The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 18
At this moment, Chu Hui was talking to various aristocratic families. Compared with Liu Tai, a guy who understood class but was rough in his work, Chu Hui felt comfortable dealing with people from aristocratic families, not to say it was like a breath of fresh air, but he was also familiar with the corresponding rules.

Especially under the blessing of a system like the "Nine-level Zhongzheng System", at least within the system, high-level aristocratic families have a crushing effect on low-level aristocratic families.

Although the Chu family is not considered a top aristocratic family, or it has not yet ushered in a period of complete victory, it still has a stable inheritance in the Jin court. Therefore, Chu Hui has an innate ability to crush these local aristocratic families, making the local nobles full of flattery. .

This may be why the aristocratic families in power in the central government not only do not feel that there is a problem with the "Nine-grade Zhongzheng System", but on the contrary feel that this system is very superior. It can ensure the inheritance of rights from generation to generation for the clan members and can unconditionally crush other classes.

That is to say, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, China shouted the inspiring slogan "Princes, generals, and prime ministers would rather have seeds!"

At the same time, Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu, creating a situation where the first generation of Han Dynasty's commoner generals and ministers inspired the people of the lower class.

No matter how you say it, there is hope for this kind of thing as long as there are examples. Even if it becomes a symbol in the future, there will be some beggar who has the courage to say no to the power above him!
Otherwise, if the family implements the nine-level Zhongzheng system for 1000 years, it might turn into a situation like India where inferior people are no longer human beings.

When Liu Tai saw Chu Hui receiving the family, he didn't say much, but went to the side hall to wait.

Liu Tai showed sufficient respect for Chu Hui, and also hoped that Chu Hui could complete the integration of the local Yecheng aristocratic families.

Because Liu Tai knew very well that it was impossible for him to attack Lin Li by force. Even if he recruited the good sons of the Yecheng family and then turned around to attack Lin Li, he would probably be beaten to death by Lin Li.

This is not because there are any famous generals in Linli City that shock the world, but it is a city that is dedicated to defense. If you want to take it by force in a short time, you have to rely on the lives of the soldiers.

Liu Tai had too few men, and if the soldiers recruited from Yecheng were so exhausted, it would be good if they could break through. But if he couldn't break through, he was afraid that he would be stabbed in the back by the Yecheng family if he turned around.

This kind of move is to use the big to win the small. If you really do this, if you fail, you will probably be recorded in the history books as a joke for a lifetime.

Therefore, Liu Tai first integrated the resources of Ye City and cooperated with the threat of Wang Mi and Shi Le's army to persuade Lin Lucheng to surrender.

After all, now that they have become an isolated city, it is the time to be frightened, first to attack with troops, and secondly to attack friends, and then it depends on who is willing to be the lobbyist.

"Liu Lieutenant, you've been waiting for a long time!" After a while, Chu Hui came with a somewhat brisk pace.

"I don't mean anything, but Chu Jijiu has worked hard. How are the clans and families in Yecheng doing?!" Liu Tai asked.

"Let them go back and think about it for a night. I will tell them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow about replacing farmland with people. I believe they will be very happy!" Chu Hui said to Liu Tai calmly.

"In this way, the plan can proceed smoothly to the next step!" Liu Tai heard Chu Hui's words and said:
"Now that Lin Liu has become a dead end, Jijiu thinks it would be better for someone in Ye City to surrender!"

"Liu Xiaowei believes that it is the most sincere thing to do in person!" Chu Hui suggested decisively.

"..." Liu Tai looked at Chu Hui and said slowly, "Chu Jijiu, don't be joking. I won Yecheng, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. There is no need to play risky moves anymore. Let's ask Chu Jijiu to choose someone." Go over there!”

"Liu Lieutenant, you want to use people from the aristocratic families you suppressed..." Chu Hui couldn't help but think deeply after hearing Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai said: "In addition to us, Yecheng now has three levels of basic forces.

One is the beggar army headed by Tian Zhen, and the other is the aristocratic family where the Zhen family is now considered the leader.

The remaining aristocratic families who have been suppressed by us should also choose an example to show our magnanimity of letting go of past mistakes.

After all, if we don’t win over them, we will surely be won over by our enemies.

Since we want to rule Yecheng, we must make many friends and few enemies! "

Chu Hui listened to Liu Tai's words and looked at Liu Tai's 12-year-old appearance, his eyes full of surprise.

"Am I wrong?" Liu Tai looked at Chu Hui and couldn't help scratching his head.

