Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 658: Battle to the Death

At the level of Wang Yue, the city wall can no longer be an obstacle. Not only that, the assassination in Wang Yue's hands is absolutely invincible. He quietly sneaked into the city without causing any waves. This effort alone is worth all the princes. moved.

Normally, having such a team with nothing to do, dispatching them to the enemy to carry out assassinations is enough to cause panic. Lead enough bodyguards to guard the left and right at the moment, with a hundred secrets, maybe these masters will be mixed in among the bodyguards.

Wang Yue's visit to the city was only to inquire about information. Cao Cao's methods for the Xiliang Army were incomparably profound, and his protection for generals and counselors was definitely the strongest.

Facing the tortoise-like city, Huang Zhong did not show any anxiety. Instead, he kept ordering the cavalry to fight the autumn wind on the battlefield, so that Cao Jun would not dare to transport food and grass easily. In this way, Dongjun became an isolated city, unless Cao Cao Leading the army to rescue, otherwise Huang Zhong would be able to forcefully trap Cao Jun in the city.

Liangguo has the support of merchants, their strength is extremely powerful, food and grass are backed up, and some merchants are responsible for free delivery. The clothes you wear during the time can’t be gorgeous, and you can only enjoy it in the mansion. After you have money, you are naturally keen on power, and this Chamber of Commerce organized by the government just satisfies the small vanity of the merchants, and becomes a member of the Chamber of Commerce. , When the status is reached, you can choose to take a carriage or a sedan chair when you go out. This kind of treatment is absolutely unprecedented.

Jia Rong doesn't consider what these merchants think. Merchants have a very important position for a country. No matter how much the emperor suppresses merchants, this cannot be changed. The status of merchants is low, but they can bring prosperity to the country. Naturally, Rong didn't mind giving the businessman some status, so that all businessmen in the world would know that Liangguo treated them well.

The establishment of the Liang Kingdom is definitely a major event in the world. Although some rules of the Han Dynasty have not been changed too much, the establishment of a country has extraordinary significance. There are many people who climb the dragon and the phoenix. If you want to be a hero for the founding of the country, maybe in the future when Jia Rong rewards the officials, you can be named a prince, and your family background will immediately become prominent.

"General Huang, Xun Yu is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and there are strong generals in his city to help him, so it may be difficult to capture him. Why not use that kind of weapon?" Ma Chao questioned.

Huang Zhong frowned slightly. Of course he had heard about the matter between Ma Chao and Lu Bu. Huang Zhong actually admired this young general who made a big splash in the Xiliang Army. Thinking back then, at his age At that time, he was just an unknown person in Jingzhou.

Moreover, Ma Chao's own martial arts and talent are very good. He has expressed his opinions many times in the military class. Compared with Lu Bu, a fierce general who only knows the supremacy of force, he is better. Of course, this is just as a coach. According to some of Huang Zhong's views, Lu Bu is a strong general of the Liang Kingdom. Such a character is enough to make the army explode with strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. Huang Zhong has to admit this.

"General Ma, that kind of weapon can only be used as little as possible. This is also the order of the Holy Majesty before leaving. There are many capable men and strangers in Cao's army. If we let them know the weakness of this weapon, our army will have the advantage." , will also be greatly weakened, this is a situation that the Holy Majesty does not want to see." Huang Zhongdao.

Ma Chao clasped his fists and said: "General, as a vanguard of the army, you should charge forward. Since the army's morale is available, why not take Dongjun in one fell swoop and shake Cao's army. If this is the case, the prestige of Liang will be known all over the world."

Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, vetoing Ma Chao's suggestion. The battlefield is not driven by emotion. Every decision means loss for himself and the enemy. Especially in a confrontation on the battlefield, a wrong decision can even ruin the entire team.

"Cao's army has [-], and our army has [-]. The number of soldiers is smaller than that of Cao's army, and Cao's army has the advantage of the city, so we need to take it slowly."

Although Ma Chao didn't agree with Huang Zhong's opinion, thinking that the old general lacked sharpness in fighting, he had to admit that Huang Zhong's words were reasonable, not to mention that once Huang Zhong made a decision, it was difficult to change it, but the military order was like a mountain. .

The Xiliang army outside the city repeatedly provoked, and the Cao army in the city was also bloody. Every time the two sides fought, the Xiliang army won every time, which made Cao army dare not go out of the city to fight the Xiliang army.

There are various forms of fighting. A sneak attack on the Duanliang Road is very fatal. At a critical moment, the army in the city cannot be allowed to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army. This is also Huang Zhong's strategy. That's when the Xiliang army showed its sharp fangs, and it would become easier to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop.

