Not to mention Li Tai, even Duan Shao of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who did not often move around the Huainan area, could clearly see this personnel hidden danger in Nanliang. Wang Sengbian, as a person in the game, must have been aware of it, but he also
What can be done?
Chen Baxian was not just a simple military leader who took advantage of the situation. Not only was he excellent in ability and grand in structure, but his subordinates had also been fully tempered in fighting the rebellion in Lingnan. These soldiers were willing to follow Chen Baxian and go north to quell Hou Jing's rebellion.
Their internal feelings and trust exceed that of most armed forces.
Even Emperor Xiao Yi couldn't do it, let alone Wang Sengbian, who wanted to remove Chen Baxian from military power with a written order.
Since the opponent's strength cannot be weakened, it is necessary to face up to the opponent's existence and give matching treatment. However, the generals of the Jiangling line under Wang Sengbian did not agree.
Today's Chen Baxian can indeed be regarded as the second-ranking figure in the Nanliang military. Wang Sengbian is in charge of Jiankang, and Chen Baxian is in charge of Jingkou. When Wang Sengbian leads his army out to fight, Chen Baxian guards Jiankang on his behalf. On the surface, it seems that they are very close to each other.
It's a tacit understanding of cooperation.
However, the reason why Jingkou can become an important town is that it either has strong and reliable control over the Sanwu Land, or it can echo with Guangling and other places to the north of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, Jingkou is just an isolated city on the south bank of the river.
After the Hou Jing Rebellion was put down, Wang Sengbian arranged for his confidants and Jiangling's direct descendant Jiangling to be located in the land of Sanwu. Although Chen Baxian was based in Jingkou and had a slight influence on Shaanxi, he only had one city in Jingkou.
Therefore, when the Northern Qi Dynasty frequently attacked and caused nuisance to the south, Chen Baxian also frequently sent troops to the north, hoping to recapture Guangling and other important towns in the north of the Yangtze River, so as to open up his own living space. If he could not expand outward, he would have to look inward.
Even if he knew that Chen Baxian was not trustworthy, Wang Sengbian did not have the courage to directly remove Chen Baxian's military power and disarm him, nor could he coordinate internally and transfer enough benefits to appease and tolerate Chen Baxian. It was only a matter of time before the two sides broke up.
.
If Wang Sengbian is a well-tamed horse, then Chen Baxian is a fierce horse that survives in the wilderness. The distance and endurance of the two are almost different, and sometimes Chen Baxian even gives people a rough and rough look.
However, in times of real crisis, the performance of the two will be completely different.
Facing the extreme pressure from Northern Qi, Wang Sengbian finally failed to bear it and chose to succumb, but Chen Baxian chose a completely opposite, more difficult and more glorious path. The difference between them may be
This resilience in character.
When it comes to Chen Baxian's difficulties in establishing the country, we have to mention Gaoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who did the most unreasonable things with the richest family fortune.
In the north, he chased and beat the barbarians, successfully clearing the way for the rise of the Turks, and led him to become the overlord of the grasslands. In the south, he continued to send troops to cause trouble, adding fuel to the small fire, and sent Chen Baxian to the big one in a wave.
When it was his turn, he had become addicted to the macho man who founded the country and was known as the heroic emperor, but he ended up dying.
Li Tai didn't want Wang Fan to die in Chen Baxian's sneak attack later, but he only touched on this matter. If he used too much force, he would be suspected of sowing discord. Now if he gives some advice, what will happen in the future?
Just wish yourself good luck.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Li Tai began to select the personnel to accompany Wang Fan to help in the battle.
This time, the battlefield between Nanliang and Northern Qi was near Dongguan, south of Hefei. It should be a water battle. Li Tai did not expect that the thousands of elite cavalry dispatched would be able to play a great role in assisting the battle and serve as scouts.
Just walk around the battlefield and observe.
This time he arranged for his nephew Li Zhen to lead the team. No matter how talented he is, his ability will always improve after being fully trained. In the short term, there are no water battles here in Jingzhou to hone, so he sent Wang Seng
It's a good place to watch and learn.
In addition to Li Zhen, he also arranged for Han Qinhu and some young generals whom he was more optimistic about to go with him. This was both a training and a test. As the forces advance to the front line of the Yangtze River, the water warfare mission of the Jingzhou General Manager's Office will inevitably be difficult in the future.
It will be too little.
As soon as he saw off Wang Sengmin and his party, Li Xian, Li Qianzhe's younger brother from Shannan, led another group of troops to escort the goods to Jingzhou.
"Why are there so many beautiful things?"
When he saw that the cargo list presented by Li Xian recorded that there were more than 20,000 pieces of Shu brocade alone, Li Tai couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "The land of Shu was not peaceful before, and trade was needed to promote personnel.
In order to cooperate with the emperor, we need to visit extensively to buy brocade goods. But now that Bashu is under the rule of the king, it is no longer appropriate to be greedy for material resources and reject favors."
In the past, the sale and purchase of Shu brocade had a special purpose, and the pursuit of interests was secondary. Now the matter of conquering Shu has been settled, and the situation that Li Tai hoped for has been achieved. He also hopes that this situation can continue to be maintained.
