After hearing Li Tai's decision, the other subordinates in the General Manager's Office didn't say much. Instead, they all looked expectantly, just waiting for the general to issue specific tasks to them.
But Changsun Jian frowned after hearing this, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke again: "Since the general has made this decision, I dare not question it because of my humble position. I just ask the general to report it. Foreign enemies must be attacked, and internal worries must also be dealt with."
Observe. The Jing Mansion has made many achievements, and is admired by many people in the country. In recent years, the general has been at the top of the list in terms of merit, and there are many commentators who secretly argue that he is very proud.
The Eastern Bandits have been harassing the world for a long time, and even King Yuwen needs to take a break and recharge his batteries. His army is by no means a weak force, and the leader of the bandits is an impetuous person. If they fight rashly, it may not be possible in a short time.
The victory can be decided quickly. By then, all the soldiers of our Jing Mansion will be exhausted by the bandit army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make any other plans. The Liang Kingdom will destroy itself, and it will be difficult to survive. Once our army is trapped in Huainan, I am afraid that the Chinese and Foreign Governments will send another one..."
"Wantless! I have made up my mind, who dares to remonstrate again? Although the East Thief is strong, he is not my enemy, and it is easy to defeat him. The past has been proven many times, and the long history should not be alarmist, but within the scope of the punishment, there is nothing else to ask!"
After hearing Changsun Jian's words of advice, Li Tai's face suddenly sank, and he slapped the case and shouted angrily: "What's more, King Yuwen, who has returned to the country this time, has already told me to decide on matters in the southeast, including whether to conquer the southern country.
.It’s not too late for me to defeat the Eastern bandits and return to Liang Kingdom!”
Seeing that Li Tai was still stubborn, Changsun Jian could only keep his mouth shut. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although General Li seemed to be polite and willing to accept advice on a daily basis, when he was really facing major decisions, he couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes, he still inevitably reveals his headstrong and arrogant side and does not tolerate other opinions.
But it's no wonder that he has achieved such achievements at such an age. Others would be even more arrogant. Changsun Jian also knew that in the eyes of General Li, he was still the eyes and ears inserted by the Chinese and Foreign Governments. Once he planned a major event
He will definitely have reservations and refuse to fully believe it. Although his advice is not out of selfishness, it is still difficult to gain trust.
However, Changsun Jian didn't know that although Li Tai was furious on the surface, he had actually changed his mind slightly.
His words can be considered from the perspective of the General Manager's Office. Whether he really loves the General Manager's Office, or he is worried that the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office will send another person to attack Liang, which may also take away his authority as the Chief of the Military Office. At least this
The attitude is still worthy of entreaty, and one can distinguish between closeness and distance between inside and outside.
In fact, when the reputation and status of courtiers reach a certain level, it becomes difficult for the superiors to control them. This is because what supports them in maintaining this status is their own power and merits, not those from the superiors.
favor.
For example, some of the plots and logic in "The Ming Dynasty", which was hailed as the top strategy in later generations, cannot be explained in this medieval society.
Because the political logic of the two is completely different, not to mention the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, even during the unification period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the atmosphere of officials was very different from that of later generations of professional bureaucrats who were already extremely docile. Especially now.
, you want to go through the trouble with me, then I will go through the trouble and save you, saving you more than ten years of detours!
To a certain extent, Changsun Jian is indeed Yuwentai's confidant, and Yuwentai sent him here with the intention of balancing and dividing the Jingzhou Governor's Office. But apart from his status as Yuwentai's confidant, Changsunjian is of course
He also has his own political pursuits and is not willing to just be a lucky person.
At this point, the mentality of Li Tai and Chang Sun Jian actually have something in common. He is also unwilling to just be Yu Wentai's little baby, but his pursuit is bigger than Chang Sun Jian's.
When facing the important event of conquering Nanliang, Changsun Jian's attitude was naturally in line with the interests of the general administration, and he told Li Taizhong without any secret that there were people waiting for you to make mistakes so that they could replace you.
After all, in the Jingzhou Military Mansion, Li Tai is the boss and Changsun Jian is the second child. This is a established relationship. In addition, whoever is sent by the Chinese and Foreign Governments will add some variables to the already determined personnel. And this variable is very important to the eldest grandson.
Being thrifty is a bad thing, unless he is promoted to the main general in the Liang Dynasty, which of course is impossible.
The question raised by Chang Sun Jian is indeed very pertinent. Regardless of Li Tai's previous record, it is undeniable that Northern Qi is the country with the strongest military strength among the three countries at present, and this advantage will last for a long time.
Qi Lord Gao Yang is a guy who is used to chasing chickens and chasing dogs. If he doesn't kick the pebbles on the road, he won't be able to get through the day. If you take the initiative to provoke such a person, it's not that easy to get away! You want to?
It is easy to start a war with Northern Qi in Huainan, but it is hard to say when it will end.
Under normal circumstances, it is correct to think so. However, when considering the game with Beiqi with normal thinking, this thinking is not normal.
First of all, Huainan does not belong to the core interests of the Northern Qi Dynasty. In particular, the Jinyang nobles do not have any strong interest claims here. Therefore, the Jinyang soldiers, who are the main military force of the Northern Qi Dynasty, are not very active in fighting in Huainan.
