Chapter VII Sincerity of the Parties

Because reading and writing in this era is not an easy task in itself, otherwise, I don't need to tie up Chu Saijiu, who is obviously a hardcore member of the Jin Dynasty, by his side.

So this matter needs to be found by Wang Zhang, a son of the family.

After all, even if Wang Zhang is a family member, it is not easy to find a scholar who understands the Book of Han.

However, Liu Tai is not in a hurry, just wait patiently.

After all, if you want to arm the soldiers ideologically, this is a long thing in itself, and you can't be in a hurry, and you can make a small success in three or four years, Liu Tai is very satisfied.

In comparison, the current Liu Tai plans to take advantage of this opportunity in Zuo Guocheng to find assistance that can increase the combat effectiveness of the army, and the profession of military doctor immediately appeared in Liu Tai's mind.

I used to be a rogue, so it was unrealistic to want to establish a medical system.

But now that he is a regular army, the medical system must be built.

And this kind of thing doesn't mean that if you want to get it today, you can get it tomorrow, and the training of the profession of doctor can be said to be the most time-consuming.

Therefore, Liu Tai immediately began to inquire about the news of the doctor in Zuoguo City, in addition to the news of the doctor, Liu Tai also inquired about the news of Buzhuang in the local area.

Of course, Liu Tai can't let go of the training and study of the soldiers in his camp, so he is still quite busy and busy.

And the atmosphere of the entire rebel army these days has gradually become noisy, Liu Ling began to jump up and down to pull people in the rebel army, even Liu Tai and Liu Ling have come to ask if they want to follow him.

It's just that Liu Tai can also see that Liu Ling is polite to him at most, and I'm afraid that he doesn't have any expectations.

After all, Liu Tai's attitude has always revealed a firm Wang Mi faction, Liu Ling came to say hello, strictly speaking, he didn't really want to come over to win over Liu Tai, but said that you are the number one person in the rebel army, so give face.

And Liu Tai's move of pulling people gave Liu Ling Dangkou General Liu Yuan in Liu Yuan, and even the position seems to be bigger than Wang Mi, because Wang Mi is only a lieutenant of Si Li, which is also Liu Ling's courage to take the initiative to pull people.

This made the insurrectionists, especially some neutral speculators, who were not very determined in the rebel army, defect to Liu Ling.

But if you look closely, you will find that several cores around Wang Mi, Wang Zhang, Wang Sang, Cao Wei, Zhao Gu and others did not waver, as some people left, such as Xu Maung, Wang Yan, Gao Liang and Liu Tai about 511 small hills, were also noticed by Wang Mi, and the remaining people who continued to follow were almost 30,000 people left.

Although the number of people is small, Liu Tai can be sure that it is definitely easier to command this legion now than to command a rabble of seventy or eighty thousand, and even the upper limit of damage can reach the normal level of ancient soldiers, that is, about one layer of casualties.

However, the chaos in the rebel army has nothing to do with Liu Tai, and it is good for him to firmly support Wang Mi.

Over the past few days, Liu Tai has found the medical craftsman he wants, as well as the shop he needs linen.

It's just that Liu Tai touched his pocket, but found that he couldn't even touch a five-baht coin.

If this was not under Liu Yuan's nose, then Liu Tai might have sent soldiers over to rob him, but now Liu Tai decisively turned around and went to find Wang Zhang.

And Wang Zhang was quite happy when he saw Liu Tai coming to the door, "I have already found the teacher you are looking for who is proficient in the Book of Han, and in a few days, I will go to your military camp." ”

"......" Liu Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Zhang's words, and said, "Thank you, Second Uncle, but I didn't come here today for the sake of the scholars of Hanshu, but because I wanted to ask Second Uncle for some money!" ”

"How much?" When Wang Zhang heard Liu Tai's words, he didn't care.

Liu Tai usually never took the initiative to loot gold and silver treasures, and even if he was now obedient to Liu Yuan, he did not issue a fortune.

In such a situation, Liu Tai has no money, whether it is Wang Mi or Wang Zhang, it is more or less clear.

Liu Tai thought for a moment and replied, "About ten gold!" ”

"How much!" Hearing this, Wang Zhang's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes glared at Liu Taidao, "Could it be that you went to Nulu?" ”

"Female Lu? What Female Lu? Liu Tai calmly replied, "I want to recruit a few medical craftsmen to be responsible for treating some simple external injuries, and I also need to purchase some linen cloth for the soldiers to make leggings." ”

"You take good care of the soldiers in your camp!" Wang Zhang heard Liu Tai's words and instructed,

"I will lend you this money today, and I will return it to my second uncle in the future.

