The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 240
Liu Tai looked calm, although after winter, the difficulty of supplying will skyrocket.

But he can get supplies after all, but the consumption of transporting grain and grass on the road is too much. Although he has accumulated some capital over the years, he still has to save some money. If he can transport it by water, it is better to transport it by water than by land. The loss is a bit big!
Wang Xiu asked Liu Yao for help, and Liu Yao was ready to go to war immediately. Yang Xianrong knew that Liu Yao was going to war and saw him off personally.

After all, Yang Xianrong is a little different from other queens. She has participated in government affairs, so she knows exactly who Liu Yao will face this time. It can be said that facing Liu Tai, even with 15 troops, There may not be a sense of security.

And Liu Yao said to Yang Xianrong, "I will win this battle. After I leave, I will help Xi'er appease the court!"

"I obey!" Yang Xianrong heard Liu Yao's words and replied quite solemnly at this moment.

Liu Yao didn't say much. He mounted his horse and set off, walking all the way to Luoyang, crossing the Yellow River, and arriving at Hanoi County. A so-called 30-strong army came to rescue Shi Le.Just this amount scared Liu Tai to death!

At this time, Taobao, who was originally stationed in Jijun, led his army to gather with Liu Yao.

Yes, Taobao took the initiative to seek refuge with Liu Yao.

Because Shi Le was beaten too swiftly by Liu Tai and was defeated in one battle and besieged Yecheng. Although Taobao received a message asking for help, Taobao only had more than [-] men in his hands.

Taobao also tried to rescue Shi Le, but was defeated by Ge Xin's cavalry as soon as he reached the outskirts.

Taobao did not fight to the death. Seeing that the situation was not good, he decisively retreated to Hanoi County with his main force, and then waited for Liu Yao's arrival.

Now, seeing Liu Yao arriving with an army of 15, although Taobao bowed without any discount, he also took the initiative to move closer to Liu Yao, expressing his hope that he could work with Liu Yao to rescue Shi Le, and at the same time, he also showed that he obeyed Liu Yao's instructions. Attitude.

The most important thing is, I hope Liu Yao can take care of the food!

Liu Yao also needed someone who was familiar with the situation in Yecheng. He welcomed Tao Bao's arrival, but he did not swallow Tao Bao's remnant army. The soldiers still let Tao Bao continue to take him with him, hoping to take him as a subordinate.

To be honest, in this time of war and chaos, it is common for military generals to change jobs. Besides, King Zhao also needs to be called His Majesty Liu Yao. No one will say that he is disloyal if he joins Liu Yao. At most, he will face Shi Le in the future. It just doesn’t look good.

After all, he was born a miscellaneous person, and if Shi Le continued to be strong, he would naturally remain loyal.

But now it's not that Shi Le can't protect himself. If Liu Tai hadn't held high the banner of the Han Dynasty, he would have always looked down on bastards like him. He was afraid that the best choice would be to join Liu Tai.

When Taobao thought about this, he felt more or less melancholy that he was not a Han!

However, this was a good thing for Liu Yao. He immediately welcomed the remnants of the Taobao army, which was more or less 1 more horses.

"What are you talking about? Liu Yao has led an army of 30 to support Shi Le and has arrived in Hanoi County, and the remnants of Taobao's troops have also joined Liu Yao!" Liu Tai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he listened to Ge Xin's words.

Ge Xin saw a bit of surprise in Liu Tai's tone, but at this moment he quickly said to Liu Tai:
"Your Majesty, Liu Yao can't even defeat the Xianbei cavalry, so what's the point of fearing another 30 troops?"

Ge Xin really looked down on Liu Yao, because this guy was a Tunqi who was gradually trained while working as a miscreant in the north and fighting against Xianbei.

In Ge Xin's view, if Liu Yao was defeated by the Xianbei cavalry and lost his armor, and he beat the Xianbei cavalry to the point of losing their armor, then he would definitely win against Liu Yao. Even if such a man led an army of 30 people, he would not be able to win. Ge Xin is not afraid either!
"Go and gather everyone, this time we need to discuss a battle plan!" Liu Tai said to Ge Xin.

After hearing Liu Tai's words, the guards soon began to summon the soldiers.

At this moment, except for Zhao An who is still taking Jinyang and attacking Taihang Mountain, Wang Sang and Zhou Ping each represent two different forces under Liu Tai's command, standing in two rows.

In fact, in addition to these two people, there is also Tian Kan who is the son of Tian Tian, ​​which means that Tian Tian is subordinate to Zhou Ping.

When Liu Tai arrived, everyone saluted. Liu Tai couldn't help but look at Tian Kan with a little curiosity and said:

"Zicheng, why are you here? But your father has military orders for you to deliver!"

