Northern Dynasties

Chapter 317
The outskirts of Chang'an City have been overcrowded recently, and those who entered Beijing last year for business or private affairs all left one after another.

In a tent in the outskirts, Li Mu in suits was sitting on a felt mat, with a sad and unhappy expression on his face. When his eyes turned to Li Tai who was sitting beside him, he couldn't help but sigh angrily: "Boshan, you are a good person! So, what kind of woman in the world can't be found, but... well, I know that if I talk too much, it will be annoying, but you turn your head and go west, leaving me alone in Beizhou, think about all kinds of affairs It's just a headache!"

Li Mu had a very unhappy New Year. Originally, Xizizi planned to return to Beijing to praise his achievements, but first he was overwhelmed by the achievements of Guazhou, and later because Dugu believed in the official announcement of his marriage, he was completely ignored. The Yuanyue Dynasty rewarded meritorious deeds, and added three hundred food towns without pain or itching.

Not to mention that the expected scenery of entering the court did not exist at all, and the application for transfer to Daxingtai was also postponed.Because Li Tai was transferred to another place, if Li Muruo left again, the military and political achievements of the entire Eastern Xia Prefecture would undoubtedly be greatly wasted, and many affairs would have to be overthrown and restarted.

Da Xingtai was just upset that Li Tai would be Dugu Xin's son-in-law, but he did not deny his previous achievements.

In particular, a series of wars such as the rescue of Dongxia Prefecture and the pacification of the immigrant bandit Hu a few years ago also proved the necessity of military facilities such as the Three Defense City. State resilience and resilience.

However, due to the particularity of the three-defense city, although Li Tai was transferred, Yu Wentai did not think of a suitable successor for a while.The envoy sent a general to take over. Those who are truly capable of both civil and military skills will inevitably be overqualified, and few of the younger generation have the ability to match Li Tai.

Therefore, for the time being, the three defense cities were assigned to the local states and counties for temporary control. Although it is far less efficient and effective than the management of the three cities as one, it is better than completely abandoning it.

The first-line reclamation of Heishuifang City, which Li Tai had hoped for a lot, is located in Dongxia Prefecture. Now that Li Tai has left his post, the next matters will naturally fall on Li Mu's head.

So after returning to Beizhou this time, Li Muxiu wanted to live a comfortable life of ignoring state affairs and just wandering and hunting as before, and really took care of these military and political affairs.

Seeing that Li Tai put away the letter seriously, he couldn't help but said: "Today Gongboshan is about to part, and I feel very sad. Thinking back to the day when we first met, Boshan was probably crazy because of me. I feel disgusted because of my attitude, didn't I expect to be such a good friend in the future?"

After Li Tai saw this, he was not polite, and explained to Li Mu some of his ideas that he hadn't had time to implement, hoping that he could implement them on his behalf.Li Mu listened very carefully, worried that he would not be able to remember something too complicated, and ordered his subordinates to record it clearly on the scroll.

In Li Mu's impression, Daxingtai is decisive, and he will never be soft-hearted when it should give up some personnel.But in dealing with Li Tai's matter, it seemed a bit inconsistent and indecisive.

After Li Tai heard this, he recalled the situation at that time for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Wu'an was famous at that time, and he condescended to meet me, a newcomer who has just entered the Taiwan government, even if his attitude is not good. Darling, how dare I take offense?"

It can be seen that the Lord still appreciates and loves you in his heart, but the rural situation in Beizhen is complicated, and those of us outside the matter really can't see clearly.It would be best if you could keep it at a respectful distance, but now that your relationship is established, you are also destined to get involved in some disputes.You are clever and quick-witted, so it is not difficult to deal with it. As long as you can uphold loyalty in your heart, the Lord will definitely not abandon you, a young and strong confidant who embraces you so deeply! "

"Haha, if I didn't know each other before, I would have believed it. But now, although I don't know each other very well, I do know how Boshan is. How is Zhongshan Gong compared to me? Boshan, you can handle him well." How can you treat me differently if you don't pretend?"

After hearing this, Li Mu's eyes brightened, and he stepped forward to hold Li Tai's wrist tightly, and his tone became a little excited: "I haven't been here for a long time in Longxi, but my elder brother often goes back and forth between two places. You can also understand the changes in the customs of the village, and you will definitely be able to guide you to visit the village in Boshan!"

