0554 Brilliant as a river
Caiyang is located in the northeast of Xiangyang, and can be reached dozens of miles away by crossing the Han River to the east, but it belongs to the Southern Yongzhou of the Western Wei Dynasty.
There is a section of water flowing through this area, the river is winding and sandbars, and the topography gives people a complex and changeable feeling, and it is inconvenient for a large group of people to advance and retreat.
After the onset of winter, the Han River flows slowly, but there is no ice. On this day, hundreds of soldiers boarded one of the sandbanks on a ferry, cleared several acres of sandbars, harvested and cut down all the dry reeds and trees, and made the view on the sandbar wider.
Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, climbed this sandbar surrounded by his subordinates, looked around, and was quite satisfied with the environment.
"King Qiyu, there can be a thousand people on the sandbank, and five hundred well-armored crossbowmen can be placed in the cabins of each ship. If something happens, you can send a beacon to the police, and 2,000 elite horsemen will immediately rush here to help......
Wang Cao, a member of the palace army, followed behind King Yueyang, carefully and carefully introducing the various security preparations made for this appointment.
After hearing this, King Yue Yang was quite satisfied, but after a while, he said, "All kinds of arrangements are just for preparedness, so Li Boshan naturally won't have bad intentions towards me, and he will be worried when he sees that there are too many people on the sandbank. There are only five hundred men left here, and the rest will be scattered in the cabins and on the shore."
"This appointment is already a bit risky, and the king's health is at stake. That Li Boshan can be called a famous general among all the fierce soldiers in the captivity, which is really not to be underestimated."
Wang Cao was still a little uneasy, so he spoke again.
"Li Boshan is a famous family, like a Confucian general who is good at Taoism, so naturally he doesn't need to fight in person. Besides, even if they have combat skills, there are many of my disciples who are good at this."
King Yue Yang pointed to the servants beside him quite confidently, he recruited many guests, and there was naturally no shortage of people who were good at fighting against each other.
What's more, in addition to the powerful guards under his command, King Yueyang himself is also quite heroic, so he dared to lead more than 3,000 elite soldiers to hunt sheep and enter the enemy territory to go to the appointment.
Because he arrived a day earlier than the agreed place, King Yueyang first inspected the river island for a week, and then returned to the shore camp to rest for the night.
Early the next morning, King Yueyang led his troops to climb the sandbank. Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the west bank, and several horsemen were seen looking along the shore, thinking that they were scouts sent from the north, and after inspecting the situation, they turned their horses and headed north, and soon disappeared from view.
King Yue Yang looked at the departing backs of these scouts, and a trace of envy flashed on his face. Although he led more than 2,000 cavalry to this point, most of the war horses used were short Shu horses, and even if there were a few Longyou horses, it was difficult to form a formation. On the other hand, due to the geographical convenience, even the mounts ridden by the scout pawns are very powerful. And its overall cavalry and archery ability is far beyond the reach of the southerners, and it is often passive when fighting.
He sighed here with emotion, so he was reminded by his subordinates, telling him that there was movement on the north side of the sandbar, and then he walked forward.
At this time, there was still a mist on the river, and a ferry boat slowly sailed out of the northwest bend of the river, with dozens of armored soldiers on board standing on both sides, each holding a lance and a knife. And in the midst of these strong soldiers, there stood a young man who was also tall, with a black veil and a white fur coat.
"This one is ......."
Cai Dabao, who was on the side of the entourage, was about to open his mouth to introduce, but was stopped by King Yueyang raising his hand, he just stared at the gradually approaching ship.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, King Yue Yang also saw the faces of the people on the boat clearly, seeing his handsome appearance, majestic appearance, and being surrounded by all the elite soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at Li Renluo's demeanor before, I expect that his family inheritance should be good. Looking at his son now, he is indeed blue. The spirit has been refined, and the momentum is even more superior, no wonder Liu Fanggui and others are frustrated and abandon their weapons, if the river has a god, I think this is the state!"
At this time, the boat had not yet docked, and King Yueyang's words were not touting to please the other party. Nanren has always admired people and objects, and it is also customary for him to make this discussion, and he gives an evaluation and positioning to those who meet for the first time.
Li Tai naturally didn't know that the Emperor of Western Liang compared himself to the god of the river, and when the boat slowly approached the sandbar and stopped, he stepped off the boat, and his eyes naturally fell on the crowd
On the body of the king of Yueyang, he walked a few steps quickly and raised his hand and said with a smile: "The king has been famous for a long time, and today he is finally fortunate to see the heroic posture, if the majesty is like this, it is difficult for Shi Yu to say three points!"
When King Yue Yang heard this, he also smiled, and took a few steps forward to put his hands on Li Tai's elbow, and sighed in his mouth: "The former Li Dadu supervised the troops under the city, which made my people panic and uneasy, but now he says that I have a prestige, do I think I can't help it?"
"The soldiers did not dare to enter the city, and the king was majestic and did not dare to be disrespectful."
Li Tai replied again, thinking of the other party's previous gifts, he didn't mind lowering his posture.
When the two of them were politely greeting here, the entourage had quickly set up the felt tent curtain, and Li Tai was ashamed that as a landlord, he was lagging behind the distinguished guests, and only after the polite words were enough, they went into the tent together and sat down.
