At the end of the first month, Li Tai returned to Jingzhou, and at this time, most of the government officials and the soldiers and civilians in the city did not know that General Li had already fought once, but the enemy was in Huainan.

After returning to the governor's office, Li Tai first reviewed the accumulated government affairs, and then asked how the itinerary and activities of the Jiangling delegation in Jingzhou were going, and when he learned that these people had recently been observing and studying his calligraphy works in the Jingzhou Mansion School, Li Tai couldn't help but show a little smile on his face: "These Jiangling people are also very knowledgeable, and they have some ability to appreciate it." ”

When he came to the cultural desert of the Western Wei Dynasty, he often felt out of place with the people around him because he was too good. Because there are no people with enough education to sing harmony, many of the poems that are ready to be copied are almost forgotten. If it weren't for these Gangneung people discovering and appreciating it, he would have almost forgotten that he was still a calligrapher.

However, he was also a little curious, and since the previous year, he had been in direct contact with Gangneung, and it was indispensable to write a book and send it to Gangneung. It stands to reason that the fact that he has good calligraphy attainments should have spread in Gangneung as early as possible, why are these Gangneung people still making such a fuss and looking like they just knew?

Could it be that it was because he saw that his calligraphy attainments were too superb, which made Xiao Laoqi ashamed of himself, so he simply hid his handwritten letters sent to Jiangling here and kept them secret?

Thinking about Xiao Laoqi's consistent urine, this is not impossible. Thanks to the fact that he was mixed in the Western Wei Dynasty, if he went to Jiangling, he would be able to bear it when he met such a perverse boss.

It is natural to be happy that his calligraphy works are admired, but Li Tai warmly retained these Jiangling people and spent public funds for them to stay and drink, not just to make them pat themselves on the back, but to show the charm of the north from all aspects and increase their sense of identity with the local customs in their respective hearts.

So Li Taidang decided to arrange the follow-up activities of these people by himself, and ordered the government officials to arrange the venue as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, Wang Xuan, who was a close confidant of the general's tent, came to Hongbin Building with a warrant and invited these Gangneung people to the governor's palace to meet General Li and go to today's venue for activities.

"General Li finally took the time to meet?"

After receiving the notice issued by the king, all the people in Jiangling were overjoyed, and the more they observed and admired General Li's calligraphy works during this time, the more amazed and admired they became, and they even wanted to ask General Li in person about the meaning and know-how of his magic.

However, whenever they made such requests, they were always politely rejected by the subordinates of the Governor's Office, saying that General Li was too busy with official business to meet with the masses.

There are also people who recognize the identity of Wang Xuan, although he has not entered the government in Jiangling, but his father Wang Seng Bi is an old man in the Xiangdong Palace, so there is no shortage of people in Jiangling.

"When did Wang Lang come to Chubei? You have already served under General Li? ”

Someone came forward to talk to Wang Xuan, and when they learned that he was serving as a confidant of General Li, they couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but ask him about his treatment and experiences since he entered the northern part of the country.

Being able to see so many Jiangling people in the north of the city, Wang Xuan also had the joy of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, and tried his best to answer the questions raised by everyone, as long as they did not involve the military and political secrets of the governor's office. Of course, with his current position, he has no access to any real military secrets.

Through Wang Xuan's narration, the people of Jiangling learned that during the period when they were obsessed with calligraphy, General Li, who had been avoiding them, had gone to Huainan to defeat a Northern Qi army and force back an enemy army!

"General Li is really a man in the world, no wonder Wang Junjun has to sacrifice his son! Such a brave and strong lord is really a blessing for the officials and people under his rule! ”

The Southern Dynasties did not particularly respect martial arts, but with Hou Jingzuo's rebellion in Jiangnan, they witnessed the harm caused by military disasters to the world, and they all hoped that there would be a wise and resolute leader who could put down the thieves and restore peace to the world.

Although the head of their southern Jingfu, King Xiangdong, is also a leader who is in the prime of life, has very rich military and political experience and means, and is also respected by the people of the world as the hope of quelling the thieves and rebellion and the rise and fall, but compared with this majestic and meritorious leader of the Beijing Mansion, Rao is in the minds of Jiangling people, and he also feels that the King of Xiangdong lacks a little style.

Of course, such thoughts are only muttered in their hearts, and they will never dare to declare them, lest they cause any trouble or even kill themselves.

