Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 741: Selling gold and scraps of jade

After a family banquet, everyone left, but Yu Wenhu lingered at the end.

Yu Wentai looked at his expression and guessed that he had something to say, so he served some drinks and looked at Yu Wenhu curiously.

"Uncle, I must keep an eye on Li Boshan's affairs!"

After Yu Wenhu hesitated for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I know that if you say this, uncle may think that I am jealous and intolerant. It is true that I am not big-hearted, but Li Boshan must not indulge anymore." No idea! Although my uncle used his humerus for him, he was not an eagle dog that could be kept indoors, especially in recent years when he came to Kansai and socialized with famous people from Kanto, such as Cui Xuanyou. He has both, but he still listens to his instructions..."

While Yu Wenhu was talking, he secretly observed his uncle's expression. In previous years, when he talked about this topic, Yuwentai would either interrupt impatiently, or confidently express that he could control Li Boshan. But when he brought up this topic again, Yuwentai was not eager to speak out, but frowned. The eyebrows are raised as if listening.

Yuwenhu naturally noticed this change in attitude, and it was obvious that his uncle had heard it in his heart, which also gave him great encouragement, so he quickly continued: "Bo Juluo was worried that Li Boshan was planning to conquer Shu. I don’t think this is a bad thing. Li Boshan has outstanding achievements and is good at conquest. If he can conquer Shu, he will undoubtedly increase his chances of victory."

"Oh? So you agree with Li Boshan's army to conquer Shu? Aren't you worried that he will be too powerful to control?"

After Yuwentai heard this, a strange look flashed on his face, and he immediately looked at Yuwenhu and said: "But Bojuluo is also very eager to conquer Shu. He has been preparing for a long time in terms of personnel. If he cannot make the trip, he will definitely will be greatly disappointed.”

"In this world, there is only great power that is difficult to control. How can there be any great power that is difficult to control? If there is a circle and a square, each can be used for its own purpose. If they are not consistent, even if they are made of gold and jade, they can only be sold as gold and broken jade. It is a pity!"

A few years after Yuwenhu's accident in Hedong, he became more mature. This does not mean that he has different views on people and things than in the past, but he summarized the past views into a more solid theory and went straight to the essence of things: "Bo It is indeed commendable that Julo is eager to make great achievements, but the world is uncertain now, and there are more than one place where he can make achievements, but if he wants to stop Li Boshan's momentum, there are not many good opportunities. "

Seeing that Yu Wentai was still listening, he continued: "Li Boshan's family is a remnant of Heyin. He has been taught by his father and brother since he was a child and has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He is very good at martial arts. He also has talents and talents that are superior to ordinary people. It can be said that he is an unusual and enviable person. Everything he has done since entering the Pass has been clearly verified. He is fond of fighting and fighting, and he is particularly fond of suppressing people. If he is allowed to conquer Shu, he will definitely be happy to do so.

In this way, he can be transferred away from Jing Town. Although the terrain of Bashu is majestic, transportation is difficult and it is difficult to attack. There will inevitably be twists and turns. Even famous generals who have won every battle may not dare to say that they will attack it. When Li Boshan's troops are stranded on the Shu road, Ningdu Gong can be sent out to control Jingzhou, and Anlu Gong Yang Zhong can be sent to control the eastern part of Han Dynasty. Then all the civil and military disciples can be separated to guard each border. It will be difficult for Li Boshan to return, and Jingzhou will be lost for a long time. The general manager's office naturally collapsed.

King Wuling of the Southern Liang Dynasty had been in Bashu for a long time. Now that he is fighting against others, he also needs to plan to move eastward. Li Boshan has newly determined his territory. Even if he has stayed in the town for ten years, it will be difficult for the Shu people to agree with him. Bashu is blocked from all directions and is not the home of a hegemon. Jingzhou is back to me. I can attack and defend at my will without any hindrance. However, I have the eldest son to control it, and there is no need to entrust the ministers with it. "

He has been thinking about this matter for a long time. If at the beginning he was jealous of Li Tai and emotionally dissatisfied because of the gap in their achievements, then in recent years, as the gap between their reputations has become larger and larger, Yu Wenhu More and more, he felt the need to impose sanctions on Li Tai.

Not to mention the Guandong aristocratic families who were already closely related to him, even many people from Hedong highly praised Li Boshan, and Yu Wenhu increasingly realized that Li Tai's reputation among the younger generation in the country was already unique. The existence of stalls has reached a point where the situation is too great to be tolerated.

When he heard Yu Wenhu talking about this issue, Yu Wentai's brows had been frowning. But when he heard that Yu Wenhu proposed that his eldest son Yu Wenyu should replace Li Tai to guard Jingzhou, Yu Wentai's brows relaxed slightly. .

Similar topics have been discussed many times. Yu Wentai also knew that his nephew would be somewhat unbalanced when talking about Li Tai and could not maintain a rational attitude. Sometimes, in order to prove himself, his own shortcomings were exposed.

But what Yu Wenhu said today really gave him a big surprise, because these words not only criticized Li Tai, but also put forward a practical personnel plan, and this plan was also somewhat different from what he thought. Conspiring together.

