Chapter 386 The rise of princes
Bai Bo's army took advantage of the situation to collect homeless displaced people. Wherever the army went, the officers and soldiers fled looking at the wind. Gradually, Bo Cai gathered about 200,000 soldiers under his command. Although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not very good, it is important because there are many people. If there are more than 10,000 people, it is boundless. 200,000 people can't help retreating. But.
The contradiction between Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu has also further intensified, especially in dealing with foreign issues. Liu Yu has been pursuing the affinity policy, while Gongsun Zan is killing, accumulating over time, and the contradictions are getting deeper and deeper.
Under Yuan Shao's intention to provoke, the two tore the last layer of skin, knives and guns facing each other.
At the same time, Cao Cao's actions in Dongjun also shocked the world. First, he defeated the yellow scarf army around Dongjun and was incorporated into a command. He practiced day and night, and got more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
The Baibo yellow scarf is extremely window frame in the area of Yanzhou, Qingzhou. Liu Dai was invited by the herdsman of Qingzhou. Liu Dai led the troops. He did not want to be defeated by the elite of the yellow scarf headquarters led by Guo Da. He was also beheaded by the yellow scarf army. The soldiers under his command fled back to Yanzhou. Guo Da's reputation in the yellow scarf is like the sky, compared with defeating a state. Mu, the previous battles were all small fights.
Liu Dai himself has also become a senior official who has been killed in action since the Yellow Turban incident.
After Liu Dai's death, under the repeated efforts of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Cao Cao led 20,000 soldiers and horses into Yanzhou, and Emperor Han became the herdsman of Yanzhou. Later, Cao comforted the people's livelihood. With the support of a strong military force, Yanzhou was calmed down in a short time. Cao Cao ignored the advice of his advisers and accepted them. Join the army and distribute the fields. Those who want to know can find that Cao Cao's behavior is similar to Jia Rong in Liangzhou. Yellow towels are all suffering people who can have fields and a stable family again. You can imagine their gratitude to Cao Cao.
After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao had the capital and began to show his heroic means to recruit troops and buy horses, with the intention of completely defeating the chaotic yellow scarf army in Qingzhou and other places. This coincided with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Guo Da led the Bai Bo army to run rampant in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou. Wherever they passed, the people's livelihood was withered, and the corpses were everywhere. Those who are sad shed tears.
After Cao Cao became the herdsman of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao sent messengers to congratulate him. The strength of his former friends was a powerful foreign aid in his eyes. The Xiliang Army in Liangzhou was too tough. If the two joined hands, the Xiliang Army would not be so terrible.
With fierce soldiers and horses, Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and broke the yellow scarf of Qingzhou. Guo Da, who was invincible, suffered an unprecedented devastating blow to Cao Cao, so he had to lead the soldiers to avoid the edge for the time being.
After defeating the yellow scarf, Cao Cao did not chase and kill it like the officials of other counties, but used the power of the army to integrate the yellow scarf together. The yellow scarf is true for the people, and there are many brave and good at fighting. In the training of blood and fire, the combat effectiveness of the yellow scarf soldiers is stronger than that of ordinary county soldiers, a little more After training, you can throw yourself into the battlefield, and Cao Cao strictly ordered his soldiers not to discriminate against the Yellow Turban Army, which attracted the hearts of many Yellow Turban soldiers.
The strong expansion of the territory of the Xiliang Army made Cao Cao feel unprecedented panic. If he does not play with Jia Rong, you can never imagine how many good cards he has in his hand. The horseshoe of the horseshoe of the cavalry can be said to be a cross-generational innovation. The cavalry under Cao Cao is fully equipped, and the machete of the blood guard has also been put into production after testing. However, the Central Plains lacks war horses, and a cavalry is equipped enough to support five infantry. It is not as rich as Jia Rong. With the support of the strong financial resources of the Cao family, it has barely gathered a thousand cavalry, which is already a great force in the Central Plains.
Yuan Shao took the opportunity to lead the soldiers to Qingzhou with the intention of taking a share. Yuan Shao's strength prevailed and held most of the territory of Qingzhou in his hand.
At this point, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's two families occupied Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and sent officials to govern. The court in Chang'an also turned a blind eye to this, and the Taishou Prefecture herdsmen in various places have lost their actual control.
Gongsun Zan gathered 20,000 of his subordinates to fight against Liu Yu. He defeated Liu Yu and occupied the land of Youzhou. Youzhou lost six of them. Liu Yu's Cao Yu and Wei You helped Gongsun Zan a lot during this period and became Gongsun Zan's right assistant to help Liu Yu quell the rebellions in various parts of Youzhou. Liu Yu was in the world and had a lot of benevolent and had a lot of people. With prestige, even if he occupies Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan still needs to work hard.
Youzhou is established, and Gongsun Zan is also recruiting troops to prepare for money and food. Youzhou and Jizhou are close, and it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao will make any radical actions.
