The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 156 Gou Xi’s choice
Soon Liu Kun calmed down the Duan brothers, and then asked the official Mohan to arrange for the Duan brothers to return to their own tribe to win over the tribe and seek help.

The Mohan family has been in business for generations and has accumulated assets worth tens of millions. They are famous wealthy businessmen in the North.

Therefore, they have their own network of relationships in the northern land. On the surface, it seems that the Duan brothers have nothing except the Duan Xianbei name.

But for Mo Han, having the names of the Duan brothers can connect the dots and integrate the power of the Duan Xianbei.

And by helping the Duan family to revive Xianbei in this way, Liu Kun would have a basis for handling the Duan brothers.

There is no way, now Liu Kun is trapped in Jinyang, his hands are weak, but he is particularly good at dealing with foreign forces.

The only thing he can do is to draw strength from repeated attacks to strengthen himself. After the attacks of Liu Yao and Liu Can, Liu Kun's biggest problem is not the size of his territory, but the lack of Han population under his command.

There was not enough Han population, which made Liu Kun dare not easily drive the foreign races, but could only maintain the checks and balances among the foreign races by seeking skin from the tiger.

"The only good news is that Wang Jun will never take this breath, and he will definitely find an opportunity to deal with Liu Tai!"

Liu Kun took a deep breath. He wanted to take advantage of the fire in the battle between Wang Jun and Liu Tai.

In fact, just as Liu Kun expected, Wang Jun also judged Liu Tai's difficulty, and because he felt that time would not wait for me, under Wang Ti's plan, he first traded with Shi Le to stabilize Shi Le.

Because Shi Le was short of food and expected Wang Jun to fight Liu Tai, he patiently continued to sweep the corners of the surrounding counties and counties, but the progress was not fast.

It can be said that both Shi Le and Liu Kun are looking forward to a big fight between Liu Tai and Wang Jun.

Because their development potential has been limited, if Liu Tai and Wang Jun don't fight again, they may not have any development potential.

And if the weaker one takes the initiative to take action against either Wang Jun or Liu Tai.

If you succeed, you will be a wedding dress for others; if you fail, you will be cannon fodder for others.

So instead of moving around, it is better to stay still and wait for the opportunity. After all, Wang Jun is 60 years old.

In particular, Shi Le even asked whether to assassinate Wang Jun, but Zhang Bin suppressed him.

Zhang Bin said that Liu Tai and Shi Le are now ready to attack and are full of vigilance. Regardless of themselves, Liu Kun or Xianbei, if they take action against any one of them, they will be suspected of forming an alliance with the other party, and they will be fully punished when the time comes. Counterattack in order to scare the monkeys.

So, think of ways to lay your foundation now and wait for the right time.

For the small forces around them, it doesn't matter who falls when Wang Jun and Liu Tai fight, and they can take advantage of the opportunity.

Of course, it would be better if both sides suffered irreparable losses.

It can only be said that the north at this time has more or less developed to a certain extent, waiting for the birth of the northern overlord.

Wang Jun also knew the careful thoughts of the surrounding forces. Of course, it was not impossible to wipe out these forces before attacking Liu Tai.

But the real problem is that Wang Jun is somewhat worried that Liu Tai will take advantage of his opportunity to send troops to send troops to himself.

Therefore, it would be better to fight Liu Tai head-on and kill Liu Tai. Others would not dare to attack him again. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to eat Liu Tai together?

So it was enough to stabilize Shi Le a little. Wang Jun personally sent people to Sima Rui's place in a generous manner. The purpose was to mediate the hidden fight between Gou Xi and Sima Rui, so that Gou Xi could free up his hands to attack Liu Tai with him!

Pei Xian looked at Gou Xi and said, "Please take a break from the war with Xu Gong, the general, and join forces with the king's governor to attack Liu Tai from the north and the south.

This young Qingzhou tiger must not be allowed to continue to grow, otherwise no one in the world can resist its edge! "

When Gou Xi heard Pei Xian's words, she couldn't help but remain silent.

To be honest, he knew that he couldn't deal with Liu Tai, but if he could kill Liu Tai with the help of Wang Jun, Gou Xi really wouldn't mind.

For Wang Jun, if he kills Liu Tai, he will be able to dominate the world and even directly proclaim himself emperor. He has even prepared the dragon robe, and he wants to be the emperor even if your Sima family is so unscrupulous, why can't I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, be the emperor? .

For Gou Xi, killing Liu Tai would be like trapping the dragon into heaven.

