In Tongguan City, the atmosphere is dull and depressing, and the masses inside and outside do not dare to speak loudly, which gives people a sense of tension and solemnity on the road.

Yu Jin strode in the military mansion, and soon came to the door of a hall in the mansion, and invited the guards standing outside the door to enter the court, and when he was allowed to enter, he lowered his head and entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei Li has already led the arrival at the front of the pass, and the generals are knocking in front of the palace to ask for guilt."

Yu Jin glanced at the hall secretly, and then bowed his head and said.

Yu Wentai was lying on his side in the hall, his whole person looked a little haggard, and after hearing this, he nodded, and said in a somewhat deep voice, "Invite Mrs. Li in."

After hearing this, Yu Jin took the order and left, except for some waiters in the hall, only Yuwentai was left.

A few days ago, he led his men and horses out of Tongguan with great ambition, but before he arrived at Hengnong, the news came that the front line was defeated and the two cities of Heyang were lost. This directly made Yu Wentai so angry that he almost turned his back on him, and finally managed to control his emotions, led his troops to retreat to Tongguan, and then fell ill due to qi contamination.

After Yu Jin went, he soon introduced Li Bi, accompanied by the dejected Zhao Gui and Yuwen Hu. Because he knew that the lord only saw Li Bi, but these two people insisted on coming in with him, Yu Jin was not easy to stop, and only stopped these two people when they arrived outside the hall, and only led Li Bi into the meeting.

"The sinners knock before the Lord, and there is a ...... to the Lord."

When Li Bi entered the hall and saw the state of Daxingtai, he was also shocked, and he was busy bending his knees and pleading guilty and pleading guilty.

Yu Wentai had already sat up at this time, raised his hand to pat the eucalyptus to interrupt Li Bi's words, and said a little weakly: "I know that this war crime does not lie with the captain, and I will first excuse myself, and then explain the battle in detail."

Li Bi stood up after hearing this, but he was embarrassed to sit down, stood in the hall with his hands down, and told the story of the war again.

"Alas, the situation is precarious and ever-changing! Obviously, the advantage is in me and Hebei, but it has been reversed sharply, which is heart-wrenching and regrettable......

After listening to this, Yu Wentai raised his hands to cover his face and rubbed his face, and said with a long sigh in his mouth, his regret overflowing.

After Li Bi saw this, he knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Hu Lujin, the general of Heyang North Town, is an old woman among thieves who is stubborn, and knows how to plan ......

Bang!

He didn't say that it was okay, but this argument, Yu Wentai's face also changed sharply, and he slapped his hand heavily on the eucalyptus, and said angrily in his mouth: "Hugh has to lie to me! Today's Hu Lujin is an old woman who is stubborn, could it be that Hu Lujin is a stupid child the day before yesterday? There is ability and inability, and there are eyes to see! I still want to be ashamed of my misidentification and miscalculation, what face does this scum have to shirk the blame for this harm and hindering the country?"

Seeing that Daxingtai was so angry, Li Bi hurriedly lowered his head and closed his mouth. This time, Daxingtai did not blame him, which was already quite fortunate for him, and naturally he didn't dare to provoke Daxingtai to anger him in order to help those two pig teammates speak out.

The hall fell silent for a while, and after a while, Yu Jincai stubbornly said, "Nanyang Gong and Zhongshan are just outside the hall......

"Could it be that Tongguan is also like the front-line cities, allowing thieves to enter and exit at will?"

Yu Wentai was quite a bit of a gesture of not recognizing his relatives at this time, and after hearing this, he glared at Yu Jin fiercely, and then said angrily: "Imprisoned these two disciples in the fence, I don't want to see them!"

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

Yuwentai has not experienced failure, and even fell into an extremely desperate situation for a time, but the mentality of the previous times has not collapsed like this time.

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

But now that Gao Huan has died, the Eastern Dynasty has also encountered such a serious incident as Hou Jing's rebellion, which can be described as a domestic and external difficulty. The Western Dynasty forces were able to re-enter the Heluo area, and even achieved a record that had not been achieved before, which also made Yuwentai look forward to it

Overstating.

In his opinion, even if he can't draw the opponent in one fell swoop, he can at least deal a heavy blow to him, so as to gain the strategic initiative in the confrontation between the east and the west. He has been suppressed by Gao Huan for half his life, and he will not be subject to his son.

