The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 62 The powerless Xu Gong

"I'm here to save you!" Chu Hui looked at Yang Man and said with great sincerity, "In the entire Taishan County, even if you are included, you will not be able to resist General Liu from the time he conferred the land. Plus you are just sending yourself to death!"

"Granting fields...granting fields! How dare he!" Yang Man couldn't help clenching his fists after listening to Chu Hui's words!

"What does he dare to do? In order to defeat Gou Xi and return to Qingzhou, General Liu has thought about it from the beginning!"

Chu Hui sighed, "From the very beginning, he used the idea that he could not defeat Gou Xi head-on as the starting point of his plan. How terrible!"

"Mouyuan, since you are trusted by Liu Tai, now you are entrusted with an important task. With you as an internal agent, you can unite the wealthy families of Taishan County to attack internally and externally. Can't we defeat Liu Tai!" Yang Man couldn't help but feel a little eager. Said to Chu Hui.

"Don't say such ridiculous things again!" Chu Hui immediately rejected Yangman's idea.

"Mouyuan, you are also a member of the Chu family of the Western Jin Dynasty, not only the first rank, but at least the second and third rank nobles. Are you willing to waste your time in the hands of a kid?" Yangman looked at Chu Hui's appearance and said to him again Chu Hui said.

When Chu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but sit down and said seriously, "Zu Yan, didn't you listen to me? From the beginning, Liu Huben took the idea that he could not defeat Gou Xi head-on as the starting point of his plan."

"Is there anything strange about this?" After hearing Chu Hui's words, Yang Man asked doubtfully, "Could it be that he is still planning on the basis of being able to defeat Gou Xi head-on? If that is the case, then he is really arrogant and ignorant. !”

"The problem is, since I followed him and watched him lead the army independently, whether it was attacking Yecheng, fighting Changping, crossing Heluo, or even leading an army alone now, I have never seen him defeated!"

Chu Hui couldn't help but look up at the sky. Unless he was actually walking beside Liu Tai, it would be difficult to appreciate Liu Tai's charm.

"Such a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old has won consecutive battles all the way, but he can still suppress his arrogance when facing Gou Xi and make plans based on his inability to defeat Gou Xi head-on. Don't you find it terrifying!"

"Even so, what does this have to do with you!" Yang Man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and had to admit that if he had such a result, he would be looking over his head, but Liu Tai was still cautious in setting up his marching formation. This has to be lamented.

"So, if there is anyone in the world who can restore the Han Dynasty, it must be Liu Huben!" Chu Hui looked at Yang Man and said solemnly.

"You're crazy!" Yang Man couldn't help but stood up when he heard Chu Hui's words, and said, "It's just him, that fifteen- or sixteen-year-old kid! The Han Dynasty has perished, and now it's Jinting, Jinting, you Understand!"

"Then do you want to call yourself a Han person, or do you want to call yourself a Jin person!" Chu Hui looked at Yang Man and said.

"I...I..." Yangman heard Chu Hui's words, but was asked such a question and couldn't stand upright.

Yangman sat down helplessly and said, "The Jin court is so bad. It means that the country does not dare to be loyal, that corrupt officials are rampant, that it is forced by the Xiongnu hypocrites to attack Luoyang - well, compared to the Han Dynasty, even if It was the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Jin court was even a little behind!"

Yangman told the truth that he really wanted to give Jin Ting better examples to persuade him.

The reality is that the Jin Dynasty is far behind not only when compared with the Han Dynasty when it was at its most glorious, but also when compared with the Han Dynasty at its bleakest period at the end of Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, a random family of princes beat the surrounding foreigners so that they did not dare to raise their heads. However, in the Western Jin Dynasty, they were severely beaten by the Xiongnu foreigners. Even if they wanted to praise the Jin court, they could not find a reason.

The most important thing is that he has been well-known since he was a child. He was summoned by subordinates in the state and even the imperial tutor, but he chose not to take up the post because he looked down on the current turbulent Jin court.

Thinking of this, Yang Man shook his head and said, "In the final analysis, you still want me to surrender to the puppets. I didn't even go to the Jin court for recruitment. How can I surrender to the puppets now? For the sake of my former friends, don't do it." Dirty my ears!"

"Liu Huben is Liu Huben, and the Xiongnu pseudo-Hans are Xiongnu pseudo-Hans. As long as you have seen the way Liu Huben led the army and his determination to grant land, I can be sure that there will be some conflicts between Liu Huben and the Xiongnu pseudo-Hans in the near future. It's time to cut it in two!" Chu Hui said.