By the time the Gangneung people arrived at the governor's palace under the guidance of Wang Xuan, Li Tai's guards were ready to go, and they had prepared different means of transportation such as horses or carriages for their guests.

Li Tai also walked out of the direct hall of the governor's mansion in military uniform, and his handsome and sturdy figure bathed in the morning sun as if there was light.

I haven't seen it for many days, and the people in Jiangling are intoxicated with the observation and appreciation of its calligraphy, and they can't help but imagine the style of their people because of the words, and only feel that their people and their words complement each other, and now they appreciate the style of General Li in person, only to feel that the previous brain supplement imagination in their minds is still slightly discolored compared to the real person.

"The general is handsome and handsome, like a god!"

Some of the young people in the mission couldn't help but admire, probably because they had been observing calligraphy for several days, and they felt psychologically close to this general of another country who was both civil and military, and had a unique demeanor, so they couldn't help but want to express their admiration.

Li Tai laughed when he heard this exclamation, and pointed to the young man who spoke out of praise and responded: "Lang Jun is also good-looking, frank and innocent, and does not lose his pure heart!" ”

When everyone present heard this, they all laughed, and they only felt that although General Li was a high-ranking and powerful neighbor, he also did not lose the lively heart of a young man, and he was also elegant and funny in getting along with each other, which made people happy and close.

Since the personnel had arrived, Li Tai directly ordered to set off, and he also turned over a horse, and when he saw Jiangling, everyone chose to board the car.

Although this is also related to the differences in customs and objective conditions between the north and the south, it can also be seen that the southerners are really not good at riding and shooting.

A group of people left Jingzhou City in a mighty way, and after traveling for a few miles, they arrived at the Caogou military camp in the south of the city.

This military camp is where Li Tai invited Wang Gu to enjoy the military parade before his expedition last year, and now all the soldiers in the camp have been stationed, in addition to the prisoners of war captured from Heluo, who are now also placed in this military camp.

Li Tai came to the barracks today to preside over the reorganization and resettlement of the prisoners of war. The people of Jiangling were invited to come with them, so that they could understand a series of procedures for the reorganization and placement of prisoners of war by the Jingzhou Governor's Office. This experience may not make people happy, but it will be useful in the future.

The barracks had already received a notice from the governor's office, and the venue was arranged early in the morning. In addition to the martial arts school that shows the fighting skills of arches and horses, the general affairs of the governor's office and some private workshop owners also come here.

"This, are these all prisoners of the Eastern Wei and Qi armies?"

When the people in Gangneung were told the content of today's activities, someone pointed to the large camp in front of them and the camp guards walking between the camps and asked.

Wang Xuan explained on the side: "The armies in the camp have their own battalion flags, and those who hang plain flags at the camp gate are the prisoner of war camps. Although the general captured and killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers on this expedition, only more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were actually escorted back to the town. ”

"One, more than 10,000 people? Then, the rest of the enemy army, will they all be killed? ”

Hearing a few numbers from Wang Xuan's casual words, the people in Jiangling couldn't help but stare at and asked.

These discussions in the team reached Li Tai's ears in front of him, and he turned around and said with a smile: "The soldiers are fierce, and it is the best to stop fighting." Since ancient times, only those who are cautious in the use of troops can be called famous generals, and it is also the long-cherished wish of the ancient sages and famous generals to stop fighting and rule by war.

Although I am not talented, I still have this ancient style, and I give orders every time I go to war, abandon my weapons and not kill, but only punish stubborn thieves. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, but there are those who have the idea of survival and live to the Tao, and I can't bear to do harm.

It's just that sometimes the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the enemy is surging and can only be stopped. It is easy to kill, but it is difficult to live, so for these prisoners of war who survived on the battlefield, I also hope that they can understand the virtue of God, change their evil ways, and live up to God's grace. ”

"What General Li said is really benevolent and brave, and it is deeply moving! It's a pity that not everyone in charge of the army is as benevolent and compassionate as General Li, and there is no shortage of evil species such as ferociousness and murder in the world, thinking that they can subdue the world with ferocity, and even if they are brutal for a while, it is inevitable that heaven and man will be condemned together! ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, Na Zong Yi couldn't help but sigh, and the others also nodded in agreement.

Each of them couldn't help but think of the current domestic situation, if Hou Jing's rebellious army was really unstoppable, and the king of Xiangdong could not stop the rebellious army from advancing westward and causing the thieves to enter Jingfu, it would be an ideal refuge for them.
