Where there are many people, there is more right and wrong, and the enthusiasm for gossip has nothing to do with gender.
The story of Li Tai's fight with Zhao Gui soon spread throughout the Baishui Plain and even further afield. For a time, no matter the generals or the soldiers, everyone must say this when they open their mouths, otherwise it would not be considered a well-informed trend.
middle man.
Such things are very arousing to people's emotions, and the identities of both parties involved are also unusual. One is a Wuchuan veteran, and the other is an upstart in the Bafu. The disputes and contests between them can naturally make people have great emotions.
space of imagination.
Not long after Li Tai led his troops back to Baishui Village, visitors began to arrive in an endless stream.
The first person to arrive was Nian Hua. He came all the way on horseback. When he saw Li Tai coming out of the village to greet him from a distance, he said: "Boshan, what's going on between you and Zhongshan Gong? I can't hear it in the camp."
Be careful and come to find you in a hurry. Mr. Zhongshan is a bit too much for relying on the old to bully the young. Even if you refuse to challenge, the people cannot say that you are timid..."
Hearing Nian Hua's voice of concern, Li Tai felt a little embarrassed. After he turned over and dismounted, he said sheepishly: "Brother Nian is indeed an unknown governor. I took the initiative to request this competition from Duke Zhongshan."
After hearing the words, Nianhua was stunned and couldn't react for a while. After a while, he spoke again: "Then why are you...Oh, that's all, you always have a reason to be like this. But Mr. Zhongshan is
You are a veteran general who has been in charge of the army for many years, and the soldiers under his command are also brave and mighty. Are you sure of victory?"
"If you say yes, that would be too arrogant. After all, it is just a drill. It would be great if you can win. Even if you lose, it is not a shameful thing for me. I can only say that the name of the country's general is well-deserved."
Li Tai's mentality is very relaxed. The victory or defeat does not have much psychological burden on him. Even if he loses, Zhao Gui will not be able to openly cause substantial harm to him. But if he wins, he will step on Zhao Gui.
Gui’s face has become famous.
When Nianhua saw Li Tai like this, he no longer worried about him. He turned around and said with a smile: "Even so, Boshan, you are still a minister in charge of military and political affairs. It is inevitable to be frustrated after repeated defeats. You may give orders or
It’s difficult.”
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded. He said he could win or lose, but he just didn't want to put too much psychological pressure on himself and his subordinates. He was not a bitch at heart. Since he took the initiative to provoke a fight, of course he hoped to win in his heart. It would never be the case.
In order to bring his face closer to Zhao Gui's beating more happily.
"If Brother Nian doesn't come, I'm going to look for you. I want to ask you about the skills of Zhongshan Gong's soldiers."
He took a step forward, took Nianhua's wrist and walked towards the village.
Different generals have different styles of leading troops, and the personal characteristics of the private army are more intense. The military talents are as strong as Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, and they dare not boast that they know the styles of their subordinate armies well and can command them freely.
Although the conflict between Li Tai and Zhao Gui has been going on for a long time, there has never been a fight with real swords and guns between them. The only time he was almost killed in an ambush by Zhao Gui's son was that there was nothing special about that encounter.
background color.
Although Zhao Gui's lack of discipline in several battles was impressive, the enemies he faced were not ordinary enemies. Li Tai felt that there was still a gap between his army and the main force of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
I don't dare to hope that I can scare Zhao Gui into fleeing in panic.
"When Bo Shan asked me this, it was really an unreasonable question. Although I am a general, I have not been in the army all year round, and I have no way of knowing the details of the army of other families."
Nianhua felt a little ashamed when he heard this question. Although his family was also from the town, his father came ashore much earlier than the town generals here, so he has always lived a pampered life, and his experience is even better than that of Li
Tai is more like a descendant of the aristocratic family. He really has no way to answer, but he doesn't mean to keep silent.
The two of them had walked a few steps when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance outside the village, and stood still for a moment.
"Apan, what are you doing..."
There were still more than ten feet away from each other, Cui Qian's complaint came first. When he saw Nianhua standing next to Li Tai, Cui Qian stopped talking for a moment. After stepping forward and dismounting for a while, he looked helplessly.
Although Li Tai was silent, there seemed to be a thousand words between his eyebrows.
After Nianhua saw this, he simply left directly. Before leaving, he told Li Tai to go elsewhere to inquire about personnel information and inform him later.
After sending Nian Hua away, Li Tai spoke first before Cui Qian could say anything: "My cousin came just in time. I was about to ask you about Zhao Gui's soldiers and generals. Now that the matter has come to this, of course we must do everything possible."
Prepare. Know yourself and the enemy and you will be able to fight a hundred battles with no danger. Zhao Gui and others rely on their own talents and are arrogant. If I can defeat him with my strength, I will surely be able to imitate the ambitions of the later generals!"
Cui Qian is now the official minister of the capital, and is in charge of military, criminal and prison matters. He is quite familiar with the talents and qualifications of the generals in the Bafu, but he is not as clueless as Nianhua.
Hearing what Li Tai said at this time, Cui Qian nodded and said: "In recent years, there are indeed many evil things in the army. Old soldiers bully new recruits, and townspeople suppress Han generals. After the Sixth Army was reorganized and expanded, it happened more frequently. It has been banned repeatedly. If we can
It is indeed inspiring to have young men, generals, and elders vying for supremacy.
