantee that Yuan Shao would take any drastic actions.

After carefully reading the information one by one, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling that the rise of the princes of the Central Plains was too violent, which was stronger than the Xiliang Army. The common people in the Li people can live a life of just enough food and clothing. If the counties are as prosperous as a golden city, I am afraid that Jia Rong will have expanded his army to [-] long ago.

Liangzhou was originally a barren land, lacking in resources, and it was of no benefit for merchants to come here to trade.

To put it bluntly, the big man is the world of aristocratic families, composed of aristocratic families. Jia Rong's governance strategy completely conflicts with the interests of the aristocratic families. There is little possibility of cooperation between the two, but Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others have no such obstacles. They themselves are born in a family, and they are easily recognized by the family.

With a long sigh, Jia Rong got up and left. The three counties of Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Jiuquan were already under the control of the Xiliang army, and all ten counties of Liangzhou were under the control of Jia Rong. I believe that after some governance by the officials, they will gradually get rid of the current predicament.

Compared with the nine counties of Jingxiang, the ten counties of Liangzhou sound so spectacular, but it is not. No matter how hard Jia Rong tries, Liangzhou will always be a place of bitter cold. In the next three years, there will not be a place as surpassing as Jincheng. The rise of Jincheng relies on Xianlian Pavilion, unless Jia Rong can create another existence comparable to Xianlian Pavilion to drive the economic development of the counties.

Like Beidi County, apart from the advantage of being tough, it can be said that they are poor. If the battle breaks out, Jia Rong will already laugh out loud if they can not hold back.

The agriculture in the Hexi Corridor was an eye-opener for Jia Rong, who was used to the barrenness of Liangzhou. The pleasant scenery and the herds of cattle and sheep are rare treasures. It can be said that the most important thing in Liangzhou is the Hexi Corridor. It will become an important food base, and it will also become a war horse base for the Xiliang Army.

Standing on a high place overlooking this land, I believe that the Hexi Corridor will rise rapidly in a short time.

At present, the premise is to completely settle down the aliens. There are not only Di people and Qiang people but also Huns. Living in the Han territory for a long time has made them adapt to the life here.

There is no doubt about the fighting power of Zhang Liao's troops. Under the deterrence of powerful force, wherever they pass, there are voices of surrender.

Jia Rong summoned the patriarchs of the different tribes. In the face of interests, the patriarchs chose to submit. The big Han's county guards in Jiuquan and other three places completely rejected the aliens. In their words, it was the kingdom of heaven. Can accommodate Rong Di.

The army Zhang Liao belonged to was left behind by Jia Rong at Yumen Pass. It was called guarding the frontier, but in fact it was guarding Jia Rong's racecourse. When Zhang Liao saw the establishment of the Hexi racecourse, he would not have any complaints. It also belongs to the frontier area, and most of the soldiers are cavalry. The Xiliang Army has its own horse farm. One can imagine the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of cavalry galloping in the near future.

Dunhuang was defeated, and Zhang Li sent officials to manage it. Today's Xiliang Army Group is no longer comparable to the past. Officials are dispatched according to procedures. No matter how outstanding your ability is, you must start from the grassroots. Most of the talented people were appointed by Zhang Li as the magistrate of a county, and their political achievements were used as the capital for their promotion.

With Jia Rong not in Chang'an, the minds of the officials in the court became active again. The actions of Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and other newcomers made the officials in the court happy but also full of worry.

The good news is that these princes are all family members, and they have conflicts of interest with Jia Rong. If these princes gather together again to attack Jia Rong in Chang'an, the big things will be settled.

No matter how high the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is, it was able to resist the Kwantung princes in the past, mostly relying on Dong Jun, and the Xiliang Army is not monolithic. The officials in the DPRK believed that these generals might turn against them, otherwise why Jia Rong sent Zhang Liao to Yumen Pass to guard the border pass, it was just rhetoric.

The worry is that among these princes, will there be any one who really wants to revitalize the Han Dynasty? The repeated bloodbaths in Chang'an let the officials see the tough methods of the people in Chang'an City. How can a pen be compared to a gun.

"Cao Cao!" During Jia Rong's absence, rumors of this man's deeds spread widely, and the speed of his rise was staggering but natural. Many officials from the past and the Cao family secretly sent people to contact him.

After Jia Rong pacified Dunhuang, Emperor Han couldn't sit still, and repeatedly summoned the ministers of the court in private, often discussing until midnight.

However, in recent days, Chang'an has calmed down strangely. The officials in the court seem to have forgotten the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Dahan.

Looking at the information in his hands, Jia Xu revealed an imperceptible smile, what if he infringed on the interests of the aristocratic family, how could the Xiliang army be shaken by these rotten scholars in the court, the princes could not be attacked like the eighteen princes of the past Collected like that, Jia Rong’s control over military power is definitely the strongest. Even if the generals of the Bingzhou Army intend to rebel, the soldiers at the bottom may not necessarily agree. After spending a lot of effort and money, many former Bingzhou Army generals and Families of soldiers were taken to Jincheng or Chang'an.

Ever since Jia Rong left Chang'an, these aristocratic families have been dishonest. They have behaved peacefully on the surface, secretly doing things that the Xiliang army did not dare to know, like the people in the city rebelling. Little trouble, Jia Xu doesn't want the world to see how brutal the Xiliang Army is.
