Northern Dynasties

After experiencing this incident, Li Tai felt more and more that his three-defense city system still had a huge loophole in defense and security, and the northern Shaanxi prefectures would be greatly shaken if there was any disturbance.

Although the thief Hu did not directly invade the Three Defense City this time, it was because Li Mu could withstand the critical moment. But if you drive straight in, the Heishuifang City below and a series of farming facilities will inevitably be disturbed.

Therefore, Li Tai was more active and eager than these governors. As soon as he got the news, he immediately went north from Baishui to help Li Mu, and rushed all the way to the bank of the Yellow River in Xiazhou. He really couldn't afford such a risk. .

The Three Defense City itself is positioned as a facility system that integrates military offense and defense and farming production. As a result, its own safety depends on other places.

This situation is not caused by Li Tai's assumptions. After all, it is due to the congenital inadequacy and weakness of the Western Wei regime. The control of the huge Hetao area is very weak, so that it is very difficult to make plans and attempts to establish a foothold occasionally. .

Of course, if the Western Wei Dynasty had too much control over the Hetao area, there would be no room for Li Tai to race around and build his own power.In the final analysis, in order for the Three Defense City to develop steadily, it still has to be patched.

Although Duguxin is not optimistic about Li Tai's business development in northern Shaanxi, and advises him not to invest too much energy, it is based on his first-mover advantage and the position of having more choices, but for Li Tai, He doesn't really have much better options.

Kansai's human forces are intricate, and if he wants to gain a place in it instead of becoming a vassal of a certain party, he can only open up new frontiers where no one pays attention, and get a bigger share before competitors emerge.

It has been a year of laying the groundwork for the Yanyin project of farming in northern Shaanxi. In the coming year, we can initially try the operation of opening China and France. Before the model of farming in northern Shaanxi is implemented, Li Tai cannot give up anyway.Even if Yu Wentai called him back to his residence to replace Li Bi and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, it would be just a tree without roots and would be broken by the wind.

So far, Li Mu has been regarded as a qualified partner, especially for the great help in the initial establishment of the Three Defense City.

Although Li Tai intends to set up a new defense, he does not intend to operate like the three defense cities in the south. Instead, he decides to extend this territory and use the tradition of Hu Zhihu to arrange the Jihu tribe under his influence and control, and land here. Take root, multiply, and play the role of an outpost.

Although Weiping City has been abandoned, the Sheyanshui River Basin where it is located is one of the few fertile lands in the Hetao area, that is, the Yulin area that was later called the "Pearl of the Fortress".

Although the friendship between Li Tai and Li Mu has improved, it is not good to directly intervene in Li Mu's plan for his own future and persuade him to continue to submit to this township.Since Li Mu is already planning to run away with a bucket at any time, he still has to take some things into his own hands to be at ease. No matter who the successor of Dongxia Prefecture is, he can also be exempted from being controlled by others.

So Li Tai didn't ask the Overlord's Mansion for instructions at all, and took advantage of the fact that the officials of both parties were present, he took advantage of the opportunity to raise this issue, to see if they could reach an agreement.

Yu Wengui first asked Li Taifa, and then quickly looked at Li Mu and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wu'an, please forgive me for overreaching. Disputes, even you and I can’t decide with one word, and we need to collect and carefully examine the wishes of all the commanders in the territory.”

I don't know how long he will be the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, and the population in that area has already run away, so he only handed over the management rights of a deserted land to Li Tai. Share profit, why not do it?
But Yu Wengui's expression was a little unnatural, his face was full of contemplation, and he didn't give a direct answer like Li Mu.

After pondering the balance, Yu Wengui still felt that it was not appropriate to have an antagonism with Li Tai because of this matter, not because he needed to be in awe of Li Tai's power, but because the gain outweighed the loss and was unnecessary.

But Li Tai is not an ordinary person. This kid has a low reputation, but his reputation is not weak.For the four people present, Li Mu and them were already in a state of collusion, and Yang Zhong came here because of a single appointment. If Yu Wengui didn't give face at all, he might break up unhappy.

This area belongs to Dongxia Prefecture, but after the rebellion of Jihu and Liu Pingfu in the seventh year of Datong, Dongxia Prefecture has not established any effective rule. Even if Li Mu came, he would just dawdle.

The battle report was written, the materials were loaded into the trucks, each side dispatched some troops, plus the more than 2000 elite troops of the Sixth Army led by Li Tai to the north, a total of illustrious and strong men selected from among the captives, a team of as many as [-] The people's victory team headed south in mighty strength.

There are many Hu tribes in Xiazhou. Every spring, they will migrate to this area for farming and grazing. After autumn, they will return to live around Tongwan City with the materials produced.A considerable part of the forage and other materials stored in Xiazhou in autumn and winter are harvested here.

Under the help of Li He's family, many wealthy chieftains and chieftains in Xiazhou often travel to Luochuanfang to conduct some trade transactions. They interact harmoniously with each other, and their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.

