Liu Tai is the one who followed Shi Le to kill from the bottom, so he knows very well that for people like himself, he doesn't believe in heaven or fate, he only believes in himself, and he is even willing to gamble all his chips for his own belief.

Because he is self-made, he is willing to stud, even if he really loses, he will firmly believe that he can make a comeback.

Therefore, Shi Le would agree to come over and surrender, but Liu Tai didn't believe a word anyway.

After Liu Tai came to Qinghe County, he asked Liu Ming to enter Qinghe County with 5,000 elites, and at the same time asked Liu Ming to make a plan to rely on Qinghe County to counterattack.

To be honest, Qinghe County was quite seriously infiltrated by Shile, and Liu Tai did not believe that Qinghe County could be easily garrisoned.

But for Liu Tai, his top strategy this time is naturally to directly kill Shi Le in one go, followed by to consume Shi Le's vital force as much as possible, and in the end, he will naturally only take Qinghe County, which originally belongs to him, and then attack Yecheng.

Compared with Yecheng, which was built by Shi Le, it was naturally best to consume all of Shi Le's living power in Qinghe County.

Liu Tai and his entourage took a boat and joined Zhou Ping along the ditches and tributaries, and it can only be said that Qinghe County has dredged a lot of ditches and ditches in order to do business with Liu Tai in recent years, which is of course conducive to Liu Tai's merchant ships and sailors.

Liu Tai said to Zhou Ping: "What is the situation, have the soldiers been arranged?" ”

"Ge Xin, Wei Xiong, and Zhang Ping have settled in nearby villages, and they have also taken control of these villages.

It is not difficult for our army to ensure that there is no movement of personnel for only one or two months! ”

Zhou Ping said, "If there is a signal beacon fire in Qinghe County, we will encircle Qinghe County in four ways." ”

Because Qinghe County is relatively close to himself, Zhou Ping is very clear about his policies.

The local people are not very supportive of themselves, but they are not very resistant, and if they choose to stay in the village for a month, they will definitely accept it, and of course if they don't accept it, they don't mind being evildoers.

In the final analysis, Liu Tai can be sure that there are spies arranged by Shi Le in Qingzhou County, but if these spies will go to the small villages around Qinghe County to investigate, it is too high to think of the spies of this era.

And Liu Tai also knew that he needed to force Shi Le a little.

After all, if you don't do anything and just wait for Shi Le to come over, it will be too different from your style.

Therefore, Liu Tai began to issue orders to the salt halls in Shile, so that these salt halls should run out of salt tickets and evacuate decisively.

The news was soon reported to Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin didn't feel anything at first when he saw the Salt Hall evacuated.

On the contrary, Zhang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, because Liu Tai's salt hall has always suppressed the development of the local salt industry with extremely low prices.

It's not that Zhang Bin doesn't want to develop, but Zhang Bin really doesn't understand that the price of his locally produced salt is actually half of the price of Liu Tai's sale, so how can he sell it.

The withdrawal of the salt hall, in Zhang Bin's view, was not only the worst preparation that Liu Tai had made, but also a small warning to Shi Le.

But soon, more and more people began to find him, asking why these salt halls were closed, why they were evacuated, and when they would return.

Zhang Bin immediately guaranteed that a new salt hall would come in and ensure that the salt would be exchanged, which made them breathe a sigh of relief and leave one after another.

But even so, this made Zhang Bin feel a little weird, and immediately began to investigate.

And the more Zhang Bin investigated, the more his eyes widened, especially when he hurriedly found his father, looked at his father holding a stack of salt tickets, and said in a slightly proud tone, "Our family's floating wealth is here, Bin'er, if you need it, take it first!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Bin's whole person softened and sat on the ground in a daze.

Zhang Bin, who has always compared himself to Zhang Liang, saw for the first time what it means to be in the midst of strategizing and settling a plan thousands of miles away.

Zhang Bin held these salt tickets in both hands and went to meet Shi Le in a daze.

Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin's ugly face, and couldn't help but say, "Why is Youhou looking so haggard, but he is not resting well?" ”

"Please treat Zhang Bin's crime, Liu Tai has a plan in Binzhong?!" Zhang Bin knelt in front of Shi Le and couldn't help but say.

"What are you doing here?!" Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin and hurriedly helped Zhang Bin up.

"The salt hall under Liu Tai's command has been evacuated from our county, and Bin made a big mistake and didn't intercept them!"

