Chapter 168: Set Sail

"You mean, Gou Xi asked you to come back because he planned to tell me that he only wanted Langya County and Taishan County?" When Liu Tai heard Gou Chun's words, he couldn't help but laugh a little, "Do I want to thank him for knowing the righteousness?" ”

When Gou Chun heard Liu Tai's tone, he chose to shut up, obviously saying that it was not appropriate for him to say anything at this time.

"County Prince, it looks like Gou Xi's matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible!" Chu Yu said with a serious expression,

"Otherwise, if Wang Jun and Gou Xi really form a flank attack from the north and south, causing the overall situation of our army to be turbulent, then our situation will be passive!"

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded, and then said to Gou Chun: "Daozheng, you have worked hard for a trip, and then take care of your body first."

Let's recuperate for a month, and when your body recovers, go back to your tax department and continue to investigate the thousand-acre tax and the conscription tax.

These days you are not here, and the wealthy families are a little rampant again! ”

"The minister will go back to recuperate, and he will definitely live up to the care of the county prince!" Gou Chun's words hesitated for a moment at this point, and then he spoke, "When the minister was in Xuzhou, I saw Ge Hong, who was awarded a thousand gold rewards by the general, was under Gou Xi's command!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Tai's eyes lit up when he heard Gou Chun's words, to be honest, Liu Tai didn't expect that there would be such news.

However, after saying this, Gou Chun did not leave, but with hesitation and hesitation on his face.

Liu Tai looked at Gou Chun's appearance and said thoughtfully, "Are you worried about Gou Xi's life?" ”

Gou Chun heard Liu Tai's words, sighed and said, "Returning to the county duke, the minister should not say this, but the minister only has this one brother, if the county prince captures him on the battlefield, please also ask the county prince to leave his brother alive!" ”

Liu Tai patted Gou Chun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your brother and brother Gong are naturally a good thing, but the battlefield has no eyes, and I don't dare to give you any guarantees, after all, Gou Xi crossed the line this time!" ”

When Gou Chun heard Liu Tai's words, he only saluted Liu Tai, and said helplessly, "The minister's request is too rude!" ”

After Gou Chun finished speaking, he left a little dejected.

Although his brother's behavior is very beastly, Gou Chun knows how much Gou Xi is really for his own good and the good of the Gou family.

"Why didn't the general agree to Gou Chun, with a pure heart!" Chu Yu looked at Liu Tai, but said it.

"Why do you all look like you're going to die!" When Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, he couldn't cry or laugh a little.

"Yes, I defeated him, and I mixed sand into his army.

But this is Gou Xi, why is it that I have eaten him one by one, if he is careless, he can really kill me! ”

When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and he also understood that he didn't know why he also looked down on Gou Xi a little.

After all, if it was changed a few years ago, the invincible Gou Xi, Chu Yi only heard that Gou Xi was going to deal with him, and he would have an inexplicable sense of suffocation, but now, it seems that Gou Xi is only like this, and what kind of person is there who Liu Tai can't defeat?

This is the undefeated golden body of the famous generals who have won all the way, and everyone in their own camp unconditionally believes that Liu Tai will win, especially Gou Xi, an opponent who has already defeated Liu Tai once, is even more difficult to match Liu Tai.

Chu Yu shook his head, secretly reminded himself not to be careless, and then said to Liu Tai:

"Jungong, if you defeat Gou Xi and capture him successfully, the minister begs you to release him again!"

"Crazy!" Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, but said with a little surprise,

"At the beginning, I let go of Gou Xi because my uncle had just died, and I didn't know the attitude of Luoyang towards us, so I needed to raise Kou to be self-respecting.

As for the so-called letting Gou Xi be the gateway to our southeast, it is more just a joke.

Now, if you have the chance, why not destroy it? He really came and went when we opened a good church! ”

When Liu Tai heard Chu Yi's words, he didn't understand Chu Yi's train of thought, after all, the current Gou Xi is not important enough to let him go.

But Chu Yu shook his head at Liu Tai and said, "The county prince still remembers, if we defeat Wang Jun, where is the next goal!" ”

"When you wait for the day, take Pingzhou first!" When Liu Tai heard Chu Yi's words, he reacted a little.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "If the heroes compete today, the King of Langya of the Jin Court has gradually taken power in Jiangdong.

Since we intend to develop in the north, we will inevitably need to arrange for people to contain the situation in the south.

Otherwise, if the king of Langya of the Jin court subdued Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, he would achieve the trend of Eastern Wu.

