The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 54 Zhang Bin’s Plan
Liu Tai took his troops one step ahead and soon arrived at Huangniu Base, where military flags were already lined with military flags and turned into a barracks.

Shi Le took the initiative to go out to greet him. In addition to his confidant Diao Ying, Shi Le also had Liu Hong, the prefect of Wei County. It was obvious that Shi Le had completed the integration of Liu Hong's forces.

"The King of Chu has sent troops to sweep away Wang Bin in Xindu. This is Wang Bin's head. You all have a safe future!"

Liu Tai saw Shi Le picking up Wang Bin's head, which was still smelly even though it had been plastered, and said loudly.

"Drink for the King of Chu, drink for the general!" When Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, he immediately reacted and said equally loudly.

"We are the vanguard. Soon the King of Chu will send a large army here. When we gather together, we will definitely make the Jin court suffer a lot!" Liu Tai's voice was loud and clear, and the surrounding soldiers heard it. , I couldn’t help but feel at ease.

In any case, Liu Cong led the army to surround Luoyang. Although he suffered a slight tactical loss, strategically speaking, such an action itself destroyed the majesty of the Jin court.

So although they didn't win the battle, everyone still had confidence in Liu Cong's leadership.

It was under such circumstances that Liu Cong's reputation was enough to make the soldiers who heard about it no longer fear the Western Jin army on the opposite side.

Shi Le looked at Liu Tai with some confusion, but he also cooperated and said, "With the King of Chu here, we will definitely clear out the Jin court thief."

Of course, that's what he said, but after entering the military tent, Shi Le said anxiously, "The King of Chu's reinforcements are coming?!"

"Isn't the reinforcement sent by King Chu right here?" Liu Tai pointed at himself and said.

"Isn't it true that the general is lying about the military situation? Is he treating the military as a child's play?" Liu Hong couldn't help but said angrily.

When Liu Tai heard this, he glanced at Liu Hong and said,

"Prefect, whatever I said is a lie. Don't blame me. Military discipline is something most people can't afford!"

Liu Hong choked and was about to say something just now, but Shi Le couldn't help but look a little serious and said:

"I saw that the general used his troops like a god and never did anything useless. Now that he has done this to boost the morale of the army, he should make a plan."

"General Shi Le knows me!" Liu Tai couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Shi Le's words, and couldn't help but lightly hammered Shi Le's chest.

At this moment, Shi Le suddenly took a few steps back, covering his chest and sitting directly on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Liu Tai assassinates the general!" When the guards around Shi Le saw this, they couldn't help but jump out and draw their swords at Liu Tai!

At this time, Liu Tai looked at his fist and murmured, "I can't hold it back, General Shi Le, please don't die!?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shi Le stood up holding his chest, took a few deep breaths, and then said with a smile, "General Liu Tai has great power, so let's talk about your plan first."

When everyone saw Shi Le, nothing happened and they backed away. However, Shi Le's personal guards were staring at Liu Tai.

He was deeply afraid that if Liu Tai took a few steps forward and bumped into Shi Le, Shi Le would probably die in the hands of one of his own people.

Liu Tai looked helpless. He looked at these personal guards and felt that his character had been insulted. He couldn't help but feel aggrieved and said:

"I wanted to use the name of the King of Chu to intimidate the enemy. The Jin army thought that we would wait until we joined the King of Chu before fighting them decisively.
But in fact, our first battle was a decisive battle, and we were not prepared to fight the opponent in advance. "

After hearing Liu Tai's words, Liu Hong couldn't help but think for a moment and said, "If they knew about King Chu's future, wouldn't they tighten their defense even further? If we fight with them, I'm afraid we won't get any benefits."

Shi Le said at this moment, "General Liu Tai means that if the other party knows the news about King Chu's future, they will not regard our active confrontation with the other party as a decisive battle. On the contrary, they will treat it as an opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation." Fight a victorious battle before the King of Chu arrives.
And if this is the case, then the other party is insufficient in terms of mentality and preparation! "

"That's right!" Liu Tai nodded to Shi Le, then looked at Shi Le and said, "The general is the master of an army after all, and I am also obeying orders under the general. Whether this battle will be fought or not, after all, you still need you, general. Come and decide!”

"You are setting me up to roast me!" At this time, Shi Le couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Liu Tai's words.

