"Are you Han Baohu?"

When Li Tai heard the young man's self-introduction, he was surprised in his heart, and he didn't care why Bai Shen called himself the last general, his eyes became hot, and he asked while looking the young man up and down.

There is a huge difference in their identities, Han Baohu was a little uncomfortable by this look, first took two steps back, and his face also showed a bit of youthful and youthful twist, but soon his eyes became firm again, looked at Li Tai's gaze, nodded and said: "The last general is Han Baohu!" In the past, Huzhong Aya had proposed to be named the leopard, but the last general hunted a tiger in the Guannan Mountains in the middle of the year, and he had always admired the prestige of the general, and he knew that the general had the courage to hunt the tiger in the old years, so he changed his name to capture the tiger. ”

Hearing the young man say that he was hunting a tiger, the attention of the other soldiers in the left and near was also attracted, and they all came up to observe and look at the young man and whispered, and there was some disbelief between the words.

Although this young man looks a little burly, he is not a real adult after all, and the childishness between his eyebrows and eyes is still very thick, which makes people can't believe that he can hunt a fierce tiger.

Han Baohu naturally heard the voices of the people around him, the young man was already strong, and what he said was also the truth, but he was questioned in front of the idol, and his self-esteem was greatly injured, and he raised his hand and pointed to the tiger skin hat on the top of his head and said loudly: "This hat is made of the tiger skin, and my family can testify to it!" If anyone is in doubt, then let's go out of the corner and try to see if I have the power to hunt tigers! ”

"I believe in you!"

Li Tai looked at Han Baohu, whose face was flushed and he was trying his best to prove himself, and took the lead in expressing his trust in him, and there were people who questioned King Han Yan, and he really didn't understand.

He stepped forward, raised his hand and took Han Baohu's tiger head hat in his hand to play with it for a while, and then put it on his head again, and patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Before the Communist Party, your father chased the merit of Heluo, and I once heard his words that the young apprentices in the family were still young, but I didn't want to have the courage to hunt tigers now, it turned out that the old years were just modest. Although the tiger is fierce, it is short-sighted in wisdom after all. When you go to the army to fight and strategize, you still have to take into account the growth of strategy and intelligence, so as to become a momentary hero who is truly beneficial to your family and country! ”

"Of course, the last general also hopes to become a wise and brave hero, but when it comes to wisdom and bravery, there is no one in the world who has no one in the world, so I want to join the general's command, and I hope that the general can tolerate and teach, and the last general will also be ready for war and serve hard!"

When Han Baohu heard Li Tai's praise and encouragement, he was overjoyed, and then hurriedly said: "Aya at home also sighs that his family is short-sighted, and he hopes to choose a famous teacher to support him. Whenever I talk about the mighty deeds of the generals, I often regret that I can't follow the ...... of service."

"You are just modest in what you say, the prestige of Han Hussar is also spread in Heluo, although the enemy country is strong, but it cannot easily cross the defense line, you are very great. It is even more rare to have this heroic pride in defending the country, and I also deeply admire it. ”

Li Taizi enjoyed being admired and worshiped by Han Baohu so much, first blowing a wave of his father in business, and then said with a smile: "My duties are limited, and I can't stay in Heluo for a long time." When I saw you in the future, I asked him if he was willing to put the young man in the door in Jingtu, and if he wanted, I could take you under the tent. ”

Of course, he really wanted to include Han Baohu under his command, but this kid is not an adult after all, even if he wants to take it away, he will know that he will be the old man.

Han Baohu was very excited when he heard this, and he expressed his excitement with all his fists, but he didn't know that there was now a group of young disciples in the horse shed in the camp cleaning up the horse manure with a complaining face.

Skipping this small episode, Li Tai asked Wei Xuan and others to enter the account to discuss the military aircraft.

Shi Jing's performance before was only the situation of the enemy forces around Yiyang that he had seen recently, and Wei Xuan, the heroic generals who still insisted on fighting in Guannan, naturally had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation between the enemy and us.

The situation between the enemy and the enemy in Heluo now is much worse than when Li Tai came here before.

At that time, because of Hou Jing's rebellion, there were not many troops stationed between Heluo, and none of them had any will to fight. Therefore, once they were attacked by the Western Wei people, they all retreated one after another to save their lives, and did not put up any stubborn resistance.

In the past, Hou Jing was also responsible for the defense of the Heluo region, and after the Eastern Wei Dynasty regained it, he carried out a systematic increase in defense under the successive sits of Hu Lujin and Ke Zhu Hunyuan. There are nearly 20,000 people stationed around Jiuqu City in Yiyang alone, and tens of thousands of people are stationed in places such as Kim Yong City and Heyang City.

Prior to this, these volunteers in Guannan and Western Henan could still rely on their mastery of geography to conduct guerrilla warfare, and occasionally enter the plains of Luoxi to attack the rear of the enemy, but now that Yiyang's defense has become more rigorous and comprehensive, the activity space of these Guannan volunteers has also been greatly compressed.

