0717 Plot Longnan
Li Tai's speech today summed up a little, he did not oppose the destruction of Shu, but felt that this matter could still be discussed in the long run, and there was no need to rush for a while.
Under the premise of taking the destruction of Shu as the strategic goal, there are still many things that the Chinese and foreign governments can do at present. For example, dismantling the enemy's internal affairs, developing internal responses, forcing the Shuzhong regime to convey benefits through diplomatic means, and carrying out a regional blockade of Shuzhong through military means, etc.
Although he proposed that the Qinzhou Governor's Office should also join in, he did not say too much about how to implement it.
After all, this is the military domain of the Qinzhou Governor's Office, and the Chinese and foreign governments can order and deploy, but it is not his turn to give instructions and explain specific combat tasks. On the other hand, if Yuwen Dao said what the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion should do, he would only turn a deaf ear to it.
After listening to Li Tai's series of narrations, everyone in the hall also felt greatly benefited. Although they had discussed this topic many times before this, they mainly focused on the military aspect, which was far less extensive than the scope of Li Tai's consideration, especially on some specific issues.
"Today's is the case for the time being, General Li's speech can be described as thought-provoking, and you and others will also think deeply about it after you return, and if you have something, you will make your own progress."
Yu Wentai, who also looked thoughtful, got up and ended the meeting, and then looked down at Li Tai and said with a smile: "Two days off, it's hard to get tired." Boshan Jiuzhen is on the frontier, and the family gathers less and leaves more, and when you return, you should also visit your relatives, and you don't have to rush to the town. ”
Li Tai knew that Daxingtai still had to digest his suggestion before screening and adopting it, and it was estimated that it would take a period of internal discussion to reach a consensus, so he needed to wait a little longer, so he also said that he was indeed going to Chang'an to visit his parents, and it would take a few days to return.
After the crowd dispersed, Yuwentai also returned to the inner house, along with his nephew Yuwendao, nephew Wei Chi Zhen and others.
After a few people sat down, Yu Wentai couldn't help but sigh again: "If you want to plan a big thing, you really have to conspire with a wise man!" A few days ago, all the discussions in the house were not as profound as what Li Boshan said today. ”
As soon as his words fell, Wei Chi Yu spoke: "I'm afraid that his heart is not pure enough, and I am worried that the war in Shuzhong may have an adverse impact on the situation in Jingzhou, so my selfishness cannot be based on the truth." The situation in Liang's country is changing rapidly, who can predict everything? ”
It can be seen that Wei Chi Hui did not agree with Li Tai's suggestion to suspend substantive military action, and because he saw Daxingtai's attitude of agreeing with Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but rise to the level of questioning his character.
Yuwentai was not annoyed when he heard this, but said with a smile: "Fang Jin's person is in danger of the southeast, and his words and suggestions may be deviated due to his position, which is understandable. Without such considerations, it would raise doubts about his ability to do the job. ”
"Li Boshan's merits are conclusive, and it is natural for his uncle to appreciate and rely on him. But the power of Jingzhen is too heavy, even if the uncle is in good faith with him, he is inevitably disturbed by other miscellaneous eyes in the world. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Chi Yu turned his head to look in the direction of Chang'an in the west, and his tone became a little erratic: "Especially now that this is the case in the country, how many incidents have arisen in the near future?" Once or twice may be tolerant, but what I am afraid of is ...... again and again."
When Yu Wentai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and after a while, he said faintly: "It's a pity that Sheng Le fell into the hands of thieves......"
But soon, he cleaned up his mood, looked at Wei Chi Yu and said: "Regardless of the rest for the time being, just whether to attack Shu or not at the moment, what Li Boshan said is still very reasonable. The assault is very difficult, and it is not easy to rectify it after it is successful, if it can get its internal support, it can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you attack it in a hurry, it is inevitable that everything will not be coordinated. ”
When he said this, he turned his head to look at Yuwen Dao, who had been silent, and asked with a smile: "What Li Boshan said today seems to have inspired you a lot." ”
After hearing this, Director Yuwen nodded, Fang wanted to speak but was silent, and after a while, he said again: "It's not inspiring, it's a natural thing to do, but there are too many worries and constraints." If you can take this opportunity to purge the Longnan lands in depth, it will not only make up for the plan to cut down Shu, but also a good plan to stabilize the frontier in the long run! ”
After hearing this, Yuwentai knew that Yuwendao was moved by Li Tai's words, and he became impatient.
"Longnan and other states are uncertain and repeatedly rebelled, even if they surrender to the table, they still continue to plunder behind their backs, which makes our state uneasy and the people are frightened."
