The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 226 Liu Kun’s decision

"Informing the Duke, Wei Xiong led his family members by boat to Linzi. After notifying his entourage, he settled at the administrative office in Linzi." Soon a guard came in and reported the progress of the Wei family to Liu Taitong.

"The Wei family is here, it's really fast!" Chu Hui sighed.

"I'll go meet them and settle them in Qingzhou first." Yangman stood up and said to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai nodded and said, "Get settled today and then choose a suitable time for the banquet. I will make time to attend."

"Yes!" Yangman nodded, but replied simply and simply.

Liu Tai naturally knew that no matter how Wei Xiong came all the way to seek refuge with him, out of courtesy, he would still go out to greet him and give Wei Xiong a feeling of spring breeze.

But Liu Tai deliberately asked Yang Man to go because the aristocratic family was not his base.

Although he is the target of his united front, he cannot let his base have the idea that the family is better.

Therefore, Liu Tai basically showed an indifferent attitude towards any aristocratic family that moved over.

There was neither deliberate difficulty nor suppression, everything was done in a business-like manner.

But for the aristocratic family, in the current troubled times, it is enough for Liu Tai to be willing to follow the rules, but they are afraid that Liu Tai will not follow the rules.

Anyway, Liu Tai knew that his base was the Han people, so he took advantage of the war and tried to place his veterans at the bottom of society for management.

Although there will definitely be problems of one kind or another in the management of officers at the grassroots level, they have two advantages in this troubled world.

The first is to regain control of the grassroots level, and the second is to strengthen the training of the military system.

As for other warlordization issues, I have nothing to worry about now.

Such an environment is naturally quite insecure for the aristocratic family.

But even if there is no sense of security, at least Liu Tai's army has military law, faith, and a sense of honor. Even if he hates the family a little, he can still be reasonable with the family. This is much better than the foreigners who don't regard Han people as human beings at all.

In comparison, Shi Le was really kind to aristocratic families, especially local aristocratic families represented by Zhang Bin or Han scholars. As long as they were willing to be used by Shi Le, they were all valued by Shi Le and treated extremely well.

Liu Tai really couldn't compare to Liu Tai in this regard, but Shi Le couldn't take care of those aristocratic families that Shi Le hadn't noticed.

Because Shi Le's individual treatment of aristocratic families is far inferior to the attitude of orthodox foreigners represented by Shi Hu towards Han aristocratic families.

For example, not long ago, Shi Hu just married the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe. Because of a slander from his concubine Zheng Yingtao, he buried the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe alive.

What could Qinghe Cui do? She could only smile and say it didn't matter. Otherwise, would she still complain to Shi Le?
What are the five surnames and seven looks? If our ancestors had not actively adapted to the environment and admired the stinky feet of foreigners, they would not have survived the Tang Dynasty at all.

"General, how do you think Wei Xiong should be placed?" Chu Hui couldn't help but ask Liu Tai.

"Since he plans to move the whole family inland and obviously doesn't want to be carried around on the border anymore, then it would be a good choice for him to become the governor of one side and the pastor of one side, or to become a school lieutenant and join Zhou Ping's newly established Sanhe Five Schools! "

Liu Tai said quite calmly, "Let's see how he chooses first!"

Chu Hui and others couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Liu Tai's arrangement.

No matter how you say a prefect with two thousand stones, or a powerful captain in charge of six thousand elites, they are worthy of Wei Xiong's attitude of migrating his entire clan to Qingzhou.

Even though Liu Tai was indifferent to the family, Liu Tai did not treat the family badly in actual actions, and this was enough.

However, Yang Yu looked at the message Zhao An sent from the front line, thought for a moment and said, "My lord, do we need to send someone to contact Liu Bingzhou to warn him and let Liu Bingzhou hold on for a while to consume Shi Le's strength?" .”

"The Tuoba tribe is in civil strife. He is afraid that he is more concerned about this matter than us, so it is impossible not to be wary of Shi Le.

It would be dangerous for Liu Kun to face Shi Le, and Shi Le would not miss this opportunity. "

Liu Tai heard Yang Yu's words, thought for a while, and said, "We are not only warning, but if possible, we will see if we can get Liu Kun in our hands!"

"General, you want Liu Kun to surrender?" When Chu Hui heard Liu Kun's words, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy.

If Liu Kun comes into our hands, His Majesty will definitely ask us to hand him over. No matter whether he is handed over or not, it will be difficult for us to do so! "

"This is quite a headache!" Liu Tai nodded in recognition after hearing Chu Hui's words.

To be honest, Liu Tai felt that because of Liu Kun's letter, his appeal to the Han family had not been raised to a higher level.

