With his physical skills reaching Wang Yue's level, the city wall can no longer be an obstacle. Not only that, the assassination in Wang Yue's hands is absolutely invincible. He sneaked into the city quietly without causing any waves. This skill alone is worthy of all the princes. Moved. Usually having such a team, with nothing to do, is sent to the enemy to carry out assassinations, which is enough to cause panic. This is also the reason why the assassinations and lone wolves were dispatched at the same time in the past, which shocked the princes of the Central Plains. You cannot always He always leads enough guards to guard him on the left and right, and if he is sparse, these masters might get into the middle of the guards. Wang Yue came to the city just to inquire about information. Cao Cao was extremely knowledgeable about the methods of the Xiliang Army. He was definitely the strongest in protecting the generals and counselors. Facing the tortoise-like city, Huang Zhong did not show any anxiety. Instead, he kept ordering the cavalry to beat the autumn wind on the battlefield, so that Cao Jun did not dare to transport food and grass easily. In this way, Dongjun became an isolated city unless Cao Cao If Huang Zhong led the army to come to the rescue, he would be able to trap Cao's army in the city. The Liang Kingdom has the support of merchants and is extremely powerful. They provide food and grass back-up. Some merchants are responsible for free delivery. These people all want to gain some status in the chamber of commerce. In this era, the status of merchants is very low, and they even go out. The clothes you wear when you are young should not be gorgeous, you can only enjoy yourself in the house. After you have money, you will naturally be keen on power, and this chamber of commerce organized by the government just satisfies the small vanity of the businessman, and becomes a member of the chamber of commerce. , when the status is reached, you can choose to take a carriage or a sedan when going out. This kind of treatment is absolutely unprecedented. Jia Rong doesn't care what these businessmen think. Businessmen have a very important status for a country. No matter which emperor suppresses businessmen, this can never be changed. Businessmen have a low status, but they can bring prosperity to the country. Jia Rong Naturally, Rong wouldn't mind giving some status to the merchants, so that merchants all over the world would know that Liang Guo's treatment was good. The establishment of the Liang Kingdom is definitely a major event in the world. Although some rules of the Han Dynasty have not been changed too much, the establishment of a country is of extraordinary significance. There are many people who climb the dragon and follow the phoenix. If you want to be a founding hero, you might be able to be named a prince when Jia Rong rewards his ministers, and your family will immediately become prominent. "General Huang, Xun Yu is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and there are powerful generals in the city to help him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture, so why not use that kind of weapon." Ma Chao asked. Huang Zhong frowned slightly. He had certainly heard about what happened between Ma Chao and Lu Bu. Huang Zhong actually admired this young general who had made a big splash in the Xiliang Army. Thinking back then, at his age At that time, he was just an unknown person in Jingzhou. Moreover, Ma Chao's own martial arts and talents are very good. He has expressed his opinions many times in military classes. Compared with Lu Bu, a fierce general who only knows the supremacy of force, of course, this is just as a coach. Some of Huang Zhong's opinions are that Lu Bu is a fierce general of the Liang Kingdom. Such a character is enough to make the army burst out with strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. Huang Zhong has to admit this. "General Ma, that kind of weapon can only be used as little as possible. This is also what the Holy Lord ordered before leaving. There are many capable people and strangers in Cao's army. If they know the weakness of this weapon, our army will have the advantage , will also be greatly weakened, which is a situation that the Holy Emperor does not want to see," Huang Zhongdao. Ma Chao clasped his fists and said: "General, as a vanguard of the army, you should charge into the battle. Since the morale of the army is available, why not capture Dongjun in one fell swoop and destabilize Cao's army. In this way, the prestige of the Liang Kingdom will be known to the world." Huang Zhong shook his head slightly and rejected Ma Chao. The suggestion is that the battlefield is not a matter of emotion. Every decision means losses for yourself and the enemy. Especially in battles on the battlefield, a wrong decision can even ruin the entire team. "Cao's army has 50,000, and our army has 40,000. The number of soldiers is smaller than that of Cao's army. Moreover, Cao's army has the advantage of the city, so we need to take advantage of it slowly." Although Ma Chao disagreed with Huang Zhong's view, he believed that the old general lacked the edge to fight. With Rui's momentum, he had to admit that Huang Zhong's words made sense, not to mention that once Huang Zhong decided on something, it was difficult to change it, but he had military orders like mountains. The Xiliang army outside the city repeatedly provoked, and Cao Jun in the city was also bloody. The two sides fought, and the Xiliang army won every time. This also made Cao Jun dare not go out of the city to fight with the Xiliang army. There are various forms of fighting. A sneak attack to cut off the food road is very fatal. But at the critical moment, the army in the city cannot be tolerated without leaving the city to fight the Xiliang army. This is also Huang Zhong's strategy, so that the food and grass in the city will be exhausted. At that time , is when the Xiliang army shows its sharp fangs, and it will become easier to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop. The war in Jingzhou is coming to an end, and the food and grass in the city have been exhausted.It was difficult to sustain for too long, and even consumable items such as arrows, wood, and boulders were about to be insufficient. Cao Chun even ordered the houses of the people in the city to be