0325 Appointed as a confidant

When everyone else withdrew, Li Tai first took the initiative to tell Duguxin about what happened in Luoyang County.

After listening to this, Dugu Xin was silent for a moment, and then looked at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Boshan, you are not paranoid and biased, I am not surprised by this. However, I am very pleased to be able to endure the momentary vigor and be willing to maintain the stability of the situation in this area.

Just a rebellious chieftain, even if he is caught on the spot, what is the pity? But this Yang Ling is always an old genus that Yuwen Leren relies on a lot, and it is always a pity to alienate each other because of this trivial matter.

Doing things must be capable, and controlling people needs to be thorough. Boshan, your affairs have been manifested in many ways, but there are also occasional domineering and worrying people, I am afraid that it is not enough. Now it seems that such miscellaneous thoughts are too much to worry about, and I am more confident that I will entrust this matter to you. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but sweat when he heard this, and it seemed that this old man was also quite worried that he might not be able to handle the relationship with his colleagues after he came to Qinzhou.

It's no wonder that although the relationship between them is getting closer, they don't really get along for a long time. And Li Tai has never been a sleek and angular-free image, so Duguxin is inevitably worried that he may not be able to control his emotions.

"Please rest assured, although I don't know the situation here, I also understand that all the tribes here are mixed, each has its own desires, and although the merger is easy to condense but difficult to condense, most of the things that are trying to do things are still in the hands of people. If you have more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, you should not complain about the masses and isolate yourself from others because of your own bravery. ”

Li Tai replied with a straight face, saying that he understood the human interests in this.

Dugu Xin nodded again and again when he heard this, looked at Li Tai and said with appreciation: "It is no longer superficial to be able to see this layer. The complexity of the situation on this side has been a long-standing illness. People's hearts are stubborn and untamable, and they are ready to move.

Since the king's hunt in the west, the country has been tired of making a living, and there is not enough national strength to use the open side for a long time, so only two or three capable ministers and wise men guard this side in order to be peaceful. Therefore, the fundamental thing in this side is to govern people, to control Han with Han, to control Hu with Hu, and to control each other with Han and Hu, so that they can be tired of fighting, so that their fighting spirit can be worn out and they are powerless to the outside world. ”

This should be the core policy of Duguxin to govern Longyou, and it is indeed a clever way to govern such a complex area.

The Western Wei court and the overlord were able to give very little support, and it was up to the defenders to raise forces to deal with various variables. Longbian is also a place where the Han and Hu are mixed and suitable for a long time, and it is almost impossible to deter all the Han and Hu armed forces by force alone, and it is almost impossible to do it, as strong as there are still hostile forces near the Jinyang Bafu that are not bent from Shihu and others.

However, one of the advantages of the various types of armed forces here is that the enmity between them far outweighs the contradictions with outsiders, and the already meager local resources make the competition between the locals based on survival and development far more fierce than in other regions. Let them live in harmony, maybe the gods and Buddhas can't do it, but if they let them fight each other, it can't be easier.

Being a referee outside of the fight is far more detached and relaxed than going out there and competing with everyone. In the moment when the struggle is inseparable, determine who wins and who loses, and if you are more responsible, you can help clean up the battlefield. As long as the implementation can be in place and the disputes and contradictions are controlled within a certain range, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Duguxin sat in Longbian for several years, although there were rebellions during the period, but most of them did not develop to the extent of getting out of control, and the situation of the whole Longyou was still stable and upward, which shows that this policy is also implemented in place.

However, such a control method seems to be a light weight, but in fact, there is an inevitable drawback, that is, the nostalgia and rural situation have been trapped in confrontation and internal friction for a long time, which is not conducive to the overall development of the region.

If it is only a part of the regime, if it is a separatist force itself, then it will consume itself without the need for others to attack. Excessive power and even unnegotiable kindness, seemingly skillful, but in fact there is no way.

In history, Duguxin sat in Longbian for many years, but was easily replaced by Yuwendao, aside from Yuwentai's means, Duguxin himself is not without flaws. That is, although he has been in town for many years, he has not been able to take root and has not established his own irreplaceability.

In fact, the complexity of the situation and disputes in Guanzhong is as complex as that of Longyou, but Yuwentai can control all parties and steadily improve his strength, which is of course related to his power position being more transcendent than Duguxin, but it must also be admitted that Yuwentai is the most outstanding political figure in this era, and his ability to control far exceeds that of the vast majority of Beizhen martial artists.

Of course, Li Tai would not declare these thoughts in his heart, and Dugu Xin told him these things only to tell him the tone of his actions in Longyou, not to ask for his opinion. Even if it is an intimate couple, you can't just say "you can't", let alone between Weng and son-in-law.

"Originally, Boshan, you have just entered the town, you should rest first and understand the situation before giving advice. But now the matter is so critical that there is no room for further delay. ”

When Dugu Xin said this, his expression also became serious: "In the middle of the month, Shi Ning appointed the news into the state, and Yuwen Zhonghe supported the people in the state city and refused to leave. In order to prevent him from fanning the people of the state to rebel, Shi Ning has already led the troops to take the lead and inspect the state border to appease the people.

