Chapter 45 Immovable as a Mountain
"Don't gossip, I should have got a lot of books when I came over today!?" Liu Tai looked at Yuan Yandao.
When Yuan Yan heard Liu Tai's words, he also took out a book and said, "Sang Gong's "Water Classic" is annotated by today's famous scholar Guo Pu, which describes the waterways of 137 major rivers in the country, how about it, it meets your requirements!" ”
"How much gold!" Liu Tai was not polite when he heard Yuan Yan's words, and asked directly.
"Five hundred gold, Wen Xi Guo's family is more or less a local wealthy family, if it weren't for the military power of the King of Chu, I am afraid that this kind of family study would not allow me to copy a copy." Yuan Yan thought for a moment and reported a number to Liu Tai.
Liu Tai brushed and wrote down a white note, and then said, "You take it first, when you ask for money, just come to me and get it, now even if I give you five hundred gold, you can't get it back!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take this white slip!" When Yuan Yan heard Liu Tai's words, he unceremoniously left the white strip.
However, Yuan Yan accepted the white slip and said, "What are you doing collecting these miscellaneous studies?"
If you want to learn culture and become an official, you should use Confucianism such as "Shangshu", "Poems", "Rites" and "Spring and Autumn". ”
"Etiquette collapses, but it is actually useful, in my opinion, this "Water Classic" is more important than the Confucian metaphysics!" Liu Tai shook his head and said,
"By the way, if there are books such as "The Book of Victory", "The Book of Zhang Heng", and "Qi Min's Technique", help me find them."
"I know a little bit about "Pan Shengzhi" and "Zhang Hengshu", don't say it, there should be rare books in Luoyang.
But I have never heard of "Qi Min's Technique", the name is so atmospheric, I think it should be a strange book for governing the people! ”
Yuan Yan thought for a moment when he heard Liu Tai's words, and replied to Liu Tai.
Liu Tai only roughly remembered that "Qi Min Yaoshu" was made by Jia Siqian during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
But I don't know the specific era further, and now I don't care if I hear that Yuan Yan hasn't heard of this book, but said:
"All in all, I am interested in all kinds of miscellaneous books that can be used as tools.
"General, you have a lot of knowledge...... It's quite different from other generals! Yuan Yan heard Liu Tai's words, but he couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, because he stayed in Liu Cong's military camp for some days, Yuan Yan also knew that Liu Tai was not in Liu Cong's military camp, even in Wang Mi's army, it was quite alternative.
After all, every time there is a break, the only army under Liu Tai is the army under Liu Tai who will ask the military historians to tell the soldiers the story of the "Book of Han" or Han idioms.
Even I have heard that the reason why some of the hundred battle commanders in Liu Tai's army did not go further was that they were illiterate and could not write. When they are literate, they will basically be promoted.
As for the reason, it is just for the soldiers at the bottom to be responsible, and the higher the official position, the higher the requirements for the soldiers.
The soldiers before the tun chief were all kinds of rotten, and they only listened to the stories of the "Book of Han".
After all, learning such a painful thing, how can it be comfortable to listen to these military histories and tell all kinds of allusions to the Book of Han during the war.
But when the soldiers reached the level of tun chief, they began to work hard and began to learn.
After all, mastering literacy skills is a mandatory requirement at this time, and in fact, mastering literacy skills is not a bad thing.
And Liu Tai let this matter go, at the beginning Liu Tai wanted all the soldiers to be literate.
But realistically, literacy is really not that simple.
Don't look at modern society, people can read and write, so everyone feels that reading and writing feels normal.
But from another point of view, in the fastest time period for human beings to accept things, it took at least five years to master a variety of Chinese characters, and the materials consumed by the country during this time alone are an astronomical amount.
In his previous life, Liu Tai thought that learning words was so rare, but now he is working hard to promote education, but he finds that everything is difficult.
As small as the tools needed to learn words, the most convenient ones now are the sand table, a branch, a wooden board, and a box of dried river sand, which can basically be used as the simplest teaching tool, of course, the most important thing is that this is free.
But this kind of thing is only useful in the hands of people who have the initiative to learn.
After all, this kind of thing can't be used to assign homework, at most, it's a person who really works hard, takes this sand table back, scribbles, writes, and recycles.