Sure enough, with incentives, people's subjective initiative will be mobilized.When he heard that he was expected to become a member of the Longxi Li family, Li Mu's attitude was several times more enthusiastic than before, and he directly treated it as his own business.

Seeing that it was already past noon, Li Mucai ordered to pack up after several urgings from his family, and after he screened all the idlers out of the tent, he looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "Boshan, you Don't hold grudges against the Lord because of this change in circumstances. When I paid my respects to the Lord before, the Lord told me that even if I can't surpass your previous plan, I must not ruin the foreshadowing of the previous events.

Although it is true that there is friendship with each other, if Li Tai really has no future in the Taifu, Li Mu will never continue to be ambiguous with Li Tai because of these private affairs. What they have now is that the whole family is going through life and death, risking their lives. Come!
Although the name of the Li family in Longxi is greedy, the premise is that they can have a matching position.If Li Tai really became a dangerous person, not to mention that Li Mu wouldn't bring up the past, even if Li Tai begged them to join their nationality and discuss their relatives, Li Mu wouldn't dare to agree without authorization.

But Li Mu, as Daxingtai's perennial confidant, doesn't feel that Li Tai's future in the Taifu has come to an end.Especially for Li Tai's appointment of a series of official positions in Longyou, Li Mu can even taste the love-hate entanglement of Daxingtai when making these decisions.

After properly collecting these letters, Li Mu signaled Li Tai to wait for a while, and then went to the inside of the tent. Not long after, he also handed a letter with wet ink to Li Tai, and said: "I know Boshan went to Longyou with Dugu Kaifu to take care of him, so the situation must be more calm.

Hearing what Li Mu said, Li Tai quickly stood up and took the letter in both hands. Although he didn't feel that he had to ask Li Xian for something, it was finally a proof of their friendship.

Looking at the series of job arrangements he made against Li Tai, at first glance, the meaning of provocation is very obvious, but in fact, it may not have brought out some true intentions of Daxingtai. Even to replace!

It is even more difficult for the rest of the Kaifu generals to recruit available talents.Those who have been famous for a long time, such as Dugu Xin, or there are many people who come to invest because of their reputation, but even if they recruit really outstanding talents, they will turn around and be taken by Daxingtai as their own.

Hearing this, Li Mu hurriedly corrected his expression, took it with both hands, and looked at Li Tai with eyes full of gratitude: "Don't worry, Boshan, if you old subordinates are willing to make trouble in my house, I will arrange it properly and not let you go." Talent goes to waste."

The story he told naturally refers to the fact that he was originally from the Li family in Longxi, which was also the purpose of his initial contact with Li Tai.

Seeing that Li Tai's attitude was finally a little loose, Li Mu was overjoyed, and Dang even reciprocated, patting his chest and assuring him: "I know that Boshan has a deep heart and deep hopes for the cause of Beizhou, even though you have no choice but to resign now. Go, but there is still me sitting in the other township, I will definitely follow your ambitions and do things well with heart, and I will never let down my previous efforts!"

Compared with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which inherited most of the personnel essence of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty was a bit of a talent barrenness. Even the Daxingtai Bafu had insufficient personnel, and those who were able to use them often had to wear several jobs.

"If this is the case, that would be great. I didn't plan these things carefully, and I took it rashly. I was really worried that everything would be useless."

Li Mu is now also the founding general of the mansion, but most of the assistants in his mansion are played by tribal masters.It's not that the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders, and that they are not willing to give outsiders a position as a government official, the key is that they can't be recruited.

It is not yet known what the going to Longyou will be like, and Li Tai does not plan to transfer all the personnel under his command. If the whole family really goes to Longyou in a mighty way, then it really means that the old man will be replaced by doves. up.

Although Li Mu has reached his position now, his prestige is still far inferior to those veteran ministers, and he lacks the ability and patience to dig out and cultivate talents among the poor, so he is even less attractive to the children of the aristocratic clan.

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the worry on his brow subsided a little.Although his family is a big man in Yuanzhou, most of the talents in the clan follow the two elder brothers, especially the second elder brother Li Yuanyuan who is still on the front line in western Henan.

Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said, then sighed again: "This question is not just asking people, but also asking myself. At that time, I really never imagined that one day I would sit opposite you, Boshan, and have a good talk. The past and all kinds of things are now being elaborated. Thinking about it, I understand that Bo Shan's power cannot be subdued, but it can be turned into emotions. So, I wanted to ask Bo Shan about the story at that time, can there be a different answer now?"

