Chapter 164 Jincheng Taishou
Some officials even associate some anti-thieves of the Han Dynasty with Jia Rong. Naturally, the reason is Jia Rong's theory of water boat. It can be said that Jia Rong's name is filtered in the ears of the Han Emperor several times every day, but these news are unfavorable to Jia Rong.
The most trusted person of the Han Emperor was always Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. After coming down from the court, he naturally had to ask about their reward for Jia Rong. In particular, Zhang Rang's remarks in the court today made the Han Emperor awaken, thus giving more trust in the eunuchs.
Zhang Rangbai said, "Your Majesty, the good news came from Changsha today, and the emperor immediately named him the governor of Changsha." After saying that, Zhang Rang stood aside quietly. With his understanding of the Emperor of Han, as long as he dialed a little, the Emperor of Han would definitely understand what to do.
As expected, Emperor Han patted his head and said, "If it weren't for my father, I would have almost missed the big deal."
"Is it just Jia Rong credible?" The Emperor of Han asked.
Zhang Rangbai said, "The emperor can test Jia Rong. The Han treasury is empty, and the family has food and fodder without support. This can test Jia Rong's loyalty."
"How to say this?" The Emperor of Han asked eagerly.
Zhang Rang said, "Your Majesty can issue the imperial edict, saying that the treasury is empty and let Jia Rong prepare some food and fodder. At that time, he will see whether Jia Rong is loyal or not. It is expected that Jia Rongjun's food and fod at this time is not much, which is the time to test him."
Emperor Han frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "In my father's opinion, how should Jia Rong's official position be rewarded?"
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Does the emperor want the border to make a beacon again or to settle down?"
"Of course I want to settle down." After saying that, Emperor Han no longer asked questions.
The next day, on the court, the Emperor of Han issued a decree to "priorty Jia Rong as the governor of Jincheng and govern Jincheng County!"
Even if Jia Rong is the minister of tigers and wolves, Han Sui is a real rebel. It is also a good choice to leave Jia Rong to resist Han Sui's rebels in Jincheng. What's more, the barrenness of Jincheng County is known in all dynasties. Not only can they not get any taxes every year, but they have to pay a pen and hand over such a city to Jia Rong. Management is nothing.
In fact, Yuan Kui also regretted what he said in the court afterwards. As long as the news of asking for food and fodder came from Jincheng, Yuan Kui would not agree again. Why did he do it so obviously? At least he was also a Taifu and a prominent position. What did he do with a small general? Wouldn't this indirectly elevate Jia Rong's identity?
The news reached Jincheng County, and the generals of the Xiliang Army were boiling again. Previously, Jia Rong was demoted. They followed Jia Rong. Of course, the position would be reduced. Now Jia Rong has become a Taishou again. Naturally, one person has been promoted.
Under the response of the defenders in the city, Ulan Miwei quickly occupied the two counties of Chengji and Ayang. The three counties are each other. One side is in trouble, and the two sides support each other. Jiang Yu's Pingxiang is not only the most morale, but also the most powerful. A few days ago, when Jia Rong left, he left Li Shun's trap camp stationed in Pingxiang, which was just cheap. Jiang Yu.
Contrary to Jia Rong's Xiliang army's joy, Han Sui has turned over the table in the tent for the eighth time, constantly scolding "Jia Rong's child, shameless you" and so on. The more you think about Han Sui, the more angry he is. It's just a wish to capture Hanyang County, while Jincheng County is Han Sui's base camp. Han Sui would rather not want Hanyang than Without Jincheng, what's more, Yan Xing, the general under his command, was also captured by Jia Rongsheng.
What's more hateful is that the two counties of Chengji and Ayang were also easily taken down by Jia Rongjun. Now Han Sui only has four counties of Wangyuan, Lueyang Xianlong County, and the power has suddenly shrunk more than half, and Ji County, the governance of Hanyang County, has not yet been broken.
The reason why Han Sui got the news that he still confronts Dong Zhuo in Longguan is that Han Sui wants to get Hanyang County. Now the back road is completely cut off. Han Sui doesn't have to take Hanyang. Jia Rong has the help of Li Wenhou. The military is prosperous, which is not what he can resist, and Dong Zhuo of Longguan can't be captured by himself. The greatest hope is that the coalition can quickly capture Ji County.
Knowing that the two counties of Chengji and Ayang were broken because of the echo of the defenders in the city, Han Sui transferred all the Qiang people belonging to Li Wenhou in the remaining four counties to his side, but Han Sui's action was still a step slower, and the Qiang people in the four counties had already defected to Ulan in Ayang.
At this time, Han Sui did not pay so much attention to it. He regarded the 10,000 Qiang soldiers sent to him by Li Wenhou as the first force to attack Ji County, the county seat of Hanyang County. The morale of the coalition army reached the lowest. Li Wenhou's rebellion and the loss of Jincheng County was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. The results of the coalition' efforts for many months, in an instant It is turned into nothing.
These 10,000 Qiang soldiers are even more miserable. Now, they also want to escape from Han Sui and return to Jincheng. After the previous incident, Han Sui's guard has been strengthened a lot. As long as the fleeing soldier is found to be killed immediately, and the back road of the soldiers in Ling Qiang is blocked, so they have to follow Han Sui wholeheartedly.
