Not long after Liu Tai returned to Guanggu City, Chu Yu quickly came to see Liu Tai with a letter.

"Duke Ming, Zu Ti has retreated, and Shi Le led the main force to attack and merge the state!" Chu Yi briefly said what was in the information.

Liu Tai took the information and began to look seriously.

This war, which was initiated by Liu Kun, began with the autumn harvest and ended completely in the depths of winter, and even to some extent, it did not violate the agricultural time.

Liu Kun took the lead, although he hit Shangdang County, among which the red-blooded cavalry led by Qi Hong reached Yong'an, as long as he crossed Yong'an, he could attack Pingyang, the capital of the Xiongnu Han State, but in the end he was short of food and grass and chose to retreat.

Qi Hong led the elite red-blooded cavalry in the end, and when Qi Hong himself should make a decision, he can always make a decision.

This allows Qi Hong to play a good effect every time, whether he is attacking or retreating.

But Qi Hong's soldiers also knew the character of their general, which made the Red Blood Cavalry afraid that he would become an outcast when he fell into a stalemate war, so he didn't dare to fight to the death, and he was only willing to contribute seven points of strength each time, and there were three points to keep for escape.

Because of this, Qi Hong's attack or retreat is very exciting, but the stalemate is often not good.

Like this time, Liu Cang defended Qi Hong, although Qi Hong surrounded the point to send reinforcements once, but after Liu Cang and Yong'an's troops converged, there was basically only a stalemate time left for garbage, and Qi Hong felt that something could not be done and retreated.

However, Qi Hong's retreat was quite good, and the retreat of Liu Kun's headquarters was much more decent in comparison.

Although Liu Yao has a bit of parallel import taste compared with Liu Tai and Shi Le, he is also experienced in the end, and he has eaten all the way to one of the three major generals of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms under the command of the Great Army.

Even if he was beaten by Liu Kun at the beginning, when Shi Le took the main force to directly attack Jinyang, so that Liu Kun sent Tuoba Yilu's Xianbei cavalry to the rescue, Liu Yao seized the opportunity to counterattack.

For Liu Yao, he is not afraid of you Liu Kun, he is only afraid of Tuoba Yilu's Xianbei cavalry, and now Tuoba Yilu is not there, Liu Yao said that today Lao Tzu led the army to kill indiscriminately.

In fact, at that time, the situation was not only used by Liu Yao to fight, but Shi Le actually only tempted Liu Kun to divide his troops, and after confirming that Liu Kun really divided his troops, he directly led the main force to kill Liu Kun.

Under the attack from both sides, Liu Kun is not a famous general who can change his life against the sky, he can only be defeated, and there is not one soldier out of ten.

However, Liu Kun's escape ability is absolutely first-class, but I don't know if there is a genetic factor in it.

At least let Liu Kun flee back to Jinyang with the remnants of his defeated army and join Tuoba Yilu, and at the same time Qi Hong also returned with his cavalry, which made Shi Le and Liu Yao, who had won the battle, still quite jealous in the end.

Whether it is Shi Le or Liu Yao, although they feel that Liu Kun is troublesome, it is Tuoba Yilu who really makes them feel a headache.

If he is not eliminated, even if he defeats Liu Kun, it is not easy to kill Liu Kun completely.

The Xianbei cavalry crisscrossing the grassland has only been truly defeated by Liu Tai so far.

As for Liu Yao and Shi Le, if they can defeat the Xianbei cavalry, they will not let Liu Kun live so chic.

In the face of the Xianbei cavalry, Shi Le and Liu Yao tacitly glanced at each other, but they still chose to retreat by taking advantage of the winter snow.

This time, the third Changping Battle against the Xiongnu Han State set off by Liu Kun came to a complete end.

Liu Kun did his best to contain the main force of the Xiongnu Han State and the main force of Shi Le, and created a feat of subduing Luoyang for the southern ancestors, but with the return of the power of the Xiongnu Han State, Liu Yao still quickly captured this Luoyang.

However, Zu Ti did not suffer too much, he had a face-to-face with the Wubao forces on the side of the Yellow River, and he was a familiar face, and after returning to Yuzhou, he put down the rebellion and reorganized the army, and began to reintegrate the Jin forces south of the Yellow River.

It's just that maybe it's because Zu Li's vision and strategy and ability to seize opportunities are a little too terrifying, so Sima Rui arranged for Dai Yuan to assassinate Sizhou, mainly to use Zu Li's soldiers to collect the land of the Jin Dynasty and supervise Zu Li's rights.

