Chapter 310 You defect to me, you have a future, and you can survive
Isn’t it just to save your life?
Li Tianqu complained in his heart, but he could understand the reason why Gao Sijihui was so angry. He was polite before, but he didn't plan to change his family to recognize his master after all. As a result, when Li Keyong spoke, he had to move south with his family. Even Liu Rengong seemed to agree that he had moved from his hometown... Gao Siji's identity was originally in the Hedong Army, and Lu Long Army was mixed, and he had to be ordered by third parties, let alone seek his opinions. Who would be happy?
Li Tianqu still had a gentle smile on his face, and he replied to Gao Siji, who looked depressed:
"I have always respected the general, so how could I be slight? But I do have the intention of cherishing my talents, and the general was ordered to come and help, but why did King Jin and Liu Jieshuai easily accept the reason... Have General Gao thought about it?"
Gao Siji was originally angry at Li Keyong's domineering attitude towards his whole family, but he also realized that the more the relationship with the Hedong Army became, the more dangerous his situation was... As for Liu Rengong, the governor who was supported by Li Keyong, they were originally both generals belonging to Lu Long's army, and the Gao clan had prestige in Yan land. On the contrary, Liu Rengong was disgusted by Li Kuanwei, the current in charge of Lu Long's army, and of course he was extremely suspicious and afraid of the former generals of the Gao family of Lu Long's army.
Therefore, the two monarchs who nominally obeyed the orders, one forced him to leave, and the other didn't want him to stay. Even though Gao Siji didn't want to come, he had to come.
Now that he heard Li Tianqu’s question, Gao Siji’s expression changed. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly smiled miserably:
"It's a pity that Gao and several brothers joined the army, determined to make achievements and glorify their families, but they were not allowed to appreciate and use them, so they had to become a disciple in this way..."
Li Tianqu shook his head when he heard this and said:
"I think that because the Lu Long Army had changed its ruler before, General Gao's family had to be in a dilemma. King Jin from Hedong was a hero, but he was rebellious and difficult to violate, but the general was also upright. If this lasts, Yan Yunya soldiers in Hedong were originally unruly and did not belong to each other. After all, King Jin was the king and general was the minister. If the king's suspicion of his ministers deepened, it would not be resolved... General Gao thought, what would happen to you and your family in the long run?
Liu Rengong, Lu Long's army, was not highly valued by the former governor Li Kuanwei, but the general was the general of Lu Long's army. Even if Liu Rengong was supported by King Jin to succeed to the throne, and General Gao returned to his old place, this was a great success in Liu Rengong and the former subordinates of Lu Long's army. The general's family background was controlled by the monarchs of both sides, and was guarded while being suspicious... If this continues, how could it be a long-term solution?"
Li Tianqu was very good at temptation, and Gao Jisi's expression became more and more serious, and there was a look of worry and panic between his eyebrows. Li Tianqu struck while the iron was hot and then said:
"As the saying goes, if the tree is moved to death, and the person is moved to live, if the general stays in his hometown, don't say that there will be no chance to make progress in the future, but I'm afraid... it will become more and more dangerous. If I can get General Gao's help, how can I treat each other with a treasure?
And I will make it frankly that the general will join our army, and the situation does not have to be controlled by the situation of the monarchs of both sides when the Lulong army changed its lords. Then I have no reason to be suspicious of you. In this way, not only does our army need the general's full help, but in my opinion, if the general wants to seek a better future and take care of his family Xiao Ansheng... I am my own decision, and I hope the general will not blame him."
After saying this, Gao Siji immediately saluted Li Tianqu again after hearing this, and his behavior became much more respectful than before:
"How dare you! I heard that the general of Jieshou... After hearing what the emperor said, it was like a clear cloud to see the sun. The general of the Ming Dynasty was reckless and offended him. I hope that the general of the Ming Dynasty would understand him! The general of the family was small and he had to rely on the kindness and care of the Ming Dynasty. Such a great kindness, the general of the Ming Dynasty and his brothers would also do their best to protect the kindness of the Ming Dynasty!"
