0774 Invincible in battle

When the team arrived at the south bank of the Weishui River, the scale of the entire team expanded even more as the amount of food, grass and baggage they obtained along the way far exceeded the plan.

Yu Wenhu, who was traveling with him, followed all the way and saw with his own eyes the enthusiasm of the people in Guanzhong to support the army. He couldn't help but sigh with amusement: "People say that Boshan is good at running the army, but now it seems that he is even more outstanding in pleasing the people. Even if he has no authority, he is good at running the army." The people in the countryside rushed to contribute to the army after hearing about the army's march, which is really amazing! "

Li Tai looked at Yu Wenhu's insincere expression and felt that this guy was trying to say that he was good at gaining fame and popularity and pleasing people.

He didn't bother to explain why the people in Weinan were like this. Even if he did, Yu Wenhu probably just didn't take it seriously. He probably felt that he had ulterior motives instead of imitating others. After all, people are accustomed to staying in the power field, being wary of left and right, looking upward, but rarely paying attention to the bottom, because investment and harvest are really not proportional, and the results are slow.

There were already envoys from the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office waiting here in Weinan. In addition to welcoming Li Tai and his party, they also informed him of Yu Wentai's latest order.

It was almost mid-February at this time, so Grand Master Yuwen and the people from the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office had already rushed to Chang'an to prepare for the abolition of Li. Therefore, Li Tai did not need to go to the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Palace to see him, and directly led his troops to Chang'an. That’s it.

At the same time, Li Zhusheng and others who had been staying in Shang Yuan were already waiting here. Li Tai had no time to return to his hometown to rest, so he sent a group of cavalry, led by Li Ya, to escort his wife who was accompanying him to Shang Yuan Township to stay and rest temporarily.

The reason why he did not take his wife with him to Chang'an was because Li Tai was worried that Yu Wentai might summon the couple to the imperial city for a visit in the name of acknowledging their relatives.

Chang'an can be regarded as the home ground of the Yuchi brothers. Without adequate personnel protection, he would not casually set foot in the imperial city and palaces. As for some important ceremonial occasions, as a foreign aid specially summoned by the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, of course he also needs to lead his troops and armor staff to attend.

After saying goodbye to his wife for a while, Li Tai led his troops to continue westward along the south bank of the Weishui River. Naturally, there are people who come to greet you along the way. In addition to some close relatives and friends, there are also many people who are not too close. Some deliberately avoid Chang'an, the center of the vortex storm, and some are not qualified to join. in.

The schedule at this time was already very tight, so Li Tai naturally had no time to stop and chat with people on the way. He simply met and exchanged greetings with those who greeted him and then continued on his way.

During the trip, he carefully learned about the current development of things from his cousin Li Pei who came to greet him, and he also had a general understanding of the current situation in Chang'an City.

At present, people from all parties have gathered in Chang'an. No matter whether they agree or disagree with this abolishment, no one dares to discuss it openly.

For example, among the representatives of the Yuan and Wei clans, except for Wang Yuanxin of Guangling, who replaced Yuwentai as the prime minister, who was ill in bed, other high-ranking Wang Yuanyu of Huai'an and Wang Yuanzan of Guangping, etc., had taken the initiative to avoid Chang'an and went to Xianyang to live temporarily. .

During the process of deposing the emperor, they, the Yuan and Wei clans, had to avoid it. They would not return until the next time a new emperor was established. This not only creates an image of the deposed emperor Yuan Qin as being rebellious and unsupported, but also avoids any unnecessary influence at this fatally sensitive moment.

As for the other Zhuguo Kingdoms, they had all gathered in Chang'an at this time. They stayed in their mansions in the middle of the capital and lived in seclusion. They also saw no outsiders. Maintaining such a silent attitude not only shows that the Zhuguo Kingdoms have reached a consensus, but also highlights the authority of Taishi Yuwentai.

The other Guandong aristocratic families and the Guanlong natives basically have no say in this matter, their sense of presence is not high, and there is nothing left for them to do, except Wei Xiaokuan, the governor of Yongzhou. Of course, the deposed emperor could not continue to live in the palace, so Wei Xiaokuan needed to clear out a courtyard in Yongzhou Prefecture for the deposed emperor to live.

Those who greeted Li Tai were basically the Guandong clan and some indigenous members of Guanzhong. Although they were excluded from the core of power, they were also curious about the development and direction of the situation.

Compared with the people from all sides who remained silent in Beijing, it seems that Li Tai, who has just returned to the court, has more hope of getting some real information out. However, Li Tai has always been on the road in full clothes and has not left the army, leaving these people There is no way to get close and get information.

