Liu Tai said goodbye to Shi Le and divided into two armies, Shi Le went to invade the south of Sizhou, and joined Liu Cong, Wang Mi and others along the way to complete the siege of Luoyang.

Liu Tai led the army through Jibei and arrived at Taishan County.

In fact, it is not difficult to reach Taishan County or occupy Taishan County.

The Jin court's government was corrupt, and unless there were warlords who wanted to divide the country, it was almost inevitable that the Jin court's army would erode from top to bottom.

In a way, it's an indescribable irony.

Therefore, even if they defended the city, in fact, after the soldiers under Liu Tai's command killed the city, they didn't have time to draw their swords to kill, and these local county soldiers directly collapsed, but it made the troops who first took out their swords and looked around at a loss.

The occupation of Taishan County is basically me coming, I conquer, and there is not much skill in crushing it with pure hard power.

Liu Tai looked at the Taishan County he had won, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

It is easy to take Taishan County, but Taishan County will become a base for attacking Qingzhou for a long time in the future.

Entrenched in Gou Xi, Qingzhou, the name of the person is a shadow, although he does not think that he will be undefeated, but at least his undefeated golden body is not defeated before it is defeated, it is quite difficult to deal with.

Compared with taking the army into the country recklessly, Liu Tai is more inclined to operate in Taishan County to a certain extent, find the right opportunity and then make a move.

Moreover, the task given to by the Xiongnu Han State was only to block Gou Xi, not defeat Gou Xi.

Therefore, occupying Taishan County for operation may be more important than directly sending troops to Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Tai said to Chu Yu, "Mr. Chu, do you know how to read astronomy?" ”

"This and this...... Not involved! Chu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Liu Tai's words, but he still said to Liu Tai, "General, what do you want to do?" ”

"It's nothing, just to see if it's going to rain today." Liu Tai replied to Chu Yu.

Chu Yi raised his head to look at the clear sky above his head, and said, "This weather doesn't look like it's going to rain!" ”

"I see, let the army enter Fenggao City!" Liu Tai continued,

"Tell your soldiers that we are not here to destroy this city, we are here to liberate it.

After entering the city and occupying the arsenal and granary, it is forbidden to plunder the people, to commit adultery with women, or to kill people and set fires.

Tonight the whole army slept with me on the street, and they should have set up their tents and tents.

If I find anyone persecuting the people of the city, they will be dealt with according to military law. ”

"This ...... It's not good! Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words and said, "I'm afraid this will lead to a mutiny!" ”

Liu Tai said to Chu Yi without hesitation:

"I have emphasized the discipline of the army for so long, and if they still enter Fenggao, they will only know how to plunder.

Then what kind of military history do I have, what military discipline do I emphasize, and what is the purpose of the training of new recruits and soldiers in the past few months! ”

And with Liu Tai's order, after the army entered the city and occupied the arsenal and granary, it did not break down and loot the people in Fenggao City.

Although Liu Tai's order did not follow the rules, after all, Fenggao did not surrender without a fight, and it should have been plundered by the soldiers.

But even so, the soldiers still carried out the order, but one by one there were many discussions, and some of the soldiers were unstable.

Liu Tai entered Fenggao City, and he really did not allow the soldiers to loot at all, which still had a great impact on the morale of the army.

If it weren't for Liu Tai's previous winter in the rectification movement, which gave the soldiers a lot of the stinky problems of the old military law, and established a little trust with the soldiers, such a move would have caused riots.

Even so, Liu Ming, Zhao An, Ge Xin, Zhou Ping and Tian Yu also took the initiative to find them, and they all wanted to speak and stopped.

Obviously, as the five commanders under Liu Tai, they naturally knew the complaints of the soldiers below.

Although it is said that Liu Tai's spiritual cleanliness cannot be wrong.

But even if Liu Tai is a commander who convinces the soldiers, he really can't let the soldiers take nothing after the siege.

Soldiers are fighting with you, at least not for three meals now!

Although everyone thinks that Huo Qubing is like Huo Quai, a natural general, but behind Huo Qubing there is a Han Wu Emperor who spent the country poor, and not all of the main wealth has been smashed on the soldiers.