Because this appointment with King Yueyang was a request for someone, and it was a secret meeting that was not public, King Yueyang did not put on any diplomatic rhetoric and posture to respond to people, and after sitting down, the atmosphere was slightly paved, and then he directly led the topic to the target here: "The former wrote to Governor Li Dadu, and he was presumptuous, just because he liked the current things in the township of Governor Li, so that his feelings were out of control, and he asked Governor Li Dadu to forgive me.
I feel that I am the supreme body of the king, and I regret that I am in this world. The former I am also trapped in knowledge, and now that I know it, I should be sorry for me, and serve food to my dearest. I also know that it is not easy to cherish and gather this material resources, but this is the same as the righteousness of Governor Li's longing to see his kindness, and I hope that Governor Li can help fulfill this long-cherished wish."
Hearing that this guy even said the rhetoric of moral kidnapping, Li Tai suddenly felt happy in his heart, knowing that the other party was still using his grandfather as a disguise, and it was convenient to explain both internally and externally.
It must be known that it is taboo for Bian Jiang to have private contact with outsiders at all times, and Li Tai used a five-year plan to get the boss to relax his restrictions in this regard, which Xiao Jing obviously did not have the right to communicate and interact with foreign forces.
In the past, they were intimidated by Li Tai's strong military strength, and there was still an excuse to rebuild border harmony and maintain border stability. But now that the topic of trade and trade has been involved, if you want to attack it without being noticed, you can reduce the risk by making a name for him to collect treasures for his grandfather. As for which grandfather the goods will be sold to after getting their hands on them, it's hard to say.
"The king's loyalty and filial piety are really touching. Even if it is not the previous kindness, I am very happy to help fulfill my long-cherished wish when I hear this. However, I am new from Kansai out of the town of Chubei, my luggage is limited, there are not many things, and it will take a certain amount of time to transfer the goods here. If you have a weak heart in a short period of time, it is by no means a broom to cherish yourself, and I ask the king to forgive me."
Li Tai's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth, and his expression was still a little ashamed and a little self-blame, the old Bodhisattva couldn't drink a sip of sugar water when he was old, I really blamed me!
Not long after Li Tai entered the town, King Yueyang knew that after all, this guy came south and beat himself before he could sit down firmly in the north, so after hearing this, he didn't doubt him, and asked again: "Then may I ask Governor Li, if you send a message to the villagers to transport goods here, how long will it take?"
"Well, that's hard to say. Although there is a Wuguan Road connected to the north and the west of the Guanxi, this pass is narrow and difficult to walk, and the entry and exit of characters are strictly controlled. Before, I took advantage of the army to go out of the town to pack and stuff, and now I want to transport the goods from the township to the south, but I dare not use it for public and private purposes, and I have to turn through Heluo, Henan, and Guangzhou Sanya Road to arrive. The road is long, and because the thieves control Heluo, it is really difficult to determine how long it will take......
Li Tai said with a sad face: "I know that once this frosted sugar local goods come to the south, the masses will inevitably compete for the sale and make huge profits, if others come to ask, I may be greedy for a while and only make a lie to lure him, but I really can't bear to deceive the king, so I tell the truth."
"Governor Li, you are the governor of the military and government of the north, and you can't even take advantage of the public convenience temporarily?"
When King Yue Yang heard this, he couldn't help but look anxious, and couldn't help but encourage Li Tai to use the weapon for private use.
When Li Tai heard this, he smiled bitterly: "The king doesn't know that I was fortunate to be favored by my country's Hanoi Duke and used me as a woman. In previous years, the line between public and private was not strict. But now my husband is already in an uneasy situation, if I sell smuggling in dangerous ways again, if I am found out, I will not be able to argue......
Hou Jingzuo's rebellion in Henan is today
The hot search list has been the first for a long time, and the second place is estimated to be when Dugu Xin will make a mess in Longyou, and how many people are gloating about it.
If Li Tai violated the ban on goods along Wuguan Road at this time, he knew that he was engaged in commerce, and if he didn't know, he would directly guess that the armor staff and weapons were ready to be cut off from the north!
Of course, the internal situation in the Western Wei Dynasty has not yet been sensitive and tense to this point, but it does not prevent Li Tai from using this as an excuse to fool Xiao Jing.
Sure enough, after hearing this, although Xiao Jing's face was still full of regret and unwillingness, she was embarrassed to continue to encourage Li Tai, so she just sat in the middle of the table and sighed.
Seeing this, Li Tai seemed to be unbearable, so after a little silence, he made up his mind and said to Xiao Jing: "Since I have already made a bold statement first, and the king has come to ask graciously, I am also ashamed to eat my own preface. Although it is inconvenient for me to send goods to the north of the city, if the king sends troops to Hanzhong, I can send the villagers to Hanzhong through the meridian road!"
When King Yueyang heard this, his face suddenly brightened, but then he secretly fell down again, and said with some embarrassment: "Liangzhou is not within my authority, even if I want to receive goods in Hanzhong, it is difficult to ......
What are you talking about?
I know that you can't handle Hanzhong, don't you still have me? Let's collude inside and outside, go all the way along the Han River, put this Han Waterway in the hands of the brothers, and receive the Han Water in Guanzhong.
