Chapter 386: The princes rise one after another
The White Wave Army took advantage of the situation to rise up, to collect the homeless homeless, wherever the army went, the officers and soldiers fled, gradually, Bocai brought together about 200,000 fighters, although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not very good, but it is expensive in the number of people, more than 10,000 people are boundless, 200,000 people, looking at people can not help but retreat.
The contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu in Youzhou has also further intensified, especially on the issue of treating foreign races, Liu Yu has always pursued an affinity policy, while Gongsun Chan is killing, accumulating over time, and the contradiction is getting deeper and deeper.
Under Yuan Shao's intentional provocation, the two tore a layer of Zuihou's face and faced each other with knives and guns.
At the same time, Cao Cao's actions in Dongjun also shocked the world, first defeated the Yellow Turban Army around Dongjun, incorporated into his command, practiced day and night, and obtained more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
Liu Dai was invited by Qingzhou Mu, Liu Dai led the troops to go, and did not want to be defeated by Guo Da led the elite of the Yellow Turban Headquarters, and he himself was also beheaded by the Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers under his command fled back to Yanzhou in embarrassment.
Liu Dai himself has become a high-ranking official who has been killed since the Yellow Turban Uprising.
After Liu Dai's death, under the repeated encouragement of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Cao Cao led 20,000 soldiers and horses into Yanzhou, and the Han Emperor became the pastor of Yanzhou, and then, Cao Cao pacified the people's livelihood, and with the support of a strong army, Yanzhou was pacified in a short period of time. The gratitude to Cao Cao in my heart can be imagined.
After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao had the capital and began to show the means of heroism, recruiting troops and horses, intending to completely defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Chaos, Qingzhou and other places, which coincided with Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Guo Da led the White Wave Army to run rampant in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, where he passed, the people's livelihood withered, corpses were everywhere, and those who heard were sad and those who saw wept.
After Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao sent a messenger to congratulate him, the strength of his former friend was a powerful foreign aid in his opinion, the Western Liang army in Liangzhou was too strong, if the two joined forces, the Western Liang army would not be so terrible.
Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers to break the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the invincible Guo Da suffered an unprecedented devastating blow to Cao Cao, so he had to lead the soldiers to avoid the edge temporarily.
After defeating the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao did not chase and kill all like the officials of other counties, but used the power of the army to integrate the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban is the people, among them there are many brave and good fighters, in the tempering of blood and fire, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban soldiers is stronger than the average county soldiers, a little training, can be put into the battlefield, and Cao Cao strictly ordered his soldiers not to discriminate against the Yellow Turban Army, and won the hearts of many Yellow Turban soldiers.
The strong expansion of the territory of the Xiliang army made Cao Cao feel unprecedented panic, not fighting with Jia Rong, you can never imagine how many good cards he has in his hand, the stirrup horseshoe of the cavalry can be described as a cross-era innovation, Cao Cao's cavalry is all equipped, and the scimitar of the blood guard has also been put into production after Shiyan, but the Central Plains lacks war horses, and a cavalry is equipped enough to support five infantrymen, not as rich as Jia Rong, with the support of the Cao family's strong financial resources, he barely gathered a thousand cavalry, In the Central Plains, it is already a great shili.
Yuan Shao took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to Qingzhou, intending to get a piece of the pie, and Yuan Shao's strength gained the upper hand, holding most of Qingzhou's territory in his hands.
At this point, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and sent officials to govern, and the court in Chang'an also turned a blind eye to this, and the Taishou Prefecture Muhan Chambers in various places had lost actual control.
Gongsun Chan gathered 20,000 of his subordinates to fight Liu Yu, broke Liu Yu, and occupied the land of Youzhou, Youzhou lost its sixth, Liu Yu's Cao Rafter Wei Yu helped Gongsun Chan a lot during this period, and became Gongsun Zhan's right-hand man, helping Liu Yu to quell the rebellion in various parts of Youzhou.
Youzhou is established, Gongsun Zan is also recruiting troops and horses, preparing money and food, Youzhou and Jizhou are close, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao will have any radical moves.
After carefully reading the information one by one, Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh, the rise momentum of the Central Plains princes is too violent, compared to the Xiliang army, I don't know how much stronger, the border county is always the border county, there is an immortal love pavilion to support, and it can only ensure that the people of Li under the rule can live a life of just enough food and clothing, if all the counties are as prosperous as Jincheng, I am afraid that Jia Rong would have expanded his army to 100,000 a long time ago.
Liangzhou was a barren land with a lack of resources, and merchants came here to trade without much benefit.
To put it bluntly, the Han is the world of the family, composed of a family, Jia Rong's governance strategy and the interests of the family are completely conflicting, and there is little possibility of cooperation between the two, but Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others have no obstacles in this regard, they themselves are from a family, and they are easily recognized by the family.
