Different from the gloomy clouds of the Western Wei army, the soldiers of the Qi army who had just won a great victory were filled with happy smiles on their faces, especially in the tent of Duan Shao, the king of the plains, who was the key to winning this battle, and the generals who came to celebrate were endless.

Compared with the lively popularity in Duan Shao's tent, Hu Lujin's residence, as the main general of the army, is slightly deserted.

In the previous battle, because the offensive of the middle route army of the Western Wei Dynasty was too fierce, Hu Lujin's Chinese army was almost crushed, and even Hu Lujin himself was injured by the arrow, fortunately it was not a big problem, but it was by no means a good experience for an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

Traveling all the way to the south, coupled with the trauma and impact suffered on the battlefield, Hu Lujin's physical condition was also a little poor, so he came to Kim Yong City to stay and recuperate for a while.

"Have you gone to the plain king's tent to congratulate?"

Looking at Hu Luguang, the son of the medicine in front of the bed, Hu Lujin asked.

After hearing this, Hu Luguang's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "It's just a small victory now, the enemy army has not been driven away, and there are still several fortresses that are occupied by thieves, so how can there be a reason to celebrate now!"

Hu Lujin heard that his son's tone was mixed with emotion, so he said with a smile: "The battle a few days ago was not a small victory, the Qiang division was defeated, Duan Xiao really had the merit of setting the situation in this battle, and it was natural for the generals to congratulate him. If you don't go, you'll be different."

After Hu Luguang heard this, the dissatisfaction on his face became even more obvious, and he said in a deep voice: "In the previous battle formation, the Chinese army had obviously ordered Duan Xiaoxian to lead his troops to help in the battle, but he ignored his orders and used the lives of our Chinese soldiers as bait to lure the Qiang division to fight fiercely with me, so that he could steal the fighter plane. Even if there is merit in defeating the enemy, is it not guilty of disobedience? Now the masses are not clear, and the crowd is flocking to the tent, and I want to be different from this group and not to be of the same kind!"

Hu Lujin knew that his son had a pure temperament, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "In the previous battle formation, the Qiang Division's attack was rapid, which made me tired of the current situation and unable to grasp the overall situation. Now that I think about it, it was indeed not the best response plan to order Duan Xiaoxian to bring in the troops to help at that time.

Even if Duan Xiao led his troops to help in the battle, he was only a small thief and a Chinese army, and he might not be able to achieve the brilliant victory he has today. Duan Xiao first supervised a section of his own army, and he took the opportunity to break the enemy as a teacher, even if his actions were different from military orders, he should not be blamed for crimes under the common law."

"But in doing so, he was disregarding the lives of my father and son. If the Chinese army failed to hold on to stubborn resistance and lead the troops to retreat at that time, Duan Xiaoxian's self-assertion would be a clever way to break the enemy, but instead his division would be trapped in battle and become a lone army!"

Hu Luguang naturally had his own judgment on the battlefield situation at that time, although it was said that Duan Shao broke through the enemy's right flank and won the final victory, but the key to the battlefield was that the Chinese army withstood the fierce offensive from the enemy.

After a moment of silence, Hu Luguang said, "I'm not envious of Duan Xiao's victory first, but Aya doesn't have to be humble and self-defeating. At that time, he ordered his army to move closer to the Chinese army, although it was not a plan to win, but it was also a steady idea for the whole of our division and brigade not to suffer a major defeat.

Duan was greedy for self-improvement, disregarding the safety of other departments, and although he won a big victory, he could also be defeated. If the enemy general resisted stubbornly for a short time at that time, I am afraid that our army would have already retreated to Heyang! Victory is a joy, but what causes victory is a fluke, and how can such a victory be celebrated?"

After listening to his son's complaints, Hu Lujin was also silent for a long time, and after a long while, he said, "You think this victory is not enough to congratulate, but I think this is the best situation. Duan Xiao was a great soldier first, and even Emperor Taizu admired and praised him in the old years, even if there was a fluke in this battle, he should not be rigidly blamed. At the moment, he is distinguished by his military exploits, and for me, he is even more relieving!

You have to see things! This time, I brought the army to save Heluo, although it was because of Gu Niansheji's thoughtfulness and discouraged His Majesty from recruiting in person, but I always took matters into my own hands. If this battle fails, the sin is mine. If there is a big victory, who will take the credit? His Majesty the Emperor is strong and resolute, but he is not known for his generosity. The middle of the country is sanctioned by many close relatives, and the old people who work together are the only ones who can be whole. This period of filial piety has to be the first to take the first credit, which is to relieve the burden on my body!"

This time, if His Majesty the Emperor personally led the army to fight, it would undoubtedly send the fortunes of the country to this battle, and if the victory was not enough, the defeat would be very troublesome.

And now that the elders of the country have withered, Hu Lujin can be said to be the only surviving Shenwu Yuancong, and he is also the only minister from the emperor down to have the qualifications, prestige and experience to lead the army to fight against the Western Wei.

But this undoubtedly puts Hu Lujin in a rather delicate situation, once he returns to China after victory, his personal prestige will undoubtedly skyrocket again, and his momentum will be even stronger than before. But it is really difficult to predict how His Majesty the Emperor will feel about this.