After carefully reading the information one by one, Jia Rong couldn't help sighing that the rise of the princes in the Central Plains was too fierce. Compared with the Western Liang Army, he did not know how strong it was. The border county was always a border county. There was a fairy love pavilion supported, which could only ensure that the people under the rule could live a just-haved life. If each county was as prosperous as a golden city. Hua, I'm afraid Jia Rong has already expanded his army to 100,000.
Liangzhou is a barren land and lacks resources. There is little interest for businessmen to trade here.
To put it bluntly, it is the world of the family, which is composed of one family. Jia Rong's governance strategy and the interests of the family completely conflict. 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 are easily recognized by the family.
With a long sigh, Jia Rong got up and left. The three counties of Zhangye Jiuquan in Dunhuang were already under the control of the Xiliang Army, and the ten counties of Liangzhou were all in the hands of Jia Rong. I believe that after the governance of the officials, they will gradually get out of the current predicament.
Compared with Jingxiang's nine counties, how spectacular the ten counties of Liangzhou sound. In fact, it is not. No matter how hard Jia Rong works, Liangzhou has always been a place of bitter cold. In the next three years, there will be no large county in the Central Plains like Jincheng. The rise of Jincheng relies on the Fairy Love Pavilion, unless Jia Rong can create another The existence of Bixianlian Pavilion drives the economic development of counties.
Like Bedi County, in addition to the advantage of tough people, it can be said to be poor. If the battle starts, they can not hold back, and Jia Rong has already laughed.
The agriculture in the Hexi Corridor has opened the eyes of Jia Rong, who is used to the barrenness of Liangzhou. The scenery is pleasant, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. 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 a war horse base for the Western Liang Army.
Standing high and overlooking the land, it is believed that the Hexi Corridor will rise rapidly soon.
At present, the premise is to completely settle down the aliens. There are not only Qiang people but also Xiongnu here. Living in the Han Dynasty for a long time makes them adapt to the life here.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of Zhang Liao's department. Under the deterrence of strong force, everything passed is full of submission.
Jia Rong summoned the patriarchs of different tribes. In the face of interests, the patriarchs chose to submit. The county guards of the Han Dynasty in Jiuquan and other three places completely rejected the aliens. In their words, how could he accommodate Rong Di?
Zhang Liao's army was left in the Yumen Pass by Jia Rong. It is called guarding the border. In fact, it is to take care of Jia Rong's horse farm. When Zhang Liao saw the establishment of Hexi horse farm, he would not have any complaints. Bingzhou, like Liangzhou, belongs to the border area, and most of the soldiers are cavalry. The Xiliang Army has its own horse farm, and you can imagine the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of cavalry galloping in the near future.
Dunhuang has been beaten down, and Zhang Li has sent officials to govern. Today's Xiliang Military Group is no longer comparable to the past. Officials are dispatched according to procedures. No matter how outstanding your ability is, you have to start from the grassroots. Most talented people are appointed as a county order by Zhang Li, with political achievements as the capital for promotion. .
Jia Rong was not in Chang'an, and the thoughts of the officials in the court came to life again. The behavior of the new people such as Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao made the officials in the court happy and full of worries.
The good thing is that these princes are all from the world and have a conflict of interests with Jia Rong. If these princes gather together again to fight against Jia Rong in Chang'an, the big thing can be decided.
No matter how high the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is, what can it do? In the past, it was able to resist the Kanto princes. Most of them relied on Dong Jun, and the Xiliang Army is not a piece of iron plate. There are remnants of the Dong Zhuo Army and Bingzhou Army soldiers. As long as there are enough benefits, the officials in the court believe that these generals will have the possibility of defection. Otherwise, why is Jia Rong? Sending Zhang Liao to the Yumen Pass to guard the border gate is just clever words.
I'm worried about whether there will be any of these princes who really want to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Chang'an's bloody washings again and again have made officials see the tough methods of the people sitting in Chang'an City. How can the pen be compared with the barrel of a gun?
"Cao Cao!" During Jia Rongyuan's departure, the big man spread this deeds. The speed of his rise was amazing but natural. Many old officials who used to be with the Cao family secretly sent people to contact him.
After Jia Rong calmed down Dunhuang, the Han Emperor couldn't sit still. He repeatedly summoned the ministers in the court in private and often discussed until midnight.
However, recently, Chang'an calmed down strangely. The officials in the court seemed to have forgotten the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Han. In the court, they also kept silent about political affairs, and when they returned home, they were also closed.
Jia Xu looked at the information in his hand, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. What can he do if he infringe on the interests of the family? Today's Xiliang army can't be shaken by these corrupt Confucians in the dynasty? It is impossible for the princes to gather like the 18 princes in those years. Jia Rong's control of military power is absolutely the strongest, even if The generals of the Bingzhou army are in the intention to rebel, and the soldiers at the bottom may not agree. After spending a lot of effort and money, many families of the former generals and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were taken to Jincheng or Chang'an.
Since Jia Rong left Chang'an, these families have been dishonest. They are calm on the surface and do things that they dare not let the Xiliang army know behind their backs, like the people in the city. There was no sign of a family that time, but these small fights, Jia Xu doesn't want people all over the world to see how cruel the Xiliang army is.
