Chapter 9 He Ba Po Hu
In the next few days, more people and horses were stationed here in Shayuan, and there were also teams that had already been stationed and set off, but I don't know where they were dispatched.
Shuo Hui was not in the camp, and Li Tai did not know the other generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, so naturally he had no way of knowing the upper-level movements of the Western Wei Dynasty. It can be seen that he was not bad at luck. He was able to get acquainted with the upper-level generals of the Western Wei Dynasty at the beginning of his time travel and receive care from them.
During this time, he also saw how the soldiers in other camps got along with each other. Those generals really had the authority to take life and death over their soldiers.
It's no wonder that when he was outside Tongguan Pass, Li Zhusheng stopped him from pretending to identify a unit and a flag. If he was really integrated into a certain general's team and became his personal unit, it would be really difficult to escape.
Even at the moment, if Shuhui makes up his mind and refuses to let him go, he actually has no way to escape. Although he may not be as miserable as ordinary soldiers and slaves, his personal freedom is not under his control.
Taking advantage of these few days of leisure, in addition to practicing equestrian skills and striving to fully master the battle experience accumulated by his predecessor, Li Tai also spent a lot of time talking and communicating with his subordinates to deepen their feelings.
The army of the Western Wei Dynasty had a mixed origin, which made it rare for ethnic bullying to occur in the ranks, which reflected more of the identity gap between superiors and subordinates.
Li Tai saw a Han general hanging his Xianbei soldiers outside the camp gate and beating them because they neglected to feed their horses. There were many Xianbei soldiers passing by, but no one spoke out to stop them based on the feelings of the ethnic group.
This kind of atmosphere is different from the atmosphere of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the memory of the predecessor. The Eastern Wei Dynasty can really clearly feel the contempt and oppression of the Han people by the Xianbei people. Even if they encounter someone on the country road, the Han people will stay out of the way and let the Xianbei people go first.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Tai's predecessor admired Gao Aocao, a powerful Han who dared to openly offend and resist the Hu people.
In the Western Wei Dynasty, the conflict between Hu and Han was not strong, but the class concept was stronger than that in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Those soldiers, slaves, and soldiers are equal to the private property of the general. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they can be beaten, scolded, and punished at will.
Both sides have their shortcomings when it comes to social order. After all, they both inherited some of the ills of the late Northern Wei Dynasty, and neither of them could talk about political clarity.
Relatively speaking, Li Tai still prefers the atmosphere of the Western Wei Dynasty. After all, here, he can be regarded as a ruling class with a private army.
But in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, even though they were from a famous family, they still had to tremble because of the Xianbei people's rampant and lawless behavior. Where your butt is, your head will be, that's true.
Probably because of the long-standing concept of obedience to superiors, and because Li Tai is not as vicious and mean as other powerful military leaders, the newly joined troops quickly adapted to obeying Li Tai, and some even put themselves in his shoes. Suggestions for the bridegroom to settle down and live in Guanzhong.
"Although Huazhou is close to the powerful, it is located in the east of Guandong and is often disturbed by wars, so it is difficult to settle down and buy property. Yongzhou has many wealthy families, and most of them exclude foreigners from entering the country..."
Among the new strokes, Poyantou Baolu has the most flexible eyes and brains. Although he is a barbarian, he has settled in Guanzhong for several generations. He talks about the advantages and disadvantages of various areas in Guanzhong in a clear-cut manner, just like the tone of an old Guanzhong: "Master Lang, if you want to be in Guanzhong as soon as possible, To settle down in your hometown, buying a property in Xianyang is the safest option!
If given a choice, Li Tai would be happy to listen to the advice of his subordinates, but his future is still uncertain, and listening to these superficial sentiments can only increase his knowledge.
Ten days later, several of Hui's soldiers came to summon him again. Li Taizheng was worried about his future and situation, so he followed him immediately.
In addition to the Jia soldiers that Li Tai was already familiar with, there was also a group of more than a dozen Jia Wu soldiers that he had never seen before. They were probably the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty who followed Shu Hui back to the camp as guests. Guards.
During this period, the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty gathered together, especially several of the eldest descendants of the future founding emperor. Li Tai often had the urge to get to know each other, so he was naturally curious about who was the guest in the tent.
When he was standing outside the tent waiting for the announcement, he heard cheerful laughter coming from inside the tent. After being allowed in, he walked in. The first thing that caught his eye was the burly body of Shu Hui. The person sitting next to Shu Hui was Sitting there was a foreigner who looked to be in his fifties.
"Li Lang, come on, I want to test your eyesight. Do you recognize this world-famous hero here?"
Seeing Li Taixing coming, Shuhui smiled and looked at the Hu man sitting next to him.
A world-famous hero?
When Li Tai heard this comment, he subconsciously thought of Yu Wentai, but seeing that although this foreigner had a graceful and majestic posture, he was seated next to Shu Hui, so it was obvious that he could not be Yu Wentai.
But apart from Yuwentai, who else in the Western Wei Dynasty could be said to be famous all over the world? Although the Eight Pillars Kingdom was famous in later generations, at present, most of them are just regional powerful generals.
It may not be ruled out that some Hui is flattering his colleagues, and the scope is even wider. The Western Wei Dynasty was originally a hegemonic regime mixed with Hu and Han.
"Don't embarrass the younger generation. When I was not famous in the world, he didn't even believe me in his mother's womb."
The Hu man was also looking at Li Tai with great interest, and after a moment he said with a smile: "My name is He Ba Po Hu. I went to Daxingtai to deliver documents. I wanted to see who made this majestic seal, so I talked to Huibao Come back together and ask him to introduce you."
