People from all walks of life in western Henan arrived at Heqiao one after another, and stationed themselves inside and outside the southern city.

As soon as these generals reported the situation of their respective troops, Li Tai immediately opened the arsenal in the city and allocated them the corresponding ordnance and armament.

The arsenal of Heyang Nancheng is a comprehensive warehouse, with all kinds of marching, camping, fighting and other treasury materials.

Since Li Tai was generous to others, he did not make a stingy posture in this regard, and on the premise of not affecting the performance of combat effectiveness, he did not subdivide whether these materials were used in battle, including ordinary felt tents and bedding and other things were also distributed to those righteous teachers in western Henan.

After receiving these materials, these people from all walks of life were elated, and their words were full of gratitude to Li Tai. They were called Yishi, and in fact they were a kind of compulsory army, fighting at the forefront of the war with the Eastern Wei, but the funding they could get from the overlord was very scarce.

For example, the same track defense stationed in front of Wei Fabao has been regarded as a relatively regular and important defense city set up by the Western Dynasty in Guannan, firmly guarding the first line of Luoshui Yiyang, but since the battle of Bishan in the old year, the same track defense has hardly received material allocation from Huazhou Bafu.

"Xihe Gong is righteous and gracious, and the last general will be unforgettable!"

Seeing that the soldiers and soldiers in the battalion had all changed into brand-new hakama uniforms, all of them were tall and radiant, and they were wiping the bows, knives, guns and guns distributed to them with a smile, Wei Fabao and the others were also pleased, and they were even more grateful when they looked at Li Taishi.

Li Tai bent down and helped these generals who bowed and thanked them one by one, looked at them and said with a smile: "Since you are willing to believe in me, all the generals will rush to help, and I should have something in return!" In the meantime, the thief army has used force and power to abuse the people of Heluo for a long time, and now they have seized their cities and driven their troops, and if the accumulated things in the treasury are not shared by the righteous teachers of Zhulu who have been fighting hard for a long time, who will benefit? ”

Xihe Gong spoke up, which made the last general and others ashamed. Although the battle with the thieves was long, the results were lackluster. If it weren't for Xihe Gong leading the army to advance bravely, the last general would not know that the cities of Heyang could be broken through, so they just blindly took refuge and fought timidly......"

Hearing Li Tai say this, Wei Fabao and the others couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Before, they were only suppressed by the Eastern Wei people in the Guannan region, and they couldn't even reach the vicinity of Heluo, let alone the river bridge further north. As for coming to help, he didn't lead the army to come at the first time, but rushed over after Li Yisun's confirmation, and as soon as he arrived here, he was able to share the results of the battle, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart.

Li Tai didn't care about these details, and after hearing this, he just said: "The thief is still stubborn, and it is far from the work of a few battles. There is a lack of power now, and it can still be made up in the future, the bow and knife are in hand, and the ambition is in the arms, so why should the strong men in the world be useless? ”

There are nearly 10,000 people from all walks of life in western Henan who have come to help, and when they first arrived, it is inevitable that some of the troops are untidy and discouraged, and they don't look like some elite armed forces.

However, with the distribution of the ordnance supply to the battalions in the southern city of Heyang, these people changed dramatically, as sharp as the swords and guns that had just been issued in their respective hands.

Just as Li Tai was interacting with these righteous teachers in western Henan, Zhao Gui, Yuwen Hu and others also came to the vicinity of Luoyang City.

Today's Luoyang City is naturally not prosperous in the past, and there are some temporary campsites distributed between the ruins and broken walls, which is a desolate and withered scene.

After arriving here, Zhao Gui ordered his entourage to clean up the camp and temporarily stay here, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Kansai, and had no intention of immediately going to the river bridge to join Li Tai's men.

However, Yuwen Hu was concerned about the latest changes in the situation of the river bridge, and after reporting to Zhao Gui, he led more than 100 soldiers to the river bridge in the north.

Li Taiben was patrolling the camp outside the city, and after hearing the news, he rode back to the city, and saw Yuwen Hu who was constantly looking around the river bridge from a distance, so he stepped forward and asked loudly: "When will Brother Sabao come here?" ”

When Yuwen Hu heard this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Li Tai, and said with a half-truthful smile: "Boshan, you didn't expect it, right? I also have a staff plan to forge ahead in Heyang, how can I let Boshan you be unique according to the wisdom of the people! Therefore, after hearing that you have practiced this plan, I will go to the front line day and night, to fight side by side with you, to overcome this river defense together, and to break the thieves in the north! ”

Look at this guy's eyes flashing, the word "grabbing merit" almost rushed out of his eyes, Li Tai was also very happy for a while, and stepped forward to beckon Yuwen Hu to go back to the city to talk in detail.

Yuwen Hu was full of pride and ambition at this time, and he was unwilling to enter the city to sit down, and after observing all the defenses around the river embankment, he even proposed to go to Zhongyun City in Hezhong Continent to inspect it, worried that there would be any defense loopholes and be taken advantage of by the enemy.

After Li Tai heard this, his face suddenly sank, and the emotional Lao Tzu squatted in Heyang City, and it was all up to you Yuwen Sabao to ensure that the city was not lost?

He sent a soldier commander to lead Yuwen Hu to Hezhou, and he directly sent his horse back to Heyang South City. This guy is clearly here to steal credit, and the atmosphere between them doesn't have to be too harmonious, otherwise it will be difficult to be sloppy when he asks how to capture Zhongyun City later.

