Chapter 428 Liu Bei Escape
At this time, the Jingzhou army had just retreated. Kualiang, an important task in Jingzhou, actually appeared in the Yellow Turban Army. It was indeed a little unexpected. As Kuiliang's identity, he would definitely not take risks and go to the evil Yellow Turban Army alone.
"My master was invited by Liu Xuande, the pastor of Yuzhou, to lead his troops to Yuzhou. Unexpectedly, Cai Mao did not obey my lord's order and actually clashed with your army, so that the swords and soldiers on both sides were facing each other, and the soldiers were killed and injured. He was ashamed of the commander-in-in-chief."
Kai Liang continued, "I sent me here in the hope that the two families can repair it again. Of course, General Cai Mao has been punished for this matter."
Guo Da's heart was like a mirror. "Lord Kuai, I'm afraid it was the Jiangdong Army that made Jingzhou anxious and had no time to take care of Yuzhou."
Kuai Liang smiled disapprovingly and said, "Guo Marshal, I, Jingzhou, have 100,000 soldiers, thousands of miles away. How many people can fight well? What about the Xiliang Army in Chang'an?"
"My Lord hopes to form an alliance with Marshal Guo, and I hope the Marshal can consider it."
"Lord, go down first. This matter is very important. Let me think about it."
Kuai Liang got up, arched his hand, and walked out of the big account of the Chinese army. Guo Da has been able to dominate the world for many years. He must have an extraordinary side. Choosing to form an alliance with the Jingzhou Army has many benefits. Of course, in the eyes of powerful people, this kind of alliance is like a child's family, and no one really trusts each other completely.
"Mr. Yu, what do you think of Kuai Liang coming to form an alliance with our army?"
Yu Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Marshal, our army seems to be stable at this time, but in fact it is not. When Cao's army captures Peiguo, it will face the threat from the Yanzhou army. Cao Cao's governance of the army is good, and his subordinates are extremely elite and unable to resist. Our army must take this good opportunity to develop strength, otherwise it will be in danger and form an alliance with Liu Biao. The threat from Jingzhou has been temporarily lifted. Liu Biao is one of the eight runners and a royal relative. It is expected that it will not go back on its head. Our army can also divide more troops to deal with the Cao army. As long as it blocks Cao's army and gradually develops its strength, Jingzhou will certainly not dare to act rashly. The hearts of the princes are very big, but they do not want to damage the soldiers and generals. Jingzhou Army It seems to be powerful, but it is cheaper for Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Cao Cao in Yanzhou to fight with our army.
"Mr. Yu's words are reasonable, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou is a relative of the Han Dynasty, but our army bears the name of a traitor. How can we form an alliance with our army? Isn't it to paralyze our army and take the opportunity to attack the city and land?" Guo Da was worried.
"The Lord's words are not unreasonable. Liu Biao has a great reputation. It is expected that the alliance will only be in the dark, otherwise how to face the mouth of the world." In the single way.
The next day, Guo Da met with Kuai Liang again and agreed to the alliance, but the alliance between the two sides was in secret. Guo Da was always a yellow scarf anti-thief. If Liu Biao made an open alliance, he would definitely be scolded by people all over the world.
Kuai Liang rushed back to Jingzhou with satisfaction with good news, and the Yellow Turban Army was also actively preparing for the war and preparing to welcome Cao Jun from Peiguo.
At the same time, the first strong city on the grassland was finally built, with a wall as high as five feet, which was extremely steep in the eyes of the grassland people.
The construction of the city wall is completely made of cement. The thick wall is enough to match the three-foot thick wall of the Central Plains. The cement is not only strong, but also the wall built is extremely smooth. It is not easy for the enemy's soldiers to attack the wall.
On the city, there are many arrow towers, and the patrol soldiers come and go endlessly, showing everyone the extraordinaryness of this city.
This city was established in the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and Jia Rong took Danhan as the name of the city.
The city has been built. In addition to the simple housing of the grassland people, there is nothing else in the city. Building such a city has made the rich warehouse of the Xiliang Army much more empty. The wineries and other places in the city have long been contracted by merchants. The profits on the grassland are huge. Even in the war, there have been merchants walking away. I almost went to the grassland.
The grassland is rich in fur, horses, cattle and sheep, and merchants are looking for profit. Even during the war, they still go to the grassland to do business. What's more, the situation in the grassland is stable. In addition to the long distance and no other dangers, the Danhan City also seems to be prosperous, and there is an endless stream of merchants. However, in Jia Rong's view, Chang'an is more than just one grade. .
Xianbei people have seen with their own eyes how a strong city is gradually built on the grassland. Some tribes of Xianbei live relying on Danhan City. Xianbei people can choose to go to the city to help build the city, get money, or graze on the grassland. Everything is under the protection of the Xiliang Army, and their property and life is safe. There will be the decision of the Xiliang Army, and you don't have to worry about the horse thieves on the grassland and the bullying of the big tribe.
The Xiliang Army made the Xianbei tribe on the grassland spend a difficult winter. The herdsmen on the grassland also reduced their grudge against the Xiliang Army a lot. Many herdsmen were willing to find work in the city, and then bought a simple house in the city. The city blocked the cold and made the herdsmen feel extremely comfortable. They repeatedly Attacking the Han people, isn't it enviing that the Han people can live in a strong city, not worry about food and clothing, and do not have to suffer from the wind and sand.
