In the Luoyang camp, Yuwen Hu suddenly returned and eagerly asked to see him, which made Zhao Guidu startled, he had already stripped off and went to sleep, thinking that something terrible had happened, so he hurriedly got up in his clothes, and the staff introduced Yuwen Hu in.

"Li Boshan had a private meeting with the envoys of the Eastern Dynasty a few days ago!"

After Yuwen Hu entered the account, he didn't talk much nonsense, and directly told the matter.

"Actually, how can this be?"

Zhao Gui's face was shocked when he heard this, and he said vigilantly: "Could it be that this son has the intention of going east?" Then we, the situation is in danger......"

Yuwen Hu also nodded after hearing this, and said in a solemn voice: "Because of this, I didn't dare to continue to stay in Heqiao after learning about this, and quickly returned to tell Nanyang Gong, take precautions as soon as possible, and don't panic and do bad things." ”

As he spoke, he recounted in detail what Li Tai had said about this matter before, and Zhao Gui frowned and said after listening carefully: "This section alone is not enough to prove whether Li Boshan has the heart of rebellion. If he really has this intention, I don't think he will confess this matter to the Duke of Zhongshan, and he should try his best to cover it up, in order to coerce more people to go east......"

At the moment of the event, Zhao Gui did not wantonly diverge his thinking to make malicious speculations about Li Tai, but carefully analyzed the facts.

Yuwen Hu also thought a lot about the way back from the river bridge, and sighed after hearing Zhao Gui's words: "The most important thing at the moment is not whether Li Boshan has the heart to rebel. But if he really has this intention, can Nanyang Gong and I have a way to punish him? If not, then what difference does it make if he is rebellious or not? ”

Hearing this angle proposed by Yuwen Hu, Zhao Gui was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the gain or loss of the river bridge is related to the rise and fall of the fortunes of the two countries, and it should not be dedicated to the hands of one person, especially people like Li Boshan, who are all stranded in Kanto and whose bodies are undecided!"

This disciple has always been pampered and arrogant, proud of his merits, when he is still not aware of suspicion, he dares to meet the thief's envoy without playing, no matter what is said in the end, this act is already impure, it is advisable to admonish and make him vigilant!

However, now that the successor army of the country has not yet arrived here, the military affairs of the river defense still need to rely on the former to enrich it, and if it is rashly held accountable, I am afraid that the army's morale will waver, and the river defense will be unstable......

Zhao Gui is admittedly unhappy and full of jealousy towards Li Taiduo, but he does not have too strong a demand for the Heqiao defense line. If it weren't for Daxingtai's order and Yuwen Hu's repeated urging, he wouldn't even want to come to Heluo so soon.

In the final analysis, he is no longer the brave and daring of the past, focusing on safety, not loving to be the first, and not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Yuwen Hu wanted to take advantage of Li Boshan's private meeting with the enemy to attack, and he raised his hands in favor, but he didn't want to attack right now.

After all, the river bridge is the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, no matter what means Li Boshan used to capture the two cities, but the eastern thieves must also dream of recapturing them. Now that the reinforcements have not yet arrived, it is undoubtedly safest for Li Boshan to sit in the two cities of Heyang.

In short, Li Boshan is, of course, a thief with wolf ambitions and ill intentions, but now the river defense still needs to rely on his strength. When this most critical time has passed, it is not too late for us to peel him off and cramp his bones.

But Yuwen Hu obviously didn't agree with Zhao Gui's opinion, and his brows furrowed deeply after hearing this: "The two countries have been fighting for many years, and there are huge bones buried between Heluo alone, and it is difficult for each other to defeat each other. Today, because of the thieves and chaos, they seized the two cities of Heyang, although the success was achieved by the vanguard and the generals, but in fact it was better than the enemy's first opportunity.

The city defense of the river bridge is very important, and Nanyang Gong also said that it is not possible to focus on one person. Although Li Boshan's evil intentions have not been born, but his arrogance has been revealed, how can he tie this important matter to him again? Take the warning, take precautions, and take it for granted, please Nanyang Gong don't be lucky, cover up and connive! ”

Zhao Gui never dreamed that one day he would be accused of harboring and conniving at Li Boshan, but seeing that Yuwen Hu's attitude was so resolute, he was also a little difficult for a while, although he still felt that it was a little inappropriate to change generals in his heart, but he didn't want to take the risk of Li Boshan's private meeting with the enemy, and after a little silence, he looked at Yu Wenhu and asked: "Then according to what Zhongshan Gong sees, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"Daxingtai ordered the governor of Nanyang to fight here, and the last general will accompany the army as a staff officer, even if he has a plan, he is just ready to ask."

