And as the wolf smoke gradually rose, both Wang Sang and Zhou Ping led the army to cross the Yellow River at this time.

Li Ju and Wang Sang exchanged markets, knowing the combat effectiveness of Liu Tai's naval army on the Yellow River during the flood season, and established a defense system twenty miles away from the Yellow River as early as possible.

And Zhou Ping crossed the Yellow River from Liyang, Zu Yue was also a person who understood, knowing that letting the northern army cross the Yellow River, under the advantage of war horses, it was almost unrealistic to win the opponent in the field, and even Liu Tai was afraid that he would like this kind of field battle to be attrition.

Because their large ranch has been successfully built, the number of horses slaughtered every year is rising.

Of the three major horse farms in China, Jin Ting has none of them, and the amount is ...... No, if Jin Ting is willing to do so, he can still raise Dian horses.

And Zu Yue was aware of his flaws, so he wanted to directly cross the river in Zhou Ping.

But as a result, Zhou Ping commanded Su Jun to cooperate with himself, first let Su Jun's strong crossbow on the ship wash the ground, and some wooden defense facilities were directly defeated, and then let Sun Wei of the barrier battalion lead the soldiers to charge all the way with large shields, and even shot covering arrows unceremoniously with the Changshui archers led by Liu Yin.

Because the fortress battalion was covered in scale armor, wore steel helmets, and even wore masks on their faces, the rain of arrows from their own side could not cause any damage at all.

But the soldiers under Zuyo's command, although they were also wearing leather armor, were not so armed to the teeth.

In the face of this kind of covering arrow attack regardless of his own soldiers, he could resist it at first, but after many times, his soldiers were directly shot into hedgehogs, as if he was as tragic as the nameless assassination of the Qin Emperor.

It can be said that as soon as the two sides fought each other, they directly killed the war.

Zu Yue could only take the rout army back to Chenliu, relying on Chenliu's strong city wall to defend, this Zu Yue's face was ugly, watching Zhou Ping lead the army to set up camp, even if he wanted to sneak attack once, but he was quickly directly dispelled.

Because if the general of the army is replaced by himself, Zu Yue feels that as long as the soldiers are put on fish scale armor and sleep, if there is a night attack, as long as they put on their helmets, they directly let the archers shoot carpet in the camp, then unless they kill Zhou Ping at one time, they will definitely have no way back with their own army.

At this moment, Zu Yao thought about the way to deal with the fish scale armor with the arrow rain washing tactic, but after thinking about it, he felt that the best way was for his entire army to wear the fish scale armor and fight the opponent head-on.

But as soon as Zu Yue had such an idea, he was very decisive to extinguish it, just kidding, everything else is easy to say, but how does the iron come from!

And this is not one general, two generals put on armor, but let all the armor soldiers who go to the battlefield put on armor.

Otherwise, as long as someone becomes a weak point, then the other party's fine arrow rain will be covered.

"You can only use the city to garrison first, and you must wait for reinforcements to come." Zu Yue couldn't help but sigh,

"My soldiers are mainly homeless people from the Northlands, and they are already elite if they can wear leather armor, and it is really difficult to deal with this combination of armor and archers.

If the Han army is repelled this time, no matter what, you must find a way to put on leather armor for the soldiers first! ”

As for the fish scale armor, save it, Zu Yue didn't dare to have this thought at all.

There are many things, and only after the real fight can we recognize the gap between the two sides.

Liu Tai killed Shi Le and captured Liu Yao, allowing Liu Tai's own reputation to cover up Zhou Ping, who had always been the actual commander of the battlefield.

What's more, because Liu Tai fights every time, this makes Zu Yue have no useful information at all.

For example, when he heard that Liu Tai's army had many armor soldiers, Zu Ti naturally took it for granted that it was leather armor, but he didn't expect that in addition to the cavalry, almost all of them were in scale armor.

Scale armor~ Zu Yue looked at his Beifu homeless style, and then looked at the handsome posture of the silver shining on the opposite side, as well as the beauty of the strength displayed by the large amount of steel, Zu Yue couldn't think of a way to resist.

Even the Beifu Army handed over to him by Zu Ti didn't wear it so well.

When Liu Tai heard the reputation of the Beifu Army trained by Zu Ti, he knew that this army was elite.

Because this is an elite team that even a guy like Liu Tai who is relatively vague about the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties has heard of.

