This year, the Taiwanese government has no plans to go on patrol, and the newly opened areas such as Handong also need strong ministers to guard them. So after drinking the wedding wine of his second brother Li Chao, Li Tai was ready to return to Jingzhou to take charge.
However, before leaving, he still needs to have in-depth and detailed communication with the Taiwan government on the personnel issues of the Jingzhou General Manager's Office to ensure that a certain amount of trust and tacit understanding can be maintained between them.
Yu Wentai was also waiting for Li Tai in the Taifu early in the morning, and postponed all other matters for the time being, specifically discussing Jingzhou personnel matters with Li Tai. Several senior officers in the Taifu also participated, which shows that the Taifu attaches great importance to the situation in the southeast.
.
After Li Tai arrived at Taifu, they did not exchange much greetings with each other. Yu Wentai took the lead in taking out a letter from Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling in Nanliang, to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, and then said with a smile: "The Liang clan has come to surrender."
It's always a joy, but Boshan has the deepest understanding of the situation in the southeast. According to your opinion, is it necessary for the court to accept his surrender?"
Li Tai took the letter of surrender with both hands and then read it carefully. He knew about this because the letter of surrender was submitted through the Jingzhou General Manager's Office. In addition to the Jingzhou General Manager's Office, the Taifu in the southeast also
There is no other way to contact Nanliang Personnel.
However, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Tai did not open the letter privately and read it in advance, so today was the first time he saw the contents of the letter.
Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling, was the sixth son of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, and he was also a bastard. In the early days of Hou Jing's rebellion, he was originally the chief general appointed by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty to fight against the rebellion, and he commanded various civilians including Liu Zhongli's Ministry.
However, because he refused to patrol and delayed the opportunity to fight, Hou Jing directly led his troops across the river and surrounded Taicheng, and then a series of incredible farces occurred.
The reason why Hou Jing was able to grow big in the south of the Yangtze River was closely related to the incompetence and indulgence of Shaoling King Xiao Lun.
After Hou Jing conquered Taicheng and entered the Second Palace, all the Qinwang troops retreated, and Xiao Lun, a living treasure, also fled to Yu Cave in Kuaiji. However, as Hou Jing's offensive in the Sanwu area intensified, Kuaiji also changed.
No longer safe, Xiao Lun continued to flee and entered Yingzhou in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River where Hou Jing's offensive had not yet reached.
Xiao Lun's letter of surrender was sent from Yingzhou. In the letter, he first denounced King Xiangdong for ignoring the dangers of Jiankang, instead tyrannizing in Jiangling, and killing the descendants of the Nanliang clan.
He also expressed a negative attitude towards Liang Wang Xiao Jin's behavior of accepting the title of the Western Wei Dynasty without authorization and inviting the Wei army to attack his uncle.
In short, in the first half of this letter, every line of the letter reveals the disparagement of Xiao Yi and Xiao Jin, the uncle and nephew, and repeatedly stated that they were not qualified to interact with the Western Wei Dynasty alone.
Next, Xiao Lun changed the topic again, saying that except for the puppet emperor Xiao Gang who was supported by Hou Jing in Jiankang City, he was already the eldest member of the Nanliang clan, so even if he wanted to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty
, it must be him, the big brother, who does it!
At present, the Western Wei Dynasty still has to win over Xiao Qing, the king of Liang, and hold peace talks with Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan, which is too troublesome. In fact, as long as Xiao Lun surrenders, Xiao Lun will be responsible for handling these two guys.
The conditions proposed by Xiao Lun were also very simple. He just wanted to temporarily borrow the Handong land previously occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty as a base camp to counterattack Jiankang and put down Hou Jing's rebellion. He also hoped that Li Tai, as the general manager of Jingzhou, could personally lead his troops to assist.
His people carried out counter-rebellion.
In this way, after Hou Jing's rebellion is put down, all the land north of Jiangling can be ceded to the Western Wei Dynasty, including Shouyang, Hefei and other places that Li Tai once occupied but gave up.
After Li Tai read the letter of surrender, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said unceremoniously: "The Liang family has many villains, and King Shaoling is the leader among them. He failed because of his lack of success.
Even though he has plenty of things to do, he still has a lot of arrogance even though he has no power, which shows that he is definitely not focused on pragmatism."
After hearing the words, Sun Jian, the eldest son next to him, also nodded and said: "Reading books and knowing people, this Prince Shaoling is indeed absurd. Even if he works with him, he may not be able to achieve anything. But whether the Liang family succeeds or not is not within the plans of the Tai government.
, if this person can be introduced to fight with his clan members between Jiang and Han, it will be beneficial and harmless to the further plot to control Jiang and Han."