It can only be said that this time Zu Ti has taken over the old capital, so he has swiped a wave of prestige, and because of this, let Wang Dao and Sima Rui know that Zu Ti is really the number one person, since he is a character, he naturally has to find a way to monitor or check and balance.

In addition, in this report, it is mentioned that there was a special group of troops in Shile's army who recited Buddhist scriptures and did not hesitate to die.

Liu Tai looked at the piece of information, couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and said, "Immediately notify the main officers to have a meeting with Wenchen." ”

"Obey!" When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he immediately answered.

In fact, not long after, the main officials in Qingzhou, such as Liu Ming, Zhou Ping, Ge Xinyu Yao, or important civil ministers, Chu Yi, Yang Man, Xi and others also came to this conference hall.

As for Cao Wei and Zhang Song, one of them is dealing with the Grand Canal, the other is developing Jizhou, but they are not in Qingzhou at the moment.

Liu Tai showed this information to everyone else, and then said:

"I called everyone here today to say what everyone thinks about this big battle and speak freely."

"I'm just wondering, with Liu Yao and Shi Le's strength and morale at that time, they should be at the peak, right? Why don't you kill Liu Kun directly under Jinyang. Zhou Ping was a little puzzled and said, "Then the ratio of soldiers and pawns on both sides, as long as you push flat, you will win!" ”

"Liu Yao thought so at the beginning, but as a result, Xianbei Tuoba Yilu was pushed flat, leaving a shadow!"

Liu Tai looked at the battle report and laughed, and continued: "And Shi Le knows the importance of advancing and retreating, you can do your duty when you fight, and Shi Le will not drop the chain, but Liu Yao definitely wants Shi Le to take the lead, then Shi Le will only play tricks!" ”

"Is Tuoba Yilu so strong?" Zhou Ping was a little excited at the moment.

"Anyone who has never been defeated will feel a little uneasy in his heart!" Liu Tai shook his head and said,

"That's the case with Tuoba Yilu, and I think the rest of the people are the same with us."

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone nodded one after another, if it weren't for Liu Tai's constant victory and undefeat all the way, how could he almost shout that he was going to rebel, but Liu Cong just chose to turn a blind eye and pinch his nose to continue to maintain the unity of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

"Please also point the general in one direction, otherwise if we discuss like this, there will be no result!" Chu Yi said.

"Shile!" Liu Tai pointed to Yecheng on the map, and said quite seriously, "Anyway, this is Shi Le's army, which has brightened his family background, we need to analyze it in detail, and we can start in the future!" ”

"Do you have more details?" Yu Yao couldn't help frowning when he looked at the news, "Especially for this Buddha soldier?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Liu Tai said to Yu Yao, and then said to the attendant beside him.

Soon the chamberlain sent over with a large amount of intelligence information, and Liu Tai said, "This is the information you want." ”

Everyone present saw the information sent by Liu Tai, and everyone was more or less surprised.

For Liu Tai, there was no surprise at all, because his financial penetration of Shile had reached a certain level, and Zhang Bin was quite jealous of his control of Shile's basic materials such as salt and cloth, but he did not know his true purpose.

Now Shile only occupies half of Jizhou, although he occupies the land north of the Yellow River to the south, it can be regarded as a state of land, especially the salt-producing land fell into Shile's hands, so that he has his own salt and is not controlled by himself.

The problem is that the use of tidal energy and salt drying method for salt development is the most output, the cost is low, and it relies on absolute geographical advantages.

Even if Shi Le could learn the technique of salt drying method, in the end, he could get such a wide range of tidal flats, could he have enough manpower comparable to tidal energy? If you can't do it, the cost of salt production will be higher than your own.

And with the opening of the Salt Hall, all kinds of basic materials in Liu Tai naturally circulated to the Shile territory, especially the establishment of a daily department store next to the Salt Hall, as long as the salt ticket of the Salt Hall is used, then the store is recognized.

In this way, his salt ticket has already gained preliminary recognition in the territory of Schle.

At this time, for Liu Tai's spy personnel, if they want to find out the news, they just stuff the salt ticket.

Compared with things like gold and silver, salt tickets are more hidden and easy to hide, so when you need to exchange them, you can go directly to the salt hall to exchange them.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you are really targeted by Shi Le, you are also a rich man with a salt ticket and escaping to the realm of Liu Tai.

Therefore, in the face of Liu Tai's salt ticket strategy, many of Shi Le's subordinates chose to accept it.

Not only Shi Le, but even Gou Xi also accepted his own salt hall in Xuzhou.

But these are not important, the most important thing is that for the scouts under Liu Tai, there is no need to use their lives to find out any news, salt tickets open the way, go directly to Shile's subordinates to buy news, and start an intelligence business generously.

