Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Tai's expression improved slightly after hearing this. He first waved his hand to signal He Ruoden to stand up, and then said: "There are many barbarians in Jinzhou, Shannan and other places who wander out of the mountains and wander around the Han River, causing great disturbance to the upper reaches. An Ning needs a general to go..."

After He Ruodun heard this, he quickly bowed and said: "Master Lang, please feel free to leave this matter to your servant. I only need a thousand horses to swim along the water, but there are thieves who dare to cause chaos, and I will not spare them!"

Li Tai was interrupted before he finished speaking, and he immediately frowned in displeasure. Upon seeing this, He Ruoden laughed dryly, and lowered his head in a hurry, not daring to say another word, for fear of offending Master Lang and giving up. this appointment.

Because of his experience working under Duke Duguxin of Hanoi in the past years, He Ruodun believed that he was now senior under General Li, especially as he was a disciple of the sect master who had a closer relationship than his superiors and subordinates, and he believed that his abilities were also equal to those of his disciples. Among the best.

But now people like Zhu Meng, Liang Shiyan, and even Li Yunxin are already guarding one side. After he led his army to Wuning last year, he has no other appointments. Compared with others, he is already far behind.

He Ruodun did not dare to blame Master Lang. He only blamed himself for his bad luck. He was selected by Daxingtai to be recalled to the Zhongwai Mansion. In the end, it was in vain and he missed the battles during Master Lang's second campaign across Heluo. Now he only hopes that he can He won meritorious service in the war against Nanliang and obtained a position that matched his abilities, so he valued every opportunity.

"The situation in Shannan is delicate and must be handled with caution. It is not as simple as using violence to control chaos!"

Li Tai frowned and patiently explained the key points. He needed to strengthen his control over Shannan and Hanzhong in the name of suppressing chaos, but he could not fight too roughly and indiscriminately. He had to cooperate with rhythmic suppression. If the method is too rough, some forces that did not intend to cause chaos will be stirred up, and the war will continue endlessly, it will inevitably affect the war against Shuzhong.

He Ruoden listened carefully and nodded repeatedly while listening, indicating that he had memorized everything, and after Li Tai finished speaking, he summarized and repeated several key points of the action.

After listening to He Ruoden's retelling, Li Tai showed a satisfied look on his face again. Although this guy talks nonsense, he just has low emotional intelligence and is not stupid. Putting aside the interpersonal relationship, he can usually complete the tasks assigned to him with excellence.

Both the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and the General Manager's Office were not short of generals, so He Ruoden's shortcomings of gossip were highlighted. However, in Xiangyang, where there was an extreme shortage of military generals, Liang Wang Xiao Qing still remembered He Ruodun. The soldiers and people in Xiangyang City also talked about He Ruodun's heroic deeds in killing Liu Zhongli.

"Now that the stakes are clear, let's lead our troops to Xingzhou to wait and prepare for war. As long as we can ensure that Shannan and Hanzhong become stable, you will have room to use your troops when planning for Shuzhong in the coming year!"

Seeing that He Ruodun's attitude was acceptable, Li Tai smiled and made him a promise.

After He Ruoden heard this, his eyes widened with surprise on his face: "Master Lang, Master Lang is planning to let his servants lead his troops to attack Shuzhong? This, this is really surprising, but Master Lang, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to this great love!”

After hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but tremble at the corner of his mouth, I want you to be the general to conquer Shu, but you have to help me get rid of Daxantai first, otherwise our words are useless!

However, seeing He Ruoden's happy face, he didn't say it too clearly. If that didn't work, then he would try to get a spot as a deputy general in the expedition to Shu. Even though this guy He Ruoden has shortcomings, he has one advantage that no one else can compare with, and that is that he is not afraid of being poached by others. This passive and loyal BUFF is very real.

Li Qianzhe's judgment of the situation was relatively accurate. Not long after Li Tai sent He Ruodun, a barbarian rebellion suddenly broke out in Zhizhou on the western border of Ankang. The rebellion soon gathered tens of thousands of people, and quickly spread along the Han River. Spreading to the left and right.

