Both parties have this intention, and the efficiency of communication is naturally very high.

Li Tai carefully inquired with Lu Guangda about the specific situation faced by Jinxi and other counties now, as well as the situation of their subordinates, and listened carefully to his appeals, and then decided on the aid plan for Jinxi.

He sent his subordinate Li Tun to lead 3,000 elite cavalry south out of the town of Qichang, which echoed each other geographically with Jinxi County, and once the Northern Qi men and horses invaded the territory of Jinxi in a big way, they could be supported nearby.

At the same time, Li Tai ordered Dou Yi to lead 5,000 cavalry to increase the garrison in Yiyang, making the scale of the Yiyang garrison reach more than 10,000 people, and it was the location with the largest number of garrisons in a single city except for the state governance of the city.

Yiyang's increase in troops is naturally aimed at the entire Huainan, which can directly affect the actions of the Northern Qi army in the entire Huainan. Even if the Northern Qi had a military operation to advance westward along the river, they would not dare to disturb the area controlled by the Western Wei Dynasty too much because they were worried about the heavy troops stationed here in Yiyang.

The Lu brothers were sheltered by the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, and of course they had to express themselves. On the one hand, Lu Guangda wanted to accompany the envoys of Jingzhou to Huazhou to inform Daxingtai of the matter, and on the other hand, Lu Sidda also sent his nephew to Jingzhou as hostages.

In order to be able to obtain the assistance of the Jingzhou Governor's Office as soon as possible, Lu Guangda did not argue with these requests, and all agreed to them, just hoping that the Governor's Office could send troops as soon as possible.

Li Tai was also very efficient, and the next day after finalizing the matter, he ordered his subordinate Zhao Jingzhi to accompany Lu Guangda to Guanzhong, and at the same time, Li Tun also selected the elite cavalry troops and prepared to set off south.

Previously, Li Tai sent men and horses to defeat and capture the king of Shaoling in Southern Liang in Qichang County, but he did not station troops in the other territory, so today's Qichang County still nominally belongs to the Jiangling Military Government.

But it was only in name, and the Jiangling Military Government also had very limited management of these places, especially since many counties in Jiangbei were autonomous by local clans. Just like the Lu brothers who were divided in Jinxi County, when they encountered a powerful enemy and their own strength was not enough to protect themselves, they either surrendered directly or sought protection from a powerful force.

In addition to the Rusida brothers, there are more than a dozen similar requests for attachment, which are basically concentrated in the Huaixi area.

In line with the principle that one sheep is also driven and two sheep are also released, Li Tai handed over to Zhao Gang in Yiyang, Quan Jingxuan in Sanguan and other border town generals according to the different regions where these Huainan Haoqiang were located, and they were recruited and funded according to their different attitudes. In principle, it is not to let the Northern Qi eat too much in one go, even if these places cannot be completely controlled, it is necessary to build a buffer zone with the Northern Qi.

With the collapse of the Southern Liang regime, the local wealthy clans have broken away from the control of the center, and each has entrenched itself in one side and developed and grown, but as the foreign forces bully up, these local tyrants have to quickly choose their position, otherwise they may encounter the fate of being exterminated.

Although the Jiangling Military Government won the victory of the rebellion, it was also full of internal contradictions, and Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, was not a broad-minded and tolerant British lord, and in the face of this scattered and collapsed situation, he didn't know where to clean up for a while.

Not to mention that there are many wolf-ambitious and fierce enemies around him, waiting for the opportunity to deal him a fatal blow. Although the king of Xiangdong is not a stupid white sweet who is ignorant of the world, but in the face of so many people who have no intention of calculating, it is impossible to prevent it.

In addition to receiving some local forces in Jiangbei who were unwilling to belong to the Northern Qi, Li Tai did not forget to attack the core personnel of Jiangling.

When he returned to Guanzhong before, Jingzhou was in full swing to start a journey to find the roots of Jiangling people from Nanyang. When he returned, this series of activities did not end, but became more lively.

Li Tai was too late before, but now that he has returned to the house, after dealing with the affairs accumulated on the desk, he decided to personally come forward to receive these Jiangling Shiliu, and the location is naturally arranged in Hongbin Building, the official guest house in Jingzhou.

The gorgeous and magnificent Hongbin Building, which has long been spread by word of mouth by Jiangling people such as Zongyi who visited before, and what is hotly discussed is the style of Corporal Lixian of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Therefore, many people from the south often go to the building to enjoy and take pride in it after arriving in the north. If you can get the official hospitality of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, it will be even more worth showing off.

