Gou Xi's anger can be felt most clearly as his younger brother's Gou Chun, or this can be regarded as Gou Xi's hidden worry all along.

Gou Xi was born in a poor family, but he was inspired by the chicken soup such as Huo Quai's "How can the Huns be home" and so on, and naturally his heart is higher than the sky, and he feels that although he is a poor boy, he will continue to work hard to eventually have a day when he will soar, and he has begun not to bully the poor young and the poor......

But the reality is that Huo Dashao is the first gentleman in the Han Wu era, and he has the support of the first person in the world behind him, whether to marry a wife or not Huo Dashao nodded, and the daughter of the family will pick Huo Dashao one by one, but what kind of person are you, do you still want to be a daughter of the family?

When the age passes, you still look poor and sour, don't say that the daughter of the family, even if you are a poor woman, you may not be able to look down on you.

And Gou Xi himself is such a proud person, he can't climb the daughter of a family, he can't marry a poor girl, and ordinary people can't look down on him, so his marriage is naturally delayed. Originally, time passed, and history would not care about such a petty official without a wife.

But history is so unreasonable, but it encountered the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", which is a disaster for the vast majority of people.

At that time, Sima Yue took him as a confidant, and even bowed to him to give him a stage to play.

But he did have quite a good talent as a general to help Sima Yue win the Eight Kings Rebellion, so that he could successfully complete the chicken in the battle royale of the Sima family.

Normally, at this time, Sima Yue passed away to protect the media, and let Gou Xi marry the daughter of the previous family, and basically completely enveloped Gou Xi.

After all, Gou Xi changed jobs in various ways during the Eight Kings Rebellion, but it was Sima Yue who really gave Gou Xi the stage.

And the grace of knowing in this era is really heavy, coupled with the maintenance of personal feelings, there is no room for betrayal by Gou Xi at that time.

But Sima Yue didn't know what to think, his most important reliance was not well maintained, so he listened to Pan Tao's words, and decisively threw Gou Xi to Qingzhou and exiled Gou Xi politically.

It is true that the Qingzhou Assassin History is a great official for some people, but for Gou Xi, who made a name for himself in the Eight Kings Rebellion, this is a manifestation of Sima Yue's abandonment of himself.

Even if Sima Yue put Gou Xi by his side, it was not Liu Cong who besieged Luoyang in the first place, but Gou Xi who killed Liu Cong.

And Sima Yue's behavior gave those families who tended to be inflammatory, that is, even if Gou Xi had a falling out with Sima Yue, and Sima Yue would definitely give up Gou Xi.

As for those upright and upright families, not to mention that for the sake of their own reputation, they must find the right family, Gou Xi, a guy who has been killed all the way from the poor family by meritorious service, has never been their choice.

What are you kidding, what kind of person you are, what kind of person you are, even a butcher is also qualified to take the daughter of the family!

It can be said that Sima Yue's choice of Gou Xi must have Sima Yue's consideration, but in Gou Xi's opinion, his career and life have been hit hard, and it is all done by Sima Yue, who he trusts the most, how sad it is.

At the same time, Gou Xi himself has been in the army all the year round, and he is strict in managing the army, saying that it is indispensable to lead by example, which naturally delays the major events in life.

Of course, having said so many reasons, Gou Xi's biggest problem is that he doesn't have a son, if he had, then naturally there would not be such a passive situation.

Gou Chun thought of his angry brother in his heart, and knew clearly that it was impossible to suppress Gou Xi's anger at this time.

Only he took the initiative to take the lead as a pioneer, let his brother lead the main force to follow, and let his brother calm down through time.

After all, the Lord must not be angry and raise the teacher, and will not be discouraged and cause war, Gou Chun believes that his brother is invincible, but if the strong and invincible brother is angry, he may not expose any weaknesses!

And Liu Tai doesn't care whether his battlefield command ability is strong or not, at least he has the ability to arouse Gou Xi's anger, and in this regard, Liu Tai is quite threatening to Gou Xi.

Therefore, Gou Chun took the initiative to ask Ying, and rode 5,000 in unison as a vanguard to attack Taishan County.

The news of Gou Chun's arrival was soon delivered to Liu Tai, and Liu Tai decisively asked Zhao An to lead the cavalry to take the lead and go to harass and block Gou Chun.

Although he has prepared for war as much as possible, when the real war comes, he needs to order his troops and horses, complete the food reserves, and most importantly, complete the evacuation of the local people before dealing with Gou Xi's army, which will take time to deal with.

