Although Li Tai knew that Yueyang King was not accurate in his judgment of the situation and had a bit of random thoughts, it was because of these random thoughts that made him nervous and sensitive, and he also doubted and examined their cooperative relationship.
“The troops stationed in Jingzhen are not enough to respond, so it is really difficult to continue to use this. But since the king is telling me about his worries, I must not turn a blind eye or stand by. Although there is no soldier, I don’t know if the king needs a war horse?”
After thinking about it, Li Tai said again.
Liang Shiyan’s report on the situation of carefully deploying defenses with the rich people in the area also made Li Tai feel the deep barriers between the north and the south. If he wanted to rely entirely on war to carry out violent conquest, both the cost of conquest and the consumption of war would be very huge. An unfortunate event may even backfire and not worth the loss.
Therefore, the value of a surrender faction like the King of Yueyang is reflected. If it can be properly utilized, it can greatly eliminate the hostility and resistance of the people in the land of Nanliang, greatly reduce the cost of conquest, and retain regional vitality. The men have all surrendered. What are you, the leaders of Guizhou who don’t even have a three-foot burial place to resist?
King Yueyang’s condition is obviously a little wrong now. Even a close ally like Li Tai who is heart-wrenching about him is suspicious and tentative. He probably imagined that Liu Zhongli led his troops back and captured him without any effort to send him to Jiankang.
Putting aside other things, it can be seen that Liu Zhongli was really awesome in the Southern Dynasty. No wonder Jiankang was able to be the leader of the coalition forces.
After realizing that Xiao Xun was under too much psychological pressure, Li Tai cheered him up with practical actions: Don’t scare yourself anymore, if I support you, we will definitely not be able to collapse in this game!
When Xiao Xu heard Li Tai say this, he smiled again, and then said, “There is a smooth road between Xiangyang and Jiangling. If you have the help of Boshan and form a cavalry, I will be more worried about advance and retreat, so why not be afraid…”
Li Tai couldn’t help but feel happy after hearing this. It’s hard to say who is right or wrong in your family’s complex interpersonal relationships. No wonder your seventh uncle is not in a hurry to go Jiankang. He is trying to kill you two brothers. Just looking at the third uncle and pointing his knife at Uncle Qi, if I were Xiao Laoqi, I would probably have to kill you first!
So Li Tai agreed to a time to allocate three hundred Longyou horses to Xiao Xu for his use. It’s not that he is stingy. Such a group of war horses are already very valuable, and he is not as generous as he can give it to others at will. Moreover, good horses also need to pick people. If you don’t even meet the basic riding and shooting skills, no matter how many good horses you give him, it will be useless.
In order to prevent Xiao Feng from wasting this war horse, Li Tai also caringly provided dozens of grooms who were raised and trained, and asked him if he needed a cavalry and planned to send He Ruodun out for a while.
Xiao Xu gotAfter this funding, I was in a good mood. When I heard that there were supporting personnel, my smile became even more joyful. I nodded and agreed with a smile, and said that I would definitely treat these personnel more. I had no idea what kind of existence Li Tai was going to send.
In fact, Xiao Xun was not sure that his situation has improved a lot compared to the same period in history. Not to mention the huge amount of money and resources accumulated over the period of cooperation with Li Tai, his Xiangyang team itself has been purified by Li Tai, and unstable factors such as Liu Fanggui and Du An brothers have been removed in advance.
However, it is probably because of this that Xiao Xu felt that there were no people under his command. Although he had many disciples, most of them were fierce heroes, and few generals who could lead the army to fight, so he was so concerned about the generals who were envoyed by Li Tai.
When Li Tainan comes, of course he can’t just comfort and help King Yitong of Yueyang. Since this guy has taken his benefits, he naturally has to play his worth.
So when these things were finished, he spoke again, “Actually, I have been upset recently, but I don’t know if I should tell the king…”
“What else can I say between me and Boshan? If you have helped me a lot, I will of course do my best to help you be happy and worry-free!”
King Yueyang immediately patted his chest and promised, looking as if he was impatient to repay Li Tai.
Li Tai was no longer polite when he saw this. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, “This is the thing. Hou Jing is in trouble in Huainan and now crossing the river to the south again. It will inevitably cause surprise and people to be insecured. Liu Zhongli was in charge before, and I also adhered to the plan of peace and harmony between the two ministers and borders as the first step, and there was no way to advance to question.
But now Liu Zhongli commanded the army and left the country to go east, and the scholars and people in the area were frightened and suspicious. There are many people who were afraid that I would go south and kill, and surrender first. Alas, I had no plan to plunder the south, so how could I take advantage of your country’s disaster? But I was trapped in being unable to defend myself, and could not refuse these people who came to surrender…”
