“The last general Han Guo has seen Li Kaifu. He has also heard a lot of news when he opened the mansion. I feel honored to be able to follow Kaifu to Beizhou this time. If there are any shortcomings in the work, please give me advice!” Li Tai and his party had just arrived north and arrived at Shibao Fangcheng on the east bank of Luoshui. Another team of people caught up with him on the back. The leader was a strong middle-aged Hu general. Before he got closer, he greeted Li Tai and greeted him and told him.
Li Mu had made some suggestions to the Taiwan Prefecture that he could resolve the matter and return to the prefecture. Taking advantage of the attack on the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yuwen Tai also decided to recall this confidant general, and Han Guo was the one who replaced Li Mu as the governor of Dongxiazhou.
Li Tai’s team of men consumed a lot of food and grass every day in the village. Naturally, the earlier they went to the town, the better. They did not wait for Han Guo to go with them, and only left a message to ask him to move north quickly.
“General Han doesn’t have to be polite. You have been working for many years and have rich experience. The Lord deliberately wants you to go with you. I must have a wise man who is a predecessor to rely on. I really don’t dare to give you advice. I should work harder for young people. I hope to be loyal to the general and work hard together.”
Han Guo is also from Wuchuan Town. He once served as Hebayue’s confidant in the account. He is far superior to Li Tai in terms of qualifications. This time he replaced Li Mu as the governor of Dongxia Prefecture. In terms of official position, he is not a subordinate of Li Tai. However, Dongxia Prefecture’s military must also be controlled by Li Tai. It is also an experienced and steady deputy arranged by Yuwen Tai for Li Tai. Therefore, Li Tai must treat him with courtesy.
He saw that Han Guo and his party had only a few dozen members, and thought that he was just a simple person to chase him, so he smiled and said, “In order not to miss the time, the people should not be stopped temporarily. I will take the staff to meet General Han’s subordinates.”
“Later Master? No, the old leader of Hedong Township Quju stayed in that territory, but only dozens of slaves chased him to the town.” Han Guo was stunned at first after hearing this, and then he quickly replied.
Li Tai was also a little surprised when he heard this answer. He soon realized that Han Guo’s situation was probably normal, and the powerful military leaders he had contacted before, including himself, were mostly a different person in the world.
Although there are many powerful military leaders in the troubled times, there are still the most general talents with no surprising origins or situations.
For example, Han Guo was recruited by Hebayue as a tent because of his young and bravery. There were probably not many tribes, and his power was far less than that of the rich chiefs such as Yuwen Tai and Dugu Xin who already had many tribes.
Perhaps he had accumulated a group of soldiers and slaves after years of fighting in Guanzhong, but a war in the nine years of Datong will inevitably lead to heavy casualties.
Li Tai saw many village heroes and generals who often had hundreds or thousands of tribes, and subconsciously thought that Han Guo had been in trouble for so many years, at least he had to have thousands of private soldiers.To be honest, this idea is a bit of a bit less meat-eating.
In fact, it is very difficult to maintain a considerable private army for a long time. And not everyone has a firm Lu Zhiyao like Li Tai. Like Jihe, he is happy to arrange his troops into the six armies, which not only arranges an official position for his subordinates, but also enhances his influence in the army.
Some town generals who have not obtained local officials for a long time have no way to interfere in the allocation of local resources and have to scatter their troops into prefectures and counties to become residents of households. Only by scattering households and equalizing land can the troops be supported.
Since Han Guo had no followers, the group continued to set off. Li Tai arranged for Han Guo to join his own personal soldiers and asked about the latest situation in Hedong on the way.
Han Guo was the former governor of Hedong County and was transferred from Hedong recently. He naturally knew the situation there. When he talked about this issue, he was not very optimistic. He sighed: “He was shocked to hear that the East was coming, and the people were afraid of the feelings and escape became a trend. Most households wandered around the inner and western Henan areas. There were less than two or three of them who could stay in the village…”
The destruction of people’s livelihood by the war is undoubtedly huge, and avoiding disasters is a human instinct. However, after Han Guo said that the war has not officially begun and the territory of Hedong is already so chaotic. It is hard to say whether it is deliberately done.
The Hedong forces defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, naturally not because Yuwen Tai was good-looking, but on the one hand it was because of the appeal of the legal system of the Yuan and Wei Dynasty, and on the other hand it was based on the consideration of local interests.
As for the Hedong River flows that Li Tai came into contact with, such as Liu Min, Xue Shen, etc., although they were ministers of the Bafu, their inner considerations of the local interests were still ahead of the Bafu’s interests. Wu
Like Liu Min was deported to the hometown after causing trouble with Li Tai. While recruiting the village soldiers, she was also responsible for the implementation of the salt induced system. This matter was not going well. Although Hedong salt was imported into Guanxi and coordinated through salt induced, it was still uncontrolled in other places.
Although this is also related to the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty, it also reflects that the Bafu still has very limited ability to control the powerful people in Hedong who control salt and profit. This is just a small dispute over interests. If it rises to a higher level, it will undoubtedly make the cost of trust higher.
The war is imminent, and Han Guo, the prefect who had been in the town for several years, was recalled by the Ba Mansion and transferred elsewhere. No matter what measurement the Ba Mansion has, the message conveyed by this matter itself is a bit intriguing.
If more Hedong population can be introduced into the pass through the military pressure of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it will not only directly strengthen the Bafu itself, but also correspondingly weaken the local power of these Hedong tyrants, thereby strengthening control over Hedong.
But now Li Tai has no time to do Hedong BaiThe fate of the surname was long-lasting and accelerated the journey along Luoshui.
As a long-time general in Wuchuan, Han Guo is also familiar with military affairs. What amazed Li Tai the most is that this person has a deep memory of the geographical environment.
Because he had gone through Luoshui before, he could know the mountains, rivers and terrain along the way. Even if several years have passed, he could still know the bridges and roads, which was like a human navigation. Ye
However, since the Luoshui coast has improved greatly under the management of Li Tai in recent years, Han Guo always made many mistakes, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time he couldn’t help but say to Li Tai with admiration: “No wonder the master wanted to give great use to Li Kaifu. In the past years, all the civil and military people in this village were mostly mediocre, and it was difficult to spread the blessings in the middle of the ranks. Li Kaifu managed the desert and became a city, and the people’s livelihood was prosperous, which was really amazing!”
Li Tai did not dare to boast about what kind of capable minister he was in governing the world, but it also depends on who he was. Compared with these incompetent Beizhen warriors who were keen on destruction and construction, he was really versatile.
Just the changes in the scenery in the lower reaches of the Luo River have already amazed and dazzled Han Guo. When they actually entered northern Shaanxi, Han Guo could not help but widen his eyes when he saw the Luochuan Fangcheng, which Li Tai focused on, and asked in disbelief: “A such a majestic city, is it really the development of Li Kai Mansion in the short year?”
