Chapter 221: The Tuoba Tribe
In Qingzhou at this moment, after reading everyone's report, Liu Tai summoned Ge Xin, took the documents submitted by Ge Xin last time, and said:
"You wrote very well this time, take your headquarters army to Youzhou!"
"Huh? Yes! When Ge Xin heard this, he couldn't help jumping up and said, "Ming Gong, did Xin make any mistakes?" Why did you drive me to that wild place in Youzhou! ”
"What are you talking about?" Liu Tai was stunned and said, "You wrote Lunce yourself, you want to form a cavalry, there is a horse farm in Youzhou, I plan to turn the two legs of your troops into six legs!" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Ge Xin couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, because it was copied according to the Lunce given by Liu Ming and Zhou Ping, so Ge Xin had a rather shallow impression of what he wrote, and finally came back to his senses at this moment.
And Liu Tai naturally knew that Ge Xin invited Zhou Ping and Liu Ming to dinner, but he also understood that Zhou Ping and Liu Ming more or less wanted to pull Ge Xin along.
Because of the four major generals under Liu Tai at the beginning, Liu Ming gradually became the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he was regarded as Liu Tai's most trusted person, Zhao Anduo was responsible for the battlefield behind enemy lines, and had the right to open up a second battlefield, or the battlefield dictatorship.
As for Zhou Ping, although this guy is inconspicuous, he gradually became the commander of the large army in Liu Tai's army.
The only one is Ge Xin, who was in charge of a headquarters at the beginning, and now he is in charge of the headquarters as well.
And Zhou Ping is developing more and more towards the command of a professional army, so he gradually understands the importance of multi-arm cooperation.
Forget about other troops, but if a noble class like cavalry is taken advantage of by outsiders, it will be too much of a loss.
Therefore, in the suggestion of this concert, the suggestion of using cavalry against cavalry to balance the Shile cavalry was added to Ge Xin's duet.
After all, the army's heavy cavalry could not be used to engage in such a thing as dogfighting, and this should either be solved by the light cavalry or the turquoise cavalry, but no matter what, Ge Xin could successfully become a cavalryman.
And this cavalry is for Liu Yao, who masters the heavy cavalry, he naturally can't lack horses, but the heavy cavalry itself determines that the number of heavy cavalry in Liu Yao's army cannot be large.
Even now, the number of Liu Yao's heavy cavalry has reached 1,000, but these 1,000 heavy cavalry have two horses as backups, and two light cavalry as auxiliaries, not to mention the massive investment required for the heavy cavalry.
All in all, the heavy cavalry of 1,000 people directly ate most of the war horses after they defeated Wang Jun.
Just like this, Zhao An didn't have many horses to supplement the cavalry of his headquarters at the beginning, if he hadn't made a deal with Liu Kun, it would not be Ge Xin's turn to form an army today, but he would have to let Zhao An replenish the horses first.
There is no way, compared to the literati, there is no first, and the martial artists speak much more neatly between them, that is, first look at their respective merits, and if the merits are not much different, then look at the qualifications of the army.
No matter what Liu Yao's position was at the beginning, or the incredible power of the heavy cavalry when it first appeared on the battlefield, it is undeniable that Liu Yao is the greatest merit in defeating Wang Jun, and he naturally enjoys the best treatment.
Of course, it is precisely because of the rise of generals like Liu Tai that the veterans under Liu Tai have a sense of crisis more or less.
They are not afraid that Liu will pull the bias, but they are afraid that even if Liu Taila is biased, they will not be able to win.
Liu Tai naturally understands that it is normal for the soldiers under his command to be a saint or a saint, and it is very normal for them to have a little bit of caution among themselves, as long as it does not affect the implementation of the strategy.
Moreover, Liu Tai thought about letting Ge Xin's army train into turist cavalry, but there was not much opposition in the end.
Because he definitely needs the cavalry to balance Shile's cavalry, since someone needs to take on this position, then why don't you let Ge Xin, who has always followed him, take on it, at least I believe that he is willing to be responsible and willing to work hard!
And to be able to do these two things, Liu Tai felt that as long as Ge Xin did not fall, he would definitely become the pillar general of the Turquoise cavalry.
"After you get there, I will let Wang Yi become your army, he is familiar with the situation in Youzhou, and he is also familiar with the alien races in Youzhou, you can train the troops while cleaning up the alien races, and train an elite for me!" Liu Taidao.
