Chapter 40: The Honest Liu Tai

Shi Le listened to Liu Tai's words, the more he listened, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at Liu Tai, the more pleasing he became.

No matter what else it is, at least Liu Tai's attitude towards it, Shi Le can feel sincere.

It doesn't matter whether Liu Tai is really sincere, or if he is sincere to himself for the sake of money, at least it makes Shi Le feel that he didn't give the gift in vain!

In comparison, Shi Le couldn't help but think of the other magnates of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, even if they gave gifts to the door, but which of them had given him a good face, seeing that he was from the Qian tribe, even if he was a heavy general, he looked at himself as if he was a slave.

Even if Shi Le knows how to drill camps, knows how to laugh, and understands that the big husband should be able to bend and stretch.

But watching his golden gold sent out, and even begging for a chance to kneel, and then looking at Liu Tai's attitude of taking money to do things, the gap is too big!

And Liu Tai didn't have too many ideas, he just felt that since Shi Le gave money, he naturally wanted to serve him well, and this was naturally word-of-mouth.

And Wang Zhang also mentioned this matter at the beginning, and he can't be careless.

He smiled and brought Shi Le into the barracks, and at this time, Shi Le also happened to see the soldiers in the barracks running.

"Speaking of which, I heard that when General Huben was under the command of Donglai Gong, he seemed to have trained his soldiers to run!" Schlewd.

In this battle of Changping, Liu Tai successfully obtained the rank of General Hu Ben, and Wang Mi, as the commander who attacked the main force of the Jin army head-on and forced Wang Kuang to surrender, was naturally rewarded and was named the Duke of Donglai.

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "My uncle and I used to be rebels, so we relatively understand the importance of self-protection on the battlefield.

This ability to protect oneself is not only for oneself, but also for the soldiers under one's command.

Train them to run so that they can run away in the event of a big defeat, and at the same time to make it easier for them to regroup.

This is a habit left over from when he was a rebel army, General Shile and I have fought with the Jin army, so I should understand that it is not easy for soldiers! ”

"I understand, I understand it so much!" When Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, he felt as if he had found a confidant.

So far in this life, Shi Le, who has won a battle or something, doesn't dare to say that he can fight more, but if he wants to say that he loses a battle, then he knows too much.

That's all the experience I have accumulated through life and death on the battlefield, and I have basically been dedicated to defeating battles for more than 20 years.

Liu Tai continued, "And the recruits have to practice running, don't say anything, at least they have to keep up with the speed of the army."

Let's see that General Shile will go to Jizhou soon after you return, and now the court is still debating whether to go south or not!

I don't expect these recruits to play much of a role then, but at least they can't be held back on the march! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Shile also nodded approvingly.

As a veteran warlord, he also knew that there was not much time for the army to actually fight, and more time was spent on the march.

If the speed of the troops' actions is accelerated, there may not be much direct combat power, but the strategic value of this thing, Shi Le still vaguely feels.

"General Shile, have you eaten the light of day today?" Liu Tai asked.

(In Hakka, Tianguang means breakfast, which means "morning food and daylight, peace and security", and the earliest Hakka people were the scholars who crossed Nandu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the local dialect of the Huiji area also retained a bit of antiquity.) )

"Naturally, I came here after eating morning food." Shi Le was stunned when he heard Tianguang and reacted.

"Then please ask General Schle to wait a while so that he can have breakfast with me." Liu Tai nodded when he heard Shi Le's words.

"General Liu hasn't used the morning food yet?" Shi Le couldn't help but say with a little curiosity.

"Wait for them!" Liu Tai pointed to these soldiers who were still running, and said, "My army training is more harsh, so the food must be kept an eye on, if they are harsh, the soldiers are afraid that they will rebel!" ”

Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, and there was inevitably a little more curiosity in his eyes.

But Liu Tai didn't say much, and soon it was time for the meal, and it was almost a war drum sounded, and a group of soldiers who had finished running came in to receive their pottery.

And Liu Tai received two naan cakes, a bowl of lamb bone soup, a stack of sauerkraut, and even tofu from it, at least as a side dish for the rice.

This kind of thing is not that Liu Tai came up with it, but that tofu has been invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan, for hundreds of years, and the bean curd technology has long been out.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be discovered by the scholars and actively eaten, but it is a kind of food that only appears at the bottom of society.

