Northern Dynasties

Chapter 518
In the city of Tongguan, the atmosphere was dull and oppressive, and the people inside and outside did not dare to speak loudly, which gave people a sense of tension and dignity.

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

"My lord, Li Taiwei has led to the pass, and the generals are kowtowing in front of the mansion to plead guilty."

Yu Jin glanced secretly at the hall, and immediately lowered her head to report.

Yu Wentai was lying on his side in the hall, looking a bit haggard, he nodded after hearing the words, and only said in a low voice: "Please invite Taiwei Li in."

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

A few days ago, his ambitious leader Ma Dong came out of Tongguan, but before he arrived at Hengnong, news came that the front line was defeated and the two cities of Heyang were lost.This directly made Yu Wentai so angry that his eyes were staring at gold stars, and he almost lost his anger. After finally controlling his emotions, he led his troops back to Tongguan, and then fell ill due to the taint of anger.

Soon after Yu Jin left, Li Bi was brought in, accompanied by the dejected Zhao Gui and Yu Wenhu.Knowing that the lord only heard about Li Bi, but the two of them insisted on coming in with him, Yu Jin couldn't stop them, he only stopped them when he was outside the hall, and only invited Li Bi to see him.

"Sinners kowtow to the lord, and some blame the lord..."

When Li Bi entered the hall and saw Daxingtai's attitude, he was also shocked, he hastily bowed his knees and made obeisance and confessed his mistake.

Yu Wentai had already sat up right now, raised his hand and slapped the desk to interrupt Li Bi's words, and said weakly: "I know that the war crime is not attributable to the Taiwei, so let's excuse the ceremony first, and then describe the battle in detail. "

After Li Bi heard the words, he stood up, but he was too embarrassed to take his seat, and stood in the hall with his hands down, and told the story of the battle.

"Hey, the situation is in turmoil and changing in a blink of an eye! It is clear that the advantage lies with me and Hebei is outside, but it is suddenly reversed. It is heartbreaking and regrettable..."

After Yu Wentai finished listening, he raised his hands to cover his face and rubbed his face fiercely, and then sighed, his regret was beyond words.

After Li Bi saw this, he knelt down again in a hurry and said in a deep voice: "Heyang Beicheng Town General Dendrobium Law Gold is an old, treacherous and stubborn generation among thieves. He knows how to fight well..."

boom!
It's okay if he doesn't say anything, Yu Wentai's expression changed abruptly during this argument, and immediately he slapped his hands on the case again, and said angrily: "Don't lie to me! Hu Lujin is an old traitor today! Stubborn, could it be that Hu Lujin was a dull child the day before yesterday? He can see whether he is capable or incompetent! I still want to feel ashamed and guilty of my own misconceptions and miscalculations. What face does this scum that hinders the country have to pass the blame?"

Li Bi saw Daxingtai so furious, he quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth.This time Daxingtai did not attribute the main responsibility to him, which was quite fortunate for him, and naturally he did not dare to provoke Daxingtai to blame him for defending the two pig teammates.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after a while, Yu Jin bit the bullet and said, "Duke Nanyang and Gonggong Zhongshan are outside the hall..."

"Could it be that Tongguan is also like the cities on the front line, allowing thieves to come and go at will?"

At this moment, Yu Wentai was quite disrecognizable. After hearing the words, he gave Yu Jin a hard look, and then said angrily: "Prison these two disciples on the fence, I don't want to see them!"

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

It is not that Yu Wentai has not experienced failure, and even fell into an extremely desperate situation for a time, but the mentality of the previous times was not as broken as it is this time.

Because he has been on the weak side since he took power, Gao Huan is far more famous and powerful than him.It can be said that under Gao Huan's repeated offensives, it is a matter of pride that his power can exist, not to mention that he once defeated the strong with the weak.

But now that Gao Huan has passed away, the Eastern Dynasty still encountered such a serious event as Hou Jing's rebellion, which can be described as internal and external difficulties.It was only then that the forces of the Western Dynasty were able to re-enter the Heluo area, and even once achieved a record that had never been achieved before, which also made Yu Wentai feel a sense of expectation for this.