So this time in the battle of Heqiao, he pinned on very rich expectations and emotions, but he didn't expect that he hadn't even arrived at the front line yet, and his predecessor had already suffered a big defeat, not only losing the two cities of Heyang, but also almost all the achievements he had achieved in Heluojian before.

Rao is Yuwentai is mentally tenacious, and the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, but this time he can't digest such a cruel blow for a while. And in addition to the frustration of confidence and emotional blows, there is also a nephew who has been carefully cultivated, which also makes him heartbroken.

After a little muttering, he said in a deep voice: "Li Wansui is still in Jiuqu City, once the enemy army attacks, I am afraid that he will not defend it. If Yiyang is lost, western Henan will be restless, advance and retreat will be impermanent, and people's hearts will not be for me, so we should still arrange for divisions and brigades to reinforce."

As soon as he finished saying this, Yu Jin spoke: "The frustrated division cannot be forced, the current army is newly defeated and the morale is low, if you force it to go to the danger again, it will go against the will of the people, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. Long live Li is brave and resolute, he will be able to discern the situation, if he can defend himself, he should fight bravely, if it is difficult to defend, it is useless to be reluctant, and it is a good strategy to return to his hometown."

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

Although this defeat was not as tragic as the Battle of Bishan a few years ago, the blow to morale was also very serious, especially now that the main force of the Chinese army in the hegemony is the children of Guanxi who have been expanded and reorganized in recent years, and they have not had much experience in fighting with the Eastern Dynasties, and this defeat has dealt a particularly deep blow to them.

"The Gao family's children mess with my mind! If my young men are still in Zhenheyang, how can they be presumptuous!"

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

After Li Bi heard this, he couldn't help but say, "If Li Boshan can come back in time, maybe Heluo's previous achievements can be preserved. This man is indeed young and brave, knows how to fight, and can surpass the masses in his will, although there are many elite soldiers who are not able to reach him."

After hearing this, a trace of hope flashed between Yuwentai's eyebrows, if he didn't keep any results in the end after this toss, it would naturally be an extremely embarrassing and unacceptable situation for him.

Although Li Bi and other generals were driven out of Heluo like leaves swept away by the autumn wind, and Li Tai was alone and the situation was not good, and it was very difficult to return to help in the case of the enemy's heavy troops gathering in Heluo, but when he thought that this son could bring him a huge surprise, Yuwentai couldn't help but look forward to it.

So in the next few days, Yuwentai did not rush to withdraw to Guanzhong, but still stayed in Tongguan, not only eager to know the situation on the front line for the first time, but also making plans for the worst, if the situation continued to erode, the thief army advanced all the way to the west, and could still repel the enemy army in front of this pass.

However, the disaster is not a single line, the news of Yiyang Jiuqu City has not yet arrived, but there is a bad news reported to Tongguan: a number of Hui who were ordered to lead the army out of the town of Luyang, Guangzhou, suddenly fell ill and died violently in the army.

After Yuwentai learned the news, he was even more saddened, but the situation between Heluo was not good, and he had no time to take care of anything else for a while.

A few days later, Yiyang finally came with good news: Li Boshan personally led 3,000 elite soldiers over the mountain to reinforce Jiuqu City, uprooted the enemy camp several times in one night and arrived at Jiuqu City, and joined forces with Li Yuan's troops in the city to break tens of thousands of enemy troops, captured more than 5,000 enemy soldiers and horses, and the thief general Ke Zhu Hunyuan fled to the river bridge in a hurry. Li Boshan led the crowd to attack Yin Que again, and successfully brought back Yin Chuan's army, and the stronghold between Yin Luo and Yin Luo was also preserved!

"Boshan is really brave and reliable, and he lives up to his trust! I have Boshan, how can I be like a tiger with wings!"

Suffering from all kinds of negative news for several days, Yuwentai's heart has been almost numb, and now he finally heard the good news that makes people feel uplifted, almost crying with joy, and for a while he only felt that all the depression in his heart was poured out.

Since the battle between Heluo has stabilized on the Yiyang line, and the people and horses of all roads in western Henan have also successfully returned, Yuwentai's hanging heart has finally been able to fall, and there is no need to continue to stay in Tongguan, so he is ready to return to Huazhou to appease the situation in the country.

Before leaving, Yu Wentai ordered Li Tai to go to Luyang to bring some Hui Lingqi and his men back to Kansai.
