Li Tai had already made a guess in his mind, and of course he didn't want to miss such a big event. Seeing people coming in and out of the hall, he stood up and stood to one side.
Li Yuan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, strode into the hall, first greeted Daxingtai who was sitting in the hall, and then said hello to Yu Jin and others in turn. When his eyes fell on Li Tai, he first showed a slight surprise.
, Xuanji smiled and nodded.
When Li Tai saw this, he also nodded to Li Yuan. Speaking of it, the first person he met and knew among the three brothers was Li Yuan, but now the most unfamiliar one is Li Yuan. The other brothers Li Xian and Li Mu are all
He has a good relationship with Li Tai and has even worked together with Li Mu, especially Li Mu. He even still raises his son at home.
As early as the eve of the Battle of Mangshan, when Li Yuan was ordered to go to Hulao to meet Gao Zhongmi, Li Tai had met him, but since then there has been no chance to work with him again.
Now that he has completely established a foothold in the Western Wei Dynasty, he no longer needs to rely on Li Yuan's power. Instead, he has to be wary of Li Yuan who will kill his father-in-law in the near future.
Yu Wentai was extremely enthusiastic about this confidant who had just returned from the country and entered the government. He stood up in person and stepped down to greet him. Without further ado, he first asked Li Yuan if he had eaten. It was later found out that he had traveled back day and night and had no time to eat.
, he immediately ordered the servants to bring food and drinks into the hall quickly, and he rolled up his sleeves and transformed into a meat cutter again.
When Li Tai saw this scene, he was filled with emotion. Looking at his boss's attitude, even if he couldn't compete in the world, there would be no problem in setting up a barbecue stall to support his family.
While Li Yuan was eating, many more people were called into the hall one after another from all over the Taiwan government. They were all important military and political officials of the Taiwan government. In particular, the newly reorganized Chinese and foreign military commanders were all present.
.
Yu Wenhu also entered the hall with his cousin He Lanxiang. His eyes paused on Li Tai for a moment and then quickly turned to one side, seemingly turning a blind eye to Li Tai.
Li Tai was still immersed in deducing the development of the current situation and was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Wenhu. But after seeing Yu Wenhu's appearance, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He knew that no matter what the outcome was this time, he had offended Yu Wenhu, but he would not bother himself about it. Not to mention that there was still a long time before Yuwen Hu had the power and could live and kill at will, even if it was
On that day, Li Tai would never sit back and let others slaughter him.
It’s not that his power and status have surpassed that of Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui, but that their foundations are fundamentally different. What’s more, even from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not a unified regime. Yuwen
Protecting this powerful official in the hegemony is just a bastard at best.
The friendship between them turned sour, but it's hard to say who suffered the loss. Yu Wenhu is not a headstrong person at the moment, but his narrow-mindedness makes people a little uncomfortable.
In the past, although Li Tai's talents were exposed, his position, status and reputation were lower than others, and they could get along well with each other. However, as Li Tai's power grew and even surpassed Yu Wenhu's, this relationship became difficult to maintain.
In other words, if he still wants to remain friends, Li Tai must take extra care of Yu Wenhu's inner feelings.
But even between a man and a woman, love must be two-way to be the most beautiful. If there are many worries and taboos between friends, it would be really shocking. If it is mixed with power, interests, etc.
Factors will make this relationship more difficult to maintain, and it is inevitable that it will gradually drift apart, and eventually break off the relationship completely.
As all the important civil and military officials in Huazhou City entered the government, and others who were far away could not make it back in time, the meeting officially began.
Yuwentai glanced around at everyone in the hall, and immediately announced a piece of great news: Gao Huan was dead!
As the news was announced, a series of exclamations and discussions suddenly sounded in the hall, and the faces of all the civil and military officials showed expressions of surprise, joy, and a bit of doubt and disbelief.
A person's position in the current situation can only be determined by looking at the reaction of his opponent due to his circumstances.
Li Tai looked at the shocked and suspicious expressions of everyone in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh that although Gao Huan failed to completely unify the entire north, he was still a well-deserved protagonist of this period.
The mutiny in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to this regime that had unified the north for many years but had become seriously corrupt internally.
Er Zhurong can be said to be a lucky man of the times. His power is located just between the Zhenbing and the imperial court, and he also serves as a buffer and communication hub between the two. However, due to his
Short-sightedness and arrogance ultimately ruined the Erzhu family's hegemony.
