The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 165 Wang Jun sends troops
With Gao Zhan's reminder, Zhao An advanced calmly and retreated like the wind.

After all, Liu Tai's order only allowed him and others to destroy the autumn harvest. He reminded himself repeatedly not to fight with the opponent. Now that the task was completed, Zhao An retreated without any psychological burden.

However, Wang Jun's army, Qi Hong, Wang Chang, Sun Wei and other generals who were specifically responsible for the pursuit had a smooth pursuit and sweep at the beginning.

After all, this Youzhou is Wang Jun's territory. These aristocratic families may have the courage to cheat, but they will never take action to confront Wang Jun head-on, especially when the number of troops led by Zhao An is actually not large.

Even sometimes, if a village can have a garrison stationed there, it is considered to be a relatively large number.

Before the end of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family still had some integrity and integrity, but after the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty of the Sima family, the aristocratic family as a whole began to decline.

After all, if the Sima family can become emperor even though they have done so much to anger people, what is the point of being so loyal and patriotic?

In a worse world, as long as your moral integrity is lowered, the probability of survival will always be higher.

Therefore, these aristocratic families turned to Wang Jun, which made Wang Jun's army more powerful in action.

As for those aristocratic families who choose not to seek refuge with Wang Jun and have some integrity, their families will basically have their names recorded by Zaosong, and then they will be used by Wang Jun to establish the aristocratic family's prestige, letting them know that Wang Jun's majesty cannot be tolerated. Disobedient!

Therefore, at this time, the operating environment of Zhao An's troops in Youzhou suddenly became harsh.

But even so, these people didn't take advantage.

Because Zhao An immediately issued a retreat order after discovering that something was wrong.

When Zhao An's war department began to retreat, they felt what it meant to be a real light infantry!
Liu Tai naturally knew that the 14-hour emergency march was an abnormal and inhuman marching speed of 145 miles, which would be impossible for any army of this era to accomplish.

But Liu Tai's request to Zhao An's war department is that when the troops retreat, they need to be able to march sixty miles directly for at least three hours. In the process, the soldiers must not lose face.

To be honest, such a request is almost impossible for the army of this era.

Whether it is the quality of the soldiers or their willpower, it is difficult to achieve this. Anyone who has ever run knows that if you do not exercise for a long time, a 5000-meter long-distance run will even make the whole person feel like his life is overdrawn.

And the soldiers of this era would not even think of completing a sixty-mile march within three hours.

And for those who can complete it, even if they don't get a patience tag when they get into the game, they will probably get a speed tag.

It's very simple. This is the goal that Liu Tai gave Zhao An's army to complete. Therefore, compared with other front-facing armies, which need to practice military formation coordination, weapon mastery, and even fighting and fighting, Zhao An's war department is more important. It's running.

Run one hour before all training starts, run one hour after all training ends, and then, during each training assessment, a three-hour running test will be conducted to ensure that these soldiers can complete the corresponding physical test.

To be honest, in Liu Tai's opinion, running sixty miles in three hours is not very demanding.

After all, the record holder for a marathon of more than 40 kilometers is two hours, and professional athletes basically run within three hours.

Although I have shortened the running distance to sixty miles and doubled the time, at least for outstanding soldiers, even with the addition of equipment, this is definitely a goal that can be achieved with hard work, especially when escaping, it can better stimulate the body's potential. .

For this reason, the food of Zhao An's army is also very rich, including fish, meat, and even vegetables in winter. These soldiers are not lacking in nutritional supplements. As for will, to be honest, at least Liu Tai thinks that his army is not lacking in it. will.

Therefore, with such a goal, Liu Tai believes that his army can definitely run on flat ground.

Of course, on the battlefield, because the land is not flat, but undulating, no one can judge.

It doesn't matter if there is really no way to complete the sixty-mile rapid march. As long as they run in an orderly manner for three hours, they will be able to leave most of the enemies far behind them.

For example, now, when Zhao An gave the order to retreat, a famous village commander received the order and ordered to escape to the destination of Jizhou without hesitation.

And along the way of escape, they unconsciously gathered towards their own troops. As the number of people increased, they basically ran very calmly to their destination on the border between Jizhou and Youzhou, which was Wen'an County.

