The number of personnel in the Taifu hall has been greatly reduced, but the qualifications and meritorious deeds are very stiff. Li Taidu already has the feeling of a new boss, but when he sits among these people, he can't help but feel weak and shy.

Li Bi and a few others couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Li Tai who walked in behind some Hui, and they were a little surprised that Li Tai was able to participate in the next small meeting.

But Yu Jin was in the hall at the beginning of this morning, and after a little thought, he thought that the intention of leaving Li Tai behind by Daxingtai was nothing more than the ability to make money and accumulate things, especially at the moment when the Eastern Wei Dynasty was drastic and Henan was about to be in chaos, Li Tai's ability and role in this regard were undoubtedly more prominent and more important.

So when Li Tai walked in, Yu Jin stood up and took the initiative to invite him to sit with him.

When this kid sued in front of Daxingtai before, Yu Jin was a little biased, but now the situation has changed, when this time is employed, even Daxingtai himself may not blindly support his nephew Yuwen Sabao, Yu Jin naturally has no need to be a bad guy again.

What's more, this kid has grown up so fast that even Yu Jin has to look sideways, and he doesn't dare to boast that he can ignore him, and if nothing else, this kid can obviously live longer than himself, and there is no need to cause any hidden dangers to his children and grandchildren. The afterlife is terrifying, and it's not a big deal to avoid it.

Looking at Yu Jin's appearance, Li Tai felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and sighed in his heart that it was no wonder that the arrogant soldiers always had to raise their own respect, although this Hou Jing was not raised by him, but when he made a fuss, the importance of a person like himself with real materials was suddenly strengthened. So after thanking Yu Jin, he sat down.

After a while, Yuwentai walked into this hall, his eyes were shining, his face was flushed with excitement, and he was a little less disguised when facing these core subordinates in the hall, and before he could sit down, he high-fived him with his fist and said again and again: "God help me, God help me!" ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and to be honest, he also felt that in the process of Yuwentai and Gao Huan's confrontation, Yuwentai really had the taste of heaven's blessing, especially the key steps and many coincidences, which were almost beyond the scope of manpower, and they were simply fucking rushing to send.

Just now, there were many people in the hall who had mixed eyes and had no time to ask in detail, and at this time, Yuwen Taicai carefully asked Li Yuan about the specific situation in Hebei today. When he heard Li Yuan say that Hou Jing had actually occupied the land of Henan Prefectures, Yu Wentai couldn't help but smile again.

It must be known that the meaning of controlling the states is different from actually controlling the states, and Hou Jing was able to control the Henan states, essentially because of the position of Henan Daxingtai granted by Gao Huan, but now that he has betrayed the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the power he obtained from Gao Huan before will naturally no longer exist.

How much influence his people have in Henan depends on how powerful and their means are. If the original subordinates were besieged from all sides at the beginning of the incident, it would really not be of much significance.

A combat map centered on the Heluo region was spread out flat, and the drawing of the map was naturally not as accurate as that of later generations, but it also marked the prefecture and county garrisons and the geography of mountains and rivers in the region.

Although Li Tai has memories from later generations as a reference, it is also the first time that he has intuitively seen the demarcation line between the Eastern and Western Wei forces in today's territory in real time, so he also watched it very seriously when he stood aside.

Before the Battle of Bishan, the Western Wei still enjoyed a great advantage in the Heluo area, and many areas, including Luoyang, were in the hands of the Western Wei army and the local heroes who depended on the Western Wei. It is precisely because of this that Gao Zhongmi, who was far away in the tiger prison, chose to surrender to the Western Wei, and the Western Wei also responded in time.

However, after the Battle of Bishan, the Western Wei lost most of its control over the Heluo region, and almost all of the east of Tongguan was owned by the Eastern Wei, with only a small number of strongholds between Luoshui and Yishui in the south of Tongguan.

In the past few years, the focus of the work of the Huazhou Hegemony has been mainly on internal military and political rectification. Li Yuan, who was in western Henan, only kept the situation from continuing to deteriorate, but did not have enough strength to regain control of the Heluo region.