I am afraid that the people at the bottom will experience the turmoil and plague of the Three Kingdoms, natural disasters and man-made disasters, so they will eat rotten tofu to fill their stomachs at all, otherwise this is not to mention the wealthy families, even the children of the poor family may not eat bean curd.

So logically speaking, it is really only possible for this special food to appear among the people.

And this thing was on the history books almost in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and slowly climbed into the field of vision of the family from the bottom, and was even qualified to record a sum in the history books.

Thinking about it, this kind of thing must have appeared in the history books and has gradually developed among the people, and little by little it has entered the eyes of the historians of the scholar clan from rotten food.

Liu Tai was eating naan cakes, drinking mutton bone soup at the same time, and occasionally eating a bite of sauerkraut or tofu, but he was very uncomfortable.

Especially his mutton bone soup is still filled with a lot of meat to eat, Liu Tai will naturally not be polite.

"The general's food is so good, I'm afraid the soldiers will eat the poor general!" Shile couldn't help but say curiously.

"Naturally, I can't afford to eat." Liu Tai looked at Shi Le and said, "Today's mutton bone soup is paid for by the general!" ”

Although he didn't understand the so-called payment for Shi Le, he was also conscious of the context, but Shi Le also understood that the money and food that Liu Tai had been embezzling all the time seemed to have changed the food of the army under his command!

But it's no wonder that he eats so much meat in his soup, but he doesn't feel the slightest embarrassment.

Of course, the other soldiers were not as well taken care of as Liu Tai.

In the past, there will be meat and soup for school officials above the tun chief like Liu Ming, and if the tun chief captain is in the past, it will be soup and meat.

If the captain's position is in the past, it depends on whether there is any meat floating in the soup.

It can be said that although a bowl of soup is small, it reflects the grade vividly.

These chefs don't have the ability to do anything, but the kung fu of turning the spoon with one hand is even more superb, and Liu Tai is very impressed.

And Liu Tai did not come here to implement a fair policy for the soldiers, which cannot be absolutely fair in the 21st century, and he will not promote such an unrealistic idea in this era.

All I wanted was to make sure that the lamb bones didn't turn into white radish soup, and that the meat on the lamb bones wasn't eaten by the rats.

As for the soldiers at the bottom who want to eat meat, it is good to kill the enemy and promote them to official positions, so that the soldiers can see tangible benefits.

No one is not the Liver Emperor, and even if they are not, they will be forced to become the Liver Emperor in Liu Tai's army.

Because there's nothing more exciting than watching your hard work pay off.

Especially under the commander, some people rely on discipline to lead the troops, some rely on friendship to lead the troops, and some rely on force to lead the troops.

As for the tun chief and above, it needs Liu Tai to slowly observe and cultivate.

After all, he is not the kind of pervert who can lead the army by recognizing people, so every tun commander goes up, and he needs them to take the exam.

The exam itself is not difficult, at least for the soldiers who listen to the "Book of Han" as a story every day, the real difficulty is how to get to the exam table.

Not to mention anything else, at least you have to be able to write, and this is the Wenhua subject that stuck the soldiers.

And Liu Tai's reason is also very simple, you continue to assume higher positions, and the force is definitely enough, but for the sake of the soldiers under your command to be responsible, you must be all-rounder.

As for the military history, if you want to go up, you also need to serve as the commander to lead the team once, so this time, many newly recruited commanders are also transferred from the military history.

This promotion of his position made at least some of the soldiers who fought with him a little higher in their official positions, and also slightly released the satisfaction of human beings for this kind of liver emperor and liver position, which made it much more convenient for Liu Tai to lead them.

After eating the morning meal, the soldiers rested for a little two quarters of an hour, and then immediately began to train the military column.

Naturally, it also starts from the most basic front, back, left, right, and left, and waits for the basic queue.

Because they are recruits, these are naturally indispensable, and after the training is in-depth, they will go to the flags and drums, identify the military orders, and complete the most basic military cooperation.

Don't say it, when Liu Tai wants to go up in a cone-shaped formation, you will at least follow the veterans to go up, instead of looking blankly around the battlefield, blank and not knowing what to do.

And training in this area is actually not an unusual thing in this day and age.

Even purely from the experience and methods and skills of soldier scheduling, the famous generals of this era may be much better than Liu Tai.

Therefore, Shi Le didn't even need Liu Tai's explanation, he could watch it with relish, and even have a bit of a taste of refreshing the old and knowing the new.

