The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 220 Tuoba Tribe
In Qingzhou at this moment, after reading everyone's reports, Liu Tai summoned Ge Xin, took the documents Ge Xin handed in last time and said:

"You did a good job Lenze this time. Take your army to Youzhou!"

"Huh? Ah!" When Ge Xin heard this, he couldn't help but jump up and said, "Ming Gong, did Xin make any mistakes? Why did you drive me to that wild place in Youzhou!"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Tai was stunned and said, "The Lunce you wrote said that you need to form a shock cavalry. There is a racecourse only over there in Youzhou. I plan to let two of your troops The legs turn into six legs!”

"Oh, so it's this!" Ge Xin couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Because he copied it according to the Lenze given by Liu Ming and Zhou Ping, Ge Xin had a very little impression of what he had written. At this moment, he finally came to his senses. God has come.

Liu Tai naturally knew that Ge Xin invited Zhou Ping and Liu Ming to dinner, but he also understood that Zhou Ping and Liu Ming more or less wanted to win over Ge Xin.

Because of the four generals under Liu Tai, Liu Ming gradually became the commander of the Imperial Guard, and was regarded as Liu Tai's most trusted person. Zhao Anduo was responsible for the battlefield behind enemy lines and had the power to open a second battlefield or have arbitrary power on the battlefield.

As for Zhou Ping, although this guy is not showy, he gradually became the commander of the large army in Liu Tai's army.

The only one is Ge Xin, who once commanded a headquarters and still commands the headquarters now.

Zhou Ping is developing more and more into a professional army commander, so he gradually understands the importance of cooperation between multiple arms.

Forget about other arms, but if a noble arm like cavalry is taken advantage of by outsiders again, it will be a huge disadvantage.

Therefore, in the suggestions for this memorial, the suggestion of using cavalry to counterbalance Shile's cavalry was added to Ge Xin's duel.

After all, the army's heavy cavalry cannot be used to engage in dogfights. This must be left to the light cavalry or the assault cavalry, but no matter what, Ge Xin can successfully become a cavalry.

As for this cavalry, Liu Xia, who masters heavy cavalry, naturally cannot lack horses, but the heavy cavalry itself determines that Liu Xia's army cannot have a large number of heavy cavalry.

Even now, the number of Liu Xia's heavy cavalry has reached one thousand, but these one thousand heavy cavalry have two horses as backup, and two light cavalry as auxiliary troops, not to mention the heavy cavalry. A huge amount of investment is required for a suit of armor.

All in all, these 1000 heavy cavalry directly ate up most of the horses after defeating Wang Jun.

Just like this, Zhao An didn't have many horses to supplement his own cavalry. If he hadn't made a deal with Liu Kun, it wouldn't be Ge Xin's turn to build an army today. Instead, Zhao An would have to supplement the horses first.

There is no way, compared to the literati who have no first place, the military people talk to each other much more clearly and neatly, that is, they first look at their respective merits. If the merits are almost the same, then they look at their military qualifications.

No matter what Liu Xia's initial positioning was, or the incredible power shown by the heavy cavalry when they first appeared on the battlefield, it is undeniable that Liu Xia was the greatest contributor to defeating Wang Jun, so he would naturally enjoy the best. treatment.

Of course, it is precisely because of the rise of generals like Liu Xia that the veterans under Liu Tai's command have more or less a sense of crisis.

They were not afraid that Liu would go astray, but they were afraid that even if Liu Tai went astray, they would not be able to win.

Regarding these petty thoughts of his troops, Liu Tai naturally understood that among his soldiers, who was still a saint? It was quite normal to have some petty thoughts among each other, as long as it did not affect the execution of the strategy.

Moreover, Liu Tai thought about it and found that there was not much objection to letting Ge Xin's army be trained into cavalry.

Because I definitely need the assault cavalry to check Shi Le's cavalry. Since someone needs to take on this position, then why don't I let Ge Xin, who has always followed me, take the responsibility? At least I believe that he is willing to take responsibility and fight hard!
Being able to achieve these two points, Liu Tai felt that as long as Ge Xin did not fall, he would definitely become the backbone general of the Rangers.

"When you get there, I will let Wang Ti be your soldier. He is familiar with the situation in Youzhou and the foreign races in Youzhou. You can train your troops while cleaning up the foreign races and train an elite force for me!" Liu Taidao .

"Yes!" Ge Xin replied to Liu Tai excitedly after hearing Liu Tai's words.

