Liu Tai waited for Zhao An's arrival at the mouth of the canal in Linzi.

To be honest, Liu Tai originally thought that after he gave the order, Zhao An would immediately take a boat south from Jinkou, and then meet him here in Linzi.

But unexpectedly, this guy went directly to forcibly expropriate the sheep under Liu Han's jurisdiction, smoked it into mutton strips, and went south as a grain reserve.

To be honest, these muttons are ready to be reproduced in the future.

With the replacement of nomadic herding by animal husbandry, it is not necessary to see that there are only 20,000 heads raised now, but as long as they are raised for a few years, then mutton will almost be able to enter the landed class, at least no longer to eat meat during the New Year's holidays, but to eat a bite a month.

As a result, Zhao An was not polite.

However, he chose to kill sheep instead of cattle, which at least shows that Zhao An is still sensible, and the next thing is to see that he has not missed the deadline.

It's easy to say anything if you don't miss the deadline, but if you miss the deadline, then this matter will be recorded in a small notebook and settled later.

And soon, Liu Tai saw the Chinese character flag fluttering on the fleet, in addition to this Chinese character flag, it was the Tian character flag fluttering.

Liu Tai arranged for Tian Yu to pick up Zhao An, after all, before the war began, it was very important to reduce the unnecessary loss of horses, and seeing Tian Yu's fleet coming along the way, Liu Tai had a satisfied smile on his face.

Tian Yu and Zhao An also came down from this fleet, and Liu Tai obviously saw that Zhao An's lips were white and his eyes were blank, and he acted as if his body was shaking, and as if he was holding his body.

However, Zhao An still came to Liu Tai step by step and said, "The entire army of the Youzhou Front reports to the king. ”

With Zhao An's words, he sent the tiger talisman in Zhao An's hand and merged it with the tiger talisman in Liu Tai's hand.

Liu Tai nodded, but at this moment, looking at Zhao An's appearance, he said loudly: "Return to the barracks, rest for the time being, reply as soon as possible, and when the news of Yongji Qutong is delivered, we will send troops to the Jin Court." ”

"Obey!" After Zhao An saluted Liu Tai, his expression couldn't help but fall slightly.

Liu Tai looked at Zhao An's appearance and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" Scrapped your body in the north?! ”

"It's the boat rocking and shaking, and I'm not used to it for days! I always feel very unstable under my feet. Zhao An also spit bitterness on Liu Tai, "I'm fine, but some of my soldiers can't help but vomit." ”

Liu Tai shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Now I know that it is not easy for Tian Yu to lead the troops!" ”

"Don't boast, don't boast!" Tian Yu smiled and said, "What skills do I have, but practice makes perfect!" ”

"Lao Tian, you are getting more and more harmonious now, but you don't look like a legend who stirred up the storm at the beginning!" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"Harmony is good, harmony makes money!" Tian Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "All the things that are fought and killed will be handed over to Kan'er, and I will take care of the materials, and give Kan'er a few more younger brothers in the future!" ”

"In the future, if you fight the Xianbei Murong tribe, you still need to suppress the formation, just don't collapse your body!" Liu Tai said calmly.

"The king also knows about Murong Xianbei?!" When Tian Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he was a little surprised.

Liu Tai said: "Isn't it that there are a few guys who don't do it well, but they have to stay in the Murong tribe."

Then keep it, after all, the land of Liaodong has been the land of our Han Dynasty since ancient times, if it wasn't for the Jin court, how could it be occupied by foreign races! ”

In the Yongjia Rebellion at the beginning, many scholars fled to the Xianbei tribe, and Murong Hao of the Xianbei tribe was also heroic, and a generation of outstanding people settled these scholars.

Now that he is holding high the banner of the Great Han, these guys not only do not want to return to the arms of the Great Han, but they are also working hard to help Murong Xianbei to carry out sinicization, so as to strengthen Murong Xianbei's heritage, and they are very dissatisfied with the king.

Liu Tai has nothing to say about this.

This kind of behavior will indeed make Murong Xianbei strong, but in the same way, when he can defeat Murong Xianbei, he will receive Murong Xianbei, at least there will be no conflict in the cultural system.

To be honest, this is a bit like the current stick country, because everything is stolen, everything is said to be their own, stealing one or two things naturally makes people feel disgusting, but everything is stolen from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and in the end, I am afraid that I will lose myself.