In the future, when we go to the battlefield, we will be smart, now we are a regular army, after capturing the city, don't just care about grabbing food, gold, silver and jewelry, it will be useful. ”

Wang Zhang's tone was flat, and he was not surprised by the two things that Liu Tai proposed.

Because whether it is a doctor or a legging, Wang Zhang, a family with a certain military heritage, actually knows.

The invention of the leggings is actually not unusual, because the original purpose of this thing was to reduce the effect of weeds and gravel on the soldiers when the soldiers were marching.

This is the most needed artifact for infantry who need to march dozens of miles a day at every turn.

At most, there is a little difference between the production method and the modern leggings, but from the terracotta warriors and horses of the First Emperor, it can be seen that the ancient army has appeared in the prototype of the leggings, and it must have developed in the Jin Dynasty.

It's just that compared to increasing the soldiers' ability to move by adding leggings, relatively speaking, people like Wang Mi and Wang Zhang feel that it is not cost-effective to pay for it.

First of all, in the general environment, human life is not worth much in this era, but it is even more valuable when equipped with weapons.

And leggings are destined to be consumables, and if you want to promote them on a large scale, you must have a relatively stable logistics.

Otherwise, don't say that Wang Mi can't afford this money, even if he can afford it, I'm afraid that he won't have so many materials in the end.

After all, there are still about 30,000 people in Wang Mi's hands.

Now, Liu Tai came to beg for it, because Liu Tai's camp was only more than 400 people, and Wang Zhang could afford so many people.

But even so, Liu Tai's money was not given by Wang Mi, but borrowed from Wang Zhang.

Even if Liu Tai knew, even if he didn't return Wang Zhang, he wouldn't say anything, but after all, it was a reasonable reason to refuse.

Soon Wang Zhang took ten gold and asked Liu Tai to buy linen to make leggings.

For Wang Zhang, Liu Tai can take the initiative to rescue his brother Wang Mi in times of crisis, which is naturally a brother.

Not to mention that Liu Tai is more or less able to watch him grow up, and he will naturally not be stingy with this money.

After instructing Liu Tai to send a team of men and horses to fetch the cloth together, Wang Zhang immediately went to find Wang Mi.

For Wang Zhang, Liu Tai's matter is just a trivial matter, after all, Liu Tai's army is only four or five hundred people in the final analysis, and the matter that he wants to discuss with Wang Mi now is a big matter, so in the face of Wang Mi, Wang Zhang did not dare to have the slightest neglect.

When Wang Zhang saw Wang Mi, at this moment Wang Mi was also staring at a recital that was about to be played, and when he saw Wang Zhang's arrival, Wang Mi said:

"Tai'er, why did you come here today?"

"You want to borrow some gold and silver from me, recruit some healers, and buy some linen to make leggings!" Wang Zhangdao,

"I thought I had climbed the Taihang Mountain, and I knew that this road was not easy to walk, so I found a way to improve the armament, and I agreed."

"Tai'er is close to you, these trivial things, you arrange him!" Wang Mi nodded.

"In order to find a teacher who understands the "Book of Han" for Tai'er, you have also worked hard, after all, it is easy to find a literate person these days, but it is really not easy to find someone who understands the "Book of Han"!" Wang Zhang shook his head with a smile and said.

"Let's not talk about these things!" Wang Mi handed the hand to Wang Zhang and said, "What do you think of this move?" ”

"A lot of the soldiers in our hands have been taken away by Liu Ling, Liu Yuan is a far-sighted person, and he understands the truth of being too late.

He should have rewarded us for our service to him, and now that we have taken this recital, he should have understood what we meant.

If he can't even understand this, then he is definitely not the master, and our brother must have already made plans! Wang Zhang said with a serious expression.

"Hmm!" Wang Mi also nodded when he heard Wang Zhang's words.

This time to take refuge in Liu Yuan is a heavy bet for himself, which is his understanding of Liu Yuan in the past, and also his own vision.

He can be under Liu Yuan, but he must be at Liu Yuan's core.

His own performance is his own bargaining chip, representing the acceptance and recognition of Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu and Han kingdom by the Han scholars.

At the same time, it is also a warning to Liu Yuan, he has almost done it, and it should be up to Liu Yuan next.

Wang Mi took a deep breath, picked up the watch again and looked at it, but he made up his mind and got up and left the mansion.

At the same time, Liu Yuan was also surrounded by his four major think tanks, Liu Huanhuan, Liu Yin, Wang Yu, and Zhu Ji.

Liu Yuan said slowly: "Wang Mi's hand shows his sincerity by retreating, obviously he is really taking refuge in Lonely, and he has no intention of occupying the magpie's nest."