The situation in the grassland is gradually stabilizing. The strength of the Xianbei tribes has plummeted. There are no soldiers in their hands. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid it will be a problem to make a living. As for the nobles who can work and support their families, it is never a long-term strategy. The nobles are used to living a luxurious life, and sweating gradually turns into prosperity. How could they stand it? A batch of servants were sold as slaves by them.
Jia Rong is also a comer who does not refuse. As long as these slaves perform well, they may break away from this identity and become an ordinary people, which has also attracted the hearts of many herdsmen.
Peiguo, no matter how brave Zhang Fei and Guanyu is, it has always been difficult to stop the defeat of the Yuzhou army. The food and fodder in the city soon have no way to continue. The army is struggling every day, and there is not enough food. When talking about war, people are panicked.
In the end, Cao's army captured Pei Guo and owned the land of the Three Kingdoms of Liang, Pei and Chen in Yuzhou, while Guo Da occupied the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan, and owned most of Yuzhou. Liu Bei led the remnants of the army out of Qio County and fled in confusion.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Jizhou failed to fight for a long time. They retreated from each other, and the world regained stability again.
Of course, the development on the grassland has not been hidden from the eyes of the princes. The financial resources in Jia Rong's hand shocked the princes. It is hard to imagine that if Jia Rong takes this money to develop troops, how many soldiers, 500,000 or millions would there be under his command?
Guo Da expressed his willingness to surrender to the imperial court, which was also a decision made under the repeated persuasion of Shan. Today's Han Dynasty is in the hands of powerful princes. Even Cao Cao in Yanzhou may only use the reputation of the emperor, and after the surrender, he is a serious Han official with the military force in his hand. Without any weakening and obtaining the official position, this yellow scarf can get rid of the name of the thief army and walk openly between the state and county, because their commander Guo Da is the imperial official, that's all. Although the Han Dynasty is weak, it still holds the appointment of the official position in the world, that is, Jia Rong, who is far away from Chang'an, is probably in the Han Emperor. Under an imperial edict, he was demoted to a commoner, but such an imperial edict has no deterrent for a huge man like the Xiliang Army. There are soldiers in his hand, money in his palm, and the official position is secondary.
Facing the surrender of Guo Da, the minister of the court triggered a heated discussion. From beginning to end, Cao Cao stood aside with a smile and watched the arguments of officials. For more than a year, Cao Cao was repeatedly oppressed by officials with justice, and he was naturally a little unhappy. Of course, he never thought about it. After giving up the Han Emperor's hand, the flag of the Han Emperor is still quite open in righteousness. Under the imperial edict, whoever disobeys is a traitor.
At this time, Cao Cao is really in the world. He is full of desire to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and remain famous in history. At the beginning, Xu Zi will comment on Cao Cao's "competent minister of governing the world". His own strategic talent is still good, but these court officials will not take out all their own forces at all except for bickering, which makes Cao Cao Some cold-hearted, the big man has fallen to this level, and the family is still quarreling about some small profits.
Although Cao Cao, who has military power, has less influence in the court than Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo, he still has a strong influence. He has been oppressed in Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo for so long, and the ministers also understand the benefits of military power in his hands. This is not the era of literati casually suppressing martial arts at the heyday of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao once disobeyed the order of the Emperor of Han, which made the courtiers a little displeaous. Some officials even accused Cao Cao to his face. Unlike Jia Rong, Cao's family was ranked in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he was well educated. Unlike Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo, he only knew the fighting on the battlefield, and the courage of the officials was also When he grew up, Cao Cao had always been silent in the court. For the words of the emperor, he was even more obedient. He did not ask the Emperor of Han to promote him, which made the minister gradually wake up from the shadow of Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo. They were officials of the Han Dynasty, with talent in their chests, and their official positions were higher than Cao Cao. They criticized two words. What's the matter?
Consistent neglect, officials also experience the horror of Cao Cao. Unlike Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo's unprousual killing, Cao Cao will give you a charge of rebellion. Even in the court, there is no way to embarrass.
The persecution of officials once made Cao Cao Cao's means brutal. For example, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others in the court, relied on the position of three princes and made trouble for Cao Cao in public. At that time, Yanzhou was facing unprecedented difficulties. They went through the difficulties together. The officials did not do too much, and Cao Cao did not pay attention to it.
Cao Cao's blind tolerance brought the arrogance and domineering of the officials. What made him unbearable was that the officials actually stretched out his hands and feet to the barracks. Emperor Han had restrained before and had money in his hand. He wanted to form an army. Naturally, he hoped that Cao Cao could support him.
In anger, regardless of the dissuasion of his advisers, Cao Cao resolutely eradicated several officials, cut them to the root, cut them first and then played, so that the courtiers could see Cao Cao's methods, as if they had seen the figure of Dong Zhuo from Cao Cao.
If Jia Rong is a fierce tiger, then Cao Cao can call it the name of a poisonous snake. He is silent. The last moment he talked and laughed, and the next moment he may be surrounded by soldiers.
