This year, the Taiwan government has no plans to go on patrol, and the newly developed Handong and other places also need to be guarded by strong ministers. So after drinking the second brother Li Chao's happy wine, Li Tai was about to return to Jingzhou.

However, before leaving, he also needs to have an in-depth and specific communication with the Taiwan government on the personnel issues of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, so as to ensure that they can maintain a certain trust and tacit understanding between them.

Yu Wentai also waited for Li Tai in the Taiwan government early in the morning, and postponed all other matters for the time being, and specially discussed Jingzhou personnel with Li Tai.

After Li Tai came to Taifu, they did not say much to each other, Yuwentai took the lead in taking out a letter from Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling in Southern Liang, to surrender to Western Wei, and then said with a smile: "It is always a joy for the Liang family to come to vote, but Boshan has the deepest understanding of the situation in the southeast, according to what you see, is it necessary for the imperial court to accept his surrender?" ”

Li Tai took the book with both hands, and then read it carefully. He knew about this matter, because the book of surrender was submitted through the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, and in addition to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, the Taiwan Government had no other way to contact the personnel of Nanliang in the southeast.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Tai did not open the letter without permission and read it in advance, so today is the first time he has seen the content of the letter.

Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling, is the sixth son of Emperor Wu of Liang, and he is also a bastard. In the early days of Hou Jing's rebellion, he was originally the chief general appointed by Emperor Wu of Liang to lead all kinds of counterinsurgency forces, including Liu Zhongli's department. However, due to the inability of his people to patrol and delay the fighters, Hou Jing directly led his troops to cross the river and besiege Taicheng, and then a series of incredible farces occurred.

The reason why Hou Jing was able to grow big in Jiangnan was closely related to the incompetence and indulgence of Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling.

After Hou Jing broke through Taicheng and entered the second palace, all the Qinwang people retreated, and Xiao Lun, a living treasure, also fled to Huiji Yu Cave. However, as Hou Jing's offensive in the Sanwu region intensified, Huiji became no longer safe, so Xiao Lun continued to wander and entered Yingzhou in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, where Hou Jing's offensive had not yet reached.

Xiao Lun's letter was sent from Yingzhou, in which he first denounced the behavior of the king of Xiangdong for ignoring the danger of Jiankang, instead acting as a prestige in Jiangling, and brutalizing the descendants of the Southern Liang clan, and then expressed a negative attitude towards Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, for accepting the title of Western Wei without authorization and inviting the Wei army to attack his uncle.

In short, in the first half of this letter, there is a disparagement of Xiao Yi and Xiao Jing, the uncle and nephew, and repeatedly states that the two of them are not qualified to contact and interact with Western Wei alone.

Then Xiao Lun changed his words again, saying that now except for the puppet emperor Xiao Gang who was supported by Hou Jing in Jiankang City, he is already the oldest person in the Southern Liang clan, so even if he wants to surrender to Western Wei, he has to be the big brother to do it!

At present, the Western Wei Dynasty still has to win over Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, and hold peace talks with Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, which is too troublesome, in fact, as long as Xiao Lun's surrender is accepted, Xiao Lun will be responsible for these two guys.

Xiao Lun's conditions were also very simple, just temporarily borrowing the land of Handong that had been acquired by the Western Wei Dynasty as a temporary shelter, as a base camp for counterattacking Jiankang and quelling Hou Jing's rebellion, and hoped that Li Tai, as the governor of Jingzhou, could personally lead his men and horses to assist his people in counterinsurgency.

In this way, after the Hou Jing rebellion was put down, all the land north of Jiangling could be ceded to the Western Wei, including Shouyang and Hefei, which Li Tai had occupied but abandoned.

After reading this letter, Li Tai couldn't help laughing happily, and said unceremoniously: "The Liang family's imperial family has many evil species, and this King Shaoling is the best among them. His people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and looking at his lack of power, he still has a lot of wild words, which shows that he is by no means focused and pragmatic. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian, the eldest next to him, also nodded and said: "Reading books and knowing people, this King Shaoling is indeed absurd, even if he works with him, it may be difficult to succeed." It's just that whether the Liang family succeeds or not is not within the plot of the Taiwan government, if this person can be introduced to fight with his clan between Jiang and Han, it will be beneficial and harmless for further plotting and controlling Jiang Han. ”

Hearing Changsun Jian say this, some other members of the Taiwan government also echoed one after another, and even Daxingtai showed their approval.

