Wang Sizheng probably didn't expect that Li Tai would dare to show off to him just by saying something that didn't agree with him. The smile on his face became slightly stiff, and after a few breaths, his expression darkened.
"It is a good thing for young people to be brave and courageous. It is always better than many incompetent people. When I learned about Li Boshan's great achievements in Jinyang at the beginning of the year, I also lamented with the people that young people are terrible. But if you are just blindly brave, you will not consider the pros and cons.
, No matter how important or important it is, being brave and reckless will also lead to trouble!”
After a while, Wang Sizheng raised his eyes again and looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "When a young man succeeds and is in the top position, he will inevitably be full of arrogance. What's more, Li Boshan is indeed well-deserved, so it is naturally more difficult to listen to other people's advice. If you
I feel that I am not greedy for merit and the Heqiao battle is indeed in line with the national situation. Why doesn't Daxingtai keep you at Heqiao instead of expelling you from here?"
That's because I took the initiative to give people a hand so that I could find an opportunity to evacuate Heqiao!
When Li Tai heard this, he roughly understood what Wang Sizheng meant. It was just similar to his previous thoughts, complaining that he was too serious about the river bridge and made too many breakthroughs, leading the Bafu to invest more power in Heluo.
There was not enough investment in Henan and a cold treatment was carried out.
But the problem is, brother, please understand, aren't you the first to make your own decisions? I am so awesome that I can conquer two cities in Heyang in one go, but you haven't even entered the big bathtub in Changshe City, and you still say that I
Courageous and foolhardy!
Since Wang Sizheng couldn't hear Li Tai's complaints, he still frowned and said: "Everything should be done in moderation, and going too far is not enough! Since the late king's hunting in the west, his power has become stronger in the east and weaker in the west. The accumulated success and failure over the years can only be maintained.
He has no power to defeat thieves.
This time, He Liuquan was abandoned by God. His son was unable to please the masses and Hou Jing caused chaos in Henan. This was a God-given opportunity. We must make good choices, be cautious in planning, weaken the thieves and strengthen ourselves, and then manage patiently to defeat the thieves.
It's not difficult.
Guanxi is narrow and barren, making it difficult to plan for a grand plan. If we can take advantage of the situation and capture the Henan provinces, and have rich soil and water in our hands, we will have enough food for one year after three years of farming. This is a permanent plan for the growth of the country, and we can conquer the east with the west!
But it is annoying that the warriors who are greedy for power have no overall plan, and they take advantage of the situation and advance rashly, greedy for power, and attract all the armies to gather at the river bridge again, hoping to decide the outcome with a quick attack and a short battle. The thieves have not been defeated, and the etiquette has not been cut off. I miss you.
I am still complacent about my previous work on the river bridge, but I don’t know how unwise this move is!”
At this point, Wang Sizheng's eyes turned cold and stern when he looked at Li Tai, and this look and tone made Li Tai feel in a daze that he had really become a sinner of the country?
Wang Sizheng was one of the most famous people in the latter three kingdoms with powerful deeds. Li Tai had also imagined what it would be like to meet him. Would he feel like old friends at first sight and cherish each other? At the very least, they must have been friends for a long time.
Very happy to see you.
But he really didn't expect that when he met Wang Sizheng for the first time, he would be so angry and PUA-exposed, which made him a little confused. I think you also want to be Zhongshan Gong, right?
From Wang Sizheng's point of view, there is certainly reason to be dissatisfied with Li Tai. If Li Tai hadn't been fooling around at Heqiao, then the current focus of the Western Wei's military deployment would still be the tone he set before, centered around the counties of Henan.
, all strategic ideas and goals revolve around him.
But as far as Li Tai is concerned, you have your own plans and I have mine. You want to perform a snake swallowing elephant but you ask me to stand aside and watch, which is a bit overbearing. We can't understand each other in the first place, so who the hell
Whose overall plan should we follow!
Although some of Wang Sizheng's views are not wrong, and it is indeed not appropriate to start an all-out war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty at the moment, this series of arguments and angles are too self-centered.
The sudden advance of Li Taihe Bridge is indeed a variable, but even without this variable, the subsequent situation will not evolve according to Wang Sizheng's script.
It is naturally not Li Tai's character to be bullied and then do it in front of others, even when facing Wang Sizheng.
So after Wang Sizheng shut up, he held his sword in his hand and said with a smile: "Taiyuan Gong's eyes are as bright as a torch. The last general is indeed not known for his intelligence. He only returns to his duties and orders, no matter whether the front is a remote place or a remote place.
The center of the thieves' nest. The deeds of the former Zhanheqiao can be said to be true. There were many generals in the country who were like this, but there were none who could defeat the thieves' city like the last general.
Although the last general is short of strategy and unable to conquer the country, if Yongxi had been lucky enough to serve in Heqiao in the old years, although the high-ranking thieves are ferocious and only fight, they can defeat Heyang and there is no need to go to Kansai. Old things
Dare to make wild remarks, now that I have been ordered to help Yingzhou, I will certainly be able to worry about the current situation for the Duke of Taiyuan."
