Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

There were hundreds of light cavalry when they came, but when they returned they were a mighty army. This was not the first time.

Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This place in northern Shaanxi was really his blessed land. Every time he came here, he gained a lot.

Under the harmonious witness of Shuo Hui and Yu Wengui, Li Tai shook hands with Chang Shan and made peace with each other, smiling away their grudges.

Daxingtai previously issued an order to allocate a thousand war horses to the Dushui Administrative Office. Chang Shan needs to pay them one after another before the year. Part of the loot captured by Bai Yushan was distributed to Xi'an Prefecture to compensate for the supply impact brought to Xi'an Prefecture by Li Tai's previous attack on Xiang Haolei's family.

As for the men and horses that Li Tai had previously stored in Guide City, he naturally wanted to return them to Zhao intact without any trouble.

With this solution, it seems that Li Tai did not gain any advantage, but this was not the case. The key still lies in the one thousand war horses, which were originally prepared by the Dushui Administrative Office for use as a parade, but due to some reasons, they could not be paid in time.

Although Li Tai captured more than a thousand horses from the Jihu tribe in Dongxia Prefecture, a considerable number of them could not be used as war horses. If he can lure these horses back to pay, at least this responsibility of the Dushui Administration Department will be wiped out from the accounts.

In other words, Li Tai has complete independent disposal rights for the thousand war horses that Xi'an Prefecture will subsequently pay. He can use them as official horses or leave them to his own tribe. That's a thousand well-tamed war horses that can be put into battle!

Li Tai couldn't help but sigh, these Fang Town military leaders still knew how to play and dared to play. He felt very excited by occupying some land and lining his own pockets, as if he had taken advantage of it, but these military leaders were so unscrupulous that they directly gave and received thousands of war horses privately!

Of course, whether he can afford it depends on whether he has enough face in front of Daxing. Moreover, after agreeing to this reconciliation condition, at least in Bai Yushan's battle, Chang Shan's shortcomings cannot be openly exposed, and Chang Shan will be delayed. His participation in the battle has not been made public for a long time.

Li Tai didn't care about this. If he couldn't kill the other party, he actually didn't want to make grudges everywhere. From the bottom of his heart, he still wished you well, me well and everyone well.

If he offended Zhao Gui before, there was really no way or choice. If Zhao Gui was willing to kowtow to him and admit his mistake, he would also forgive him.

Although Chang Shan's previous actions made him quite angry, they did not cause any substantial harm, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was quite sincere.

There is no deep friendship between him and the Beizhen military leaders, and their background is relatively simple. If they can find common interests and appeals, some cooperation can actually be carried out. And a plan that Li Tai had previously brewed in his mind also needed Xi'an Prefecture's salt industry as a hub.

Dignity always needs to be endorsed by strength. If a person is truly strong, he does not need to flaunt himself with angry eyes all the time.

Li Tai is not that strong now, but he has proved with practical actions that he is not easy to mess with. This time, it is Ji Hu who leads him. Who the hell dares to mess with me again? Do you believe that I will lead the Eastern Wei army here?

As a victorious army, there must always be a certain sense of victorious return.

So when he arrived at Shicheng County at the corner of Luoshui River, Li Tai asked the messenger Lu Bu to go ahead and spread the news of the great victory along the way. He also informed Yu Wentai, who had already arrived in Baishui for the grand parade, that you should clean up the place and move aside, otherwise I will I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of them and I will bring back these captives.

The victory messengers were dispatched three times a day, and the commotion they created was indeed considerable. Those who didn't know might have thought that Li Tai was not attacking Jihu in northern Shaanxi this time, but was instead attacking Jinyang City to capture He Liuhun alive.

But Li Tai doesn't think it's a fuss, he is such a person with low taste. That is to say, Hui Hui and Yu Wengui were busy with their own affairs, so the envoys never sent many guards, and his own troops were too few, otherwise a long snake array would beat the gongs and drums to send Baishui away.

Daxingtai said that if you lose Mangshan, you will gain this Boshan. He has to prove that Daxingtai's vision is right: since I, Li Boshan, have entered the pass, the good days of you Kansai people are coming! From now on, there will be no more big defeats like the Battle of Mangshan. Every day is good news!

He was heading south contentedly, and there was good news waiting for him halfway.

"It's really gratifying to return home after a great victory! I heard the good news and rushed to welcome him. Fortunately, I didn't miss it!"

When they arrived at the northern border of Luochuan, Mao Shijian led dozens of followers to greet him in a hurry. However, they did not catch up from the south bank of Luoshui River, but chased him diagonally from behind. When he saw Li Tai dismounting from his horse, he bowed his head and bowed.

Li Tai raised his hand to signal the boy to excuse himself, then said with a smile: "The parade is about to begin and everything is busy. You can just wait and help at the office, why bother running around to greet us."

If you want to welcome him, you have to send someone from Daxingtai to help you. If your subordinates are so happy and forgetful, it seems that their subordinates have never seen the world.

After hearing this, Mao Shijian hesitated a little, and after a while he said with some embarrassment: "Ji Zhi did not come from Baishui. When I left the office to go north, I was afraid that the trip would be dangerous, so I took leave to return home and recruited local volunteers to go north. I wanted to work with the guards, but there was a schedule delay and I couldn't catch up. When Lu Shenjun was returning the message, we met on the road and found out that we were going east..."