But again, there are too few people with this kind of subjective initiative, not everyone is so far-sighted, let alone everyone likes to learn.
Even if he relied on his own martial arts and meritorious deeds to become the commander of the tun, there were people who didn't want to learn, and Liu Tai was quite helpless about this.
After all, Liu Tai is only an officer under Wang Mi, with limited resources in his hands, although he can fill the bottomless pit of literacy to a certain extent with the finances he receives, but he has not formed an effective system.
However, Liu Tai didn't care, at least for now, the soldiers he had cultivated in this way had a clear gap with other alien armies in terms of organization and willpower.
Don't say it, just facing the cavalry and daring to line up to fight against it, instead of turning the whole army to battle, your army is enough to become an elite.
After all, in the army, being able to fight is the last word, and as long as there is no peace in the world, being an elite commander is, to a certain extent, the profession with the highest safety factor in troubled times, so Liu Tai is not afraid of Liu Yao.
At this time, there was a sudden riot in the right camp, and when he heard the commotion, Liu Tai couldn't help but look at Yuan Yan.
"Assemble, array!" Liu Tai reacted immediately and immediately gave an order.
Soon, Liu Tai's personal guards beat the gongs and drums noisily, and the soldiers who were listening to the story of the "Book of Han" in the barracks suddenly came back to their senses and came to the school field in the barracks one after another, and quickly lined up to deal with the strong enemy.
At this time, Yuan Yan looked at Liu Tai very strangely, to be honest, he knew that Liu Tai was carrying elite soldiers, and even saw Liu Tai's army face the cavalry charge with a gun array and was fearless, this kind of infantry was already quite terrifying in Yuan Yan's eyes.
It's like the Yue family army, daring to roll directly under the kidnapping horse and cut the horse's legs, this kind of soldier can basically ignore his own life and death, and ignoring his own life and death itself is a hard standard that an elite must meet.
But today, the army is assembled in less than two-thirds of an hour, that is, about ten minutes.
Liu Tai, the army that was originally listening to the story in the barracks, had actually completed the assembly in the school field of the barracks, and the various branches of the army had already fought for their positions, although they were still a little messy, but the entire military formation had already come out.
Yuan Yan thought about it again, when he was in charge of the county soldiers, he would burn high incense when he could integrate the army in half an hour.
What's more important is that in this process, there are people who desert, people who can't find the team, and people who don't have good armor...... There are so many problems that Yuan Yan feels an incomparable headache.
But looking at the army under Liu Tai, Yuan Yan realized for the first time why everyone admitted that Liu Tai was carrying elite soldiers, nonsense! How can someone who can complete the military formation in such a short time not be an elite.
Fortunately, he attacked Liu Cong's military camp that night, and if he attacked Liu Tai's military camp, he was afraid that Liu Tai would kill his army while reorganizing his army.
The speed of this army is too fast and too incomprehensible!
In contrast, Liu Tai couldn't help frowning as he watched the army reorganize, feeling that the speed of the whole army was still too slow!
In ten minutes, even the elementary school students on campus ran from the upstairs classroom to the playground to do broadcast gymnastics.
But his army didn't even find a complete queue, which made Liu Tai know that his army was far from enough!
However, after the army lined up, Liu Tai did not rush out immediately.
After all, the right battalion is the garrison of the Hun army, and at the same time, when I look at it, it is only the right battalion that has been attacked, and the main battalion is not in chaos, obviously Liu Cong has nothing to do.
Therefore, Liu Tai decisively made the most irresponsible choice-
He sent someone to tell Wang Mi that he had finished purging the army and would firmly defend his camp.
If you have any scheduling, please enjoy the scheduling, and never shirk yourself.
Why is our army as immobile as a mountain when attacked, is Liu Tai this kind of person?!
Liu Tai just adheres to a fair, just and open choice and follows the procedure in an upright manner.
The one who can dispatch himself is either Liu Cong, the commander, or Wang Mi, the direct superior.
Since the two of them are fine, but the other allies have something, then he naturally needs to ask his superiors for instructions before deciding to act.
As for what generals are not subject to military orders abroad, the problem is that whether they are their own commanders or their immediate superiors, what are they doing to rescue them so well, it is not because they are secretly communicating with the army outside, and they can't get along with the inside and outside.