Li Tai nodded, and then continued: "In addition, there is a cattle ranch we raise over there. We occasionally give teeth to the soldiers as a sacrifice to make them eat stronger, but don't let me know that there are any cattle walking around you in the future." Fallen to death!"

"Okay, okay!" Ge Xin couldn't help but smile awkwardly. It was obvious that Liu Tai had discovered that he was eating cows.

It is impossible for Liu Tai to kill Ge Xin, who worked for him for a farm cow, but he still needs to give Ge Xin some advice.

After all, grazing cattle are beef cattle and will be eaten if they are eaten, but if farm cattle are eaten, it will affect next spring's plowing.

Not long after Ge Xin left, Zhou Ping quickly came to Liu Tai's side.

Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping and said, "I have read your policy. Do you think that the army needs a more professional army than all the soldiers wearing scale armor and wrapping the soldiers into iron lumps?"

"I only feel that although the new technology has increased Baidu Steel's output a lot, it is also used in many places. At least the soldiers' arrows are now pursuing armor-piercing arrows, and even their weapons have been replaced. We have obtained new weapons made of hundreds of steel, but if we want to arm all the soldiers with scale armor, it is still a big undertaking. This change of equipment cannot be completed in one or two years," Zhou Ping shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Liu Tai was thoughtful after hearing Zhou Ping's words.

"First select warriors to form one or two pure heavy infantry, all wrapped in heavy armor. Just like the heavy cavalry's ability to finish the battlefield, we need troops with the ability to break formations on the battlefield all the time!" Zhou Ping said.

"Do you want to recreate Wei Wuzu?" Liu Tai couldn't help but ask after hearing Zhou Ping's words.

Zhou Ping faced Liu Tai and shook his head: "I just want to recreate the Three Rivers and Five Schools of the Han Dynasty."

"Infantry camp, Changshui camp, Shesheng camp, Yueqi camp, Tunqi camp?" Liu Tai couldn't help but said after hearing Zhou Ping's words.

"If the general allows it, there will be three schools of barriers, Hu Qi, and Huben!" Zhou Ping said to Liu Tai seriously.

When Liu Tai heard this, he couldn't help but think about it and said, "You want to reproduce Sanhe Five Schools. I have no objection, but this thing cannot be reproduced at once. How do you want to get it?!"

“First of all, we used Bailiang Steel to arm a group of 6000 soldiers, the barrier army, which was used to maintain military formations or break up the army on the battlefield.

The second is the sound of shooting, which uses the sound of arrows to cover the fully armed barrier army, which can target a large number of targets.

Of course, there are also craftsmen who need to fly and research a large number of crossbows to hit any more valuable targets.

As for the cavalry, let’s wait until our cavalry is more complete before incorporating it into them! "Zhou Ping said his thoughts to Liu Tai.

"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded after hearing Zhou Ping's idea, "Your idea is good. First, you can select personnel to build the barrier camp, Changshui camp, and Shesheng camp. As for the generals of the subsequent military camps, I will help you. Looking for someone!" "Yes!" Zhou Ping nodded excitedly when he heard Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai did not reject Zhou Ping's idea and wanted to recreate the Three Rivers and Five Schools. Let's first see how effective Zhou Ping's tactics were when he built the first three battalions.

There will definitely be no checks and balances at the beginning. After all, Liu Tai needs Zhou Ping to give it a try to see if the model of Three Rivers and Five Schools has been eliminated. If it is confirmed that this model is really useful, then he will naturally still have to carry out checks and balances.

After all, I believed in Zhou Ping, but I couldn't let Zhou Ping build an army wantonly.

When the military's strength reaches a certain level, checks and balances must be carried out. Even if this incident may weaken Zhou Ping's overall efficiency, it is still better than pure trust.

Compared to Ge Xin and Zhou Ping, Liu Ming's requirements were much simpler. He felt that Liu Tai's personal guards needed to be further strengthened.

Needless to say, the Bailiang steel forged by the steel pouring method must be used first on Liu Tai's army.

It can be said that this response measure is reasonable for the military to increase its own armaments.

Some want to change their profession into cavalry, some want to play with multiple arms, and some wish they could be wrapped in iron cans.

Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh. When he didn't figure out the steel filling method, he lacked hundreds of steelmaking. Now that he has figured out the steel filling method, he still feels that everything is lacking.

Not to mention, I also want to use the steel to make farm tools for the people, so that the people can plow the land more easily.

