Chapter 20 The Guardian of the Western Jin Dynasty
To be honest, Liu Tai doesn’t know how Wang Zhang will deal with Wang Cui.
However, Liu Tai understood that it was impossible for him to persuade Wang Cui to surrender. Only Wang Zhang or even Wang Mi, who had lived in Luoyang, could persuade Wang Cui to persuade him.
However, the original Wang Cui was the legendary "Twenty-Four Friends of the Golden Valley" and Wang Mi, who liked the knight-errant, was not in the same circle.
To be honest, Liu Tai couldn't guarantee that Wang Mi could persuade Wang Cui. He couldn't control the final outcome anyway.
At this moment, Liu Tai took advantage of the situation and made a request to Wang Zhang, hoping to get him some scholars who had studied "Han Shu".
Wang Zhang did not refuse Liu Tai's request and readily agreed.
Compared with Liu Tai's ability to hand over control of Yecheng so smoothly, the most important thing is that Liu Tai himself was ready to let the soldiers train in Yecheng, which saved him a lot of trouble. It not only satisfied Liu Tai's requirements,
It can also avoid extraneous branches.
It must be mentioned that compared with finding people who understand "Han Shu" in Zuoguocheng, it is much easier to find talents in this field in Yecheng, which is almost an elite city in the north.
For example, if you want to find someone in Zuoguocheng, you basically have to look for someone over forty years old, but here in Yecheng, you can't find someone who can recite "Han Shu" at the age of twenty.
It can only be said that some resources will be extremely difficult to obtain if you do not reach a certain level, but for those who have reached a certain level and understand the rules of this level, it is just a matter of words.
Liu Tai was very satisfied when Wang Zhang agreed, and completed the handover of defense with Wang Zhang. You Qi reluctantly handed over the leather armor to Wang Zhang, and was pulled over by Wang Zhang to greet Wang Mi.
In the final analysis, Wang Zhang only came here to serve as an outpost. Although he had the right to make decisions, he was ultimately serving Wang Mi.
Since Wang Mi has come, Wang Zhang, Li Gu, and Liu Tai will naturally come out to greet Wang Mi.
After the gathering, everyone held a banquet, eating meat and drinking wine, and felt very happy for a while.
However, after Wang Mi and Wang Zhang met, Wang Mi naturally knew Liu Tai's thoughts through Wang Zhang.
One night passed, and Wang Mi immediately convened a military meeting the next day. After all, seizing Yecheng, establishing a bridgehead east of the Taihang Mountains, and attacking the North China Plain was the initial strategy, but no one expected that Yecheng would be captured so easily.<
/p>
Therefore, what should be done next naturally requires a certain degree of discussion.
At this moment, Wang Mi looked at Shi Le, Cao Yi, and even Tian Zhen and others who had arrived, and said:
"This time Liu Tai did a great job in capturing Ye City and building it with 500 men, and captured Ye City for our army. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements.
Therefore, I took a temporary leave to serve as a commander in another department and commanded two thousand troops. I recruited and reorganized them on the spot in Yecheng. When I report to Your Majesty and confirm your merits, I will remove this falsehood.
I hope you will take this as an encouragement, make meritorious deeds, and help me as a great man!"
When everyone heard Wang Mi's words, they looked at Liu Tai with more or less envy.
After all, they all know that this time Liu Tai has made such a meritorious service and will definitely be rewarded. However, they are somewhat envious of being able to become a commander of two thousand troops. After all, Liu Tai is too young now.
Of course, because they are all brothers from Qingzhou, everyone knows everything about them. Except for Liu Ling, a monster with natural supernatural power, no one has been beaten by Liu Tai.
Therefore, although Liu Tai felt young and became a commander of another department after his meritorious service, he was not dissatisfied.
After all, if anyone is not convinced, they can naturally eat Liu Tai's fist.
As for Shi Le, to be honest, he saw that everyone around him didn't object, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything, but the doubts and curiosity in his heart were indispensable after all.
"Thank you, General! Tai Dingran will be ready to serve the great Han!" Liu Tai said without hesitation.
When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, he nodded with a smile on his face and said to Liu Tai:
"You will train troops and horses in Yecheng next. If you encounter obstacles next, you may need your help!"
"No!" Liu Tai responded immediately after hearing Wang Mi's words.
Wang Mi looked around at everyone and continued, "We have successfully obtained Yecheng, and I have written a report to your Majesty.
Now that we have captured Ye City, what do you think of our army's next offensive direction? You can speak freely, speak freely!"
Cao Yi came out decisively and said, "We have captured Yecheng, and our journey to the east is unobstructed. Naturally, we must cross Yangping, fight Qinghe, and then fight all the way back to Qingzhou!"
