Northern Dynasties

Li Tai had already guessed in his heart, of course he didn't want to miss such a big event, seeing people coming and going in and out of the hall, he stood up first and stood on one side.

Li Yuan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, stepped up to the hall, first paid his respects to the Daxing platform sitting on the hall, and then said hello to Yu Jin and the others one by one, and when his eyes fell on Li Tai, he was slightly surprised at first , immediately nodded with a smile.

After Li Tai saw this, he also nodded in response to Li Yuan. Speaking of which, the first person he met with these three brothers was Li Yuan in front of him, but now Li Yuan is the stranger.The other two brothers, Li Xian and Li Mu, have a good relationship with Li Tai, and they have conspired and worked together, especially Li Mu, who even raises his son at home.

As early as the eve of the Battle of Mangshan, when Li Yuan was ordered to go to Hulao to meet Gao Zhongmi, Li Tai had met him, but since then there has been no chance to work together.

Now that he has established a firm foothold in the Western Wei Dynasty, he no longer needs to rely on Li Yuan's influence, but instead has to be wary of Li Yuan who is going to stab his father-in-law with a knife in the near future.

Yu Wentai was also extremely enthusiastic about this confidant who had just returned to the country, so he stood up and stepped down to greet him, not to mention the business, first asked Li Yuan if he had eaten, and waited to find out that he had traveled day and night to return and had no time to eat , Immediately, he ordered the servants to quickly bring food and drink into the hall again, and rolled up his sleeves to become the meat-cutter brother again.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai was filled with emotion in his heart. Seeing his boss's attitude, even if he couldn't win the world, it would be no problem to set up a barbecue stall to support his family.

Taking advantage of the time when Li Yuan was eating, many people were called into the hall one after another from various parts of the Taiwan government, all of whom were military and political officials of the Taiwan government.In particular, several major governors of the Chinese and foreign armies who had just entered and reorganized were all present.

Yu Wenhu also entered the hall together with his cousin He Lanxiang, his eyes stopped on Li Tai for a while, and then he quickly turned to the side, as if turning a blind eye to Li Tai.

Li Tai is still immersed in the deduction of the development of the current situation, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to Yu Wenhu.But after seeing Yu Wenhu like this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He knew that no matter what the result was this time, he would offend Yu Wenhu, but he didn't want to bother others about it.Not to mention that there is still a long time before Yu Wenhu is in power and can live and kill at will, even if that day comes, Li Tai will never stand still and let his people slaughter him.

It's not that he has surpassed Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui in terms of status and prestige, but that there is an essential difference in their foundations.What's more, even if it entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty from the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not a unified regime, and Yu Wenhu, a hegemonic official, was at best a coward.

The friendship between each other has turned bad, but it can't be said whose loss it is.Yu Wenhu is not a person who is self-willed right now, but the fact that he is narrow-minded makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, although Li Tai's talent was exposed, his status and prestige were inferior to others, and he could get along with each other amicably. However, as Li Tai's status grew, and even surpassed Yu Wenhu, this relationship was not easy to maintain. up.In other words, if he wants to continue to be friends, Li Tai has to take extra care of Yu Wenhu's inner feelings.

But even if it is between a man and a woman, it must be a two-way love to be the most beautiful.If there are still many worries and taboos between friends, it is really ridiculous.If various factors such as power and interests are mixed in, it will make this relationship more difficult to handle, and it is inevitable that they will gradually drift away and eventually completely break off the relationship.

With all the important civil and military officials in Huazhou City entering the mansion, and others who were far away and couldn't come back for a while, the meeting officially started.

Yu Wentai looked around at everyone in the hall, and immediately announced a very good news, Gao Huan died!

Following the announcement of the news, there was a series of exclamations and discussions in the hall, and the faces of all the civil and military officials showed surprise, joy, suspicion and disbelief.

A person's position in the situation is probably determined by the opponent's reaction to the situation.

Li Tai looked at the surprised and suspicious looks of the people in the hall, and couldn't help feeling that although Gao Huan failed to completely unify the entire north, he was also a well-deserved protagonist of this era.

The mutiny of the Six Towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to this regime that had unified the north for many years but had already become severely corrupted internally.

Er Zhurong can be said to be the lucky one of the times. His power is located between the town soldiers and the imperial court, and he also acts as a buffer and communication hub between the two. Short-sightedness and arrogance ultimately ruined Erzhu's hegemony.

