Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Chen Lin has a good personality. We must make good use of it. It is best to scold Cao Cao to the ground. And when we attack Yuzhou, let Chen Lin prepare articles." Zhang Li said.

The Xiliang Army now not only has a bank, but also a newspaper office, with the support of an intelligence network. This information can be spread to all parts of the Central Plains at a very fast speed, setting off a wave of public opinion, especially after the publication of the newspaper, it has attracted the attention of many people. , now under the rule of Luoyang Liang, many people are used to reading newspapers, and the price is not expensive.

"How is Guo Da's contact?" Jia Rong turned his attention to Jia Xu.

"My Majesty, there should be no problem with Guo Da, and Guo Da's military advisor Yu Shan also went to Luoyang secretly, and now he is living in a post station." Jia Xu replied.

"Well, that's right, our army is bound to win the land of Yuzhou. The Central Plains has fertile land, but the princes don't know how to govern, they only know how to use force and waste money and food." Jia Rong sighed. If he had the land in the Central Plains before, he might not With the current situation, everyone knows that the land in the Central Plains is fertile, but at the same time as it is fertile, there are many coveters fighting for profit. Cao Cao gradually acquired a vast land in these battles, but at the same time he lacked With sufficient governance, the people's harvests are poor, so naturally there is not enough deterrence.

"Wen He, I heard that your eldest son is very good. Let him work by my side in a few days." Jia Rong said casually.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Jia Xu bowed respectfully.

"There is going to be a war again, and there will only be more things for the Ministry of War. Lao Wen and Duoduo will have to worry about it."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is a matter of humble duty." Jia Xu clasped his hands.

After leaving the palace, a group of officials congratulated Jia Xu. It is a great honor to send the children of the family to work in front of Jia Rong, but Jia Xu did not think so in his heart. Although Jia Rong had just ascended the throne as emperor, there was no guarantee what kind of things Long Yan would do in the future when he was furious.

But sending the eldest son to the palace does represent Jia Rong's favor for him. Since Jia Rong took charge of the Xiliang Army until now, there have been few things that directly promoted the younger generation of the family. Today's Minister of the Ministry of War has a prominent position and incomparable honor. Although Jia Xu has always kept a low profile, no one dares to ignore his influence.

The Xiliang army made great fanfare, condemning articles were flying all over the sky, and there was a stance that they would not stop until Hanoi County was captured. At one time, Cao Jun panicked for a long time. The treasury was empty. When fighting, they lacked enough confidence. Initiating a war is a situation where there is no end to death.

"My lord, everyone knows that the Xiliang Army attacked Hanoi County. I'm afraid it's not that simple. The Liang Kingdom has just been established, and a big victory is needed to enhance Jia Rong's prestige."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "That's right. Jia Rong has always been cunning, so he must have other plans. Now that the capital of Liang State is close to Yuzhou and Jingzhou, is it plotting Jingzhou?"

"I don't know. Yuzhou has Guo Da's tens of thousands of troops. Even if Jia Rongxing has [-] troops, it will be difficult to capture. Jingzhou is guarded by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. That's it."

"Order Guo Da to guard Yuzhou closely, without the slightest slack, and tell Yuan Rang to guard Hanoi County, not to go out of the city to fight the Xiliang army, as long as the city is well guarded, and the counties along the way cannot send troops to support, guard the city well, that is. A great achievement." Cao Cao said, Hanoi County is the closest place to the Xiliang Army, and Cao Cao has invested a lot of money. The defenders in one county alone have reached almost 5 people, and the defensive strength of each county is unprecedented. He is so powerful that even the Xiliang army can't get any benefits from a hasty attack.

"My lord, Guo Da of Yuzhou, is he trustworthy?"

Cao Cao's eyes sharpened sharply, which made the counselor couldn't help shrinking his head.

"General Guo has worked hard since joining our army. He spared no effort when attacking Jingzhou. Don't say such words again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"promise."

The counselors trembled in their hearts. I am afraid that what happened today will reach Guo Da's ears in a short time. Therefore, Guo Da may be more loyal to Cao Jun's command.

What is emphasized in this era is that a scholar dies for his confidant. No matter how powerful you are, if you are not appreciated by others, you can only bury your way, and when a prince reuses you, you will skyrocket, and your name will remain in history. However, those who live in seclusion in the deep mountains are not necessarily people who see through the world, and some of them are not reused and retreat in depression.

However, Guo Da was just a yellow turban general who rebelled against the great Han before. Putting down the farming tools in your hands and becoming a soldier, how useful it is, that is, the Yellow Turbans who catch everyone will have such a team. This is also the reason why the big man can always defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans with a small force.

