0728 Contradictory to the top
In addition to the personnel communication on the Jiangling side, Li Tai did not ignore the Shuzhong side.
Previously, he had promised the Chinese and foreign governments that he would recommend the government officials in the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion who were familiar with the personnel of Shuzhong, so after returning to the north of the city, he began to select personnel.
The personnel interaction between the Jingzhou Governor's Office and Shuzhong was mainly carried out by Li Qianzhe, mainly based on mutual market trade, mixed with some operations that connected the local heroes in Shuzhong.
Of course, Li Tai will not hand over this line to the Chinese and foreign governments. At present, what the Chinese and foreign governments need is candidates who can communicate with Shuzhong at the official level, such as blackmailing Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, and other operations, and to contact and lobby key military personnel, as for other aspects, the demand is not high.
The basis for personnel interaction run by Li Qianzhe still had a lot of value even after the Western Wei Dynasty captured Shuzhong. Li Tai himself did not intend to strive for the position of military and political official in Shuzhong, of course, he needed other ways and means to participate in the distribution of benefits after the capture of Shuzhong.
In addition to Li Qianzhe, the last time Li Tai also sent Liu Fan to Shuzhong to negotiate, send back Xiao Yuanzheng, the son of Xiao Ji, and redeem Wang Yue and others. Liu Fan was originally born in the Southern Dynasty, and previously served in Hanzhong, which was close to Shuzhong, so he was also very familiar with the people in Shuzhong, so the last task was also completed very well.
So this time, Li Tai planned to recommend Liu Fan to the Chinese and foreign governments, so that he could assist the Chinese and foreign governments in some personnel operations in Shuzhong.
Liu Fan is different from Li Qianzhe, he still has a great recognition of the Southern Dynasty in his heart, and he also has his own ethics and persistence. Therefore, Li Tai did not let others participate in the affairs that Li Qianzhe was responsible for, and this recommendation of his return to China was also to let Liu Fan see the arrogant and mercenary style of the Chinese and foreign governments, so as to strengthen his recognition of the governor's mansion in his heart.
When Li Tai summoned Liu Fan and told him about this arrangement, Liu Fan was still a little resistant in his heart, and lowered his head and said: "I am not talented in my position, but I am fortunate to be tolerant and appointed by the general, and I hope to be able to devote myself to things and repay the general's kindness." But there are many old acquaintances in Shu, and it is inevitable to be ashamed to see each other, ashamed and untempered, and it is bearable for Fan to suffer a light and shameful laugh, but if it is tiring, it ......"
Li Tai also understands that Liu Fan's current situation makes him a little embarrassed to face those old acquaintances again, but this kind of shame doesn't need to last too long, anyway, it won't take long for everyone to become slaves.
Although this is the case, Li Tai is not good at directly persuading Liu Fan, and after a little silence, he said: "Not forgetting the original intention is indeed a valuable quality, but sometimes it also needs to be sensitive and flexible. Hanzhong's failure to defend was due to Xiao Lingjun's dullness and negligence, and when he entered the city, he had to rely on Liu Zhonglang's mediation and cooperation, which saved many unnecessary casualties.
The people of the whole city of Nanzheng should be grateful for Liu Zhonglang's virtue, and Liu Zhonglang is only ashamed of the Xiao family. But today, the chaos and great evil in the south of the Yangtze River are rampant, isn't it because the Xiao family has abandoned the world? What's more, now that the King of Wuling is brazenly self-reliant, showing the state of a lone husband who is against the sky and rebelling against the people, Shuzhong will be in trouble soon because of its coercion! If Liu Zhonglang can be diligent in persuasion at this time, even if he can only live alone, it is a hundred times more precious than being alone in a secluded place and feeling sorry for himself! ”
When Liu Fan heard this, his eyes immediately showed a look of contemplation. Although he was ashamed that he failed to swear to Nanzheng, and now he entered the Western Wei Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel disgusted when he thought of King Wuling's rebellion and self-reliance.
After thinking about it, Liu Fancai lowered his head and said: "I know that I don't have an order to match the love of the general, and I often have the idea of being withdrawn and abandoned, but the general still doesn't dislike it, and gives a lot of explanations and encouragements, which really makes the lowly job feel ashamed." But what you have to do, it is incumbent on you to do it, if it is really as the general said, it can save the lives of two or three people, it is all due to the benevolence of the general! ”
Hearing Liu Fan's promise, Li Taicai nodded with satisfaction, and immediately assigned Lu Yan, a member of the government, to Liu Fan as his deputy, and went to the Chinese and foreign mansions together to obey orders. Lu Yan is Lu Tong's younger brother, when Li Tai was in Huazhou before, Lu Tong made a special trip to hope that Lu Yan could be arranged to return to the mansion to take care of each other.
Li Tai didn't say much about this, and nodded directly. It may be that Lu Tong also felt that the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion was gradually becoming a big one, and he couldn't figure out what Daxingtai was thinking, and he was worried that the atmosphere between the Chinese and foreign governments and the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion would become more and more embarrassing in the future, so he recalled Lu Yan in advance.