Zhao An ordered a rest here and waited patiently for his soldiers to gather towards Wen'an County.

Zhao An's troops were all scattered. He found that as long as there was military history in the army, there was basically no need to worry about deserters.

Because to military history, their own lives do not matter, but if military history is not archived, that is a big problem.

After Zhao An arrived in Wen'an County, the first thing he did was ask the local people to organize themselves to boil water and put a lot of salt in the boiling water.

The reason for doing this is not clear to Zhao An, but the effect is clear to Zhao An. At least after running, the soldiers who drank salt water were in much better condition than those who drank normal water. This was taught by Liu Tai, so Zhao An Did it every time.

"This Qingzhou army is like a rabbit, they all run so fast! Let's not talk about the infantry, even the cavalry can't catch up when they encounter some mountains and swamps!" Sun Wei couldn't help but let out a loud sigh.

This time I feel like I have gained experience in dealing with Liu Tai's army. Looking at Qi Hong, I originally thought that Qi Hong suffered such a big loss with two cavalry against Liu Tai, but now it is obvious that this Qi Hong, the kind of army, is not easy to deal with either!
He waited for the army, but only defeated a few of the opponent's troops. Unexpectedly, the entire Liu Tai army retreated immediately. If he did not use cavalry, he would not even have a chance to eat dust. Even if he used cavalry, it would only be captured. Just a garrison team.

"General, are we going across the border to Jizhou for pursuit?"

Seeing that Wang Chang had chased them all the way to the border between Youzhou and Jizhou, he was somewhat undecided.

After all, Wen'an County in front of us is the boundary between Jizhou and Youzhou. If he and others attack desperately, they will officially declare war with Liu Tai.

But declaring war is certainly not something that can be decided by oneself, so it is better to leave it to Qi Hong to take the blame.

Qi Hong glanced at Wang Chang and said, "The general only ordered us to expel the bandits from Jizhou. If we attack Wen'an County, provoke a war between the two sides and disrupt the general's plan, wouldn't it be a serious crime for us?"

Obviously, Qi Hong didn't want to take on this problem. If he hadn't been defeated by Liu Tai, then Qi Hong would have set foot in Wen'an County.But Qi Hong now understands that he has been defeated once. Everyone will be afraid of the invincible golden body. But as long as the invincible golden body is gone, everyone around you may be afraid of you, maybe be friendly to you, but absolutely not You will be surrounded by people.

At least, even Wang Jun is much colder towards himself than before. After all, he is no longer an undefeated general.

But Qi Hong had to admit that he was indeed a little more wary of Liu Tai, who had defeated him.

No matter what, you can't fall into the same pit twice, and your pride won't allow you to do this!
Therefore, Qi Hong chose to let go of Zhao An, who had fled to Jizhou counties, but focused on encircling and suppressing Zhao An's war department in Youzhou.

It's just that everyone who received the order retreated very quickly. They basically found no one, leaving them with very few results.

They had no results, but Zaosong began to show his power and began to visit local families who did not agree with Wang Jun's proclaimed emperor one by one.

If they understand the current affairs and send some money and food to express political correctness, Zaosong will let them go.

If they don't understand current affairs, Zaosong said that Youzhou doesn't need such hard bones!

All in all, Zaosong didn't mention money and food at all.

You actually raised money with Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou. Are you trying to insult Wang Jun? !
We want to talk about loyalty and the incompatibility between Jin and Han. We want to see if your political stance is correct!

As for how you want to express your political stance, it is very simple. Money and food are your political stance.

The more money and food you give, it means you are loyal to Wang Jun, and naturally you will not collude with Liu Tai of Qingzhou.

It feels like your partner is talking to you about money. Only the stupidest people would directly ask for money.

Generally speaking, "motivation" is mentioned. As for the most direct expression of "motivation", it is neither how much you earn now nor how much you can earn in the future, but how much you can spend for me now.

This avoids talking about money directly, causing the relationship between the two parties to collapse directly!

Of course, if you switch to Buddhism, this becomes "fate".

There are many different words, but in the final analysis, it is still about money.

Now the attitude shown by Zao Song is the same. If you say you are loyal to Wang Jun, you will spend real money.