These things made Liu Tai send Zhao An's cavalry over to support as soon as possible, the purpose was to stabilize the morale of the front-line soldiers!

Zhao An led the cavalry under Liu Tai to take the lead and soon arrived at Laiwu, but the terrain of Laiwu District, where Laiwu is located, is a semicircular basin with a steep south and a steep north, protruding northward. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the north, east and south, with an open west and a low and undulating middle.

Therefore, it was quite easy for Zhao An to lead the cavalry to this place, but it was not convenient to attack with cavalry in this area.

In other words, the biggest role of horses in this area is to travel, and if you want to play a cavalry charge or something, don't think about it.

However, Zhao An didn't worry too much, because Zhao An understood the quality of his army, and the time for Liu Tai to complete the whole army and then rush over, he only needed to stay here for two days, and believed that Liu Tai would come.

"Tell me how this battle should be fought?!" Zhao An scolded and looked at the commander and the military history under his command, and said,

"Fenggao is not far from here, and the general should be able to assemble a large army to come over in two days at most.

If we defend the city, it will not be difficult to wait for the arrival of the army, but Lao Tzu does not want to be a turtle with a shrunken head! ”

Youtun Chang said: "Zhao Tou, General Liu asked us to come over, not because our cavalry belongs to the mobile standing army, even if it is a holiday, we must report our whereabouts, if we really encounter something, we need to rush to the front line as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army!" ”

Youtun Chang said: "We are cavalry in the end, continue to the north, this terrain is not suitable for our horses." ”

When Zhao An heard this, he also nodded approvingly, "Let's talk about it, is there any good way to disturb Gou Xi's army?" ”

"Zhao Tou, if I make a nuisance, I have an idea." But there is a long road.

"Huh?" When Zhao An heard the words of the chief, he was more or less curious in his heart.

The commander said: "Let our team of 100 people harass them with the help of the familiarity of the terrain."

It is not an ambush, nor a war of annihilation, or relying on a small number of people to occupy a favorable terrain, and retreat when they fight a wave, or even just shoot a wave of arrows and retreat, it is pure disgust to them. ”

Another Tun Chang said, "We are familiar with the terrain and have horses, if it is not for the sake of harvesting, but purely for disgusting people, I don't know if the pioneers sent by Gou Xi will suffer, but we should not suffer!" ”

Zhao An listened to everyone's words and thought about it, Zhao An was not a genius general, so he was better at archery.

followed Liu Tai all the way, compared to Liu Tai, Zhao An thought that he had no talent to lead the troops.

Therefore, it is easier for him to listen to the summary ideas of the soldiers under his command than other generals.

For Zhao An, he only felt that he had come and gone, and as a result, all the cavalry were trapped in the city, which was the operation of cerebral palsy.

But if he wanted to use cavalry in this hilly area, Zhao An didn't know how to use it.

Now hearing the words of these tun chiefs, you are the same as me, Zhao An spoke:

"At most, only five hundred-man teams will be sent to harass each other, and the locals of Taishan County will be given priority among the hundred-man teams.

Remember, your mission is only to disgust and harass these Gou Xi's vanguards, but don't rush forward desperately! ”

"Zhao Tou, since we followed you on the horse, we have fought a frontal war, who would be so desperate, don't they all take advantage of it, and run away if it is not cheap!" When the chiefs heard Zhao An's words, they did not hesitate to debunk it.

", what's the matter, this is a reasonable use of its own advantages!" Zhao An said impatiently, and then said,

"I will select five teams of 100 people, each team of 100 people will bring three days of food, no matter what your results are in these three days, all of them will come back to me, and the situation of Gou Xi's army needs to be reported by you!"

"Obey!" Hearing Zhao An's words, these tun chiefs and military historians gave an affirmative answer to Zhao An.

Soon, Zhao An himself was stationed in Laiwu City and began to mobilize local county soldiers to build defenses, but sent five hundred-man teams to delay Gou Chun's troops.

At this moment, Zhao An did not have many soldiers directly under him, and there were only 500 people left, but after Zhao An showed his attitude that he needed manpower to build the local city defense, the local people still came over to Zhao An quite enthusiastically.

To be honest, this scene made Zhao An a little stunned, all the time, the people in the city are basically in a state of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

No matter who came to attack the city, most of them were sitting on turtles with shrunken heads, and they didn't care about the king's banner that changed at the head of the city.