But after Liu Tai carefully studied the composition of the Beifu Army, he was no longer afraid of the Beifu Army.

Because this army was formed by the exiled people from the north, under the construction of the ancestors, they have the strongest will to fight, and also have the most suitable fighting methods for them.

But their biggest flaw is in their equipment, unless the family and the Northland outcasts complete the merger.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have had any chance to put on scale armor, and even leather armor wouldn't be much.

Therefore, Liu Tai asked Zhou Ping to deal with Zu Yue, the fighting will of the Beifu soldiers is not bad, and the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Five Schools created by Zhou Ping is not bad.

In the case of equipment advantage, Zu Yue will definitely lose, but his chances of winning are indeed very few.

After all, the best way to fight against a high-willed opponent is to use a pile of resources.

Don't look at the Korean War in the end, the rabbit won, but since then, the fear of lack of firepower has been engraved in the rabbit gene.

This shows that Eagle Sauce's tactics are effective, but Eagle Sauce meets the strongest army in the history of Rabbit.

Therefore, Liu Tai dealt with Zu Yue, which is such a method, the most priority supply is the arrows of the Changshui Battalion, even if a hundred arrows are piled up to kill a Beifu soldier, anyway, Liu Tai does not feel that it is a loss.

Just when Zu Yue was worried about how to deal with Zhou Ping next, a herald came over and said:

"General Qiyu, General Huan Xuan is coming to report, Liu Tai personally led the army from Taishan County, Jibei County, Dongping County, Lu Guoren Chengguo and other places around Taishan County are looking at the wind and surrendering, General Huan Xuan hopes that you can send troops to support!"

"Go back and tell him that the reinforcements will be sent soon, and let him give me the first credit to hold Gaoping County before the reinforcements arrive, if he can defeat Liu Tai, he can make immortal achievements!" Zu Yue resolutely said to the herald.

The herald was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to go to Gaoping County to report without any hesitation.

To tell the truth, it was only while Zhou Ping had not yet closed the siege, so he was able to calmly send envoys out of the city.

But as Zhou Ping gradually deploys defenses, it will be more and more difficult for him to send scouts with Huan Xuan like this time.

"Shameless, shameless! Zu Yue, look at what you say is human! ”

Huan Xuan listened to the herald's report to Zu Yue's reply, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

Others don't know, but they don't know how many catties and taels they have, if they can resist Liu Tai, they still need to ask you for reinforcements.

"General Qiyu, I see that the Han army has sent soldiers to land in Chenliu County, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to communicate with him in the future!" The herald told what he had seen and heard, which made Huan Xuan frown.

"It looks like we really need to deal with Liu Tai by ourselves!" Huan Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, desperate for the situation.

Fan Ya, his command, said, "General, I saw Liu Tai leading the soldiers and horses on an expedition, and we took advantage of his unstable foothold, that is, we attacked him by surprise and killed his sharp spirit!" ”

"Liu Tai has been on the battlefield for a long time and is better at surprise attacks, so it is impossible to give us such an opportunity!" Huan Xuan shook his head and said,

"We rely on our defenses to hold our cities, and now is not the time to show our bravery."

To be honest, if it were someone else, Huan Xuan would definitely be willing to give it a try.

But in the face of Liu Tai, Huan Xuan really didn't have such courage.

Because for people who have never lost in this world, no matter how much you overestimate the other party, it is not too much.

Liu Tai led the army to set up a camp in a place with a wide field of vision and close to the water source.

Although along the way, several surrounding counties almost surrendered, especially the local families, who chose to surrender rather than resist, which made Liu Tai very satisfied, after all, even if he didn't want to fight one city after another.

However, although these families surrendered, they also surrendered unconditionally, Liu Tai allowed them to keep their land and slaves, and recognized their land ownership, but they also had to accept the "Qiantian Tax" and the "Conscription Tax" to pay taxes, as well as provide a part of the grain and grass for the army to collect.

To be honest, these families were very dissatisfied with the conditions given by Liu Tai, but they were the closest county to Taishan County, so they could see the changes in Taishan County with their own eyes.

In particular, the sheep man of the Taishan Goat clan regarded them as the key lobbying object, so they were allowed to send the sons of the family to the north for a study tour, and even Liu Tai nodded at this point.

But in any case, after the scholars they sent out traveled to Hebei, they immediately came back to report that although the families in the Liu Tai region were all complaining on the surface, in fact, their system was getting bigger.