Although King Shao Ling seems to be a little out of tune, if it is to further disturb the situation between Jiang and Han, then it is not impossible to accept his surrender.

In this way, the three Xiao Liang clans in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River were all controlled by the Western Wei Hegemony to varying degrees, and the operating space was undoubtedly greatly increased. When they fight each other and lose both sides and lose the support of the people, and then the overlord comes forward to clean up the mess, they can pocket the land of Jianghan in one fell swoop.

"It is indeed necessary for the Taiwan government to accept Xiao Lun's surrender. But when it comes to giving all kinds of help, it is not necessary. In particular, it is completely unnecessary to lend Handong as a temporary place to live. It is better to strictly order that people must not cross the border, and if they do, they will be the enemy and will be beaten hard! ”

The masses of Taiwan saw that the development of the southeast was going smoothly, so their own ideas gradually became a little wild, and Li Tai was also able to understand this. But if you don't cherish it because it's too simple, and even if you want to use the previous results as a cost input without a clear plan and ideas, Li Tai will never agree to this.

In history, Xiao Lun also flowed to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but surrendered to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi because of his difficult foothold, accepted the canonization of the Northern Qi and also became the king of Liang, and colluded with the Northern Qi to infect Handong, which had been occupied by the Western Wei.

In the current time and space, it was probably because Li Tai had defeated Murong Shaozong in Huainan before, so that Xiao Lun felt that the Western Wei could invest more power in the Jianghan region than the Eastern Wei, coupled with the turmoil at the highest level of the Eastern Wei, so he chose to surrender to the Western Wei. It's just that he seems to feel too good about himself, not only does he want to borrow land to accommodate himself, but he even wants Li Tai to give him a hand to cooperate, which is really inexplicable!

Although Xiao Lun's personal ability is so-so and almost none, his ability to bring disaster to the country and the people should not be underestimated. Li Taidu could not imagine how much of a restraining effect it would have on Jiangling or other aspects if he temporarily lent Handong to others, not to mention how miserable the harm to the local people's livelihood in Handong would be.

Now he is not difficult to manage the Handong region, so naturally he does not need to make any so-called strategic abandonment. And if Xiao Lun really has any substantive plans for the Handong region, he will never take into account what kind of plan the Taiwan government has placed on his people, and directly fight back and kill without discussion!

The people of Taiwan have discussed this matter many times, including Changsun Jian, the predecessor of Jingzhou Thorn History, who joined in for careful assessment, but with Li Tai's statement on this matter, all kinds of ideas and discussions between them have become nonsense.

Therefore, after Li Tai finished expressing his opinions, the people present in the Taiwan government looked more or less uncomfortable, and some people still wanted to argue on the basis of reason, but seeing that Daxingtai was no longer willing to discuss this, they could only keep their mouths shut.

"Since Boshan feels that King Shaoling is difficult to rely on, then this disciple is really inadequate and scheming, and there is no need to make more hopes."

After hearing this, Yuwentai no longer made any more entanglements and discussions, but continued to ask: "Then what Yiboshan has seen, under the premise of fully consolidating what he has obtained now, how long will it take to get involved in Jiangling?" ”

Delong Wangshu is the instinct of every hero in troubled times, although a series of achievements last year have made Yuwentai overjoyed, and he didn't even dare to imagine that there would be such an amazing breakthrough before.

But now it seems that he has quickly accepted this fact, and because of this, he has become even more ambitious, and has hit Gangneung with the idea.

The reason why he recognized and supported Xiao Lun to stir up trouble between Jiang and Han was to listen to Changsun Jian and others explain that Jiangling's strength is still very strong, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of the king of Xiangdong, and it is extremely difficult to conquer by force alone, and it still needs to be weakened by other means.

It's okay for Li Tai to veto this idea, but the key is to have other ideas and methods to achieve the same effect, and if not, then it is necessary to go back and revisit the discussion of this previously rejected plan.

