Chapter 298 Adding a Defense City

Chapter 298 Adding a Defense City

Interests have always been an important and sensitive issue. No matter how much friendship there is between trusting one's wife and sacrificing children, and sharing weal and woe, there is no match for excessive unequal spoils. If a relationship wants to be maintained for a long time and an event can be called a happy ending, then the issue of interests must be properly handled.

Bafu itself does not pay enough attention to the northern states, so the chiefs here have great autonomy. Especially Yu Wengui, a powerful man who has lived in Xiazhou for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the earth emperor of this world.

Therefore, the following profit distribution and situation arrangement also require them to discuss a plan with all parties involved and then submit it to Bafu, but they do not need to wait for Bafu's disposal arrangements.

Yu Wengui, who had the highest status among the people, acted as the convener. After cleaning the battlefield and taking stock of the harvest and getting a preliminary result, he invited everyone to his military tent to discuss this issue.

After everyone took their seats in the tent, Yu Wengui stood up and bowed to several people, and then said again: "This time of thieves and bandits, the disaster started in Xiazhou. I have been favored by the Lord to control this state." , but failed to extinguish the disaster at the first time, so that the thief's love spread to other areas. Fortunately, you were quick to deal with it, dampened the thief's flames first, and then sent troops to enter the country to kill the thief side by side, finally extinguishing this source of disaster... "

Indeed, when the thieves first invaded the country, Yu Wengui's response was not timely and effective enough. Although this was related to his temporary slackness, it was also the overreaction of the powerful chiefs in Xiazhou and their retreat to protect themselves, which caused the situation to spread.

Yu Wengui not only admitted his mistakes and complimented a few people with good words, but also came up with real things, that is, the material consumption of the armies as promised before, providing the armies with enough food and supplies to last them for one month. Considerable numbers of cattle and sheep.

Yu Wengui was so wealthy that everyone present was smiling. It took less than a month for Li Tai to lead his troops to the north to complete the attack. With Yu Wengui's guarantee, all the gains were net profits, and there was also a part of the money and grain subsidies from the Liu family in Diaoyin. Such an account could be settled It's so comfortable!

Thinking of Lady Diaoyin Liu, another idea came to Li Tai's mind, but he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he sat at the table and listened to others.

Yu Wengui's open attitude also made the atmosphere in the tent more harmonious. When several people talked about their own ideas, they were less scrupulous and more candid.

Li Mu then said that he would not keep the material subsidies given by Yu Wengui in his own pocket, but planned to use them to pay for the prisoners sent south.

As the war progressed, they either killed or captured 70,000 to 80,000 Jihu who were directly covered. Their control over the vast area between Xiazhou and Dongxiazhou was greatly strengthened. If you need to exaggerate and boast, it will be a great achievement.

Li Muxin was Fang Mu, and he was very hungry for the meritorious service of stabilizing the prefecture and conquering the masses.

Now that I have gained meritorious service, of course I want to show it off. Therefore, the biggest idea is to make the ceremony of offering prisoners larger so that people from far and near can see and hear about it. As for the actual trophies and other benefits, the requirements are: Not much.

Li Mu's proposal is also very popular. After all, the Jihu problem here is a stubborn problem that even Yu Jin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong have not been able to completely solve. They can make achievements here again, although they will not be suppressed. It's better than the previous ones, but it's still a glorious thing to talk about.

Yang Zhong also did not have a very strong demand, but specifically expressed the hope that he could use part of the allocated spoils to exchange some fine war horses with Yu Wengui and other Xiazhou chiefs.

After Li Tai heard Yang Zhong's request, he couldn't help but take a deep look at this guy. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether he was truly upright and upright, or whether he was foresighted and prepared in advance to stay away from some troubles.

Xi'an Prefecture, where Yang Zhong works as a herdsman, not only has Yanchi, but also has a large-scale official herdsmanship. The first time Li Tai entered the northern Shaanxi region was to go to Xi'an Prefecture to beg for horses that had been impounded.

As the governor of Xi'an Prefecture, it is not easy for Yang Zhong to acquire some well-bred war horses to arm his troops. Li Tai can come up with more than a dozen solutions without even thinking, and he can also guarantee that he will not violate the Bafu's prohibition.

But Yang Zhong wanted to buy war horses from Xiazhou instead of abusing his position, but he was much nobler than Li Tai who was full of vulgar tastes. In this world where public power is used for private purposes and confusion exists, it is definitely a breath of fresh air.

Therefore, when Yu Wengui heard this request, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and agreed, and repeatedly stated that he would provide Yang Zhong with the best war horses.

After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but be very moved. He had no shortage of horses, but if he could bear the burden of raising them, who would think there were too many good horses? However, he had too many thoughts in his mind, and it was difficult to express them all at once.

Another thing that made him feel that Yang Zhong was a bit far-sighted was that this guy was probably buying horses from Xiazhou to express an attitude to himself, and not to casually involve him in any under-the-table situation.

