In the late first month of the first month, Li Tai returned to the town of Jingzhou. At this time, most of the government officials and the soldiers and civilians in the city did not know that General Li had already gone to war, but was defeated in Huainan.
After returning to the General Manager's Office, Li Tai first reviewed the accumulated government affairs, and then asked how the Jiangling delegation's travel arrangements in Jingzhou were going. When he learned that these people had recently been observing and studying his calligraphy at the Jingzhou Mansion School
While writing the work, Li Tai couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face: "These Jiangling people are quite knowledgeable and have some appreciation."
When he came to the cultural desert of the Western Wei Dynasty, he often felt out of tune with the people around him because he was too good. Because there were no people with enough education to sing, many of the poems he planned to copy would have been quickly forgotten. If it weren't for these Jiangling people
When he discovered and appreciated it, he almost forgot that he was also a master of calligraphy.
However, he was also a little curious. He had been in direct contact with Jiangling as early as the year before last, and inevitably wrote a book in his own hand and sent it to Jiangling. Logically speaking, the fact that he had good calligraphy skills should have been spread in Jiangling. How come these Jiangling people
People are still making such a fuss, as if they just learned about it?
Could it be that because Xiao Laoqi saw his calligraphy skills so superbly that he felt ashamed and simply hid his autographed letters sent to Jiangling from others?
Considering Xiao Laoqi's consistent urination, this is not impossible. Fortunately, he was hanging around in the Western Wei Dynasty. If he went to Jiangling, it would be very difficult to meet such a surly boss.
It is natural to be happy that his calligraphy works are praised by others, but Li Tai enthusiastically retained these Jiangling people and provided them with accommodation, food and drink at public funds, not only to make them flatter him, but also to show the beauty of Mianbei in all aspects.
charm, and increase their respective recognition of the local customs.
So Li Taidang decided to personally arrange the subsequent activities of these people and ordered the government officials to arrange the venue as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Wang Fan, who was a close confidant in the general's tent, came to Hongbin Tower with a warrant and invited these Jiangling people to go to the General Manager's Mansion to meet General Li and go to the venue today for activities.
"General Li finally took the time to meet you?"
After receiving the notice from Wang Ban, everyone in Jiangling was overjoyed. The more they watched and appreciated General Li's calligraphy works during this period, the more surprised and admired they became. They even wanted to ask General Li personally for advice on his techniques and meaning.
The trick.
However, every time they made such a request, they were always declined by the general manager's staff, saying that General Li was busy with official duties and had no time to meet the masses.
Some people also recognized Wang Ban's identity. Although he did not become an official in Jiangling, his father, Wang Sengbian, was an old man in the palace of Eastern Hunan, so there were many people who knew him in Jiangling.
"When did Wang Lang come to Mianbei? You have actually served under General Li?"
Someone came up to talk to Wang Fan. When they learned that he was serving as a confidant in General Li's tent, they were all surprised. They couldn't help but ask about his treatment and experiences since he joined Mianbei.
Being able to see so many people from Jiangling in Mianbei, Wang Fan also felt the joy of meeting old friends in a foreign land. He tried his best to answer the questions raised by everyone as long as they did not involve the military and political secrets of the General Manager's Office. Of course, with his current status
Because of his position, he has no access to any real military secrets.
Through Wang Fan's narration, everyone in Jiangling learned that during the time when they were obsessed with calligraphy, General Li, who had been avoiding them, had gone to Huainan to defeat a Northern Qi army and force back an enemy army!
"General Li is truly a great talent in the world. No wonder the king and his army have to offer their sons to serve as his subordinates! Such a brave and majestic master of the palace is truly a blessing to the officials and people under his rule!"
The culture of the Southern Dynasties did not particularly value martial arts, but with Hou Jing's rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, they witnessed the harm caused by military disasters to the world, and they all hoped for a wise and courageous leader who could quell the rebellion and restore peace to the world, so when they heard
When General Li was far away from the enemy's territory, these people all made a sound of admiration and envy.
Although the leader of the Jing Mansion in the south, King Xiangdong, is also a young and powerful leader with rich military and political experience and methods, and is highly praised by people in the world as the hope of quelling the rebellion and continuing the rise and fall, but with this majestic and outstanding Northern leader,
Compared with the leaders of the Jing Mansion, even in the minds of Jiangling people like them, they felt that the King of Eastern Hunan was less elegant.
Of course, such thoughts are only whispered in each person's heart, and they never dare to express them openly, so as not to cause trouble or even death.
When a group of people from Jiangling arrived at the Governor's Mansion led by Wang Fan, Li Tai's guards were already ready to go, and prepared horses, carriages and other means of transportation for their guests.