Chu Hui looked at Liu Tai and felt that he looked like a normal 12-year-old child, but said, "Liu Xiaowei is right, but sometimes I feel that Liu Xiaowei's gaze is a little too precise!"

"Read more, reading makes people wise!" Liu Tai said to Chu Hui, his wine sacrificer, with a serious look on his face.

Chu Hui didn't say much, but said, "Then let the Wei family try it. I heard that the general Wei Chang stationed in Anyang was born in the Wei family. In the current situation, he has no reason to continue to station in Linli. Got it!"

"In this case, I will leave this matter to Chu Jijiu. In addition, I wonder if Chu Jijiu can help me!" Liu Tai asked.

To be honest, Liu Tai did not choose to leave when he saw Chu Jijiu, but chose to come back. Then Liu Tai thought that Chu Hui chose the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty instead of the Jin court.

As for whether he chooses Liu Yuan or Wang Mi in the future, he has no control over it anyway.

Adhering to the principle of discarding things when they expire, if you can use him to death, then you will use him to death.

As for Chu's choice for the wine festival, to be honest, Liu Tai had never thought about it since then.

Now he is only 12 years old. In Liu Tai's opinion, it would be great if he can take charge of an army before he is 16 years old.

Even if there is a war going on all the time, if you want to truly enter the political stage, you have to be at least 20 years old.

The only thing I need is to complete any tasks assigned to me by Wang Mi as much as possible, and train an army as strong as possible. If Chu Jijiu chooses him, he is afraid that he will die of old age first.

Therefore, if Chu Hui dares to come to Liu Tai, he dares to use him. Anyway, whether Chu Hui is doing it for Liu Yuan or Wang Mi, there is nothing wrong if he makes friends with him, just like Jia Xu followed Cao Cao and made friends with Zhang Xiu, who represents Xiliang. Same.

In this era, if a civil servant wants to exert his abilities, he must have the military force to represent him.

Civil servants without the support of military power are just ordinary people, and any plans are just bragging.

At this point, as long as Chu Hui has this ability, Liu Tai doesn't mind working together with Chu Hui.

After all, you understand some political stances and decisions yourself, but when faced with political intrigues, you need someone who understands to help you block them.

"Please make it clear to Lieutenant Liu!" Chu Hui touched his beard and was very satisfied with Liu Tai's attitude of not going in person.

For Chu Hui, he also saw that the Sima princes had their own troops and respected themselves. He knew that the world was about to be in chaos, so he chose to avoid trouble in Youzhou.

However, when he was in Youzhou, he heard that there was turmoil in Qingxu, Hebei, so he decided to return to his hometown to organize his tribe to go south to avoid trouble.But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to his hometown and didn't even enter the house, he met Liu Tai, who was born with supernatural powers. After being convinced by physics, he taught Liu Taimeng and got around until now.

For Chu Hui, the Sima family may not be worth supporting, but their nine-level Zhongzheng system and related systems are still worth supporting. At least compared to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, he would rather choose the Sima family.

This time Liu Tai had the opportunity to lead the army independently and captured Yecheng, which allowed Chu Hui to see Liu Tai's military strategy.

But what really made Chu Hui feel that Liu Tai was a promising future was Liu Tai's precise handling of the Yecheng family after he led his troops to capture Yecheng. very shocked.

If Liu Tai killed everyone indiscriminately and used force to intimidate the local aristocratic families, Chu Hui would not take the initiative to help Liu Tai.

But Liu Tai did not kill everyone indiscriminately, but accurately grasped the attitude of the family, or distinguished the targets, or killed chickens to scare monkeys, or borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha... In short, Liu Tai's actions were not amazing, but they were all masters. Not famous.

Although the execution was a bit rough due to time constraints, Liu Tai's every move made Chu Hui see Liu Tai's potential.

Even if Liu Tai has potential, he is only 12 years old. Although in this era, 12 years old is not considered a child. At least, ordinary people are about to start working with their parents.

Therefore, Chu Hui tried to test Liu Tai by persuading him to surrender to Lin Lucheng. When he saw that Liu Tai immediately retreated and did not look like the bravery a general should have, Chu Hui felt very satisfied.

Because Liu Tai felt like the little overlord Sun Ce to Chu Hui, and Sun Ce was directly assassinated because he was unprepared.

For a general, it is not wrong to have such a habit, but if you want to further train Liu Tai, it is better for Liu Tai to be patient.

At least in Chu Hui's view, by influencing Liu Tai, he might also be able to influence the future politics of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.

A very important reason is that he came to Zuoguocheng and observed the scene of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.