But there is frugality in the poor, and there are uses in the rich to be wealthy. Now everyone knows that the steel-filling method has improved the quality and speed of iron forging to a higher level. Who doesn't want to get some steel!
Therefore, Liu Tai was not happy for a long time before he fell into the matter of how to allocate steel production capacity.

After all, I can't afford to suffer the people again and invest all the steel in the military.

In Liu Tai's opinion, he would not be able to fight with his surroundings in a short period of time. After all, Liu Kun's arrival was so big that the forces surrounding Liu Kun were licking their wounds at home and restoring their capital.

Therefore, Liu Tai judged that Alai would not be able to fight this war for at least next year. With the steel being continuously produced, he felt that it would be better to invest in productivity.

Not to mention, if the people can plow more acres of land, they will be able to distribute more food during wars in the future.

In addition to this, the Northern Canal they are digging also needs to update the tools in their hands.

It can only be said that whether to choose armaments or development is a difficult decision for those in power.

Because there are only so many resources, if you allocate more Ezeum to some areas, there will naturally be less to other areas.

At this moment, in the area west of Youzhou, Tuoba Yilu was receiving the canonization of the Angel of Jin.

This angel from the Jin court first sneaked to Bingzhou, met Liu Kun, and with Liu Kun as his guarantee, he then displayed his own angel guard and came to the Tuoba tribe.

At this moment, the Jin court officially named Tuoba Yilu the acting king, allowed Tuoba Yilu to use Dai County and Changshan County as food towns, and divided the subordinate bureaucracies, allowing Tuoba Yilu to have considerable power at least in name. right.

However, although Dai County is in the hands of Tuoba Yilu, Changshan County is in the hands of Shi Le. The purpose of the Jin court's enfeoffment is naturally to hope that Tuoba Yilu will continue to follow Shi Le and give the Jin court enough time to develop. .

When Tuoba Liuxiu saw the angel leaving, he said to Tuoba Yilu:

"The Jin court has given us some false fame, but it is not as good as the brilliant gold and soft brocade given by the big man.

What does he mean by granting us the title of Changshan County? He doesn't mean that he wants us to fight with Shi Le, so what's the point of fighting against him! "

Tuoba Yilu heard Tuoba Liuxiu's words and couldn't help scolding, "What do you know? The gold and silver will be used up, the brocade will be damaged, and only this land is the most solid.

Even if the Jin court only gave us these lands in name, we Xianbei cavalry will make these nominal lands belong to us forever! "

Tuoba Liuxiu couldn't help shouting: "Father, you are a hero like an eagle, why do you always listen to Liu Kun's words?

The Jin Dynasty had long been destroyed by the Huns and Han Kingdom, and even Liu Kun himself was just an old dog living on the border.

But we have to obey Liu Kun's order and waste the blood of Xianbei warriors on the Jin people. I really don't understand! "

Tuoba Yi Lu said: "What do you know! Although the Jin Dynasty was defeated, it was not destroyed, and people like Liu Kun emerged one after another.

Do you think that if we rebelled, Liu Cong of the Huns would look down upon us?Haha, it’s not like being a dog for Liu Cong.

Now that the Jin court is weak and the Xiongnu is strong, the Jin court will give us whatever we want. As long as it is digested, it will be our Xianbei heritage. "

"But the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed by the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and their reinforcements will never arrive here. As long as the Xiongnu Han Kingdom wants to send troops to us, then our tribe must migrate. The north has long become a world of ice and snow. We have already There is no way out!" Tuoba Sixth Cultivator's troops said to Tuoba Yilu.

"Humph, I only thought you were short-sighted, but I didn't expect you to have no courage!"

Tuoba Yilu heard Tuoba Liuxiu's words and scolded him, "Go back to your own camp and reflect on it.

Whether it's Liu Cong or Shi Le, it's not that we are afraid of them, but that they are afraid of our Xianbei cavalry!roll! "

Faced with Tuoba Yilu's reprimand, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator had no choice but to take a few steps back and exit the camp.

Outside the camp, I happened to see Mo Han who had come to deliver documents to Tuoba Yilu.

Tuoba Liuxiu was even more disgusted when he saw this Jin man. When he passed by, he directly kicked Mo Han, kicked him and everything in his hands to the ground, and left with a grunt.

Mo Han turned his head and glanced at Tuoba Liuxiu. He lowered his head and picked up the documents one by one and sent them to Tuoba Yilu's camp.