Tian Kan looked at Liu Tai with admiration in his eyes, and quickly said to Liu Tai:

"Your Majesty, I am here to escort the grain and fodder, and my father also asked me to convey the news about the course of the Yellow River.

On the other side, Zu Ti gathered troops and sent people to forcefully cross Jijun. However, after seeing his father's fleet, he withdrew from Jijun.

However, my father asked me to come over and report Zu Ti’s movements to your Majesty.

You should also pay attention to snowy days. After the Yellow River freezes, Zu Ti's army may come north along the frozen Yellow River. "

"Zu Ti, you really know how to seize opportunities!" Liu Tai nodded after hearing Tian Kan's words,
"Go back and report to your father. He will stay there until it snows, then evacuate out of the Yellow River waterway and return to the Bohai Bay to repair and maintain the ships!"

"No!" Tian Kan heard Liu Tai's words and immediately responded.

And Tian Kan didn't stay here for long, he immediately left the military camp and headed towards his father.

As Tian Kan left, the military camp returned to a bit of solemnity, because everyone knew that because Liu Tai slowly dug ditches, cut off the water in the moat, filled mountains with earth, and cleaned the defense facilities outside Ye City, It can be said that Liu Tai was too stable, which is why he created the situation in front of him.

Zhou Ping stood up and said, "Your Majesty, most of Shi Le's troops are new soldiers. Even if the strength they can exert in defending the city is limited, it is better for us and other generals to send troops to Ye City and we will definitely take it down."

"What are you thinking!" Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words and said, "Even if I trade one for five, I feel like I'm at a loss. If we attack the city as you said, I'm afraid the soldiers under my command will have to attack the city." Most of it was lost!”

When Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, he felt relieved and sighed at Liu Tai's kindness.

But I felt in my heart that Liu Tai was so kind and wanted to capture Yecheng, where Shi Le was, it would take quite a lot of effort!
"That Zu Ti..." Wang Sang couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that Liu Tai was not planning to attack Yecheng.

If Zu Ti sends his troops north, it is not that he is afraid of Zu Ti, but he feels that the situation will become chaotic and unpredictable.

After all, it took a lot of effort to beat Shi Le to this level. It would still be very troublesome for Shi Le to recover! "We don't have time to worry about Zu Ti. With Tian Tian's team here, even if Zu Ti wants to carry him on his back, we have to wait until the Yellow River freezes on a snowy day!" Liu Tai said calmly,

"What needs to be dealt with now is another matter. Liu Yao has led an army of 30 to Hanoi County! Ge Xin, tell me."

"No!" Ge Xin came out and said, "I was ordered to lead the army to stop Taobao from coming to aid Shi Le, and then defeated him after fighting him.

He fled back to Jijun, and I sent people to keep an eye on him. Later, news came that Liu Yao's army had crossed the Yellow River to support Shi Le.

It is said that there are 30 people. I don’t know if there are any, but the smoke and dust generated by the actions of this large army does cover the sky and the sun. "

Everyone couldn't help but look serious when they heard Ge Xin's words. The 30-strong army was several times the number here!
"First, Ancestor Ti gathered the soldiers south of the Yellow River, waiting for the Yellow River to be frozen, and then went to the north. Then Liu Yao led an army of 30 to gallop Hebei. It is quite interesting." Liu Tai looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone has what idea!?"

Wang Sang was mature and prudent after all, and said in a deep voice, "Except for Yecheng, we have obtained most of the land in Jizhou in this battle. If we don't stop here, Shi Le will be spared a dog's life!
If Liu Yao, Zuti and others lead an army, the northern land may be completely in chaos, and it is difficult to predict what the gains and losses will be.

We seize Shile's autumn grain, leaving Shile trapped this winter. When the Yellow River Unblocking Fleet comes next year, it won't be too late to capture Yecheng! "

Zhou Ping couldn't help but frown when he heard Wang Sang's words. To be honest, Zhou Ping couldn't find anything to object to Wang Sang's remarks that he just accepted.

However, Zhou Ping knew very well that if he let Shi Le go this time, it was difficult to guarantee whether he would be able to successfully surround Shi Le next time.

After all, Shi Le's record has always been that although there are not many victories, he can escape every time he fails. This makes people want to be disgusting. I am afraid that he will be a thorn in his side in the future!

So Zhou Ping insisted, "At least attack Yecheng once before Liu Yao leads the army. If you really can't take Yecheng, it's too late to retreat again. Otherwise, it will hurt the morale of the soldiers too much!"

When Liu Tai heard what everyone said, he couldn't help but frowned. Looking at Liu Tai's brows, Liu Ming, who was standing next to Liu Tai, spoke first, "Your Majesty, do you have any plans? Your Majesty's eyes are like blazing fire. You can definitely see what we are doing." Can’t be seen!”

