However, between half a month, the Xiliang Army changed its strategy and directly occupied the two counties of Guangyang in Shanggu, which shows Jia Xu's means, it is said that Yuan Shao laid down layers of soldiers and horses in Guangyang County, Jia Xu has no matter how great his ability is, it is impossible to occupy it in half a month, but he did it, the Xiliang Army up and down, all admire this, invisibly, Jia Xu's position in the Xiliang Army has been unshaken.

The land under the rule of the Western Liang Army, expanded to two states, three counties and one Chang'an, compared with the heyday, rose again, after the battle of Hangu Pass, the Western Liang Army gradually showed its sharp fangs.

According to the soldiers, restore the production of the people, is Jia Rong issued an order to zuihou, Yan Rou has been operating in Youzhou for a few years, Jia Rong does not want to fight with him, and the soldiers are tired, with the support of the three counties of Youzhou and the Wuhuan people, it is only a matter of time to pacify Youzhou, and it is not in a hurry, and even if Yan Rou and Yuan Shao are unwilling, it is even more difficult to seize the three counties from the hands of the Xiliang army.

The changes in Youzhou, naturally did not hide from Yan Rou's eyes, in a hurry, dispatched a large army, at the border of Yuyang County, for fear that the Xiliang Army would take the opportunity to capture Youzhou, these battles, it has always been the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army fighting, and Weilan of Daijun doesn't know what's going on, such a foreigner, Yan Rou doesn't dare to believe it, not to mention that the Xiliang Army has captured Guangyang County and Shanggu County, the outcome of Daijun can be imagined, and there are faint rumors that Weilan has taken refuge in the Xiliang Army.

Yan Rou is now thinking about how to find an ally, when the princes were allied, he and Liu Bei got along quite well, but now that Liu Bei is in the Central Plains, he was beaten into a water dog by Cao Cao, how can he have time to take care of him, other than that, there are only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao openly attacked Youzhou before, Yan Rou didn't have any good impression of him, not to mention Cao Cao, on the way to retreat the army, don't attack each other with Liu Bei.

"General, the general didn't bring the army here, why be so worried, if you don't worry, why don't you send someone to test it." Strategist.

Yan Rou let out a long sigh and said, "The Xiliang Army has taken Guangyang County and Shanggu County with a thunderous momentum, adjacent to our army, judging from Jia Rong's style of doing things in the past, the two armies will have a battle sooner or later, so it is better to prepare early." ”

The strategist nodded yes, and there was no haode plan.

Liu He was in Youzhou, but he didn't feel any sense of crisis, even when Yuan Shao's army was on the way, Yan Rou sent people to Emperor Han to say that he wanted him to go back to serve as the pastor of Youzhou, not to mention how happy he was, but he didn't expect that after coming back, Youzhou was almost Yan Rou's hall, thinking of Emperor Han's words before leaving, full of a sense of loss, and in the long run, he was also immersed in a rich life, every day with fine clothes and jade food, accompanied by everywhere, there were beautiful maids and maids beside him, and the days were also very chic, It was as if he had entrusted the affairs of Youzhou to Yan Rou, regardless of whether he asked.

After Xian Yufu failed to garrison Guangyang County, he returned to the army and beware of the Jizhou army, Xian Yufu did not send as much as Yan Rou thought, the reason why the Xiliang Army sent troops was not that Yan Rou sent someone to invite, but now he actually wants to guard or fight, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to spread it.

After receiving Yan Rou's order, Xian Yufu was a little unimpressed.

Jia Rong left the people and horses to guard the three counties of Youzhou and Youzhou, returned to Chang'an, left for half a year, Chang'an has changed a lot, the stable Chang'an is a lot of businessmen are happy to see, their money has a place to spend, there is a place to make money, come and go endlessly, in Chang'an City, there is no sense of the atmosphere of troubled times, here is as if it is a peaceful and prosperous era.

The people, merchants, officials, and soldiers walking on the streets, their mental outlook looks at the whole world, and there are few of them, the salaries of the officials are high, and the soldiers are quite loved among the people, as for the people, there is work to do, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, and even a part of the money can be saved, which can be used as a family, and the life is solid, full of energy, and the bustling Chang'an City is full of vitality.

Jia Rong refused to be greeted by the officials in the city, and walked into Chang'an in an ordinary carriage.

The wife and son at home made him feel warm and enjoy the joy of family.

Mihuan Cai Yan Weifu Cai Ling Xiu'er heard that Jia Rong was back, and they all got together, Jia Rong went out to fight, this is the thing that touches the hearts of several women the most, on the battlefield, the swords and guns are ruthless, and they don't want Jia Rong to go to the battlefield in their hearts.

Good words comforted the five beautiful wives, Jia Rong ordered his subordinates to serve wine and food, in the military, it is strictly forbidden to drink, although Jia Rong has some privileges, it is not good to be shy every time to disobey, and the food in the army is not very good, how can there be such a variety of Chang'an.