After all, the thieves will rob them when they come, and the officials and soldiers will rob them when they come, and they are even willing to choose to hide in the mountains rather than participate in such a war.

But this time, when he organized the county soldiers to defend, not to mention that he took the initiative to carry the materials, and even the old man came to deliver food, and the woman came to deliver water, and Zhao An was incredible.

Zhao An grabbed an old man with a somewhat incomprehensible mood and said,

"Old man, I've been in the army for several years, but it's the first time I've seen civilians who took the initiative to bring water and food to the soldiers defending the city?"

The old man looked at Zhao An tremblingly, and then said in a panic, "The old man doesn't dare to hide the general, he is the son of the old man, and the rest of the people are also villagers from the same village as the old man, so they are afraid that they will have no food to eat in the war, so they have the courage to send this meal." ”

"......" Zhao An listened to the old man's words, and suddenly felt as if he was a clown, but he continued with a fixed mind:

"Even though you are here to deliver food to your son, the people in the small city of Laiwu seem to be particularly friendly to the soldiers stationed in the county, do you know the reason?"

"Oh...... These county soldiers are all our locals, thanks to the gift of General Liu, but also given the cultivation of the field, become a good family, this is the opportunity for us to gain a foothold in the local area.

Now resist Gou Xi's wicked people who are ready to take my land, how dare they not do their best! ”

The old man said hoarsely, and then knelt down at this time and said,

"It's just that I'm on the battlefield, and I ask the general to mention my child, but the little old man is kowtowing to you here!"

"Get up, get up!" Zhao An replied to the old man, "I'll do my best!" ”

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" The old man thanked Zhao An again and again, but he was indescribably humble.

At this time, Zhao An discovered that the county soldiers in Laiwu, a city, were basically Taishan soldiers who had already obtained land locally, and they should theoretically be the most resistant to Liu Tai.

But the problem is that Liu Tai drove out the local wealthy scholars, and then took out the land of the wealthy scholars and distributed it to them, so that they completed the class leap from the original hooligan class to become a good family with land and land.

At this moment, Gou Xi is attacking with the army, but in fact, the person who is really most worried is not Liu Tai.

Because Liu Tai has nothing to worry about, his task is only to be responsible for blocking Gou Xi, if he really fails, as long as he can escape back to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, Liu Tai can still be his tiger general.

What is called someone in the court, what is called background, what is called trial and error cost, it is Liu Tai's kind of person.

But what about the ordinary people who managed to get their hands on the fields?

If Liu Tai fails, those families and wealthy families who were driven out of Mount Tai by Liu Tai will come back, without the guarantee of Liu Tai's force, can they still keep the land they get!?

I could be blind for the rest of my life, but I would never allow myself to have only three days of light.

But the local people really got the land, and it was a field that could be inherited as long as Liu Tai was a soldier.

This made each of them willing to go to the soup for Liu Tai, and was willing to fight any enemy for the field in their hands.

As long as Liu Tai is willing to lead them, they can transform from silent lambs into vicious dogs guarding their territory.

In particular, Liu Tai openly advertised in the army that the sons and daughters of non-commissioned officers could enter the Mongolian school specially established by Liu Tai.

Establishing a channel through which they could communicate directly with Liu Tai through their children in addition to the channel through which they could communicate directly with Liu Tai made the sergeants even more convinced that Liu Tai valued them.

At this moment, they want to keep the current Mount Tai and the fields in their hands.

This is also Liu Tai's construction and attempt of the local government military system.

The government military system is the most suitable system for this era, which has been proven by history, and Liu Tai does not want to go against the laws of history.

However, under the government military system, it is actually difficult to cultivate the military discipline of the soldiers.

Even with Li Shimin's prestige, if you want to curb their greed, you need to take out your own private wealth.

This is again difficult for Liu Tai to accept.

Therefore, Liu Tai wanted to form the soldiers of the government military system into county soldiers to maintain the local county, and even further subdivide them in the future.

In this way, they are willing to at least do their part to protect the local area, especially in wartime, when their hometown is threatened, their land will be seized, then under the government military system, they are absolutely willing to fight any enemy for their hometown and fields.

It's just that this kind of system is naturally a good system in troubled times, but as long as there is no war to fight, I am afraid that it will become a factor of local instability.

But at least looking at their enthusiasm to resist Gou Xi now, it still shows that Liu Tai's efforts in Taishan County in the past few months have not been in vain, and the local people and Liu Tai's rule itself have become stronger under Gou Xi's tempering!
