Liu Tai was stationed in a remote place in the East China Sea to rest for a day, after all, the soldiers needed a little rest to get back to the ground.

At the same time, Liu Tai also sent soldiers to explore the surrounding counties and determine his next march route.

This time, he has made a detour behind Gou Xi, which in itself is his biggest advantage.

The initiative in the war is completely in your own hands, and the next step is to attack Gou Xi from the rear!

At this time, Gou Xi was somewhat complacent, because he easily took Langya County without blood.

How much is because Langya County is more of a buffer zone between himself and Gou Xi for Liu Tai, and there are not many soldiers stationed there.

At the same time, the families of Langya County basically fled to Sima Rui's command, and the people of Langya County were relocated to Qingzhou and Taishan County by Liu Tai.

Of course, this part of Langya County is not bad, and if it is well cultivated, it is not without development potential.

But the problem is that this piece of land borders the East China Sea and is almost a normal one with each other, without any natural line of defense.

Under such circumstances, Liu Tai felt that instead of throwing a large number of soldiers and resources here, it was better to relocate the local people and let them build Qingzhou and Taishan County, so that they could obtain more benefits for themselves.

After all, in the final analysis, it is a troubled time, and under the concept of troubled times, the first question is whether you can hold it and whether it will be damaged by hostile forces, and then decide whether to invest corresponding resources to develop this area.

And the northern part of Shandong chosen by Liu Tai has Shandong hills as a barrier, at least the enemy in the south does not have to worry too much.

Although Taishan County is outside the barrier cast by the hills of Shandong, it is more or less his original foothold, there are enough people and people, plus the local hills of Taishan, as long as Liu Tai wants to defend, he can still defend smoothly.

But if you think you are great and take the initiative to expand outward, then now you are attacking from the north and south, and you will be overstretched.

But now, that's it, Gou Xi, believe it or not, there are only 30,000 soldiers, are you sure you can take Taishan County?!

At this moment, Gou Xi led the army to the city of Xintai and confronted Yu Yao and other generals.

Gou Xi and Shao Xu rode horses to Xintai County, observing this county, of course, it is a small county, but in order to prevent Gou Xi, Xintai County has been expanded, which can accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers, and the war has continued in this county for more than a year, because under this county, there is a considerable material reserve room.

This is not a temporary excavation, but when Taishan County was occupied at the beginning, it was necessary to deal with Gou Xi in the north and Zhou Fu in the south, but Zhou Fu himself was ordered by Sima Yue to explode and kill, so the supporting facilities of the city were not used at all.

But in the end, the space for expansion flowed down, coupled with the relative stability of Taishan County in recent years, and the fact that he was a little wary of Gou Xi, in this case, Xintai's resource reserves are still relatively rich.

After the arrival of the medicine, it was found that at least the armor needed by the soldiers may be a little lacking, but there is no shortage of weapons and arrows.

Gou Xi looked at the soldiers under Xintai City, and inspected one by one energetically, but he couldn't help frowning:

"Liu Tai doesn't know the current affairs, and in the face of Wang Jun leading the army south, is he reluctant to give me even Taishan County?"

The county seat of Xintai, although it is not very tall in Gou Xi's opinion, also has a moat and soldiers stationed.

Moreover, these soldiers, even if they were patrolling in winter, did not see them complain, but conscientiously completed their tasks, which made Gou Xi understand that no matter how disciplined the other party was, at least the other party's soldiers were very qualified.

In the face of such a county, Gou Xi is not saying that he can't beat it, after all, if his soldiers are not attacked, they can be defeated, but after the fight, he first made a mortal enmity with Liu Tai, and more importantly, the soldiers in his hands can be defeated, and now he has to continue to accumulate strength, and every point of strength is very precious.

In this case, if he can use the means of military suppression, or fraud, in short, let Liu Tai understand the urgency of the situation, so as to cede Taishan County to himself, and let his soldiers avoid losses as much as possible.

