0449 Unification can be expected
Li Tai already had a guess in his heart, of course he didn't want to miss such a big event, and when he saw the people in and out of the hall, he stood up first and stood on one side.
Li Yuan, who had been waiting outside, strode up to the hall, first saluted the big platform sitting in the hall, and then greeted Yu Jin and the others in turn, and when his eyes fell on Li Tai, he first showed a little surprise, and then nodded with a smile.
When Li Tai saw this, he also responded to Li Yuan, speaking of which, the first person he met with these three brothers was Li Yuan in front of him, but now the most strange person is Li Yuan. The other two brothers, Li Xian and Li Mu, have a good relationship with Li Tai, and have also conspired to work together, especially Li Mu, who even has his son still raised in his own house.
As early as the eve of the Battle of Bishan, when Li Yuan was ordered to go to the Tiger Prison to meet Gao Zhongmi, Li Tai met him, but since then there has been no chance to work with him again.
Now that he has completely gained a firm foothold in Western Wei, he no longer needs to rely on the forces that borrowed Li Yuan, but he has to beware of Li Yuan, a guy who will draw a knife to chop his father-in-law soon.
Yu Wentai was also extremely enthusiastic about this henchman who had just returned to the country, and personally stood up and lowered the rank to greet him, not to mention the matter, first asked Li Yuan if he had eaten, and when he knew that he had returned from the day and night and had no time to eat, he immediately drank and ordered the servants to quickly serve food and drink into the hall, and he also rolled up his sleeves and turned into a meat-cutting brother again.
When Li Tai saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, looking at the posture of his own boss, even if he can't compete for the world, there is no problem in setting up a barbecue stall to support his family.
Taking advantage of Li Yuan's meal, many people were summoned into the hall from all over the Taiwan government, all of whom were important military and political officials of the Taiwan government. In particular, several major governors of the newly reorganized Chinese and foreign armies were all present.
Yuwen Hu also entered the hall with his cousin He Lanxiang, and after his gaze lingered on Li Tai for a moment, he quickly turned to the side, looking blind to Li Tai.
Li Tai was still immersed in the deduction of the development of the current situation, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Yuwen Hu. But after seeing Yuwen Hu's appearance, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He knew that no matter what the result was this time, he would be regarded as offending Yuwen Hu, but he would not bother himself because of this. Not to mention that there is still a long time before Yuwen Hu is in power and life and death are arbitrary, even if that day comes, Li Tai will never be restrained and let others slaughter him.
It's not that his prestige has surpassed Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui, but there is an essential difference in the foundation of each other. What's more, even if it entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty from the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not a unified regime, and Yuwen Hu, a hegemonic minister, was at best just a nest.
The friendship between each other turned bad, but it was not anyone's loss. Yuwen Hu is not a stubborn person at the moment, but the small amount of qi makes people a little uncomfortable.
In previous years, although Li Tai's talent was exposed, his power and prestige were inferior to others, and they could get along with each other amicably, but as Li Tai rose to prominence and even surpassed Yuwen Hu, this relationship was not easy to maintain. Or if he still wants to continue to be friends, Li Tai has to redouble his care and take care of Yuwenhu's inner feelings.
But even between men and women, it has to be a two-way love to be the most beautiful. If there are still a lot of concerns and taboos between friends, it will be too shocking. If there are various factors such as power and interests, it will make the relationship doubly difficult, and it is inevitable that they will gradually drift apart and eventually break off the friendship completely.
With all the important civil and military officials in Huazhou City entering the palace, and other people who were far away from the city could not come back for a while, this meeting officially began.
Yu Wentai glanced around at everyone in the hall, and even announced a big piece of good news, Gao Huan died!
As the news was announced, a series of exclamations and discussions suddenly sounded in the hall, and the faces of all the civil and military officials showed surprise and joy, with a little doubt and disbelief.
A person's position in the situation is probably determined by the reaction of the opponent to the situation.
Li Tai looked at the shocked and suspicious appearance of everyone in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh that although Gao Huan failed to completely unify the entire north, he was also a well-deserved protagonist of the times in this period.
The mutiny in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to this regime, which had been deeply corrupted internally despite the unification of the north for many years.
