Chapter 660 Zhang Song asks for a meeting

Jia Xu bowed and said that after this change, Guo Da's influence in the Yuzhou army has become smaller. As a state shepherd of a state, he has great power. If he has another army, it will become a constraint of the court, and the elite soldiers in the army enter the standing army, which means that Guo Da has lost his military power. After some soldiers enter the standing army, they are not what Guo Da can mobilize. They will only be loyal to Jia Rong and Liang Guo, not a member.

"Zhao Yun, Guoda and others are meritorious and should be rewarded."

"Wen He, you can salute on your face in the future, and just meet with ordinary friends behind your back."

Jia Rong's words moved Jia Xu again. Jia Rong is now the emperor, the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and a minister can reach such a status in this life.

After the capture of Nanyang County, the Xiliang army seemed to have no movement, which also reassured Guan Yu in Jiangling City and Wei Yan in Nan County. On that day, the battle in Nanyang County quickly spread throughout Jingzhou. The strength of the Xiliang army once again touched the Jingzhou family. Cao's army was already very elite, and they were in the Xiliang army. The former seems to be a little weak. Although the Xiliang Army is a little bullied by more this time, the lone wolf soldiers who really went out have changed the direction of the situation on the battlefield to a certain extent. The corpses are everywhere, and the blood flows into rivers. The degree of cruelty cannot be described in detail with these eight words.

The decisive battle between the two armies in the wilderness is very cruel. The real you die, with your own strength, there is no fancy.

After Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou put down the matter about Nanyang County, he began to plot a major event in Yizhou. Unsurprisingly, Liu Yan will die within a month, and Liu Zhang has just inherited his father's business, which is not enough to convince the public, and Zhang Lu's own ability is good. At the instigation of Yizhou officials and families, he will definitely happen. In the war, Liu Zhang will also ask Liu Bei for help, which will be the best time to capture Yizhou in one fell swoop.

Cao Jun attached great importance to Dongjun. He personally led the army of 30,000 and moved closer to Dongjun, which provoked the Xiliang army to retreat for ten miles, camped and temporarily avoided the edge. Cao Cao fought in the world for many years and had a good strategy. Even the veteran Huang Zhong did not have enough confidence to fight with such an enemy, so he had to temporarily avoid its edge. Jia Rong The order given to Huang Zhong was only to contain Cao's army, so that they had no time to take care of Yuzhou. After Yuzhou was stable, it was time for Xiliang's army to make every effort to deal with Cao Cao.

The retreat of the army for ten miles shocked Cao's morale. After all, the Xiliang Army did not launch any attack outside the East County, and there were tough generals and counselors in the city who built Dong County without dripping water.

However, before Cao Cao was arrogant enough to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to chase the Xiliang army, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao were all elite.

The generals and soldiers in the army were a little puzzled by Huang Zhong's military order, and they still implemented it. In the view of the soldiers in Xiliang were invincible, and it was common for them to be ten. Even if Cao Cao led 100,000 soldiers and horses, he should work hard to move forward, but Huang Zhong chose to retreat.

Ma Chao is naturally slanderous about this, and he can only vent it secretly. If he says something on the surface, it is inevitable that Huang Zhong will be accused of shaking the army's heart.

Nanyang County settled down, but the undercurrent in Jingzhou is still not over. The majesty from the Xiliang army is more than twice as strong as the Cao army. Many families in Jingzhou also began to wake up from their dreams and think about their own future. In half a month, there were not a few families who visited the Cai family alone. For a while, the Cai family He has become the most influential person in Jingzhou. Who is the imperial relative of the Liang Kingdom? Liu Bei also secretly ordered people to stare at the Cai family's every move, which is related to the safety of Jingzhou and has to be paid attention to.

"From the Holy One, Zhang Song, the messenger of Yizhou, has arrived in the city and asked for a meeting."

Jia Rong nodded slightly. It was reasonable for Zhang Song to come to Luyang. Even Liu Bei could get the news that Liu Yan was critically ill. How could he not know that Zhang Song came to Luyang was nothing more than a way out. On that day, Jia Rong entertained Zhang Song in Chang'an, and there was no discrimination because of his appearance. Presumably Zhang Song must come this time. There will also be surprises.

"Well, I already know about this matter and tell Zhang Song to go to the palace tomorrow." Jia Rong said lightly.

Just as Jia Rong thought, the situation in Yizhou today can be described as erosion. The land of Yizhou is prosperous, and there are many talents. However, like the Central Plains, there are many families and even grasping the power. When Liu Yan was there, he was able to suppress one or two. When he left, Liu Zhang could not convince the public, and Zhang In Liu Zhang's place, it is not important. There are many Yizhou officials who judge people by their appearance. Zhang Song's appearance is strange, and it has become an insurmountable mountain on his way forward, but these can't hide Zhang Song's talent. Whether it is eloquence or strategy in his chest, Zhang Song is good.

In the post station, Zhang Song couldn't sleep for a long time. He touched the things that were close to his body and felt a little relieved. This would be a stepping stone for him to enter the Xiliang Army. As for Liu Yan and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, he had nothing to do with him. Before he came, the family affairs had been taken care of. I believe that his family had When I arrived in Chang'an, with the protection of the Xiliang Army, my family was extremely safe and I didn't have to worry about it.

