Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"I can't agree with the commander-in-chief. The Han army has stationed 5 troops in Danhan Mountain. Although we have [-] soldiers in Xianbei, they are only temporarily organized soldiers. How can we resist? Is the commander-in-chief going to see it with his own eyes?" Seeing our Xianbei perish in the hands of the Han people? Xianbei can accept the conditions given by the Han people. As for the last fire of Xianbei that the general said is completely wiped out, otherwise, it is not easy for the Han people to build a city on the grassland, but it has brought imagination to the Xianbei people The advantage is that we can get the elite weapons and armors of the Han people that we have dreamed of from the city, and recharge our energy, and the territory of the Han people is also full of wars. As long as we seize the opportunity, the Xianbei Empire may not have regained its glory. When the time comes, the Han people The city built will also become the support of the Xianbei people, unlike now, when the Han soldiers are approaching the grasslands, we have no danger to rely on."

Murong Feng didn't say a word, his idea was not wrong, but he pushed Xianbei into dire straits in a short period of time, and accepted the conditions of the Han people, Xianbei could continue to survive under the protection of the Han people, learn the technology of the Han people, who It is also certain that Xianbei will not have a wise and powerful Khan like Tan Shihuai again, and re-establish the Great Xianbei Empire. It is this fluke mentality that makes many tribes choose to compromise, but the Xiliang Army will really give Xianbei a fluke .

Three days later, Murong Feng received Xu Shu in the dilapidated tent of the Chinese Army, and expressed his willingness to accept the conditions of the Xiliang Army.

The dense convoys were coming towards the grassland. In the past, these businessmen would never have dared to set foot on the grassland so blatantly. Whether it was the Xianbei cavalry or the horse thieves on the grassland, the businessmen couldn't afford to lose.

In order to provide a safe road for the merchants, the Xiliang army swept down the famous horse thieves along the way, and the merchants' supplies were able to enter the grassland smoothly.

To build a city and put it on someone else's body, the businessman might scoff at it, but it was Jia Rong who proposed it. In the eyes of the businessman, it seems that there is nothing difficult for this young general to accomplish. The financial resources of the Xiliang Army are incalculable because they have crafts The workshop is the chicken that lays the golden eggs.

Contrary to the expectations of the Xianbei people, the food and supplies to rescue them for the winter did not arrive as expected. Instead, many merchant convoys, craftsmen, and slaves came. Among these slaves, they even saw the old robes.

The general ordered: "All Xianbei people who participate in the construction of the city will provide three meals a day and provide housing!"

Simple large tents were set up to recruit Xianbei people who were willing to participate in the construction of the city.

Murong Feng was stunned, and acquiesced in everything. Today's Xianbei army has only 3000 people left. In the words of the Han army, it is to assist the Han people in managing Xianbei. The weapons used are much better, but compared with the Han army, it is far worse. One chip, especially the chariots of the Han people that can fire short guns continuously, has become a lingering nightmare for Xianbei soldiers.

Many Xianbei nobles were very disgusted with the edicts of the Han people, and asked Xu Shu to reason with them many times, but Xu Shu also made it very clear that under the rule of the Xiliang Army, those who had no free food had to pay for labor if they wanted to eat and clothe themselves warmly.

Poor Xianbei aristocrats, have never been treated like this. In desperation, they compromised with the Han army, and some people from each tribe participated in the construction of the city.

Regarding this matter, Xu Shu's attitude eased a little. It is impossible to really let the nobles of Xianbei carry stones and other materials, provide labor according to the size of the tribe, and distribute according to work without any partiality. The Liang army came out, how could the Xianbei people take advantage of it for nothing.

There were [-] Han troops guarding them, and there was no trouble. First of all, the city was built with Danhanshan Wangting as the center, with a radius of ten miles. Such a city would be at the level of a county and state government in a big Han Dynasty.

Zhang Zhao would come to Jia Rong almost every day. The cost of building the city was too high. Money was like flowing water. There was a lack of stones on the grasslands. It was impossible to build a city without stones. Xianbei people did not need to pay money. But the craftsmen of the big man are paid a high salary. Although they are supported by rare items such as the Xianlian Pavilion and the Moonlight Cup, they are still stretched.

Judging from half a month's expenses, Jia Rong also realized the huge consumption of building the city, especially in the distant Danhan Mountain King's Court.

Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of a common thing to build a house, cement. With cement, the problem of building a city will become easier, and if a road to Danhan Mountain is opened with cement, transportation will become very simple. Answer, not only that, the carriages used for transportation also need to be improved.

Under the pressure from money, Jia Rong began to rack his brains to make money. The cement pavement, the money must be paid by all the merchants. It’s okay if you don’t pay, but you can’t follow the road I opened up. If you are robbed by horse thieves, you can’t blame me. .

Not only that, Jia Rong also ordered the Xiliang army to build checkpoints along the way, pay taxes, and merchants do business, earning several times the profit. Chang'an collects taxes, and the road to the grassland is no exception.

The team of merchants entering the grassland has gradually become regularized. They have a unified route. With the cement road, their speed has increased a lot, but no one evades taxes. The team confiscated all of them without mercy.

