Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Brother Bogui and I have known each other for a long time, so naturally I can't treat you badly. You must have heard of the excellent weapons of the Xiliang Army."

Jia Rong glanced at the reaction of the Youzhou envoy, and continued: "Our army has built a lot of weapons, and Youzhou has a lot of coal. The two sides can exchange what they have and trade. I have heard that Youzhou's war horses are also quite good. .”

The envoy from Youzhou was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, General!" Jia Rong treated Youzhou much better than Jizhou. , The Youzhou Army can also gain more advantages, so it is not difficult to defeat the Jizhou Army. I didn't expect such a big thing to be done in Chang'an, and the Youzhou envoy's eyes were full.

After dealing with the affairs of the two messengers, Jia Rong ran to the craftsman's workshop again.

When Zhang Zhao learned that Jia Rong had easily agreed to the envoy of Jizhou, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but when he thought that Jizhou owed one hundred thousand shi of grain, he sneered, and Yuan Shao might not want to pay it back, but he wanted to be in Jia Rong's hands. It is as if the cheap man was never born.

Except for the Xianlian Pavilion in Jizhou, other merchants are not open to merchants in Chang'an. Yuan Shao is indirectly opposing Chang'an. Jizhou is a big grain state. As long as there is food support from Jizhou, no matter how difficult it is, it can be overcome. After this winter, it seems that Jia Rong didn't get much benefit, but in fact, the problem of the source of food and grass was solved virtually.

Moreover, when interacting with businessmen in Jizhou, there is an additional channel for the glass of the craftsman workshop. The technology of glass is approaching maturity, such as glass necklaces, wine glasses, glass bowls, etc., which are very popular in various counties, especially the nobles, who will use glass Objects are a symbol of superiority, and the moonlight cup that Jia Rong used at the banquet that day was even more sought after by the nobles, spending a lot of money.

Cement, even after Pu Yuan saw such a thing, he would praise it. With cement, a city wall with a thickness of one foot can be compared to the effect of two or even three feet in the past. It is definitely like a godsend to strengthen the city wall.

The craftsman's workshop was expanded again, and the manufacturing areas of fairy love, glass, cement and weapons were separated, and different people were in charge. Today's craftsman's workshop has tens of thousands of craftsmen and workers at the bottom, which is a large scale. It has never been seen in ancient times, and it is estimated that the princes of the Central Plains could hardly imagine that the craftsmen in Chang'an would have such a big hand.

With the help of the Mi family and Xianlian Pavilion, the Xiliang army easily obtained a large amount of food. What is gratifying is that the Wei family chose to cooperate with the Xiliang army. There were many conflicts between the two before, but since After Wei Fu gave birth to a son for Jia Rong, Wei Guan also wanted to understand a lot. Now the world has changed. It is no longer the world with the surname Liu of the Han Dynasty, but in the hands of many princes. There are enough and powerful enough, but they are not as good as Xianlian Pavilion. Instead of this, it is better to try our best to assist Jia Rong to achieve great things.

With the help of the Wei family, it is easier for merchants to buy food. The Wei family has stood tall and strong for a hundred years. It is a well-deserved business family, and there are only a handful of big men who can compare with it.

Two days later, the judge found Jia Rong to discuss the alliance between Xiliang Army and Jizhou Army.

"Mr. Si Shen, what position do you have in the Jizhou Army?" Jia Rong asked.

The examiner said with a smile: "The Jizhou army seems to be equipped with talents, like crucian carp crossing the river. There are countless people. Now they serve as General Yuan's staff."

"Oh, that's a bit condescending. If you are interested, the Xiliang Army is willing to invite you to a higher position." Jia Rong said sincerely. I have to say that he is a little envious of Yuan Shao. Thinking about the strength of the Xiliang Army back then, he Yuan Shao was so powerful that he was able to get help from a large number of advisers and generals. The reason for this was nothing more than the aura of four generations and three princes on his head.

"The general is just joking, the match is just an underachiever in micro-learning, so it's hard to take on." The examiner declined calmly.

"Whether you like it or not, the Xiliang Army will always open the door for you," Jia Rong said.

The judge's expression changed slightly, and he said: "General, after I go back, I will think twice and agree to the general's request. It is only [-] shi of grain, which is really too much."

"Looking at Mr.'s face, it will be reduced to [-] shi." Jia Rong laughed.

"Thank you so much, General. I will send an envoy to deliver the IOU after I return to Jizhou."

"Mr. Shen is doing business, the general is very relieved!"

Shen Pei's heart moved slightly. Jia Rong's current achievements did not depend on his bravery alone. It seemed that there was too much ignorance of Jia Rong from the outside world. This person would be a strong enemy for all the princes.

The Xiliang army conquered the grasslands. In the fiery development, Yuzhou was also very lively. After Guo Da occupied Yingchuan and Chen Kingdom, he was not satisfied. Instead, he concentrated his troops and prepared to compete with Guan Yu in Runan.

Liu Bei's army had few generals, and most of the generals in the army were promoted temporarily without enough talent. The counties along the way did not have any decent resistance at all. The Yellow Turban Army almost fell in a single battle.