Otherwise, with Huo Dashao's way of leading troops, there is no sufficient military merit system to support it, how can he take the lives of the soldiers!

But you didn't, if you plan to learn Huo Dashao's way and ignore the needs of the soldiers, then you will really mutiny!

Even if you want to revive the Han family, you can do without wealth, but the soldiers below can't do it, you can't use the requirements of the saints to ask the soldiers!

So Liu Tai's order was carried out, but the soldiers below also immediately fed back the problem to their own commanders, and then to these captains, who didn't come to Liu Tai immediately, but they were also looking forward to Liu Tai's reply.

"Sit down, I know what everyone means!" Liu Tai looked at everyone and couldn't help but say calmly.

Obviously, although they were puzzled, they still carried out the order, which is very important.

But with the reactions of the soldiers below, in the end, he couldn't help it, and came to Liu Tai to solve his doubts.

After all, in any case, it is necessary to give the following a reasonable reason, and even to safeguard the interests of the soldiers, which is the foundation of oneself and others.

It's not that there is no wonder of cutting off the foundation of oneself, but if everyone can do this, then the world will have a great society.

Everyone looked at Liu Tai's appearance, clearly knew that Liu Tai was not crazy, and also listened to Liu Tai's orders and sat down one by one.

It is not only them who also came, but also several military historians such as Xi Zhubo, after all, they are also needed to do the whole army's thinking.

Liu Taidao: "First of all, Taishan County is a little different from the cities we attacked before.

Because this place will become the foundation for us to deal with Gou Xi in Qingzhou, so don't rob the people of Taishan County at every turn.

We want to establish contact with the local people, so that the local people can trust us and become our people! ”

When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they also understood what Liu Tai meant.

After all, it is Gou Xi who needs to be faced in the future, no matter what, if the foundation here is laid, even if it can't be defeated in the future, at least there is a way out.

To be honest, this reason was enough to appease the soldiers.

But Liu Tai also understands that the army is his foundation, the people are his dependence, and the relationship between the two must be handled well.

If it is not handled well, Liu Tai believes that if Gou Xi fights, then he can't guarantee that he will be able to win the other party.

So Liu Tai continued, "You say, if Gou Xi calls next, then who will he contact!" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and the last gaze fell on Chu Yi's body, and the others didn't know!

The corners of Chu Yu's mouth twitched, feeling that he was not completely dependent on Liu Tai, but he still said to Liu Tai:

"With Gou Xi's character, he may not be able to contact anyone, but relying on the entire Western Jin Dynasty, at least the wealthy families of Taishan County believe that they are happy to cooperate with Gou Xi to drive us out.

After all, these guys can't fight head-on, but they're happy to do things like sneaking a door open or burning down our granaries to cause chaos. ”

There is no way, now the Jin court looks like the sun is twilight, and although Liu Tai has not really become a prince, it seems that he has a lot to do, and Chu Yu is more or less willing to help Liu Tai.

Because with Chu Yu's eyes, it can also be seen that unless there is a major change in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, the Xiongnu Han State is now occupying the strategic initiative.

The Jin court seems to be powerful, but in fact, the whole operation is quite rigid, I am afraid that when Luoyang is breached, the assassins in various places will rebel, and then they will fall into the situation of the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Tai jumped out of the fence of Pingyang, at least compared to Wang Mi, Chu Yu felt that Liu Tai was more likely to become a prince, because if Liu Yuan died, it would be a heavy blow to the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

It's just that thinking that his position is slowly biased towards Liu Tai, Chu Yi can't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

I don't want to betray myself, Jin Ting, you give me a little strength, don't send it again!

"Therefore, within Taishan County, we must distinguish who is our friend and who is our enemy!"

Liu Tai said solemnly, "There is something on the people's bodies, and there is nothing on the people!"

What are we plundering them for, they have no money, they have no land?!

Is the purpose of our anti-Jin and Han Dynasty to bully these weak people, then why don't we be thieves! ”

"Actually, aren't we thieves!" Liu Ming and the others couldn't help muttering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

"So, give me an honest sleep on the streets of Taishan County.

Then tomorrow I will send people to find out the local people, and find out which family is bullying men and women, which family embezzles land, and which family is rich and unkind!

