There were hundreds of light cavalry when they came, but they turned out to be a mighty troop when they returned. This was not the first time.
Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This place in northern Shaanxi was really his blessed land. Every time he came here, he gained a lot.
Under the harmonious witness of Shu Hui and Yu Wengui, Li Tai shook hands with Chang Shan and made peace, smiling away their grudges.
Daxingtai sent an order before to allocate a thousand war horses to the Dushui Administration. Chang Shan needs to pay them one after another before the year. Part of the loot captured in Bai Yushan will be distributed to Xi'an Prefecture to compensate for Li Tai's previous attack on Xiang Haolei.
The supply impact brought by Xi'an Prefecture.
As for the men and horses that Li Tai had previously stored in Guide City, he naturally wanted to return them to Zhao intact without any trouble.
With this solution, it seems that Li Tai did not take advantage of it, but it was not the case. The key still lies in the thousand war horses, which were originally prepared by the Dushui Administration Department for use as a parade, but due to some reasons, they could not be paid in time.
In place.
Although Li Tai captured more than a thousand horses from the Jihu tribe in Dongxia Prefecture, a considerable number of them could not be used as war horses. If he could lure these horses back to pay taxes, at least the accounts of the Dushui Administration Bureau would be wiped out.
of this responsibility.
In other words, Li Tai has full autonomy in disposing of the thousand war horses that Xi'an Prefecture will subsequently pay. He can use them as official horses or leave them to his own troops. Those are a thousand horses that are well-tamed and can be put into battle.
war horse!
Li Tai couldn't help but sigh, these Fang Town military leaders still knew how to play and dared to play. He occupied some land by himself and filled his own pockets, which felt very exciting, as if he had taken advantage of it, but these military leaders started to attack.
It's really dark when you come here, thousands of war horses are directly given to each other privately!
Of course, whether he can afford it depends on whether he has enough face in front of Daxing. Moreover, after agreeing to this reconciliation condition, at least in the battle with Bai Yushan, Chang Shan cannot openly expose Chang Shan's shortcomings and delay Chang Shan.
His participation in the war has not been made public for a long time.
Li Tai didn't care about this at all. If he couldn't kill the other party, he actually didn't want to make grudges everywhere. From the bottom of his heart, he still wanted you to be well and me to be well to everyone.
If he offended Zhao Gui before, there was really no way or choice. If Zhao Gui was willing to kowtow to him and admit his mistake, he would also forgive him.
Although Chang Shan's previous behavior made him quite angry, it did not cause any substantial harm, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere.
There is no deep friendship between him and the Beizhen military leaders. Their background is relatively simple. If they can find common interests and appeals, some cooperation can actually be carried out. And Li Tai had a plan brewing in his mind before.
, and it is precisely the salt industry in Xi'an Prefecture that needs to serve as a hub.
Dignity always needs to be endorsed by strength. If a person is truly strong, he does not need to flaunt himself with angry eyes all the time.
Li Tai is not that strong now, but he has proven with practical actions that he is not easy to mess with. This time, it is Ji Hu who is being lured. Who the hell dares to mess with me again? Do you believe that I lured the Eastern Wei army over?
As a victorious army, there must always be a certain aura of victorious return.
So when he arrived at Shicheng County at the corner of Luoshui, Li Tai asked the messenger Lu Bu to go ahead and spread the news of the great victory along the way. He also informed Yu Wentai, who had already arrived at Baishui for the grand parade, to clean up the place and move aside, otherwise I will
I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of them and I'll bring back these captives.
The victory messengers were dispatched three times a day, and the commotion they created was indeed considerable. Those who didn't know might have thought that Li Tai was not attacking Jihu in northern Shaanxi this time, but was attacking Jinyang City to capture He Liuhun alive.
But Li Tai doesn't think it's a fuss, he is such a person with low taste. In other words, Shuo Hui and Yu Wengui are busy with their own affairs, and there are never many guards sent by the envoy, and he has too few troops, otherwise a long
The snake array beat gongs and drums to move away the white water.
Daxingtai said that he lost Mangshan and gained this Boshan. He had to prove that Daxingtai's vision was right: Since I, Li Boshan, have entered Guanxi, good days have come for you Guanxi people! From now on, Mangshan will
There will never be another big defeat like the Great War, and there will be good news every day!
He was heading south with great satisfaction, and there was good news waiting for him halfway.
"It is really gratifying to return home after a great victory! I heard the good news and came in a hurry to welcome him. Fortunately I didn't miss it!"
When they arrived at the northern border of Luochuan, Mao Shijian led dozens of his entourage to greet him in a hurry. However, they did not catch up from the south bank of Luoshui River, but chased him diagonally from behind. When he saw Li Tai dismounting from his horse, he bowed his head and bowed.
Li Tai raised his hand to signal the young man to excuse himself, and then said with a smile: "The parade is about to begin and everything is busy. You can just wait at the office to help, why bother running around to greet us."
If you want to welcome me, you have to send someone from Daxingtai. Yitong, my subordinates are so happy and forgetful, but it seems that their subordinates have never seen the world.
After hearing this, Mao Shijian hesitated a little, and after a while he said with some embarrassment: "The humble post is not from Baishui. When I left the office to go north, the humble post was afraid that the trip would be dangerous, so I took leave to return to my hometown and recruited local volunteers to go north.
I wanted to work with the guards. However, there was a schedule difference and I couldn't catch up. When Lu Shenjun was returning the message, we met on the road and found out that I was going east..."