Li Tai was also dressed in military uniform and walked out of the main hall of the Governor's Mansion. His handsome and strong figure was bathed in the morning sun and seemed to be shining.
After not seeing each other for many days, everyone in Jiangling was immersed in observing and appreciating his calligraphy. They could not help but think about his style based on his words. They felt that the person and his words complemented each other and complemented each other. Now when they admire General Li's style in person, they can only feel that in their minds
The imagination I had before the movie still pales in comparison to the real person.
"The general is brave and handsome, like a god!"
Some young people in the envoy team couldn't help but admire him, probably because after observing calligraphy for the past few days, he felt psychologically close to this general from another country who was both civil and military and had unparalleled grace, so he couldn't help but want to express his admiration.
Li Tai laughed when he heard the admiration, pointed at the young man who praised him and responded: "Mr. Lang is also very discerning, magnanimous and innocent, without losing his innocence!"
Everyone present laughed when they heard this. They felt that although General Li held a high position and was powerful to his neighbors, he still had a youthful and lively personality. He was also elegant and funny in daily interactions, making people happy and close to him.
.
Now that all the people had arrived, Li Tai immediately gave the order to set off. He also got on a horse, and everyone in Jiangling chose to board the carriage and go.
Although this is also related to the differences in customs and objective conditions between the north and the south, it also shows that the southerners are really not good at riding and shooting. The sons of generals like Wang Huan only systematically practiced under the guidance of the robes after they came under his command.
practice riding skills.
A large group of people left Jingzhou City in a mighty manner, and after traveling a few miles, they arrived at Caogou Military Camp in the south of the city.
This military camp was where Li Tai invited Wang Gu to watch the military parade before his expedition last year. Now all the soldiers who went out to the camp are still stationed there. In addition, there are also prisoners of war captured from Heluo, and they are all now housed in this military camp.
.
Li Tai came to the military camp today to preside over the reorganization and resettlement of prisoners of war. He invited the Jiangling people to come with him to let them understand a series of procedures for the reorganization and resettlement of prisoners of war by the Jingzhou General Administration. This experience may not be enough
It makes people happy, but it also has its own use in the future.
The military camp has already received a notice from the General Manager's Office, and the venue has been arranged early in the morning. In addition to the martial arts school showing the skills of bow and horse fighting, all the general officials of the General Manager's Office and some private workshop owners also came here.
"Are these all prisoners of the Eastern Wei and Qi armies?"
When everyone in Jiangling was informed of today's activities, someone pointed at the large camp in front of them and the soldiers walking between the camps and asked.
Wang Huan explained on the side: "The troops in the camp have their own flags of various colors, and those with plain flags hanging at the gates are the prisoner of war camps. It is not all what you expected. Although the general captured and killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers during this expedition,
Only about 10,000 enemy soldiers were actually led back to the town."
"One, more than 10,000 people? Then, will the remaining enemy troops be killed in the formation?"
After hearing the few figures that Wang Fan casually mentioned, all the people in Jiangling couldn't help but stare and ask in surprise.
These discussions in the team reached the ears of Li Tai in front, and he turned around and said with a smile: "Soldiers are very dangerous, and stopping the fight is the best. Since ancient times, only those who are cautious in using soldiers can be called famous generals. Use force to stop the fight.
Governance is also the long-cherished wish of sages and generals from ancient times.
Although I am not talented, I still adhere to this ancient custom. Whenever there is a battle, I give orders. I abandon my weapons and do not kill, but only punish the stubborn thieves. God has the virtue of loving life, but I can't bear those who have the desire to survive and live by the Tao.
Harm.
It’s just that sometimes the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, the enemy force is surging, and killing can only be contained, so it is inevitable to kill to deepen the karma. Killing is easy, but living is difficult, so for these prisoners of war who survived on the battlefield, I hope they can understand the power of God.
Virtue, change evil and follow the path, and live up to God's grace."
"What General Li said is really both benevolent and courageous. It is deeply touching! Unfortunately, not everyone in charge of the army is as benevolent, brave and caring as General Li. There are many vicious and murderous people in the world. They think they can rely on
His ferocity frightens the world, and even if he is cruel for a moment, he will inevitably be punished by both nature and man!"
After hearing Li Tai's words, Na Zong couldn't help but sigh, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Each of them couldn't help but think of the current domestic situation. Even if Hou Jing's rebel army was really unstoppable and the King of Xiangdong failed to stop the rebel army from advancing westward and allowed the bandits to enter the Jing Mansion, Mianbei would be an ideal place for them.
