Chapter 100: Liu Cong's Choice

The news of Wang Mi's death was that Shi Le took the initiative to write to Liu Cong, saying that Wang Mi rebelled and it was reasonable to kill him himself.

Of course, whether it is a loyal minister or not is naturally another matter, but no matter what, now Shi Le is still willing to be on the table, which shows that Shi Le is still willing to mix in the Xiongnu and Han countries.

If the Xiongnu Han State is not sure to take down Shile, then it is better to calm the matter, after all, Wang Mi is dead!

And after Shi Le's letter was delivered, Liu Cong was furious in his heart and couldn't help but say:

"Wang Mi's meritorious officers are all bigger than Shi Le, even if Wang Mi really rebelled, what qualifications did he have to kill Wang Mi directly."

Of course, the most important thing is that the situation of the entire Xiongnu Han Kingdom was originally good, Liu Yao represented the Xiongnu clan, Wang Mi represented the Han forces, and Shi Le represented the other miscellaneous Hu, under these three checks and balances, Liu Cong could smoothly balance the power of the generals.

But now he has just taken Luoyang, and as a result, Wang Mi died, and even if Shi Le did not rebel, at least he was divided.

This directly caused an imbalance in the strength of the entire internal army, and the most important of them was the imbalance in the strength of the Han people.

Dazai Liu Yannian came out and said: "Your Majesty is angry, now Wang Mi's mistake has been completed, and it has brought us considerable trouble.

Now there are two things that must be dealt with, one is to decide whether Shi Le is punished or appeased, and the other is how to appease Wang Mi's old department.

Whether it is Liu Tai in Qingzhou or Wang Sang Li Gu in Yecheng, these people are all important ministers of the country with heavy troops.

If we can't be appeased, I'm afraid that the land we have managed to defeat will surely change forever! ”

Hearing Liu Yannian's words, Liu Cong couldn't help but press his head, if there was no Liu Tai, although Wang Mi's current subordinates were brave, but there was no leader, the snake could not be without a head, and this group of people would be even more stinky fish and shrimp.

But with Liu Tai, it was different, Liu Tai recaptured Qingzhou, and most of the people who rebelled with Wang Mi were Qingzhou people.

Now that Wang Mi has been killed by Shi Le, it will inevitably cause panic among Wang Mi's original subordinates.

If you are not loyal to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, you may go to the Jin court, and if there are still people who are loyal to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, I am afraid that you will also vote for Liu Tai.

Originally, he wanted to recruit Liu Tai to the capital, but now that Wang Mi is dead, I don't have to think about this idea.

When Liu Cong thought of this, he really wanted to strangle Shi Le to death.

But Liu Congmingbai, if he and Shi Le clash again at this time, no matter whether they win or lose, at least the entire Xiongnu Han Kingdom will fall apart completely.

So Liu Cong took a deep breath and said, "Send an envoy to appease Liu Tai to congratulate Liu Tai on his meritorious service in capturing Qingzhou, and grant the governor of Donglai County, Qingxu and Ji, the three states of war!"

As for Shi Le, he stabbed Wang Mi, and there must be a gap with the soldiers under Wang Mi, and he matched it first! ”

Liu Cong decided to deal with this matter coldly for the time being.

Because for Liu Cong, Shi Le and Liu Tai have really become enemies of life and death, so he is not worried.

At that time, Shile has developed, and he can completely use Liu Tai to balance Shile.

Of course, if Liu Tai deviated from the Xiongnu Han Kingdom because of Wang Mi's death, he could also use Shile to balance Liu Tai.

Because Shi Le's background is low and Liu Tai's background is high, Liu Tai entered the genealogy of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom in the end.

Secondly, Liu Tai has never lost a war so far, which is too young for a person who is only sixteen years old now, and has only just stepped onto the political stage in theory.

For anyone who has reached an age, they are not afraid of the opponent's amazing strength, but they are afraid of the opponent's youth.

Then Liu Cong was actually quite afraid that Liu Tai would lose his mind, so he fought directly with Shi Le, and the Xiongnu Han Kingdom was afraid that it would fall apart.

In such a situation, Liu Cong felt that it was more likely to use Shile to balance Liu Tai.

Liu Cong did have fears when facing Shi Le, but he didn't have any fear.

But now, with the sudden fall of Wang Mi and the sudden loss of Wang Mi's protective umbrella, Liu Cong suddenly found that Liu Tai, who became a thorn in history at the age of sixteen, was too young.

I can still balance Liu Tai, but can my own son really be able to?!