In his view, even if the opponent cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop this time, at least it can be severely damaged, thereby gaining the strategic initiative of the East-West confrontation.He was suppressed by Gao Huan for half of his life, so he wouldn't be subject to his son.

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

Rao is Yu Wentai's tenacious mind, and the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, but this time he couldn't digest such a cruel blow for a while.In addition to the blows and setbacks to his confidence and emotions, he was also involved in cultivating his nephew, which made his heart ache.

After pondering for a while, he said again in a deep voice: "Li Wansui is still in Jiuqu City. Once the enemy invades, he may not defend it. If Yiyang is lost again, Western Henan will be restless again. If it’s not for me, we should arrange reinforcements for the division brigade.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jin said: "Master Ju cannot be used by force. Today, the army is newly defeated and morale is low. If we force them to go to danger again, it will go against everyone's wishes. I am afraid it will be difficult to win. Li Wansui is brave and decisive. , must be able to distinguish the situation, if it is possible to defend, then fight bravely, if it is difficult to defend, there is no point in forcing it, and it is a good strategy to return to the old town."

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

Although this defeat was not as tragic as the battle of Mangshan a few years ago, it also dealt a serious blow to morale, especially now that the main force of the Bafu's central army is the Kansai children who have been expanded and reorganized in recent years. Not many, this defeat hit them particularly hard.

"The Gao family's children are messing with my mind! If the young and strong under my sect are still in Zhenheyang, how can the gang of thieves, young and old, have any room to act recklessly!"

Full of worries, Yu Wentai suddenly sighed again, his tone full of remorse.

After Li Bi heard this, he couldn't help but said: "If Li Boshan can return to help in time, maybe Heluo can save some of his previous achievements. This member is indeed young and brave, and he knows how to fight well, and his willpower can surpass the masses. Famous generals and elite soldiers are too many to match."

After Yu Wentai heard the words, there was also a glint of hope in his eyes. If he couldn't keep any results after a lot of tossing this time, it would be an extremely embarrassing and unacceptable situation for him.

Although Li Bi and other generals were all driven out of Heluo by the autumn wind like fallen leaves, and Li Tai was alone, the situation was not good. Thinking that this son can bring him great surprises every time, Yu Wentai can't help but look forward to it.

So in the next few days, Yu Wentai was not in a hurry to withdraw to Guanzhong, but remained in Tongguan. He was eager to know the situation on the front line as soon as possible, and he was also planning for the worst. If you go west, you can still repel the enemy before this pass.

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

After Yu Wentai heard the news, he was even more distressed, but the situation between Heluo is not good now, and he has no time to take care of other things for a while.

Maybe people who are unlucky to the extreme will always be lucky. A few days later, Yiyang finally came with good news: Li Boshan personally led [-] elite soldiers to go over the mountain to reinforce Jiuqu City, and within one night, he wiped out several enemy camps and went straight to Jiuqu City. Yuansuo's combined forces smashed tens of thousands of enemy troops and captured more than [-] enemy soldiers and horses. The thief general Ke Zhu Hunyuan fled to Heqiao in a hurry.Li Boshan led the crowd to capture Yique again, and successfully led back the Yichuan army, thus preserving the stronghold of the city between Yiluo!

"Boshan is really brave and reliable, and he lives up to his trust! I have Boshan, and it's more than just like a tiger with wings!"

Suffering from all kinds of negative news in the past few days, Yu Wentai's heart was almost numb. Now that he finally heard the uplifting good news, he almost cried with joy, and felt that all the depression in his heart was poured out for a while.

Now that the battle between Heluo has stabilized on the front line of Yiyang, and all the troops in western Henan have successfully returned, Yu Wentai's hanging heart has finally been relieved, and there is no need to stay in Tongguan anymore, so he is ready to return to Huazhou Appease the situation in the country.

Before leaving, Yu Wentai ordered Li Tai to go to Luyang to lead some Huiling coffins and his troops back to Kansai.

　Happy Father's Day. . .
