As Duguxin and the Tai government reached a consensus on reconciliation, all matters in Longyou were back on track.
At the beginning of the year, when Yu Wenzhong and Juzhou rebelled in Liangzhou, rebellion also broke out again in Guazhou, far outside Yumen Pass. However, with the cooperation of the powerful families in the state, such as Linghu Yanbao, the rebellion first started in Liangzhou.
Before being pacified, the rebellion in Guazhou was quelled and an envoy was sent to report it.
So the Tai government ordered Han Bao, the minister in charge, to go west together with Li Xian to appease the counties in Hexi. As for the other people who participated in the suppression of the rebellion in Liangzhou, they returned to Qinzhou in batches to rest and recuperate, and to wait for rewards from the imperial court.
As soon as he returned to Qinzhou, Liang Shiyan, the governor of the East Qinzhou Township Regiment, impatiently selected a few treasures from the trophies seized in Liangzhou.
With a few followers, he hurriedly left the camp and went to the state city. He threw his invitations into the state capital and was led by the state officials to sit down in the gate and veranda and wait for the summons.
At this time, there were many people sitting in the cottage, most of them were in their twenties and thirties. When they saw the tall Liang Shiyan sitting down, a young man next to him couldn't help but come over and whisper.
: "My appearance is very majestic, but my face is a bit unfamiliar. May I ask where the person is from? Is it because you are also seeking to use the state capital?"
After hearing this, Liang Shiyan shook his head and waved his hands and said: "Someone who is not from this hometown is already in another state. He came to the government today just to see Mr. Li Shijun."
"Do you know Mr. Li with a single step?"
The young man felt relieved when he heard that Liang Shiyan was not a competitor. When he found out that he was here to see Li Changshi, he became even more enthusiastic. He stood up and bowed hurriedly. Looking at Liang Shiyan, he said earnestly: "Li Shijun has been here recently.
When I select a lieutenant in the mansion, a certain number of young men and women from the countryside are brave enough to come to see me. May I ask if I can follow you in? But if I can see Li Shijun's face, no matter whether I am appointed or not, I will definitely thank you with great courtesy!"
When Liang Shiyan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but asked quickly: "Li Shijun is actually selecting assistants, is it only limited to people from this hometown? My hometown is stable, and I don't know if I can participate in the conquest."
?”
The young man originally thought that Liang Shiyan or Li Changshi were being a little pretentious and planned to use the back door, but he did not expect that it aroused the other party's competitive spirit. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then sat back in his seat.
After a while, perhaps because he felt that he was being stingy or because he was curious, the young man asked again: "Since I am already in another state, I don't think I have to advance, so why do I still want to be chosen by Li Shijun?"
"
"How can Li Shijun be like other officials? He has a famous family, is young and has a high position, so he will definitely have long blessings, and his family will surely be distinguished for a long time. What's more, most of the powerful people in the country are
Even if we, the men from Guanxi, sacrifice their lives for the people of the town who come from far away, it is difficult to be more respected than the veterans who belong to Xianbei under their sect. Although this person is still unknown, he can bear to throw himself into the dark! "
After Liang Shiyan heard this question, he opened his mouth and gave many reasons. It can be seen that this matter has been carefully considered and was not just a coincidence.
After hearing Liang Shiyan's answer, the young man's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he came forward and said: "I know that Mr. Li comes from a famous family. If you follow him, you will be able to be famous in the countryside, and you will be able to do it because of him."
His power has benefited his parents, but he didn’t know that there are so many other benefits besides that?”
Liang Shiyan laughed again after hearing this, pointed at the young man and said rudely: "If you only focus on the countryside, you will really underestimate Li Shijun. Your humble opinion is really narrow, but you are lucky to be able to communicate with Li Shijun."
I am here with you, and with your knowledge and wisdom, you may be the only opportunity of fortune in this life. If you can seize it, you don’t have to look any further..."
The young man was naturally dissatisfied at being belittled in this way, and he glared and wanted to refute. But Liang Shiyan himself was not an ordinary person, so how could he be refuted by such a young man who had no experience in the countryside and relied mostly on his imagination to understand the world?
After an argument, the other party was soon speechless.
The conversation and debate between the two also attracted the attention of other people in the cottage, and many people came over to listen attentively.
Recently, Li Tai's recruitment of staff in the state has indeed attracted a lot of attention and response. Many families in the state have sent their children here.
Firstly, Li Tai's origins in the Li family in Longxi made people here subconsciously respect and get close to him. Secondly, the power that Li Tai now has in Qinzhou is also quite shocking. All the deeds he has done since entering the town are surprising, especially
The Sifang City, which is still under construction, has attracted even more attention.
