Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Wu Ban?" Jia Rong nodded slightly and said, "Let Wu Ban come to see me." After breaking through Zitong, two generals, Yang Huailingbao, were directly executed by Jia Rong, while Zhang Ren and Wu Ban were imprisoned. Convincing Wu Ban is indeed a good move.

"Wu Yi should not be underestimated. The Battle of Mianzhu will be extremely cruel after all. Be prepared," Jia Rong said.

Guo Jia didn't understand why Jia Rong was still so cautious after possessing the explosives, but he had to obey the order, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

Wu Ban was changed into clean clothes by the guards and brought to Jia Rong. For Yang Ren and Wu Ban, the Xiliang Army didn't have too many difficulties. Except that they couldn't move freely, the others were pretty good.

"When you see the Holy Majesty, you still don't kneel down." Seeing Wu Ban's haughty appearance, a guard stepped forward and reprimanded him.

Jia Rong waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, and said with a smile, "General Wu, please sit down."

Wu Ban ignored him, still stood where he was, and said coldly: "You came to me only for the Mianzhu matter. To tell you the truth, don't think that this general will go to the city to do things for you."

Jia Rong looked at Wu Ban in surprise, but he didn't expect this general to be quite smart.

"General Wu is a smart man. Now that he understands what I mean, he should think about what kind of benefits will be gained after this matter is completed, instead of being full of blood, like Yang Huai Lingbao, which is rare. General, it is a pity that he died just because of his stupid loyalty to Liu Zhang, doesn't the general think about the affairs behind him, and even the whole Wu family in Yizhou?"

Seeing Wu Ban's expression move slightly, Jia Rong continued: "General Wu must have understood the strength of the Xiliang Army. If I insist on attacking Mianzhu, even if there are [-] Yizhou troops in the pass, they will still be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

"It's empty talk."

"Hehe, has the general not seen the kind of weapon of the Xiliang Army? I have tens of thousands of soldiers in Mianzhu in my heart, and I can't bear to make a move. Otherwise, even the entire Mianzhu, I have the confidence to blow it up."

Hearing Jia Rong mentioning the weapons of the Xiliang Army, Wu Ban's eyes trembled slightly. It is no exaggeration to describe the Xiliang Army as having such weapons. Yizhou, which has worked hard for many years, cannot resist it at all.

"The Wu family is a big family in Yizhou. After I pacify Yizhou, I still need your help. Adding flowers to the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. General Wu must understand this truth better than me. Go back and think about it." Jia Rong waved his hand.

After Wu Ban went back, he couldn't sleep all night. What Jia Rong said was an indisputable fact. Zitong was so dangerous, and he was disintegrated by the Xiliang Army under repeated offensives. Even if there were [-] elite soldiers in Mianzhu, he would not The slightest confidence, just now in front of Jia Rong, is nothing more than pretending toughness.

"Brother, the situation in Yizhou is complicated, and the army of Liang is strong. It is not the little Mianzhu who can stop it. I hope you can think about it. Jia Rong has already stated that after taking Yizhou, he will treat the Wu family well and become the guard of the Mi family in Chang'an. There is no way to know the existence of a home.”

Wu Yi pondered for a long time. He naturally knew a thing or two about the Wei family and the Mi family in Chang'an. Even the Su family, who was born as a horse seller, now has a detached status in the world. Jia Rong developed a horse farm on the grassland and sold horses. Most of them were handed over to the Su family. An unknown Su family was able to step up to the present step by step, which had a lot to do with their team standing in the beginning.

"Master Liu treated my Wu family very well, how could he do such a rebellious thing?" Wu Yi said.

"Brother, you haven't seen the kind of weapon of the Xiliang Army, which can directly blow people up to the sky. The city gate is just a decoration in front of them. Instead of resisting stubbornly, it is better to surrender directly. It can save the Wu family. Liu Zhang seems to be If you stick to Yizhou and wait until Mianzhu is breached, you will be the first to surrender." Wu Ban said.

At this time in Mianzhu, Wu Yi was in sole control of power and had the absolute right to speak. The two brothers discussed until midnight, and finally planted the banner of the Xiliang Army on Mianzhu City.

As for the family in Chengdu, although Wu Yi was worried, he still had enough confidence in Jia Rong. Liu Zhang was an indecisive person, and he didn't have the courage to attack the Wu family.

Looking at the dense Xiliang army outside the city, Liu Zhang's face was pale. Wu Yi's direct refuge shocked the army in Yizhou. At this time, no one was optimistic about Liu Zhang, and there were countless secret favors to the Wu family.

Liu Zhang really wanted to completely expel the Wu family from Yizhou in a fit of anger, but he could only think about it in his heart when he thought of how powerful the Xiliang army was.

"My lord, Master Zhang Song is asking to see you." The guard's voice interrupted Liu Zhang's thoughts.

"Let him in."

After Zhang Song saw Liu Zhang, he just cupped his hands slightly, and Liu Zhang, who was upset, didn't pay that much attention.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Zhang never liked Zhang Song.