It's just that Lu Yan still has some objections to this, he just served as the county magistrate of Yuxian County at the beginning of the year, and he is planning to take charge of the party and make great achievements, of course he doesn't want to go back to the Chinese and foreign governments to do those busy but lack a sense of accomplishment.
But since the general had already given this order, and his brother's letter was also sent to Jingzhou, Lu Yan could only nod and agree. But when he said goodbye to Li Tai, his eyes were red, and his tone was slightly choked: "Since Rudushui, the humble post has been serving the general for a long time, and now he has suddenly abandoned each other, and he does not dare to fight, I hope that when the general's subordinates are poor in the next year, they can remember that they can be obedient and obedient!" ”
When Li Tai heard this, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Lu Yan, Cui Yansheng and other members of this group of subordinates were the first to follow him, and they have worked together for many years, and the tacit understanding between them is not cultivated overnight.
He stepped forward and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Whether inside or outside, it is a royal family." There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Lu Lang and I have grown up for more than a year, and there will always be a time to get together again and work together! At that time, if your talent is shorter than your growth, don't blame me for mercilessly scolding! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, but to be taught again, humiliated and honored, how dare you be angry. It's just that I have lost the general's face, and I am afraid it will be difficult to grow if I want to grow......"
Lu Yan is still a little disappointed, in his mind, he only thinks that the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is the most full of vitality, just take the county order of Yuxian County, which he has just put on track recently, because it is where the military government is located, and the governor's mansion is greatly promoting industry and agriculture, the money, grain and personnel it supervises and dispatches are only afraid that even Jing Zhaoyin is inferior. After leaving the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, it is much more difficult to think of accumulating merits elsewhere.
When seeing off Liu Fan, Lu Yan and several others, Li Tai asked them to bring a book recommending Cui You to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou.
Putting aside other considerations, Liangzhou alone is under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, and he has a lot of say in the appointment of Liangzhou's assassin history.
At least if Cui You served as the assassin of Liangzhou, Li Tai also planned to send his subordinate Guo Yan to lead 3,000 men and horses to accompany him, and these 3,000 men and horses could also join the follow-up battle against Shu. If the Chinese and foreign governments are not interested and refuse to agree to Li Tai's personnel proposal, then Lao Tzu will give you a fart support!
After sending Liu Fan and his entourage away, Li Tai sent an envoy to inform Li Qianzhe, who was still active in Bashu, to return to Jingzhou to discuss the follow-up plan.
Li Qianzhe did not dare to delay after receiving this notice, and when he returned to Ankang, he sailed down the river by boat, and returned to Yucheng in early August.
The first thing he did after entering the city was that Li Qianzhe told Li Tai about the results of trade that he had achieved during this time. Since the Jingzhou Governor's Office sent Xiao Yuanzheng back last year and eased the relationship between them, the originally stagnant commerce and trade have been carried out again.
There are also some twists and turns, Xiao Yuanzheng, this kid, because he was angry with the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, broke more than 10,000 of its parts, although it was this kid who was the first to flirt with the cheap, but after returning to the home court of Yizhou, he still tried to find a way to take a bad breath. Due to Xiao Yuanzheng's interference, Li Qianzhe's trade volume with Yizhou Guanshi dropped sharply.
After Li Tai learned of this situation, he felt quite resentful in his heart, and only felt that the Xiao family's nest was full of guys who remembered to eat and not to fight, and who would take revenge. Xiao Yuanzheng, this kid fell into his own hands and returned to Shuzhong, in fact, he was lucky, if he still stayed in Jiangling, he would be directly arrested by his good seven masters and thrown into prison, and in the end, it was a hungry gnawing on his arm, starving to death!
However, although the shipments of Yizhou official market are small, the shipments of private markets have increased significantly. On the one hand, it is because Li Qianzhe is constantly running and contacting in Shu, coupled with the fact that Frost Sugar is highly sought after in Shu, and on the other hand, it is because Xiao Ji is the emperor.
In particular, the latter has brought a great impact to the mood of the Bashu people, and many Shu people are not happy that they finally have another emperor in Sichuan, but are full of a sense of crisis, only feeling that the military disaster is coming, and the good days are estimated to be coming to an end.
Therefore, in the past few months, many Shu heroes have been accumulating extruded Shu brocade in the competition to change sellers, and exchanged it for various other materials. As a result, the price of exchanging frosting sugar for Shu brocade has been further increased.
"Since the reversal of Wuling, the Shu people have rushed to sell brocade goods, and nearly 10,000 horses have been gathered in just a few months!"
When Li Qianzhe said this, he couldn't help but look at Li Taifa and asked, "May I ask Lord Lang, what is the plan of the country for the rebellion in Shuzhong?" Wuling took the throne against him, but the people of the country scrambled to avoid danger, and the top and bottom were contradictory, and it was bound to not last long! ”
