Northern Dynasties

Chapter 332
On this day, Kuamagou was surrounded by crowds of people. People from Qinzhou from four fields and eight townships filled up and down the slopes. As far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people, and the color of slopes could not be seen at all.

Seeing such a bustling scene around him, Li Tai felt a little nervous for a while.He expected that it would be difficult for Li and Quan to mobilize thousands of people, but he still underestimated how popular this matter was in Qinzhou Township. People from all over the world flocked here, and the number was more than a few thousand!

Although I was a little nervous, I never turned back. No matter what the situation was, I had to bite the bullet and continue singing this scene.

These sage elders in Qinzhou are also very respectful. All the people Huangfu Mu invited to visit have sent representatives to Kuamagou one after another, and most of them are not alone, each leading a group of tribes. , probably because I was eating melons and gossiping, but at the same time I was worried that it might be affected by the fight between the two hometowns, so I had to take safety precautions.

Introduced by Cangcao and Zhao Yan, all the local tyrants who were present also came to greet Li Tai one after another. On the surface, their attitudes were respectful, but they knew their true thoughts in their hearts.

Compared with the Guanzhong tycoons, the Longyou tyrants were less controlled and relatively more independent.Although the governors of the states and counties are appointed by the imperial court, if they really commit public outrage, they will be resisted and harmed by the strong clans of these states and counties in minutes.

During the Zhengguang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the Six Towns Uprising just broke out, Li Yan, the governor of Qinzhou, used his policies so harshly that the people resented him, so a rebellion broke out, and Li Yan, the governor of Qinzhou, was killed in the state capital.This Li Yan was also from the Li family in Longxi, and was closely related to Li Tai by blood. He was his grandfather Li Qian's biological brother.

Although this incident took place in the special era of the uprising in the six towns and the turmoil of the people, it can also be seen that the people in Qinlong have a tough style.

Li Tai has held many official positions, and he can be regarded as the second person in Qinzhou under the trust of Dugu, but these Longyou tyrants don't have much respect for his status.His willingness to treat each other with courtesy probably depends more on his background from the Li family in Longxi.

But also because of his background, after many of the local scholars present found out, they subconsciously felt that he was going to use his power to suppress the Tianshui Quan family.

Therefore, not everyone can be kind to him. There are a few tyrants who are close to the Quan family, Qu Shuai, who directly said that the nostalgia here has its own special features. I hope that Li Tai can handle things carefully, and there is a strong warning in his words with a threatening connotation.

Moreover, these people refused to obey the guidance and arrangements of the state officials, and stayed in the camp obediently. Instead, they wandered around casually, saying hello to acquaintances, and occasionally whispering together shoulder to shoulder. .

Obviously, in the minds of these people, Li Tai's status is worthy of being treated with courtesy, but that's all. It's not enough to deter the crowd.

As time went by, more and more tyrants were present, and many people brought their own songs into the camp regardless of dissuasion, and the scene gradually became chaotic.Li Tai's hundreds of tribal warriors and the five hundred state soldiers dispatched by Huangfu Mu seem to have become a group of disadvantaged and out-of-group groups in this camp, squeezed into a small area in the center of the camp in the space.

Li Tai has the natural talent of not panicking when things happen, seeing the situation like this, his mood became calm instead.If these Qinzhou tyrants are as confident as they appear on the surface, why come here to join in the fun?Each of them must also be worried about what changes his actions will bring to the situation in the state.

So he didn't bother to go up to watch those people's performances. He just ordered his subordinates to guard the big tent in the camp that will be used for discussion later, and even the state officials reported that the two families who were originally detained in the camp were arrested. He didn't pay any attention to the tyrants who had entered the camp and released them privately, but just waited for the arrival of the rightful masters of the two families.

"Reporting to Chang Shi, Mr. Yang Shijun, Duke of Huashan in Hezhou, is already outside the camp. The officer asked Chang Shi if he is allowed to enter the camp?"

A state official rushed to enter the account and reported to Li Tai with his hands crossed.

"Hua Shangong? What is he doing here?"

After Li Tai heard this, he was suddenly surprised.Yang Kuan, Duke of Huashan County, was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, and now he is the governor of Hezhou. Although Li Tai knows his name, he does not know him, and Hezhou is far west of Weizhou, adjacent to Liangzhou. As the governor of Hezhou Why did Yang Kuan appear here and come here to join in the fun?
Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Li Tai didn't dare to neglect, stood up hastily, and went out of the camp to meet Yang Kuan himself.

When he came to the gate of the camp, he saw many tyrants who were still wandering around in the camp had already greeted him first, and surrounded Yang Kuan several times.Goodbye to these people's attentive and enthusiastic faces, it can be said that they are truly respectful to Yang Kuan, far from the perfunctory attitude they had when facing Li Tai before.

There is nothing to complain about. Yang Kuan's own prestige far surpasses that of Li Tai. During the mutiny, He Basheng brothers and other Beizhen tycoons were recruited and led by Yang Jun to resist the rebels.

Because of this relationship, Yang Kuan can be said to be the small yamen of the old boss's family that both the Eastern and Western Weis have to recognize, and he himself moved westward with Xiaowu, so Yang Kuan is also a character who can mix in all aspects.

