0766 It is advisable to defend against hegemony first
Although Wang Sengbi took the initiative to make this request, Li Tai politely refused after thinking about it, and did not intend to intervene in Huainan now.
Because there is still a Xiao Yi on the head of the current Wang Seng debate, he does not have absolute dominance, and he may not have reached a consensus with Chen Baxian. It's nothing that there are differences between them, but the key is that they are afraid of a sudden break, which will make it difficult for Li Tai to recover the power he invested in Huainan.
The opponent is strong and not terrible, and the teammates are too scummy, which makes people want to cry without tears. Of course, Wang Shengbi and Chen Baxian are not scumbags, but if they really have different thoughts and drag their hind legs, it is really life-threatening.
The instability of internal relations also made Li Tai dare not hope too much for cooperation between them. And now he is not a small role, although the Northern Qi is making frequent moves in the Huainan region, it basically belongs to the category of robbing while the fire is burning.
But if Li Tai is gone, he may attract the main force of Northern Qi, and the situation in Huainan will probably be even more confusing at that time. This will also greatly interfere with the relatively clear strategic prospects of the Western Wei Dynasty, especially the Jingzhou Governor's Office today.
"Today, the people of Jingzhou still need to recuperate, although they have the heart to participate in the grand event of benevolence and righteousness and save the people of Huainan from fire and water, but it is a pity that they have not been able to catch it. The thief is cruel, unjust, and aggressive, and is also despised by the righteous and righteous! ”
Although he rejected Wang Seng's resignation, after thinking about it, Li Tai continued: "Although I can't do it, I feel the same way, if the army has any material use, the general doesn't matter. If I can help break the thief, I am also lucky. ”
Hearing that Li Tai was unwilling to cooperate, Wang Seng was disappointed in his heart, but when he heard that he was still willing to carry out some material assistance, he was quite moved for a while.
"General Li is so righteous, it is really touching! Alas, it is not a secret, although the thieves in the country are now destroyed, the situation is still far from being calm. There are arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who do not obey the control, and there are kings who urge them strictly, and the soldiers do not disarm, and the ships do not drop their sails, and they run along the river, and they turn to the east and west, and there are strong robbers outside, and there are stubborn thieves inside......"
Wang Seng was a little uncontrollable for a while, and vomited bitterness at Li Tai, an outsider, which shows that he has been depressed for a long time in his heart in the past period of time.
Seeing him like this, Li Tai also sighed in his heart, in the troubled times and the end of the dynasty, no matter the level of status, everyone has to face their own pressure and suffering, and no one can stay out of it. Many people are happy to discuss the ability of heroes in troubled times, but many times it is often the ability to withstand pressure that can determine success or failure.
"General Li gave help to Gao Yi, and thanked his brother and all the soldiers first! The preface entrusts the city and land, which is by no means a conceited and ingenious vertical and horizontal technique, but a willing and sincere strategy. It's a pity that the time has not been met and the plan can't be achieved, and I also hope that General Li can feel this sincerity and don't forget each other. ”
Although the proposal was politely rejected by Li Tai, Wang Seng couldn't help but express his sincerity again in the end.
Although Li Tai did not agree to cooperate immediately, he still expressed his willingness to provide some material assistance, also in order to maintain this contact and wait for a more suitable time.
Although it is said that he may have a big enmity with Nanliang in the future, at the end of the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were different interpretations of loyalty.
Wang Shengbi and Chen Baxian, who is loyal and who is traitor? Wang Seng Bi was forced to abandon Xiao Yi's legal system under the pressure of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Chen Baxian used this as an excuse to attack and kill Wang Seng Bi and re-establish Xiao Yi's bloodline, but finally usurped it himself.
and Wang Lin, this guy appeared with a momentum that wanted to be every day, which can be described as heroic, but in the end, everyone who could kneel knelt down, who had not accepted his surrender, and the three kingdoms were not considered a character in the next three countries. As a result, after going to Yecheng, the people of Yecheng were moved to tears by their loyalty, and they don't know whether Wang Lin is too good at character design, or the people of Yecheng are too lacking in loyalty.
Therefore, Li Tai was not worried that the future attack on Gangneung would bring obstacles to the future united front work, because the standard of loyalty and righteousness in this period was very flexible.
Morality is a code of conduct that people consciously abide by to better participate in social activities, money and power can make people gain greater advantages in social activities, and if you have no money and power, you can only abide by morality and increase your personality charm.
Li Tai is rich and powerful, and at the same time has extremely high moral integrity, he is simply a natural leader. When encountering such a person and still unwilling to cling to it, it is really abandoned by heaven, who can prosper?
