0845 To each his own
Wei Xiaokuan wanted to return to Guanzhong early, and he had already communicated with Li Tai before, and Li Tai was quite surprised when he learned of this idea, because he had planned to arrange for Wei Xiaokuan to stay in Jiangling.
Under Wei Xiaokuan's voice, Lu Tong was also slightly settled, and nodded and agreed to Li Tai's proposal, which can be regarded as finalizing the matter.
After the banquet, Lu Tong was naturally busy lobbying the generals, and Li Tai left Wei Xiaokuan behind, and then advised: "Although the past has a clear conscience, it is against the will of Master Yuwen after all. Now that the Taishi is still angry, Jian Zhonggong is in a hurry to return, I am afraid that he will still inevitably be angry!"
When Wei Xiaokuan heard this, he sighed and said, "The last general also knows that the king's words have the meaning of protection, and he also knows that the imperial master may not give up on this. It is an extreme honor for Xiaokuan to be sent to the king's command, but the father and the villagers are rooted in Guanzhong after all. If the last general stays and does not return, Yuwen Taishi is afraid that he will be even more resentful.
Now the return is to be punished, there is a king and the princes of Taiwan to divide the power, and the people of the West need to be calmed down, even if the last general is not courteous, I don't think it will be punished. Moreover, it is also expedient for the king to be based in Shannan now, and if he wants to achieve his wish, he still needs to return to Guanzhong to take charge of the situation after all. The last will now say goodbye, and stay within the fence until the king returns!"
Li Tai didn't want Wei Xiaokuan to return to Guanzhong, in addition to hoping to stay here, he was also worried that he might be punished by Yuwentai's anger after he returned.
But Wei Xiaokuan is not unreasonable, he can be said to be a representative of the local heroes in Guanzhong, and his local attributes are much stronger than those of the Hongnong Yang family who have been in Luoxia for a long time.
And Yuwentai has already killed a Yang Kuan, if Wei Xiaokuan is also killed, it will be equivalent to the rhythm of destroying the representative figures of Guanlong, no matter how scattered the soldiers and soldiers are, I am afraid that they will be shocked, even if they dare not rise up in Guanzhong, it is also an obvious choice to lead the troops to escape from Wuguan and defect to Li Taina.
From this point of view, it is not a bad choice for Wei Xiaokuan to return to Guanzhong at this time. Even if he has lost the trust of Yuwentai, with his military talent and morality and affection for the country, it is also a more appropriate arrangement to place it in a place like Yubi.
Since Wei Xiaokuan still insisted on this, Li Tai didn't say anything more, but just told Wei Xiaokuan that if there were any personnel and material requirements, he would try his best to meet them here.
Wei Xiaokuan didn't have any requirements, after the Battle of Jiangling, the rewards he received were also extremely generous, and his soldiers were full of harvest. And this time when I returned to Guanzhong, there was still a bit of luck and uncertainty, and it was too eye-catching to carry too many goods.
As for personnel, there is no requirement for anything, after all, even Li Tai is in a hurry with all kinds of talents, and there is no spare manpower to support Wei Xiaokuan, but Wei Xiaokuan helped his brother Wei Xiaogu and some relatives and friends to book a few places here in Li Tai's line, and then arrange personnel to come south one after another after he returns to Guanzhong.
Li Tai did not refuse this, and now his grass platform team has just had a name, and it is far from the level where it is necessary to be vigilant against the subordinates to form a party. As Wei Xiaokuan said, it is also expedient for him to establish a foothold in Shannan, and of course it is necessary to appoint enough Guanlong people in Xingtai to maintain a close relationship between Xingtai and Guanlong.
In the next few days, Lu Tong contacted many generals, and the effect could not be said to be none, but it was also a little less than expected.
If you really want to talk about the achievements, even Li Tai's personal soldier Governor Liang Rui was persuaded and expressed his willingness to return to Guanzhong. The other generals were also homesick like Wei Xiaokuan, worried that they would not be able to take into account what happened in the township if they went on the expedition for too long, but most of the generals expressed their hope that they could stay and follow Li Tai to continue to attack Xiangzhou.
On the one hand, today's government soldiers, armor, horses, and canes need to be borne by the governors and generals, and the subsidies given by the Chinese and foreign governments are really unable to meet the daily maintenance consumption of their troops.
On the other hand, that is the welfare of fighting with the king of Taiyuan, which is really cool, although the requirements of military discipline are a bit much, but the king of Taiyuan is really worried that the soldiers will not have enough to eat, and all kinds of awards are dizzying!
And also
One of the more important factors is that the military merit coupons issued by the previous armies can only be exchanged for materials in the Gangneung Military Market, especially high-value materials such as Jinhe sugar. If the soldiers are not exchanged in Jiangling and take them back to Guanzhong, the Chinese and foreign governments will probably refuse to admit it, and they will be directly reduced to a piece of waste paper.
