The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 75

The soldiers swept the battlefield as quickly as possible and set a fire to burn the camp.

Then they all retreated to Laiwu City. As for Gou Chun's defeated troops, some chose to continue fleeing to the top of the mountain or deep into the woods, and some chose to roll down the cliff directly. Maybe they would be lucky enough to survive.

But the vast majority of Gou Chun's soldiers put down their weapons and chose to surrender after Gou Chun was caught.

Liu Tai then withdrew to Laiwu with more than 2000 warriors and more than 2000 wounded prisoners under Gou Xi's command.

Naturally, Liu Tai did not hold any banquet to celebrate today's victory. After all, this war would not end with Gou Chun's defeat. On the contrary, it was just the beginning.

However, after Liu Tai returned to the city, he purchased most of the local pigs and sheep and slaughtered them to feed the soldiers.

Liu Tai knew very well that the promises he made, especially the promises he made to his soldiers, must be fulfilled. If he cannot be fulfilled, it will come back to bite him on the battlefield.

Today's soldiers naturally feel that the food is much better. The fragrant lard sauce bibimbap, the delicious lamb bone and cabbage soup, and the oil stars floating in it are all delicacies that they can't even imagine!

After defeating Gou Chun's army today and eating these fragrant meats, the soldiers who were licking blood from their swords immediately felt great psychological satisfaction.

The morale of their soldiers has improved again, and they are even looking forward to Gou Xi's arrival!

Especially Ge Xin and one of the 500 people who survived the battle. Liu Tai each rewarded them with a pig's trotter or a sheep's trotter. Unfortunately, he didn't have any wine in his hand, otherwise he might have let these people take care of even the wine.

Because they will have a good sleep next, at least the war will have nothing to do with them in a short period of time.

Of course, the soldiers and commanders were enjoying the short-term celebration brought by the victory after the war, and Liu Tai came to the military historians. Also present were Meng Dong, Wang Jingru and others with sweat on their foreheads.

At this moment, Liu Tai's face looked a little solemn, without any joy of winning the battle. He said solemnly, "The war that belongs to the soldiers has come to an end, but the war that belongs to us has just begun!"

“From now on, our army must have a regulation that must be implemented from beginning to end, and that is preferential treatment for prisoners.

The food is in accordance with the standards of county soldiers, and after the war, the medical battalion must rescue our wounded before rescuing them. "

Liu Tai glanced at everyone and said, "Which one of you has an opinion?"

"Me!" Master Xi stepped forward with a sonorous voice and said seriously.

Several people around gave Master Xi a dirty look. Liu Tai is mentally ill, and this is not the first day you have known about it!

So what if you agree to it? If you really carry it out, you will see if the soldiers below will carry it out.

If it cannot be implemented, General Liu will naturally withdraw this regulation!
"Isn't my order right?" Liu Tai looked at Xi Zhubo, a tough guy who always stood up for unpleasant things.

"This matter needs to be informed to the whole army, and it needs to be recorded in history. If the general has no reasonable reason, one second the soldiers are fighting for life and death, and the next second he allows these prisoners to receive county soldiers' meals, it will definitely make the soldiers feel confused. If there is resentment, the army will surely mutiny over time.”

Xi Zhubo said without hesitation, "If I know that the general is wrong but refuse to admonish him, how can I write down history?"

When Liu Tai heard this, he glanced at Xi Zhubo in surprise. He really didn't expect that Xi Zhubo would say such a thing.

But Liu Tai pressed his temples, and he had to say that he was overthinking it.

I originally thought that if I gave the order now, the soldiers would support it unconditionally.

But no, the soldiers under his command are human beings, thoughtful people. They are warriors who can fight with their lives without hesitation at certain times.

But similarly, when their orders are illogical to them at least, the soldiers below will instinctively resist.

Because they are thoughtful, they do not follow them for a meal, but because they feel that following them can give them a chance of self-realization. In other words, the way they are shaped is what they expect.

Just like this, if he has defeated Gou Xi and completely captured the soldiers, Liu Tai believes that these people will not object if he proposes preferential treatment for the prisoners or the method of selecting soldiers from them.

