When the Northern Inspection Team entered Suizhou, Cui Qian, the governor of Suizhou, Yang Fu, the chief governor, Li Yantou, the governor of Fangcheng, and Liu Pingping, the prefect of Diaoyin, were already waiting in the state for a long time.
Suizhou has not been established for too long, and the personnel are simpler than that of an important town like Xiazhou. They are basically Li Taijiu's subordinates when he was in northern Shaanxi. The military strength in Suizhou is not as strong as that of Xiazhou, with only less than three people.
Thousands of elite knights and thousands of powerful chieftains.
Although this is also a considerable military force, it is still not enough for everyone who has just left Tongwan City.
However, Suizhou is not without other interesting things. For example, Li Tai led his troops to cross the river eastward and dominated the heart of Jinyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The people in the country still remember this incident, and naturally they want to see it.
The place where people and horses crossed the river. Some people even suggested that it could be arranged for them to cross the river and enjoy it?
Cui Quan and others shook their heads after hearing this request. This is not something to joke about. Neither the national power of the two Wei Dynasties will be fundamentally changed because of Li Tai's previous attack, nor will the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty on the other side of the river.
It will not become a paradise for the people of the Western Wei Dynasty.
At present, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is still affected by Hou Jing's rebellion and is focused on solving the chaos in Henan, but it has not completely ignored the dangers exposed by the previous stolen homes. It rebuilt the Wutu City that was previously destroyed by Li Tai and strengthened the garrison, and
It is still compressing Li Shihu's living space.
Naturally, Yuwentai would not engage in such boring things that had no practical significance except provocation and convenience. He carefully inspected the river defense along the bank of the river and inquired about the personnel flow between the two Wei Dynasties.
After the Liangzhou rebellion was put down and Guazhou regained effective control, the Hexi Corridor was opened again, allowing the Western Wei Dynasty to regain its geographical advantage in conducting trade with the Western Regions.
Merchants were also extremely sensitive to changes in the situation. However, because the two Wei Dynasties were still in a state of hostility, and the Western Wei Dynasty did not systematically strengthen the management of commercial and trade matters, there was still no obvious change in the personnel flow among the people.
Li Tai was one of the first to notice and be able to take advantage of this change. When Yu Wentai asked about these situations, he naturally explained his arrangement of sending Li Yunxin and other subordinates to Jinyang to infiltrate in disguised merchants.
When they came to Suizhou this time, Li Tai was also curious about how the infiltration plan of Li Yunxin and others was going. After all, they went to Jinyang this time not only to sell goods for profit and to gather intelligence, but also to bring his family from Jinyang.
come out.
Li Yantou was based in Suizhou, providing various personnel assistance to Li Yunxin and others, and had the clearest understanding of the implementation of their plans.
The previous invasion of Jinyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty led to an overall improvement in the defense capabilities around Jinyang. This of course made it very difficult for Li Yunxin and his party to sneak in. They once lingered outside the Beishan Great Wall for several months, unable to advance, but finally
It was the huge demand for luxury goods from the nobles of Jinyang that opened the doors of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Although they had the same origin, the differences in the areas they occupied resulted in huge disparities in national power, which allowed the nobles of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to live a life of wealth and freedom earlier than the poor people of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Of course, if you have money, you have to enjoy it, so the world in Jinyang has become increasingly extravagant. Especially with the death of King Gao, on the one hand, the supervision imposed on them has been reduced, and on the other hand, they have also deeply felt that life and death are impermanent, and they should promptly
To enjoy themselves, the demand for luxury goods in Jinyang surged.
Li Yunxin and others have a stable and high-quality supply of goods, and naturally they quickly gained the favor of Jinyang nobles.
Naturally, these spies would not directly meet and trade with the dignitaries of the Eastern Wei Dynasty openly. Instead, they would hide themselves through various relationships with merchants and merchants. They have formed a relatively stable channel network in Jinyang, although it will not cause any harm to the powerful people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Everything is well understood, but any important things that happen in Jinyang can basically be learned quickly and passed back.
As for the family issue that Li Tai is most concerned about, Li Yunxin and the others also made a breakthrough a few months ago and made direct contact with the Li clan in Longxi, and both parties are actively communicating.
Li Tai was overjoyed when he learned about this. As his power in the Western Wei Dynasty became more and more important, his family members who stayed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty became more and more a worry and weakness for him.
Although there were many people from the Western Wei Dynasty whose family members were stranded in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and even the members of the Yuwen family in the Eastern Wei Dynasty were not extinct, the Li Tai family was still different from these relatives of the soldiers.
The conflict between the Eastern Wei clan and the nobles has always existed, and Li Tai directly brought misfortune to the family members of the nobles in Jinyang. The reason why the family can be temporarily safe now is because Gao Cheng is relatively friendly and dependent on the Guandong clan. Without direct
In the case of conflicts and interests, he would not commit massacre of his tribesmen just to vent his anger.
Therefore, for Li Tai, it was natural that the sooner he could bring his family to Kansai, the better. While solving a heart problem, it also allowed him to no longer be restrained when facing the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, when discussing the matter with Li Yantou in private, Li Tai made it clear that Li Yunxin and the others who were lurking in Jinyang should pay attention to the personnel changes in Yecheng in the next few months, hoping to take advantage of Gao Cheng.
