Liu Tai's main job these days is to guide the soldiers to discuss this war, what methods can be used to save more effort on the road, what methods can be used to protect themselves more during the war, and what methods can be used to deal with the enemies encountered this time.
Better to deal with.
The life and death experience of soldiers on the battlefield is the most precious in Liu Tai's opinion. If it can be condensed into a few simple sentences, it can be regarded as the outline of the "Battlefield Manual" of this era. Of course, in addition to the handwriting on the first page sent by these village chiefs, which is almost as good as the doctor's handwriting, what's even more troublesome is that it is full of all kinds of "I was wondering..." "That's it..." "Swipe"
"Shua..." all kinds of meaningless words.
Integrating the post-war gains of the entire military camp is not only a very difficult task for the commanders, but also a very difficult task for military historians.
In the end, according to Liu Tai's request, these contents were finally compressed into about a dozen outlines, so that the recruits could understand them at a glance.
When the new recruits arrive, let them memorize these outlines first. If they can integrate them on the battlefield in the future, they will naturally be able to save their lives. As for those who cannot integrate them, they will die several times without success. In the future, they can learn all the above things. p>
All in all, Liu Tai was even busier when he returned to Pingyang than when he was on the battlefield.
But in terms of the sense of crisis, at least in Pingyang there is no need to worry about someone attacking directly, and psychologically it feels a lot more relaxed.
However, Liu Tai knew very well that since he had eaten this meal, he had to be prepared at all times. He allowed the soldiers to relax for a week, write reports, and then quickly resume training.
After all, between life and death, only the efforts brought by sweat are the things you can rely on most.
In fact, the entire Huns were in chaos at this time.
Not only was Liu Cong's attack unfavorable to Luoyang, he was also chased and killed by many soldiers by the enemy.
Soon after, even if Shi Le led an army to attack Youzhou, he was defeated by Qi Hong, Xianbei Duan Wuchen and other generals sent by Wang Jun at Feilong Mountain. He lost over 10,000 soldiers and even lost counties such as Changshan and Handan. Wang Mi could only retreat to guard Liyang County, Wei County (there might be another Liyang County in the future), and reorganize his soldiers to resist.
This naturally caused considerable turmoil for Yecheng.
It can be said that the national destiny of the entire Huns and Han Kingdom suffered a serious setback after winning the Changping Battle of the Han, Jin and Jin Dynasties.
The strategy wanted to attack from two directions and fly together, but as a result, both wings were almost interrupted.
Of course, all this is nothing to the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms. The real problem is that Liu Yuan's health is getting worse day by day!
This is what makes Liu Cong most reluctant to save Shi Le after he came back and saw that Shi Le was so severely injured.
After all, Liu Cong was afraid that if he stepped out with his front foot, Liu Yuan would die.
When the time comes when the political legacy is divided up without you, will the relatives of the clan present, and even Liu He himself, leave a share for himself? I’m afraid they are all thinking about how to eat their own share!
Therefore, Liu Cong will definitely not leave until he sees Liu Yuan die.
Under such circumstances, just treat Shile’s letter for help as if you haven’t seen it.
However, Wang Mi naturally knew the news about Shi Le's defeat, and he had been waiting for this news.
After all, Wang Jun has always been suppressing Shi Le, so it is normal for Shi Le to be defeated by Wang Jun.
Therefore, Wang Mi stood up decisively and said: "I am willing to invite the army to rescue General Shi Le."
Liu Cong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Wang Mi's words. No matter what, it was a good thing that Wang Mi wanted to rescue him.
After all, Shi Le’s letter asking for help came, but the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty didn’t even send anyone there. Doesn’t that mean they have given up on Shi Le?
"No!" Liu Yuanlue said with a somewhat weak voice, "Cong'er's attack on Luoyang failed, and we need brave veterans like General to hold down the battle to avoid any chaos in the army. In the future, Cong'er's attack on Luoyang will require a general to support him!" Although Liu Yuan is dying, his IQ is still normal.
He knew very well that Shi Le and Wang Mi were completely different. Shi Le was born in the Jie clan and was destined to have a shallow foundation. Even if the lack of reinforcements this time became a temporary problem, he could still slowly figure it out.
But if Wang Mi is released, and with the blessing of his Han identity, you will know from Wang Jun who has become more and more independent in Youzhou that Wang Mi will definitely become an independent warlord.
