Chapter 684 Captive Liu Bei

After Liu Bei heard about this matter, he remained silent. Jia Rong had decided to release Liu Bei, but this release did not cancel his imprisonment. As long as he had any action, relevant personnel would immediately come to look for trouble. Liu Bei, who used to have such a great reputation in the world, could only be in Luoyang City. He lived a careful life and turned to Zhuge Liang. He didn't have any complaints. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang was a great talent and should not die in obscurity, but also celebrities for thousands of years. If he hadn't looked around the hut at the beginning, perhaps Zhuge Liang's life trajectory would be another way.

From the fourth year of Kaiyuan to the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the princes were in a delicate balance. The activities of merchants were very frequent. Jia Rong did not have any restrictions on the merchants of the princes. As long as he paid taxes, there would be no problem.

At this time, there are only three princes left in the world, but they can't be called a three-legged tripod, because the State of Liang can launch a war at any time and bring Cao Cao and Sun Quan close to a dead end.

After several years of stability, the State of Liang launched a war. Jia Rong recruited the soldiers and horses of the world and gathered in Hanoi to calm Cao Cao in the first battle. The eyes of the whole world were focused on the State of Liang and the Cao army. This battle is related to the situation of the whole world. If the victory of the Western Liang Army, the winning army can It is easy to pacate the territory under the rule of Cao's army, and it is difficult for Sun Quan in Jiangdong to become an opponent at all. Few people are optimistic about Sun Quan. He has six counties in Jiangdong, and the soldiers are rich. Compared with the Xiliang Army, it is still worse than one level. What's more, the Xiliang Army also has a navy, and there is no suspense about the war with Jiangdong.

At this time, under the rule of Cao Jun, it can be described as economic depression. No one can understand Cao Cao's hardships. The Liang State attacked, and the grain and fodder in the treasury were difficult to support a long war. This is the most fatal for a prince. Not only that, under the rule of Cao Jun, there may be many people who secretly favored the Liang Kingdom. Businessmen, in recent years, merchants in Liangguo have developed very rapidly.

In the war launched by Liang Guo this time, the amount of direct donations from merchants reached 2 billion yuan, which not only represents the determination of Liang Guo, but also represents the confidence of the merchants in unifying the world. The newspapers in Luyang City have focused on the war in the past few days. The people's officials who ruled the whole Liang Kingdom defeated the Cao army. Full of confidence, the turmoil in the world will be resolved by the Xiliang Army.

The merchant donated 2 billion yuan, which is very fatal to Cao Cao. 2 billion yuan is enough to support 100,000 troops for several months.

Jia Rong attached great importance to this war and decided to go on a personal expedition. Maybe this is the last battle to calm down the whole world. Every battle is crucial and related to the future situation.

The main topic in the court has become the discussion of how to fight against Cao Jun. Jia Rong fully shows the temperament that the Ming Lord should have. As long as it is a useful strategy, it is all recorded. It can be said that this is the largest military operation of the State of Liang.

Jia Rong directly mobilized 400,000 soldiers and horses, bringing all the standing troops from all over the country around Luoyang, waiting for the start of the war. This large-scale war only took nearly two months for the standing troops from all over the country to gather in Luoyang.

After several years of development, the strength of Liangguo has reached its peak, mobilizing 400,000 soldiers and horses, including 80,000 cavalry.

On the day of the oath, Jia Rong appeared in front of the soldiers of the three armies. After hearing the shouts that shocked the sky, a faint smile appeared on his face. It was these soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight in the country.

"Generals and soldiers, fighting against Cao Cao is to unify the world and enable all the people to live a stable life. On the battlefield, the soldiers will sacrifice their lives to rush. They don't have to worry about what happens behind them, but if I eat a mouthful of porridge, I won't starve your family." Jia Rong's words were very simple, but they aroused the excited mood of all the soldiers, and he shouted long live.

It took about a quarter of an hour before the station gradually regained its composure.

"The Cao army is divided into three armies, the first vanguard army, the main general Zhao Yun, the commander of 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry."

"Guo Yan Huang Zhong, the commander of the second army, led 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry."

"The last commander of the army is me, leading 200,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry to fight for the peace of the world."

400,000 troops were stationed around Luoyang. When they climbed high, there were tents everywhere, dense and shocking.

After receiving the order, Zhao Yun, the commander of the first army, immediately ordered the troops and horses to go to the East County. This war is very important. Zhao Yun is also full of spirit. The named generals include Lv Bu Ma Chao and others, which can be said to be enough for soldiers.

The carriages escorted grain and fodder and materials and rushed to the front line. The three armies did not move the grain and fodder first. The daily expenditure of 400,000 troops is a huge amount, which cannot be ignored.

Three thousand cavalry, divided into hundreds of teams, scattered in the direction of Dongjun. What Zhao Yun had to do was to control the wind and grass on the battlefield and prepare for the arrival of the army.