Extreme joy gave rise to sorrow, and when the supreme power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was transferred again, the family was brought back from Jinyang in one fell swoop.
Naturally, family arrangements do not need to be explained carefully to Daxingtai. After Yu Wentai only heard about Li Tai’s personnel intelligence structure in Jinyang, he could not help but smile and sighed: "There are so many people in the world."
Those who have good vision but low power only think that others are lucky to have accomplished something, but they have no idea that other people have taken precautions and worked hard to prepare for success in the future! Every time Boshan has amazing plans and achievements to praise, most of them are
It’s caused by the daily accumulation of people and things!”
"I really put my heart into my work and don't dare to slack off. Every time I have an idea, I try my best to do it well. But whether the thing can be successful in the end does not depend on whether I work hard alone, but also depends on the cooperation of various personnel, especially the master.
His trust and appointment are the greatest reliance for me to make continuous progress! If it weren’t for the Lord’s favor and blessings and many promotions, who would know who Li Boshan is?”
After Li Tai heard what Da Xingtai said, he quickly bowed his head and said respectfully.
Although they often had complimentary conversations with each other, Yu Wentai heard that Li Tai's tone this time was obviously serious, even heavy, and felt something in his heart, so he looked at Li Tai and said, "Does Boshan still have some thoughts in his heart?"
Have you heard anything yet? Do you still have any comments about some recent personnel arrangements?"
Obviously, although Yu Wentai has arranged for Li Mu to come and relieve Li Tai, he is also ready to find an opportunity to talk again to eliminate the grudge in Li Tai's heart.
After hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly shook his head and said: "The Lord's plans for the future are grand and well-thought-out. I dare to question it. But after hearing about the recent changes in the Liang Kingdom, I felt regretful that I was still short-sighted in trying to advance the Lord's plans. In fact,
It is possible to plan for a longer term! Although Hou Jing is fortunate to hold the power of the Liang Kingdom, his false destiny will never be able to unblock all parties. On the contrary, because his king lost his identity, the strong and brave men in his territory competed with each other..."
When Yu Wentai heard that what Li Tai said was not about him sending Zhao Gui, he felt relieved at first. Then he heard him mention the old story again, and what he said did not include the land of Handong, and even Hanzhong was included.
Time naturally made him feel passionate and excited: "If everything goes as Boshan said, then there is indeed great hope for the Han River!"
As the leader of a hegemonic power, nothing excites Yuwentai more than the grand plan of opening up territory. Especially the fall of Hanzhong was also a worry for Yuwentai. If it could be regained, everyone would be happy!
Li Tai first put forward an outline of the plan, and seeing that Yu Wentai was really interested in it, he then took advantage of the situation and talked about a more specific plan, including dividing the army into two groups with Yang Zhong, one to attack Hanzhong and the other to attack Handong.
"Did Yang Miyu have to plan this in advance?"
When Yuwentai heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, and he said calmly.
After hearing the words, Li Tai nodded, and then continued: "Yang Kaifu used to take the garrison from Gongjin, Hanoi, and look to the east of Hanoi. If the thieves from the east had not come from the south to cause trouble, they might have been able to take over two or three of its lands back then.
.Now that we are retracing our previous affairs, the Duke of Hanoi is far away in Heyang, Longbian, and communication is not smooth, so I send a letter to visit Yang Kai's Mansion. Yang Kai's Mansion is also happy to see the words, and tells me that if he can really get the order from his master to go on an expedition, he will definitely do it.
We also put on armor and follow each other, and we work together to accomplish this feat!"
"This plan is very big and far-reaching, so I don't dare to make a rash decision at the moment. Boshan, can you write down what was discussed today so that the people in Taiwan can discuss it together?"
After Yuwentai thought for a while, he spoke again.
Li Tai nodded after hearing this. He did not expect to be able to persuade Yu Wentai to support this plan with just a few words. What he wanted was to let important people in the current situation in Kansai know and discuss the decision, not
In the small circle, they rejected it directly. Yu Wentai said that he wanted the masses to discuss it, and he had already made a concession.
The discussion on this matter came to an end for the time being, and Yu Wentai looked at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Young hero, you are indeed enviable! Boshan, your talent and intelligence are not only far superior to those of your age, but even your predecessors are inferior.
.In the past years, when I was your age, I would not have dared to imagine such a huge strategy, but you were able to carry out complex tasks with ease, and take into account the changes in the general trend of the world!"
These words sounded like a simple lament that young people are terrible, and young people are better than others, but Li Tai couldn't help but a layer of sweat broke out on his back. Yes, people are different. When you were young, you were not as good as me, but now you have become
Head of the Bafu, it’s really worth thinking about what I can do when I reach your age...
"I have a weak talent and can be easily irritable, but I can get tolerance and encouragement from my master, so I am eager to express myself, but fortunately I am not offended. The emperor's former entrustment to the Thor Zhu family is not a tolerant master, and his hall is not a place where heroic ambitions can be expressed!"
"
After Yuwentai heard this answer, he just smiled and did not comment.
