"Did the envoy from Xiangzhou attract it?"

After the affairs on the desk were settled, Li Taicai looked up and asked.

After hearing this, the secretary of the office who was ready to ask questions hurriedly stood up and replied, "Tell the king, the envoy of Xiangzhou is waiting to be summoned in the front hall. It's just that one of them is the brother of Han Langzhong who was separated due to the war, and he didn't intend to meet here again today, and both brothers are full of joy and sorrow......

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Tai couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, so he inquired a few more seriously.

"Then don't disturb their reunion for the time being, go and tell Han Langzhong, let him say goodbye to his brother, and set up a banquet in the house tonight. The city's Chinese military officials also went to the palace to attend the banquet and see this lost and regained true love in the world."

Li Tai looked at the sky, and then commanded again.

Regarding Wang Lin's invitation, he also understood in his heart what the situation was, and did not treat it as a major event. Originally, he planned to summon the envoy while it was still some time before it was dark, and express his attitude and request on this matter slightly.

But when he heard that there was another episode, he changed his mind and planned to entertain the group officially. Of course, it is not that there has been any change in the attitude towards Wang Lin's surrender, but because the reunion of relatives after the catastrophe makes people happy to hear it.

Although Li Tai is already in a high position, he has not extinguished the emotions of ordinary people, and he is also quite grateful when he hears this kind of happy event in the world of family and friends reunion and reunion. Especially at the end of this war-torn post-Three Kingdoms period, such a thing can be called a legend in the world.

Since he did not plan to summon the envoy from Xiangzhou for the time being, Li Tai continued to deal with some unimportant affairs. By the time more than an hour had passed, the sky had already darkened, the lights were lit in the hall, and a government official came to the hall to tell that the banquet had been prepared in the annex hall and could start at any time.

When Li Tai heard this, he put down the pen in his hand, smiled and said to everyone in the hall: "The case is hard work, and it makes people mentally tired. If you don't have anything important on your desk, you might as well go and smell the happy events of other families to wash your ears and refresh yourself."

All the members in the hall were also waiting for the king's words, so after hearing the words, they all got up and laughed, and went out of the door with Li Tai to the banquet hall.

At this time, many officials in the hall had already arrived, and they were chatting with each other after sitting down with each other. In order to enliven the personnel atmosphere, Li Tai has been often giving banquets during this time, so the people in the house, regardless of their origins, are now gradually familiar with it.

When they heard that Li Tai was coming here, everyone got up and walked out of the hall to greet them.

Li Tai waved his hand in response to everyone's courtesy, and his eyes searched the crowd, and finally fell on Han Xian, who was strongly recommended by Zhao Gang to serve as Xingtailang, and said with a smile: "Among Han Lang, which one is your closest relative who has been separated after a catastrophe and is now reunited?"

"King Qiqi, this one is my brother!"

Han Xian had already recovered from the surprise of reuniting with his brother at this time, but his face was still filled with a rich smile that could not be dissolved, and after hearing the king's question, he hurriedly pushed his brother to him to introduce him.

"In Xia Han Shao, the villagers of Huainan did not die after chaos, and now they are under the command of Wang Xiangzhou, the general of Zhennan, and the co-chief Shi Peihou was ordered by Wang Xiangzhou to cross the river to the north and come to ask for the king's order!"

Han Shao also hurriedly bowed his waist and crossed his hands to salute Li Tai, and Changshi Pei Zheng, who had been ignored by the situation, also attracted him.

Li Tai smiled slightly after hearing this, bowed his head to Pei Zhengluo, who also came forward to salute, and motioned for everyone to enter the hall to participate in the banquet together.

After entering the hall, everyone sat down in turn, and after a tour of wine, Li Tai asked about the Han brothers' respective experiences from separation to reunion. In the troubled times, in addition to the disputes between princes and generals, it is undoubtedly the personal experience of these ordinary people that best represents the essence of the troubled times.

Han Xian was the first to talk about the ransacking of the township by Hou Jing's rebellion, and after he was separated from his brother, he wandered all the way to the sphere of influence of the former Jingzhou Military Government, and was appreciated and taught by Zhao Gang.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh after listening to it, although Han Xian's encounter was the first one

One period is indeed a bit tragic, but the follow-up is getting better and better, and the improvement of his personal situation is just in line with the development and growth of the Jingzhou Military Government, and many people can't help but feel it.

Li Tai was originally just curious about this, but after listening to Han Xian's story, he couldn't help but be more impressed by this young man, and he remembered it in his heart.

Han Shao doesn't have the good luck of his own brother, his experience is more tortuous and cruel, and at the same time more attractive. When he talked about being coerced by Hou Jing's chaotic army outside Jiankang City in Jiangnan, the entire hall was already silent, and everyone stopped their words and actions and quietly listened to Han Shao's story.

Even Li Tai was no exception, it was the first time he had heard someone tell the details of Hou Jing's rebellion from the perspective of the lower echelons of the rebellious army, so he listened very carefully.