After the Xiliang army occupied Bingzhou, they did not make any major moves, which reassured Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Yan Liang was ordered to station at the border of Jizhou to guard against the Xiliang army, but there were too many borders between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and Yuan Shao divided at least half of them Force defense.

Of course Gongsun Zan would not let go of such an opportunity, he attacked like a storm, and Yuan Shao's army retreated steadily, not daring to go out of the city to fight. If the Black Mountain army took advantage of this opportunity to dispatch at this time, Jizhou would be caught in the flames of war.

For five days in a row, Jia Rong stayed in the craftsman's workshop, studying technology painstakingly. Suddenly he hated that he didn't study hard before, so that many things could not be made out of empty ideas. Less" is so true.

Yuan Shao's envoys and Gongsun Zan's envoys reached Chang'an at the same time.

After taking a bath and changing into ordinary clothes, Jia Rong received the envoys from the two parties in the general's mansion.

"It's not easy for you two to come from such a long distance, let's taste the fragrant tea from Chang'an." Jia Rong picked up a special teacup and said to the two envoys facing down.

The two dared not neglect and toasted in a hurry.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "It's been a few years since I left. I wonder how brother Bogui is now?"

Seeing Jia Rong's question, the envoy from Youzhou hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "General Lao is worried. My general is in good health and can still lead the army to the battlefield. My general mentioned the general many times, and I miss the time when he defeated Xianbei with the general. Army."

"Brother Bogui is a rare hero in the world." Jia Rong praised.

The envoy of Youzhou showed excitement, and Bingzhou bordered Youzhou and Jizhou. Although Gongsun Zan sent more troops to garrison, he did not mobilize the troops like Yuan Shao. What kind of person is Yuan Shao? Jia Rong, the two sides have been feuding for a long time.

Yuan Shao's envoy to Chang'an was a judge, quick thinking, good at eloquence, and was well-known in Yuan Shao's account.

"Great General Gong Gai Yunei, General Yuan has admired him for a long time, he only regrets that he is fighting the enemy army, so he has no time to come here in person." The judge is a famous person in a family, so it is not easy to say such kind words.

Jia Rong snorted coldly and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​gathered hundreds of thousands of allied troops to attack Hulao Pass. This general is still vivid in his memory, and he is very majestic."

The judge said: "The general is also a Han minister, so he naturally knows that the king's salary is for the king to share his worries. At the beginning, General Yuan also held a fistful heart, intending to clear the king's side, and return the big man to a bright world. General Yuan wants to assist the Holy Majesty with the Great General and revitalize the Great Han, and he does not want any changes in the court."

Jia Rong sneered inwardly. In this audition, there is a lot of skill in turning black and white.

"Say, why did General Yuan send you here?" Jia Rong asked indifferently, he never had a good face towards Yuan Shao's envoy.

"General Yuan wants to marry Qin and Jin with the general. General Yuan has a daughter, and the son of the general..."

Jia Rong interrupted: "This is absolutely impossible!"

The complexion of the judge kept changing, but it couldn't happen. The current situation of the Jizhou army was quite familiar to the judge. If the Xiliang army took the opportunity to attack Jizhou, Jizhou would definitely not be able to protect it.

"I've heard that Jizhou is a big food state. You also know that this general defeated Xianbei, and there were a lot of Xianbei refugees under his command. This general is merciful and can't bear to kill them. However, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people consume food and grass every day. Not a small amount."

There was a flash of light in the judge's eyes, as long as Jia Rong was willing to make a condition, it would be fine. When the time came, Yuan Shao handed over the autonomy to himself.

"After you go back, tell Benchu ​​that as long as Jizhou is willing to do business with the Xiliang army and does not embarrass the passing merchants, the general will not invade Jizhou, but Benchu ​​was at Hulao Pass, so I must give some benefits to the general if he lost his troops. Yes, just get a hundred thousand shi of grain carelessly."

The examiner looked anxious, and replied carefully: "General, Jizhou pacified Heishan Yellow Turban and started a war with the Youzhou army. It has long been difficult to sustain food and grass. If you want to give food and grass to the general, you have more than enough energy."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can let Yuan Shao write the IOU."

"IOU?" As clever as a judge, he didn't know what an IOU was.

"It says that Yuan Shao owed the Xiliang Army [-] shi of grain in the winter of the first year of Xingping, and it will be returned next year."

With a cautious attitude, the judge and partner cupped his hands and said: "This matter is very important, let's go back and think about it for a day." Regarding the IOU, the judge and partner couldn't help but sneer, and it can be delayed in the next year, but the military situation is urgent.

Jia Rong nodded and agreed. The Xiliang army is strong, and they want to invade Jizhou, but they have more energy than energy. Food and grass supplies alone are difficult to support tens of thousands of troops to fight. "War is burning money." This is what Jia Rong concluded. I still want to learn how to fight like others, but the only way is to lose. You only see six short spears at a time, but you don't know that the cost is expensive.

The Youzhou envoy looked anxious. Yuan Shao would definitely agree to such a simple condition from Jia Rong. Although the Youzhou army is strong, the Jizhou army has the advantage of a city, and the stalemate is very disadvantageous to the Youzhou army.