Cao Cao learned about the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom two months ago. After being shocked, he was also ready. As early as expected, Cao Cao was also confident in his own strength. Knowing that the war with Liang was inevitable, he also mobilized all the troops.

In terms of the elite level of soldiers and horses, Cao Cao did not dare to compare with the Xiliang army. In recent years, the State of Liang has been in the process of cultivation. No one dares to ignore the influence of this fierce tiger, especially the armor and weapons of the soldiers of the State of Liang. In the past, the Xiliang Army could dominate the world, which was inseparable from this key factor. The same cavalry, It is difficult for the two princes to defeat a cavalryman of the Xiliang Army, which is the gap.

The cavalry of the Liang Kingdom continued to appear outside the East County. Cao Cao definitely ordered to withdraw all the defenders of the East County. All the soldiers and horses of Chen Liu were also mobilized and gathered near Dingtao in Jiyin County. Cao Cao knew that his strength could not be compared with the Xiliang army, and even the food and grass in the treasury could not support a large-scale battle. If you fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang Army, fight quickly, and win, you can alleviate the current crisis of Cao's army. If you lose, you are doomed to be eliminated and have no chance to dominate the world.

Cao Cao's decision, his advisers have no complaints. No one dares to ignore the influence of Liangguo at this time, not only military but also economic. The economy under the rule of Cao's army, under the influence of the Xiliang army, has no room for development, and everything must be contained. Under Cao Cao Cao's means, After being greatly exerted, Cao Cao could not eradicate all the merchants in anger.

Zhao Yunbing got Chen Liu from Dongjun, which opened up a front position for the march of the Xiliang army. The more such a large-scale battle, the more it will test whether a general is competent. Years of war have all proved that Zhao Yun is a qualified commander.

With Chen Liu and Dongjun as the forerunner, Zhao Yun fought steadily and walked slowly in the direction of Jiyin. All the enemies along the way were eradicated to ensure the stability of the army when the army marched, and there could be no mistakes. This was the goal Zhao Yun gave him.

Cao Cao's concession, in Jia Rong's expectation, if Cao Jun chose to resist in every city, it would surprise Jia Rong.

Grain and fodder and materials were slowly transported to Dong County, which will become the rear of the decisive battle of the Xiliang Army, providing the army with food and fodder supplies.

The use of food and drink of 400,000 troops is extraordinary. Almost all the merchants in Luyang City are busy. No one wants to let go of this event. Every day, you can see hundreds of carriages entering the East County, and the mountains piled up of grain and materials are rising rapidly.

There is no large-scale battle between the two sides, but the battle on the scouts has begun. Zhao Yun wants to control the movement of Cao's army at any time. Cao Cao does not want to lose the opportunity in this battle. The battle between the two sides is particularly fierce, and there are large-scale scouts of casualties every day. At this time, the two sides will no longer care so much. Every piece of information on the battlefield is related to the victory and defeat of the army.

Cao's army has 300,000, of which the number of cavalry has reached 40,000. Although it is only half of the number of cavalry in Liang, it also shows how fast Cao Cao's development has been over the years. You know, Cao's army does not have a large-scale horse farm. Many sources of war horses need to be provided by merchants, and the elimination of 40,000 cavalry It's enough for Cao Cao to build an elite army of 100,000 yuan.

The battle between the scouts between the two sides has intensified, from the initial dozens of people to hundreds of people, so that in a recent battle of nearly 1,000 people, two fierce generals of Lu Bu Machao were also sent to the battlefield to win more information for the army.

After the news of the decisive battle between Cao Jun and Liang Guo spread to Jiangdong, Sun Quan couldn't sit still. Naturally, he could see what kind of situation the world would become after this battle. No matter whether the Xiliang Army wins or loses, he is the strongest in the world. No one doubts this. At this time, it is spring, and the two sides decide. Zhan Jiyin, the strongest collision of strength.

Liang Guo is not only a soldier on the land, but also the navy has begun to mobilize. Jia Rong is very determined this time. He wants to be able to pacify Jiangdong and put the whole world in his hands at one time. He has the previous heritage of the Jingzhou Water Army, and with 50,000 people commanded by Gan Ning, his strength has far exceeded Jiangdong.

After Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's second round, he began to discuss how to attack Jiangdong. The two generals of the Liangguo Water Army met again in Jingzhou many years later, and they also faced the biggest battle of Liangguo.

At this time, the Liangguo Water Army was no longer as simple as the one with only a few boats in those years.

Twenty building ships are equipped with Thunderbolt trucks. On the appearance of the building ship, they are all wrapped in iron. Among them, five main buildings are surrounded by staggered steel. There is no doubt that when the Jiangdong navy encounters such a ship, what will happen? Cai Mao in Luyang is also sent. In the water army, Cai Mao has been in charge of the Jingzhou water army for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the water station and the Jiangdong water army.

Jiyin, with a radius of a hundred miles, has been opened up into a battlefield. Here, the growing trees and even ravines are all filled.