When it comes to talking nonsense, Li Tai is no stranger to others: You, Wang Sizheng, are indeed wise and brave, but what about your boss? When Emperor Xiaowu wanted to use me, he killed Gao Huan directly in Heyang and had to run away to imprison him.
West! Who can’t brag?
Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Sizheng's square face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and several of his cronies around him also pressed their knives and roared: "How dare you be rude to my lord?"
Although there were few subordinates around Li Tai, when they saw what was happening, they all drew their knives in their hands and protected Li Tai among them. The scene suddenly became tense.
"Shut up and put away your sword! The warriors of the Xihe Principality are here to reinforce you on the orders of Daxingtai. You must not be rude!"
Wang Sizheng was silent for a moment, then looked at the crowd with raised eyebrows and waved them away. Then he looked deeply at Li Tai and suddenly sighed softly: "The story is over, but after hearing Li Lang's heroic voice,
I am really curious as to whether the situation would be different from today if we could work together in the government back then. Please forgive me for the offence."
As he spoke, he raised his arms and cupped his fists to gesture to Li Tai.
When Li Tai saw this, he bowed slightly and said, "Young and energetic, I often get tired of fighting over trivial matters. Thank you Taiyuan Gong for your tolerance and tolerance."
There was already a great loss of harmony, because each of them took a step back and then reconciled again. Wang Sizheng also saw what Li Tai's temperament was, and raised his hand to reject the other subordinates, leaving only a few trusted generals, and then sent Li Tai to
Tai, please go into the tent and sit down.
Putting aside the unpleasantness caused by the previous conversation, Li Tai made another observation about Wang Sizheng, and felt that he was not a bad person in his heart.
Wang Sizheng is tall, handsome, and has a good demeanor. He looks calm, but his clothes are simple, without any ornaments, and his diet is also simple.
When Guo Xianying greeted Foreign Minister Guo Xianying, he said that there would be a simple banquet. Li Tai thought it was a modest statement. However, when he saw the food and wine being served, he realized that this was not modest at all and was completely true.
There seemed to be a lot of dishes on the table, but most of them were raw mixed vegetables, mixed with ointment at most. If there hadn't been a steamed fish on the table, Li Tai would probably have to eat it.
Do you think that all members of Wang Sizheng's department are extreme vegetarians? And even this steamed fish is said to have been brought from Jingzhou.
"Before we marched north from Jingzhou, we were not fully prepared and there was a lack of supplies along the way. Now we don't know when the situation in Henan will be settled. We are accumulating supplies and not daring to waste any time. We do not mean to neglect Boshan."
Wang Sizheng also seemed to think that the meal was too shabby, so he said to Li Tai with some embarrassment, and took out half of the steamed fish on his table and placed it in front of Li Tai with more dishes. Judging from his movements and expressions, he was accustomed to this.
.
Seeing this scene, Li Tai's resentment towards Wang Sizheng was mostly eliminated. A person with high authority and ability to control his own desires is always worthy of respect. Even if there are any differences and disputes between them, Wang Sizheng is obviously not motivated by selfish desires.
After a quick meal, Li Tai put down his chopsticks and asked Wang Sizheng what the current situation was in Henan and what help he could provide.
When talking about this issue, Wang Sizheng sighed and said: "Hou Jing is cunning and vicious. Before sending out the army, he was frightened by the overwhelming power and had promised to offer four cities. However, he saw that the Korean army had retreated and our country had many troops.
They gathered at Heqiao and still refuse to hand over the Changsha..."
When Li Tai heard this, he finally understood why Wang Sizheng had so much resentment against him before. This should be regarded as a variable caused by his involvement.
In the original history, Han Gui led his troops to withdraw when they saw Li Bi, Wang Sizheng and other troops arriving in Yingchuan. However, after Hou Jing had a scheming fight with Li Bi, Zhao Gui and others, he also felt that he was defeated and retreated obediently.
The company went to Yuzhou and moved closer to Nanliang.
But now, Yu Wentai's faction was about to start a war in Heqiao, and Li Bi was withdrawn to Heluo. Although Li Tai led his troops again, his intimidating power in Hou Jing's eyes was obviously not as good as Li Bi's.
Therefore, Hou Jing is still lying in Yingchuan and has no intention of abiding by the agreement and handing over Changsha. He probably wants to wait and see whether Heqiao wins the battle in the hope that the fisherman will benefit.
"I will invite Hou Jing to meet with him in the future, and Li Lang will stay here to attend the meeting together. If I need to threaten you, I can still use your words to deal with him!"
Thinking of being exposed by Li Tai just now, Wang Sizheng still couldn't let go, but if the target was not him, then happiness would naturally return, so he warmly invited Li Tai to stay as a mouthpiece.
Li Tai was also very curious about Hou Jing. He estimated that it would be difficult to see him again after meeting him once, so he nodded and agreed.