In the future, we will be troublesome if we want to deal with it, after all, the former Soochow was ruled by the river, but it was curbed by Hefei.

Now as the situation in the world gradually becomes clear, if Sima Rui swallows the land of Sizhou, it will not be easy for us to deal with him.

Therefore, it is better to teach Gou Xi a lesson and let him continue to disgust Sima Rui! ”

"What if Sima Rui is bright and broad-minded, and chooses to accept Gou Xi?!" Liu Tai couldn't help but say to Chu Yu.

"Not to mention whether the Sima family has such a mind, the Sima family started with power and conspiracy, and it will definitely be destroyed because of power and conspiracy!"

Chu Yu sighed a little and said, "The Sima family seized the world with power and deceit, and since then the world has not been stable, but full of turmoil.

In the final analysis, it is still the Jin Court that is not in the right position, no matter who you look at, you are a chaotic minister and thief, so what if you accept Gou Xi.

In the eyes of Jin Ting, having the right to be a soldier is a felony in itself, not to mention that he is also clearly anti-Sima Yue, but Sima Rui has completely inherited Sima Yue's legacy.

If Sima Yue needs Liwei in the future, he will take Gou Xi as soon as possible!

In the final analysis, Gou Xi is not from a family, and he is not the same as Wang Dao and Sima Yue.

If one of the two is in the south of the sky and the other is in the north of the earth, maybe they can still be safe.

But one is in Xuzhou and the other is in Yangzhou, even if it's okay now, sooner or later something will happen! ”

Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, nodded and said, "I understand, let's not mention it now, wait until I have a fight with him."

If he had been stabbed to death on the battlefield, maybe I wouldn't have had to think so much! ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yi didn't say much, but Chu Yi believed that Gou Xi could still survive if he didn't bent on death.

After all, on the battlefield, all generals basically have pro-guards, so a very small number of generals die on the battlefield.

Chu Yu understood that Liu Tai thought that he had let Gou Xi go, and Gou Xi obediently used him as a barrier.

When he finishes cleaning up the northern forces, and then turns his head and releases Wang Ba's anger, then Gou Xi will be able to surrender.

At that time, it will be more or less a good story, Gou Xi led the crowd to descend and get a marquis, wouldn't it be beautiful.

But the problem is that as long as people in the world can be princes on one side, who wants to be dogs.

And this world is so magical, if it is a cowardly guy, even if Liu Tai gives him the south of Mount Tai as a barrier, he may not be able to deter the Jin court in the south.

But if he is too capable, such as Gou Xi, when his own strength swells to a certain extent, then Gou Xi will borrow various ways to increase his strength and break free from the shackles on his body!

But even so, Chu Yu still hopes that Gou Xi is alive.

But there is no way, compared with vision and strategy, Chu Tai is really not as good as Liu Tai, but when it comes to political sensitivity, then Liu Tai can't catch up with Chu Tai even if he is a horse.

Because after the fall of Wang Jun, the remnants of the Western Jin Dynasty in Guanxi were pursued and killed by the Xiongnu Han State, and Liu Kun in the north was still struggling to survive in Bingzhou.

The only high-ranking officials of the Jin Court who can really influence the world are Gou Xi and Sima Rui.

And as long as these two people are not in harmony, it is destined that the power of Jin Ting cannot be completely integrated.

Even when Gou Xi became the benchmark figure of some forces in the Jin court, he designed Gou Xi to take refuge in Liu Tai.

The impact of that will make the resistance forces of the Jin court desperate, and it will take away part of the power that originally belonged to the Jin court.

Therefore, compared with Liu Tai's layout in the overall situation, Chu Yu prefers to make cloth in the political pattern.

For such a purpose, in Chu Yu's view, it is more valuable to let Gou Xi live than to let Gou Xi die.

In the final analysis, the undefeated golden body on Gou Xi's body was defeated by Liu Tai, so Liu Tai naturally restrained Gou Xi, so why not make good use of it!

Liu Tai and Chu Yu said goodbye and entrusted Qingzhou to Chu Biao.

And he dispatched Liu Ming, Ge Xin and Xi Jian to accompany the army, leading about 10,000 soldiers in his headquarters, preparing to set off to defeat Gou Xi.

At this time, Zhou Ping saw that Liu Tai did not choose himself, and immediately came to Liu Tai and recommended himself:

"General, now that you are crusading against Gou Xi, Zhao Anyuan is in Jizhou, and I won't talk about him first, but since you have brought Liu Ming and Ge Xin with you, why don't you let Ping follow you!"

