Unlike the Central Plains interior, where there are hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of soldiers, in the Western Regions, some countries may only have a few hundred soldiers.

"That Yunmeng girl?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"My lord, I have one more thing to ask for when I come back this time." Speaking of Yun Meng, Liu Si immediately put down the wine cup in his hand.

"Say, as long as it's not too out of line." Seeing his old subordinates for a long time, Jia Rong also felt some joy in his heart.

"Yunmeng girl, she once saved her life when she was in the Western Regions, so" Liu Si, who has always been articulate, mentioned that Yunmeng was also a little hesitant.

"Huh? Did she save you? Zhang Xiu asked on the side. When Liu Si was in the Western Regions, Yun Meng sacrificed his life to save him one by one.

Jia Rong understood what Liu Si meant, nodded and said: "As long as the two are happy, there is nothing to do, I think I will pick a day to do the happy event, and then let the Liangwang Mansion distribute a house to you in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Miss Yun will stay in Chang'an." ”

After Liu Si and Yun Meng got married, it must be easier for the two to cooperate, and it is also difficult for the Yun family to obtain some privileges from Xiliangjun through their daughter's channel, Liu Si deeply understands some of the rules of Xiliangjun, and will definitely not do anything that violates the law and discipline, and leaves Yunmeng in Chang'an because Jia Rong realizes that Yunmeng is not as simple as it seems, and it is enough to hand over the affairs of the Western Regions to Liu Si alone.

"Thank you, Lord." Liu Si's face was flushed, he had been in the business for so many years, from an unknown little leader of the Yellow Turban to the present, only he knew the hardships he had experienced, and he didn't expect to have a family.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, in the future, you will report the situation in the Western Regions to the military advisor and Master Zhang, and we will continue to drink."

After the capture of Luoyang, Jia Rong transferred some of the industries of the Xiliang Army to Luoyang, where there were Zhao Yun's 40,000 troops guarded, even if Cao Cao had 100,000 soldiers and horses, it was difficult to bargain, the geographical location of Luoyang was very important, after the creation of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, it was not a short-term development of Chang'an can be compared, closer to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is also much more convenient to do business.

The cement roads were built by slaves, and it must take less than half a year to completely open up the area between Luoyang and Chang'an, and the transportation of materials will become easier and faster.

Slaves are also a major feature of the Xiliang Army, there will be prisoners when there is a war, and the enemies captured by the Xiliang Army, unless they have the ability to be selected by the generals responsible for the selection of the army, the other captives have to go through a period of labor to regain their freedom, and they have become slaves, and the cement roads under the rule, and even sometimes used to build houses and strengthen the city are slaves, a slave, if you want to restore your free body, you only need to go through two years of labor, as long as the performance is decent, you can get a sum of money.

Not only the Xiliang army used cement roads, but the princes of the Central Plains also began to build after hearing the businessmen's report on the cement roads near Chang'an.

To Jia Rong's expectation, the envoy of the Cao army and the envoy of Yuan Shaojun came to Chang'an, unlike the envoy of the Cao army, the envoy of Jizhou strengthened the relationship with the Xiliang army, after all, the previous cooperation between the two sides made Cao Cao suffer a big loss, and it can be said that he is an out-and-out ally, and Yuan Shao also has every reason to believe that Jia Rong will not offend him and Cao Cao at the same time, after all, these two princes are united, even if the Xiliang army wants to go to war, it must be weighed.

After the battle of Luoyang, Cao Cao did not have too blind self-confidence, mainly because the recovery speed of the Xiliang army was too alarming, and the consumption of a battle was incomparably huge for a prince, especially under the siege of the city, but the Xiliang army was able to gather materials in a short time.

"King Liang, Duke Wei sent Xun here for the alliance between the two armies." Xun You stood at the bottom and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, it is this temperament, not the envoy of Jizhou can compare, Xun You is worthy of Wang Zuozhicai, and he is also a little envious of Cao Cao's good luck in his heart, he can get Xun Yu Xun Yu and other strategists, and most of the talents under him are from the school of the Xiliang Army, compared with these talents, there must be a gap, but this gap, under the tempering of time, will become smaller and smaller, there is a saying in later generations, how to say that the country is strong when the youth is strong, and most of the officials under the rule of the Xiliang Army are young people, Perhaps they were inexperienced at the beginning, but they did not lack enterprising spirit, and without the constraints of other princes, their abilities would be further expanded.

"Bold, when I saw King Liang, I didn't even salute, someone came, and pulled him out and beheaded him." One of the guards shouted.

