0593 Heroic Ambition
When the Northern Patrol team entered the territory of Suizhou, the officials of Suizhou Assassin Shi Cui Xu, Changshi Yang Fu, Fangcheng Governor Li Yantou and Diaoyin Taishou Liu Pingzhou County had already been waiting in the state for a long time.
Suizhou has not been set up for too long, and the personnel is simpler than that of an important town like Xiazhou, which is basically Li Tai's subordinates when he was in northern Shaanxi. The military strength in the territory is not as majestic as that of Xiazhou, with less than 3,000 elite cavalry and thousands of Hao chieftains.
Although this is also a considerable military force, it is still a bit unsightly for the people who have just left Tongwan City.
However, Suizhou is not without other things that attract attention, such as Li Tai led his troops to cross the river to the east and was invincible in the heart of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Jinyang. The people in the country still remember this incident vividly, and naturally they also want to see the place where the people and horses crossed the river. Some even suggested that it would be possible to arrange for them to cross the river as well.
Cui Ji and the others shook their heads again and again after hearing this request, this is not something to joke about. The national strength of the two Wei Dynasty will not be fundamentally reversed because of Li Tai's previous attack, and the territory of the Eastern Wei on the other side of the river will never become a paradise for the Western Wei people.
At present, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was still affected by Hou Jing's rebellion and focused on solving the chaos in Henan, but it did not completely ignore the danger exposed by the previous theft, rebuilt the Wutu City that was destroyed by Li Tai and strengthened the garrison, and continued to compress the living space of Lishihu.
Yu Wentai naturally did not engage in these boring things that had no practical meaning except for provocation and convenience, so he carefully inspected the river defense along the bank of the big river, and inquired about the personnel flow between the two Wei.
After the Liangzhou rebellion was put down and Guazhou was regained effective control, the Hexi Corridor was opened up again, allowing the Western Wei to regain the geographical advantage of trading with the Western Regions.
Merchants were also very sensitive to changes in the situation, but because the two Wei were still in a state of hostility, and the Western Wei did not systematically strengthen the management of commercial and trade matters, there was still no significant change in the flow of personnel among the people.
Li Tai was one of the first to notice and had the ability to take advantage of this change, and when Yu Wentai asked about these circumstances, he naturally explained his arrangements for sending Li Yunxin and other subordinate disguise merchants to Jinyang to infiltrate.
When he came to Suizhou this time, Li Tai was also more curious about how Li Yunxin and others' infiltration plans were going. After all, they went to Jinyang this time, not only to sell goods for profit and find out information, but also to pick up his family from Jinyang.
Li Yantou sat in Suizhou, provided all kinds of personnel assistance to Li Yunxin and others, and knew the best about the implementation of their plans.
The previous intrusion of Jinyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty made the defense capability around Jinyang improve as a whole, which of course brought great difficulties to Li Yunxin and his party to infiltrate. They once wandered outside the Great Wall of Beishan for several months, unable to enter, but finally relied on the huge demand for luxury goods by the nobles of Jinyang to knock on the door of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Although they were from the same background, due to the difference in the areas they occupied, there was a huge disparity in national strength, which also allowed these nobles of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to live a life of wealth and freedom earlier than the poor people of the Western Wei Dynasty.
If you have money, of course, you have to enjoy it, so the world in Jinyang is becoming more and more extravagant. Especially with the death of King Gao, the supervision imposed on them has been reduced, and the second has also made them deeply feel that life and death are impermanent, and they should be happy in time, so the demand for luxury goods in Jinyang has surged.
Li Yunxin and they have a stable and high-quality supply of goods, and naturally they quickly won the favor of the nobles of Jinyang.
Naturally, these spy personnel will not directly meet and trade with the Eastern Wei magnates in a grand manner, but hide themselves through various relationships between Hu merchants and merchants, and have formed a relatively stable channel network in Jinyang, although they do not know everything well, but what important things happen in Jinyang can basically be quickly informed and passed back.
As for Li Tai's family issues, which Li Tai was most concerned about, Li Yunxin and the others also made a breakthrough a month ago, and they had direct contact with the Li clan in Longxi, and both sides were actively communicating.
Li Tai was overjoyed when he learned of this, and as his position in the Western Wei became more and more important, the family members who remained in the Eastern Wei became more and more of him
a heart disease and a weakness.
Although there are many people from the Western Wei Dynasty whose families are stranded in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and even the Yuwen family's clansmen in the Eastern Wei Dynasty have not yet died, Li Tai's family is still different from these relatives of the town soldiers.
The contradiction between the Eastern Wei clan and the nobles has always existed, and Li Tai directly brought disaster to the family members of the Jinyang nobles, and now the family can temporarily ensure their safety is still because Gao Cheng is still relatively friendly and dependent on the Kwantung clan, and in the absence of direct conflicts and interests appeals, he is not guilty of wantonly slaughtering his clansmen in order to vent his anger.
