Northern Dynasties

Chapter 167 Please forgive me
In the evening, Yu Wengui rejected the invitation of the defenders of Guide City to enter the city, but chose a wide valley in Baiyu Mountain to camp.

The sound of whips and sticks and the screams of the tortured were constantly heard from outside the big tent. Yu Wengui looked a little complicated, looked at Li Tai and sighed: "The town soldiers are brave and arrogant, and they may work together in times of crisis. But once the situation turns for the better, it is inevitable that greed and anger will be exposed, making people laugh!"

He was talking about the dozens of generals who were tortured outside the tent. In the evening, when the enemy disappeared, Xiazhou troops fought with the soldiers who left the city from Guide City for the spoils.If Yu Wengui hadn't arrived in time and stopped it, the fight would have almost turned into a bloody battle.

Both sides also had sufficient reasons. The Xiazhou troops felt that they had relieved the trapped soldiers in Guide City, while the defenders of Guide City felt that they could annihilate Jihu's troops only after they fought hard for several days. Wu's possibility.

Yu Wengui did not favor his own trilogy, and after he was stationed in the camp, he ordered that the dozens of leading soldiers be punished.

After Li Tai heard this, he said: "No one is perfect, everyone has his own use. A man in armor should love his bravery and appreciate his madness. Although a polite man is kind in words and deeds, it is difficult to form a line. Shijun The punishment order is serious, and the imperial servants are skilled, and I, a spectator, are also deeply taught."

After hearing the words, Yu Wengui's face turned slightly better, and he said: "Soldiers have their own temperaments, and the numbers are also different. You can't generalize it. Three or five soldiers must speak with emotion, and hundreds of soldiers must speak with ambition. To deter them with deterrence, all people will show kindness and righteousness. There were many soldiers in ancient times, how many would be better?
A wise general is a general, and a wise general is a general. Li Lang, you have both wisdom and courage.With these hundreds of people, they disturbed the northern states.It would be too polite to say that he was taught by me. "

When Yu Wengui said that, Li Tai didn't argue with him.In this incident, what he is most proud of is not running around and fighting like no one is in the middle of nowhere, but the personnel dispatching in a large area.

The Hu forces are rampant in Dongxia Prefecture, but there are few garrisons. Although there are garrisons in the surrounding states and counties, they have neither the motive nor the obligation to enter and suppress the bandit Hus here.If you don't want to go, I will bring the enemy over to you, so that the personnel resources in this place can be optimally allocated.

At this moment, someone entered the account again to tell Beihua Prefecture that Jihui had led his troops outside the camp.After Yu Wengui heard the words, he quickly got up, together with Li Tai and the generals, went out of the tent to greet him.

The news of the arrival of the troops from Beihua State had been known before, but a few Hui were still directing the deserters who besieged and killed Jihu just now, and they came to see each other only after the battle was over.

A few Hui first had a brief conversation with Yu Wengui, and then turned his attention to Li Tai, pointed at him and sighed, "How many surprises are you planning to give? It's just that things are a little difficult, and you actually made such a big scene!" Is Chang Shan coming? I was just about to ask him, what does it feel like to see the current situation when he temporarily suppresses his anger and settles his grievances?"

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still waved his hands and said, "I have never thought of belittling my senior colleagues, so it seems that I am not easy to get along with if you say so!"

"Yeah, don't think about it, just do it! I don't want to say that we in other states are passive and willing to accept helplessness when things happen, but if these black water thieves know why they died, will they feel wronged?"

Shuohui pointed at him, shook his head and smiled, then turned to Yu Wengui and said, "I don't know how Mr. Huazheng felt when he was about to do something, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm really happy and ashamed! The joy is that the thieves are scattered and difficult to attack, but today I don't know." Gathering to die, anger in the town will have its own camp, but it will be driven by foreigners!"

"But for the safety of the border, why bother with the rest. Before Duke Changle arrived, I had already lamented Li Lang's ingenious plan, which enabled my soldiers to kill thieves with half the effort!"

After hearing the words, Yu Wengui laughed and said again, showing his attitude.

Naturally, Shuohui is not really accusing Li Tai of making his own decisions and taking advantage of his strengths, but the implication is that he affirms his approach and emphasizes the contribution and value of what he has done in it.

Hearing what Yu Wengui said, Ji Hui sighed again: "That's right, although I didn't get involved with the thieves in the seven years of Datong, I also know that the court was shocked by this, and the king lamented that the road will not be prosperous. Fortunately, Daxingtai mobilized its forces to quickly settle the chaos before it became a serious problem.

But I don't think it will only be a few years, the root of the disaster will go away and come back again, if it wasn't for Li Lang who took a closer look at the situation, and the disaster would recur, we and others in Beizhou should be responsible for the masses, everyone can hardly absolve themselves of the blame, how can we have the calmness to calm down the chaos today! "

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit that this big brother is really good, he really dares to brag about himself.

The scale of Liu Pingfu's rebellion in the seventh year of Datong was indeed not small, but his son may not be.If he still had the power he had back then, he wouldn't be under house arrest by King Hao Ren, let alone be easily killed by himself and his party.

Li Tai didn't know whether Jihu in Dongxia Prefecture rebelled again during this period of history, but just looking at Liu Zhenqiang's situation, even if he was allowed to toss around in the realm, he might not be as good as Li Tai It's such a big mess this time.

After all, in the seventh year of Datong, Yu Jin and others really disabled Liu Ping Fubu, and Gao Huan in the east is still busy cleaning up Jihu in Luliang Mountain, and has no leisure to invest heavily in Jihu west of the Yellow River. mess things up.

