Chapter 342: Tao Kan Becomes Famous

Liu Tai'an waited steadily for the completion of several projects in his hands, waiting for the completion of the fatal blow to Shudi.

And Sima Shao knew from the envoy of Cheng Han Li Xiong that although Liu Tai did not attack the Jin court again after taking the Central Plains in recent years, he successively recovered Luoyang and Chang'an, destroyed Zhao State, surrendered Zhang Mao, and even repelled Cheng Han.

Now he has effectively obtained the land and power of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but now the Jin court can only live in the land south of the Yangtze River of the Eastern Wu rats.

This feeling made Sima Shao helpless, but he had an unparalleled sense of crisis, as the only normal and resolute emperor in the entire Jin Dynasty, Sima Shao also began to think of a way.

In history, Sima Shao decisively recruited You Xijian, Zu Yue, Su Jun and other homeless marshals as foreign aid.

Because the original land of this group of people was occupied by foreign races in the north, they wanted to fight back to the north with the hottest thoughts, and they didn't want to rebel, and they also needed the nominal recognition of the imperial court, so Sima Shao could easily use this power for his own use.

In fact, even when he was in the big fight, Zhao Jiu was very easy to handle Yue Fei, who was represented by the northern refugees, which was the reason.

Because these northern refugees want to go home, and want to unite everyone as much as possible, they must be called and approved by the imperial court.

But when they put too much faith in the court, it was almost time for them to be sold.

To a certain extent, the exile forces after the Southern Song Dynasty were not trusted by the imperial court, and they were also somewhat affected by this history.

Because Liu Jinu, who was based on the homeless people, relied on the Beifu army represented by the homeless marshal to usurp the Jin court and establish Liu Song.

As for Da Yi, because he won the country unjustly, they don't study the matter of how to unify the world too much.

But the various usurpation classics in history must be carefully pondered, so as not to usurp their position.

Therefore, Zhao Jiu decisively took history as a mirror, and needed Yue Fei to be able to fight in the early stage, so he reused Yue Fei, but Yue Fei was too capable of fighting, so he could only let Yue Fei die, otherwise, would he still let Yue Fei be the second Liu Jinu, or Zhao Kuangyin!

Xin Qiji is the same, it is normal for him to be suppressed, after all, everyone in Zhao Song looks at him and thinks that he wants to be Liu Jinu's second.

It's just that when Sima Shao wanted extra strength, he found that the easy-to-use and deceitful thug like the exile handsome was gone!

There is no way, because Liu Tai's perspective on the problem is a little different from other people in this era.

Therefore, he successively subdued Zu Yue and Li Ju, and then decisively attacked Gou Chun, and directly destroyed the refugees with the most will for the Northern Expedition in the Jin court, so that he could rest assured that he would go west.

Otherwise, from Liu Tai's point of view, if there is a guy in the south who wants to go north in the process of westward expansion, it will actually be quite a headache.

After all, the other party may not be able to beat Wang Sang and Bian Ju arranged by himself, but it looks disgusting!

And after defeating the group of the Exile Army, the Jin Court lost the guy who wanted to go to the Northern Expedition the most, and he didn't need to worry about which group the Jin Court really came up to support the Northern Expedition of the Jin Court, you see, this didn't make him and the Jin Court friendly and cooperative for many years.

After all, among the remaining groups in the Jin Dynasty now, although the well-dressed family of the Southern Expedition occupies the center of the imperial court, even if there are really people who want the Northern Expedition in the world, but there is no force that really belongs to this faction and wants the Northern Expedition, it is meaningless.

Looking at the Jiangnan Shi clan and the local heroes, Liu Tai does not deny that there must be talents in it, but their tribal system determines that they do big things and spare their lives, and forget their righteousness when they see small profits, after all, they work for the public, why should they contribute privately!

Therefore, if you want to appoint them, it is not as easy to deal with them as the homeless, as long as there is a court name, the homeless army is basically willing to die.

Because the exile army really wants to fight back to the north and return to their homeland.

But if they are Jiangnan Qianghao, their home is local, and the soldiers under their command are also locals.

It is difficult for them to have the same consciousness as the Wandering Army, or in other words, it is impossible for the Wandering Army-level painting cake to encircle the strong and powerful people in Jiangnan.

It is necessary to take out tangible benefits, and the powerful people in Jiangnan are willing to provide limited services for Sima Shao.

Therefore, Sima Shao chose for a long time, and finally chose Tao Kan as his support, and chose to appoint and dismiss him as the general of the expedition to the south, open the palace with the three divisions, and supervise the military of the three states of Jiaoguang.

The main purpose is to let him dispatch soldiers to prepare for the extermination of Wang Dun.

It can only be said that Sima Shao doesn't know whether what he did is right or wrong.

If you reuse the rogue militia, then you don't need to pay such a price at all, but if you don't rely on Tao Kan now, who can you rely on.