"What the current situation is, in fact, is not limited to a corner of the place, but must be summarized and judged comprehensively. When Gangneung can be made is not only for me, but also for the enemy. Today, Hou Jing is entrenched on the surface of the river and attacks from all sides, and Jiangling is already the largest town in the upper reaches, but it still has the strength to compete. If I attack it urgently, the outcome is not yet decided, but in fact, it is to solve Hou Jing's predicament. ”

Li Tai naturally had his own understanding of the situation in Nanliang, and he also said seriously at this time: "The reason why I am not in a hurry to attack Jiangling today is not because of its strength, but because of this nest in Xiangdong to gather the strength of the people of the Southern Kingdom. Hou Jing is unruly and brutal, it will be difficult to marry the Nanliang people under his door for a long time, although Xiangdong is not talented, but after all, it is the lord of the upstream town, and the poor and dead will inevitably rush to Jiangling to vote.

In the coming year, if the thieves are in turmoil, Jiangling is the capital of Zhongxing, and then the Southern Dynasty will create a country and build a healthy country for a long time, and if Xiangdong wants to be the heir to unify the country, moving to the town and Jiankang is also a natural choice. However, the lord of the lower and lower parts will be difficult to overwhelm the people, and there will be a suspicion of losing the head and tail, and it is difficult to have both things and things, and then attack Jiangling with a large army, then not only this shape of the winning place, but also the essence of the personnel of Nanliang will be in control! ”

Yu Wentai was originally very anxious about plotting against Jiangling, but when he heard the prospects and possibilities described by Li Tai, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but high-five: "Boshan is really thoughtful, far beyond the reach of ordinary people!" If it really happens as expected, then the southern country's hundred years of personnel accumulation can be obtained in one battle, which is enough to set the world! ”

When the other Taiwanese officials heard Li Tai's description, they couldn't help but be quite shocked, and they really didn't imagine that things would go in such a direction and possibility. But it has to be said that once this situation becomes a reality, then the benefits of war will indeed be even more considerable.

"But how can Taiyuan Gong ensure that things develop as expected? What's more, if Jiangling can really quell this chaos, the king of Xiangdong will be expected by everyone and have a huge momentum, and if he plots again, it will be even more difficult! ”

On the one hand, he was happy for the achievements made in the southeast direction and admired Li Tai's meritorious deeds, and on the other hand, he was like a jealous ex-husband.

Jingzhou used to be an old and decrepit yellow-faced woman under his own governance, but when Li Tai was in charge, he suddenly looked radiant again, not only the charm still existed, and various postures were at his fingertips, which was simply charming to the extreme. So much so that whenever Changsun Jian heard the news from Jingzhou, he had a feeling of helplessness and regret.

Li Tai also did not make a boring bar with the eldest grandson, and after hearing this question, he smiled again: "Things are not as expected, when things come to an end, you can always be prepared and do your best, so as not to miss the opportunity, it can be said that you are worthy of your heart." Whether it can be done in the end remains to be determined by God's will. As for the king of Xiangdong in the coming day to become bigger because of the chaos, this is also expected, and the more difficult it is, the more you will gain. Even if I can't say anything about it, there is no shortage of talented and strong people in the country, and the whole country will fight and swear to break it! ”

The question raised by the eldest grandson jian was not lacking in difficulty, and after hearing Li Tai's answer, he was embarrassed to entangle again, and nodded thoughtfully to express his approval of Li Tai's answer.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai spoke again: "In this way, the southeast side does not need to invest more personnel to seek new achievements for the time being, and it can stabilize the present and wait for the opportunity." This is not a prudent plan, the thief added a new disaster last year, but this year I don't know what kind of variables will happen, and the country also needs to retain enough personnel to cope with the changes. If something really happens, maybe we will have to draw forces from Jingzhou to help them at that time. Tell me in advance, Boshan remember not to forget. ”

When he said this, Yu Wentai smiled again, and now he felt like a table full of delicacies and didn't know where to start.

The development of the situation in the past two years has made him feel that his destiny is in me, Gao Huan broke the halberd and died, and the sky took away the biggest opponent in his life for him. Later, Hou Jing's rebellion caused a series of changes, and although Yuwentai's attempt to get involved in Heluo and Henan failed, he did not expect that the southeast would usher in a great development.

Just when he regretted in his heart that Hou Jing's rebellion failed to bring the same harm to the Eastern Wei Dynasty as the Southern Liang, Gao Cheng, the excellent heir of the Gao family, was stabbed to death again. If it weren't for the providence of heaven to help him succeed, why would there be many disasters on all sides, but only they had a good scenery in the Western Dynasty?