"If we don't fight this decisive battle, when the soldiers find out that there are no reinforcements from the King of Chu, their morale will be greatly reduced!"

"I asked Tian Tian to build up momentum. The soldiers will eventually know that reinforcements are coming, but the number of reinforcements is not as large as the soldiers thought!" Liu Tai explained, "After all, you can deceive the soldiers, but you cannot deceive them. !”

"Your army has just arrived, please stay down first. I'll think about this matter again!" Shi Le couldn't help but say.

"I know!" Liu Tai did not refuse, but obediently saluted Shi Le and went ahead to make arrangements.

After all, Liu Tai knew very well that the plan was not to arrive on the same day and then implement it immediately the next day.

He also needs his soldiers to organize the army a little and enter a state of war.

Watching Liu Tai, Liu Hong and others leave one after another, Zhang Bin also returned to Shi Le's army.

After all, Zhang Bin was from Zhaojun, and almost all his family members were within Shi Le's sphere of influence. Although he felt strange about Liu Tai and had a little interest in him, it was nothing more than that. Could he abandon his family and join Liu Tai?

Even if free love is advocated in modern society, it ultimately depends on whether two families can get along with each other.

The same goes for ministers choosing masters, and masters choosing ministers. Not everyone can freely say who they can choose, but it depends on whether the other person is around their family. If not, you will know the result just by looking at the long-distance relationship between a man and a woman.

After all, not everyone in this world can kill his wife and seek generals like Wu Qi, let alone abandon his family in this era of prosperity, and then turn around and join someone he can see. What does that mean? Only such a succubus has such charm!

Even Chu Hui is technically Liu Tai's prisoner now. Although Liu Tai let him go, he still stayed.

The decision-making was indeed somewhat emotional at the time, but in fact, after the Battle of Changping in the Han and Jin Dynasties, he no longer felt that he was at a loss.

Anyway, he was a prisoner. Could it be that the Jin Dynasty wiped out his entire clan because of this?

Look at Wang Kuang, he is still living well in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, and the Langya Wang family is the main force of the Jin court, and the old and immortal Wang Yan is not working as a minister.

And if the Huns and Han Kingdom really destroyed the Jin Dynasty in the future, it would not be difficult to follow Liu Tai and express his desire to take care of his family.

After all, he is just a prisoner, so what evil intentions can a prisoner have?
After all, humans are social animals after all. If a person even his family dares to abandon, who in this world would dare to use him!

So when Zhang Bin saw Shi Le, he clearly explained what Liu Tai had done these days, and made a judgment: "Although General Liu Tai is arrogant and does not believe in the general's strength, General Liu Tai is indeed determined to attack Wang Kan." !”

"Liu Tai is indeed a sharp blade for Wang Mi!" Shi Le couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhang Bin's introduction. However, Shi Le soon said solemnly, "Do you think we should fight!?"

Diao Ying thought for a while and said, "As long as General Liu Tai is willing to assist, our army will reach its peak in terms of quantity and morale at this moment. We have to admit that under General Liu Tai's plan, at least for this period of time, we are the most likely to When it’s time to win.”

Zhang Bin thought about it and bowed slightly to Diao Ying and Shi Le, and then said, "If possible, I would like to ask you to postpone it for a few days!"

"Oh? Why?" Shi Le was a little confused after hearing Zhang Bin's words.

"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Because of General Liu Tai's planning, our army has reached its limit step by step, both in terms of morale and quantity. It can be said that we have become a good friend.

But what about him?Soon after the King of Chu besieged Luoyang, the Jin court was so defeated that they did not dare to fight in the open field.

Now if they know the news that King Chu will come, what will happen to the Jin army on the opposite side! "

At this moment, Zhang Bin had the wisdom in his hands and analyzed it calmly.

"They may fight, but they will definitely escape!" Diao Ying suddenly realized what he said when he heard Zhang Bin's words.

"So in this game, General Liu Tai played the first half, and we will play the second half!" Zhang Bin said calmly:
"First of all, we took out Wang Bin's head and hung it at the entrance of the camp to inform the whole camp that Wang Bin of Xindu was destroyed by King Chu, and King Chu's troops will come to support him soon.

Then we intensified the scout war, and made a gesture of doing some meritorious deeds before the King of Chu came, so as to report to the King of Chu.

At the same time, we must also let the other party know that King Chu is coming. When King Chu arrives, we will gather the army and destroy him.

