Liangquewu is located on the north bank of the North Rushui River, which is a three-sided circulating plateau on the dock wall, and is also the seat of Rubei County. With the contraction and withdrawal of Hou Jing's department, the city was also owned by the Western Wei Dynasty.

In order to cooperate with Wang Sizheng to take over Yingchuan and other Hou Jing's spheres of influence, Li Tai temporarily led his troops to be stationed in Liangquewu, and the rest of the men and horses were stationed along Beirushui in addition to the Zhuguan garrison around Luoyang.

On this day, Wei Fabao, the commander of the same track stationed in the camp by the river, sent his chief Shi Peikuan into the city to ask for a meeting, and informed Li Tai of a rather surprising news: Hou Jing, who was supposed to lead his troops south, suddenly led his troops to the vicinity of Xiangcheng, and made people inform Wei Fabao that he was going to visit.

"Hou Jing actually arrived in Xiangcheng?"

Li Tai also frowned when he heard this, he thought that Hou Jing was going south to join the Southern Liang reinforcements after leaving Yingchuan, but he didn't expect this guy to transfer to Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng is located in the lower reaches of Beirushui, only a hundred miles away from the Liangque Dock where Li Tai is currently stationed, and if you ride a fast horse, you can go back and forth several times in a day.

Could it be because he scolded too hard when he cooperated with Wang Sizheng in acting, which made Hou Jing feel resentful, so he moved to Xiangcheng and was ready to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on himself?

Li Tai couldn't help muttering in his heart, Hou Jing has always been a small-hearted guy, he has been defeated by Murong Shaozong in history, and he was scolded for being a cripple on the way to the south, and he had to stop and break through the city to kill people and take revenge.

Although Li Tai didn't laugh at his physical disability, he really didn't have a good tone when he acted, and if you look at this guy's personality and temper, it makes sense to sneak up to the neighborhood to take revenge on him. However, he also sent someone to notify Wei Fabao in advance, which is a bit incomprehensible.

After thinking for a while, Li Tai suddenly remembered a section in his mind, so he hurriedly asked Pei Kuan: "Does Pei Changshi know if there is a general named Ren Yue among the armies?" ”

He suddenly remembered that during this period of time in history, Hou Jing had gone to great lengths to expand his strength, and he had gone to great lengths to woo the generals of the armies sent by the Western Wei Dynasty to reinforce him.

Li Tai's previous judgment should not be wrong, the current Hou Jing did not dare to rashly start a war with the Western Wei Dynasty, and now he moved to the vicinity of Xiangcheng and invited Wei Fabao to meet him, which should also be to win over, not to take revenge on himself.

Historically, Hou Jing's behavior was not all useless, and the Ren Yue asked by Li Tai was betrayed from all the reinforcements to join Hou Jing. Moreover, this appointment was unknown in the Western Wei army, but after following Hou Jingnan, he shined, made great achievements, and quickly became one of Hou Jing's henchmen.

The most amazing thing is that this guy died so much with Hou Jing, and even the boss was killed, and he successfully transferred to Emperor Liang Yuan of Jiangling. Later, after the Western Wei Dynasty captured Jiangling, this guy ran away to Wang Sengbi, and after Chen Ba killed Wang Sengbi first, he crossed the river with Xu Sihui, the old department of Wang Sengbi, and entered Shicheng, and led the Northern Qi army to attack, and was finally defeated by Chen Ba first and then surrendered to Northern Qi.

The reason why Li Tai was deeply impressed by this Ren Yue was that this guy was too prodigal and his life was really hard enough, every time he was a lifeless disaster for others, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster, and unlike the Beizhen warriors who committed crimes, he was able to retreat from the Three Kingdoms with his outstanding life!

After Pei Kuan heard this question, he frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Among the armies in western Henan, there is no general named Ren Yue. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be a little disappointed after hearing this, but it was normal to think about it, this appointment was only after he arrived in Jiangdong, and his resume and achievements were mostly concentrated along the river, although it was limited by experience, but it also reflected that he should not be a traditional northern military talent. The geographical restrictions of generals are still relatively obvious nowadays, even if it is Hou Jing, when his soldiers besiege Taicheng, the battle is like stuffing in the brain.

Shi Zai's appointment led more than 1,000 people to surrender to Hou Jing, which was at least the level of governor in the Western Wei army. If it was a general of the Chinese army who traveled from Kansai, of course Li Tai would know.

But now the armies under his command are mostly local township soldiers, powerful and private, and they are extremely independent, although their respective generals are under Li Tai's control, but there is no need to explain their internal personnel to Li Tai in detail.

Since Pei Kuan said that this appointment was not a member of the Western Henan Righteous Army, it was most likely likely among the local volunteers in Henan under the command of Zhao Gang.

Li Tai really wanted to deduct this guy who was stiff and out of the circle, at least invisibly damaged Hou Jing's luck, so he went to inform Zhao Gang elsewhere in the garrison, if there was a famous general in the army, he would send it to Liangquewu as soon as possible.

After explaining this matter, he turned to think about how to deal with the fact that Hou Jing was about to come to dig his corner.

Pei Kuan suggested that it would be better to take advantage of Hou Jing's loss of vigilance to directly capture him and escort him back to the court.