"I just feel that Liu Yao has led an army of 30 people. Isn't this our opportunity? Why do you all look so scared?" Liu Tai looked at everyone at this moment, but he was full of incomprehension! ?

When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they were a little stunned for a moment. They couldn't see where the so-called opportunity was?
Everyone looked at Liu Tai with brilliance and admiration in their eyes. There was no way, Liu Tai had won too much by winning all the way.

Therefore, Liu Tai's enemies are full of fear of Liu Tai, but the soldiers under Liu Tai's command look at Liu Tai with brilliance.

After all, one person can lead you to victory in every battle. No matter who you are, everyone will feel that that person has an inexplicable brilliance.

The most typical example is Bai Qi. Everyone knows the terror of Bai Qi. As the most ordinary soldier, if you were born during the Warring States Period, would you choose to be a soldier under Bai Qi or under other generals? .

Liu Tai looked at the crowd either admiringly or looking at him with confusion. Liu Tai found that these guys really didn't seem to notice the showmanship of Liu Yao's 30-strong army.

Liu Tai said: "Although Shi Le was defeated for many years, he was defeated and not defeated. Basically, his soldiers were veterans of hundreds of battles who had gradually developed during Emperor Guangwen's cavalry.

As for Liu Yao's soldiers, they were basically all destroyed in the battle with Tuoba Yilu.

Although it was replenished, it only lasted a few years, and the origins were complicated, people were not unified, and even the training may not be complete. This was a defeat! "

Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard Liu Tai's words. No matter what Liu Tai said, Liu Tai, who had always been victorious, must be right.

"Secondly, it's not that I look down on Liu Yao, but since you joined the army, ask yourselves, who has ever seen commanding more than 10 soldiers to be able to use their arms and fingers like an arm and control them smoothly?

If Liu Yao leads an army of [-], I will be cautious, but if he leads an army of [-], I may implement Uncle Wang's strategy.

But he now leads an army of 30 people. Can he command it?This is a defeat! "

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and they also understood that the more soldiers there are, the more troublesome it is to command them. Especially when the soldiers want to fight to the death, the smaller the number, the more effective they can be!
Even if it's Liu Tai, it's not that Liu Tai can't command more people, but for Liu Tai, 1 people are the most suitable for him. He can just call me and rush to him based on his own judgment of the situation, but with more people, Liu Tai can't. It is difficult to bring out the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

"First the army is defeated, then the general is defeated, and the peach and leopard are mixed in, which will intensify the mixing and confusion of soldiers, especially the Han and Hu tribes, which should have been clearly distinguished, but now they are forcibly mixed, the law will inevitably be corrupted, this is the law defeat!"

Liu Tai said here and continued: "What's more important is that if he properly regards Gaozu as the leader of the country and inherits the national destiny of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely enjoy the blessing of the Chinese ancestors. But now that he takes Maodun as the respected one and inherits the national leadership of the Xiongnu, in Isn’t this great land of China destroying its destiny? This is a defeat from heaven!”

“Our army does not need any planning for this battle, we only need to concentrate our forces and strike hard.

Liu Yao looks like an army of 30 people. In my opinion, 30 native chickens and dogs are not enough to share the merits of our soldiers! "

After hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. They just felt like they could just follow Liu Tai and kill people. What about 30 soldiers? Although this title sounds bluffing, it is already more than the number of soldiers. The limit of imagination is exceeded.

Anyway, ever since King Qi Liu Tai commanded his troops, he has never lost. As long as Liu Tai says he wants to attack, everyone will just follow suit.

As for the consequences, my king is always victorious and undefeated, so what are the consequences!
"Your Majesty, since we are going to attack Liu Yao, we must let my men guard the cavalry and be the vanguard!" Ge Xinduan jumped out!
"Is this decided?" Wen Qiao on the side looked at Liu Tai's simple words and decided to conquer Liu Yao. Not only did his generals not object, but they were eager to try, fearing that he would be too late and would not have a chance. , couldn’t help but be in a daze!

Wake up, this is an army of 30, not an army of [-] or [-]!
Do you know what you are facing?

Wen Qiao felt like he was slowly complaining, but he didn't know how to complain.

Even I couldn't seem to find any reason to stop Liu Tai at this time.

Because after listening to Liu Tai's words, I also felt that as long as Liu Tai led the cavalry to confront Liu Yao head-on, Liu Yao would probably die suddenly!
Because the plan itself was full of traps, no matter what Liu Yao thought about it, he would never believe that Liu Tai's plan to deal with him was so simple.

I just saw that his basic strength was insufficient and 30 soldiers were useless, so I chose to crush him head-on.

Only!