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Yang Man sighed, "So what if he can return to the Han Dynasty? After all, our Yang family is the family of Sima's relatives, and we are as prosperous as the Jin Dynasty. Even if we choose, how can we choose General Huben!" "

Chu Hui said: "Because your family and the Sima family are both prosperous, your only choice is to seize this opportunity.

Not for your own sake, Yangman, but for the future survival of your Yang family!

Since the Battle of Changping in the Han and Jin Dynasties, the offensive and defensive momentum in the world has been reversed. It would be easy to say if the Jin court could consolidate its internal strength, but Sima Yue of the Jin court called on the world to be diligent, but now who would be diligent to the king.

Luoyang is still there now, so the Jin court is still there. If Luoyang falls, the Jin court will definitely perish! "

"Emperor Wu caused the disaster of Ganquan. Luoyang hasn't been conquered yet!" Yang Man said stubbornly.

When Chu Hui heard this, he sat down and said: "The Sima family dared to compare with Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu controlled the whole country, but look at the princes with military power and power in the world, who wants to rescue the Jin court.

The demise of the Jin Dynasty is the general trend of the world. Not only the Xiongnu and the puppet Han want Luoyang to be destroyed, but also Wang Jun of Youzhou, Gou Xi of Qingzhou, Sima Rui, the king of Langya in Jiangzuo, who can dominate one area, who doesn't want Luoyang to fall, Sima Yue died !
Those within the Jin court who can rescue Luoyang are probably all looking forward to the early fall of Luoyang! "

Yangman couldn't help being surprised when he heard Chu Hui's words. As Chu Hui broke this point, Yangman suddenly found that the situation between the Xiongnu, Han and Jin Dynasty suddenly became clear.

Yes, it seems that the Xiongnu and Han family are attacking Luoyang, but in fact, except Zhang Gui of Liangzhou, who is loyal to the Jin court.

One by one, the feudal officials just wished that the Jin Dynasty would be overthrown as soon as possible so that this layer of restraint above their heads could be lifted.

At least in the eyes of the feudal officials who were separatist, they would be trapped in the dragon and ascend to heaven to show their ambitions.

None of them wanted to bear the reputation of regicide, so they did not stop the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty from attacking Luoyang.

But who can blame such a thing? The Jin court never advocated loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, because they themselves had no face to mention it.

Therefore, they spent a lot of money to win over the aristocratic families, which led to a situation where the aristocratic families even competed with each other for wealth.

Now, with the battle of Changping between the Han and Jin Dynasties, all the powerful frontier officials saw that they had the opportunity to become princes. How could these feudal officials miss it? After all, gold and silver wealth cannot be exchanged for the princes. What power you have!

Chu Hui stood up after saying this and said in a deep voice:

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This time, your Yang family has saved you by clearing its name for generations. Liu Huben has no intention of touching your family.

But the premise is that you don't get involved in the rebellion in Taishan County. As for whether you want to send someone to Liu Huben as a consultant, your family can decide for yourself.But a thousand words mean one thing, don’t make a mistake! "

"Xie Mouyuan!" Yang Man heard Chu Hui's words, but sincerely thanked Chu Hui.

Chu Hui waved his hand and was about to leave the Yang family.

Yangman watched Chu Hui leave, but at this moment, he was thinking more silently about where the Yang family would go in the future.

After all, with the current prestige of the Yang family, even if they seek refuge, they will go directly to Liu Yuan instead of to Liu Tai.

Fortunately, Liu Tai didn't mean to force the Yang family to take sides, and that was enough for the Yang family.

At least let's see if Luoyang will fall, and then decide what choice the Yang family should make.

For any aristocratic family, they are not afraid of waiting any longer, even if they make less profit.

But they are afraid that they will make mistakes. If they make mistakes, their family's thousands of years of inheritance may be completely ruined.

Xu Gong didn't know what the Taiyang family was planning, but Xu Gong knew that since the Taiyang family didn't come forward, he had to make his own decision.

In the end, Xu Gong couldn't resist the persuasion of a local wealthy family, so he gave up defending Wubao and planned to take the initiative to attack Fenggao.

Again, when Xu Gong accepts funding from a local aristocratic family, he will inevitably be influenced by the local aristocratic family.

Maybe one or two local aristocratic families cannot influence Xu Chan's decision-making, but when the vast majority of Taishan's wealthy families unite, Xu Chan has no way to resist this collective will. This is different from Xu Chan's personal will. It doesn't matter.