Because if Yang Zhong wants to build a war horse, Dugu Xin, who is in charge of Longyou, is undoubtedly the best choice. In the past, the places where the two served as officials were far apart, but as Yang Zhong moved inland and entered Xi'an Prefecture, the distance between them was no longer too far, and various exchanges could be carried out through Yuan Prefecture.

But Yang Zhong chose to go far and settle for the next best thing, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.

If Li Tai is sensible, it would be better to rashly introduce Yang Zhong into some behind-the-scenes operations between him and his future father-in-law. Otherwise, even if he will not be exposed, the relationship will be alienated. After all, it is good. Interpersonal interactions are never forced upon others.

Of course, it is possible that he is overthinking it, but Li Tai also has to admit that Yang Zhong is indeed quite different from other Wuchuan Town people he has met. Other Wuchuan Town people, including Dugu Xin, may be more There may be some problems with being arrogant and careless, but Yang Zhong is brave, powerful and cautious at the same time, and he is indeed an outlier among this group of veterans.

"Li Zheng, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say it. This time we have to curb the thieves. You take credit for the first battle and inspire the masses to do their best to eliminate the thieves. Only then can we feel comfortable at this time."

Yu Wengui looked at Li Tai and said with a smile on his face: "This is not the first time that I have done something like this with Engagement. Engagement can always surprise people. It is really scary! I really want to hear what you think in your heart. What to draw?"

When it was his turn to speak, Li Taina stopped being polite, sat up and said seriously: "When the random news from Beizhou came, it was during the White Water Parade. Although the military was busy, the Lord still allocated elite soldiers. In order to support the military's power, we are deeply concerned about the stability of Beizhou. Now that we have won, it is appropriate to report the victory and praise it. It is appropriate to transport the captured items to Taifu to relieve the government's shortage of travel materials. "

Originally, attacking Jihu rarely yielded a large amount of loot. Most of these guys were poor. Those with a little wealth, such as the Liu family of Diaoyin, would actively cater to Jisi's rule. But this time, among the enemies, there was Li Shihu, an anomaly from outside the country.

No wonder that guy Liu Kuzhen suggested that Li Tai ask for ransom from his father. These guys who dare to fight against the autumn wind near Jinyang and ask for money rather than their lives are really rich.

Although a lot of Li Shihu's belongings were lost and scattered in the previous camp roar, the amount collected afterwards was also quite considerable. There are hundreds of thousands of gold and silver coins of various types, thousands of pieces of various high-quality fabrics, and many precious commodities that only appear on the Silk Road trade. They are arranged in a dazzling array that makes everyone look at them. A bit dazzled.

Li Tai took the initiative to propose transporting these property materials to the Tai government, not because he had become noble under the influence of Yang Zhong, but because he felt that even if he wanted to keep them, he might not be able to keep them.

After the Grand Parade, although Yu Wentai's addiction to show off his power was satisfied, he would surely fall into the inevitable famine before and after. During this period, Yu Wentai was like a ferocious wolf with green eyes. Anyone who dared to give him a bad look on economic issues would hardly end up well.

Of course, if it was just Li Tai who participated in the battle, he would dare to make some small moves. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. I am afraid of you? But now that several coalition forces are involved in the war, it is difficult to avoid the spy and handle the matter in a low-key manner. Although I feel a little regretful, it is still safest to turn it over to the public.

Several people nodded after hearing the words. Although these trophies are eye-catching, they are limited by Kansai's business environment and production level.

"Another point is that the final general feels that it is better to gather together the remaining Lishi Hu tribe in the invaded territory than to disperse them. This Hu type is not an old problem in the territory, but a stubborn disease in the east. Killing them is only a short time, but if you can If you keep them tamed and serve for your own use for a long time, if you let them go to Xihe, they will still disturb the surrounding areas of Jinyang."

Li Tai proposed another plan of his own. The leader of Li Shihu, Zuoxian Wang Liu Tuo, died in the previous camp roar. At the same time, many important chiefs in the tribe, Qu Shuai, died. Liu Ku in his hand Zhenzhen became the most prominent leader candidate among Li Shihu.

Although the losses of Lishihu's men and horses were very serious, there were still two to three thousand men captured here. Together with the men and horses previously captured outside Guangwu City, they could still make up a majority of nearly 10,000 men.

The efficiency of taming and transforming such an overseas Hu tribe is extremely low, and the organization and management are also very troublesome. It is not worth wasting too much effort on it. It is better to exert a certain influence and control on the chieftain, and then directly package it and send it back. On the other side of the river, let them continue to grind their teeth for Jinyang Bafu.

In addition, Li Tai took out a simple state map and placed it on the table. He circled a location on the map. It was Wei Ping City that he passed through on the way here. He looked at Yu Wengui and Li Tai. Mu said: "If the two envoys have no foresight in this area, they will eventually want to set up an additional defense and a subordinate department here, so that they can raise their own money and food and have no trouble."

Historically, the Liu family of Diao Yin was a native of Dabin County, Suizhou, and had long served as the governor of the Suizhou area. When I checked the information before, I was confused with Diao Yin of Ganquan in the Luoshui River Basin. It was not easy to change, so I changed it through the plot. They went back to their hometown. . .
