Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Looking at what the general is doing today, it is running counter to the great Han family. In time, I am afraid that there will be no elite people and sigh." Guo Jia released what he thought was very shocking.

"Furthermore, the land of Liangzhou is barren, and everyone in the world knows that even with the Xianlian Pavilion as a support, it may not be a long-term solution. Under General Jia Zengwen's rule, the people's taxes are extremely low. I don't know where the food and grass for marching and fighting will come from?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Rong laughed and said after hearing this: "I also know about this matter. The Xiliang army is like a cloud of fierce generals and has no advisers. It is to run a school to send talents for the Xiliang army. What you said is true. The taxes of the people are not worth it." Forget it, Mr. Guo can see how the merchants in Chang'an compare with those in Neijun."

"Neijun is incomparable." Guo Jia said truthfully.

Jia Rong laughed and said: "So, this matter is easy. Mr. said that the land of Liangzhou is barren, and the grain of the people's homes gathered together may not be able to support the Xiliang army."

Guo Jia was curious, but he was still not from the Xiliang Army, so he didn't ask any questions.

"The Xiliang army seems to be the leader in the world, but it is not!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he took a look at Jia Rong, saw that his expression was still as usual, and said slowly: "In the land of Guanzhong, after the war, the people went to seven or eight, Liangzhou was barren, and Xianbei outside was watching; the princes of the Central Plains are not like that. , like Yuan Shao, four generations and three princes, with a high reputation, occupying Jizhou, recruiting virtuous and talented people, recruiting troops and buying horses, and his pictures are not small. No one dares to plunder the water armies across the river, and if time passes, the princes will rise up, has the general ever thought about it?"

Jia Rong was slightly startled. This Guo Jia was worthy of the name of a ghost. He explained the situation in a few words, but it was also a problem for the Xiliang Army. He wanted to expand the territory and lacked righteousness. At the beginning, the Emperor Han had no such problem. Now there is a tiger army in the sky, but the princes of the Central Plains are not. Like Cao Cao, he has Emperor Han in his hands, and he coerces the emperor to command the princes. His family background will inevitably attract scholars to go. It is not the same concept as Emperor Han in his hands, and Yuan Shao is not good either. It's easy, Jizhou has a lot of money and a lot of food. It is one of the big grain states of the Han Dynasty, and it has the reputation of four generations and three princes.

"Everything you say makes sense, sir, please teach me a good strategy?" Jia Rong bowed.

Guo Jia was shocked, got up quickly, helped Jia Rong up, knelt down and said: "General, Jia is just a scholar, how can he be a great gift!"

Jia Rong said solemnly, "It's about one million people and one hundred thousand troops under the Xiliang army. We have to be cautious. Listening to what you said, you will be enlightened. You deserve this gift."

Guo Jia was secretly proud that Jia Rong's ceremony had invisibly established a great prestige for himself in the Xiliang Army Group.

"Mr. Guan is pedantic about heaven and man, please help me? I don't know what you mean?" Jia Rong said in a respectful tone.

Guo Jia remained silent, paused for a moment, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, "My lord!"

With Guo Jia's help, Jia Rong was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Guo Jia up, and laughed loudly: "With the help of filial piety, I will have no worries!"

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"I wonder if sir is good at civil or military governance?" Jia Rong asked.

Guo Jia replied respectfully: "Junzhi!"

Guo Jia was notoriously uninhibited in Yingchuan Academy, and it was rare for him to be serious, but after worshiping Jia Rong as the lord, both words and etiquette were measured, even if Chen Qun was here, he couldn't fault it.

"There is a lack of strategists in the Xiliang Army. I temporarily appoint you as the Xiliang Army's staff. I don't know what you want?" Appointed as a high official.

"It's what you want!" Guo Jia bowed and bowed.

Jia Rong said: "Feng Xiao, the Xiliang Army is not the same as the army of the princes. Soldiers need to accumulate military merits to gradually become generals. It will not happen overnight, and the same is true for counselors."

Guo Jia laughed loudly and said: "My lord's words are wrong. Jia was originally a poor and white scholar. He only had a strategy in his chest. He sold it to those who know the goods. It is enough to have fine wine every day."

"However, if my lord can bestow the low-ranking luminous cup, it would be a beautiful thing." Guo Jia is good at wine. Ever since he saw Jia Rong's luminous cup and heard Liangzhou Ci, he naturally yearned for it.

"Okay, just follow Feng Xian's words! But Feng Xiao also has to promise me one request." Jia Rong agreed immediately. If Guo Jia made other requests, it would be beyond Jia Rong's expectation.

"What's the matter? Jiading won't refuse!"

A treacherous smile appeared on Jia Rong's face, "I think Fengxiao's body is really weak. From now on, you have to participate in the morning exercises of the Xiliang Army."

Without waiting for Guo Jia's objection, Jia Rong continued: "Tomorrow I will wait for you in the school grounds."

Guo Jia had no choice but to bend down to accept the order.

He was overjoyed to accept Chen Qun and Guo Jia, and the Xiliang army added internal affairs and military talents. Such a person is not well-known now, but he will be able to shake the world in the future.

