Chapter 612 Yuan Cao Fighting

The wine and dishes that entertain Zhang Song are all top-quality. Even with Zhang Song's vision, when you see such delicacies, you often lift chopsticks. In Yizhou, the wine you drink is not only expensive, but also not as thick as Jia Rong's, which leaves a fragrance on people's lips and teeth after tasting.

"Liang Wang, this wine is much better than that of Yizhou."

"Ha ha, if you like Yong Nian, you can stay in Chang'an. What I don't lack most is wine, and what I yearn for most is talents."

Zhang Song's expression stagnated slightly. From Jia Rong's words, he felt something strange. Could it be that Jia Rong wanted to stay in Chang'an? It's impossible that he doesn't have a great reputation in Yizhou. "King Liang joked, but Song is just an unknown person."

"Why do you have to underestimate yourself in Yongnian? Liu Yan doesn't know how to use you again. How can I not know the ability of Yongnian?"

The reception of Zhang Song was so grand that Jia Xu realized that the matter was extraordinary. After that, he hurried to find Jia Rong. After hearing Jia Rong's meaning, he immediately agreed. Over the years, the worst infiltration of the Xiliang army was Yizhou. The main reason is that Liu Yan was too conservative, and Xianlian Pavilion was also quite beaten in Yizhou. If it hadn't been for the rare and precious things, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Xianlian Pavilion to develop in Yizhou, and the information obtained was also very limited.

The arrival of Zhang Song can just open this gap. If it can be turned to, it will be of great significance for the Xiliang Army to pacify Yizhou in the future.

Jia Xu listened to Jia Rong's advice and did not judge Zhang Song by his appearance, but his words and words were kind. After chatting, when Zhang Song was shocked by Jia Xu's talent, Jia Xu also praised Zhang Song's knowledge. The two could also be said to cherish each other.

Finally, Jia Xu proposed to invite Zhang Song to join the Xiliang Army. Zhang Song did not immediately refuse, which made Jia Xu see hope.

In fact, Zhang Song came out of Yizhou this time in order to find a worthy one among the princes of the Central Plains. Yizhou Liu Yan seems to be powerful, but he is too conservative and not want to make progress. He has no independent opinion on anything. It is easy to be influenced by his officials. In addition, Zhang Song was suppressed in Yizhou for a long time. Dissatisfied.

Chang'an is not the first stop for Zhang Song. He also has to go to Yanzhou, Jizhou and Jingzhou, walk around, and finally determine which prince to turn to. Although the enthusiasm of the King of Liang makes him very useful, he has not yet reached the point of immediate surrender as soon as his mind is hot. In his heart, Cao Cao is a good candidate. He holds a strong soldier in his hand and governs all It is a fertile place in the Central Plains, which is most likely to dominate the world.

Jia Xu and Jia Rong naturally didn't know that there was such a mystery in it.

The envoys of all parties have lived in Chang'an for more than a month and left one after another. After all, the cost of food and accommodation in Chang'an is still very high. The envoys of all parties are all rich people. They must not be pulled down to eat the meals provided by Liangwangfu every day.

"Lord, Zhang Song's proposal for a humble position is quite moved, and this matter can be done." Jia Xu made a summary.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "The matter of contacting Zhang Song is entrusted to Wen He, but be careful about everything. There are many talents in Yizhou, so you can't underestimate it."

Jia Xu bowed his hand to promise, and he was a little moved in his heart. However, the two kings and ministers have known each other for many years and have already formed a tacit understanding. Jia Rong did this. In the future, the Xiliang Army will win Yizhou, and Jia Xu's credit is the greatest.

Originally, Jia Xu was the first military division of the Xiliang Army, sitting firmly in a high position in the army. However, with the gradual development of the Xiliang Army, the power in his hands was gradually divided, which was also the general trend. Jia Xu had no opinion, but was more careful to avoid being realistic.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Jia Xu can play an important role in the Xiliang Army in the Battle of Yizhou, and his position will be more stable, even Guo Jia and others can't shake it, unless their merit is more prominent than seizing a state.

"Wen He, you have been following me for many years and have been working conscientiously. Although there are occasional omissions, it is also human's normal. If you are not a sage, you can't make mistakes. In the future, give the younger generation more opportunities and let young people experience more. After all, years do not spare people. Even if you and I have ambitions, we have to serve the old. After a hundred years, you don't want to see that the Xiliang Army is not alone. Jia Rong sighed.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "The lord is far-sighted and not as good as he is. Among the rising generations of the Xiliang Army, there are extraordinary and excellent people and fierce generals in the army. There are more and more talents who govern the local area. It seems to be the head of a county. In the past, it was difficult to select among officials, but in the process of providing talents for the school, it emerged. There are a lot of talented people. These people may not have as much knowledge as the scholars in the Central Plains, but the experience of governing local areas is indeed very rich. In time, they are all able to govern a state and become independent talents.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "It's all thanks to your help that the Xiliang Army can have such a situation."