As for the third point, it is to wait for the reaction of the Jin army.

If the Jin army defends, we will fight decisively with it. If the Jin army flees, we will pursue and kill it at any time. In short, if the enemy moves, I will move first! "

"Will the Jin army escape?!" Shi Le heard that Zhang Bin's judgment was a bit unbelievable and couldn't help but said, "How can they escape before they fight!"

"Then the Jin army is afraid of the reputation of King Chu!" Zhang Bin said to Shi Le,
"But as long as the opponent is an army sent by the Jin court from the center of the court, if they say they are not afraid of the King of Chu, I will never believe it!"

Shi Le listened to Zhang Bin's judgment with suspicion. To be honest, compared to Zhang Bin's unreal plan, Shi Le was more convinced by Liu Tai's method of creating opportunities and then directly fighting.

But relatively speaking, Zhang Bin's plan was interspersed with Liu Tai's plan. The two cooperated with each other, not to say that it was seamless, but between the virtual and the real, I am afraid that only a stupid young man could completely ignore it.

On the contrary, the smarter the Jin generals are, the more likely they are to pull tricks. Especially if the other party is really hunted down by Liu Cong, he may not want to dream about Liu Cong even if he dreams at night.

Shi Le thought about it and decided to give Zhang Bin's plan a try. If it worked, at least the cost would be low!

However, after Liu Tai arrived at the military camp, he set up a separate tent and still patiently trained the soldiers.

At this time, the main training is no longer physical strength and strength, but the main training is military formations and the use of weapons.

After all, physical strength mainly depends on normal training. Now on the battlefield, the most important thing is to survive.

The comrades beside them and the weapons in their hands are their biggest reliance on survival.

Under such circumstances, these newly joined soldiers learned the military formations and weapons very quickly, saving their lives.

The human body is like a sponge, and potential is there if you squeeze it.

After Liu Taili left the military camp, he didn't say anything to Shi Leduo and focused on training his soldiers. Within a few days, Zhang Bin took the initiative to come to Liu Tai.

Chu Hui accompanied him, of course, mainly because he received Zhang Bin, while Liu Tai wrestled with the soldiers in the army. After knocking the soldiers down, Liu Tai wiped his sweat and came over, looked at Zhang Bin and said, "Zhang Zhubo, General Shi Le has Have you decided?"

Zhang Bin asked Liu Tai. "The general is very patient. After setting up this camp, he devoted himself to training the soldiers.

This time passes day by day, and the general doesn't send anyone to my general's camp to say hello! "

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "If General Shi Le wants to use me, he will naturally send someone to contact him. If General Shi Le does not use Tai's plan, then no matter how much Tai urges him, it will be useless. We will see what General Shi Le decides when the time comes. Just obey his orders!"

Liu Tai replied with a smile, of course this was just for the occasion.

When the time comes, he, who has arbitrary power, can only decisively sell Shi Le when the Jin army comes over.

I went to the Taihang Mountains to fight guerrillas. As for Yecheng in Wei County, the Jin army was overwhelming and I couldn't hold it anyway.

Zhang Bin didn't say much. Anyway, based on Zhang Bin's observation of Liu Tai all the way, the more desperate people like Liu Tai are, the more likely they are to give up and listen to Shi Le's words, even if they are weird. !

But the people in the scene talked about the scene, Zhang Bin smiled and said, "There is indeed a change in the military situation, so I invite the general to come over!"

"What happened?" Liu Tai asked Zhang Bin with a serious expression. Liu Tai did not dare to neglect the military situation.

"What should I say? The Jin army has divided its forces?" Zhang Binlue said with a bit of sigh and a bit of pride.

"The Jin army divided its troops? They started taking action. Where did they divide their troops?" Liu Tai couldn't help but ask.

"That direction seems to be Huainan..." Zhang Bin couldn't help but say.

"Huainan? Huainan! Do you call this division of troops?!" Liu Tai was in disbelief when he heard Zhang Bin's words!
This is almost from this side of the Yellow River. Not only does it cross the Yellow River, but it also runs all the way south!

"I want to see General Shi Le!" Liu Tai said, "This is a good opportunity to attack, don't miss it!"

"This is why General Shi Le asked me to invite the general!" Zhang Bin looked at Liu Tai and said, "It's time for us to break up with the Jin army!"

Obviously, even in Zhang Bin's opinion, it has reached a suitable time for a decisive battle.
