The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 167 Zu Ti’s decision
Soon, news of Wang Jun's campaign against Liu Tai began to spread in Taishan County and Langya County.

Of course Chu Hui contributed to this, and the news of Wang Jun's crusade against Liu Tai was also sensational to the entire world.

Shi Le, who lives next door to Wang Jun, dreamed of giving Liu Tai a harder time, so he pushed the promotion further. Basically, the entire area north of the Yellow River began to sing about it.

"We finally have news about Wang Pengzu!" Gou Xi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and walked to an exquisite attic.

Gou Xi looked at the maid standing guard at the door, waved her hand and saw the door being opened by the maid, and a puff of powdery air hit her face.

Gou Xi strode in and saw Gou Chun and seven or eight disheveled women lying on a big bed.

Watching Gou Xi come in, her eyes were full of numbness. Compared to a few months ago, Gou Chun's whole person was completely reduced to a drug scum.

"Okay, you can go back to Liu Tai tomorrow!" Gou Xi looked at Gou Chun and said.

"Finally someone is pregnant!?" Gou Chun, who seemed completely numb to life, finally regained some of his energy.

These past few months were really unforgettable for Gou Chun. Although Gou Chun agreed with most people's views on his brother Gou Xi, this guy was simply a beast, but he never expected that Gou Xi could be such a beast.

He is his biological brother, and yet he is used for breeding like an animal.

The most important thing is to use family justice to suppress myself. Even so, I can't play every night or seven times a day.

Then the bastard named Ge Hong next to him took out the "Secret Technique of Ge's House" and refined a kidney-tonifying elixir so that he could quickly make up for the shortage of essence and kidney energy after taking the medicine, so that he could continue to For the sake of the Gou family, I have to take a breather.

Now, these days of darkness have finally come to an end. Gou Chun couldn't help but burst into tears. It was so good to be alive!

"It's not certain yet. Even if it's Divine Doctor Ge, it will take at least three months to determine the pulse!" Gou Xi couldn't help but say,

"Wang Jun is fighting with Liu Tai. I need you to go back to Liu Tai and tell Liu Tai to give me Langya and Taishan counties. Then I will not participate in the fight between him and Wang Jun, and I can even help him clear the south. of demons and monsters.

Doesn’t he want me to be his barrier? I just need to do my best. As for trading, I am naturally willing to trade with him! "

Gou Xi knew that when Wang Jun and Liu Tai fought this time, no matter who would win or lose, it would not be possible to tell the difference in a short time.

Under such circumstances, the most important thing for you is to seize the opportunity to develop yourself.

It would be a daydream for me to compete with Liu Tai now. Liu Tai would be able to resist him if he deflected all the way.

There is no way, I don't have enough troops, and I don't have enough foundation. This is something that cannot be avoided no matter what.

But if he gets Taishan County and Langya County, he can be regarded as taking over half of Xuzhou, and even a part of Yanzhou. He doesn't talk about proclaiming himself emperor, but if he just wants to break the soil and become a king, then he will definitely enough.

Even if there is a slight change in the battlefield and Liu Tai is defeated by Wang Jun, he will be able to march into Qingzhou. Maybe he will become a fisherman, kill Wang Jun in one fell swoop, and become the new northern overlord!

It can be said that as Liu Tai and Wang Jun began to face off, Gou Xi began to think about her bright future.

"Okay, I will inform the Duke of your conditions when I get back!" Gou Chun gritted his teeth.

I had better hurry up and escape from here first. If I continue to stay here, I am afraid that I will be sucked dry by this house full of female goblins. I don’t want to die, at least I definitely don’t want such a way to die, so I’d better go back first. Qingzhou is calculating again.

When Gou Xi saw Gou Chun give her the answer, she smiled with satisfaction. After all, he was his biological brother and had to take care of him.

Of course, Gou Xi planned to use this opportunity to take advantage of Liu Tai, but Zu Ti, who was smelting iron, forging weapons, and recruiting soldiers in Huaiyin, heard the news and couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "Master, we The opportunity has come!"

"Brother, we have recruited less than [-] soldiers, built less than [-] armors, and barely equipped the entire army. Not to mention, the Han thief Liu Tai and Wang Pengzu fought in Jizhou, thousands of miles away from us. We How do you get the chance!"

