In Xiayang Mountain Zhuye, Li Tai often came and went in and out in his early years when he was a subordinate official of Yuwen Taiba's Mansion, but after that, he had no chance to communicate again. This revisit to the old place is very churning up some old memories accumulated in my mind.

Now that the scale of Xiayang Zhuye is a little larger than in the old years, it can be seen that the war potential of the Western Wei Dynasty to supply armor and staff has also been improving. Around the Zhuye Workshop, a gathering point of the city has been formed, which looks very prosperous and lively.

Because it was a temporary patrol, in order not to disturb the normal production of the workshop, Li Tai did not enter the workshop to visit, but went straight to the prisoner of war camp, and ordered the officials here to summon the Northern Qi generals who had been sent here before.

The old Dongfang that Gao Le wanted to see was Gao Aocao's old department, and they had an old relationship with each other, and when Gao Le was punished for being implicated by Gao Zhongmi, he also lost these old people to intercede and protect him. Now that the situation has changed, Gao Le naturally wants to give the other party some help, so he asked to go with the officials here, wanting to see the old man as soon as possible.

As for Zhang Baoluo, who Lu Shuhu wanted to meet, it was not out of personal friendship, but because of this Zhang Baoluo's own resume in Northern Qi.

Zhang Baoluo was originally a powerful man, forced to mutiny in the Six Towns and went south with the people, and later participated in the Ge Rong Rebellion, and then went under the command of Er Zhurong and was finally recruited by Gao Huan.

This kind of experience is not much different from most of the heroes and generals of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, and because Lu Shuhu attaches great importance to it and wants to invite him, it is that he once guarded Jinzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In that year, Gao Huan's army attacked Yubi City, fought hard for a long time, and left several generals to stay in Jinzhou, Zhang Baoluo was one of them.

Jinju is the area of Linfen in later generations and Pingyang today, and its place can be called the southern gate of the Jinyang regime. Previously, Erzhu Rong established the hegemony in Jinyang, and appointed Gao Huan as the assassin of Jinzhou, and Gao Huan also gained a huge improvement in his identity and power during his tenure as the assassin of Jinzhou, and then had the qualifications and ability to destroy the Erzhu clan in the future.

Nowadays, the Western Wei Dynasty is based on Hedong and the Northern Qi Dynasty is based on Taiyuan, and Jinzhou is to the Northern Qi Dynasty similar to the Jade Bi to the Western Wei Dynasty, both of which are important border towns.

Lu Shuhu is good at talking about military affairs, and when he met Li Tai before, he talked about his copy of Pingxi Ce, and used the Fenbei area as the base of the next east-west confrontation and attack. Now that he was holding a staff position in the Chinese and foreign governments, he learned that the Western Wei had obtained a Northern Qi general who had held an important position in Fenbei, and of course wanted to get in touch with him to understand a more comprehensive personnel arrangement in Fenbei.

Not to mention the two uncles and nephews who were waiting in the straight hall, Gao Le was eager to visit his friends, and after searching for the camp general in the camp, he learned that Dongfang Lao and the others were arranged to serve in the Mint Office today, so he transferred to the Mint Office.

Because the Mint Office was newly established, the tasks were relatively heavy, and it was because of the shortage of labor, so many laborers were called here. In addition, the coins minted were relatively sensitive, so in order to avoid entrainment and smuggling, heavy soldiers were stationed around, and because of the warrant of the Duke of Tang, Gao Le was able to enter it.

The conditions in the workshop were harsh, and the smoke was smoky, and at first glance it was full of numb laborers, and the battalion general had to look for the people he wanted to see through the supervisors, and Gao Le's eyes were constantly searching for them.

"Eastern Ender, Eastern Ender can be here?"

After a fruitless search, Gao Le simply shouted loudly at the crowded place, and as he shouted a few times, a slightly hoarse and tired voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Gao Liangbi, Gao Goro, is it really you?" Are you here to save me?"

Gao Le followed the prestige, and saw a middle-aged man in a coarse linen dress standing in the crowd who was trying to lift his rickety waist, but the basket on his shoulder was full of waste residue, so that he could not straighten his waist, but the dirty and haggard face was undoubtedly his old friend Dongfang Lao.

Gao Le hurriedly strode forward, grabbed the basket on Dongfang Lao's shoulder, turned him up and down to look him twice, and said in a deep voice: "If Lao Tzu didn't save you, couldn't he come because he was greedy for the fragrant smoke of this furnace cave? How are you? Are there any illnesses and wounds in your body?"

"It's a good luck, it's just that your Kansai labor is too heavy and your diet is too unheard!"

Dongfang Lao squeezed out a few miserable smiles on his face, and even opened his mouth to complain. The two are not only old friends, but also robes who once served under Gao Aocao, and they have a deep affection for each other, although there are many differences

year, but after meeting now, there is no need to be polite to reminisce about the past, and the tacit feeling of getting along in the past is back.

"Ha, hasn't Lao Tzu been in the East Thief Slave Camp? The thief master of your family has never treated the slave camp soldiers as if they were guests, and the famous kings and generals of Jinyang City have to go to Jiafang to serve in person, isn't this labor hard and heavy?"