Although the folk customs in Longbian are tough, they are not closed. These tyrants also have their own cunning and cunning in dealing with others, so they naturally dare not be rude to Yang Kuan.

Li Tai stood outside the crowd and waited for a while. The welcome of Yang Kuan came to an end. He walked towards the crowd, and soon saw Yang Kuan surrounded by the crowd.

Yang Kuan was in his 40s, with a square head and a big face, a beautiful beard under his jaw, and a well-tailored brocade robe. Tai, taking advantage of Li Tai's salutation, raised his hand and patted Li Tai on the shoulder, not alienated and indifferent because of the first meeting.

"I heard that there is another young man from the family of friends who has entered the pass, and his reputation in the pass has gradually increased. It is really good to see him today!"

Yang Kuan looked Li Tai up and down, then praised Li Tai with a smile, and then said: "I went to Weizhou a few days ago, and I heard from the Hanoi government that there is a good person in the mansion to help him, so that he has no worries. I also heard that Li Tai Shi You are going to judge the nostalgia here today, and I am really curious, so come to watch, Li Changshi won't mind the interruption without warning, right?"

"Is it okay for Mr. Hua to call him by his humble name? It's exactly what you want when you condescend to come here to see the younger generation's actions. I hope to be corrected. Please come to the camp to rest for a while."

Hearing Yang Kuan said that he came here from Weizhou, Li Tai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was engaged in this battle, he also sent someone to Weizhou to report to Dugu Xin. Probably Dugu Xin was worried that he would not be able to control the situation, so he specially invited Yang Kuan to come over to strengthen his momentum.In this way, even if the development of things is not satisfactory, there is still a little room for buffering, which is much better than Dugu Xin personally going into battle.

After Yang Kuan entered the account and settled down, the tyrants in other states no longer acted recklessly and unruly. They each led the trilogy that was crowded in the camp out of the camp, and then hurriedly entered the account to chat with Yang Kuan After all, the order in the camp had to improve greatly.

After a while, the state official entered the account again and reported that the two families had arrived near Kuomagou, each with nearly a thousand people, each occupying an area outside the camp.

When everyone in the tent heard this, they cheered up immediately, and turned their heads to look at Li Tai to see what he was going to do.

"Order each of the two clans to elect a person who can be the master to enter the account, and all the sages in this seat will cancel this enmity face to face."

Li Tai also corrected his sitting posture in the banquet, and gave orders to the state officials.

The state official took the order to go, but he returned after a while, and there was only a man in his early thirties who followed him.

"Sima and governor of Weizhou, Li Yunxin, have met Huashan Gong."

After this person entered the account, he first saw Yang Kuan who was sitting at the head, and quickly bowed to Yang Kuan.

Hezhou and Weizhou are close to each other on the surface, and Yang Kuan is no stranger to the people in Longbian. He nodded slightly in response, then pointed to Li Tai next to him and said to Li Yunxin: "The person in charge of today's tent, Li Changshi, is you. I don’t know the details of your genealogy, the eldest grandson of Duke Xuanjing, a famous minister of the family, but you two tell yourselves.”

Only then did Li Yunxin turn his attention to Li Tai, and Li Tai was also looking at this person with great interest, not only out of curiosity about his fellow villagers, but also because he had heard of this name before.

Li Tai knew about Li Yunxin, not because he came to this world to learn about him, but because he knew something about him in later generations.Li Yunxin has never been recorded in history, but the reason why he is famous in later generations is because of his deeds of worshiping Buddha.

The Maijishan Grottoes, one of the four major grottoes, the largest one, also known as the Sanhualou, was built by this Li Yunxin when he was the governor of Qinzhou.The scale of Sanhualou is spectacular even if you visit it in later generations, but you can imagine how much manpower and material resources it took to build it in ancient times.

Looking at the famous Buddha-respecting figure standing in front of him, Li Tai couldn't help feeling angry. This prodigal bastard spent so much manpower and material resources to build the Buddhist cave. Isn't becoming a king more enjoyable than building a Buddhist cave?
Although it is said in history that the Buddha Cave was only built during the Northern Anniversary, and there is not even a shadow of it at present, but it does not prevent Li Tai from seeing that this prodigal son is not pleasing to the eye, and intends to squeeze him out in his heart.

Then Li Yunxin also lacked a sense of closeness to Li Tai, even though Yang Kuan pointed out Li Tai's identity, he just bowed and said: "I have seen Li Changshi in my humble position."

Hearing that Li Yunxin had no intention of having a relationship with Li Tai at all, there was a burst of whispering in the big tent.

Although it is said that two Lis cannot be written in one stroke, the relationship between the different clan branches of the Li clan in Longxi is quite distant.

In particular, members of the Li clan of Li Bao's lineage had almost no experience of growing up in Longxi.When Li Yan was a herdsman in his hometown, he didn't seem to care much about the people in the village. When he was in trouble, there were few people from the Li clan in this town who came forward to rescue him, and they were almost strangers to each other. Being implicated, not a few died of the rebels that year.

