Chapter 658: Death Battle
When the body method reached the level of Wang Yue, the city wall could no longer be an obstacle, not only that, the assassination in Wang Yue's hands was absolutely invincible, and he quietly sneaked into the city without causing any waves.
Usually have such a team, idle, sent to the enemy side, assassination, enough to cause panic, this is also the previous assassination and lone wolf out together, so that the Central Plains princes are shocked, you can't always lead enough guards to guard the left and right, a hundred secrets, maybe these masters will be mixed in the guards.
Wang Yue went to the city just to inquire about intelligence, Cao Cao's methods for the Xiliang army can be described as profound, and for the protection of generals and strategists, Liliang is definitely the strongest.
Facing the turtle-like city, Huang Zhong did not show any anxiety, but constantly ordered the cavalry to fight the autumn wind on the battlefield, so that the Cao army did not dare to easily transport grain and grass, so that Dongjun became a lonely city, unless Cao Cao led the army to come to the rescue, otherwise Huang Zhong could trap the Cao army in the city.
Liangguo has the support of merchants, Liliang is extremely powerful, grain and grass support, some merchants served as free transportation, these people are all thinking about being able to achieve some status in the Chamber of Commerce, in this era, the status of businessmen is very low, and even the clothes they wear when they go out can not be gorgeous, just enjoy it in the house, after having money, they are naturally keen on power, and the official preparation of this Chamber of Commerce just satisfies the small vanity of businessmen, and becomes a person in the Chamber of Commerce, when the status arrives, You can choose to take a carriage or a sedan chair when you go out, and this kind of treatment is absolutely unprecedented.
Jia Rong doesn't think about what these businessmen think, businessmen have a very important status for a country, no matter which emperor suppresses businessmen, he can never change this, businessmen have a low status, but they can bring wealth and strength to the country, Jia Rong naturally doesn't mind giving businessmen a little name, so that businessmen all over the world know that Liangguo is treated well.
The establishment of the Liang State is definitely a first-class event in the world, although some of the rules of the Han Dynasty have not made too many changes, but the establishment of a country, the significance is extraordinary, climbing the dragon and the phoenix abound, everyone wants to become the founding hero, maybe in the future, when Jia Rong rewards the ministers, he can be named a prince, and the family background will immediately become prominent.
"General Huang, Xun Yu is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and there are fierce generals in his city to help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture, why not use that kind of weapon." Ma Chao asked.
Huang Zhong's brows furrowed slightly, he naturally heard about the matter between Ma Chao and Lu Bu, and Huang Zhong actually appreciated the young general's appearance in the Xiliang Army, thinking that back then, at his age, he was just an unknown person in Jingzhou.
And Ma Chao's own martial arts and talent, are very good, he has expressed his opinions many times in the military class, compared to Lu Bu, a fierce general who only knows the supremacy of force, it is stronger, of course, this is just some of the views of Huang Zhong as the commander-in-chief, Lu Bu is a fierce general of Liangguo, such a character is enough for the army to burst out on the battlefield with strong combat effectiveness, which Huang Zhong has to admit.
"General Ma, that kind of weapon, can only be used as little as possible, this is also the Holy Lord's order before leaving, there is no shortage of capable people in the Cao army, if they know the weakness of this weapon, the advantage occupied by our army will also be greatly weakened, this is a situation that the Holy Lord does not want to see." Huang Zhongdao.
Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "General, as the vanguard of the army, you should charge into battle, since the military heart is available, why not capture Dongjun in one fell swoop and shake the Cao army, so that the prestige of the Liang country is known to the world." ”
Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, vetoed Ma Chao's suggestion, the battlefield is not a matter of will, every decision means the loss of itself and the enemy, especially the confrontation on the battlefield, the wrong decision, and even the entire team can be buried.
"The Cao army has 50,000, our army has 40,000, the number of soldiers is less than the Cao army, and the Cao army has the advantage of the city, so we need to plan it slowly."
Although Ma Chao disagreed with Huang Zhong's views and thought that this old general lacked sharp momentum in battle, he had to admit that Huang Zhong's words were reasonable, not to mention that once Huang Zhong decided something, it was difficult to change it, but it was a military order.
The Xiliang army outside the city has repeatedly provoked, and the Cao army in the city is also bloody, and the two sides have fought each other, and every time the Xiliang army wins, this also makes the Cao army dare not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army.
The forms of engagement are diverse, sneak attack to cut off the grain road, which is very deadly, and at the critical moment, the army in the city is not allowed to go out of the city and the Xiliang army to fight a decisive battle, this is also Huang Zhong's strategy, so that the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, at that time, it is the time when the Xiliang army shows its sharp fangs, and it will be easier to defeat the Cao army in one fell swoop.