After all, Gou Xi also knows that although Taishan County is now on the edge of Liu Tai's power, it was Liu Tai's starting place, Gou Xi believes that Taishan County is definitely developed quite well by Liu Tai, if he can swallow it in one go, then he will be able to become a real prince all the way, and even through Taishan County as a springboard, swallowing the entire Yanzhou can not be said.

After all, Gou Xi is a person who knows the soldiers, and Gou Xi doesn't know what kind of goods Yu Yao is, but Gou Xi looks at these soldiers, but he understands that as long as Yu Yao has a normal level, then as long as he is dedicated to defending the city, whoever encounters it will have a great headache, because he can only rely on his strength to eat the other party.

"General, are we attacking the city?" Shao Xu looked at the defense of Xintai County and couldn't help but ask Gou Xi.

Gou Xi looked at Xintai, but he didn't find anything too weak to take you, but said to Shao Xu:

"Let's prepare for the siege in the early stage, all kinds of siege facilities are set up as much as possible, if we can lure out the enemy troops outside as much as possible, otherwise, we will accumulate strength and slowly consume it with him!"

Gou Xi said this, but added: "We are not in a hurry, Liu Tai, who should be anxious now, if he wants to guard everywhere, then he is afraid that he will not be able to hold anywhere, and when the pressure from Wang Jun's side is greater, Liu Tai will figure it out!" ”

"Order!" Shao Xu said Chu Yu's words, but nodded and replied, and immediately went over to build siege weapons.

To be honest, Shao Xu still couldn't wipe off his face when attacking Liu Tai.

After all, although he was captured by Liu Tai at the beginning, Liu Tai only treated himself normally and did not humiliate himself.

As for letting himself work, he was naturally a little resentful at first, but seeing his immediate boss Gou Xi grinding there, and all the generals who were caught were the same, and every time he escaped, he naturally didn't resent anything in his heart.

Not to mention that Liu Tai chose to let himself go at the beginning, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a grace not to kill.

To be honest, if Liu Tai's identity was changed to Liu Kun, the generals under Gou Xi's command would all be crying and shouting to be obedient.

However, who made Liu Tai's identity so embarrassing made many Jin court martial artists have a little bit of resistance to Liu Tai.

Because Shao Xu is a Jin person in the end, and Liu Tai looks at the eagle dogs belonging to the Huns, which is somewhat disgusting.

And this identity determines that a large part of the martial artists who have risen from the bottom have some heartfelt resistance to Liu Tai.

In any country and any history, the elite class is often the softest, such as the family of this era, some people choose to travel south, but a large part of them choose to join the new clan in order to ensure their local interests.

On the contrary, like Shao Xu, he is more or less a cold martial artist who has followed Gou Xi all the way, but he has integrity and is very resistant to the invaders.

Of course, this has been the case throughout history, where the elite class apparently holds the most abundant resources of the entire country.

But they just have weak knees, and when they see that the general trend is about to tilt, most of them choose to kneel down first to ensure their wealth.

This may be the reason why the vast majority of the alien races that can rule China are alien races with a small number of ethnic groups.

For example, Mongolia, such as the Qing Dynasty, and even the Jin Dynasty during the Northern Song Dynasty, their own size is too small.

The number of these ethnic minorities is nothing compared to the Han elite class, especially after the war, the population has decreased and productivity has increased, making the Han elite feel that even if they change their new masters, they will have no other impact.

In their opinion, the Han elite class defected to the rulers of ethnic minorities, but when they got the pen, it was recorded in the history books that the good birds chose the trees to perch.

He can still maintain his status and wealth, and as for the festival or something, where is the continuation of the entire family important.

After all, as long as these ethnic minorities want to govern China, they still need to rely on the Han elite to rule.

There is no way, the grassroots management is in the hands of the Han elite, although the minority rulers have a noble status, they are not the producers of materials, and the real material producers and production relations are still in the hands of the Han people, so after the minority rulers lose the first generation of martial arts, they will soon be swallowed up by the Chinese civilization.

