The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 145 Meeting Wen Qiao
Soon, they reported their choice to Liu Tai the next day.

Liu Tai also abided by the agreement and said to the Duan brothers, "Are you going to leave with Liu Kun's envoy, or are you going to go back to the Xianbei tribe by yourself?"

"Liu Kun? Could it be General Liu from Jinyang?" Duan Shujun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

There is no way, Liu Kun's reputation is naturally much better than Liu Tai. Even though Liu Kun is not very good at controlling people, he can attract people!

"Well!" Liu Tai looked at the Duan brothers and said calmly, "Although I won't go back on my word, at least I have to do my best to make the two people who stay feel at ease. This way we can get along more happily, right?"

Hearing Liu Tai's candid explanation, several people present couldn't help but look at each other, because they were a little uncomfortable with Liu Tai's frankness.

However, Liu Tai continued, "In the battle at Nanpi City, the Xianbei cavalry was dealt a devastating blow by me.

Even if all the strong men killed by the Xianbei soldiers were not dead, the Xianbei tribe should have been severely damaged, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled! "

Listening to Liu Tai say these words so calmly, the dead man clenched his fists unconsciously, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "I really have the urge to hit him. For the sake of Xianbei, I must endure it." Come down!"

Liu Tai continued, "Wang Jun and I are afraid that there will still be a war, and if your tribe does not participate, it will definitely be attacked by Wang Jun.

If I get involved, I'm afraid there will be no more Duan Xianbei after the fight!
So if you can take this opportunity to join Liu Kun, it might be a good choice.

After all, Liu Kun is also at a low point now, and he even needs a force to check and balance Tuoba Xianbei in his territory. You should have done something in the past!
Of course, how you choose to go is up to you.

I'm just telling you about the situation ahead. It's up to you to decide whether you want to leave or not! "

After hearing Liu Tai's analysis, the Xianbei Duans present couldn't help but look at each other. They really didn't expect Liu Tai to point out such a path.

But after listening to Liu Tai's analysis, Duan Pixian stood up and said, "General, why are you so caring for us?"

“Those who left returned to the tribe and made a name for themselves, and those who stayed would trust me and serve me wholeheartedly.

Sooner or later, they will understand that I really want to point out a new path for Xianbei people, and following my choice is the future direction of Xianbei! "

Liu Tai looked at Duan Pixi and said, "So, I will do my best to make it easier for you to start."

Duan Shujun stood up after hearing Liu Tai's words, saluted Liu Tai and said, "Please help the general to introduce him!"

"It's easy to say, you are just waiting for the good news here!" Liu Tai said to the Duan brothers.

Soon, Liu Tai comforted the Duan brothers and met Wen Qiao under Chu Hui's arrangement.

Wen Qiao Fengyi is handsome and thoughtful, and looks a bit comfortable. Liu Tai said very calmly:
"You are a guest, please take your seat first, and I will serve you refreshments!"

Soon a maid came over to bring tea. This tea was a health tea prepared by Liu Tai and asked Meng Dong and other doctors to add cool herbs such as mint and licorice according to the flowers of each season. It was eaten with cakes to balance yin and yang. .

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Tai did not find the tea tree. There should be tea trees in this era, but he just couldn't find them.

Liu Tai calmly took a bite of pastries, drank a sip of tea, and then made a gesture of invitation to Wen Qiao!
Naturally, Wen Qiao would not refuse at this moment and followed Liu Tai's example.

At this moment, when you enter the pastry, you will soon feel the soft and delicate pastry, combined with the scented tea that soaks the heart and lungs. After eating, you will have a mouth full of fragrance and a feeling of unfinished food.

Wen Qiao had to admit that the delicacy Liu Tai prepared for him was indeed delicious. However, when Wen Qiao recalled the delicacy, he suddenly woke up. He could not be corrupted by this small delicacy, so he continued to sit upright.

Liu Tai saw that Wen Qiao only took one bite and then stopped eating the cake, and said, "Master Wen, but this tea doesn't suit your taste?"

"No, no, no, this pastry is extremely delicious, but when I think that I have not completed Liu Bingzhou's commission, I feel very ashamed. Even if there are thousands of delicious things, for me at this moment, it is just like chewing wax!" Wen Qiao couldn't help but say.

When Liu Tai heard this, he glanced at Chu Hui. Chu Hui stood up at this moment, with a serious face and a majestic voice:

"My lord, Liu Kun just defeated my Han army in Jinyang. The six family members of Duan Ji that the general sent there last time have been beheaded by your majesty. Now I send you Wen Qiao's head. I believe it will please your majesty even more!"

"Huh? Yeah." Liu Tai only made a few nasal noises after hearing Chu Hui's words, looking very conscious.

When Wen Qiao heard that Liu Tai seemed to be very interested, he laughed decisively, "Hahahahahaha!"