Hearing what Chang Sunjian said, other members of the Taifu government also expressed their agreement one after another, and even Daxingtai showed approval.
There had been some discussion about this in the Taifu government before. Although King Shaoling seemed a bit out of tune, if the starting point was to further disrupt the situation between Jiang and Han, then it would not be a bad idea to accept his surrender.
.
As a result, the three Xiaoliang clans in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River were all under the control of the Western Wei Bafu to varying degrees, and the room for maneuver was undoubtedly greatly increased. When they fought with each other, causing both sides to lose and lose the support of the people, the Bafu would step in to clean up the mess.
Then you can capture the land of Jianghan in one fell swoop.
"It is indeed necessary for the Taiwanese government to accept Xiao Lun's surrender. But as for providing various assistance, it is not necessary. Especially lending Han Dong a temporary residence is completely unnecessary. It is best to give him strict orders.
You are not allowed to cross the border, and if you violate it, you will be treated as an enemy and severely attacked!"
Seeing that the development of the southeast is going smoothly, the people in Taiwan are starting to have some wild ideas, and Li Tai can understand this. But if they don't cherish what they get because it is too simple, they may even have to do it without clear plans and ideas.
Using the results of previous battles as a cost is something Li Tai absolutely cannot agree to.
Historically, Xiao Lun also fled to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but due to difficulties in gaining a foothold, he surrendered to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi. He accepted the canonization of the Northern Qi and became the King of Liang. He also colluded with the Northern Qi in an attempt to get involved in Handong, which had been occupied by the Western Wei. As a result, he was suppressed by all parties.
After a lot of fussing, he achieved nothing, and was eventually defeated and killed by Yang Zhong, ending his ridiculous life.
In the current time and space, probably because of Li Tai's previous defeat of Murong Shaozong in Huainan, Xiao Lun felt that the Western Wei Dynasty could invest more power in the Jianghan area than the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In addition, the top leadership of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was turbulent, so
He chose to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty. But he seemed to feel too good about himself. Not only did he want to borrow a place to live in, he even wanted Li Tai to help him and cooperate. It was really inexplicable!
Although Xiao Lun's personal ability was so-so and almost non-existent, his ability to bring disaster to the country and the people should not be underestimated. Li Tai could not imagine how much of a containment effect it would have on Jiangling or other parties if he temporarily lent Handong to him.
It is said that the harm to the people's livelihood in the eastern part of Han Dynasty will be terrible.
Now it is not difficult for him to manage the Handong region, so he naturally does not need to make any so-called strategic abandonment. And if Xiao Lun really has any substantive plans for the Handong region, he will never take into account the Taiwan government's role in it.
What kind of plans are entrusted to people, just fight back and kill them without any discussion!
The people in the Taiwanese government have discussed this matter many times, including Chang Sunjian, the former Jingzhou governor, who joined in to make a careful assessment. However, with Li Tai's stance on the matter, various ideas and discussions among them
The discussion has turned into nonsense.
Therefore, after Li Tai finished expressing his opinions, the people present at the Tai Mansion looked a little uncomfortable. Some people wanted to argue with their arguments, but seeing that Da Xing Tai was no longer willing to discuss this further, they had no choice but to
Closed his mouth.
"Since Boshan feels that Prince Shaoling is difficult to rely on, then this person is really lacking in skills and tactics. There is no point in placing more hopes."
After Yu Wentai heard this, he stopped engaging in further entanglements and discussions, and continued to ask: "So what Yibo Mountain has seen, and on the premise of fully consolidating what we have gained so far, we need to make further progress.
When can you think of getting involved in Jiangling?"
It is the instinct of every powerful person in troubled times to achieve Longwangshu. Although Yuwentai was overjoyed with last year's series of achievements, he could not even imagine such an amazing breakthrough before.
But now it seems that he has quickly accepted this fact, and has developed greater ambitions from this, and has set his sights on Jiangling.
The reason why he accepted and supported Xiao Lun to disrupt the situation between Jiang and Han before was because he listened to Chang Sun Jian and others explain that Jiangling is still very powerful, and there are many elite soldiers and generals under the command of the King of Eastern Hunan. It is extremely difficult to conquer by force alone, and it still needs to be conquered through force.
Weaken it by other means.
It doesn't matter if Li Tai vetoes this idea, but the key is to find other ideas and methods to achieve the same effect. If not, then you still have to go back and re-examine the previously rejected plan.
"The current situation is not limited to one place. All parties must be gathered together to make a comprehensive judgment. When Jiangling can be taken, it depends not only on us, but also on the enemy. Today, Hou Jing is entrenched outside the river and attacks from all sides, and Jiangling seems to be
It is already the largest town in the upper reaches, but it is the only one that still has the power to compete. If I attack it urgently, the victory or defeat is not yet certain, but it will actually relieve Hou Jing's difficulties."
