Northern Dynasties

Li Tai didn't care about Cai Dabao's lack of power.The most important thing for him right now is that Yue Yang Wang Xiao Xi can take this first step. Even if the effect achieved at the beginning is not as good as expected, it is enough to continue to work hard.

After reaching a consensus with each other, the next step is the specific combat plan.For King Yueyang, it is not only necessary to ensure the success of the plan, but also to cover up the truth as much as possible, so as not to be used by others to find a way to attack him.

Li Tai didn't have any objection to this. At present, there is no chaos and order in Nanliang, so he also needs Xiao Xi to maintain his current position of power in order to protect and develop his plan.If Xiao Xie was exposed and his post as governor of Yongzhou was revoked, it would also be a major setback to his plan.

Xiangyang's plan is to transport supplies up the Han River on the grounds of rewarding the army. Li Tai's Jingzhou trilogy crosses the Han River and goes all the way to the south, capturing the two counties with lightning speed, and taking Jingzhao Du's All important members were slaughtered.

In order to ensure that the actions will not be leaked, the soldiers and civilians of the two counties can be forced to move to Mianbei by Li Tai's men.Although the two counties are home to overseas Chinese, there should be as many as two to three thousand households in total between the military and civilians, which is a considerable number of human resources.

The key to Li Tai's conception of this timing is to lead Yueyang King to the Dao, but he doesn't expect to directly gain any benefits in the action. Anyway, when Nanliang is completely in chaos, all of this must be his, but it does not exclude the immediate Interests.

Since the other party proposed such a distribution method, he also agreed to it.How can such a big operation be guaranteed to be watertight? The so-called secrecy is nothing more than nothing.Those people can no longer stay on the south bank of the Han River, and it is not a bad ending to go to Mianbei to work as an average farmer and farmer.

It's just that Li Tai felt that it was necessary to modify the action idea proposed by Xiao Xi, and he didn't intend to let the troops cross the Han River ahead of time.One is to prevent the other party from being careless in planning and being implicated by pig teammates. The second is that Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have a different military appearance than Liang Jun. Once they are active in Hannan for a long time, the risk of exposure will also increase.

So he proposed a new plan, that is, his men and horses will gather on the north bank of the Han River, and Xiao Xi's men and women will swindle Xinxing county and city by themselves, and then take Jingzhou's men and horses to the past by boat, relying on the strong cavalry advantage Lock the perimeter of the territory, eliminate the possibility of the enemy breaking out, and calmly encircle and annihilate the environment.

Cai Dabao did not have the right to directly agree to Li Tai's suggestions for adjusting the action plan, and had to go back to King Yueyang for instructions.

But now that the end of the year was approaching, in order to avoid the back-and-forth bargaining, Li Tai directly ordered Linghu Yanbao and other generals to lead [-] elite riders to set off first, with Liu Fanggui and several hundred soldiers from his headquarters as guides to accompany the army.

If King Yueyang agrees to this plan, then he can directly send boats in Xinxing County to pick up Jingzhou people and horses to cross the south of the Yangtze River.If there is a loss of contact, then Linghu Yanbao and others will directly search along the Han River and return to Jingzhou, and there will be no loss.

This action was not a big battle, and it did not require Li Tai to lead his troops there in person.Now that his power is getting stronger and stronger, he also needs to cultivate the ability of his generals to be independent, and he no longer needs to do everything himself.

Moreover, Jingzhou now needs him to sit in the town in person. The performance appraisal method drawn up by Cui Qian and other state officials has gradually spread among counties and counties. At the same time, it is not suitable to leave Jingzhou for a long time at the moment.

The dusty Cai Dabao returned to Xiangyang again, told Yueyang King about Li Tai's adjustments to the plan, and conveyed the news that Jingzhou's troops had already set off.

After listening to this, King Yueyang couldn't help sighing: "Li Boshan is really young and courageous. Since I work together as an accomplice, how can I fall behind the young disciples? It is also necessary to go to the city first to win the trust of others. Righteousness, quickly arrange personnel and go west!"

Once a decision was made, King Yueyang's mobility was not low either. While dispatching Cai Dabao as an envoy to Jingzhou, he was already transferring his descendants out of Xiangyang in batches, lest the sudden dispatch of the brigade would surprise the eyes and ears.

In recent days, he has also given preferential treatment to the newly appointed state capital Sima Du'an. He has hosted banquets in the palace several times, with an attitude of daunting the prestige of the King of Eastern Hunan and abandoning his past suspicions, eager to repair their relationship.

So this time, he took advantage of the New Year's Eve and dispatched troops to transport money and goods to reward the garrison troops in the surrounding cities, which naturally included the two counties occupied by the Du family, which was not surprising in the eyes of everyone.After all, when the Western Wei Dynasty came to invade, the King of Yueyang gathered money, food and troops in Xiangyang. The military crisis was over and the festive season was approaching, so we should share it with everyone.

In order to further paralyze the Du family, King Yueyang even handed over the matter to Du An, the state capital Sima, for specific execution.Du An was naturally not polite for this convenience. He arranged the largest number of reward materials for his own power territory, and the required transportation team was naturally even larger.

Du An here is still proud that the brothers in the western region can benefit from their position and have a good year, but they don't know that this large-scale transportation team was intercepted shortly after leaving the city, and all kinds of goods They were sent to the warehouses along the coast, and replaced by excellent bows, crossbows and armor staff, as well as a transportation team that was more than doubled in size.

