Chapter 636 Zhen Jia

Unlike the lowness of Cao's army, the morale of the defenders is high. They can't wait to go out of the city immediately and fight with Cao's army. More than 300 cavalrymen of Cao's army were destroyed at the gate. Under the propaganda of Liu Bei and others, they have become thousands of people. The morale of the army is boosted. You know, the cavalry is not as good as infantry.

Liu Pan saw that Cao Cao was so easily deceived, and his vigilance against Cao Cao was also reduced to a minimum.

Late at night, the gate of Jiangling slowly opened. Liu Pan took the lead and walked out of Jiangling City. Two thousand soldiers followed behind him, and the target was the dark Cao army camp.

Liu Bei had such great achievements when Cao's army attacked Jiangling City last night, which made Liu Pan a little unable to sit still. Even with this sneak attack on Cao's camp, he did not say hello to Liu Bei in advance. In his opinion, the biggest official position in Jiangling was himself, but every time Liu Bei took a big advantage, and his heart was naturally a little uncomfortable. Ag.

People fight for breath. Liu Pan is a general in Jingzhou. He thinks he is many times better than Liu Bei, a wanderer.

Liu Pan led the soldiers and quietly approached Cao's camp. After last night's failure, the Cao's camp seemed to have slacked a lot on defense, and there were not many soldiers guarding the camp.

"Cao Cao is arrogant, and Jiangling is the place where you are buried." Liu Pan said contemptuously.

The leading troops opened the door of the antlers and the camp. Liu Pan had no doubt about him and led the remaining soldiers to kill the Cao army.

The torch lit in his hand kept throwing on the tent of Cao Junying. In a while, a blazing fire was ignited.

Listening to the wailing of the soldiers and the shouts of the generals from the Cao army, Liu Pan's face showed a color.

Just after killing the position of the Chinese army, a cavalry team appeared in front of them, about 500 people, all wearing armor, holding machetes, the first general, majestic, holding a big knife, looking at the advancing Liu Pan army with awe-inting eyes.

"Kill." Xia Houdun waved a big knife in his hand, gently kicked the horse's abdomen with his legs, and the war horse met and killed Liu Pan's army.

Five hundred cavalrymen effortlessly tore open the protection of Liu Pan's army. How can the infantry be the opponent of the cavalry? The people who only kill are turned upside down. Liu Pan did not have the previous relaxed expression. The Cao army camp was obviously prepared for a long time.

"Withdraw." Liu Pan shouted loudly and turned the horse's head first.

It's easy to get in, and it's extremely difficult to get out. At every step, soldiers are killed. The main general has taken the lead in withdrawing, and the soldiers in his hand don't have much combat power. The Cao soldiers who heard the news have even practiced the ability to beat the falling dog. It was the crying father and mother who killed 2,000 Liu Pan's army. There is no previous prestige. .

When Liu Pan came up with a bloody road, there were only more than 500 soldiers around him.

"Don't leave Liu Pan." Xia Hou Dun took the lead and killed Liu Pan. Looking at the situation, he would not be willing not to leave Liu Pan outside the city. Last night, he suffered such a big loss in the city, and Xia Hou Dun held his breath in his heart.

When Liu Pan saw Xia Hou Dun coming, he was not afraid. After commanding the soldiers to retreat, then Xia Hou Dun fought for a moment. He was weak and walked away.

After Liu Bei in the city learned that Liu Pan came out of the city to attack Cao Jun, he hurriedly sent Guan Yu out of the city to pick him up before taking Liu Pan back into the city.

When he went there, there were 2,000 soldiers, and when he returned, there were only more than 500 people. Liu Pan looked low. Although Liu Bei's position in Liu Biao's heart was lower than his, he thought that Liu Bei could scold him more, so that he would feel better.

With one win and one defeat, the morale of the defenders in the city seems to have fallen.

"Lord, it is summer now. It is expected that there will be heavy rain in less than three days. At that time, General Guan will be secretly ordered to go out of the city to intercept the rivers outside the city..." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up. In this way, not only can the dangerous situation in Jingzhou be solved, but Cao's army will also lose troops. It is impossible for any more troops to invade in a short period of time. Maybe it is enough to take the opportunity to recover Nanyang County. In this way, the credit is his Liu Bei. Even if Liu Pan wants to rob, there is no way. After Liu Pan failed After this incident, the most talkative figure in Jiangling City has obviously become Liu Bei. As long as Nanyang is occupied again, his strength will become stronger.

After occupying Jizhou, Jia Rong's life has also become busy. It is a big problem for officials in Jizhou to serve. If Chang'an students are directly sent to take office, according to the Xiliang Army's set, it is inevitable to convince the people, but the geographical location of Jizhou and the border is different, and it needs to be tested. There are more things to worry about. Under the condition that most county magistrates did not move, many officials in Chang'an began to go to Jizhou to take up their post.

The Zhen family has never let go, which makes Jia Rong a little big. As the largest businessman and family in Jizhou, there is no doubt about the influence of the Zhen family. With the support of the Zhen family, Jia Rong can take some big actions. Compared with other places under the rule, there are too many family families in Jizhou, causing them to rebound. It is extremely unfavorable to the rule of the Xiliang Army.