Therefore, for Murong Xianbei to sinicize with the help of these scholars, Liu Tai is naturally very welcome.

Now they don't have the value of letting themselves send troops to conquer, but if they complete the sinicization by themselves, they don't even need to train themselves, and the Xianbei population turns Hu into Han, then the value of Murong Xianbei itself is worth fighting by themselves.

But now, I am spiritually with them, as pure as supporting Ze Sheng, and I sincerely hope that Murong Hao will succeed!

And now that he is in Linzi, he did not go to Taishan County, and the most important point is that because the mountains and hills in the north of Linzi are blocked, Gou Xi went to fight Xu Niche again, so the news that he gradually gathered heavy troops in Linzi can be hidden as much as possible.

At the same time, at this time, Wang Sang made a move north of Xingyang, and Zhou Fu gathered north of dawn.

After all, with such a large-scale personnel dispatch, it is impossible to completely conceal the front-line generals.

And whether it was Li Ju or Zu Yue, they were also worried in their hearts, because they sent letters asking for help to the imperial court, because they knew very well that they could only defend the city in the face of Liu Tai.

But to what extent it can be defended, and whether it can be defended, depends on how much support the Jin Ting behind it gives him.

Zu Yue preached to Huan, "The imperial court didn't reply, didn't Yuzhou reply either?" ”

"Dai Thorn Shi was recruited back to Jiankang by the imperial court when Wang Dun raised his army, and a lot of Yuzhou soldiers were also taken by him, and now Yuzhou really can't send troops to support, even if there is, you have to rescue the imperial court first!" Huan preached.

"Damn!" When Zu Yue heard Huan Xuan's words, he couldn't help but slap the city wall fiercely, and said angrily,

"The Han Dynasty obviously heard the rumors of Wang Dun's army, so he sent soldiers to deploy in the Yellow River, if the imperial court does not quell Wang Dun's rebellion, and when Liu Tai attacks, I am afraid that I will be isolated!"

"Now there is no point in complaining, we can only block the Han army as much as possible according to the arrangement left over from the ancestral chariot and cavalry, and support the reinforcements of the Jin court." Huan Xuan said with a serious expression.

Zu Yue was also helpless, and the same helpless as Zu Yue was Li Ju who was still in Xingyang.

Compared with Zu Yue, Li Ju's manpower has been transferred a lot, although the vast majority of those people are people who are not strong-willed, but fewer people are hard injuries.

However, Li Ju also earned a lot of money and food by exchanging markets with Liu Tai, but he let the armor of his subordinates at least achieve the leather armor of the whole army, of course, if those people did not leave, Li Ju would not be able to equip the whole army.

Even so, when he saw Wang Sang's army gathering in Ji County, stopping the mutual market step by step, and establishing sentry posts, Li Ju understood that this war was about to begin, and he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it anyway.

At this time, Zhang Song sent a messenger, holding high the "one cloth with water, the sun and the moon are the same sky." The silk banner came to envoy Li Ju.

In any case, if the Xingyang issue can be resolved peacefully, it will not be a loss to Zhang Song, and the most important thing is that it would be better if Li Ju killed this envoy, then the Han will naturally stand on the moral high ground.

When Zhang Song sent this messenger out, he didn't think that this messenger would come back alive, so he unceremoniously promised this messenger a lot, and he was ready to use his head to give a buff to the whole army of the Han Dynasty.

But Zhang Song didn't know Li Ju, or rather, Li Ju was a rare benevolent general in the entire Jin court.

For example, when the world was in turmoil, starvation was everywhere, and the plague was rampant, there was a group of thieves who were wreaking havoc in the Sizhou area, and Li Ju's subordinates defeated them, and obtained the woman who came back from the thieves.

Even if Liu Tai is replaced, these women are afraid that they will find ways to stuff the soldiers under their command so that they can have a stable home.

After all, the ultimate unit of Liu Tai's government military system is the family, which determines the status of women, which is probably male + female = male + female.

This makes women seem to be selected by non-commissioned officers, but in fact these women still have a very high status in their own families, even if the soldiers are not at home, or die in battle, there is still an entire group of officers' families to protect the overall interests of military families.

In this process, because the soldiers go out all the year round, of course, there will be little white faces that seduce military families, or women who want to go out of the wall, and if the soldiers do not sacrifice, the punishment of the adulterer is determined by the soldiers, who want to kill and abolish it.

