Chapter 421: King's Merit
Yu Wentai took Li Tai's hand and went straight into the tent, refusing to let go. Therefore, Li Tai had to sit at the table with Yu Wentai.
Although it felt a bit awkward, I had to say that the view overlooking everyone in the tent was really good. He could see everyone's expressions and reactions, and he didn't want to leave once he sat down.
He looked around at the seats in the tent and found that the people present today were not much different from those at the Xianyang parade a few months ago, except that there were a few missing generals.
So he estimated in his mind that these people might not leave after the parade ended, and had been gathering in Huazhou to wait for further news about the war. They were probably still worried and sleepy, not knowing how to face the Eastern Wei army that was about to enter Guanzhong again with great force. However, they did not expect that after several months of eating and sleeping, the Eastern bandits not only did not invade Guanzhong, but because Jinyang The lair was in turmoil and had to withdraw its troops and was defeated.
After all the people were seated, Yu Wentai looked at Li Tai who was sitting beside him with eager eyes, and couldn't help but speak out again: "Boshan's great achievements during this trip can be said to be a sensation in the whole country, and the government and the public are aware of it. But in fact, you and others still only know one and don’t know the other, and the deeds he has done are far more than that!”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look up with their eyes wide open. They were quite surprised and suspicious in their hearts. The deeds they had heard about alone were already beyond envy. Is there anything more powerful? What they don't know?
Yu Wentai did not sell out, but continued: "After the Eastern bandits withdrew, Wei Xiaokuan of Yubi City sent envoys to the country to report the victory, and he helped Boshan to express his help. Not only did he go deep into Boshan alone, but also went directly to Boshan. The reason for destroying the thieves' nest was because the people of Yubi City were able to survive the heavy siege of the East bandit army and still have enough food and strong fighting spirit. They had received Boshan's generous support before the war, and had abundant supplies that could be used for a long time. , so people’s hearts are always at peace, and thieves are hard to bully!”
When everyone heard that Li Tai not only went deep into enemy territory to fight, but also financed the war effort in Yubi City, they couldn't help but marvel. The thief He Liuhun's menacing army of hundreds of thousands came south, but they were defeated by Li Boshan, who had swords and guns in one hand and food in the other!
Li Tai had already expected that the Tai government wanted to promote him, but when he heard this, he also smelled the smell of flattery. Although he now has food and guns, the tigers can't hold off a group of jackals. Looking at the eyes of everyone in the tent looking at him, they are already a bit richer than before.
He knew that he could no longer let Yu Wentai continue to act like this, so he hurriedly avoided the table and bowed in front of it. He said in a sincere and sincere tone: "Under the sun and moon, everything is orderly and in its proper place, so that there is peace and harmony.
The Lord has showered me with many praises, but I am really ashamed and undeserved. I know that the reason why I am praised a little is not because of my superior talent, but because I am in the right place for my job. The Lord upholds justice and governs the world. He controls more than two or three people. In this account alone, there are many seniors who have performed far better than the ministers.
Your Majesty never abandons me because of my shallowness, but is generous and generous, and I am never stingy with giving. What I am doing now is really not my own merit, but my Majesty’s wise management and control of my subordinates. Therefore, I am decisively better than He Liuhun. Tao, win with Tao! "
"Well, well, one can win with Dao!"
It had been a long time since Yu Wentai had heard Li Tai flatter him. When he heard these words, the addictive feeling suddenly came back. He immediately stood up and walked around the table in high spirits. Bu still couldn't hide his joy, walked around the table and walked down from the tent. He helped Li Tai up, patted his shoulders and laughed: "Such a talented and insightful young man, He Liuhun actually It can't be used, but it was found for me. How can I not overcome it with Tao?"
Although the others had been a little numb by the display of these two people, they did not dare to neglect when it was time to support them, so they all clapped and responded.
After expressing their mutual feelings, Yuwen Taicai took Li Tai back to the table and sat down again. He ordered the servants to bring the food and wine in, and then held a banquet in the tent to wash away the dust for Li Tai.
Although he had read the battle report that Li Tai had previously submitted to the Taiwanese government many times and had almost memorized it by heart, after a few glasses of wine, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Yu Wentai ordered Li Tai to tell the story of his trip to the banquet. will be narrated again.
Over the years, he has faced off and fought many battles with Gao Huan, but there is no feeling of sympathy between them. Every time he thinks of the other party, he is full of hatred and wants to put him to death. When he hears that the other party is unlucky, it is the most painful thing. Pleasant things.
So when Li Tai started to talk, Yu Wentai was still listening very intently.
As a person who has experienced it, Li Tai is very good at rhetoric. When telling his own experience, he will inevitably add some exaggeration and embellishment. In addition, the things are thrilling and twists and turns, which is more fascinating than a simple text description. Therefore, Everyone in the tent soon became fascinated by his description.
"It's so happy, so happy!"
Whenever he heard something exciting, Yu Wentai couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp. For fear of disturbing the rhythm of the story told by Li Tai, he waved his hands when others stood up to toast.
