Northern Dynasties

Chapter 386
At this time, there were many soldiers outside the large tent of the Chinese army, and there was a dignified and solemn atmosphere, which made people feel nervous and heavy.

When Li Tai and his party arrived, civil and military officials from other places also gathered here, but most of them were blocked outside the camp and were not allowed to enter it at will.

Li Tai was able to enter it unimpeded because of the confidants in Daxing's account leading the way, but Yu Wenhu was stopped.Although the armored soldiers on guard knew him, they did not dare to let him go because there were no armored soldiers in the tent to guide him, which shows the high level of security.

Yu Wenhu's face was not very good-looking, but he also knew that the matter was of great importance at the moment, so he didn't dare to make troubles, so he waved to Li Tai who stopped and waited for him: "Boshan, first enter the account, go to my place to order the guards Since no one is seen, it must be here soon."

Li Tai nodded after hearing the words. He was also eager to know the latest situation, so he took a step ahead.

At this time, nearly 20 people have gathered in the big tent, including Yu Jin, Li Bi and other core generals. Yu Wendao, who was originally guarding the river defense, has also arrived and is sitting by the Daxing platform. , there is quite a sad look between his brows and eyes.

After Li Tai saw this, he didn't step forward to disturb the conversation of the few people. He was planning to find a seat nearby and sit down first. A few Hui who were sitting on the side had already raised their hands to beckon him over.He saw that other people in the tent did not take their seats according to the strict class rank, so he walked to several Hui places and sat down.

"The army of eastern thieves has gathered, and He Liuhun is about to attack again!"

After Li Tai took his seat, a few Hui whispered to him, his tone was also serious, but there was a hint of anticipation.

Li Tai sighed again when he heard Ji Hui's tone. Although the Mangshan War ended with the defeat of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty was not completely powerless during the war, and Ji Hui's troops fought very well , Of course, the loss in the end was quite miserable, and I was somewhat unwilling in my heart.It is normal to have expectations for the two sides to fight again.

But there are only a few people who are in the mood like a few Hui, most of the generals in the tent have an expression as if they are facing a big enemy, and their mood is very dignified and apprehensive.

Li Tai turned his gaze, but he didn't find Zhao Gui in the big tent, and he didn't know whether Yu Wentai didn't inform Zhao Gui, or the old boy deliberately avoided the meeting.After all, if it is really necessary to summarize the gains and losses of the previous battle at the meeting, Daxingtai's face is of course not good-looking, and Zhao Gui is afraid that he will be criticized by the crowd again.

Afterwards, more generals came into the tent one after another. Seeing the atmosphere in the tent, they first found their acquaintances to sit down.After a while, Yuwenhu, who was behind, entered the account with He Lanxiang. He Lanxiang was summoned by Daxingtai, and Yuwenhu looked at him for a long time, and then sat down on the last seat a little unhappy.

When the people had almost arrived, Yu Wentai raised his hand to signal the guards to put down the tent, then looked around at the people in the tent, and immediately said: "He Liuhun, the thief from the east, summoned the gang of thieves, and will come to the west to provoke. Today, everyone is called This is to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy."

He first named the topic of the meeting, and then Director Yu Wen stood up and recounted the news in detail: "In the middle of the Eastern Bandit Moon, he announced his transfer order in Jinyang, and He Liuhun went to Yecheng at the same time, suspected of taking soldiers from Hebei. ..."

In addition to Yu Wendao's oral narration, there were also guards who passed the information compiled into documents to various seats in the tent. Some generals raised their hands to receive them, while others waved their hands away.

Li Tai also took over a copy of the information and found that the records of the military situation in the Eastern Wei Dynasty were quite detailed, and even the summoning order received by his military prefecture in a few days was recorded very clearly, as if there was an eyeliner in Jin Dynasty all the time. Yang watched the movement of the Eastern Wei Dynasty around.

If intelligence work can be done so well, it can only be done by Wei Xiaokuan, the Jade God of War.

As the leading military talent in Kansai at the moment, Wei Xiaokuan's talent is not limited to defending the city, he is also very skilled in other tricks.It is by no means difficult for the Eastern Wei Dynasty to inquire about such a large-scale military conquest.

Therefore, the key positions must be complemented by key people. Wei Xiaokuan just replaced Wang Sizheng as the governor of Bingzhou a few days ago, but he was an important member of the border defense line as early as the construction of Yubi City, and he was in the ninth year of Datong. When Wang Sizheng moved to Hengnong during the Battle of Mangshan, he took over the overall defense of Yubi City, and had been operating there for several years.

While flipping through the relevant information, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was a long time after the Battle of Mangshan that the Western Wei Dynasty received the news of the tragic death of He Basheng's sons. The fact that he has collected detailed information shows the efficiency of the intelligence network he has built over the past few years.

It can be seen that the final victory in the Battle of Yubi was not only because of Wei Xiaokuan's super tower defense ability, but also because of many efforts outside the battlefield.

