Linghu Yanbao is in his early thirties and less than forty years old, and his physique is not particularly tall, but he has broad shoulders and long arms, and he is very eye-catching.

When the state official introduced it into the hall, he first looked up at Li Tai, then hurriedly lowered his head, and bowed in front of Li Tai with a big salute: "The servant ordered Hu Yan to visit Lang Jun, the old office of Dunhuang ruled the old country, although the servant was not in the world, but also deeply relicted, now here and now I am fortunate to worship Lang Jun in front of the table, Lang Jun has a unique demeanor, and the servant is also deeply honored." ”

Although the Li clan looked at Longxi, Li Tai and their branch arose in Hexi. The Xiliang regime established by Li Wei, the Taizu of Xiliang, was based on Dunhuang, and although the capital was later moved to Jiuquan, Dunhuang has always been the core ruling area of the Xiliang regime.

Xiliang itself was a secessionist regime composed of local clans and mainly composed of Hexi Han people, and the Dunhuang Linghu clan was also an important vassal of the Xiliang regime.

After the Western Liang perished in the confrontation with the Northern Liang, Li Tai's ancestor Li Bao established a regime in exile, and returned to the hometown of Dunhuang after the Northern Liang was defeated by the Northern Wei, and was named a vassal to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was named the Duke of Dunhuang, and soon after was called to settle in Pingliang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then integrated into the Shandong Shi clan under the leadership of Li Bao's young son Li Chong, and became one of the famous families in the world.

If it is calculated from this level of origin, it is reasonable for Linghu Yanbao to pay a visit to Li Tai as a disciple. But the problem is that Xiliang has been destroyed for so many years, and hundreds of years have passed since Li Bao left Dunhuang, how much binding force can such an old relationship between monarchs and ministers covered with sand and soil give people?

Of course, these stories can also bring each other closer, at least psychologically they will have more sense of identity than ordinary people, but this makes Hu Yanbao regard himself as a servant at the first sight and put his posture so low, which still makes Li Tai quite surprised.

Take himself as an example, although the people of the Li clan in Longxi Township are quite unfamiliar, they also have some psychological closeness, and they recognize Li Yunxin, the eldest grandson, but if Li Yunxin comes up and says that you are the grandson according to the generation, then he will still admit a fart!

Of course, Dunhuang Linghu is not an ordinary family, known as the crown of the Western Earth, and in the past series of riots in Guazhou, Linghu Yanbao's performance is enough to deserve such an evaluation, if it is not for his efforts, the current situation in Guazhou will be difficult to calm down.

Although he was quite suspicious in his heart, Li Tai didn't dare to be too big and really regarded himself as the other party's master, so he hurriedly stood up from the seat, and went down to the hall to help Linghu Yanbao up, looked at the other party and said with a smile: "The vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, it is already very gratifying to see the characters of the old country."

The general and I are both newcomers in this world, and it is useless to indulge in the past, and it is better to make friends with the present. The general's heroic deeds are not only limited to Hexi, but also well-known in Longyou, I also feel quite honored and honored, and I look forward to meeting the general! ”

Linghu Yanbao stood up, but waited until Li Tai returned to the table and sat down, and then he sat down, still with a humble smile on his face, and said to Li Tai with a fist: "Some deeds are not enough to worry about, but the ambition of Fengyi and Weidao comes from the education of the old country, and I dare not humble myself and belittle."

I know that today's visit is quite reckless, but I can't hold back my thirst for Lang Jun's heart. The former saw Ambassador Han Shizhong and his entourage outside the Yumen Pass, and when he asked for advice, he heard and relayed Lang Jun's virtuous voice, and his heart was already full of admiration. This time he was edicted to enter the country, so he wanted to follow Lang Jun to go with him, for fear of being left on the way, he traveled day and night......"

Li Tai knew that his current reputation and influence were not enough to radiate to the Hexi region, and the relationship between his ancestors alone was not enough for the other party to make such a humble gesture.

As the most outstanding representative of Guazhou today, Linghu Yanbao is obviously not a stubborn old man who is addicted to the old times, and every word and deed must have its profound considerations.

Previously, Han Bao and Li Xian proclaimed the counties of Hexi together, and Linghu Yanbao must have had a conversation with them. And the content of the conversation between these two people about themselves should greatly affect the attitude of Linghu Yanbao towards him at the moment.

Li Xian has always wanted to use the county prestige of the Li family in Longxi to elevate his family, and when facing the old officials of the Li family in Longxi in Hexi, Li Tailai was touted by Li Tailai, which is also a common operation.

As for Han Baozi's need to help Li Tai become famous, if there is any topic involved, it must be impossible to omit Li Tai's personal affairs, and it is very likely that it is his Sifang City and a series of plans to promote commerce.

In this way, although Linghu Yanbao and Li Tai have never known each other, they learned from Li Xian that Li Tai is now a rising political star in the Western Wei Dynasty, and learned from Han Bao that Li Tai has a rich bargaining chip and irreplaceable important role in the next Silk Road trade.

Political and economic resources are also the most important resources for a powerful family like the Hu clan that came out of the world and tried to get closer to the center of the Western Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the more earnest and respectful Linghu Yanbao's attitude towards Li Tai is, the deeper the thirst for these resources means.