It seems that he has aged a lot overnight. Liu Bei did not have the high spirits when he just won Yuzhou. In Yuzhou, they ran into the Yellow Turban Army who were like wolves and tigers.

"Mr. Sun, there are 5000 Yellow Turban soldiers gathered in Runan, and the second brother only has [-] people. How can we resist? Please teach me, sir."

Sun Gan showed distress, the current situation in Yuzhou was precarious, he was not good at strategy, lacked battlefield vision, how could he make suggestions for Liu Bei.

"My lord, why don't you ask for help from Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou." Sun Gandao: "Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han family, a herdsman of Jingzhou, and his virtuous name spread far and wide, and my lord is also a clan member of the Han family. If the lord asks for help, Liu Biao will not lose face." Taking Yuzhou, and given the current situation in Yuzhou, even if it falls into the hands of Liu Biao, it will be better than the Yellow Turbans."

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and sighed for a long time: "In my opinion, sir, he is only a candidate for envoy to Jingzhou?"

Sun Qian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I am willing to go, and persuade Liu Biao to send troops to Yuzhou."

Liu Bei supported Sun Qiandao: "Sir, you are the backbone of our army, how can you send others to go in danger?"

Sun Qian's heart was agitated, and he said firmly: "My lord, it is said that the two armies do not kill each other, let alone a famous person like Liu Biao, how can he damage his reputation, and I am going to ask for help, even if it fails, I think Liu Biao will not make things difficult. .”

Liu Bei said: "So, there is Mr. Lao."

"Third brother, protect Mr. Sun along the way. If there is any mistake, the military law will handle it."

Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said, "No!"

When Liu Bei lost Chen Guo after Zhang Fei's defeat, he never mentioned punishment, but he spoke so harshly about protecting Sun Qian, and Sun Qian was already completely moved.

In fact, Liu Bei also knew that Sun Gan was useless, but there was a lack of talents in the army, and he didn't have the capital like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, so he could only develop slowly.

"Talent, talent!" Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed: "People like Guo Da can be helped by counselors, why am I, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, reduced to such a point?"

In addition, Guan Yu led a large army to station in Pingyu, gathered the troops of the entire Runan County, relied on Jiancheng, and resisted the Yellow Turban Army.

Under the leadership of Guo Da, [-] yellow scarves surrounded the entire city of Pingyu, blocking the connection between Pingyu and other counties.

"Mr. Yu, our army has already surrounded Pingyu. If the food in the city is exhausted in a month's work, the general's heart will be unstable, and Runan will be in our hands." Guo Da said proudly, and obtained one after another Yingchuan and Chen Guo made him feel a little light.

Yu Shan nodded slightly, Yuzhou is indeed a blessed place for the Yellow Turban Army. They captured Yingchuan and Chen Guo in more than two months, and then surrounded Pingyu. If there is no room for development, given time, it may be able to soar into the sky. Compared with the princes of the Central Plains, in troubled times, strength is the most important. people.

Liu Bei's troops were not many, except for the 1 troops taken away by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, there were only more than [-] at best, and most of them were untrained recruits. It is difficult for such soldiers to do anything on the battlefield.

"My lord, Pingyu is besieged, and the surrounding counties can send generals to take them down one by one, turning Pingyu into an isolated city." Yu Dan suggested.

Guo laughed and said, "Sir, that's very kind."

There are 37 counties under the rule of Runan, which is the largest county in Yuzhou. As long as Runan is occupied, it will not be short time to drive Liu Bei out of Yuzhou.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao grandly received Sun Qian, the envoy of Yuzhou. He is one of the Eight Steeds and likes face. Liu Bei claims that he is the clan of the Han family.

"Why did Mr. Sun come here?" Liu Biao, who was at the top, asked calmly.

Sun Qian looked around and saw Liu Biao's servants and generals, full of talents. Thinking of the situation in Yuzhou, he couldn't help being a little envious, and then thinking of Liu Bei's trust in him, he felt full of fighting spirit.

"Lord Liu is a clan member of the Han family, and so is my lord. Now there are Guo Da Huangjin rebels who are rampant in Yuzhou, harming the people of Li. My lord first got Yuzhou, and he has not many troops in his hand. It is difficult to deal with the [-] Yellow Turban army. Lord Liu is asking for help, I hope Lord Liu can send troops and generals to relieve the disaster of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou." Sun Gan clasped his fists and said.

Liu Biao pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "Mr. Sun, to tell you the truth, Jingzhou seems to be prosperous. After last year's drought, the grain and grass in the warehouse have been exhausted, and it is difficult to support the army. go."

The counselors in the house were also talking about it. Yuzhou was hard to support. Liu Bei went to the rescue. Anyone with a discerning counselor could see that there was a huge opportunity in it, and that was to take the opportunity to seize Yuzhou. After Liu Biao became the shepherd of Jingzhou, Jingzhou gained a lot With the development of the country, there is basically no war in the hinterland. Even in a year of drought, the treasury is still strong, but Jingzhou has never expanded its territory and has continuously accumulated strength. Now it is a good time to send troops to Yuzhou.