After taking refuge in the princes, many yellow turban generals could not be reused at all. For example, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban in Montenegro, was so powerful at the beginning. When he took refuge in Yuan Shao's tent, there was basically no room for him to play no matter whether it was a big or small battle. The relationship was broken until Jizhou fell, and Zhang Yan took refuge in Liangguo.

Cao Cao is confident that Guo Da will not have any connection with the Xiliang Army, because for so many years, Guo Da has been very peaceful in Yuzhou and developed his strength. He also played an important role in the Battle of Jingzhou. Regarding his orders, It has always been carried out without compromise.

Walking in the heavily guarded palace, Yu Dan felt a little frightened, with five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the power of the secret guards was countless. It can be said that the Xiliang Army has one-tenth of its strength for defense. The imperial palace, even if there is a mutiny in the city, it is difficult to break through the imperial palace. The defense here is absolutely nowhere in Luoyang, and heavy weapons such as crossbows and thunderbolt chariots are also equipped.

"Greetings to the Holy One." Yu Dan bowed to the ground respectfully, his tone extremely respectful. At the beginning, he insisted that Guo Da join Jia Rong's command. Facts have proved that his vision is very old-fashioned, and Guo Da's eyes are brave and good at fighting. After the confrontation between Cao Jun and the Xiliang Army, everything was revealed, but the matter of taking refuge in the Xiliang Army has always been a secret among the Yellow Turbans. Even the former General Zhou had received Guo Da's order in advance.

"Well, get up." Jia Rong stood at the top and said lightly.

At this time, there were only Jia Rong and Yu Dan in the hall, and Yu Dan still felt a little uneasy, mainly because the power of the man above was too strong, making people breathless, as if in front of him, any Conspiracies and tricks will be wiped out, all small tricks will be difficult to hide from those eyes, and no secrets in the heart can be hidden.

"Tell me about the situation in Yuzhou."

Yu Dan didn't dare to look directly into Jia Rong's eyes, and lowered his head, he replied, "Sign up to the Holy One..."

"Watch what I'm talking about."

"No." Yu Dan told Jia Rong about the situation in Yuzhou without missing a single detail.

An hour later, Yu Dan left the palace. His back was already soaked in sweat. Although Jia Rong was the only one in the hall just now, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. He felt the majesty of the emperor thoroughly. The more such a person, The more people dare not despise him, before he met Jia Rong, he thought that the emperor who was born as a military general must have a rough personality. Now that he sees him, all worries in his heart will be cleared away. Jia Rong has promised that after Yuzhou is pacified, What an honor it is for him to govern Yuzhou together with Guo Da. If he were to be placed among the officials of the Xiliang Army, it would take at least five or six years of experience before he could be able to take charge alone and cooperate with talented people, which shocked him At the same time, I am very relieved that with such a lord, He Chou can't do something.

Horse-drawn carriages transported grain, grass, and materials to the battlefield through the concrete road, and Ma Chao's [-] pioneers had already set off three days ago, and the counties along the way supported grain, grass and replenished weapons.

The battle has already started, and Ma Chao is in high spirits. After this battle, his reputation must be completely established. In the past, Lu Bu or Zhao Yun were basically the vanguards, but now it has happened to him, which means that his ability has been greatly improved. Losing trust, entering the core of generals, the vanguard position is the easiest to establish credit, but also the hardest.

"Everyone cheer up, especially the scouts who are spying on intelligence. Not only should they pay attention to their own safety, but also pay attention to the situation on the battlefield at all times. If there is any trouble, report it immediately. The usual training will now be used on the enemy. Who If there is a mistake, this general will definitely not be polite." Ma Chao shouted loudly, and his cavalry reined in and listened quietly.

The [-] vanguards carried only enough food and supplies for ten days, and if they attacked Hanoi occupied by Cao Jun from Luoyang, they could arrive in one day if they were fast horses. The distance between the two sides was very close, so Jia Rong generalized the capital It was fixed in Luoyang, but it often attracted protests from officials.

It was Jia Rong who finally rebelled against all opinions and settled the capital in Luoyang. There is a ready-made imperial palace in Luoyang City, which can save a lot of expenses and provide a strong backing for the Xiliang army to fight. Moreover, Luoyang is located at the top of the world. In the future, it will play a very important role in ruling the whole world.

For this campaign against Hanoi County, the merchants headed by Mi Jiawei's family even donated nearly [-] million yuan. Compared with the benefits they obtained from Cao Jun's rule, it is not worth mentioning at all. The Chamber of Commerce unconditionally supports the army's war. Because in war, they can get more benefits.

Once the war starts, the profits of the merchants are also very huge. In the past, the merchants were in a free state, that is, the soldiers of both sides would not attack. The sharp weapons made by the Xiliang Army are even more favored by the princes.
