He Batsheng was not in the Huazhou City Mansion, but went to the east of Huazhou City, not far from the city.

This time, He Batsheng funded a great favor for Li Tai, and he couldn't put down his things and leave, so he rode his horse to Chaoyi Township, which was subordinate to Wuquan in the east of Huazhou, under the leadership of He Batsheng's own soldiers.

Chaoyi is close to the Yellow River and is named after the high hill Chaoban in the northwest. Asabaka was not well-known in later generations, but now it is the most important defensive stronghold in the east of Huazhou City in the Western Wei Dynasty, close to the Yellow River, and not far from the northeast of the opposite bank is the Jade City that Gao Shenwu hated several times.

He Batsheng has a manor in Chaoyi Township, southeast of Asabaka, and he went there today to preside over the wedding of the veterans of the tribe.

It was already morning when Li Tai arrived in Huazhou City, and when he arrived in Chaoyi again, it was already evening.

Huazhou was originally the front line of confrontation with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and this realm was close to the Yellow River, the front line of the front line. Although there is no shortage of fertile soil in the township, there are almost no farmers cultivating it, and some are just large and small, fenced estates.

Most of the patterns of these manors are based on the method of camping fortifications, there are ditches inside and outside the fence to resist horses, and sentry towers and arrow towers and other defenses can also be seen everywhere, revealing a solemn atmosphere of strong walls and clear fields everywhere.

"The line along the river is often disturbed, in addition to the east thief, the east of the river and the north of the border Jihu also often wade into the river to disturb. Therefore, the land of Daxingtai was divided into generals, and the masses of the troops stayed here, according to the thieves and the geographical advantages! ”

Li Tai went back and forth to the house many times, and he was also familiar with He Basheng's personal soldiers, and when he was on the way, the personal soldier pointed to the manors on both sides of the road and introduced: "Most of the Chaoyi are my family's village territory, and Li Sikong is the village when I go south to Heyang Township." After the Shayuan War in the third year of Datong, Li Sikong and Taishi attacked Hedong and conquered Fen and Jiang, and Hedong was owned by me. Therefore, Daxingtai was divided into two townships near the river, and the subordinates were placed as the successor of the Assaka garrison. ”

Li Sikong is Li Bi, one of the Eight Pillars of the Later Dynasty.

In the battle of Shayuan, Li Bi fought bravely, and in the unfavorable situation of Zhao Gui of the left army, Li Bi personally led his troops to 60 cavalry to cross the Eastern Wei army, which was the most critical factor for the Western Wei to win this battle.

Li Tai didn't know that Li Bi and He Batsheng recovered Hedong together after the Battle of Shayuan, but he was also quite excited when he heard the story of He Batsheng's own soldiers. Jin Ge Iron Horse and Ripping Earth are romantic men, although he can't reach it now, he does yearn for it.

The area of Hebatsheng's manor is very large, located on the lower edge of the Assaka, and the land ditch and the tidal flats along the river are at least 300 hectares, which is far from being comparable to Li Tai's manor in Shangyuan.

In the southwest of the manor is a large area of cultivated land, at least hundreds of hectares of fertile land are stretched, and Li Tai's saliva will flow down when he sees it.

This is a real big manor and a big industry, hundreds of acres of water and land fertilizer, and tens of thousands of stones of grain are at your fingertips every year! Next to it is the endless Yellow River, with abundant water resources, and it is difficult to make a fortune with such an industry.

Envy is envy, but Li Tai also understands that such a fat industry is obviously not something he can possess now. He Batsheng and Li Bi are both the top generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, so they can enjoy such benefits.

Moreover, at present, the East and West Wei are bounded by the Yellow River, and although the industry here is fertile, it is also the front line of confrontation between the two tyrants. Even if Li Tai was given the garden here, there would not be so many troops stationed to resist harassment.

He cleaned up his mood and rode his horse up the high slope of the park with Hebatsheng's own soldiers. The whole high slope of the manor is a military camp, with rows of houses and clear boundaries, which can accommodate two or three thousand people.

When the group arrived at the lobby of the camp, He Batsheng inquired about the line, and pointed at Li Tai from a distance and laughed: "The boy's mouth is not shallow, I am in the township of the banquet, you can still smell the wind and arrive!" ”

Li Tai dismounted and said: "Governing the business is diligent and thrifty, if other families can get wine and food, their own family can save a meal." Young scoundrel, smell the fragrance, uncle can't avoid me! ”

After meeting and chatting with each other, Li Tai followed He Batsheng to the court, and the hall was already full, most of them were loyal veterans who had followed He Batsheng for many years. The deep feelings between each other have long exceeded the upper and lower definitions of identity.

He Batsheng took Li Tai's wrist and introduced it to everyone in the hall, only saying that it was a nephew of an old man's heir. Everyone in the hall was also very enthusiastic, or not good at expressing their attitudes, and came up to toast one by one.

Li Tai walked all the way through the banquet, and drank several large bowls of wine as soon as he reached the hall. Fortunately, his alcohol consumption is not bad, and the alcohol content of these private brews is not too high, so he barely showed his timidity.

Rao is like this, when he sat in the seat, he was already slightly drunk and his eyes were foggy.

When He Batsheng saw him like this, he couldn't help laughing again, and ordered someone to serve buttermilk to relieve his hangover. Before they had time to say a few words to each other, it was already the auspicious time for the newlyweds to salute.