To tell the truth, Shi Le, Zhang Bin and others knew that Liu Tai was behind this intelligence business.

But because he hadn't yet come to fight with Liu Tai, he only arranged for his own people to go in, and let him go to the top step by step to find out the personnel of this intelligence transaction.

By the way, you can also arrange some fake news to go in, maybe it can make Liu Tai make a wrong judgment!

Wait until one day to turn your face with Liu Tai, and then directly pull out this stronghold of intelligence trading.

But for Liu Tai, he really doesn't care, and this stronghold of intelligence trading will be pulled out.

His real purpose was to ensure that the salt stamps could circulate smoothly in Shile, and in order to disguise this, what salt dumping, what cloth monopoly, what intelligence organization, one after another was true but covered with his true purpose.

Liu Tai will not deliberately emphasize that there must be such a thing as a salt ticket to remind Zhang Bin.

He also collects gold and silver, silk and cloth, and even grain, so it is not surprising that salt stamps are also collected.

And it is precisely under such a means of opening the way for money, although his subordinates do not have that kind of top spy talents, but relying on the collection of a large amount of information, Shile can collect a lot of information by himself.

But these intelligence collections are collected, and if you want to confirm whether they are correct or not, you often need Shi Le to come up with the real things, so that the spy personnel under his command can in turn piece together the real information in the intelligence, which can be regarded as hindsight!

"Buddha Tucheng is a Buddhist master who was introduced to Shi Le by Diao Ying, and the Buddha soldier is an attempt by Shi Le!" Liu Tai looked at this information and said.

"This kind of Buddha soldier feels even more terrifying than the elite we have cultivated through Hanshu!" Yu Yao couldn't help frowning and said,

"In terms of intelligence, these Buddhist soldiers are completely capable of treating death as if they were at home on the battlefield and completely disregarding their own lives.

Even our non-commissioned officers can't do this, so we need to be careful that they spread this way to the whole army! ”

Liu Tai heard Yu Yao's words and smiled, "When I came today, my left eye kept jumping!" ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but Yang Yu opened his mouth and said:

"Zhou Yijie's left eye is a green dragon, which means that he is full of vitality, and I believe that good things will happen to the general in the near future."

"Then my right eye has been jumping for the past few days, will there be a calamity?" Liu Tai couldn't help laughing.

"The general is where the luck of the Han family lies, when all the evils are easy to dispel, where will the disaster come from!" Yang Yu hurriedly said.

Everyone was a little stunned at this time.

And Liu Tai heard Yang Yu's words, and smiled at everyone:

"Although the people do not read much, we treat the gods mostly for our own benefit.

I don't think there's anything wrong with converting the Han people to this Buddhism, but I don't believe that if you want to make the Han people believe in it, and even promote the Buddhist soldiers to the whole army.

Belief in this kind of thing, as long as loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal! ”

"What the lord said makes sense!" Zhou Ping nodded approvingly.

"The people of the Han family should not be deceived by this, but what about the alien race, the alien race will be deceived to some extent!" Yu Yaodao.

Hearing Yu Yao's words, everyone present couldn't help frowning.

To tell the truth, Shi Le's basic plate is of an alien race, and if such a group of Buddhist soldiers appears among the alien races, everyone feels that they will have a headache if they want to defeat Shi Le.

Liu Tai shook his head calmly and said, "You regard them as Taiping Dao, and the one who can become a Buddhist soldier is probably the Yellow Turban Warrior."

Even if there were thirty-six Taiping Dao at the beginning, there were only so many Yellow Turban wrestlers, not to mention the miscellaneous beards under Shi Le.

And it must be said that the Buddhism that Buddha Tucheng explained is fundamentally different from the position of authority held by Shile.

If it is only a small-scale cooperation, it will not be able to see anything, but if it is really promoted to the whole army, they are afraid that they will have to compete for power and profit internally.

On the contrary, our nationalism is compatible with all of our dreams.

I want to restore China, revive the Han Dynasty, and let my Han people regain their position on the top of the world. ”

"We will work together with the lord to revive the Han Dynasty and restore China until death!" Chu Yi was the first to react!

"I'm the same!" Several generals couldn't say Chu Yu's words, and saluted Liu Tai one after another, and the others followed suit.

"Excuse me." Liu Tai stopped everyone from continuing to salute in front of everyone, and said,

"So there may be these Buddha soldiers, but there will definitely not be many of them.

Even if their will is like iron and their faith is like steel in this war department, then we can just use real steel to deal with it at that time, isn't the steel filling method that Ge Hong came up with waiting for them here! ”

Everyone showed a malicious smile at this moment, and the solemn atmosphere was swept away.
