The riot lasted for more than a quarter of an hour before it gradually subsided. The hundreds of troops brought by Yang Ling had lost all fighting spirit after seeing their lord captured. Facing the attack of Li Tai's men, perhaps
Either they dismounted, abandoned their weapons, surrendered on the ground, or fled in all directions. There were only a few people who truly dared to fight and resist.
When Li Tai returned to the post, the Lueyang chiefs who had been detained and had not been allowed to come out all flattered him: "You are really a young hero, so brave! This Yang Ling is also known as Yang Ling in the county.
The brave general is not the enemy of your numbers!"
When Yang Ling, who was tied up here, heard that the young general he was fighting with turned out to be Li Sanqi, his eyes widened in surprise for a moment. After a while, he suddenly became discouraged and collapsed on the ground and said: "I have no vision.
, I don’t know a true nobleman, and suffering this calamity is retribution. I don’t dare to beg you to let me go, but I just beg you to see that I have been in the town for a few years without any results, and don’t involve too many of my subordinates. They, Longbian, have never been
I don’t know the power of noble people, but I just obey my orders..."
"Dog thief! Before, you were arrogantly insulting and offending the commander. Now you have been captured by the commander. Life and death are up to you. How dare you expect to be given a lighter sentence? What a dream! You have been in the county for more than two years, except for being violent and cruel.
, insulting the villagers, what else can you boast about?"
Several Lueyang chiefs who had been suppressed by Yang Ling couldn't help shouting and cursing loudly when they heard this. The chief who was the most active and had been secretly remembered by Li Tai in his little notebook was guarding the post pavilion.
He squeezed out from the gap between the soldiers and kicked Yang Ling head and face.
Li Tai frowned immediately when he saw this, raised his hand to pull the man away, and called Heland closer, and said: "Although the situation in Lueyang is not a matter in my case, it will be taken into account."
In fact, I am telling Dugu to open the mansion. Please ask Brother Helan to temporarily lead the people back to the county until the state capital is cut off. I will not go to the county seat and go straight to Tianshui. I will take this Yang Ling with me, and the military in the county will be in charge.
Brother Helan is temporarily appointed as the deacon, and we will make proper arrangements when I come to town."
After hearing this, Heland quickly nodded in agreement, and was secretly happy. It was different to have someone to rely on. Not to mention how the state government would deal with this, Li Tai directly entrusted him with the management of the county's military temporarily.
This was unthinkable before.
Li Tai knew that with his words alone, Heland might not be able to control the soldiers and barbarians in the county, so he pulled Yang Ling up again, leaned over and stared at him and said in a deep voice: "I make such an arrangement, Yang
Does Sima have any objections?"
"No, no! There are more than 1,300 able-bodied soldiers in Beizhi's account. They all obey the orders of Ambassador Helan and transfer the military symbols of the county soldiers. But whether they will obey the orders, I can't guarantee. I didn't know before.
From a humble position..."
Yang Ling nodded in agreement, and searched among the captured subordinates, and ordered the generals who carried the talisman to hand over the tokens quickly, while not forgetting to state that the chiefs here were also arrogant and difficult to control.
When Heland collected all the military tokens as if he had found a treasure, Li Tai then ordered his subordinates to release the county people in the post and let them follow Heland back to the county town.
But when the wealthy chief who had been kicked and beaten by Yang Ling was about to say goodbye and leave, Li Tai raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "This country sage has angrily accused Yang Sima of committing crimes in the county, but
I have just entered this town, and all kinds of people and things are unfamiliar to me, so I would like you to go with me to Tianshui, and tell the state government in detail the true nature of Yang Sima's crimes, so that he can be punished fairly and not unjustly."
After hearing this, the wealthy chief immediately looked embarrassed, shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "I'm just a servant in the countryside. I don't leave the county all year round. I really don't dare..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Li Tai's face suddenly darkened, and the smile on his face turned into a sneer: "It seems that I didn't speak clearly enough. There is no need to invite someone here to slander the county magistrate."
The country warriors won it!"
The two strong soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the shoulders of the powerful chief and tied him up like a Yang Ling, ignoring the twisting and struggling of the powerful chief. Seeing this scene, the faces of other powerful officials in the county suddenly changed.
Two people came forward bravely and wanted to beg for mercy, but after being glanced at by Li Tai's cold and stern eyes, they both lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Whether county officials have neglected their duties or violated the law, the Taiwan government has its own review regulations, and hometown sentiments must be expressed in accordance with the regulations. If what this person said is true, there is no false accusation, and I will send him back to his hometown with a gift. But if it is verified that what he said is true
They are biased towards reality and have hidden plots to trap them, and we will never condone them!”