If you don't even use real money, especially food for the crusade against Liu Tai, how loyal are you?
Zao Song was also decisive in his actions, and he directly led his troops to destroy a local celebrity family that was dissatisfied with Wang Jun's proclaimed emperor.

Then he invited the surrounding aristocratic families and expressed that after Wang Jun occupied Jizhou, any politically correct aristocratic family that wanted to be a prefect should be a prefect, and if they wanted to be a long history, then they would be a long history. He also vaguely revealed that as long as Wang Jun became the emperor, would they still be afraid? Don’t you have a suitable official position?

Looking at the aristocratic family in the same county who had all their families killed, they also thought about the pie that Zao Song had drawn. Facing the political correctness that Zao Song needed, what could they say, just pay up!
In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, loyalty is made with real money!
During this process, those aristocratic families who helped Liu Tai were very heroic in paying for food and supplies. On the contrary, those aristocratic families who honestly abide by their duties could not afford any money or food, and could not help but frown.

There is no way, it is the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the world is in chaos, let alone all kinds of natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, more importantly, most of Wang Jun's officials have collected this year's autumn grain.

Zhao An's fire indeed burned the safety of those who violated the law, but those who abide by the law will definitely be harvested again.

No?Without you, it means having bad intentions; without you, it means colluding with Liu Tai!

For Zaosong, does he need to be a Qingtian to uphold justice?What a joke!
For him, on the one hand he has to please his father-in-law Wang Jun, and on the other hand he has to complete the tasks issued by Wang Jun.

As for the fact that during this process, I fished out a little bit of money and food for management, it was all my own hard-earned money!

For Wang Jun, the most important thing is to calm down the chaos caused by Liu Tai's sudden attack, and then ensure that the autumn grain can be recovered.

As for how many aristocratic families were destroyed or how many people were displaced due to this incident, the whole world has become such a chaotic state. Even if they don't have enough to eat under Wang Jun's men, at least they are better than losing their lives in other places. Good!

Therefore, with Zaosong's unscrupulous actions, although the attitude of eager for quick success has indeed laid a lot of hidden dangers for Youzhou, many people who were even robbed of food gradually became refugees, and the refugees in winter were almost Can't hold on.

But no matter what, Zaosong completed the task assigned by Wang Jun. He successfully eliminated the families who were unwilling to cooperate, united the families who could unite, and even used big cakes to lure the families who wanted to make progress.

As for the cost of suffering in Youzhou because of this, it is not worth mentioning to Zaosong.

After all, as long as Wang Jun can defeat Liu Tai, both the hidden dangers of the family and the anger of the people can be easily solved.

If Liu Tai could not be defeated, then he might have no choice but to follow his father-in-law Wang Jun to death.

Zaosong knew very well that he was the one who died together with Wang Jun, so he was not like those rich and powerful families who could have dreams of swinging left and right.

It can be said that Liu Tai's primary purpose of letting Zhao An attack Youzhou to destroy the autumn grain was indeed achieved.

Moreover, because the time coincided with the time when Wang Jun wanted to proclaim himself emperor, the internal conflicts in Youzhou became even more intensified.

But for Wang Jun, he also used Liu Tai to attack Qiuliang and complete the complete integration of the internal forces in Youzhou.

Don't care whether these aristocratic families are convinced or not, but as long as you give orders, they must obey them.

However, as a price, Wang Jun also knew that he could no longer suppress the internal conflicts in Youzhou, and he had to use rewards to Jizhou to eliminate the anger of these aristocratic families towards him before the internal problems in Youzhou completely broke out!
When Zao Song delivered the grain he had raised to himself, Wang Jun did not hesitate at all and began to fully mobilize his troops. He did not even need to wait for the river to freeze, and Wang Jun ordered an attack on Jizhou. He needed Youzhou for himself. To extend his life, he must make himself emperor!
As for the reason for the crusade against Liu Tai, not to mention that Liu Tai's troops attacked Youzhou itself without any sense of martial ethics. A Jin Dynasty prince and a Han Dynasty sealed the territory. This in itself is the most direct reason.

At this moment, Wang Jun mobilized 12 troops, including 20 cavalry. The so-called [-]-strong army rushed directly towards Jizhou!
