Chapter 361 The storm is coming
Some things have to be denied even if they are caught, not to mention Han Bao's reasonable inferences that are based on reality but have no evidence, and Li Tai must not admit it no matter what.
So his face suddenly changed, he put away his polite smile before, and held the sword at his waist with his hand, his eyes became cold and stern: "Why did Han Shizhong say this? Da Xingtai and Hanoi have a deep and profound friendship. We have similar interests and take it as our duty to restore the great unification and punish the traitors in the country. I have been taught by the two governments successively, and I am deeply aware of this meaning. Although I have no achievements to boast about, my heart is honest and pure! , I absolutely can’t stand it!”
Han Bao had heard of Li Tai's strong skills in Ci Feng, but this time he was restrained by others due to his weakness, so he wanted to seize the momentum first, but he was glared back.
However, Han Bao did not continue to reprimand, and his attitude soon changed to a humble and kind one. He apologized to Li Tai and sighed: "Boshan and I have not met each other for the first time, but today is the new meeting after a long separation. It is inevitable that we will meet each other for the first time." I'm a little worried that Boshan might have different interests from you, so I thought this extreme statement was a test. But if I ask Xiongsheng again, I know that your style and quality are still the same as before. It's indeed offensive. Please forgive me. Chi Xi allows me to apologize in person."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Han Bao suddenly lowered his posture, and Li Tai couldn't continue to care about him for a while. Although he was still prospering in Taifu, Han Bao was one of the few senior people in Taifu. Although he was not in the same system now, he still had to give him some face.
So his expression softened slightly, and he stood sideways and raised his hand to invite Han Bao into the hall. He pointed at the documents spread out on the case that he had not yet put away and said: "With the army hanging outside and the military affairs busy, it is really difficult to get away." I have some free time, so please forgive me for not being able to greet Han Shizhong in person."
After hearing this, Han Bao quickly nodded to express his understanding and understanding of Li Tai's situation, and then said: "It was only after I entered the country that I found out that such evil things happened in the country not long ago. It is really shocking, and it's no wonder. Shan Zhen wants to intimidate everyone. Although we are here to offer condolences, if there is any need, I ask Bo Shan that you must speak out and do it without hesitation!"
"I am extremely grateful that Han Shizhong can understand the hard work of the state officials. Now that the people in the country are united and the rural heroes have gathered here, there is no shortage of manpower. If there are any more thugs who dare to harbor violent thoughts, they will be severely punished. No loan!”
After hearing this, Li Tai replied, looking at Han Bao up and down before smiling again: "I do have one thing to ask for, and that is to ask Han Shizhong to abide by the instructions of the state government and never violate them. !
It's not that I am exercising my power or showing off in front of others. Shizhong Han should know my current situation. He has not been in town for a long time and has not shown any kindness, so he can only use intimidation to scare the people without discrimination. Nowadays, everyone in the country is in danger. If I see someone acting outside the law and doing anything extreme, it is beyond my control. "
When Han Bao heard this, he suddenly felt a headache again. He wanted to use Wang De's name to suppress him, but when he thought that Zhao Gui, who was much more powerful than Wang De, he didn't have any dignity in the eyes of this boy. Feng, then gave up this idea of asking for trouble.
But Li Taiqiang's method of forcing their troops to surrender their weapons was not only unacceptable to Wang De, but also to Han Bao. In this way, he not only becomes a laughing stock, but also completely gives up the initiative in the future.
After pondering for a while, Han Bao then said: "Before leaving, the Lord also told me that you are already outstanding in Boshan, but now you are in the hometown of accidents. Under the influence of nostalgia, you will surely produce more beneficial methods. The plan of water and soil. Now I am ranked second due to my age. In a few years, I will be able to take charge and become a good minister who can govern the country!"
There are pros and cons to being young. Many people try to seduce young people by drawing cakes on them, thinking that increasing their expectations for the future will make them a bully in the present.
Li Tai had experienced this kind of thing more than once, and Han Bao couldn't be said to be an expert at painting pancakes, so Li Tai just smiled slightly after hearing these words, and didn't even bother to answer.
After all, he was asking for trouble. When Han Bao saw that Li Tai was somewhat aloof, Han Bao began to feel a little worried.
He first took a deep breath, then stared straight at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "I know that Bo Shan, you are far more scheming than your peers, and I don't treat you as an ignorant young person. I hope you can Shen Yuncheng Mansion, don’t engage in any useless disputes. Although you are very resourceful, you must also understand the general trend. Some things cannot be stopped and reversed by just Li Boshan!"