, don’t produce any more negative changes.
Seeing that Li Xian had brought so much Shu brocade at this time, Li Tai couldn't help but worry that Li Qianzhe still couldn't change his previous actions, and relied on his strong troops and horses to plunder Bashu.
After hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Master Lang's previous instructions, brothers and servants dare not forget them for a moment. My brother is in Badi. He will first use propaganda and care, and those who cannot change will use swords and soldiers later. As for the goods that were transported back here.
, not from the people of Bashu, but obtained from the transactions between the armies in Chengdu..."
After listening to Li Xian's explanation, Li Tai realized that he had misunderstood Li Qianzhe.
After Yu Wengui arrived in Chengdu, due to the previous plunder and destruction of the city, the city of Chengdu was in a depression and all industries were ruined. The army's supplies were already insufficient. With the arrival of the troops brought by Yu Wengui, the logistical pressure inevitably increased.
So while Yu Wengui was clearing out the resistance forces in the surrounding areas, he was also actively restoring the people's livelihood industry in the city. In order to obtain supplies, he also opened a military market in the suburbs east of Chengdu, encouraging soldiers and civilians to trade supplies and exchange valuables in the market.
none.
The garrison troops in Chengdu had a wealth of goods and supplies on hand, and for several days they ransacked almost the entire city. However, the looted goods could not be used for food and drink, so they were eager to use these supplies.
Convert into food supplies.
Li Qianzhe was stationed on the outskirts of Chengdu with the army at the time. Seeing that the military market was plentiful but lacking in rice ingredients, he ordered the local tycoons in Langzhong, Brazil, to transport rice supplies to Chengdu in exchange for a relatively small price.
A considerable amount of goods were obtained. The more than 20,000 pieces of Shu brocade and other goods transported to Rangcheng this time were part of the military market transaction.
Many people in later generations have a lot of complaints to vent when they talk about the military doing business. But in fact, as early as the Warring States Period, the military market has been an important way for the military to obtain supplies.
In today's Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nature of military affairs is extremely high, it is difficult to coordinate the overall coordination of material rationing, and there is no unified plan for the distribution of spoils. The role of the military market has become even more obvious.
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. He had previously ordered Li Qianzhe to go to Shuzhong for trade, and he still wanted to empty the Shu brocade in the storehouse in Shuzhong, so as to delay the Bafu's attack on Longyou's trade.
But it turns out that even if he mastered the rare and valuable frosting sugar, pure market behavior would be difficult to sell out Shu Brocade, an important strategic material in Shu. So in the end he basically gave up this idea and switched to
He hoped to have a hand in the attack on Chengdu, but he was so implicated by the brilliant minds of Brazil that he was unable to participate in the attack on Chengdu at all.
A plan that had been abandoned originally, but unexpectedly such a turn of events would happen again. Those Shu brocades that were robbed by the soldiers who conquered Shu can now be easily bought directly in the Chengdu Military Market.
Li Tai certainly doesn't want these Shu brocades to flow into Guanzhong in batches, but he also understands that once a large amount of money is bought, other variables will inevitably be added. For example, if the market fluctuates too violently, it will even have a bad impact on military morale.
After pondering for a while, he came up with a cross-regional delivery plan, that is, the soldiers would first provide the quantity of their belongings, conduct a market valuation, and then temporarily store the belongings in the military warehouse, and then send a letter to
His relatives in the pass would withdraw the corresponding money, and then their relatives would issue a token. Finally, Li Tai would send someone to receive the materials in the warehouse.
When soldiers are fighting abroad, their own safety cannot be guaranteed, and the trophies they obtain may be lost at any time. This method can directly send the trophies back to relatives at home, which undoubtedly greatly relieves worries and ensures the safety of property.
These soldiers can also go into battle lightly and are no longer timid.
For ordinary people, this matter is naturally not easy to operate. Firstly, can you win people's trust? Secondly, do you have enough money to receive the goods and pay for them? Thirdly, even if you have credit and money, there are so many ways to make money, who would dare?
Dealing with poor guys like the military?
It happened that Li Tai was satisfied with all three, so he soon wrote down his idea on paper and prepared to send it to Yu Wengui. Yu Wengui was responsible for calling on the soldiers to store the loot in the warehouse, and after counting and calculating the price, Yu Wengui
Li Tai organized his alliance personnel to pay the money in Guanzhong. Naturally, Li Tai was responsible for arranging for the materials in the warehouse to be sold in Longyou, and the profits generated from this were discussed and distributed with each other.
When Li Tai's letter was delivered, Yu Wengui immediately showed great interest, and even sent his confidants to Mianbei to discuss the details. Putting aside the interests involved, this matter was accomplished.
He attached great importance to improving the morale of his soldiers.
Not to mention that Yu Wengui also has a lot of people under his sect, so he certainly won’t mind the money. Naturally, he doesn’t have the strong financial resources and personnel foundation like Li Tai in Guanzhong, but he just earns a management fee in Shu, which is also
