Xiliang Iron Ride

Chapter 537 Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai

But where the people can eat and wear warm clothes, few people will be willing to do the business of putting their heads on their belts, robbing their families, and falling into the grass as bandits. They are either crazy or forced to. The people of China have been like this since ancient times. They will never rise up until the final juncture of life and death, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. It was forced by the laws of the Qin Dynasty that they had to rise up. If there is a little vitality, they will be wronged and complete. They will continue to live under the rule of the Qin Dynasty. The simple people will leave you, which means that this dynasty can't last long.

The prosperity of the people and the suffering of the people. The rise of a powerful dynasty is accompanied by disasters. The theorem that has not changed since ancient times, how many people died when Qiang Qin unified the princes.

After pacified Yuan Shu, Liu Biaozhi was complacent and Dafeng's officials, among which the Kuai family and the Ma family were the most important. The Cai family was gradually alienated by Liu Biao because of Cai Ling's relationship. No one wanted to put such a time bomb around him. Maybe they would turn to the Xiliang Army at any time. Anyway, the Cai family and the Xiliang army. The relatives are so determined that no matter how Cai Mao clearly says that he is separated from his sister, the only people who believe in him may be those who are close to the Cai family.

The strength of the Xiliang Army is well known all over the world. Even if the Cai family is suppressed, there are still many officials who are willing to make friends with Cai Mao. Liu Biao in Jingzhou for so many years, I'm afraid the only big move is to attack Yuan Shu this time. The previous actions are not worthy of praise at all, which is also the fundamental reason why the princes of the world despise Liu Biao. With shortcomings, the generals and officials under his command also lost their cohesion. In order to make a little profit, they always want to suppress their other families. How can such Jingzhou be far away? There are many people with bright eyes in Jingzhou.

The Cai family was suppressed in Jingzhou, but the Cai family was in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was not too embarrassed. The pillow wind blew him. In addition, the recent war was quite smooth, so he did not pay attention to Cai Mao's matter, but the Cai family will definitely no longer be reused. In the Jingzhou water army, Cai Mao's influence has also become more and more. The younger he was, Liu Biao also gradually weakened Cai Mao's power until he was not in the real Jingzhou army in the end.

After getting Yuan Shu's rule, Liu Biao's strength soared. When he fought against Jiangdong Sun Ce, he also had enough confidence. Knowing that Jiangdong Sun Ce had entered the throne of Wu after him, Liu Biao was furious. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, other surnames have not been kings, and Sun Ce's approach is no different from Yuan Shu. Provoking the authority of the Han royal family.

As a relative of the Han clan, Liu Biao was unwilling to show weakness and urged the army to fight in the Jiangdong Water Army. In name, Sun Ce naturally became a traitor and bullied the Han clan.

Recently, the two sides have been in full swing, especially Jiang Qin, a new general in the Jiangdong Army. He fought bravely and repeatedly achieved great results in the battle. Then Zhou Yu paid more and more attention to it. Jiang Qin has mastered 30 small warships in his hands. In the battle, his task is to lead the fleet to raid the enemy. In order to break the enemy as soon as possible, the small boat turns the rudder quickly and the speed is also fast. It plays an important role in the water war. It can play the role of a raid. It is not as difficult to turn around. Once approached by the small boat, the soldiers in the small boat will climb onto the big boat and then occupy a big ship. The small boat is dangerous, but it is also easy to get big. The credit.

Jiangdong Water Army has a new generation of general Jiang Qin, and the Jingzhou Water Army is also not weak. Cai Mao's influence in the army is getting smaller and smaller, but some generals still have to buy it. When Cai Mao recommended Zhou Tai to the generals of the Water Army, with his own ability, Zhou Tai quickly won a seat in the camp. Zhou Tai has repeatedly made contributions to the battle, and his official position is like a rocket. Now he is a middle general in the Jingzhou water army, commanding thousands of soldiers.

Liu Bei of Xuzhou was not supported by the reinforcements, and still refused to give up. He lost the city under him, which meant that he had lost his hard work again. Liu Bei was very unwilling. He fought for more than ten years and ended up empty. This feeling is difficult to understand. After Liu Bei was King Jing of Zhongshan, he was there all the time. Thinking about the restoration of the family life in those years, let the whole world know that there is a great figure in the Jingwang family of Zhongshan.

The situation in the Central Plains is constantly changing, and the strength of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others is gradually increasing. As a relative of the Han clan, it is the time of hard work, but the Xuzhou army has never been able to defeat Cao Jun. This fatal defect will become the foreshadowing for Liu Bei's exile again.

Zhang Fei escaped. When the guarding soldier delivered food, he was accidentally attacked and fainted. After changing into the soldiers' clothes, Zhang Fei escaped all the way out of Cao's camp. It was not until another soldier found out that Cao Cao Cao learned about this, which made Cao very angry. He recruited all kinds of fierce generals and finally escaped and strengthened the enemy. All the soldiers guarding the prison were severely punished, and even some generals were implicated and lost their official positions.

