"The last general, Quan Zhongzun, has met Li Kaifu."
The person who entered the account was a middle-aged general who was in his mid-thirties and burly. What was more conspicuous was that he could only see with one eye.
Behind this middle-aged man, followed a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who looked a bit young, arrogant and arrogant. After entering the account, he looked at Li Tai unscrupulously for a few times, and when he saw Li Tai standing at the counter
Li Quji, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked angry, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the one-eyed middle-aged man who had led him in with an angry look.
"It turned out to be Quanluozhou. I was rude and disrespectful. A strong man from a famous family has been famous for a long time."
Upon hearing Quan Zhongzun's self-introduction, Li Tai stood up, raised his hand and asked him to sit down with a smile.
Quan Zhongzun was born in the Quan family of Shangluo, a wealthy family. His ancestors had served as the governor of Yiyang County in the Northern Wei Dynasty for generations, and he was a well-deserved local powerful chief. His father Quan Qi died when he was nine years old, and he was invited by the villagers to be the county magistrate at the age of twelve.
, can be said to be the representative of local powerful hereditary states and counties.
But the Shangluoquan clan did not just consolidate their nostalgia to defend themselves. They also went to Luozhou when trouble came. When Quanqi was the governor of Luozhou, the Battle of Xiaoguan broke out between the two Wei Dynasties. Gao Aocao led the army to attack Luozhou.
, Quanqi and his son were captured, and Quan Zhongzun's eye was shot by a stray arrow during the battle.
Later, Quanqi and his eldest son Quan Yuanli were escorted to Yecheng, while Quan Zhongzun was left in the state due to serious injuries. Quan Yuanli fled back on the way, and contacted the villagers to attack and kill the governor appointed by the Eastern Wei Dynasty and recapture Luozhou.
, Quanqi died in Yecheng soon after.
Later, Quan Yuanli died in the Battle of Shayuan, and the imperial court appointed Quan Zhongzun as the governor of Luozhou. Although the father and son of this family are powerful in Fang Yu, they can also be regarded as loyal and loyal. Without them, they could command Quxiang.
The army could not resist the attack of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and it was difficult for the Bafu to firmly establish itself in the Kansai region.
"Ah Lang, why don't you quickly confess to Li Kaifu and admit his mistake!"
Quan Zhongzun did not sit down immediately, but looked back at the young man beside him and shouted angrily, then turned back to Li Tai with an apologetic smile and said: "This young disciple is the young son left by his deceased brother.
Close relatives and family members inevitably have preferences, so their temperament is a little arrogant. Although they are still pure and good-natured, they make small mistakes because of their impatience..."
Li Tai glanced at the young man who was still a little dissatisfied, but he sneered in his heart. Looking at this appearance, it must be that this kid led the crowd to seize the official warehouse just now. How dare you do this with all the troops gathered here? It could happen in any minute.
It is not a small mistake to cause the masses to follow suit.
Everything has two sides. The Quan family is indeed a loyal father and son and has made great contributions, but the subsequent heirs regard Wang Fa's military orders as if they are nothing. It can be seen that they are also used to being domineering in their one-third acre of land. For now, although they are being
He picked it up, but turned around and was fished out by his elder.
However, since Zhao Su had released all the people, Li Tai was not an official here, so he could not hold on to it, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhao here and I are colleagues in the Taifu, and we are here to get it."
The care is not shallow, and Buqu is also in good time. Since we are not the commander of the seal in this town, there is no need for Quanluozhou to force the young disciple like this."
"If you do something wrong, you will always be punished. You should, you should!"
However, Quan Zhongzun still looked humble. Seeing that his nephew still refused to bow his head and admit his mistake, he even glared at his one-eyed nephew, raised his leg and kicked him: "You scoundrel, you are trying to protect the loyal family that your father and ancestors swore with their lives."
Has the wind damaged your body? If you don’t kowtow to Li Kaifu again and ask for mercy, I will never give you mercy if the family law is presented!"
When the young man heard his uncle's fierce roar, he panicked and hurriedly kowtowed on the ground: "I was wrong, I am guilty, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
Li Tai looked at this scene and was even more confused. He couldn't figure out why Quan Zhongzun valued his attitude so much, so he waved his hand to indicate that he would not pursue it, and then asked Li Quji to lead the young man out. Then Quan Zhongzun
Sit down together and sit down.
"Although this young disciple acted recklessly, there was a reason for it. The former prince of Taiyuan sent you to lead the army to Henan, and finally he was sent south to continue the Jingzhou incident. It is difficult to be a big town with knowledge and talent, but since Daxingtai has dispatches, he will not
Dare to refuse."
When Li Tai heard this, he realized that it was Quan Zhongzun who succeeded Wang Sizheng as the governor of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is much more important than Luozhou, but Quan Zhongzun, who was appointed, said with a bitter look on his face: "I heard that the Duke of Taiyuan had lured away all the troops stationed in Jingzhou before leaving, and I will take over his duties now."
, If you need it, you can lead armor sticks to strengthen the border defense. Even if the righteous soldiers in your hometown are not afraid of hardships, once they leave their hometown, everything will be difficult. It is always necessary to prepare more supplies and other things to be safe, but the government provides
but it is……"
When Li Tai heard Quan Zhongzun's words, he couldn't help but want to laugh again.
