Xiliang Iron Cavalry

For Zhuge Liang, later generations have always treated him as an evildoer, capable of pinching and counting, calling the wind and calling the rain and throwing beans into soldiers. Even Jia Rong, a character in mythology, has a little bit of self-confidence when facing Zhuge Liang.

The surface of Jizhou has stabilized, at least when Chen Zhen came. For so many years, Chen Zhen has been in charge of Chang'an, responsible for the management of Chang'an's three auxiliary lands. Chang'an can have the current situation, and he has a great relationship Relationship, not long after he was ordered to take over Luoyang, he, the governor of Jizhou, really started to take office.

Chen Zhen spent three days carefully reviewing the big and small matters in Jizhou, and said clearly: "My lord, I suggest that you marry Zhen Yi's daughter."

Jia Rong almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Chen Zhen has been here for so long, and after flipping through a lot of documents, he came up with this sentence. We met in advance, how could we decide the marriage before meeting each other, he is the King of Liang, so it’s fine to marry a woman he likes. Staring at it.

"Tell me, what's the reason?" Jia Rong put down the tea in his hand.

"My lord, Jizhou is stable on the surface, but it is actually undercurrents. Yuan Shao has ruled Jizhou for many years. He pays attention to the aristocratic family and has won the hearts of the people. Even if he is defeated now, some people will still think that Yuan Shao was good back then. Our army's local governance strategy has too much to do with the aristocratic family. At the point of conflict, the Xiliang army entered Jizhou with a domineering attitude, which greatly damaged the interests of the family to a certain extent. Regardless of their rebellion, some strategies would be difficult to complete without the support of the family, weakening The aristocratic family has become an empty talk, once they unite and secretly contact Cao Cao, Jizhou will be unstable, and it is impossible for the Lord to hoard [-] troops in Jizhou to guard against Cao Jun at any time." Chen Zhen continued to say slowly: "After marrying Zhen Yi's daughter, the situation will change immediately. The aristocratic family in Jizhou will definitely think that the lord intends to make friends with the aristocratic family. Although our ultimate goal is to weaken them, during this time, they will cooperate carefully and distribute them. Benefits can easily divide them. The Zhen family is a big family in Jizhou, with a profound foundation. After uniting with the Zhen family, the benefits are countless. Even if they fight Cao Jun in the future, the Zhen family can also contribute. Why not do it. "

"Speaking of it, you kid is just thinking for yourself. Why is Jizhou difficult to govern? Merchants are looking for profit, so distribute some benefits to them. Why don't you worry about Jizhou being unstable? The Zhen family has a big business. Is there no family in Chang'an that can compare with him? , the Wei family and the Mi family, which one is not as rich as the enemy." Jia Rong retorted, in his heart, he was very opposed to this marriage, a woman who had never even met, how could he have a good impression, married back? Delay others.

"My lord, Jizhou is different from Chang'an, I hope my lord can think twice." Chen Zhen continued to insist.

Guo Jia also stepped forward and said: "My lord, what Mr. Chen said is true, please think again."

"You, you two." Jia Rong didn't know what to say for a moment, and left in a huff.

"Feng Xiao, you said the lord won't be angry?" Chen Zhen said.

"Certainly not, we are considering the overall situation of Jizhou." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Let's go, how about going to a restaurant in the city?"

"You boy, you still can't get rid of the problem of drinking, but this little body is much stronger." Chen Zhen patted Guo Jia and said.

Guo Jia had a bitter look on his face when he heard the words. He has put in a lot of hard work, training with soldiers in the army every day. Thinking of that kind of suffering gives him a headache, but Jia Rong's strict orders can only be obeyed.

"Why? How about I tell the lord too."

"No, no." Chen Zhen waved his hands repeatedly.

"Why are you here? Are you not training soldiers?" Jia Rong asked.

"My lord, I'm also in the army. I'm bored and go out for a walk. I'm in charge of the water army, so naturally there's less training on land." Gan Ning said.

"What's wrong with the water army?" Jia Rong scolded, "Don't the water army need to fight on land? There are also those two things that you have to hand in later."

Gan Ning showed bitterness, and took Jizhou without bloodshed. The two things that Jia Rong gave him at the beginning were naturally useless, but afterwards, he heard the generals in the army talk about how powerful those things were, and he felt a little bit regretful Why not give it a try.

"My lord, can you save one for the humble official, just in case?" Gan Ning said shyly.

"Accompany me for a walk, you can discuss this matter with your military advisor later on." Jia Rong was too lazy to argue with Gan Ning.

Gan Ning felt even more depressed when he heard this, Jia Xu was always the only one who had the say, how dare these generals put any conditions in front of him.

"My lord, compared with Chang'an, Jizhou looks a bit desolate." Gan Ning said.

