Northern Dynasties

The Taiwan government has no plans to patrol this year, and the newly developed areas such as Handong also need strong ministers to guard them.So after drinking the wedding wine of his second brother Li Chao, Li Tai was ready to return to Jingzhou to take charge.

However, before leaving, he still needs to have in-depth and detailed communication with the Taiwan government on the personnel issues of the Jingzhou General Manager's Office to ensure that a certain amount of trust and tacit understanding can be maintained between them.

Yu Wentai also waited for Li Tai in the Taifu early in the morning, and postponed all other matters for the time being, specifically discussing Jingzhou personnel affairs with Li Tai. Several senior officers in the Taifu also participated, which shows that the Taifu attaches great importance to the situation in the southeast. .

After Li Tai came to Taifu, he did not exchange many greetings with each other. Yu Wentai took out a letter in which Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling in the Southern Liang Dynasty, surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty, and then said with a smile: "The clan of Liang Guo came to vote. It’s always a joy, but Boshan has the deepest understanding of the situation in the southeast. According to your opinion, is it necessary for the court to accept his surrender?”

Li Tai took the letter of surrender with both hands and then read it carefully.He knew about this, because the surrender letter was submitted through the Jingzhou General Manager's Office. Apart from the Jingzhou General Manager's Office, the Taiwan government had no other way to contact Nanliang personnel in the southeast.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Tai did not open the letter privately and read it in advance, so today was the first time he saw the contents of the letter.

Prince Xiao Lun of Shaoling was the sixth son of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, and he was also a bastard.In the early days of Hou Jing's rebellion, he was originally the chief general appointed by Emperor Wu of Liang to fight the rebellion, commanding various counter-rebellion troops including Liu Zhongli's department.However, because he refused to patrol and missed the opportunity to fight, Hou Jing directly led his troops across the river and besieged Taicheng, and then a series of incredible farces occurred.

The reason why Hou Jing was able to grow big in Jiangnan was closely related to the incompetence and indulgence of Shaoling King Xiao Lun.

After Hou Jing broke through Taicheng and entered the Second Palace, all Qin Wang's troops retreated, and Xiao Lun, a living treasure, also fled to Kuaiji Yuxue in no time.However, as Hou Jing's offensive in the Sanwu area intensified, Kuaiji became no longer safe, so Xiao Lun continued to flee and entered Yingzhou in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River where Hou Jing's offensive had not yet reached.

Xiao Lun's surrender letter was sent from Yingzhou. In the letter, he first denounced the king of Xiangdong for ignoring the dangers of Jiankang, instead acting as a dominator in Jiangling, and harming the descendants of the Nanliang clan. He also expressed a negative attitude towards Liang Wang Xiao Jin's behavior of accepting the title of the Western Wei Dynasty without authorization and inviting the Wei army to attack his uncle.

In short, in the first half of this letter, every line of the letter reveals the disparagement of Xiao Yi and Xiao Qi, the uncle and nephew, and repeatedly stated that they were not qualified to interact with the Western Wei Dynasty alone.

Next, Xiao Lun changed the topic again, saying that except for the puppet emperor Xiao Gang who was supported by Hou Jing in Jiankang City, he was already the eldest member of the Nanliang clan, so even if he wanted to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty , it has to be done by his big brother!
At present, the Western Wei Dynasty still has to win over Xiao Qing, the king of Liang, and hold peace talks with Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan, which is too troublesome. In fact, as long as Xiao Lun accepts Xiao Lun's surrender, Xiao Lun will be responsible for handling these two guys.

The conditions proposed by Xiao Lun were also very simple. He just wanted to temporarily borrow the Handong land previously occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty as a base camp to counterattack Jiankang and put down Hou Jing's rebellion. He also hoped that Li Tai, the general manager of Jingzhou, could personally lead his troops to assist. His people carried out counter-rebellion.

In this way, after Hou Jing's rebellion is put down, all the land north of Jiangling can be ceded to the Western Wei Dynasty, including Shouyang, Hefei and other places that Li Tai once occupied but gave up.

After Li Tai read the letter of surrender, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said unceremoniously: "The Liang family has many villains, and King Shaoling is the leader among them. He failed because of his lack of success. He has plenty of things to do, and seeing that he has no power but still talks a lot, it shows that he is definitely not focused on pragmatism."

After hearing the words, Sun Jian, the eldest son next to him, also nodded and said: "Reading books and knowing people, this Prince Shaoling is indeed absurd. Even if he works with him, he may not be able to achieve anything. However, whether the Liang family succeeds or not is not within the plans of the Tai government. , if this member can be brought in to fight against Jiang Han with his clan, it will be beneficial and harmless to the further plot to control Jiang Han."