Yuwen Hu first said politely, and then said: "Li Boshan has a private meeting with the enemy envoy and has bad intentions, so he must not stay in the two cities of Heyang again. Now near the river bridge, in addition to the forward men and horses of its department, especially the people and horses of the western Henan road, they are selected to supplement the river defense with their courage and good fighting, and the troops of Li Boshan's department are eliminated. After the substitution of the river defense is completed, Li Boshan will lead his headquarters to retreat to Luoxi Guancheng to wait for the future. ”

Although Yuwen Hu was anxious to replace Li Tai from the front line, he also had to face the fact that there were no soldiers available at the moment, and he and Zhao Gui's troops together were only more than 2,000 people, and it was absolutely difficult to completely replace Li Tai's troops, so he could only quote the nearest Yuxi volunteers.

After listening to Yuwen Hu's idea, Zhao Gui shook his head a little unoptimisticly and said: "The people and horses of all roads in western Henan have rushed north to reinforce Li Boshan because of Li Yisun's agitation, and after arriving here, they have received many benefits such as equipment and supplies. Now, if all kinds of people are allowed to replace Li Boshan, I am afraid that there will be resistance from the masses, and the people may not be proficient in Li Boshan's department. A few feet into battle, it's better to be still than to be still! ”

If Yuwen Hu had some ingenious way to transfer Li Boshan away from the front line and sanction him, and it would not affect the military affairs of the river defense, Zhao Gui would of course be happy to obey, but now he obviously has no good way. If you really want to let others mess around and make any mess, Zhao Gui, the main general, has to bear the black pot, and Zhao Gui naturally doesn't want to deal with him.

Yuwen Hu saw that he was fighting so reasonably, but Zhao Gui was still afraid to transfer Li Boshan away from the front line, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, sure enough, the dignity and dignity of people were all lost by himself, no wonder Li Boshan didn't put this old thing in his eyes.

After a little silence, Yuwen Hucai spoke again: "If Nanyang Gong is worried that there will be no one to defend the town after being transferred from Li Boshan, the last general will invite himself into Zhenheyang Zhongyun City, the city is in me, the city is broken and I die, is it okay?" ”

This is a bit of a raise, Zhao Gui is not the first time to lead Yuwen Hu to fight, when the front is breached, no one dies with the formation, and the advance and retreat are all very flexible.

However, Yuwen Hu made this declaration to show the firmness of his heart, although Zhao Gui is a little confused about where his strong confidence comes from, but the most important thing for him is to stabilize the current front situation and wait for the arrival of the rear army, but he is not blindly trying to protect anyone, of course, even if he wants to preserve, it will not be Li Boshan's turn!

"Zhongshan Gong is brave and strong, how can there be a reason not to let the younger generations kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? It's just that it is not necessary to enter the middle of the town, and the south of the town is suitable and flexible. ”

Although Yuwen Hu said that he was full of confidence, Zhao Gui did not dare to really put it in a Jedi where it was inconvenient to advance and retreat, so as not to add a burden when the war was unfavorable.

"The southern city is also available, and the southern city is the foundation of the direct river bridge. Although Li Boshan was stationed here for a long time, his fighters were delayed, and there were not many boats and boats gathered in Hezhou, so it was difficult to carry a large army to cross the north bank, and the air defense front was out of order, and even if he did not transfer it, it would be difficult for him to enter again......

Yuwen Hu only wants the operational command of the front line, but he is not picky about whether he is sitting in Nancheng or Zhongcheng, and he has a lot of complaints about Li Tai's river defense arrangement, and he has already given birth to a complete set of adjustment plans in his heart, and said to Zhao Gui: "Heluo has fallen to thieves all the year round, and now the king has returned suddenly, and the people in the countryside probably don't know, Nanyang Gong also needs to arrange for the envoy to order the countryside, and recruit boats for the rear division to cross......"

Yuwen Hu has been waiting for an opportunity to express himself for too long, and after obtaining Zhao Gui's approval and appointment, he immediately entered the state, and after discussing some trivial matters of river defense with Zhao Gui, he immediately went to the vicinity of the river bridge to summon Wei Fabao, Chen Xin and others to come and meet.

"Although the last general and the other have known Xihe Gong for a short time, they have seen his generosity, heroism, righteousness and courage beyond the ordinary, and he is definitely not a person who sells kindness and righteousness, and the first rat is at both ends! Fangjin River Bridge is all because of Xihe Gong's victory against the enemy and the deterrence of the thief army, so that the defense can be intact and the thieves dare not attack ......"

When Wei Fabao and the others heard from Yuwen Hu that Li Tai was going to be transferred away from the front line because of his private meeting with the enemy's envoy, they all changed their expressions drastically, and they each raised their hands to express their feelings, hoping to think twice.

Although Yuwen Hu had already been reminded by Zhao Gui, when he heard that the generals here all spoke of their support for Li Tai, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "It is an undoubted fact that the Xihe public and private see the enemy envoy, and the Duke of Nanyang not only controls the armies but also serves as the lieutenant of the imperial history, and he should be admonished."

And now it is only a temporary stop, not a direct condemnation, you and other generals can work hard and live up to their previous achievements. After the fact, if it is really necessary to listen to the news and discuss its merits and demerits, it is not too late to make a statement. If the crowd is chaotic and can't focus on the war, so that the good situation collapses, not only will the land of Heluo be troubled by thieves, but the masses will also be blamed! ”
