Northern Dynasties

Chapter 326 Appointed as a confidant
After all the others withdrew, Li Tai took the initiative to tell Dugu Xin what happened in Lueyang County.

After listening to Dugu Xin, he was silent for a while, and then looked at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Boshan, you are not paranoid, I am not surprised by this. Keeping the stability of the situation here comes first, which really makes me deeply gratified.

What a pity to catch and kill a mere rebellious chieftain on the spot?But Yang Ling is always Yuwen Leren's old subordinate who relies heavily on it, it would be a pity if they alienate each other's friendship because of trivial matters.

To set up a business must be capable, but to control people needs to be comprehensive.Boshan, you have shown a lot in your affairs, but you also occasionally appear domineering, which makes people worry that you may not be thorough enough.Now it seems that such miscellaneous thoughts are too much to worry about, and I feel more at ease in entrusting this matter to you. "

Li Tai couldn't help sweating when he heard the words. It seemed that the old man was also quite worried that he might not be able to handle the relationship with his colleagues well after he came to Qinzhou.

It's no wonder that although the relationship between each other is getting closer day by day, the time to really get along and work together is not long.And Li Tai has never been a smooth image without edges and corners, so Dugu Xin inevitably worried that he might not be able to control his emotions.

"My father-in-law, please rest assured. Although I have not yet fully understood the situation here, I also understand that the various ethnic groups here are mixed and have their own desires. Although mergers are easy to condense, it is difficult. Most of the people who plan to establish things are still in the hands of others. The good will help the lost. Don't turn against the masses and cut yourself off from others because of your own bravery."

Li Tai replied sternly again, expressing that he understands the pros and cons of favors in this.

Dugu Xin nodded repeatedly when he heard this, looked at Li Tai and said with admiration: "To be able to see this layer is no longer a superficial knowledge. The complicated situation here is already a long-term disease. People's hearts are stubborn and difficult to tame, and they wait for their time to move.

However, since Wang Ye Xishou, the middle school has been struggling to make a living, and does not have enough national power to use the border for a long time. Only two or three capable ministers and wise men guard this side in order to hope for peace.Therefore, the root of what is going on here is to govern people, use Han to control Han, use Hu to control Hu, and Han and Hu to control each other, so that they can be exhausted in fighting, so that they can lose their fighting spirit and be powerless to the outside world. "

This should be Duguxin's core policy for governing Longyou, and it is indeed a coup for governing such a complicated area.

The Western Wei court and the overlord's government can give very little support, and it is up to the defenders to raise strength to deal with various variables.Longbian is also a place where the Han and Hu are mixed and has been in chaos for a long time. It is almost impossible to frighten all the Han and Hu armed forces into obedience simply by force. It is better than the Jinyang Bafu. Li Shihu and other hostile forces that would rather bend than bend.

But one advantage of all kinds of armed forces here is that the mutual hatred far exceeds the conflicts with outsiders. The meager local resources make the competition between the locals based on survival and development far more intense than other regions. .Letting them live in harmony may not even be possible for gods and Buddhas, but if you let them fight each other, it couldn't be easier.

It is far more detached and calm to be a referee who stays out of the fight than to go out and compete with everyone in person.At the moment when the struggle is inextricably judged who wins and who loses, if you are more conscientious, you can help clean up the battlefield.As long as it can be implemented in place and disputes and contradictions are controlled within a certain range, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Duguxin has been in Longbian for several years. Although there were rebellions during the period, most of them did not develop to the point of getting out of control. The situation in Longyou is still stable and upward.

However, such a control method seems to be light weight, but in fact there is an unavoidable disadvantage, that is, the rural situation and situation will be trapped in confrontation and internal friction for a long time, which is not conducive to the overall development of the region.

If it's just a part of a regime, it's all right. If it's a separatist force, then you don't need others to attack, and you will consume yourself to death.Excessive use of power and lack of kindness and righteousness seem to be skillful, but in reality they have no way.

In history, Duguxin has been in Longbian for many years, but he was easily replaced by Yuwen Dao. Apart from Yuwentai's methods, Duguxin himself is not without flaws.That is, although he has lived here for many years, he has not been able to take root and has not established his own irreplaceability.

In fact, the situation and disputes in Guanzhong are more complicated than those in Longyou, but Yuwentai can control all parties and make his strength steadily improve. It must be admitted that Yu Wentai is the most outstanding political figure of this era, and his ability to govern far exceeds the vast majority of Beizhen warriors.

Of course, Li Tai would not express these thoughts in his heart, and Dugu Xin told him these only to tell him the basic tone of his work in Longyou, not to ask for his opinions.Even if it is a close couple, you can't just say "you can't do it", let alone between Weng and son-in-law.

"Originally, Boshan, you have just entered the town, so you should rest first and understand the situation before instructing the case. But today the matter is quite critical, and there is no room for further delay."

When Dugu Xin talked about this, his expression became serious: "In the middle of the month, Shi Ning appointed the news to enter the state, and Yuwen Zhonghe surrounded the state and refused to leave. For fear that he would incite the people of the state to rebel against the state, Shi Ning has led his troops to go ahead and inspect the state border to appease the people of the state.

