The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 56 Enjoying Snow in Winter
With the heavy snowfall, the entire land of China has entered a relatively peaceful environment.

Compared with the war that lasted almost from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I can breathe a little bit now.

Now in the courtyard, Shi Le happily invited Liu Tai to cook wine and enjoy the snow together because he had moved to a new home.

Liu Tai did not refuse. After all, in Liu Tai's view, he and Shi Le were comrades who had just defeated the Jin army. There was no direct conflict between them. In such a situation, what did he have to worry about.

After all, his position is not a monarch, but a fierce general. Shi Le doesn't say whether he has different intentions, but there is no reason to attack him!
Just like this, Liu Taitan came over openly, but Tian Zhen still stayed in the military camp.

After all, Tian Zhen was still quite unhappy about being overshadowed by Shi Le, so he took the initiative to avoid activities with Shi Le.

The conscience of heaven and earth, at this time, Shi Le really had no intention of attacking Liu Tai. The reason was very simple. Ambition was not something that existed at the beginning, but was slowly born as his own strength developed.

Now Shi Le only has [-] recruits. He is afraid that he will have a brain disease so he would choose to betray the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, not to mention that the current emperor of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is Liu Yuan. Shi Le is somewhat grateful to Liu Yuan.

Without Liu Yuan's promotion, Shi Le would be nothing at all.

"Liu Huben! Come here today, the humble house is really full of splendor! Sit inside, sit inside!" Shi Le said enthusiastically to Liu Tai.

"Since it is General Shi Le who is happy to move into his new home, Tai should be here to congratulate him!" Liu Tai waved his hand and the generals brought gifts to him, "It's just a small gift, but I hope General Shi Le will accept it."

Shi Le looked at what Liu Tai had given him and saw that it was a strong bow. He couldn't help but pick it up and try it out himself. He was a little surprised and said, "This bow is so powerful. It must be five stones long!"

"As long as General Shi Le likes it, you can practice your arm strength when you have time!" Liu Tai smiled at Shi Le and said, "If I were not good at arrows, I would not be willing to give such a good bow to the general."

"That would be disrespectful!" Shi Le replied to Liu Tai with a smile and introduced him.

After entering, Liu Tai was accompanied by Chu Hui, and Shi Le was accompanied by Diao Ying. As for Zhang Bin, although he had made great achievements, he only stayed with the last person, but at least he was at the table.

But compared to Cao Cao's preference for green plums and wine, Shi Le preferred barbecue and wine.

A leg of lamb was roasted and delivered to Liu Tai. Liu Tai was not polite and sprinkled the meat with spices from the Western Regions. He picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of meat. Then he picked up his chopsticks and dipped them in the delicious sauce.

After taking a bite, Liu Tai couldn't help but squint, somewhat recalling the feeling of eating barbecue in his previous life.

Although there was no cooking method such as frying in this era, there were grilling and other cooking methods. As for spices and sauces, it was actually not difficult for the upper class to get them. What was really difficult was In fact, it is popularized among the common people.

Although modern life is full of Hex Technology, if ordinary people want to enjoy the taste excitement that only top families can enjoy, then taking Hex Technology is the most cost-effective way, but no one will have any problems with the taste. Just know it.

Shi Le watched Liu Tai slice and eat the lamb leg that he had roasted, and smiled with satisfaction.

Obviously, compared to those aristocratic families and nobles in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom who looked down on him, Shi Le was still very comfortable with Liu Tai's attitude towards him, a guy who looked young but was strong enough to stand by his side.

There is no disdain for his origins as a member of the Jie clan, nor is there any pride in taking credit for the achievements of the Huben Army.

Compared with Liu Tai, what kind of people are the adopted sons I have adopted? I really want to accept Liu Tai as my adopted son!

The practice of adopting adopted children seems to be quite common in Chinese history.

But really speaking, China attaches great importance to ethics, and most of the adopted children are used for sacrificial incense.

But for foreigners, it is just a simple alliance, and it may not actually be very close.

For example, a certain Lv who was good at Fang Tian's halberd painting killed at least two adoptive fathers. In the eyes of Chinese culture, this kind of thing is like a slave with three surnames, but for a person like Lv who lives in the frontier, It seemed that he had just severed the contract.

Therefore, this kind of kinship relationship is relatively common among border warriors and foreign races.

But later on, this custom became more and more absorbed by the Chinese mainland, and even became a means to strengthen power control.

Although Shi Le was very greedy when he saw Liu Tai, he also knew that he could not accept Liu Tai.