He is different from Liu Tai. Liu Tai had no impression of the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom when looking back at history, so he deduced that the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom would definitely disappear because he could not handle the conflict between Hu and Han.

When the time comes, he will stand as a Han nationality and accept the Han heritage of the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom. Eating corpses should be able to serve as capital for starting a business. Liu Tai feels that he can afford to wait ten or twenty years for this purpose.

Chu Hui did not have Liu Tai's vision from the lower reaches of history, but as a wise man of this era with a very far-sighted vision, Chu Hui knew that Liu Yuan, the current emperor of the Huns and Han Kingdom, was already 55 years old and had white hair. It can be concluded that the Huns and Han Kingdom will never grow long.

Because now Liu Yuan is the core of the coexistence of the two banners of the Huns and the Han.

When Liu Yuan dies, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom will definitely experience a great turmoil. Even if the Xiongnu Han Kingdom still exists, the conflict between the Han and Xiongnu ethnic groups will definitely gradually become more acute.

After all, people who are not from my race must have different hearts. As a Han Chinese, you know this.

When Wang Mi loses his backer Liu Yuan, who is also one of the few important Han ministers, he will definitely bear the brunt.

The full-fledged Liu Tai will definitely become a person of great importance at that time.

Therefore, when Chu Hui discovered Liu Tai's potential and found that he could completely destroy the Huns and Han Dynasty through Liu Tai, Chu Hui decided to stay with Liu Tai and wait patiently for that day to come.

I don't need to do much next, I just need to gain Liu Tai's trust, and then when Liu Tai needs to choose the Huns or the Han, he can pull Liu Tai back to the Han side.

As for pulling Liu Tai back to the Jin court, to be honest, Chu Hui was not too sure. After all, Liu Tai's resistance to the Jin court was too strong.

Although Chu Hui thought about it over and over, he never thought about where Jin Ting fell short, so he needed to guide Liu Tai to a certain extent.

After all, Liu Tai is only 12 years old. No matter how smart he is, as long as he is patient, he can eventually change Liu Tai's mind.

Liu Tai naturally didn't know what Chu Hui was thinking, but he said with the intention of giving full play to his talents:

"Chu Jijiu, can you help me gather a group of frustrated people from the branches of the aristocratic family?

In particular, branches of families that are good at craftsmanship, alchemy and medical skills recruit about a hundred people.

They will be organized into an independent battalion, temporarily called Baijia Camp. "

"Baijiaying... Could it be that Lieutenant Liu is planning to re-establish Baijiaying?" Chu Hui couldn't help but smile.

"If this name is too big, let's call it Jiuying!" Liu Tai heard Chu Hui's words. Although he didn't know if Chu Hui's tone meant a warning, he still shouldn't be too cautious when he should be careful. Arrogance is good.

Chu Hui touched his beard, but felt that when Liu Tai should be timid, he was really timid.

He originally wanted to warn that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, using the name of a hundred schools of thought may not have good results. Unexpectedly, he was just starting a new name, so Liu Tai decisively changed his name.

Seeing that Chu Hui didn't speak, Liu Tai obviously understood that Jiuying must have passed, and continued:
“In addition, I need to recruit a group of talents in Yecheng to study the Book of Han, as well as replenish some learning items.

After all, whether it is the expansion of the number of soldiers under my command or the fact that Gongshi Yu is temporarily in charge of the government affairs of Yecheng, the soldiers lack teachers who can teach "Han Shu"! "

"This is not easy to do!" When Chu Hui heard Liu Tai's words, he plucked his beard hard.

"Hui can only do his best. Let the Wei family persuade Wei Chang to surrender first, and then notify General Wang to come and accept Yecheng. Then he will persuade the local aristocratic family to hire some talents to teach "Han Shu". Maybe it would be much more convenient!”

"Is that so? Then follow your arrangements for the wine ceremony!" Liu Tai saluted to Chu Hui and said.

Chu Hui liked Liu Tai's respect for teachers. Even if he was caught at the beginning, he still regarded himself as a teacher when he was studying.

Turning around, Wang Mishile's army was marching in the Taihang Mountains. After six or seven days of climbing, the army finally came out of Fukouxing in the Taihang Mountains.

Lin Lucheng also stood in front of it.

However, when they arrived at Linlu City, they saw a Chinese-character flag already flying on Linlu City.

This made Wang Mi and Wang Zhang, who had traveled a long distance to Linli, look at each other a little bit:
"That little guy, did you really take down Lin Liu?!"