But now, although Gou Chun was defeated, the entire battle was not yet completely over. At this time, he proposed preferential treatment for the prisoners, but the soldiers would not agree.

It's simple, because the food these prisoners ate and the medical treatment they received were originally benefits to these soldiers.

This kind of misappropriation of resources will definitely cause a backlash from the soldiers.

Liu Tai took a deep breath and said seriously, "When some of my orders conflict with your thinking, then first see if my position has changed!"

When everyone present heard Liu Tai's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Xi Zhubo.

After all, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just wait and see how Xi Zhubo answers.

And Xi Zhubo said without being humble or condescending, "Has the general's position not changed?!"

"My position remains the same, to restore the Han Dynasty and unify the world!" Liu Tai looked at Xi Zhubo's extremely firm answer.

Xi Zhubo Bo Lue said with some doubt, "But if you treat the prisoners well, can you restore the Han Dynasty and unify the world!?"

"They are indeed soldiers of the Jin court, and many of them are elites!" Liu Tai thought of how they fought in the mountains. He had to say that it was precisely because of this that Liu Tai wanted to treat them well, subdue them, and make them awesome.

Liu Tai said seriously, "But precisely because of this, we must treat them well, promote the restoration of the Han Dynasty, and accelerate the unification of the world!"

Liu Tai did not wait for others to say anything, but continued,
“We are at odds with the Jin court, but we must figure out who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Who do you think our enemy is?Who are our potential friends? "

"The Sima family and the families who follow him should be our enemies, and our friends should be the families from all over the country who are willing to join us in the crusade against the Sima family!"

Xi Zhubo thought about it and gave Liu Tai an answer. The other military historians nodded after thinking for a while.

After all, the current Jin court is supported by aristocratic families, and even many people in military history are inextricably linked to aristocratic families.When Liu Tai heard this, he chuckled and couldn't help but said, "What about the people? Where are the soldiers? Where are you even?!"

Xi Zhubo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words. At this moment, the military historians present felt as if the sky was exploding.

They didn't expect that Liu Tai would ask such three questions at this time.

"Are you... a potential friend of General Liu?" Military historians were confused and did not understand.

After all, for them, they have never thought about their status, or they may just write their own military history with peace of mind, and then after they get married, they will copy these military history volumes as their own family For family heirloom purposes.

From then on, I could lick my face and say that I was an heir of poetry and calligraphy, and even came from a scholarly family.

And Liu Tai looked at the dazed look of these people and realized that these people had never thought that he himself was also at the bottom, a force that was incompatible with the wealthy families!

Liu Tai continued, "The Jin court is the Jin court of the aristocratic family. The nine-level Zhongzheng system is the official selection system of the aristocratic family. The land occupation system is the land occupation system of the aristocratic family. They have mastered everything and do not give you a little gap. The Jin court will not Unfortunately, you will never get ahead.

And I can still be literate to some extent, but what about those people who really live at the bottom, and the soldiers who were forcibly recruited as soldiers?
Compared with us, Jin Ting, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, is probably the most serious encroachment on them!
I believe that the people at the lower levels absolutely hate the Jin Ting, and they have even more anger and flames towards the Jin Ting in their hearts.

Aren't such people our potential allies?Aren’t they the force we should strive for!

And this force was ignored by Jin Ting, we cannot ignore it! "

After Xi Zhubo heard what Liu Tai said, he bowed solemnly to Liu Tai and said: "I have no objection to the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, but it is not easy to civilize them. Is there anything General Liu can do?" idea?"

"Yes!" Liu Tai heard Xi Zhubo's words, "The first is the medical camp, you do your best to save them.

Because they are not our own yet, it is because we have not yet influenced them, and they do not know their identity.

But although they are now Jin people, with the emancipation of their minds, they finally understand that they are actually Han people! "

"No!" Meng Dong and Wang Rujing replied without any pressure, because as doctors they wanted to save people.

Liu Tai nodded and continued, "The second step is to take action and empathize with them.

I believe that in this world, the hemp rope is cut at the thinnest, and misfortune only seeks out the miserable. The beauty of the aristocratic families is the same, but the suffering of the common people is different.