But the way of this world is to only think about what you can't get. Look at how much Cao Cao loves Guan Yunchang, he just can't get it!

Liu Tai ate the roasted leg of lamb calmly, and occasionally drank a sip of the heated light alcoholic beverage. After drinking for three rounds, Shi Le said to Liu Tai, "Wang Bin of Jizhou is dead, and the Xianbei army has also evacuated after the snow." , we took advantage of the situation and recovered a large part of the land.

However, since Wang Jun is here in Youzhou, I don’t dare to put too many troops on the border, for fear of arousing the other party’s vigilance or even taking the initiative to attack! "

"Wang Jun...hum!" Liu Tai snorted coldly when he heard the name, put the mutton slices in his mouth and chewed it.

"Does the general have any grudge against Wang Jun?" Diao Ying couldn't help but asked as he looked at Liu Tai.

"Killing my father and destroying my family!" Liu Tai said, "If the general attacks Wang Jun in the future, you can call me!"

"I believe Liu Huben will definitely get revenge one day!" Shi Le didn't expect that Wang Jun, who had been beating him violently, would have such an entanglement with Liu Tai.

But after thinking about it, Wang Jun was able to secure the position of governor of Youzhou. One of the important reasons was that Wang Jun could fight, very well.

Anyway, his last boss was killed by Wang Jun. When he thought of this, Shi Le looked at Liu Tai with more or less sympathy.

"Wang Jun is short-sighted. He thinks he can crack the earth in Youzhou and become a prince. In fact, he just doesn't understand the general trend of the world. He is dead in the grave. He will be captured in a battle in the future!" Liu Tai waved his hand.

"General, what do you think is the general trend of the world?" Zhang Bin asked curiously.

"In Luoyang!" Liu Tai said with a sure look, "If we can capture Luoyang, the Han Dynasty will be reborn and everything will be revolutionized."

"It's Luoyang!" Shi Le nodded in agreement. Although the Jin court is in chaos, it still maintains a normal organizational system.

The existence of this organizational system suppressed the vision of people like Wang Jun and Gou Xi who wanted to split the land and enfeoff the lords to become vassals.

Another aspect is that the Jin court can continue to absorb the resources of the entire world and continue to fight against the Huns and Han.

For the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, the most important thing was to defeat Luoyang with one blow.

On the contrary, the kind of force that wants to encroach all the way to the border areas and defeat the entire world step by step. Although it sounds quite passionate, in fact, just look at the results of Zhuge Kongming to know how difficult it is. Very difficult.

But Luoyang was defeated, and the entire country's leadership was destroyed. Not to mention, it would at least make the people with heavy military forces in the world grow ambitious and form a nationwide warlord regime.

By the way, it's best to wipe out all the members of the royal family before a disgusting old man comes out. "According to the order of King Chu, we first captured Yunzhou and then divided into two groups.

One of them needed to delay Gou Xi and lead his troops to Luoyang for rescue.One part is to continue southward, preferably to join the King of Chu in Hanoi and cut off the world's supply to Luoyang.

Liu Huben, which one are you going to choose? Shi Le looked at Liu Tai with concern.

"Asking knowingly!" Liu Tai glanced at Shi Le and said slowly,
"I want to go back to Qingzhou after all. Since Gou Xi blocks my way home, it means he is destined to do something wrong!"

"Okay!" Shi Le said immediately after hearing Liu Tai's words, "Liu Huben, if you need my help if you need anything, just ask!"

To be honest, based on Liu Tai's behavior, Shi Le could more or less predict that Liu Tai would choose to deal with Gou Xi instead of going south to cut off Luoyang's supplies.

But if these words didn't come out of Liu Tai's mouth, Shi Le would still be a little worried.

After all, Shi Le really didn't want to face Gou Xi.

Before Gou Xi's golden body was broken, any opponent would instinctively be afraid of him when they saw him.

And even if it failed for the first time in history, it cannot be said that there was something wrong with Gou Xi's military arrangement.

At that time, a strong wind suddenly blew, and Gou Xi's army happened to be in the headwind position, and was blown out of formation. Then Cao Yi's army seized the opportunity and defeated him. I can only say that God wanted him to lose, but there was really no sense in that. method.

After that, not only was Gou Xi's golden body broken, but his will also became corrupted, leading to the separation of his generals. Only then was Shi Le able to take care of him.

Therefore, Gou Xi was really a tough guy at this time, and Shi Le really didn't want to run into Gou Xi at this time.