For Hu Lujin, the primary goal of this war is naturally to repel the Western Wei army, but if he tries to weaken his sense of presence while achieving this goal, it will be more perfect.

Therefore, Duan Shao was in the limelight in the battle this time, and Hu Lujin was not only not unhappy, but also greatly relieved in his heart.

When Hu Luguang heard his father's words, he frowned and fell silent for a while. He is over forty years old now, and he is in the prime of life, and of course he has his own mature views on people and things, but because his character is relatively pure, even if he can see through some things, he is not willing to give in.

Although his dissatisfaction with Duan Shao was also mixed with some personal emotions, he mainly disagreed with Duan Shao's approach from a military and tactical point of view. He may not have been unaware of what his father said, but he didn't want to pay much attention to it.

"Aya, don't worry, whatever I think in my heart will not be declared in front of outsiders. It's just that after all, there are twists and turns in the world, and Tao Hui has skills that can make people and the light and dust, but it is not my way of life after all. Born to be a husband, he has made meritorious contributions in his own affairs, but he has no shame in his heart, so why should he be afraid to walk alone!"

After saying this, Hu Luguang didn't say anything about it, took his armor, and took care of his father in front of the hall, while personally wiping and maintaining the armor.

In the military camp outside Kim Yong City, the generals gathered in front of the tent not only to congratulate, but also to ask Duan Shao for instructions on various military camp affairs. After the end of the previous war, the commander Hu Lujin entrusted most of the military affairs to Duan Shao on the grounds of poor health.

Duan Shao has been in charge of himself since very early on, so he is naturally not timid about this, and he also handles military affairs in an orderly manner. In the days after the end of that battle, while continuing to maintain the attack on the Western Wei army, he distributed his men and horses to successively recover more than a dozen fortresses previously occupied by the Wei army, and repaired the city defense system between Heluo.

Luozhou Sima Dugu Yongye held the city for many days before, effectively curbed the Western Wei army in Heluo more military operations, to the south to reinforce the army to create a more favorable situation, and at the same time in the decisive battle between the two sides in time out of the city to help the battle, so that Duan Shao more smoothly defeated the enemy, and his people also won Duan Shao's appreciation and attention, every time with the military aircraft, there is a momentum of the Heluo defense should be entrusted.

When the fortifications around Heluo were gradually recovered, the situation between the enemy and us became clear again. After the defeat and retreat of the Western Wei army in Bishan, it was mainly divided into two ways to evacuate, one of which was withdrawn to Xin'an, with fewer troops, and with the gradual recovery of the defense between Gushui and Xiaoshui, it was difficult for this group to make a difference in the next battle.

On the other hand, they retreated to Baiting City near Luoshui to garrison, and there were still tens of thousands of people, so they did not lose the strength of a battle. In order to completely expel it from Heluo, it is still necessary to continue the fighting.

The Western Wei captives captured on the battlefield were said to be the Western Wei Otsuka Zai Yuwentai or died violently, and this news also made Duan Shao and other Northern Qi generals excited. But most of the captives were unfounded, and there was no actual evidence.

Therefore, Duan Shao sent many scouts to roam around Baiting City to inspect the enemy's situation, while preparing for the next counterattack, he also wanted to confirm whether the Yuwen Black Otter was dead or alive, and of course, by the way, spread this situation to increase the panic of the enemy army.

On this day, the scouts suddenly reported that the enemy troops stationed in Baiting City had made another big move, and their troops were pulling out the camp and dressing up, as if they were about to withdraw their troops.

After Duan Shao learned of this situation, he hurriedly entered the city to report to Hu Lujin and ask for instructions, Hu Lujin said that the follow-up military was completely entrusted to Duan Shao to preside, and he still needed to stay here to recuperate, and ordered his son Hu Luguang to also lead his troops to act with Duan Shao.

After obtaining Hu Lujin's authorization, Duan Shaodang led the army to Baiting City, and when he arrived at Baiting, he saw that the enemy army had been reorganized

It's over, and the front has been pulled.

Seeing this scene, Duan Shao sent a cavalry forward to attack and harass, and waited until the enemy's battle was chaotic before attacking with the whole army. And the Western Wei Dynasty had long been prepared for this, seeing that the enemy cavalry was coming to disturb them, even if the team also divided a cavalry team to meet the battle.

The two sides fought in the wilderness, without a winner, just when Duan Shao was going to send more men and horses into the front battle, suddenly a fierce cheer broke out in the Western Wei formation, it turned out that it was the wind rumored that the Western Wei Otsuka Zai Yu Wentai had died personally rode out on horseback to patrol the army, and personally supervised the battle after the town.

With Yu Wentai's public appearance, the frustration of the Western Wei army was also swept away, and the morale became invigorated again, although it was no longer as majestic as before, but the hesitation and fear in each of their hearts were greatly eliminated. And when the Northern Qi people saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, originally they were still looking forward to making greater achievements, but now it seems that their wish is about to be disappointed.

Seeing this, Duan Shao did not give the order to continue the strong attack, the so-called return to the division should not be stopped, when the enemy's division and brigade were out of discipline, he could naturally take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.

But now that Yuwentai has appeared, the suppression of morale caused by various rumors has been swept away, and it is not a wise choice to attack again at this time. So Duan Shao arranged for a cavalry team to track down the enemy's division, and he led the army into Baiting first.
