Chapter 48: Li Ru is back
Updated: 2012-11-04
Jiang Yu still refused as usual. In Jiang Yu's eyes, he was just Jia Rong's entourage, Jia Rong was his master, but Jia Rong had an order and refused to refuse, so he dared not to be a brother to Jia Rong.
Jia Rong, who is familiar with Jiang Yu's habits, did not continue to persuade him and said, "Brother Jiang, I will hold a war act tomorrow. The war is about cavalry fighting soldiers in the trapped camp. What do you think about this?"
After hearing Jia Rong's words, Jiang Yu felt excited. The reputation of soldiers in the camp now shocked the entire Western Liang army. He defeated Hua Xiong, the number one general of the Western Liang army. Of course, he wanted to see it. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to train cavalry every day, he would have gone to the camp to personally learn about it. Fighting with soldiers in the camp could also promote better progress of the cavalry. Jiang Yu hurriedly thanked Jia Rong.
The next day, the drill between the cavalry and the soldiers of the camp were held very well. Jiang Yu was also very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers of the camp. He claimed that he was the strongest infantry he had ever seen and was very difficult to fight with his 500 cavalry.
After such a big battle, Jia Rong also discovered some shortcomings of the soldiers in the trap camp.
The loss ratio of cavalry to infantry on the battlefield is about one to five, which means that only one cavalry will be lost if the loss of five infantry is lost.
Jia Rong looked at Jiang Yu and said, "I wonder what Brother Jiang thinks after seeing this war between soldiers? If Brother Jiang's opinion is, how should he fight this battle?"
Jiang Yu said: "If I were to lead the cavalry to attack, I would definitely divide all the soldiers who were trapped in the formation and defeat them one by one."
Hearing Jiang Yu's answer, Jia Rong laughed and said, "Brother Jiang is such a bad word. What the soldiers in the camp focus most on is the cooperation between soldiers. If all the soldiers in the camp divide, it will be a hundred soldiers in the camp. Are you confident that the five cavalrymen will defeat me a small army? What's more, the soldiers in the camp wear hard armor and hold sharp weapons."
Jiang Yu was speechless, and Jiang Yu also knew that the soldiers in the formation were the most important cooperation, but splitting all the soldiers and killing them was the best way for the cavalry to charge. When confronting soldiers in the formation camp, the impact of the cavalry could not be exerted, and the individual combat ability was not as good as a small formation. When encountering such a soldier, the best way was to circumvent. If they were really entangled with them, their cavalry would be miserable.
Jiang Yu whispered: "Then you can run away. Bei Zhi doesn't believe that those soldiers can still catch up with the cavalry!"
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Jia Rong smiled and said softly: "Actually, I have a way to break this army."
When Jiang Yu heard Jia Rong say this, he immediately became energetic and kept begging Jia Rong to tell him what method was.
Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said, "It's not the time to tell you. When the time comes, I will definitely tell Brother Jiang."
Seeing Jia Rong say this, Jiang Yu did not force it. Although Jiang Yu felt very itchy, Jia Rong was his master. He could not be arrogant and could only wait until he had the chance to ask Jia Rong again.
After the drill that day, Jia Rong gathered all the generals of the camp together, discussing the shortcomings shown by the soldiers of the camp in today's drill, as well as how to correct the next training.
In the following days, Jia Rong's troops were training in an orderly manner, and the soldiers worked very hard. After the soldiers in the camp defeated Huaxiong, the soldiers in the camp also had a courageous spirit that they had not had before. No one else could do, and the whole team could make others feel their extraordinaryness when they stood there.
Jia Rong also followed Jiang Yu to train his horse's ability to rush on horseback, constantly asking Jiang Yu for the skills of rushing on battlefields. He learned very seriously. It has to be said that Jia Rong is indeed very talented and is very good at learning the skills of rushing on horseback. But the only thing that made Jia Rong dissatisfied was that he could not control the balance of his body at the horse's speed. After talking about this to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu also expressed helplessness because he also had such a situation. It was just that he grew up on horseback and had excellent riding skills so that he could handle it freely on war horses.
In fact, Jia Rong also knew the reason for this, that is, the problem of stirrups. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, stirrups were not passed down to the world; stirrups were a good thing. With stirrups, soldiers' combat capabilities could be directly doubled. Stirups could allow soldiers to do various movements more freely on horseback, increasing soldiers' ability to charge on the battlefield.
But now is not the time. Jia Rong thought that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, he might have an army and then instructed his army to use stirrups generally. This is also the capital that he can save his life in troubled times. No matter what, Jia Rong still has selfish intentions.
It was not until Jiang Yu kept shaking Jia Rong that Jia Rong woke up from the daze just now. Looking at Jiang Yu with a careful look on his face, Jia Rong quickly explained to Jiang Yu that he was distracted just now, and Jiang Yu then breathed a sigh of relief.