As for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing's dominance over Henan became more and more obvious, and even if he made any strategic moves, it was to establish and strengthen his own authority, rather than starting from the strategic interests of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so he only stopped at a superficial level.

On this map, although Yangzhou between Yiluo and Luozhou where Luoyang is located are still within the territory of the Western Wei, in fact, the main control is still in the Eastern Wei.

And in fact, on the map of the Western Wei Dynasty, there is no Yangzhou at all, and Luozhou is still called Sizhou, and Luozhou is governed by Yiyang County. Because the renaming of Sizhou to Luozhou was carried out by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty naturally did not recognize it, and the Luozhou of the Western Wei Dynasty referred to the Shangluo region.

Li Tai didn't know much about this series of place name changes, mainly because he was a little dazed and patiently explained to him.

At the beginning of Hou Jing's uprising, Sima Shiyun, the assassin of Yingzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, responded according to the city, while Hou Jing lured the history of Yuzhou, Xiangzhou, and Guangzhou. Coupled with the Sizhou and Northern Yuzhou recovered by Hou Jing after the Battle of Bishan, then in the eyes of the Western Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing actually controlled the land of these six states.

On the map, these places happened to be centered on the Heluo area, and Guangzhou, Xiangzhou, Yuzhou, Yingzhou, and Northern Yuzhou formed an encirclement to encircle Sizhou, where Luoyang was located.

In other words, if Hou Jing's surrender was accepted, not only would the Heluo region lost in the Battle of Bishan be regained, but a whole circle of buffer zone would also be granted.

This piece of meat is really fatty, and people can't help but move their index fingers just by hearing it, and the temptation can be said to be directly full! Even Li Tai couldn't help but feel excited, let alone Yu Wentai.

Emperor Xiaowu was the last emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty to remain unified, and his people fled to Guanxi, bringing the legal system of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Guanxi. Therefore, the "Zizhi Tongjian" refers to the west as Wei, and the east as the Eastern Wei.

The legal orthodoxy of the Western Wei Dynasty allowed Yuwentai to establish a foothold in Guanxi and form a hegemonic regime, but at the same time, it also brought him a responsibility, that is, to recover the old capital of Luoyang.

On the other hand, the Eastern Wei Dynasty's demand for this aspect was reduced, and the infamous Gao Huan who ran away from the king was bearable anyway, so there was no need for Luoyang to be attacked and defended, and under the persuasion and supervision of the Hebei clans, the capital was simply moved to Yecheng.

Therefore, in this battlefield centered on Heluo, the overall grand strategic policy, the Western Wei Dynasty is actually in a very passive position. The two wars of Heqiao and Pishan both reflected the desire of the Western Wei Dynasty to occupy the Heluo region for a long time.

The Eastern Wei side was much more calm, using Heyang as a large base for the attack and defense of the river, and then using Hou Jing and other generals to form an outflanking of the Heluo area in Henan, so that they could wait for the Western Wei to take the bait and step into this trap.

However, now Hou Jing in Henan is raising troops to rebel, regardless of whether he has the sincerity to defect to the Western Wei Dynasty, it means that the strategic suppression of the Eastern Wei in the Heluo area against the Western Wei is self-defeating.

"Therefore, what Master Heba said before his death moved with the times, this is true! Now that the thieves are in turmoil, it is a good opportunity for me to make a big move, what do you and others think about this, you can speak freely! ”

After understanding the current situation in detail, Yu Wentai said with a smile to everyone.

This question also shows that Yuwentai is eager to change the status quo, first set a tone of "big and big", and then ask for everyone's opinions, what is asked is nothing more than where to get in, if it doesn't meet this theme, then you can hold it yourself.

Li Tai frowned slightly when he saw Yu Jin and Li Bi when they heard this, obviously they were not as optimistic as Yu Wentai in their hearts, as for whether they were worried about Hou Jing or other reasons, it was unknown.

