The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 316 Reuse Li Ju

All in all, Murong Xin soon discovered that after he claimed to be the governor of Pingzhou, the Duan clan Xianbei on the opposite side invaded his territory more and more frequently. He soon learned that Liu Tai had granted Duan Shujun the governor of Pingzhou and Duan Wenyuan the governor of Pingzhou, responsible for Commander-in-Chief of Pingzhou Military, wipe out the bandits in Pingzhou!

Who is this thief? Needless to say!

Murong Xian immediately ordered the warriors of the Murong tribe to fight with the Duan tribe.

But it has to be said that when Duan Wenyuan actually went on the battlefield to face Murong Han, the two of them would meet good talents. After several battles, Duan Wenyuan took advantage by relying on his weapons. Murong was mostly the one in the battle. Xianbei suffered a loss.

Regarding this, Murong Xin still had quite a headache.

When it comes to the weapons of generals like Murong, there is naturally no difference between the weapons of generals like Duan Wenyuan of the Duan tribe.

The real problem is that the weapons of the soldiers below are much worse than those of the Duan tribe.

Therefore, although Duan Wenyuan and Murong Han will encounter good talents, Duan Wenyuan will win more than he loses.

After all, fighting not only depends on the performance of the generals, but also the equipment in the hands of the soldiers is very important. Duan Wenyuan fought with Liu Tai and even studied in Liu Tai's army for a period of time, so he also learned some of Liu Tai's ideas.

Although Duan Wenyuan couldn't copy that kind of big man spirit, and there was no way Shi Le couldn't copy it. It required the foundation of a nation, but even so, Liu Tai's emphasis on equipment and organizational power made Duan Wenyuan copy it.

Under such circumstances, Duan Wenyuan took the lead, inspiring the soldiers' fighting will with courage, and equipping the soldiers with the best equipment possible. Therefore, in a war of less than 10,000 people, Duan Wenyuan was a strong general. At least he could not interrupt Duan Wenyuan's charge. With the momentum, it will be very troublesome for anyone to deal with it.

Fortunately, Murong Han himself can be used as a fierce general, and he is not necessarily weaker than Duan Wenyuan. It's just that every time he fights against Duan Wenyuan, he can resist Duan Wenyuan, but his soldiers cannot bear it, but they inevitably keep retreating.

Just when Murong Xian felt troubled, someone came to Murong Xian and said that he could get the weapons of the Han army. However, the Han army was strictly prohibited from smuggling such things, so the price was a bit high and Murong needed to consider it.

At this time, what else was Murong Xian thinking about? What else did he think about? Everything belonged to Duan Xianbei.

So he agreed without hesitation, and first used the smuggled Han knife.

Relying on a batch of smuggled knives, they were at a slight disadvantage, so Duan Shujun sent another message saying that Murong Xianbei had found the Han's knives and asked Liu Tai to check it out.

Liu Tai asked Tian Zhen to investigate the matter, and then Tian Zhen continued to investigate.

However, Liu Tai said that if Murong Xianbei had sharp knives, he would be willing to sell some leather armor to Duan Xianbei.

Anyway, the door of our Han trade will always be open for Duan Xianbei. Seeing Liu Tai talking like this, Duan Shujun breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, at least Liu Tai opened his leather armor to show that he didn't want to abandon him.

As for Tian Zhen's secret smuggling, Duan Shujun could not pursue anything. After all, he knew Tian Zhen's status in Liu Tai's army. According to normal principles, a general who gradually moved from the stage to retirement , but it’s just smuggling some arms. As long as Liu Tai doesn’t act ruthlessly, no one can touch him.

As for Liu Tai, no matter what, Tian Zhen will definitely satisfy such a small request.

After all, Tian Jin can become a benchmark in the army to a certain extent, setting an example for the generals under Liu Tai's command.

When you are disarmed and return to your fields in the future, just retire with peace of mind. Even if you are not given rights, wealth will be given to you!

Therefore, Tian Tian gradually retired and is now more or less engaged in smuggling weapons. Duan Xianbei can only turn a blind eye. After all, smuggling weapons is already the limit. If he dares to smuggle armor, he is committing rebellion. .

In fact, Tian Tian took the blame for Liu Tai, and even more so for the big man. No one else could have such an honor!

