The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 192 The Han Xianbei family
"Brother, where are we going next?" Zu Yue looked at Zu Ti with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

To be honest, if it weren't for this god-like brother beside me, even if I didn't hate Taishan County, my army would definitely be broken up by Yu Yao. I can only survive thanks to my brother.

Zu Ti thought for a moment after hearing Zu Yue's words, and then said, "The imperial court appointed me as the governor of Yuzhou. Now that Wang Jun has been defeated, we no longer need to contain the south, so we should lead the soldiers to Yuzhou to rectify it first!"

When Zu Yue heard Zu Ti's words, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zu Ti was around, he wouldn't be afraid of losing his direction.

While Zu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, Zu Ti's eyes were somewhat solemn.

I originally thought that integrating the power of these large and small aristocratic families would definitely be a very powerful force. Not to mention defeating Yu Yao, but at least it could contain Liu Tai's power in the south.

But when Zu Ti really fought with Yu Yao, Zu Ti discovered the all-round gap between himself and Yu Yao's army.

Regardless of the eliteness of the soldiers, the equipment on them, or Yu Yao's experience in commanding the army, if he hadn't learned what he had learned and put it into practice, and had some talent, he would have been defeated by Yao in a single battle.

But even so, the longer the two sides fought, the more Zu Ti felt the greater pressure the other party put on him!
This pressure does not come from the soldiers themselves, but from the local Taishan County, which seems to be resistant to them.

Some common people took the initiative to inform Yu Yao's army, some soldiers under Yu Yao fought bravely, and some of the soldiers who fought with them unceremoniously cursed their own troops as "Jin dogs!"

Obviously, the people's support is not in Da Jin, at least the people in Taishan County are not in Da Jin.
This was the reason why he allowed himself to fight Yu Yao and constantly learn from Yu Yao's combat experience, but he never had a chance to break through Taishan County.

Because Yu Yao was just a chess piece at the front desk, his troops once counter-attacked Yu Yao's troops who originally came out to attack him, but even in the dark, Yu Yao's men still fought bravely and escorted Yu Yao back to the city desperately.

He once commanded the army to attack the city, but was driven back by the Taishan County soldiers regardless of their own safety. However, he never had the chance to climb up again.

Even as winter approached, he sent soldiers to the surrounding villages to collect food and grass. From then on, he felt that Taishan County became more and more difficult to conquer.

Because there seemed to be an invisible force that integrated the entire Taishan County, from the soldiers to the guards, into one, it seemed particularly ridiculous to let his troops face them.

Zu Ti's power is different from all other generals in this era. He can tolerate and use people. The most powerful thing is that his eyes can see the bottom layer, which seems to be weak but is actually indestructible.

No one knows when Zu Ti observed this force in history.

But precisely because he observed this power, he was able to integrate the beggar army and the wealthy families, making the area south of the Yellow River completely integrated and available for his use.

Now Liu Tai uses the land equalization system and the government military system to control the power of the grassroots people. He can see the powerful power brought by the grassroots people after they are coordinated.

Perhaps this was his biggest gain from his time in Taishan County besides his veterans. As for the increase in military capabilities, for Zu Ti, it was all about having the skills!

However, when leaving Sizhou for Yuzhou, Zu Ti chose to dismiss some soldiers who were unwilling to follow him to Yuzhou.

For one thing, these soldiers are the new recruits of aristocratic families. Even if I have the intention of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, I still have to give back some of them.

Secondly, it's not like I'm not planning to go back to Sizhou. A certain degree of goodwill will make it easier for me to call back next time.

However, Zu Ti looked to the north. The young man who had defeated all the famous generals of the Western Jin Dynasty since his debut could not even pass the Taishan County he had casually arranged. He didn't know how much time he would give himself to build a Great Wall to withstand his edge. .

Zu Ti couldn't help but take a deep breath. He could feel that Liu Tai would definitely be the enemy he had to face.

Not only Zu Ti, but also the whole world was amazed that Liu Tai killed Wang Jun in one battle.

Everyone knows that from the moment Liu Tai defeated Wang Jun, Liu Tai became the most powerful prince in the north.

Even if he still nominally surrendered to the Huns and Han, if Liu Tai wanted to rebel, it would only depend on Liu Tai's own wishes.

Naturally, Liu Tai had no intention of rebelling against Liu Cong, or as Zhang Bin said, Liu Tai still valued Wang Mi's reputation during his lifetime.

