Northern Dynasties

After last night's carnival and hangover, most of the generals in the camp today are as listless as some Hui, and many of them are still sleeping with their heads covered in their tents until the sun is up.

Yu Wentai also slept until noon before getting up, sat in the inner tent for a while, woke up for a while, and then began to summon the subordinates and deal with affairs.

He still remembered Li Tai talking about the old man in Mangshan yesterday, after thinking for a while, he asked Zhao Gui to enter the account, and when he entered the account, he saw a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes and a tired face Looking at his appearance, he asked with concern: "Yuangui didn't sleep well last night? If there is something wrong in your body, you can go there and don't hide your mistakes!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. There is nothing serious in the subject's body. I am afraid that the official business will be accumulated in the hall, so I take it with me to deal with it, and I can't sleep at night without knowing it."

After Zhao Gui heard the words, he quickly cheered up and answered, and then raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned, and then bowed his head again and said: "There are many things to do at the end of the year, and to depose officials. I am a martial artist who has been favored by the constitution. Taiwan, only sincere in doing things, dare not slack off!"

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Su Chuo and other key officials in the Taiwan government, the Western Wei Dynasty has now formed a very effective official evaluation and appointment system. Although the foundation is still weak, the management of officials is more effective than the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

The inspectors who are in charge of Yushitai also have a high voice in this matter, so they are busy at the end of the year when officials are promoted or dismissed.

However, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that people who are as busy as Zhao Gui said can’t even sleep. In the government, they have made great achievements in Taiwan, and they are the chief officials.

The reason why Zhao Gui acted as if he was very busy and couldn't get away from important military affairs was mainly because of what Li Tai said yesterday, he was worried that the Lord would really send him to Beizhou to deal with this matter.

Beizhou is the old lair of that kid's forces, and it also has many jihu forces. If he goes there, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. , It really made him feel guilty from the bottom of his heart.

But he also came here for whatever he was afraid of. When Yu Wentai heard what he said, he also sighed and said: "Yuan Gui is a veteran in the battlefield. It is indeed embarrassing for you to let you abandon your sword and write and cut off your affairs. But As an official of the Taiwan Province, it is good to be diligent in political affairs, but more importantly, to know people and make good use of them. Human resources have their own strengths and weaknesses, and learning from each other can get twice the result with half the effort."

Zhao Gui nodded immediately when he heard this, but he already had a faint feeling in his heart, you said that dealing with common affairs is not something I am good at, do you want to arrange other things for me?

Sure enough, before his thoughts changed, Yu Wentai said again: "Li Boshan said earlier that the mangshan deceased who was rescued during this trip, I hope you, Yuangui, will suffer a lot and go to Suizhou to deal with all the members properly. Lead back to the mansion."

When Zhao Gui heard this, his face immediately collapsed.But Yu Wentai didn't notice the change in his expression, but continued to sigh and said: "The failure of the old year and the disastrous defeat of the armies made these soldiers trapped in the bandit camp. Fortunately, they are able to return safely now. Youjia comforts.

What's more, the innovation of the Sixth Army now requires these loyal veterans to join the army as the backbone.I know Yuangui you also have regrets about this story, but there is no point in regretting the past.Focus on the current personnel affairs, and be full of willpower, in order to avenge shame in the coming year! "

Speaking of this, Yu Wentai is also full of expectations.Although he did not personally lead an army against He Liuhun's army in this year's Jade Bi battle, it was obvious that the Eastern Dynasty's strength and ambition had declined.

This gave him the time and opportunity to continue to grow himself, and one day he would no longer have to huddle in Kansai, and lead his men and horses to drive to Kanto, and fight Gao Huan again to decide the ownership of the world!
Yuwentai is full of ambitions here, but Zhao Gui has a difficulty in his heart.Hearing the lord sigh again about the old things in Mangshan, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, worried that the lord might recall his unfavorable things in battle again.

Although he thought he had tried his best, the Eastern Army's offensive at that time was really too fierce, and I'm afraid that other people might not be able to do better than him.But time has passed, and these words only dare to comfort myself in my heart, forcing myself to spread it to people's ears will only make myself more unseemly.

"My lord is benevolent and sympathetic to the dead. It is touching. I dare not say anything. It's just, it's just that I and Li Boshan have had a lot of quarrels... Although I am here on business this time, I am afraid that his ministry may not be able to stop at official business. Your minister Although there is no need to worry about your safety, but if you miss the official business..."

