In the Wei army camp outside Jiangling City, there was laughter and laughter today, and the faces of the soldiers were filled with cheerful smiles, this is because there was an extra meal in the camp today, and the reason for the extra meal was that General Li was happy, so he was happy with all the soldiers!

In fact, as early as a month ago, the lady who was placed in Xingzhou by Li Tai gave birth to a child and the news that the mother and child were safe was sent to Jiangling. However, at that time, Gangneung had just been conquered, and there were still various military and political affairs to be dealt with urgently, and Li Tai himself was too busy to publicize the matter for the time being.

Now that the situation in Gangneung has initially stabilized, Li Tai has the leisure to be happy that he finally has offspring.

Today, he can be regarded as a power leader, and whether he has descendants is not only a matter of inheritance within the family, but also a more serious political issue.

Of course, now that he is in the prime of life, the latter problem is not serious, even if he really has an accident one day, it is unlikely that his son will inherit his power. After all, the situation that even he can't cover up must be extremely critical, and the position of the gang boss must of course be dominated by the capable, and it is impossible to arrange a stinky kid, such as Yuwentai who took over He Bayue's class back then.

Now all kinds of rewards have been distributed, and the supplies of the armies are also self-raised through the military market. However, all the soldiers followed him out on the expedition and stationed outside, and entertained him with good food and drink, which can be regarded as his main general.

The soldiers of the army were full of wine and food in the camp, and Li Tai's Chinese army tent was also full of overseers who came to congratulate him. However, it is still within the conquest period, and although it is said that the surrounding area of Gangneung has gradually settled down, there is no guarantee that any accidents will happen, so Li Tai is only ordering a little expression, and he must not get carried away.

Because the governors who came to congratulate were too enthusiastic, the flowing water banquet in the big tent was also changed one after another, and it was not until the evening when the barracks began to be under martial law and forbidden to enter and exit, and the big tent of the Chinese army was quiet.

"The Duke of Taiyuan is finally happy to be Ding Nan, the heir is orderly, and this time to destroy the country, it can really be described as double happiness!"

The generals in the big tent dispersed, and Li Mu and Li Tai, who had been here for a day, turned to sit in the other tent, and after taking two sips of the sobering soup in their hands, Li Mu still looked at Li Tai with a little hazy drunken eyes and said with a smile: "Now that the situation in Jiangling has stabilized, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State are also in the prison camp, there will be no more major repetitions. ”

When he said this, Li Mu's eyes flickered a little, I don't know if it was because he was drunk, he didn't dare to look directly into Li Tai's eyes, but the wandering gaze did not leave his face, and he looked a little awkward.

Li Tai knew what Li Mu was thinking in his heart, but he was worried that he would take advantage of this great achievement and the army here, and the Sino-foreign government would become more discordant and the contradictions would intensify, so he used this incident to test his attitude.

"Alas, I've been grieving about it lately! Things have come to this point, and even if I am not absolutely innocent in the eyes of some narrow-minded people, I can still say that I am worthy of myself! Wu Angong and I have known each other for a long time and know each other well, especially this time when I come south, I should know more about my situation. ”

Li Tai sighed after a little groaning, looked at Li Mu's erratic gaze and said: "Now it is difficult to perform merit, and I don't even know whether it is merit or sin, and the world is so evil that it is wrong, who is to blame?" ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, Li Mu couldn't help but high-five and sighed: "Taiyuan Gong has grievances in his heart, I can really understand it!" The Duke of Zhongshan is clumsy but arrogant, so that such a change is derived, forcing the Duke of Taiyuan to rise up to protect himself. The public has a genius, although it has been obstructed, but in the end it can still attack Gangneung, it is really magnificent!

To tell the truth, I also had a secret grudge in my heart back then, only saying that I fought bravely, and I was born and died from the Lord. Do you still remember the old year when you were looking for a job for me? At that time, although I received this favor, I still had secret resentment, until I was trapped in Guangwu, Taiyuan Gong ran to rescue, and since then I know that Gongcheng can trust life and death. Therefore, before I was in Wuning, looking at the Taiyuan official book, I had no hesitation......"

Although Li Mu's face was still a little drunk, his words were very smooth, which showed that he had already been muttering in his heart many times, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to confide in himself.

Li Tai never thought that now that he was in charge of the army, he would be able to command all the soldiers and horses, and they were all loyal to him, and there were not a few people with this kind of psychology like Li Mu. They admire their own talents and are willing to follow themselves to create meritorious deeds, but if they follow themselves to fight against the hegemon, there will be some resistance and reservations in their hearts.

Li Tai had long known this, so after he seized military power from Yu Jin, he did not take advantage of the chaos of the army and the emptiness of the pass to directly attack Wuguan, but gathered all the men and horses to continue to attack Jiangling.