Liu Bei was overjoyed that Zhang Fei could escape from Cao's army and avoid worries. If Cao Cao used Zhang Fei as a bargaining chip in exchange for the city, what should he do? For the sake of brotherhood, he would give up Xuzhou or continue to resist. No matter what choice it is, it is not what Liu Bei would like to see.

Liu Bei had no doubt about Zhang Fei's loyalty. As soon as he entered the city, he was given the heavy responsibility of defending the city.

After being captured once, Zhang Fei also became cautious. Originally, Zhang Fei was not a rough person. On the contrary, because of the good situation at home, he also read books.

Liu Bei is also very satisfied with Zhang Fei's performance after getting back. After setbacks, maybe Zhang Fei will really grow up.

There is no unbreakable city. Under the continuous attack of the Cao army day and night, no matter what means Liu Bei has, the food and fodder in the city are running out. How to resist the Cao army, the morale of the army continues to decline. However, in half a month, there was an uproar in the city. The soldiers troubled by hunger picked up the weapons in their hands and robbed the house. The city was in the city. In chaos, someone with intentions took the opportunity to open the gate and welcome Cao's army into the city. Liu Bei and Guan Yu led thousands of soldiers to flee in confusion.

So far, Liu Bei has completely lost Xuzhou, and Li Ru has also disappeared from the stage of history and become a dead soul. Cao Cao's 100,000 troops only have 70,000 left. The siege war consumes a lot of soldiers, and it is difficult for ordinary princes to support such a long-term battle.

After getting Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not move and developed and ruled. At this time, Cao Cao had more than half of the territory of Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and was connected together. His strength was the head of the princes in the world. Many scholars compared the strength of the princes in his spare time. The Xiliang army was good at fighting, but most of them were barren land. Unable to compare with the Central Plains, Cao Cao has a land of nearly four states, and has enough soldiers and food. He can compare with the Xiliang Army without losing the wind. Over time, it is not a problem to defeat the famous Xiliang Army. The war depends not only on a strong army, but also on backup, sufficient food and fodder, elite weapons and other factors.

Under the impact of victory, Cao Cao was inevitably a little complacent. He followed the advice of the counselor and entered the position of Duke Wei without blindly proclaiming himself king.

The four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even without the appeal of the past, it still has a great influence in the hearts of ordinary people. In the imperceptibly, the people all think of themselves as Han people, and scholars take the restoration of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty as their lifelong glory. At the beginning, many scholars turned to Cao Cao and fell in the emperor. If you control the emperor, you have the banner of justice. Although the emperor was assassinated, he still has majesty.

Yuan Shao's battle in Youzhou was not smooth. He won successive victories in Shanggu County, Guangyang County, but the Wenchou army was blocked by Weilan in Dai County. I don't know when Wuhuan came out of such a demonic figure. It was only defensive power to fight Wen Chou's 20,000 troops, but no ability to counterattack. After the arrival of the Xiliang Army Wen Chou wants to pick up his tail and be a man. Who dares to be rampant in front of the Xiliang army? Even Yuan Shao should be respectful when he sees the Xiliang army. The prestige in the past is like thunder. Wen Chou is not stupid enough to provoke Yan Rou and then offend the Xiliang army.

Shanggu County of Guangyang County was all taken by the Jizhou army in three months. Shang County and Yan Rou lost contact. The only thing they relied on became the Xiliang Army that Weilan couldn't believe. Throughout Jia Rong's past battles, it was not a lot of money. When there was almost no loss, he helped Bingzhou pact the Xiongnu and took the opportunity to take Ding Tai's The power was wiped out, annexed Bingzhou, and even sent out of the Yanmen Pass, defeated the powerful Xianbei people, became the new hegemon on the grassland, established three cities, and the reputation of Danhan City, even in the mainland, is very famous.

Weilan is a talent who has not been out of the Wuhuan people for a hundred years, and he understands this point more. Of course, with the help of Jia Rong's strength, he has got Wuhuan out of the current situation and become a chess piece in Yan Rou's hand. Weilan is not sure when he will be defeated by the Xiliang army and become a piece of dust, but the Wuhuan people can't be because of a After a small Yan Rou was cut off and became a subsidiary of the Youzhou Army, Weilan also saw the so-called sincerity of the Han people, but these were carefully tolerated by him. At the critical moment, he got out of the situation of Wuhuan.

The whole world knows about the Qiang people. As the enemy of the Qiang people, Qiang people once made the Han people anxious. Jia Rong took Jiang Yu as a springboard and gradually gained the trust of the Qiang people and became a great help to the Xiliang army. Weilan also had to admire Jia Rong's courage. There is a saying that the Han people are not ours. The heart must be different. Doesn't Jia Rong know this sentence? With such a mind, moving the Qiang people to live in the territory of the Han people and treating them equally with the Han people, which not only conquered the hearts of the Qiang people, but also made the Wuhuan people yearn for it.

Jia Rong glanced at the letter in his hand and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"A hundred people, follow me into the city!" Jia Rong ordered.