Yuan Yan watched Liu Tai complete the formation in a short time, and then decisively deployed in the camp, without the slightest intention of rushing out of the camp.
The more I listened to the loud fighting sound of the right battalion, and then looked at Liu Tai's army, the more motionless it was, and even some soldiers said with great interest that the smoke in the right battalion seemed to be burning beautifully!
Yuan Yan couldn't help but said, "Isn't the general going to rescue the right battalion?" ”
"I've sent scouts to inform General Wang that it's more important for us to garrison the camp until his order is issued!"
Liu Tai was quite calm, "After all, it is inconvenient for me to act without military orders, and the most important thing to do is to pay attention to military discipline and military orders." It's not good to cause unnecessary trouble if you act without permission! ”
Listening to Liu Tai's natural words, Yuan Yan somewhat understood Liu Tai's attitude.
Going through the procedures in a down-to-earth manner and going through the motions seriously is something that no one can fault in itself.
It's just that people are social in the end, and when a person chooses to do business without any inclination, this in itself shows his own attitude.
Yuan Yan didn't say much, after all, the Huns didn't want to see Liu Tai, isn't this a matter of course.
Since Liu Tai had already reported to Wang Mi that he was ready, it was just time to wait for Wang Mi's order.
Wang Mi's order? Wang Mi saw that there was no disturbance in Liu Cong's middle camp, so he decisively stood by the spot, guarded the barracks and sent the heralds sent by Liu Tai.
Wang Mi watched the herald leave, and then looked at the army that had just been integrated, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tai'er does have a hand in governing the army." ”
"General Huben not only has a hand in governing the army, but is also cautious in doing things!" Changshi Zhang Song looked at Wang Mi and said, "Has the general already integrated the army and not going to rescue the right battalion?!" ”
"The order of the king of Chu has not come, and it is inconvenient for me to carry out the military order.
Now that the army has been purged, I can also send soldiers to report to the King of Chu, and our army will naturally obey the command of the King of Chu! ”
Wang Mi couldn't help but sigh, "After all, we look so similar to the Jin army, what if the Turkic soldiers in the right battalion think that we are the Jin army, or wait a little longer, waiting for the order of the King of Chu!" ”
To tell the truth, it was not once again that the Huns looked down on the Han army, but Liu Tai's army was strong, and he dared to directly use a gun array in the face of Liu Yao, so he earned a mouthful of face.
If Liu Tai didn't do this, but let Liu Yao directly cut off Yuan Yan's head in front of Liu Tai, then Liu Tai's army would have lowered their heads when they saw the Huns.
And the Xiongnu and other ethnic minorities, what they are best at is bullying the good and fearing the evil, as long as they find that you are a soft persimmon, then they will inspire them to want to bully you.
It's like a school bully in the school who picks that kind of soft persimmon pinch, as long as you compromise once, then they will be more and more bold, and even when you resist, it will inspire them to want revenge.
But fight back against them at the beginning, so that these bullies know that you are not easy to mess with, and they will find others to bully them.
And the same is true of the Huns, because they know that Liu Tai's attitude is tough and not easy to provoke, so they decisively put the target of bullying on other Han troops.
Many Han army commanders feel that they have to bow their heads under the eaves, but as long as you endure this kind of thing once, then the other party will continue with you.
Therefore, this time the Xiongnu army and the Han army formed an alliance, commanding the battle under Liu Cong, although the leaders of both sides still maintained peace on the surface, but in private, the low-level soldiers, basically the Han people were bullied by the Huns.
This atmosphere naturally affected Wang Mi's choice, and Wang Mi, like Liu Tai, chose to take the procedure seriously.
The friendly army was attacked not because they wanted to be as immobile as a mountain, but before Liu Cong's order was issued, they could only be immobile like a mountain!
At this moment, Beigong Chun rushed into the right army camp with his Xiliang iron cavalry, which can be described as a no-man's land.
No one expected that Beigong Chun would rush to the camp so generously at dawn.
And the first thing he looked at was Hu Yanyi, who was inspecting the military camp, and when the two sides met, the spear in Beigong Chun's hand was a black tiger digging out the heart, and Hu Yanyi was directly stabbed through with a blow.
Hu Yanyi's eyes widened, and he didn't even dare to imagine that he, the great Sikong of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, would die here like this!