In contrast, the elite class kneels fast enough to not experience the pain of the skin, or because they feel the pain of the skin, so they kneel faster.

For the people at the bottom, they have no choice at all in the troubled times, what they see is that the alien race has come to their land to do evil, slaughter and kill, even if they want to be slaves, what a hatred this is.

This makes the people at the bottom often have a simple national concept in their hearts, and breeds national integrity.

If some of them are fully unleashed and successfully climb to the top position, then they will naturally become the core of the rebellion against foreign races, such as the beggar army and the nomadic marshal of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, these people often become the main force against the aliens, and Yue Fei in the Northern Song Dynasty came from a tenant farmer, and Li Dingguo in the late Ming Dynasty was born in a rogue, etc., are all corresponding examples.

Speaking of which, let's talk about the War of Resistance, in fact, there were many elites who chose the War of Resistance at that time, and in some cases it was because the size of the Japanese invaders was too large.

As long as you have a little knowledge, the elite will find that even if you defect to Japan, you can only be a slave, and you can continue to maintain the dignity of your elite.

The Japanese invaders' own animal behavior also proves that no matter what identity you have, you will eventually be swallowed up little by little.

After the interests of the traitors were completely squeezed out, the Japanese invaders themselves were able to directly set up the administrative system and bypass the so-called elite class, which made them not at all able to form some kind of common interests with the Japanese invaders like the ancient ethnic minorities who invaded China.

So whoever wants to overturn the case for Wang, saying that he and Jiang are two ways to survive China, just makes people laugh.

And this is also the greatness of the great man, he saw through this at a glance and directly proposed the establishment of an anti-Japanese united front.

Historically, the so-called elite class should have cooperated with the invaders and became the leaders of the invasion of Chinese civilization.

But the great man clearly saw that the landlords and capitalists of their own clan, when facing the Japanese invaders, were actually unable to win over the Japanese invaders, but they could win over the united class, and this was really powerful!

Therefore, Liu Tai's subordinates followed Liu Tai all the way to revolt, naturally they didn't have so many ideas, Liu Tai had won so many victories, they had long been accustomed to treating Liu Tai as a god, as long as Liu Tai did not have a big defeat, then Liu Tai's orders were unconditionally executed.

As for the family, he thinks that Liu Tai is Xiang Yu of this era, and he is unstoppable all the way, but because he doesn't pay attention to the family, he can only be regarded as a potential stock, and even uses Liu Tai as a springboard, but now he looks around, and he doesn't see any famous owners, who can kill Liu Tai, so now he continues to mix for the time being.

Of course, those to whom Liu Tai belonged took Liu Tai's land, and the government soldiers who formed a binding interest with Liu Tai were naturally counted separately.

In any case, although Liu Yuan founded the Xiongnu Han State and even destroyed the Jin court, it was still quite difficult for the vast majority of Jin people in the world to get them to accept the Xiongnu Han State.

As for Liu Tai, a traitor under the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, it is even more difficult to accept.

After all, the most difficult thing in the world is identity, this kind of thing, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself!

Gou Xi led the army to make full preparations at this moment, but raised his head to look at Xintai, and then raised his head to look in the direction of Linzi.

To be honest, Gou Xi shouldn't fight Liu Tai, after all, he is really not sure about Liu Tai!

Gou Xi prepares siege weapons against the city of Xintai in the camp every day, while delaying time to wait for Liu Tai to give a complete reply.

At this time, Yu Yao in Xintai also started the spirit of 120,000 points.

After all, Yu Yao's positioning of himself is still very clear, and he is just an ordinary general.

On the other side, Gou Xi, a famous general who has been famous for many years, is a little jealous in his heart.

Even if it was a few years before Gou Xi's golden body was broken, then a general who didn't even have a name like slaughtered himself didn't even need to blink his eyes.

The only fortunate thing is that Taishan County is the city where he was born, and his own family is inherited from the ban, which is not too big or small in Taishan County, and it is more or less a family, and there are some hearts. ”