Working hard along the way, Li Tai led his troops to Bashang to the east of Chang'an City two days later. At this time, there were also many Chinese and foreign soldiers stationed in the Bashang wilderness. Li Mu was waiting outside the military camp to greet Li Tai.

"The general's command of the Hundred-Victory Division is truly worthy of its reputation. It is like a torrent rushing up the mountain. It really makes the viewers frustrated and makes all the soldiers in the camp feel ashamed!"

Li Mu strode forward to greet them, looking at the neat troops behind Li Tai, he said with half compliment and half envy.

Nowadays, although Guanzhong Fubing has been reorganized and matured, the nature of private music is still very strong. Different military leaders and different jurisdictions will have obvious differences in the appearance of the soldiers. It's fine when one or two teams stay together, but when many troops gather together, it still seems a bit disorganized.

But Li Tai's troops are different. Thousands of people are uniformly dressed and full of energy. Although they are dusty, they are full of energy. Thousands of people move in an orderly manner and advance and retreat neatly. This kind of military appearance is very pleasing to the eye. If anyone could have such an elite army, they would laugh out loud in their dreams!

Li Mu was also a person from the Western Wei Dynasty who came into contact with Li Tai relatively early. He knew that Li Tai had grown from a weak force when he first entered Guanzhong to his current power, and they had a close friendship with each other. At this time, when he saw Li Tai returning to the court with thousands of elite troops, he I was also deeply moved in my heart.

After Li Tai heard this, he also smiled quite proudly, because he and Li Mu were quite familiar with each other, so he sighed unceremoniously and said: "In everything, there are gains and losses. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an elite and brave enemy that dares to shout in battle, and their experience is not as rich as that of Duke Wu An!”

Li Mu originally pricked his ears to hear what Li Tai was worried about, but what he didn't expect was a naked show off. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then sighed: "If the general regrets this, Are you willing to get along with me in a different place and let me experience the general’s troubles?”

After Li Tai heard this, he chuckled. He felt that Li Mu was getting more and more regressive, and was starting to follow the funny route of his son Li Ya?

Li Mu also knew that this was unrealistic, so he immediately took out a warrant and several golden military talismans and handed them to Li Tai, saying: "The Lord has ordered the Jingzhou Division to temporarily station in the small town in the southern suburbs. In addition, All transactions in and out of the guard are based on the golden talisman. It cannot be done without orders. Please keep it properly, General."

As he spoke, he carefully explained the purpose of each soldier talisman to Li Tai. Each soldier talisman has a different function and is applicable to different scenarios. Because Li Tai's level was high enough and he had to come in and out of many places during the ceremony, there were as many as seven or eight various military talisman order letters.

Li Tai took over the golden talismans one by one, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that their boss had worked so hard and spent a lot of money to abolish the establishment this time, and even specially forged a batch of brand-new military talismans. And this complicated arrangement of order symbols also shows that the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi are now heavily guarded.

Looking at the dazzling and bright appearance of these golden talismans, Li Tai couldn't help but take out the knife from his waist and poked the surface of one of the golden talismans. Immediately, he saw that the metal inside changed color, and it turned out to be just a layer of gold plating.

Li Mu was immediately speechless when he saw this move, and reminded in a low voice: "These military talismans are all specially made, and they must be returned together after the incident. It is better to be more solemn and cherish them!"

After Li Tai heard this, he glanced at the corner of his mouth, saying how rare he was about this thing. He reached back and took a deerskin bag from the soldier behind him, then stuffed all the military talismans into it and handed it to Zhang Shinu to carry and keep.

After finishing the official business, Li Mucai came forward again and said with a smile: "Do you want Bo Shan to enter the city first to pay homage to the Lord? But the city is under martial law, so we must inform you in advance. After all, we cannot relax during this special period."

After hearing this, Li Tai shook his head, patted the dust on his robes and said, "The journey has been dusty and windy. It would be disrespectful to kowtow at this time. It is better to arrange for the troops to stay overnight and wait in the camp tomorrow."

After saying this, he waved to Li Mu, returned to his army, and ordered his troops to go south. At the same time, he grabbed Yuwen Hu who was about to leave and said with a smile: "Although there have been many visits between the capital and the capital, leading troops I’m still a stranger here, could you please help me with the camp affairs first?”

He was thinking that if Yuchigang dared to take advantage of the landlord to make things difficult for him, he would beat Yuwenhu to vent his anger. After saying this, regardless of whether Yu Wenhu agreed or not, he immediately mounted his horse and headed south of the city.
