Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

When the Northern Inspection Team entered Suizhou, Cui Qian, the governor of Suizhou, Yang Fu, the chief governor of Suizhou, Li Yantou, the governor of Fangcheng, and Liu Pingping, the prefect of Diaoyin, were already waiting in the state for a long time.

Suizhou was not established for too long, and its personnel were simpler than those in important towns like Xiazhou. They were basically Li Taijiu's subordinates when he was in northern Shaanxi. The military strength within the territory is not as strong as that of Xiazhou, with only less than 3,000 elite cavalry and thousands of powerful chieftains.

Although this is also a considerable military force, it is still not enough for everyone who has just left Tongwan City.

However, Suizhou is not without other things that attract people's attention. For example, Li Tai led his troops to cross the river eastward and conquered the heart of Jinyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The people in the middle school still remember this incident, and naturally they want to see the place where the people and horses crossed the river. Some people even suggested that it be possible to arrange for them to cross the river and enjoy the scenery?

Cui Tan and others shook their heads after hearing this request. This was not something to be joked about. The national power of the two Wei Dynasties will not be fundamentally changed because of Li Tai's previous attack, and the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty on the other side of the river will never become a paradise for the people of the Western Wei Dynasty.

At present, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is still affected by Hou Jing's rebellion and is focused on solving the chaos in Henan, but it has not completely ignored the dangers exposed by the previous stolen homes. It rebuilt the Wutu City that was previously destroyed by Li Tai and strengthened the garrison, and It is still compressing Li Shihu's living space.

Naturally, Yuwentai would not engage in such boring things that had no practical significance except provocation and convenience. He carefully inspected the river defense along the bank of the river and inquired about the personnel flow between the two Wei Dynasties.

After the Liangzhou rebellion was put down and Guazhou regained effective control, the Hexi Corridor was opened up again, allowing the Western Wei Dynasty to regain its geographical advantage in conducting trade with the Western Regions.

Merchants were also extremely sensitive to changes in the situation. However, because the two Wei Dynasties were still in a state of hostility, and the Western Wei Dynasty did not systematically strengthen the management of commercial and trade matters, there was still no obvious change in the personnel flow among the people.

Li Tai was one of the first to notice and be able to take advantage of this change. When Yu Wentai asked about these situations, he naturally explained his arrangement of sending Li Yunxin and other subordinates to Jinyang to infiltrate in disguised merchants.

When he came to Suizhou this time, Li Tai was also curious about how the infiltration plan of Li Yunxin and others was going. After all, they went to Jinyang this time not only to sell goods for profit and to gather information, but also to get his family out of Jinyang.

Li Yantou was based in Suizhou, providing various personnel assistance to Li Yunxin and others, and he had the clearest understanding of the implementation of their plans.

The previous invasion of Jinyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty led to an overall improvement in the defense capabilities around Jinyang, which of course brought great difficulties to Li Yunxin and his party's sneaking in. They once lingered outside the Beishan Great Wall for several months, unable to advance, but finally opened the door of the Eastern Wei Dynasty due to the huge demand for luxury goods from Jinyang nobles.

Although they had the same origin, the differences in the areas they occupied resulted in huge disparities in national power, which allowed the nobles of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to live a life of wealth and freedom earlier than the poor people of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Of course, when you have money, you have to enjoy it, so the world in Jinyang is becoming increasingly extravagant. Especially with the death of King Gao, on the one hand, the supervision imposed on them has been reduced, and on the other hand, they have been deeply aware of the impermanence of life and death and should enjoy themselves in time. Therefore, the demand for luxury goods in Jinyang has surged.

Li Yunxin and the others controlled a stable and high-quality supply of goods, and naturally they quickly gained the favor of Jinyang nobles.

Naturally, these spies would not directly meet and trade with the dignitaries of the Eastern Wei Dynasty openly. Instead, they would hide themselves through various relationships with merchants and merchants. They had formed a relatively stable channel network in Jinyang, although it would not be a threat to the powerful people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Everything is well understood, but any important things that happen in Jinyang can basically be learned quickly and passed back.

As for the family issue that Li Tai is most concerned about, Li Yunxin and the others also made a breakthrough a few months ago and made direct contact with the Li clan in Longxi, and both parties are actively communicating.

Li Tai was overjoyed when he learned about this. As his power in the Western Wei Dynasty became more and more important, his family members who stayed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty became more and more a worry and weakness for him.

Although there are many people from the Western Wei Dynasty whose family members are stranded in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and even Yuwen's family members in the Eastern Wei Dynasty have not yet died out, Li Tai's family is still different from these relatives of the soldiers.

The conflict between the Eastern Wei clan and the nobles has always existed, and Li Tai directly brought misfortune to the family members of the nobles in Jinyang. The reason why the family can be temporarily safe now is that Gao Cheng is relatively friendly and dependent on the Guandong clan. Without direct In the face of conflicts and interests, he would not commit a massacre of his tribesmen just to vent his anger.