To be honest, Zu Yue really didn't understand why Zu Ti was so excited when he heard this.

But no matter how I think about it, an army as weak as my own, so far away from the battlefield where Liu Tai and Wang Jun are fighting, has nothing to do with me and others anyway!

"The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and they are calibrated to analyze their emotions: the first is Tao, the second is Heaven, the third is Earth, and the fourth is General, five methods..."

"Brother, when is this time? Is it time to recite "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?" Zu Yue couldn't help but interrupt.

"That's the next sentence!" Zu Ti said angrily, "The Taoist makes the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with them and live with them without fear of danger."

"What does this mean? Does it have anything to do with the fact that we only have less than two thousand people, and we want to go thousands of miles away to fight Liu Tai?" Zu Yue was filled with incomprehension after listening to Zu Ti's words!
"Now that the world is in chaos and the royal family is in danger, we are so weak and alone. We see foreign races galloping around and Jin traitors everywhere. This is really a crisis for our country!" Zu Ti said this with a somewhat sad expression on his face. The situation now is really serious. no.

However, Zu Ti's voice immediately became louder, "But now the center of gravity of the Xiongnu puppets is either in the old capital of Guanxi or north of the Yellow River, and they are unable to escape for a while.

Only the land of Yanzhou south of the Yellow River is lined with forts and stone fortresses, and the powerful and powerful people of all ethnic groups make their own way.

These people are all the sons of our Jin court. They don’t want to live with the fake Han Dynasty and are just trying to protect themselves. If we can integrate them, it will be the first step for our Jin Dynasty’s Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of China.

I was worried that I had no choice, but I didn't expect that Wang Pengzu's attack on Liu Tai would bring an opportunity! "

"Brother plans to integrate these people. We only have less than 2000 people. Can we do it?!" Zu Chun couldn't help but ask.

"We have King Langya's order to go north to crusade, and we have also assisted Wang Jun in the north-south attack. As long as we raise the flag and go north to crusade, Yanzhou's soldiers are strong and loyal to the Jin Dynasty. Most of them will choose to join the crusade against Liu. Thai."

Zu Ti said, "Let the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with them, live with them, and not be afraid of danger. This is the way of the military!"

Zu Yue suddenly realized something and understood his brother's plan.

It doesn't matter that he is a small general. With the order granted by King Langya and the opportunity for Wang Jun and Liu Tai to fight, the most important thing for Zu Ti at this time is not to attack Liu Tai himself, or even to use this opportunity to annex troops and occupy territory. What.

It’s about making your own name!With this title, he also needs to be able to unite the powerful nobles from all over Yanzhou to expand his influence.

To be honest, if Zu Yue was more willing to think about it in depth, Zu Ti could definitely use such a call and fight with Liu Tai to clearly know who in Yanzhou needs to be wary of, who needs to win over, and who needs to be Clean up, and who can be conquered.

These are all things that Zu Ti planned to conquer Liu Tai this time and tried to test.

Compared with Liu Tai, Shi Le, Wang Jun and others, Zu Ti does not even have a stable basic base now, but Sima Rui has completely let Zu Ti go.

If Zu Ti wanted to carry out the Northern Expedition, he would have to raise money and food by himself, recruit soldiers by himself, and start everything from scratch.

At this moment, Zu Ti could discover the special characteristics of Yanzhou, and began to show his extraordinary strategic vision, seeing the possibility of integrating Yanzhou.

No matter what, he is now calling for joining forces with Wang Jun to attack Liu Tai. Regardless of whether this matter can succeed, this action alone is enough for him to take the first step to integrate Yanzhou!
While Zu Ti and Gou Xi in the south were planning, Shi Le and Liu Kun in the north were also organizing troops.

However, compared to these warlords in the south who almost immediately took action, the two in the north only recruited their men and were ready to go out at any time.

Because they all know very well that now it depends on who Liu Tai or Wang Jun reveals their flaws first, and then they will naturally launch an attack without hesitation and take advantage to some extent.

Liu Tai sat calmly in the Interior Department, patiently waiting for the news to come and go. Although there was a lot of information from the surrounding counties and counties in Qingzhou, Liu Tai was not too panicked.

After all, the north has not completely entered the freezing period, or in other words, the northern rivers during this period are the most troublesome.