"You give me a good rectification of the soldiers in Linzi, and when I come back from Xuzhou, I will crusade against Wang Jun together.

This time, I shot at Gou Xi, and I had the idea of fighting quickly, and only 10,000 soldiers were enough. Liu Tai shook his head.

Zhou Ping sighed helplessly when he saw Liu Tai's words, obviously, he was afraid that he would not have much chance.

And Liu Yao heard Liu Tai's words, and came out decisively and said:

"Since the county prince plans to fight a quick battle, when he lets the heavy cavalry accompany him, he will definitely be able to defeat Gou Xi's military camp in a short time!"

"You are the killer weapon that I am going to prepare to deal with Wang Jun, how can you easily display it in the eyes of the world."

Liu Tai said to Liu Yao, "By the way, have the soldiers adapted to the whole body armament, and the horses can adapt to this equipment!" ”

Liu Yao said: "Back to the county prince, the soldiers are adapting as soon as possible, and the horses are eating better than the rest of us now."

These guys are wearing iron bumps all over their bodies, even the horse's hooves are added with iron hooves, and if they adapt to it, they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! ”

At this moment, Liu Yao was also full of expectations, he was already eager to directly collide with Qi Hong's red-blooded horse and completely crush it!

Liu Tai nodded approvingly when he heard this.

To be honest, saddles and stirrups were already relatively common cavalry equipment in this era.

After all, throughout the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the cavalry developed from ranger cavalry to heavy armored cavalry, especially heavy cavalry became the mainstream military force of each country.

Heavy cavalry appeared in almost every decisive battle of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

This situation lasted for 300 years, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the heavy cavalry gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and the light assault cavalry became the most common type of cavalry again.

However, in the process of integration of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the technology of horseshoe has appeared in the Xianbei tribe, and the nail horsefoot diagram of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang proves that this technology has developed to the people in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

However, it is the Mongolian iron cavalry that really links the horseshoe technology with military technology and thoroughly carries it forward.

Because the Mongolian iron horse can cross the Eurasian continent without defeat, the horsehoe, which looks like a small object, has made a great contribution.

Otherwise, the horse's hooves have a certain lifespan, and after a certain degree of wear, the horse will be completely destroyed.

However, Liu Tai also understood why the technology of horseshoes, although it appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, really played its due role when the Mongolian cavalry was born.

One of the most important points is that the horse arms of this era gradually became more and more heavy cavalry.

For the heavy cavalry, what they care about is not whether the horse's hooves will wear out, but how many heavy cavalry horses will survive after the heavy cavalry is used once.

After all, even if the tanks were used in war, there were still staggering losses, not to mention the heavy cavalry, which seemed to be invincible on the battlefield, in the end, it was just horses on a rampage.

After pacifying the two, Liu Tai took Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Xi Jian and others to lead the soldiers to march in a hurry, all the way to Jiaozhou Bay in Changguang County.

To be honest, although there is a road being repaired, watching himself and others rushing towards the hinterland of Qingzhou, Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Xi Jian and others are also confused.

However, when they arrived at the military camp in Changguang County, and watched the ships that made them feel like ants appear in front of them, everyone's eyes were full of amazement.

"Lao Tian, are you still alive?!" At this time, the sharp-eyed Ge Xin suddenly saw Tian Yu, but he couldn't help but exclaim.

"What the fuss about!" Tian Yu looked at Ge Xin's shocked appearance, and scolded,

"You are not dead, how can Lao Tzu die, it's just that he has been practicing the navy here for the past few years!"

"Oh oh oh, Lao Tzu still thought you were dead, and he was going to give birth to ten or eight sons in the future to give you a successor to inherit your incense, since you are still alive, then it looks like you don't need it!" Ge Xin couldn't help but grin.

"Thank you so much!" Tian Yu couldn't help but laugh and scolded, then turned to Liu Tai and said, "General, this is about to set sail?" ”

"Let the soldiers get on the ship, and then set sail, this time the fleet is only responsible for transportation and does not participate in the attack, even if it is a rehearsal for the original plan, after all, although this ship has been designed and developed for a long time, it is really not a long journey."

Liu Tai looked at Tian Yu and said, "With the help of this test, see if there are any flaws along the way, so as to ensure that the next plan is foolproof!" ”

"Obey!" When Tian Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he said confidently, "I will definitely let the county prince take a good look at the results of this army's three years of hard work!" ”

"All the soldiers are on the boat, Tian Yu, set sail!" Liu Tai said.