Gao Huan is not the protagonist of destiny. Even after the Six Towns Mutiny, he was neither as decisive as those righteous people who had the courage to resist, nor as brave as the defenders of order such as the Heba brothers.
All he has is a restless heart, pretentious and unwilling to be lonely, but he can't find the right goal at all. He is like a headless fly running around. Apart from being handsome and loving to toss, he has no merit.
Gao Huan's personal experience can be said to be a microcosm of the changes in people's circumstances in the entire six towns. They are also restless, full of desire, and want to change their circumstances through struggle. However, because they cannot do it the right way, they will only cause more trouble.
Big harm, hurting others also hurts yourself, and it hurts the world even more.
It was not until Er Zhuzhao delivered the remnants of the Six Towns into Gao Huan's hands that they seemed to have a fateful encounter. From then on, they were united and never gave up. It only took a very short time to rise quickly, almost like a miracle.
From a marginalized figure in the world to the absolute center of the current situation!
Gao Huan's personal struggle process is the transformation process of the citizens of Six Towns in the torrent of this era. To a certain extent, Gao Huan represents Six Towns, and Six Towns have also made Gao Huan!
Although there were many influential figures in the six towns during this period, including Gao Huan's destined enemy Yu Wentai.
But including Yu Wentai, none of them are as comprehensive as Gao Huan's representation of the six towns. Even He Batayue, who became famous earlier than Gao Huan, only represents the town soldiers' protection of order.
Therefore, from the mutiny in the Six Towns during the Zhengguang Period to the end of the Battle of Yubi last year, the entire north can be called the Gaohuan Era. It does not mean that he is the strongest figure in this era, but that his life is one of the most powerful figures in this era.
The most typical representative, and achieved the most brilliant success in life.
Li Tai was not the only one in the hall who was filled with emotion after hearing the news. There were many elderly people from Beizhen present, and their expressions were quite complicated. They were not just simply happy to hear that a powerful enemy had been killed, but they probably also had mixed feelings.
Gao Huan's death can be said to mark the end of an era, marking that the Beizhen soldiers will gradually fade out of the central stage of history.
It goes without saying that in the Western Wei Dynasty, after the Battle of Mangshan, many Beizhen military leaders gradually became helpless and empty-handed. The new Fu army system will completely replace the old Xianbei army system, both in terms of organizational structure and organization.
member.
As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, although they still had a strong foundation in the Six Prefectures of Xianbei, it would be more accurate to use the new concept of "Jinyang Xungui" to call them.
Beizhen's taste of belonging to Beizhen is getting less and less. Even if the personnel are the same as yesterday, the core has been or is undergoing profound changes. Even the heirs of Gao Huan's career are gearing up and can't wait to build a new one.
order.
If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. At the same time, if you just stick to nostalgia and refuse to face up to and accept the emergence of new things, you will eventually be abandoned along with the times.
What shocked the people present was not only the shocking news itself, but also the source of the news.
The relevant information was not sent back from Jinyang, but from Hou Jingchu in Henan. It also brought more explosive news, that is, Hou Jing rebelled with his troops, betrayed the Eastern Wei Dynasty and asked for surrender from the Western Wei Dynasty!
Although Li Tai had known about this development, but when he heard Yu Wentai announcing the news in a high-pitched tone, and the people present almost exclaimed in unison, he couldn't help but feel evil in his heart: Look at you guys
You look like you have never seen the world. You have no idea what a big impact and change this guy Hou Jing will bring to the entire world!
Of course, the next development has nothing to do with whether you have seen the world or not. It is a test of the imagination of all people in this situation. As long as it is unimaginable, it will not happen. Especially Xiao Bodhisattva, with his profound Buddhist teachings,
His broad mind has proven and practiced the feasibility of physical sanctification to the world!
Not to mention all the evil thoughts in Li Tai's mind, Yu Wentai announced the news, and Li Yuan, who hurriedly returned from western Henan Province, confirmed that Hou Jing had indeed raised a rebel flag, and everyone present immediately started talking again.
If the news of Gao Huan's death is still difficult to tell whether it is true or false, and even if it is confirmed, it will not immediately bring about real changes to the situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, then the impact of Hou Jing's betrayal of the Eastern Wei Dynasty can be
It's much more direct.
In last year's Battle of Yubi, Hou Jing was ordered by Gao Huan to lead the troops from Henan to the north to join forces, but he actually directed and performed a trick of escaping, retreating to Heyang City and waiting for Gao Huan's army to return in defeat.