Li Tai naturally had his own understanding of the situation in Nanliang, and now he said seriously: "The reason why we are not in a hurry to attack Jiangling now is not because of its strength, but to use this nest in eastern Hunan to gather the southern kingdoms."
Characters and talents. Hou Jingjie was cruel and cruel, so it would be difficult for him to recruit Nanliang personnel under his sect for a long time. Although Xiangdong was not talented, he was still the master of a large town in the upper reaches. The poor and deceased would inevitably rush to Jiangling to seek refuge.
If the rebellion is quelled in the coming year, Jiangling will be the capital of the ZTE. However, the founding of the Southern Dynasties and the establishment of Jiankang has been a long time ago. If Xiangdong wants to rule the country through heirs, it is natural to move the town to Jiankang. However, it will be difficult for the leader of the lower level to sway the masses. By then
We must be careless about the beginning and the end, and it is difficult to control both the east and the west. If we attack Jiangling with a large army, we will not only gain this beautiful place, but also the essence of Nanliang's human resources will be under our control!"
Yu Wentai was originally very eager to plot Jiangling, but when he heard the prospects and possibilities described by Li Tai, his eyes could not help but shine, he was deeply excited, and he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Boshan is serious
The plan is profound and far beyond the reach of ordinary people! If it turns out to be as expected, then the Southern Kingdom’s hundred years of accumulation of personnel can be achieved in one battle, which will be enough to shape the world!”
When other members of the Taiwanese government heard Li Tai's description, they couldn't help but be shocked. They really didn't expect that things would have such a direction and possibility. But it has to be said that once this situation becomes a reality, then
The benefits brought by the war will indeed be more substantial.
"But how can Duke Taiyuan ensure that things develop as expected? What's more, if Jiangling can really put down this chaos, the King of Xiangdong will be popular and powerful. If he plots again at that time, it will be even more difficult!"
It was Chang Sunjian who raised his doubts again. Regarding Li Tai and the entire situation in the southeast, he actually had a rather ambivalent mentality. On the one hand, he was happy about the achievements in the southeast and admired Li Tai's meritorious deeds.
On the one hand, he is like a jealous ex-husband.
When Jingzhou was under his rule, he seemed like an old and unattractive yellow-faced woman. But when Li Tai took charge, he suddenly became radiant again.
It got to the point where whenever Changsun Jian heard news from Jingzhou, he felt helpless and regretful.
Li Tai did not make boring arguments with Changsun Jian. After hearing the questioning, he smiled again and said: "Everything will never go as expected. When things come to pass, you can always be prepared and do your best, so as not to miss the opportunity.
It can be said that he has no regrets in his heart. Whether it will finally come true depends on God's will. As for the King of Xiangdong's success in the future because of the chaos, this is also expected. The more difficult it is, the more he will gain. Even though I can't say it boldly.
To win, there will be no shortage of talented and capable people in the country, and the whole country will fight, vowing to defeat it!"
Changsun Jian's question was meant to make things difficult. After hearing Li Tai's answer, he was too embarrassed to bother with it anymore and nodded thoughtfully to express his approval of Li Tai's answer.
After Yu Wentai heard this, he spoke again: "In this way, the Southeast side does not need to invest more personnel in seeking new achievements for the time being. It can stabilize the current situation and wait for the opportunity. This is a prudent plan.
The East Bandits had a new disaster last year, but we don’t know what changes will happen this year. The country also needs to retain enough personnel to cope with the changes. If any changes really happen, we may have to mobilize forces from Jingzhou to help.
Tell him about it beforehand, Boshan will remember it and don’t forget it.”
When he said this, Yu Wentai smiled again. At the moment, he felt as if the table was full of delicacies and he didn't know where to start.
The development of the situation in the past two years has made him feel that his destiny is in me. Gao Huan broke his jade jade and died. Heaven took away the biggest opponent in his life for him. Then Hou Jing's rebellion triggered a series of changes.
Although Yu Wentai's attempt to get involved in Heluo and Henan failed, he did not expect that the southeast would usher in great development.
Just when he was regretting that Hou Jing's Rebellion failed to bring as much damage to the Eastern Wei Dynasty as the Southern Liang Dynasty, Gao Cheng, an outstanding heir of the Gao family, was stabbed to death again. If God had not helped him succeed, why would there have been so many disasters?
Are they the only ones with the best scenery in the west?
Hello everyone, I haven't gone home yet. I have been checking out the code in the hotel these days. I was exhausted after visiting the Longmen Grottoes yesterday. I will update a chapter today... I wish you all a happy life!