For Liu Tai, it is best to continue fighting in Liaodong until there is no winner. At least until he unifies the world, he will be free to take care of it, which will be much easier.

Soon, as Yanzhou's disaster relief work was gradually completed, Zhao An's headquarters was dispatched back.

After Zhao An received the reward this time, he was dispatched by Liu Tai to Youzhou, and Zu Yue was also asked to serve as Zhao An's deputy general.

First, Zu made an appointment to erect a monument for Zu Ti in his hometown to promote his national spirit. The second point is that with the war happening in Pingzhou, a general with sufficient deterrent power is needed to deter.

Under such circumstances, Zhao An is naturally the most suitable choice.

Liu Tai said that he hoped that Zhao An would keep an eye on the Xianbei tribe in Pingzhou in Youzhou. If you find suitable successors in Youzhou, then you can come back to the central government.

Zhao An understood that Liu Tai hoped that he could train a general suitable to be stationed in Youzhou, so that he could go back then.

Zhao An's training targets soon fell on Li Nong, Ji Dan, Ma Yan and Zu Yue.

Zu Yue returned to Langfanyang, and Liu Tai's eyes soon fell on Li Ju and Huan Xuan.

In Liu Tai's view, he praised Zu Ti as a national hero, which naturally restricted the development of Zu Yue.

Throwing Zu Yue to Fan Yang, although it allowed Zu Yue to return to his hometown, would also become a card for him to restrict Xianbei in the future.

After all, Zu Yue, you don’t want your brother to bring shame to your clan, so the Zu clan will gradually become an important force in resisting foreign clans.

Zu Yue had made arrangements, but Li Ju and Huan Xuan were different from Zu Yue. Their family did not have someone as influential as Zu Ti, so he could reuse them.

After all, I can't just let Wang Sang, Zhou Ping, Zhao An and others who have been following me make contributions. Sometimes I need to support the new generals to a certain extent to inject new vitality into my team instead of encouraging the Matthew Effect.

Under such circumstances, Li Ju and Huan Xuan returned to Yecheng for about half a month, and Liu Tai gave them 10,000 soldiers to complete the task of conquering Luoyang!

"King of Han, do you want me to recapture Luoyang?" Li Ju was surprised when he heard Liu Tai entrusting him with this task.

"During your stay in Xingyang, you took control of Hulao Pass and had many battles with Liu Yao's army." Liu Tai looked at Li Ju and said, "Now I plan to regain Luoyang. Compared with other people under my command, aren't you the most suitable?" people!"

"This..." Li Ju heard Liu Tai's words and immediately responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to your Majesty's trust and capture Luoyang!"

Huan Xuan on the side looked at Liu Tai with some surprise.

To be honest, although he didn't think Liu Tai would treat him and Li Ju badly, he didn't expect Liu Tai to entrust him with such an important task.

No matter how you say it, the city of Luoyang has some special significance. Now Liu Tai lets Li Ju and himself, a surrendered general, capture it. This is more or less paving the way for himself and Li Ju. Both Li Ju and Huan Xuan knew that this opportunity was hard to come by.

Under such circumstances, the only thing they can do is to do their best to seize this opportunity.

However, this matter was soon known to Zhou Ping. He came to the door of Liu Tai's palace and walked back and forth several times, but in the end he couldn't help but come over and ask to see Liu Tai.

After meeting Liu Tai, he bowed and said, "I have met the king."

"Well!" Liu Tai saw Zhou Ping and said, "Zizheng, what do you want to do here today?"

"I heard that the king sent Li Ju to conquer Luoyang. I feel that I am a minion of the king. How can I fall behind others!"

Zhou Ping looked at Liu Tai and said with a hint of sincerity, "Your Majesty, let me go. We will surely capture Luoyang, and maybe even Chang'an!"

"You!" Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping and sighed, "You, Zhao An, and Wang Sang are all commanders capable of commanding an army, how can you be minions?

Now that Wang Sang is stationed in Yuzhou and Zhao An is stationed in Youzhou, we need to guard the border personnel. Now the only person in the Jin court who can make me feel at ease is you.

You and I were born in the army together, and you are the general I trust most. If you want to take Luoyang, I will naturally recall Li Ju and let you command the army.

