Of course, this is also because Li Tai took the initiative to take on some heavy tasks, so other parties involved in the war did not have to be as busy as him.
Yang Zhong, the most dashing among them, met to discuss the distribution of the spoils after the battle, and then received part of the grain and grass supplies from Yu Wengui. When he led his troops and returned lightly along the road they came from, the rest was distributed to
Xiazhou will be responsible for transporting his troops and supplies into the state later.
Although Yu Wengui had many men and horses, the personnel involved were quite complicated, and he should have been a relatively busy one. However, he just ordered the Hu chiefs under his command to discuss the distribution plan, and then distributed the men, horses and captives allocated to Xiazhou to the various states in proportion.
The ministries and ministries returned the money, food and materials, and Yu Wengui handed them over to the other ministries of the coalition army. The matter in Xiazhou was basically over.
Of course, what seems to be a relatively simple process is backed by the prestige accumulated by Yu Wengui and even his entire family when they lived in Xiazhou. Otherwise, these powerful chiefs would argue about who is more and who is less, and it may not be possible for a few months.
Arguing over a result can lead to a direct confrontation of weapons.
Dongxia Prefecture was severely damaged during the war. Almost all the local Jihu tribes that the bandits followed were killed. Even Li Mu, the governor, was besieged in the prefecture city for many days.
Logically speaking, there should be a lot of various relief and remedial work in Dongxia Prefecture, but Li Mu is very leisurely. Chief Hu rarely comes to the government to seek redress of grievances, and he will not take the initiative to go to the countryside to visit.
It can be said that the relationship between the government and the people is very unfamiliar. The tribes have no idea that the government has the responsibility of providing relief and relief after disasters and restoring production. Li Mu does not intend to use this to strengthen the authority of the government and reach out to the masses, and does not care about the lives of these people.
This can be regarded as a typical lazy government that neglects its duties. However, there is another saying in the history books, that is, "the people will cherish the peace of the government." However, it cannot be said that the official morals are corrupt and he himself is a martial artist.
, in these troubled times, I am fortunate to have made a lot of achievements, but I really lack the talent and experience to govern. It is better to live in peace and quiet than to mess around.
Li Tai was naturally unable to remain quiet and indifferent to the world, so his mind was filled with the big plans urging him to seize every available opportunity.
After several battles, the Lishi Hu people who had been captured and voluntarily surrendered were gathered together, and a total of more than 13,000 people were gathered. Most of them were old, weak, women and children, although they were still relatively small.
The Hu tribe's power was considerable, but compared with the tens of thousands of horses at the beginning of crossing the river, their power was drastically reduced.
Before Li Tai finished speaking, Liu Ping got up from his seat, walked in front of Li Tai's table, knelt down with a plop and said: "The matter is indeed not small, but there is no need to hesitate for a long time. Although the general has not been with the big general,
The governor knows each other's heart, but he knows that the governor will never point out a narrow road. Since his mind and vision are not as broad as the governor's, it will never go wrong if he obeys the orders! The general will accept this matter on behalf of the clan and thank the governor very much.
Kind advice!”
"The thing is like this..."
The Heishuihu in the lower reaches of Heishui was originally the target of Li Tai's focus on prevention and control this year. However, he did not expect that Lishihu, a strong dragon passing through the border, would appear again after winter. However, the infestation of the Blackwater Hu did not disappear, and it remained the same.
It happened as predicted.
Li Tai smiled and recounted his plan, hoping that the Liu clan of Diaoyin could send their tribesmen to the Sheyan River Basin for business and fortification, and to become the northern outpost of the three-defense city system.
As a local chief, of course he hopes that the bigger the territory, the better. A wider territory means a wider living space. But Sheyanshui is hundreds of thousands of miles away from their current clan, and the landscape and geography are,
I am not familiar with all the people, customs and features, and it is hard to say whether I will be able to establish a foothold after moving there.
Zhu Meng quickly crossed his hands and replied, He Basheng's old men had long regarded Li Tai as their new lord, and hoped that Li Tai could lead them to avenge their old lord, so they were loyal to Li Tai and obeyed his advice.
It is already the depth of winter, and there is little output in the fields. It is also a huge consumption for tens of thousands of people to eat horse chews.
The person who led the reinforcements here was Liu Ping, the son of Liu Kang, the leader of the Liu clan. When they entered Fangcheng and sat down with each other, Li Tai first expressed his gratitude to him, and then ordered someone to place a map directly in front of Liu Ping.
On the previous case.
"When Master Lang led his troops to pursue the bandit army in the northern border, several bandits from the lower reaches of the Black Water, Hu Bian, gathered to harass them again. The servants immediately organized their troops to resist and counterattack, and repelled all the attacks. Please remember Master Lang
Ordered to defend the city and not attack."
"May I ask, Grand Governor, what does this mean?"
Although the resource endowment of the surrounding areas of Weiping County is not bad, large-scale production will have to wait until next spring at least. Li Tai is not a savior who liberates the poor people in Jihu. He saved them and provided them with basic food and clothing. Of course,
There is also a need to repay.
Li Tai turned over and dismounted, saw slight signs of damage and additional fortifications on the city wall, and looked at the defense chief Zhu Meng and asked.