Although he didn't dare to shirk this mission, after thinking about it, Zhao Gui couldn't help expressing his worries. His own safety was at stake, so he couldn't care less about exposing his inner feelings for Li Tai. The fear and fear of this kid.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Gui in disbelief.Zhao Gui was a little ashamed by this look, and hastily lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

After a while, Yu Wentai sighed again: "This Li Boxan is really a fearsome young man. In just a few years, my confidants and generals can't avoid it. But how is it compared with those fierce and stubborn people in the old years? I still remember Yuangui's old years Courageous and resolute, not alarmed when in chaos, what is the reason for the strangeness that has clouded the wisdom of the mind? You might as well try a word or two, and I may be able to dispel it for you."

Although the tone was not harsh, the meaning it revealed was not good, and it almost wrote his disappointment with Zhao Gui directly on his face.

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed! I lost my words in a moment of panic..."

Zhao Gui hastily stood up and apologized, but Yu Wentai waved his hand to signal him to return to the table and sit down, and then he said: "For example, a horse with a bad temperament in the stable is unwilling to grow peacefully, rushes and bites the fence, but the owner still Not being able to bear to kill them with a stick is because they are greedy for their ability to travel thousands of miles a day after they grow up.

Li Boshan is young and strong, I still have to use his strength properly.Yuangui, you are mature and prudent, you don't want to fight with him and tell me bluntly, it's better than suppressing young talents in secret, but there is no need to evade and retreat.

You can go on the road with peace of mind during this trip to Beizhou, and tell me about your experience in detail when you come back. If you make things difficult for me, I will punish you tenfold!Even if it is a famous horse thousands of miles away, it can be tolerated if it destroys my fence, but if it touches my relatives and friends, it will cause great harm! "

After Zhao Gui heard this, he didn't dare to say anything else, but nodded his head.And Yu Wentai didn't want to keep him talking to appease him anymore, he waved his hand to signal that he could go back and pack his bags.

For Zhao Gui, especially for his performance in recent years, Yu Wentai is indeed rather disappointed.

People's courage, ambition, and broad-mindedness are not only revealed in things, but can be glimpsed in daily speech, behavior, and dealing with people.

In the early years, Zhao Gui was well-planned, cautious and calm when things happened, so he was able to protect himself and his clan power during the mutiny in the six towns, and enjoyed a high reputation among the township party.

Especially when Yuwentai took over Hebayue's old department and stabilized the situation in the early years of Datong, Zhao Guizhen made great efforts. At one time, Yuwentai even made his own decisions about people and things, and still had to discuss with Zhao Gui. Once you confirm that there is nothing wrong, you will proceed to execute it with confidence.

But people change, and with the passage of time and the changes in circumstances, the views on people and things will also change.These changes are inevitable, some are good, some are bad, and even Yu Wentai himself cannot guarantee that his original intentions will be the same as before.

The changes that have happened to Zhao Gui are also obvious. His ambition and responsibility are not as good as before. He is proud of his current status and status, and he is cautious and dare not take risks with his own life. He even worries about whether Li Boshan will harm Beizhou , It is conceivable that this kind of prevention is almost paranoid.

However, Yu Wentai was disappointed and disappointed, not to mention that he was disgusted with it. On the contrary, because of Zhao Gui's change, he trusted Zhao Gui more and less guarded against him.If he is still gearing up for a big fight, Yu Wentai has to think carefully about who this guy wants to do?

Of course, it's also because Yu Wentai himself has heard too much of Li Tai's hot and sincere flattery, and because of his status, he can't really feel the benefits that Li Tai's rapid rise in recent years has brought to these domineering old people. Shock and pressure.

In the afternoon, the battalion soldiers began to pack their bags and set off, not to return to Huazhou, but to cross Luoshui and go straight to Chang'an.It's the middle of the twelfth lunar month now, and when the brigade arrives in Chang'an, it's almost time to start various rituals for the New Year.

When they went on the road again, Li Tai still continued the favored and courteous treatment of yesterday. Yu Wentai ordered to reward Li Tai with his own horse to ride on, and called him to ride with him from time to time to discuss current affairs.

