Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Many generals immediately thought of the persuading letter in the city that day. There are not a few soldiers who are loyal to Liu Bei, and they are still struggling to support them, but there are also many soldiers who are on the sidelines.

The pressure suddenly eased, and Zhou Tai led the soldiers to attack Liu Bei's army in a domineering manner.

With the heavy infantry entering the city and more and more Xiliang troops breaking into the city, Liu Bei's face became more and more ugly. The city was in a state of chaos at this time. There are very few private soldiers, and they are waiting for the Xiliang army to enter the city, thus giving Liu Bei a fatal blow.

Zhang Fei said loudly: "Brother, retreat quickly, don't stay for long."

At this moment, Liu Bei's heart is ashamed. He has been running around for many years. It seems that the whole world has no place to stay. He can't get rid of his face when he takes refuge in Cao Cao. It can be said that the whole world will lose him in the future. Qualifications, and the restoration of the Han Dynasty, will become empty talk.

The heavy cavalry has entered the city. Their mission is to quickly control all the six city gates of Xiangyang and prevent an enemy from getting away. Huang Zhong's purpose is very simple, that is to wipe out Liu Bei and the officials of Xiangyang. Destroy Liu Bei's power in Xiangyang.

After a night of fighting, the people who woke up early saw shocking bloodstains and corpses. Broken arms and limbs could be seen everywhere. Many people immediately hid at home after seeing this scene.

"General, Liu Bei was not found."

Hearing such news, Huang Zhong's expression was not so good-looking, and he raided Xiangyang. At this time, all six city gates were strictly guarded, but Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were all gone.

"Continue to search and find the three of them." Huang Zhong said.

"General, the soldiers are not very familiar with Xiangyang, so it is better to mobilize the people." Guo Jia suggested.

After the Xiliang army entered the city, they did not disturb the people. Instead, they began to restore normal order in the city. A thousand gold rewards, and a hundred gold rewards for information.”

The poor people have never seen Baijin and Qianjin in their lives, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang don't know who they are.

"Zhang Fei?" A commoner muttered, "Could it be General Zhang San?"

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei seldom show up among the common people, but Zhang Fei is known to the common people. The man who is tall and thick and has a voice like a gong leaves a deep impression on people.

After learning that it was the Xiliang Army who entered the city, many people felt relieved. They already knew about some policies of the Xiliang Army. Slanted facts.

Under the vigorous search of the people and soldiers, a commoner provided Zhang Fei's actions. After sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers, this peerless general in Liu Bei's hands also became a prisoner.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who were with Zhang Fei were not spared either.

After hearing the news of the arrest of the three, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. With the three of them in his hands, Jingzhou is at his fingertips. He only needs one order, and he can easily get cities one after another.

Since Xiangyang's city gates were closed tightly, the banner of Liu Bei's army was still tall on the city. From the perspective of outsiders, Xiangyang still belonged to Liu Bei.

The news that the three were captured still reached the ears of other guards. Unexpectedly, the guards from other places did not feel any resistance when they learned that it was the Xiliang Army who came. After meeting the conditions, he opened the city gate very calmly.

Except for Nanjun, all of Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, and even Liu Bei, a hero of the generation, became a prisoner.

Under Cai Mao's persuasion, Liu Cong chose to surrender. He was treated the same as Liu Zhang, and went to Luoyang to live in peace. It was more of a surveillance. Compared with Liu Zhang, this Liu Cong was less harmful.

What's more, with Cai Mao's relationship, Jia Rong is not afraid that Liu Cong will cause trouble.

Seeing the imperial palace in Xiangyang City, Huang Zhong curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It can still be called an imperial palace just like this."

Compared with Luoyang's palace, Xiangyang's palace is very simple and simple. There is no moat outside the palace. This is why the Xiliang army was able to quickly pacify the entire city. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are needed to complete it.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were temporarily detained in the city, under strict guard by soldiers.

Losing Xiangyang and becoming a prisoner, Liu Bei became much older overnight. His previous great ambitions will also become clouds with this prisoner. He understands Jia Rong's methods and will definitely not give him any chance to stand up.

Guan Yu was completely furious. Regardless of Zhou Cang's dissuasion, he led the remaining [-] soldiers in the city towards Xiangyang. No matter how much he paid, he would bring Zhang Fei and Liu Bei out. After so many years, The three of them lived and died together, how many ups and downs they have gone through, even if they die, they must die together. Ever since he followed Liu Bei to the present, Guan Yu has never regretted it, and he has never thought that Liu Bei is not worthy of being a big brother. Be responsible, no matter how Liu Bei chooses, he will never leave.