Most of the occupation of Jizhou are soldiers without blood, so the family in the city is completely preserved, and the Chang'an set has too many conflicts with the family. It is impossible for Jia Rong to go up and kill directly. When the family is over, it is estimated that the Xiliang army is almost in Jizhou.

These families live in Jizhou, and their influence is not much worse than that of the government. Some of these families have a good reputation for building porridge sheds and helping the people during the disaster year.

"Master, someone from the Zhen family came to see you."

Jia Rong put down the copywriter in his hand and said, "Come in."

"The grass people have seen the Liang King." Zhen Yi bowed respectfully. At this time, the Xiliang Army was the leader of Jizhou. Zhen Yi saw this clearly. After making friends with the Xiliang Army, he could not only get a lot of benefits, but also greatly help the development of the Zhen family. The Xiliang Army was not as good as Yuan Shao at the beginning. There was only one state, covering a vast area. The Xiliang Army As the first in the world, Cao Cao from the Central Plains was almost in the same time. It is still very good to be able to join the Xiliang Army. After making friends with the Xiliang Army, the things produced by Chang'an alone can improve the strength of the Zhen family again.

"Don't be so polite. The Zhen family is benevolent and has benefited many people in Jizhou. If you see me in the future, you don't have to show salute." Jia Rong said with a smile.

When Zhen Yi heard these words, he set off a stormy wave in his heart. Previously, Yuan Shao was also very polite to the Zhen family, far from reaching the point of not giving a courtesy when they met. Even if the Zhen family was strong, it was also a businessman. The status of a businessman was the lowest. There was no change under Yuan Shao, but because of this The Zhen family has not been criticized too much for their strength, and their status in the city is not low.

"Thank you, Liang Wang, for your kindness. The people dare not do it." Zhen Yi said goodbye.

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "What dare you do? As long as the Zhen family can make more achievements in the future, the children of the clan can also become scholars."

Zhen Yi felt that his brain was a little insufficient. Previously, when Yuan Shao was there, he had also recommended excellent children in the clan to Yuan Shao, all of whom were rejected. It was not so easy for people from the family to enter the officialdom, and Yuan Shao was also very strict at this level. Therefore, the Zhen family has been pursuing for many years. Recently, Zhen Yi is preparing to enter the officialdom of Jizhou through the marriage of his daughter and Yuan Shao's son. Unexpectedly, the Xiliang Army attacked Jizhou.

"Thank you, King Liang, thank you, King Liang." Zhen Yi hurriedly said.

"Entrying the officialdom is not as simple as it seems. In my words, I can indeed let the children of your family enter the officialdom, but what you will do in the future depends on your own efforts. Presumably, you have heard of some rules of the Xiliang Army. They are treated equally. If there is no great achievements, you can only be Replace, those who can go up and those who can go down." Jia Rong said righteously that this is the principle of the Xiliang Army, which cannot be changed. It is nothing to turn on a green light occasionally. Once the principle is changed, it means that the Xiliang Army is not far from declining.

"What the Liang King said is that the grass people understand, and the grass people understand." Zhen Yi repeatedly said that he wanted to donate part of his family's assets in the hope of winning Jia Rong's trust. Unexpectedly, not only did he not spend a penny, but the children of the clan could also be officials. Zhen Yi struggled in the mall for half his life, and he could still understand some things in the officialdom. Since the Liang King in front of him opened it out There must be something to ask for favorable conditions.

"Jizhou Xin family, I don't know what the owner of the Zhen family has any opinion?" Jia Rong's tone changed and turned the topic to the family in Jizhou.

In the family of Jizhou, the Zhen family is the richest, while the Xin family is the most powerful. Even the Xu family where Xu You is located cannot be compared. The Xin family has a very important position in Yuan Shao's heart and has always been valued. Moreover, the Xin family also pays attention to the development of its own wings. Under the protection of Yuan Shao, the momentum of officialdom absolutely exceeds Zhen family.

"The Xin family is actually a foreign family. They are not from Jizhou, but with their great achievements under Yuan Shao's account, they have developed in Jizhou. There is no doubt about their strength. Even if the Zhen family is compared with it, it is a little insufficient." Zhen Yi said after a moment of meditation.

Jia Rong nodded slightly. The Xin family followed Yuan Shao to Jizhou. Xin Pi, the head of the family, originally lived in Longxi, but later turned to Yuan Shao's account and played a very important role in the war such as Yuan Shao's annexation of Jizhou and the elimination of Gongsun Zan.

"I don't know if the Zhen family has any contact with the Xin family?" Jia Rong asked.

Zhen Yi shook his head and said, "The most contempt for people in the officialdom are businessmen. The Xin family is also a merchant family, which is different from other families. For many years, the two families have always been innocent."

"Well, I know, if nothing happens..."

Zhen Yi's face was slightly embarrassed. From beginning to end, it was Jia Rong who was asking, and there was no chance for him to ask.

"Oh, what's wrong with the owner of the Zhen family? Just say it." Jia Rong was also curious to see that Zhen Yi had no intention of leaving.
