Recently, it was not only Li Xian, the younger brother of Li Qianzhe, who came to Jingzhou uninvited, but also Wang Sizheng of Yingchuan also sent envoys to visit Li Tai in Yucheng, namely Wang Sizheng's eldest son Wang Yuanxun, his subordinate Guo Xian, and Zhao Gang, who was once subordinate to Li Tai and is still staying in Henan to assist Wang Sizheng.

Li Tai had recently been busy inspecting the reclamation and spring plowing of the townships in the territory, and the attachés happened to meet them while wandering through the countryside, so they directly led these people to the location of Li Tai's camp.

"I've seen Xihe Gong!"

In the camp, several people strode forward and saluted Li Tai.

Li Tai bowed his head to several people one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Gang and said with a smile: "Zhao Che rides, don't be for a few months, what is it like in the body?"

Zhao Gang smiled and responded slightly to Li Tai's greeting, and then couldn't help but say, "The last general also went in and out of Jingzhen in the past, but it is very different from now. The scenes of villagers reclaiming the wilderness abound, and the wilderness is no longer desolate as before. It is expected that after Xihe Gong entered the country, he frequently promoted good governance, rewarded cultivation and encouraged farmers, and waited for this, and the revival of this township is hopeful!"

Li Tai couldn't help but smile proudly after hearing this, although Zhao Gang's reclamation scenes abound, although it is a bit exaggerated, but the rural scene in Jingzhou has changed in essence compared to when he first entered this town, and it is also a fact that he can naturally look at it calmly in the face of this praise.

Guo Xian next to him also said with a smile: "When Taiyuan Gongzhi Xihe Gong went out of Jingzhou, he also sincerely sighed that this state has a heavy responsibility. Xihe Gong has repeatedly cultivated and governed the wasteland, and his political achievements are outstanding, and what the last general saw along the way testifies to this, and he also admires Xihe Gong's governance skills!"

Zhao Gang's praise Li Taishang could accept it calmly, but when he heard Guo Xian's words, he couldn't help but be vigilant. If you have nothing to do, you are not a woman or a thief, you almost arrested all the rats in the Jingzhou Treasury before, leaving me such a mess, and now you come together and sing praises, which really makes people can't help but think about it a little more.

"Although Jingzhou is in the realm of border barbarians, after all, it has been under the rule of the king for a long time, and the army and the people are all looking up to power, and it is not difficult to govern. On the contrary, it is Taiyuan Gong's courage to expand the Henan Prefectures and defend his possession, and he can win the support of the people who are attached to the other realm, which makes me ashamed."

He didn't take the top hat handed by Guo Xian, and handed it back with his backhand.

Wang Yuanxun, the son of Wang Sizheng on the side, is similar in age to Li Tai, and it should be that the city government is not deep, and after hearing Li Tai say this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "What Xihe Gong said is a little optimistic, and the villagers in the other realm have been accused of thieves for a long time, and they are cunning and cunning, frivolous and unjust, and they are unbearable. Especially after Hou Jing was defeated and fled......

Guo Xian hurriedly pulled Wang Yuanxun to stop him from continuing to speak, lest his underwear be turned out, and smiled awkwardly at Li Tai.

Li Tai could naturally guess that Wang Sizheng was not in a very optimistic situation at the moment, after all, with the successive defeats of the Southern Liang Northern Expeditionary Army and Hou Jingsuo's chaotic army, the Yingchuan garrisoned by Wang Sizheng was like a bright beacon leading to the direction of the Eastern Wei army.

Moreover, listening to Wang Yuanxun's complaints about the villagers in Henan, Li Tai could also guess that Wang Sizheng was not very optimistic about the effect of the absorption and reorganization of the local military and civilian forces in Henan.

After he came to Jingzhou, he had an absolute advantage, and he spent a lot of effort when sorting out the powerful forces in the township, and so far it has only achieved a little results, and it is not enough to talk about the monolith of Jingzhou's operation.

As for Wang Sizheng here, it must be more difficult than Li Tai's here.

Hou Jingji, who originally managed this place, made himself a slave with three surnames in a very short time, and the complexity of the changes in the situation was dazzling, which can be said to have destroyed the original ruling foundation of Henan, and the upper ruling class and the middle and lower rural order were completely disconnected.

Although Wang Sizheng can also be called a world-famous general, the so-called famous generals can't make people worship, and they want to reshape the order in a very short period of time, and effectively integrate the local forces in Henan, which is basically tantamount to dreaming.

In the past, there were also the Southern Liang and Northern Expeditionary Army and Hou Jing to disrupt the situation and share the firepower, but now these two groups of people have been defeated one after another, and the possibility of Henan forces taking refuge in Wang Sizheng is even more minimal, Li Tai is panicked for Wang Sizheng when he thinks about it.

He brought this group into the tent and sat down, and no longer played sloppy with them

It was a direct inquiry about the latest situation in Henan.

When he learned that the scouts from the Eastern Wei side had appeared sporadically in the area around Yingzhou, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, everyone is a little less selfish and more honest, and the situation will not be completely unsolvable.

If Yuwen Hu did not send that group in Heyang, but stuck to the two cities of Heyang, even if there was no major breakthrough, the Eastern Wei side would not dare to go south with an unscrupulous army, and it might not be able to defeat the Southern Liang Northern Expeditionary Army and Hou Jing's chaotic division so easily.

If Wang Sizheng was not so greedy and reckless, and insisted on setting up his platform in Yingchuan, which lacked shelter on the left and right, so that he would be out of touch with the armies, he would not be alone......