The most important thing is that every time I visit these families, their house collection of books somehow accumulates in a room.

This is because Liu Tai found a way to reduce the cost of paper and pen and ink, especially after the cost of paper came down, engraving printing soon became popular.

As a family, although they also pursue wealth, in fact, it is better to pursue inheritance than to pursue wealth.

It was under such circumstances that those who either occupied a large amount of land, or organized their own servants to take over the work of the imperial court, and then went to work on projects, or to build ports, and so on.

Therefore, although their share of the total size of society is decreasing, their wealth is increasing.

And after they have wealth, they go to buy books, especially those related to examinations, and they have to buy a large number of them to study.

Liu Tai likes to take the history books, all the history books are collected as much as possible, Liu Tai likes to take the math test, then go to the math, Liu Tai wants to build wonders, they work hard to learn engineering.

Because of this, when these Henan families went to Hebei families, they saw rich wealth, a large number of books, and a thriving overall development.

So although they didn't understand why Liu Tai restricted them so much, the Beidi Shi clan was still able to grow.

But at least they saw the model and knew that after surrendering Liu Tai, these restrictions would not lead to the demise of their own family.

Therefore, after Liu Tai's southern expedition, with Yang Man as a guarantee, these families chose to surrender.

As for "Qiantian Tax" and "Conscription Tax", since Liu Tai's bottom line does not retreat, it is only necessary to let their bottom line retreat.

The family, you can cooperate with the Hu people, and now that Liu Tai is back with the banner of the Han Dynasty, what is there not to surrender.

"Who is this Huan Xuan?" Liu Tai couldn't help asking.

Bian Ju hurriedly came out, as a general stationed on the front line, he knew the opponent best.

At this moment, he said, "He was born in Qian County, and he was sent by Wang Han to join the army, and he has always followed his ancestors to fight.

After Zu Ti's death, he tacitly cooperated with the ancestral covenant, restrained the soldiers, and appeased the people, which is a great general! ”

"Oh, that's it." Liu Tai nodded thoughtfully, turned his head to Zhao Andao,

"After you enter the county of Qian Guo, send all his people over and try to see if you can persuade them to surrender!"

"Order!" Zhao An heard Liu Tai's words and immediately answered.

"How about the preparation of food or something? Dried meat, dried fish, tea fried noodles are not enough! Liu Tai asked Zhao An.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely make a mess in Yuzhou!" Zhao An said with confidence in Liu Tai.

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "After you arrived in Yuzhou, you are not familiar with the place, don't treat yourself as a regular army, but treat yourself as our original peasant rebel army to fight, or the same old-fashioned, fight local tyrants, divide the land, and establish a sphere of influence!" ”

"Huh?!" Zhao An was a little stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words, and couldn't help but worry, "If this is the case, then the family in Yuzhou is afraid that it will not be used by us!" ”

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "The vast majority of the family are filial piety and disloyal to the country, for us, what is the meaning of such a family."

The people of Dahan are our real supporters, if you want to take root in Yuzhou, what you can really rely on is just the people! ”

"Subordinates are taught!" Zhao An replied decisively to Liu Tai.

"Let's go, when you gain a firm foothold and cut off the connection between Yuzhou and Sizhou and Yanzhou, we will start a full-scale siege of the city!" Liu Tai said to Zhao An.

Zhao An saluted Liu Tai, and then dispatched his headquarters and went directly to Yuzhou!

Liu Tai raised his head and looked at the city in front of him, and he had to say that the defense system of this city was quite well-built.

In other words, because of Zu Ti, the defense system of the Yanzhou counties is very perfect.

As long as the generals choose not to surrender these cities, it will not be easy for them to gnaw down.

After all, the flesh and blood mill of the city defense war, any famous general can only be accumulated by relying on technology and human life.

Even if it is as strong as Bai Qi, in the face of Lian Po's stubbornness, he can only rely on the country's size to consume a little bit.

Liu Tai also understands this very well, so Liu Tai chose to let Zhao An deal with the defenseless Yuzhou first, ready to take the lead.

But because of the Wang Dun Rebellion, Liu Tai judged that Yuzhou's troops might have been dispatched to quell the rebellion.

Originally, it was just a plan to take the lead, but now it can be thoroughly implemented.

"Langya Wang, you are really my best teammates!" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
