Chapter 161: Counterattack
Most of the Qiang generals had already begun to accept Jia Rong from the heart. This young Qiang-protecting captain led them to a longing for life. The reason why the Qiang people surrendered to the Han Dynasty in the past was that they wanted to live a stable life within the territory of the Han Dynasty. The lives of the Han people seemed very beautiful to all Qiang people, with a stable home and their own land, and they did not worry about food and drink.
Seeing that the purpose has been achieved, Jia Rong's mood has improved a lot. In the future, these Qiang soldiers will follow him like the soldiers of the Western Liang army. The Qiang soldiers of the Western Liang army are a good example.
Li Wenhou dismissed the generals of various divisions and killed those extreme combatants. In addition, these generals were not very satisfied with him in normal times, so they were naturally eliminated by Li Wenhou. Beigong Boyu was sent by Li Wenhou to collect the soldiers of the dead Qiang generals. Jia Rong was recognized by the Qiang people, and the happiest person was Li Wenhou. Otherwise, whether Li Wenhou chose to follow Jia Rong or follow the Qiang people would be a big problem.
Only Jia Rong and Li Wenhou were left in the central army's tent. Jia Rong asked, "This time, there are only 20,000 troops in the Qiang army?"
Li Wenhou shook his head and said, "Lord, I don't know, Han Sui's son is so deceitful. Even if I stayed in Pingxiang, I was taken away 10,000 people." Perhaps because of Jia Rong's intervention, Li Wenhou had a great resistance to Han Sui.
"Now we are back rashly, what should the Qiang soldiers who followed Han Sui do?"
Li Wenhou was moved. From now on, Jia Rong's words, he could feel that Jia Rong was indeed putting himself in his shoes to the Qiang people. It was completely different from those officials who said one thing and did another. Although Jia Rong was his lord, he could not control Li Wenhou's thoughts.
"Don't worry, lord, all the generals who followed Han Sui this time are my confidants. Before leaving, I have ordered them to try their best to station in the cities captured along the way, which is conducive to our future actions! At that time, the cities captured by Han Sui will only be given to us for free."
Jia Rong smiled and said, "Brother Wenhou is really resourceful and has considered it!"
The two discussed how to quickly occupy the counties that had been captured along the way, and Jia Rong got up and left.\\...\
In order to show the sincerity of the Qiang people, Li Wenhou led a group of Qiang generals to Pingxiang City.
When Jia Rong left, the sun was rising. After continuous conversations with the Qiang generals and discussions with Li Wenhou, it was almost noon. After talking to Li Wenhou, he forgot about Hua Xiong at the city gate.
Hua Xiong walked anxiously at the gate of Pingxiang City. The big sword in his hand changed into countless styles, constantly asking the deputy general about his views. Compared with Hua Xiong, the deputy general was much more stable, and he kept persuading Hua Xiong to wait.
Seeing Jia Rong and dozens of Qiang generals walking out of the Qiang camp in a swagger, Hua Xiong was happy, and his eyes were also flashing with excitement. In this way, the counterattack of Jincheng County that Jia Rong said last night could be realized soon. His eyes were full of admiration, and he defeated others without fighting. He was realized here with Jia Rong. He went to the enemy camp alone and persuaded the Qiang people to get 20,000 troops. This matter was enough for celebrities and later generations. Hua Xiong even regretted why he didn't go with Jia Rong, so he would have the capital to brag about with his subordinates in the future.
Since the failure of the competition with Jia Rong, in Hua Xiong's heart, Jia Rong's weight is even more important than Dong Zhuo. Compared with Dong Zhuo, Jia Rong has a kind of affinity that ordinary people cannot refuse. With ordinary soldiers, Jia Rong is a soldier. On the battlefield, Jia Rong is a tough general. But such a diverse horn has won the respect of most people. Although Dong Zhuo is brave, he is irritable in normal times and often beats or scolds him when he disagrees. Most soldiers are due to their power. The two can distinguish between the two by following at a glance.
After this incident, Hua Xiong felt that as long as Jia Rong had any orders, he would never hesitate. Even if there was a dead end ahead, Hua Xiong would dare to follow Jia Rong to face the difficulties...
The change in mentality made Hua Xiong even more respectful in front of Jia Rong. He bowed and showed no pretentiousness in everything. Hua Xiong's performance surprised Guo Si.
Jia Rong and his group returned to Pingxiang City safely, which made the Xiliang generals in the city really happy. It would be better that the soldiers at the bottom of the army knew less about such secret matters.
If there is no detail in Pingxiang City, Jia Rong would definitely not believe it. Even if these details get the news, what can I do? Now Pingxiang City is already strictly prohibited in the whole city, and no one is allowed to go out. Moreover, Jia Rong fought a time difference. Before Han Sui got the news, he would completely occupy Jincheng County.
Pingxiangcheng County Government became the command post for war. Jia Rong kept issuing a series of orders, and with the identity of the Qiang people as a cover, it became easy to defraud the city.
Li Shun was left in Pingxiang City to guard the city. Pingxiang still maintained martial law. Now it was almost time for harvest. Jia Rong even urged Li Shun to ask soldiers to help the people harvest food.
