Chapter 175: Return to Linzi

Liu Tai left Yu Yao to deal with Zu Ti, and Liu Tai believed that Yu Yao would be able to complete the task.

After all, in Liu Tai's opinion, as long as he doesn't encounter an unreasonable monster like the god of war, the excellence of the soldiers and the military system itself can make up for the gap between the generals and the generals.

And the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, there may be people close to the level of the Four Sages, but no one has really reached the level of the Four Sages, otherwise if there is such a person, the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties will not have three hundred years of trouble.

Liu Tai does have an impression of the name Zu Ti, which Liu Tai does not deny, but as far as he knows now, there is no Zu Ti, which shows that Zu Ti has not led the troops for a long time.

The soldiers he summoned were based on the soldiers who came over from the Yanzhou family, and this kind of soldier Liu Tai knew very well that they all listened to their masters, rather than directly listening to their ancestors.

This leads to nothing to do in a downwind war, but as long as it falls into a stalemate or a headwind war, whether there will be weaknesses depends entirely on the psychological quality of these family owners.

Maybe the heads of these wealthy families feel that it is not cost-effective to continue to smash the clansmen's slaves here, so even if they don't run away on the spot, they will choose to preserve their strength.

And if there is one such person on the battlefield, it is a weakness, and if there are too many of them, the entire front can even be said to be full of holes.

Except for the military god-level figures who can touch every front on the battlefield, anyone else encounters such a situation, and it is only a question of how long to hold on and then lose.

Liu Tai relied on his impression of the name Zu Ti, and he could judge that Zu Ti was not easy to deal with.

But sometimes it is difficult for individual ability to resist collective organization, at least Liu Tai does not think that Zu Ti is such a person.

Even in history, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang in the entire Three Kingdoms are also considered to be the leading military strategists, but Cao Cao still has big victories and defeats, and Zhuge Liang still falls into the Wuzhang Plain.

As long as it is not the kind of pervert who has a 100% record in history, Liu Tai said that whoever comes to Taishan County may not be able to win it easily!

At least Taishan County, which Yu Yao is stationed, really gathers the right time, place and people, and wants to lead a group of rabble to take Taishan County, which is too much to look down on the military system he has built.

Even if it is the ancestor who leads this group of rabble, but in the end, he is not also an ancestor!

Of course, in addition to Liu Tai's confidence in the military system he created, he also has a little bit of his own infiltration of the Yanzhou family, which is naturally indispensable to the help of Yang Man, after all, Yang Man was born in the Yanzhou family.

And the Yanzhou family's attitude towards Liu Tai is actually somewhat complicated, and it is not too much to say that it is rejected, after all, Liu Tai recruited Yang Man, and with Yang Man's endorsement, his reputation began to gradually improve in Yanzhou.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Tai used Taishan County as a springboard to sell basic materials such as salt and cloth to Yanzhou, and now he is not worried about selling in troubled times.

There is no way, now Liu Tai and Wang Jun are fighting, Sima Rui in the south is quelling the rebellion, Liu Yao is fighting Chang'an, and he can even have the strength to divide soldiers to harass Li Ju in Xingyang.

The largest salt works of this era were affected by the war, which was not only difficult in terms of production, but also in terms of material transportation.

For the counties of Yanzhou, it is all supported by the salt sold by Liu Tai.

As for cloth, this kind of means of production needs to be provided in a stable production area, so it can be said that Liu Tai took advantage of the situation to attack Yanzhou, maybe there will be many families, for the sake of the face of the Yang family and the Yu family, they will surrender.

But the problem is that Liu Tai is crazy to fight Yanzhou at this time, if he chooses to take Yanzhou, then he will not only border with seven or eight forces, but also may be attacked from all sides at any time, and sooner or later he will be exhausted.

Therefore, it is enough for Liu Tai to only choose to trade some production materials with Yanzhou through the strategic point of Taishan County.

This is also the reason why with the words of Zu Ti, many families in Yanzhou went directly downhill along the donkey.

Because Zu Ti played the banner of responding to Wang Jun and jointly crusading against Liu Tai, these families had a little bit of loyalty to the Great Jin Dynasty, and they also let themselves not seem so maverick, so they followed Zu Ti to attack Taishan County together.

These people were originally paddling, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they chose to flee.

But I didn't expect Zu Ti to be so generous that he didn't need to continue to fight Liu Tai by himself, so naturally they wouldn't insist.