After understanding the situation in detail, the atmosphere in the big tent became more dull, and no one spoke for a long time.The bosses didn't speak first, maybe they wanted to see how the public was going, and the others didn't speak out because they lacked opinions.

Yu Wentai frowned slightly when he saw that the generals were silent for a long time, raised his hand and knocked on the case and said in a low voice: "Although the Eastern Bandit's momentum is fierce, it is by no means unstoppable. In previous years, there were victories and losses in the battles. Everyone in this room can speak freely, the policy is meritorious, and the wrong words are not guilty.”

When the generals heard this, their expressions became a little more relaxed, and then one of the generals stood up and said: "The eastern thieves have recruited party members on a large scale, and we can see that the plan is very big. I think it is a plan to send out all the troops and invite them to fight in the Kanto. , we should rely on our geographical advantages and wait for labor with ease, so that the best strategy is to meet the weaker division with the sharper army!"

Yu Wentai's expression improved a little when he heard this, but the next sentence from this person made his face darken abruptly: "Yubi City, built under the supervision of Prince Sizhengjiu of Taiyuan, is a strong fortress in the east of the river, so the old man is against the outside world. , if the Duke of Taiyuan returns to the town of Yubi, the bandit army will have to work hard this time to no avail!"

As soon as this remark came out, there were many generals present who showed their approval.The shadow of the famous tree of people, as early as the eighth year of Datong, the year before the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Huan of the Eastern Dynasty had surrounded Yubi City with troops, but he was unable to attack and had no choice but to withdraw his troops.In the Battle of Mangshan in the ninth year of Datong, Wang Sizheng sat in the back of Hengnong City and was able to return to Guanzhong safely after defeating all the troops.

Therefore, in the minds of the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty today, if the invasion of the Eastern Dynasty army is a disease, then Wang Sizheng is a medicine for this disease.Now that the Eastern Bandit is coming to invade again, Wang Sizheng is naturally thought of.

However, after hearing this, the expressions of some core generals became a little subtle. He Lanxiang stood up from the table and said, "Isn't Taiyuan the only one who is employed by the imperial court? The former Taiyuan government changed its town to Jingzhou. Now, repeating the previous order before the rebels arrived, is self-disruption, could it be that there is no one in the crowd who can take care of it?"

Among the relatives of Daxingtai's nephews and nephews, He Lanxiang was second only to Zhang Wugong Yu Wendao in terms of importance. He stood up and made this rebuttal, which was tantamount to Daxingtai's attitude.Although Daxingtai once stated that his statement was wrong and innocent, but his speech was so deviant, the eyes of the generals looking at this person were quite playful.

There is no doubt about Wang Sizheng's ability, but in many cases, it is not only about ability when employing people.Regardless of the past, Wang Sizheng is not a core member of the Overlord Mansion after all.

The reason why Daxingtai transferred him away from Hengnong in Western Henan, where he had been guarding for several years, was to prevent him from controlling too deeply the portals entering and exiting the Kanto.Just transferred Wang Sizheng to Jingzhou on the front foot, and then hurriedly transferred back to Yubi to guard it, not to mention that Daxingtai can't save face, all the generals present are also embarrassed.

Seeing this cleverness, Li Tai looked a little strange, turned his head and asked Ji Huihui for a while, only to find out that this person is also a guy who relies on his father-in-law for his position.

This man's name is Xia Houzhong, official car rider, Yitong, who was originally the general of Liu Liang's department who founded the mansion. Liu Liang was seriously ill at the beginning of the year, so he married the youngest daughter of the family to Xia Houzhong and entrusted him with future affairs. Now Xia Houzhong, the son-in-law, is temporarily in charge of him. department.

After knowing the identity of this person, Li Tai understood why he made such remarks. It may not be that he really took Daxingtai's polite words as truth and had no taboos. It's just that Liu Liang was the governor of Dongyongzhou before his death, and he was one of the important river defense towns. If the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty attacked directly, it must be the first wave to go to the front line.Since there is such a good choice as Wang Sizheng, then of course Wang Sizheng is inclined to guard Yubi City.

That Xia Houzhong was also clever. After hearing He Lanxiang's rebuttal, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and said loudly: "I am by no means timid and afraid of fighting. I just wait for the order from Daxingtai, and I will lead my subordinates to fight bravely." Array, kill the Eastern Bandit!"

"General Xiahou is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. No wonder Liu Taiwei entrusted his family affairs to each other during his lifetime. But if all the soldiers have such a strong spirit, even if there are thousands of thieves, there is nothing to worry about!"

Yu Wentai raised his hand to signal Xia Houzhong to get up, and then said: "Before the Duke of Taiyuan left the town of Jingzhou, he wrote to the mansion to strongly recommend Wei Xiaokuan, the former governor of Jinzhou, to succeed him. Also Kansai is heroic, I hope I can live up to it!"

Having said that, Wei Xiaokuan lacked any single-handed achievements before this, so it is difficult to make people absolutely reassured.And hearing Yu Wentai's tone, he only said that Wang Sizheng strongly recommended him, and he might have reservations about Wei Xiaokuan's evaluation in his heart.
