Northern Dynasties

The number of personnel in the other halls of the Taifu has been greatly reduced, but the qualifications and merits are very strong.Li Tai already had the feeling of a newly promoted boss, but when sitting among these few people, he couldn't help feeling weak and shy.

Li Bi and the others couldn't help being stunned when they saw Li Tai walking in behind Shou Hui, a little surprised that Li Tai could attend the next small meeting.

But Yu Jin was in the hall at the beginning of this morning, after a little thought, he realized that Daxingtai's intention to keep Li Tai was nothing more than greed for his ability to make money and collect things, especially at the moment when the Eastern Wei Dynasty was undergoing drastic changes and Henan was about to be in chaos. Li Tai's ability and role in this aspect undoubtedly became more prominent and became more important.

So when Li Tai walked in, Yu Jin stood up and invited him to sit with him.

When this kid complained in front of Daxingtai before, Yu Jin was a little prejudiced, but now the situation has changed again, and when this person is employed, even Daxingtai himself will not blindly support his nephew Yuwen Sabao, Yu Jin naturally has no point in being a bad person again.

What's more, this kid grew up so fast that even Yu Jin would look sideways in admiration, and dare not boast that he can ignore him, and if there is no accident, this kid can obviously live longer than himself, and there is no need to give it to his children and grandchildren. What personnel hidden dangers are provoked.Young people are scary, and it's no big deal to avoid a seat.

Seeing Yu Jin's appearance, Li Tai felt a little more at ease, and sighed in his heart that it's no wonder that arrogant soldiers and powerful generals always raise their own self-esteem. Although Hou Jing was not raised by him, when he really made a fuss, he The importance of a person with real materials was suddenly strengthened.So after expressing his thanks to Yu Jin, he sat down peacefully.

After a while, Yu Wentai walked into this other hall, his eyes were shining brightly, his face flushed with excitement, he was less concealed when facing these core subordinates in the hall, Before he could sit still, he clapped his fists and said repeatedly: "God help me, God help me!"

Li Tai couldn't help but be amused when he heard this. To be honest, he also felt that during the confrontation between Yuwentai and Gao Huan, Yuwentai was really blessed by God, especially when the key steps were more than coincidences, almost all of them were beyond the limit. In the field of manpower, it's just a fucking rush to send it off.

Just now, there were too many people in the straight hall to ask questions carefully. At this moment, Yu Wentai asked Li Yuan carefully about the current situation in Hebei.When Li Yuan said that Hou Jing had actually occupied the land of the Henan provinces, Yu Wentai couldn't help showing joy again.

It should be noted that the meaning of controlling the states is different from actually controlling the states. Hou Jing was able to control the states in Henan because he was granted the position of Daxingtai in Henan by Gao Huan. The power gained by Gao Huan naturally ceased to exist.

How much influence he has in Henan depends on his power and means after all.It really doesn't make much sense if the original subordinates were besieged from all sides at the beginning of the incident.

A combat map centered on the Heluo area was laid out. The map drawing is naturally not as accurate as that of later generations, but it also marks all the state and county defenses and mountain and river geography in the area.

Although Li Tai has memories from later generations as a reference, this is the first time he has seen the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Weis in real time and intuitively in today's territory, so he is very serious when he stands aside.

Before the Battle of Mangshan, the Western Wei Dynasty still enjoyed a great advantage in the Heluo area. Many areas, including Luoyang, were under the control of the Western Wei army and local powerful people attached to the Western Wei Dynasty.Because of this, Gao Zhongmi, who was far away in Hulao, chose to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty also responded in time.

However, after the Battle of Mangshan, the Western Wei Dynasty lost most of its control over the Heluo area. The east of Tongguan was almost entirely owned by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and only a small number of strongholds between Luoshui and Yishui in the south of Tongguan were retained.

In the past few years, the main focus of the work of Huazhou Bafu has been on internal military and political rectification.Li Yuan, who is based in the west of Henan, just keeps the situation from getting worse, but he doesn't have enough strength to start to restore control of the Heluo area.