Erzhurong can be said to be the lucky one of the times, and his power is located between the town soldiers and the imperial court, and his people also serve as the buffer and communication hub between the two, but because of his short-sightedness and arrogance, the hegemony of the Erzhu clan was finally buried.
Gao Huan was not the protagonist of Destiny, and even after the Six Towns Mutiny, he was neither as resolute as those who dared to resist, nor as brave as the defenders of order such as the Huba brothers.
All he has is a restless heart, pretentious, unwilling to be lonely, but he can't find the right goal at all, like a headless fly running around, except for being handsome and loving to toss, it can be said that he is useless.
Gao Huan's personal resume can be described as a microcosm of the changes in the people of the entire Six Towns. They are also restless, they are full of desire, and they also want to change their own circumstances through struggle, but because they have no way to do it, they will only cause more harm, hurt others and hurt themselves, and hurt the world even more.
It wasn't until Er Zhu Zhao handed over the remnants of the Six Towns to Gao Huan's hands that they seemed to meet each other like fate, and they were united and never abandoned, and it only took a very short time to rise rapidly, almost miraculously from the marginal figures in the world to the absolute center of the situation!
Gao Huan's personal struggle process is the process of change of the townspeople of the six towns in the torrent of this era. To a certain extent, Gao Huan represents the six towns, and the six towns have also achieved Gao Huan!
Although the influential figures in the six towns during this period were also endless, there was also Gao Huan's destined rival Yu Wentai.
But including Yuwentai, none of them are as comprehensive as Gao Huan's representation of the Six Towns. Even if He Batyue, who became famous earlier than Gao Huan, what he represents is only the protection of order by the town soldiers.
Therefore, from the Six Towns Mutiny in the Zhengguang period to the end of the Yubi War last year, the entire north can be called the Gaohuan era. It's not that he is the strongest man of this era, but that his life is the most typical representative of this era, and he has achieved the most brilliant success in life.
Li Tai was not the only one in the hall who sighed in his heart after hearing the news, there were many old people from Beizhen present, and their expressions were also quite complicated, not just the simple joy of hearing that the strong enemy had been killed, it was estimated that they were all mixed feelings.
Gao Huan's death can be said to mark the end of an era, marking that the soldiers of Beizhen will gradually fade out of the center stage of history.
Needless to say, after the end of the Battle of Bishan, many Beizhen military leaders were gradually reduced to empty shelves, and the new government military system will completely replace the old Xianbei military system, both in terms of organizational structure and organizational members.
As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, although there is still a strong foundation of Xianbei in Liuzhou, it should be more accurate to call them with the new concept of "Jinyang Xungui".
The taste of belonging to Beizhen is becoming less and less, even if the personnel are as yesterday, but the core has been, or is undergoing profound changes. Even the heirs of Gao Huan's career are gearing up and can't wait to build a new order.
The old does not go, the new does not come. At the same time, if you just blindly nostalgia and refuse to face up to and accept the emergence of new things, then you will eventually be abandoned with the times.
What made the crowd present suspicious was not only the news itself, but also the source of the news.
The relevant information was not transmitted back from Jinyang, but from Hou Jing's office in Henan. At the same time, it also brought an even more exciting news, that is, Hou Jing raised troops to rebel, betrayed the Eastern Wei and asked the Western Wei to surrender!
Rao is Li Tai knew about this development, but when he heard Yu Wentai's agitated tone announcing the news, and the crowd present exclaimed in an almost uniform manner, he couldn't help but feel a bad sense in his heart: Look at you who have never seen the world, you don't know what kind of impact and change Hou Jing will bring to the situation in the whole world!
Of course, the next development has nothing to do with seeing the world or not, it is completely testing the imagination of people in all the current situations. In particular, Xiao Bodhisattva, with his profound Buddhism and broad mind, proved and practiced the feasibility of physical sanctification to the world!
Not to mention the various evil thoughts in Li Tai's heart, Yuwentai announced the news, and Li Yuan, who hurriedly returned from western Henan, confirmed that Hou Jing had indeed erected an anti-flag, and everyone present immediately talked about it.
If the news of Gao Huan's death is really difficult to discern, and even if it is confirmed, it will not immediately bring real changes to the situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, then the impact of Hou Jing's betrayal of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is much more direct.