The first to speak was Li Yuan, who was worthy of the choice of the henchmen of Daxingtai, stood up and said generously: "The minister has been in western Henan for a long time in recent years, and he has heard that the righteous people in his hometown have regretted the defeat of the former of the king and the teacher. The minister is willing to lead the department as the pioneer of the division, and wait to see what happens after the army settles in Luoyang. ”

He didn't mention the old things in Bishan, but this statement provided an angle for others to object. As soon as his words fell, Yu Jin got up and said: "Hou Jing is cunning and vicious, he is good at conspiracy and power, and today's drastic changes are all his own whispers, and it is really unknown how it is." The old teachers returned to the country in frustration, so that the feelings of the people were scattered, and now although the momentum has recovered, it is still not appropriate to rush in. ”

When Yu Jin finished stating his opinion, Li Bi also spoke: "The minister has heard that the past has not forgotten, and the teacher of the future." In the old year, the Duke of Hanoi opened the mansion and the king of Xianyang first entered Luoyang, and Yingyu, Xiangguang and other states successively attached to it, and the momentum was not strong.

However, when the thief army came to attack on a large scale, it was still inevitable that it could not be defended, and people could not be trusted, and it was necessary to be reinforced by the army in the country, but it had lost the opportunity. Although the land of Henan is chaotic now, the defense of Heyang is still not solved, and it is not a wise plan to venture into Luoyang. ”

The two generals successively expressed their opposition to sending troops at this time, Yu Jin directly expressed his distrust of Hou Jing, while Li Bi analyzed the current situation, believing that the key to advancing Luoyang did not lie in Henan, but in Heyang, and at this time the troops entering Luoyang were likely to attract the attention of the Eastern Wei Dynasty here, so as to share the pressure on Hou Jing and relieve him.

Yu Wentai also attached great importance to the opinions of these two people, and after hearing them say this, he also frowned and pondered, and after a while, his eyes fell on Li Tai's body, and he said: "The general and the captain are both steady and respectful of the country, which is alarming. In addition, I would like to hear what Xingong Shaojin thinks about this? ”

Li Tai sat in the seat, originally only planned to listen to the views and attitudes of these upper-level bigwigs on this matter, but he was not ready to speak, when he heard Yu Wentai directly ask him by name, he was also a little flustered for a while, and he was busy straightening his sitting posture and quickly sorting out the thoughts in his heart.

In fact, no matter what reason Yu Jin and Li Bi objected, it reflected that they, the top-level generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, were more vigilant than surprised about Hou Jingtoucheng. The reason is also very simple, that is, the equity distribution is not easy to handle.

From Yu Wentai's point of view, even if Hou Jing brings capital into the shares, it will only expand this career, and will not affect and change the fact that he is the center. But for others, the difference is huge.

Even the Eastern Wei Dynasty's big plate couldn't accommodate Hou Jing, a guy with wolf ambitions, and if the Western Wei Dynasty wanted to successfully accept him, how much political status and privileges would they have to give him? How many people would have to cede their power in order to make room for Hou Jing in the camp?

Not to mention Yu Jin's level of Li Bi, even the current Li Tai thinks about it himself, and he feels that accepting Hou Jing with open arms will bring some damage to his rights and interests.

Yu Wentai deliberately named Li Tai, probably to hear something new, but he may be disappointed.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Li Tai said: "The minister has little understanding of the situation in Henan, but since the lord is asking, he will say it in vain. Today, the Chinese and foreign camp laws are newly established, and most of the Kansai children are new to the military, and they seem to be well-trained, but I am afraid that they will lack the opportunity to change.

The great change is imminent, although the veterans do not dare to have a firm plan, the new soldiers are timid to leave their hometowns, and they may be shocked and uneasy when they encounter a little adversity.

The scenery is attached, neither driven by morality, nor poor and begging, but a thief who rebels against the Lord may be difficult to stand on his own, in order to protect himself expediently, when the situation changes, it will be easier than to go, capricious.