As long as Liu Cong doesn't force him, even if he has the intention of separatist rule, he will not jump out to rebel!
Even at this time, Liu Taigen arranged for Chen Yuanda to send Wang Jun's family to Liu Cong.

After all, Wang Jun has been trampled to a pulp, and there is no point in Wang Jun and his family keeping it for themselves.

In this case, it is better to leave it to Liu Cong to handle it. As for Chen Yuanda, you have been observing here for a year. You have seen as much as you want to see and know everything you want to know. Should you go back and follow him? Liu Cong reported.

Otherwise, how can you fulfill the role of this nail?

Of course, the most important thing is to tell Liu Cong honestly that he wants to separate the country but does not want rebellion.

At the same time, he also vaguely revealed that after occupying the three states of Qingyou and Hebei, he actually wanted to take back the land of Pingzhou first.

Of course, if the imperial court wanted to defeat Liu Kun in Bingzhou, he would not mind helping.

After all, he and Shi Le were still subordinates of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom. Without the edict of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, they would not have been able to conquer without guilt. This was the same even in history when Shi Le conquered Cao Yi.

After all, the power of politics determines the power of people's hearts. Didn't Liu Cong know that Cao Yi was following the Jin court?
But the problem is not that Shi Le is powerful and Cao Yi must contain Shi Le!
So until Liu Cong's death, although Shi Le had always wanted to conquer Cao Yi, he was suppressed by Liu Cong.

This prevented Shile from finding a suitable political reason to send troops.

The same principle applies now. Liu Tairuo attacked Liu Kun and took Bingzhou into his hands.

Let alone whether Shi Le can sleep peacefully, Liu Cong is afraid that he will never be able to sleep peacefully again.

A man has occupied Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and now he wants to cross the border and merge the states. You also say that you only want to separate the country, not to annex your own Xiongnu and Han kingdoms. Say it for yourself. Is there any truth to what you said? believe.

Even if Liu Cong indulges Liu Tai, he will never leave Liu Kun to Liu Tai.

Of course, the best way is to take it into your own hands, but the problem is that Liu Yao is useless!

He was defeated by Tuoba Xianbei and managed to save his life. He did not dare to raise his troops and go north to fight Liu Kun again.

Now they are attacking Chang'an all at once. As a result, Liu Tai and even Wang Jun were defeated, but Chang'an has not been captured yet!
Therefore, if Liu Tai wants to take that shabby place in Pingzhou, let Liu Tai take it.

To Liu Cong, is that shabby place important?Not important at all.

As long as Shi Le defeats Liu Kun and completely becomes his shield against Liu Tai, this is what Liu Cong wants to see.

When the time comes, he will be able to completely control the situation and balance. It doesn't matter if Shi Le has wolfish ambitions. If he dares to expose himself, let's see if Liu Tai will deal with him.

Even if Liu Tai wants to separate one side, as long as he doesn't force him, he will not rebel for the sake of Wang Mi's posthumous reputation.For a monarch who wants to control the world, he naturally needs to subdue Liu Tai, Shi Le and Liu Yao and make them the sharp swords in his hands.

But it's not that Liu Cong doesn't want to unify the world, but in recent days he has been exposed to Wu Shi San first, and then the wind disease, not to mention intermittent mental disorders, which makes Liu Cong still think about unifying the world.

The most important thing now is to take good care of your body first, 30 Liu Ying, [-] Liu E. For the remaining seven to [-] days, you need to be nourished and nourished by beauties every day.

I finally became the emperor, didn't I just want to enjoy it, uh, no, I should be kind and nurturing!
Chen Yuanda did not know that Liu Cong had completely lost his ambition to unify the world, but when Liu Tai asked him to send Wang Jun and his family back to Pingyang to meet Liu Cong, Chen Yuanda still readily accepted it.

After all, Chen Yuanda has seen too many things in Qingzhou, and he is even more aware of Liu Tai's ambitions.

Although Liu Tai had no intention of betraying the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, with Liu Tai's current expansion of power, if he did not stop it, Chen Yuanda believed that Liu Tai would sooner or later embark on the road of proclaiming himself emperor.

The most important reason is that Liu Tai is really good at fighting.

And now that he is still so young, Chen Yuanda doesn't even know who can check Liu Tai if Liu Tai rebels. Is Shi Le really enough? !
But Liu Tai didn't care at all about Chen Yuanda's worried and hasty move north with Wang Jun's family.

Because compared to other ancient princes, they were worried that their emperor would doubt their loyalty.