The first one to take action was Jia Rong. When the guards of the Warrior County saw the Qiang army back, he opened the city gate to greet him. The group of Qiang people who had just entered the city suddenly attacked and caught him off guard and occupied the warriors. The defenders in the city were subdued before they could resist. A thousand Qiang soldiers in the city were also persuaded to surrender by Li Wenhou. After the troops in the Warrior County were left to garrison, Jia Rong led the remaining troops to advance in Yuzhong.
There was no resistance along the way. Even though some of the guards of the city were a little suspicious, it was difficult to doubt more when they saw the vast Qiang army under the city.
In this way, in just over ten ri s, Jia Rong had already reached Yunwu, the capital of Jincheng County. In order to ensure that he could get the greatest chance of winning by cheating the city, Jia Rong led all the cavalry, and the infantry walked slowly behind him. He passed by a county town and stationed some soldiers. The division of labor was very good. Han Sui's troops who were left in each city were also rebelled by Li Wenhou, and the military strength of the Xiliang army was gradually growing.
Even if these generals guarding the city were smart, they would not have thought that Li Wenhou would turn against each other at this time, nor did they expect that the generals stationed with them in adjacent cities would help the Xiliang army to falsely claim.
The city of Jincheng County is not comparable to other counties. The city wall that is about five feet tall is daunting. Jincheng County is close to the Qiang people, and the water source here is not very sufficient, which has led to the lack of a moat in Jincheng County. However, the five feet tall city wall is not something that those Qiang people who do not have sharp weapons to attack. Han Sui took over Jincheng by most of the opportunistic tricks.
This is the most important battle since the Shiri counterattack. The purpose of taking over the county town is that the entire Jincheng County is already in his own hands.
Jia Rong put on the outfit of an ordinary soldier and mixed in the cavalry. In order to paralyze the generals guarding the city, Jia Rong and his party had only more than 200 cavalrymen, and except for Jia Rong's team, the soldiers were all Qiang people.
Jiang Yu came to the city and said in a rude manner with the skilled Qiang people. After the soldiers in the city responded, they disappeared.
After a cup of tea, the generals guarding the city came to the city wall.
Seeing this person, Li Wenhou beside Jia Rong's side hissed and said softly: "This person is Yan Xing, the number one general under Han Sui. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has extraordinary strategies. The Qiang people suffer a lot in his hands."
Jia Rong signaled Li Wenhou not to speak anymore, success or failure depends on Jiang Yu.
Yan Xing on the city was wearing a red cloak, which was so conspicuous among the soldiers. After carefully looking at the so-called Qiang general under the city, Yan Xing frowned and asked, "Who is the general?"
Jiang Yu pretended not to understand Chinese, and Jili Guru was another Qiang language.
After the soldiers on the city explained, Jiang Yu said, "I am a subordinate of General Li Wenhou. I have something important to tell you when I come to Jincheng this time. Please open the city gate."
Yan Xing said in confusion: "Has you already reached Longguan in front of you? What's the important thing to do when you come?" Obviously, Yan Xing knew very well about the situation on the battlefield ahead.
After the soldiers translated their words, Jiang Yu also clarified his thoughts and shouted loudly: "This time it was because Jia Rong from Pingxiang City. The military situation was urgent. General, let us enter the city."
Yan Xing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Jia Rong in Pingxiang City?" Yan Xing still heard about Jia Rong's incident in Pingxiang City.
Jiang Yu shouted impatiently: "Hurry open the city gate. I will run all the way and be exhausted. Otherwise, I will delay the military information. After entering the city, I will ask your general to whip you."
Instead of getting angry because of Jiang Yu's curse, Yan Xing chuckled and said, "Open the city gate!"
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the horse's reins toward the city gate, and two hundred cavalry followed closely.
Suddenly, Yan Xing on the city roared: "Close the city gate!"
The suspension bridge that was slowly falling accelerated and rose up.
Jia Rong's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that Yan Xing, who was on the city, discovered something? It seems that the county city could not be taken down so easily. Han Sui's number one general is still somewhat capable. Jincheng will become Han Sui's old nest according to the development of history. It is understandable that Yan Xing is stationed here. It seems that Han Sui, an old man, did not have any good intentions at the beginning.
Jiang Yu raised the whip in his hand and cursed loudly: "Which bastard has ordered me to lock me out of the door. When I enter the city, I will definitely peel him alive."
Yan Xing on the city sneered and said, "Is that so? I am Yan Xing, the guard in the city. I think you are clearly a Han soldier, and the archers are ready." In an instant, hundreds of archers aimed the longbow he pulled at the 200 cavalry under the city, waiting for Yan Xing to give the order.
Jiang Yu's face changed slightly, but was instantly concealed by his scolding.
Being pointed at by so many archers, Jia Rong's face was ugly. The more he was, the more calm he had to be. Jia Rong whispered to Li Wenhou: "Let the soldiers curse together."
Li Wenhou understood, and immediately, in addition to Li Wenhou Jia Rong, more than a hundred Qiang cavalry kept cursing at the city guards on the city wall, which was naturally the Qiang language.
The additional update is here, everyone works hard together, push the iron cavalry upwards, and send all the red tickets to collect! Thank you!