Gao Huan is not the protagonist of destiny, even after the Mutiny of the Six Towns, he is neither as decisive as those who dared to resist the righteous, nor as brave as the defenders of order such as the Heba brothers.

All he has is a restless heart, pretentious and unwilling to be lonely, but he can't find the right goal of struggle at all, like a headless fly running around, except for being handsome and loves to toss, he is useless.

Gao Huan's personal experience can be described as a microcosm of the changes in the fortunes of people in the entire six towns.They are equally restless, full of longing, and want to change their circumstances through struggle, but because they do not know how to do it, they will only cause more harm, hurt others, hurt themselves, and hurt the world even more.

It was not until Er Zhuzhao handed over the remnants of the Six Towns to Gao Huan's hands that they seemed to meet each other as if they were destined to meet each other. They were united and never left, and they rose rapidly in a very short period of time, almost miraculously. From a marginal figure in the world to the absolute center of the current situation!
Gao Huan's personal struggle process is the process of the residents of the six towns undergoing ups and downs in the torrent of this era.To some extent, Gao Huan represented the Six Towns, and the Six Towns also made Gao Huan!
Although during this period, influential figures in the six towns also emerged in endlessly, and Gao Huan's destined enemy Yu Wentai was even more important.

But including Yu Wentai, none of them are as comprehensive as Gao Huan's representative of the Six Towns.Even He Bayue, who became famous earlier than Gao Huan, only represented the guarding side of the order by the soldiers.

Therefore, from the mutiny of the Six Towns during the Zhengguang period to the end of the Battle of Yubi last year, the entire north can be called the Gaohuan era.It's not that he is the strongest person in this era, but that his life is the most typical representative of this era, and he has achieved the most brilliant success in life.

Li Tai was not the only one in the hall who was filled with emotion after hearing the news, there were many old men from Beizhen present, and their expressions were also rather complicated. They were not just purely happy to hear that a powerful enemy was killed, but probably also had mixed feelings.

Gao Huan's death can be said to mark the end of an era, and it marks that the Beizhen soldiers will gradually fade out of the central stage of history.

Needless to say in the Western Wei Dynasty, after the end of the Battle of Mangshan, many Beizhen military leaders gradually became empty skeletons with few parts. The new military system will completely replace the old Xianbei military system, whether it is organizational structure or organization member.

As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, although they still have the strong foundation of the Six States and Xianbei, it should be more accurate to use the new concept of "Jinyang Honors" to call them.

There are fewer and fewer tastes belonging to Beizhen. Even if the personnel are the same as yesterday, the core has already changed or is undergoing profound changes.Even the successors of Gao Huan's career are gearing up and eager to build a new order.

If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.At the same time, if it is just blindly nostalgic and refuses to face up to and accept the emergence of new things, it will eventually be abandoned along with the times.

What surprised the crowd present was not only the shocking news itself, but also the source of the news.

The relevant information was not sent back from Jinyang, but from Hou Jingchu in Henan.At the same time, it also brought a more exciting news, that is, Hou Jing rebelled, betrayed the Eastern Wei Dynasty and surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty!

Rao Li Tai knew about this development early on, but when he heard Yu Wentai announced the news in a high-pitched tone, and the crowd present almost uniformly exclaimed, he couldn't help feeling a lot of evil in his heart: Look at you! You look like you have never seen the world, you have no idea what kind of impact and changes Hou Jing will bring to the situation of the whole world!
Of course, the following developments have nothing to do with whether you have seen the world or not. It is completely a test of the imagination of all people in the current situation. If you can't imagine it, it can't happen.Especially Bodhisattva Xiao, with his profound Dharma and broad mind, proved and practiced the feasibility of physical sanctification to the world!
Not to mention the various evil thoughts in Li Tai's mind, Yu Wentai announced the news, and Li Yuan, who had hurried back from the west of Henan, confirmed that Hou Jing had indeed raised the flag of rebellion, and everyone present was discussing again.

If it is difficult to tell whether the news of Gao Huan's death is true or not, and even if it is confirmed, it will not immediately bring about a real change in the situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, then the impact of Hou Jing's betrayal of the Eastern Wei Dynasty can be great. It's much more direct.