As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing’s tendency to be bigger than Henan’s was becoming more and more obvious. Even if he made any strategic moves, it was to establish and strengthen his own authority, not to start from the strategic interests of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so it was just a taste.

On this map, although Yangzhou between Yiluo and Luozhou where Luoyang is located still belongs to the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty, in fact the main control is still in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

And in fact, on the map of the Western Wei Dynasty, there is no state government of Yangzhou at all, Luozhou is still called Sizhou, and Luozhou belongs to Sizhou under Yiyang County.Because Sizhou was renamed Luozhou because of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty naturally did not recognize it. Luozhou in the Western Wei Dynasty refers to the Shangluo area.

Li Tai was not very clear about this series of place name changes, mainly because Yu Jin, who saw him a little dazed, patiently explained it to him.

At the beginning of Hou Jing's uprising, Sima Shiyun, the governor of Yingzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, responded from the city, while Hou Jing induced the governors of Yuzhou, Xiangzhou and Guangzhou.In addition to Sizhou and Beiyuzhou recovered by Hou Jing after the Battle of Mangshan, then in the eyes of the Western Wei Dynasty, what Hou Jing actually controlled was the land of these six states.

From the map, these places happen to be centered on the Heluo area. Guangzhou, Xiangzhou, Yuzhou, Yingzhou, and Beiyuzhou form an encirclement circle that surrounds Sizhou, where Luoyang is located.

In other words, if Hou Jing's surrender is accepted, not only the Heluo area lost in the Battle of Mangshan will be regained, but also a whole circle of buffer zone will be added.

This piece of meat is so fat and oily that people can't help but twitch their index fingers just by listening to it. The temptation can be said to be full!Even Li Tai couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, let alone Yu Wentai.

Emperor Xiaowu was the last emperor in the unified state of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He left Kansai and brought the legal system of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Kansai.Therefore, "Zizhi Tongjian" refers to the west as Wei, and to the east as Eastern Wei.

Zhengshuo, the legal system of the Western Wei Dynasty, allowed Yu Wentai to gain a foothold in Kansai and form a hegemonic regime, but at the same time it also brought him a responsibility, that is, to recover the old capital of Luoyang.

On the other hand, the demand for this aspect in the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been reduced. Anyway, Gao Huan has endured the notoriety of running away from the emperor, so there is no need to attack and defend Luoyang. city.

Therefore, on the battlefield centered on Heluo, the Western Wei Dynasty was actually in a very passive position in terms of overall grand strategy.The two wars at Heqiao and Mangshan both reflected the Western Wei Dynasty's desire for long-term and stable occupation of the Heluo area.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty was much more relaxed, using Heyang as the base for river defense, and then using Hou Jing and other generals to form an outflank against the Heluo area in Henan, and then wait for the Western Wei Dynasty to take the bait and step into this trap.

But now that Hou Jing in Henan is raising troops to rebel, no matter whether he has the sincerity to seek refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty or not, it means that the strategic suppression of the Western Wei Dynasty in the Heluo area of ​​the Eastern Wei Dynasty will be self-defeating.

"That's why Grand Master He Ba acted according to the times before he died! Now that the eastern bandits are in disarray, this is a good opportunity for me to advance aggressively. What do you guys think about this? Feel free to speak up!"

After understanding the current situation in detail, Yu Wentai laughed and said to everyone.

This question also revealed Yuwentai's eagerness to change the status quo. First, he set a tone of "massive advances", and then asked everyone for opinions. The question was nothing more than where to start. If it does not meet this theme , then you can hold back yourself.

Li Tai saw that Yu Jin and Li Bi frowned slightly when they heard this, obviously they were not as optimistic as Yu Wentai in their hearts, as for whether they were worried about Hou Jing or for other reasons, it is unknown.

Li Yuan was the first to speak, this person is worthy of being the choice of Daxingtai's confidant, he stood up and said generously: "I have been in the west of Henan for a long time in recent years, and I have heard a lot that the righteous men in my hometown regret the defeat of the former master Wang. If you enter Luoyang bravely after the chaos, you will be encouraged! I would like to lead the troops to be the pioneers of the division. After the troops settle in Luoyang, we will see what happens next."