Today's wedding was a dozen veterans of the tribe under the command of Ho Batsheng, the oldest of whom even followed Ho Batsheng all the way when he was in Wuchuan Town, and the brides were unmarried women chosen among the soldiers.

Veterans don't like to be polite, and after the auspicious day is selected, regardless of the six ceremonies, a pair of newcomers line up to worship the lord and see the robe, which is considered a ceremony, and will not be ruined because of the simplicity of etiquette.

"This disgusting thing is called Ah Yan, from my family name, it is my fake son! He is called nine catties, and he is nine catties, and he was abandoned in the wilderness by his mother, and he actually knows how to hold and suck milk. I was still a teenager at the time, and I just thought it was funny, and I picked it up and adopted it, and I was an adult. Unknowingly, I followed me for more than 30 years, but I went to Jiangnan but I thought it was ugly, so I asked the doctor to change his name to Aji. What does Li Lang know? It's still a sheep......"

He Batsheng pointed to a couple of newcomers who entered the hall, introduced Li Tai with a smile, and then pointed to the groom with gray hair and said with a smile: "You choose Meishu for you, Anugao is not happy?" ”

Li Tai is also a joy when he hears this, and he is born nine catties into less than five catties in the next generation, and he is a premature baby, but seeing that the groom He Batshan still looks like Kong Wu is powerful, it is really hard, no wonder he can follow He Batsheng all the way from Beizhenlang to Jiangnan and back.

He Batsheng was in his thirties, and the bride next to him looked at him who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and lovely, and when he heard He Batsheng say this, the corners of his mouth grinned to the root of his ears: "Whatever Aya gave me, I am happy!" Hold a child next year, hold a daughter the year after ......"

Later, a couple of newlyweds came to the hall, but He Batsheng's expression became much more serious, pointing to the groom and saying: "Zhu Meng'er, when I returned from the south to the north and traveled to Xiangyang, the East Thief Hou Jing led his troops to block it, and you undressed me on the mountain road, but I froze to death on the way!" When he leaves, I will answer him, I must let his blood grow, and after you get married, you will take off your armor and return to your home, give birth with your heart, don't let me break your trust! ”

When the strong man Zhu Meng heard this, he immediately looked unhappy: "If the servant returns to the house, who will hold the flag for the lord?" ”

"Boy arrogant! Who is not heroic and strong? Who can't hold the flag for the Lord! Go back to the house and serve your lady, isn't it happier than eating soil in the battle? ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall shouted and cursed, and although the tone was vulgar, the atmosphere was warm.

All the newlyweds came to the church to visit, and He Batsheng also gave gifts to each other.

Li Tai was also quite moved by the harmonious relationship between the top and bottom, and he couldn't help but wonder if his own subordinates would follow him as unwaveringly, whether he was prominent or frustrated.

After the newcomers finished the worship, He Batsheng pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile: "It is not easy to clean up the wine and food at this wedding banquet. ”

Hearing He Batsheng say this, all the subordinates in the hall also made a case of coaxing, but Li Tai did not meet the public's opinion, stood up and looked at the newcomers and said with a smile: "In love, my uncle has given it all." Although I am moved by this loyalty, if I give it generously, I will inevitably thin the master. And in this banquet, I wish all the newcomers early news and many children. If there are children who are aspiring scholars, I will set up my own classroom to teach, if I can't teach good things, you can come to my house and spit on me! ”

"Wine as a covenant, wine as a covenant! His family is famous, the most erudite and high-hoped, you wait for this body to sloppy, you can't let your children and grandchildren grow in the wilderness, vote for him, don't become a doctor, look for him to be accountable! ”

When He Batsheng heard this, his eyes also brightened, and he got up and patted Li Tai on the shoulder and laughed: "What I am talking about today is my henchman's future, and it is definitely not a joke!" I have already taken this to heart, if the kid does not do well and is not thorough, I will not let you go easily! ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, not only He Batsheng smiled, but also those who got married were also happy, and they all came forward to toast and thank you.

Although these people were all born in the army, they followed He Batsheng to the north and south and had a wide range of knowledge, so they naturally knew the preference of the world for the famous families of the world, and knew the value of Li Tai's promise.

Li Tai was infected by this atmosphere, and the newcomers who toasted before entering also did not refuse, and unconsciously became drunk. But he finally maintained some sanity, and for fear of losing his words after drinking, he sat back in the seat and was silent.

Perhaps because of the stimulation of the alcohol, his perception was more acute than usual, and when he looked left and right, he found that although he looked happy, he frowned frequently, clasped his knees with one hand, and trembled uncontrollably with the fingers of the other.

He knew that He Batsheng's life was about to end, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw this, but before he could open his mouth to remind and persuade, the drunken and hazy He Batsheng had already raised his hand to stuff a whole roast leg of lamb into his eating table.

"Ah Pan, eat more, eat more! You are new from Dongzhou, and I also treat you as a nephew. Seeing that you have abundant food and wine, I feel that my sons and daughters will also be full and carefree......"

He Batsheng was already very drunk at this time, and looked at Li Tai's eyes slightly red: "When I returned to the West, I still had some private plans to seize power and start a business. But the Black Otter is indeed a genius, and although he is a latecomer, he is more vicious and thoughtful than my brothers......

I don't have any power to think about now, and the old members don't dare to be common, I just hope that Daxingtai will reuse me, go east from the king's industry, and meet my children in this life! ”
