Li Tai's power is getting higher and higher, and it has been a long time since he was provoked face to face. When he first heard this person's unkind words, it felt a little strange for a while. But when he turned his eyes and looked around,
Any feeling of being a domineering boss in my heart suddenly disappeared.
He did not pay attention to the barbarian chieftain, but turned his attention back to Quan Zhongzun. His expression was a little panicked and awkward. It didn't look like he had agreed to give him some red-faced and white-faced insult. It was probably just simple.
Unable to restrain unruly subordinates.
"General Quan, there is no need to be polite. Now that I am entering the state, I will also inherit your previous achievements. I will defend the enemy from outside and protect the territory. It can be said to be magnificent!"
He also got off his horse and walked towards Quan Zhongzun with a smile.
Seeing that Li Tai did not care about the barbarian chief's statement, Quan Zhong was relieved in his heart, and immediately introduced to the crowd behind him: "This handsome man with striking appearance and extraordinary appearance is Xihe Gong Li Shi
Jun!
Li Shijun is a strong man of the country. He has conquered Jinyang and captured Heyang and other great achievements. He was awarded by the emperor. The people in the country, starting from Prime Minister Daxingtai Yuwen, treated Li Shijun with courtesy! In addition to conquering the east bandits,
Li Shijun is also good at managing Hu Huang. The northern state of the country was originally a wasteland with no order. Li Shijun has been in town for only a few years, and all the states are in good order and the weather is impressive!"
Following Quan Zhongzun's voice, all the civil and military members of Jingzhou also stepped forward to salute. However, the respect was somewhat superficial, and some even looked at Li Tai with unscrupulous eyes, which was completely unlike him.
This is the attitude you should have when facing your boss.
Seeing this, Quan Zhongzun was a little embarrassed. He forced himself to introduce the important officials of the state capital to Li Tai, but was interrupted by Li Tai waving his hand. He just said to Quan Zhongzun: "Can General Quan please arrange for me?"
Have we built a stronghold for our troops?"
After Quan Zhongzun heard the words, he nodded repeatedly. He personally led Li Tai to the plains a few miles downstream of the moat in the south of the city. As for those Jingzhou subjects who had not yet been seen by Li Tai, they looked at each other.
After a few glances, everyone followed him.
The location of this camp is quite good. It is backed by a ridge to protect it from the wind and sand, and there is a ravine in front for protection. The overall scale is not too small, and it should be more than enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people.
Quan Zhongzun led Li Taixing into the Chinese army's tent, but the Jingzhou civil and military subordinates who accompanied him were a little hesitant. Although they had not communicated much with each other, they already felt that Li Tai was a little young and arrogant.
If this is to be recorded directly into the account, I am afraid that it will be manipulated.
A few people paused outside the tent to weigh things up for a moment, then deliberately raised their voices and said to their companions: "Please tell the two envoys that there are still some miscellaneous matters in the garrison. Although they are not urgent, they need to be dealt with urgently. It is really difficult to stay for a long time..."
Li Tai, who had already entered the account, walked out after hearing the sound, looked around everyone with his sword in hand, and said: "Who are the people who are busy with their affairs and have no time to stay here?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Although these people were quite unruly, they were surrounded by thousands of fine knights, including the barbarian chief who had spoken before.
He dared to directly contradict the young envoy who was already showing his arrogance.
Then Quan Zhongzun came forward with a smile and said: "The envoy may not know that although the southerners who invaded the territory before were forced to retreat, the territory is still not stable, and we need to patrol more frequently."
After Quan Zhongzun spoke up, everyone else nodded in agreement, and those who didn't want to join the account also took advantage of the situation and raised their hands to leave.
Li Tai glanced at Quan Zhongzun speechlessly, but he didn't feel that he was colluding with the masses to exclude him. This man was also considered a brave general. He fought so bravely against the Eastern Wei Dynasty that he was shot in the eye, but now he has become a peacemaker, which shows that
The power of the countryside here is so strong that even a strong importer like him cannot suppress it.
However, Li Tai really didn't intend to fall out with these powerful barbarian chiefs immediately. He didn't show any anger when he saw the people leaving. Instead, he led a few horses and said with a smile to those people: "Although I
As the leader of the town, the reason why Jingzhou is stable depends on the hard-working people who have been waiting to guard it for a long time.
Before departure, there was also an order from Daxingtai, saying that I must solemnly commend the soldiers who defeated the enemy in the previous battle. Today, I am waiting to record your merits. I don’t know that you are too busy with work to attend the meeting, but don’t worry about your achievements.
You can add more in the future. I will also give you a few good horses that can be used for riding, so please don’t refuse."
As soon as these words came out, all the people present were happy. They originally thought that the previous blocking of the southern troops and horses had been exposed, but they did not expect that there would be more to come. Although the Kansai court has never been known for its boldness, it is better than nothing.
.
As for those who said goodbye, there were also some who felt regretful and said again: "Although the business is busy, my subordinates can do the work for me. As you are new, you should leave this to report the state affairs in detail."