One month later, the Han court sent an imperial edict to remove Dong Zhuo from being fully responsible for the battle with the Yellow Turban thieves in Guangzong. Huangfu Song, who was victorious in the Battle of Changshe, led the Han army to fight with the Yellow Turbans. The Han emperor did not punish Dong Zhuo, which stated that Dong Zhuo had made merits in fighting with the Yellow Turban thieves. His merits and demerits were offset, and he would not be rewarded or punished. After all, when Huangfu Song was fighting with the Yellow Turban thieves in Changshe, Dong Zhuo sent Jia Rong to support and made extraordinary achievements.
Dong Zhuo once again received the angels solemnly, and did not forget to take care of them before leaving. Although Dong Zhuo was a rough Western Liang officer, he also understood the reason why there were people in the court who were easy to do, so he was very polite to the little yellow gate who came to announce the imperial edict. Dong Zhuo was very good at being a human being, so the Hanting Court did not investigate the unfavorable situation of the battle with the Yellow Turban this time. The eunuchs in the court all spoke good things for Dong Zhuo. In the hearts of the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo was from the same camp as them, so he helped Dong Zhuo.
Half a month later, Li Ru rushed back to the Xiliang army from Luoyang, and Huangfu Song also led his subordinates to Guangzong to take over the battle between the Xiliang army and the Yellow Turban Army.
Late at night that day, Jia Rong, Hua Xiong, Guo Si and other important generals of the Western Liang army were summoned to the tent by Dong Zhuo. Unlike before, Li Ru returned.
Dong Zhuo stood up from the commander's throne and said, "Now, all the battle between our army and the Yellow Turbans has been handed over to General Huangfu Song. After the army rested for a few days, I will lead me to Hedong. I wonder what suggestions are the generals?"
The generals answered in unison: "But by the general's order!"
After Li Ru's eyes swept over each general, he said sinisterly: "Who is the general who does not want to follow the general to Hedong and can stay to fight against the Yellow Turbans. The Xiliang Army will never force it."
Listening to Li Ru's tone, the generals helped to express their willingness to follow the Xiliang army to Hedong. No one in the Xiliang army was afraid of Li Ru. If Dong Zhuo was a tiger, then Li Ru was a wolf, a wolf lurking in the dark. Maybe you will be targeted by him at any time.
When Li Ru's eyes swept over Jia Rong, his face calmed down a lot. If Jia Rong had not made great achievements in Changshe, this time the Western Liang army would have been unable to escape punishment. He also convinced the eunuchs with Jia Rong's contribution in Changshe and reduced the punishment given by the court.
Afterwards, Li Ru kept Jia Rong.
Li Ru smiled and said to Jia Rong: "Zhiyuan is now famous in the court. He has made great contributions to the Yellow Turban."
Jia Rong hurriedly said, "It depends on General Dong's teachings."
In front of Li Ru, I must pretend to be respectful. Although I have done so much for the Xiliang Army, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Ru will do it for me all at once. In the Xiliang Army for so long, Jia Rong has heard of Li Ru's deeds.
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Ru changed his face and said coldly: "General Jia is famous in the court, and the Western Liang army may not be able to keep General Jia's talent!"
Jia Rong defended: "Military advisor, Rong has been in the Western Liang army since joining the army. In Rong's heart, the Western Liang army has always been my support. So when the court offered such generous conditions, I still violated the court's orders and returned to the Western Liang army. But please rest assured that Rongsheng is a member of the Western Liang army, and died as a ghost of the Western Liang army."
After saying something, even Li Ru, who has always been fond of finding faults, could not say anything. Seeing that the situation had developed to such an extent, Dong Zhuo hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Zhiyuan, the military advisor's meaning is not to doubt your loyalty, don't think too much."
Li Ru also realized that his behavior might hurt Jia Rong and said, "I would like to forgive General Jia. Just now, Ru's words were too heavy."
In fact, Li Ru just wanted to test whether Jia Rong had the idea of taking credit for himself, but he didn't expect that Jia Rong would be the generals of the army.
Jia Rong said to Dong Zhuo again: "I understand the meaning of the military advisor. It is only because I feel the grace of the general for promotion. I feel that I am so excited in my heart. I will say this. Please forgive me."
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Zhiyuan is a blessing general of my Xiliang Army, so why not talk about punishment?"
Li Ru also nodded to Jia Rong with satisfaction. Li Ru understood Jia Rong's origin. I believe that Jia Rong would definitely be grateful to Dong Zhuo from an ordinary citizen to his current state.
After Jia Rong said goodbye and left, Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo: "Congratulations to the lord for being able to obtain this good general!"
Dong Zhuo was also very happy. He didn't like to listen to good words, but he did not forget to remind Li Ru: "Wenyou, don't be so suspicious of Zhiyuan in the future. I saw Zhiyuan's efforts to the Xiliang Army. If Zhiyuan hadn't made plans to deal with the Yellow Turban Army that time, and he would have fought to the death at the critical moment, I would have lost my life long ago, and the repeated temptations would have hurt his heart."
Li Ru also agreed and said: "What the lord said is very true. If Jia Rong is not a loyal person, he must be a traitor."