And when this queue is trained, it is almost time for lunch, and sorghum steamed buns are eaten for lunch.

In this era, steamed bread is also available, whether it was invented by Zhuge Liang is another matter, but at least steamed bread is still a relatively niche food.

Liu Tai also took bribes before letting the soldiers eat once in a while, after all, Shi Le came, and he wanted to show his posture.

And the soldiers are also gobbling up, especially those who have just been recruited, they are even more open to eating.

Compared with those veterans who came down from the battlefield and survived, they seem much more calm.

Because they have been following Liu Tai for a long time, they know that Liu Tai will add meals to them from time to time, relatively speaking, it is still the most comfortable to eat the roast sheep at the beginning.

These Shile also saw it in their eyes and didn't say anything.

Although he chatted with Liu Tai from time to time, he no longer felt novel, because Liu Tai's behavior was nothing unusual compared to many famous generals, and even if he ate and lived with the soldiers, Liu Tai may not be as good as the soldiers.

After eating, Shi Le thought that the soldiers would continue to train after a little rest, but he didn't expect that after they rested a little, the military history entered the barracks one by one, and began to teach them in the house, analyzing the "Book of Han"!

Shi Le watched the soldiers listen carefully to the analysis of the Han book one by one, and the progress of each of them was fast and slow, obviously not because he heard that he liked history books, so he specially prepared it for himself today, which made Shi Le curious.

Shi Le looked at Liu Tai and said very suspiciously, "The soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, so do you also want to learn history?" ”

"We are Hanchen, how can we not learn Han history.

If you don't know the history of the Han Dynasty, you don't know the heroism of Your Majesty, and if you don't learn the history of the Han Dynasty, you don't know the shamelessness of the Jin court. ”

Liu Tai looked at Shi Le Dao, "Soldiers can only know where they came from by studying Han history; Only by studying Han history can you know what you are fighting for; Only by studying the history of the Han Dynasty can we know that although the Jin Dynasty is vast, it will be destroyed by the Han! ”

When Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, his heart was also shocked for a while, and he vaguely grasped something, but said with a little emotion,

"The general is sincere, I already know, I am afraid that only a sincere person like the general can train such an amazing hero!"

Shi Le somewhat understood why, in the dark of night, the enemy attacked, and the soldiers under Liu Tai's command did not have any panic, but were able to defeat the enemy with a counterattack under the leadership of Liu Tai.

It was because I saw Liu Tai's ability to lead troops that he wanted to communicate with Liu Tai here.

To be honest, Shi Le didn't expect Liu Tai to agree at all, but Liu Tai just agreed, and Liu Tai put his mystery in front of him, so sincere that he was really just a fourteen-year-old young talent!

Liu Tai clapped his hands quite earnestly, and soon someone sent a copy of the Han book.

Liu Tai opened his mouth and said: "Today, the general came to my barracks, and I naturally will not let the general return empty-handed."

But looking at it today, I believe the general also understands that Tai is just an ordinary general with the posture of a middleman.

If there is any secret, it is just to let the soldiers read the "Book of Han" diligently, encourage each other, and realize the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Now this book is given to the general, and I hope that the general can strive for the revival of the Han Dynasty for all of us! ”

Liu Tai said, and sent the "Book of Han" that had been prepared a long time ago to Shi Le's hands and said enthusiastically.

Shi Le looked at the "Book of Han" sent by Liu Tai but was a little stunned, and couldn't help but say, "A certain is a Qian, and he is also a Han person?" ”

"Why can't it, you only need to write Chinese characters, speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, and perform Han etiquette, who can't say that he is Han, don't say it, do you think Your Majesty is Han!" Liu Tai said calmly.

"Be careful!" Shi Le didn't expect Liu Tai to actually pull the words on Liu Yuan's body, and let himself comment, you are only fourteen years old and say the wrong thing, maybe no one cares, but if you say the wrong thing, it will be the nine clans!

Liu Tai looked at Shi Le like this, and couldn't help but say, "In short, General Shi Le exchanged the art of war with me, then this "Book of Han" is the essence of my art of war, in addition, I think the general will read more "Sun Tzu's Art of War", maybe he will have more experience!" ”

"Thank you Liu Huben for your doubts!" When Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, he hurriedly saluted and thanked him, raised his head and looked at Liu Tai's eager eyes to study the "Book of Han" by himself, and always felt that it would be good if he could accept Liu Tai as his righteous son.
