Dugu Xin actually didn't think too deeply about this matter. He had the idea of supporting Yu Wenyu slightly, but to connect it with the conquest of Shu was to listen to Li Tai's explanation of the conquest of Shu.
An idea that came later.
Seeing Li Tai's reaction at this time seemed a bit big, and Dugu Xin suddenly became unconfident: "Is this difficult?"
After hearing this, Li Tai opened his mouth, but no sound came out, just a wry smile. He really didn't know where to start. Is this a difficult question? I understand the unwillingness of you old comrades to be lonely, but you can't ignore the facts.
How whimsical!
Why do you think our national strength is so strong that even a pig as commander-in-chief can win the war against Shu? The Nanliang Empire collapsed so quickly, and most of the reasons are due to the filial sons and grandsons of the Xiao family!
Of course, Yu Wenyu is not a pig, and he doesn't look as miserable as the Xiao family's litter. But when it comes to leading the army in battle, he is just a blank piece of paper. Even if he is only a nominal coach, other generals will be sent as
The deputy has full power to exercise the power of expropriation, but what is the significance of this arrangement?
It should be noted that it is still the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yuwentai's own authority still needs to be strengthened, so he is rushing to use such a large-scale military operation to give his son qualifications? Success may not be a good thing. Once it fails, the emperor will look for trouble with his posture, and he will
Let Yuwentai fool him casually?
Such a personnel appointment is too risky but has little reward. Not to mention that Yu Wenyu is just a concubine, even if he is a legitimate son, Yu Wentai cannot agree to it. Now, he has not yet reached the time to admit defeat and promote his son to the throne.
, not to mention that there is an unstable factor like Duguxin behind Yu Wenyu.
Regardless of Yu Wentai's attitude, as far as Li Tai himself was concerned, he did not want to see Yu Wenyu or other Yu Wentai's sons take charge of the army and make meritorious deeds.
If Yu Wenyu really succeeds in uniting the army to conquer Shu, he will become Li Tai's replacement, making Li Tai's position as the general manager of Jingzhou no longer so irreplaceable. After all, nephew and son are closely related in terms of ethics.
That said, there is a fundamental difference.
Yuchi succeeded in conquering Shu. This achievement can be said to be another helping hand for the clan, but it does not break away from the category of ministers. But if his son has this merit, he must spare no effort to cultivate it. Anyone who interferes will be destroyed.
degree.
Li Tai didn't think his father-in-law meant to cultivate Yu Wenyu to replace him when he made this suggestion. He probably wanted to continue the struggle with Yu Wentai to the next generation because he was unwilling to be lonely.
Because if Yu Wenyu really reveals the temperament of a heroic master and can make Yu Wentai waver in his choice of concubine, then the most important thing to do is to get rid of Dugu Xin, an annoying in-law.
In short, if Yu Wenyu suddenly emerges and performs too well, neither Duguxin nor Li Tai will be too comfortable.
Seeing that Li Tai was just silent, Dugu Xin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He looked at Li Tai and said softly: "Is what I thought too rash? It's okay for you to say it, Boshan."
Of course, Li Tai pointed at Dugu Xin's nose and said, "Don't mess around. You still have to give basic face." After thinking for a while, he said: "Soldiers are very fierce and cannot be easily controlled. Ningdu Gong is inherently
Extraordinary birth does not require death to gain merit. Even if you want to cultivate and hone, you should proceed step by step. If you rush into a difficult and dangerous situation, you may be panicked and tiring! What's more, if you are a disciple of Daxingtai,
This is the only son who has grown up, and I hope Ningdu Gong can gain more steady experience and progress."
Although he didn't speak too directly, his answer also meant that Dugu Xin's idea was indeed a bit immature.
Among Yuwentai's disciples, Yu Wenyu was the eldest. He was born when Yuwentai was serving as the governor of Xiazhou, and he is now nineteen years old. The second son Yuwen Zhen was also born soon after, and the year before last, the emperor Yuan Baoju had not yet passed away.
At that time, he married the daughter of Yuan Baoju and became the consort of the Western Wei Dynasty, but he died early that year.
Further down is the legitimate son Yuwenjue, who is only in his early ten years and has been granted the title of Duke of Lueyang, but is obviously still far away from being appointed an official. The sons after him are even younger, such as Yuwenyong and Yuwenxian.
He was still a few years old, and he had just been picked up from Li Xian's home in Wonzhou not long ago.
"I was too hasty!"
When Dugu Xin heard what Li Tai said, his old face turned red, and then he smiled sheepishly, then sighed: "Well, I saw you, Boshan, being independent as a young man and making many meritorious deeds, so I felt that this is what a man with ambition should be like.
The expectations of others have also increased. The ridiculous plan made the young people laugh!"
After hearing this, Li Tai felt a little proud. How many people in the world are like him who forget to close things all day long?
"How could it be? My father-in-law cares about Shao Jin and hopes that all his disciples will become talented. Without my support and encouragement, I would not be as successful as I am today."
After hearing this, Dugu Xin's expression softened slightly, and then he sighed again: "Boshan, you are different from Yu Zi. You have your own thoughts and plans, and you can be sure of your future even if there is no one to help you."