But for Liu Tai, he has never worried about this, because as long as Liu Cong forces him, he will really rebel!
I am willing to respect Liu Cong and call Liu Cong your majesty.

Therefore, I hope that your Majesty will have a clear understanding of the world and not be tempted to rebel. This will be very difficult for you.

After all, the reason Liu Tai wanted to rebel was that he hoped that the conflict between the Huns and the Han would break out, and he would take advantage of the situation to rise up. It was not because His Majesty Liu Cong was ignorant and couldn't pretend even if he wanted to.

Of course, it was impossible for me to tell Chen Yuanda directly about this kind of thing, or even tell anyone else.

Because if he said it, Liu Cong would be forced to make a decision, but as long as he didn't say it, he would keep preparing for rebellion.

If Liu Cong wanted internal peace, he would send someone over to appease him in order to calm things down.

At the same time, Liu Tai also believed that Liu Cong would make certain arrangements to avoid direct danger to himself.

But no matter what, the plan he revealed to Chen Yuanda intentionally or unintentionally to capture Pingzhou and establish the so-called Bohai Rim Economic Circle was a political concept that both he and Liu Cong could accept.

Don't worry about your own plan, whether you are making money or losing money.

Anyway, for Liu Cong, this is what he wants to see.

After all, Liu Tai, who defeated Wang Jun, became a real threat to Liu Cong.

And Liu Tai proposed to develop Pingzhou. Compared with the threat Liu Tai posed to himself, letting Liu Tai's power be consumed in Pingzhou was exactly what Liu Cong wanted to see.

At this moment, the entire Youzhou and even the northern part of Jizhou were still in ruins, but Liu Tai was the first to meet Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan.

Because the two people who started from Qingzhou and brought them all the way to the present finally need them to play their role.

So at this moment, Liu Tai looked at the two of them with a big smile and said: "You two, you are doing fine recently!"

"I've met the Duke!" Both Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan first glanced at Liu Xia, who was looking at people with his chin, and then looked at Liu Tai with some trepidation.

Don't look at Liu Tai's kindness, but in fact he just defeated Wang Jun's army of hundreds of thousands.

Especially in this war, the two of them saw with their own eyes how rampant and arrogant Liu Tai's army was.

The two of them were really wary of Liu Tai at this moment, and they once again realized that Liu Tai was not a kind and polite young man on the surface, but was really an unparalleled commander-in-chief!

Liu Tai was not too surprised by the change in the two people's attitudes towards him.

The Hu people are afraid of power but not moral. Victory is the best way to drive them. If you win them and then win their master, they will basically choose to surrender.

Even though they have been completely Chineseized, this instinct implanted in their genes allows Liu Tai to drive them better.

He took them with him during the war just to let them watch how he defeated Wang Jun.

Now that Wang Jun has been defeated, he naturally plans to start using them for real.

Liu Tai smiled and said: "You have seen that I plan to promote the integration of Xianbei people and Han people.

I just want to know if you are willing to let more Xianbei people participate, so that the Xianbei people and the Han people can become as close as one family from now on. "

"I wonder what the Duke needs us to do?!" The two couldn't help but worry when they heard Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai replied calmly: "I have just occupied Youzhou, and everything is waiting to be done. There are too many things that need to be dealt with.

But the matter in Pingzhou cannot be delayed. It is really hateful that the Murong Xianbei clan occupies my Han Dynasty land.

I think you don’t want to see our Han Xianbei family policy being hindered. "

"My lord, do you want us to fight against this big tribe like Murong Xianbei?" Duan Shujun's face couldn't help but become solemn.

"There are only so many of you now, how could I let you do such a thing!" Liu Tai said kindly, looking at the two of them.
"I will give you support, weapons, salt, and even equipment...I will give it to you.

Of course, I will loan them to you in the first wave, but in the future you will need to exchange them with Xianbei people, whether it is Murong Xianbei or Yuwen Xianbei.

We will carefully educate them to become Xianbei people who have the same heart for the Han Dynasty as you.

Of course, I also hope to see you rebuild the Duan tribe during this process. After all, the stronger your tribe is, the more Xianbei people will come to learn from the Han people, and the Han people and Xianbei people will be able to integrate faster, and from now on they will become A family, isn't it? "

At this moment, Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan looked at the picture Liu Tai painted, as if they saw the future glory of the Xianbei people in the new era. No matter what, they could not believe the picture Liu Tai painted.

At least now they don't have any right to refuse.