When he heard that this strong man killed a battalion of rebellious troops with his own strength in order to avenge his bloodbathed relatives, Li Tai couldn't help but be moved and took the lead in applauding. Although he also has the brave deeds of taking the head of the enemy general in the chaotic army, but this kind of behavior that he does not hesitate to do even though he knows that he is almost certain to die, and he can't help but have some respect for those who can do it.

Unlike the Gangneung masses who listened attentively to the Han brothers' stories of their past experiences, Pei Zheng, who was also an envoy to surrender, was much more anxious. Originally, he was quite happy to see Han Shao reunited with his lost relatives, and looked forward to helping him to surrender in the future.

But now it seems that the situation is a little different from what he thought, and the people of Jiangling have obviously been more interested in the deeds of the Han brothers since the king of Taiyuan, and they are more cold to his envoy who came to ask for surrender, and it seems that they are not in a hurry to quickly settle the war south of the Great Lake.

Since he was not taken seriously, Pei Zheng planned to take the initiative to fight for it. When Han Shao finally finished speaking, without waiting for the others in the banquet to express their feelings, he took the lead in standing up and saluted Li Taichang and said, "Da Wang De was Jianghuai, believe it today!" Han's Kunzhong reunited in the king's mansion today, and he was also deeply blessed by the king, so there was such a good story that touched the world! Now there are many innocent people south of the Great Lake who yearn for the king's mercy, and tens of thousands of disciples in the city of Changsha are worshipping the king's gift to live......

Pei Zheng's snatching suddenly brought everyone's thoughts back to reality, and Li Tai looked at Pei Zheng with some displeasure and frowned and said, "What does Pei Ji, who colluded with thieves in Jiangling City to murder my envoy before, have anything to do with Pei Hou?"

When Pei Zheng heard this somewhat unkind tone, his heart suddenly sank, and after a few thoughts in his mind, he arched his hand and said: "Pei Ji is a cousin of the same clan, if the king is guilty of this, he will not dare to plead. If it is not remedied, the old rule of Gangneung may not exist, and the loyalty to the monarch is a plan, so it has to be done.

Today's affairs should really be worried in the past, the old thoughts, the loyalty to the country in the old days, and the unforgivable sin now. Even if a certain person is killed because of this, it is a matter of course. Only now come to worship, what you invite is not this honor and disgrace, but the opportunity of all living beings in Xiangzhou. If the king is willing to be merciful and tolerant, Pei will die without regrets!"

After Li Tai heard this, his frowning brows stretched faintly, and his impression of this Pei Zheng also faintly changed.

He had always had a relatively moderate attitude towards the conquest of the Southern Dynasties, and if he wanted to bridge the centuries-old division, the use of pure violence would only be counterproductive, as was the case with Gangneung and the same with Xiangzhou.

But mildness does not mean blindly tolerating and tolerating, especially those shortcomings of the Southern Dynasties, and he will never accept them all without screening for the sake of a temporary united front effect. For example, Wang Lin and his core subordinates are the existence that Li Tai cannot tolerate.

What does Wang Lin say, it's not like a person who can be cultivated by the soil of the Southern Dynasty, but more like a wolf cub who emerged from the soldiers in the North Town, greedy and evil, brutal and unkind, capricious and mercenary, and what can be praised is the righteousness and loyalty to Liang Zuo, but the latter point of watching his actions should also be marked with a big greeting.

But even if there are no question marks, what is the significance of these two points to Li Tai? In particular, the corruption of the military discipline of Wang Lin's subordinates was well-known throughout the Later Three Kingdoms.

Most of the other Haoqiang army leaders are relatives and fellow villagers, and Wang Lin's subordinates have almost enveloped the most vicious Jiang bandits and road tyrants in the entire Jianghuai River, and these people are in chaos

is old, unruly, and extremely attached and loyal to Wang Lin, and there is no even any value of reorganization and probation.

Although Li Tai also has a desire to end the battle of Xiangzhou quickly, after all, with the passage of time and the changes in people's hearts, Guanzhong may have further actions against himself, and it is not a matter of placing a large number of troops in Xiangzhou for a long time. But it doesn't mean that he has to tolerate Wang Lin and his subordinates continuing to exist under his rule, and this hidden danger is, of course, solved as soon as possible.

After a little muttering, he looked at Pei Zheng and said, "Liang Zuo is declining, and so is the will of heaven! The old man of the Xiao family led the wolf into the house, caused trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and the achievements of the past years were ruined, and only the evil karma was full of the world. During this period, the talents of the middle and lower levels of the Liang lord have temporarily become the trend of Zhongxing because of the work of the masses, after all, it is difficult to be the master of the industry. Does Pei Hou agree with this?"

"This is the case, but I am ashamed that I cannot die in the country. The king gave him advice, but he did not dare to be resentful."

Although Pei Zheng felt very uncomfortable being left behind in his homeland in this way, he was now controlled by others, and he could only nod and admit that you were strong and that it made sense for you to say anything.

Hearing Pei Zheng nodding in acknowledgement, Li Tai said again, "Although Wang Lin is strong, can he disobey the mandate of heaven? Defeat or death is already doomed, if you really have the heart to return to righteousness, you should cross the river by yourself, and ask for sins in the south of the city, but it can't do it, only send you and wait, what is the reason!"
