The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 88 Liu Kun’s Struggle

Tian Tian left with doubts and confusion.

Although the whole plan has not started yet, Tian Tian has to select people, especially Liu Tai specially told Tian Tian.

This time, because he was needed to lead the beggar army, there was no need to bring military history with him.

Liu Tai's implication was that during this period, no matter what he did that violated military discipline, he pretended not to know about it.

This inexplicable trust not only made Tian Tian feel confused, but also made Tian Tian feel palpitated.

Liu Tai watched Tian Tian leave and began to recall the layout this time. To put it simply, there were three forces in Qingzhou: Gou Xi, local aristocratic families, and local people.

Normally, as long as they work together, it is almost impossible to defeat them.

However, because of Wang Mi, he was able to win over the Qingzhou family and ensure that this force remained neutral.

As for wanting the Qingzhou Aristocratic Family to support him, just save some money. Things like the Aristocratic Family are more icing on the cake and less of a help in times of need.

As for the kind of person who puts his own wealth and life on the line just to provide you with help in times of need, I'm afraid he needs a succubus like Liu Bei.

Due to the locust plague, the people of Qingzhou will definitely be in dire straits. How to deal with Gou Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, will determine the position of the people of Qingzhou.

Even so, if he directly competed with Gou Xi, his chances of winning would be [-]-[-].

To be honest, Liu Tai was not sure. After all, he had actually played against Gou Xi, and only then did Liu Tai know that Gou Xi was really not a fake.

"How did such a strong Gou Xi lose in history without even leaving his name?!" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Originally, he thought that the army strengthened by willpower could make up for his lack of command ability and complete the crushing on the battlefield.

But Gou Xi, who he had always thought was a passerby, actually used absolute strict military discipline and flawless command and defense to make himself fall short. This made Liu Tai not sure of defeating Gou Xi under normal circumstances.

For a general, if he can't think of the opponent's failure in his mind, then when he goes to the battlefield, he can only pray that God will take care of him. This is too fucked up.

It's like playing mahjong without finding anyone coming to give you money. Don't doubt yourself, you are the God of Wealth today.

When the forces he could use in Qingzhou and Taishan County were unable to defeat Gou Xi, Liu Tai naturally chose to introduce a new variable, which was the refugees in Hebei caused by the locust plague.

What Liu Tai didn't know was that in history, it was precisely because of the arrival of this wave of locust plague victims that Cao Yi's men were inexhaustible. He recovered after being defeated several times, and then continued to fight against Gou Xi. If there are more, God will be happy.

Liu Tai let Tian Jin pass, just as Liu Tai said that Tian Jin was the most suitable person among all people to lead the victims.

But Liu Tai must also consider that if Tian Tian successfully triggers a civil uprising and reorganizes the beggar army, especially if he successfully attracts Gou Xi's attention and successfully attacks Qingzhou, then Tian Tian will have an independent foundation.

Is it because I feel that my wings are strong, and I can use the Qingzhou counties and the beggar army to fight against me, or maybe I will really follow my own plan and fight against myself, and then lose to me completely, so that I can successfully take over Qingzhou.

I have to say that this is a test and a temptation of human nature.

Logically speaking, human nature should not be tested, but that is for personal interactions, but if military power is to be entrusted in the future, Liu Tai must consider it and test it.

Because Liu Tai needed more than just subordinates who obeyed his orders, but a companion who could truly understand his belief in reviving the Han Dynasty, and even a commander-in-chief.

Yes, Commander!
Although Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Zhou Ping and Zhao An were able to fight their way through the dead, their backgrounds were too low.

Their knowledge itself limits their vision, and it is not easy to improve their vision.

But Tian Zhen was different. He was a descendant of Tian Feng, and his family had once served as a county magistrate. The Rebellion of the Eight Kings brought his family to the bottom, and he himself became the commander-in-chief of the beggar army.

He is a person who has truly experienced the life of a noble family and fell to the bottom. What is more important is that such a person has risen from the bottom again.

Therefore, compared to other people who have never left their names in history, Liu Tai is more inclined to cultivate Tian Tian.

It's not easy for a person to rise up, but it's even harder to climb back up after falling from a wealthy family. He is considered an outstanding person after all!
Therefore, Liu Tai planned to let him carry out the uprising this time, and even give him a chance to sweep Qingzhou.

If he has the same ambition as himself and wants to reverse the Jin Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty, then he will naturally carry out the plan according to the plan.

If he is not satisfied with his ambition, then this is his best chance.