Liu Tai did not attack the Wubao where Xu Gong was located, but chose to expropriate the land of Mount Tai, which naturally hit the local aristocratic family's seven inches.

Especially the news released by Liu Tai is that he is still training troops. It is impossible for the local wealthy family to give Liu Tai time to divide the land, train the soldiers, and then deal with them.

When Liu Tai's actions are really related to the vital interests of the local wealthy families, the execution ability of these wealthy families is also very terrifying. At least the only thing Xu Gong can choose is to respect the collective will!

Since he was taking the initiative to attack Liu Tai, Xu Gong did not dare to be careless and immediately dispatched all his troops to attack.
With the intention of the first battle being the decisive battle, he completely gathered his [-] troops, and the army came forward!

Marching all the way, they arrived at Zishui, where Liang's father was, and the wealthy army saw a neatly armored and majestic army.

They were carrying the banner of Liu Zi, and it seemed as if they had been waiting for a long time at this moment!

Xu Gong couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Liu Tai's army would actually appear on his only way. This was something Xu Gong didn't expect at all.

In Xu Gong's view, Liu Tai's army was small in number after all. They must have made the right choice to defend the city at this moment, instead of rushing out to fight with their main force in vain.

However, compared with the surprise that Liu Tai's decision brought to him, Xu Gong felt more palpitated because of the army under Liu Tai. It was completely different from the army formed by the wealthy clan under his command.

Needless to say, that kind of uniform majesty gave me a strong spiritual shock, as if it was my enemy, but it seemed that it would become the biggest nightmare in my life!

Liu Tai looked at the scene in front of him and didn't say much. Instead, he gave an order and the former soldiers began to advance step by step.

The uniform movements of the soldiers on the battlefield made this improvised army of wealthy people tremble unconsciously.

Out of survival instinct, they felt inexplicable fear as they watched Liu Tai's army advancing step by step!

Liu Tai's former army was led by Zhou Ping, a somewhat taciturn and not very prominent figure in Liu Tai's army.

But he is the person in Liu Tai's army who carries out Liu Tai's orders most thoroughly. He seems to be an ordinary pure soldier, using his own actions to fulfill Liu Tai's orders.

This time, he commanded his phalanx to advance step by step toward the powerful army along the Zi River. What seemed like a simple and unpretentious move, was actually a step-by-step advancement that brought great impact to the powerful army. Psychological stress.

"Go... attack! Kill these traitors for me!" I don't know which wealthy person could not bear the pressure and roared!

Xu Gong's face became extremely ugly. He didn't want this war to start, and he didn't want the war to happen at this moment.

And as an army began to charge, other surrounding wealthy troops charged with others in mind. It seemed that they would not be very embarrassed if they did not follow, so they also chose to charge towards Liu Tai's army!
There was no way because Xu Gong's troops were mostly composed of servants and private soldiers of wealthy families. Although the soldiers obeyed Xu Gong's orders, the direct command of these troops was in the hands of their original masters.

Xu Gong could only command their master, and then further command the soldiers below.

What maintains the entire wealthy army is not a command system, but the binding force of the wealthy families on their soldiers.

This can't be blamed on Xu Gong. After all, Xu Gong is just getting started and everything is in a hurry. As long as he survives this time and has experience, I believe Xu Gong will definitely not make such a mistake again. Of course, he will have the next time. .

But Liu Tai's army was different. From the beginning, Liu Tai paid the most attention to organizational building. After several months of rectification movements and the reorganization and adaptation of the soldiers, Zhou Ping led the front army to advance step by step, and the soldiers mutually A very good cooperation was formed between them.

The soldiers of the wealthy clan who rushed forward seemed to want to use their courage and roar to overwhelm Zhou Ping's front army formation in one breath.

But what greeted them was the large shield supported by the soldiers in the front row, and the spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields. There were also sporadic arrows shot from the shields of both hands, covering these wealthy soldiers indiscriminately. of the head.

The military formation that Liu Tai had trained for a long time was finally revealed at this moment.

Although even veterans display such military formations on the battlefield, they inevitably become unfamiliar.

But when they found that the soldiers of the wealthy clan who were rushing towards them were standing still in front of their own army formation, and were really resisted by the soldiers in the front row holding large shields and wearing armor, the soldiers behind them could really relax and cooperate in the battle, and This cooperation will become more and more skillful!
At this time, the soldiers of the wealthy family could not shake Liu Tai's army even half a point, but they were pushed back by Liu Tai's army at this moment!