"It turns out it's Grand Master He Ba. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful! I'm ignorant and ignorant, but the Grand Master's reputation is as thunderous as the thunder in my ears. I didn't expect that the Grand Master would deign to come to see me. I'm really frightened."
Li Tai had a sudden realization after hearing the other party introduce himself. It turns out that Shuo Hui's so-called fame all over the world was really not a boast. The man in front of him was actually He Basheng.
The Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, whose name was passed down to later generations, including the eldest brother Yu Wentai, were all juniors compared with He Basheng. Even He Batayue, the powerful leader of Wuchuan's previous generation, was just a younger brother to He Basheng.
He Basheng was indeed famous early. When Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was still unknown, he became famous in Bei Town for quelling the rebellion in six towns. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Li Tai was not even a fetus when he became famous. He Basheng has been famous for nearly twenty years, but he is only fifteen years old.
In addition to being famous in the Northern Dynasties, He Basheng also lived in Liang in the Southern Dynasties for several years. Dugu Xin, Yang Zhong and others who were very famous in later generations were all his generals. And this person is not someone who relies on his old age to show off his strength. He fought so bravely in the battle of Mangshan not long ago that he forced Gao Huan to flee in embarrassment.
Li Tai was indeed a little excited when a majestic figure in history appeared before him alive. In particular, Shuhui said before that He Basheng once led his slaves to provoke Zhao Gui. In this matter, he was obviously an old comrade worthy of friendship and goodwill.
But after hearing He Basheng's self-introduction, Li Tai still felt strange, He Basheng? Aren't you just a fool? If I get ruthless, I'll do it to myself. Is that what you mean?
"Quiet words! At your age and growing up in Dongzhou, you may have heard more of my bad deeds."
Hearing Li Tai's compliments, He Basheng sneered, but he didn't look angry. He looked at Li Tai for a few more times before smiling again: "Your father is Li Xiao, and your first uncle is Lu Shuhu? When I was in Jingzhou, Shu Hu is an old colleague of mine. We haven’t seen each other for many years. How is he doing in Dongzhou now?”
Li Tai was stunned again when he heard this. He rummaged through his past memory and recalled that there was indeed a relative like Lu Shuhu. But there are not many contacts in his memory. He lives in Qinghe, while Lu Shuhu lives in Fanyang. There are no trains or planes nowadays. Even if close relatives live in two places, it is not easy to meet them.
"After my uncle returned to the north, he settled down in the countryside, but he often regretted that he failed to do a good job in assisting the envoy."
Li Tai opened his mouth with polite words. He was not familiar with the experience He Basheng mentioned, but knowing that He Basheng surrendered to Nanliang around that time, it was not a good memory to remember.
When He Basheng heard this, a trace of regret flashed in his expression, and then he sighed: "Time is also fate, it would be fine if he doesn't blame me for being stubborn and narrow-minded, but now I can still live in two places, so there is nothing to regret. "
"The Li family of Longxi is worthy of being a famous family in the world. We have countless old friends. You two actually have such a connection. Brother Heba, you didn't mention this when you introduced me to me before. Anyway, I am also happy to see the talent. I want to Come into my tent and seize someone? Although Li Lang is young, he is very talented and talented, but I am not willing to let him go!"
After hearing the two people reminiscing about old times, Shuo Hui laughed and pointed at Li Tai and said: "To talk about the past, Daxingtai asked me to go out to rule Qinzhou, but my army is really short of talented people. Will Li Lang be willing?" Come with me?"
When Li Tai heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
He was previously unwilling to follow Shuo Hui, partly because he did not want to get too close to the embarrassing figure of the Western Wei Emperor. Unexpectedly, he turned around and moved Shuo Hui from the leading general to the governor of Qinzhou.
Qinzhou is located on the right side of Longxi, and can also be regarded as the hometown of the Li family in Longxi.
Mangshan was newly defeated, and Guanzhong was obviously sensitive about personnel affairs. If Li Tairuo followed, he would be able to avoid getting involved in this complicated personnel dispute. Under the care of the governor Shuo Hui, he could also focus on managing local personnel affairs, which was considered a good thing. A great place to visit.
Li Taishang pondered to himself about the weighing, but He Basheng had already spoken, pointing at Shuo Hui and scolding with a smile: "You are a veteran of Beizhen, but you also know how to care for the virtuous. However, although Li Lang is famous for his talents, he is still young and reluctant. As a county minister, good governance will not bring glory to the family, but bad governance will ruin the reputation of the family. Don't mention this matter again. His family's fate and fortune are unknown, and he is not in the mood to go to another state with you. "
Li Tai didn't expect that He Basheng Yuezu would refuse to recruit him on his behalf. He didn't have any stubborn family ideas and believed that the county minister was a corrupt official, but he couldn't ignore the second reason He Basheng said.
So he could only hold up his hands and say: "Thank you very much, Grand Master Heba, for speaking my mind, and thank you so much for your favor and recruitment. But I am too young to be promoted, and I am worried about your family, so I can only regret it and thank you." "
Although Hui Hui felt a little regretful after hearing this, even Wuchuan's eldest brother He Basheng spoke up and stopped continuing this topic.
The three of them sat down and chatted for a while. He Basheng then stood up to leave. He looked at Li Tai and said, "The military camp is full of evil and is not a place to stay for a long time. If you don't care much about this, Li Lang will go to Huazhou with me."
After Li Tai heard this, he was stunned again. He couldn't understand why He Basheng was so enthusiastic about him when they just met for the first time.