Speaking of this topic, Yuwen Dao became a little excited, and even waved his fist: "In previous years, the army was not suppressed, because the mountains and rivers blocked it, and it was useless." But now Li Boshan has proposed to blockade Shu and cut off its trade routes, Fang Jin is not in a hurry to use troops in Shuzhong, so he might as well set Longnan first! ”
The Longnan area is located below the right side of Long, and Wudu and Yinping also belong to the jurisdiction of the Qinzhou Governor's Office, but because of this, the land is mostly mountainous, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, and there are also a large number of Qiang tribes, so the Qinzhou Governor's Office is only restrained and controlled here, and the real ruler of this land is the state established by the Qiang Hao chieftains.
Such as the Qiuchi, Wudu, Wuxing, and Yinping kingdoms established by the Yang clan of the Di people, and the Danchang kingdom established by the Liang clan of the Qiang people. Some of the small regimes in these regions have collapsed, while others are still surviving.
Just the year before the Chinese and foreign government planned to launch a huge eastward crusade, the Qiang people who were originally attached to the Western Wei Dynasty rebelled again, and its internal Hao chief cavalry expelled the canonized king of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the new left governor of the Chinese and foreign government, Shi Yu Wengui, together with the general Dou Luning, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ning, etc., pacified the rebellion, and re-welcomed the expelled king Liang Miding.
When this war broke out, Yu Wendao, the governor of Qinzhou, who was the direct boss, was recalled to China and stayed in Guanzhong to prepare for the eastward crusade of the army.
"This Qiang slave rebellion is not an isolated case. All the Qiang disciples have their own secret thoughts of disobedience, and their hearts will always be devoured, and once they slack off, they will be harassed. Even Liang Miding, the king of Danchang, who now relies on my military power to govern his country, is just humble for a while, and once he indulges a little, he will inevitably raise troops to rebel. ”
Speaking of these rebellious and undetermined Qiang disciples, Yuwendao also felt a headache, looked at Yuwentai and continued: "Uncle should know that I am not a fanatic who is happy to achieve great achievements. Although I have been in Qinzhou for several years, I have only a position, and there are few deeds to boast of. At the time, people said that I was not as far as Taiyuan Gong, and I often encouraged myself that those who were good at fighting had no outstanding achievements, and I was not in a hurry to compete for power. But now Taiyuan has spoken openly about the affairs of my rule, which makes me feel the same way......"
As Yuwentai's most trusted and relied on right-hand man, Yuwendao certainly has a stable and old side, and has completed all the tasks assigned by his uncle over the years, including replacing Duguxin, a senior old man, to sit in Longyou.
But no matter how stable a person is, it is inevitable that there will be occasional emotional churning moments in his heart, especially in recent years, he is often compared with Li Tai and Zang Wei.
At this time, he looked at Yu Wentai without grievances and said: "I am not greedy for merit, but the people on the side are strong, and if there is no merit, it is not enough to win the public!" There are often disturbances in the states of Longnan, rather than allowing their disciples to cause frequent trouble, it is better to get rid of them and organize them to govern them! ”
Yu Wentai knows what kind of character Yu Wendao is, even if he is depressed to the extreme, he will not complain, this time he spoke out only when Li Tai said about this matter before, and what he is talking about is not an overseas rival like Tuyuhun, but these long-term Qiang forces in Longnan, which can be seen to be still stable.
But after a little silence, he still spoke: "It may not be difficult to sweep away these Qiang tribes, but if you need to garrison them for a long time, the cost is still not small. Although the material situation in the country has improved compared with previous years, it is only maintained. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, first glanced at Yuwen Dao, and then said: "Although Jingzhou has made frequent innovations in recent years, the mansion does not spend much for this, and only votes for some armor weapons and canes in the early stage, and the rest are all used to fight to support the war, and there is even a surplus to give back to the mansion. With the accumulation of reserves in Qinzhou alone, can it win this matter? ”
If it's just your own family discussing family matters, the natural atmosphere is relaxed. Of course, Yuwentai is also happy to see all sides open up, but the important point must be made clear, that is, the Chinese and foreign governments do not have a large surplus to support the place.
It's not that Yuwentai is reluctant to spend money, but because the Chinese and foreign governments themselves don't have much surplus.
Although it is related to the various leaders of Longhaoqiang and raising supplies to share the consumption of a part of the army, the Chinese and foreign governments also need to bear a part.
Not to mention that in addition to raising soldiers, the Chinese and foreign governments themselves also have huge administrative expenses. After the Eastern Crusade returned in vain, the river defense expenditure could not be avoided either. I need money everywhere, and Yuwentai doesn't like to cry poor now, that's because he knows that it's useless to cry poor, not because he is not poor.
Especially at present, the cutting of Shu is only delayed, not completely abandoned. The Chinese and foreign governments also need to raise and prepare a batch of materials to maintain the war expenses, so they need to be even more cautious in their budgets. Don't go to Longnan in the end, fight very happily, and when the opportunity in Shuzhong comes out, there is no food to send troops.
That is, in the face of his nephew, Yu Wentai was embarrassed to say it too bluntly, let's not be greedy for merit and don't say it first, Li Boshan fought in the southeast but didn't let the Chinese and foreign governments pay for it!