After all, Gou Xi knows his own business. No matter who he fights, his army is always strong.

But only when facing Liu Tai, you must think carefully, because as long as there is a stalemate, you will lose.

For a general, isn't this considered an insult? So Gou Xi and Wang Jun have the same desire to fuck Liu Tai.

Pei Xian looked at Gou Xi's silence and thought that Gou Xi was wondering whether Xu Gong would sneak up on him from behind.

At this moment, Pei Xian said decisively, "I visited Zuo Prime Minister Sima Rui before coming to Xuzhou and got assurance from him.

After the general raises his troops, he will definitely restrain Xu Gong so that the general will not have any worries! "

"Do you believe the Sima family's guarantee?" Gou Xi couldn't help but ask after hearing Pei Xian's words.

Hearing this, Pei Xian was suddenly choked up, and smiled bitterly for a while: "How should the general believe it?

You can't let Prime Minister Zuo bring Xu Gong's head to the general before the general believes it! "

Pei Xian was also very helpless. Following the Yongjia Rebellion and Yiguan's journey south, the aristocratic families suddenly discovered that the aristocratic families that originally thought they were strong were actually so fragile when they encountered barbarians who did not follow the rules at all.

Without the protection of the country, the children of the aristocratic families who thought they were superior to others were so weak in the rebel army.

Every self-righteous talented person cannot even protect himself. Every member of the family can't help but ask himself, when did the family become so fragile?

Only then did they realize that they had always thought that as a noble family they were the masters of the entire China, but in fact it was China that protected the noble family.

But when Sima became emperor by breaking promises, treason, and killing people in the street, they couldn't even come up with an idea that the world's famous families could wholeheartedly accept.

Therefore, all the Sima family can offer are benefits, benefits that are so rich that all the aristocratic families in the world can shut up.

But if you use advantage to join forces, when the benefits are exhausted, they will be dispersed; if you use power to join forces, if the power is gone, they will collapse.

The Sima family used to rely on power and interests to win over aristocratic families of all sizes.

But are these aristocratic families convinced?

As for the Sima family's promise, I'm afraid it has long become a joke.

Who would take such a royal family seriously in such troubled times?

As long as anyone who has read history books will believe the guarantee made by Sima Rui!
Unfortunately, Gou Xi had never read it at first, but after being captured by Liu Tai, he was given a make-up course.In addition to teaching "Han Shu" to Gou Xi's officers, large and small, Liu Tai tried to awaken their national will.

Liu Tai also asked some historians to popularize the wonderful stories of how the Sima family usurped the throne, violated promises and tricked the marquis, and assassinated the emperor on the street, which directly helped them completely subvert their unsound three views.

This part of the history of the Western Jin Dynasty is not completely concealed, but at least it will not be actively publicized. Of course, there must be records in the family.

Not to mention, the Yingchuan Chen family must have severely recorded the dark history of the Sima family, so it has been suppressed by the Western Jin Dynasty.

As for Gou Xi and his subordinates, most of them came from the bottom.

There was no way, those people from aristocratic families did not mix with Gou Xi, so Gou Xi could only try his best to promote some wealthy people or good family members who performed well under him.

And after these people have received a good historical education, if they can still trust the Sima family wholeheartedly and serve the Sima family wholeheartedly, then Liu Tai can only say that the boiling sheep are afraid that they will worship him when they see him.

Of course, it would be unrealistic for them to completely believe Liu Tai and come over immediately.

But there must be seeds of doubt left in their hearts, especially as the world becomes more chaotic and the more disasters Bai suffers, the higher their suspicion and resistance to the Sima family will become.

At first, they had some intention of working hard for the Jin Dynasty, but now that they heard the news that Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty, Sima Chi, was killed, the people under Gou Xi's command were more or less relieved, because they also resisted doing so. Such a Sima clan fight.

Gou Xi was silent for a while and then said, "If I were asked to take the initiative to send troops to block Wang Jun's gun, then forget it.

At most, after I receive the news that Wang Jun is sending troops, I will send troops to Langya County to threaten Taishan County and provide support! "

"This..." Hearing Gou Xi's words, Pei Xian was both happy and a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, Pei Xian couldn't help but say, "Is it true that the general cannot enter Qingzhou?"

After hearing Pei Xian's words, Gou Xi said, "Wang Jun asked me to help him. Are these two counties reluctant to do so?"