Although many people from the state wrote letters of surrender before, the specific situation is still unknown.Besides, Yuwen Zhonghe had already communicated with Deng Yanqian in Guazhou, so it is also difficult to judge whether he will commit adultery and lure Tuyuhun into Longxi.

No matter how the situation develops, it is always necessary to be fully prepared, and only by being prepared can there be no danger.Now all things are going on at the same time, there is a lack of talents everywhere, Boshan, you also have no time to sit idle, here are a few things that need to be handled urgently, which one do you want to take over? "

Li Tai only knew the outline of the Liangzhou Rebellion in history, but not much about the details.He only remembered that Dugu Xin led the army into Liangzhou, and then ordered his subordinates to pretend to attack the city of the state, while he himself led the people to launch an offensive from other places, and the rebellion was put down smoothly without causing any greater disaster.

But seeing Dugu Xin's expression was serious, and he was still worried about whether Tuyuhun would be involved in it, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and wanted to do his part, so he took the matter book that Dugu Xin handed over and read it carefully Fan.

Most of the things recorded in this matter book are military affairs, such as visiting the various tribes of Di and Qiang to recruit troops, inventorying the Fangcheng arsenal to prepare for battle, and so on.

Although there were a lot of things and they were all very important, after looking through them, Li Tai found that there were very few that really suited him, and it wasn't because he was picky. There was only one reason, and that was that he was not familiar with people and things.

Here in Longyou, there is no standard and specific rules of conduct. If the same thing is assigned to different people, the results may be quite different.

For example, recruiting Diqiang people and horse tribes, changing a general who is quite prestigious in Zhuhu tribe may easily recruit tens of thousands, but if Li Tairuo goes, a horse may be rare, and it is really shameless.

Of course Duguxin understood Li Tai's situation, but he still handed Li Tai such a task list, obviously not because he expected him to use his subjective initiative to choose a task that suits his situation.

Therefore, after Li Tai browsed through the matter book and got a little understanding of the matter items, he didn't bother to choose what to do, but directly handed over his hands and said to Dugu Xin: "Although I am new to the humble job, it is not worth it. If you are afraid of hardships, it is all up to the envoy to arrange, and you will definitely live up to your orders!"

Dugu Xin smiled again when he heard this, and instead of choosing something from the matter book he handed to Li Tai, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everything in the mansion is busy, and I don't have enough resources to stay in the manor for a long time. , it may be difficult for people to see here, and many things will be delayed.

The arrival of Boshan can be said to have greatly relieved my troubles, so you will stay in the mansion for me, and you will make decisions on the record for any matters that require immediate approval. "

Li Tai couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, he got up quickly and said, "I'm afraid I can't take such a heavy responsibility. I'm quite unfamiliar with the personnel and affairs here. The chaos is imminent, and everything is important. If the decision is wrong and it involves major events, it will be a crime." Mo Dayan, I really don't dare to handle the weight of the cardinal, and I would like to use my courage to fill the battle..."

"People are not born with knowledge, how can they know everything? But as long as you don't lose the clear lessons of pros and cons, everything can be decided. If someone else rashly entrusts you with the matter of staying behind, I will indeed worry that you will not be able to do your duty. But you are not Boshan. You don’t know much about the world, and your previous experience is also rich and magnificent, I believe you will be qualified for this job!”

Dugu Xin also stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, with a deep and strange look in his eyes, he said with a sneer: "Some people think that my son-in-law, Weng, is still short-sighted, and there are many places where evil schemes breed. Don't worry about it." Fu Yuyan, I regard you, Boshan, as my confidant, and if necessary, I can entrust my career and life to you!"

Although there is no danger of life and death, life and death, but after hearing Duguxin's statement, Li Tai couldn't help being moved, not out of pros and cons, but based on feelings, he developed a close relationship with Duguxin feel.

Weng and his son-in-law have talked about this topic more than once. Although they have expressed their views, it is hard to say whether the grudge in their hearts has been completely eliminated.This time, Duguxin used practical actions to prove that he didn't mind Li Tai staying behind and being a candidate for his position at all, which moved Li Tai and relieved him at the same time.

Li Tai knew that the symbolic meaning of such an arrangement was greater than the actual meaning. Apart from himself, Dugu Xin had to arrange staff who were capable and trustworthy to assist him.

So he didn't hold back anymore, and nodded directly in response: "Since the father-in-law has entrusted me with the matter, I will do my best to live up to the entrustment! Qinzhou's affairs may not be bigger than me, but they will never be compromised by me." !"

Although this arrangement has increased the responsibilities on his shoulders, it is not that he has never been alone. Compared with the three-defense city he built from scratch, Longyou has more people and more things. some.

He even has plans for the emperor's seat, and it's nothing to stay in Qinzhou. The only pity is that if he stays in Qinzhou, the first-line credit for pacifying Liangzhou will obviously be lost.

However, compared with the experience of being in charge of a large military state, this meritorious service on the battlefield is nothing. Besides, when he submits the merit book to the court later, it is his own family who compiles it, so he can arrange it wherever he wants. Where.Although Xiao He went into battle without armor, he was also the number one honored minister in terms of merit.

Seeing that Li Tai is not afraid of taking responsibility, Duguxin couldn't help but smile: "Let's go to bed early tonight. After taking over the government affairs tomorrow, there will be no free time."
