Yu Jin and his party also traveled day and night and arrived at Longshang in early June. However, they did not go directly to Tianshui. Instead, they stopped at Shuiluo City on the way and went to Tianshui to invite Dugu Xin to see him.
.
In the city of Qinzhou, Duguxin has not appeared in public since his return, but he has not been idle. Instead, he took advantage of this period to systematically understand what Li Tai did in the state during his western expedition.
Ichiban.
It didn't matter that he didn't understand it. When he learned about the changes in the situation in the state, he was immediately shocked beyond measure.
Dugu Xin has been in Longyou for a long time, so he is more aware of how stubborn and unruly the powerful Hu chiefs here are. He has been kind and powerful for several years in the town, but the real nostalgia power he can control is still very limited. I really didn't expect Li Tai to be able to do so.
In a short period of time, he had penetrated into the township and had already captured a considerable number of local powerful people.
Especially when he heard Li Tai talk about Sifang City and other plans, Dugu Xin was even more surprised.
When he was still on the front line, he had seriously thought about how to digest and utilize the results of the battle in Liangzhou. He learned about the stolen home before he could formulate a rough plan in his mind. In panic, he completely understood the relevant matters.
I forgot about it, but I didn't expect that Li Tai already had a complete plan and had already started to implement it.
"If I can get Boshan to help me, it's like a goose riding on the wind or a fish flying into the abyss!"
Duguxin was extremely satisfied with Li Tai's idea. In addition to directly increasing income and regulating rural order, the construction of Sifang City could also effectively strengthen Qinzhou's central position in Longyou, allowing Tianshui to further establish its position as Longyou.
Right in the economic center, it is more convenient to gather personnel and materials here.
Li Tai didn't care much about this, not because he couldn't see this aspect because of his status difference with Dugu Xin, but because he knew that the possibility of Dugu Xin maintaining his power in Longyou for a long time was very slim.
Seeing him like this, Dugu Xin laughed: "I tried to recruit you a few times before, but you refused to follow me, and now you don't want to leave. Is it because you see the charm of this country and find it hard to leave?"
But no matter what, with Wang De serving as the governor of Hezhou, the situation of Dugu Xin controlling Longyou as a whole no longer exists. If there is any positive change, it is that the general Wang De served as the governor of Hezhou, in terms of military defense
It is indeed more reassuring than Yang Kuan. After all, Hezhou itself is adjacent to Tuyuhun, and the pressure from border defense is still considerable.
Therefore, the effect that Sifang City can strengthen Qinzhou's control of the entire Longyou is actually of little significance to Duguxin. The time he can enjoy it is very limited, and it is destined to be bequeathed to his successors. This is why Sifang City can
One of the guarantees of continued existence and normal operation.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty also had the old custom of relocating households from newly occupied areas such as Pingliang households and Pingqi households, this was only done when the state authority had not yet been fully established in the occupied areas and the administrative capacity was insufficient to take care of both.
When Li Tai heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, Bafu really didn't want Longyou to develop steadily.
Li Tai was also quite touched by this, although most of the time he had little identification with Yuwentai, the hegemonic regime dominated by Xianbei people. He always thought about subverting the regime and replacing it, and he often viewed people and things from the perspective of pros and cons.
, but it does not mean that he does not have his own feelings. He also has the same feelings for those who are truly close to him, trust him and help him.
Dugu Xin opened his mouth again, but did not continue. After a short pause, he backed away from the others, leaving Li Tai behind, and then said to him: "The Taiwan government wants to recruit me as a big Sima, and the boy in the house will be in trouble."
However, I have not agreed to it. I need to wait until the army has returned to make a comprehensive summary of this merit, and then listen to the imperial court to award it."
Although Yang Kuan is not considered a member of Dugu Xin's family, he is tactful, sophisticated and able to play both sides. He will never be stubborn enough to have any head-on conflict with Dugu Xin. Therefore, if he is in the town, he will not give Qinzhou and He
What obstacles are set up for the interaction between Liangzhou?
After hearing this, everyone had different reactions. Li Tai was also stunned after hearing this. He did not expect that the Tai government would take action to remove the bridge connecting Qinzhou and Liangzhou in Hezhou.
Then, Duguxin ordered Huangfu Mu and other government officials to prepare to go to Liangzhou. While cooperating with Shi Ning to rectify the state affairs, he also ordered 5,000 households of Liangzhou scholars and people to move to Guanzhong for resettlement.
Dugu Xin continued, and Li Tai frowned immediately after hearing this. It was not that he was unhappy because he could not be the governor of Weizhou. The key point was that he had not heard any good news in the past half day. You went to Shuiluo City to talk for two days.
What exactly did Tianduo talk about?
In this way, even if Yu Jin was dishonest and attacked Dugu Xin directly in Shuiluo City, Qinzhou would not be leaderless and in chaos.
This time, Duguxin did not stay outside the city anymore, but went straight back to the prefecture city surrounded by people and horses. The people in the prefecture capital received a very cold response. After entering the city, only Li Tai and a few close friends were left to discuss matters in the hall.
Therefore, when Dugu Xin rushed to Shuiluo City, Li Tai personally led his troops to march northward, directly into the territory of Northern Qinzhou, and stationed along the western foot of Longshan Mountain to stand up for his father-in-law, Dugu Xin, who was negotiating ahead.
Although he had discussed with Han Bao before the recruitment of border personnel into the core areas of Gyeonggi Province, he still recommended the relatively peaceful method of recruitment. If it was a blood transfusion, then the Bafu's forced relocation would be a direct
Cut off local flesh and blood to strengthen the center.