It's all right if he doesn't mention the old affairs of Mangshan, but this statement provides others with an objection angle.As soon as his words fell, Yu Jin got up and said: "Hou Jing is a cunning and vicious man. He is good at conspiracies and changes. Today's drastic changes are all made by whispers. It is unknown how it really is. In the past, when the teacher returned to the country, As a result, the sentiment of the public has been scattered and unattached. Although the momentum has recovered, it is still not appropriate to rashly advance."

After Yu Jin finished stating his opinion, Li Bi also said: "I have heard that the past is not forgotten, and the teacher of the future. In the old years, Duke Dugu of Hanoi opened the mansion and King Xianyang first entered Luoyang, Yingyu, Xiangguang and other states One after another, the momentum is not weak.

However, when the bandit army came to attack in large scale, it was still unavoidable to be defended, and people could not be relied on. It was necessary to get reinforcements from the central army, but the opportunity was lost.Although the land in Henan is in chaos, the defense of Heyang is still unresolved. It is not a wise plan to rush into Luoyang. "

The two generals successively expressed their objections to sending troops at this moment. Yu Jin directly expressed his distrust of Hou Jing, while Li Bi analyzed the current situation and believed that the key to enter Luoyang is not Henan, but in Heyang, at this time the soldiers entering Luoyang are likely to attract the attention of the Eastern Wei Dynasty here, so as to share the pressure on Hou Jing and relieve him.

Yu Wentai also attached great importance to the opinions of these two people. After hearing what they said, he frowned and pondered. They are all words of prudence and upholding the country, which make people vigilant. Besides, I also want to hear what Xin Gong Shaojin thinks about this?"

Li Tai was sitting in the banquet, originally only intending to listen to the views and attitudes of these upper-level bosses on this matter, but he was not prepared to speak up. When he heard Yu Wentai directly calling him a question, he was a little flustered and stunned for a while. Hastily corrected his sitting posture and quickly sorted out the thoughts in his heart.

In fact, no matter what reason Yu Jin and Li Bi objected to, it showed that they, the top generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, were more wary of Hou Jing's surrender than surprised.The reason is also very simple, that is, the equity distribution is not easy to handle.

From Yu Wentai's point of view, even if Hou Jing brings capital to invest in shares, it will only expand this business, and will not affect or change the fact that he is the center.But for others, the difference is huge.

Even the big plate of the Eastern Wei Dynasty can't accommodate Hou Jing, an ambitious guy. If the Western Wei Dynasty wants to successfully accept him, how much political status and privileges must be given to him?How many people need to cede their power to make room for Hou Jing in the camp?

Not to mention Yu Jin and Li Bi's level, even Li Tai now thinks about it carefully, and feels that accepting Hou Jing with open arms will bring some damage to his rights and interests.

Yu Wentai specifically named Li Tai, probably because he wanted to hear something new, but he might be disappointed.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Li Tai said, "I don't know much about the situation in Henan, but since your lord is asking about it, let's just let it go. Now that the Chinese and foreign business laws are newly established, most of the sons from Kanxi are just getting involved. Rong Ji seems to be well-trained, but I am afraid that he is lacking in machine changes.

Great changes are imminent, even veteran generals and veterans have not dared to make a firm plan, and the new cutting-edge soldiers feel timid when they leave their hometowns, and they may feel frightened and uneasy when they encounter adversity.

The coming and going of the scene is not driven by morality, nor is it begging for a living. It is an expedient measure for the rebellious thieves who are afraid of being self-sufficient. .

Although the gap between the enemy is a good opportunity to win, but now the situation is not exhausted, and the words are insincere. Instead of responding rashly, it is better to prepare your troops inside, observe the situation outside, and hold the knife and draw the bow to watch the snipe and the clam. "

Compared with Jin and Li Bi's deduction and judgment based on the current situation, Li Tai, who understands the follow-up situation, is naturally more determined about what to do next, so he proposed a new angle, that is, the current military situation of these Kansai troops. I am afraid that my literacy is not enough to face the turbulent and ever-changing chaos in Henan.