After all, the Xiongnu Han State belongs to the Xiongnu Han State, but people always have to eat salt and clothes, and now there are wars everywhere, even if it is politically correct to beat Liu Tai, it does not prevent them from buying Liu Tai's salt and cloth, after all, people always have to survive.

The twists and turns in this are not clear, but Zu Li knows that these Yanzhou families are not very interested in attacking Liu Taishan County.

So in this way, some people were allowed to leave, and the rest of the people continued to crusade against Liu Tai.

To be honest, there were still a third of the number of people left, and Zu Ti was still a little surprised.

Originally, Zu Ti thought that his subordinates would definitely not be one in ten, but he didn't expect that there were so many people willing to stay.

This made Zu Ti breathe a sigh of relief, and he also began to take advantage of the situation to train these soldiers in a unified manner, and also wanted to use this Taishan County to hone his level of leading troops.

After all, although Zu Ti was constantly being co-opted and promoted during the Eight Kings Rebellion, he never really commanded the soldiers.

When he was valued by Sima Yue and had the ability to lead troops, there happened to be a mother's funeral, and he couldn't keep his filial piety.

And this time to lead the troops is Zu Ti's first time to lead the troops, he can find through his strategic vision, Wang Jun and Liu Tai can actually find opportunities for development, he can more accurately find the forces that can cooperate, which already shows his excellence.

And the first time he led the troops, he could unite the soldiers' beliefs and have the will to die, and also show his command ability.

But that's all, in the end he is only the first time to lead troops, no matter how high the talent is, no matter how good the planning is, if he wants to implement it, he needs a little bit of experience accumulation, after all, he is not Han Xin, the first time he led the troops to destroy Sanqin.

This point can't be avoided even if it's as wise as Zhuge Liang, at most, Zhuge Liang can do it right.

Other ordinary people need more opportunities for trial and error, and of course, not everyone can make up for their mistakes on the battlefield.

Liu Tai returned to Linzi with the army as fast as possible, and at this time, Chu Yu and Zhou Ping greeted them with a festive face.

In any case, this time Liu Tai was able to solve Gou Xi so quickly, which is a great thing for Liu Tai's subordinates.

Liu Tai saw the two and was greeted by the two into Linzi, but he didn't take a break, and asked the two:

"How is the fight between Wang Jun and Uncle Wang Sang?"

"The river is frozen, and the defense line along the river in Nanpi City has been completely broken through by Wang Jun, and now Nanpi City has been surrounded by Wang Jun's army.

Although we have lost contact with the inside, Wang Sang had sent a letter before Nanpi City was besieged.

He told us that the food stock in Nanpi City could be stationed until next summer, and asked us not to worry.

When Gou Xi is solved, it's not too late to support Jizhou! "However, we need to go to support as soon as possible."

Although Wang Jun's Red Blood Cavalry and his family cavalry could not play a role in siege warfare.

But he has many craftsmen who are good at making siege equipment, and the specific siege strength will be beyond Wang Nanpi's expectations. ”

"Hmm!" When Liu Tai heard this, he nodded approvingly, and Liu Tai's eyes looked at Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping looked at Liu Tai and replied decisively: "Please also ask the county prince to give an order, and the whole army of our army can rush to Nanpi and capture Wang Jun!" ”

Liu Tai nodded approvingly when he heard this, and then said, "I know, the more you get to this time, the more you can't be in a hurry."

First release the news that Gou Xi was defeated by us and captured 30,000 soldiers of Gou Xi, so that the soldiers know that we are undefeated.

At the same time, it also allows the soldiers who went out to fight to rest for a week to reduce the fatigue in their hearts.

Since Uncle Wang Sang judged that he could last until next summer, there was no reason why he was easily attacked by the other party in the early winter now.

Now that we have an absolute strategic advantage, there is no reason for us to panic. ”

We have the advantage but panic! ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yi and Zhou Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although they also knew that Nanpi City, where Wang Sang was stationed, needed to deal with Wang Jun, and they had worked hard to build it from the first day they got their hands.

So as long as Wang Sang can work together, plus Zhao An is harassing behind Wang Jun, there will be no problem in a short time.

This kind of words are based on their own judgment, and now they come out of Liu Tai's mouth, which makes him feel inexplicably stable.

In any case, with Liu Tai's military quality all the time, they recognized Liu Tai's military judgment.

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Zhou Ping began to make preparations for the expedition, such as informing the soldiers of the time of the expedition, determining the information of the expedition soldiers, checking the materials for the expedition, and reaching out to Chu Yi if there was anything missing.