Although there has been no shortage of people in the state who have written to surrender before, the specific situation is still unknown. Moreover, Yuwen Zhonghe had already infiltrated with Deng Yan in Guazhou, and it is also difficult to judge whether he will be extremely traitorous and lead Tu Gu into Kou Longxi.

No matter how the situation develops, it is always necessary to be prepared and prepared. Nowadays, everything is going on at the same time, there is a lack of talent everywhere, Boshan, you also don't have time to sit idle, here are a few things that need to be handled urgently, which one do you want to take over? ”

Li Tai only knows a brief outline of the Liangzhou Rebellion in this history, and he doesn't know much about the details. He only remembered that Dugu Xin led a large army into Liangzhou, and then ordered his subordinates to attack the city of Zhouzhou, and he himself led the people to launch an offensive from elsewhere, and the rebellion was successfully put down, and no greater disaster was caused.

But seeing that Dugu Xin's expression was serious, and he was still worried about whether Tuyuhun would be involved, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and wanted to do his part for this, so he took the book handed by Dugu Xin and browsed it carefully.

Most of the things recorded in this book are military affairs, such as visiting the Diqiang tribes to recruit men and horses, taking stock of the defense city arsenal and equipment warfare, and so on.

Although there are a lot of things and they are all very important, Li Tai looked around and found that there were few that were really suitable for him, and it was not that he was picky, there was only one reason, that is, he was not familiar with people and things.

There is no specific code of conduct here in Longyou, and the same thing is handed over to different people to do, and the results may be very different.

For example, recruiting the Qiang people and horses, if you change a general who is quite prestigious in the Zhuhu department, you may easily recruit tens of millions, but if Li Tai goes, he may be a rare horse, and he is really faceless.

What is Li Tai's situation, of course Dugu Xin understands, but he still handed Li Tai such a task list, obviously not to expect him to use his subjective initiative to choose a task that suits his own situation.

Therefore, after Li Tai browsed this book and understood the project a little, he did not bother to worry about what to choose, but directly handed over his hand and said to Dugu Xin: "Although he has just arrived, he is not afraid of difficulties, and he will definitely live up to his orders!" ”

When Dugu Xin heard this, he smiled again, and did not choose things from the book he handed to Li Tai, but patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everything in the house is busy, and I am also lacking in skills, so it is inconvenient to stay in the house for a long time, and it is difficult for people to enter here, so many things are delayed."

The arrival of Boshan can be said to have greatly alleviated my troubles, and you will stay in the house on my behalf, and you will decide everything that needs to be approved immediately, and those who cannot be decided can take advantage of all the plans or have someone write to me. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and said, "With such a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid I can't do it." I am quite unfamiliar with the personnel here, and if there is a mistake in the decision, it will be a great crime to affect the big things, and I really dare not take charge of the cardinal's weight, and I am willing to fill the battle with courage......"

"If people are not born to know it, how can they know everything? But as long as you don't lose the pros and cons, everything can be decided. If someone else rushes to leave the matter behind, I will indeed worry that I will not be able to fulfill my responsibilities. But Boshan, you are not ignorant of the world, and your previous resume is also rich and grand, I believe you will be able to do it here! ”

Dugu Xin also stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, and his eyes flashed a little deep and weird, and said with a sneer: "Some people think that my son-in-law is still short-sighted, and there are many evil schemes. I don't have to put my heart into words, I regard you as a confidant, if you need it, your career and life can be entrusted to you! ”

Although there is no sinister situation of life and death and life trust at the moment, after hearing Dugu Xin's statement, Li Tai couldn't help but be moved, not out of pros and cons but based on feelings of closeness to Dugu Xin.

The two sons-in-law have talked about this topic more than once, although they have their own statements, but it is difficult to say whether they have completely eliminated the mustard in their hearts. Dugu Xin proved with practical actions this time that he didn't mind Li Tai as his position of power and alternate, which made Li Tai both moved and relieved.

Li Tai knew that the symbolic significance of such an arrangement was greater than the practical significance, and in addition to himself, Dugu Xin of course had to arrange a staff member who was capable enough and trustworthy at the same time to assist him.

So he was no longer inhibited, and nodded directly in response: "Since my father-in-law has entrusted me with the matter, I will do my best to live up to the trust!" Qinzhou's affairs may not be greater than mine, but they will never be compromised to me! ”

Although this arrangement has made his shoulders have a sudden increase in responsibility, he has not experienced being alone, compared with the three defense cities that he built from scratch, Longyou is nothing more than more people and more things.

He even has a lot of plans for the emperor's position, and it is nothing to stay in Qinzhou, the only thing that is a pity is that if he stays in Qinzhou, the first-line credit for pacifying Liangzhou is obviously not mixed.

However, compared with the experience of being in charge of a large military state, this meritorious service on the battlefield is nothing, and when he submits the merit book to the imperial court later, it is all written by his own family, and he can naturally rank where he wants. Although Xiao He does not wear armor to go into battle, he is also the first in merit.

Dugu Xin saw that Li Tai was not afraid of taking responsibility, and he couldn't help but smile: "Tonight, let's rest early, and there will be no leisure time after taking over the government affairs tomorrow." ”
