While dealing with these internal and external military and political matters, Li Tai would also take some time to deal with personal matters, such as meeting relatives and friends who came from the Hebei area.
After the previous two transfers, most of the close relatives and friends of the Longxi Li family in Guandong have also come over. However, in the previous negotiations, the Northern Qi Dynasty still sent hundreds of men and women in packages, probably all of them. All those suspected of defecting to the enemy were sent over.
The Guanzhong area has been inhabited by Han and Rong people for hundreds of years and is not famous for its characters. Even during the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a Hongnong Yang family, but they were successively massacred. Later, Emperor Xiaowu and Gao Huan broke up and moved westward, but Emperor Xiaowu The spirited young man was not a good emperor who could unite the masses, so most of Luo Xia Shiliu did not follow him and stayed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
The members of the Kanto family here in Kansai have always been in a relatively weak state in terms of number and position. However, with the rapid rise of Li Tai, this situation has also been reversed, especially during the several Kanto events. The migration of the people has enriched the talents of the Guandong families in Guanzhong.
Although this group of people who arrived are generally not as close as those who came before, there are also special circumstances, such as the family of Lu Shuhu, Li Tai's uncle.
When Li Licheng ventured to Yecheng, Hebei before, Lu Shuhu and his family were unable to leave Hebei because they lived in his Fanyang Township. This time, he was not pulled away. When Li Qianzhi negotiated with Beiqi on behalf of Li Tai, he proposed this condition. , Lu Shuhu’s family was immediately targeted by Yang Min, who was in charge of Yedu.
Around the year before and after, Li Tai was really too busy and had no time to entertain Lu Shuhu and his family. He waited until one day when the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion were finished and it was not past noon, then he hurriedly prepared some gifts and asked his family about Lu Shuhu and his family. He stayed at his residence in Beijing, and then visited him in person.
After Lu Shuhu's family came to Beijing, Lu Rou was responsible for the reception and settlement, so they settled near Lu Rou's house. When Li Tai and his entourage arrived at the door, the family hurried out to greet them after hearing the news, and exchanged greetings with each other in front of the door. , and then went to the hall together.
After Li Tai came to the hall, he did not sit down directly. Instead, he first raised his hands and sent Lu Shuhu to sit down at the host's table. Then he took two steps back, bowed in courtesy and said, "Uncle, I led my family and took the trouble to come here." We are very close to each other, but my nephew has been trapped by worldly affairs for a long time. He has only come to visit me now, which is particularly disrespectful. I beg my uncle to forgive me!"
Many of his uncles were killed in the Heyin Incident, so among all relatives, apart from his parents, his uncle Lu Shuhu was the most affectionate, so he quickly apologized and asked for forgiveness after he came to the court.
Lu Shuhu was already in his fifties, with a medium build, a slim face, and a slightly thin body. When he saw Li Tai saluting him respectfully, he stood up from the table and pulled him up. After looking him up and down, he said: "Old year Your father and son were lost in the tiger prison, and I am afraid that your mother will not be able to cope with the grief. When I visited Qinghe, I once said that your father is blessed with great blessings and will not be harmed by disasters. The child is even more precious in bones. This loss may be because our family is ordinary and cannot tolerate it. Great things grow, but as long as they don't die prematurely, they can definitely do amazing things!"
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. It sounded like just auspicious words, but it really confirmed the fate of his father and son. In fact, his father, Li Xiao, still managed to escape south after the Battle of Mangshan.
It's interesting, but his predecessor died on the battlefield. Could it be that the achievements he has achieved now are really due to the help and blessing brought by the numerology bone in addition to his own efforts?
Putting aside these gossips, Li Tai met these cousins one by one under the introduction of Lu Shuhu. When he saw the eldest cousin, he couldn't help but take a second look.
In terms of his voice, manners and demeanor, the others are indeed inferior to those of a beast.
Lu Rou is now an old man who has lived in Gyeonggi for a long time, and is no longer the down-and-out person she was when Li Tai first came to visit her. Therefore, even though Li Tai neglected her before, Lu Rou also arranged the daily life of her cousin's family well.
Although they are close relatives, they don't get along with each other on a daily basis, so naturally they can only talk about people and things they are familiar with, so naturally they can't help but talk about He Basheng.
Although Li Tai had only met this uncle for the first time now, he had to admit that he had benefited from him since he first came to Kansai. If it hadn't been for Lu Shuhu, He Basheng would not have been to him back then.
I, a young man from aristocratic family who has just entered Guanzhong, treat him differently.
