Chapter 261: Raising Troops
His bloody methods of dealing with foreigners and his determination to defend the frontier made many Youzhou generals yearn for it, and some of the main battle faction people under Liu Yu's account said good things for Gongsun Zan every time, and the majesty accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years is inviolable.
The soldiers in the army have always admired brave generals, although Gongsun Chan treats his subordinates very strictly, and even some nitpicking, there are still many people who are willing to follow, especially the famous white horse righteous servant, which makes many young and middle-aged people yearn for it.
Four months later, Liu Yu gathered 50,000 troops in Youzhou, and Zhang Ju's army confronted Changping, Gongsun Zhan Hao Ran was in the ranks, and this time he fought with Wuhuan and Zhang Chun, mainly relying on Gongsun Zhan, so Liu Yu and the officials under his command were also respectful to Gongsun Zhan.
During these days in Guangyang County, Jia Rong was the most chic, and he took Wei Fu to the streets when he had nothing to do, haunting the streets and alleys.
The cavalry under his command is trained outside the city, Jia Rong only regularly sends people to send food and clothing, the name of this team is "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", 1,200 people, soldiers recruited from all over Youzhou, with Jiang Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and other generals training, as well as Zhang Zhi, who was born as a lone wolf, assisted by the side, the training intensity of the cavalry can be imagined.
The thieves' nest robbers in the nearby counties have become a training ground for the cavalry, and the surrounding security is quiet, and the people in the vicinity know that there is a mysterious team in Guangyang County, which specializes in exterminating thieves and robbers, and its reputation is growing.
At the beginning, Lu Bu would go to the city every once in a while to see Jia Rong, but life in the city seemed boring to Lu Bu, so when Jiang Yu proposed to enter the city again, Lu Bu said that he would no longer follow.
Zhang Zhi's training methods were refreshing to new generals such as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, especially the unique cavalry training methods of the Western Liang Army.
Zhang Chun rebelled, and Liu Yu once again issued a conscription order to recruit people with lofty ideals to fight against the thieves.
Hearing the news, Jia Rong led 600 cavalry to join, and Lu Bu Jiang Yu led another 600 cavalry to join.
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally greeted him, in Youzhou, cavalry is also a rare existence, except for Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, few people can form a cavalry of thousands of people.
Sure enough, as rumored, Liu Yu treats people kindly, and he is also kind and kind.
At first glance, Jia Rong had a good impression of this old man, the people in the city responded to Liu Yu's call and actively enlisted in the army, so Liu Yu was able to form a team of tens of thousands of people in just a few months.
Jia Rong's identity was exposed when Gongsun Chan arrived in the army, I heard that Jia Rong was in the army, the morale of the Han army was even higher, Jia Rong was a person with the halo of a famous general on his head, although he had not really seen it, his prestige was there.
Gongsun Zan was awarded the title of Captain of the Surrender Colonel because of his meritorious service in exterminating Xianbei, and he was at the time of complacency.
Liu Yu treated Jia Rong with courtesy, and to a certain extent, he also thought that Jia Rong could properly contain Gongsun Zhan, and few generals in the Youzhou army dared to argue with Gongsun Chan face to face.
With a team of 50,000 people, only grain and grass is a very troublesome matter, the army is easy to form, but grain and grass are difficult to prepare, four months later, Liu Yu led the army to Changping slowly.
The Han army guards in Changping County breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Yu leading the army to come, Zhang Chunqiu Liju had more than 100,000 troops, and the soldiers were coming to the city, which was terrifying to watch.
Taking over the defense of Changping, Liu Yu actively listened to the suggestions of the generals and strengthened the city wall, Changping was only a small city, the city wall was not high, and the 50,000 Han troops in the city were also somewhat difficult.
And Zhang Chun suddenly occupied so many cities, and he also needed to digest them slowly, which is why Liu Yu had time to grasp the city defense slowly.
During this period, Liu Yu repeatedly proposed to send envoys to Wuhuan, intending to make the Wuhuan people quit their troops.
In Liu Yu's cognition, the culprits of this rebellion are Zhang Ju and others, and they have nothing to do with the Wuhuan people, and Qiu Liju led the army to rebel and was also confused by Zhang Ju and others.
Jia Rong shook his head secretly, Liu Yu is a Han person, but the maintenance of aliens has reached this point, isn't it a rebellion for the Wuhuan people to follow the army, and their impression of Liu Yu is greatly reduced.
Jia Rong's reputation can be described as quite bad, especially the words of Caifu in Luoyang are touting the people and belittling the royal family, and Liu Yu, as a royal family, should be prejudiced against Jia Rong, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to be courteous to himself.
Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun united with about 200,000 troops, Changping's east, west and south three city gates were fenced, but the north gate was not guarded, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun can do the position of Taishou and Zhongshan Xiang, are not general, the siege of three is missing one, can largely let the defenders in the city flee without a fight.
Standing on the city of Changping, the mighty rebels outside the city give people a strong sense of oppression, the flag covers the sun, the soldiers can't see the edge at a glance, if it is not for the north gate is not surrounded, Changping seems to have fallen into the enemy's vast sea.
After Jia Rong's identity was announced, his voice in the Han army was still very high.
Being in Changping, Jia Rong naturally had to put himself in Changping's shoes, and said: "My lord, the rebels' intentions are clearly revealed, please make a decision as soon as possible." In the past few days, Liu Yu seems to be strengthening Changping City, but in fact, he has been discussing with his generals how to persuade the Wuhuan people, and strengthening the city wall seems to be calming the emotions of the soldiers.
Liu Yu stroked his beard and said, "General Jia's words are reasonable, I don't know what your good plan is?" After speaking, Liu Yu set his eyes on the civil officials under his command.
Jia Rong couldn't help but be speechless, imagine what kind of advice a civilian official who had never been on the battlefield would make, and sure enough, the military generals in the house looked unhappy when they heard this.
The civilian-military generals in the house are clearly distinguished, the civil officials on the left and the military generals on the right.
Seeing that no one answered, Wei Yu Yue bowed and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Ju and his ilk are just a rabble of temporary combinations, 200,000 people, don't worry, our army's 50,000 victories are enough, and 200,000 people consume countless grains and grass every day, as long as our army sticks to Changping, within ten days, the rebels will run out of food, and they will inevitably collapse without a fight." ”
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Wei Cao's words are very true, and the order is sent to go down and strengthen the city wall, and the generals of each department perform their duties. ”
Jia Rong persuaded again: "My lord, no, the traitors and others have caused a lot of harm to the people, if they are still surrounded by Changping, I am afraid that the surrounding people will suffer from the war, and our army does not have much food and grass, so it is not appropriate to confront the rebels." ”
"Zhang Ju and other traitors go like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, looting villages everywhere, if this continues, the most bitter is the people, my Han has always been benevolent to govern the country, how can the people fall into the war and ignore it."
Liu Yu's eyes showed a contemplative look, Jia Rong's words hit his weakness, in Youzhou, Liu Yu is a good model of loving the people like a son, if this matter spreads, it will have a very bad impact on his reputation, and Jia Rong also grasped this point.
Xiaofeng began, all the gentlemen worked together to push the iron riding xiangshang, friends who like the iron riding remember to collect it, which is not only convenient for the next reading, but also supports the cliff, thank you!