Although he had already learned Wang Sizheng's stubbornness, Li Tai couldn't help but speak: "The Eastern Thief Division's consecutive victories and momentum are by no means a blessing to me. As far as the art of war is concerned, it is also necessary to avoid the edge for the time being, I don't know what the strategy of Taiyuan Gong is?"

On the one hand, Li Tai felt that it was a pity that Wang Sizheng had given it away, and on the other hand, he also felt that the existence of Wang Sizheng's forces also had a certain protective effect on Jingzhou, and it would naturally be best if they could achieve military mutual correspondence between them.

But now Yingchuan is lonely, once besieged, even if Li Tai wants to be saved, his men and horses will be exposed to the plains without shelter, and will be surrounded and intercepted by the Eastern Wei army.

If it weren't for the fact that Yubi City killed Gao Huan, it is estimated that Wang Sizheng would have to wonder if Wang Sizheng had discussed with the Eastern Wei Dynasty to build such a battlefield that would be greatly beneficial to his division and brigade.

So don't talk about Wang Sizheng, even if Li Tai and his son were besieged in Yingchuan City like this, he couldn't risk the lives of his subordinates.

Hearing Li Tai's question, Guo Xian said: "The Taiyuan public has said that since the death of the thief last year, his national division brigade has been busy with the chaos and has become a tired journey under the protracted war. Although the current one is victorious, his division is only the end of the strong crossbow, and he only needs to face the defeat for a long time. If you give up the Henan Zhuzhou County that you have already occupied because of fear, and wait until the Eastern Thieves divide their troops and recuperate in the city, it will be much more difficult to take them back......

Hearing Guo Xian's general analysis of Wang Sizheng, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that from a tactical point of view, Wang Sizheng was indeed reasonable in his analysis, and he also had the ability to implement his ideas.

The Eastern Wei army broke the strong enemy in a row, which can be described as majestic, but when it came to Yingchuan, it hit a wall, and then the war was stalemate, and it was no longer in the state of momentum before.

But the problem is that the topography of Henan, which is a flat river, is not something that can be decided by a war for a long time. Even if the Western Wei Dynasty spared no effort to support Wang Sizheng, the trend of the war would soon evolve into the most unfavorable contest of national strength.

Hearing what Guo Xian meant, Wang Sizheng obviously did not intend to give up Yingchuan, so Li Tai didn't say anything more. He is neither Wang Sizheng's superior nor subordinate, everyone will come and go if they are in agreement, and Li Tai has no obligation to change his established plan for Wang Sizheng.

"Now the army of the Eastern Thieves may enter Yingchuan at any time, but the people and goods are still scattered in Imaji. Although it is presumptuous to know what to do, it is not a family business to resist the enemy and defend the city. Dare to ask Xihe Gong, can you help a little in terms of personnel? When the thieves are defeated, they will be rewarded more!"

Seeing that Li Tai's attitude had become a little cold, and the atmosphere in the tent was also a little dull, Wang Yuanxun took the initiative to speak again.

Should I say it or not, after Li Taizi gave Wei Xiaokuan a sum of military rations in the Battle of Yubi, his reputation for righteousness and wealth also spread. Later, after interacting with volunteers from all walks of life in western Henan, this reputation spread more widely. So Li Tai was not surprised that Wang Sizheng had this request.

"I am also new to this township, and you also see that the countryside is busy reclamation, and the treasury still has no income. If you want to force material mobilization, you still need to rely on Guanzhong. Since Taiyuan Gong has this need, I will not refuse, but it will take a certain amount of time."

Li Tai's words are not an excuse, although he brought a lot of military food from Guanzhong, but since last year to now, it has also consumed a lot, and it is indeed impossible to get a large amount of aid to Wang Sizheng at present, and it may be too late to transport Guanzhong, but you can get some from Xiangyang nearby.

He knew that he didn't have to count on the so-called good reward, and the reason why he agreed to this request was not because of the extra money, but from the perspective of regional strategy, Wang Sizheng supported it

For a long time, it can also form a certain protective effect on Jingzhou.

Hearing Li Tai's promise, Wang Yuanxun and Guo Xian all thanked him again and again, but Li Tai then said: "Yingzhou personnel are unwilling to be attached, if the army of Eastern thieves comes, it will be difficult to cover more with the lonely city. Now Jingzhou is creating its own industries, so can General Guo and others send a group of people from other places to this township?"

[In view of the general environment,

His money and food are not obtained in a vacuum, of course, he hopes to be worth the money. Since the people in Yingzhou Township are not controlled, it is better to drive them to Jingzhou and let Li Tai calmly transform. This is not considered to be a robbery, after all, Wang Sizheng will not have the time and energy to take care of these civil affairs in the future.

At the same time, Li Tai looked at Zhao Gang again and said, "When I worked with Zhao Cheqi before, I was deeply impressed by the ability and thoroughness of the Cheqi. Today, my Jingzhen is in ruins, and there is an urgent shortage of talent. Especially around the realm, there are quite a lot of barbarians who need to communicate and integrate, can Zhao Cheqi stay here to help me?"

Zhao Gang was not subordinate to Wang Sizheng in the first place, and when he heard Li Tai's warm invitation, he also liked Jingzhou's thriving state in his heart, plus he had a lot of friendship with He Batsheng and Dugu Xin, and he loved the house and Wuxia, and he was also happy to work with Li Tai, so he nodded and smiled.