At this point, Mao Shijian became excited again: "Although the low-level fellow countrymen did not catch up with me, I heard many powerful stories about me leading the crowd to kill Hu Hu along the way. I thought that I could not see my cowardly and ambitious colleagues. , so all the township parties pursued and frightened them, and they were effective in breaking down thieves' nests and confiscating a lot of thieves! "

When Li Tai heard this, he was suddenly surprised. Before he could ask carefully, Mao Shijian had already handed over a accounting book, which recorded in detail the income collected from his attacks on the thieves during this period.

"Okay, very good! Shi Jian, you are worthy of being a descendant of a famous family. You are brave enough to deal with situations and are quick at fighting opportunities!"

Li Tai took the account book and flipped through it briefly. He was smiling widely and at the same time, he was quite amused. Why did he feel like he was an old man who helped the protagonist grow up?

He worked hard here and lured away all the strong soldiers in the area, while Mao Shijian and the others were happily picking up bargains in the back roads. They confiscated tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and other personnel and supplies were also considerable.

"There were more than 700 humble countrymen. After learning the traces of the thieves from the Army Staff Office, they chased them all the way. On the way, they met the countrymen from other places who had been rescued by the army in Woxiong Ridge. Because the thieves were so powerful, they did not dare to pursue them in a hurry. To be known, he was engaged in attacking the castle of King Hao Ren.

When the Qunhu troops marched north, they entered and occupied the fort, raided the surrounding area, and rescued the fallen villagers. Today, there are still nearly 2,000 soldiers defending the castle there. When he was able to defend himself, he led his disciples to Fushi City, only to find out that they were going westward. They replaced their weapons and staffs in that city. They were waiting to go west to Bai Yushan to meet them, but they were surprised to hear that they had defeated the giant thief! "

When Mao Shijian talked about this, his admiration was beyond words, and he knelt down and said: "Being kind and righteous in treating people and killing thieves bravely is not only a humble job, but fellow countrymen all admire this talent and hope to join the army, but they are afraid that the country people are despicable, so they work together I’ve come to you for a humble job, please take it in!”

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this. He bent down and pulled Mao Shijian up, patted his shoulder and laughed and said: "Although the world is difficult and troubled, there is nothing to be afraid of when comrades gather together! I accept these heroes of rural righteousness! I am afraid of the power." If you don't achieve it, you can help people in times of trouble. Now you can only boast of me, but I hate the fact that there are virtuous people in my hometown. There is no greater justice in the world than the relationship between honor and disgrace. Since I can speak out in the world, I will not allow my close followers to work in vain!"

Most of Mao Shijian and his team's results are currently concentrated in the King Hao Ren fortress in the north of Kuli River. This is the area where several Hui troops were cleared in the previous distribution plan.

This kind of thing is not about first come, first served. If the Bafu does not come forward to coordinate the distribution, whoever is more powerful will get more. Mao Shijian and his fellow villagers got a big advantage, but if there were no powerful people to provide protection, they could be wiped out by Hui Yu party who regarded them as thieves in a matter of minutes.

This is the rule of survival in troubled times. If you want to reason with others, you must first consider whether you are qualified. Li Tai has encountered many personnel difficulties before. Is he really a bad guy that everyone hates? In the final analysis, there is no qualification for equal dialogue.

Li Tai had to take care of this matter due to circumstances, but fortunately it was some benefit and they discussed it with each other. If it had been anyone else, this tricky situation would still be a stretch.

Because he had to go south to report his victory, Li Tai first arranged for Zhu Meng and Mao Shijian to return to visit Shuo Hui to explain the matter, and wait until he returned to find time to discuss a mutually acceptable plan.

After arranging this matter, Li Tai led his troops to continue southbound. After passing the Shibao River, a tributary on the east bank of Luoshui River, they entered Baishui County. The personnel arranged by the Taiwan government to welcome the victorious captive army had been waiting outside the county for a long time.

"Li is so virtuous and capable that he dares to trouble Duke Fan Yang to come and greet him!"

When the visitor told him that it was Douluning who came to greet him, Li Tai felt a little flattered and did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly rode forward to meet him.

What he said about coming to Kaifu and being greeted by Yi Tong was just a wild idea in his mind, but he didn't expect that a Kaifu actually came, and it was Douluning who ranked among the top in Kaifu.

"Gao Pingnan has worked hard during this trip and has made great achievements. I am deeply honored to be able to welcome such meritorious servicemen."

Douluning is tall, not inferior to Shuo Hui, and much more handsome than Shuo Hui. He fits the profile of the Murong family's handsome dog, and he treats Li Tai politely.

After hearing this, Li Tai quickly said: "Fan Yanggong has been famous for a long time, and he is the real meritorious man of the country. The successors of Boshan are lucky to succeed, and they deeply admire the achievements of their predecessors, so they really dare not show off or boast."

He also suddenly realized that Douluning was one of the generals who encircled and suppressed Liu Pingfu in the seventh year of Datong. Is it a bit of a slap in the face for him to boast about his achievements in capturing Liu Pingfu's son? Although I have shown off all the way, I still have to remain humble in person.

Probably because of Li Tai's courteous and courteous attitude, Doulu Ning showed a smile on his face and said: "Gao Pingnan is too humble. He is cunning and cunning, and it is extremely difficult for him to do his best. In those days, there was a big war, but there were still lingering disasters. Fortunately, Gao Pingnan, you noticed the improvement.

When the good news came in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Daxingtai were both happy, and I am here to welcome you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has even ordered the parade to be postponed, so that only one day of parade will be held for prisoners to be presented! "
