Although several days have passed, the masses on the Baishui Plateau are still talking about the drill and competition that day, and every time they talk about it to the latecomers, they can't help but dance and marvel.

Li Tai, a young general who has not risen for a long time in Taiwan, was able to defeat Zhao Gui, a veteran general, with two wins and one loss. The result itself was already astonishing, and the devastating victory in the final field battle was even more shocking.

"That day, it was also the scene of this moment, there was no wind in the plains, but as soon as the whip of the governor Li was raised, the wind rose on the hill......"

In the word of mouth of the masses, Li Tai seems to have become a god general who knows how to call the wind and rain, not because the masses began to worship him madly after this battle, but normal logic cannot explain the devastated and decaying defeat of Zhao Gui's tribe that day.

Originally, in everyone's minds, Zhao Gui's troops must be more well-trained than Li Tai's tribes, even if Li Tai gains a certain degree of advantage by virtue of tactical trade-offs, the two sides will inevitably have to go through an extremely fierce tug-of-war to decide the victory.

But in the field of vision of the crowd watching the battle that day, first Zhao Gui's array was distinct, and then Li Tai led his troops to rush up, and the two sides fought, Li Tai did not enter the battle formation, and his cavalry continued to attack, and Zhao Gui's formation began to shrink, and then fell into chaos, and then began to collapse.

The whole battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and when the crowd saw the main generals of the two sides again, Zhao Gui, who had sworn to worship Li Tai as the prince, had already been put on his horse and dragged out.

Such a result, not to mention Zhao Gui, whose face was extremely gloomy at the time, the generals who were watching the battle were a little unacceptable for a while, and at the end, Yu Jin, the general who presided over the competition, did not even announce the victory or defeat of the two sides, but just ordered Li Tai to quickly let go of Zhao Gui, who was being held up, and apologized to him, and then announced the end of the competition, and the generals led their troops back to the camp.

Although the spectators dispersed, the various discussions related to it did not stop. Regardless of the victory or defeat, Li Tai's troops were able to break through Zhao Gui's army formation so cleanly, and the tactics they applied and the fighters they grasped were also worth discussing and learning from.

"According to what the minister has seen, Li Boshan's troops can't talk about any tactical innovations, nothing more than the basic tactics of the cavalry of advancing and retreating, and even a few scattered and jerky and inflexible transformations, and the key to their victory is only the courage of the generals."

In the Baishui camp, when the Daxingtai, who had just arrived here, asked about the matter with great interest, Yu Jin, who was presiding over the arbitration that day, got up and analyzed the performance: "The defeat of Zhongshan Gongzhi cannot be completely attributed to the crime of war. His subordinates were not coordinated and dispatched, and Zhongshan Gong himself was attacked by Li Boshan......"

"A general is incompetent, and there are tired armies!"

Yu Jin's analysis can be regarded as a cover-up for Zhao Gui, and Yu Wentai's summary after listening to it hit the nail on the head, he said with emotion: "Although Zhao Yuangui has been in battle for a long time and is familiar with military affairs, he has never been known for his bravery. If it is tens of thousands of battles and huge battles, you can also rely on the strategy to win or lose. But in this narrow formation, he is bound to be a brave young man who is eager to win and become famous, and his muscles and blood are inferior to others, and failure is also a matter of course. ”

Yuwentai didn't like the contest between Zhao Gui and Li Tai, and he was not very polite to evaluate Zhao Gui's failure, and he was not very satisfied with the handling after Jin, so he said directly: "The old use their old age, and the young reward their bravery." Although this fight is not a ritual, the young man's enthusiasm is excited, and there should be no response from the following. Zhao Hussar was tempered by this, and he should also have some appreciation for the teenagers who competed in the same field. ”

Zhao Gui returned to the camp after the fight that day, claiming that he occasionally felt cold and sick, and rarely showed signs in front of people, and did not rush to welcome the arrival of Daxingtai from Chang'an.

But it doesn't matter if others don't come, there will always be someone who will convey the meaning of Daxingtai to him.

When Daxingtai's words reached his ears, Zhao Gui, who was originally just pretending to be sick because he couldn't wipe his face, was almost really angry. But no matter what his mood is, since Daxingtai has said so, if he doesn't make a statement, it will be a bit embarrassing.

So Zhao Guiqiang endured the anger in his heart and ordered his subordinates to select a few horses in the camp and send them to Li Tai as the color of the day's competition.

For this unexpected joy, Li Tai smiled unceremoniously, slapped others in the face and received prizes, so he was not too proud.

Of course, all the kind care is not for nothing, especially a boss like Yuwentai, who is not too generous.

Li Tai noticed that only Yu Wentai and a number of civil and military ministers came to Baishui from Chang'an to participate in the parade this time, and the crown prince Yuanqin, who had been the mascot a few years earlier, did not follow him. Although there are also Yuan clan relatives such as Guangling Wang Yuanxin in the team, these people are obviously not as heavy as the prince, in other words, this year's big reading can only be seen by the head of the big line.