Therefore, Liu Tai naturally understood that what the aristocratic family under his rule lacked was just a step, and Liu Kun's letter served as a step.

But it is undeniable Liu Kun's influence and appeal on Han families, otherwise why others have not achieved such results.

Because Liu Kun was already the last Jin Dynasty force still resisting north of the Yellow River.

"If he listens to the advice and evacuates, then we can place him in the Tuoba tribe, even in the market where we trade with the Tuoba tribe!" Chu Hui said calmly,

"If Shi Le wants to attack the Jin Tuoba tribe, we will take advantage of the situation and fight against Shi Le.

If Shi Le doesn't care, then we have no reason to care. We'll wait until His Majesty gives us an order to capture Liu Kun.

The imperial decree comes and goes, and there will be many places for delay.

After all, Liu Yao has more say than us about the quality of the Xianbei cavalry. It is normal for us to be afraid of the Xianbei cavalry. "

When Liu Tai heard Chu Hui's words, the corners of his mouth twitched. Obviously, the market he opened with the Tuoba tribe would become a special quantum superposition state. As long as Liu Cong noticed it, it would definitely be Tuoba. controlled by the clan.

However, Chu Hui looked at Liu Tai and said, "My lord, the real question is not whether we can hide Liu Kun, the real question is how long we need to hide Liu Kun!"

"You can hide it as long as you can. At least His Majesty is still here. We should be loyal to the Emperor and the country, right?" Liu Tai said.

Chu Hui heard Liu Tai's speech and knew that Liu Tai had no intention of rebelling in a short time.

Chu Hui didn't say much about this, so he continued to wait.

Anyway, although Liu Tai has no intention of opposing Liu Cong, what Liu Tai is doing now is not full of fear for Liu Cong!

"In that case, please ask the Duke and Wang Xiaoniang to get married as soon as possible!" Chu Hui said seriously.

"I know, let's make arrangements as soon as possible!" Liu Tai had no objection to Chu Hui's words.

With Liu Tai's agreement, the entire Guanggu City and Linzi soon became lively.The news that Liu Tai was going to get married began to spread throughout China at an incredible speed.

Only then did all the princes who could be Liu Tai's father realize that Liu Tai had created such a foundation at such a young age, and they more or less sent people and prepared gifts to congratulate Liu Tai.

"Liu Tai is in a good mood!" Shi Le felt much better when he heard that Liu Tai was getting married.

But when he heard that Liu Taizhe was Wang Mi's daughter, Shi Le's mood suddenly became very unhappy.

Obviously, this will not only make Liu Tai's position more secure, but most importantly, it will completely inseparable from his hatred.

"It's a good thing for us that Liu Tai chooses this time to welcome his bride. At least for a short time, we don't have to worry that Liu Tai will take action against us and disturb us to annihilate Liu Kun." Zhang Bin said,

"There is civil strife in Tuoba and Liu Tai marries a wife. God is going to destroy Liu Kun. If we miss this opportunity, we will definitely suffer God's punishment in the future."

"Yeah!" When Shi Le heard Zhang Bin's words, he nodded with great approval, and then said to Zhang Bin,

"You have people go back and give generous gifts to Liu Tai, and along the way, go check out Liu Tai's true and false status and see how Liu Tai's city is being managed.

I always feel that the person we sent there has no news after a while, so let him check it out along the way. "

To be honest, Shi Le wasn't too worried about whether Liu Tai would kill his envoy in anger. If Liu Tai was so unruly, he would have attacked him regardless of anything.

Liu Tai is really shameless when he is shameless, but at ordinary times, when he is shameless, he does it impeccably, like a douchebag.

"Follow the order!" Zhang Bin heard Shi Le's words and immediately began to make arrangements in his mind.

As for Zhang Bin, he would never go on a mission, because Zhang Bin could be regarded as Shi Le's mastermind. If Zhang Bin could be detained, the shamelessness would not be so important to Liu Tai.

Shi Le didn't worry about Liu Tai's marriage. For Shi Le, it was really important that Liu Kun was eliminated.

As long as Liu Kun is eliminated, then when he faces Liu Tai, he will really have depth to talk about.

Even if Liu Tai attacks Xia Yecheng, he can still retreat to the Taihang Mountains and Bingzhou, and find a way to survive like Liu Kun.

When the time comes, I will be much more calm when dealing with Liu Tai, and won't be as constrained as I am now.

As for defeating Liu Tai, it seems that Liu Tai is not 100% sure about defeating Shi Le. If Shi Le said that he could defeat Liu Tai steadily, that would be a lie.

The two sides were fighting at both ends. At most, Liu Taiduo's fault tolerance rate and the belief in victory brought by his undefeated ability, but if he said that he could defeat Shi Le steadily, he really couldn't do it.