Xun You said without changing his face: "Duke Wei and King Liang are both Han courtiers, and in terms of strength, our army is no less than the Western Liang Army, so why do you have any reason to worship them." ”

Jia Rong waved his hand to signal the guards to go down, looked at Xun You and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Lord Xun for a long time, and when I saw it today, it is really a dragon and phoenix among people, Meng De can have a person like you to help him, and it will be easier to achieve great things, I don't know why Meng De is willing to let you go to Chang'an, isn't he afraid that this king will detain you in the city and let him lose an arm." ”

Xun You said indifferently: "Xun believes that King Liang will not do this, the two countries are at war, and they will not kill them, not to mention that Xun is just an unknown person under the command of Duke Wei, how can it be worth King Liang to do this." Xun You's own talent is undoubted, but it is not allowed to be reused under Cao Cao, mainly because this person is bent on reviving the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao treated the Han Emperor with a lot of resistance, and there were a lot of discord between the monarchs and ministers.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Why should Lord Xun be arrogant, even in the Xiliang Army, there are very few people who can compare with Mr. Xun's talent. He naturally knew some of Xun You's situation under Cao Cao, and also gave birth to the idea of pulling Xun You under his command, and being able to get the help of such a strategist not only weakened Cao Jun's strength, but also made the two sentences like a tiger with wings.

"King Liang's heart, Xun Mou's heart has understood, and this time I came here to discuss the alliance between the two armies." Xun You rejected Jia Rong's kindness, but his heart was slightly shaken, but after thinking of Jia Rong's behavior, his heart became more firm, if Cao Cao was a little disobedient to the Han Emperor, then Jia Rong was an out-and-out rebel in his eyes.

Jia Rong was very strange, that day under the city of Luoyang, Cao Cao said that he swore that he would find a place on the body of the Xiliang army, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, a messenger came to Chang'an, and it was for the sake of forming an alliance, could it be that Cao Cao wanted to lower the vigilance of the Xiliang army and make a sneak attack on Luoyang.

Shaking his head slightly, he denied the idea in his heart, Cao Ju categorically would not take the initiative to start a war against the Xiliang army, and there were princes such as Liu Biao and Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, before they were pacified, the war with the Xiliang army would only drag on, and the loss of Luoyang made Cao Cao's Jihua a little chaotic, the original intention was to take Qingzhou into the palm of his hand first, and then gradually devour Yuan Shao's shili and develop slowly.

As everyone knows, Jia Rong is now the most fearless is the battle, there is no grain and grass in the warehouse, but there are countless merchants under his rule, as long as Cao Cao dares to raise troops to attack, Jia Rong will collect money and grain from all the people and merchants in the name of defending his homeland, and the development to the present, the Xiliang army is at war, it is no longer as easy as simply fighting with the enemy's soldiers, but the other party's soldiers are enemies with all the people, merchants and armies under the rule of the Xiliang army.

"I will discuss this matter with my courtiers, Lord Xun will live in the city for the time being, experience the life of Chang'an, it is best to buy something to go back, so that your courtiers in Yanzhou can also see the moonlight cup and other things in Chang'an." Jia Rong has some pride in his tone, the things sold in Chang'an City are very popular in Dahan, mainly because of its high quality and low price, and after the merchant has changed hands several times, the price will naturally rise, so some rich people would rather spend more money and come to Chang'an in person, not only can they experience the customs of Chang'an, but also buy Shanghaode items.

"Thank you King Liang for your kindness." Xun Yu arched his hand.

Unlike Xun You, Yuan Shaojun's envoy reviewed and saw that Jia Rong was calling him a humble position, and the two parties were now allies, Yuan Shao naturally didn't want to affect the two families because of some unpleasant actions of the envoys, and when he was leaving, he also told him in every possible way.

The trial is under Yuan Shao's account, that is also a great character, the trial has been sent to the Xiliang army before, and Jia Rong also showed a lot of appreciation between his words, but the trial is a person from the beginning to the end, and he doesn't care much about Jia Rong.

"Humble to meet King Liang." Although he was very disdainful of this practice in his heart, he thought of the entrustment of the lord when he was leaving, and he had to suppress his dissatisfaction in the bottom of his heart.

"Master Judge, get up, don't go for a few years, your demeanor is still the same." Jia Rong said with a smile.

"It's not as good as King Liang, there are male soldiers in his hands, the people under his rule are solid, and now he has a new land of the sun." Judge the archway.

"Jizhou has also harvested a lot this year, the harvest in the field is very good, you go back and ask, when will the money owed to me by your lord be repaid, and it can't be delayed again and again." Jia Rong said: "There are so many people waiting to eat under this king's hand, if anyone wants weapons on credit, how can they do business." ”

The judge's face changed and changed, and he arched his hand and said: "King Liang, although the wind and rain in Jizhou are smooth this year, the harvest of the people under his rule is not very good, and in order to support King Liang, he fought against the Cao army in Qingzhou, and lost a lot of grain and grass materials, so he can't pay it off, and he asks King Liang to give some time for a while." ”