But if another foreign tribe appears in Bingzhou, the worst case scenario is that I will personally lead the troops northward! "

"I don't know how to praise, I am jealous, I know my sin!" When Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Tai, saying that he had absolutely no such thoughts in his heart.

Liu Tai quickly went up and helped Zhou Ping up. Looking at the blood on Zhou Ping's forehead, he knew that Zhou Ping was really scared.

In other words, as Liu Taizhang changed his position from commander-in-chief to general, he basically fought a decisive battle, and basically handed over all the things in his hands to the general.

At least most of the generals understood Liu Tai's decision. After all, if Liu Tai was responsible for everything, then where would his merits as a general come from.

As for the second point, although Liu Tai has always been victorious in every battle and his own force is as powerful as a monster, who can be sure when it comes to the battlefield.

After all, as powerful as Xiang Yu, Gaixia was defeated, and Guan Yu, who was powerful in the Central Plains, was defeated in Maicheng. Therefore, Liu Tai gradually changed his position from general to king. At least Liu Tai's subordinates still wanted to see it.

At least Liu Tai was much safer. At the same time, they felt more confident when they conquered the enemy. Even if they were defeated, Liu Tai would still be there.

At this moment, Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping with a pleasant look and said, "I will gradually reduce military conscription in the future and focus on governance.

So in the future, you should no longer regard yourself as just my minion. Instead, you should become the white jade pillar of the Han Dynasty, the purple golden beam of the sea, and even the pillar of my Han army. How can you move lightly! "

Zhou Ping couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard Liu Tai's words. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

To be honest, although Liu Tai asked him to lead the army when he attacked Yanzhou, he never expected that Liu Tai would take him so seriously.

After all, in Zhou Ping's view, he only fought frontal wars under Liu Tai.

Even in Zhou Ping's opinion, both Zhao An, who was valued by Liu Tai as a mobile unit, and Wang Sang, a relative, were valued more by Liu Tai than himself.

So if there was any mission, he would look for them. This made Zhou Ping naturally anxious when he saw Li Ju receiving the mission from Liu Tai. At least Zhou Ping felt that he was more qualified to crusade than Li Ju, a demoted general!

But now that Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, he felt a little more relaxed. At least he knew his position with Liu Tai. How could Zhou Ping be uneasy?

For Liu Tai, Wang Sang is considered a relative. This alone determines that he cannot let him fully control the military power, or become a central Central Plains official, and make him a border official. Meeting him every few years is the best choice.

Because he holds military power outside and Wang Wei is inside, this can complete checks and balances and reduce the impact on the court.

As for Zhao An, to a certain extent, he is the busiest army under his command. Especially when he needs to rescue victims, he will more easily dispatch his troops to rescue, because his troops have been close to the people from the beginning.

Just like this, it is impossible for him to give Zhao An too much military power, lest he become too big and lose his tail.

And Zhou Ping was brought out by himself and has always been the commander responsible for fighting the front.

Maybe his adaptability is not as good as Wang Sang's, and his awareness is not as good as Zhao An's, but by steadily gaining experience along the way, he has reached the edge of large-scale command, and maybe he is only one chance away from being able to break through.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if he can't break through. With his command method of Qingzhou Five Schools, he can basically fight any opponent. After all, his original intention was to make up for the lack of soldiers under the command.

It's just that I didn't expect that I was so talented. When I defeated Shi Le and Liu Yao, I successfully reached the level of commanding a large army. I even arm-wrestled with the seventy-two generals, and I was not inferior.

Now, I naturally hope that Zhou Ping can successfully overcome this hurdle and become the commander of the army.

But no matter what, after communicating with Liu Tai, Zhou Ping returned to his military camp in shame and began to train his soldiers more carefully.

Although Zhou Ping didn't know how to achieve this so-called level of command of a large army.

But if the king expects you to do it, then you must do it.

Even if he can't do it, he still has to train his soldiers to become absolute elites as much as possible. If any so-called commander of the army appears and he kills one by relying on his soldiers, he will be able to advance smoothly. .

It can only be said that this method is indeed very military. When you don’t know how to become a famous general, if you find a way to kill the famous general, then you will naturally become a famous general!

Although Li Ju didn't know about Liu Tai and Zhou Ping at this moment, he still went to the granary to collect supplies as soon as possible.

Because Li Ju also knew that this opportunity was only once for him as a demoted general, and he must seize it!