In any case, at this moment, Shi Le gathered together 20 infantry and cavalry, claiming to be a [-]-strong army, and began to attack Liu Kun.

Although Shi Le is a foreigner, Shi Le took the gift package when he attacked Luoyang. Compared with other foreign tribes, Shi Le valued beautiful women and property, but Shi Le packed a lot of craftsmen and talents. Shi Le did not have the complete version of the thunderbolt car technology, but there must be imitation versions.

As for the crossbow technology, it is naturally indispensable. In terms of technology, it is much more complete than the technology Liu Tai obtained from the Western Jin Dynasty.

If Liu Tai hadn't killed Wang Jun and recruited Wang Jun's craftsmen, he might still be a few points behind Shi Le.

However, in the past few years, Liu Tai was resting and recuperating, and his military growth was slow to take effect. However, Liu Tai's craftsmanship skills were advancing by leaps and bounds.

The most important thing is to mass-produce and standardize many of Wang Jun's more advanced military technologies, and integrate them into Liu Tai's engineering system while completing the unification of weights, measures, and vectors.

Of course, Shi Le was preparing to deal with Liu Kun, and Liu Kun understood this early.

However, Liu Kun did not expect that Liu Tai would order Lu Chen as an envoy to go to Jinyang to express goodwill to Liu Kun.

If Liu Kun sees that the situation is not good, he can flee to the Tuoba tribe and let the Tuoba tribe protect him.

At least Liu Tai could successfully protect Liu Kun through the Tuoba tribe.

However, after Lu Chen met Liu Kun, he found that Liu Kun was full of white hair, old and haggard. He was completely different from the Liu Kun he remembered when he left. An aging aura almost hit his face!

"I'm fine. I failed to attack the hypocrites at first, so I just suffered some backlash." Liu Kun looked at Lu Chen's surprised expression when he faced him, and said calmly, "Zi Liang, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about Liu Chen. Taiba.”

"Uncle, what do you want to know?" Lu Chen couldn't help but ask after hearing Liu Kun's words.

"Tell me everything." Liu Kun looked at Lu Chen calmly and couldn't help but say,

"What's going on with Liu Tai? What are you doing with Liu Tai? Whether Liu Tai has treated you badly or not, you can say anything!"

"?" When Lu Chen heard Liu Kun's words, he couldn't help but be full of doubts. You must know that when Lu Chen rushed to Liu Kun's place, Shi Le had already announced his intention to attack Liu Kun.

Under such circumstances, how could Liu Kun not worry about this and instead ask Liu Tai about it.

You know, Liu Tai is very comfortable now, but it is very uncomfortable to have to marry a wife and have children.

However, facing Liu Kun's inquiry, Lu Chen also understood that he had no reason to refuse at all.

At this moment, Lu Chen could only tell Liu Kun honestly what he had seen and heard in Youzhou, and he did not hide the fact that he was now a military historian.

However, now Lu Chen's status has gradually improved and he has become an important person in charge of education, and Liu Tai has obviously promoted Lu Chen to Honglu Temple, which deals with foreign races, and Lu Chen is still quite satisfied with this. satisfied.

Liu Kun couldn't help but think about it while listening to Lu Chen's narration. After a long time, Liu Kun sighed:
"Liu Tai obviously wants to solve the difference between Hu and Han! It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

After Liu Kun sighed, he said to Lu Chen: "Take Taizhen, Qun'er and others to Youzhou, I won't leave!"

"Uncle, I don't have to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills, not to mention that Duke Liu obviously wants to save you, so why are you so stubborn!" Lu Chen couldn't help but said after hearing Liu Kun's words.

"If I don't die, neither Liu Cong nor Shi Le will be at ease for the rest of their lives!" Liu Kun shook his head and said,

"Since Liu Tai understands the difference between Hu and Han, and is committed to promoting the transformation of Hu into a hypocrite, he will definitely turn against Hu sooner or later. I am relieved that you will follow him."

Liu Kun looked at Lu Chen, but did not hide it at all. He continued, "But now that all the areas north of the Yellow River belong to the puppet Han, I am the only minister of the Jin Dynasty. How can I avoid disaster? I have been a minister of the Jin Dynasty all my life. How can I do it now?" Damn it, do you want to vote for Liu Tai again?

The battle last year has exhausted all my energy, and now I am tired.

My parents died in Jinyang, my relatives died in Jinyang, and now I have died in Bingzhou, which is the best destination for me.

I used to be a steelsmith, but in the end I became soft. "

When Liu Kun said this, he felt a bit of sadness and indignation or a bit of lament in his heart.