With a long sigh, Jia Rong got up and left, the three counties of Dunhuang Zhangye and Jiuquan were already under the control of the Xiliang Army, and the ten counties of Liangzhou were all in the hands of Jia Rong, and I believe that after some governance by officials, they will gradually get rid of the current predicament.
Compared to the nine counties of Jingxiang, the ten counties of Liangzhou sound so spectacular, but in fact, no matter how hard Jia Rong tries, Liangzhou is always a bitter cold place, and in the next three years, there will not be a large county in the Central Plains like Jincheng that exceeds the ordinary, and the rise of Jincheng relies on Xianlian Pavilion, unless Jia Rong can create an existence comparable to Xianlian Pavilion to drive the economic development of each county.
Like Beidi County, in addition to the advantage of strong folk customs, it can be said that it is destitute, if the battle starts, they can not hold back, Jia Rong is already daxiao.
The agriculture of the Hexi Corridor has opened the eyes of Jia Rong, who is accustomed to seeing the barrenness of Liangzhou, the scenery is pleasant, the cattle and sheep are herds, it is a rare treasure, it can be said that the most important thing in Liangzhou is the Hexi Corridor, which will not only become an important base for grain, but also become the war horse base of the Western Liang Army.
Standing on a high place, overlooking this land, it is believed that the Hexi Corridor will rise rapidly.
At present, the premise is to completely settle down the aliens, there are not only Di and Qiang people but also Huns, who have lived in the Han realm for a long time and adapted them to life here.
Zhang Liaobu's combat effectiveness is undoubted, and under the deterrence of powerful force, everywhere he passes, there are voices of surrender.
Jia Rong summoned the patriarchs of the different tribes, and in the face of interests, the patriarchs chose to surrender, and the Han guards in Jiuquan and other three places completely rejected the aliens, in their words, it was the Heavenly Empire, how could it accommodate Rong Di.
Zhang Liao's army was left in Yumen Pass by Jia Rong, the beautiful name is to guard the frontier, in fact, it is to take care of Jia Rong's horse farm, when Zhang Liao saw the establishment of the Hexi horse farm, there will be no complaints, and the state and Liangzhou belong to the same frontier area, the soldiers are mostly cavalry, the Xiliang army has its own horse farm, you can imagine the near future, tens of thousands of cavalry galloping when the spectacular scene.
Dunhuang fell, Zhang Li sent officials to govern, and today's Xiliang military group is not comparable to the past, official scheduling, are in accordance with the procedure, no matter how outstanding your ability is, you have to start from the grassroots level, most of the talented people were appointed by Zhang Li as a county order, with political achievements as the capital of its promotion.
Jia Rong was not in Chang'an, and the minds of the officials of the DPRK and China were alive again, and the actions of Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao, the new people, made the officials of the DPRK and China happy and full of worry at the same time.
The good thing is that these princes are all from the family, and Jia Rong has a conflict of interests, if these princes gather together again to crusade against Jia Rong in Chang'an, then the big thing can be decided.
No matter how high the combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Army is, in the past, it was able to resist the Kwantung princes, most of them relied on the Dong Army, and the Western Liang Army was not monolithic, there were the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army, and there were soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, as long as they promised enough benefits, the officials in the court believed that these generals had the possibility of defecting, otherwise why did Jia Rong send Zhang Liao to Yumen Pass, what to guard the border pass, it was just clever words.
The worry is that among these princes, will there be anyone who really wants to revitalize the Han family, Chang'an's bloodbath again and again has made the officials see the tough methods of the people in Chang'an City, how can the pen be compared to the gun.
"Cao Cao!" During the period when Jia Rong was gone, the Han Dynasty spread the deeds of this person all over the world, and the speed of his rise was astonishing but it was natural, and many officials who had old ties with the Cao family in the past secretly sent people to contact.
After Jia Rong pacified Dunhuang, the Han Emperor could not sit still, and repeatedly summoned the ministers of the court in private, often discussing until midnight.
However, recently, Chang'an has strangely calmed down, and the officials in the DPRK seem to have forgotten the heavy responsibility of the Zhongxing Han, and they have not talked about political affairs in the DPRK, and they have not gone out when they return home.
Jia Xu looked at the information in his hand, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, what can he do if he infringes on the interests of the family, and how can the Xiliang Army be shaken by these rotten Confucians in the court, and the princes cannot gather like the eighteenth princes of the year, Jia Rong's control of military power is definitely the most solid, even if the generals of the Bingzhou Army have the intention to rebel, the soldiers at the bottom may not agree, after spending a lot of effort and funds, many of the families of the generals and soldiers of the original Bingzhou Army were taken to Jincheng or Chang'an.
Since Jia Rong left Chang'an, these families have been dishonest, and they are doing things that they dare not let the Xiliang Army know about behind their backs, like the people in the city making trouble, there was no shadow of the family that time, but these small fights, Jia Xu didn't want the world to see how brutal the Xiliang Army was.
