Northern Dynasties

Chapter 569
"Mr. Xihe is actually able to use it in the enemy's territory to make up for his own shortcomings. He is really a good shepherd of the country and a capable minister of border guards!"

When he saw that Li Tainan had brought back a fleet full of food, Wang Yuanxun, who was waiting in Jingzhou City, couldn't help being stunned, and then he couldn't help but marvel again and again.

Although he is not very old, he is not an ordinary pampered and ignorant patriarch. He has followed his father in the army for many years, and he has some understanding of military and political affairs, but Li Tai's operation still stunned him.

It should be noted that his father has theoretically occupied the land of the various states in Henan, but there are still many obstacles in personnel transfer.Xiangyang to the south of Jingzhou is an important town in Nanliang. Li Tai was able to harvest tens of thousands of shi of grain in its territory unimpeded. This is really unreasonable and beyond Wang Yuanxun's inherent cognition.

Today's Li Tai no longer needs to boast and show off in front of his peers to gain a sense of superiority, and he is too lazy to explain the reason to Wang Yuanxun. The officials arranged escorts to the upper reaches of the water and to the south of Sanyadao, but further forwards would require the transportation of Taiyuan public officials.”

After Wang Yuanxun heard the words, he nodded again and again and said: "Grand Xihe has been able to help you so far, I am very grateful! This matter is urgent, and there is no time for this long disturbance. After the captives retreat, I will definitely return to this place. Thank you very much, Mr. Xihe Help!"

The most important problem of food and grass has been solved. Wang Yuanxun no longer has the sorrow when he first arrived in Jingzhou. He has a determined and confident smile on his face. The entourage followed the fleet and headed north along the Yu River.

Looking at the back of this group of people leaving, Li Tai couldn't help feeling a little complicated, and he just sighed in dismay when the words came to his lips, and immediately packed up his mood, and returned to the state capital to continue to deal with important military and government affairs.The first thing to do, of course, is to choose the generals who will go to Caiyang to build the city.

After returning to the state capital, Li Tai summoned all the generals to the Fuzhong Zhitang, and then informed everyone of the matter.

After hearing this, all the generals were overjoyed. Although they didn't know the collusion and interaction between Li Tai and Nanliang Xiaoyu, they also knew that there must be a very deep collusion between them.

For example, the withdrawal of troops from Fancheng and the attack on the two counties all indicated that Li Tai had already penetrated deeply into Xiangyang in the Southern Liang. proof of that.

"May I ask, Lord Lang, is the garrison Cai Yang to attack Xiangyang in the future? If so, please be the forward! There are many brave and boastful people here, but if you talk about land attack and water battle, pulling out camps and trapping the city, this is the man in the hall." I am afraid no one below the Lord will dare to boast that he can defeat me!"

He Ruodun was the first to open his mouth to fight for this opportunity. This big mouth has a familiar taste when he opens his mouth. If he has something to say, he can't say it well. The South City of Heyang picked up together with Gao Wu is not a great deed. But after defending the river bridge, preventing the enemy from coming south, and after the Lord arrived, he entered Heyang Central City and gave me the heavy weapon. I guess it was also Lang The Lord feels that apart from me, I am afraid that no one can..."

He didn't talk much, but his mouth kept babbling, ignoring the glaring generals, and dragged Li Tai into the water by the way to show that he was the best candidate and the lord's appointed sweetheart.

Li Tai rolled his eyes while sitting in the banquet listening, seeing He Ruotun's words so determined, he even thought about it carefully, and was sure that he never had such thoughts at the time, but this guy likes to play with big guys, and he came together to be the commander of the artillery regiment , where it must be him!

All the generals in the hall reacted differently after hearing He Ruodun's words. Some people looked at him coldly, some curled their lips and sneered, and Gao Le, who was named and judged as nothing, couldn't help but raised his hand and held his saber handle.

Seeing that the atmosphere killer was present, the meeting might not be able to continue calmly, so Li Tai said, "I called you into the hall today. I have something to teach you. The army of eastern thieves is about to enter Yingchuan. I have already made an agreement with Taiyuan Convention." You want to attract people from the other country to avoid disaster. Knowing that your family used to come from Yingzhou Juyi, there must be some old righteousness to be continued in that place, so let you go north to attract people from Henan to the south. It is not too late. Immediately lead the Ministry to set off!"

While speaking, he took up a pen and wrote a military order, which stipulated the military route for Ho Ruodun and went to Jingzhou to lead the refugees back.In the early years of Datong, his father and son originally led his troops from Henan to go to Kansai, and Li Tai sent them to go to Kansai, but it was not simply to send people away.

After He Ruodun heard this, he lowered his head and obviously didn't want to agree. After all, it was only because of attracting refugees to enter the country, how could he follow up compared with Cai Yang.But when he noticed that the Lord's expression had turned serious, he hastily put away the little emotions in his heart, and stood up to take orders.