Most of the countrymen who came to serve in the army were due to the above reasons, but they did not realize how meaningful it was to follow Li Tai.
After all, due to their limited knowledge, they didn’t know much about Li Tai’s current position in the entire Western Wei Dynasty. In addition, the opportunity they got too easily was not taken seriously. They only felt that success was gratifying, and he could enjoy the scenery in the countryside.
It's not a pity if it doesn't work out, life will always go on.
But after Liang Shiyan gave a lecture, they gradually realized that the kind of person they followed would have a profound impact on their career prospects and encounters in all aspects.
Liang Shiyan did not know that Li Tai would be appointed to open the government soon, but this did not affect his optimism about Li Tai's future. In the Western Wei regime with complex internal forces, it was far more important to choose a person worthy of following.
It is much more important to work hard blindly.
Just like in the current Western Expedition, Liang Shiyan's East Qinzhou troops were fringe forces. They had to do a dirty and tiring job all the way back and forth. During the battle, they crowded the front line but were not assigned any clear combat tasks. They just attracted the enemy's troops.
The level of danger is not low at all, but the real main force in the battle is only Duguxin's own troops.
As a battle progressed, all the credit was taken by the main force. Not only did their cannon fodder team have rare achievements on the battlefield, but they also lagged behind in the subsequent collection and distribution of the spoils. In the end, they were just one man.
Liang Shiyan is optimistic about Li Tai, not only because of his youthful ambition and ability to defeat veteran generals like Zhao Gui, but also because of Li Tai's outstanding talent, which can proactively open up new situations and create opportunities and opportunities for progress for himself and his subordinates.
space.
In his heart, he really hoped to follow Li Tai's command. When he saw that these Longyou fellows did not pay enough attention to such a rare opportunity, he became envious and resentful.
To let them understand the value of this opportunity.
After everyone in the cottage listened, they paid more and more attention to this matter. Some people felt that they were not sufficiently prepared, so they simply stood up and left for the time being. After returning home, they would prepare carefully before fighting for it again.
For a time, nearly two-thirds of the people in the originally full house suddenly left. Liang Shiyan's order was also greatly advanced from the back. When the state officials walked in again to introduce the people, they were stunned when they saw this scene.
For a while.
When he finally arrived, Liang Shiyan immediately stood up and straightened his appearance carefully, and then followed the state officials and strode towards the mansion.
After Duguxin returned to town, Li Tai did not need to stay in Zhitang all day, and he also needed to organize his own personnel team, so he asked someone to set aside an area in the state capital specifically for his use.
When Liang Shiyan arrived here, he looked up and saw Shi Jing standing outside the gate. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at Shi Jing and said, "This is Shi, Shi... When did Brother Xian enter the state government?"
Shi Jing didn't care that Liang Shiyan had forgotten his name. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "I went on an expedition to the west. Fortunately, I was not injured. After returning, I went to the state capital and stayed in the tent of my husband, Li Shijun. Liang
Are you alright, Commander-in-Chief?"
When Liang Shiyan heard that Shi Jing, his defeated general, had actually joined Li Tai's family before him, he was filled with envy. He couldn't help but stepped forward to ask how Shi Jing gained Li Tai's recognition and acceptance.
Shi Jing didn't know how to answer Liang Shiyan's enthusiastic cross-examination for a while, so he winked and signaled to his fellow state officials to quickly introduce him.
In the hall, Li Tai was flipping through the names of the countrymen who came to join the expedition compiled by his subordinates. He waited until Liang Shiyan entered the hall before handing out the Chinese scroll. He looked down at Liang Shiyan and said with a smile: "General Liang's army is on the Long March. Now,
It’s really gratifying to come back from the battle with my body intact and my style still intact.”
Liang Shiyan had a lot of thoughts in his heart and seemed a little at a loss. He first raised his arms to bow, and then bowed in the hall, and said to Li Tai above: "I'm sorry, I'm lucky to have you give me a sword, so I didn't get hurt.
However, I did not win any special honors in the battle. I am really ashamed of myself for not living up to your high hopes! After I returned home, I heard that there were not enough eagles and dogs under my sect. I sincerely requested you to be included in the wall. I will serve you wholeheartedly.
!”
When Li Tai heard this, he felt happy. He wanted to form his own team, and the more talents the better. Of course, for a person like Liang Shiyan who volunteered actively, he would not refuse anyone.
He stood up immediately, walked down the steps quickly, bent down to help Liang Shiyan up, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face: "The imperial court has given me authority, but I am often afraid that I will be unable to do it alone, so I will wait for wise and courageous people."
"The general wants to increase the splendor of my hall, but I can't get it!"
