Although He Ruodun was very high-spirited, Li Tai was not in a hurry to order an attack downstream. Instead, he first learned about the latest situation.
At this time, the envoy sent by Wang Lin happened to arrive in Jiangxia. Li Tai personally met and asked about it. Although it is not a good character to take pleasure in others' misfortune, but after hearing that these guys in Nanliang had fought several times, he couldn't help but sigh.
What a sign of subjugation!
Regarding Wang Lin's request to surrender, he has not yet made a decision on how to deal with it, and news is arriving one after another from the downstream. He also has no opinion on how Hefei will handle it.
He had anticipated the civil strife in Nanliang and decided from a very early stage not to intervene in depth. There were many conflicts in the Three Kingdoms and many opportunities, but he did not have to intervene at every opportunity. The current situation
He will not focus on the Jiangnan area for the time being. The real situation that can determine the general trend of the world is in the north!
Under such a premise, all he needs to do is to try to ensure that the impact and negative impact of Nanliang's civil strife on himself is minimized, and then fully absorb the personnel resources released by this order turmoil in Nanliang.
For example, Wang Lin's current surrender can be considered a good thing for Li Tai.
Of course, he knew that Wang Lin was a rebellious guy and would never be willing to submit to him and continue to obey his orders. Moreover, it was impossible for him to establish any clear superior-subordinate relationship with Wang Lin and allow the desperadoes under his command to corrupt him over the years.
Some of the names of benevolence and righteousness accumulated among the rivers, Huaihan and Han Dynasties.
What he needs is to give Wang Lin a statement so that Wang Lin can safely fight with Chen Baxian in the lower reaches without worrying about being attacked by the troops of the Western Wei Dynasty on the way back.
Although Wang Lin is quite difficult to deal with from a purely military perspective, overall she is much easier to deal with than Chen Baxian.
Li Tai will not put too much energy into Jiangdong in recent years. After all, Guanzhong may usher in new opportunities for power reshuffle at any time, so it is more necessary to have an isolation zone like Wang Lin to separate Chen Baxian's power.
Isolate yourself from influence downstream and do not penetrate into the midstream.
When there was no news from Hefei before, Li Tai was still a little unsure of what kind of acceptance he should give Wang Lin.
But when he learned that Li Zhen was on an envoy to Jiankang and wanted the remains of Wang Sengbian and his son back, he made a decision in his heart.
First of all, he will definitely not accept Wang Lin as a subordinate. No matter how easy the manure spoon is, it is not a tool for serving rice. In this case, a medium is needed to reach an agreement between the two parties and maintain a tacit understanding between them.
The plan proposed by Li Tai was that although he would not accept Wang Lin and his subordinates, he could accept the land donation and carve out Xunyang County in Jiangzhou and place it under the ownership of the Taifu government, and then the Taifu government would appoint Wang Sengbian.
His younger brother, Wang Sengmin, became the prefect of Xunyang.
Although Wang Sengmin was appointed by the Taiwan government, he still obeyed Wang Lin and was stationed in Huancheng. The Taiwan government would give Wang Lin a certain amount of funding for food, grass and military equipment, all of which would be distributed through Huancheng.
What Wang Lin was worried about was that when he fought with Chen Baxian, he might be attacked by the Western Wei Dynasty on his retreat, but now that Li Tai had taken the retreat directly, he didn't have to worry.
Wang Lin needed food, grass and weapons urgently now. Either he would die trapped in Huancheng without being able to go anywhere, or he would abandon the stronghold of Huancheng, arm his men and horses, and open up a larger living space to the east.
When Li Tai's reply was sent back to Yuzhang, Wang Lin was so embarrassed that she slapped the case and roared: "Li Boshan only relied on his family wealth and being respected by the world to become famous. How dare you underestimate me like this! But let me
If you were not a soldier, how could Liu Zhongli have become famous among Jingxiang and Xiangzhou?"
In addition, this time, he had already been rejected twice when he asked for surrender. Originally, he had to make up his mind to be a dog, which required a lot of mental struggle. When the struggle was over and he made the painful decision, he realized that he couldn't even be a dog!
In contrast to Wang Lin's request for surrender, which was declined, Li Tai not only told Wang Sengmin to go to Jiangxia to see him in his letter, but also specifically asked him to bring Yang Kan's son Yang Kun with him, which inevitably made Wang Lin feel ashamed and angry.
Although he felt very unhappy, after seeing the list of the first batch of aid supplies that came with the enclosed letter, he couldn't help but feel excited, and he couldn't bear to reject it outright. So Wang Lin sent Wang Sengmin and Yang Kun to
Summoned them, gave them a severe and angry reprimand, and warned them again and again not to forget their roots, and then ordered them to go to Jiangxia.
Li Tai specifically asked Yang Kun to come to Jiangxia by name, not only because he was the son of Yang Kan, but also because Hou Jing died in his hands.
When Yang Kun came to Jiangxia to pay his respects, Li Tai looked at the tall and tall Yang Kun and couldn't help but sighed: "I have been famous for Yang Shangshu for a long time, but I regret that I can't see him. Now that I see Yang Lang's heroic appearance, I can also think about Yang Shangshu.
Brilliance. Shangshu Yang was determined to return to the south. Although millions of people could not stop him, his deeds were heroic. However, the talent that could rejuvenate the country fell into the hands of a foolish old man. It is no different from a pearl cast in secret, a hero's end, and a rotten tree.
"Qing, when you think about it, isn't it sad?"
When Yang Kun heard the King of Taiyuan's comments about his father, he couldn't help but shed tears for a while. He kowtowed and said to him: "The world is in chaos and heroes come out in large numbers. But there are very few people who can guide the heroes like a king. Although my father was so foolish that he was lucky.
Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, so far there has been no insult to integrity. The unworthy son once committed himself to a thief in order to survive, and his sinful body and blood stained his family..."
"How can a hundred-foot mansion be destroyed by birds building nests under its eaves? In ancient times, there were many people who endured humiliation and achieved great things. Hou Jing brought trouble to the world, and all the righteous people in the world wanted to kill him. The Yanglang's ability to do this was enough to make him famous in history. Liang
Not being able to defend the country is not the fault of you and other loyal men. Wang Taiwei is also a pillar of the country who is determined to turn the tide, and he will inevitably be killed by others."
At this point, he looked at Wang Sengmin who was hanging his head and said: "Although the two sides became enemies over the Jiangling incident, I also admire Taiwei Wang for his ability to calm the chaos before and for his loyalty later.
Being in an enemy country, one should always smile, but one cannot help but feel sad when remembering the story. Li Zhen, who belonged to Taiwan, was sent to Jiankang as an envoy to bring back the remains of Taiwei Wang and his son. Wang Fan is carrying the coffin to the west. Please bear with me for the time being.
I'm sorry, let's bury Taiwei Wang in Jiangling first, and then think about our future plans."
"Thank you, thank you so much, Your Majesty, for looking after me! My brother was killed by a thief, and my family lost their support. If it hadn't been for Your Majesty's generous help, the family affairs might not have been able to continue..."
After Wang Sengmin heard this, he couldn't help crying. Since his brother was killed, there have been many rebellions in the past. Unexpectedly, it was the person in front of him who was supposed to be the number one enemy who rescued and gathered his scattered clansmen.
stand up.
A few days later, Wang Ban and his party arrived in Jiangxia carrying the coffins of his father and brothers. Li Tai also waited by the river early in the morning, leading Wang Bao and other members of the former Jiangling court to welcome the arrival, and recited inscriptions on the riverside.
sacrifice.
Putting aside personal emotions, from the perspective of the pros and cons of the regime, Wang Sengbian's death is also a good thing for Li Tai. Not only because he can receive some personnel resources released by the turmoil in Nanliang, but also because of such repeated
Internal strife has further weakened the appeal and unifying power of the downstream regime for the entire Nanliang homeland.
In the original history, the Southern Chen Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty fought back and forth in Yingzhou, and even once threatened the security of the puppet regime of Xiliang. However, according to the current development of the situation, even if everything goes well for Chen Baxian in the future, it will be difficult to
Expand influence to the Jianghan area. If Wang Lin had been more forceful, it might not even be possible to stabilize the fundamentals of the lower reaches.
After that, Wang Yan and others bid farewell to Li Tai and escorted Wang Sengbian's coffin to Jiangling for burial. Although Jiangling was not his hometown, Wang Sengbian's half-life achievements started here, and his burial in Jiangling was considered a reincarnation.
After seeing off the group, Li Tai summoned Wu Mingche in Jiangxia City. Because he had some other military affairs to make arrangements, he had Wu Mingche taken to a separate hall to wait.
When Li Tai finished his matter and walked into the other hall, he saw Wu Mingche standing in trance in front of a territory map hanging in the hall. He drew this map with his own hands based on his own memory.
Although it is not a world map with five continents and four oceans, it also includes the scope of the ancient Chinese territory, as well as the alien regimes that are rising and growing in the surrounding areas today.
"This side is Tuyuhun, and to the south are Tubo, Xiangxiong and other Western Qiang countries. The source of Hehuang is a bitter and cold country. It is difficult to harvest ten stones of grain from one hectare of land, so its people are poor and aggressive.
.But in recent years, the autumn and winter seasons have become warmer, and Heluo is warmer than Jiangling in previous years. Therefore, the source of Hehuang is also deeply nourished, and the years are rich. The disciples have more food in their tents, and their horses and horses are getting stronger, so mergers and acquisitions are becoming more and more frequent.
In the near future, the various tribes may be mixed into one, and the general trend will rise and strangle us in Longyou."
Li Tai walked slowly into the room and said to Wu Mingche, who was watching in a daze. After hearing the sound, Wu Mingche hurriedly turned around and bowed, but after hearing Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. This really touched him a bit.
Knowledge blind spots.
"Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that the world is not just a corner of Jiangdong. The world cannot be in chaos for a long time, and the Han family cannot be weak for a long time. To revive and strengthen, strong men will do it!"
Li Tai was overjoyed about Wu Mingche's coming, otherwise he would not have been trusted, so he immediately ordered him to be sent to Jiangxia. However, after seeing Wu Mingche, he had a calm expression on his face, and first made a big statement.
When he threw it out, he saw Wu Mingche lowering his head and thinking deeply, and then said: "I was discussing with Zhou Hongzheng about the talent flow in Jiangzuo. The Marquis of Zhou mentioned that he had heard of Wu Mingche's name. Now that I have come to invest, I will leave it under my account."
"Many, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Mingche was still curious about why the King of Taiyuan paid more attention to him, and he understood after learning that it was his teacher Zhou Hongzheng who recommended him.
He didn't know what the King of Taiyuan was like, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but just this first meeting had left a very deep impression on him. Although Chen Baxian had a pleasant conversation when he recruited him,
But looking back now, Wu Mingche had to sigh that the King of Taiyuan was worthy of the talents of the Northern Kingdom, and his style and magnanimity were much better than that of Chen Baxian.
Li Tai knew that PUA needed to be developed step by step, so he did not pay too much attention after recruiting Wu Mingche into his account, and planned to find opportunities to continue to strengthen ideological education in the future.
He originally planned to stay in Jiangxia for a while, but two things happened one after another that forced him to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. One was that his family sent a message that his father Li Xiao was critically ill, and the other was that the Taiwanese government reported that the Chinese and foreign government troops had gathered to slaughter people in Otsuka.