Due to adequate preparations and the fact that Zhu Meng, a veteran general, was stationed here, these bastards in the territory were not allowed to succeed in the end. However, it was difficult to drive them all away. A strong cavalry army could destroy a country, but if they were allowed to fight in the vast territory
Catching a rabbit accurately in the forest wilderness may be in vain.
The Lishi Huzhong alone is not enough to fully develop and utilize this realm. And despite Liu Kuzhen's cooperation and control, Li Tai'an's eyes and ears reported that the Lishi Huzhong are still very stubborn in their desire to return home, and
I don't want to live here for a long time.
Outside Blackwater Fengcheng, a group of people had been waiting here. Seeing Li Tai and his troops arriving, they all rushed to greet him, calling him "Lord" or "Alang", and some even used official titles to match him.
Therefore, Li Tai also put aside his pity and squeezed out as much energy as possible from these Lishi Hu captives this winter to create a foundation for settlement around Wei Ping City, and then recruited more trustworthy Hu tribesmen to run the operation.
The sharp decrease in his own strength has greatly reduced the ferocity of these Li Shihu. In addition, Liu Kuzhen tried his best to cooperate. Li Tai's control of the Hu tribe was quite effective, and he defeated them without any trouble.
They were led to Dongxia Prefecture and settled near Wei Ping City.
He needs a convinced and enterprising Hu tribe to act as his eyes and ears in the north, so he does not intend to use strong methods to force him. He will only briefly analyze the pros and cons. If the Liu family still sticks to their homeland and refuses to move, the current cooperation
Although it is still maintained, there will be no in-depth cooperation and development in the future.
Therefore, the survival mode of Jihu in this situation is to first develop in obscurity, then break out when the power becomes stronger, then be conquered and pacified, and then flee and continue to develop in obscurity.
Li Tai planned to keep this section of Li Shihu, but exchanged some of the prisoners captured from other parties, giving up other aspects of the distribution of spoils, in exchange for a Jihu tribe of tens of thousands of people completely under his control. This deal
Whether it is a loss or a profit remains to be tested by time.
It can be seen that even if the Bafu of the Western Wei Dynasty did not focus on the northern Shaanxi area, this area is by no means a place where everyone can run wild and undefended. Rouran used to be able to do it, Gao Huan used to be able to do it, but Li Shihu is still not qualified.
Li Tai stayed in Wei Pingcheng for a period of time. After watching the work of the Lishi Hu people gradually getting on track, he left a group of troops to garrison here while he went south and returned to Heishui Fangcheng.
“Is Fangcheng suffering from severe harassment?”
"This is indeed a major matter related to the rise and fall of the tribe. There is no need to rush into a decision. You can go back to the tribe to discuss it with the tribe leaders and elders, and you can also conduct on-the-spot investigation..."
After narrating the course of the war, Zhu Meng also emphatically reminded him of the contributions of the Liu clan in Diaoyin in helping the war here.
After hearing this plan, Liu Ping's expression changed uncertainly. He was both happy and worried, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Li Tai knew that the Diaoyin Liu family was not a poor and degenerate Hu tribe, so this choice was also very difficult for them.
Li Tai was originally complacent that Diaoyin Liu and Xiazhou Yuwengui were reimbursed for the cost of this battle, but after taking in this group of Li Shihu, it was not enough to fill in all the reimbursement materials he received from Xiazhou.
Liu Ping looked at the somewhat unfamiliar map with a confused look on his face.
Therefore, after entering the country, he first organized some of his men to patrol and survey the surrounding area, and initially included this section of more than a hundred miles upstream and downstream of the Sheyan River into the area to be colonized, and built some fortifications and dock walls in some dangerous places.
For defense purposes, I occasionally encountered some open-field coal and iron veins with considerable reserves and good quality, so I organized people to circle them and dig them out.
At present, they are trapped in the harsh living environment and the tragic war they have just experienced. These Lishi Hu people have no choice but to gather together to depend on each other. If this problem is not taken seriously, then next spring when the field resources are abundant, these Hu people will definitely gather in large numbers.
's escape.
Li Tai's dealings with the Diaoyin Liu family mainly involved negotiating with the patriarch Liu Kang. He was also deeply impressed by Liu Chang'an who asked to see him before, but he was a bit unfamiliar with the eldest son Liu Pingze, but he did not expect that he would be so decisive in dealing with the matter.
I was a little surprised.
If it is hoped that the new Fangcheng in the north will be put into construction and production at the beginning of next spring, the sooner the Diaoyin Liu family will naturally move, the better. Li Tai was still worried about whether his department was capable of doing this, but here Liu Ping expressed his position
After that, the doubts in his heart were dispelled. He stood up from the table and helped Liu Ping up. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "A man of righteousness will never take responsibility lightly! As long as the northern defense city is built well, I will definitely help him."
Please ask for the position of county governor!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
After Liu Ping heard this, he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. Because he had offended the powerful people in power, his family's repeated attempts to return to justice had been very difficult. Even if they invested 500,000 pieces of silk, they could not get Li.
Tai made such a solid promise, but now he just expressed his decisive stance, but the expected reward was astonishing, so he hurriedly paid his respects and said: "But if you can follow the command of the governor, you will never have an officer or rank, and you will never be able to do it.