But Ah Pan, you really don’t need to make such a bold move. The reason why Zhao Gui is called a veteran is not only because of his power and prestige, but also because of his hometown and nostalgia. The townspeople are in a foreign land, so they are alert to themselves and respect their nostalgia.
Even Daxingtai probably has such a measure, why should you, Apan, rush to compete with me?"
The main composition and structure of the Western Wei army were changing, and the replacement of the old with the new was inevitable. Cui Qian recognized Li Tai's ideas, but did not approve of his methods.
After hearing the words, Li Tai nodded in agreement. He would obey what he said and do what he did no matter how many times he was taught. The most important thing at the moment was of course to deal with this fight. Therefore, Cui Qian did not preach any more. After entering the village, he took Zhao Gui's men.
Qu tells a story about the personnel situation.
As the Grand Parade approaches, the flow of personnel information between Baishui and Huazhou City is already frequent, and some exciting things can be transferred between the two places in less than a day.
In Taifu, Daxingtai was preparing to go to the capital to join the royal family and courtiers in Baishui to participate in the grand parade. Suddenly, when he heard the news from his subordinates, his face suddenly sank, and he slapped the case and said angrily: "Isn't the country right now?"
There is nothing wrong with Ping Ping, but he is so strong that he wants to engage in such an annoying joke!"
Yu Wenhu, who was sitting at the table next to him, saw the angry look on his uncle's face and nodded in agreement: "Bo Shan did something wrong this time. He is participating in the Grand Parade for the first time this year and doesn't think about how to do it..."
"What's going on in Guanbo Mountain? The old soldiers are unruly, and things are not the same. As the saying goes, if you are far away, you will be resentful, but if you are close, you will be disrespectful."
There were no outsiders present in the hall, so Yu Wentai spoke more casually. When Yu Wenhu said this, he glared and said displeasedly.
Yu Wenhu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and quickly reminded in a low voice: "But according to rumors, it was Boshan who initiated this matter, and Mr. Zhongshan did not want to respond..."
"How can you only look at one side when looking at people and things? The former veteran cherishes things and wants to stay away from me. If it hadn't been for Boshan's conspiracy, I'm afraid there would be no improvement so far, but he himself would inevitably offend the masses. He does it openly and secretly, but he doesn't know what he has endured.
How many times have he made things difficult and criticized him? He has a clear-cut attitude towards others, and he is indeed a bit arrogant and unconventional. Even if I make it so, others may not know it, how can I not know it?"
When Yu Wentai said this, his brows furrowed again and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuangui responded to Shaoliu's challenge, which is really a bit confusing. There are many veterans both inside and outside. If it weren't for the unbearable anger, why did Boshan provoke him alone? Previously in Jingzhong
How can he be at peace when he sees the imperial court because of the personnel affairs in the East Palace, has no time to rest after returning to the palace, and makes enemies of the people again because of the Kai Cao incident?
As long as Zhao Yuangui has the tolerance of a virtuous elder, he should understand that the boy is just afraid of being ostracized by the masses, so he is showing off his teeth and hoping to be intimidated. Yuangui is not known for his bravery, so he can be patient and strong.
What about his reputation? Now that he has taken on the challenge, how much prestige can he show even if he wins against the younger generation? It is nothing more than relying on his own qualifications, underestimating my confidants, and showing off his prestige in my sect!"
Hearing his uncle's complaint, Yu Wenhu was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said again: "Li Boshan has indeed made many additions since he entered the government and has achieved good results, but compared with Zhu Yuan's original intention, he is still
It’s because his merits have been diminished. Kuang Zhongshan’s great achievements in setting the trend in the past year have been less successful in recent years, but it’s not easy to cut back on the achievements, right?”
"People are different, so how can we generalize? They share the same prize with me and the royal family. They claim to be barbarians. Although they are helpful to the present, it may be difficult for future generations to support them. But Boshan is my retainer and disciple. He can be promoted to a long-term career and can be strong.
Although the candidates for my family and family have no merit in the imperial court, I have the resources to support them."
When Yuwentai talked about this, he looked at Yuwenhu with a strange look, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You and Boshan often helped each other and shared the same views. Why are you so contradictory today?"
In the normal state? Did I blame you a few days ago for not catching Boshan because of anger and alienation?
If this is the case, it would be very disappointing. Nowadays, family affairs and national affairs are only half done, and we need to recruit talents from all over the world to do their jobs. Even I know that talents have expertise and deeds have special achievements, so I dare not boast about it.
You can lead the world in everything. Now that you know your own shortcomings, you will look for your strengths and use them. In the final analysis, these talents gathered in the household should be used by your brothers?"
After Yu Wenhu heard this, he hurriedly avoided the table and stood up. He repeatedly stated that he had no such intention, but secretly sighed in his heart. If this trend continues, it is really uncertain who will use whom in the future.
"I remember that there are still government guards around Boshan. You should go to Baishui first and take back the guards. Don't allow them to fight privately with the people who are not earning enough money to fight in public. And tell the general to arbitrate fairly, regardless of the outcome.
How about it, don’t continue to pester me, if you miss the agenda of the grand review, you will be severely punished!”
Yuwentai ordered Yuwenhu again, and after hearing this, Yuwenhu subconsciously raised his head and glanced at his uncle, "You are so focused on your armpits, how can you be so embarrassed to be fair? Zhao Gui has been in the army for many years, and he has been a mortal."
There are outstanding generals and disciples who are not allowed to be appointed officials or nobles, and those who are not allowed to fight privately, who do you want him to send to the field?
