Chapter 167: Zu Li's Decision
Soon, Taishan County and Langya County began to spread the news of Wang Jun's conquest of Liu Tai one after another.
Of course, there is Chu Yi's fueling of this, and the news of Wang Jun's crusade against Liu Tai is also a sensation for the whole world.
Shi Le, who is next door to Wang Jun, dreamed of making it difficult for Liu Tai, so he pushed the boat more smoothly, and the entire area north of the Yellow River basically began to sing about it.
"Wang Pengzu finally has news!" Gou Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and walked to a beautiful attic.
Gou Xi looked at the maid standing guard at the door, waved his hand and saw that the door was opened by the maid, and a wave of fat powder came to his face.
Gou Xi strode in and saw Gou Chun lying on a large bed with seven or eight disheveled women.
Seeing Gou Xi come in, his eyes were full of numbness, compared to a few months ago, Gou Chun's whole person had completely become a scum.
"Okay, you can go back to Liu Tai tomorrow!" Gou Xi looked at Gou Chun's appearance and said.
"Finally someone is pregnant!?" Gou Chun's original appearance as if he was completely numb to life finally recovered a little bit of brilliance.
The past few months have been too unforgettable for Gou Chun, although Gou Chun also agrees with most people's opinions of his brother Gou Xi, this guy is simply a brute, but he didn't expect Gou Xi to be a brute to this extent.
He is his own brother, and he actually breeds himself like a livestock.
The most important thing is to use the righteousness of the family to pressure yourself, even so, you can't sing every night, seven times a day.
Then the bastard named Ge Hong beside him took out the "Secret Technique in Ge's Room" and refined the Kidney Tonifying Golden Pill, so that he could quickly make up for the deficit of essence and kidney qi after taking the medicine, so that he could continue to stay for the Gou family, but he couldn't help but let himself take a breath.
Now, this dark day has finally come to an end, Gou Chun can't help but burst into tears, it's good to be alive!
"It's not sure yet, even if it's Divine Doctor Ge, it will take at least three months to determine the pulse!" Gou Xi couldn't help but say,
"Wang Jun and Liu Tai have fought each other, I need you to go back to Liu Tai and tell Liu Tai to give me the two counties of Langya and Taishan, so that I will not participate in the fight between him and Wang Jun, and even help him clear the ghosts and ghosts in the south.
He doesn't want me to be his barrier, I'll just do it well, as for the mutual market, I am naturally willing to exchange markets with him! ”
Gou Xi knows that this time Wang Jun and Liu Tai fight, no matter who wins or loses, the two will not be able to separate in a short period of time.
In such a situation, the most important thing for yourself is to seize the opportunity to develop yourself.
Now I want to compete with Liu Tai, it is a pipe dream, Liu Tai is biased all the way, and he can resist himself.
There is no way, the lack of troops in his hands and the lack of foundation are unavoidable, no matter what.
But if the two counties of Taishan County and Langya County are in their hands, they can be regarded as taking most of Xuzhou, and even a part of Yanzhou, they don't say what to call the emperor, but if they just want to tear the soil and seal the king and become a prince, it is definitely enough.
Even if there is really a very small variable on the battlefield, so that Liu Tai is destroyed by Wang Jun, he can even take advantage of the situation to enter Qingzhou, maybe he will become a fisherman, kill Wang Jun in one fell swoop, and become the new northern overlord!
It can be said that as Liu Tai and Wang Jun began to confront each other head-on, Gou Xi began to think about his bright future.
"Okay, when I go back, I'll inform the county prince of your conditions!" Gou Chun gritted his teeth and said.
I'd better hurry up and get out of here first, continue to stay here, I'm afraid that I'm going to be sucked dry by this room full of female goblins, I don't want to die, at least I definitely don't want such a way to die, it's better to go back to Qingzhou first and then worry about one or two.
Gou Xi saw that Gou Chun gave him the answer, and showed a satisfied smile, after all, he was his own brother, and he had to take care of one or two.
Of course, Gou Xi planned to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Liu Tai's hands, but when Zu Ti, who started smelting iron, casting weapons, and recruiting soldiers in Huaiyin, heard the news, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "Shi Shao, our opportunity has come!" ”
"Brother, we are now recruiting less than two thousand soldiers, less than twenty armor, and the equipment is even more reluctant to equip the whole army, not to mention, the Han thief Liu Tai and Wang Pengzu fought in Jizhou, thousands of miles away from us, how can we get the opportunity!"