Since Li Keyong has sent you over, if you can't convince you that Gao Siji will change his mind and be willing to serve you, then the verbal skills I have been recruiting civil and military talents over the years will be in vain...
Li Tianqu muttered in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Siji up, and then encouraged and comforted him. In addition to Gao Siji, the other three brothers Gao Sixiang, Gao Silun and Gao Sixu looked at each other. Seeing that their brothers were willing to work for Li Tianqu, they became very respectful to the lord who had no choice but to turn over to serve.
Then Li Tianqu ordered his staff and clerks to choose a residence in the city for Gao Siji's family. He met the relatives and families of the Gao family who came to visit one after another. Among them, there was a young man who seemed to be almost as old as a military officer to protect himself. He respectfully bowed. Li Tianqu also comforted him a few words, and thought to himself:
Gao Siji's nephew Gao Xinggui, according to history, after his uncles were killed by Li Keyong, his troops were all incorporated by Liu Rengong, and he served as a cavalry general, and Xiaoguo was the right of the generals, and later surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. However, although this boy was brave and good at fighting, he was not good at governing the country, he was even more greedy and obscene... Now Gao Siji and other brothers were not killed because of their anger and fear of Li Keyong. Gao Xinggui had several uncles and his generations who were timid. I don't know if his greedy temperament would be restrained in the future...
Li Tianqu turned his head again and saw another young man in the Gao family who was only about ten years old bowing to him and saying, "Gao Xingzhou pays homage to the coach of Jie"...
Although the son of the white horse and silver spear was full of childishness, his facial features were sitting upright and handsome, and his big black eyes were flashing. Seeing that although Gao Xingzhou was still in his childhood, Li Tianqu knew that he would have been through the five dynasties of Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou dynasties, and was deeply loved by four of them. He had great achievements and was unquestionable. He even lived until the Five Dynasties, who were respected when Guo Wei, the Taizu of Later Zhou. Although he encouraged Gao Xingzhou as an elder, Li Tianqu thought in his heart:
Now I need your father and uncle to make achievements for me, but my children and grandchildren also need your help in the future...

Zhu Wen used the boldly sent troops to occupy the Yicheng army, which was originally controlled by Li Tianqu, which did have immediate results. Luo Hongxin, the Wei Bo army who cooperated with the Liang army to attack Yicheng army, and even Wang Rong, the governor of the Chengde Army in the north, immediately claimed that his power belonged to Zhu Wen and became two subordinate allies of the Liang army.
The loss of two prefectures and ten counties of Yicheng Army was not a major setback for Li Tianqu, but this made the strategic situation of Li Keyong in the Jin army much more passive. After all, Zhu Wen was in charge of the Liang army with the support of Wei Bo and Chengde Army, and he could have sent troops to cross the Yellow River and fight directly with the Hedong Army.
What's more, the Hezhong army's vassal states were under the control of Zhu Wen. Li Keyong's previous mobilization of troops ended up in a miserable defeat and lost his parents and children. He had to fight to the west, but in the Hezhong vassal states, the Liang army could also lead the troops to enter the vassal states controlled by the Jin army such as Hedong and Zhaoyi. If Li Keyong wanted to fight to the east... At this time, he had to face the three hostile forces of Liang, Zhu Wen, Wei Bo army, Luo Hongxin, and Wang Rong, the German army.
Regarding the loss of the Yicheng Army's vassal state, Li Keyong would certainly scold Li Tianqu for being confused, but he would have been easily taken over by Zhu Wen's thief. However, Zhu Wen's fox suddenly attacked Li Tianqu, who was not hostile to him, and suddenly sent troops, which was beyond Li Keyong's expectations. The enemy still had 100,000 troops, and even cooperated with the Wei Bo army to attack the two states in the strategic situation. Li Keyong asked himself that it was difficult to defend himself, and it was very likely that he would be taken down by Zhu Wen's quick attack.