Liu Tai suddenly became energetic. Is this the hahaha mode of lobbyists?

Is it better to watch him laugh there, or to interrupt his laughter? Well, continue to think about it and don’t be in a hurry!
"I said, hurry up and interrupt my laughter. I won't be able to hold my breath any longer!"

Wen Qiao couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Liu Tai just laughing at him quietly without any intention of interrupting.

However, Chu Hui knew the process of lobbying and was the first to say, "Why are you laughing!"

"I laugh at you that you are already trapped in a dead end without realizing it. Liu Bingzhou asked me to come here. I thought that the world with the surname Liu is one family. In such troubled times, we should help each other and fight against powerful enemies together. Now it seems that it is just Liu Bingzhou's wishful thinking. .”

Wen Qiao said to Liu Tai, "If Liu Qingzhou wants to kill me, just kill him. But after he kills me, he will be sure to be buried in the northwest. My Lord is here!"

"A righteous man!" Liu Tai heard Wen Qiao's words and knew that the process had come to this point, so he had to say soft words no matter what.

At this time, Liu Tai said to Wen Qiao: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wen, I admire the righteous man the most in my life, so how could he do such unjust things?

I invite you to go on a mission to Qingzhou today, and I will definitely keep you safe.

However, I would like to ask the envoy to explain clearly what the envoy is here for today! "

"Liu Bingzhou is naturally here to save the Duke!" Wen Qiao said calmly after hearing Liu Tai's inquiry.

"Save... me?" Liu Tai said with a smile when he heard this.

"Of course I'm here to save the Duke!" Wen Qiao said solemnly, "In order to deal with the Duke, Wang Jun has sent envoys to contact the forces surrounding the Duke and compiled a big tiger net. He wants to The prince swallowed it in one gulp.

When Liu Bingzhou heard the news, he was very worried about the Duke, so he sent me to inform the Duke of the matter! "

"Oh!?" When Liu Tai heard Wen Qiao's words, he was a little careless at the moment, looking at Wen Qiao and saying:
"I don't know who is on this list. Can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course there is Shi Le, a colleague of the Duke, who is now trading with Wang Jun, including grain. In addition, I heard that Wang Jun sent an envoy to Jiangdong to find the Jin King Sima Rui!" Wen said Qiao looked at Liu Tai and said slowly. "Sima Rui?" Liu Tai smiled, "Sima Rui can't defeat me!"

When Wen Qiao heard Liu Tai's words, he said calmly, "If you want to deal with the county prince, Sima Rui is certainly not his opponent, but what Wang Jun really wants to liberate is someone else!"

"You mean Gou Xi..." Liu Tai said with a bit of doubt on his face when he heard Wen Qiao's words.

"I didn't say anything!" Wen Qiao looked at Liu Tai and said, "No matter what, the Duke is surrounded by enemies on all sides. In the whole world, only we, Liu Bingzhou, are willing to form an alliance with you to deal with Wang Jun together!"

"So I want to thank Liu Bingzhou for his help. I don't know what Liu Bingzhou wants!" Liu Tai heard Wen Qiao's words and faced Wen Qiao directly.

"The Duke is too worried. Liu Bingzhou is purely serving his public purpose and wants to take back the land that originally belonged to him!" Wen Qiao looked at Liu Tai, and then said slowly, "I believe the Duke has the beauty of an adult!"

"Understood!" Liu Tai smiled after hearing Wen Qiao's words, "It's just that I'm curious about what kind of land Liu Kun wants. Is it the entire Bingzhou, the Jizhou he occupied at the beginning, or Wang Jun's Youzhou?

If he only had this news, his thinking would be too simple. An inch of land and an inch of blood, no one would give in easily!
I don't doubt Liu Kun's ambition to regroup, but his foundation in Jinyang was severely damaged by Liu Yao. I doubt he can pull out an army.

So, if I just convey this kind of news, I would like to thank you, but it is not enough! "

After hearing Liu Tai's words, Wen Qiao's expression did not change and he nodded in approval.

There is no way, everyone knows that Liu Kun has suffered a big loss and has basically withdrawn from the chance to compete for supremacy in the north, but no one will underestimate Liu Kun. After all, Tuoba Xianbei is still behind Liu Kun, and normal people don't. Will go crazy and cause trouble for them!
"What if Liu Bingzhou personally endorses the general and allows the general to continue the family tree of the Liu family in Donglai and recognize the general as the queen of King Zhang!"

At this time, Wen Qiao didn't hide anything and directly said the chips.

Chu Hui's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately signaled to Liu Tai, asking Liu Tai to agree quickly.

No one else understands the significance of this incident better than the Chu Hui family.

If this is the case, not only will they inherit the resources that Liu Tun has accumulated throughout his life, but the attitude of any aristocratic family towards Liu Tai will be completely different.