Zhang Song left Chang'an with hesitation. During the period when Jia Xu showed his goodwill and Jia Rong received him, he almost agreed and was willing to serve the Xiliang army, but he still wanted to visit other princes. The principle of the family was not to hang himself on a tree. Zhang Song was also a member of the family. Jia Rong's Some policies have too many disadvantages to him, and he has also tried to test Jia Xu. After finding that there is no room for turnover in this matter, Zhang Song is a little disappointed and also firm in his mind to go to other princes. After all, it is very important to turn to a new lord, not to mention his reputation in front of the world. How many vital benefits you can bring to yourself is the top priority.

Cao Cao in Yanzhou finally couldn't help it. After winning an alliance with the Xiliang army, he gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses and moved closer to Qingzhou. 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered together. The consumption of grain and materials was an astronomical figure, and once it didn't work, the Cao army would not want to use force in the next year.

In the face of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao had no chance of winning. He fought with Yuan Shao, but he was very sure. Just like Liu Bei in those years, he was not beaten around by Cao Cao. So far, he has not ruled the land. He can only live under Liu Biao's account and take care of the family for Liu Biao. Maybe there is a minister in Jingzhou who can't see it. Liu Bei wants Being squeezed out.

The acquisition of Qingzhou is to further weaken Yuan Shao's strength. Over the years, it is nothing more than the Jizhou army that has been fighting with the Cao army. The Xiliang army is motionless and moves like thunder, and the Jizhou army is like a barna maggot, which can't be thrown away. Especially Yuan Shao's behavior when the Xiliang army attacked Yuyang this time, more Cao Cao's idea of occupying Qingzhou was strengthened.

With 100,000 troops to kill Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has long received the news. At most, he occupies only three counties in Qingzhou. Cao Cao's ambition this time is very ambitious. He directly sent Cao Ren to attack Le'an, and I took 60,000 soldiers and horses to Pingyuan County, as long as the two armies If the land is won, then Yuan Shao's power in Qingzhou will be cracked, and Yuan Shao's strength will also be reduced. In less than three years, Cao Cao will be confident to calm it down, provided that the Xiliang Army does not intervene.

After Yuan Shao heard the news that Cao Cao raised his troops to attack Qingzhou, he couldn't sit still. The generals in Qingzhou were Wen Chou and Gao Lan. Wen Chou led 20,000 soldiers and horses to station in Le'an, and Gao Lan led 15,000 soldiers to garrison in Pingyuan County. There were too many facts about the war that the Jizhou army went through. Yuan Shao had no room to form more soldiers. Ma, even more than 20,000 people can only provide it with frugality. Fortunately, thanks to the good harvest of the land of Qingzhou in the past two years, the Jizhou army was able to barely survive.

But war is not a child's play. It is not only the consumption of materials, but also the loss of soldiers. The command ability of generals is very important.

Cao Ren suffered a big loss in Jia Rong's hands and lost such important cities as Luyang. What he thought was about was how to find the field in the Jizhou army. Wen Chou was a general in the Jizhou army. He was strong in martial arts, but Cao Ren did not have any fear. In his opinion, this five-three thick man was better than the Xiliang army. Falling in love with a lot of unpreventable assassinations, at least Wen Chou disdains to do it. As for the generals, Cao Ren is also not afraid. This time, Cao Cao even sent his general Xu Zhu to Cao Ren in order to quickly occupy Le'an.

There are too many borders between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and Cao's army can lead the Jizhou army to launch an attack from all angles.

Cao Cao's strategy is very simple. He occupies the counties around the county and completely isolates the county. Once successful, even if Yuan Shao leads the army to kill, Cao Cao can calmly capture Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao did not expect that after the Cao army attacked Qingzhou just after the embassy to Chang'an. Previously, the Xiliang army fought with the Cao army. The Jizhou army had little left in grain and materials, and could barely survive for a year. However, the war was not only about grain and grass, but also more materials. It was not as rich as the Xiliang Army. The most in Yuan Shao's hand was only the soldiers. At the critical moment, he could only let the soldiers stand up.

As Jia Rong said, a war is actually more money than anyone. How much is a crossbow and how much is a bed crossbow? The princes who don't have money still want to learn from others to attack and defend, just to die.

Yuan Shao's first reaction when he heard Cao's attack on the city was to send an envoy to Chang'an for help. Yuan Shao knew that Jia Rong must have learned about Cao's army's attack on Qingzhou, but it was two different things. It seemed that the Xiliang army did not need to abasper Jia Rong like Yuan Shao.

The candidate for the envoy to Chang'an became Xu You. After some discussion, Yuan Shao was willing to give up three counties in Zhuo County, Youzhou, and the Xiliang Army sent 5,000 troops to help.

Jia Rong readily accepted such conditions and asked Xu You to go back and tell Yuan Shao that if he could cede Zhuo County to the Xiliang Army, he would send 10,000 troops to help.

With the continuous escalation of the war, Yuan Shao finally agreed to this condition, which made Jia Rong extremely happy and helped Yuan Shao defend Qingzhou. He just sent soldiers to go through the stage. In the battle of defending the city, the infantry were the best, and the losses were very few. It was unexpected that he could get Zhuo County.