After that, Hou Jing also led his troops back to Hulao City on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The reason why Hou Jing dared to disobey Gao Huan's orders, and even openly rebelled now, is of course inseparable from the development of his own power.
Gao Huan was already a deep-seated city, and of course he was not completely at ease with Hou Jing. When he was appointed to Henan, he also imposed various personnel constraints and restrictions to separate and balance his authority.
However, with the passage of time, these personnel arrangements gradually lost their original role. In the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Zhong secretly led Northern Yuzhou to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, further overdrawing the personnel accumulation left by the Hebei family in Henan after Gao Aocao's death.
, Hou Jing later led his troops to recapture Hulao, making his dominance over Henan more stable.
Although Gao Huan is extremely resourceful, it has to be said that the times will arrange corresponding opportunities for everyone and it is difficult to change the situation. Although he frequently resorted to tricks, Hou Jing still gradually became bigger than Henan under his attention. By the time Gao Huan last year
When planning to launch the Yubi War, they had to publicly acknowledge Hou Jing's powerful position in Henan and officially confer him the title of Daxingtai in Henan.
Therefore, when the generals learned the news of Hou Jing's rebellion, they were all excited. This meant that the situation in the entire Central Plains region and surrounding areas would undergo huge changes. Whenever turmoil came, it was natural that they, the generals, would take the lead.
Opportunities to perform and make contributions.
Therefore, several major governors of the Chinese army clasped their fists to invite him to fight. Even Yu Wenhu, who was sitting at the same table as He Lanxiang, flushed with excitement and clenched his fists tightly, as if he could really do it if he was asked to go to the battlefield.
However, these generals' request for war was mainly aimed at the Heluo area, hoping to take advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and being too busy to take care of themselves, to raise troops to march eastward and regain the Heluo territory abandoned in the previous battle of Mangshan.
However, they were not very enthusiastic about Hou Jing's request for surrender and assistance, and they did not even receive the message effectively, so there was no question of trust.
After all, the Bafu Central Army was newly created. During this process, Li Taigen made great contributions and was promoted from a mere white body to the current Hussar Kaifu and one of the general commanders of the Chinese Army. Of course, these generals who also command the Chinese Army and Horses
I also want to test the team's combat effectiveness and take advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty to create meritorious deeds.
However, although these newly appointed generals were bellicose and wanted to fight, others present had different attitudes and opinions.
Yu Jin, Li Bi and other senior generals did not rush to express their stance, but Chang Sunjian and other Taiwan officials quickly spoke out to dissuade them. It was not that they were war-weary and timid, but that the current financial savings of the Taiwan government could not support a major war.
A large-scale military operation, especially when the situation is still unclear and the course and outcome of the war are unpredictable, it is even more dangerous to launch a war hastily.
Originally, there was no need to inform the generals present about these issues, but Changsun Jian and others were also worried that the Daxingtai audience would become enthusiastic due to the eager encouragement of the war, resulting in some overly aggressive ideas, so they could only transfer all kinds of supplies from the Taifu government.
The current situation of savings shortage is listed one by one, as if basins of cold water were poured on everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall was visibly cooled down.
At this time, another governor stood up and said: "Last year, Governor Li led his troops across the river and attacked Jinyang directly. Before the attack, the government did not allocate much supplies. Fighting is used to support the war, because food is not enough for the enemy.
We all know the art of war, but if the army rushes into Heluo, there is no need to worry about running out of food..."
Yu Wentai was still hesitant at first, but after hearing this, he immediately made up his mind not to rush in. Gao Huan died of illness, and Hou Jing was originally overjoyed to rebel. However, they ordered a group of poor soldiers to go to Heluo to burn, kill and loot. This was not forcing Henan to
The people went to the opposite side to join the enemy? Who are the enemies? You were sent by the opposite side to engage in united front work, right?
"Today's matter is tentatively reported to you. The bandits in the East are gradually showing signs of exhaustion, and a general unification can be expected. However, until the matter is settled, everyone still needs to stick to their duties, wait for the envoys' orders, and not relax!"
The more people there are, the harder it is to reach a consensus decision. Yu Wentai couldn't resist calling the people here. He wanted to share the good news with the people. As for the real decision, of course, the close friends would continue to discuss it in depth behind closed doors.
So after announcing the news, he motioned for everyone to return to their duties. As for those attending the next meeting, they would go to the other hall to wait. When he saw Li Tai still looking around in the banquet, he raised his hand and said: "