Li Tai's mere Dushui envoy can attract many Shiliu Shaojun to listen to his orders, which is of course one of the advantages brought to him by his background.Now some of the old subordinates are referred to Li Mu, not only in the hope that those old subordinates can get more opportunities to practice, but also to open a hole for Li Mu in the scholar group.

But after all, Dugu Kaifu is in charge of one side's military administration, and there are many people under his command, so he may not be able to take care of him all the time.My hometown is Gaoping, which is close to Longyou, and my eldest brother has been guarding the village. If there is something difficult to deal with in Boshan, please visit my elder brother with a letter, and he will definitely get help! "

Anyway, they already had such a relationship, so he was not in a hurry to strive for any performance in Longyou, as long as he didn't make serious mistakes and dragged his feet, Duguxin would naturally not let him share the credit.Therefore, the personnel he arranged in northern Shaanxi were not in a hurry to evacuate, two operations, and three caves for cunning rabbits.

The Li family was originally a high-ranking and powerful man, and they had followed Daxingtai Yuwentai unswervingly for more than ten years. The three brothers had a clear division of labor. The eldest brother Li Xian stayed in the village, while Li Yuan and Li Mu went out to fight. Now the village is even more majestic. It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor of Yuanzhou.

"With Mr. Wu'an guarding his hometown, I don't worry about military affairs at all. But the matter of garrisoning fields on the front line of Kulichuan must be carefully and meticulously. Heishuifang Zhumeng is originally the old department of Mr. Langya. He has been doing common affairs for a long time, wise and brave. Before that, I Let him sit on the other side. I don't have to worry about lack of people in my current position, if there is no suitable candidate for Mr. Wu'an, I will let Zhu Meng stay for a while."

After pondering for a while, Li Tai said: "This trip to Long, although I am not called Rongxian, I can also be called a wanderer returning home. I am ashamed to say that although I know where my hometown is, I have never seen it in my life. Seeing how the scenery of my hometown is, this trip is convenient for business, and it would be even better if I can be guided and accompanied by sages from the surface."

As Daxingtai's hard-core confidant, Li Mu can certainly feel that Daxingtai is very wary of his Wuchuan Township Party, Dugu Xin, and other barbarians. At the same time, he also understands that precaution is one aspect These people are also the inseparable accomplices of Daxingtai.

Hearing Li Mu bring up the old matter again, Li Tai couldn't help feeling that their brothers were really obsessed with this, and now they have a good friendship with each other, but it's not easy to refuse directly like before.

Seeing the troubled look on Li Mu's face, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh, these things were all his long-term plans, even though he got out now, he didn't feel relaxed, and he was still very concerned about it.

Li Tai entered into a marriage contract with Dugu Xin without Daxingtai's consent or even knowing it. This undoubtedly stirred up the taboo in Daxingtai's heart, and it is inevitable that he will be alienated and suppressed in the short term.

Because of these feelings, Li Mucai is not in a hurry to draw a line with Li Tai.

Reminiscent of Daxingtai's enviable, almost pampering preference for Li Tai when the two returned to Beijing to meet Daxingtai at the end of last year, Li Mu felt that Daxingtai would not just give up on Li Tai.

After thinking for a while, Li Tai handed several letters written in advance to Li Mu and said: "These letters are all caused by me. These people are not very old, and their deeds are unknown. But they are also quite talented in management and planning, and things are as simple as they are complicated, if Mr. Wu'an does not give up, he can write to him and use them."

Li Mu's words can be said to be from the bottom of his heart. Although Li Tai also has the consciousness to choose what to give up, but when he heard that Da Xingtai will not give up on him from beginning to end, he can't help but feel secretly happy .

Although he aspires to be Lu, he is fledgling after all, and being Duguxin's son-in-law does not mean everything will be fine, especially this year's Yubi battle is an important node. Before that, all the order in the Western Wei Dynasty was formed for survival, and After that comes the real big development.

When the external increase is huge, all kinds of internal contradictions will be temporarily suppressed.As long as Yu Wentai still feels that he is a usable talent, then Li Tai will still have the opportunity to dance on the cusp of the storm!

Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help being happy again: I understand better than anyone what the hole cards are, and your confidant subordinates can help me interpret your mind, what do you use to fight me, you stinky black otter?