What is more important is that it is a troubled time, and the most important thing in the troubled times is the strength of war.

And Liu Tai almost stepped on the Western Jin Dynasty generals step by step along the way, and even Gou Xi was defeated by Liu Tai.

With such a gold content, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Jin Court would dare to underestimate this heroic guy!

Therefore, even if Shi Le killed Wang Mi, this is not Wang Mi's rebellion and Wang Mi's handwritten letter, even if it was Shi Le, but at least it is a statement.

In this case, if you take advantage of the situation and let Liu Tai hate Shi Le, then for yourself, Wang Mi's death may not be a good thing.

After all, Wang Mi himself really can't control it, but Liu Tai has not yet shown the corresponding political literacy.

But Liu Tai, a young man, can't be more difficult than Shi Ledu!

As Liu Cong made this decision, Shi Le, who had received the holy decree, finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he had passed this level.

However, at this time, Shile did not want to go north for the time being, because now the persecution in the north is serious, and Shile knows that even if he goes north, he is afraid that he will not get any benefits.

And more importantly, Liu Tai is at a distance from himself, if he really returns to Jizhou now, then Liu Tai can't help but fight directly with him!

Shi Le didn't really want to admit it, but it was impossible to say that he was not a little frightened in his heart in the face of Liu Tairuo.

After all, Liu Tai has fought many wars with Shi Le, as his comrade-in-arms, as long as Liu Tai is in charge, he doesn't need to worry, but now that Liu Tai has become an opponent, Shi Le has to admit that he needs to breathe a sigh of relief.

At least Liu Cong was concerned about the stability of the entire Xiongnu Han Kingdom and chose to appease himself, but it was also because of this that he needed to face Liu Tai.

Therefore, Shi Le decided to go south temporarily and continue to coerce Sima Rui, the main purpose was not to attack Sima Rui, but to be patient and see what decision Liu Tai made when he heard the news of Wang Mi's death.

According to Liu Tai's decision, he will make an appropriate response and take the initiative later.

Otherwise, if he made any action, Liu Tai pounced on him like a nervous disorder, and it would be useless no matter how good his original plan was.

Liu Tai and Cao Wei waited patiently in Qingzhou, and began to deal with government affairs and public security issues.

As the weather became colder day by day, Liu Tai began to continue to arrange things for the people to do their work.

It is impossible to let the people come out to build roads, not that Liu Tai doesn't want to do this, but because there are not enough tools and not enough protective clothing in this weather, let the people come out to work, and they will die directly in winter.

Therefore, Liu Tai gathered the villages and villages together, so as to reduce the cost of winter welfare.

At the same time, while distributing work to these people, they also made arrows, made accessories, and woven cloth.

All kinds of tasks that people can do in their own homes, as long as they are willing to work, with the collected supplies, distribute coarse wheat flour to help them survive the winter.

As for why only the people who gather villages and villages can have it, because in this way, they can directly dispatch the army to investigate, and if there is corruption or something, they will be killed directly, the whole family's property will be confiscated, and their wives and sons will be incorporated into slavery.

After all, I don't have much food in my hands now, and it's great that someone is willing to take the initiative to replenish it.

In terms of internal affairs, to appease the people, and in terms of public security, it is to take advantage of the arrival of winter to encircle and suppress the defeated soldiers and thieves in Qingzhou.

After all, he first fought with Gou Xi, and then fought with Tian Yu's beggar army.

Although the large armed forces in Qingzhou are gone, it is still very common for bandit gangs composed of various gangs of homeless people and routs.

Even some local families have cooperated with these bandit gangs, wanting to domesticate them to become their own family power.

After all, with the fall of Luoyang, the incapable family chose to take refuge in the south, and the capable family chose to take the initiative to meet the troubled times, making themselves stronger and having the ability to protect themselves in this troubled times.

Those big families in Qingzhou, Liu Tai didn't move them, but if they wanted to escape, then Liu Tai could finally put together a cavalry to follow them.

They can run if they want to, they their land, their slaves, and even their family education, Liu Tai reluctantly laughed at it.

It was Liu Tai who did not encroach on their interests, but his indifferent attitude made the local Qingzhou family a little puzzled.

But as there are fewer and fewer bandits and robbers in Qingzhou, the law and order is becoming more and more stable, which at least makes the local families relax and no longer have the intention of going south.

After all, as long as Liu Tai didn't take the initiative to rob his house, even if they relied on their own slave tribes and the dock fort barrier they built, they could protect themselves in this troubled world after all.