"My lord must be worrying about the Xiliang army, but I have a plan to save the people of Yizhou from any turmoil."

"What's the plan? Let's hear it." Liu Zhang asked hastily.

"Take refuge in Liangguo." Zhang Song analyzed: "Jia Rong has the appearance of an emperor. Looking at the world, the only person who can be compared with him is Cao Cao in the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Liangguo fought at a disadvantage many times. Liangguo pacified the world. It's just a matter of time, Mianzhu guard Wu Yi joins the Xiliang army, does the lord think that Liu Bei will save Yizhou?"

"Zhuge Liang's intention to send troops to Yizhou is obvious. At this time, Bajun probably belongs to Jingzhou, not to the prince. Even Yan Yan may have joined Liu Bei."

"Is this what you mean by not letting the people suffer from turmoil?" Liu Zhang said angrily.

"That's right, Liangguo treats the people very kindly. Why Hanzhong and other places did not rebel after taking refuge in Liangguo? Controlling, how many, and how many aristocratic families have already contacted the Xiliang army in secret, is unknown, I am afraid that what they are thinking is how to dedicate the prince's head to the Xiliang army, and have already gained Jia Rong's trust." Zhang Songdao .

For this ugly Zhang Song, Liu Zhang has never been optimistic, but today's words are like a bolt from the blue, suddenly he thought of the wall falling down and everyone pushing him down.

"Zhang Song, you are also an official in Yizhou. Why do you always think about Liang Guo? Could it be that you have taken refuge in Jia Rong?" Liu Zhang shouted.

"My lord clearly sees that the humble official has taken refuge in the Kingdom of Liang."

Liu Zhang was choked immediately, but Zhang Song simply admitted that he had joined the Xiliang Army.

"you?"

"My lord, the officials in Yizhou, how many people really think about the lord, as they said, after Yizhou was breached, with their own talents, they can still have an official position in Liangguo. Jia Rong always employs people. It is eclectic, and after the prince resisted, he must have guessed a little about the consequences of Chengdu being breached, so it is better to directly join the Xiliang army."

Zhang Song's words were simple and clear. He directly admitted that he was a member of the Xiliang Army and pointed out the way. Liu Zhang didn't know how he felt about such a "subject".

Orders were sent to all parts of Yizhou, and even Berkshire received an order from the Hanzhong Palace to surrender to the Xiliang Army.

The decision made by Liu Zhang saved Jia Rong a lot of trouble, and Zhang Song and others, who were heroes, also directly entered the officialdom of Liangguo.

Liu Zhang is still the King of Hanzhong, but this King of Hanzhong is going to live in Chang'an, where Jia Rong has prepared a big mansion for him, and Liangguo will provide him with food and drink.

Except for the accident of Berkshire, Yizhou was all brought into the hands of the Xiliang Army. It took only four months to send troops, and the whole Yizhou was pacified. This kind of record is very eye-catching in the world. Cao Cao was shocked, and also canceled the attack on Hanoi. At this time, in Liangguo, the army was in full swing, and Cao Jun was repeatedly defeated.

The Berkshire incident was in Jia Rong's expectation, and he did not intend to let Zhuge Liang go. However, the situation in Yizhou is complicated and there are many aristocratic families. It is not only necessary to deal with the people, but also to stabilize the aristocratic families in Yizhou. Tian Feng was ordered in danger, and was named Yizhou Mu, temporarily handling the affairs of Yizhou.

Zhuge Liang's complexion was extremely ugly. He thought that Liu Zhang would be able to rely on Yizhou's soldiers and horses to resist the Xiliang army. In a blink of an eye, they all surrendered. I really don't understand why Jia Rong was standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic family. When the army attacked the city, they should have assisted Liu Zhang and defended it with all their strength. Why did they surrender halfway.

When facing life and death, even the aristocratic family is no exception. For the sake of their lives, they can abandon everything. For the continuation of the family, loyalty can only be put aside.

After Jia Rong occupied Yizhou, he was not satisfied, but directly led [-] troops to attack Berkshire, intending to completely drive Liu Bei's forces out of Yizhou.

The Xiliang army used sharp methods, and used explosives desperately. In a short period of time, Zhuge Liang was defeated steadily. With the advantage of explosives, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat to Jingzhou. In the face of advanced weapons, Zhuge Liang was defeated, and his confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. How high-spirited he was when he came out to assist Liu Bei, the princes of the whole world did not pay attention to it. After arriving in Jingzhou, he devoted himself to the research of science and technology.

Zhuge Liang understood clearly that if he wanted to gain an advantage in front of the Xiliang army, he had to suppress the Xiliang army with weapons, especially the kind of weapons that could blow open the city gate.

Jia Rong didn't understand what Zhuge Liang did after he returned to Jingzhou. After Yizhou was pacified, it faced many problems. Yizhou was a rare place of stability for the great Han. Here, there were the most aristocratic families, and the phenomenon of land annexation was also the most serious. Relying on the financial resources in hand, there are many hectares of fertile land, but the people are still living hard.