Although the gap between the enemy is a good opportunity to win, but now its momentum is not exhausted, insincere, rather than rashly responding, it is better to be strong inside, observe the situation outside, raise a knife and draw a bow to watch the snipe mussels. ”

Compared with Jin and Li Bi's deduction and judgment based on the current situation, Li Tai, who understands the subsequent trend of events, is naturally more sure of what to do next, so he put forward a new angle, that is, the military literacy of these Kansai people at the moment may not be enough to face the turbulent and rapidly changing chaos in Henan in the next situation.

Hearing that Li Tai did not approve of sending troops immediately, Yu Wentai's brows furrowed even deeper, he originally felt that it should be a God-given opportunity, but how could there be so many things to worry about in the mouths of everyone?

Sometimes people have different statuses and perspectives, and they do have completely different views and feelings about a thing.

Although Li Tai is not the entrepreneurial veteran of the Western Wei Dynasty, he is the biggest vested interest under the Guanzhong standard system, so all his enterprising ideas and ideas are centered on Guanzhong, and he is really not interested in returning to Heluo, and at this stage, he has no need and intention to invest the manpower and material resources in Guanzhong to the bottomless pit of Henan.

Even if Yuwentai wanted to appoint him as the Great Governor of Henan and send him over to fully accept Hou Jing's forces, he would not agree. It's not a question of whether he can hold it, but the current Henan is out of line with all his previous plans and arrangements.

"What you said is not unreasonable, the city of Luoyang has long been dilapidated, and the residents are scattered, and it is difficult to hold on to it. The thieves are in chaos, and the defeat has not yet been revealed, so it is indeed inappropriate to lightly put the power between the jackals who are fighting each other. ”

Although Yu Wentai is still a little unwilling in his heart, but all the core members of the overlord are here, and their respective opinions also need to be paid attention to, after all, there is an internal harmony in front of the time, if you can't even achieve stability and unification within yourself, then it is really not appropriate to rashly interfere in the civil strife of other families.

When Li Yuan heard Daxingtai say this, his expression was visibly lost, so he spoke again: "The envoy sent by Hou Jing is still waiting for a reply in Dongzhen, what should the minister do?" ”

Although it is not suitable to give the other party a positive answer directly at the moment, it is not appropriate to directly refuse his request, Yu Wentai pondered for a while and then said: "This matter is very important, far from being easy for the Taiwan government to decide, I will enter the court on the same day, if things go well, I will ask for the honor of honor!" ”

This is to make a fuss and make a mistake and hang Hou Jing first to watch the further development and change of the situation.

Although Li Yuan was a little disappointed, he could only nod his head and agree, although the garrison areas in western Henan that he was in charge of did not seem to be small, but the troops were not strong, and it was okay to maintain the current situation, but he really lacked the strength to enterprising.

Although the army of the Eastern Dynasty returned from the defeat of Yubi, its foundation was not damaged, and there would be a large army in Heyang at any time to go south to conquer, if there was no continuous reinforcement and support from the army in the country behind the road, although Li Yuan was brave and good at fighting, he did not dare to enter Luoyang easily.

Although this meeting did not reach any exciting advance plan, it can be regarded as basically determining the line of thought and policy in the face of this turmoil in the east, that is, not to take the initiative and not to refuse, just like a sea king, you will get cheap and slip away if you are in trouble.

Just when everyone thought that today's meeting was going to end here, Yu Wentai pointed to Li Tai and said: "Boshan Chen Yan is a strong soldier, and he is honest and contingency. If there is a shortage of staff in the government, the lieutenant and the secretary will discuss and decide, and make up for it as soon as possible! ”

When everyone heard this, they all glared at Li Tai, with a look of envy in their eyes, and Li Tai was also a little flattered for a while, and hurriedly got up and said: "The minister must live up to the favor of the lord and do his best to train the rear army into a combatable army as soon as possible!" ”

Yuwentai also laughed when he heard this, and then said: "I know that your wedding date is approaching, but when I am employing people today, I don't have time to release you back to the township, I believe that with your talent, you can do both public and private care, don't let Da Sima come to complain about me." ”

Li Tai was also happy when he heard this, and said in his heart, you gave me such a good opportunity to clean up my brother Sabao, and my daughter-in-law also had to wait for a while!