Hearing Changsun Jian say this, other members of the Taifu government also expressed their agreement one after another, and even Daxingtai showed approval.

There had been a discussion about this in the Taifu government before. Although King Shaoling seemed a bit out of tune, if the starting point was to further disrupt the situation between Jiang and Han, then it would not be a bad idea to accept his surrender. .

As a result, the three Xiaoliang clans in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River were all under the control of the Western Wei Bafu to varying degrees, and the operating space was undoubtedly greatly increased.When they fight with each other until both lose and lose the support of the people, the Bafu will step in to clean up the mess, and they can take over the land of Jianghan in one fell swoop.

"It is indeed necessary for the Taiwan government to accept Xiao Lun's surrender. But if it is to provide various assistance, it is not necessary. Especially lending Han Dong a temporary residence is completely unnecessary. It is best to give him strict orders. You are not allowed to cross the border, and if you violate it, you will be treated as an enemy and severely attacked!"

Seeing that the development in the southeast was going smoothly, the people in Taiwan's government began to have some wild ideas, and Li Tai could understand this.But if you don't cherish it because it is too simple, or even invest the previous results as a cost without clear plans and ideas, this is something Li Tai will never agree to.

Historically, Xiao Lun also fled to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but due to difficulties in gaining a foothold, he surrendered to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi. He accepted the canonization of the Northern Qi and became the king of Liang. He also colluded with the Northern Qi in an attempt to get involved in Handong, which had been occupied by the Western Wei. As a result, he was suppressed by all parties. Tossing and tossing all over did not achieve anything, and was finally defeated and killed by Yang Zhong, ending his ridiculous life.

In the current time and space, probably because of Li Tai's previous defeat of Murong Shaozong in Huainan, Xiao Lun felt that the Western Wei Dynasty could invest more power in the Jianghan area than the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In addition, the top leadership of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was turbulent, so Choose to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty.It's just that he seems to feel too good about himself. Not only does he want to borrow a place to stay, he even wants Li Tai to help him and cooperate. It's really inexplicable!
Although Xiao Lun's personal ability is so-so and almost non-existent, his ability to bring disaster to the country and the people should not be underestimated.Li Tai had no way of imagining how much of a diversionary effect it would have on Jiangling or other parties if Handong was temporarily lent to him, and what a terrible harm it would do to the people's livelihood in Handong, not to mention.

Now it is not difficult for him to manage the Handong region, so he naturally does not need to make any so-called strategic abandonment.And if Xiao Lun really had any substantive plans for the Handong area, he would never take into account what kind of plans the Taiwan government entrusted to him, and he would directly fight back and kill him without any discussion!
The people in the Taiwanese government have discussed this matter many times, including Chang Sunjian, the former Jingzhou governor, who joined in to make a careful evaluation. However, with Li Tai's stance on the matter, various ideas and discussions among them The discussion became nonsense.Therefore, after Li Tai finished expressing his opinions, the people present at the Taifu Palace looked a little uncomfortable. Some people wanted to argue with their arguments, but seeing that Daxingtai was no longer willing to discuss this further, they could only Closed his mouth.

"Since Boshan feels that Prince Shaoling is difficult to rely on, then this disciple is really lacking in skills and tactics. There is no point in placing more hopes."

After Yu Wentai heard this, he no longer had any further entanglements or discussions, but continued to ask: "So what I saw in Yibo Mountain, to make further progress on the premise of fully consolidating what we have now, we must obtain When will I have the desire to get involved in Jiangling?"

It is the instinct of every powerful person in troubled times to obtain Longwangshu. Although Yuwentai was overjoyed with a series of results last year, he could not even imagine such an amazing breakthrough before.

But now it seems that he has quickly accepted this fact, and has developed greater ambitions from this, and has set his sights on Jiangling.

The reason why he accepted and supported Xiao Lun to disrupt the situation between Jiang and Han before was because he listened to Chang Sun Jian and others explain that Jiangling is still very powerful, and there are many elite soldiers and generals under the command of the King of Eastern Hunan. It is extremely difficult to conquer by force alone, and it still needs to be conquered through force. weakened by other means.

It doesn't matter if Li Tai vetoes this idea, but the key is to find other ideas and methods to achieve the same effect. If not, then you still have to go back and re-examine the previously rejected plan.