Regarding Cao Yi's words, to be honest, for a group of Qingzhou people who were beaten all the way from Qingxu to Xuchang, and then from Xuchang to Luoyang. Luoyang was beaten across the Yellow River, and now occupied Yecheng, this idea was almost instinctive.<
/p>
"That's inappropriate!" Shi Le immediately stood up and objected.
Because Shi Le didn't have any Qingzhou plot. On the contrary, for Shi Le, Liu Tai's capture of Yecheng proved that Wang Mi had a lot of talents. If he continued to let Wang Mi lead him, he would not get much credit at all. p>
So either he had to work alone, or he had to be in an environment he was familiar with, which made Shi Le say:
"Qingxu is too far away, and it is easy for an army to penetrate deeply alone. We should go north to take places such as Handan Changshan to solidify the foundation of the Han Dynasty."
"Actually, I want to go south to Hulao Pass and touch Luoyang again to take revenge!" Wang Sang said.
For the next strategic direction, to be honest, everyone started to argue.
Because everyone knows that if they follow the strategy they have proposed, they will not know what will happen to the country, but at least they will have more opportunities to make contributions.
Wang Mi calmly watched the discussion, and when Shi Le refused to retreat, he understood that Shi Le really wanted to go north.
As for the people on my side, although they have put forward their opinions one by one, most of them are heading south or east, with no direction at all.
So as the argument became more and more intense, Wang Mi frowned slightly, and seeing that Liu Tai didn't interrupt at all, he said to Liu Tai:
"Tai'er, it was you who captured Yecheng, why don't you come out and say something?"
Everyone's eyes followed Wang Mi's words and naturally fell on Liu Tai.
"There's no target... Why don't you just hit them all!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Mi and yawned.
"How ridiculous!" Li Gu couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard Liu Tai's words, and couldn't help but said, "You need to be careful when using troops, there is no way to attack!"
"But our strategy only ends when we attack Yecheng. Then we can either wait until His Majesty's order comes, or we can attack everywhere and attack wherever there is an advantage. Isn't it strange?" Liu Tai took it for granted!
Tao.
To be honest, in Liu Tai's opinion, you have occupied Yecheng and the army has arrived, so do you need to think about the next step?
Of course, it will bloom on all sides, and a front will fight from the banks of the Yellow River all the way to the edge of the Great Wall, wouldn't it be great if the entire North China fell into chaos?
If you lose, you will have to go back to the Taihang Mountains to hide. If you win, basically the whole north will change.
Of course, it’s because Wang Jun, Gou Xi, and Bei Gongchun are actually quite difficult to deal with. When they were at their peak, it felt like they were playing around with anyone they beat. They were really strong.
But put them together and look at them from the perspective of a commander of a large army. In fact, no one of them despises the other, and they are all trying to catch up with each other. If this is the case, then just fight such a large-scale war. p>
Anyway, the whole of Jizhou has turned into a mess. The one who suffers is definitely not the rebellious Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, but the one who suffers even more is definitely the Sima family who is now in charge of China.
After all, do you think everyone is named Huangfu Song? The Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down from south to north within one year.
When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, he glared at Liu Tai fiercely. Liu Tai raised his eyebrows, but shut up.
Wang Mi's eyes fell on Shi Le, and he understood that Shi Le and the Jie tribe he led wanted to go out independently, and at least the achievements they made were their own.
So Wang Mi finally knocked on the table and decided, "My army will not be stationed in Yecheng for the time being, but you can lead your headquarters to fight in the north, south, and east to test the strength of the Jin army. After all, this time the Jin army is
We haven't fought with us yet, so we don't know the strength of the Jin army, and it's hard to set goals."
"We will obey your order!" After everyone heard Wang Mi's words, they immediately agreed.
Liu Tai couldn't help but frown when he heard Wang Mi's words, but he didn't mean to care.
Because Liu Tai didn't expect that Wang Mi would actually accept his joke.
It's not that the tactics are bad, the main reason is that Wang Mi is not the kind of capable person who can carry out strategic command on a large scale. If he implements this tactic, he will be disrupting the war with the Jin court.
Obviously, the upper echelons of the entire army are now in strategic confusion. They have no clear idea of what to fight next, whether it should be fought, and why.
I just instinctively feel that I have captured Yecheng. If I don’t fight around, I won’t come in vain!
This is more or less related to the current composition of Wang Mi and the Jie army.
One is a foreign mercenary army, and the other is a peasant uprising army. For them, it is a normal routine for bandits to fly like combs. Of course, it is the Han army now, so it is also a routine operation for soldiers to fly like combs.
