Jiang Sheng's General Staff has seen the general trend of the world very thoroughly, and the careful layout has created good conditions for Jiang Sheng's conquest of Gongsun Du. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Zhang Yang, the pastor of the state, never dreamed that he would be ranked as the third duke, but the edict of the emperor was not wrong.
Although the territory of the state is not small, Zhang Yang also has Mu Shun, Yang Chou and other generals, but the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang repeatedly invaded, Zhang Yang's situation is not good, this time donated money to build a city, he originally wanted to change to other states to govern, but he did not expect the imperial court to give him the position of Tai Lieutenant, and Jia Xu, who was originally the Tai Lieutenant, led the Mu Zhou.
The other state pastors were deeply rooted, and Zhang Yang also knew that he was not capable of competing with them, so he didn't think about it and went back to Beijing to become a lieutenant.
Jia Xu went to meet Jiang Sheng before taking office, Jiang Sheng said to him: "Bingzhou is the gateway to the north of Luoyang, and the geographical location is extremely important. β
Jia Xu said: "Lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best, but I hope to select two generals to go to the state together." β
"Oh? Who do you choose? β
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou!"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "These two people swear not to surrender, and they are still locked up in the Yecheng prison, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to use them!" β
"This is not bothering the lord, the subordinates have their own methods to recruit the second general for the lord!"
"The two men were faithful, and they were both imprisoned for more than a year, and they still refused to give in. If you can recruit two of them, you will definitely serve me with all your heart! β
"I have another request from the subordinates, please exempt the state from paying taxes for two years."
Jiang Sheng thought about it and agreed to Jia Xu's request.
After Jia Xu said goodbye to Jiang Sheng, he went to Yecheng Prison to see Yan Liang.
Yan Liang was taken back to Yecheng by Yu Ban, but Wen Chou was still imprisoned in Dongguang, and neither of them knew that the other had been captured.
When Jia Xu entered the Yecheng Prison, Yan Liang was looking up at the roof.
"General Yan, you have suffered!"
Yan Liang heard the human voice, squinted at Jia Xu, did not answer, and continued to look at the roof.
Jia Xu saw that Yan Liang's face was haggard, and he was no longer strong as before, and he couldn't bear it, so he said: "General Yan has been holding on for more than a year, and he is resolute not to surrender, but are you waiting for Yuan Shao to come to the rescue?" β
Yan Liang said indifferently: "My lord's protΓ©gΓ© is all over the world, and he will always come to save me." β
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Haha, General Yan, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao won't come to save you in this life." β
Yan Liang's body shook, turned his head to stare at Jia Xu, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
"Yuan Shao had already killed himself a year ago!"
"What?!" Yan Liang's body was already very thin, but now when he was excited, his green muscles bulged, and he grabbed the pillar hard.
"General Yan, I won't lie to you, when my lord's army broke through Nanpi, Yuan Shao was already dead."
"What about the children of my lord's household? You're not going to kill them all, are you? β
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "General Yan, you also underestimate my lord." Since the Yellow Turban, my lord has reached the world with benevolence and virtue, and to the rebellion of Yuan Shao, have you ever heard that my lord is thirsty for killing? Yuan Shao's body has been sent back to his hometown by our lord for burial. At the beginning, my lord also asked Xun Yu to visit the descendants of the Yuan family and promise an official position, but I heard that Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others took the Yuan family to Cao Cao. β
When Yuan Shao was making trouble, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all dissuaded, so when Jia Xu talked about Yuan Shao's rebellion, Yan Liang was not different.
"I'm here to let the general out of the mountain and help me take charge of the state, I don't know what the general wants?"
Yan Liang stood up and paced in the small space, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "My lord has passed away, how can Yan live in the world?" β
Jia Xu said: "General Yan's words are wrong! All heroes follow the trend, Yuan Shao acted against the sky, so that he died, General Yan will not understand, now my main army is strong and strong, and there is the support of the emperor, it is a good time to open up the great cause, General Yan is brave and unparalleled, if it is over but a lifetime, is it not against the virtue of heaven? Why not go along with the world and make a contribution? β
Yan Liang was silent for a long time, and Jia Xu waited outside the prison for Yan Liang to reply.
After a while, Yan Liang hugged his fists and said: "Mr.'s words, Yan Mou untied the knot in his heart, please reply to Jiang Gong, Yan Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" β
Jia Xu clapped his hands and smiled: "General Yan is really a cheerful person, come here, wait for General Yan to bathe and change clothes!" β
A sergeant had already come over and opened the cell door, and walked out with Yan Liang in his arms.
The sunlight outside the prison was a little dazzling, Yan Liang covered his eyes with his hands, and was helped by the sergeants to the bathing place, and then several maidservants came to serve, and the soldiers walked out directly, and there was no one to guard Yan Liang at all.
Yan Liang was originally a loyal man, and since he had already surrendered, he would not go elsewhere, Jia Xu believed in him, so he no longer had to be vigilant and withdrew the soldiers.
After Yan Liang bathed and changed clothes, Jia Xu took him to Songhe Tower for dinner, and after eating, Yan Liang's complexion improved a lot, and Jia Xu took him to see Jiang Sheng.
Unfortunately, Jiang Sheng went out hunting, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back. Yan Liang had to temporarily go to live in Jia Xu's mansion.
Three days later, Jia Xu and Yan Liang went to Dongguang to recruit Wen Chou, Wen Chou saw that Yan Liang had surrendered, that is, he surrendered, and the new lieutenant Zhang Yang was edicted to worship Yan Liang as General Zhaowu, and Wen Chou was General Yingyang, and went to serve in the state with Jia Xu.
Jia Xu also planned to take Yan Liangwen Chou to see Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng did not come back, and later Zhen Yan came with news that Jiang Sheng went to Huang County, Qingzhou, and he would not come for a while.
According to Jiang Sheng's instructions, Yan Liangwen Chou each led 20,000 Jizhou troops to merge with Jia Xu, and the original Mu Shun and Yang Chou were transferred to serve in the Youzhou army.
Liaodong's strategy has begun to prepare, Gao Shun, Zhenggu, Bian Xi has led 70,000 troops into Youbeiping County, Gao Lan, Tian Yu, Chu Yan also dispatched troops, made an offensive posture, Gongsun Du also has 150,000 troops under his command, the strength is similar to the soldiers and horses sent by Jiang Sheng.
Although Zhang Ning is a military advisor, it is the first time to command such a large battle, fortunately, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai analyzed various possible situations before, Zhang Ning had the bottom of his heart, and ordered all departments to march as planned.
Reviewing and dispatching materials and replenishing the needs of front-line soldiers and horses in a timely manner, fortunately, the grain route has always been firmly controlled by Jiang Sheng's forces, and the logistics support can fully keep up.
When the troops and horses were vigorously mobilized in the north, Huangxian County was also lively, Zhao Yun led the Xuanjia cavalry to go to sea with the naval transport ship, Tai Shici only left 2,000 people to stay at the Naval Academy, and the rest of the naval officers and soldiers boarded the ship to participate in the battle.
Jiang Sheng presented the flag to the navy at the Huangxian Naval Base, and wrote "The Navy of the Han Empire", Tai Shici took the battle flag and said solemnly: "The Navy of the Han Empire will definitely dominate the sea and raise the prestige of our Han army!" β
Jiang Sheng said: "This battle is the first appearance of my Han Navy!" I look forward to your triumphant return! β
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Victory!" Win! β
Jiang Sheng waved his hand, "Let's go!" β
