Chapter Forty-Nine: Rescuing Shiler
Liu Tai's main job in the past few days is to guide the soldiers to discuss this war, what methods can be used to save more effort on the road, what ways to protect themselves more when fighting, and what methods are better to deal with the enemy encountered this time.
In Liu Tai's view, the experience of soldiers living and dying on the battlefield is the most valuable, and if it can be condensed into a few simple sentences, then it can be regarded as the outline of the "Battlefield Manual" in this era.
Of course, in addition to the words written in the first edition sent by these chiefs, the more troublesome thing is that it is full of all kinds of meaningless words such as "I am looking for ......", "just ......like this", "brushing and brushing......".
Integrating the post-war harvest of the soldiers of the entire military camp is not only a very hard errand for the commanders, but also a very hard errand for the military historians.
In the end, according to Liu Tai's request, these contents were finally compressed into almost a dozen outlines, so that the recruits could know at a glance.
When the recruits come, let them recite these theses first, and in the future, they will be able to integrate and integrate on the battlefield in the future, and they will naturally be able to save their lives.
All in all, Liu Tai was even busier when he returned to Binh Duong than when he was on the battlefield.
It's just that in terms of a sense of crisis, at least in Pingyang, there is no need to worry about who will attack directly, and psychologically it is a lot more relaxed.
However, Liu Tai knew very well that since he had eaten this mouthful of food, he naturally had to be prepared at all times, and after letting the soldiers relax for a week, they would soon retrain after writing a report.
After all, between life and death, only the hard work brought by sweat is the thing that you can rely on the most.
And in fact, the entire Hun Han was also in a mess at this time.
Because not only Liu Cong's attack was unfavorable to Luoyang, but he was chased and killed by the enemy.
Soon after, even if Shi Le led his troops to attack Youzhou, he was defeated by generals such as Qi Hong, Xianbei, Duan Wuchen and other generals sent by Wang Jun in Feilong Mountain, losing more than 10,000 soldiers, and counties such as Changshan and Handan were even more lost.
Wang Mi could only retreat to defend Liyang County, Wei County (maybe there will be a Liyang County in the future), and reorganize the soldiers to resist.
And this is naturally a considerable turmoil for Yecheng.
It can be said that the national fortunes of the entire Xiongnu and Han kingdoms suffered considerable losses after winning the battle of Changping in the Han and Jin dynasties.
The strategy wants to attack in two ways, and both of them fly together, and as a result, both wings are almost broken.
Of course, all this is nothing to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, the real problem is that Liu Yuan's body is not as good as day by day!
This is what Liu Cong meant when he came back and saw that Shi Le was so badly injured, and he didn't want to save Shi Le.
After all, Liu Cong was afraid that he would go out on the front foot, and Liu Yuan would die on the back foot.
When the time comes, when the political heritage is divided, there is no oneself, will the relatives of these clans present, and even Liu He himself, leave a share for themselves? I'm afraid they're not thinking about how to eat their share!
So if Liu Cong didn't see Liu Yuan's breath, he would definitely not leave.
In such a situation, Schler's letter for help should be regarded as if he had not seen it.
However, the news of Shi Le's defeat was naturally clear to Wang Mi, and he had been waiting for this news.
After all, Wang Jun has always been pressing Shi Le to fight, so it is too normal for Shi Le to be defeated by Wang Jun.
Therefore, Wang Mi stood up decisively and said, "I am willing to ask the army to go to the rescue of General Shile." ”
Liu Cong couldn't help but be happy when he heard Wang Mi's words, no matter what, it was a good thing that Wang Mi wanted to go to the rescue.
After all, Shi Le's letters for help came, and as a result, the Xiongnu and Han States didn't even send anyone over, so it didn't seem to have given up on Shi Le!
"No!" Liu Yuan said in a slightly weakened voice, "Cong'er's attack on Luoyang failed, and it is necessary for brave veterans like the general to suppress the formation to avoid any chaos in the army, and Cong'er will need the general to attack Luoyang in the future!" ”
Although Liu Yuan's body is dying, his IQ is still normal.
He knows very well that Shi Le is completely different from Wang Mi, Shi Le was born in the Shi Le tribe, which is destined to have a shallow foundation, even if the lack of reinforcements this time becomes a temporary trouble, but he can still slowly figure it out.