Hearing that Li Tai was not in favor of sending troops immediately, Yu Wentai frowned even deeper. He thought it should be a god-given opportunity, but why are there so many things to worry about among the crowd?

Sometimes people with different status and different perspectives will indeed have completely different views and feelings on one thing.

Although Li Tai is not considered an entrepreneurial veteran of the hegemony of the Western Wei Dynasty, he is the biggest vested interest under the Guanzhong standard system, so all his progressive ideas and ideas are centered around Guanzhong. There is really little interest, and at this stage, there is no need or intention to invest the manpower and material resources of Guanzhong into the bottomless pit of Henan.

Even if Yu Wentai wanted to appoint him as Henan Daxingtai and send him to take over Hou Jing's forces, he would not agree.It's not a question of whether he can hold it, but that Henan's current plan and arrangement are out of touch with all his previous plans and arrangements.

"What you said is not without reason. The city of Luoyang has long been dilapidated, and the residents have been separated. It is difficult to hold on to it. Suspending the master's hometown has added many unpredictable disasters. Thieves and chaos are flourishing, and the defeat has not yet been revealed. , Indeed, it is indeed inappropriate to place power lightly among these fighting wolves."

Although Yuwentai is still a little unwilling, but all of you here are the core members of the Bafu, and their respective opinions must be taken seriously. After all, there is an internal harmony before moving with the times. If you can't even achieve the stability and unity of your own internal , then it is really inappropriate to rashly intervene in the civil strife of other families.

Hearing what Daxingtai said, Li Yuan's expression was a little disappointed, and he said again: "The envoy sent by Hou Jing is still in Dongzhen and urgently needs to reply, how should I respond?"

Although it is not suitable to directly give the other party an affirmative answer at the moment, it is also inappropriate to directly reject his request. After pondering for a while, Yu Wentai said: "This matter is of great importance, and it is far from being easily resolved by the Taiwan government. I will report to the court immediately. If things go well, I will ask for a special honorary rank!"

This is to pretend to be false and hang Hou Jing first to see the further development and changes of the situation.

Although Li Yuan was a little disappointed, he could only nod his head and agree. Although the defensive areas in the western part of Henan that he was in charge of seemed to be quite large, their military strength was far from strong. It was okay to maintain the current situation, but it really lacked the strength to advance .

Although the army of the Eastern Dynasty returned from Yubi's defeat, its foundation was not damaged. Heyang's army would go south to conquer at any time. If there were no continuous reinforcements and support from the army of the Houlu Kingdom, although Li Yuan was brave and good at fighting, They did not dare to enter Luoyang easily.

Although this meeting did not reach any exciting plans, it can be regarded as basically determined the way of thinking in the face of the turmoil in the east this time, that is, do not take the initiative or refuse, just like a Neptune, if you have a bargain, you will slip away .

Just when everyone thought that today's meeting would come to an end, Yu Wentai pointed to Li Tai and said, "Boshan Chen said that he will fight hard, and it's really a contingency plan. You told the governors that you have violated the system. I leave it to you to deal with it completely, and if there is a vacancy in the mansion, we will discuss it with the Taiwei and Sikong and make up for it as soon as possible!"

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Li Tai with a look of surprise in their eyes, and Li Tai was flattered for a while, and hurriedly stood up and said: "I will definitely live up to the Lord's favor, and I will do my best to send you back as soon as possible." After military training, you will become a battle-ready teacher!"

After Yu Wentai heard the words, he also laughed, and then said: "I know that your marriage is coming soon, but now I am employing people, but I don't have time to let you go back to my hometown. I believe that with your ability, you can take care of both public and private affairs. Don't let me go." Da Sima came to blame me."

Li Tai was also happy when he heard this, and thought that you gave me such a good opportunity to take care of my brother Sa Bao, and my wife has to wait later!