Gao Le stepped forward to support Dongfang Lao, and at the same time sneered unceremoniously, and even pointed to his brocade robe and belt without showing off, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Isn't the slave suffering this time asking for his own suffering? If you can see the opportunity early, and run with me to the Lord, and enjoy the glory and wealth, how can you fall to this!"

"Who could have predicted the flow of the world? Your glory today, my downfall today, are beyond the power of you and me. I don't expect to be able to enjoy the glory again, and it's a joy to be able to reunite with my old friends before I die!"

Dongfang Lao sighed again after hearing this, and whispered sadly.

"Disgusted things look down on me? Do you think that I am not able to shelter a prisoner in the kingdom today? As long as you are willing to serve my Lord faithfully, I will protect your future. If it's just to catch up, why should I be here!"

As he spoke, Gao Le pulled Dongfang Lao to the outside.

However, Dongfang Lao still sighed and said, "Liangbi, you are willing to come to meet me, I am already grateful, as for recommending me to the top, there is really no need. The sky has treated me well, even if I am tortured by any criminal crimes in the future, it is only the result of too deep killing karma and deep sins in my life, and I should not share your blessings and covet your luck.

Moreover, today's Qi lord is not called benevolent and righteous, and there are often mean and tyrannical things. In the old days, we led a large army to the south but the division was defeated and humiliated the country, which must have made him deeply resentful, and if I had been known to have joined the Western Dynasty, I am afraid that none of my relatives in the Kwantung region would survive.

So Liangbi for your kindness, I can only thank you. The Tang Gong of Guanxi is benevolent and righteous, and there are virtuous ministers such as Liangbi under his command who are driven by him, even if I, the general of the defeated army, can benefit less, and I am nothing more than a thief of thieves......

After Gao Le heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while, in recent years, there has been no shortage of personnel interactions between the East and the West, so all kinds of cruel and tyrannical deeds of Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, have also spread a lot in Kansai. As Dongfang Lao said, Gao Le's job placement in the Western Wei Dynasty is of course very simple, there are no high and low, but to ensure that his relatives in the Kwantung are not implicated and persecuted, then he will not be able to whip up.

"I don't have the wisdom to solve your troubles, but I can't bear to see you continue to suffer. You should first come with me to the Lord, and ask the Lord if he has a good plan to take refuge."

After a moment of silence, Gao Le said to Dongfang Lao, but then he couldn't help but scold: "Such a tyrannical and unscrupulous person should be respected, how can the numerology of the law be solved? You Kanto people will not rebel, and you are willing to ***, and you have nothing to do with others!"

This was more or less mean, and Dongfang Lao was very uncomfortable when he heard it, so he couldn't help but retort in a low voice: "Is the black otter a benevolent? Didn't he violently kill and harm the relatives of the traitors?"

"But the matter in the country today is my lord Tang Gong!"

After hearing this, Gao Le immediately said angrily: "As for the past, cow dung or horse manure, you still want to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the fine taste, isn't it ***?"

Because Gao Le talked with Dongfang Lao for a while, and several other Qi generals had already been introduced into the prisoner of war camp first, Gao Le led Dongfang Lao to the outside of the hall to see Tang Chengcheng talking to a few people about business, so he stood outside the hall first, waited for a while, and then went inside to ask for advice.

In the direct hall of the prisoner of war camp, Li Tai looked at these generals with great interest, and recalled their respective resumes in his mind.

Northern Qi attacked Southern Liang Jiankang this time, aside from Xingtai Zhao Yanshen, who was not in charge of the front-line war, Murong Yan should be the highest-ranking among the generals, and his qualifications are also deep.

Murong Yan was not born in the town army, as early as the Zhengguang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huandu's situation had just improved because of eating soft rice, Murong Yan had already joined the army and fought in Huainan, and also defeated Wang Shennian, the father of Wang Shengbi. But the significance of these resumes is not great, after all, after the Six Towns Mutiny, the position of the world's martial artists has changed to a new law, and it is destined to be much more difficult if it is not from the town soldiers.

Because he is not a Jinyang noble, Murong Yan's military resume is mostly concentrated in Henan, Shandong and Huainan, and several other Qi generals are also in a similar situation. Another Zhang Baoluo was the assassin of Liangzhou before he set out, guarding Kaifeng, Henan. As Gao Aocao's general, Dongfang Lao has also been guarding Henan for a long time after Gao Aocao's death.

Murong Yan is nearly fifty years old, and he looks haggard and old because of his poor situation in the past few days, but he still looks dignified.

And after seeing Murong Yan, Li Tai couldn't help but think that among the three Xianbei departments in Liaodong, it seems that Murong Yan's appearance is the highest, and the Murong Yan in front of him, as well as Dou Luning in the Western Wei Kingdom, etc., are quite outstanding.

Counting even earlier, Fu Jian and Fu Tianwang have personally certified it, which shows that the appearance of the Murong family is indeed very good. In comparison, the Yuwen family seems to be much worse. As for the descendants of the Duan family, Li Tai did not have much contact, but there was no way to compare.

Different from Li Tai's many associations, Lu Shuhu's purpose of this trip is very clear, after the generals entered the hall to worship, he invited Zhang Baoluo to sit next to his seat, and seriously inquired about the various personnel arrangements when he was guarding Jinzhou.