The most discussed topic among each other is naturally related to the Eastern Wei Dynasty.Although this time the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was blocked outside the city of Yubi, and their home was stolen, which made people happy, but it still did not change the fact that the army of the Overlord Mansion of the Western Wei Dynasty was blocked and forced to export.

Yu Wentai has been able to confront Gao Huan for many years, and gradually reversed his own disadvantages. Naturally, he is also deeply ambitious. Of course, he is not satisfied with just protecting himself under the power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and often wants to turn suffering into attack.

So when talking to Li Tai, a subordinate who just returned from a field trip to Jinyang, Yu Wentai also wanted to hear Li Tai's views on the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When will the time for a big counterattack come?

Before going to Jinyang, Li Tai actually had fantasies about the Eastern Wei Dynasty and had a high regard, thinking that it should be better than the Western Wei Dynasty in every aspect.

But after a field visit, he was a little disappointed.This is not the arrogance after stealing the house, but I really feel that the Eastern Wei Dynasty is the same thing in my heart. Jinyang soldiers are very strong, and often a small group of troops can cause him a lot of trouble, and the combat effectiveness is really incredible. Underestimated, but that's all.

Although he was just wandering around, the various reactions he made under this stressful state can actually reflect a deep-seated problem within the organization.

As far as his own feelings are concerned, he felt that the personnel structure of the Jinyang Bafu was simpler than that of the Huazhou Bafu. Li Tai did not feel any clear division of labor and execution during the attack on Jinyang and the withdrawal.

Of course, this is not enough to prove that the Jinyang Overlord's Mansion is inferior. It is precisely because Gao Huan's personal prestige and power skills are higher, so there is no need to deliberately build a complete and cumbersome Overlord's administrative system.In the original history, the system construction of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have a systematic foundation and construction until the Gaoyang period.

Another thing that impressed Li Tai deeply was the deep estrangement within the Northern Qi society, not only the estrangement between races, but also the estrangement between classes and groups.

Although the army and the people live together in the same space, they seem to be divided into two different dimensions. A large amount of social resources are tilted towards the army. Although the Western Wei Dynasty is also unavoidable for this militaristic style, the pressure to raise the army is still smaller than that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Much more, a large number of country group private songs do not require the Bafu to bear the daily maintenance costs.

Xianbei, the six states that the Eastern Wei Dynasty relied on for strength, is indeed a sharp minion that can tear the enemy to pieces in the war, but once the resources obtained from the outside are insufficient, it will consume itself unstoppably.

Although the foundation of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is relatively good, it is only relatively speaking. What's more, there is such a huge group of food from the upper class to the bottom soldiers. Once they fall into a long-term confrontation with the surrounding forces, they will Under great pressure, internal turmoil will continue due to the unfair distribution of benefits.

Gao Huan was lucky, he took over the huge Beizhen faction group from the Erzhu family without bloodshed, but he was also unfortunate, his path and the fate of his descendants were doomed at this moment, or he could drive this killing machine The machine will wipe out all opponents, or sink with them.

The town soldiers were the core of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi regimes, and all their actions were aimed at satisfying this core demand.Anything that goes against it will be violently destroyed.So although the Northern Qi had a very good system and laws, they were all castles in the air, because the town soldiers didn't need them.

In the entire Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties, the only one who was expected to break through this fateful bondage was Wenxuan Emperor Gao Yang. When Gao Yang's attempt failed, the latecomers could only pretend to be self-deprecating.

Li Tai will naturally not share these views with Yuwentai, but he can only give a negative answer to Yuwentai's plan to get back in the near future. Don't keep thinking about going to other people's graves to dance disco, let's go step by step Let's start with the easy and then the difficult.

At least in my case, compared with He Liuhun, you won. After all, what kind of opponent did Gao Huan face when he rose up, but what you faced was Gao Huan.Start against the wind and work to unify Liuhe. Although the final achievement is not up to you, it is finally the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade.

Just chatting along the way, a few days later the team arrived at the north bank of the Weishui River, and the envoys sent by the court to greet them were already waiting here, including Dugu Xin, who was newly appointed as the Grand Sima and had just returned from Longyou .

When he saw the Daxing trolley approaching, and Yu Wentai waited until Li Tai asked before he stopped the car, and after Li Tai helped get off the car, he held Li Tai's wrist with his backhand and walked towards the group of people , Dugu Xin's smiling face suddenly sank, and he sneered twice.