"With power, you must have power, so that all the Yizhou officials who used to laugh at themselves can only admire themselves. The Zhang family in Yizhou will also become more glorious because of their status." Zhang Song said secretly.

With the geographical map of Xichuan and Dongchuan, Zhang Song was sealed with a small official position and temporarily lived in Luoyang City. The workmanship of the two maps is naturally not as detailed as that of the Xiliang army, but the victory above is beneficial to the distribution of the state guards and the number of troops in each city, which is for the Xiliang army to attack Yizhou. It plays a vital role.

"Remot Yizhou?" Jia Xu was shocked and said, "Your Holiness, Yizhou is the country of heaven. In the past, Han Gaozu used this place as the foundation to dominate the world. At the beginning, Liu Yan also had such an idea. It's just that the land of Yizhou is mostly a pass, which is not good for the cavalry to attack the city. I hope the saint will consider it carefully."

"Don't think too much about it. This matter will be handled by the Ministry of War. As soon as you pay for food and fodder expenses, you can apply to the Ministry of Household. You can handle it by yourself, and finally show it to me." Jia Rong waved his hand and motioned Jia Xu to leave.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment. After saluteing, he left the palace.

Jia Rong's order was too simple. In the past, whenever there was a war in the Xiliang Army, Jia Rong would participate in the specific plan. Unexpectedly, now he handed over all the affairs to the officials in the court. Such decentralization can be said to be broad-minded. Jia Xu did not think that Jia Rong was lazy at all. He was an official in the court. Member, when entrusted with an important task, it means how much the emperor cares about him, and how many people can't ask for it.

It is a matter of great importance to capture Yizhou. What's more, at this time, the Xiliang Army has soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, confronts Liu Bei in Jingzhou, and confronts Cao's army in Dong County. If it attacks Yizhou again, it will open up three battlefields. No matter how strong the Xiliang Army's heritage is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support.

Liu Yan in Yizhou, died of illness and death on the bed half a month later. The Han clan, who saw the spirit of the emperor in Yizhou, finally failed to become the emperor as he wanted. He was not as good as Liu Biao. At least Liu Biao also participated in the battle against the Xiliang Army, and Liu Yan was always stuck in the same place.

After Yizhou mourned, according to Liu Yan's order, he respected Liu Yan as the new master of Yizhou, the king of Hanzhong. In fact, Liu Yan, the king of Hanzhong, did not have the idea of putting Hanzhong in his palm, but everything was complicated. Liu Yan did not have the courage to cut the mess quickly. He delayed again and again, and there was the current situation.

Yizhou is one of the three largest prefectures and counties in the world. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Yizhou is captured, it is equivalent to having a large base. In those years, the Qin Emperor was able to unify the world without the credit of Yizhou.

Moreover, Liu Zhang has just succeeded to the throne, and it is difficult to win the trust of officials and ministers in a short period of time. There are many intrigues. It is this opportunity for the Xiliang Army to enter Yizhou, otherwise it will be difficult to attack when Liu Zhang recovers.

At this time, Huang Zhong's situation in Dongjun was a little embarrassed. After all, there were 80,000 troops in the city, and he only had 40,000. Although he dared to provoke Cao's army, Cao's army ignored it. I would stick to the city and see what you can do, but the consumption of 80,000 troops was not a small number, and there were many Xiliang cavalry in the rear, which was annoying. It's annoying.

In the end, Cao Cao decided to fight a decisive battle with Huang Zhong. The two sides agreed on the location of the decisive battle and began to prepare for the battle.

After Huang Zhong received Cao Cao's letter of war, he did not feel strange. He agreed that the Xiliang Army could not be a soft egg that everyone could come forward. What's wrong with 80,000 people? Even 100,000 people, Huang Zhong also dared to fight. His morale was high, banned and moderate training. If such a soldier can't win, it would be Cao Juntai. It's too brave.

The weather was a little gloomy. It seemed that the sky also felt the fighting spirit of the armies of both sides. The wind kept blowing, rolling up dust and leaves and flying all over the sky.

Nothing can stop the will of the two armies from fighting.

Huang Zhong dispatched 30,000 troops, Cao's army dispatched 50,000, and nearly 100,000 people on the battlefield, which can be said to be shocking.

The flag danced, and the Xiliang Army moved forward with neat steps. At the front was a soldier with a huge shield, with a bright long gun in his hand, ready to devour the enemy at any time.

After the shield soldiers are the archers, and the archers are the real backbone of the battle. Yes, Huang Zhong wants to defend with the shields, and then invade with the bows and arrows. After that, he rushes forward with heavy infantry and stays with the cavalry on the left and right wings of the army. As long as there is a chance, he will immediately go forward to fight.

The flag danced, the sound of drums shook the sky, and the soldiers from both sides began to fight.

Elite weapons can certainly increase a soldier's chances of survival on the battlefield, but on the battlefield of nearly 100,000 people, the death of a soldier seems so insignificant. Human life is as cheap as a dog. Here, life is the least valuable thing and may be deprived at any time.