Possible.
After all, I and Wang Mi have known each other since they were young. Such an indomitable gangster should not be underestimated!
Wang Mi didn't expect that Liu Yuan didn't seem to have much energy anymore, but he still refused to let himself go, so he couldn't help but said:
"Nowadays, Luoyang is difficult to attack because of the continuous replenishment of food and material resources around the Jin Dynasty.
I think that after rescuing Shi Le, we will not attack Youzhou first, but attack Jizhou first, and then cross the Yellow River. Whether we invade Yunzhou or enter Qingxu, it will be an important way to cut off Luoyang's food supply. I hope your Majesty will learn from it!" p>
To be honest, Wang Mi did not recommend him, but after the problem passed north of the Yellow River, Wang Mi was always struggling there. Under such circumstances, the Xiongnu Han Dynasty sent him to go, and then
is the most critical.
After all, besides myself, who else is familiar with that environment, and who else can control it vertically and horizontally?
It has to be said that with such a reasonable statement, even Liu Yuan could not think of any reason for rejection in a short time.m
Therefore, Liu Yuan looked at Liu Cong and asked Liu Cong to explain his words back to him.
Liu Cong can feel the pressure from his father. To be honest, although Liu Cong is talented and intelligent, he is not as good as Liu Yuan.
But he knew very well that the sooner his father was about to die, the less he could afford to lose points, so he thought urgently:
"This expedition to Luoyang made me realize that I have shortcomings and that I really need the support of General Wang Mi.
It is better to have General Huben Liu Tai as a separate unit and lead his troops to rescue Shi Le, and the two of them work together to capture Jizhou, and then let’s talk about the rest!”
"General Huben Liu Tai?!" Liu Yuan did not expect that Liu Cong would actually make such a suggestion.
Liu Cong's head was getting clearer and clearer at the moment. He was applauded for his sudden wit and continued:
"Although General Liu Tai is not very old, he has shown his demeanor as a famous general regardless of whether he captured Yecheng or the Battle of Changping. This time he conquered Luo, and he is even more meritorious. Moreover, he is the son of Liu Bogen of Qingzhou. If there is a need to attack Qingzhou in the future,
Xu, you can also let him attack!"
"I remembered it, Queen Chengyang!" Liu Yuan also remembered it, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Wang Midao, "Ai Qing, what do you think, how about General Hu Ben's assistance."
"How can I see it? How can I see it!" Wang Mi muttered in his heart, but he could only nod his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
To be honest, in Wang Mi's mind, Liu Tai, his nephew who was raised by himself, would naturally not have any doubts about his nephew coming to save him as soon as he encountered danger. To a certain extent, this was considered suboptimal.
Select.
It's just that I haven't communicated my purpose to Liu Tai yet. This time I want to communicate with Liu Tai when I go back. Don't be stupid and use it as a knife for Shi Le.
So Wang Mi also said to Liu Yuan: "My nephew is somewhat arrogant because of his military exploits.
Your Majesty also requests that your nephew have the right to self-determination. Otherwise, if he has been under General Shi Le for a long time, he may have conflicts with General Shi Le!"
Liu Yuanting heard Shi Le's words and understood that Wang Mi was negotiating conditions with him, but then he thought about it and realized that Wang Mi was right to worry.
After all, now I think of Liu Tai's performance all the way, and look at Shi Le's performance all the way. Basically, one is winning and the other is losing.
If it weren't for Shi Le, he would always lose, but the main force of the Jie clan didn't suffer any serious damage, and I'm afraid Shi Le would have been gone.
But no matter what, Shi Le can't suppress Liu Tai now, so he might as well grant Liu Tai the right to make his own decisions.
So Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The general considered it right and granted General Huben the power to make decisions about his own army."
When Wang Mi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least Wang Mi believed that with Liu Tai's military strength and the power to make decisions, even if he wanted Liu Tai to die, it would not be easy.
.
After all, when he was so young, Liu Tai's whole family was dead. Only Liu Tai escaped by himself, and now he has shown extraordinary military talents. From these places, it can be seen that this kid is very tough.
"Thank you for your grace!" Wang Mi saluted quite gratefully this time.
At this time, Liu Tai was still in his military camp and began to study with Chu Hui about the army's acquisition of supplies.
