It is also a commonplace topic that people leave their hometown and live in low places. No matter how prosperous they were before, once they enter a new environmental field, if they cannot quickly find the convergence of emotions and interests, they will be quickly marginalized.
The glory of the past will quickly fade and be completely abandoned.
The Guanxi Bafu established by Yu Wentai seems to accommodate many forces, and it seems to have the flavor of being open to all rivers and being tolerant. However, a closer look at its internal force relationships will reveal that the status of these forces is not the same.
They are completely equal, but have a clear relationship of superiority and inferiority and even slavery.
Although Li Tai encountered some personnel difficulties along the way, it was generally smooth sailing, but this did not mean that others could establish themselves in Kansai as smoothly as he did.
I have to admit that his noble family background brought him great convenience. In the context of the confrontation between the East and the West, the two Wei Dynasties were not connected in power, and it took a certain amount of time for individual abilities to appear. Only some universal recognition
Only with your value concept can people quickly form a preliminary understanding of you.
If Li Tai had not been born in the Li family of Longxi, he would not have been received by Shu Hui when he was in Tongguan, and the subsequent series of encounters would not have happened.
There are many mountains in Guanxi and there are many forces. Thanks to the connections brought by his background, he was able to quickly join He Basheng, a big boss who although not strong enough, but his status is transcendent enough, passed the initial difficult stage.
.
Not to mention that along the way, Li Tai has been able to keep his finger on the pulse of the times. He has almost closely followed the construction of the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty to gradually develop his own power. Now he can be regarded as the core of the Guanlong Armed Group.
members, and have developed connections and influence among all the forces in Kansai.
However, Li Tai's development path also has its own uniqueness. Even if others follow suit, it is difficult to copy it. For example, Li Licheng, who was also born in the Li family of Longxi, entered the customs earlier and was more upright.
Miao Hong, but her personal development lags behind that of Li Tai.
Linghu Yanbao's entry into the imperial court is indeed a great achievement, and his family's power will play an irreplaceable role in the stability of Guazhou and other Hexi areas in the future, but it does not mean that he can roam freely in Guanzhong.
Li Tai led Linghu Yanbao to the big tent today just to let him experience the anti-foreign and bullying atmosphere in Guanzhong. As for Zhao Guize, it was an unexpected factor, but it must be said that the effect was really immediate.
Just looking at Linghu Yanbao's frightened expression now, Li Tai could not help but feel that Zhao Gui was really worried about him forming a clique for personal gain.
Originally, Li Tai was worried that he might be poached by Yu Wentai. After all, the boss has never been a particular person, and it was not the first time that he poached his subordinates. Therefore, although Linghu Yanbao was very respectful to him, Li Tai was not in a hurry.
There was no real master-slave relationship with him, and he was not allowed to have too much contact with his subordinates.
After all, being poached is already very unpleasant, but if the personnel secrets of his subordinates are also leaked, it will be even more detrimental than gain.
But looking at Linghu Yanbao's performance now, it seems that he was really frightened by Zhao Gui. He deeply realized the importance of forming a party and uniting, and Li Tai couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Even if Yu Wentai tries his best to win over Linghu Yanbao later, can his salary be higher than that of Zhao Gui? As long as it cannot exceed that, Linghu Yanbao will have to look for help elsewhere to offset the psychological shadow that Zhao Gui has cast on him.
It should be noted that Li Tai did not intend to engage in a life-and-death fight with Zhao Gui at the beginning. The current situation of irreconcilable power has developed step by step. At this point, the initial dispute between right and wrong is no longer important. As long as there is a chance, it is over!
Li Tai took a step forward, patted Linghu Yanbao on the shoulder with a slightly mature look, pointed to some Hui walking in front and said with a smile: "A big tree will inevitably have dead branches, but a little noise is not enough to deter Xiang Dao."
When I first came to this village in the past year, I also looked up to Changle Gong for his benevolence and righteousness. Now I am somewhat influential, and I am willing to extend this benevolence and righteousness to the masses."
After Shuo Hui heard this, he turned around, waved his hands and said with a smile: "I really can't afford such a high reputation. But who is lucky enough to be famous in the world? Whether it is an honor or a disgrace, you must make it yourself.
.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Linghu Yanbao and said with a smile: "General Linghu doesn't have to worry about what happened in the former tent. Now that you have entered the country as a meritorious official, and you have a young man like Boshan to protect you, who can do it again?"
Dare to block the shortcut?
I still remember that when I first met Boshan, I heard Zhuang said that although Duke Zhongshan is a treasured minister of the country, he is just dust compared to the Tao. It is a great sin to block people from taking the shortcut. I still feel alarmed when I think about it. Since I am lucky enough to follow him
Such a brave person in this world should have a deep understanding of such an outstanding character!"
When Linghu Yanbao heard Shuo Hui talking about Li Tai's old quotations, he felt a little bit in his heart, and immediately showed recognition. At the same time, he looked at Li Tai with admiration and sighed: "It turns out that this kind of evil feelings,
Mr. Lang has also experienced it. Fortunately, Duke Changle gave him some powerful words of encouragement. He must keep them in mind and not be afraid of dangers!"
