The patrol team did not stay in Suizhou for long, and on the second day after Li Tai marched to Daxingtai to talk about the Hanshui strategy, they set off again and headed for Dongxia Prefecture.

At the same time, in order to allow Li Tai to concentrate on writing and perfecting his Hanshui strategy, although he still traveled with the team, he no longer had to be left and right, and set off with Li Mu, who was temporarily transferred to the rear military governor.

"Although I have been serving the Lord for a longer time, my guess of the Lord's mind is not as accurate and profound as Boshan's."

When he went on the road again, Li Mu said to Li Tai with half expectation and half puzzlement: "The Lord specially told me this morning that talent is not limited to guarding the guard, and it is inevitable that talents will be wasted if they are used for a long time. Of course, I never thought that the guards were overkill, but the Lord suddenly said that, it must have other important arrangements for me, right? Boshan, do you know the situation, do you know where the Lord is going to use me?"

Hearing Li Mu's humble inquiry, Li Tai was happy in his heart, and originally thought that Li Ya's kid had been educated like this, and he was a little to blame, but now it seems that it is also a family education and a follow-up from the roots.

I don't know where our boss is going to use you, but I know he might be worried that if he keeps you by his side, you might have to partner with me to get him.

The so-called drum does not need a heavy hammer, just yesterday's exchange, it is estimated that Yu Wentai has already felt that Li Tai is already a bit difficult to use, so he has also begun to re-examine the relationship and interaction between Li Tai and the people in Taiwan.

Li Mu has been very close to Li Tai in recent years, helping each other in their careers, not to mention, even in their daily communication, they are like a family friendship that entrusts their wives and children. Although this is not enough for Yu Wentai to directly question Li Mu's loyalty, it is obviously not suitable for him to serve as the captain of the pro-soldier brigade.

There was no need to follow the attendants anymore, and Li Tai's activity trajectory was also freer, and when the team was stranded in Dongxia Prefecture, he temporarily broke away from the team and went to Xihe County for a walk.

Today's Xihe County has changed greatly compared to previous years, after the formal establishment of governance, its land is also part of the transaction between Yuwentai and Duguxin, and it has a great deal of autonomy administratively, and it is not under the control of Dongxia Prefecture or Beihua Prefecture.

The scale of tuntian in this area has also developed rapidly, and there are many fertile fields along the Kuli River. In addition to satisfying the region's own use, the grain produced here is to supply the needs of military towns such as Sanxia Prefecture, and the Taiwan government only needs to standardize the production and sales of salt ponds and issue salt introductions, so as to achieve effective cross-regional mobilization of resources.

As for Li Tai also occupying a large area of fertile land here, this is also a natural and inevitable thing.

It must be known that in northern Shaanxi, he built from a barren land to the current situation of fertile land and living and working in peace and contentment, including the policy he put forward in the salt introduction, and the Taiwan government has given some policy assistance, but the actual human resources are very limited.

Now, the defense line of the entire Hetao area has been strengthened and expanded to such a scale, and it is no exaggeration to say that Li Tai is the first to take the lead. If he doesn't take a little private property with his hands, it is not normal.

Of course, the rapid development of Xihe County also benefited from the relocation of Duguxin's accumulated personnel resources in Longyou. Today's Dugu Xin still shows some resistance to Yuwendao in Longyou, in fact, it is also to continue to maintain the right to speak in personnel for a period of time, so as to move to the area that can still be controlled.

Gao Bin served as the Taishou of Xihe County, and also arranged the government affairs in the county in an orderly manner, coupled with the assistance of Li Tai's old subordinates such as Li Zhi and Mao Shijian, the overall changes in Xihe County can be described as changing with each passing day.

After Li Tai entered the country, he made a little inspection, and did not visit in detail, but collected some of the latest swords, armor and ordnance from the armor workshop in Heishui Fangcheng, and sent them back to Huazhou first, ready to be used in the later war.

In addition to the characteristics of water warfare, the power of the bow and crossbow is also very considerable, and the attack power is even better than that of the northerners in some special terrain battles. Therefore, when fighting with the southerners in the future, the armor rate of the elite troops also needs to be improved.

Although Li Tai took a group of craftsmen south to Jingzhou before, it is a pity that the already large-scale production line here was abandoned, so a group of craftsmen were still left here to maintain production.

Among the ordnance delivered this time, in addition to more than 600 collars of various armors and strong bows

In addition to the equipment such as the horse chopping knife, there is also a number of fine horse lances.

Although Gao Aocao's old lance is of excellent quality and high in craftsmanship, it is still a little too big and heavy compared to Li Tai's habits, after all, he is not a power-type general, and he can use it, but it is not as convenient and convenient as tailor-made.