These words were more serious. After hearing this, Li Tai narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment of pondering, he looked at Han Bao calmly and said, "Thank you so much, Han Bao, for your compliments, but I don't deserve it. What's the situation?" It’s not something I can discuss, but since I am responsible for this, I will do my best! If Han Shizhong thinks that what I am doing is inappropriate, then I may not be the same person as me.”
Of course Li Tai knew why Han Bao and the others came, but knowing that didn't mean he had to obey. At least Yu Wentai didn't explicitly order him to cooperate with Han Bao and the others.
Now Han Bao and others wanted to break into the empty door and steal the house, but they ended up in their own hands. They didn't do their job well, but they ended up using the name of Daxantai to talk about the general trend.
Li Tai is a good at using the power of a fox to bully a tiger, so naturally he will not be easily intimidated. Even if he is frightened by the authority and has no choice but to betray Dugu Xin, he will not sell it to Han Bao and the others. Even Han Bao and the others have to become chips in his hands. , demonstrating his irreplaceability in this matter.
After hearing Li Tai's answer, Han Bao was speechless for a while. After a while, he said again: "So, Boshan, what are you going to do with us?"
"I can't decide this matter. I can only treat Han Shizhong and his party with courtesy and wait for the Duke of Hanoi to return to town to ask questions."
Li Tai first shook his head and replied, then looked at Han Bao and said with some seriousness: "I would like to advise Han Bao, Daxingtai still firmly adheres to the grand plan of being patient for the country, and we don't need to compete with others in the affairs of the group." For merit. Make progress step by step, and don’t gamble on the ups and downs of the country’s destiny for the sake of one person’s honor or disgrace!”
Han Bao's expression became complicated again after hearing this. Regardless of whether what Li Tai said made sense or not, he was somewhat unhappy to be taught such a lesson by such a young man in front of him.
So he snorted coldly and said: "This plan is a little off, and I would like to thank Li Sanqi for his advice. But Li Sanqi thought that I was a gambler, so he saw very little. The reason why this plan must be done is that It is to secure a long-term plan for Sheji to cope with the drastic changes! Li Sanqi is riding at Longbian, thinking that he does not know the critical situation that the country will face now. It has been three years since the battle of Mangshan in the ninth year of Datong. It hasn’t disappeared yet, and the armor and military uniform will cover this body again!”
After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, and immediately asked quickly: "Has the army of the Eastern Thieves come to Jade Bi again?"
He remembered that the battle of Yubi in history took place in the second half of the year, but now he was a variable that was deeply involved in the current situation, and Gao Huan would start early if he could not protect Qi.
Of course he had to pay close attention to such a major event that could change the structure of the East and West. When he heard Han Bao talk about the war between the two Wei Dynasties, he couldn't help but become excited.
Han Bao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly shook his head and continued: "Yubi City is deep and dangerous, and the people in the east of the river fought bravely, and the river defenses are complete. It is difficult for thieves to get in and out easily.
But this does not mean that there will be no siege in Sheji. Seeing that their power is gradually becoming more and more isolated, the Eastern thieves deliberately bribed thieves from surrounding tribes, formed alliances with Rouran, Tuyuhun and others, and planned to jointly attack our country.
We were ordered to come west this time. In addition to rewarding the troops, we also wanted to strengthen the forces on the Longbian border and coordinate with the Hanoi public department to prepare for Hu. In addition, the Taiwan government has also ordered all the states in the pass to immediately prepare their troops and hold this year's parade several months in advance. All troops will be gathered in Xianyang in July..."
Listening to Han Bao's narration, Li Tai's expression became more and more serious, and thoughts were racing in his mind.
Because he knew in advance that there would be a Jade Battle this year, many of his choices and actions were centered around this point. However, the people of the Western Wei Dynasty obviously do not have such a certain understanding as him. They need to summarize and sort out the various information they currently have in order to make certain predictions.
Whether Gao Huan would raise troops to attack the jade is not a fact that can be determined in Han Bao's mouth, and the military conspiracy between Rouran, Tuyuhun, etc. and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was something that Li Tai had not noticed.
Tuyuhun may have been a little too cautious. He may have had relevant plans, but in the end he did not dare to send troops to implement them. Now that Liangzhou has been pacified, Tuyuhun has also missed the best opportunity to send troops.
But the odds are really high for Rouran. Gao Huan has already climbed onto the bed of Princess Rouran, and the Western Wei Dynasty has also made a new love, Tujue. It is also a logical situation for Rouran to cooperate with the Eastern Wei's military operations to attack the Western Wei.