The war in Jingzhou is coming to an end, the food and grass in the city can no longer last too long, and even consumables such as arrows, wood, boulders, etc. will soon be insufficient. Cao Chun even ordered the demolition of the houses of the people in the city to serve as military use. Cao Jun's determination.

Jia Rong was in the palace, constantly receiving information from the front that Liangguo had a great Confucian teacher like Cai Yong, and all the etiquette was already understood, except for the lack of eunuchs in the palace, everything else was already in place.

The maids of the court continued to enter the palace through selection. The desolate palace in the past gradually became lively. Seeing the money being spent like flowing water, Jia Rong was heartbroken. This is not the consumption of the battlefield, but the consumption of the palace daily expenses.

However, Cai Yong and other officials in the court insisted on this very much, believing that the royal etiquette should not be lost, and that it would not hesitate to spend money. They even advised Jia Rong to set up a Shaofu to be responsible for the expenses of the palace, with the aim of making the palace The small warehouses of the country are distinguished from the warehouses of the whole country.

With a reputation, there will naturally be no shortage of talented people to come to seek refuge. What's more, everything in Liangguo is showing a booming situation. It is an ideal place for many merchant families to seek refuge. In addition to that set of restrained big families, there are quite a few businessmen who went to Luoyang to do business.

After some planning, the streets of Luoyang became wider, enough to accommodate eight horses driving abreast. The official roads, the roads taken by the common people, and the roads for emergency information transmission were clearly distinguished. Four streets separated Luoyang.

After becoming emperor, Jia Rong really realized how free life was in the past. The country has a great cause, and there are more major issues to be dealt with. Sometimes a trivial matter will be brought up by officials in the court.

This also gave Jia Rong the idea of ​​delegating power, the system of three productions and six departments, among which the Shangshu Province has the greatest power, because it is in charge of the specific implementation of the imperial decree, and it has six departments under its jurisdiction, which is the largest power department, but Jia Rong did not set up a Shangshu The position of order is also to prevent the power of the officials in the DPRK and China from being too powerful and dividing the imperial power.

If you don't become an emperor, you will never understand the feeling of being in power. Whenever it comes to the early court, accepting the worship of all officials, giving Jia Rong a feeling of being in power, and the world is in the palm of your hand. , the pinnacle of life is nothing more than this.

No wonder there are so many people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the throne, even if they know they must die, there are still so many people rushing to it.

Among the three provinces, the power of Shangshu Province was gradually increased by Jia Rong. Among them, the handling of political affairs aroused the resistance of officials. In this way, if the officials of Shangshu Province intend to deceive the Holy Majesty, it will definitely be more serious than the disaster of the eunuchs. The eunuchs only work in the palace, but the officials of the court and the central government can contact the frontier army. An official, once With great power in his hands and the support of the army outside, it is inevitable that he will do something out of the ordinary.

Under Jia Rong's insistence, Shangshu Province began to deal with state affairs. Only some major matters would be reviewed by Jia Rong himself. It seemed that when the Xiliang Army was in Chang'an, Jia Rong delegated power.

However, at this time, Liangguo's national strength was at its peak, and its military strength was strong. Jia Rong tightly controlled the military power. Without his order, it would be impossible to transfer any army, and there would be no situation of powerful ministers.

In a newly established country, the blood is fresh and full of vitality, revealing vitality from top to bottom.

Shangshu Province has become the most popular department in Liangguo. Not to mention other things, just because it has the most contacts with the Holy One, it is worth many officials to break their heads and squeeze in. Liangguo's system is there. If you want to enter the center of power, you must To have enough achievements, officials must have achievements in governing the local area.

In Nanyang County, it lasted for nearly two months. The food and grass in the city were only enough for the soldiers for three days. The arrows and other things had been used up. Even the houses of the people in the city were demolished. Every night, It can be seen on both sides of the street at any time, and the people live in the open air. During the period, there were also riots among the people, which were suppressed by Cao Jun with strong methods. Afterwards, Tian Chou came forward to talk with the family, and Xiaozhi moved him with emotion, but nothing happened. Accident.

Outside Nanyang City, 1 Xiliang troops were waiting in formation. In the middle army, beside Zhao Yun was a thousand cavalry in black armor. The flag was raised high, standing out from the crowd. The wolf on it seemed to be alive, with scarlet eyes and blood-red teeth. Lifelike, successive sieges have caused the army to lose more than [-] people and thousands of disabled.

"Hmph, is Cao Chun finally unable to resist going out of the city?" Zhao Yun said with a cold snort.

"Exactly. Presumably there is not much food and grass left in the city, and even the houses in the city are almost demolished. Without the support of food and grass, there will be a mutiny sooner or later. It is also wise for Li Dian and Cao Chun to go out of the city to fight our army. Lift." Guo Da echoed.