demolished and used for military purposes, which shows the determination of Cao Jun. Jia Rong was in the palace and kept receiving intelligence from the front. There were great Confucian teachers like Cai Yong serving in Liang State. All the etiquette was already understood. Except for the lack of eunuchs in the palace, everything else was already in place. The palace maids continued to enter the palace through selection. The palace, which used to be desolate, gradually became lively. Seeing the money being spent like running water, Jia Rong's heart ached. This was not the consumption on the battlefield, but the consumption in the palace. daily expenses. However, Cai Yong and other officials in the court were very insistent on this. They believed that royal etiquette should not be lost, and they would not hesitate to waste money. They also advised Jia Rong to form a Shaofu to be responsible for the expenses of the palace, aiming to make the palace The small warehouses are distinguished from the warehouses of the entire country. With a reputation, there will naturally be no shortage of talented people to come and seek refuge. What¡¯s more, the current Liang Kingdom is showing a prosperous situation. It is an ideal place for many businessmen and families to seek refuge. In addition to their great business, they are not willing to be affected by the Xiliang army. In addition to the large families with a set of restrictions, there are quite a few businessmen who go to Luoyang to do business. After some planning, the streets of Luoyang became wider, enough to accommodate eight horses driving abreast. The official roads, the roads used by the people, and the roads for emergency information transmission were clearly distinguished. Four streets separated Luoyang. After becoming the emperor, Jia Rong truly realized how free his previous life was. The great cause of Liang's country meant that there were more big things to deal with. Sometimes, even a trivial matter would be brought up by officials in the DPRK. This also gave Jia Rong the idea of ??decentralizing power. In the three-study and six-department system, the Shangshu Province has the greatest power because it is in charge of the specific implementation of the imperial edict and has six ministries under its jurisdiction. It is the largest department of power. However, Jia Rong did not establish a Shangshu Province. The purpose of the Ling position was to avoid excessive power in the hands of officials in the DPRK and central government and to divide the imperial power. If you don't become an emperor, you will never understand the feeling of having great power. Whenever you go to court in the morning, he will accept the kneeling of hundreds of officials, which gives Jia Rong a feeling of having great power and the world in his hands. He wakes up to hold the power of the world and lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman. , the pinnacle of life is nothing more than this. No wonder there are many people who are willing to sacrifice everything for this throne. Even if they know they will die, there are still so many people flocking to it. Among the three provinces, the power of the Shangshu Province was gradually increased by Jia Rong. Among them, the handling of political affairs aroused the resistance of officials. In their view, major national affairs should be reviewed and approved by the emperor in person. How could they be left to the court? The officials of the Central Government will handle it. In this way, if the officials of the Shangshu Province deliberately deceive the Holy Emperor, it will definitely be more serious than the disaster of the eunuchs. The eunuchs only operate in the palace, but the officials of the Central Government can contact the frontier armies. Once an official With great power in your hands and military support from outside, it is inevitable that you will do something outrageous. With Jia Rong¡¯s insistence, the Shangshu Province began to handle state affairs. Only some major matters would be reviewed by Jia Rong personally. It was like the situation where Jia Rong delegated power when the Xiliang army was in Chang¡¯an. However, at this time, Liang's national power was at its peak, its military strength was strong, and the military power was tightly controlled by Jia Rong. Without his order, there would be no thought of transferring any army, and there would be no situation of powerful ministers. ??A country that has just been established has fresh and energetic blood, and is full of vitality. The Ministry of Secretariat has become a very popular department in the Liang Kingdom. Not to mention other things, just the fact that it has the most contact with the Holy Sage is worthy of many officials breaking their heads and trying to squeeze in. The system of the Liang Kingdom is there. If you want to enter the center of power, just To have sufficient merits, officials must have political achievements when they govern the local area. In Nanyang County, after holding on for nearly two months, the food and grass in the city was only enough for the soldiers for three days, arrows and other supplies had been used up, and even the houses of the people in the city were demolished. Every night, You can always see people living in the open air on both sides of the street. During this period, there were also riots by the people, which were suppressed by Cao Jun with strong methods. Then Tian Chou came out to talk to the family, and Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, but nothing happened. Accident. Outside Nanyang City, 60,000 Xiliang troops were waiting in full formation. Among the central army, Zhao Yun was flanked by a thousand black-armored cavalry. The flag they held high stood out from the crowd. The wolf on it seemed to be alive, with scarlet eyes and blood-red teeth. Lifelike, successive sieges have caused the army to lose more than 10,000 people and thousands of people were injured and disabled. "Huh, Cao Chun finally couldn't help but want to leave the city?" Zhao Yun said with a cold snort. "Exactly, there must be very little food and grass left in the city. Even the houses in the city are probably almost demolished. Without the support of food and grass, a mutiny will occur sooner or later. It is also wise for Li Dian and Cao Chun to go out of the city to fight our army. Move." Guo Da agreed.