Yu Wentai naturally did not completely abandon the capital and courage of the Western Wei Emperor at the moment, but it did not prevent him from further promoting his authority on the basis of the original.

This time, the prince was grounded in Chang'an by the previous incident, and he presided over this year's big parade alone, and the preparatory process for the big parade was quite smooth, and the military appearance of the sergeants was also much better than in previous years, which naturally made Yu Wentai ambitious, and implemented it in words and deeds, that is, he was more partial to Li Tai, a henchman of the Taiwan government, and a little less maintenance for Zhao Gui, an old brother.

Li Tai was already famous on the Baishui Plateau because of the previous competition with Zhao Gui, and now he has the support of Daxingtai, it will inevitably be more beautiful in front of people, and the chauffeur is the most basic from there, and even his troops were once arranged to guard the duties of the guards, and cooperate with the elites of the Sixth Army to defend the large camp on the plateau.

Compared with last year, the number of participants in this year's parade has been much reduced, but the process of the whole parade has not been reduced much, the non-commissioned officers have significantly improved compared with last year, the main and auxiliary pattern of the six armies and the state and county soldiers is more clear, and the performance of the six armies has also shown that the reorganization of the past six months has been fruitful, and the officers and men have revealed a faintly visible edge.

In addition to the improvement of the overall military appearance, new faces like Li Tai are also emerging in large numbers.

Although most of these heroes do not have the status and treatment of Li Tai as the sole leader of the army, they are also widely distributed in the position of commander in the middle and lower ranks of the army. Especially among the six armies, the proportion of Han commanders has increased more significantly, although it has not yet reached the level of far exceeding the Xianbei commanders, but it is also not to be underestimated.

Of course, this is not to say that Yuwentai has solved the national contradictions in the Western Wei army, but if the Western Wei Dynasty wants to continue to strengthen the construction of the army and enhance its strength, then it is a necessary way to widely absorb the Han armed forces and the Han people's strong and strong, but it will not change because of anyone's will, Yuwentai is just going further and smoother on this correct road.

Although Li Tai did not participate in the scheduling and training of other horses, after a few days of drills, he inevitably had to have frequent contact with the commanders and generals of other armies.

In addition to some unnutritious greetings and praises among each other, what these generals talked about the most was the previous battle between him and Zhao Gui, and they were full of praise when they mentioned it, and even regarded Li Tai as the leading representative of the Han people in the Kansai region.

Although Li Tai did not belong to the indigenous people of Kansai, most of his subordinates were recruited from Kansai, and they were relatively rare armed forces with an absolute majority of Han Chinese children. Although he doesn't deliberately flaunt these, as his presence increases, he can't help but be noticed by people who are interested in it.

In the process of communicating with these generals, there were many people who expressed their hope that they could lead their troops to join Li Tai's team and were willing to obey Li Tai's orders.

Of course, this is not because he finally cultivated any domineering spirit, but the improvement of his power and qualifications has given him room to grow his wings, and naturally some people will move when they hear the wind.

Compared with some tyrannical and unsympathetic Hu commanders and generals, some Han heroes are naturally more willing to follow a candidate like Li Tai. Whether it is the assignment and scheduling of tasks during combat, or the daily training and sustenance, etc., following a good general is undoubtedly a greater convenience.

Li Tai wears many hats, he is involved in military and political affairs in Taiwan, and he has his own channels for raising his own cane, and he is deeply valued by Daxingtai, and in terms of ability, he leads his new army to defeat Zhao Gui's veterans, such a general is simply impeccable, and people can't help but want to follow.

In the face of such an enthusiastic statement by the masses, Li Tai naturally smiled, but it is a pity that his current position qualifications do not allow him to accept more subordinates, and he can only express these goodwill and keep it in his heart.

In this year's parade, prompted by various factors, Li Tai finally had the feeling of raising his eyebrows, usually following the Daxing Taiyi to drive in and out, showing off his might, and when he was fine, his own soldiers and guards entered and exited the camps, and all the generals greeted each other with smiling faces, and no one dared not to give face wherever he went.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had more lofty ideals and goals, Li Tai would probably have to feel that there was nothing wrong with this big parade being held forever.

Of course, no matter what he thinks, reality doesn't stand still. Just as he was showing off his might on the Baishui Plateau, an urgent military order was sent from the Dongxia Prefecture guarded by Li Mu to Baishui: a large number of Jihu troops suddenly appeared along the river in the Dongxia Prefecture, coming straight to Guangwu City, the capital of Dongxia Prefecture, and were about to go south to raid the Heishui Defense City.

Knowing that he was about to be stolen, Li Tai naturally had no mood to continue to show off on Baishui Plateau, even if he asked Daxingtai for orders to fight and rush to northern Shaanxi.

Yu Wentai nodded in agreement, and after learning that the thieves were powerful, he sent more than 2,000 elites of the Sixth Army on the basis of Li Tai's original troops, and handed them over to Li Tai to lead them to Beizhou.