When the subordinates of the Governor's Office obeyed General Li's order and sent invitations to the Gangneung people who were still stranded in the north of the city, they were all deeply honored, and they came to Hongbin Tower early on the day of the banquet.

In the morning, Li Tai wore a robe with a wide sleeve with a big collar and rode an ox cart to Hongbin Tower surrounded by his own soldiers, and was soon praised and praised by many Gangneung people who had been waiting here for a long time.

Li Tai was already handsome and magnificent, and after being dressed as a southerner, he gave people a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness, which greatly satisfied the aesthetics of these Jiangling people.

Surrounded by everyone, Li Tai slowly ascended upstairs, and greeted the Jiangling people present one by one under the introduction of the government officials. When everyone came to the banquet hall upstairs, they had already received a cordial greeting from General Li.

After everyone sat down in the hall, Li Tai took the lead in raising a toast and said: "I gather all of you here today, regardless of the old and the young, regardless of the north and the south, all of you are filial piety and righteousness!" The room is full of fragrant fragrance, which makes people laugh, and drink this cup! ”

After hearing this, everyone also raised their glasses in response, and thanked the Jingzhou Governor's Office for the help they provided to their hometowns to visit their hometowns and worship their ancestors.

Because of the large number of guests present, Li Tai was not in a hurry to get on the project, but just maintained the atmosphere of the banquet and chatted with the guests casually.

There are more than 20 Jiangling Shiliu invited to this banquet today, most of them are from Nanyang Liu's family, Yu's family, Zong's family, Le's family and other big families.

The more these big clans, the more they need to trace their ancestral origins, they already enjoy a high social reputation and status, if it is known that the ancestors are left in ruins and dilapidated, and even the ancestors are not very enthusiastic, it will be a serious damage to the reputation of the entire family.

In addition to these clans, there are also a number of other clan representatives. For example, Hu Shengyou, a Jiangling general who also performed well in the battle against Hou Jing's rebellion, whose ancestral home is also in Nanyang, sent his son Hu Changyi to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he was also invited by the governor's office to attend the hall.

Aside from the children of the big clans who enjoy a prosperous life by virtue of the shade of the family, Li Tai is still more interested in Hu Shengyou, a Jiangling general who has gradually gained a prominent position by relying on his own hard work.

So he also learned about Hu Sengyou's family background, and soon learned that Hu Sengyou was also a relatively legendary figure. His people were originally from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they came to the south during the Datong period of the Southern Liang Dynasty, but the Xiangcheng was broken by the Northern Wei Dynasty and taken to the north, and it was not until Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition that he was able to return to the Southern Liang.

Hu Sengyou's experience of returning to Liang twice always made Li Tai feel a little familiar, and after a little thought, he thought that he was similar to Yang Zhong, but Yang Zhong's experience was more colorful than Hu Sengyou's, and the main thing was a north-south horizontal jump.

Hu Changyi, the son of Hu Shengyou, was also full of gratitude for Li Tai's hospitality, and was even more excited than the children of other big clans. I am so grateful for this great grace! ”

"Hu led the southern warriors to guard Jiangling and quell the rebellion, which can be described as a lot of merit. I am also very pleased to be able to help a little bit today, the beauty of adults! ”

Li Tai smiled and accepted Hu Changyi's thanks, planning to take some time to come out and deepen the communication with him. Hu Seng Yu returned to Liang twice, which shows the sincerity of Liang's intentions, Li Tai does not expect to be able to rebel against him, but he can still try to use his voice to prevent Xiangdong Wang Dong from going to Jiankang.

Seeing that the guests in the hall were about to have their own time, Li Tai picked up his wine glass again and said with emotion: "A long time ago, Hu died in chaos, and the people were scattered. Knowing that people leave their hometowns, I don't know how many hardships they can gain a foothold in other places and not lose their family heritage, and now they can return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and worship their ancestors, and they will inherit their bloodlines and not lose their heirs, which can be described as a great luck!

Now your country has succeeded in determining the chaos, but also let the people in the north and south rejoice, presumably soon you will be sent to follow the king of Xiangdong to Jiankang, Jixing Sheji, but Jiankang is dilapidated, all kinds of waste to be revived, you are diligent in the king's affairs, work in Zhongxing, I don't know when you will be able to return to the countryside in the coming year. Today's drinking and entertainment need to be enjoyable, in order to comfort the coming year, you may not know where you are going, but you should know where the soul is! ”

Hearing Li Tai's tea-flavored speech, the originally lively and joyful atmosphere suddenly became depressed and dull, and everyone drank the wine in their mouths, and some were just bitter, do you really want to go to Jiankang?
