Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Although He Ruodun was high-spirited, Li Tai was not in a hurry to order an attack downstream. Instead, he first learned about the latest situation.

At this time, the envoy sent by Wang Lin happened to arrive in Jiangxia. Li Tai personally met him and asked about it. Although it is not a good character to take pleasure in others' misfortune, but after hearing that these guys in Nanliang had fought several times, he couldn't help but sigh. What a sign of subjugation!

Regarding Wang Lin's request to surrender, he has not yet made a decision on how to deal with it, and news is arriving one after another from downstream. He didn't have any objections to Hefei's handling of the matter.

He had anticipated this civil strife in Nanliang and decided from a very early stage not to intervene in depth. There are many chaos and opportunities in the latter three kingdoms, but not every opportunity has to be intervened. For now, he will not focus on the Jiangnan region. And the fate that can really determine the general trend of the world is still in the north!

Under such a premise, all he needs to do is to try to ensure that the impact and negative impact of Nanliang's civil strife on himself is minimized, and then fully absorb the personnel resources released by this order turmoil in Nanliang.

For example, Wang Lin's current surrender can be considered a good thing for Li Tai.

Of course he knew that Wang Lin was a rebellious guy and would never be willing to submit to him and continue to take orders from him, and it was impossible for him to establish any clear superior-subordinate relationship with Wang Lin and allow the desperadoes under his command to corrupt him over the years. Some names of benevolence and righteousness accumulated among Jianghe, Huaihan and Han Dynasties.

What he needs is to give Wang Lin a statement so that Wang Lin can safely fight with Chen Baxian downstream, and don't be afraid that the retreat will be attacked by the Western Wei people.

Although Wang Lin is quite difficult to deal with from a purely military perspective, overall she is much easier to deal with than Chen Baxian.

Li Tai will not put too much energy into Jiangdong in recent years. After all, Guanzhong may usher in new opportunities for power reshuffle at any time, so it is more necessary to have an isolation zone like Wang Lin to separate Chen Baxian's power. Isolate yourself from influence downstream and do not penetrate into the midstream.

When there was no news from Hefei before, Li Tai was still a little unsure about what kind of acceptance he should give Wang Lin.

But when he learned that Li Zhen was on an envoy to Jiankang and wanted the remains of Wang Sengbian and his son back, he made a decision in his heart.

First of all, he would definitely not accept Wang Lin as a subordinate. No matter how useful the manure spoon was, it was not a food container. In this case, a medium is needed to reach a covenant between the two parties and maintain a tacit understanding between them.

The plan proposed by Li Tai was that although Wang Lin and his subordinates would not accept it, he could accept the land donation and carve out Xunyang County in Jiangzhou and place it under the ownership of the Taiwanese government, and then the Taiwanese government would appoint Wang Sengbian. His younger brother Wang Sengmin became the prefect of Xunyang.

Although Wang Sengmin was appointed by the Taiwan government, he still obeyed Wang Lin and stationed in Huancheng. The Taiwan government will provide Wang Lin with a certain amount of funding for food, grass and weapons, all of which will be distributed through Huancheng.

What Wang Lin was worried about was that when he fought Chen Baxian, he might be attacked by the Western Wei Dynasty, but now that Li Tai had taken the retreat directly, he didn't have to worry.

Wang Lin needed food, grass and weapons urgently now. Either he would die trapped in Huancheng without being able to go anywhere, or he would give up the stronghold of Huancheng, arm his men and horses, and open up a larger living space to the east.

When Li Tai's reply was sent back to Yuzhang, Wang Lin was so embarrassed that she slapped the case and roared: "Li Boshan only relied on his family wealth and being respected by the world to become famous. How dare you underestimate me like this! But let me If you are not a soldier, how can Liu Zhongli become famous in Jingxiang?"

In addition, this time, he had already been rejected twice when he asked for surrender. Originally, he had to make up his mind to be a dog for others, which required a lot of mental struggle. After the struggle was over and he made the painful decision, he realized that he couldn't even be a dog!

In contrast to Wang Lin's polite refusal to surrender, Li Tai not only told Wang Sengmin to go to Jiangxia to see him in his letter, but also specifically asked him to bring Yang Kan's son Yang Kun with him, which inevitably made Wang Lin feel ashamed and angry.

Although he felt very unhappy, after seeing the list of the first batch of aid supplies that came with the enclosed letter, he couldn't help but feel excited, and he couldn't bear to reject it flatly. So Wang Lin summoned Wang Sengmin and Yang Kun, severely scolded them, and repeatedly warned them not to forget their roots, and then ordered them to go to Jiangxia.

Li Tai specifically asked Yang Kun to come to Jiangxia by name. In addition to the fact that he was the son of Yang Kan, it was also because Hou Jing died in his hands.

When Yang Kun came to Jiangxia to pay his respects, Li Tai looked at the tall and tall Yang Kun and couldn't help but sigh: "I have been famous for Yang Shangshu for a long time, but I regret that I can't see him. Now that I see Yang Lang's heroic appearance, I can also think about Yang Shangshu. At that time, Shangshu Yang was determined to return to the south. Even though tens of thousands of people could not stop him, his deeds were heroic. However, a man who could rejuvenate a country fell into the hands of a foolish old man. It is no different from a star cast in the dark. A hero's end is like a rotten tree. Qing, isn’t it sad to think about it?”

When Yang Kun heard the King of Taiyuan's comments about his father, he couldn't help but shed tears for a while. He kowtowed and said to him: "The world is in chaos and heroes come out in large numbers, but there are very few people who can guide the heroes like a great king. Although my father was infatuated and made mistakes, he was also lucky. Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, so far there has been no disgrace to one's integrity. The unworthy son once committed himself to a thief in order to survive, and his sinful body and blood stained his family..."

