Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

The North Town warriors headed by Yu Wentai were able to gain a foothold in Kansai. In addition to various contests between forces and the evolution of the situation, there were two important moral supports.

The first is that they put down the Wanqi Chou Nu rebellion that had lasted for many years in Kansai and made the people miserable, so that Kansai regained order and people's livelihood gradually recovered.

The second is that under the leadership of Yuwen Taibafu, they defeated the Eastern Wei army led by Gao Huan several times from attacking Guanzhong. Although this is also a major matter related to the survival of their own power, objectively it also ensures the tranquility of Guanzhong.

Especially the latter laid the foundation of public opinion for Yuwentai Bafu to govern in Kansai. When the emperor was already a puppet and the imperial court was in vain, the recovery and development of people's livelihood in Kansai was entirely due to the governance of Yuwen Taiba Mansion.

Of course, in these ancient times of chaos, the so-called public opinion had little impact on the rise and fall of a military regime. However, the public opinion in Kansai is the basis for the Chinese and foreign government to build the military force of the government. It is precisely because the Bafu has good governance skills that many Guanlong heroes are willing to accept the reorganization and leadership of the Bafu.

Yuwentai has also been working on internal harmony over the years. The establishment of Fu Bing means that Ba Fu and Guan Longhao have established a stable tacit understanding and subordinate relationship. However, recent events south of Wuguan have cast a shadow over this internally harmonious situation and added various dangerous variables.

Since the Bafu dispatched as many as 60,000 troops to the southeast this time, it was the largest military operation since the establishment of the government's military system, second only to Yuwentai's Eastern Expedition. Therefore, it was difficult to conceal such a big change. It soon spread in Guanzhong.

However, due to the conflict between the Jingzhou Military Government and the Chinese and Foreign Governments, it had been kept secret until then. Even when Li Boshan returned to China at the beginning of the year, he was still trying hard to win the title of king for Yu Wentai, acting as a confidant of the Chinese and Foreign Governments.

Therefore, even though something like this happened, the vast majority of the people in Guanzhong have not regarded this as a sign that Li Boshan has betrayed the Chinese and Foreign Government, but only as an outbreak of personal conflicts between him and individual generals in the Southern Expedition Army.

Of course, some people at the core of power knew very well that Li Boshan and the Jingzhou Military Mansion behind him were completely out of control. He was able to seize control of a total of 60,000 troops so easily. In addition to his far-reaching planning and ingenious arrangements, as well as the strong military strength of the Jingzhou Military Mansion itself, these soldiers must also have his insiders.

Yu Wentai had also imagined what would happen if things didn't go smoothly, but he still underestimated Li Tai's fierce and decisive counterattack. He didn't expect to lose so quickly and completely, so from the incident to now, He basically has no backup plan.

He just sent an elite team to Wuguan as soon as possible after getting the news, and tightly monitored all the personnel in the past. Especially the subsequent changes in the development of the situation must not spread before he knows it.

The old soldiers from Kansai, mainly composed of the soldiers from Beizhen, can be said to be the most elite and reliable force under the Bafu. However, after all the battles, these old soldiers from Guanxi also suffered heavy casualties, and were far less powerful than the old guys from the six towns in Jinyang.

Especially after the Battle of Mangshan, Bafu pursued the strategy of recruiting Guanlong chiefs into the army, and Yuwentai rarely emphasized the existence of these veterans. Except for some old soldiers who were retained in the form of private armies of generals, the others were basically broken up and incorporated into the armies.

But something like this happened in the southeast. If Yuwentai wanted to master a loyal, pure and brave armed force as soon as possible, these veterans were one of his few choices. And the characteristics and means to quickly identify them and inspire their sense of honor are also obvious, that is, the Shayuan soldiers!

Since these veterans have already served as commanders and generals in the various armies of the Fubing, a major feature of the Fubing organization is that all the soldiers they supervise take the surname of the general.

So a few days later, the number of people gathered in the sand garden waiting for the banquet and review reached more than 20,000, and this was only the people stationed in Tongzhou and Kinki. Others who went to the south of Wuguan and guarded the river were still not there. Summoned.