While talking, the group arrived at Shuo Hui's camp. As Shuo Hui's cronies came in to greet him, Li Tai took a quick look and soon discovered that the size of Shuo Hui's tribe had shrunk a lot, and some of the families he had seen before were
All the generals from the Ministry of War have disappeared.
In recent years, there have been few wars in the country. Although Shu Hui was dragged by Li Tai to fight a few battles with Jihu in northern Shaanxi, there was not much reduction in the number of men. The sudden disappearance of so many subordinates inevitably makes people curious.
After they sat down in the tent, Li Tai raised the issue directly. After hearing this, Shu Hui smiled and said: "The six armies have expanded and there is an urgent need for commanders, so they call their troops skilled military officers."
Scattered among the troops to supervise the soldiers in the camp."
Although the subordinates were dispersed, Hui Hui did not show any look of reluctance and distress, but was still smiling. After all, these subordinates were not really attrition, and they were not to fill the front line with cannon fodder, but to go there.
Served as the commander and general of the middle and lower levels.
As a result, although the number of troops directly belonging to one's own army is reduced, the influence on the army has been greatly expanded and strengthened, which is not a loss at all.
Especially for Wuchuan generals like Shu Hui, who followed He Batayue into the Pass to quell the rebellion in his early years, successive battles have caused great damage to the tribe. Even if all the remaining troops are concentrated in his own hands, it will be difficult to exert them.
No matter what the big effect is, it is better to choose another way to increase one's authority and influence.
The Sixth Army of the Bafu Army was almost crippled in the Battle of Mangshan. In the battle with Pengle of the Eastern Wei Dynasty alone, forty or fifty generals were directly captured. These generals are the backbone of the Sixth Army's organizational system. The losses were so huge.
, but it is difficult to supplement them. In addition, Yuwentai also demands to continue to expand the army on the basis of the original six armies, so the demand for these middle and lower-level generals will naturally be greater.
The expansion of the Bafu army requires generals and commanders. The Beizhen military leader can use this to strengthen his influence in the army and make up for the loss of his troops. Yuwentai is also happy to weaken the power directly in the hands of these old villagers and weaken them.
It forms a constraint on the large number of powerful Kansai powers who have been incorporated into the army, so that the balance between Han and Hu forces in the army will not be immediately unbalanced. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
But this model was a bit unfriendly to Li Tai, a new Han military leader who had a strong local base and did not need to recruit more soldiers.
He did not want his selected officers to be dispersed to serve in other armies, nor did he want his own troops to be mixed with sand, so he frowned and said: "I briefly heard that the Sixth Army still intends to expand, but
I don’t know what to do. For example, if my subordinate Longyouerlang comes to the country with me, does it need to be integrated with the Sixth Army, or should it be added to another department?"
"Such doubts are not unique to Boshan, but the Taiwanese government also has different opinions on this and has not yet formed a final plan."
After hearing this, Shu Hui added: "Nowadays, the six armies' personnel and other services are gradually in a state of exhaustion, especially the consumption of materials has become more serious. If the newly added troops are to be maintained for a long time, at least one of them must be supported by another plan.
Nowadays, there are the most disputes in the government. Either the various Kaifus are increasing their support, or the new troops are choosing a place to garrison, and they are eating in the prefectures and counties..."
After all, even a penny can stump a heroic man. Last year, military construction was able to make great progress because Li Tai made a fortune by inspecting Buddhist temples. However, after this windfall was consumed, there was nothing to do next.
With a new and considerable increase, it is natural that the previous rhythm cannot be maintained.
The focus of the current debate in Bafu is whether to adapt measures to people's conditions or to local conditions. For Li Tai, there is not much difference between these two trends.
By opening a mansion and raising an army, he is about to reach the official rank standard, and he also has considerable financial resources in his hands. As far as Shizhou County is concerned, he still has a foundation in northern Shaanxi, so he will not have nowhere to attach himself.
Regardless of this, Li Tai seems to have become the first person to eat up all the dividends in the era of military construction after the Battle of Mangshan.
He does not need to abandon his martial arts to maintain his power and influence like Shuo Hui and other Beizhen generals, but he also has a powerful position that far exceeds the current common standards of Guanlong tycoons, and he is not like the Yuanwei clan and other Guandong nobles who have no name.
, is too big to be responsible, and has been unable to build its own power base.
During the conversation, Shuo Hui was also curious about what Li Tai had gained from his trip to Long. When he learned that he had brought back more than 3,000 strong men from Long You, he couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "
Sure enough, honor or disgrace is made by people! I still remember that in the past, when Boshan was in trouble, he still needed help from the masses, but he didn't expect that he was suddenly far away and his power was so strong!
It's just a pity. I originally thought that we could work together with you when you returned to China, but now it seems that may not be the case, but I don't know what will happen to you?"