"How can a hundred-foot mansion be destroyed by birds building nests under its eaves? In ancient times, there were many people who endured humiliation and achieved great things. Hou Jing brought trouble to the world, and all the righteous people in the world wanted to kill him. The Yanglang's ability to do this is enough to be remembered in history. Liang It is not the fault of loyal men like you to fail to defend the country. Wang Taiwei is also a pillar of the country who is determined to turn the tide, and he will inevitably be killed."

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Senzhen who was hanging his head and said: "Although the two sides became enemies over the Jiangling incident, I also admire Taiwei Wang for his ability to calm the chaos before and for his loyalty later. Being in an enemy country, one should always smile, but one cannot help but feel sad when one remembers the story. Li Zhen, my subordinate from Taiwan, sent an envoy to Jiankang to bring back the remains of Taiwei Wang and his son. Wang Fanzheng is carrying the coffin to the west. Please bear with me for the time being. Sad, let’s bury Taiwei Wang in Jiangling first, and then think about what to do next.”

"Thank you, thank you so much for your consideration, Your Majesty! My brother was killed by a thief, and my family lost their support. If it hadn't been for Your Majesty's generous help, the family affairs might not have been able to continue..."

After Wang Sengmin heard this, he couldn't help crying. Since his brother was killed, there have been many rebellions in the past. Unexpectedly, it was the person in front of him who was supposed to be the number one enemy who rescued and gathered the scattered members of his family. stand up.

A few days later, Wang Ban and his party arrived in Jiangxia carrying the coffins of his father and brothers. Li Tai also waited at the riverside early in the morning, leading Wang Bao and other members of the former Jiangling court to welcome the arrival and reciting inscriptions as a sacrifice by the riverside.

Putting aside personal emotions, from the perspective of the pros and cons of the regime, Wang Sengbian's death is also a good thing for Li Tai. Not only was he able to receive some personnel resources released by the Nanliang turmoil, but also because such internal fighting increasingly weakened the appeal and unification power of the downstream regime for the entire Nanliang homeland.

In the original history, Southern Chen and Northern Zhou were still fighting back and forth in Yingzhou, and even once threatened the security of the puppet regime of Xiliang. However, according to the current development of the situation, even if everything goes well for Chen Baxian, it will be difficult to extend his influence to the Jianghan area. If Wang Lin had worked harder, it might not even be possible to stabilize the fundamentals of the lower reaches.

Afterwards, Wang Yan and others cried goodbye to Li Tai and escorted Wang Sengbian's coffin to Jiangling for burial. Although Jiangling is not his hometown, Wang Sengbian's half-life achievements began here, and his burial in Jiangling can be regarded as a reincarnation.

After seeing off the group, Li Tai summoned Wu Mingche in Jiangxia City. Because he had some other military affairs to make arrangements, he asked people to lead Wu Mingche to a separate hall to wait.

When Li Tai finished his matter and walked into the other hall, he saw Wu Mingche standing in trance in front of a territory map hanging in the hall. This map was drawn by himself based on his own memory. Although it was not a world map of five continents and four oceans, it also included the most prosperous territory of ancient China, as well as the alien regimes that were rising and growing in the surrounding areas.

"This side is Tuyuhun, and to the south are Tubo, Xiangxiong and other Western Qiang countries. The source of Hehuang is a bitter and cold country. It is difficult to harvest ten stones of grain from an acre of land, so its people are poor and aggressive. . But in recent years, the autumn and winter have become warmer, and Heluo has been warmer than Jiangling in previous years. Therefore, the source of Hehuang is also deeply moist, and there is plenty of food in the year. Soon, the various tribes may be mixed together, and the general trend will rise and strangle me in Longyou. "

Li Tai walked slowly into the room and said to Wu Mingche, who was watching in a daze. After hearing the sound, Wu Mingche hurriedly turned around and bowed, but after hearing Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. This really touched him a bit. Knowledge blind spots.

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that there is more to the world than just the east of the Yangtze River. The world cannot be in chaos for a long time, and the Han family cannot be weak for a long time. To be strong, we need strong men to revive it!"

Li Tai was overjoyed about Wu Mingche's coming, otherwise he would not have been trusted, so he immediately ordered him to be sent to Jiangxia. However, after seeing Wu Mingche, he had a calm expression on his face, and first made a big statement. When he threw it out, he saw Wu Mingche lowering his head and thinking deeply, so he added: "I was discussing with Zhou Hongzheng about the talent flow in Jiangzuo. The Marquis of Zhou mentioned that he had heard of Wu Mingche's name. Now that I have come to invest, I will keep him under my account."

"M-Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingche was still curious about why the King of Taiyuan paid more attention to him. Only then did he understand that it was his teacher Zhou Hongzheng who recommended him.

He didn't know what King Taiyuan's personality was like, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but just this first meeting had already left a very deep impression on him. Although it was said that when Chen Baxian recruited him, they had a pleasant conversation with each other, but looking back now, Wu Mingche had to sigh that the King of Taiyuan was worthy of the talents of the Northern Kingdom, and his style and magnanimity were much better than that of Chen Baxian.

Li Tai knew that PUA needed to be developed step by step, so he did not pay too much attention after calling Wu Mingche into his account, and planned to find opportunities to continue to strengthen ideological education in the future.

He originally planned to stay in Jiangxia for a while, but two things happened in succession that forced him to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. First, his family sent a message that his father Li Xiao was critically ill, and second, the Taiwan government reported that the Chinese and foreign government troops gathered and rushed to Tongguan under the personal leadership of Otsuka Zai Yu Wentai.