One of the meanings that Li Mu repeatedly emphasized in these words is that no matter what the current situation is, Li Tai has also been extremely trusted and cultivated by Yuwentai, and if he completely breaks with the overlord, it will be more or less inappropriate.

Seeing that Li Tai was silent, Li Mu no longer pretended to be drunk, and simply turned over from the banquet, bowed in front of Li Tai's seat, and said in a deep voice: "Taiyuan Gong is now entangled in right and wrong, and it is difficult to play, and each knows how to do it. The Lord stepped forward or was blinded by dust for a while, but how could it be so easy to break off the bond of kindness and righteousness for many years?

If even Taiyuan is public and difficult to tolerate in the house, then who can conspire with each other in the world? Public anger is difficult to express, and a certain wish is white. If someone can live, then how can the public be innocent? If a certain person cannot be tolerated, the past is owed to the Lord, and the crime is deserved, the great merit of Taiyuan Gong is not allowed to be done to the country, and it is reasonable to raise troops to redress grievances! ”

Li Tai was still lamenting in his heart that their Gaoping Li clan was too deeply tied to Yuwentai after all, so that Li Mu was entangled and depressed, and when he heard that Li Mu himself had calculated this scene, he was also quite touched, and he hurriedly got up to help Li Mu up, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Even if I am not a talented person in the world, I will never let my friends find out the future for me with their lives!" Wu Angong, please rest assured, this dispute between me and the Chinese and foreign governments will be properly resolved. Fang Jinju has not been eliminated, how can he fight in the same room? For the people of Gangneung, I still live a righteous life, and as for the troubles in the country, I will also be able to seek common ground while reserving differences! ”

"I, I know that Taiyuan has a plan, and I will, I will be able to properly resolve these disputes!"

When Li Mu heard Li Tai make this statement, he nodded with joy and said.

When Li Tai saw this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, even if I have a plan, it depends on whether our boss cooperates or not.

The most important thing for people is to recognize the reality, now Li Tai has put the situation very clearly, and now his size has reached the level that the hegemony can not tolerate, if Yuwentai is not willing to let go, let him create a new and joint victory, even if it is either the hegemony dismantles and dismantles Li Tai's forces, or Li Tai continues to grow and directly supports the hegemony.

In the face of fate, Li Tai has taken the lead, as long as he can hold on, what he is arguing with at the moment will eventually belong to him.

Therefore, after the capture of Gangneung, he only focused on stabilizing the situation in Gangneung, and he seemed to forget about the disputes with the Chinese and foreign governments, and did not even send troops back to help Chubei.

When a person has power, it is not so much important for him to know what he should do, but to understand what he does not have to rush to do. Now Yu Wentai is probably racking his brains in Guanzhong to save the situation, but because he can't find the right direction, the harder he tries, the farther he may deviate from the right track, and the closer Li Tai is to success.

It is not only Yuwentai who can't figure out the right direction and tosses blindly, but also Xiao Jing, the king of Liang.

In today's Jiangling, the situation is becoming more and more stable because of Li Tai's various regulations and measures, but under this seemingly stable appearance, there is still a certain undercurrent.

I don't know when it began, some remarks circulated in the wells of Jiangling City, talking about the idea that General Li seemed to be benevolent and righteous, but in fact he was fighting the idea of holding Liang into self-respect, just like Hou Jing, at first he deceived people through Hui Zheng, but soon his hideous face was exposed, and he wanted to give all the soldiers and soldiers under his command as slaves, and finally trouble the entire Jiangnan and even the world again!

Needless to say, the damage caused by Hou Jing's rebellion to the people in Jiangnan is needless to say, even if Jiangling was not captured by the rebel army, but there were also a large number of downstream soldiers fleeing, their fear and hatred of Hou Jing's rebel army can be said to have penetrated into their bones, and when similar rumors were heard again, panic spread in the crowd suddenly.

Rao is Wei troops stationed in the city reacted in time and quickly controlled the spread of rumors, but panic had also begun to spread among Luli.

When Li Tai in the military camp outside the city learned of this, he immediately frowned. Whether in ancient times or in later generations, rumor-mongering is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to engage in sabotage.

When a rumor spreads, it takes countless efforts and costs to clarify and make up for it, and often it has little effect.

Rumors don't need any logic, as long as Hou Jing, a person full of evil, is connected with Li Tai, then he can be directly stigmatized! And the analogy between Hou Jing and Li Tai is already more logical. Hou Jing was also a northerner, and at the beginning of the rebellion, he also carried out a series of demagogic behaviors such as exempting taxes and taxes, and also won successive battles in military affairs.

With the investigation of the Wei army stationed in the city, the source of the rumors was quickly locked, and it was Yin Deyi, a member of the army under the command of Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, and several other Xiangyang vassals.