Yes, I will never hesitate. But Ningdu Gong does not have the talent like you. Without the guidance of a wise man, I am afraid that he will not know what to do and what to stop like you."
Hearing that Dugu Xin still had not given up on similar plans, Li Tailuo pondered for a while and then said: "As my father-in-law said, I also take advantage of the opportunity to make achievements. If the opportunity is not available, doing it reluctantly will only achieve half the result with twice the result, or even work in vain."
achievement."
Duguxin couldn't help but nod when he heard this. He was so touched by this.
"Although I don't know exactly what Duke Ning Du is capable of, I see that he has an elegant character and treats others with sincerity. Even though he may not be able to do difficult tasks for the time being, he must remain quiet and harmonious, and he should be worthy of the Xuanzhi side."
Li Tai thought about it for a while, and then he thought of a suitable place for Yu Wenyu to arrange: "I have been in the southeast for a long time, and I don't know much about the changes in Guanzhong's personnel. But every time I think of the various deeds when I served in Luoshui, I still remember it fresh.
.Beizhou is open and has a lot of potential. Especially where Beihuazhou is located, there is fertile soil below that can be cultivated and cultivated, and there are mountains and fields above that need to be repaired and trained. If Ningdu Gong is allowed to do this, he will not lose the temper of his affairs, even if there are some oversights.
, you can also get timely inspection and correction.”
Although he has been in the southeast for a long time now, he has not forgotten the personnel arrangements in northern Shaanxi. Because he is not personally in charge, the original three-defense city system has long been dispersed to the states and counties.
At present, the places where he can exert profound influence are Jihu Shifo Temple on the east bank of Luoshui River, Xihe County in the Kuli River Basin, and Suizhou in Shuofang.
Li Tai understands his father-in-law's thoughts. Rather than wanting to support his second son-in-law Yu Wenyu, Li Tai is still unwilling to be lonely and hopes to use Yu Wenyu's special status to manipulate some personnel so as to continue to maintain his sense of presence in the current situation.
and influence.
This kind of thinking cannot be said to be looking for trouble. It should be regarded as a common problem of people who were once at the top. Although Li Tai is doing a good job now and can fully represent the demands and interests of Duguxin and his colleagues, after all, he is just
A son-in-law can't use his power as well as a son can do it himself!
Li Tai didn't know the specific situation in history, but it was obvious that Dugu Xin was by no means a fool. After being ignored, there would inevitably be some troubles. If it was really completely harmless to humans and animals, Yu Wentai would not let Li Yuan draw a knife to kill him.
Fuck him.
In such a situation, it is impossible to persuade, and the more you persuade, the more you will get angry. Li Tai cannot stay in Guanzhong for a long time, he can only make the best of the situation and guide him in a favorable direction.
Although Yu Wentai has not yet reached the stage of supporting his son to rise to power, he will certainly not refuse a better opportunity for experience. Beihua Prefecture is located in the north of Hua Prefecture. As Li Tai said, there are opportunities for experience and performance in both military and political affairs.
places, but they are not of independent importance.
If Yu Wenyu is appointed as the governor of Beihua Prefecture, Yu Wentai can take advantage of this to absorb the personnel of the three defense cities left over by Li Tai, including some of Dugu Xin's old troops, etc. Places such as Xihe County, etc.
They can all use Yu Wenyu's help to gradually weaken their independence and bring them under the control of the Bafu.
As for Li Tai, he can also use Yu Wenyu, his brother-in-law, to effortlessly send some personnel into the core of Ba Mansion. The aura of Yu Wenyu that these people are infected with can, to a certain extent,
By covering up the imprint of Li Tai, he can gain a foothold in the Bafu. Even if it doesn't play a big role during the Yuwentai period, it will surely surprise people as time goes by.
Dugu Xin was not as far-term as Li Tai imagined. After hearing the words, he also began to think deeply. After a while, he slightly nodded and said: "Boshan's plan is indeed much safer than what I said before. I know you are busy with your work, so I don't think so."
If I continue to cause trouble to you in this regard, if Mr. Ningdu is able to hold this position in the future, let him write to you again to thank you."
After saying this, Dugu Xin lowered his head again and made careful calculations, and soon smiled with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with Li Tai's proposal.
After a while, he couldn't help but said: "Hua Shanggong visited me a few days ago and told me that it has become a common practice for the generals to pastor their hometowns. According to this practice, Wei Xiaokuan should also be the pastor of Yongzhou. If this is the case,
If everything is done, then the personnel situation in Guanzhong will be transformed. But no matter how the personnel changes here, don't worry, Boshan, it will not affect the situation in the southeast."
After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that the Western Wei Dynasty was really a temple demon, and neither of them was a fuel-efficient lamp. The people in Guanzhong were dismissed from the decision-making level of the Bafu one after another. It seemed that they planned to recommend Wei Xiaokuan as the governor of Yongzhou.
To protect the local interests of these Guanzhong natives. After all, counting the entire Western Wei Dynasty, Wei Xiaokuan is the only one among the Guanzhong people.
