Not to mention the personnel difficulties in Heluo, when Liang Rui rushed to Xiangyang day and night with Yu Wentai's order and conveyed this order to Li Tai, it immediately caused an uproar in Xiangyang Mansion.
Li Tai has been paying close attention to the changes in the situation in Heluo during this period. Although he had expected it, he did not expect that the situation would collapse in such a way. After listening to Liang Rui's report, he also
Some people can't react.
"Otsuka slaughtered the last general and told the king that although the former had internal and external rifts, his ambition to kill thieves and establish rule was the same. Now the army is hanging outside, and the situation is extremely dangerous. Unless the king comes to Heluo in person, I am afraid that he cannot overcome it.
Defeat powerful enemies and maintain a stable situation. Today, the lives of tens of thousands of troops and troops are at risk, and the honor and disgrace of our family and country are all determined by your Majesty's thoughts. If your Majesty arrives, all family and state affairs will be taken care of..."
After running all the way here, although there were already people from the Taiwan government to help him after arriving in Mianbei, Liang Rui was inevitably tired. However, because he was worried about the situation in Heluo, he did not bother to take a rest and reported the relevant situation.
After reporting the report, he begged with his head on the ground: "The disputes in the past were not the intention of the Lord. Now that we are in trouble and danger, the Lord can only rely on the King. I sincerely ask the King to put aside the past grudges. The overall situation is the most important.
Run to save Heluo..."
After hearing this, Li Tai did not rush to express his position, but said: "Liang Lang has traveled thousands of miles and must be exhausted. Let's take a short rest in the mansion first. I will also discuss the matter with the people in the mansion.
Make a decision as soon as possible."
After saying this, he led Liang Rui down temporarily, and then ordered the people in the mansion to put down what they were doing and come to the Zhitang to discuss the big plan.
Soon the government officials gathered around, and the expressions on their faces were quite rich. It was obvious that they had some understanding of what had just happened, and they had some thoughts in their minds.
Li Tai asked people to tell the story exactly what Liang Rui had just reported. Although everyone knew the details before, their expressions became serious after understanding the whole story.
"Now that the Chinese and foreign masters are hanging in Heluo, unable to advance or retreat, the Prime Minister Otsuka sent an envoy to summon him. What do you think of this?"
When Li Tai saw that the government officials were either lowering their heads in deep thought or whispering to each other, he asked.
While others were still sorting out their thoughts, Li Qianzhi, who had already entered the Imperial Household, stood up and said: "As a newcomer who has humbled his post and returned to his righteousness, his knowledge of Kansai personnel is still unclear. He should not rush into discussing important matters. But this matter is at stake.
When the East and West are at war, it is necessary to take into account both the East and the West when discussing matters, and boldly outline your plans to enlighten everyone's wisdom."
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded and signaled to Li Qianzhi that it was okay to speak.
"The new defeat of the Chinese and foreign divisions and brigade, and the loss of advance and retreat, is really a worry. However, the king leads the army straight into Heluo in order to rescue, which may not be a plan. The ancients also used troops to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. It can be seen that the military strategy has endless ingenuity, but it can
Bailouts are not the only solution.
In the former case, the Chinese and foreign government did not use troops to sue the Taiwan government. Now the division has suffered a defeat and the military aircraft has changed suddenly. It is difficult to know everything in a short time. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we fight without danger. Now I don't know myself and I don't know the enemy. It's really not appropriate for me to be an outsider.
And lightly involved in dangerous things."
As a newcomer to Xiangyang, Li Qianzhi had never lived in Kansai, and had no previous experience of Jingzhou Military Office being under orders from the Zhongwaifu. When he came to Xiangyang, the Taifu and Zhongwaifu were already in an internal and external confrontation.
He was in such a poor state that he had no feelings at all about the personnel of the Chinese and Foreign Governments, so he pointed out that it was not appropriate to rush to save Heluo at the moment.
After all, this war has been carried out by the Chinese and Foreign Governments from the beginning to the end. Now it is not going smoothly. If you want the Taiwanese government to take over to clean up the mess, it is not justifiable in theory. It is just that you cannot afford to pick up this mess.
An unknown quantity.
After all, the Chinese and Foreign Governments dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and many generals from the country went out to fight, but the result was still like this. If the Xiangyang Government wanted to rescue them, how much force should they invest?
However, Li Qianzhi's emotionless and purely rational attitude still made some elderly people in Taifu feel uncomfortable.
After all, there is also a deep connection between the Chinese and Foreign Governments and the Taiwanese Government, and the members of the Taiwanese Government originally had many people from Guanzhong. Now the divisions and troops trapped in Heluo are all descendants of Kansai. Seeing these people in dire straits, they are helpless.
Of course they couldn't bear it if they didn't do anything to rescue them.
Therefore, as soon as Li Qianzhi finished speaking, Xingtai Secretary Liu Min also stood up and said: "Li Shangshu's view of Kansai affairs is indeed short-sighted, and he does not fully understand the reason why Otsuka Zai was in such danger and summoned the king to rescue him.
.Now the internal affairs of the country are only handled by Otsuka Zai, and the king is the most important in foreign affairs.
The former has a clear distinction between inside and outside and does not interfere with each other. Now that the Heluo war has suffered a setback, the safety of the division and brigade hangs on a thread. Only the king can save the country from danger. This is not only because the king is so powerful, but also because everyone in Guanxi knows that he looks up to him.
With the king's protection, everything will be worry-free. Human kindness is like gold, how can we abandon it lightly?"