Li Tai looked around at everyone, and then said: "If you feel that it is difficult to prove one person's words, you can go together. If not, just disperse, and there will be no obstruction in your journey!"
After hearing this, the county people looked at each other and did not dare to step forward after all. After saying goodbye, they quickly left the place with Holland.
Li Tai and his party stopped staying any longer, and Dang even packed up and continued on the road, moving forward along the Lueyang River.
On the way, they also encountered some people and horses, or the fleeing Yang Lingbu called his companions, but they just followed and watched, and did not dare to directly intercept. Apart from this, they did not encounter any other accidents.
The climate change in Longyou lags slightly behind that of Guanzhong, and the rivers thaw slowly. Although it is early March, there are still large blocks of floating ice in the Lueyangchuan River, but in the valleys along both sides of the river, the fields are growing organically.
It has gradually recovered, and occasionally you can still see farmers plowing the frozen soil.
This Yang Ling was not a good-for-nothing madman. After being taught a lesson by Li Tai and seeing that Li Tai had no intention of killing him, he respectfully and enthusiastically explained all the humanities and customs to Li Tai.
.
"Although spring begins much later in Longbian than in Guanzhong, spring is particularly short and summer will begin soon. Therefore, farmers have to plow before the soil has thawed. If they slack off, they will miss the farming season..."
When Li Tai heard Yang Ling's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Di slaves actually understand the farming season?"
"Although they are of different races, they share the same water and soil. There are also differences between the raw and cooked Di and Qiang. They have lived in Qiuchi, Longnan for a long time, and their production and rest schedules have long been the same as those of the Han people. Farming is much safer than pastoralism. No matter how high or short the grain is,
, there will always be seeds left behind. Cattle and sheep themselves are living animals that consume a lot of materials, and the fur, meat, and milk that can be supplied to shepherds are really limited..."
Seeing that Li Tai was interested in this topic, Yang Ling was heartened. She didn't care what to call him, so he started to tell Li Tai about the income gap between farming and grazing.
Li Tai had never seriously and systematically understood the differences between the two production methods before. After listening to Yang Ling's story, he was deeply touched. He had no intention of killing the other party, and when he saw that he was no longer as arrogant and unruly as before,
After that, he ordered his subordinates to untie him and give him a horse to ride with the team, no longer treating him as a prisoner.
Soon the group walked out of Lueyang County and entered Qingshui County. Li Tai didn't have any acquaintances like Heland in Qingshui County, so no one came to greet them. They only took a short rest and supplies at the hotel along the way before continuing.
On the road, we finally arrived at Tianshui County.
As soon as the group entered the country, they saw a team of thousands of people standing on the road ahead, and soldiers came to inquire. After learning that it was Li Tai and his party, they quickly returned to report, and everyone on the opposite side rushed to greet them.
Come forward.
"Mr. Sir, it has been a long journey all the way. I am unable to welcome you because of my servant duties. I hope you will forgive me."
The first person to come forward was Li Tun, a general of Duguxin's family whom he had known for a long time. He dismounted his horse and looked at Li Tai with his head held high. He crossed his hands with joy and said, his welcome to Li Tai was beyond words.
Li Tai also dismounted and exchanged a few words with Li Tun first, and then the people coming to greet him from the back gradually arrived. There was also an acquaintance among them, that is, Gao Bin, who was the Sima of Qinzhou.
As for the others, Li Tai was relatively unfamiliar. Probably Duguxin was fed up with being poached by Yuwentai, so he would not go to Guanzhong to recruit the staff he recruited in Longyou.
Li Tai held many positions, including chief of staff of the founding government, prefect of one county, and governor of five counties. As an officer, he came to the town for the first time. Of course, all his subordinates within his authority tried their best to come to greet him. There were nearly thirty people in front of him.
Welcome.
Of course, not all of the people present were Li Tai's subordinates. When Li Tun introduced the people to him, the first person he could not control was the first person he could not control: "This person is Nan'an Gongyu Wenshijun of Nanqin Prefecture..."
…”
Yu Wenqiu also had a burly figure that was typical of the town people. His attention was not entirely focused on Li Tai. When he heard Li Tun introduce himself, he stepped forward and nodded, and then asked: "I heard that Li Sanqi passed through
When Lueyang County arrested Yang Ling, a criminal, where is he now?"