However, more than 20,000 troops are not a mobile force that can go to distant places at will. They can only be stationed in Guanzhong to wait for changes. As for some of the powerful governors of Guanlong, they have recently been assigned to river defense in batches.

Today's Yu Wentai is not sure how deeply Li Boshan has penetrated Bafu's personnel, and how many powerful people in Guanzhong are willing to serve as his ears, eyes and minions, so he is wary of those powerful people. You can't trust these people no matter where you appoint them, but you can trust them only in river defense, because once they neglect river defense and mess up their positions, allowing the Northern Qi troops to break through the river defense, their hometown will immediately be devastated!

When these Shayuan veterans gathered one after another, another bad news also came from the south of Wuguan: a riot broke out in Mianbei, and Yuchi Jiong, who stayed behind, died at the hands of the rioters!

"My poor brother..."

Yuchigang, who had just escorted the emperor to Shayuan, burst into tears when he learned the news. He cried sadly and said loudly: "Uncle, let me lead the troops south! Let me kill Li Boshan." The ambitious thief, avenge my brother!"

Yu Wentai could still maintain a certain calmness and calmness at first, but when he learned the news of Yu Chijiong's death, he was filled with grief and the wrinkles on his face became more serious.

"It's not the time, it's not the time yet! The people in Guanzhong have not yet thought that Li Boshan is the one who committed the crime. If I rush to attack him, the matter will be revealed to the public. The southeast is not settled, and Guanzhong will also be uneasy!"

Yu Wentai suppressed the grief in his heart, patted the sobbing Yu Chigang on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Although Li Boshan is hateful, what he did is worthy of your imitation. Although he captured the army, he did not He did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack Wuguan because he knew that he was in the wrong. If things went wrong in the future, his sinister actions would no longer be covered up.

For me, the most important thing is not to seek revenge, but to consolidate myself. Taifu Li made a plan with me. Douluning will be the successor of the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva will lead the Long Master Brigade back to Guanzhong. First of all, I will consolidate my foundation. With him staying in Tongzhou, I will have no worries and personally lead the army to the south to conquer! "

"Then I'll go to Wuxiang and capture Li Boshan's parents and relatives!"

Hearing what Yu Wentai said, although Yu Chigang was filled with grief, he could only suppress his hatred for the time being, and then stared again and said.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai shook his head: "The development of the current situation does not depend on the orphans, widows, old and weak in the village. I have ordered Chengxian to go to the village prison to guard his family and relatives. Human affairs here are more important. Now, you are the only one available. …”

Speaking of this, Yuwentai suddenly felt a sore nose again. Originally, their family was prosperous with many relatives and friends, but during the Six Towns Mutiny, his father and brother died violently. Yuwentai was only the youngest in the family, but in the end he became the only pillar. Seeing that his nephews and nephews gradually became able to take charge, But they all suffered disasters, which made him feel unbearable grief.

He did not allow Yuchigang to go to the countryside to capture Li Boshan's relatives because he was worried that Yuchigang would do something extreme in his grief and anger. It would be best if Li Boshan's rebellion could be resolved smoothly, but if not, he would have to consider negotiating with each other. The deceased was already dead, and he also had to consider the possibility of the return of the living, so it was not advisable to do nothing for the time being.

A few days later, more and more people gathered on the old battlefield of Shayuan, and Yuwentai also accompanied the emperor to give a feast to the soldiers in the Longevity Hall, recalling the difficult situation and glorious victory in the battle of Shayuan in the past year, These generals who had personally experienced the war were also lamenting.

Generals such as Li Bi and Da Xiwu who performed special feats in the Battle of Shayuan were greatly praised. Their respective ranks were further improved and they were awarded to one of their sons. As for the participating generals, they were also given a level of life, and even rare physical rewards such as silk were given. For a time, the entire sand garden was filled with an exciting feeling that soldiers would die for their confidants.

This feasting party lasted for a full ten days, and combined with the previous preparation time, nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the time soon came to mid-November.

Just when Yu Wentai felt that the atmosphere was good and he could make personnel arrangements for the next stage, new news came from Wuguan: the army led by Li Boshan successfully captured Jiangling City and captured Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang alive in the city and captured Nan Liang. Civil and military officials!
