Chapter 424 Emergency in Yuzhou
"Brother Bo Kui and I have known each other for a long time. Naturally, I can't treat you badly. The Xiliang Army's weapons are excellent. You must have heard of it."
Jia Rong took a look at the reaction of Youzhou's messenger and continued to say, "Our army has built a lot of weapons, and Youzhou has a lot of coal. The two sides can communicate with each other and trade. I have heard that Youzhou's war horses are also quite excellent."
The messenger of Youzhou was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General!" Jia Rong treats Youzhou much better than Jizhou. The Xiliang Army's military strength is strong, relying more on sophisticated weapons. With the support of these weapons, the Youzhou Army can also gain more advantages on the battlefield. Therefore, it is not difficult to defeat the Jizhou Army. Unexpectedly, such a big thing has been done in Chang'an. The eyes of the messenger of Youzhou are full of light.
After dealing with the affairs of the messengers from both sides, Jia Rong ran to the craftsman's workshop again.
When Zhang Zhao learned that Jia Rong easily agreed to the messenger of Jizhou, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, when he thought that Jizhou owed 100,000 stones of grain, he sneered. At that time, Yuan Shao was afraid that he didn't want to pay it back. It seemed that the person who wanted to get cheap in Jia Rong's hands was not born.
In addition to the Xianlian Pavilion, other merchants in Jizhou are not open to merchants in Chang'an. It is also Yuan Shao's indirect opposition to Chang'an. Jizhou is a big grain state. As long as there is Jizhou's food support, no matter how difficult it is, it can survive this winter. It seems that Jia Rong has not gained much benefit, but in fact it has invisibly solved the problem of grain. The source of grass.
And with merchants in Jizhou, there is an additional channel for the glass of the craftsman's workshop. The technology of glass has become mature, like glass necklaces, glasses and glass bowls, etc., which are very popular in various counties, especially the nobles, and use of glass items as a symbol of the superior. Jia Rong used it on the banquet on that day. The light cup is also the object of the aristocracy, throwing a lot of money.
Cement, even if Pu Yuan sees such a thing, he will praise it. With cement, a ten-foot thick wall can withstand the previous effect of two or even three feet. It is absolutely a divine help to strengthen the wall.
The craftsman's workshop has been expanded again, and the manufacturing zones of fairy love, glass, cement and making weapons are separated, which are the responsibility of different people. In today's craftsman's workshop, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen and workers at the bottom. The scale is unprecedented. It is estimated that the princes of the Central Plains can't imagine that the craftsman's workshop in Chang'an will be so large. The handwriting.
With the help of the Mi family and Xianlian Pavilion, Xiliang Army easily obtained a large amount of food. It is worth gratifying that the Wei family chose to completely cooperate with Xiliang Army. There were many contradictions between the two before, but since Wei Fu gave birth to a son for Jia Rong, Wei Guan has also understood a lot. Now the world has changed, no longer It is the world of Liu in the Han Dynasty, but it is in the hands of many princes. The Wei family has enough money and power, but it is not as good as the Fairy Pavilion. It is better to try its best to assist Jia Rong to achieve great things.
With the help of the Wei family, it is easier for merchants to buy grain. The Wei family has been standing for a hundred years. There are only a few well-deserved business families who can compare with it.
Two days later, the judge found Jia Rong and discussed the alliance between the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army.
"I don't know what position Mr. Xi is holding in the Jizhou Army?" Jia Rong asked.
The judge laughed and said, "The talent of the Jizhou Army is like a match, like a crucian carp crossing the river. There are countless, and now he serves as General Yuan's staff."
"Oh, that's a little condescending. If you are interested, Xi Liangjun is willing to invite you for a higher position." Jia Rong said sincerely. I have to say that he is a little envious of Yuan Shao. He thought about the strength of the Xiliang Army in those years, and what strength Yuan Shao was. He was able to get the help of a large number of counselors and generals. The reason was just the aura of the four generations and three princes on his head.
"The general is joking. It's just a micro-study and it's difficult to take responsibility." The judge refused with an unmoved look.
"Whether you like it or not, the Xiliang Army will always open the door for you." Jia Rongdao.
The judge's face changed slightly, and then said, "General, after I go back, I will think about it again and again. I'm willing to agree to the general's request, but only 100,000 stones of grain, which is really a little too much."
"Looking at your face, it will be reduced to 80,000 stones." Jia Rong said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, General. After returning to Jizhou, an envoy will be sent."
"Mr. Shen's work, I'm very relieved!"
The jury's heart moved slightly. Jia Rong can make today's achievements, and it doesn't just rely on the courage of the husband. It seems that there is too much ignorance of Jia Rong outside. This person will be the strong enemy faced by all princes.
The Xiliang army conquered the grassland. In the hot development, Yuzhou was also extremely lively. After Guo Da occupied the State of Yingchuan and Chen, he was not satisfied, but concentrated his troops to compete with Guan Yu in Runan.
Liu Bei's soldiers were slightly small, and most of the military generals were temporarily promoted and did not have enough talents. There was no decent resistance in the counties along the way, and the Yellow Turban Army was almost down in a battle.
It seems that he has aged a lot overnight. Liu Bei is not as energetic as when he just captured Yuzhou. He originally wanted to occupy Yuzhou, slowly develop his strength, and then restore the glory of his ancestors and let himself really write into the Han family tree. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got Yuzhou, he met the yellow scarf army like a wolf and a tiger.