I can only hope that Tao Kan will not be as ambitious as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and his ancestors, otherwise he will be afraid of driving the wolf and the tiger!

After all, Tao Kan is a local wealthy family in Jiangnan, which makes it relatively more difficult for Tao Kan to balance him if he becomes bigger.

Of course, in terms of force, Sima Shao was ready to Tao Kan, and politically, Sima Shao began to befriend Wang Dao, and tried his best to repair his father's almost extinguished the relationship between Wang Dao's whole family.

The most important thing is to guide the collision of political ideas between Wang Dao and Wang Dun, and give Wang Dao a hint that he is the emperor, you are the father, and you can fully realize your political ambitions.

But Wang Dun is the emperor, although you are the king of Langya, where is the opportunity to display your talents like today's prime minister.

After all, in the final analysis, although you and Wang Dun control the court inside and outside, in the end, the two sides are equal, and even you can balance Wang Dun to some extent, but if Wang Dun becomes the emperor, the best treatment for you is afraid that you will be the head of the clan!

Director Wang is a smart person, and he even has to see much more clearly than Sima Shao, who he should choose.

It's like, why did Wu Zetian want to be the emperor in history.

Because she was originally Li Zhi's white glove when he was not in good health, but she really did the work of the emperor, and she could even be regarded as the executive deputy emperor in terms of position, and the status of the second saint in the dynasty was only comparable to Zhu Biao when he was the prince, and he really grasped the power.

But when Li Zhi died and his son Li Xian succeeded to the throne, Wu Zetian immediately went from the executive vice emperor to the empress dowager who was nominally a little illegal even to listen to the government.

The gap between the two is unbearable for any political creature.

If Wu Zetian is planning to be the emperor, it is naturally unrealistic, but if even Wu Zetian can't bear the emptiness and insecurity after losing her rights, I am afraid that this is the fundamental reason why she is determined to be the emperor to solve the problem.

And the current Director Wang is like this, compared to the price that Wang Dun can give Director Wang, in fact, maintaining the current situation is what Director Wang is willing to see.

In such a situation, Director Wang's top political coordination ability in this era can really be brought into play.

This made Director Wang want to do his best to maintain the current situation, and for Wang Dun's idea of what he wanted to rebel against, anyway, he absolutely drew a line on the surface.

It's just that this kind of situation is what Director Wang wants to see, but it is not what Wang Dun wants to see.

In the final analysis, Director Wang thinks that it is a thousand-year-old family, and Director Wang thinks that it is the Sima family who can sit on the throne, can't I Wang Dun sit down!

It can only be said that because the work of the Sima family usurping the throne and seizing power is too rough, it makes everyone's hearts unconsciously rise, even a person like the Sima family can be the emperor, no matter how bad his moral character is, he is always a little stronger than the Sima family.

Therefore, in the matter of seizing the throne, no matter who they are, at least in terms of personal morality, they feel that they must be enough!

It's just that sometimes the opportunity is just like that, and if you lose it, you may never have it again.

After Sima Shao made corresponding arrangements, he began to use Wang Dao to win over the Jiangdong Shi clan and Haoqiang, so as to ensure that when Wang Dun was in rebellion, at least the northern Shi clan and the Jiangnan strong would not support Wang Dun and would not help each other.

Next, it's time to wait for your chance.

Although Sima Shao has not learned the truth of path dependence, Sima Shao, as a rare Ming monarch in the Jin Dynasty, still understands very well that Wang Dun has seized everything he has now by rebelling, so Wang Dun will inevitably rebel!

In fact, Wang Dun also thought so, after all, when he rebelled for the first time, he could say countless problems big and small, but he still succeeded in rebelling.

So in the second rebellion, how could it be possible for me to fail in the rebellion if I was more experienced, more powerful, more resourceful, and more mature!

Therefore, for Sima Shao's small actions, Wang Dun naturally saw it in his eyes.

It's just that during this period of time, Wang Dun was sick and felt the loss of his rights, so he directly appointed Wang Ying as General Wuwei as his deputy, and appointed Wang Han as the general of the hussars and the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, so as to prepare for his sudden death.

When the news of Wang Dun's illness came, Sima Shao made up his mind and first asked Ying Zhan's opinion.

Ying Zhan is Sima Shao's real confidant and the last hole card in Sima Shao's hand.

After all, Sima Shao dared to appoint Tao Kan, and Ying Zhan was one of Sima Shao's counterbalances, at least when he fought Du Tao, Ying Zhan had cooperated with Tao Kan.

Therefore, after Ying Zhan recognized Sima Shao's action at this time, Sima Shao successively appointed and dismissed Situ Wang Dao as the governor of the capital, Zhuge Hui, Tao Kan and Ying Zhan took important positions, and was ready to fight with Wang Dun.