Li Tai's grandfather, Li Qian, and Li Yan are direct brothers, and this relationship naturally makes Li Yunxin not feel the closeness of being a member of the same family.

Before Li Tai could open his mouth, Li Yunxin continued to say: "Since Li Changshi wants to resolve the family feud, he should know the story here, and he should not talk too much about his lowly position. I don't know what Chang Shi thinks about this, but everyone from my Li clan My son, I don't want to see earth and rocks filling this ditch, but I would rather fill it with the flesh and blood of the Quan clan's bandit clan! If Chang Shi can help fulfill this long-cherished wish, then all the people in this village will surely thank you for your deep friendship!"

Hearing what Li Yunxin said, Li Tai couldn't help laughing out of anger, if I don't join you in the Quan family, wouldn't I be counted as a child of the Li family in Longxi?The special one doesn't pay attention to Lao Tzu, the boss of the Kansai branch appointed by Daxingtai at all!If we don't tidy you up, how can we lead the team?
"Zhuzi's tone is not small! I am standing here today, who are you going to fill the valley with flesh and blood!"

Before Li Tai had time to speak out, another middle-aged man with gray beard rushed into the tent, pointed at Li Yunxin and shouted angrily.

Li Yunxin was not to be outdone, he raised his arm to grasp the handle of the saber, pointed at the man with the other hand and said with a sneer, "Keep the sword diligently, just to kill the old dog of the Quan family!"

Everyone at the scene saw that the two sides were about to draw their swords at each other when they saw a disagreement, and they all became nervous immediately. They stood up and stood on the familiar side to persuade them repeatedly, and at the same time kept frowning and looking at Li Tai: You have brought together the two sides who are in trouble. Come together, don't rush to solve the problem!
Facing the anxious gazes of the crowd, Li Tai just raised his hand unhurriedly to make a move, and not long after, two armored soldiers carried a basket full of earth materials into the tent.

Li Tai stood up and walked off the table slowly, walked to the basket, grabbed a handful of sand in it, rubbed it in his hands while throwing it to the left and right, and said with a smile: "This is the gold bran in the ditch. The ore soil excavated from the mine is indeed a lot of gold, which makes people tempted."

When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and looked at the dust that had been thrown out. Under the sunlight refracted from outside the tent, there were dots of golden light shining in the sand, which was indeed a moving treasure.

Seeing the mine that was related to the knot between the two families, Li Yunxin and Quan's expressions became even more sad, angry and annoyed. They roared angrily and wanted to break away from the person who was pulling them and fight each other desperately.

"stop!"

Li Taidun yelled, and immediately a dozen strong armored soldiers rushed in outside the tent, and pushed the two who were about to go mad on the carpet in the tent, no matter how hard they struggled, they refused to let go.

Li Tai Shi Shi ran back to the banquet and sat down. After looking around at the people present, he looked at the two people who were pinned down on the ground. He said with a sneer, "Your two families really have a deep hatred that is hard to resolve. Even Many of the sages present here who have a deep friendship with your two families have no way to explain it. I, a new visitor from Guanzhong, a short-sighted young man, how can I let your two families put down their enmity? This bloody enmity may be a failure Only one family will be exterminated!"

"Li Changshi, please be careful!"

"The crowd was summoned here just to ridicule?"

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, there was an uproarious discussion in the tent. Several local tyrants couldn't help glaring at Li Tai, and even Yang Kuan, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned.

Li Tai ignored the excitement, but raised his hand and patted the plan in front of him to suppress the voices of the crowd, then turned to the two of them and said, "Looking at the expressions of the two of you, you must agree with me. If that's the case, Then I have a solution to the problem.

Both of you are clan leaders who are the masters of your respective clans, and you both want to put the other party to death.I will give you a chance today, you can each think about how much of the proceeds from this bran gold mine will be donated to me, and whichever sells the most, I will guide the state army servant to help him eradicate the opponent, and leave no one behind! "

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden commotion in the tent, and almost everyone present jumped up in shock, completely unaware that Li Tai's so-called solution was to openly extort bribes from these two families, and then help to eradicate the other party.

Even if this method is not shocking, it is enough to be called deviant.Such an impeccably handsome young man, he never expected that his heart would be so evil and wild.

Li Tai clapped his hands, there were more soldiers pouring into the tent, and he completely controlled the scene here to prevent anyone from rushing out of the tent to disturb the surrounding people, and then ordered the representatives of Li and Quan to be separated into small tents nearby. They weighed their own considerations.

"Sorry everyone, the foreword is just a joke. Of course I will not trample on the ethics of the village order and do such evil things. The reason why I did this astonishing plan is just to let you take a look. What kind of evil intentions and evil consequences can be produced!"

After those two people were led out of the tent, Li Taicai looked at the bewildered people in the tent and said with a smile: "It's boring to sit idle, I would like to ask you to guess, will the two of you agree with the solution I proposed? If you agree , how much benefit will each give?"

At this moment, everyone was not in the mood to answer Li Tai's question. It wasn't because they ignored or neglected him, but because they were in a complicated mood. At the same time, there was a trace of awe in the eyes of Li Tai.