In the past few days, the destruction of Fuliu City and the death of Li Yisun in battle can be described as heart-wrenching, and the same track defense in the Luoshui Valley is also in jeopardy. Shi Peikuan, the defense minister of the same track, was captured by the Eastern Wei Dynasty before, but fortunately escaped back in the end, and the city lord Wei Fabao could only be trapped in the city and it was difficult to go out of the city.

Even so, under the frequent attacks of Yiyang, it was still necessary to rely on the intrusion of the Guannan Yishi on the enemy's flank, and the same track defense could barely be maintained.

When they learned that Li Tai only led 5,000 steps to ride into the Heluo area, Wei Xuan and the others couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.

Now the strength of their Guannan Yishi is also extremely weak, even if they gather all departments, only three or four thousand men and horses can be mobilized to fight, and there are still less than two thousand garrisons in the same rail defense, and they are stared at at at all immobilized. It is not enough to completely reverse the situation between Heluo and Luo with these forces.

Although the general Li in front of him has always been known for using his troops and being good at creating miraculous results, Wei Xuan and the others have dreamed of turning the tide of the battle because they know too much about the situation between Heluo and Luo, but they have been helpless.

After hearing this, Li Tai also fell into deep thought, it seems that it is not so simple to complete the task assigned by the Chinese and foreign governments.

In the past, he was able to cross Heluo, and he still had all kinds of friendly forces to cooperate, but now the largest force invested by the Western Wei in the entire Heluo side is the men and horses he brought from Jingzhou, but he has to face the Northern Qi army that is several times his own, and he also waits for work and occupies the fortress of Xiongcheng. If this can still be done, Li Taidu feels that he is really awesome.

But if he can't complete the task, not to mention how much impact it will have on the Chinese and foreign governments' plans for the east, it will also have a great impact on him personally.

Now a considerable part of the deterrent power of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion comes from Li Tai's brilliant record of repeatedly strengthening the army and being invincible, once this time he is disgraced and returned to Heluo, although it will not make the situation of the Governor's Mansion collapse immediately, but it will also greatly reduce his prestige, at least he is not as handy as before to do some things, and it takes greater cost and energy to achieve the previous effect.

Take the previous Guanzhong heroes who flocked to invest in Weibei under his call, when they knew that Li Tai's defeat in Heluo would definitely affect their investment plan in Jingzhou, it is difficult to say how much impact it will cause.

It's not that Li Tai can't accept defeat, but now many of his career plans are based on his previous victories, and when this prestige is broken, of course, he will have to bear the corresponding price. Although it will not fall directly, it is inevitable to be anxious.

Seeing that these Guannan righteous teachers don't have any good advice, it seems that they still have to rely on themselves after all.

Li Tai carefully inquired about the distribution area of their respective troops, as well as the frequency and route of these Northern Qi men and horses, although it is certainly different from peacetime in wartime, but it also has a certain reference value.

After listening to the narration of Wei Xuan and others, Li Tai gradually had some preliminary ideas in his heart.

The reason why the Northern Qi Dynasty stationed a large number of people in Yiyang was because of the important geographical location of Yiyang. The geographical location of Yiyang is important because it guards the road from Nankun Road to the Heluo Plain through the Luoshui River Valley. In other words, as long as Yiyang is lost, the Western Wei army will continue to enter the Heluo Plain.

But in fact, even if Yiyang was captured, the Western Wei Dynasty did not have a rear army to send to the Heluo battlefield. Li Tai knew this, but the guards of Northern Qi didn't know. Yiyang is a major line of defense for their key operations in Northern Qi, and it must not be given up unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, Li Tai's mission on this trip was not to capture the city and recover Heluo, but to contain the Heluo defenders as much as possible, so he did not need to capture Yiyang to achieve his goal.

There is a long distance from Yiyang to the rear base in Heyang, as long as the logistics channel of Yiyang is cut off, the morale of the defenders will be shaken, and Heluo will inevitably find a way to respond to Yiyang.

Last time, Li Tai rushed into the Heluo Plain from Hanguan City in Beikun Province, but although the current Hanguan City is not as numerous as Yiyang Jiuqu City, it has also strengthened its defenses, and Han Xiong's men and horses are isolated from guerrilla activities in Xin'an, west of Hanguan City.

It was obviously impossible for Li Tai to occupy Hanguan City to cut off the connection between Yiyang and Heyang as he had done last time, but he quickly thought of another feasible plan, which was the Qianshui River Valley located northwest of Luoyang and backed by the Pishan Mountains.

When Li Tai was stationed in Heyang before, Hu Lujin on the north bank had sent men and horses to cross the river to the south and carry out sweeping attacks from the Qianshui River Valley to Heluo, and there was a situation of overlooking and winning the entire Heluo area.

Li Tai only needs to enter the other place, and he can advance and retreat along the Qianshui, which can not only ensure the safety of his own actions to the greatest extent, but also directly cut off Luoshui, an important material channel for the Northern Qi army!
