Northern Dynasties

Caiyang is located in the northeast of Xiangyang, and it can be reached by crossing the Han River to the east for dozens of miles, but it belongs to the Southern Yongzhou government of the Western Wei Dynasty.

There is a section of Bian River flowing through this area, the river is winding and full of sandbars, the terrain is complex and changeable, and it is not convenient for large groups of people to advance and retreat.

After winter, the Han River flows slowly, but it is not frozen.On this day, hundreds of soldiers took a ferry to board one of the sandbars, cleaned up the sandbar with an area of ​​several acres, harvested all the dry reeds and trees, and opened up the view on the sandbar.

Surrounded by his followers, Yueyang King Xiao Xi boarded this sandbar, looked around, and was quite satisfied with the environment.

"My Majesty, you can place thousands of people on the sandbank, and five hundred fine armored crossbowmen can be placed in the cabins. If something unexpected happens, you can send a signal to the police, and two thousand fine cavalry will come here immediately to help..."

Wang Cao, who joined the army in the palace, followed behind King Yueyang, and carefully introduced to King Yueyang all kinds of security preparations for this appointment.

After hearing this, King Yueyang was quite satisfied, but after a while he said: "All kinds of arrangements are just to be prepared, so Li Boshan will naturally not harbor ill intentions towards me. Seeing that there are too many people on the sandbar, he will feel uneasy. .Only 500 people are left here, and the rest are scattered in the cabin and on the shore."

"This appointment is a bit risky. Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing. Then Li Boshan can be called a famous general among the captives. It is really not to be underestimated."

Wang Cao was still a little worried, so he spoke again.

"Li Boshan comes from a famous family, like a Confucian general who is good at strategy, naturally he doesn't need to fight in person. Besides, even if he has fighting skills, there are many people in my school who are good at this kind of combat."

King Yueyang confidently pointed to the servants around him. He recruited a lot of followers, and naturally there was no shortage of people who were good at fighting.

What's more, in addition to Kong Wu's powerful guards under his command, King Yueyang himself is quite heroic, so he dared to lead more than 3000 elite soldiers into the enemy's territory to attend the appointment pretending to be hunting.

Because he arrived one day earlier than the agreed place, King Yueyang first inspected the Hezhou for a week, and then returned to the shore camp to rest for the night.

Early the next morning, King Yueyang led his troops to the sandbar again.Not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes on the west bank. I followed the reputation and saw several cavalry athletes looking along the coast. They thought they were scouts sent here from the north. After checking the situation here, they turned their horses and headed north. disappears from view.

King Yueyang looked at the backs of these scouts leaving, and a look of envy flashed across his face.Although he led more than 2000 cavalry here this time, most of the horses he used were small Shu horses. Even with a few healthy Longyou horses, it would be difficult to form a battle.On the other hand, because of the convenient location of the northerners, even the mounts ridden by the scout pawns are very handsome.And its overall riding and shooting ability is far beyond that of the southerners, and they are often passive when fighting.

He couldn't help feeling emotional here, so he had to be reminded by his subordinates that there was movement in the north of the sandbar, so he moved forward.

At this time, there was still mist on the river, and a ferry slowly sailed out from the turn of the river in the northwest. Dozens of armored soldiers on board stood on both sides, each holding a spear and holding a knife.And among these powerful soldiers stood a young man who was also tall and straight, with a black gauze head and a fox white fur coat.

"This one is..."

Cai Dabao, who was on the accompanying side, was about to introduce, but was stopped by King Yueyang raising his hand. He just stared at the approaching ship.

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, King Yueyang also saw clearly the faces of the people on the boat. Seeing their handsome appearance, majestic posture, and being surrounded by all the elite soldiers, King Yueyang couldn't help sighing: "Looking at you from the front. Li Renlue's demeanor, it is expected that his family biography should be good. Looking at his son now, he is indeed a blue one. The expression has been refined, and the momentum is even more superior. No wonder Liu Fanggui and others are discouraged before the battle and abandon their weapons. If there is a spirit in the river, I think this is the state ah!"

At this time, the boat has not landed yet, and King Yueyang's words are not flattering to curry favor with the other party.Southerners have always been advocating the love of characters and things, so he made this comment out of habit, and gave an evaluation position to the people he met for the first time.

Li Tai naturally didn't know that the Xiliang emperor compared himself to the river god. When the boat slowly approached the sandbar and stopped, he got off the boat. His eyes naturally fell on King Yueyang who was in the center of the crowd. He walked a few steps quickly and raised his hands in a bow He said with a smile: "Your Majesty's name has been heard for a long time, and today I finally saw the heroic appearance, such a majestic appearance, the reputation of the time is beyond the three points!"

King Yueyang also smiled when he heard this, and took a few steps forward, put his hands flat on Li Tai's elbows, and sighed: "The former Li Dadu's army came to the city and made my city people panic, but now he said that I have Wei Rong, do you think it was insincere?"

"Soldiers are approaching the city, but they dare not enter. The majesty of the king is so majestic, he dare not be disrespectful."

Li Tai replied again, thinking of the previous generous gifts from the other party, he didn't mind lowering his posture.

While the two were exchanging polite greetings here, the attendants had already quickly set up the felt tent curtain, and Li Tai was ashamed that as a landlord, he was lagging behind the distinguished guests. settle down.