Zhang Bin couldn't help but close his eyes, even now Zhang Bin couldn't imagine how he could have such a plan.

"Liu Tai thought that the evacuation of the salt hall would make me wait for no salt to eat, when we allowed their salt hall to enter our county to sell, it was to prepare for this day, although our salt is a little more expensive, but after all, it can't be broken!" Shile said confidently.

When Zhang Bin heard Shi Le's words, he closed his eyes in pain, handed over the salt ticket in his hand, and said to Shi Le in a slightly trembling voice, "King, do you know what this is!?" ”

"Salt tickets." Shi Le looked at the salt ticket in Zhang Bin's hand and said, "It is convenient to use salt tickets for transactions between large households. ”

Shi Le couldn't help but be stunned after saying this, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Zhang Bin.

Shi Le himself said in a somewhat trembling tone, "How many people under our rule use this salt ticket?!" ”

"As long as you do business with Liu Tai, I'm afraid you have accumulated a lot of salt tickets in your hands." Zhang Bin smiled bitterly,

"As long as this salt ticket arrives in Qingzhou, it can really be used as money and food, and it is okay to buy a small amount of materials, but if you buy a large number of materials, all these salt tickets are used, and there are even many families who have exchanged their floating wealth for salt tickets!"

"How many families have done this?!" When Shi Le heard Zhang Bin's words, his hands and feet couldn't help but become cold at this moment.

"Anyone who has their own livelihood skills is not like this, if you really talk about it, I am afraid that there are seven or eight out of ten in the territory." Zhang Bin didn't expect that Liu Tai controlled Shile's economic lifeline through such hands and feet, which was unheard of.

"Our own salt farm, can we put these salt tickets on top!" Shi Le took a deep breath and said to Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "The salt tickets involved have exceeded 10,000 stones, and the most important thing is that it takes a very short time to take out so much salt for exchange, I suspect that even Liu Tai can't do it."

Moreover, before his salt hall left, he also used the salt ticket to make a lot of purchases, and there was a shortage of all kinds of materials in Yecheng.

I have asked neighboring states and counties to dispatch over, which can support for a short time, if you want to avoid trouble, you must send a large amount of materials from the outside world! ”

"Liu Tai!" Shi Le couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard Zhang Bin's words, originally he thought that Liu Tai was arrogant, so he was waiting for him to come to the door to surrender, but he didn't expect Liu Tai to force himself to surrender with such a single hand.

Obviously, Liu Tai is not sure whether he will surrender or not, but at this moment, after Liu Tai draws his salary from the bottom of the kettle, if he does not surrender, then his entire administrative system will inevitably be in turmoil.

When the time comes, if Liu Tai attacks himself, others Shi Le will not dare to guarantee it, but those families who have taken Liu Tai's salt ticket will not be able to believe it.

After all, if they want to exchange the money and grain in their hands, they need to get Liu Tai's consent first, otherwise as long as they are not recognized by Liu Tai, the salt tickets in their hands will become waste paper.

Shi Le couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was on guard against Liu Tai, thinking that he was ready for everything.

But in fact, Liu Tai extinguished his own thoughts, and he was afraid that he had actually laid an ambush before attacking Wang Jun.

He has endured until now, and he has endured until he can crusade against the Xiongnu Han State with a glorious and majestic posture before he makes a move against himself.

"Such Liu Tai, will he really let me go?!" Shi Le looked at the salt ticket in his hand and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

I don't regret killing Wang Mi Shile, after all, if you don't kill Wang Mi, Wang Mi will kill herself.

The only thing Shi Le regrets is that when Liu Tai fought Wang Jun at the beginning, he needed to kill Liu Tai desperately, otherwise, he was afraid that he might not be in today's predicament.

Shi Le took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Zhang Bin and said, "Is there a solution?" ”

"Defeat Liu Tai, kill Liu Tai, and snatch Liu Tai's salt field to solve this scheme!" Zhang Bin said solemnly,

"The news of our plan to surrender Liu Tai can be spread first, so that everyone knows that this is Liu Tai's plan, then before the general surrenders, this salt ticket system can be maintained, and at the same time, it can also make Liu Tai trust the king even more!"

Zhang Bin took a deep breath and said solemnly to Shi Le, "Liu Tai's method, strictly speaking, only makes the general have no chance of stalemate, not a complete defeat for the general, as long as he hits with one blow, kill Liu Tai, this plan is self-solved!" ”

Shi Le nodded, he finally felt the pressure he felt as Liu Tai's enemy.