To be honest, Zu Yue really didn't understand why Zu Yi was so excited when he heard this.
But no matter how he thinks about it, such a weak army as he can't be weaker anymore, and he is so far away from the battlefield where Liu Tai and Wang Jun clashed, no matter what, it has nothing to do with himself and others!
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law......"
"Brother, when is this coming, is it time to recite the Art of War!" Zu Yue couldn't help but interrupt.
"That's it for the next sentence!" Zu Ti was not angry, and said, "The Taoist, let the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with it, they can live with it, and they are not afraid of danger." ”
"What does this mean? It has something to do with the fact that we only have less than 2,000 people, and we want to run thousands of miles away to fight Liu Tai? Zu Yue listened to Zu Li's words, and his heart was full of incomprehension!
"If there is chaos today, the royal family is dying, but we are weak and lonely, seeing foreign races galloping and traitors everywhere, it is really the danger of my Shenzhou!" Zu Ti said this, his face was also a little gloomy, and the current situation is really not good.
However, Zu Ti's voice immediately became high, "But now the center of gravity of the Xiongnu puppet Han is either in the old capital of Guanxi, or north of the Yellow River, and it is impossible to break free for a while."
Only the land of Yanzhou, south of the Yellow River, has vertical and horizontal barriers, stone forts everywhere, and all ethnic groups are strong and strong to make a living.
These people are all my Jin court lang'er, unwilling to be with the pseudo-Han, just to protect themselves, if they can be integrated, it will be the first step of my Great Jin Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of China.
I'm worried that I can't help it, I didn't expect Wang Pengzu to crusade against Liu Tai, didn't this send an opportunity! ”
"Brother plans to integrate these people, we have less than two thousand, can we do it?!" Zu Chun couldn't help but say.
"We have the order of the king of Langya to go north to crusade, and we have the merit of assisting Wang Jun to attack from the north and south, as long as we play the banner and go north to rebel, the soldiers of Yanzhou are strong and strong, and they are loyal to the Great Jin, and most of them will choose to belong and crusade against Liu Tai together."
Zu Ti said, "Let the people agree with the above, so you can die with it, you can live with it, and you are not afraid of danger, this is the road of soldiers!" ”
Zu Yue suddenly realized that he also understood his brother's plan.
It doesn't matter if he has few soldiers, there is an order granted by King Langya, and the timing of Wang Jun and Liu Tai's struggle, at this time, the most important thing for Zu Ti is not to attack Liu Tai himself, or even to use this opportunity to annex soldiers and horses, occupy territory or something.
It's about making a name for yourself!
With this name, it is also necessary to be able to unite the nobles and heroes in all parts of Yanzhou, so as to expand their influence.
To be honest, if Zu Youruo is more willing to think about it deeply, Zu Ti can clearly know who needs to be guarded against in Yanzhou through such a call, through the fight with Liu Tai, who needs to be wooed, who needs to be cleaned up, and who can be subdued.
These are all things that Zu Ti plans to ask Liu Tai for this time and go to the temptation.
Compared with Liu Tai, Shi Le, Wang Jun and others, Zu Ti doesn't even have a stable basic plate now, but Sima Rui completely stocked Zu Ti.
If Zu Ti wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, he needed to raise money and food by himself, and the soldiers needed to recruit by himself, and everything started from scratch.
At this moment, Zu Ti was able to discover the particularity of Yanzhou, and began to show his extraordinary strategic vision, seeing the possibility of integrating Yanzhou.
In any case, now that he has called for joining forces with Wang Jun to crusade against Liu Tai, he doesn't care if this matter can succeed or not, but this action alone is enough for him to take the first step towards integrating Yanzhou!
And Zu Ti and Gou Xi in the south are planning, and Shi Le and Liu Kun in the north are also reorganizing their troops.
However, compared to these warlords in the south, who almost hurried to start their actions, the two in the north only recruited their men at the moment and were ready to go out at any time.
Because they all know very well that now it depends on who reveals the flaws first between Liu Tai and Wang Jun, and when the time comes, they will naturally launch an attack unceremoniously, and take advantage of a little bit of it.
And Liu Tai calmly sat in the Department of Internal Affairs, patiently waiting for the news coming and going, although there was a lot of information about the surrounding counties and counties in Qingzhou, Liu Tai was not very flustered.