As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu again. Now Jingzhou almost belonged to the Liang Kingdom, and Guan Yu was a diehard. Guarding Nanjun was a great trouble, so leaving the city by himself saved a lot of tricks.

The furious Guan Yu led the soldiers desperately, and killed the cavalry until they were covered in blood, and there were not many soldiers left under him. He roared to the sky, and hundreds of soldiers lowered their heads. After the first battle, many soldiers chose to flee and followed Guan Yu By their side, they have already made them unable to see any hope.

With the defeat of Guan Yu and the capture of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, Jingzhou was completely pacified.

In the Liangguo Imperial Palace, all civil and military officials sang praises and were beaming with joy.

Jia Rong was in a good mood, and rewarded the soldiers who attacked Jingzhou with a lot of money, and the officials who governed the area were also in place quickly.

The Cai family moved to Luoyang. In the city, Jia Rong prepared a mansion for them. Cai Mao is now a relative of the emperor. Naturally, he cannot be shabby. Moreover, Cai Mao is also a representative of Jingzhou. The momentary counterattack was the factor that exacerbated Liu Bei's defeat.

Seeing Zhuge Liang locked in the small black room, Jia Rong felt extremely happy and resisted the urge to laugh.

"Mr. Kong Ming, I've heard you famous for a long time," Jia Rong said.

"Hehe, Jia Rong, you are nothing more than a rebel from the Han Dynasty, and you don't feel ashamed when you face the world." Zhuge Liang countered without hesitation.

"Ashamed to face the world? The Han Dynasty rebelled?" Jia Rong said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. A courtier of Qin State?"

"As long as the people can live a stable life, the bullshit royal family is nothing more than empty talk. Stability in the world is the general trend. With Mr. Kong Ming's talent, can't he even understand this point? I have treated the people well since I started the army. With elite soldiers, all attacks are invincible, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The king is a boat and the people are water, and water can carry a boat and capsize it."

"A person is mortal, and he is heavier than Taishan or lighter than a feather. He died for the righteousness in his mouth, because he didn't know. Mr. Kong Ming was so talented. When he thought about doing something for the people, when he thought about it, let the soldiers at the door Spread the word." Jia Rong left behind these words and walked out.

After Zhuge Liang just heard Jia Rong's words, he felt extremely absurd. After thinking about it carefully, he found that the reason why the Han Dynasty destroyed the 400-year-old foundation so quickly was because of the people, and how similar it was to the Qin Dynasty back then. .

"Water can carry a boat and also overturn it." For the first time, Zhuge Liang felt that this sentence was so philosophical.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Jia Rong planned to persuade them at all. These two people are out-and-out diehards, letting them go is just adding trouble to themselves.

In the third year of Kaiyuan, God did not seem to be so cooperative. There was a rare drought, and many places had no harvest. The affected places opened warehouses for disaster relief. Even merchants donated a lot of money and food, and then experienced snowstorms. Liangzhou Many people in Bingzhou had no shelter due to the collapse of their houses, and they were promptly resolved.

Relatively speaking, Cao Jun’s rule was not so stable. For one thing, Cao Cao did not have enough strength to rescue the people. At this time, he had the land of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but he had to support an army of nearly 30. They had no choice but to increase taxes, and the disaster year was not spared. Even with the support of the garrison army, the situation could not be restored. Fortunately, the disaster situation in Liangguo was more serious, which gave Cao Jun a little chance to breathe.

Many people under Cao Jun's rule, heard that Liangguo's policy was good, and went to them one after another, but Cao Cao used tyrannical means to stay. Without the support of the people, it was impossible to feed the huge army, and the soldiers lost on the battlefield could not be replenished in time.

The people who were forced to helpless rose up and turned into bandits, countless. Cao Cao was so busy that even though he had many counselors to help him, it was hard for a clever woman to survive without rice, so he could only blindly send soldiers to suppress it.

Cao Cao also borrowed Liangguo's policy and proposed to let merchants collect donations. Cao Cao was very angry when he saw the poor rice from the donations. Could it be that what Liangguo can do is so difficult for him.

In the year of disaster, Liangguo conscripted soldiers. In just one year, the number of troops expanded to 40. This growth rate is very astonishing. Before that, all the soldiers in Liangguo were added together, but there were only more than 20 soldiers. There is no precedent for such a thing among the princes to increase the number of troops by 10,000+.

Different from the soldiers of the princes, there are 40 soldiers and horses, and 30 are standing troops. As long as there is a war, they can go to the battlefield at any time. Among them, 10 people are stationed in Luoyang to protect the safety of the capital.

Zhuge Liang surrendered. After reading the military system of the Xiliang Army and the official system and policies of Liang State sent by Jia Rong, Zhuge Liang considered for three full days, and finally chose to surrender, starting from a small county magistrate.
