A five-day siege, Cao Jun paid the price of more than 10,000 people, still did not capture Pengcheng, Cao Cao's did not have the previous cloud light breeze, in his opinion, Pengcheng is just full of grain and grass, more soldiers, and Tao Qian is just an old Mai Pifu, a little effort, why not be able to capture, but Liu Bei's arrival, changed the face of the Xuzhou army, Guan Yu Zhang Fei has the courage of ten thousand people, greatly improved the morale of the defenders.

Jia Rong looked at the information from Xuzhou and said with a smile: "Cao Cao wants to gnaw Xuzhou, and the price he has to pay is not small." ”

In the room, Guo Jiajia and Zhang Zhao Haoran were in the column, and the wine was placed in front of them, which was doubly beautiful against the backdrop of the moonlight glass.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said: "Cao Cao is resourceful, there are Xun Yu and other people who plan the country in his hands, and it is only a matter of time before Pengcheng is broken." ”

"Fengxiao, what if Cao Cao's backyard catches fire?" Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's hard to say." A gleam flashed in Guo Jia's eyes.

"Uncle Dong Guo has been active recently, and he has won over the families in Yanzhou City many times, and many officials are also moving closer to them, I'm afraid there will be a big change in the near future, just need Yanzhou's Xianlian Pavilion to add a little fuel to the fire, hehe." Jia Xu laughed.

Cao Cao's progress in Xuzhou can not be too rapid, the Central Plains princes fought repeatedly, so that Jia Rong saw the army under the strong heritage of the Central Plains, their speed of development, so that Jia Rong was a little surprised, in the Han has the help of the family, can be called like a tiger with wings, take Cao Cao as an example, before it was just a small Dongjun Taishou, after entering Yanzhou, with the help of the family, pulled out a team of 50,000 people, defeated the Yellow Turban, annexed the Yellow Turban Shili, at this time the strength is probably not less than 150,000, The troops in the hands of Yuan Shao in Jizhou have more than 200,000, and the troops in the hands of Liu Biao in Jingzhou are conservatively estimated to be more than 100,000.

The Xiliang Army is currently in the stage of recuperation, Jia Rong believes that it will only take three years, after Liangzhou and the city on the grassland grows up, the Xiliang Army will definitely be able to take the opportunity to sweep the world, and now Jia Rong needs time, try not to let the princes of the Central Plains become bigger, like this time, support Tao Qian's weapons and armor, to a certain extent, it can affect the outcome of the battlefield, even if there is no Xiliang Army to help from it, Cao Jun will not be able to defeat Xuzhou, of course, let Cao Cao panic, that feels good.

"Lord, it's time for our army to move, Youzhou is a big piece of fat." Guo Jia had an excited look on his face.

"That's right, a soldier who only trains and doesn't fight on the battlefield will only become a veteran soldier." Jia Rong said.

"Eh, lord, what is a veteran soldier?" Guo Jia asked.

Jia Rong had already developed a good face under such questions, and explained with an unchanged face: "The old soldier is a soldier who is strong on the training ground and has weak legs as soon as he enters the battlefield. ”

Zhang Zhao also has no opinion on the expansion of the territory of the Xiliang Army, and it is time for the Xiliang Army, which has been silent for a long time, to show its fangs, and move it at the appropriate time to play a deterrent role.

"At this time, there is Yan Rou's army and Yuan's army in Youzhou, and I want to send an army to take the Dai County bordering Bingzhou." Jia Rong pointed to the huge map behind him and said.

This map was drawn by Xianlian Pavilion with a lot of manpower and material resources, and it was very detailed, a small river, and an unknown mountain range could be shown on the map.

"Daijun, which general does the lord want to send?" Jia Xu said.

There are indeed a few generals in the Xiliang army who can take charge alone, before Guo Yan led the army to annex Bingzhou, and the men and horses under his command were also stationed in Bingzhou, Guo Yan can be regarded as a talent, in addition, it seems that there are only fierce generals in the Xiliang army, and there is no general who is in charge alone.

"What do you think of Huang Zhong?" Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said slowly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Xu found this general named Huang Zhong from his memory, who had no reputation in the Xiliang Army, as if he was a general who Jia Rong had transferred from Jingzhou, and now served as a battalion general.

"Since you have no opinion, it is Huang Zhong, who commanded 10,000 men and horses and went to Daijun, and Zhao Yun led 3,000 men and horses as the vanguard." Jia Rong saw that everyone was silent, and directly made a final decision.

Zhao Yun is a pioneer, and it seems that Jia Rong attaches great importance to Huang Zhong.

The two important strategists of the Xiliang Army in the room captured this information from Jia Rong's mouth.

"Fengxiao, appoint you as a military advisor with the army."

Guo Jia put away the uninhibited look on his face and arched his hand: "No! ”

It was decided to support the army on Daijun, and the entire Xiliang Army was running rapidly, and all supplies such as grain and grass were quickly in place.

Jia Rong came to the school field in the city, there are 50,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army stationed in Chang'an City, it is the standing army of the Xiliang Army, training inside and outside the city all day long, Jia Rong personally simulated a lot of battlefield conditions for them, and assigned two groups of soldiers to be led by the general to charge and kill, although a small number of soldiers have not been on the battlefield, the combat experience is very rich, and a little training can become elite soldiers.