Because a thin layer of floating ice has condensed on the surface of the river, but if someone steps in, the floating ice will definitely break and the person will fall into the river.

As for ships to sail, it is even more necessary to clear these ice floes, otherwise the progress will seem to be slow.

So at this time, Wang Sang could even lead his army to occasionally follow Wang Jun's army to confront each other across the river.

But that's all. As the weather gets colder and the river freezes more and more solidly, Wang Sang can only choose to huddle within the defense system of Nanpi City and prepare for Wang Jun's attack.

It can be said that as time goes by, Wang Jun's effective defense range is also shrinking.

Regarding this, Zhou Ping and others often asked Liu Tai to go on an expedition, but this order was suppressed by Liu Tai.

Liu Tai knew that the confrontation between Wang Sang and Wang Jun would be more likely to lead to a fueling tactic even if reinforcements were sent over in a short period of time.

In addition, his position for Wang Sang is to build Jizhou's defense system. After being stationed in Jizhou for many years, it can be said that the entire defense system of Jizhou was built by Wang Sang.

The two assistant generals Gaoliang and Xu Miao were the generals left by Wang Mi, and even Zhang Song was a counselor left by Wang Mi.

His entire defense system in Jizhou is based on the factions left by Wang Mi.

Wang Sang became the commander-in-chief of Jizhou's defense system because he was Wang Mi's younger brother and a relative of Wang Wei's family.

If there are no people from other factions, it will be much more convenient for Wang Sang to dispatch officials from Jizhou.

Therefore, before Wang Sang's letter asking for help comes, unless Liu Tai is prepared to personally conquer Wang Jun and fight a decisive battle with Wang Jun.

Otherwise, Liu Tai would not easily send reinforcements to support Wang Sang. This is one of the important reasons why Liu Tai gave Wang Sang trust.

After all, Nanpi City is the core point of his defense system in Jizhou, and it has been continuously reinforced in recent years. If Wang Mi attacked in a hurry, the entire Nanpi City was breached, and Wang Sang would really die.

Liu Tai also knew that the war between himself and Wang Jun would not be easily won or lost in a short period of time.

Wang Sang can successfully defend the city on the front line and resist Wang Jun's attack.

When Wang Jun stopped moving forward and confronted him in Nanpi, Liu Tai wanted to see what kind of monsters and monsters were emerging around him.

When the time comes, his own army will sweep him away as quickly as possible, and then with the power of victory, head to the north to fight Wang Jun.

And Liu Tai's patience soon paid off.

After knowing that the news of Wang Jun's army to attack Liu Tai was passed to the south, Gou Xi also raised [-] troops, claiming to be [-], and quickly captured Langya County, which was regarded as a buffer zone by both sides, and began to intimidate Come to Taishan County!

"Finally we took action!" Liu Tai couldn't help but feel regretful when he heard the news.

Due to geographical reasons, he did not want to seize the Xuzhou area south of Taishan County. After all, there are Shandong hills to the north of Linzi, which is a rare defensive location in Shandong.

Therefore, he let Gou Xi serve as his own barrier to prevent himself from being frequently harassed by the southern region.

But now that he dared to fight back against him, there was no need for Gou Xi to stay.

Liu Tai secretly made a decision in his heart, but someone immediately came to report: "The messenger Mr. Gou Chun is back from Gou Xi!"

To be honest, this news somewhat surprised Liu Tai. Liu Tai originally thought that Gou Chun would stay under Gou Xi from now on, but he never expected that Gou Chun would come back!
At this moment, Gou Chun rushed into the interior hall. When he saw Liu Tai, he screamed in a hoarse voice, "Ming Gong, Chun has fulfilled his mission. He finally came back from the hands of the traitor Gou Xi, woo woo woo woo..."

"Who is this person?!" Liu Tai looked at the emaciated man with sunken eyes and dark circles that could not be completely eliminated using modern beautification techniques. As soon as he entered the interior hall, he let out a lung-breaking wail, which was really sad for those who heard it. Those who saw it shed tears.

When Liu Tai vaguely saw a hint of Gou Chun from his face, he said, "Daozheng, thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Tai looked at Gou Chun's appearance and sighed in his heart, how could he doubt Gou Chun's loyalty.

But then I thought about it, Gou Xi was so cruel to his own brother, he was really more of a beast than he imagined!