"Yes!" Ge Xin replied to Liu Tai quite excitedly when he heard Liu Tai's words.
Li Tai nodded, and then continued: "In addition, there is a cattle farm we raise over there, and occasionally give the soldiers a tooth sacrifice to make the soldiers eat stronger, but don't let me know that there are ploughing cattle around you walking and falling to death in the future!" ”
"Okay, okay!" Ge Xin couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, it was obvious that Liu Tai had discovered that he had eaten cows.
It is impossible for Liu Tai to kill Ge Xin, who worked for him for a ploughing ox, but he should still need to mention Ge Xin.
After all, cattle are eaten by beef cattle, but if the cattle are ploughed, it will affect the spring ploughing next year.
Not long after Ge Xin left, Zhou Ping soon came to Liu Tai's side.
Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping and said, "I've read your arguments, do you think that compared to wearing scale armor and wrapping the soldiers into iron lumps, relatively speaking, the army needs a more professional army?" ”
"The minister only thinks that although there is a new process, there is a lot of steel production, but there are also a lot of places where it is also used, at least the arrows of the soldiers are now pursuing armor-piercing arrows, and even the weapons have been replaced with new steel-making weapons, and if you want to arm all the soldiers with scale armor, it is still a large scale, and this change of clothing can not be completed in a year or two" Zhou Ping shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words, but he was thoughtful.
"First select the wrestlers to form one or two pure heavy infantry, and wrap the whole body with heavy armor, just like the ability of heavy cavalry to finish on the battlefield, we need an army that has always had the ability to break the formation on the battlefield!" Zhou Ping said.
"Do you want to recreate Wei Wushu?" When Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words, he couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Ping shook his head at Liu Tai and said, "I just want to reproduce the Three Rivers and Five Schools of Dahan." ”
"Infantry Battalion, Changshui Battalion, Shooting Sound Battalion, Yue Cavalry Battalion, Tun Cavalry Battalion?" Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words and couldn't help but say.
"If the general allows, there are also barriers, Hu Qi, and the three colonels of Huben!" Zhou Ping said to Liu Tai very seriously.
When Liu Tai heard this, he couldn't help but think about it, and said, "If you want to reproduce the five schools of Sanhe, I don't object to it, but this thing can't be copied all at once, how do you want to start?!" ”
"First of all, I armed a 6,000-strong armor soldier and a barrier army with 100 steel, which was used to maintain the army formation on the battlefield or to break the army.
The second is the sound of shooting, which uses the arrows of the sound to cover the heavily armed barrier army, which can target a large number of targets.
Of course, there are also craftsmen who need to unleash and research a large number of Tension Crossbows to strike any more valuable targets.
As for the cavalry, let's wait until our cavalry is more complete and then incorporate into it! Zhou Ping said his thoughts to Liu Tai.
"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded when he heard Zhou Ping's thoughts and said, "Your idea is good, and first go and select personnel to build the barrier camp, the Changshui camp, and the shooting sound camp by yourself, as for the generals of the later military camp, I will help you find them!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Ping nodded excitedly when he heard Liu Tai's words.
Liu Tai did not reject Zhou Ping's idea, he wanted to reproduce the five schools of Sanhe, and first see how effective Zhou Ping's tactics were in building the first three battalions.
At the beginning, there will definitely be no checks and balances, after all, Liu Tai needs Zhou Ping to give it a try, whether the model of the Three Rivers and Five Schools has been eliminated, and if it is confirmed that this model is really useful, then he naturally still has to check and balance.
After all, he believed in Zhou Ping, but it was impossible to let Zhou Ping build an army wantonly.
When the strength of the military reaches a certain level, it will definitely need to be checked and balanced, even if this one thing may weaken Zhou Ping's overall efficiency, but it is better than pure trust.
Compared with Ge Xin and Zhou Ping, Liu Ming's requirements are much simpler, and he feels that Liu Tai's personal guards should be further strengthened.
Not to mention, the 100-smelting steel forged by the steel-filling method must be used first in Liu Tai's army.
It can be said that this countermeasure, as far as the military is concerned, is reasonable to increase its own armaments.
Some want to be transferred to cavalry, some want to play multi-class matching, and some want to be wrapped in tin cans.
Liu Tai couldn't help sighing, when he didn't come up with the steel filling method, he lacked 100 steel, and now that he has made the steel filling method, he still feels that there is a lack everywhere.
Not to mention, I also want to take out this steel to make farming tools for the people, so that it will be easier for the people to plough the land.