"As for the general, the governor will not let the general down!" Pei Xian looked at Gou Xi and said,
"General, please rest assured and wait until winter is approaching and the river freezes over. That will be the day when our army and horses from Youzhou set foot on Qingzhou!
I also hope that the general will not break the promise! "

"You think I'm Sima!" Gou Xi sneered and said with some disdain to Pei Xian.

Pei Xian was not annoyed, he just saluted Gou Xi and left soon after.

Watching Pei Xian leave, Gou Xi turned around and said, "He's gone, come out!"

At this time, Gou Chun came out from behind and said, "Brother, do you want to agree to Wang Jun's attack on Duke Liu?!"

"My heart has gone to Liu Tai's grandson, I am your brother!" Gou Xi said to Gou Chun fiercely,

"Go back to Liu Tai's place and tell Liu Tai's grandson what you saw and heard, and treat it as if I have thanked him for the kindness of being alive!"

"Brother..." Gou Chun was a little confused when he heard Gou Xi's words and did not understand Gou Xi's decision.

"Wang Jun relied on the prestige of the Wang family in Taiyuan, but he only snitched on the villain's son and stole the opportunity to make a living, so he had such a military power.

Others don’t know Liu Tai’s strength, so don’t I?
Even if Wang Jun has the advantage of cavalry, I think Wang Jun only has a [-]-[-] chance of winning against Liu Tai! "

Gou Xi said with a serious look, "What can you do to help this kind of person! I am ashamed to be associated with him!"

"In this case, brother just needs to refuse Wang Jun's envoy. Why do you need me to inform Duke Donglai about this?!"

Gou Chun looked at Gou Xi with some worry at this moment and said, "Brother, where are you planning to put Chun in!?"

"Because I really want to defeat Liu Tai!" Gou Xi said to Gou Chun,
"I don't know whether Liu Tai is Ming Zhu, but after Sima Yue, I no longer have the intention to pursue Ming Zhu.

All I want to think about now is to kill Xu Gong. If I can kill Liu Tai easily, it would be even better!

If not, the future is uncertain in these troubled times, so you and I should be separated and just treat each other as the Zhuge clan’s ministers. "

"If this is the case, then Chun Chun will set off back to Qingzhou tomorrow to report the matter to the county magistrate!" Gou Chun said with a serious expression.

"Wait a minute!" Gou Xi said with a serious look, "It's still too early to attack Liu Tai. Even if you go back early, it will be meaningless. You might as well do something else that will affect our Gou family forever!"

"What's the matter?" Gou Chun heard Gou Xi's words and said seriously.

"Papa papa!" Gou Xi clapped her hands heavily, and soon the guards came over with a group of charming young women.

At this time, Gou Chun vaguely felt some bad thoughts and said, "Brother... is this?"

"You know my body!" Gou Xi said with a bit of helplessness and a bit of melancholy,
"Although I recognize Liu Tai's ability in training and commanding troops, I think Wang Jun will probably lose to Liu Tai in a fight with Liu Tai.

But Liu Tai does not reuse the family, and is even a bit harsh on the family, so I am not optimistic about Liu Tai's future.

However, I know your temperament. Since you have decided to follow Liu Tai's grandson, I will naturally not stop you, but you must at least leave blood to my Gou family.

I have managed to get these young women in these days, and they are all healthy and living smoothly.

I originally wanted to come to you again in a few days to talk about this matter, but now, since you want to return to Qingzhou, let’s start from today.

Whenever one of them gets pregnant, you can go back to Qingzhou! "

"What! Brother, don't be joking!" Gou Chun couldn't help but said after hearing Gou Xi's words, "What do you think I am!"

"Think of it as a family heirloom!" Gou Xi said calmly, "If you want to separate the Gou family, you have to keep your bloodline.

What if one day the powerful families in the world join forces with the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty to annihilate Liu Tai? What if you die too!
So, you think I'm kidding you?hehe! "

After Gou Xi said this, he took a few steps outside and said slowly, "It's only June and July now, and there's still at least one season left before the winter when the river freezes. You can still confirm whether you have a happy pulse if you work hard." of!

And as long as the river is not frozen, I will not send troops, but if you are slow to act, don't blame my brother for preventing you from leaving! "

After Gou Xi finished speaking, she slowly closed the door to the room, with a somewhat proud smile on her lips.

Gou Chun watched Gou Xi slam the door shut, and then looked at the group of beautiful young women whose clothes were getting looser approaching them step by step, and said calmly:

"Mr. Donglai, I will devote my whole life to your great cause!"