Until now, Yuwentai still regards Li Tai as his direct confidant. Although his identity and background are relatively complicated, his growth has been under Yuwentai's attention and cultivation, and he has also grown up in the current Fubing system. The most outstanding representative. It can be said that without Yu Wentai's appreciation and cultivation, there would be no General Li today.

But even if he is a close confidant, it does not mean that everything must be entrusted to him. Especially when it comes to appointments of military and political power in Fang Town, blood relationships are indeed more reliable.

Yu Wentai indeed has plans to appoint his son to replace Li Tai in the southeast of the town when conditions are ripe in the future.

As for Li Tai, a confidant general who was good at conquering and fighting, Yu Wentai's plan was to summon him into the court in the next few years, contact the Kanto clans to complete the long-prepared system reform, and assist him in completing the Wei Dynasty.

If Li Tai still wants to conquer all directions, he can arrange for him to conquer Monan in Shuobei. While conquering the border troubles, he can also train his troops to prepare for the attack on Taiyuan.

The two nephews were stationed in Longyou and Hedong, while the son guarded the southeast and prepared to attack and destroy the Southern Dynasties. This was a relatively satisfactory military and political structure in the future envisioned by Yu Wentai. There may be some changes in the details according to the actual situation, but the actual pattern does not need to change too much.

Just looking at Yuwenhu's expectant eyes, Yuwentai couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and said with regret: "The reason why Bo Juluo attacked Shu was not only because he was eager for success, but also because he had other considerations. Now everyone Although the sergeants of the government have been organized, the imperial guards in Beijing have not changed much. The deployment of envoys to attack Shu also has the effect of training troops. Now that Shu is empty, and its generals guarding the sword pavilion have also been sent to join, the army cannot attack. It’s difficult. Even if Bo Shan leads the army, it will be difficult for him to hold Shu for a long time..."

This military operation to conquer Shu has been brewing for a long time. Yuwentai has also weighed a lot about who should be sent there. The reason why Yuchi Jiong was selected was not only his personal enthusiasm and ability, but also other considerations.

What is certain now is that the army in central Sichuan was led by Wuling King Xiao Ji to the gorge entrance, and the troops left behind in central Sichuan were relatively weak. Moreover, Di chieftain Yang Qianyun, who was guarding the northern part of Bashu and Jiange Xiongguan, had also surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yuwen Taidu had already joined the hussar to open the mansion. It can be said that the biggest obstacles to entering Shu have been solved, and the army can march straight into Chengdu. The overall military difficulty of the city is not high.

Yuchi Jiong was the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and because of this status, he served as a general of the Forbidden Army for a long time, so he was also quite prestigious among the Liufang Forbidden Army. The Liufang troops stationed in Chang'an were not included in the systematic reorganization of the government troops, and still maintained a relatively independent military structure. A relatively rough military status review was only conducted when Li Hu was in charge of the Zhu Kingdom.

Although Shuzhong is closed but rich, and the difficulty of this battle is not high, so taking this opportunity to draw some of the Forbidden Army soldiers out to weaken the defense force in Beijing is also one of the purposes of this battle.

The emperor's attitude is now aggressive. Compared with weakening the power of the capital, transferring Li Tai from his hometown and slightly restricting his power will naturally be ranked lower. After all, the former is the fundamental issue.

Otherwise, even if Yuwentai appoints his sons-in-law as generals of the Forbidden Army, these boys are relatively young and have little qualifications. I am afraid they will not be able to regain the veterans of Sixth Square. Instead, they may be deliberately deceived and misled.

It would be great if Li Boshan could be his son-in-law. With his famous reputation and background, if he could serve as the leading general, Yu Wentai believed that he would be able to regain all the people in the six squares in the capital in a short time. The role played may be greater than that of the current several sons-in-law combined!

After this thought flashed through his mind, Yu Wentai couldn't help but have a wry smile. He then looked at Yu Wenhu and said with a pleased expression: "Sa Bao's discussion today has shown that the rules of the city are no longer as conceited and willful as in previous years." , family affairs and state affairs can all be discussed. Although the plan cannot be adopted now, after the material resources are collected from Shuzhong, we will be more confident in dispatching the border towns. "

A big reason why he doesn't interfere much in Jingzhou's military and political affairs today is because he is poor. If nothing else, even if he wants to control Jingzhou's military and recruit Jingzhou troops to enter the customs, he doesn't have much food and grass supplies to supply him for a long time. stationed.

When Yu Wenhu heard his uncle's praise again, he was very excited. Although he felt a little regretful that his suggestion was not adopted, he knew that his uncle also had difficulties, so he said no more.

On this day, when Yu Wentai convened a group of officials in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office to discuss the matter of conquering Shu, the group of officials were hesitant and not even as sure as last year. Yuwentai knew that this was because the emperor's sudden move against him made his family members worried about the changes in the situation in the country, but he could not say more about it.

Because there had been a plan before, the decision to send troops to Shu was passed under Yuchi's policy of overcoming all objections. Although Yu Wentai was deprived of the positions of Prime Minister and Daxingtai, he was still in charge of the Chinese and foreign military affairs. The Chinese and Foreign Governments naturally had the power to arrange conquests, and they quickly discussed and drafted a list of personnel to conquer Shu.