But if Wang Mi is released, with the blessing of the Han ethnic identity, just look at Wang Jun, who has become more and more independent in Youzhou, you can know that Wang Mi will definitely become an independent warlord, not to mention that the tail is not big, and it is also possible to swallow himself and others.
After all, I and Wang Mi have known each other since they were young, such an indomitable gangster, not to be underestimated!
Wang Mi didn't expect that Liu Yuan didn't seem to have much energy, and he didn't let himself go, so he couldn't help but say:
"Now Luoyang is difficult to attack, because there is a continuous supply of food resources around the Great Jin.
I think that after the rescue of Shile this time, I did not attack Youzhou first, but attacked Jizhou first, and then crossed the Yellow River, whether it was to invade Yunzhou or enter Qingxu, it was an important way to cut off Luoyang's food, and I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”
To be honest, Wang Mi didn't recommend himself, but after the problem crossed the north of the Yellow River, Wang Mi had always been there all the way, and in such a situation, the Xiongnu and Han sent him forward, which was the most critical.
After all, who else is familiar with that environment besides himself, and who else can be vertical and horizontal besides himself.
I have to say that such a reasonable statement, even Liu Yuan can't think of any reason to refuse in a short time.
Therefore, Liu Yuan looked at Liu Cong and asked Liu Cong to bring this back to him.
Liu Cong can feel the pressure of his father, to be honest, although Liu Cong is talented and intelligent, he really hasn't reached the point of Liu Yuan.
But he knew very well that the sooner his father died, the more he couldn't lose points, so he thought urgently:
"This expedition to Luoyang made the child know that he had shortcomings, and he really needed the support of General Wang Mi.
It is better to order the tiger general Liu Tai to be another department, lead the army to rescue Shile, and the two of them work together to capture Jizhou, and then talk about other things! ”
"Tiger General Liu Tai?!" Liu Yuan didn't expect Liu Cong to make such a suggestion.
And Liu Cong's head was becoming more and more sober at the moment, and he felt applauded for his sudden eagerness, and continued:
"Although General Liu Tai is not very old, no matter how he captures Yecheng, the Battle of Changping shows the demeanor of a famous general, this time he is making meritorious deeds, and he is the son of Liu Bogen in Qingzhou, if you need to attack Qingxu in the future, you can also let him attack it!"
"I remembered, after King Chengyang!" Liu Yuan also thought about it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Midao, "Aiqing, what do you think, how about the assistance of General Hu Ben." ”
"How I look, how can I see!" Wang Mi muttered in his heart, but he could only nod and say, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
To tell the truth, in Wang Mi's heart, Liu Tai, the nephew who was raised by himself, came to save his nephew as soon as he encountered danger, so naturally he would not have any doubts, to some extent, this is the second best choice.
It's just that his purpose has not been communicated to Liu Tai in the end, and this time he wants to communicate with Liu Tai when he goes back, don't be stupid and use Shi Le as a knife.
Therefore, Wang Mi also said to Liu Yuan: "The little nephew is a little arrogant because of his military exploits.
Please also ask Your Majesty to allow the little nephew to have the right to self-determination, otherwise he has been under General Shile for a long time, and I am afraid that he will have a quarrel with General Shile! ”
Liu Yuanting heard Shi Le's words and also understood that Wang Mi was talking to him about the conditions, but after thinking about it, Wang Mi's worries were also right.
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 winning, and the other is losing and losing.
If it weren't for the fact that Shile always lost, but the main force of the Qiang tribe did not suffer any heavy losses, I am afraid that Shile would have disappeared long ago.
But no matter what, the current Shile can't suppress Liu Tai, so it is better to grant Liu Tai the right to make his own decisions.
So Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The general considered it exactly, so he gave General Huben the right to make decisions on his own army." ”
When Wang Mi heard this, he was also relieved, at least Wang Mi believed that with Liu Tai's military strength, under the condition of having the right to decide, even if he wanted Liu Tai to die, it would not be an easy task.
After all, when he was so young, Liu Tai's whole family died, only Liu Tai ran out by himself, and now he shows extraordinary military talent, and it can be seen from these places that this kid's life is very hard.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Mi bowed quite thankfully this time.