Li Tai thought about it and waved his hand to reject the proposal, the reason is also very simple, what are you messing with him? Not to mention whether there is a direct conflict of interest between Hou Jing and their Western Wei Dynasty at the moment, the key is that there are tens of thousands of horses under Hou Jing's command, what should I do with these horses after arresting Hou Jing?

It is not an exaggeration for these people to say that they are tigers, leopards and jackals, and at the moment there is still Hou Jing who can be reluctantly restrained, but when Hou Jing's prestige is no longer strong, they betray Hou Jinglai very neatly. If you really want to arrest Hou Jing, you don't want to give them this order, maybe you will stab the hornet's nest and be pounced on by a chaotic battle.

After thinking about it, Li Tai decided to go to the Weifa Bao camp in person, and if Hou Jing really came, then he would come forward to deal with him and let him retreat.

Wei Fabao was also embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with Hou Jing, so he sent Pei Kuan to tell and ask Li Tai, and when he saw Li Tai leading his troops into his camp, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the change in Wei Fabao's demeanor, Li Tai couldn't help but secretly sigh that sure enough, the shadow of the famous tree, Wei Fabao was fearless when he was about to face Hou Jing, which showed the great psychological pressure that Hou Jing brought to these generals in western Henan.

In addition to a few general battles between the two Weis, there was constant friction on the border at ordinary times. Hou Jingjiu was in Henan, especially with Gao Aocao's and other generals in Henan either died of war or illness, and gradually became more dominant than Henan. Therefore, for these generals on the western Henan front, the damage and threat caused by Hou Jing to them are even greater than those of Gao Huan.

When Li Tai came to the Wei Fabao camp, in a remote corner of Zhao Gang's camp more than ten miles away, the governor Ren Youzheng summoned the commanders of his troops to meet secretly in the tent.

Ren is about thirty years old, not extremely tall, but very strong, at this time holding a letter and said in a deep voice: "This is a letter from General Hou's henchman Wang Wei to me, saying that if I am willing to lead my troops to vote, General Hou will personally come to greet me and lead me as a confidant and a minion!"

The eldest husband walks in this world, and dedicates his will to his confidant! Today, the Western Army treats the people of our state mean and alienated, and the general of the palm print is light and arrogant, and it is not a pity to serve this disciple, and I don't know when it will come out! ”

He was still mobilizing the masses here, and suddenly a voice from outside the tent came from the commander asking questions: "General Ren can be in the tent?" Zhao Che rode me to tell the general, and the envoy of Liangquewu Xihe summoned the camp and ordered the general to go to Liangquewu to meet him quickly! ”

Rao is Ren Yue was very bold, and when he heard the voice of the soldier, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright, could it be that the Duke of Xihe already knew that he was going to take refuge in Hou Jing, so he was summoned to ask for the crime and kill?

He forced himself to stabilize his mind, and first led a subordinate to come out perfunctory and probing, which made the pawn vague and did not know why Xihe Gong summoned him, which naturally caused great psychological pressure on Ren Yue.

He already had the heart to take refuge in Hou Jing, and he was frightened by this at this time, so he naturally didn't dare to take the risk and go to Liangquewu, so he simply took advantage of the lack of preparation in the camp, and ordered someone to secretly burn the baggage in the camp, and then directly led his troops to rush out of the camp and go straight down along the Beiru River.

When Li Tai learned of this news, it was already evening, and when he heard the news, he was startled, and hurriedly led the elite of his department and the Wei Fabao troops to Zhao Gang's camp to reinforce them, and sent scouts to investigate and guard, and slowly withdrew to Liangquewu the next morning after keeping watch all night.

Just as Li Tai was speculating whether Hou Jing had any follow-up plans, Hou Jing's staff member Wang Wei actually asked Liang Quewu to visit, and after meeting, he repeatedly explained that it was a misunderstanding. Ren Yue led the department to take refuge in his own decision, not Hou Jing's deliberate demagoguery and so on.

Although Li Tai did not believe this Wang Wei's explanation, he could see from his attitude that this was indeed an unexpected incident, and it might even affect Hou Jingjiang's plan to personally come to persuade Wei Fabao and other generals in western Henan.

But whether it was sudden or premeditated, the humiliation it brought to Li Tai was no different. Hou Jing sent his henchman Wang Wei to explain, probably because he didn't want to completely fight him at this moment, so he ordered Hou Jing's pen and think tank to be deducted first, and prepared to use this guy to exchange the appointment for a concoction.

However, before this idea could be put into action, it was interrupted by another accident, and a messenger from Heluo came to report: The enemy army in Heyang launched a counterattack, and Yuwen Hu, who was stationed at Heqiao, was defeated and retreated, and the two cities of Heyang that had been captured before were lost.

At the same time, Li Bi, who was stationed at Baiguwu, was attacked by the enemy on his back and also did not leave, and Zhao Gui, who was originally guarding the Hanguan City, abandoned the city and fled. Yifeng and other remnants of the army retreated to Yiyang Jiuqu City, while the Eastern Wei side pursued the victory, but Zhu Hunyuan led the army to besiege Jiuqu City.

After receiving this letter, Li Tai was speechless for a long time, and after a while, he couldn't help but scold: "Yuwensa fidelity waste!" ”