Because Liu Tai set to go on the expedition in a week, Zhou Ping became the busiest one, and he needed to walk up and down to deal with it.

Liu Tai watched Zhou Ping leave, turned his head to Chu Yi and said, "This time 30,000 soldiers were captured, you dispatch them to Guo Pu, and let him dredge the river from Linzi to Bohai Bay as much as possible and complete the connection from Linzi to Bohai Bay!" ”

"Did the general finally choose to open up Bohai Bay to Linzi?" Chu Yu was a little surprised when he heard Liu Tai's words.

Because after Guo Pu surveyed the entire water potential canal, he worked out two river channels, one leading to Guanggu City and the other leading to Linzi.

Because Guanggu City will become the political center of Qingzhou in the future, in Chu Yu's view, it is a normal choice to build this canal directly to Guanggu City.

"No, our economic center and political center will be separated, Linzi here as an economic center, we need to dredge the confluence and passage first, as for Guanggu City as our political center, it doesn't matter if you are slow!" Liu Tai shook his head and said.

To be honest, Liu Tai doesn't know why the economic center and the political center of all big countries are separated.

The location is neither far nor too close, at least an area that can be directly governed, and even this has not been the beginning of modern times.

But Chang'an and Luoyang already appeared in ancient China, and later after the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it was divided into Beijing and Jiangnan.

Liu Tai didn't know what the truth was, after all, he was not a talent of the Academy of Social Sciences in his previous life, he was just an ordinary student who was taught dragon slaying by a great mentor, but since all the later powerful countries did this, then he would do it himself.

Separate the newly established Guanggu City from Linzi, let Linzi be the economic center, and let the Guanggu City be the political center.

Chu Yi heard that Liu Tai had made a decision, so the next step was to arrange these captives for Guo Pu to repair the canal.

After all, the person who really worked was Guo Pu, and Liu Tai was just the one who Guo Pu came up with two plans, and Liu Tai made the decision in the end.

For the decision of the superiors, it is a natural difference for the people at the bottom, don't say it, maybe Guo Pu just bent a little on the design question, which will make some people rich and some people lonely.

However, Liu Tai didn't care much about it, after all, the next year or two was enough for these prisoners to be reformed through labor.

When they do adjust to life in prison, they may not want to get out.

After all, compared to this chaotic era, although life in prison is a little hard, it is down-to-earth.

And this matter has been decided, Liu Tai didn't worry about this matter anymore, because Liu Tai believed that after Chu Yu went back, he would definitely work overtime to deal with this matter, after all, as long as there was a matter in hand and not dealt with, Chu Yi would be very uncomfortable.

And at this moment, Liu Tai said to Chu Yi again, "In addition, this time Gou Xi suffered a big loss, and agreed that we would conduct a mutual market in his place, and you can arrange this matter easily!" ”

"It looks like Gou Xi has been subdued this time!" Chu Yu couldn't help but smile a little when he heard Liu Tai's words.

At the beginning, Gou Xi survived, one of the most important points was to use Gou Xi as a springboard to sell goods to the Jiangnan area to make a profit, and even the salt tickets in Liu Tai's hands might be able to circulate along the way.

After all, as long as it is a top-level person, he basically knows that fighting is fighting money, and the status of businessmen in this era is low, but as long as it is a family, who has not had a few white gloves, Chu Yu still knows the importance of the mutual market.

For Liu Tai, he is even more eager to be able to carry out mutual markets.

Because Liu Tai understands very well that in this era, his real ability to form a dimensionality reduction strike is his own force, or his own art of war, no!

It is the commodity frenzy brought about by industrialization that he has seen in the era of rampant finance, and the power of commodities and money is Liu Tai's absolute ability to reduce the dimensionality of other forces.

Therefore, at this moment, Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's ridicule, and replied calmly: "Thirty thousand soldiers really hurt his vitality, if there is no mutual market, I doubt that he can be supported under Xu Gong with the support of Sima Rui."

He naturally knew that whether there were traps or not, the most important thing was for him to survive first. ”

"If he continues to confront Xu Gong, will it affect the sale of our goods over there?" Gou Xi hesitated.

Liu Tai replied calmly:

"It's good to pry it open, if it's basic materials, the more these things are fighting, the more scarce they become, and there is no shortage of objects for sale.

And like our crystal fine salt, which is pure and white, it will definitely take the upper route, and it will not be affected by the war!

It's like the original Shu brocade, selling is quality, selling is extravagant! ”

Today, you don't have to wait