When the soldiers went on an expedition, they naturally hoped to bring back some valuable local specialties, and they did not want to carry cloth or grain to the road. It's just that the materials that are just right in Guanzhong are also limited in the military market.
If the soldiers want to maximize the profit of the bills in their hands, they also need to wait in line for the corresponding supplies to be supplied by the big bank. Even if there are some people who are very anxious, they are not willing to have the reward invalid or the value is greatly reduced, and they still have to wait to exchange materials in the military market.
Therefore, Lu Tong and the others wandered between the camps, and their mouths were almost worn out, and in the end, there were still not many soldiers who could really determine that they could immediately embark on the return journey, and Wei Xiaokuan's men and horses plus other troops added up to more than 7,000 people.
In the end, Li Tai felt that Yu Wentai might be annoyed and angry in this way, so in order to avoid adding any variables, so the staff temporarily increased the exchange quota for some high-value materials, and only then did he gather the first batch of 10,000 horses to return to Guanzhong.
After these 10,000 men and horses were assembled in the north of Jiangling City, they needed to divert to Shicheng first, and join Yu Jin's father and son, Yuwen Hu and Hou Mochen brothers, who were detained in Shicheng, and then return together.
Before leaving, Liang Rui went to the big tent to bid farewell to Li Tai, and after entering the tent, he knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Li Tai, but said in a deep voice: "The last general thanks the king for his teachings over the years, this resignation, no matter where he is, remember the king's kindness and righteousness!"
"Hmph, it's fashionable to follow the account and don't think about retribution, what do you say to remember after going against the other!"
Li Ya, who was standing in the tent, snorted coldly when she heard Liang Rui's words, and then bowed to Li Tai and said, "The last general is a pawn under the king's tent in life, and a powerful ghost in death, no matter whether he lives or dies, he will definitely not leave the king!"
Thank you so much!
Li Tai glanced at Li Ya and then looked at Liang Rui with a gloomy expression, and said with a smile in his mouth: "A man's husband, but he can be faithful to the festival, what is the difficulty of the rest? No matter where Liang Lang is, he can do something good if he does not violate his pure conscience. Back then, King Yuwen brought you into my account, and I took care of and taught, and this time I returned, can you ask on my behalf if you can live up to the trust?"
Liang Ruijiu has been under Li Tai for a long time, and they also have a lot of feelings for each other. But this kid lost his father at a young age, he was raised by Yuwentai, and now the two mansions are out of harmony, and Yuwentai specially sent someone to summon Liang Rui to return to the house, and he wants to be his wife, and Liang Rui's resignation is also reasonable.
After Liang Rui bowed and left, Li Tai looked at several Feng, who had been silent beside the case, and said, "Lu Changshi also came to summon you, why don't you return to Guanzhong first to discuss marriage and start a family?"
"What? Brother Bodhidharma, you are also called? Why didn't anyone ask me?"
After hearing this, Li Ya, who was still staring at the loyalty just now, suddenly looked surprised, this kid had just made a windfall not long ago, and he was bursting with self-confidence, but when he heard that others had treatment, he didn't, and his mentality suddenly became unbalanced: "Master Yuwen is dizzy, don't you hear that I am also a military hero!"
"Shut up!"
A few Feng were not in a good mood, so they didn't bother to pay attention to Li Ya's gags, stepped forward to look at Li Tai Zhengse and said, "Lu Changshi did come to ask, and he also brought a letter from my mother's family, hoping that I can return to Master Yuwen for his favor and give his daughter a family. But I think my mother is a woman after all, and I don't necessarily think about the short-term when I see the long, not to mention that Aya has already entrusted me to my brother.
In today's situation inside and outside, I am not a shrewd person, rather than putting myself in a dilemma for the sake of greedy temporary grace, it is better to follow my brother from my own heart, which is not unfilial piety. My brother must take care of my future, and I can't let my widower die old!"
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, stood up from the seat, raised his arm and put his arm on the shoulder of several phoenixes and patted it hard.
He came to this world and met many people, but the help of several Hui to him is really irreplaceable, and the relationship between him and several Feng is no worse than that of his own brothers. He didn't say anything when Lu Tong went to contact a number of phoenixes before, and he also respected a number of phoenixes' own thoughts, but now he heard that a number of phoenixes had made up their minds, and he was in his heart
I am very gratified.
"I also have the same idea as Brother Dharma, and the owner of the village should also take care of my future! I left a lot of money before I left, but it wasn't for me to continue to live alone in Gangneung."
Li Ya saw the intimacy between the two of them as if in the past, so she couldn't help but step forward and say, straightening her belly slightly, a gold belt wrapped around her waist was dazzling, and by the way, she put forward her own request: "The daughter of Kansai is too tough, can the owner allow me to choose one of the choices in Gangneung City?"