When he heard that Li Tai defeated the traitor army with Li Yunxin and others in a battle at Chiji Ridge and killed the traitor Yan Zixian in the battle, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The country is empty, and clever tactics are not as good as Zangzhuo actually took the initiative to lure uncontrollable people in. Isn't this seeking his own death? Did the traitor Yanzi's corpse return to Boshan with you?"
Li Tai had been prepared for this, and he hurriedly got up and left the table, and went outside the tent to explain. Not long after, Li Yunxin and others brought the processed swallow body into the tent.
"Okay, okay! I treated this thief very well in the past, but he betrayed me and became a thief. Now he has gone and returned, but his life is gone. Boshan has eliminated traitors for the country and avenged me. Come home quickly." , drink the Holy Cup with you!”
Yuwentai took Yan Zixian's sparsely haired head and looked at it, then he laughed and greeted Li Tai back to the table, and ordered his guards to display the head to all the troops inside and outside as a warning.
Seeing that Yu Wentai was in a good mood, Li Tai didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he hurriedly handed over his hand and said: "The members who enter the account and donate are the disciples who sneaked into the bandit army and fought back in battle. They are loyal and courageous, and go in and out of the bandit territory." , turning a blind eye to the dangers, using one's life in the face of battle, being brave and not afraid of death, are the only way to achieve this success together. "
After Yu Wentai heard this, he also laughed and praised Li Yunxin and others. When he found out that Li Yunxin was the grandson of Li Tai's same clan, he seemed a little overjoyed. He smiled and said: "I have such a favor to admire and follow." , Moreover, this disciple himself is very brave, and he will definitely become a capable general in a few years. He will be commissioned by the court, and today I will appoint him as Commander-in-Chief and Consul, under your command!"
While talking, several other soldiers who entered the account were also given the title of Commander-in-Chief. Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly led several people to thank him. These are special awards in addition to the regular awards. Later, when you go to court to report your merits, you will be awarded on the basis of this title.
Yan Zixian, the traitor, was just an appetizer, and Liu Feng was the highlight. Most of the people in the tent today were also looking forward to this, so when Li Tai came back to talk about this section, the crowd looked at Zhao Gui in the tent with tacit understanding.
In fact, Zhao Gui was not the only general in the country who had conquered Lingzhou, but Li Bi was still guarding the river defense, while Li Hu was stationed in the capital, and the other people present were not as powerful as Zhao Gui, so Zhao Gui Received focused attention.
"Liu Fengsheng is a cunning, cruel and rebellious disciple. He cannot be supported by kindness or surrendered by power. In previous years, it was a great danger to the country to occupy Lingzhou. After he ran away and became a bandit, he became a powerful enemy among thieves. I believe that everyone in the tent must have fought against the enemy together. , It can be proved that this thief is fierce and hard to eliminate. If he is not a man of courage and talent, he will be an enemy."
When Zhao Gui saw that everyone was looking at him, he bit the bullet and spoke. Then he looked at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Although this thief is evil, Li Kaifu can defeat him. It's really gratifying!"
Hearing that this old boy deliberately used ambiguous words to disgust himself, Li Tai sneered in his heart and was too lazy to start a war of words with him. He just said: "Liu Feng was not born as one of the thieves. It is not a pity to die. Let's display his corpse in front of everyone to encourage him." The former teacher can.
However, I have collected thousands of dead soldiers from the Mangshan battle in Jinyang, so I need to properly accommodate them, comfort the martyrs, and replenish the national supply. Many of these people were sick and wounded, and I couldn't bear to rush them in the middle of winter, so I begged the Lord to send the chief censor to Beizhou to make a living and comfort them. "
When Zhao Gui heard this, his face suddenly fell. He, the lieutenant of the censor, was a part-time military judge. If this matter was included in his duties, it would be difficult to shirk it, and he would have to go to northern Shaanxi. But northern Shaanxi has been managed by this guy for a long time. Is it so easy to get there?
After hearing this, Yu Wentai's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "These old soldiers are trapped in the den of thieves, but they can still keep their old loyalty and help you, Boshan, to achieve great achievements. They really need to be cared for and rewarded. There will be many things about this later in the mansion." Pay attention."
Naturally, it is not easy to discuss this kind of specific affairs in detail on such an occasion. After Yuwentai finished explaining the officials present, he continued to drink with the crowd.
When the wine was full and his ears were hot, Yu Wentai also felt a little drunk in his brows and eyes, so he took Li Tai's wrist and sighed: "If you can achieve a king's merit, it is called a service. What Boshan did, that's it. If you can name it, you can describe your merits." Ambition can be said to be a great kindness..."
When Li Tai heard this, his heart suddenly jumped. Is this the way to give me a name?
Before he could react, Yu Wentai patted his shoulder again and continued with a smile: "I still remember that when I met Boshan at the beginning of the year, I felt sorry for myself because I was alone and helpless. I also felt sorry for him, so I often visited him. I hope you can be diligent in dealing with things and don't live in seclusion and feel sad. Now that I have gradually entered the age of understanding things and choosing the right things, Boshan, would you like to work as a teaching assistant? "
When Li Tai heard this, his posture became more respectful, but there were many thoughts in his heart. Is it inevitable that I will be given a name? And he can’t fucking make Yuwentai!