Of course, Li Tai would not believe Han Bao's words easily, but it is always difficult to fake something like this when the Grand Parade is held several months in advance. If it is true that the reading is in advance, then other things, even if they are not necessarily all the facts, must be very different.
After listening to Han Bao's story, Li Tai couldn't help but murmur in his heart, no longer as tough and confident as before.
Previously, he had determined that the Battle of Yubi would definitely happen in the second half of the year, and it would be difficult for Yuwentai to invest a lot of manpower and material resources against Longyou. The arrival of Han Bao and others also verified his idea. Bafu even did such dishonorable things as stealing homes, which shows that he really lacks the confidence and preparation to use force against Longyou.
Therefore, Li Tai feels that no matter what method is used, as long as Gao Huan is delayed until Gao Huan sends troops, it will be an opportunity for Longyou and Duguxin. Coupled with the personnel foundation he has laid out, it will definitely make the next The situation is developing for the better.
But the Battle of Yubi is not an isolated plot mission. As long as the timeline is pushed forward, it will inevitably happen. It may happen earlier or later. Even if an old pear tree catches the wind, it will simply die. Such a thing happened.
No matter what happens, it will naturally be very unfavorable to Longyou.
Yuwentai has now begun to gather people from various states in the pass, but Gao Huan's mobilization order has not yet been issued. Without a clear goal, the pressure generated by this action that violated the routine of the past few years will naturally require Longyou, who also had a similar situation, took the responsibility.
However, a single Duguxin from Longyou might not be worth Yuwentai’s efforts to gather an army several months in advance to deter him. However, if there is also the factor of Rouran or future bandits, as well as some unusual features of his old rival the Eastern Wei Dynasty, If there are any signs, it would be worthwhile for Yuwentai to gather the army several months in advance.
Anyway, if Li Tai was Gao Huan, if he saw the current situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, he would not rush to attack and stay in Jinyang to drink wine and watch the show, but he would be unable to get in when the army came to the jade wall. Much better.
As for saying that we must launch an attack because we feel our fate is near, that is overthinking. First of all, Gao Huan is not a person who must pursue victory on the frontal battlefield. He is more shady than anyone else. Secondly, he could feel that he was about to die soon. Despite the medical conditions in ancient times, he was still rushing to lead an army on an expedition. Was he worried that if he died in Jinyang, Black Otter would not get much of his inheritance?
Therefore, Li Tai also ignored a very important causal relationship. Because the Longyou issue could be properly resolved, the Western Wei Dynasty as a whole could face the Battle of Jade Bi with a relatively unified appearance and make full use of the subsequent series of opportunities. It was not because of the occurrence of the Battle of Yubi that Yuwentai could give up various rights and interests and tolerate the internal hilltops at the expense of others.
After realizing this, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh. This Gao Huan is only true to Yuwentai. Even at the moment of death, he will leave a major historical opportunity to Yuwentai, and even his own son will have a lot of income. Not as good as.
Li Tai had indeed made a lot of preparations, and even held a group of people sent by Yu Wentai to steal the house here. But if he went too far, he might have to be trapped here together with his father-in-law. If you give it to me, there is a high probability that you will follow the old path of Hou Mo and Chen Yue again.
After all, his time in Long was too short, and all he did after all was to give Dugu Xin a greater say in the subsequent negotiations, but not to separate one party's capital.
Han Bao didn't know that his words made Li Tai give birth to such rich associations. Seeing that he just remained silent and refused to believe his words, he then said: "Li Sanqi is not completely innocent in Guanzhong." You can use your ears and eyes to ask questions quickly and avoid making impulsive decisions that you will regret in the future.”
Li Tai rolled his eyelids again after hearing this. Even if I want to adjust my strategic thinking, it will be a matter between me and Daxantai. Will it affect the fact that you, the five scumbags of war, are being held here by me?
Even if you are tickling someone, you must scratch the itchy area and use the force appropriately. Only then can you be a real master. If others don't stare, they kneel down first and lick randomly for no apparent reason. That can't be called dog licking. They just love to eat shit. They have ringworm on their tongues and are bitchy in their bones!
So he straightened his face again and said in a deep voice: "Thank you so much, Minister Han, for your advice. You told me many of the latest situations in the country. I feel the hardship of my work more and more, and I don't dare to slack off. So please also report to Mr. Hejian, please don't fall into trap." I’m in a dilemma, I’m not allowed to wear a piece of armor!”
When Han Bao heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. Was he just wasting his words for a long time? It's not in vain, Li Tai's attitude is much firmer now than when they first met.
