Northern Dynasties

Chapter 275
Where there are many people, there are many right and wrong, and the enthusiasm for gossip news has nothing to do with gender.

The news of Li Tai's appointment with Zhao Gui quickly spread throughout Baishuiyuan and spread farther afield. For a while, no matter the generals or the battalion soldiers, everyone would have to talk about it, otherwise it would not be considered a well-informed trend. middle man.

This kind of thing is very capable of provoking people's emotions, and the identities of the two parties involved are also different. One is the veteran of Wuchuan, and the other is the upstart of the hegemony. imagination space.

Not long after Li Tai led his troops back to Baishuizhuang, visitors came in an endless stream.

The first one to arrive was Nian Hua, who came galloping all the way, saw Li Tai coming out of the village to greet him from a distance, and said, "Boshan, what's the matter with you and Zhongshan Gong? I can't hear you in the camp." Carefully and hastily came to look for you, Zhongshan Gong bullied the young, it is a bit too much, even if you refuse to fight, the masses can't say you are timid..."

Hearing Nian Hua's voice of concern, Li Tai felt a little embarrassed, and after he got off his horse, he said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Nian is indeed an unknown person, and I asked Lord Zhongshan to come to this competition on my own initiative."

After hearing the words, Nianhua was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while, and then said again after a while: "Then why are you... well, that's all, you always have a reason for doing this. But Zhongshan Gong is The veteran general who has been in charge of the army for many years, and the soldiers under his command are also brave and mighty, are you sure of victory?"

"It would be too arrogant to say that there is. After all, it's just a drill. It's good if you can win. Even if you lose, it's not a shameful thing for me. I can only say that the country's general is well-deserved."

Li Tai's mentality is very relaxed. The victory or defeat does not have much psychological burden on him. Even if he loses, it is difficult for Zhao Gui to openly cause substantial harm to him.But if he wins, he will step on Zhao Gui's face and become famous.

Seeing Li Tai like this, Nian Hua no longer worried about him, and then smiled and said: "Although it is so, but Boshan, you are still a military official in charge of one side's military and government. It's hard."

Li Tai nodded after hearing the words, the so-called victory or defeat is fine, but he didn't want to put too much psychological pressure on himself and his subordinates.It's not like he's mean in his bones, since he took the initiative to provoke a fight, he naturally hopes to win in his heart, and it's not because he wants to make Zhao Gui fight more frankly.

"If Brother Nian doesn't come, I'm going to look for you too. I want to ask you about the skills of the soldiers under Duke Zhongshan."

He took a step forward, took Nian Hua's wrist and walked towards Zhuang Nei.

Different generals have different styles of leading troops, and private soldiers have more personal characteristics. Their military talents are as strong as Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, and they dare not boast that they know the styles of the subordinate troops well and command them freely.

Although the conflict between Li Tai and Zhao Gui has a long history, there have been no real fights between them. The only time he was almost ambushed and killed by Zhao Gui's son was that encounter. background color.

Although it is said that Zhao Gui's failures in several battles are impressive, but what he is facing is not an ordinary enemy.Li Tai felt that there was still a gap between his family's trilogy and the main force of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but he didn't dare to expect Zhao Gui to flee in embarrassment.

"Bo Shan asked me this, it's really an inhuman question. Although I was born in a general family, I have not joined the army all year round, and I have no way of knowing the detailed rules of other families' camps."

Nian Hua felt a little ashamed when he heard this question. Although his family was also from the town, but because his father went ashore much earlier than the town generals here, he has always lived a pampered life, and his experience is even better than Li. Tai is more like a descendant of a family. He really has no way of answering, but he doesn't deliberately hide his words.

After walking a few steps, the two heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance outside the village, so they stood still and waited for a while.

"Ah Pan, why are you..."

There was still more than ten feet away from each other, and Cui Qian's complaints came first. When he saw Nian Hua standing beside Li Tai, Cui Qian stopped talking for a while, and after getting off the horse for a little greeting, he looked helplessly at Li Tai. Looking at Li Tai, although he didn't speak, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyebrows and eyes.

After seeing this, Nian Hua simply said goodbye, and before leaving, he told Li Tai to go elsewhere to inquire about personnel information, and to inform him later.

After sending Nian Hua away, without waiting for Cui Qian to say anything, Li Tai opened his mouth and said: "Cousin came just in time, and I was about to ask you about the personnel of Zhao Gui's subordinates. The matter has come to this point, of course we must do everything well Prepare. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Zhao Gui is arrogant and self-reliant. If I can win with strength, I will also be able to be strong. Refer to the ambitions of the future generals!"

Cui Qian is now an official in the capital, official minister, in charge of military, criminal and prison affairs, and understands the talents and qualifications of the generals in the overlord's mansion, but he won't ask questions like Nian Hua.

Hearing what Li Tai said at this time, Cui Qian nodded first and said: "In recent years, there are indeed many evil things in the army. Old soldiers bully recruits, and townspeople suppress Han generals. After the Sixth Army was reorganized and expanded, it happened frequently and repeatedly. If we can It is indeed exciting for a young man to fight for the victory of the elders.