After all, the north has not completely entered the ice period, or rather, the northern rivers during this time are the most troublesome.
Because the surface of the river has a thin layer of ice floe, but if someone steps into it, the ice floe will surely break, and the whole person will fall into the river.
As for the ship's sailing, it is even more necessary to clear these ice floes, otherwise it will be like a turtle speed.
So at this time, Wang Sang could even lead the army to occasionally confront Wang Jun's army across the river.
But that's all, as the weather gets colder and the river freezes stronger and stronger, Wang Sang can only choose to shrink into the defense system of Nanpi City and prepare for Wang Jun's attack.
It can be said that with the passage of time, Wang Jun's effective defense range is also shrinking little by little.
For this, Zhou Ping often asked Liu Tai to go on the expedition, but this order was suppressed by Liu Tai.
Liu Tai knew that the confrontation between Wang Sang and Wang Jun would make it easier to form a refueling tactic even if reinforcements were sent over in a short period of time.
In addition, his positioning for Wang Sang is to do a good job in Jizhou's defense system, and he has been stationed in Jizhou for many years, so it can be said that the entire defense system of Jizhou was built by Wang Sang.
The two generals, Gao Liang and Xu Miao, belonged to the generals left by Wang Mi at the beginning, and even Zhang Song was a strategist left by Wang Mi.
His entire defense system in Jizhou is used by the faction left by Wang Mi.
And Wang Sang, because he belongs to Wang Mi's clan and is a relative of Wang Weiniang's family, has become the commander of Jizhou's defense system.
If there were no people from other factions, it would be much more convenient for Wang Sang to dispatch officials from Jizhou.
Therefore, before Wang Sang's letter of request for help came, unless Liu Tai was ready to personally conquer Wang Jun and fight a decisive battle with Wang Jun.
Otherwise, Liu Tai would not easily send reinforcements to support Wang Sang, which was one of the important reasons why Liu Tai gave Wang Sang trust.
In the final analysis, Nanpi City is the core point of his defense system in Jizhou, and it has been continuously strengthened in recent years.
Liu Tai also knows that the war between himself and Wang Jun is definitely not something that can be easily won or lost in a short period of time.
Wang Sang can successfully defend the city on the front line and resist Wang Jun's troops.
In the case of Wang Jun standing still and confronting him in Nanpi, Liu Tai wanted to see what demons and monsters were emerging around him.
And when the time comes, his own army will sweep it away as quickly as possible, and then go to the north with the power of a great victory to fight Wang Jun.
And Liu Tai's patience soon paid off.
After knowing that the news of Wang Jun's army to crusade against Liu Tai was transmitted to the south, Gou Xi at this moment also raised 30,000 troops, known as 100,000, and quickly took Langya County, which was regarded as a buffer zone between the two sides, and began to threaten Taishan County!
"It's finally done!" Liu Tai couldn't help but feel pity when he heard the news.
Because of the geographical advantages, he did not want to seize the Xuzhou area south of Taishan County, after all, there are Shandong hills in the north of Linzi, which is a rare defensive location in Shandong.
Therefore, he put Gou Xi as his shield to avoid being frequently harassed by the southern region.
But now that he dares to fight back against himself, there is no need for Gou Xi to stay.
Liu Tai secretly made a decision in his heart, but someone immediately came to report: "The messenger Mr. Gou Chun has returned from Gou Xi!" ”
To be honest, this news still made Liu Tai a little surprised, originally Liu Tai thought that Gou Chun would stay under Gou Xi from now on, but he didn't expect Gou Chun to come back!
At this moment, Gou Chun rushed into the Internal Affairs Hall, and when he saw Liu Tai, he screamed in a hoarse voice, "Ming Gong, Chun has not disgraced his mission, and finally came back from the hands of the traitor Gou Xi, woo woo woo woo ......"
"Who is this man?!" Liu Tai looked at the emaciated man's sunken eyes, and the thick dark circles under his eyes were afraid that they could not be completely eliminated with modern beautification techniques.
It wasn't until Liu Tai vaguely saw a little bit of the original Gou Chun's shadow on this face that he said loudly, "Daozheng, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Liu Tai looked at Gou Chun's appearance like this, and sighed in his heart how could he doubt Gou Chun's loyal ministers.
It's just that after thinking about it, Gou Xi even made such a ruthless move to his own brother, which is really more beastly than he imagined!
