On this day, Li Po entertained Wang Cong, the leader of the Wang clan, very well.
In fact, as long as Li Po is willing, with his current status, who can't entertain anyone? Moreover, he is an expert who is accustomed to reading people's hearts...
On this day, it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
When the visit came, Wang Cong seemed to remember that there was one more thing he had not said.
After hesitating for a moment, he still called his granddaughter to the hall.
Li Po was not surprised by the meaning of the question. He couldn't even talk about his likes and dislikes. For a large Han family like the Wang family, which is obsessed with face, there must be magnanimous gentlemen, and there are also etiquette as constraints. Most of the people don't know how to do it.
Evil shape.
But for the sake of the ethnic group, Li Po believed they could do anything shameless.
It was different from what Li Po had imagined. She was a girl with a round face. She had a fleshy look all over her body. Her brows and eyes were quite lively, and her lips were very thin. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so talkative.
Wearing a man's long robe, he walked in and entered the room. Although he was a little awkward, he didn't look too restrained.
In fact, this was Li Po's first face-to-face contact with a harem girl from a big family.
The girl paid homage to Li Po in a thin voice and apologized to Li Po. Looking at her red eyes, it was obvious that the girl who was the apple of Wang's eye had been greatly wronged.
The girl's aesthetics are far different from Li Po's. He does prefer women with strong bodies and strong temperaments. He himself stubbornly believes that such women can live longer in this chaotic world.
He looked at the cute girl with a fleshy body and suppressed a smile in his heart, but what he was thinking about was that the little maid was not in good condition. She didn't break her leg or arm or anything, right?
Of course, when Mr. Wang intentionally shows kindness, he will not respond to such kindness with a frivolous attitude. That's not how things work.
He turned to look at Wang Cong, who had been looking at his face nonchalantly since the girl came in, and said with a smile: "The Wang family has a daughter who is good at eloquence and is famous in the Jin Dynasty. Today
As soon as I saw it, it certainly lived up to its reputation.”
Without waiting for Wang Cong to be humble, he continued: "I am short of a room in my house. I wonder if you are willing to part with me?"
The so-called record office, based on Li Po's official position, was actually similar to the later secretary. There was a daily note beside the emperor to record the emperor's words and deeds. The vassal princes of various families also had such people around them, but they were not so strict.
Generally speaking, there will be many clerks in the prince's palace, each performing their own duties. In fact, the purpose is to make the prince's life more comfortable and help him deal with some tedious things.
Some even participate in secret affairs and are one of the important shogunate figures in the feudal prince's palace.
Although Li Po was not a vassal king, his weight was almost the same. In terms of power alone, the Tu emperor, who was a separate ruler, was even more important than the vassal king.
The recording room next to him is naturally no small matter.
Liu Jing, who had been a horse thief, actually did this job, but now he was sent to the grassland.
As a well-dressed and well-dressed member of the Wang family, the meaning of letting her daughter appear in public to apologize to others is already very clear.
Li Po accepted this kind offer, but he did not want to marry a bunch of women in such a mess. You must know that there is a princess guarding the gate of his Yanmen Mansion.
Therefore, he rewarded him with the position of recording office.
The meaning is also very clear. I, Li Pofei, am a lecherous person and I want to save some face for you, the Wang family. If you are not satisfied... Humph, will you be dissatisfied?
Sure enough, Wang Cong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately asked his granddaughter to thank him and accepted the position.
At this point, the mutual testing between the new masters of the two states and the big lords of Jin Dynasty has been completed.
It can be said that this is a relatively successful political alliance.
With no escape route, the Jinyang Wang family showed their willingness to surrender.
Li Po, who indeed lacked a large number of talents under his command, also expressed his acceptance.
Mrs. Wang was satisfied. Compared with Li Yuan, although this person's thoughts were equally unpredictable and his posture was more fierce, he was much more generous and sincere than the Li family's father and son.
Of course, they also understood that Li Yuan and his son were not on the same level as this one. After all, Li Yuan came from a high-ranking family and had many available people, while this one, who came from a frontier fortress, must have few available people around him.
Comparing the two cars, in fact, it is still a saying, the future is just here, who can predict what will happen in the future these days?
As for whether a woman could be the reporter, it was all a matter of detail, and Wang, who valued etiquette, could only turn a blind eye to this choice.
As a result, there was a young Wang Jishi in Li Po's house, who spoke softly and talked softly.
Li Po, who was almost successful, also found himself a more pleasing secretary. Compared to Liu Jing, who was full of gangsterism, he was indeed much better.
As soon as the Wang family was at peace, people in Jinyang immediately became as stable as a mountain. This is not a lie.
Many of his descendants followed Li Yuan south to Chang'an and became Li Tang's vassals. Now there are also some Jinyang families who are looking around, and all of them suddenly became quiet.
The rumors among Jinyang's neighbors quickly disappeared and were replaced by vicious curses against the Li family and his son.
This is actually a manifestation of public sentiment.