But there were still some people who were not tempted by Li Tai's words. They took the gift of the war horse's reins, got on their horses, and quickly rode out of the camp.
Li Tai didn't care about this and just glanced at Li Quji beside him. Li Quji nodded slightly and stepped aside for a moment.
The people who chose to stay here gathered around Li Tai to enter the tent, and their attitude was more enthusiastic than before. In addition to Li Tai's words of reward for merit, his previous behavior of giving away horses also showed that he was not looking too high and not too close.
People of the masses.
After Li Tai entered the account, he did not immediately discuss his past achievements with the masses, but said that he would first complete the handover of duties with Quan Zhongzun: "Since I was ordered, the journey has been slow, and General Lei Quan has been waiting here for a long time. Now it is
Having entered the country, you should naturally take charge of state affairs and give the general some leisure time."
Quan Zhongzun was ordered to do so at the critical moment. Although he successfully solved the crisis, he was also troubled by the powerful powerful people in the country who had their own demands. Naturally, he was happy to hand over this hot potato quickly. When he went out to welcome him today, he had already handed over the seal of the state capital and
Take the governor's talisman with you as well.
After hearing what Li Tai said, he did not hesitate and handed over all the seals to Li Tai one by one. Then they agreed to inspect the government's library and other procedures in the future.
After handing over the talisman, Quan Zhongzun felt relieved, and his expression became visibly relaxed, which shows that it is really not easy for him to stay in this position. From now on, he has nothing to do with Jingzhou's personnel affairs.
Well, even if Li Tai immediately started a fight with the local tycoons, he would just stand back and avoid bleeding all over himself.
But Li Tai still wanted to use him to make a fuss. After putting away all the talismans properly, he looked at Quan Zhongzun and said with a smile: "In the preface, I owe you the general's previous achievements. It is not empty words. I am here, even though I am
It is used by the general, but it is definitely not a thief who steals the merits! A small amount of small things are prepared to reward the general. In addition, the funds consumed by the general's troops will be delivered to his hometown disciples one after another after the general returns home.
"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a move, and two soldiers came forward, each holding a lacquer plate in their hands. Each of the lacquer plates contained pure gold cakes. Each gold cake weighed one kilogram.
The two lacquer plates add up to a hundred kilograms of gold cake!
Quan Zhongzun was about to wave his hands and say no, but when he saw this scene, he was so shocked that he choked in his throat and could not speak. As for the other people in the tent, their eyes widened in shock, and they almost looked at each other with their eyes.
The two large plates of gold cakes were swallowed up.
Based on their past experience, they only feel that even if there are rewards in the Kansai Bafu, they are probably only of symbolic significance and will never contain any valuables.
But now Li Tai, the new envoy, directly broke through the ceiling of their imagination as soon as he made a move. A whole hundred kilograms of gold was just a piece of foreplay! Quan Zhongzun's troops traveled from Shangluo to Jingzhou with thousands of troops to consume supplies.
It’s also not a small number, and even this is reimbursed!
For a time, some members of the Jingzhou tribe who had not been very respectful to Li Tai suddenly felt a sense of pride in serving the new envoy!
"This, this is too precious! I am really ashamed to be the last general..."
After a while, Quan Zhongzun took his eyes away from the two plates of gold cakes, and then waved to Li Tai again and again.
"Since I have given you a gift, please accept it with joy. There are many people in the world who enjoy a fortune while doing nothing. If such thieves are not ashamed, why should General Quan be ashamed?"
Although Li Tai is rich, he doesn't just throw money at people.
Although Quan Zhongzun resigned as the governor of Jingzhou, he returned to his hometown as the governor of Luozhou. The land of Shangluo is an important bridge for personnel communication between Nanyang and Guanxi. If Li Tai wants to further develop the Nanyang Basin, he must not avoid the Quan family.
In Luozhou, which is entrenched in heavy goods, it is also hoped that Quan Zhongzun can play its role as a bridge in the future.
Of course, the most important thing right now is to set an example for these powerful people in Jingzhou. I am such a generous man who spends a lot of money. You can decide for yourself how you want to treat me.
While everyone was still dazed by the hundreds of gold cakes, he said in a deep voice: "You generals jointly resisted the enemy, so you should be rewarded. However, the previous work has not been completed, so I will not take credit for the time being.
Although the thieves in the south had retreated, they still did not write a letter accusing them of committing a minor provocation.
Now that I have entered the town, how can I allow thieves to flourish without being punished? I immediately wrote to Xiangyang and ordered him to send an envoy to the north within ten days from now on to apologize and ask for forgiveness, otherwise I will send troops to knock on the gate and severely punish the rebels!"
Everyone in the tent was thinking about how much of the gold cake they could get, but they didn't expect Li Tai to turn around and talk about starting a war with Xiangyang.
However, Li Tai did not give them a chance to argue. He just reiterated: "Now that I have brought 20,000 fine armors into the town, am I just swallowing my humiliation and asking for compromise? You and other disciples are preparing for war separately. You will be rewarded for your merits. Don't
