Chapter 518 Even more powerful than a tiger

The atmosphere in Tongguan City was dull and depressing, and the people inside and outside did not dare to speak loudly, which gave people a sense of tension and solemnity about the purpose of the road.

Yu Jin walked quickly in the military mansion, and soon came to the door of a hall in the mansion. He asked the guards standing outside to come in. When he was allowed to enter, he lowered his head and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li has led his troops to the pass, and the generals are kowtow in front of the mansion to apologize."

Yu Jin glanced secretly at the hall, then lowered his head and reported.

Yu Wentai was lying on his side in the banquet in the hall, looking a little haggard. After hearing this, he nodded and said in a low voice: "Invite Lieutenant Li in."

After Yu Jin heard the words, he took the order and left. Except for some waiters, Yu Wentai was the only one left in the hall.

A few days ago, he ambitiously led his troops eastward out of Tongguan, but before arriving at Hengnon, news came that the front line was defeated and both Heyang and Heyang were lost. This directly made Yu Wentai so angry that his eyes were filled with stars, and he almost lost his breath. With great difficulty, he managed to control his emotions and led his troops to retreat to Tongguan. Then he fell ill due to anger.

After Yu Jin left, he quickly introduced Li Bi, along with the dejected Zhao Gui and Yu Wenhu. Knowing that the Lord only wanted to see Li Bi, but these two people insisted on accompanying him, Yu Jin could not stop them. He only stopped them when they got outside the hall and only invited Li Bi in to see them.

"The sinful minister bows to the Lord and has betrayed the Lord..."

When Li Bi entered the hall and saw Daxingtai's attitude, he was also shocked. He hurriedly knelt down to worship and confessed his mistake.

Yu Wentai had already sat up, raised his hand to slap the table, interrupted Li Bi's words, and said a little weakly: "I know that this war crime does not lie with the Taiwei, so I will excuse myself first, and then describe the battle in detail. "

After hearing this, Li Bi stood up, but he was too embarrassed to sit down and stood in the hall with his hands down, and recounted the story of the war.

"Alas, the situation is dangerous and changing rapidly! It is clear that the advantage lies with me and Hebei, but it has suddenly been reversed. It is heartbreaking and regrettable..."

After hearing this, Yu Wentai raised his hands to cover his face and rubbed his face violently, sighing and saying with regrets beyond words.

After Li Bi saw this, he hurriedly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Hu Lujin, the general of the northern town of Heyang, is an old, stubborn and stubborn person among thieves, who knows soldiers well and is good at planning..."

boom!

It's okay if he didn't say it. As soon as he started arguing, Yu Wentai's face suddenly changed. He immediately slapped his hand heavily on the case and said angrily: "Don't let the common sayings deceive me! Today, Hu Lujin is an old traitor." Stubborn, could it be that Hu Lujin was a stupid child the other day? He is capable and incompetent, and he has all the eyes to see! How can I blame myself for my misunderstanding and miscalculation, so how can I shirk the blame for this scoundrel who is causing trouble to the country?"

Seeing Da Xingtai being so angry, Li Bi quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth. This time, Daxingtai did not place the main responsibility on him, which was quite a blessing for him. Naturally, he did not dare to make Daxingtai angry with him again just to defend the two pig teammates.

The hall fell into silence for a while. After a while, Yu Jin finally said bravely: "Nanyang Gong and Zhongshan Gong are outside the hall..."

"Is Tongguan like the cities on the front line, allowing thieves to come and go at will?"

At this moment, Yu Wentai seemed to be quite disowning his relatives. After hearing this, he glared at Yu Jin fiercely, and then said angrily: "I imprison these two prisoners on the fence, I don't want to see them!"

He didn't want to see these two people. In addition to being angry and full of resentment towards them, he was also worried that he might not be able to control his emotions after seeing them and directly ordered their execution.

It is not that Yuwentai has never experienced failure, and he even fell into an extremely desperate situation for a time, but his mentality was not as broken as this time.

Because he has been on the weak side since he took power, Gao Huan's reputation is far greater than his, and his power is much stronger than him. It can be said that under Gao Huan's repeated offensives, the existence of his power is something to be proud of, not to mention that he has defeated the strong with the weak.

But now that Gao Huan has passed away, the Eastern Dynasty has encountered such a serious event as Hou Jing's rebellion, which can be said to be in internal and external troubles. The forces of the Western Dynasty were able to re-enter the Heluo area and even achieved results that had never been achieved before. This also made Yuwentai's expectations for this suddenly rise.