At this point, Mao Shijian became excited again: "Although the humble fellow countrymen did not catch up with me, I heard many ferocious deeds along the way about me leading the crowd to kill Hu. I thought that I could not see my cowardly and ambitious colleagues.
, so all the township parties pursued and frightened them, and they were effective in doing things. They repeatedly broke into thieves' nests and captured a lot of thieves and villains!"
When Li Tai heard this, he was suddenly surprised. Before he could ask in detail, Mao Shijian had already handed over a accounting book, which recorded in detail the income collected from his attacks on the thieves during this period.
"Okay, very good! Shi Jian, you are worthy of being a descendant of a famous family. You are brave enough to take action when faced with the situation, and you are agile in fighting opportunities!"
Li Tai took the account book and flipped through it briefly. He was smiling widely and at the same time, he was quite amused. Why did he feel like he was an old man who helped the protagonist grow up?
He worked hard here and lured away all the strong soldiers in the area, while Mao Shijian and the others happily picked up bargains in the back roads. The number of cattle and sheep confiscated alone was tens of thousands, and other personnel and supplies were also considerable.
"There were more than 700 humble countrymen. After learning the traces of the thieves from the Army Staff Office, they chased them all the way. On the way, they met the countrymen from other places who had been rescued by the army in Woxiong Ridge. Because the thieves were so powerful, they did not dare to pursue them in a hurry.
Wait until it is known that he will be engaged in the attack on King Hao Ren's castle.
When Qunhu marched northward, they occupied the fort, swept the surrounding areas, and rescued the fallen villagers. Today, there are still nearly two thousand people defending the castle. They were able to defend themselves, so they led their disciples to Fushi City, and then they knew that they were going to march westward.
, I changed my weapon and staff in that city, and I was waiting to go west to Bai Yushan to meet me, but I was surprised to hear that the giant thief had been defeated!"
When Mao Shijian talked about this, his admiration was beyond words, and he knelt down and said: "Being kind and righteous in treating people, and being brave in killing thieves are not only despicable, but fellow countrymen all admire this talent and hope to join the army, but they are afraid that the country people are despicable, so
I have come to submit you to a humble position, and I sincerely ask you to take care of me!"
Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this. He bent down and pulled Mao Shijian up, patted his shoulder and laughed and said: "Although the world is difficult and troubled, there is nothing to be afraid of when comrades gather together! I accept these heroic warriors from the countryside! I am afraid of the power.
If you are not up to it, you can help people in times of trouble. Now that you can boast for your little work, you hate the fact that there are virtuous people in your hometown. There is no greater justice in the world than the relationship between honor and disgrace. Since I can speak out in the world, I will not allow my close followers to work in vain!"
Most of Mao Shijian's team's results are now concentrated in King Hao Ren's fortress in the north of Kuli River. This is the area where several Hui troops were cleared in the previous distribution plan.
This kind of thing is not about first come, first served. When the overlords do not come forward to coordinate the distribution, whoever is more powerful will get more. Mao Shijian and his hometown party got a big advantage, but if there is no powerful person to provide
For protection, Hui could be annihilated by several Hui gang members as thieves in a matter of minutes.
This is the rule of survival in troubled times. If you want to reason with others, you must first consider whether you are qualified. Li Tai has encountered many difficulties from personnel before. Is he really a bad guy that everyone hates? In the final analysis, there is no equal dialogue.
Qualifications.
Li Tai had to take care of this matter due to circumstances, and fortunately it was Shu Hui who discussed it with each other. If it had been anyone else, this tricky situation would still have been a stretch.
Since he still had to go south to report his victory, Li Tai first arranged for Zhu Meng and Mao Shijian to return to visit Shuo Hui to explain the matter, and wait until he returned to find time to discuss a mutually acceptable plan.
After arranging this matter, Li Tai led his troops to continue southbound. After passing the Shibao River, a tributary on the east bank of Luoshui River, they entered Baishui County. The personnel arranged by the Taiwan government to welcome the victorious prisoners were already outside the county.
Wait for a long time.
"Li is so virtuous and capable that he dares to trouble Duke Fan Yang to come and greet him!"
When the visitor told him that it was Douluning who came to greet him, Li Tai felt a little flattered and did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly rode forward to meet him.
His idea of coming to a Kaifu and being greeted by Yi Tong was just a wild thought in his mind, but he didn't expect that a Kaifu actually came, and it was Doulu Ning who ranked among the top in the Kaifu.
"Gao Pingnan has worked hard during this trip and has made great achievements. I am deeply honored to be able to welcome such meritorious servicemen."
Douluning is tall, not inferior to Shuo Hui, and much more handsome than Shuo Hui. He fits the profile of the Murong family's handsome dog, and he treats Li Tai politely.
After hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly said: "Fan Yanggong has been famous for a long time, and he is the real meritorious man of the country. Those who follow Boshan are lucky to succeed, and they deeply admire the achievements of their predecessors, so they really dare not show off or boast."
He also suddenly realized that Douluning was one of the generals who encircled and suppressed Liu Pingfu in the seventh year of Datong. Now that he was so boastful about his achievements in capturing Liu Pingfu's son, was it a bit of a slap in the face to these people? Although he had already shown off all the way, but
You still have to stay humble in person.
Probably because of Li Tai's courteous and courteous attitude, Doulu Ning showed a smile on his face and said: "Gao Pingnan is too humble, a thief and cunning person, and it is extremely difficult to do his best. When he went to war, he still left a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Gao Pingnan, you noticed the improvement.
When the good news came in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Daxingtai were both happy and sent me here to welcome them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even ordered the parade to be postponed and dedicated to one day for the prisoners to be paraded!"