The main two are people from poor families. In the Han Dynasty, when there were many aristocratic families, it was very difficult for people from poor families to do something. Although Jia Rong's early actions offended the family, he won the closeness of the poor family.

"Feng Xiao, you go to the military division and learn the military system of the Xiliang Army first."

"No!" Guo Jia bowed.

"Order, let Blacksmith Liu come to see me."

Guo Jia understood and stood up to leave.

Looking at Blacksmith Liu with a dark complexion, he couldn't help but think of the past, "Come here, give me a seat!"

Liu Tiejiang seemed a little cautious, without the feeling of being free and easy like a craftsman's workshop.

"How about the craftsman's workshop?" Jia Rong leaned slightly and asked.

Tiejiang Liu trembled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "General Qi, the craftsman workshop is getting better and better under the leadership of Mr. Pu."

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Master Liu, don't be cautious. You and I have known each other in the early years. If there is no Master Liu, what would the craftsman workshop be like? It's just like old friends meeting each other."

Blacksmith Liu Nuonuo said yes, but his expression still couldn't relax.

Jia Rong was also helpless. After occupying a high position, except for Guo Si who could occasionally talk to him, the generals who used to be called brothers in the army were always cautious when they saw him. There is a estrangement, but this estrangement is inevitable and cannot be avoided.

"Do you know the Luminous Cup?"

Seeing Blacksmith Liu confused, Jia Rong explained, "It's just glass!"

Tiejiang Liu suddenly realized that he was aware of the recently famous glass in Chang'an City. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask. The core secrets of the Xiliang Army cannot be casually inquired about.

Not only Liu Tiejiang didn't know, but even Pu Yuan in the craftsman's workshop didn't know. Although Pu Yuan was the leader of the craftsman's workshop, Jia Rong actually had his own small team to study some items.

"The general's luminous cup has been rumored in the city recently. Of course, I have heard of it. I don't know how it is made. I have never heard of it before."

Jia Rong said lightly: "This item is from the craftsman's workshop!"

Liu Tiejiang secretly regretted the slip of the tongue just now. The core secrets of the Xiliang Army cannot be inquired casually by ordinary people. He has followed Jia Rong for a long time, and he also knows something about his character. He can't know anything he shouldn't know.

"Glass is of great importance. It is another way for the Xiliang army to make money. I want to entrust the production of this thing to you. Have you ever had confidence?" Jia Rong stared at Blacksmith Liu with piercing eyes.

Pu Yuan was appointed as the leader of the craftsman's workshop. Liu Tiejiang retreated to the second line, and his influence among the craftsmen gradually decreased. This is what Jia Rong did not want to see. Blacksmith Liu can regain control of the real power of some craftsmen's workshops. With Liu's influence in the craftsman's workshop, this should be easy to do. The competition in the craftsman's workshop is a healthy development, not blindly sticking to it.

"General, leave this matter to me?" Blacksmith Liu asked.

"What? Don't dare to answer? Or don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Tiejiang Liu knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the general."

Jia Rong helped Blacksmith Liu up with a smile, and said: "The matter of glass is of great importance, and the craftsmen who make it must keep their mouths shut. You have been with the Xiliang Army for a long time, and you will handle this matter. I am at ease."

A simple "I'm at ease" moved Blacksmith Liu very much. He was originally a small blacksmith, but by chance, he joined the Xiliang Army, and gradually achieved today's achievements.

"No!" Blacksmith Liu cupped his fists and said.

Leaving the General's Mansion, Liu Tiejiang was full of energy, and his face regained his confidence. Glass, like fairy love, is a wonder in the world.

While Liu Tiejiang was secretly making glasses and balls in the workshop, Jia Rong was working hard to investigate the shortcomings of the new military system, especially the instructors sent to each company must be properly arranged.

The school in the south of Chang'an City, when Jia Rong and the blood guards appeared here, caused waves no less than an earthquake of magnitude [-]. In the past, Jia Rong was busy with political affairs and ignored the school. A group of civil servants select talents.

"Congratulations, General!" A white-haired old man stood excitedly in front of the school, looking at the magnificent cavalry, his heart agitated.

Jia Rong rolled over and dismounted, followed by a hundred blood guards who dismounted in unison, and the blood of the students who came to welcome them in the school was surging. This is the world-famous Xiliang Army, and it is their Chang'an army.

Jia Rong didn't dare to trust him, the old man was in charge of the school at the beginning in Jincheng, and he had heard about Li Zhen.

"Mr. Li, please get up quickly." Lifting the old man up, Jia Rong said to the students, "Everyone get up."

It seems that the leaders of later generations, under the leadership of Li Zhen, visited the places where the students ate, lodged, and attended classes. The Xiliang Army developed, and the construction of the school also expanded immediately. With neat seats and spacious classrooms, Jia Rong nodded again and again. , It can be seen that the internal affairs officials still attach great importance to this place.

"I wonder what kind of knowledge Mr. Li imparts to students?" Jia Rong asked.

"Of course it is the Confucian way of governing the world." Li Zhen replied casually.

"Have you ever given the art of war to the students?"

"General, the students who come out of the school are the people who govern the counties and counties. What's the use of learning the art of war?" Li Zhen asked.