"This time to obtain supplies, the soldiers were loaded with property. If they were attacked by the enemy, the soldiers would not dare to fight to the death for fear of the property in their hands.
This time it was Liu Jing who blocked the disaster for us, otherwise even if it were me, I might not be able to deal with the cavalry being chased by the Sima clan!"
Liu Tai couldn't help but feel emotional when he said this, "Looking back on that situation, it was still too dangerous!"
"It is a very simple truth that soldiers fight for wealth!" Chu Hui said to Liu Tai, "If the general wants them not to love property, it would be too unrealistic."
"No!" Liu Tai thought, "What I mean is, can we think of a way or come up with a system to let them place the loot in a public place first.
At least they will not be attacked by the enemy when they are marching, causing them to be afraid of the spoils and affecting the battle!"
When Liu Tai thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would be great if there was electronic currency like modern times, how much they plundered, and he could buy it directly with his own money.
On the battlefield, you go out and return thirty times. If you take the things plundered from the battlefield and circulate them around in your hands, you will eat up the price difference.
After all, Liu Tai also saw that many luxury goods captured on the battlefield were really unaffordable.
Especially for many big-head soldiers, they don't know many luxury goods at all.
But when it comes to things made of gold or silver, they don't hesitate to bite them with their teeth. Through this rather simple method of identification, they can distinguish the true from the false and understand the value of these natural currencies.
"It would be easy to find a place to gather their supplies, but the question is, will the soldiers hand them over?"
Chu Hui said, "At least for the soldiers, these are related to their wealth and lives. If there is really a way to get him to hand it over..."
At this time, Chu Hui couldn't help but cast his eyes on Liu Tai.
"Why are you watching what I'm doing?!" Liu Tai couldn't help but look at Chu Hui looking at him.
"General, let you be your guarantee!" Chu Hui said, "If the soldiers have anyone they can trust, I'm afraid it's only you.
Unless you provide guarantee, I really can’t think of any of the soldiers who would be willing to take the initiative to take out their spoils of war!”
"Me? Guarantee!?" Liu Tai couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Chu Hui thought Liu Tai was embarrassed and said, "If the general doesn't want to..."
"No! I do!" Liu Tai said decisively.
To be honest, Liu Tai's hesitation just now was entirely because he thought of the modern saying, "The uncle is the one who owes money!"
In the past, I led my troops and stayed there honestly, without involving gold and silver. Under such circumstances, a lot of modern financial knowledge has no room for use.
But now that I have begun to owe money, some modern and superficial financial knowledge can be of some use.
After all, finance all starts with owing money.
Liu Tai thought of this and said to Chu Hui, "Mr. Chu, please help me pay attention. If the soldiers have seized something from their hands when they go out to trade these days, please help find out the prices of the items sold by the soldiers.
In addition, the ninth battalion of the army will reserve more high-grade paper in the future, so that I can write IOUs to the soldiers when collecting items!"
"Oh?" Chu Hui was a little surprised when he heard Liu Tai's words. He didn't expect that Liu Tai really planned to put his credibility on the line.
When he thought of this, Chu Hui felt that Liu Tai was a very responsible person, so he nodded and said, "Chu Hui takes the order."
"By the way, it's best to help find a local market leader or something. I plan to purchase some daily necessities. Come and ask about the price." Liu Tai said to Chu Hui seriously.
In terms of military matters, he still needed a little accumulation, but in terms of economic matters, after Liu Tai figured it out, he soon found that as the commander of an army, he could become a second-level dealer when faced with looted materials. Purchase it from the soldiers at a low price and sell it to local merchants through expanded channels. Similarly, you can also purchase large quantities of products from some merchants and sell them to your subordinates when needed.
When Liu Tai thought of this, he couldn't help but pat his head. He only regretted that he had only thought of this now.
Then I thought again, I only had a few hundred people at the beginning and couldn't support a market at all.
But now the number of soldiers has reached 3,000. These 3,000 soldiers can even support the economic cycle of a small village.
Of course, it was different from when I had hundreds of people at that time. It was such a large scale that I thought of the corresponding questions at this moment.
Just when Liu Tai was thinking about whether he should go to Wang Zhang to establish corresponding channels or establish his own shipping channels, he did not expect that Wang Zhang would come to him first.