But Ah Pan, you really don't need to make such a rash move. The reason why Zhao Gui is called the elder is not only because of his power and prestige, but also because of his old loyalty and hometown.The townspeople send guests to foreign lands, and they are already sensitive to self-policing and admiring the nostalgia. Even Daxingtai may not lose such a measure. Why are you so eager to compete? "

The main composition and structure of the army of the Western Wei Dynasty are changing, and the replacement of the old and the new is inevitable.Cui Qian approves of Li Tai's ideas, but not his actions.

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded again and again, saying yes, obeying what he said, and never changing his behavior after repeated admonitions. Of course, the most important thing right now is to deal with this competition.Therefore, Cui Qian didn't give any more lectures, and after entering the village, he told about the personnel situation of Zhao Gui's trilogy.

As the big reading is approaching, the flow of personnel information between Baishui and Huazhou City is already frequent, and some explosive events can be transmitted between the two places within a day.

In the Taifu, Daxingtai was preparing to go to Beijing to meet with the royal family and courtiers to go to Baishui to participate in the grand parade. Suddenly, when he heard the news from his subordinate Jin, his face sank suddenly, and he directly complained angrily: "Is the country now There is nothing wrong with the peace, and the strength is strong enough to make this irritating idle show!"

Seeing the angry expression on his uncle's face, Yu Wenhu in the desk next to him nodded and agreed: "Boshan did something wrong this time. He participated in the parade for the first time this year, so he didn't think about how to do it..."

"What's the matter with Guan Boshan? The old soldier is rebellious, and the matter is not the same. The so-called far away will complain, and the close one will not be inferior."

There was no outsider present in the hall, so Yu Wentai talked more casually, and when he heard Yu Wenhu say that, he stared displeased again.

Yu Wenhu was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words, and quickly reminded in a low voice: "But according to the rumors, this matter was provoked by Bo Shan on his own initiative, and Zhongshan Gong didn't want to respond..."

"When you look at people and discuss things, how can you only look at one side! The former veterans cherish things and want to stay away from me. If it weren't for Boshan's tricks and tricks, I'm afraid there will be no improvement so far, but he himself will inevitably offend the masses. I don't know if I have endured it How many times have you made things difficult and criticized him. He is very sharp in dealing with people, and he is indeed somewhat arrogant and unconventional. Even if I let him know, people may not know, how can I not know?"

Yu Wentai frowned again when he talked about this, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuangui is really a little confused about accepting this challenge from Shaoliu. There are many veterans at home and abroad. If it weren't for the unbearable anger, why did Boshan provoke him alone? How could he feel at ease if he saw evil in the imperial court because of the personnel affairs in the East Palace, and he had no time to rest after returning to the mansion, and he resented the masses because of the Kaicao incident?

Zhao Yuangui has the slightest tolerance of a virtuous elder, so he should understand that the boy is just showing his teeth for fear of being ostracized by the crowd, hoping to be threatened by others.Yuan Gui was not known for his bravery, so what if he forbeared a little to strengthen his reputation?Now that the battle is over, even if he wins against the younger generation, how much prestige can he show off?It's nothing more than relying on your prestige, belittling my confidants, and showing off its power in my door! "

Hearing his uncle's complaints, Yu Wenhu was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "It is true that Li Boshan has added a lot since he entered the mansion, and his achievements are not bad, but compared with Zhu Yuan's old righteousness, he still has a lot of achievements. It's a dwarf of merit. Kuang Zhongshan's great achievements in the past years, although his reputation has been weak in recent years, it is not easy to cut it to benefit the backward, right?"

"Personnel are different, so how can we generalize? They are the same as the royal family, and they claim to be barbarians. Although they are helpful to the present, the younger generations may find it difficult to support them. But Boshan is a disciple of my retainers. The career leader can be appointed, and he is strong. The candidates for my family's voice, although they do not contribute to the imperial court, I have a pool of resources to support them."

When Yuwentai talked about this, he looked at Yuwenhu's eyes with some different eyes, and after a little pondering, he said again: "You and Boshan used to help each other and share the same spirit, why are you a little resentful today?" In the normal state? Did you blame you a few days ago for cutting things into pieces, failing to catch up with Boshan, and alienating you because of anger?

If so, it would be too disappointing.Family affairs and state affairs are only half done now, and it is necessary to recruit people from all walks of life to do their jobs.Even I know that I have expertise and special merits in everything, and I dare not boast that I can lead the world in everything.Now that you know your own shortcomings, you should look for your strengths to develop.In the final analysis, the talents gathered in the household are still for your brother to use? "

After hearing this, Yu Wenhu hurriedly avoided the table and repeatedly stated that he had no such intentions, but secretly sighed in his heart, if this trend continues, it is really uncertain who will use it in the future.

"I remember that there are still guards and guards around Boshan. You go to Baishui first and take back all the guards. He is not allowed to fight privately with the people of the Shilu Gongmen. And tell General Yu to arbitrate fairly, regardless of the outcome. How about it, don't continue to entangle, if you miss the big review, you must be severely punished!"

Yuwentai gave instructions to Yuwenhu again, and after hearing this, Yuwenhu subconsciously raised his head and looked at his uncle, "Your mind is in your armpit, how dare you say it's fair?"Zhao Gui has been in the army for many years. Among the outstanding generals and disciples under his family, whoever is not an official or a nobleman is not allowed to meet and fight privately. Who do you want him to send to the field?