Jia Rong showed a smug look on his face, and said with a smile: "That's natural. It took many years of development for Chang'an to get what it is today. In less than ten years, Jizhou can never be compared with Chang'an."

"That's because the lord is well-guided. Under the lord's rule, let alone ten years, five years is enough."

"Don't come here, kid, the things must be turned in." Jia Rong said.

"Huh? Baowuzhai?" Jia Rong asked in surprise when he saw the name of the shop not far away.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Gan Ning looked wary.

"Nothing, let's go in and take a look."

"Things are very ordinary, not even as good as our weapon shop." After walking around the shop, Gan Ning muttered dissatisfiedly, obviously disdainful that the name of Baozizhai was not worthy of its name.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any good treasures?" Jia Rong said to the shopkeeper who was lowering his head and fiddling with something.

"Choose it yourself, the price is written on the side." The shopkeeper said without looking up.

"Is there anyone who opens the door to do business like this?" Gan Ning's voice suddenly rose.

The shopkeeper raised his head, took a look, and said in surprise, "It's you?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet here again after so many years." Jia Rong laughed.

The shopkeeper put down the things in his hands and walked towards Jia Rong, which made Gan Ning nervous for a while, and couldn't help but put his right hand on the saber.

"The small shop is simple and crude. If the King of Liang does not abandon it, you can go to the inner room to talk about it." The shop owner smiled.

Gan Ning stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?"

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, General Gan, just wait outside."

In the inner room of Treasure House, Jia Rong saw the woman in Zhen's restaurant, although it was only a glimpse at that time, he still had an impression in his heart.

"I've met you, my lord." Seeing Jia Rong coming in with the owner, the woman hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Get up." Jia Rong replied lightly.

"You and I have known each other for many years, and I still don't know your name?" Jia Rong sat upright and said, how can someone who can sell the silkworm armor be a vulgar person.

"Lu Huan." The owner said.

"Now that the King of Liang has captured Jizhou, he owns Youzhou and Bingzhou Liangzhou. It can be said that he is full of ambition, and the whole world is at his fingertips." The shopkeeper said.

The woman on the side didn't show any surprise when she heard the shopkeeper addressing Jia Rong, but kept looking at Jia Rong. She knew some of her father's thoughts, and she was also a proud person. Naturally, the person you don't want to marry is an unknown person, and Jia Rong's reputation in the world is too great to attract anyone's attention.

"The shop owner is absurd. There are still great princes such as Cao Cao and Liu Biao in the Central Plains. How can we put down the theory."

"Xiaomin wants to join the Xiliang Army, but I wonder if the King of Liang will agree?" Lu Huan said, staring at Jia Rong with burning eyes.

After hearing these words, the woman's body couldn't help but move slightly.

"Oh, the shopkeeper must know the rules of the Xiliang Army. Even if you and I know each other, if you want to have a position in the army, you still need to work hard." Jia Rong said, feeling puzzled in his heart. This shopkeeper has always been He appeared and disappeared, and the things he sold could definitely be called treasures. The silkworm armor on his body had saved him several times when his life was at stake, and this shopkeeper could be regarded as half of his savior.

"Don't worry, King Liang, since Xiaomin decided to join the Xiliang Army, he must have some skills." Lu Huan said confidently.

"Okay, tell me, what do you want to do in the army?" Jia Rong said.

"Carpenter's Workshop." Lu Huan was not overwhelmed by Jia Rong's aura at all, and his face was still calm.

"Carpenter's Workshop?" Jia Rong shook his head slightly. It is an important weapon research site for the Xiliang Army, and it is impossible for idlers to get close to it. This Lu Huan wants to join when he comes up. For people with unknown origins, Carpenter's Workshop is absolutely not will easily accept.

"Could it be that the recruitment order posted by the King of Liang is to fool the people of the world? Although Xiaomin doesn't have any skills, if he asks himself about his skills, few people in the world can match them." Lu Huan said.

Seeing that Jia Rong was still unmoved, Lu Huan continued, "Xiao Min is a descendant of Lu Ban."

"A descendant of Luban?" Jia Rong asked in shock, standing up involuntarily.

"Okay, today you will be in the State Shepherd's Mansion, come with me to Chang'an." Jia Rong said.

Lu Huan looked at Jia Rong suspiciously, bowed his head and said yes.

"Treasure House? I wonder what other treasures are there?" Jia Rong asked.

"My lord, Treasure House is an outside business of the Lu family. It can barely maintain the daily life of the Lu family. As for the treasures, I'm afraid the lord will despise them." Lu Huan said, now that he is nearly 50 years old, he can invest in the West Being under the command of the Liang army is also a good choice. It is better than living in the constant wars of the family. In fact, with the Lu family's craftsmanship, any prince in the Central Plains can develop, but the world has been in turmoil in recent years. In addition to his relationship with the Zhen family in Jizhou, he lived in Jizhou temporarily.