In last year's Battle of Yubi, Hou Jing was originally ordered by Gao Huan to lead the Henan people to the north to join the division, but he directed and acted a trick of escaping, retreating to Heyang City and watching Gao Huan's army return, and then Hou Jing also led his troops back to the Tiger Prison City on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The reason why Hou Jing dared to disobey Gao Huan's orders, and even rebelled openly now, is, of course, inseparable from the development of his own power.
Gao Huan was already deep in the city, and of course he would not be absolutely at ease with Hou Jing, and when he appointed him to Henan, he also imposed various personnel constraints and restrictions to divide and balance his authority.
But with the passage of time, these personnel settings have gradually lost their original role. In the Battle of Bishan, Gao Zhongmi surrendered Northern Yuzhou to Western Wei, which further overdrew the personnel accumulation left by the Hebei clan in Henan after Gao Aocao's death.
Although Gao Huan is superior in scheming, he also has to say that the times will arrange corresponding opportunities for everyone and manpower is difficult to change, although he has frequent means, Hou Jing is still under his attention and gradually becomes larger than Henan. When Gao Huan planned to launch the Battle of Yubi last year, he had to publicly admit Hou Jing's powerful position in Henan and officially awarded him as Henan Daxingtai.
Therefore, when the generals learned the news of Hou Jing's rebellion, they were all excited, which meant that the situation in the entire Central Plains and the surrounding areas would change dramatically. And whenever turmoil comes, it is naturally an opportunity for these generals to perform and make contributions.
Therefore, several major governors of the Chinese army hugged their fists and asked for battle, and even Yuwen Hu, who was sitting at the same table with He Lanxiang, was a little flushed with excitement, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he could really let him go to the battlefield.
However, these generals mainly aimed at the Heluo region, hoping to take advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the time when they were too busy to raise troops to the east to recover the Heluo territory abandoned in the previous Battle of Bishan.
However, for Hou Jing's request for surrender and help, they were not very enthusiastic, and they did not even receive this message effectively, so they could not talk about whether they trusted it or not.
After all, the Chinese army of the hegemony was newly created, and in this process, Li Tai made contributions all the way, and was promoted from a mere white body to one of the current hussar Kaifu and one of the four major governors of the Chinese army. Of course, these generals, who also commanded the Chinese army and horses, also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the team and take advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Wei Dynasty to create meritorious achievements.
But while the new governors were belligerent, others present had different attitudes and opinions.
Yu Jin, Li Bi and other senior generals did not rush to express their positions, and Changsun Jian and other subordinate officials of the Taiwan government hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them, and they were not war-weary and cowardly, but the current financial savings of the Taiwan government did not support a large-scale military operation at all, especially when the situation was still unclear and the course and outcome of the war were unpredictable, and it was even more dangerous to rashly start a war.
Originally, these problems did not need to be told to the governors and generals present, but Changsun Jian and others were also worried that the audience in Daxingtai would be hot-headed under the eager agitation of the war, so they could only count the current situation of the Taiwan government's various material savings and urgency, as if a basin of cold water was poured on everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall was visibly cooled down.
At this time, another governor stood up and said: "Last year, Governor Li Dadu led troops across the river and attacked Jinyang directly, and the government did not allocate too many supplies before the attack. We also know the art of war of feeding the enemy with war and feeding the enemy with food, but if we make the army rush into Heluo, why should we have no food to eat......
Yuwentai was still hesitating, but after hearing this, he immediately made up his mind not to rush in, Gao Huan died of illness and Hou Jing rebelled, but they instructed a group of poor soldiers to go to Heluo to burn and loot, didn't this force the people of Henan to take refuge in the opposite side? Who is the enemy? You guy was sent from the other side to engage in the united front!
"Today's events are temporarily told to you, the East Thief has gradually shown a state of poverty, and great unification can be expected. But before the matter is decided, they still need to be careful about what they do, wait for the order, and not relax! ”
The more people there are, the more difficult it is to form a consensus decision, and it is difficult for Yuwentai to convene the masses to enter here, and to share the good news with the masses.
Therefore, after the news was announced, he motioned for everyone to return to their duties, and those who attended the next meeting should first go to the other hall to wait. When he saw that Li Tai was still looking left and right in the middle of the banquet, he raised his hand and said, "Don't you go out with Changle Gong soon!" ”