Some barbarian tribes in Jinzhou who had surrendered to the Ankang Li family also took advantage of the situation and revolted. Li Xian's so-called "loyalty" before came to join the Jin Dynasty, but they met with each other in war. It seems that this loyalty is not too deep, and it basically belongs to your greed for other tribes. Qu, he is greedy for your gold mine. The reputation of the Ankang Li family as a wealthy family spread far and wide, so after the rebellion, many barbarians soon came to kill their clan territory.

Fortunately, Li Xianxian received a reminder from his brother. On the one hand, he mobilized his elite troops to guard the family property, and on the other hand, he cleared the roads along the Han River in the east in advance.

Especially the latter arrangement played a huge role in the following. He Ruodun led 5,000 cavalry to march westward without being hindered. He successfully arrived in Ankang and quickly defeated the barbarian rebels gathered here, making The Ankang Li family did not suffer much loss in this chaos.

Li Xian secretly thought that he was lucky, but he also fully cooperated with the General Manager's Office, trying his best to assist Cui Yansheng and other members of the General Manager's Office to collect the defeated barbarians and send them to Xingzhou, where a vast logging field was waiting for them.

After suppressing the rebellion in Ankang, He Ruodun did not stay any longer. Instead, he continued to lead his army westward according to General Li's instructions, suppressing the rebellion while advancing toward Hanzhong.

When he arrived outside Nanzheng City, Cui You, the newly appointed governor of Liangzhou by the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office, also happened to take office. Soldiers from both sides gathered together to sweep away the barbarian troops outside Nanzheng City and then officially entered the city to take over. Take up a new position.

Next, under the dispatch and command of Cui You, He Ruoden and other people attacked separately, killing or pacifying the die-hard elements in the barbarian rebellion. The rebellion, which had the potential to spread and corrupt, was gradually controlled.

Just as the battle in Shannan and Hanzhong was in full swing to calm down the chaos, Li Qianzhe had also entered Bashu territory again.

The area at the southern foot of Daba Mountain is called Dangqu, including Langzhong in Brazil to the west. It was originally the activity range of the Tibetan people. However, some of the Jin tribes died out, and some merged with other tribes. Nowadays, it is rare to see pure tribes of Jin people.

The big families in Brazil previously jointly built a city as a trading place. The Sugar City is located among the mountains and fields to the north of Danqu. This location was also chosen by Li Qianzhe. It was originally a stronghold for his family's trade with the Shu people. It is located in Between the mountains, it is a compromise between transportation, storage and military defense.

The city itself is not large in scale, so the thousands of troops brought by Li Qianzhe can only be temporarily stationed in the valley behind the city. There are also hundreds of troops stationed in the city, and there are several barbarian tribes nearby who are very obedient to the Ankang Li family, so the defense force is also very impressive.

When Li Qianzhe returned to the city, representatives of the big families in Brazil who had stayed here had heard the news and came over. They wanted to ask how much supplies Li Qianzhe had brought back this time, so that they could order the clan to mobilize the goods as soon as possible. to complete the transaction.

Seeing that these people were much more eager than before, Li Qianzhe couldn't help but feel happy. He naturally knew what was going on, so he was not in a hurry to make the transaction. He just smiled and said: "I'm not in a rush for this transaction. I heard that Has the Jinhuo market changed?”

"Does Marquis Li also know about this?"

Li Qianzhe used to have a marquis in Nanliang, so the Shu people still called him this name. When Li Qianzhe said this, everyone showed their expressions of indignation: "The Qiang and Wei people are really bullying others! They think they are strong. , deceived me about my illness and poverty, and even lowered the market price by ten times to forcefully buy the goods..."

Shu brocade is the most important foreign trade industry in Shu, and it is also the pride of Shu people. Now the Western Wei Dynasty is taking advantage of the unstable situation in Shu to buy goods in Shu. It is called trading, but it is actually extortion. This kind of forced price reduction not only deprives Shu brocade of its Profits deeply hurt the feelings of the Shu people.

Li Qianzhe listened quietly to everyone's curses and was not in a hurry to express his opinions.

After everyone vented their feelings, there was no practical way to reverse the situation. Seeing that Li Qianzhe was just silent, they said with some uneasiness: "Li Hou often comes in and out of here, and he has many friendships with people from Bashu like me. , should be well aware of the market price, and will never be like the Wei people..."