This history, without the appointment of the Wandering People's Army as the winner of the lore, quickly ended the rebellion of Wang Dun.

Therefore, the only power that Sima Shao can rely on and that he can control is this current force.

First of all, Sima Shao took care of Wang Dao, and Wang Dao led the disciples of the Langya Wang clan to mourn Wang Dun, making it look like Wang Dun had died of illness.

After all, Director Wang, the leading figure of the Langya Wang family, came forward, and no one thought it was fake.

This greatly boosted the morale of Sima Shao's subordinates, and they all thought that they only needed to pick up the bargain.

This is like Huang Siye's stand-in, and after Huang Siye's death, everyone dared to attack Huang Siye's bunker.

And Director Wang's face is more convincing to everyone than Huang Siye's stand-in, after all, how could the Langya Wang family give up Wang Dun?!

Wang Dun was naturally furious about this, but he was really seriously ill, and he really couldn't command the army.

So Wang Han was appointed as the commander, and Qian Feng, Deng Yue and Zhou Fu led the troops to attack Jiankang, and killed the traitorous ministers Zhuge Hui and Tao Kan.

And then, it's time for Tao Kan's performance, so that everyone knows Tao Kan's military ability.

Wang Han advanced by water, led 50,000 soldiers to march into Jiangning, and approached Jiankang.

Tao Kan personally led his soldiers as bait, disguised defeat, lured him to the Qinhuai River, and scattered Wang Han's army.

The soldiers who had been ambushed in advance took a light boat to kill them on the water, and directly cut off their heads and tails, cutting off Wang Han's army, which had been pulled into several sections.

Then Tao Kan decisively led the army to counterattack, and Wang Han's army was defeated, killing the general He Kang.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Kan deliberately let Wang Han escape, and his army chased unhurriedly behind him, but every time he arrived, he informed the local Wang Dun that he was dead, and Wang Han was defeated.

The local family did not know the situation, but they still knew the news that Wang Dun was seriously ill, and Wang Han's defeat was also real.

So at this time, even if he didn't jump back directly, he also decisively solved Tao Kan's logistics problem, and even boldly sent young people and troops from his family to join Tao Kan's army and crusade against Wang Dun together, which was somewhat a little seniority.

Therefore, Tao Kan's soldiers at the beginning were only the elite cultivated by himself, and there were only more than 10,000 people.

But when he led the army to chase Wang Han's army, he unknowingly reached more than 50,000 people.

When Wang Dun heard the news, he immediately fell ill and died.

Wang Ying took over Wang Dun's remaining troops and chose not to mourn, but this kind of thing, how could it be concealed when the soldiers were in the city, without Wang Dun to stabilize people's hearts, Wang Ying was directly penetrated in the face of Tao Kan.

But Tao Kan did not rest at all, because Shen Chong, Qian Feng and others began to rebel with Wang Dun.

Tao Kan arranged for his own people to clean up the situation, and then led the elite of his headquarters to withdraw and rush towards Shen Chong.

Shen Chong and then led more than 10,000 soldiers, and the original plan was to join Wang Hanjun, but Tao Kan's march was too fast.

After all, in Shen Chong's original opinion, Wang Ying should be on Tao Kan, how can he defend the city for a few months, this time is enough time for him to go straight to Jiankang, but he didn't expect that he declared a rebellion on his front heel, and Wang Ying was put down by Tao Kan on his back heel.

Then Shen Chong naturally sat on wax, and was still thinking about meeting Wang Han's remnant army first.

But Tao Kan understands that the more he has to destroy these remnants of the army quickly, so that he can give full play to the advantages of his elite soldiers.

So Shen Chong didn't expect that Tao Kan would directly abandon plundering in Wang Dun's lair, but lead his troops to kill him.

Three battles and three defeats, Shen Chong, Qian Feng and Wang Hanquan were beheaded by Tao Kan, and Deng Yue and Zhou Fu led the remnants of the army to flee to Wang Sang!

It can be said that Tao Kan has been killed from beginning to end, and Wang Dun's army, which looks like more than 100,000 people, is so vulnerable in the face of Tao Kan.

Not only did the soldiers under his command show their morale, but there were more and more troops under their command, but Sima Shao and the others were a little dumbfounded, Tao Kan's performance simply made them feel incredible, is war so easy?!

Because of Tao Kan's decision-making, it is clear that as long as he makes a mistake in every step, Tao Kan will be doomed, and he may even be wiped out.

But at this moment, Tao Kan won the battle in the end, and when he looked back, he saw that every step was light.

And this is the hard power that has entered the seventy-two generals in the official history.

Of course, compared to the others in the seventy-two generals, Tao Kan is best at training soldiers, especially his own private soldiers.

This made Tao Kan's elite, although he usually does not show the dew, but when he really fights, he is the best in the entire Jin court.