This was Liu Tai's test and Liu Tai's layout, because Liu Tai knew very well that if he successfully captured Qingzhou, Qingzhou would be his base for at least a long time in the future.

I'm not sure what the future will be like, but the only thing I can be sure of is that I need to start cultivating talented people.

If Tian Tian can control his desires, then Tian Tian will be the handsome guy he likes.

After all, to become a qualified commander, unless your military level can reach the level of the Four Saints, it is best to be able to clearly understand the political stance and act according to the political stance.

Rather than thinking about things purely from a military perspective, this is why Liu Tai admires Tian Tian.

Liu Tai couldn't help but take a deep breath when he thought of this. In the end, he still didn't know enough about the generals during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

This is why you need to cultivate your own talents.

Liu Tai shook his head and took a deep breath, "Let's not think about it so much. Let's prepare their winter clothes first."

When people have a clear goal, they naturally have a direction for action. No matter how incredible the plan is when it is first proposed, as long as you take action, you will eventually move closer to your goal.

Liu Tai's entire administrative system began to operate in an all-round way under Chu Hui's control, revealing a different kind of vitality.

At this time, Yuan Yanze observed curiously in Liu Tai's Taishan County.

To be honest, Yuan Yan had always known that Liu Tai was very good at running the army. After all, he led the Jin court's army to sneak attack Liu Cong, but Liu Tai counterattacked and killed him.

But now, looking at the booming city in Taishan County, Yuan Yan understood that Liu Tai was also a good person in governing the place.

Compared with how the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom governed the country, they not only had the Xiongnu's own tribal system, but also almost copied the Jin court in their inertial handling. In the past, Yuan Yan had never felt that there was any problem with the system of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom.

But now that I see Liu Tai's land equalization system and the army-mansion system, which stimulated the vitality of soldiers and people, I can't help but feel that there is a sense of inexplicable fragmentation in the political system of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.

At least Yuan Yan can be sure that even if it is the capital of a country, the people under his command will never be like the people here.Not only were their faces full of smiles, but at least their eyes were full of brilliance, allowing them to work without any urging.

Yuan Yan also went up to ask what was going on, and the person in charge said directly that after the locust plague, General Liu was kind-hearted, and Mr. Chu was in charge of the entire project. As long as the people were willing to come and work, , can all have food.

If there is no place to live, houses will be built directly on some wasteland during the work process for these people to live.

In this way, this river dredging project absorbed almost the entire Taishan County, and even some people from next door who had fled the locust plague and came to the local area.

And even if the river is dredged, people don't need to worry about being out of work.

Because General Liu promulgated the road plan for Taishan County, although there is not even a map now, it is reassuring to have a future.

Yuan Yan looked at Liu Tai's plans one after another, but he was thoughtful in his heart.

He can naturally see that these projects one after another have greatly comforted the psychology of the people suffering from the locust plague.

At the same time, because these projects attracted a large number of working people and provided housing and food for the people, Mount Tai seemed extremely stable and prosperous.

Yuan Yan had to lament Chu Hui's internal affairs skills, and even more lamented that Liu Tai was willing to provide food to support the entire Taishan County.

Although Yuan Yan could not understand the entire operation of Liu Tai, but seeing that all the people who went to work would have food to eat as long as they were willing to work, how much food would Liu Tai need to pour in in order to revitalize the entire Taishan County? Yuan Yan also Estimated.

This makes Yuan Yan not optimistic about the future of this model. After all, no matter how much food Liu Tai has, it will be eaten one day. When that happens, what will Liu Tai do?

However, Yuan Yan did not stop Liu Tai and Chu Hui. After all, Taishan County was still running smoothly, so what was the point of pouring cold water on them by himself.

Not to mention, they themselves run the entire Taishan County, and they know the weaknesses of Taishan County better than themselves.

So Yuan Yan paid a little attention to this matter and didn't take it too seriously.

"Waiting until next year, we should be able to know whether Liu Qingzhou's model is good or bad!" Yuan Yan decided in his heart.

Yuan Yan didn't stay here for too long. After resting for about a month, he said goodbye to Liu Tai and went back to Liu Cong's place.

During this period, although Liu Tai was patiently preparing to deal with Gou Xi, it seemed particularly peaceful.

But the confrontation between the Huns and the Han Dynasty and the Jin court did not stop, but Liu Tai and Gou Xi were not the core figures.

After Liu Cong arranged Liu Yuan's funeral, he immediately sent 4 soldiers led by Liu Can, King of Hanoi, Liu Yao, King of Shi'an, and Wang Mi to invade Luoyang. Shi Le led the cavalry to join Liu Can in Dayang and defeated the supervisor Pei Miao in Mianchi. Enter Luochuan.