"Mr. Sun, there are 50,000 yellow scarf soldiers gathered in Runan. There are only 5,000 people in the hands of the second brother. Please teach me how to resist."
Sun Qian's face is difficult. The current situation in Yuzhou is precarious. He is not good at strategy and lacks battlefield vision. How can he make suggestions for Liu Bei?
"Lord, don't ask Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou for help." Sun Qian said, "Liu Jingsheng is a Han clan, Jingzhou herdsman, and the master is also a Han clan. If the master asks for help, Liu Biao will not lose face to seize Yuzhou. Moreover, with the current situation in Yuzhou, even if it falls into the hands of Liu Biao, it is better than the Yellow Turban Army."
Liu Bei frowned slightly and sighed for a long time, "In my husband's opinion, is it just a candidate to go to Jingzhou?"
Sun Qian arched his hand and said, "Master, I am willing to go there. I persuade Liu Biao to send troops to Yuzhou."
Liu Bei held Sun Qian and said, "Sir, sir, is the pillar of our army. How can you be in danger? Send others."
Sun Qian's heart was agitated and said firmly, "Lord, as the saying goes, the two armies will not fight. What's more, how can a famous man like Liu Biao lose his reputation? Moreover, I went to ask for help. Even if it doesn't work, Liu Biao will not be embarrassed."
Liu Bei said, "In this way, there is Mr. Lao."
"Third brother, you protect Mr. Sun all the way. If there is any mistake, do it in military law."
Zhang Fei hugged his fist and said, "No!"
Liu Bei lost the State of Chen in Zhang Fei's defeat, and he did not mention the punishment. He said so harshly to protect Sun Qian. Sun Qian had already been moved by a mess.
In fact, Liu Bei also knows that Sun Qian is useless, but there is a lack of talents in the army. There is no capital like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, only slow development.
"Talent, talent!" Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, "A figure like Guo Da can get the help of counselors. Why did I, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, come to such a point?"
Guan Yu led a large army to station in Pingyu, gathered the troops of the whole Runan County, relying on Jiancheng to resist the Yellow Turban Army.
Under the leadership of Guo Da, the whole Pingyu City was surrounded by 50,000 yellow scarves, blocking the connection between Pingyu and other counties.
"Mr. Yu, our army has surrounded Pingyu. If the grain in the city is exhausted, the general's heart will be unstable, and Runan is in the hands of our army." Guo Da said proudly that he had won the State of Yingchuan and Chen one after another, which made him a little light.
Yu Shan nodded slightly. Yuzhou is indeed a blessed place for the Yellow Turban Army. In more than two months, it captured Yingchuan and the State of Chen, and then surrounded Pingyu. In a few days, it will definitely be able to occupy Runan in one fell swoop. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army will have room for development. In time, it may be able to fly to the sky and compare with the princes of the Central Plains. In the world, strength is the most important thing. At this time, the country is still from the Han Dynasty, but how many people can listen to its mobilization?
Liu Bei does not have many troops. Except for the 10,000 horses taken by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, there are only more than 10,000 people at most, and most of them are untrained new soldiers. It is difficult for such soldiers to make a difference on the battlefield.
"Lord, Pingyu is surrounded, and the surrounding counties can send generals to take it one by one and turn Pingyu into a lonely city." Yu Shan's plan.
Guo laughed and said, "Sir, this is very kind."
There are 37 counties under the rule of Runan, which is the largest county in Yuzhou. As long as Runan is occupied, it will take a long time to get Liu Bei out of Yuzhou.
In Jingzhou, Liu Biao grandly received Sun Qian, the messenger of Yuzhou. He was one of the eight emperors and liked his face. Liu Bei claimed that he was a relative of the Han clan. Liu Biao should be more perfect and could not leave a handle on people.
"What did Mr. Sun do here?" Liubiao was at the top and asked faintly.
Sun Qian looked around and saw that Liu Biao's subordinates and generals were full of talents. Thinking of the situation in Yuzhou, he couldn't help but be a little envious. Immediately thinking of Liu Bei's trust in him, he felt that he was full of fighting spirit.
"Lord Liu is a relative of the Han clan, and so is my lord. Now in Yuzhou, there are Guo Dahuang Turban anti-thieves, which harms the people of the people. My lord has first gained Yuzhou. He has not many troops in his hand, and it is difficult to deal with the army of 100,000 yellow scarves. Therefore, he asked Lord Liu for help. I hope that Lord Liu can send troops to relieve the disaster of the yellow scarf in Yuzhou. " Sun Qian held the boxing.
Liu Biao pondered for a long time and said solemnly, "Mr. Sun, to tell you the truth, Jingzhou seems to be prosperous. After the drought last year, the food and fodder in the warehouse have also been exhausted, and it is difficult to support the army to fight. Otherwise, troops would have been sent there."
The counselors in the room are also talking about it. It is difficult to support Yuzhou. Liu Bei went to the rescue. As long as the counselors have a little vision, they can see that there is a huge opportunity in it, that is, to seize Yuzhou. After Liu Biao became the herdsman of Jingzhou, Jingzhou has made great progress. There is basically no war in the hinterland. Even in the year of drought, the treasury is still rich, but Jingzhou has never opened its territory and has continuously accumulated strength. Now it is a good time to send troops to Yuzhou.
Ask for all the support. The monthly ticket in your hand is the driving force of the cliff.