All along, although he was Liu Tai's enemy, Liu Tai never took himself as his main target.

This made Shi Le occupy Yecheng and merge the state, and even confronted Liu Yao in Pingyang, Shi Le felt that he was getting stronger and stronger, and Liu Tai was not necessarily so terrifying.

But now that Liu Tai really dealt with himself, he first asked Yuan Yan to come over and know the reason, and then immediately withdrew from the salt hall to threaten him, and almost instantly, Shi Le felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Ten of the seven or eighth families under his command, not to mention their own clansmen, as long as they continue to follow them, then it is absolutely unrealistic for them to want to exchange the salt tickets in Liu Tai's hands.

At that time, how many people will be willing to follow him, to be honest, Shile really has no certainty.

And with so much wealth just gone, it is even more difficult for Scheller to imagine the magnitude of the catastrophe that would be caused.

For the first time, Shi Le found himself as if he had just seen the Han culture.

Shi Le took a deep breath and said to Zhang Bin, "Right Hou, is there any other way than to defeat Liu Tai?"

Liu Tai's ability to command the army, you and I are both clear, even if it is this crusade against Liu Tai, it is just a matter of survival.

So it's better to have a follow-up solution, if we can't defeat it, at least let us survive! ”

Zhang Bin was slightly stunned, but shook his head at Shi Le and said, "Please forgive Zhang Bin for being incompetent, there is really no solution to this plan!" ”

Shi Le felt tired and waved his hand to let Zhang Bin leave, but Shi Le immediately sent someone to inform Diao Ying.

Shi Le believed that Zhang Bin had no choice, but since Zhang Bin had no way, then he could only pin his trust on Diao.

After Diao Ying came, he heard what Zhang Bin had discovered, but his eyes widened.

Really, even Diao Ying didn't expect that Liu Tai would actually play such a big chess.

In these years, the cheesy thing of salt stamps given by others as bribes has actually become the sharpest dagger of the entire Shile regime at this moment.

Even Zhang Bin, who was overwhelmed, had no solution after discovering it!

Yes, what can Zhang Bin do, can he conjure a massive amount of salt out of thin air, or conjure up other materials that can be replaced?

In the face of the dead end in front of him, it is easy to say that he can defeat Liu Tai, but if he can't defeat Liu Tai, Shi Le feels that he doesn't even have the ability to stalemate with Liu Tai!

Diao Ying said, "Zhang Bin is the most hypocritical, and he knows some suggestions but doesn't dare to mention them.

The king, when the time comes, he can only use the wealth of the family to maintain the stability of the army.

After all, as long as you still have an army in your hands, you will have a chance to make a comeback! ”

Shi Le was slightly stunned when he heard Diao Ying's words, but he also understood that with Zhang Bin's wisdom, he would actually say that he had no choice.

It's very simple, this kind of plan to cut meat from the family to himself, how could Zhang Bin say it!

"Youhou is a member of a family, not a member of the Qiang clan!" Shi Le couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But listening to Diao Ying's words, Shi Le has some confidence in his heart, no matter what, he has been dominating the world for so long, and he can become a prince all the way, relying on thinking about his retreat before the war, so that he can have the capital to make a comeback in the future.

Liu Tai is indeed powerful, and as soon as he makes a move, he almost cut off all the back roads.

But Liu Tai's morality is still too high, and he considers himself as a Han person.

So I think that I have shown my strength and cut off my own back road, so that I will surrender obediently!

But who let you be Liu Tai, how can you believe you if you deal with yourself so deliberately!

"There's only one chance, there's only one chance!" Shile took a deep breath, but he was more lucid than ever.

"Shile only has this one chance!" Liu Tai sat on the boat and said calmly to Zhou Ping,

"With the help of food stamps, I cut off the possibility of Shile wanting to rely on the city to stalemate with us.

As long as we don't go back to the salt hall and don't exchange the salt tickets in the hands of the high-level people and the family, then these salt tickets will become waste paper, and the wealth belonging to the Shile forces will be plundered by us in this way.

But if they want to turn the waste paper into money again, it has to be used by us.

Therefore, if Shile does not want to have the capital to turn over, then Shile can only seize this opportunity! ”

Zhou Ping said with a look that I really didn't understand, but I was shocked, "Please rest assured, general, as long as Shi Le dares to come, I will definitely let Shi Le go this time and never return!" ”