Let the people of Taishan County believe in us, and even attach themselves to us, and then we will follow the list given by these people to raid the rich families.

They have money in their families, and they have grain in their warehouses, and if they get the land and are willing to start a family in Taishan County, I will immediately divide the land among them.

In short, don't give me to keep my eyes on the people, tell the soldiers to keep their eyes on our enemies.

The people are our dependence, and they will become our ears and eyes in Mount Tai in the future! Liu Tai said solemnly.

"The general is going to do something to the local families and wealthy families in Taishan?!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

"In the face of Gou Xi, we must be fully prepared, not to be able to defeat him, but at least to make the opponent unable to find any gap to attack us!

Therefore, all the unstable factors in my jurisdiction, I must solve them! ”

Liu Tai cut the railway, "And those wealthy families who are traitors in Taishan are our biggest weakness!" ”

Sometimes, it is necessary to come up with enough threats so that Chu Yi can be given a reasonable explanation.

After all, Liu Tai doesn't want to dispose of all the local families, but there is a high probability that they will collude with Gou Xi!

Gou Xi, such a fierce man, how terrifying it is, at least you know better than yourself.

In such a situation, in order to stop him, what is the problem of solving these unstable factors of the local wealthy family first.

Of course, compared to the need to give Chu Yi a reasonable reason to solve the local family, but for Liu Ming, Tian Yu, Ge Xin and others, it is much simpler.

It's not that they are not ready to loot Mount Tai, but they are only prepared to loot Mount Tai for evil.

Therefore, today we need the soldiers to sleep on the continent of Fenggao, and we need to show the sincerity of themselves and others to the people of Fenggao.

We need to let them understand that they and others are really the kings who are the kings of the people of the world who oppose the Jin Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty, and the kings who are the masters for them!

With Liu Tai's words, Tian Yu, Liu Ming and the others glanced at each other, and always felt that the general was still the same general, although many of his behaviors were incomprehensible, but at least he understood what the lower-level soldiers needed, and he would not give orders indiscriminately.

Liu Tai saw that he had already explained the soldiers, so he turned his head to look at the military history of Master Xi and said to them:

"The ideological work of the soldiers needs to be handed over to you, so that they know that we are not robbers who plunder the people, but kings who punish evil and promote good.

If the Taishan family is really a good party and is loved by the local people, then we will naturally have no offense.

But they don't even let go of the people in their hometown, so don't blame us for doing the right thing for heaven! ”

When Xi Zhubo and the others heard Liu Tai's words, the military histories glanced at each other, but they also nodded.

After completing the unification of the ideology of the upper echelons, whether it was the captain, the commander, or even the military historians, they all took the initiative to appease the soldiers, so that they could sleep smoothly on the avenue of Fenggao.

In fact, many times, the army does not need a reason to carry out orders, because all the army needs is to carry it out.

But the army led by Liu Tai was different, because Liu Tai wanted to give the army ideas and let them know what they were fighting for and why they were dying.

Therefore, many things that the old-fashioned army has not done before, and let the soldiers do it, it is necessary to explain this matter clearly, so that every soldier knows that what he does is not done with a pat on the head!

Thought is a weapon that arms soldiers, but an army with ideas sometimes has a certain amount of backlash.

Therefore, Liu Tai knew that his character could not collapse, if his own character collapsed, and a thinking army would fight back, Liu Tai would not dare to think about that picture.

After explaining the matter, the soldiers began to sleep on the streets with peace of mind, but Liu Tai and his own personal guards were personally responsible for the guard.

In addition to Liu Tai's personal energy, even if something really happens, Liu Tai can also deal with it in time.

From the time I entered the high fortress to the next day, the sun slowly rose on the ground, and the night passed peacefully.

When the people of Fenggao secretly looked at Liu Tai's army on the street through the door, they found that

The rising sun shone on the faces of the warriors, who slept so peacefully at their doorstep.

There is no plundering of the people, no soldiers are like combs!

Liu Tai patiently waited for the sun to rise, watching that the sun really rose, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

The most difficult step has been taken, and the next step is to start agitating the local people to "fight local tyrants and divide the land"!