Therefore, you need to guide them to express their sufferings of being persecuted by wealthy families and aristocratic families.

If you don't have it yourself, there's no need to insist on it. Go to your village and ask who has had their territory taken away by a wealthy family, or even had their families destroyed. You can ask them to come and tell it in person.

Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. There is no need for deception in this matter, only sincerity and sincerity are required!
After gaining emotional resonance, let's say that we are the army of the Han Dynasty, and we want to liberate the people of the Jin Dynasty from the painful slavery of the Jin Dynasty.

Let the people be able to become good family members with land and property just like they did in the Han Dynasty. They can guide the country through literature and serve the Han Dynasty through martial arts. From now on, the old will have someone to rely on, the young will have someone to support them, the strong will have discipline, and the weak will have something to hold on to, and everyone will do their best. Everyone shows their talents.

Rather than being someone who can bully you, even if you try your best, you may not be able to survive in this world.

Such a world is definitely a wrong world, so we need to overthrow it together and build a new one! "

At this moment, Liu Tai was very passionate about writing. He showed no signs of stage fright when facing these military historians. Instead, he tried his best to describe the big man in his mind.

These military historians looked at each other. They were extremely sure that at least the Han Dynasty in the "Book of Han" was not as beautiful as Liu Tai said. I am afraid that only the Datong society in the history books could be as brilliant as Liu Tai said. Bar!

Xi Zhubo remained calm. He picked up the pen and started writing at this moment.

The military historians around looked at Xi Zhubo's attitude. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should lament that Xi Zhubo had the courage to remonstrate directly, or lamented that Xi Zhubo had a soft body and could be so active when he should flatter him.

Liu Tai was also a little curious at this moment and said to Xi Zhubo, "Xi Zhubo, what are you recording?"

Master Xi Bo said calmly and calmly, "The general has great ambitions, and Xi has the heart to write. Today and now, I personally record the general's wish to overthrow the old Jin court and establish a new Han Dynasty. From then on, the people of Jin became Han people, and those who tilled the soil had their own land." , Weavers have their own tools, writers have their duties, warriors have their honors, the old have someone to support them, the young have someone to support them, and the people all use their talents and abilities, right?"

Xi Zhubo stopped writing silently, with an expression that seemed to say, the signature has been established!
Why does it feel like there are a lot of weird things added to it?
The heart of a scholar is so dirty. Why do I feel like I’m being held up!
Liu Tai complained in his heart, but when he saw the gazes of all the military historians on him, he could not say aloud at this time,

"No, no, I think some of the content in it should be changed..." Then do I still want to lose face? !
Therefore, Liu Tai said without any hesitation: "Exactly! What Xi Zhubo recorded is exactly what I said in my heart!"

Master Xi didn't say much. After he finished writing, he saluted Liu Tai solemnly, and then said, "The general's heart is so bright, just like the moonlight in the dark night illuminates the direction for us. The general has such a heart of great unity, and our military history will be natural." I am willing to follow you through life and death!"

The surrounding military historians saw this scene and went from being sparse to saying in unison, "We military historians are willing to accompany you life and death!"

Although the surrounding military historians don't really understand why they talk about life and death.

But as a subordinate, even if he is not clever enough to flatter me, he still knows how to say nice things to me!

However, Xi Zhubo came to his senses and said again, "But how to verify that these soldiers are really willing to submit to us?"

"There is no need to submit to us!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "Gou Xi will come here soon. Even if they defect to us immediately, we don't dare to use them.

So we told them truthfully that because their family members and friends were all in Qingzhou, they would not be allowed to join us or even appear on the battlefield, otherwise they would definitely be hated by Gou Xi.

Since we want to have heart-to-heart conversations with them, we must first treat them as human beings and understand their concerns.

If they really want to help, they can just help carry the heavy objects below.

If they don't want to do it, as long as they rest in the cell and don't cause trouble, we will let them go back after we finish the battle with Gou Xi! "

"Are we going to let them go back?!" After hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone present couldn't help but look in disbelief.

"Of course we have to let them go back. If we don't let them go back, how can we defeat Gou Xi and return to Qingzhou!"