And if it weren't for He Basheng who gave him precious support when he came to this world at the most difficult time, he wouldn't have developed so smoothly all the way. Probably the same as Li Licheng, although he has a distinguished family background because of his noble family background.
Although it is famous, it may not be able to touch the real military and political power of the Western Wei regime.
Whether it is now or in future generations, one thing that must be acknowledged is that the height a person can reach is closely related to his talent, but in many cases, just an entry-level qualification has blocked out some people with outstanding abilities.
The Western Wei regime during the Datong period was the stage for the soldiers. If Li Tai had not been accepted and recognized step by step, many subsequent things would not have happened at all.
Speaking of He Basheng's past, Lu Shuhu, He Basheng's former relative, was also quite sad and couldn't calm down. After a few glasses of wine, he couldn't help but look at Li Tai and said: "We are born in troubled times, although heroes do not emerge.
, but whether it can succeed or not depends on luck after all. The old He Bagong also once occupied Jingxiang, but he hesitated and accomplished nothing. He didn't expect that the great achievements that were not created back then would be created by the younger generations who took care of them later. Isn't it right?
Life?"
Regardless of their kinship, Li Tai's deepest memory of Lu Shuhu is the "Pingxi Ce" he once presented to Qi Zhu Gaoyan. There are many history buffs in later generations who have discussed this and have some brilliant suggestions.
Those who have something to say and talk on paper.
However, whether a strategy is smart or not, and how much room it can be implemented, must ultimately be evaluated based on the actual historical background. Only talk on paper can be achieved without the background.
First of all, the basic background is that the national power of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time was indeed stronger than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, in the end, when the Qi Dynasty ruled Gao Yang, the strong national power did not allow the Northern Qi Dynasty to overwhelm the Northern Qi Dynasty in the confrontation with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was not even able to effectively restrict it.
In the early stage, Gao Yang fought in all directions, but in the later stage, he failed and hung up.
On the other hand, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was singing triumphant songs. It made breakthrough progress in different directions and regions. From the beginning, it grew from a corner of Kansai into a powerful regime with a vast territory. The Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to blockade and suppress the Northern Zhou Dynasty again, but it could not
When it comes to national strength, it cannot be achieved based on geography alone.
Therefore, if the Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to cause a huge shock and effective restriction to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it must concentrate its superior forces to threaten the core area of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and limit its ability to develop in all directions. The Fenshui line is the front line of confrontation between the two sides that threatens the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
largest area.
It's just that during the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan drank and hated Yubi City, and the lessons he brought to the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Dynasty were so painful that Gao Yang never launched a strong attack in this direction even when he was so crazy.
Lu Shuhu's Pingxi strategy was actually a change and packaging of Gao Huan's tactical choice to attack Yubi City based on actual background requirements. By stationing heavy troops in the Pingyang area, it created an atmosphere of high-intensity confrontation, and no longer relied on short-term battles.
The victory was determined by siege, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty's national power was continuously consumed through medium and long-term confrontation.
How can I put this strategy? It is still very feasible. First of all, it ends the weak confrontation between each other during the Gaoyang period. Secondly, it determines a medium and long-term strategy based on the consumption of national power rather than a few wars to determine victory or defeat. It is clear that
The advantages of Northern Qi itself.
There is also a more important point, that is, what was the situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time. At that time, Yuwen Hu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had just completed the second killing of his cousins, and the situation in the country was in a highly sensitive state.
Once the Northern Qi strategy is implemented, the Hedong defense line with Yubi City as the core will be in a state of long-term blood loss. Will Yuwenhu dare to invest a large amount of personnel resources in it and leave it to Wei Xiaokuan to control the dispatch and be fully responsible for the war?
The progress needs to be marked with a big question mark.
Of course, if fierce struggles and internal strife did not break out within the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Lu Shuhu's so-called three-year self-destruction would still be too optimistic. He did not have an accurate prediction of the growth of the Northern Zhou's national power. In other words, this is also a kind of strategy that counselors always draw first.
Big pie’s talking skills. Without high-intensity and effective military operations, it was already unrealistic to defeat the Northern Zhou Dynasty in three years.
Although the current Ping Xicheng strategy is even more difficult to perform, and Lu Shuhu has no chance to write to Gao Yan anymore, we have to admit that he does have a certain talent for strategy and planning.
So after reminiscing about the past to create an atmosphere and getting closer to each other, Li Tai couldn't help but ask Lu Shuhu: "Now that I am in charge of the state affairs of the Wei State, it is my duty to bring down the East bandits. My uncle has always been rich in strategy and good at planning.
Now that I have entered the pass, I wonder if there is any good strategy to teach me how to control thieves?"