But what a number of Hui said, the meaning of this incident is different. The core of the whole turmoil has also shifted from the encirclement and suppression of the Ji Huan Department to the killing of Liu Zhenqiang to prevent problems before they happen.

In the absence of clear instructions from Xingtai, some Huineng took the lead in sending troops to support the rescue. This big brother really has nothing to say!Li Tai just felt that if he didn't add ten sets of test papers to Bodhidharma every day after he went back, he would be sorry for the kindness of some benefits.

All the troops were tired that night, so they joined forces to garrison and rest.In the early morning of the next day, there were no longer traces of large groups of Jihu troops in the foothills and the countryside, so they began to take stock of the harvest of this battle.

Since this battle was a rare long-distance attack by Jihu, the main gains on the battlefield were captives.

A total of more than [-] Jihu people were gathered by several groups of people, most of whom were young and strong Hu soldiers.

This number is not large, but if their respective tribes are attached to these young people, then the number of Jihu population affected by this battle will be much larger. At least tens of thousands of people have lost the survival guarantee provided by the tribal force. .

In the land of northern Shaanxi, without the protection of force, it is tantamount to being reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and life and death depend on fate.

There are more than [-] horses confiscated. After all, even if it is a pure herdsman tribe, it is impossible for everyone to have a horse. The environment Jihu lives in is still a transition zone from farming to animal husbandry. The priority of many tribes is survival. Rather than production reserves of military materiel.

There are also some miscellaneous items such as cattle and sheep, mainly the materials collected by the Hu tribe that Li Tai broke through along the way but had no time to collect.

To be honest, this kind of harvest does not match the scale of the joint operations of several states, but it is only obtained on the frontal battlefield.The real big benefit lies in the in-depth suppression of those Black Water Hu tribes in the Kulichuan River Basin who have lost the protection of force.

Now that late autumn is entering winter, Ji Hu has a tradition of living together for the winter, the scope of activities has been greatly reduced, and a large number of people have been lost suddenly. Those Hu tribes have undoubtedly become big blood bottles everywhere.

Therefore, neither Yu Wengui nor several Hui were obsessed with the distribution of the current loot, but focused on the big head behind.The boundary between each other is a hundred miles south of Sheyanshui. The northern regions belong to Xiazhou, and the southern regions belong to Beihuazhou.

The two groups of people were too busy to raid the country and had no time to go to the court to pay their respects, so they decided that Li Tai would escort some of the troops' trophies to the south to claim their merits.The trophies of men and horses collected here are requested to be distributed by Daxingtai.

Li Tai was naturally quite satisfied with this arrangement. Although he also contributed a lot, the most important task of encircling and suppressing Jihu was on the sidelines due to his limited strength.

The two big bosses broke away from low-level interests and focused on practical interests, and they took the initiative to give him this opportunity to show their faces and praise their merits, and he was really not dissatisfied.

It was not until the discussion on the distribution plan here that Chang Shancai from Xi'an Prefecture arrived belatedly, and first invited everyone to Guide City to discuss matters.Yu Wengui has nothing to do with this, Xiazhou and Xi'an Prefecture have a cooperative defense relationship.

But Shuo Hui refused to pay attention to this. He had written to Chang Shan to make peace before, but Chang Shan still withheld the horses that should have been distributed to the Metropolitan Water Administration, and did not give Shu Hui any explanation, which triggered subsequent incidents. , This is undoubtedly not giving a lot of face.

Seeing some Hui's attitude, Yu Wengui simply didn't go.After all, everyone has discussed the benefit distribution plan, and if they really want to meet and talk about it, will they be separated or not?
Regardless, the battle will eventually take place in Xi'an Prefecture.If it is divided, the old men from other states will enter the country quickly. After the battle is over and the spoils are divided, you, the governor of Xi'an Prefecture, came late. This is really unreasonable.

After waiting for several hours in Guide City, but still got no reply, Chang Shancai led more than a dozen of his own soldiers, and took the initiative to enter the camp to ask for an audience.

"Mr. Changle and Mr. Huazheng, thank you both for taking the time to lead the army to save our state from the thieves and the people!"

After entering the account, Chang Shan strode forward and bowed his hands to the two of them as a salute, but kept his posture quite low.

A few Hui rolled his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shigong has a good way of governing the country, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, or he has a clever strategy to defeat the enemy before it is revealed to others. Don't blame our department for being rash and aggressive. It has already made me feel at ease. I don't dare to thank you." .”

Next to him, Yu Wengui also laughed dryly, pointed at Li Tai and said, "The thieves are coming fast. If Gao Pingnan Li Zongxing hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known that the state had been disturbed. I came to the south in a hurry, and I didn't have time to meet and attack together. I also invite Wu Shigong Forgive me."

After Chang Shan heard the words, he was naturally embarrassed, and when he looked at Li Tai, his expression became more complicated.

He really wanted to ask Li Tai why he brought so many thieves into his rule, but now that the thieves were all defeated, and several Hui and Yu Wengui took the credit for it, if he questioned this again, they would all be killed at once. excuse me.If Zhou Zhi is harassed again in the coming year, will they save him or not?
After a while, Chang Shancai clasped his fists to Li Tai again and said: "Li Zongzheng, I have been famous for your reputation for a long time. However, due to the limitations of my duties, I regret that I did not know each other. The former's affairs were confused, and because of misunderstanding, it was not intended to be provocative.

I entrusted people and horses before I started working, and I want to know that I will not lose my responsibility in the matter. Now I ask for help from all parties to solve my difficulties, and I am also deeply grateful.In the face to face of the two envoys, I implore the arbitration, hoping to resolve the dispute with Eng, please forgive me.If you ask, I will never say no! "