Just when he was about to withdraw from the straight hall, he still couldn't hold it back, and said to the generals with some reluctance: "I am dispatched for other things today, and I will not compete with you for this position. No matter who you accept, you must do things with your heart , don’t let the lord send you down, remember that there are still capable people in the mansion just waiting to be replaced!”

After saying this, he walked out towards Li Tai, turning a blind eye to the other people's glaring.

Although He Ruodun left, the negative energy left behind could not be completely dissipated for a long time. Li Tai couldn't help but feel amused when he saw that everyone was still angry.Not to mention anything else, if someone told him that Ho Ruo Dun was in collusion with cronies, he would really not believe it.

Putting aside the gimmick in his heart, he carefully explained to everyone the purpose of setting up the city in Nanyongzhou this time and the role it will play in the future.

In order to let the generals figure out what the status relationship with Xiangyang is at present, so as not to make wrong judgments, Li Tai will also describe the past contacts and agreements with Yueyang King Xiao Xie, of course some more core content For example, the specific details of Hanzhong business and trade are still hidden, and there is no need to inform the public.

In short, Cai Yang built the city to create a window to infiltrate Xiangyang and even the entire Nanliang society, not a pure military fortress.

"The defeat of the Liang State this time was definitely not just a temporary defeat. The arrogance of the towns has gradually revealed. Hou Jingshi lost all his troops and took possession of Shouyang. Poison! Since we are on the edge of the town, we must not be short-sighted, and we must be prepared for the rebellion in the country and the loss of order!"

Hearing what Li Tai said, the generals' eyes suddenly showed greater enthusiasm.Every era of war and chaos is a good opportunity for warriors to stand out. For those Northern Wei survivors who have just experienced the Mutiny of the Six Towns, they are naturally no strangers to this.

"The emperor has a profound plan, and the general will go out of the town at the end. Nanyongzhou was originally set up for expediency. If we can take this opportunity to achieve real governance, it will not be in vain. The title conferred by the imperial court."

Dou Chi stood up from the table, and said to Li Tai.

He came to Jingzhou with Li Tai this time, and he was already a governor of Southern Yongzhou, but he stayed in Jingzhou city.For example, Hou Zhi, who served as the governor of East Jingzhou, had already led his troops out of the town of Biyang, and formed a mutual echo with Rangcheng, which can be regarded as sitting on one side.

Dou Chi has a lot of experience, but because he is not a confidant of Xingtai, he has always been a bit out of control. This time he is more willing to be the deputy of Li Tai, a rising star, when he comes out of Jingzhou, but it does not mean that he has completely lost his desire for success.

Especially after seeing Li Tai's various military and political actions after entering the state, it was dazzling, and Dou Chi was so addicted to seeing it, he felt itchy and unbearable, eager to display his ambitions.

Although going to Caiyang this time is only to set up a city and garrison a partial division, it is reasonable to say that there is no need to dispatch a general of Dou Chi's level, but he also agrees with Li Tai's judgment on this, so he hopes to win a chance to lead his own army , not only can monitor Xiangyang nearby, but also can use this to wait for the opportunity, and then look into the entire Handong area.

Li Tai also didn't expect that Dou Chi's heart would be aroused by beating too much chicken blood.

However, after thinking for a while, he still said: "Although I am the head of the state, I am half dependent on the governor of the state. It is the work of minions, so why bother to touch my body! Moreover, the people's livelihood in this state is gradually stable, and it is necessary to form states and counties. The township regiments, each armed to wait for the time to change, I don’t know who will pay for this matter except the governor.”

When Dou Chi heard what Li Tai said, he didn't insist any more, nodded his head and then sat down again, but gave his nephew Dou Yi a look.

Dou Yixin understood, but before he got up to take orders, Shi Linghu Yanbao, the head of Hussars, took the lead and said: "The ambassador said that after the establishment of this city, there will be many things involved. He is capable in handling affairs. Since the governor of Liang Dudu, he has been allowed to do whatever he has used. If he is appointed now, he will be able to do it."

Hearing what Linghu Yanbao said, several generals in the hall echoed, and Liang Shiyan also quickly stood up and asked for orders to express his opinion.

Li Tai originally preferred the combination of Zhu Meng and Li Quji, after all, he was more confidant, but after hearing the voices of the generals, he weighed it a bit, and felt that Liang Shiyan was indeed stronger than Zhu Meng in terms of dealing with complicated situations. Appropriate.Before he led the army to move between Heluo and Liang Shiyan, every time Liang Shiyan led other troops to support or serve as the rear, they all performed very well.

So he nodded and agreed, and ordered Liang Shiyan to lead two thousand cavalry to Caiyang to set up a garrison and serve as the new city defender, and then appointed Li Quji as the chief historian, so that the two of them would cooperate in military and political affairs.

As for the other generals, Li Tai also plans to appoint them in batches to serve as the commanders of the counties and counties in Jingzhou, and prepares to build county, county and township regiments as the second echelon military force in Jingzhou.After all, Jianghan was in chaos, and the troops he brought from Kansai alone were not enough.