Not to mention Li Tai's inner self-psychological construction, when he finished talking with Wang Seng and was about to send him out of the hall, Wang Shengbi, the son of Wang Seng Biao in the military camp outside the city, rushed in from the outside, and came to the front of the hall with a sweaty face.
Wang Xuan first greeted his uncle, and then walked in front of Li Tai to bow and said: "My father is being attacked by a giant thief, and the last general is anxious when he hears the news, although he is not talented and filial piety is difficult, I implore the general to allow the last general to go to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Seng next to him had already paused and shouted: "Ah Lang, stop talking!" Don't be impulsive, your father told me to sue you before leaving, and it is a great blessing for the family that General Li is willing to take you in front of the tent, and you can stay here with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about family affairs. Besides, the troubles you are suffering today cannot be solved by your young disciples, even if you go to no avail! ”
After Wang Xuan heard his uncle's words, he didn't answer, but just bowed deeply in front of Li Tai.
When Li Tai saw this, he simply raised his hand and motioned to arrange a hall for their uncle and nephew to communicate, and he returned to the straight hall to summon the government officials to inquire about the surplus in the treasury and discuss how much material aid would be appropriate for Wang Seng to argue.
Half an hour later, the king outside the hall was asking to see him again, Li Tai brought it in, and there was still a resolute look between his eyebrows, so he said: "You still want to go south to your father?" ”
"At the end, there will be a negative general who will favor and cultivate, and when the father's danger is lifted and he can return to life, the last general will definitely smear his liver and brain to repay the benefactor!"
Wang Xuan bowed deeply to the ground and said in a deep voice.
Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this, this Wang Xuan can also be called a general, but he is not good enough to make it difficult for him to give up, the reason why he left it under the door is also to hope to be able to help Wang Seng defend more safely.
But now that the king is anxious to go, there is no need for Li Tai to be a bad guy and stay behind, and after a little muttering, he said again: "Urged by human nature, I can't talk about disappointing anyone." You can be so pure and filial, but it also confirms that my vision is acceptable.
Now that the government is recuperating by itself, there is nothing to do with the soldiers, since you ask to go, then I wish you a smooth trip. I hope that after you return to your father, your father will not complain that I have wasted his son, and I hope that you can use what you have learned here to defeat the enemy and raise your might! ”
"Thank you for the general's encouragement, thank you for the general's ......"
When Wang Xuan heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head again, and his tone became a little choked.
"It's always a guest and host, but it's not good for you to leave alone. In this case, I will lend you a thousand fine horsemen to go with you, and then send them back to the house after this war is over. As for whether you want to return or stay, and decide with your heart. ”
After thinking about it, Li Tai made such an arrangement again.
Although he doesn't want to increase personnel investment in Huainan at the moment, he doesn't mind strengthening his influence. Moreover, the battle between the Northern Qi and the Southern Liang army on the front line of Jiangbei is also of great significance, and it is also a good choice to send a team of men and horses to observe and accumulate experience.
If we can conduct on-the-spot inspections of important river defense places such as Hefei Dongguan, Guyu Hengjiang, Quarry Ferry, and Zhanggongzhou, then we can also be more targeted when formulating operational plans in the future.
When Wang Xuan heard General Li's arrangement, he became more and more grateful, and seeing his appearance of kowtowing and thanking him again and again, it made Li Tai, who had a ghost in his heart, a little embarrassed.
However, when he thought that these thoughts probably would not be effective in the confrontation with Wang Sengbi, he was also relieved, and hoped that this arrangement would be able to help Wang Sengbi avenge more smoothly in the future.
"At present, the Liang State seems to have settled the civil strife, but the separation of people's hearts is still deep and difficult to eliminate. Your father, an old subordinate of Xiangdong and a Huchen of Jiangling, also had the merit of stabilizing chaos, and it was natural that his name was covered at that time. However, Chen Baxian is also a powerful Lingnan, rarely under the orders of the shogunate, and has been the master of the armies for a long time, and his subordinates are not humble gentlemen, I am afraid that they will not be subjugated for a long time. If you want to live together for a long time, you must not ignore this situation. ”
Li Tai thought for a while and then said: "This is my little insight into the personnel of Liang Guo, and I will give you a reference for making a career when I am leaving." It's not that I want to use your mouth to divide the affairs of the Liang country, but you don't have to make noise when you listen to it. ”
"The last general must be remembered, thank you for the general's advice!"
After hearing this, Wang Xuan hurriedly nodded and said, despite this, Li Tai didn't think he could change anything.
Many times it is the character that determines the fate, and this sentence is especially applicable to Wang Sengbi.
As the main general who quelled Hou Jing's rebellion, Wang Shengbi can be said to be the best military talent at the end of the Southern Liang Dynasty, but when it comes to character and means, he is not even as good as Wang Lin, let alone Chen Baxian, the last fierce man in the Southern Dynasty.