After everyone present sat down, Dugu Xin first announced an important piece of news.
Duguxin realized more and more that Li Tai's ability was far beyond the level of an outstanding junior, but a good helper who could really work with him and act alone, and even in some places even
He was quite inferior, so he appreciated it more and more.
Duguxin did not notice the change in Li Tai's expression, but sighed suddenly, looked at Li Tai again and said solemnly: "Although I am reluctant to leave, I will finally say that General Yu conveyed Da Xingtai's wishes and called you back to the house.
My thoughts were so strong that I refused to say anything, so I had no choice but to agree."
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded. Dugu Xin's pacification of Liangzhou was indeed a meritorious service. It was the right thing to be promoted to an official position, so how could it be used as a bargaining chip for under-the-table transactions? How could he take this opportunity to do this without the court declaring his merits?
Border talents were recommended to the court as meritorious officials to expand their influence.
Bafu did not do anything to directly appoint someone who had no dealings with Dugu Xin to serve as the governor of Hezhou. Instead, he appointed Wang De, a fellow from Wuchuan. Wang De's reputation and status were always inferior to Dugu Xin's, so it would not constitute a direct influence.
They are in conflict with each other, but it is too shameful to fail to steal the house this time, and it is difficult for both of them to let go of this knot.
Li Tai was naturally curious about the outcome of the negotiation between Dugu Xin and Yu Jin, but Dugu Xin was unwilling to say anything outside and remained silent along the way. His eyes occasionally looked at him and revealed a rather complicated meaning.
, which made Li Tai feel a little scared secretly.
Neither of the two items in succession was good news, and the atmosphere in the hall became a bit depressing.
"Hua Shan Gong is about to return to the capital, and Wang Tianen will take over."
Regarding the current matter, Duguxin had obviously gained some advantages with his own help, but he was still timid to argue with Yuwentai. After the death of Gao Huan in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, major changes in the external environment were a big step for the Western Wei Dynasty.
An excellent opportunity to gain incremental gains. At that time, people and material resources will be more concentrated in the hands of Yu Wentai, and Dugu Xin will have no chance or possibility of confronting others.
Li Tai led the crowd to wait outside for two full days. It was not until the morning of the third day that Dugu Xin, guarded by his own soldiers, rode his horse south to meet up and return to Qinzhou together.
"It's a given!"
After this period of getting along with each other, both Weng and son-in-law have a deeper understanding of each other.
It was out of his respect and trust for Li Tai that when Yu Jin's messenger arrived at the state capital from Shuiluo City, Duguxin weighed it again and decided to go to Shuiluo City to talk and negotiate with Yu Jin in person, leaving Li Tai behind.
Stay in the base camp.
If he was eager to return to the town before, it was more or less because he did not trust Li Tai's ability or character enough, and now allowing Li Tai to stay at home means that he really regards him as his successor to the current stage of power.
But no matter what the attitude is, it is always inevitable to be wronged. After all, this incident was caused by the unethical attempt of the Tai government to steal the house. Therefore, Yu Jin also lowered his attitude and went straight out of Shuiluo City to wait for Dugu Xin a few miles away.
Only then did they enter the city together in harmony.
When Li Tai heard this, he stood up from the seat in shock. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he sat back down and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "There is no change in this matter?"
Different from Qinzhou's fierce momentum, Yu Jin and his party were relatively small in appearance. There were not many people entering Long, and they even withdrew part of the Shuiluo City garrison to Pingliang, assuming a candid posture without fortification.
"But the previous plan of letting you do things in Weizhou from Boshan is no longer possible."
Li Tai was speechless when he heard this. He didn't want to come here before because things in northern Shaanxi were just getting on the right track. Now he has everything to do here in Longyou, but he wants to sneak away. Who can do this?
willing!
As for Li Tai, he is even less optimistic about the competition between Duguxin and Yuwentai. Regardless of power, position or means, Yuwentai is the number one person in Wuchuan. He wants to use Duguxin's power to get to the position in advance and go public through a backdoor. The difficulty is not ordinary.
If you are big, you still have to develop your own power step by step to be the safest.
Liangzhou was not a newly occupied territory, and Yuwen Zhonghe's rebellion was just a moment of turmoil. By forcefully moving a large number of people out of the country, they violently seized local vitality and destroyed local order, only to completely transfer the pressure of governance to the local area.
"Before, Boshan, you gave me several advices, telling me not to stick to this place blindly, and I was deeply touched. After all these twists and turns, I feel even more that the world outside Long is vast. So I plan to follow your words and move to Long.
Bian Caili was able to introduce them to the DPRK, but they also need a leader to lead them to establish a foothold in Guanzhong, and only Boshan is the natural choice for this matter."
Duguxin looked at Li Taizhengse and said: "It happened that Daxingtai was eager to call you back to the palace, so I relied on my merit and greed to get you a chariot and a position to open the palace. After attracting everyone to return to the court, I will go there immediately."
Grant!"
Li Tai had not yet sat down after returning to the table. He was shocked when he heard this. His legs stood upright as if they were equipped with springs. He asked in disbelief: "Cheqi? Kaifu? Me?"
Seeing his surprised look, Dugu Xin smiled and nodded, not without pride, and said: "Your father-in-law's power may not help you to become a high official, but as long as your talent and deeds are worthy, you will not be inferior due to seniority."