Historically, when the Northern Qi used troops against the Huainan region, they mainly used the Guandong aristocrats and the powerful Hebei generals as generals, and also consumed Hou Jingyu's party and surrendered people from the Southern Dynasties. Although the Jinyang nobles served as chief generals a few times, they were not many, and they were often
The scale of the battle is not large either.
This is of course because Gao Yang does not want the power of Jinyang nobles to extend to Huainan. Similarly, Jinyang nobles are not active in Huainan, and they are not even as good as chasing rabbits in Monan.
The internal divisions in the Northern Qi Dynasty are reflected in all aspects of politics, culture and military affairs, which can be seen from the strategy of Huainan. They were not very concerned about it in the first place. The enemy was Li Tai, who was trying to gain military exploits by relying on them. Jin Yangxun
I'm afraid your attitude towards the war in Huainan will become even more negative, and you are basically unlikely to be willing to continue fighting.
Another factor is the supreme leader of Qi, Gao Yang. Now Gao Yang basically has no energy to pay attention to the war in Huainan. He mainly has to deal with the troubles in Monan.
Li Tai also met Li He, who was about to be the governor of Xiazhou, before leaving. When he talked about Rouran's departure, he remembered that Gao Yang would be repeatedly slapped in the face by Rouran this year.
After Gao Yang's attack on Khitan ended last year, he immediately intervened in the war between Rouran and the Turks. He welcomed the remnants of Rouran into the territory of Northern Qi and settled in them. He also launched a war with the Turks, and the Turks' Khan called him the hero of the emperor.
However, although the heroic emperor frightened his opponents, he did not frighten his comrades. Soon after the New Year, Rouran stabbed Gao Yang in the back and directly rebelled against the Qi.
This naturally made Gao Yang very angry. He was not a very kind-hearted person, but he occasionally showed his willingness to help others and was kicked in the face. How could he bear this? So for the entire first half of the year, Gao Yang had been dealing with this matter.
I have to get back the lost face.
Because of this, Li Tai had the confidence to make some news in Huainan. Otherwise, no matter how confident he was, he would not be able to provoke Northern Qi, whose main force had not yet come out, at this juncture.
He couldn't explain this reason to Chang Sun Jian, and there was no need to explain it. Because the internal problems mentioned by Chang Sun Jian did exist, and Chang Sun Jian was by no means the only one with Chinese and foreign eyes and ears in the army. If necessary,
, Li Tai needs to play the role of a prey well.
After scolding Changsun Jian, Li Tai began to assign tasks. The troops and horses went ahead without moving the food and grass. Since the troops were to be used in Huainan, it was natural to dispatch the food, grass and baggage in the direction of Yiyang.
The Jingzhou Military Mansion has arranged many granaries and warehouses within its jurisdiction to maintain all aspects of personnel dispatch, especially in the direction of some important garrison towns. The troops sent from Rangcheng can basically go directly without carrying any supplies.
Set out and provide supplies along the way.
Although the area under the jurisdiction of the entire Jingzhou General Administration is very large, with this kind of systematic warehousing and logistics support, the mobility of military dispatch has also been greatly enhanced. From Rangcheng to any town within the jurisdiction, it can be guaranteed not to exceed
Two days of travel. Of course, this is talking about the deployment of elite troops with less than 3,000 people. If a large army is really deployed, it will only shorten the supply cycle and will still be limited by the huge scale.
When Li Tai entered the court before, he had distributed the main forces of Jingzhou to various places. Now there is no need to assemble in Rangcheng and they can just go directly from their respective stations. In this way, the state government has no idea of the overall situation of the army's overall dispatch.
, and only Li Tai has the most comprehensive grasp of this situation.
So with Li Tai's order, Jingzhou's war machine began to operate efficiently again.
At the same time, Li Tai also sent a letter to Li Miao from Jiangling, telling him not to rush to contact and negotiate with Liang leader Xiao Yi. After he had dealt with Northern Qi in Huainan first, see what other tricks this guy wanted to play?
Of course, Li Tai also knew that Rouran was really in decline and on the verge of death, and the Turks who had risen were still not the rivals of the Northern Qi Dynasty during Gaoyang's period, so the war in the north could only delay Gaoyang for half a year at most. Wait until the second half of the year.
, still had to face the problem of revenge from Northern Qi, which prevented him from using all his troops in Jiangling.
At this time, Chen Baxian's role was revealed. At present, Chen Baxian was thinking about Guangling City day and night, and he couldn't get what he wanted. If Li Tai sent someone to inform him that he could cooperate with others to capture Guangling City, then he would be Chen Baxian's
Great benefactor!
After Chen Baxian takes Guangling, he will immediately have a strong advance base in Jiangbei, and will immediately become Northern Qi's biggest opponent in Huainan, sharing most of the pressure from Northern Qi for Li Tai.
However, Li Tai has never had contact with Chen Baxian before, so how to win his trust is also a problem. You can't just say that you are handsome, so I gave him a hand.
At this time, relatives need to come on stage. Li Zhen, the nephew who had just returned from Wang Sengbian's office, was arranged by Li Tai to go to Jingkou and his party to inform Chen Baxian of the intention of cooperation and send all the hostages there. Believe me and you will be Beifu.
Boss, if you don’t believe me, you’ve only come this far!