In his view, even if he cannot defeat his opponent in one fell swoop, he can at least inflict heavy damage on him, thereby gaining the strategic initiative in the East-West confrontation. He had been suppressed by Gao Huan for half his life, so he would not have to be controlled by his son.

So this time in the Battle of Heqiao, he had a lot of expectations and emotions placed on him, but he never expected that before he even reached the front line, the front line was already a huge defeat, not only losing Heyang In the two cities, almost all the achievements previously achieved in Heluo were lost.

Even though Yu Wentai was mentally tough and became more courageous with every setback, he still couldn't bear such a cruel blow for a while. In addition to the blow to his confidence and emotions, he was also involved in cultivating his nephew, which also made him heartbroken.

After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Li Wansui still controls Jiuqu City. Once the enemy attacks, he may not be able to defend it. If Yiyang is lost again, western Henan will be uneasy again, with unpredictable advances and retreats, and people's hearts will also be If I don’t have it, we should still arrange for reinforcements from divisions and brigades.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jin said: "Jushi cannot be forced to use force. Now the armies have been newly defeated and their morale is low. If they are forced to go to danger again, it will go against the will of everyone and they may be difficult to win. Li Wansui is brave and decisive. , must be able to clearly discern the situation. If it can be defended, then fight bravely. If it is difficult to defend, there is no need to force it. It is a good idea to return to the old town. "

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, Yu Wentai also knew that what Yu Jin said made sense.

Although this defeat was not as tragic as the Battle of Mangshan a few years ago, the blow to morale was also very serious, especially now that the main force of the Bafu Central Army was the sons of Kansai who had been expanded and reorganized in recent years. The experience of the war with the Eastern Dynasty was already Not much, and this defeat hit them particularly hard.

"The children of the Gao family are messing with my mind! If the young men of my family are still in Zhenheyang, how can the young and old gang of thieves have any room for arrogance!"

Full of sorrow, Yuwentai suddenly sighed again, his tone full of regret.

After Li Bi heard this, he couldn't help but said: "If Li Boshan can return to the rescue in time, maybe some of Heluo's previous achievements can be preserved. This man is indeed young and brave, knows soldiers and is good at fighting, and his willpower can surpass the masses. Although There are too many famous generals and elite soldiers.”

After hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed across Yuwentai's brows. If nothing could be saved after all this hard work, it would naturally be an extremely embarrassing and unacceptable situation for him.

Although Li Bi and other generals were driven out of Heluo like fallen leaves by the autumn wind, and Li Tai was alone and the situation was not good, it was very difficult to return reinforcements when the enemy troops gathered in Heluo, but once Thinking that this child could always bring him huge surprises, Yu Wentai couldn't help but look forward to it.

So in the next few days, Yuwentai was not in a hurry to withdraw to Guanzhong, but stayed in Tongguan. He was eager to know the situation on the front line as soon as possible, and he was also preparing for the worst in his heart. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the rebels would be If we advance westward, we can still repel the enemy in front of the city.

However, misfortunes never come singly. Before the news of Jiuqu City in Yiyang arrived, a bad news was reported to Tongguan: Hui Hui, who was ordered to lead the army out of Luyang, Guangzhou, suddenly fell ill and died suddenly in the army.

After Yuwentai learned the news, he was even more sad. However, the situation between Heluo and Heluo was not good now, and he had no time to care about anything else for a while.

Maybe people who are extremely unlucky will always be able to find good times. A few days later, good news finally came from Yiyang: Li Boshan personally led 3,000 elite troops across the mountain to reinforce Jiuqu City. In one night, he uprooted several layers of enemy camps and reached the foot of Jiuqu City. The Yuansuo troops combined forces to defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops in one place, and captured more than 5,000 enemy troops and horses. The thief general Ke Zhu Hunyuan fled in a hurry to Heqiao. Li Boshan then led the crowd to attack Yique and successfully led back the Yichuan army. As a result, the city garrison between Yiluo and Luo was preserved!

"Boshan is indeed brave and reliable, and he lives up to his trust! I have Boshan, and he is more powerful than a tiger!"

Having been tortured by all kinds of negative news for the past few days, Yu Wentai's heart was almost numb. Now he finally heard the exciting good news and almost cried with joy. For a while, he felt that all the depression in his heart was drained out.

Now that the war situation between Heluo and Heluo has stabilized on the Yiyang front line, and the troops from western Henan have successfully returned, Yuwentai's hanging heart has finally settled, and there is no need to stay in Tongguan anymore, so he is preparing to return to Huazhou. Calm the situation in the country.

Before leaving, Yuwentai ordered Li Tai to go to Luyang to lead several Huiling coffins and his troops back to Guanxi.

Happy Father's Day. . .