Li Tai secretly thought about it in his mind, and he did not snub Linghu Yanbao, and after listening to his words, he said with a smile: "When you first enter a strange situation, people's hearts will inevitably hesitate. It's not that people are cowardly, it's just that they have a sense of reverence for people they don't know.

If you don't have a guide, it can be unsettling. I'm not afraid of the general laughing, in the old years, when I entered the customs with righteousness, I was unfamiliar with all the people, shy in front of people, relatives in the back, and uneasy for a long time. Fortunately, in Langya Gonghe, the love and care of the Grand Master, he was gradually able to gain a foothold in this and be diligent in the king's affairs, and now he has a shallow momentum......"

"It's not just shallow! Although the servant lives far away in the old land of Hexi, he has also heard a lot about Lang Jun's reputation. Lang Jun is not weak in the year, but he is already a member of the country, who is a scholar and a famous minister who is deeply relied on by the people inside and outside the imperial court! ”

Linghu Yanbao hurriedly spoke again, and his words did not hide his admiration and envy for Li Tai: "The servant has long teeth, and he relies on the joint efforts of his clan relatives and villagers to make a small contribution to the frontier, so he can see the expedition on the way, and he is happy and surprised in his heart, lest the border soldiers despise, or be abandoned because of this, and he has the expectations of the villagers, and he hopes to get the head of the horse, please use Lang Jun's command to make meritorious deeds and protect the reputation of the border soldiers." ”

Li Tai thought that Linghu Yanbao was just coming to visit and greet each other and be familiar with each other, but he didn't want the other party to reveal that he wanted to follow him, which surprised him again.

Last year, Guazhou was lost and recovered, and this year, the state people were in turmoil and were pacified, and Linghu Yanbao was the core figure in it, and it can even be said that if there was no him, the imperial court would probably no longer have Guazhou.

After all, Guazhou is too remote, and the cost of sending troops to quell the rebellion is too great, even if it is difficult to bear to send troops from Longyou.

The gains and losses of Guazhou not only mean whether the Western Wei regime can be powerful and subdued, but also not only the gains and losses of the Silk Road trade, but more importantly, it is related to the containment and resistance of the northern Zhuhu forces such as Rouran.

Being able to solve this major border problem at the lowest cost makes the contribution of Fox Extended Warranty not to be underestimated. Even when Li Tai and Li Mule returned to Beijing last year, the limelight of the victory in northern Shaanxi was completely overshadowed by the loss of Guazhou.

】

Linghu's family is the crown of the western soil, the township is abundant, and the long-term stability of Guazhou in the future will inevitably rely on its family, so in history, Yuwentai is also very preferential to Linghu Yanbao, giving surnames and names, and there are several sycophants recorded in history alone.

So when he heard Linghu Yanbao say that he wanted to follow him, Li Tai's subconscious reaction was not joy, but wondering if there was something wrong with this guy's head?

You're trying to do things in Guazhou, are you hugging my little thin legs? Yuwentai's two big hairy legs, isn't he fragrant? I'm so stabbed that I'm still reluctant to let go!

But seeing Linghu Yanbao's sincere expression, he was obviously not joking. After a little silence, Li Tai determined the fact that this made the Hu family have no suitable candidate to warm the bed for the powerful people in power in the Western Wei Dynasty!

In fact, the current situation of the Linghu family is similar to that of the Li family in Longxi, who was summoned to Pingliang by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The so-called identity of the Xiliang royal family is not much of a bonus to the Li family, and it is not very conspicuous among the many famous Han and Hu families in the Northern Wei Dynasty, after all, it still stands out by relying on a strong sense of service.

What can the crown of the western soil be counted when it reaches the eastern soil, to be honest, Linghu Yanbao is also a little drumming in his heart. Theoretically speaking, the gains and losses of Guazhou should be of great significance to the Western Wei Dynasty, but in the past few years, the attitude of the hegemony has been neither salty nor salty, and there is quite an open-mindedness that is not happy and sad.

The more uncertain you are, the more certainty you want to add. happened to meet such a suitable candidate as Li Tai, and of course Linghu Yanbao didn't want to miss it.

Of course, aside from these considerations based on pros and cons, the masses in Hexi generally have a feeling of nostalgia for the former lord Li clan in Longxi, after all, the reason why Li Wei was able to establish the Xiliang regime was because he was jointly elected by the Hexi clan. And when the Li family in Longxi became a first-class family famous all over the world, the people of Hexi also felt quite proud of it.

The last point, that is, Li Tai made Linghu Yanbao feel that he was a person worth following.

With his own strength, he has gained a very high position in Kansai in a short period of time, Han Bao, Li Xian and other high-ranking officials are full of praise and respect when they talk about him, and they have seen Li Tai treat people with maturity and stability, and he has an outstanding demeanor, which makes people break his heart, and he is the first young talent he has seen in his life.

Before coming to meet Li Tai, Linghu Yanbao also visited the state, saw the large-scale Sifang City, and also heard the extremely positive comments of the people of Qinzhou on Li Tai, as well as the atmosphere of those talented people competing for the staff, so when he saw and worshipped in front of the table, there was no embarrassment in his heart, only eagerness and expectation.