At this time, Liu Tai was still in his own military camp and began to study with Chu Yu about the army's acquisition of supplies.
"This time, the soldiers were full of goods, and if they were attacked by the enemy, the soldiers were afraid of the goods in their hands and did not dare to fight to the death with the enemy.
This time, it was Liu Jing who blocked the disaster for us, otherwise even if it were me, I am afraid that I would not be able to cope with the cavalry chased by the Sima clan! ”
Liu Tai couldn't help but feel nostalgic when he said this, "In retrospect, the situation is still too dangerous!" ”
"Soldiers fight for wealth, this is really a simple truth!" Chu Yu said to Liu Tai, "If the general wants them not to love money, this is too unrealistic." ”
"Not really!" "I mean, can we come up with a way, or a system, for them to put the loot in a public place first."
At least so that they will not be attacked by the enemy while marching, causing them to be afraid of the loot and affect the battle! ”
Thinking of this, Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how good it would be if there was electronic money like modern times, how much they looted, and they bought it directly with money.
On the battlefield, there are three out and thirty returns, and these things looted on the battlefield will be full of the difference if they go around in their hands.
After all, Liu Tai also saw that many luxury goods captured on the battlefield were really unpriced.
Especially for many big-headed soldiers, they don't know them at all, a lot of luxuries.
But what is made of gold or silver, they do not hesitate to bite it with their teeth, and through this rather simple way of distinguishing between the real and the fake, they know the value of these natural currencies.
"It's good to just concentrate their supplies, but the question is whether the soldiers are willing to hand them over!"
Chu Yu opened his mouth and said, "At least for the soldiers, these are related to their net worth and lives. If there's really a way for him to hand it over......"
At this time, Chu Yu couldn't help but look at Liu Tai's body.
"What do you watch me do?!" Liu Tai couldn't help but look at Chu Yu's gaze towards him.
"The general is up to you!" Chu Yu said, "If the soldiers have someone to trust, I'm afraid it's only you."
Unless you pledge it, I can't think of any of the soldiers willing to take their own spoils! ”
"Me? As a guarantee!? Liu Tai couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Chu Yi thought that Liu Tai was embarrassed, and said, "If the general is unwilling......
"Nope! I do! Liu Tai said decisively.
To be honest, Liu Tai's hesitation just now was entirely because he thought of a modern sentence: "The one who owes money is the uncle!" ”
In the past, he led the troops to stay honestly and did not involve gold and silver goods, and in such a situation, a lot of modern financial knowledge has no room for use.
But now that I have begun to owe money, some modern superficial financial knowledge can also be useful.
After all, finance starts with owing money.
Liu Tai thought of this and said to Chu Yu, "Mr. Chu, you come to help pay attention, if the soldiers go out to trade and seize the goods in their hands these days, you can help inquire about the prices of the items sold by the soldiers."
In addition, in the future, there will be a lot of high-grade paper in the ninth battalion of the army, so that I can make IOUs when I collect items from the soldiers in the future! ”
"Oh?" Chu Yu was a little surprised when he heard Liu Tai's words, but he didn't expect Liu Tai to really plan to put his reputation up.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu felt that Liu Tai was quite a responsible person, and nodded and said, "Chu Yu takes the order." ”
"By the way, it's best to help find out if there is a local mayor or something, I'm going to buy some daily necessities, and I'll help ask about the price." Liu Tai said quite seriously to Chu Yu.
In terms of military affairs, he still needs a little bit of accumulation, but in terms of economic matters, after Liu Tai figured it out, he soon found that as the commander of the first army, he was completely able to become a second-class dealer in the face of looted materials.
In the same way, you can buy a large number of merchants' products from the soldiers and sell them to your subordinates when needed.
When Liu Tai thought of this, he couldn't help patting his head, and he only hated himself for thinking of this now.
After thinking about it again, I was only a few hundred people at the beginning, and I couldn't support a market at all.
But now it is different, the number of soldiers has reached 3,000, and these 3,000 people can even support the economic self-circulation of a small village.
Naturally, it was of course different from myself with hundreds of people at that time, and it was such a large scale, so I would think of the corresponding problem at this moment.
Just when Liu Tai was thinking about whether he would go to Wang Zhang to establish the corresponding channel or establish the shipping channel by himself, he didn't expect Wang Zhang to come to him first.