Liu Can's army attacked and plundered Daliang, Chenliu, Runan Yingchuan and other areas, while Shi Le also sent troops from Chenggao Pass to surround Wang Zan, the prefect of Chenliu, at Cangyuan. Unfortunately, he failed to capture Cangyuan and retreated to Wenshijin to station. No action was taken for a while.

At the same time, Liu Kun, who had been recuperating in the north for a year, resettled his soldiers to boost morale and sent troops again to rectify the old mountains and rivers.

This time, Liu Kun personally led his troops to attack Liu Hu, who had delayed him in the Battle of Changping between the Han and Jin Dynasties.

If Liu Hu had not led the army himself, then there might be room for redemption in the Han-Jin Changping War.

Therefore, this time, in order to ensure that Liu Hu's Iron Buddha Xianbei could die completely, Liu Kun also contacted Tuoba Xianbei's Tuoba Yilu to join forces.

Facing Liu Kun's ancestral Liu family's charm technique in Zhuo County, Tuoba Yilu had no resistance at all, so he decisively sent his younger brother Tuoba Fu's son Tuoba Yulu to lead [-] cavalry to assist.

The two armies joined forces to break through Liu Hu's camp and massacre Liu Hu's Xianbei tribe!

Liu Kun never expected that the troops under Tuoba Yilu's command would be so brave. He immediately eagerly held Tuoba Yilu's hand and expressed his willingness to become brothers with Tuoba Yilu. As the Great Chanyu, he was granted the title of Daijun and was granted the title of Daigong.

Because Daijun belonged to Wang Jun of Youzhou, Liu Kun was writing a blank check at this time.

Moreover, in Liu Kun's impression, Wang Jun was quite fierce in fighting. In addition, Wang Jun was becoming more and more domineering, so he also wanted to use the power of barbarians to check and balance him.

But although Tuoba Yilu didn't know why he fell under Liu Kun's charm, he was still responsible for his people.

Therefore, it means that Daijun is too far away from what he currently controls, and the people cannot connect with him, so he asked if he could be allowed to enter Yanmen from the clouds, cross the Xingling Mountains to the north, and connect his land with Daijun.

After careful consideration, Liu Kun finally agreed.

After all, Liu Kun currently has too few resources at his disposal, which makes Liu Kun really need this knife.

But at the same time, Liu Kun also took advantage of the situation and proposed that the Han people in these lands must be handed over to him.

Liu Kun needed to gather the strength of the Han people in the north to strengthen himself, instead of continuing to scatter the Han people across the northern lands.

Tuoba Yilu agreed with Liu Kun's words. To be honest, it was impossible to say who suffered the loss between the two. After all, through such a transaction, Liu Kun's power was enriched, while Tuoba Yilu obtained a large amount of land.

This gave Liu Kun the basis to continue to check the Huns and Han from the north. After Tuoba Yilu's Tuoba clan owned these lands, the Tuoba clan truly had its own foundation. In terms of original history, it was It laid the first step for the birth of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After all, Liu Kun did not do this for himself. Basically, after gaining this power, Liu Kun immediately sent an envoy to Sima Yue, saying that he would invite troops to attack Liu Cong together again and completely defeat the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.

But Sima Yue didn't agree, which made many of Liu Kun's preparations in vain.

Needless to say, the Tuoba clan could have been restrained by war and allowed them to join him in fighting the Huns and Han Dynasty, but Sima Yue refused to launch a war, so the Tuoba clan would naturally rest and recuperate on the land agreed with Liu Kun, allowing Liu Kun to Tuoba clan can no longer be restrained.

At this moment, Liu Kun had an inexplicable feeling that he was determined to kill the thief and was helpless. No matter how sad and angry he was, he still had to live his life, and with his existence, he could threaten the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty behind him.

And Liu Cong never underestimated Liu Kun, so Liu Hu, who escaped from Liu Kun, was placed in Shuofang by Liu Cong.

Just like Liu Tai was treated before, Liu Cong announced that Liu Hu would be admitted into the clan and given the title of Duke Lou Fan, specifically to resist Liu Kun.

After all, in the Xiongnu-Han clan, as long as your surname is Liu, whether you want to become a clan member or not is only a matter of approval from the Xiongnu-Han Emperor.

It can only be said that under Liu Kun's operation, the North has strangely regained a somewhat peaceful confrontation.

　The next update will be in a little while, so don’t wait any longer.