Walking to the training camp where Huang Zhong was, seeing the soldiers' training was impressive, I have to say that Huang Zhong adapted to the system of the Xiliang Army very quickly, Jia Rong stopped by the side, and saw that Huang Zhong not only handed over the martial arts to his subordinates, but also explained it into three points, which was easy to understand, at this time Huang Zhong was training the soldiers' battle formation.

"General!" Huang Zhong hugged his fists, and Jia Rong would come at ordinary times, but this time he didn't leave for a long time.

"Hansheng trains his soldiers well, I wonder what will happen to these soldiers on the battlefield?" Jia Rong said with a smile.

Huang Zhong's face was stunned, and he immediately said: "General, although these soldiers are all new soldiers, in the drills outside the city, they have the strength not inferior to the veterans, and they only need to go through the battlefield to become elite soldiers." ”

Jia Rong patted Huang Zhong's shoulder cordially and said, "Han Sheng's words have won my heart!" ”

Jia Rong was in front and Huang Zhong was behind, and walked towards the place where the military was discussed in the school grounds.

There are more than 20 generals in the house, all of whom are at the level of regimental generals, and only Huang Zhong is a battalion general.

Jia Rong was at the top, and standing on the left and right was Zhao Yun, the leader of the blood guard, standing with a sword, and his appearance was not bad.

Most of the generals in the room knew Huang Zhong, and when they saw him appear here, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"General Huang, why are you here?" Yan Xing asked puzzled.

Huang Zhong's face turned slightly red, he glanced at Jia Rong, who was calm and calm, and explained, "It was the general who brought me here. ”

The generals were relieved and stopped talking, and the smarter generals saw an extraordinary taste from Jia Rong's actions.

Glancing at the generals in the light room, Jia Rong cleared his throat, and everyone understood, hurriedly stopped the discussion, and looked in the direction of Jia Rong.

"Youzhou Gongsun Zan Su has a good relationship with me, I don't want to be killed by Yan Rou and others who rebelled in the territory, I think of the kindness of the past, I can't bear to fall into war in Youzhou, and I am also in the position of a general, and I want to send troops to Youzhou."

In the Xiliang Army, if you want to get a high-ranking position, the military general needs to constantly rush to the battlefield and obtain meritorious service, and the civilian official needs to govern the place, there is a haode political achievement, relatively speaking, the risk of the military general is still relatively large, once you are not careful, you may die on the battlefield, and the high risk is accompanied by a good opportunity, as long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about not being famous in the army, the Xiliang Army has been repeatedly expanded, and there are so many generals in the army who are strong in martial arts.

"This time I went to Youzhou and sent 10,000 troops." Jia Rong locked his eyes on Huang Zhong, "The commander is Huang Zhong!" ”

Huang Zhong stood in place in a daze, he was just a battalion general, and he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the usual high-level meetings, but now he actually commanded 10,000 soldiers to go to the battlefield, and there were too many seniors in the Xiliang Army who were higher than him, and he didn't hear any rumors in advance.

It wasn't until Yan Xing next to him stabbed him that Huang Zhong reacted, knelt down on one knee, and bowed excitedly: "The humble post will definitely complete the task assigned by the general, and I will never give up!" ”

Jia Rong nodded, "The 10,000 army will start on a certain day, and Zhao Yun will command 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and build bridges in the mountains and rivers." ”

Zhao Yun's delicate face was instantly flushed, and he walked quickly to Huang Zhong's side, and also knelt down on one knee and bowed: "No! ”

The two generals who fought in Youzhou were beyond the expectations of all the generals, Huang Zhong was a battalion general, and Zhao Yun had always been the commander of the blood guard, and suddenly became the general of the fighting side, and everyone looked at the two of them with envy, especially Huang Zhong, but from a battalion general, he became a division general, which was unprecedented in the Xiliang Army.

As expected, if it goes well this time, Zhao Yun will also step down from the position of commander of the blood guard and become a senior general in the Xiliang army, commanding the army.

In the face of everyone's congratulations, Huang Zhong returned the salute one by one, and then followed Jia Rong, who left, and a high-level military meeting became Jia Rong's announcement of the order.

"General, humble duty," Huang Zhong said.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Hansheng, what is needed in the Xiliang army is talented people, everyone has a chance, if you can't grasp it well, it will only be unnoticed, the marching military division is Fengxiao, what is the problem, just discuss it with him, the premise is to prepare fine wine, preferably haode wine." ”

Looking at Jia Rong, who was leaving, Huang Zhonghu had tears in his eyes and said secretly: "General, you must do your best!" ”

Huang Zhong is a battalion general level figure in the army, the salary has increased, and the life of the family has become a lot richer, compared to Jingzhou, it is more than geometric, he can't forget that all this is given by the high-ranking figure of the Xiliang Army, and now Huang Xu's condition has completely improved, joined the Xiliang Army, and the smile on his wife's face has also increased, so that Huang Zhong is grateful at the same time, he works harder in the army, he also knows his age, but his own skills, he asks himself that few people in the army can match.

Bought a bottle of haode wine, Huang Zhong's face trembled slightly, a bottle of wine, or the people of Xianlian Pavilion knew him and gave the lowest price, five thousand yuan.

"Strategist, this is the latest wine in Chang'an." Huang Zhong appeared at Guo Jia's residence with a smile on his face.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, then understood, and said with a wicked smile: "General Huang, the price of this wine is very expensive, even I can't drink it often, otherwise I will have to borrow money from the lord." ”