But after all, this is not a normal state. Even Li Mu, the real governor of Dongxia Prefecture, agreed to it, and Yu Wengui had no legitimate reason to object.

After Li Mu heard the words, he smiled and nodded, expressing that he understood and would not mind.Many things are actually like this. Disputes and conflicts that can be resolved with a single sentence, but both parties to the matter cherish their words like gold. Conflicts and misunderstandings arise, and even evolve into unequal enemies.

Although the imperial court established states in this territory, the situation of the subordinate counties and registered households is in a mess, and the boundaries between states are somewhat blurred. In the past, the military and political affairs of Eastern Xia Prefecture were often supervised by the governor of Xiazhou. There is also great mobility of personnel.

After listening to his speech, several people in the table also got up and came over to look at the map, and sketched it in their minds.

"I would like to ask how many troops Li Zong will arrange in that land, and how much pasture land will he need?"

Li Muxin received the favor of Li Tai's rescue, and he didn't plan to stay in Dongxia Prefecture for a long time. Seeing that Li Tai intends to control this area, he first said: "Wei Ping City is near luxury and extending water. It is a pity that it suffers from irrigation and abundant water and grass, and it would be a pity if it is left unused for a long time. Even the Lord appreciates Boshan's ability to manage affairs, but I have no detailed plan for reclaiming wasteland. Since you are willing to do it for me, Of course I have no objection!"

At this time, in Huazhou City, half of the winter month had passed, and a heavy snowfall continued for several days, rendering the entire city and the surrounding military camps white.

What makes Yu Wengui feel awkward is that although this place is not under his rule, the superior geographical environment and natural environment are always useful.

The so-called restraint seems to be a warm and affectionate way to win over the Hu tribes and declare grace and naturalization, but the core is actually to raise Gu, let you fight each other, as long as the power reaches a certain level, I will naturally give you a matching status and honor.If I need to worry about helping you in everything, then it's better to kill you all, I will do it myself!
After everyone has expressed their ideas, they have initially reached a tacit agreement, and the next step is to write the Lubu battle report to be submitted to the Bafu and so on.Although there are also people who are good at writing in Yu Wengui's army, he still warmly invites Li Tai to write.

Due to the long distance of the field hunting trip this time, the army did not return to Huazhou until recently. Daxingtai also returned to the government the day before yesterday. Out of trust in his nephew Yu Wendao, he did not go directly to the front line of the river defense. At the end of the year, I took a rest in Fuchu.

But seeing that after the First World War, he did not have any more plans for local control, and even discussed with Yu Wengui the issue of the control of the Ministry of Hu, which made him angry. Obviously, he did not intend to stay in Dongxia Prefecture for a long time.

And regardless of the current affairs, Li Tai and Xia Zhou also had a positive interaction.After the establishment of the Sanfang City, it fully played the role of a node along the Luoshui line. Some materials that must be exported from Xiazhou must also be transported through the Sanfang City, so the supply cycle is greatly shortened.

Facing a group of veterans, Li Tai accepted this task without hesitation. It was inevitable that he would describe the military operations he was involved in more magnificently. That is, all the battles commanded by Li Tai will be fought more beautifully.

Knowing that Li Tai planned this, Yu Wengui nodded, saying that when the day of the migration came, he would definitely tell the Hu tribes in Xiazhou not to harass the Hu tribes arranged by Li Tai at will. As for the scope of activities of their respective ethnic groups Division, however, is not mentioned.

If it's just an ordinary person, Yu Wengui can ignore it, and if you dare to put your hand into my food bowl, you can try it!

Sometimes it is also a statement not to say, the subtext is to let these Hu tribes compete with each other, and whoever is more capable will have more survival resources.

However, the Jihu tribe who originally lived in this area migrated westward and went to Tongwancheng, Xiazhou to attach themselves to Yu Wengui.The jurisdiction over land and population is divided into two states, which also shows that the Tyrant Mansion does not care enough about this area, and any situation depends on the spontaneous coordination of the localities.

The heavy snow has just stopped. Although the weather is cold and the dripping water turns into ice, the bright sunshine sweeps away the haze in the sky, which makes people feel comfortable.

Lu Bu, who reported victory in Beizhou, arrived in Huazhou under such weather. The messengers also strictly followed Li Mu's instructions before the trip. After a two-week circle around the city to attract attention, they rode into the city and went straight to the Taifu.

"Li Boshan is really young, brave, reliable and good minister!"

In the straight hall of the Taifu, Yu Wentai held the Lubu briefing in his hand and browsed through it. Although the briefing only had a general description and no specific details, it did not prevent him from applauding, and he only praised Li Tai, showing his partiality. .

Yu Wentai hastily ordered the Taifu to arrange for the dispatch team, while he himself waited eagerly in the mansion, but he did not expect to hear the bad news in the evening. Zhao Gui suddenly suffered from a serious illness shortly after returning to the mansion, and now his condition is turning critical. Son to sue.