There has been peace in Nanliang for a long time. Although Yongzhou was disturbed by a military disaster this year, the enemy stopped in Fancheng to the north of the Han River and did not disturb Xiangyang on the south bank.Although Fancheng's army and people's trip to the north has added a lot of family worries this year, but as the end of the year approaches, the joyful atmosphere of celebrating the festive season still dominates the mainstream.

As a result, shops and shops in the city are full of people buying goods, and ordinary people try their best to put on bright and brand new clothes.

Not to mention the virtuous fathers and elders in the village called on the villagers to come to the city to worship King Yueyang for his good governance in front of the state capital, so as to protect the people from the war disaster and let them live a new year happily.

Naturally, King Yueyang was very pleased that the villagers were so knowledgeable, and ordered the government officials to bring out several large baskets of iron coins, and throw them on the long street in front of the residence as rewards.

Although the iron money is light and thin, it would be quite painful if it was dropped by a pocket, but at this moment, the crowd obviously didn't care about it, and cheered and thanked them while laughing and picking up the money.More and more people gathered in front of the gate of the state capital, and there was a cheerful picture of sharing the joy with the people.

Although Xiangyang City is bustling and lively, it is unavoidably too noisy and crowded, and it is not considered a first-class livable environment.

Ordinary people can't resist all kinds of dangers outside the city, so they have to live in the city. However, for some powerful and powerful families with tribal armies, it is only free and comfortable to occupy a landscape outside the city to build gardens and manage their business.

In the past, people from these wealthy clans were scattered all over the country, either as officials or in business, so it was inevitable that they would gather less and leave more.But when it comes to the New Year's Eve, the clansmen try their best to get away and return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and visit their relatives.

So as early as a few days ago, many officials in the state capital had frequently asked for leave, and less than half of them could still work straight.King Yueyang was deeply loved by the people this year, and he was also in a good mood, so he simply announced the blockade of the government hall and the suspension of office work, and let all the officials go home to celebrate the festive season, and make new achievements when they return to the government next year.

There is Wanshan Mountain in the west of Xiangyang City, and there is a water pool under the mountain named Wanshan Lake, also known as Shenbei Lake.

It is rumored that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Du Yu had a good reputation for future generations, and felt that the vicissitudes of the world were changing. When he was in Xiangyang, he recorded his achievements in the Ping Wu. It is a valley, and a deep valley is a mausoleum. Later generations can see the inscriptions and know their merits.

Beside the Wanshan Lake, there is a garden villa building, which is the place where the Jingzhao Du clan lived. Specifically, Du Huaibao, the former governor of Liangzhou, lived on the side of the Wanshan Lake because he admired the deeds of his ancestors.

As the new year approaches, members of the Du clan also return to their ancestral home one after another.Although Du Huaibao passed away, the nine sons of his family were all strong and strong, and they had sons and sons. They could be described as a powerful family with a thriving population.

On this day, a distinguished guest was welcomed in Du's Manor, that is, the state lord Yueyang King Xiao Xie.

King Yueyang's trip was accompanied by dozens of relatives, but there were several carts full of goods.Du's family came out to welcome them, watching the battle inevitably a little suspicious.King Yueyang smiled and ordered the government officials to unload the goods on the car, only then did he realize that it was a gift for the Du clan, both men and women, and no one would pull it.

Although the gift was not considered precious, it was nothing more than a few volumes of scriptures and a few bolts of silk, but it was presented by the state lord, King Yueyang, in person, which undoubtedly reflected the importance he attached to the Du family.

Therefore, people from the Du clan also came forward to receive gifts and thanks, and they also expressed their admiration and gratitude to this respectful and corporal king.King Yueyang stayed in Du's house until nightfall before getting up to say goodbye. Even though Du Andang wanted to lead his family members Jiazhang to escort King Yueyang back to the city, King Yueyang refused with a smile, and he didn't want to disturb their family's happy time.

After the family sent Yueyang Wangli out of the house and returned home, Du Youan, the youngest son of the Du family, couldn't help but said: "This great king is so courteous to my family today, and he has lost his usual strong posture. On the contrary, it makes me uneasy."

Among the brothers, Du An was the best at making changes. It was he who personally visited Jiangling and asked the King of Eastern Hunan to solve the embarrassing situation Du faced before. After hearing the words, he laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? Yue Yang Although the king is young and strong, can he gather more people's hearts than the king of Xiangdong?

When I came to pay homage to the king of Eastern Hunan, the king once told me that many people in the court said that Yongzhou was the ancestral property of Xingye and enjoying the country, and they wanted to move the young king to another place.King Yueyang thought he got the news from other places, so he was eager to marry my family and ask for help.Although Jiangling is strong, there are many people who invite him to favor him. If King Yueyang can understand the way of humility, my family doesn't have to go against him too much. "

Not to mention the arguments of the Du family brothers, not long after King Yueyang left Du's house, there was a general on the left side of the road who had already put on armor and was waiting for orders for a long time.He stopped the car, looked back in the direction of Wanshantan, and said in a cold voice: "Although there are still a few people who have not returned, we are afraid that something will change, so we will do it tonight. It can be regarded as an afterthought. If you don’t pass on goodness to your family, you will inevitably bring disaster to your family!"