Dong Zhuo of Longguan also quickly got the news that Jia Rong occupied Jincheng County and gave a happy laugh. It was the first time to see Han Sui suffer such a big loss. To be honest, in addition to happiness, Dong Zhuo's face darkened. Why Jia Rong could take back Jincheng County effortlessly is worth pondering.
Li Ru said, "Master, now Jia Rong has occupied Jincheng County and has the strength to fight against the Hanting. Even if the officials of the court are in a dilemma, they are not good at it." After saying this, Li Ru felt very unwilling. If Dong Zhuojun occupied Jincheng County, his strength would definitely be greatly improved.
Dong Zhuo has been famous in Xiliang for a long time. Longxi County is the place where he rose. In Longxi, Dong Zhuo has unimaginable prestige. In name, Dong Zhuo is still the governor of Hedong. However, after years of war in the border, Dong Zhuo has no time to return to Hedong County. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's nest is in Longxi.
In fact, Hedong County is still very good. At least it is very close to Luyang. As long as there is any change in Luyang, the accelerated march can be reached in just a few days. In addition, the ancients thought that the closer the capital was good, but they didn't know that the emperor was far away.
Dong Zhuo said, "In Jincheng County occupied by Jia Rong, Han Sui's child will withdraw soon. Let Guo Yanhuaxiong come back." The words were very dissatisfied with Hua Xiong and Guo Yan. Jia Rong captured Jincheng County so quickly that there was no news from the generals in the two armies.
Li Ru nodded and agreed with Dong Zhuo's statement.
"Wenyou, do you think Jia Rong is still the Zhiyuan we knew at the beginning? Why can't I see through him more and more? Dong Zhuo said the doubts in his heart.
"Jia Rong acted in an eclectic manner. It can be seen from what he did in Beidi County a few days ago, and he was also a master who did not pay attention to the Han Dynasty. His remarks in Luoyang shocked the world. Emperor Han appointed him as a lieutenant of Qiang this time and guarded Pingxiang, but in fact he wanted to I wanted to eradicate Jia Rong, but I didn't expect that Jia Rong took the opportunity to recover Jincheng. The world is unpredictable.
Li Ru continued: "However, if Jia Rong can quickly take back the Jincheng occupied by the rebels, the key is that there must be 20,000 Qiang soldiers outside Pingxiang City. If his subordinates are right, it must have persuaded the Qiang people, and then use the Qiang people to counterattack Jincheng in one fell swoop."
Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "It's just how can the Qiang people trust Jia Rong? This time, the Qiang people killed Captain Hu Qiang, and there is no way out. Will you listen to Jia Rong's words?" Although Dong Zhuo is a general, he still has a strategy. If you can't see such a basic thing, you don't have to fool around anymore.
Li Ru smiled and said, "Does the lord forget that there are a lot of Qiang soldiers in Jia Rong's army? At the beginning, the lord fought with the Qiang people, and Jia Rong took the opportunity to collect a lot of Qiang people."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "It's true. But what does this matter have to do with Li Wenhou's 20,000 horses? You should know that the Qiang people are composed of many tribes, and it is difficult for Li Wenhou alone to convince the public, let alone let 20,000 horses return."
Li Ru said without thinking, "Does the lord know that there is a rule in Jia Rongjun?"
"What?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"In Jia Rong's army, both Qiang soldiers and Han soldiers are equal, and even the military pay is the same. Even the generals in the army have many Qiang people. It is very easy for Jia Rong to be emotional to Li Wenhou Xiaozhi outside the city, and it is very easy to gain the trust of Li Wenhou." Li Ru knows a lot about some things in Jia Rongjun, especially some regulations in Jia Rongjun.
Dong Zhuo sighed, "In this way, Jia Rong's strength will be greatly improved, and I'm not as good as it!"
Li Su next to him stood up and said, "Jia Rong has the appearance of a wolf. He should have taken his military power at the beginning, and this time he should not send troops to help him. Jia Rong is cunning. I don't know if General Hua and General Guo will come back this time. The lord should have made an early plan."Li Ru said lightly: "It seems useless for the lord to rescue Jia Rongjun, but in fact he has a life-saving kindness to Jia Rong. In the future, the lord will be called for something, and it is expected that Jia Rong will not refuse."
Dong Zhuo directly filtered Li Su. What Li Ru said was his bottom. His purpose was to make Jia Rong remember his kindness.
Li Su and Li Ru are known as the second Li under Dong Zhuo's account, but Li Su's position in Dong Zhuo's heart is far less than Li Ru. Li Su said that he is a disciple of Dong Zhuo, and he is a servant who is unpleasant. Moreover, Li Su has a heartfelt fear of Li Ru, especially Li Ru's tricks. Li Su has witnessed Li Ru with his own eyes. Without a sound, one obstacle after another on Dong Zhuo's way forward was killed, and those means made people shudder.
Dong Zhuo asked, "Now that Jia Rong has captured Jincheng County, should our army attack Han Sui or not move?" Jia Rong has made a great achievement. Dong Zhuo took this good opportunity to eliminate Han Sui in one fell swoop, which must be a great achievement. In his heart, Dong Zhuo still regards himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he still wanted to assist the emperor. However, he saw that the emperor at that time was a little cowardly and wanted to choose another wise king and try to think of a bad-hearted power. Minister, do you still want to make the emperor shrewd? The 400-year-old majesty of the Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