The war in Jingzhou is coming to an end, and the grain and grass in the city can hardly support too much time, and even the consumables such as arrows, slabs, and boulders are about to be insufficient, and even Cao Chun ordered the houses of the people in the city to be demolished for military use, which shows the determination of Cao Jun.
Jia Rong was in the palace, and he kept receiving information from the front, Liang Guo had a great Confucian teacher like Cai Yong, and all the etiquette was already clear, except for the lack of eunuchs in the palace, the others were already there.
The palace maid has been selected and constantly entered the palace, and the desolate palace in the past has gradually become lively, watching the money be spent like flowing water, Jia Rong's flesh is in pain, this is not the consumption of the battlefield, but the daily expenses in the palace.
However, Cai Yong and other officials in the DPRK and China were very insistent on this, believing that the royal etiquette could not be lost, and they did not hesitate to consume money, and they also advised Jia Rong to set up a Shaofu to be responsible for the expenses of the palace, aiming to distinguish the small warehouse of the palace from the warehouse of the whole country.
With fame, there is naturally no shortage of talented people to take refuge, not to mention that today's Liangguo all shows a steaming xiangshang situation, is the ideal place for many merchant families, in addition to the big family, unwilling to be bound by the Xiliang Army's set of constraints, there are many businessmen who go to Luoyang to do business.
After some planning, the streets of Luoyang have become wider enough to accommodate the eight horses driving side by side, and the official road and the road taken by the people and the road for emergency information transmission are very clearly distinguished, and the four main streets distinguish Luoyang.
After becoming the emperor, Jia Rong truly realized how free his previous life was, and the great cause of the Liang country became more and more important things that needed to be dealt with, and sometimes a trivial matter would be brought up by the officials of the DPRK and China.
This also made Jia Rong have the idea of delegating power, the three-born six-ministry system, of which Shangshu Province has the greatest power, because it is in charge of the specific implementation of the holy decree, and it has six departments under its jurisdiction, which is the largest power department, but Jia Rong did not set up the post of Shangshuling, but also to avoid excessive power in the hands of officials in the DPRK and China, and divide the imperial power.
If you don't become an emperor, you will never understand the feeling of being in power, whenever you go to the early dynasty, you accept the kneeling of hundreds of officials, giving Jia Rong a feeling that you are in power and the world is in your hands.
No wonder there are many people who do not hesitate to give everything for this throne, even if they know that they will die, there are still so many people who rush to it.
Among the three provinces, the power of Shangshu Province was gradually increased by Jia Rong, which dealt with political affairs, which caused the officials to resist, national affairs, in their opinion, should be personally seen by the saint, and then approved, how can it be handled by the officials of the court, in this way, if the officials of Shangshu Province deliberately deceive the saint, it is definitely more serious than the disaster of the eunuchs, the eunuchs are only active in the palace, but the officials of the DPRK and China can contact the border army, an official, once he has great power in his hands, there is military support outside, It's inevitable that something out of the ordinary will be done.
Under Jia Rong's insistence, Shangshu Province began to deal with state affairs, and only some big things would be reviewed by Jia Rong personally, as if it was a situation where Jia Rong delegated power when the Xiliang Army was in Chang'an.
However, at this time, the Liang State was at its peak, the army was strong, and the military power was tightly controlled by Jia Rong.
A newly established country, the blood is fresh and vibrant, and the whole body is full of vitality.
Shangshu Province has become a hot department in Liangguo, not to mention anything else, just the fact that it has the most contact with the Shengshang, it is also worth many officials to break their heads and squeeze it in, the system of Liangguo is there, if you want to enter the center of power, you must have enough merit, and officials must have political achievements when governing the locality.
In Nanyang County, it lasted for nearly two months, the grain and grass in the city were only enough for the soldiers for three days, the arrows and other things had been consumed, and even the houses of the people in the city were demolished.
Outside Nanyang City, 60,000 Xiliang troops are waiting for them, among the Chinese army, Zhao Yun is beside a thousand black-armored cavalry, holding high the banner, standing out from the crowd, the wolves on it seem to be able to come back to life, scarlet eyes, blood-red teeth, lifelike, successive sieges, has made the army lose more than 10,000 people, thousands of disabled.
"Hmph, Cao Chun finally can't help but go out of the city?" Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said.
"Exactly, presumably there is not much grain and grass left in the city, and even the houses in the city are probably almost demolished, without the support of grain and grass, sooner or later there will be a mutiny, and Li Dian Cao Chun went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army, which is also a wise move." Guo Da echoed.