If the soldier has been killed in battle, then after reporting to the imperial court, he will receive a one-time pension, and then remove the military family.

If it is found that he has committed adultery with someone else, the pension will be cancelled and the military family members will be removed.

All in all, all the laws are mainly to protect the soldiers, and even after the soldiers are discharged, they are not subject to civil law, but to military law, and if these soldiers do not take over the official positions of the imperial court, they need to report to the government every year.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the military system that women have certain economic rights in the family, but even so, Liu Tai's army may not be regarded as respectful of women.

However, Li Ju chose to let go of those women's associations in their own nearby hometowns, and did not have the slightest idea of taking possession of women to the soldiers, which is really rare for the people to have benevolence.

Therefore, what Li Ju chose was to put back the envoy sent by Zhang Song.

And made it clear, if you want to attack, then come and attack, anyway, I, Li Ju, will not surrender.

Zhang Song can't help it at this moment, since Li Ju doesn't choose to surrender, then prepare for war.

Li Ju also watched as Wang Sang's troops on the other side were increasing, especially Su Jun's ships appeared on the waterway of the Yellow River.

At this moment, the Yellow River has re-entered the flood season, so the Han fleet has once again formed an absolute high degree of suppression of the riverbank defense facilities.

At the beginning, Zu Ti wanted to train a naval army on the Yellow River to compete with Liu Tai's army, but the problem was that the naval army was really not so easy to be born.

Up to now, Zu Ti has only prepared materials, and after Zu Ti died, the so-called sailor was even more lifeless, so he should have given up.

Li Ju sighed, and suddenly felt that everything was difficult, especially after the death of Zu Li, the pillar of optimus that supported the north, Li Ju felt this even more.

Dai Yuan's famous man, his ability to lead soldiers is not only worlds apart from Zu Li.

Not to mention, at this time, there was civil strife in the Jin court, and the Han Dynasty did not fight, but only gathered heavy troops to the border of the Yellow River, and one of the important reasons was that they were not sure whether Wang Dun was a rebellion.

Therefore, it is directly a test in the way of the assembly of the army, no matter what, Liu Tai's side has increased its troops, and the Jin court will also increase its troops to deal with it, and if the troops are not increased, then the Han will definitely not miss this opportunity.

As for traps or something, most of the Central Plains are flat, and the best way to deter Liu Tai is to have more troops than Liu Tai.

Otherwise, as long as Liu Tai's cavalry reaches the flat land of the Central Plains, then Guan Ling has any ambush, even if he can't beat it, can't he escape!

Therefore, when it is necessary to show its own strength, but it does not show its own strength, then Wang Dun's rebellion is afraid that it has been confirmed by Liu Tai, as for the messenger filmed by Liu Tai, it is a human life, why bother to kill it!

Just when Li Ju was thinking, the lord Bo Gouyuan next to him pointed to the wolf smoke rising from the opposite bank, but said with a solemn expression, "Look at the other side too much!" ”

Li Ju raised his head and looked at the rising wolf smoke, his expression couldn't help but become serious, but he said,

"This is obviously a signal that the other party has prepared in advance, let the whole city prepare for martial law, and let the soldiers all get ready!"

The generals beside Li Ju said decisively to Li Ju at this time, "Obey the order!" ”

Li Ju nodded, looking at Wang Sang on the other side, but he was also fearless, although he did not follow Dai Yuan to fight for rights, and even sent some people to Dai Yuan.

But it was this attitude of cooperation that allowed him to take back control of Xingyang, use the wealth from the mutual market, further arm the soldiers under his command, and re-recruit the displaced people, ready to fight.

If Liu Tai thinks that he is weak, then he will clearly see what kind of hard bone he is!

In contrast, Li Ju looked at the rising wolf smoke, but he knew very well that Liu Tai had obviously prepared for it, and this attack did not take his Xingyang as the focus of the attack at all, but the entire Yellow River, I am afraid that it will become Liu Tai's landing point!

"Let's hope that kid can resist it!" Li Ju can only hope that Zu Yue is worthy of his brother!

And Zu Yue also looked at the rising disgust, Huan Xuan beside him said, "The enemy army is strong, I will take the first step to garrison Gaoping, and we will resist at all levels, which can always buy time for Your Majesty and pacify Wang Dun!" ”

Zu Yue nodded, what else could Zu Yue say, he could only say, "Take care all the way!" ”