For the upper class, a reason is needed to attack a certain place, but for the soldiers at the lower level, they attack a certain place just for property or women, and there is no need for any other reasons at all.
But Wu'an and Yecheng were captured by Liu Tai, and they did not participate. Therefore, according to the rules, they cannot move in these two places, so they naturally need to find other targets.
At this point, there is a big reason why the first thing Wang Zhang did when he came over was to make Liu Tai give up and continue the war.
Even if you can win the battle and take the lead, you can't block the brothers' financial path. If Liu Tai takes everything, what will the remaining brothers eat?
To a certain extent, Wang Mi Tongbing has a more or less modern underworld character. It emphasizes friendship rather than discipline, respects morality rather than the world, and even in terms of strategy, it is like a street gang fight.
, no clear purpose.
But precisely because of Wang Mi’s method, for those who just want to hang out instead of thinking about the world, following such a boss is not a disadvantage.
After everyone listened to the order, they excitedly led their own troops to attack the surrounding cities. Liu Tai could not stop such actions that harmed the surrounding cities.
Of course, don’t think that they are kind-hearted just because they are rebels. Even because they are rebels who have nothing, they want everything when they plunder. They are really like locusts.
As the army plundered, the Chinese army under Wang Mi's command, in addition to his own headquarters, was also dispatched one after another.
It can be said that the entire area around Yecheng is extremely chaotic. On the contrary, because Yecheng was captured by Liu Tai, and now that Wang Mi is in charge, the security of Yecheng is actually a bit better.
This made the Yecheng clan and family aware of the disasters surrounding them, especially after seeing the scene where branches were constantly coming to seek refuge, they couldn't help but feel that it was pretty good that they were captured by Liu Tai, at least their own lives were still alive!
Of course, for the rebels under King Bi's command, they were like locusts crossing the border, but they were aimlessly causing trouble everywhere.
The discipline of Shi Le's Jie tribe troops is much better, and a very important reason is that Shi Le likes to understand what is going on.
Liu Yuan was a benevolent man, and his favorite general Liu Jing defeated the Jin general Wang Kan in Yanjin and then drowned more than 30,000 people in the Yellow River.
When Liu Yuan found out, he was furious and said: "How can Liu Jing have the face to see me! How can Heaven accept this kind of thing! What I want to destroy is just the Sima family. What's the crime for common people!" So he demoted Liu Jing's official position and from then on.
Liu Jing can no longer see anyone.
Because Wang Mi is a good friend with Liu Yuan, his behavior is somewhat unscrupulous.
But Shi Le does not have such conditions. For Shi Le, he has to be careful every step he takes. Since his immediate boss pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, he must also pay attention to benevolence and righteousness.
But when Shi Le found that his own interests could not be satisfied, Shi Le would not hesitate to make a cut.

No matter how you say it, even being a hypocrite has a meaning in this era.
Because Shi Le himself was good at fighting and had good military discipline at least for this era, he quickly captured Handan, Changshan and other places.
And because he felt that his power was too weak compared to Wang Mi, he began to consciously summon Han celebrities and called them the Gentleman Camp.
Of course, the current Junzi Camp is probably just an empty shell, but for Shi Le, he finally has a direction to pursue, and he has to be better than Wang Mi first!
It can be said that with the capture of Yecheng, the Xiongnu and Han army were developing prosperously.
In fact, not only Yecheng, but also Liu Cong began to organize an offensive to intimidate Luoyang, which can be regarded as a success!
At this time, the Jin court was in chaos again due to the internal chaos of the Sima clan, and had no time to pay attention to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties.
Because King Sima Yue returned to Luoyang and continued their messy struggle for power in the Sima family. As for such a trivial matter as being taken away from Ye City, it really didn't bother them.
However, just when the situation in the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties was improving, almost everyone ignored Liu Kun, who was appointed and removed as the governor of Bingzhou by the Jin court a year ago. The Zhenwei general Liu Kun was awarded the ridiculous title of "Mongol Navy" by the Jin court.
General Liu Kun takes action!
At this moment, Liu Kun looked at the generals and elites he had accumulated over the past year, saluted solemnly, and said: "This plan almost escaped death, but this is the only chance for Jin to curb the Xiongnu hypocrites. p>
I am here to respectfully drink the hot wine and wish you all a smooth trip!"
After everyone drank, the leader Wu Ming looked at Liu Kun and said, "Please rest assured Liu Bingzhou, we are willing to die to repay the kindness of the general for taking him in. If we win this battle, our name will be remembered in history. If we lose this battle, we will be remembered in history."
Since my soul has returned to my hometown, I would also like to ask Liu Bingzhou to add more meals and wait for our triumphant return!"
As they spoke, three thousand people headed south under the leadership of Wu Ming.