So for Li Tai, it is natural that the sooner he brings his family to Kansai, the better. At the same time, it also allowed him to no longer be tied when facing the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, when discussing this matter with Li Yantou in private, Li Tai made it clear that Li Yunxin, who was lurking in Jinyang, would pay attention to the personnel changes from Yecheng in the next few months, hoping to take advantage of Gao Cheng's happiness and sorrow and the transfer of the supreme power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty again, and bring the family back from Jinyang in one fell swoop.
The arrangement of family affairs naturally does not need to be carefully explained to Daxingtai. And Yuwentai only heard about Li Tai's personnel intelligence structure in Jinyang, he couldn't help but smile, and sighed: "There are many people in the world who have eyes and masters, and it is just a fluke that others build things and support merit, but they don't know that others are taking precautions, and all kinds of hard work in the past have made the future set to succeed!" Boshan's amazing plans and exploits are mostly due to the personnel accumulated in his daily life!"
"The minister is really attentive to things, he doesn't dare to slack off, and he tries his best to do a good job whenever he thinks about it. But whether things can succeed in the end does not depend on whether the minister works hard or not, but also on the cooperation of various personnel, especially the trust and appointment from the Lord, which is the biggest reliance on the minister's repeated progress! If it weren't for the Lord's favor and many promotions, who in the world would know who Li Boshan was?"
After Li Tai heard Daxingtai's words, he hurriedly bowed his head and said.
Although there are often conversations between each other to praise each other, Yu Wentai heard Li Tai's tone this time obviously a little serious, even heavy, and his heart felt something, so he looked at Li Tai and said, "Is there still any lingering sound in Boshan's heart? Do you still have any complaints about some of the recent personnel arrangements?"
Obviously, although Yu Wentai has arranged for Li Mu to relieve Li Tai, he is also ready to find an opportunity to talk about it again to eliminate the mustard in Li Tai's heart.
After hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly shook his head and said, "The lord has a grand plan and thoughtfulness, and Chen An dares to question it. It's just that after hearing about Liang Guo's recent changes, I feel annoyed that the plan to advance to the Lord is still short-sighted, but in fact, I can plan for a more long-term future! Although Hou Jing was fortunate to hold the authority of the Liang State, his false life could not be cleared in all directions, but because his king lost himself, the strong and brave people in his territory competed for him......
Yuwentai heard that what Li Tai said was not his envoy Zhao Gui, he first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then listened to his old things again, and what he said was not even to the land of Handong, but even Hanzhong was included, and he was full of passion and excitement for a while: "If everything can be as Boshan said, then the Hanshui line is indeed very promising!"
As the leader of a hegemonic power, there is nothing more exciting for Yuwentai than his grand plan to expand his territory. Especially the loss of Hanzhong back then was also a piece of Yuwentai's heart, if it can be regained, everyone will naturally be happy!
Li Tai first threw out a outline of the plan, and seeing that Yuwentai was indeed interested in it, he took the opportunity to talk about a more specific plan, including splitting into two routes with Yang Zhongbing, one to attack Hanzhong and the other to capture Handong.
"Yang Yuyu also has to plan this?"
When Yu Wentai heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, and he said quietly.
Li Tai nodded after hearing this, and continued to say: "Yang Kaifu used to go down from Hanoi Gong to the east of Hanoi, and if it weren't for the thieves from the south to disturb the bad things, he might have been able to divide the two or three of his land back then. Now that he is planning the past, Hanoi is far away in Heyang, Longbian, and the communication is not smooth, so the minister went to ask Yang Kaifu, Yang Kaifu was also happy when he saw the word, and told the minister that if he could really get the order of the lord to go on the expedition, he would also wear armor and obey each other, and make this work together!"
"It's a big plan, and it's so far-reaching, that I don't dare to make a rash decision for a while. Boshan, can you put the record of today's discussion into a document and let the Taiwan government group
And they all talked about it?"
After thinking about it, Yu Wentai spoke again.
Li Tai nodded after hearing this, he did not expect to be able to persuade Yuwentai to support this plan with just a few words, and what he wanted was to let the important people in the current situation in Kansai know and discuss the resolution, rather than directly veto it in a small circle. Yuwentai said that he wanted the masses to discuss it, and he had already made concessions.
The discussion on this matter came to an end for the time being, and Yu Wentai looked at Li Tai again and said with emotion: "Young heroes, it is indeed enviable! Boshan, your talent and resourcefulness are not only far beyond your peers, even your predecessors are inferior. In the old days, when I was your age, I didn't dare to imagine such a huge strategy, but you were able to lift weights and move as simple as simplicity, and the changes in the general trend of the world were also included in your mind!"
These words sounded like a simple emotion, but Li Tai's back couldn't help but be covered with a layer of fine sweat. Yes, people are different from people, you were not as good as me when you were young, and now you have become the head of the overlord, what kind of mix can I get when I reach your age, this is really worth thinking about......
"The minister is weak and irritable, and he can be tolerated and encouraged by the Lord, so he is keen to perform, and he is fortunate to be not blamed. The Erzhu clan, which the Lord had placed in the past, was not the lord of tolerance, and its hall was not a place for heroic ambitions to be extended!"
After hearing this answer, Yu Wentai just smiled and was noncommittal about it.