The fickleness of people's hearts and minds can be clearly seen at this time. In fact, most of the time, this kind of people's hearts and minds can be controlled and guided.
People in Jinyang were convinced, but in fact, Li Tang's hope of returning to Bingzhou became slim.
A big city in the north like Jinyang is very different from Chang'an and Luoyang. As long as there is no chaos inside and there is enough food and grass, the chance of being attacked by force is very low.
Jinyang briefly decided that many officials in Jinyang should take advantage of the situation and go south to attack the counties in Hedong. Li Po finally left all the chores to Chen Xiaoyi and others and began to concentrate on preparing for the northward journey.
Under his military order, all the cavalry from the three counties of Daizhou were gathering towards Mayi.
Food, grass and weapons were piled up like mountains in the city of Mayi.
At the end of June in the fourteenth year of Daye, Li Po led his army from Jinyang to the north.
In early July, he arrived at Yanmen and ordered the Youzhou Army to form an army as soon as possible and rushed to Jinyang. He appointed Yu Wenxin as the prefect of Yanmen and ordered Li Bi to take charge of Yanmen's military power.
At this time, more than 20,000 prisoners of the Tang army had been eliminated according to Li Po's military order, and the weak were eliminated while the strong were eliminated, and the number was reduced to 15,000. They stayed in Yanmen for training all day. In the future, these troops may become the city defense troops stationed at key points.
Li Po stayed at Yanmen for two days and led his troops north to Mayi.
At this time, the county town of Mayi has become a large military camp. All around the county town, there are endless barracks. Flags of various colors are flying above the barracks, and people are shouting and neighing all night long.
At this time, the Daizhou cavalry army gathered in Mayi. After many expansions, the cavalry army had reached 25,000.
This is already a very rare cavalry group in the Central Plains Dynasty.
As soon as Li Po arrived, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.
The main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion suddenly became the main tent of the army. The generals stood around, their swords clanging against their armors, and the solemn and majestic atmosphere was quickly replaced by a cold and murderous atmosphere.
Li Po was sitting in the main hall. Although he was a little tired, this familiar atmosphere made him very comfortable. His mind, which had been messed up in Jinyang and Yanmen, seemed to suddenly become clear.
Look at it individually.
Yu Chigong, Bu Qun, Luo Shixin, Chen San, Chen Yuan, Liu Jingsheng, Wang Zhibian, Duan Fang, the second brother Shi Dashi, Huang You, etc. Li Po couldn't help but smile and said: "Starting from the three counties of Daizhou, we can
It’s the first time we have gathered together so neatly, so I’m very happy and congratulated.”
The old men in the Heng'an Town Army all laughed. These people had followed Li Po all the way, and they had been killing and killing each other for several years. Now, with the expansion of their territory and the expansion of their army, each of them has become prominent.
The most rare thing is that, except for one Wang Dalang who died in the battle in Youzhou, everyone is still beard. It can be said that the generals who came back from Liaodong and the Mayi garrison who later joined the Heng'an Town Army are still here today.
Still alive.
For the Heng'an Town Army, which had fought numerous small and large battles, this was really not a big miracle.
Bu Qun, who has been the Loufan County Lieutenant for more than a year and has a more majestic air about him, is still so talkative at this time, and immediately took the lead in flattering him: "The general and others have not yet congratulated you for making a further step forward.
If we, the people, had not followed the general, we might have thrown the bones somewhere..."
Before, Li Po couldn't hear Bu Qun talking like this, but now, he felt a little friendly.
He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a year. I heard that you are doing well in the building. But when you meet me, you talk so much and you are not afraid of being laughed at by your colleagues?"
Bu Qun's face was glowing red, and a flower seemed to have grown on his face. He probably also felt that it was a bit boring when no one in the building was worthy of his flattery, right?
"With the general here, the general will feel at ease. All he has to do is go forward and kill the enemy. Naturally, he will talk more. Moreover, this time the general led us to fight against the Turks. Think about those who are kings.
A hero who claims to be an emperor knows how to point swords and guns at his own people, but who else can lead us to resist foreign enemies like the general?"
Having said this, he even looked angrily at the Turkic descendants, and what greeted him were several vicious looks.
Now these descendants are different. They followed Li Po in a fight in Youzhou, and the corpses of Xi people killed at Feihukou were everywhere. They met with the Tang army in Yanmen and followed Li Po to Jinyang.
With the increasing military success, the confidence came, and the resistance against the old men of Heng'an Town Army like Bu Qun gradually became fierce.
Bu Qun curled his lips indifferently and said to himself, I became his mother's Lieutenant of Loufan County and lost some opportunities to make meritorious deeds. This made these bastards look down on me and dared to glare at me.
When this battle is over, I will deal with you one by one.
Yuchi Gong rolled his eyelids, thinking that Bu Qun was still so unimproved.
Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng looked around, not taking this seriously at all.
Chen San, Huang You and others looked on with cold eyes. Wang Zhibian and others felt quite uncomfortable after being told.
The factional disputes in Li Po's army have now begun to emerge.