At this time, Yuwen Hu just wanted to have a careful and detailed understanding of the offensive and defensive situation here, so that he could have some reference and judgment for the further development of the next war, and his sense of responsibility was bursting, so he naturally didn't feel that his move was a bit overstepping and his emotional intelligence was not enough, so he didn't pay attention to Li Tai, who left directly, and went north along the river bridge with his entourage under the guidance of the commander.

It wasn't until the evening when it was close to dark that Yuwen Hu ended his inspection and came to the south city of Heyang, and after seeing Li Tai, he sighed with emotion: "The river bridge is really majestic, one water is divided into two parts, and three are ......in danger."

Listening to Yuwen Hu's gushing about the topography of the north and south of the river bridge, Li Tai's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately asked, "Brother Sabao, this is the first time to travel through the river bridge?" ”

After Yuwen Hu heard this, his expression became a little embarrassed, and he laughed dryly and said: "The old went straight to Pingliang from Jinyang, and then Kanto was swallowed by thieves, although several large armies fought in Heluo, but none of them were able to reach the river bridge......"

This guy really doesn't know the battle environment between the north and south of the river bridge, but he is very bold, and he dares to send it.

Li Tai complained a few words in his heart, and then asked about the follow-up arrangements of the overlord for the situation in Heqiao, when he heard that 20,000 reinforcements and horses were on the way, he couldn't help but feel a secret emotion in his heart, and sighed that Yuwentai really couldn't withstand such a temptation.

"The three cities of Heyang are closely connected and rely on each other, and the commentators only say that they are integrated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are cowardly before fighting, but they do not make a detailed examination of whether they are real or not. If it weren't for Boshan, you would have fought bravely to take it this time, and the country would not have known that the defense of the East Thief River would be so weak, and the three cities would have won two of them! ”

Speaking of Li Tai's current results, Yuwen Hu couldn't help but sigh again.

Just now, when he was inspecting the city defense of Heqiao, he also learned about Li Tai's capture of the second city, the southern city was obtained by fraud, and although Zhongyun City experienced a battle, it only took half the night, it can be seen that Li Tai was able to capture the second city, the first is bold, and the second is luck.

In the final analysis, the most important thing is to plan before the war.

Yuwen Hu was one of the first people in the country to propose to take this opportunity to attack Heyang, and he was able to take the lead in finding and judging the enemy's river defense weaknesses from the complicated situation between the enemy and us, and formulated a series of battle plans to control the river defense at close range and attack Yecheng from afar.

However, for Li Tai's victory, Yuwen Hu was no longer very jealous after learning about it. The easier it is for his people to get credit, the more correct his inferences will be proved, and he has obviously informed everyone of the correct answer before the war, but the generals are still just staring at Henan, but Li Tai has the courage to practice it, and who can blame him for picking up this cheap?

But that's the end of it. Li Tai was willing to believe in his pre-war analysis concept, so as to obtain the merit of conquering the two cities of Hayang, which was his luck. But now that he is on the front line, the second half of the strategic plan is, of course, the safest thing to be implemented by himself.

Yuwen Hu thought so in his heart, his eyes looked at Li Tai thoughtfully, he hoped that Li Tai would know how to stop in moderation and take the initiative to hand over the command of the follow-up operation, and after a little muttering, he said: "The section of the river bridge in the north of Zhongyun City is seriously damaged, it is difficult to pass, and the number of boats and boats stored near the left side of the river island is not much, which seems to be a bit of an obstacle to the implementation of the follow-up plan, right?" What does Boshan think about this? ”

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and then asked rhetorically: "What is the plan of Brother Sabao?" ”

"This ...... The three cities have two of them, and there is no reason to hold back, how to capture the North Central City next, Boshan, you don't have to predict? ”

Yuwen Hu frowned again and said, he has made a whole set of plans to capture the three cities of Heyang and even further targets, and the combination of land and water is the key to capturing the northern city, and it is also the most important link. If Li Tai had seriously understood his strategic concept, it would have been impossible to ignore it.

When Li Tai heard this, he sighed and said: "There are only a few thousand people in my department, and it is a fluke to be able to conquer the middle city and defend it so far. At the moment, I just hope that the reinforcements can arrive quickly, and there is really no conclusive plan to discuss with the Sabao brothers. ”

Hearing that Li Tai was unwilling to discuss the specific battle plan with him, a trace of displeasure flashed in Yuwen's eyes, but he also understood that few people would be happy to share this kind of miraculous feats with others, and it was normal for Li Tai to have this defensive mentality.

Yuwen Hu didn't want to have too stiff relations with Li Tai for the time being, so he turned his eyes and changed the topic first, pointing to Li Zhongju who was standing beside him and asked with a smile, "Who is this young man?" It's a little eye-catching, but it's a little similar to your appearance in Boshan. ”

"I didn't have time to introduce it to Brother Sabao, this is a middle move for my brother."

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said, motioning for his second brother Li Chao to come forward and greet Yuwen Hu.

Yuwen Hu's expression suddenly became strange after hearing this: "I remember that Boshan, your family seems to be stranded in Hebei, this Xiaolang is your brother?" How did it end up here? ”

Li Tai naturally did not hide this, and even told Chen Yuankang and his party about the coming, and Yuwen Hu frowned after listening, looked at Li Tai thoughtfully, and after a while, he did not stay to eat, and directly said goodbye and left Heyang Nancheng and went straight to Luoyang.

The symptoms are much lighter, and tomorrow will resume the update, everyone will prevent the epidemic and prevent heatstroke, and live a happy life...