After all, Liu Tai had always boasted that he was the Queen of Chengyang, but this was only recognized by the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties. No other aristocratic family recognized this. Do you think that the so-called aristocratic status is what you say? The most important thing is direct lineage. Do you understand, direct descendants?
Only the direct lineage has a large amount of resources in its hands, which has been recognized by the aristocratic family and the aristocratic family before.

As for the original boast of being the Queen of Chengyang, the problem is that as long as there are people with the surname Liu in Qingzhou, at least nine out of ten are from the Queen of Chengyang, who is more noble than the other.

However, in the interactions between aristocratic families, let alone the common people, they basically do not receive attention from the aristocratic families.

Not to mention someone like Liu Tai who had no idea where his connections were. He was basically treated as a poor family by the aristocratic family, no, as a commoner.

And now if there is Liu Kun's endorsement, the genealogy is continued, and she really becomes the Queen of Chengyang, then regardless of whether it is true or false, at least the endorsement from the Huns and Han Kingdom is true, and the endorsement from Liu Cong on behalf of the Western Jin Dynasty is true, then Liu Cong's endorsement on behalf of the Western Jin Dynasty is true. Tai is real.

As for the dead Liu Tun, who is he?do not recognize.

Because after both sides recognized Liu Tai as Liu Zhang, Liu Tai officially took over the position of Liu Zhang's descendant.

As for Liu Tun's identity, it will naturally be stripped away.

Because this is a troubled time, if it is a peaceful and prosperous time, there will naturally be high and low bloodlines, in order to maintain rule.

But in troubled times, ability is all that matters. For Liu Tai, as long as he doesn't get defeated or die, after Liu Kun endorses that he is Liu Zhang, he will probably gather many powerful Han talents around him. This identity is better than Liu Cong's now. The identity needs to be more pure.

Because this identity is real.

After all, Liu Tai's identity is traceable. When he was a child, Liu Tai's father rebelled, and then he rebelled with Wang Mi. If he couldn't rebel, he rebelled with Liu Yuan, and finally became an outstanding Hun general and overthrew the Jin court.

Now they are even more vaguely opposed to the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom. The remaining Jin court forces really hope to instigate Liu Tai and continue to rebel against the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom!
Of course, if this goal can be achieved, at least in Liu Kun's view, even if he risks his own reputation to endorse Liu Tai, he will not feel a loss anyway. Even if he really goes that far, Liu Tai is afraid that he will gain further reputation. and interests.

After all, Liu Tai's model cannot be imitated by everyone. After all, it requires one's own strength, and there is nothing wrong with his whole background. Only with the endorsement of a big shot like Liu Kun can the identity creation be completed.

In this era, people from various aristocratic families are still alive. They check with each other and can easily find out whether you are fake.

In addition, the foreigners of this era have not yet thought of completely Chineseizing this trick, and no one has the intention of pretending to be a noble family.

So the benefit offered by Liu Kun at this moment is still quite tempting, at least Chu Hui is very greedy!

After all, for Chu Hui, he had never found any good opportunities on how to get Liu Tai to take the position of emperor.

For China, it is really important to have a good reputation as a teacher, but he knows very well, and now Liu Kun has given this name to him.

After all, the Huns of Emperor Gao's son-in-law can compete for the world, so it would be more reasonable for Emperor Gao's Liu Zhang, who is recognized by the Liu clan, to compete for the world and want to revive the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Tai looked at Wen Qiao and said, "You can't get any benefits out of me by talking nonsense. If Liu Kun can acknowledge me first, then I will cooperate with him!"

Wen Qiao was stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words. He didn't expect Liu Tai to be so calm. Doesn't he understand the benefits brought by Liu Kun's endorsement? !
However, it is naturally impossible for Liu Tai to admit it first. If Liu Tai wants to regret it, Liu Kun will not be able to check and balance Liu Tai at all.

At this time, Liu Tai smiled slightly and said: "Go back and tell Liu Kun that he wants to cooperate with me to deal with Wang Jun, and I have no objection.

But if you want the land in Youzhou and Jizhou, you must either use your interests or your strength.

However, in order to express my respect for his many years of stationing in Bingzhou, I can give him a small gift.

Duan Ji's six dependents still have brothers in my hands. I can give him a few to help him conquer the Xianbei tribe to show my sincerity.

But if he wants to cooperate with me next time, he needs to show his sincerity to me. "

"Qiao will definitely convey Liu Qingzhou's good intentions!" After hearing Liu Tai's words, Wen Qiao decisively agreed,

No matter what the first contact was, Liu Tai at least showed a certain degree of goodwill.

Wen Qiao took a breath and realized that the initial goal of his mission this time was finally achieved. As for the future, it depends on the future choices of Liu Tai and Liu Kun.

　The next chapter will be in one o'clock, so don't wait any longer.