In his spare time, Jia Rong began to think about the development route of the Xiliang Army, there is no doubt that the elite soldiers are the elite soldiers, the Xiliang Army has always taken the route of elite soldiers, even when the princes knocked on the pass, they did not blindly recruit like other princes, resist the enemy, the soldiers were bearish, and the quality of the officers was stronger than the princes of the Central Plains. And regardless of the life and death of the low-level soldiers, and the Xiliang army fights, what is required is that the generals learn to command, not rush to kill, and there are deputy generals after the death of the main general, and the decline of one level at a time, such a model can keep the army on the spot and not disperse, and will not lead to the death of the commander and the defeat of the whole army.

Economically, the support of Xianlian Pavilion has been slightly insufficient, after all, it is more than 100,000 troops to be fed, and the daily expenses and salaries are a large sum, especially this year, the Xiliang Army launched a war for more than half a year, the warehouse became empty, and it was impossible to make ends meet every day, or relying on the Shili of the Mi family and the Wei family, it was able to stabilize the situation, and it was expected to be able to support the war for a year, but I didn't expect the consumption of the war to be too huge, and I had to stop the idea of completely occupying Youzhou.

Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of money, that's right, it is RMB, he had exchanged ten yuan for the Qingyu Sword, the Xiliang Army's governance is no longer a state and a county, and the currency can be passed, and now the merchant transactions are nothing more than gold and five baht money, five baht money is too heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient to carry, and there are also some barter, fancy things, and can be exchanged for items of equal value, this method is very applicable when the city is besieged, after all, there is money at that time and it can't be spent.

Now the Xiliang army has occupied the two states of Chang'an, plus the three counties of Youzhou and the three cities on the grassland, there are countless merchants who come and go to trade, and the daily tax is a large sum alone.

After the issuance of banknotes, it was easier for merchants to carry, and it became much easier for people to go to the street to buy things, and they did not have to carry a belt of food or a load of firewood on the street as before.

As the owner of the hairstyle banknotes, the profits of the Xiliang army will also be huge, you can use spare money to buy grain, iron and other materials, and then process them into weapons in the craftsman's workshop, sell them to merchants, and earn the difference in the middle, which is not as simple as one plus one equals two, the speed of money will definitely be faster, and after this economic model is fixed, the profits will be greater, and the merchants who rush to it will not let the Xiliang army not lack food and grass because of the war.

Just do it, Jia Rong called Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li two brothers, for the Xiliang Army to issue banknotes, did a discussion, even with Zhang Zhao's calmness, after hearing this strategy, can't help but applaud, the issuance of banknotes, can be described as a shocking move, if successful, the issuer will be remembered in history, for future generations.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li took over the task of banknotes and was responsible for the specific affairs of the production and issuance of banknotes.

Seeing that the Xiliang Army had no will to fight, Yan Rou was completely relieved and continued to develop the strength of Youzhou, at this time he didn't know that Wei Lan had chosen to take refuge in the Xi Liang Army, and the Wuhuan people under his command could all become people who fought against the water, but rumors about Wei Lan had spread in Youzhou.

Jia Xu found Wei Lan and ordered him to secretly send a message to Yan Rou, saying that he needed the support of the army, and it was expected that Yan Rou would not have any suspicions, and then there were Wuhuan people to respond from it, and the Xiliang army might be able to fight without end, and then send troops to the right Beiping, at this time Yan Rou only had two counties in his hands, and after losing the right Beiping, he became a remote corner, feeding tens of thousands of troops with a county, and there was no reason to be invincible, Jia Xu just wanted Yan Rou to completely lose the qualification to dominate the world, withdraw from the stage of history, and let the world have one less prince.

The current situation is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the strength of the Xiliang Army far exceeds that of the Qin Dynasty back then, and the possibility of dominating the world has become great.

Jia Rong returned to Chang'an, but Jia Xu has a strong fighting spirit, for Jia Rong's great cause, even if he pays more, he will not hesitate, the Xiliang Army in Guangyang County has only more than 10,000 people, and Jia Xu's reliance is on these 10,000 people.

Sure enough, after Yan Rou received Veran's letter for help, he just questioned it, and then sent a large army to Wuzhan to respond, no matter what, Veran is the general of the Youzhou Army, and has a high prestige among the Wuhuan people, and his return can make the Wuhuan people more homecoming.

And Wei Lan also belittled the Xiliang Army in his letter, what was used as reinforcements to occupy the city and not return it, but it made him win a lot of favor from Yan Rou.

In the army that has no final response, it is naturally composed of Wuhuan people, and now Yan Rou has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and more than 10,000 people are Wuhuan people, even if he doesn't want to send Wuhuan people, there is no way.

After arriving at Wuzhi, Wei Lan secretly contacted the Wuhuan people in the city, and secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and Wuzhi fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, most of the Youzhou troops defending the city surrendered, and only a small number fled back to Yan Rou in embarrassment.

After this battle, the number of Youzhou troops surrendered reached 20,000, and Yan Rou's strength plummeted.

It's the New Year, if you have money or not, you can go home for the New Year, and if you can't come back in the field, remember to call your family and wish you all a happy New Year!