After all, if you can't deal with the regular army, can't you deal with the rogues!

And although Liu Tai was young, he even defeated Gou Xi, and they really didn't want to disobey Liu Tai's orders.

And Liu Tai didn't do anything to them, one of the important reasons is that Liu Tai also plans to mix under Wang Mi's hands!

This is a crucial point.

If he plans to be independent, then Liu Tai naturally needs to visit and win over wealthy families, make a humble and tolerant posture, and try his best to make as many friends as possible and few enemies.

But the problem is, Liu Tai has no intention of improving!

In other words, Liu Tai also knows that age is his biggest injury, at least in the past few years, he is ready to be a low-key person.

Therefore, Liu Tai's positioning of himself is the military, and he cultivates and excavates his own talents from the military.

And don't have too much involvement with the family, the family is left to Wang Mi to balance himself.

After all, even if the relationship between himself and Wang Mi is close, it is not father and son in the end, even if it is a father and son, there are many people who turn their faces for power, since this is the case, he must have a sense of proportion.

Compared with himself, Wang Mi is better at dealing with various families in Qingzhou, in this regard, using the family to restrain himself, Liu Tai believes that Wang Mi is definitely very happy.

In this way, the political pattern of the entire Qingzhou has been decided.

Therefore, Liu Tai really took great pains for Wang Mi, so he waited for Wang Mi to come over!

But with the arrival of winter, hearing the news that Wang Mi had died, Liu Tai couldn't help but be stunned.

Shi Le's idea of killing Wang Mi has never appeared in his mind.

After all, in Liu Tai's opinion, when he and others fought Yecheng together, they also cooperated happily, not to mention how good the relationship between himself and Shi Le was, at least there was incense in it.

But Wang Mi was killed by Shi Le, which made Liu Tai react.

"What did you say!" Cao Wei was also a little incredulous, and grabbed the messenger who came to report the news!

"Shi Le set up a Hongmen banquet, General Wang Mi and General Wang Zhang were not killed, and most of the subordinates have been swallowed up by Shi Le!" The messenger spoke.

Liu Tai took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Chu Yi, and said:

"Contact Li Gu and Wang Sang in Yecheng, and send an order to Xu Miao Sorghum in Langya, and say that they will go to Qingzhou together to discuss the crusade against Shile!"

And after Liu Tai finished saying this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Cao Wei, Cao Wei's face changed slightly, and he saluted Liu Tai, "A certain is willing to be driven by the king and jointly crusade against Shile!" ”

"Don't disturb me, let me go back to my room and be quiet!" After Liu Tai finished speaking, he said to Chu Yu.

When Chu Yu heard this, although he was worried, he didn't say anything.

After all, the news of Wang Mi's death spread so suddenly that almost everyone didn't have time to prepare.

At this time, Chu Yu looked at Liu Taidao and said, "The general should hold the funeral for General Wang Mi and set up a well-dressed tomb!" ”

"As it should be!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "I don't understand the etiquette things, and I ask Mr. Chu to do more effort!" ”

"Chu Yu understands!" Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't choose to say it to Liu Tai at this time, just sighed and began to prepare for the funeral.

Liu Tai, on the other hand, returned to his room, closed the door, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and pondered, and then went to sleep.

Although Wang Mi and Wang Zhang were killed, his heart was actually quite sad, but his eyes could not shed a single tear.

It's just that I feel like I'm a lot farther away from this world.

Lying on his bed, he always felt like all his plans for the future had been nullified.

All your plans for the future must be overturned and redone!

Liu Tai really didn't expect that he would have to come to the front so soon.

But Liu Tai also knows very well that Wang Mi is dead, if he doesn't go to the forefront, then naturally someone else will inherit Wang Mi's political assets, and the more he arrives at this time, the more he can't retreat.

Liu Tai locked himself in the room for three days, and he thought a lot in his head.

But more, Liu Tai was lying in his room and sleeping, and Liu Tai knew that he only had so much time left to lie down.

But when he goes out next time, he will no longer be just a general who needs to fight, but a prince who needs to become a force, but Liu Tai didn't expect this burden to come so unexpectedly.

"Bang bang bang!" The door rang again.

"What people!" Liu Tai said to outsiders.

"Liu Qingzhou, the mourning hall has been arranged, and Liu Qingzhou is invited to preside over the ceremony!" Chu Miao's voice came when it came.

"Got it!" Liu Tai opened the door and walked out solemnly, the sky was clear outside, and the morning sun was rising.

The sky in Qingzhou is different after all.