Therefore, after capturing a group of skilled craftsmen from Jinyang Palace and bringing them back to northern Shaanxi, Li Tai moved to build a horse lance for himself. At that time, he told the craftsmen about his needs and habits, and the craftsmen also worked hard, but it was not until now that the completion and delivery were finally completed.

After trying this new lance, Li Tai only felt that the length, weight and some details of the design were all very suitable, and he was also very satisfied, and he was really satisfied with the best that suited him.

During the same period, there were more than a dozen horse lances with different shapes, and the materials and processes were all the same. After all, so many craftsmen have wasted years of time, just to create a horse lance is too luxurious, the same batch of materials and various processes to process, naturally the more the more the cost can be reduced, but the quality difference itself is not large.

Li Tai only needs a horse lance, and he plans to give it to the generals under his command in the same batch of other horse lances, and after seeing the fine and beautiful lines of the horse lance, he also gave this batch of horse lances a very middle two and domineering name, dragon pattern lance!

After a short stay in Xihe County, Li Tai returned to Guangwu City to join the brigade, and before leaving for the south, Yu Wentai also deliberately ordered Yang Zhong to return to Huazhou with the team, to show that he was not perfunctory about the plan proposed by Li Tai, and as long as it was proved feasible, he would arrange the personnel as soon as possible.

After the inspection of Dongxia Prefecture was completed, the group went south along the river, and hunted for several days at the southern foot of Beishan Mountain in the north of Huazhou, and finally ended this patrol and returned to Huazhou in a mighty way.

By the time the group returned to Huazhou, the time had already entered the middle of June, and Li Tai's mood had become extremely hot like this weather. Now he is already impatient to go south, and happily bite and carve up the fat of Nanliang.

After Yu Wentai returned to Huazhou, he immediately convened the government officials to discuss the plan proposed by Li Tai, but the results of the discussion were not very optimistic.

Most of the Taiwanese officials and generals did not agree with Li Tai's plan, one is because Li Tai's plan is too ambitious, and at the same time he has set too many goals, which seems to be unreal. The second lesson of the enemy's rash advance is not unheard of in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the last negative textbook is still trapped in Yingchuan.

Li Tai had expected this situation, but he was not nervous. Whether or not to send troops is not something that can be decided by such a mass meeting. Moreover, responding to and resolving all kinds of problems raised by the public is itself part of the united front work, and this is the core value of being a political leader.

Putting aside all kinds of internal entanglements, Yuwentai was obviously very tempted by the plan proposed by Li Tai. After all, Hou Jing was defeated all the way, and everyone could directly enter Jiankang and control the Second Palace of Southern Liang, and they could not even be inferior to Hou Jing in Western Wei. Driven by a strong desire, any excuse for not being able to do anything is not justified.

However, the personnel structure proposed by Li Tai to implement the plan was a little unacceptable to Yu Wentai, and he also wanted to use public opinion to contain and attack Li Tai, and wanted to bring things back to the right track controlled by the Taiwan government.

In this case, the question is who is more certain and can endure more.

Therefore, in the face of the doubts of the masses, Li Tai has been constantly repeating his plan, without making changes or concessions.

This is not a fighting spirit, but confidence in one's own plan, and if the actual executors cannot withstand the pressure of the masses and go from one to the other, then the feasibility of the plan itself will be greatly reduced. If you want to achieve great things, sometimes you need a certain amount of stubbornness.

With Li Tai's continuous persistence, the direction of public opinion has gradually changed. In fact, many people are only subconsciously resistant to this, and the reason for their judgment is based on past events and experiences, rather than having an in-depth understanding and clear judgment of the latest situation at the moment, and Li Tai's attitude has become an important basis for their approval or opposition to this matter.

After perceiving the turn of public opinion, Yuwentai's attitude also became positive.

In the name of the Taiwan government, he first asked the imperial court to change Wang Sizheng's title to the prince of Yingchuan County, and gave a positive assessment of Wang Sizheng's soldiers entering Yingchuan. Regardless of the ultimate success or failure, Wang Sizheng's behavior and spirit of opening up the territory of the country are worthy of recognition, and similar behavior plans are also worthy of praise and appreciation.

This is the pattern and weight that a normal politician should have, because such a plan itself is time-sensitive, and if the stalemate continues, it will turn from a discussion of issues to a struggle of will.

If Li Tai can't get a decision that satisfies him here in Taifu, a new judge will definitely be introduced, that is, the imperial court. Even children who fight understand that they can't sue their parents, and once the court intervenes in the matter, the nature of the matter changes.

With the Taiwan government making a clear statement, the trend of discussion on this matter has also changed, no longer focusing on whether it is feasible, but beginning to discuss how to optimize the implementation process.

At the same time, there is no shortage of people who begin to show goodwill and requests to Li Tai, hoping to join this grand military operation, including a person that Li Tai does not want to face but has to face, that is Yuwen Go.