If you treat him alone, I am afraid that the heroes of the world will think that they are lonely and narrow-minded, and they will not tolerate Junjie. ”

"Don't worry, the king." Wang Yu said slowly, "Since Wang Mi chose to retreat as an advance, he only militarily reduced the soldiers and horses in his hands, but he still did not see sincerity.

After all, the soldiers under his command were the rebels he brought all the way from Qingzhou, and there were dragons and snakes mixed in them, maybe Wang Mi himself wanted to take this opportunity to clean up.

The dismissal of soldiers is not the bottom line for Wang Mi. ”

"It's too late to ......" Liu Huanhuan glanced at Wang Yu and said slowly,

"Regardless of whether Wang Mi has the intention of picking up the opportunity to clean up, it is undeniable that for any commander, the dismissal of soldiers itself has the meaning of a strong man breaking his wrist.

At least Wang Mi has shown sincerity now, so if I treat him poorly, how can I show the king's tolerance. ”

Liu Yuan looked at the argument between the two conspiracy under his subordinates, and then looked at Liu Yin, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, and said,

"Changsheng, why haven't you said a word until now!"

Liu Yin heard Liu Yuan's words, but said slowly, "Does the king think that Captain Wang Mi is a hero?" ”

"Behind Wang Mi, Donglai Wang's family is a hero of the time, and he should be a hero!" Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"Since the king thinks that Wang Mi is a hero, then I think Wang Mi has already retired, and he should be entering now!" LIU Yindao,

"Only when he enters, can we know what he wants, right?"

Soon, Wang Mi's recital sheet was delivered to Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan looked at the recitals sent to him with a little trembling.

Liu Yuan handed this piece of music to a few people, and sighed, "Wang Mi persuaded Gu to ascend to the throne of God, and sure enough, Wang Mi came to vote sincerely!" ”

A group of strategists looked at the persuasion sheet sent by Wang Mi, and had to sigh that Wang Mi's step forward had indeed entered Liu Yuan's heart.

Wang Mi no longer has to reveal what he wants, because for Liu Yuan, as long as Wang Mi admits that he is under himself, then what he can't give.

This persuasion itself represents Wang Mi's submission, and Liu Yuan doesn't care about other details.

Soon, Liu Tai, who was in Wang Mi's military camp, soon discovered that the contacts between Zuo Guocheng and the military camp suddenly became closer.

Large bags and small bags of various material resources are constantly transported to the barracks, and these transported materials not only have food and weapons, but most importantly, there is armor, although it is quite common leather armor, but Liu Tai's eyes also lit up.

Liu Tai decisively found Wang Zhang and said, "Second uncle and second uncle, did our military camp send leather armor?!" ”

"Don't you have armor, and you're still bright light armor!" Wang Zhang looked at Liu Tai and felt that Liu Tai had grown a lot taller these days.

"But my guards aren't there!" Liu Tai pestered Wang Zhang, "Second uncle, give me a hundred, just a hundred!" ”

"Get out, I'll give you twenty copies at most, there's really no one more!" Wang Zhang shook his head at Liu Tai,

"These armors are what your Uncle Wang sold himself to come, and there are only more than 500 pieces in total, so it's not easy to come!"

"Uncle Wang is going to sell his body? You see I'm going to sell my body, how many can I want? Liu Tai has no bottom line.

"! You little guy wants to sell it, but no one else will accept it! Wang Zhang waved his hand and said,

"Wait a while, I'll give you twenty copies of leather armor, don't entangle here again!"

"Oh......" Liu Tai nodded, but he also decisively went to get his own armor.

As for Wang Mi going to sell his body, Liu Tai is not interested in this kind of thing.

After all, everyone is an adult, and Wang Mi will definitely measure the decision he makes.

In fact, at least in Wang Mi's own opinion, although he sold himself, he sold it for a good price.

It didn't matter what those vain positions were, the most important thing was that Wang Mi's rebel army was not directly under Liu Yuan's jurisdiction.

For Wang Mi, this is enough.

At least in Wang Mi's opinion, Liu Yuan has shown his sincerity in being able to do this.

But in fact, Wang Mi looked at Liu Yuan from the eyes of the Han people.

Although Liu Yuan is already very sinicized, he still has the habits of the Huns in the military system, after all, the military system under Liu Yuan still retains the habits of the grassland tribal system.

Therefore, not to mention Wang Mi, people like Liu Cong, Liu Yao, Shi Le and others all have their own military power that is not under Liu Yuan's jurisdiction.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding, but at least under this beautiful misunderstanding, Wang Mi feels that Liu Yuan is still very angry!