In the Battle of Yubi last year, Hou Jing was originally ordered by Gao Huan to lead the Henan troops to the north to join the army, but he directed and acted out a trick of fleeing, retreating to Heyang City and watching Gao Huan's army return home in defeat. After that, Hou Jing also led his troops back to Hulao City on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The reason why Hou Jing dared to obey Gao Huan's orders, and even rebelled openly now, is of course inseparable from the development of his own power.

Gao Huan was already deep in the city, and of course he would not be absolutely at ease with Hou Jing. When he was appointed to Henan, he also imposed various personnel constraints and restrictions to divide and balance his power.

But with the passage of time, these personnel settings have gradually lost their original functions.The Battle of Mangshan Gao Zhongmi surrendered Northern Yuzhou to the Western Wei Dynasty, which further overdrawn the accumulation of personnel left by the Hebei family in Henan after Gao Aocao's death. Later, Hou Jing led his troops to recover Hulao, making it more stable in its dominant position in Henan .

Although Gao Huan is superior in strategy and strategy, he has to say that the times will arrange corresponding opportunities for everyone and manpower is hard to change. Although he has frequently resorted to tricks, Hou Jing still gradually grows bigger than Henan under his attention.When Gao Huan planned to launch the Battle of Yubi last year, he had to publicly recognize Hou Jing's power and status in Henan, and officially conferred it as Henan Daxingtai.

Therefore, when the generals heard the news of Hou Jing's rebellion, they were all very excited, which meant that the situation in the entire Central Plains and surrounding areas would undergo tremendous changes.And whenever turmoil comes, it is naturally an opportunity for these generals to perform and make contributions.

So several major governors of the Chinese army clasped their fists to fight, even Yu Wenhu, who was sitting at the same table with He Lanxiang, blushed a little with excitement, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he could really do it if he was asked to go to the battlefield.

However, these generals are mainly targeting the Heluo area, hoping to take advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and take care of themselves, and send troops to the east to recover the Heluo territory that was abandoned in the previous Battle of Mangshan.

But for Hou Jing's request for surrender and help, they were not very enthusiastic, and they didn't even receive this message effectively, so there was no question of trust or not.

After all, the Chinese Army of the Overlord's Mansion was a new venture, and during this process, Li Tai made contributions all the way, and was promoted from a mere white body to one of the current Hushi Kaifu and one of the four commanders of the Chinese Army.Of course, these generals who also commanded the Chinese army also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the team and make meritorious deeds while taking advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

However, although these newly-appointed generals are eager to fight, other people present have different attitudes and opinions.

Senior generals such as Yu Jin and Li Bi were not in a hurry to express their views, while officials of the Taiwan government, such as Chang Sun Jian, hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them. Large-scale military operations, especially when the situation is still unclear and the course and outcome of the war are unpredictable, it is very dangerous to launch a war rashly.

Originally, these questions did not need to be informed to the generals present, but Changsun Jian and others were also worried that the audience of Daxingtai would be overheated under the eager instigation of the battle, and thus have some too aggressive ideas, so they could only send all kinds of materials from the Taiwan government. The status quo of the desperation of savings was counted one by one, as if a basin of cold water was being poured on everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall cooled down visibly with the naked eye.

At this time, another general stood up and said: "Last year, Li Dadu led his troops across the river and directly attacked Jinyang. Before the attack, the government did not allocate too many supplies. To support the war with war, to feed the enemy with food We all know the art of war, but let the army rush into Heluo, so why worry about having no food..."

Yu Wentai was still hesitating at first, but after hearing this, he immediately made up his mind not to enter the arena in a hurry. Gao Huan died of illness and Hou Jing rebelled. The people go to the opposite side?Also because of food for the enemy, who is the enemy?You guy was sent by the opposite side to engage in a united front!

"I would like to inform you about today's matter. The eastern bandits are gradually showing signs of impoverishment, and the general reunification is expected. But before the matter is settled, each of us still needs to stick to what we do, wait for orders, and not slack off!"

The more people there are, the harder it is to form a consensus decision. It is also difficult for Yuwentai to call the crowd here to share the good news with the masses. As for the real decision, of course, the close-door discussion is continued with the confidants.

So after announcing the news, he signaled everyone to return to their duties, and those who participated in the next meeting should go to the other hall to wait.When he saw that Li Tai was still looking around in the banquet, he raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and go out with Duke Changle!"