Because Liu Tai came from a later generation, he had never heard the name Gou Xi, and he could not understand the fear of Gou Xi among people of this era.

On the contrary, Liu Tai believed that Gou Xi was just a normal person. He hadn't been defeated yet, just that he hadn't met anyone who hadn't defeated him yet.

Even if he is not that person, Liu Tai believes that his army will be the army that makes him fail.

In contrast, maybe the name Tao Kan has a greater deterrent effect on Liu Tai. After encountering him, he will probably be more alert and deal with it carefully.

After all, this is a 72-level general figure who is famous in history, completely different from parallel imports like Gou Xi.

"I need cavalry, but I don't know if the general is willing to part with it!" Liu Tai looked at Shi Le and was not polite!
The biggest difference between Shi Le and himself is that Shi Le has cavalry under his command, and they are an elite light cavalry.

In order to maintain this group of light cavalry, Shi Le even has his own horse farm. In addition, he is also a Jie tribe and has his own purchase channels on the grassland, so Shi Le's cavalry are Shi Le's biggest asset.

"This, this, this..." Shi Le couldn't help but hesitate.

Because he didn't expect Liu Tai to hit the snake with a stick so unceremoniously, but the cavalry under his command were his lifeblood, so how could Shi Le be willing to give it to Liu Tai? He immediately said:

"The cavalry must be used to cut off the food channels of the Jin army. It's not that I don't want to lend it to Liu Hu Benqi!"

"I understand, I understand!" Liu Tai smiled, knowing that Shi Le would not lend the cavalry easily, so he changed the subject and said,

"Can General Shi Le give me some horses? Even if I can't build cavalry, building a group of mounted infantry will give me a better chance of winning when facing Gou Xi!"

When Shi Le heard this, he couldn't help but feel a toothache, but Shi Le had to admit that if Liu Tai couldn't resist Gou Xi, then he might be stabbed mercilessly by Gou Xi from behind if he met Gou Xi!
When Shi Le thought of this, his head hurt.

After all, no one wants to face an opponent who has never failed before, at least the pressure on their heart is too great.

Liu Tai just looked at Shi Le silently, and looked at the changing expression on Shi Le's face. It was obvious that Shi Le was also struggling.

But Liu Tai waited silently for the result of Shi Le's struggle. After all, he helped you fight against Gou Xi. He didn't ask you for your cavalry, but just wanted to get some horses from you. It's not too much!
"How many horses does Liu Huben need?" Shi Le finally said through gritted teeth.

"It depends on the sincerity of General Shi Le!" Liu Tai said with a smile, "But if you want to resist a famous general like Gou Xi, no matter what you do, it won't be too much!"

"Two thousand! Only two thousand at most!" Finally, Shi Le gritted his teeth and told Liu Tai a number.

"Thank you General Shi Le for your generous donation. I will definitely not let Gou Xi interfere with King Chu's plan this time!" Liu Tai said decisively.

"Then I'll leave Gou Xi to Liu Huben!" Shi Le took a deep breath and couldn't help but say.

After the official chat was over, Liu Tai continued to enjoy the snow with everyone.

Of course, even if Liu Tai could memorize an article like "Qinyuanchun·Snow", he would not dare to take it out and recite it at this time. After all, he only has one head, which is not enough to chop it off!

The most important thing is that this kind of pure risking one's life to show off does not bring any actual benefits.

After all, poets have no future in this era. Being a martial artist and receiving martial arts medals is the most promising job in this era!

But after I go back, I can sort out the poems about joining the army and so on. Maybe I can use them in the future.

In the evening, everyone dispersed and Liu Tai returned to the military camp.

After all, there were not many people in Yecheng, and Liu Tai had no nostalgia for his mansion. In contrast, it was much easier to stay in the military camp.

At least in the military camp, Liu Tai had the confidence to suppress no matter what kind of enemy he encountered.

And as the number of troops under Liu Tai's command expanded to 1, the trouble caused by this number increased exponentially.

Not to mention the various quarrels and fights that occasionally occurred in the military camp, the soldiers were much busier than when there were only 3000 people.

This had to force Liu Tai to increase the number of auxiliary troops and even the Huotou Army, which was also one of the reasons for asking Shi Le for horses.

Because there are no commanders under him who know how to train cavalry, and Liu Tai himself is still figuring it out, don't even think about cavalry.

It's not just a warrior riding a horse or a cavalry, it requires the coordination of the overall tactics, and it also requires the running-in of the horse itself.

But if you just use horses to carry things, you can at least increase the speed of your army, which is enough for Liu Tai.