So for Li Tai, the sooner he can bring his family to Kansai, the better. While resolving a heartache, it also allowed him to no longer be restrained when facing the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, when discussing the matter with Li Yantou in private, Li Tai made it clear that Li Yunxin and the others, who were lurking in Jinyang, should pay attention to the personnel changes in Yecheng in the next few months, hoping to take advantage of Gao Cheng. Extreme joy brought sorrow, and when the supreme power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was transferred again, the family was brought back from Jinyang in one fell swoop.

Naturally, family arrangements do not need to be explained carefully to Daxingtai. After Yu Wentai only heard about Li Tai's personnel intelligence structure in Jinyang, he couldn't help but smile and said with a sigh: "There are many people in the world who have good vision but low power. They only think that it is just a fluke that others have achieved success. But he has no idea that other people have prepared for the rainy day and have worked hard in the past to set the stage for success! Every time Boshan has amazing plans and achievements, they are mostly due to the personnel he has accumulated in his daily life!"

"I really work hard and don't dare to slack off. Whenever I have an idea, I try my best to do it well. But whether the thing can be successful in the end does not depend on whether I work hard alone, but also depends on the cooperation of various personnel, especially the Lord. His trust and appointment are the greatest basis for my success! If it weren’t for the Lord’s favor and promotion, who in the world would know who Li Boshan is?”

After Li Tai heard what Da Xingtai said, he quickly bowed his head and said respectfully.

Although they often had complimentary conversations with each other, Yu Wentai heard that Li Tai's tone was obviously serious and even heavy this time, and he felt something in his heart, so he looked at Li Tai and said, "Does Boshan still have some thoughts in his heart?" Have you heard anything yet? Do you still have any comments about the recent personnel arrangements?”

Obviously, although Yu Wentai has arranged for Li Mu to come to relieve Li Tai, he is also ready to find an opportunity to talk again to eliminate the grudge in Li Tai's heart.

After hearing this, Li Tai quickly shook his head and said: "The Lord's plans are grand and well-thought-out. I dare to question it. But after hearing about the recent changes in the Liang Kingdom, I felt regretful that the Lord's plan was still short-sighted. In fact, It is possible to plan for a longer term! Although Hou Jing is fortunate to hold the power of the Liang Kingdom, his false destiny will never be able to unblock all parties. On the contrary, because his king lost his identity, the strong and brave people in his territory competed with each other..."

When Yu Wentai heard that what Li Tai said was not that he sent Zhao Gui as an envoy, he felt relieved at first. Then he heard that he mentioned the old story again and said that it did not include the land of Handong, and even Hanzhong was included. Time naturally made him feel passionate and excited: "If everything goes as Boshan said, then there is indeed great hope for the Han River!"

As the leader of a hegemonic power, nothing excites Yuwentai more than the grand plan of expanding his territory. In particular, the loss of Hanzhong back then was also a worry for Yu Wentai. If it could be recovered again, everyone would be happy!

Li Tai first put forward an outline of the plan, and seeing that Yu Wentai was really interested in it, he then took advantage of the situation and talked about a more specific plan, including splitting into two groups with Yang Zhongbing, one to attack Hanzhong and the other to attack Handong.

"Yang Qianyu also had to plan this in advance?"

When Yuwentai heard this, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he said calmly.

Li Tai nodded after hearing this, and then continued: "Yang Kaifu used to take the garrison from Gongjin in Hanoi and look to the east of Hanoi. If the thieves from the east had not come south to cause trouble, they might have been able to take over two or three of the land back then. . Now that I am retracing my previous plans, the Lord of Hei is far away from Heyang on the Longbian border, and communication is not smooth, so I send a letter to visit Yang Kai's Mansion. Yang Kai's Mansion is also happy to see the message, and tells me that if he can indeed get the order from his master to go on an expedition, he will definitely do so. We also wear armor and follow each other to achieve this goal together!”

"This plan is very big and far-reaching, so I don't dare to make a rash decision at the moment. Boshan, can you write down today's discussion and let the people in Taiwan government discuss it?"

After Yuwentai thought for a while, he spoke again.

Li Tai nodded after hearing this. He did not expect to be able to persuade Yu Wentai to support this plan with just a few words. What he wanted was to let important people in the current situation in Kansai know and discuss the decision, not In the small circle, it was directly rejected. Yu Wentai said that he wanted the masses to discuss it, and he had already made a concession.

The discussion on this matter came to an end for the time being. Yu Wentai looked at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Young hero, you are indeed enviable! Boshan, your talent and intelligence are not only far superior to those of your age, but even your predecessors are inferior." . In the past years, when I was your age, I would not have dared to imagine such a huge strategy, but you were able to carry out complex tasks with ease and take the changes in the general trend of the world into consideration!"

These words sounded like a simple sentiment that young people are formidable and their youth is better than their predecessors, but Li Tai couldn't help but a thin layer of sweat formed on his back. Yes, people are different. You were not as good as me when you were young, but now you have become the head of a tyrant. It is really worth thinking about what I will be like when I reach your age...

"I have a weak talent and can be easily irritable, but I am also tolerated and encouraged by my master, so I am eager to express myself, and fortunately I am not offended. The Lord's former entrustment to the Thor Zhu family is not a tolerant master, and his hall is not a place where heroic ambitions can be expressed!" "

After Yuwentai heard this answer, he just smiled and said nothing about it.