But the poor have the thrift, the rich have the rich usage, and now everyone knows that the steel filling method has improved the forging quality and speed of iron to a higher level, and who doesn't want to get some steel!
Therefore, Liu Taidu was not happy for long, and he fell into the matter of how to allocate steel production capacity.
After all, you can't suffer the people again, and invest all your steel in the military.
In Liu Tai's opinion, he can't fight with his surroundings in a short period of time, after all, Liu Kun has come with such a big wave, which makes Liu Kun's surrounding forces lick their wounds at home and restore their capital.
Therefore, Liu Tai judged that at least next year, I am afraid that this war will not be able to fight Alai, and he thinks that it is better to invest in productivity for these continuous production of steel.
Needless to say, if the people can plough a few more acres of land, they will be able to divide a few more grains in the future when they fight.
In addition to this, the North Canal, which they are digging, also needs to update the tools in their hands.
It can only be said that whether to choose armaments or development is a difficult decision for those in higher positions.
Because there are so many resources, if you give more to some areas, you will have less for others.
And at this moment, in the area west of Youzhou, Tuoba Yilu is receiving the canonization of the angels of the Jin court.
The angel of the Jin court first sneaked to Bingzhou, met Liu Kun, and had Liu Kun as a guarantor, and then played his angel honor guard and came to the Tuoba tribe.
At this moment, the Jin court officially named Tuoba Yilu as the acting king, allowing Tuoba Yilu to use Daijun and Changshan County as food estates, and divided the subordinate bureaucracy, so that Tuoba Yilu had considerable rights at least nominally.
It's just that although Daijun is in the hands of Tuoba Yilu, Changshan County is in the hands of Shile, and the purpose of the Jin court is naturally to hope that Tuoba Yilu will continue to follow Shile and give the Jin court enough time for development.
When Tuoba Liuxiu saw this angel leaving, he said to Tuoba Lu:
"This Jin court has given us some false names, and it is not as good as the golden gold and soft brocade given by the Han Dynasty.
What does he mean by giving us Changshan County, he doesn't want us to fight hard with Shile, so what's the difference! ”
Tuoba Yilu heard Tuoba Liuxiu's words, and couldn't help but scold, "What do you know, gold and silver will run out, brocade will be broken, only this land is the most down-to-earth."
Even if the Jin court only gave us these lands in name, our Xianbei cavalry will make these nominal lands belong to us forever! ”
Tuoba Liuxiu couldn't help but shout: "Father, you are a goshawk-like hero, why do you always listen to Liu Kun's words."
The Jin court has long been destroyed by the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and even Liu Kun himself is just an old dog who has fallen to the border.
And we have to obey Liu Kun's orders and waste the blood of the Xianbei warriors on the hands of the Jin people in vain, I really don't understand! ”
Tuoba Yilu said: "What do you know! Although the Jin court was defeated, it was not destroyed, and characters like Liu Kun emerged in endlessly.
Do you think that if we rebel, the Huns' Liu Cong will look down on us? Hehe, it's not for Liu Cong to be a dog.
Now that the Jin court is weak and the Huns are strong, the Jin court will give whatever we want, as long as it is digested, it is our Xianbei heritage. ”
"But the Jin court has been destroyed by the Xiongnu Han State, their reinforcements will never arrive here, as long as the Xiongnu Han Kingdom wants to send troops to us, then our tribe must migrate, the north has long become a world of ice and snow, we have no way out!" Tuoba Liuxiu said to Tuoba Yilu.
"Hmph, I just thought you were short-sighted, but I didn't expect you to have no courage!"
Tuoba Yilu heard Tuoba Liuxiu's words and scolded, "Give me back to your own camp for some introspection."
Whether it's Liu Cong or Shi Le, it's not that we're afraid of them, it's that they're afraid of our Xianbei cavalry! Get lost! ”
Tuoba Liuxiu faced Tuoba Yilu's reprimand, but he couldn't stay any longer, so he could only reluctantly take a few steps back and withdraw from the camp.
Outside the tent, I happened to see Mo Han who came to deliver documents to Tuoba Yilu.
Tuoba Liuxiu was even more annoying when he saw this Jin person, and when he passed by, he directly kicked Mo Han, kicked him to the ground with all the things in his hands, and left with a snort.
Mo Han turned his head and glanced at Tuoba Liuxiu, lowered his head and picked up the documents one by one again, and sent them to Tuoba Yilu's camp.