"The current situation is not limited to one place. All parties must be gathered together and judged comprehensively. When Jiangling can be conquered, it depends not only on us, but also on the enemy. Today, Hou Jing is entrenched on the outside of the river and attacks from all sides, and Jiangling is like a It is already the largest town in the upper reaches, but it is the only one that still has the power to compete. If I attack it urgently, the victory or defeat is not yet determined, but in fact it will relieve Hou Jing's difficulties."

Li Tai naturally had his own understanding of the situation in Nanliang, and now he also said seriously: "The reason why we are not in a hurry to attack Jiangling now is not because of its strength, but to use this nest in eastern Hunan to gather the southern countries." Characters and talents. Hou Jingjie is cruel and cruel, and it will be difficult to recruit Nanliang personnel to his sect for a long time. Although Xiangdong is not talented, he is the master of the big town in the upper reaches. The poor and deceased will inevitably rush to Jiangling to seek refuge.

In the coming year, Jiangling will be the capital of Zhongxing if the rebellion is suppressed. However, the Southern Dynasty established the country and established Kang for a long time.However, the master of the lower ranks is hard to win the crowd. At that time, it will be suspected that the head and the tail will be lost, and the east and west will be difficult to combine. If you attack Jiangling with a large army, you will not only gain this kind of victory, but also the essence of Nanliang's personnel! "

Yu Wentai was originally very eager to plot Jiangling, but when he heard the prospects and possibilities described by Li Tai, his eyes could not help but shine and he was deeply excited. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Boshan is serious The plan is profound and far beyond the reach of ordinary people! If it turns out to be as expected, then the Southern Kingdom’s hundred years of accumulation of personnel can be achieved in one battle, which will be enough to determine the world!”

The other government officials were also quite shocked when they heard Li Tai's description. They really did not imagine that things would have such a direction and possibility.But it has to be said that once this situation becomes a reality, the benefits brought by the war will indeed be more substantial.

"But how can Duke Taiyuan ensure that things develop as expected? What's more, if Jiangling can really put down this chaos, the King of Xiangdong will be popular and powerful. If he plots again at that time, it will be even more difficult!"

It was Chang Sunjian who voiced his doubts again. He actually had a rather ambivalent mentality towards Li Tai and the situation in the southeast as a whole. On the one hand, he was happy about the achievements in the southeast and admired Li Tai's meritorious deeds. On the one hand, he looks like a jealous ex-husband.

When Jingzhou was under his rule, he seemed like an old and unattractive yellow-faced woman, but when Li Tai came to take charge, he suddenly became radiant again. To the extreme.So every time Changsun Jian heard news from Jingzhou, he felt helpless and regretful.

Li Tai did not make boring arguments with Changsun Jian. After hearing the questioning, he smiled and said: "Everything will never go as expected. When things come to pass, you can always be prepared and do your best, so as not to miss the opportunity. It can be said that he has no regrets in his heart. Whether it will finally come true depends on God's will. As for the King of Xiangdong's success in the future due to the chaos, this is also expected. The more difficult it is, the more he will gain. Even though I can't speak boldly. If we win, there will be no shortage of talented and capable men in the country. The whole country will fight and we will defeat it!"

Changsun Jian's question was meant to make things difficult. After hearing Li Tai's answer, he was too embarrassed to argue anymore and nodded thoughtfully to express his approval of Li Tai's answer.

After Yu Wentai heard this, he spoke again: "In this way, the Southeast side does not need to invest more personnel in seeking new achievements for the time being. It can stabilize the present and wait for the opportunity. This is a prudent plan. The East Bandits had a new disaster last year, but we don’t know what changes will happen this year. The country also needs to retain enough personnel to cope with the changes. If any changes do happen, it may be necessary to mobilize forces from Jingzhou to help. It's something. Tell it beforehand, Bo Shan will remember it."

When he said this, Yu Wentai smiled again. At the moment, he felt as if the table was full of delicacies and he didn't know where to start.

The development of the situation in the past two years made him feel that his fate was in my hands. Gao Huan broke his halberd and jade and died, and the heavens took away his greatest opponent in life for him.Then Hou Jing's rebellion triggered a series of changes. Although Yuwentai's attempt to get involved in Heluo and Henan failed, he did not expect that the southeast would usher in great development.

Just when he was regretting that Hou Jing's Rebellion failed to bring as much harm to the Eastern Wei Dynasty as it did to the Southern Liang Dynasty, Gao Cheng, the outstanding heir of the Gao family, was stabbed to death again.If not for God's will to help him succeed, why are there so many disasters everywhere, but only their Western Dynasty has beautiful scenery?