Wang Sizheng sent out troops this time and took away more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry from Jingzhou. Although not all the troops were mobilized, the number of remaining garrison troops was also very limited, and most of them were local powerful men in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou in the Western Wei Dynasty is adjacent to Yongzhou in the Southern Liang Dynasty, and Yongzhou in the Southern Liang Dynasty is the place of Longxing of Xiao Bodhisattva. Its status may not be as important as Jingyang in the Southern Liang Dynasty, but the Western Wei Dynasty cannot use bean bags as dry food without defense.
So this time Quan Zhongzun left the town of Jingzhou, it was also a quite severe test. If he couldn't overwhelm the powerful Fang Yu people in the town the first time he entered the town, he would be kidnapped and thrown into a beam without any discussion. After all, the welfare in the south is good.
, and generous.
Therefore, the appointment of Ba Mansion is indeed a bit like using magic to fight magic. Let's see if Luo Dahao of the Quan family can defeat the Jingxiang hero.
Of course, the Bafu did not appoint people at will just for fun. The Quan family had thousands or even tens of thousands of subordinates as early as the Quanqi period. Now that they have been in Luozhou for many years, their power will inevitably grow.
However, the Quan family also followed the style of the Bafu, which was poor and unruly. Although it was a state, Luozhou was located at the eastern foot of the Qinling Mountains. There were high mountains to the east and west, with the unreachable Huashan Mountain to the north and Huashan Mountain to the south.
Wuguandao. This geographical location determines that even if the Quan family blocks the road and robs, it has a much better future than farming.
As the saying goes, the emperor does not need hungry soldiers, but Yuwentai is not an emperor, so he never has any psychological burden for sending hungry soldiers. Even Li Tai, the vanguard of the army, only gave supplies to 3,000 people, and had to pay for the rest by himself.
After all, what Quan Zhongzun received was all private work, and the Bafu was willing to allocate some supplies, which was considered a favor.
"I know that Li Kaifu will also lead the army to Henan, so I shouldn't bother him because of the difficulties I have in my job. I came to visit today just to apologize to Li Kaifu for the offense committed by the bad guys in the household, and to thank Kaifu's disciples for their financial support in recent years.
kindness."
When Quan Zhongzun said this, he stood up and bowed to Li Tai and said, and then sighed: "Luozhou is located in rugged mountains and fields. Although the people are willing to farm, they rarely have flat and fertile land, where they can do woodworking or mining.
To make up for the livelihood, we have to rely on the disciples of Kaifu to export salt and valley goods, so that people can have a comfortable life. Although Kaifu does not boast about himself, it has benefited many people in our hometown."
Li Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood. No wonder Quan Zhongzun was so respectful to him. He had indeed defeated magic with magic this time.
If he was just a prominent official, powerful families like the Quan family might not care. But in addition to his official status, he was also a Shangyuan tycoon, the leader of the Qu League, and the tycoon among the tycoons.
Business ties are getting closer and closer, and these rich people have to correct their attitude in front of him.
"No matter where you are, as long as you serve the country, you will be a hero. General Quan's story of a loyal family and his vow to protect his hometown is touching. If my disciples can help, it will be an honor for me. Where things come in, everyone takes what he wants.
Everyone gets what they need, and if there is someone who hoards things to hurt someone's feelings or sells goods out of curiosity, general please don't hide his evil, I will punish him severely!"
It seems that the Quan family has benefited a lot from trade, but Li Tai doesn't know about it. It should not be a trading business directly operated by his family, but since he is called his disciple, he may be a member of the Qu Alliance, so Li Tai said again
.
After hearing this, Quan Zhongzun smiled again and thanked him repeatedly. Although his family has been in charge of the military and political power of a state for a long time, due to geographical location and other reasons, it has been unable to integrate into the mainstream of Guanzhong. Whether it is in official circles or in the economy and people's livelihood, they are at the same level.
in a marginalized situation.
Quan Zhongzun, who has become famous in just a few years after entering the customs, and has skyrocketed both in terms of nostalgia and official status, has also been famous for a long time, so he learned from Zhao Su that he was actually here, even if the timing was different.
If it's not suitable, you have to bite the bullet and come to visit.
Quan Zhongzun was quite flattering to Li Tai. After Li Tai learned that he was going to leave Jingzhou, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, so he smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you today. I would like to wish General Quan this best."
The journey is smooth sailing, the country is under control, the people are harmonious and the foreign countries are subdued. I also have something to ask for, and I ask the general to do a little more work after his official duties in the town."
"Li Kaifu's words don't matter, as long as I can do it, I will do it!"
Quan Zhongzun was also about to establish a good relationship with this rich and wealthy man. After hearing this, he nodded quickly and said.
"It's like this. I got separated from my family and fought in Mangshan..."
Li Tai had previously learned from Li Yuan that his father, Li Xiao, had appeared near Guangzhou. After discussing with Gao Zhongmi, Li Zhusheng and other people who were familiar with his character, they all felt that his father might be worried about his family being implicated and went to the Southern Dynasties.
, it may not be as far as Jiangling or Jianye, but it is possible to linger in Xiangfan and watch the development of the situation and find the right time to return to his hometown.
Jingzhou in the Western Wei Dynasty conveniently picked up Xiangfan, so Li Tai wanted to entrust Quan Zhongzun to inquire about it on his behalf, and get sure whether he was alive or dead. After hearing this, Quan Zhongzun nodded and agreed, saying that he would come as soon as he entered the town.
If you ask the staff, whether you have any information or not, you will report it as soon as possible.
We stayed at the Huayin camp for one night. On the second day, all supplies and soldiers had been distributed, and Li Tai led his troops to the east and headed straight out of Tongguan.