Because this meeting with King Yueyang is asking for something, and it is a secret meeting that is not open to the public. It leads to the target who came here: "The former wrote a letter to Li Dadu. It was very presumptuous. He lost control of his feelings just because he loved the current things in Li Dadu's hometown. I ask Li Dadu to forgive me.

I feel sorry for my sovereign body, which is so delicious in this world.I am also stuck in the former. Now that I know it, I should feel sorry for my lord, and season and serve meals for my dear ones.I also know that this material resource is precious and it is not easy to get together, but this feeling is the same as Li Dadu's desire to see the righteousness of his relatives, and I hope Li Dadu can help realize this long-cherished wish. "

Hearing that this guy even talked about moral kidnapping, Li Tai was immediately happy, knowing that the other party was still using his grandfather as a cover, so it was convenient for him to explain internally and externally.

It should be known that private contact with outsiders is a taboo at any time. Li Tai used a five-year plan to get the boss to relax the restrictions on himself. Xiao Xi obviously did not have the right to communicate and interact with foreign forces.

In the past, they came here because of Li Tai's strong military strength, and there was an excuse to rebuild border harmony and maintain border stability.But now it has already involved the topic of business transactions. If he wants to attack without being noticed, he can reduce the risk by making a name for his grandfather to collect rare goods.As for which grandfather the goods will be sold to after getting the goods, it's hard to say.

"Your Majesty's loyalty and filial piety are really touching. Even if there is no previous kindness and righteousness, I am very happy to help fulfill my long-cherished wish after hearing this. However, I just came from Guanxi to Zhenmianbei, and my luggage is limited and there are not many things. It will take a certain amount of time before the goods of various seasons can be transferred here. If you feel powerless in a short period of time, it is by no means self-preservation, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Tai opened his mouth to talk nonsense, with a bit of shame and self-blame on his face, the old Bodhisattva couldn't drink a sip of sugar water when he was old, it's really my fault!

Not long after Li Tai entered the town, the King of Yueyang knew it. After all, this guy came to the south and beat himself up when he arrived in Mianbei, so he didn't doubt him after hearing this, so he asked again He said: "Then may I ask Governor Li, how long will it take if you send a message to the villagers to deliver goods here?"

"Well, it's really hard to say. Although Mianbei and Guanxi are connected by the Wuguan Road, this pass is narrow and difficult to navigate, and the entry and exit of people are strictly controlled. Only teachers and brigades can use it, and private belongings are all prohibited. I used to take advantage of the Dian army to go out of the town to pack up my luggage, but now when I want to transport the goods to the countryside, I dare not use them on public roads. I have to turn to the south of Heluo and Henan, and pass through Sanya Road in Guangzhou. The journey is long and the Because the eastern bandits control Heluo, it's hard to say how long it will take..."

Li Tai said with a sad face again: "I know that once this frosted sugar local product comes to the south, it will be sold by the masses and make a huge profit. If someone else asks, I may just be greedy for a while and just lure it, but for Your Majesty really can't bear to be deceived, so tell the truth."

"Li Dadu supervises your governor Mianbei's military administration, and you can't even temporarily borrow the convenience of the government?"

King Yueyang couldn't help but look anxious after hearing this, and couldn't help but encourage Li Taigong to use his weapon for private use.

After Li Tai heard the words, he smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I was fortunate to be favored by the Hanoi Lord of our country, who matched me with a woman. In the past, the boundary between public and private is not strict. But now my father-in-law is already in an uneasy situation. Dangerous way of smuggling, if someone finds out, it will be hard to argue..."

Hou Jing's rebellion in Henan is the long-term top search list in the world today, and the second place is estimated to be when Dugu Xin will make rebellion in Longyou, so many gloating people are eagerly looking forward to it.

If Li Tai was illegally transporting goods along Wuguan Road at this time, if he knew he was engaged in business, if he didn't know, he would directly guess that the armored staff and weapons were about to separate Mianbei!

Of course, the internal situation in the Western Wei Dynasty was not so sensitive and tense, but it did not prevent Li Tai from using this as an excuse to fool Xiao Xi.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Xi still felt regretful and unwilling, but he was too embarrassed to continue to encourage Li Tai, so he just sat in the banquet and sighed.

Seeing this, Li Tai seemed to be unable to bear it, so after pondering for a while, he made up his mind and said to Xiao Xi: "Since I have already made a bold statement first, and the king is so kind to ask, I am ashamed to swallow my own words. Your Majesty sits in Xiangyang, and the lands of Yongliang and Liang are under control, although it is inconvenient for me to send goods to Mianbei, but if Your Majesty sends people to Hanzhong, I can send the villagers to Hanzhong via Ziwu Road!"

Hearing this, King Yueyang's face immediately brightened, but then dimmed again, and he said with some embarrassment: "Liangzhou is not within my authority, even if I want to receive the goods in Hanzhong, it is impossible..."

What are you talking about!
I know you can't handle Hanzhong, so don't you still have me?We colluded internally and externally, worked all the way up the Han River, and held the Han River in the hands of the brothers. Guanzhong received the goods from the Han River. Wouldn’t it be nice to sit on the ground and divide the spoils among the Han River?

Remember the martyrs, don't forget the national humiliation! ! !