Li Qianzhi heard Liu Min bluntly saying that he was short-sighted, so he did not feel dissatisfied with this, but continued: "Liu Siru, please be patient, I am not saying that I will not save you, but the current situation does not require rushing to Heluo to save. Master.
When the country is trapped and in danger, which one is more serious? When the army and troops encounter dangers abroad, can the situation in the country be stable?
Now the army is hanging outside, and there are no famous ministers or generals in the country to calm down the people. There is internal strife and external dangers, and the country is in turmoil. Now the only person in the country who can calm the internal and external situation is the king. For the current plan, the king should go straight to Guanzhong and report
Report to the king to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, and then be ordered to leave Tongguan eastward to support the division and brigade back to Guanzhong."
After Li Qianzhi said this, several people in the hall immediately expressed their agreement and echoed, thinking that Li Qianzhi's plan was a top priority and was in the best interest of the Taiwan government.
But Liu Min was not without supporters here. Zhao Gang, the Xingtai Sima, also joined the discussion. He stood up and said: "There is a slight dispute between the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and the Taiwanese Government. The guests at the Junior High School forum cannot fully understand the loyalty of a certain group of southeastern disciples."
Although he has a diligent heart, his ambition to rejuvenate the country and fight against thieves is the same. This is why the people in the country especially respect the king!
Moreover, all the Chinese and foreign teachers and troops are not foreigners, they are all sons and daughters of Guanxi. Even if the situation in Guanxi is chaotic today, the fathers and elders are worried that their children will not return. The teachers are hanging upside down, worrying about their own safety. But if you rush to Guanzhong, or
This will make the frontline commanders fearful and self-doubtful, and they will rush back. The pass will be congested by then, and if they are robbed by thieves again, the situation may collapse even more."
Zhao Gang's point of view is also very clear. The current crisis is real and will not be weakened by the change of rhetoric. The disputes and conflicts between the Chinese and foreign governments and the Taiwan government do exist. If the Taiwan government does not
If you rush to Heluo, but go straight to Guanzhong based on your own interests, then the collapse of the front line will be a matter of minutes.
Li Tai listened to the discussion in the hall, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly. At present, the opinions of the people were mainly divided into two categories. One advocated going to Guanzhong, and the other advocated going to Heluo. The former view was mainly held by
Among the newly arrived relatives and friends from Hebei and people from the Southern Dynasties, those who hold the latter view are mainly people from Kansai.
"What does Changshi have to say about this?"
After the two ideas gradually became clear, Li Tai was not eager to express his attitude, but looked at Changsun Jian who was also silent and said.
Although Changsunjian is the chief minister of the Taiwan government, he is also a veteran of the Chinese and foreign government, and he and Otsuka Prime Minister Yu Wentai are the son and daughter of the family. Before, everyone was talking about it, but he did not speak out.
At this time, after hearing Li Tai's question, Changsun Jian stood up and bowed in front of Li Tai's case. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone of you is profound and thorough in what you see. Even though you are in a humble position, you don't have high opinions to distinguish yourself from the masses. Your Majesty, since
Asked, I dare not say anything despite my humble position. In recent years, Otsuka's actions have indeed deviated from the general principles and lost the fairness and thoroughness of previous years.
For example, in the past years, the king was promoted and inspired many times, and he was given many important responsibilities. Everyone praised him for his ability to know people! Because of this, even if the times are bad, he can still keep the people entrusted to him. Where the king goes, he will do it righteously.
Wherever the king is, there is justice!"
Hearing Zhang Sunjian's answer, Li Tai also sighed secretly. Yuwentai asked Liang Rui to come to Xiangyang for help, not only to save himself, but also to seek a better situation for his family.
If he does not go to Heluo, he will not only live up to the kindness of promoting and cultivating him in the past, but also ignore the safety of many Guanzhong disciples, which will be very detrimental to his future success in Guanzhong.
But if you go, you have to admit that you have taken over the power of running the court from Yuwentai, so you must be more gentle in handling subsequent Bafu personnel and Yuwentai's family.
Li Tai is not disgusted with this, and to be honest, without Yuwentai's cultivation and promotion, it would be difficult for him to stand out in the current situation of the Western Wei Dynasty. Even if some conflicts have arisen in recent years, but for Yuwentai's kindness
He always kept it in mind.
But the question is, can Yuwentai still take charge of the overall situation? After he goes to Heluo, can he successfully take over the power? According to Liang Rui, when Yuwentai sent him here, he even asked Li Yuan to be present.
This shows that Yuwentai's condition is worrying, and his will may be hijacked by those close to him at any time and his arrangements may be tampered with.
Therefore, Li Tai also had to make two preparations. Of course He Luo wanted to be rescued, and he had to go there himself. As Chang Sun Jian said, where the king is, justice lies. But the situation in Guanzhong cannot be ignored, and the same must be said.
Sending people there, even if they do not hold the authority in Guanzhong for the time being, they must show their presence!
After summarizing the opinions of the masses, Li Tai ordered Gao Le to lead Liang Rui and Shuofeng to lead 5,000 fine cavalry. Together with Guo Xian, Li Renjie and others, they rushed to Yique first to ensure that the Three Crows Road was unobstructed.
.
At the same time, his cousin, Li Wei, the governor of Jingzhou, led 5,000 troops to occupy Wuguan. Together with Cui You, the governor of Liangzhou, Quan Zhongzun, the governor of Luozhou, etc., on the premise of not conflicting with Weinan Hou Mo Chenchong, he
Temporarily expand the power to the southern part of Guanzhong.
Li Tai himself led an army of 20,000, together with Yu Jin who had been recuperating in Xishan, and rushed to Heluo along the Sanya Road for rescue.
