In the early morning, Yuwen Hu endured his grief and reviewed the books that the armies had gathered here. Previously, due to the collapse of the division and brigade, many battalions and troops had become extremely chaotic, but now during the time they were stationed in Jiuqu City, they finally completed a preliminary reorganization after the war.

There were more than 100,000 horses when the army went out to fight before, but now there are only more than 60,000 left in Yiyang Jiuqu City. Nearly 50,000 soldiers who disappeared were either lost in the Bishan battlefield, or captured by the Qi army, and some fled and scattered.

Yuwen Hu didn't have the energy to worry about longer-term things at the moment, and the many things in front of him alone made him feel anxious. Although the number of troops has been sharply reduced, a full 60,000 horses are stationed in Jiuqu City, and the daily consumption is also very huge.

Especially in the Henan city south of Luoshui, a large number of supplies and baggage have been discarded in Henan City, and the wind and snow have been continuous for several days, so that all kinds of surplus materials are also being consumed at an alarming rate, and heating materials such as firewood and charcoal have been in a hurry for many days.

Although Yuwen Hu lacks the military talent to fight on the battlefield, he is also quite experienced in handling various internal affairs. But many times it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and as time goes by, Yuwen Hu has also felt that he can't maintain it.

At present, the only thing that can be thankful is that most of the rations rationed for this expedition are marching rations, because they are convenient for transportation and storage, and there is no danger of running out of food for the time being. However, the feed used by the war horses has been exhausted for a long time, and many war horses have died of hunger and cold due to lack of food.

"Up to 10 days ......"

After reading all kinds of military affairs, Yuwen Hu secretly estimated in his heart that according to the current situation, if the situation still does not turn around within ten days, if the division and brigade continue to stay in Jiuqu City, the materials will be exhausted, and the soldiers who cannot get enough supplies will also quickly fade in this cold winter and month, and in the end, they may not be able to leave.

Just as Yuwen Hu was still thinking about what strategy he could prolong the time he held on, Wei Chi Gang, who was patrolling the armies outside the mansion, hurriedly rushed into the hall, looked at Yuwen Hu with an angry face and said, "Cousin, it's not a good thing! Da Sima, as well as Da Zongbo, together with several governors this morning, led the troops to evacuate outside Jiuqu City without permission, and went west to Hongnong!"

"Actually, how can this be?"

When Yuwen Hu heard this, he only felt a buzz explode in his head, his hands and feet were a little cold, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How many soldiers did he, they take away?" What is the intention of leaving at this time?"

"They didn't lead a lot of people, otherwise I wouldn't have let them go unnoticed. However, if they flee the front line without permission, they must have ill intentions, and once they return to Guanzhong and seize the authority of the personnel left behind in Guanzhong, how should we deal with it?"

In this cold weather, a fine layer of cold sweat even appeared on Wei Chigang's forehead, and his face turned pale and trembled: "I was worried that if Li Boshan refused to come to the rescue, but instead attacked Guanzhong, what plan should we have? There was no conclusion before, but now that Da Sima and others have abandoned the army and fled, can they conspire with them? If they return to Saitong Pass, then our Kwantung division and brigade will definitely die!"

"Li Boshan is not unrighteous, Uncle believes in him so much, and he still ...... before he dies No, no!"

Yuwen Hu was already in chaos at this time, and he couldn't hold back the fear and anger in his heart, so he couldn't help but scold: "These thieves and slaves are really ruthless! Uncle is newly dead, and they should be in the same boat, but they actually abandoned the army and left, ignoring the overall situation, they really deserve to die, they should die!"

"I can't stay any longer! The thief's plan has been exposed, and if we continue to stay here, there will be no reinforcements coming, once we are trapped internally and externally, we are afraid that we will die without a place to bury!"

Wei Chigang said in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that Da Sima and the others are not far away, and we will also evacuate quickly, if we can return to Tongguan to guard, there is still a little way to make a living." Cousin, you have to make a decision early, and there is a difference between life and death in a single thought!"

Yuwen Hu also took a deep breath after hearing this, and quickly calculated in his mind, but because his mind was disordered, he really didn't have any plans for a while. The words of his uncle's dying words were still in his ears, but the private escape of Duguxin and others filled his heart with a sense of crisis, and he was really burned for a while, and he didn't know what to choose.

After a little muttering, he said again: "Before the news spreads, quickly summon Da Sikong, Yang Pinggong and others to come to discuss the matter!"

The stakes are very high, and it is difficult for Yuwen Hu to make a decision for a while, especially at the moment, his control over the armies is also insufficient, and even if he makes a decision, he may not be able to fully implement it, so he still decided to discuss it with Da Xiwu and other generals and reach a consensus.

Several generals soon came to the mansion, and when they heard that the Great Sima Duguxin and the others had evacuated Jiuqu City, their expressions became very ugly.

"The former lord ordered to retreat to Jiuqu City to wait for reinforcements from Xiangyang. However, now that such a change has occurred, it is probably counterproductive to continue to stay here. Whether to stay or go, I don't know if you can teach me?"

Yuwen looked at a few people and said with a solemn expression, while Wei Chi Gang next to him said, "If anyone still has illusions about the King of Taiyuan's coming to help, they can also stay here and continue to wait."

After hearing this, everyone's faces became more and more ugly, and the dull atmosphere lasted for a while, before Li Yuancai spoke again: "The worry of the Lord is that once he retreats, he is afraid that the division will lose his will and be taken advantage of by the enemy, and besides, it is a long way to return to Guanzhong, so it is better to temporarily lead his troops back to Hongnong. If the king of Taiyuan comes to help, he can still echo it, and if not, he can slowly retreat and the army will not lose his discipline."

After hearing this, all the generals nodded in agreement, and there was nothing better than that.

In many cases, what appears to be stable is actually very fragile, and even the slightest variable can cause the situation to collapse quickly.

Although these generals were still planning a slow and orderly retreat, when the order to evacuate was issued to the battalion, it immediately caused a huge panic in the battalion.

"Why evacuate? Didn't you say that the king of Taiyuan was leading a large army to rescue? Could it be that Otsuka Jae is really no longer alive?"

The campers were full of suspicion, but no one could answer the series of questions, which led to even greater panic.

As a result, many of the soldiers stationed in the barracks outside the city even ignored the military orders of the second promotion, and directly packed up their bags, pulled out of the camp and fled. As people fled without permission, the chaos quickly expanded, and more and more people joined the ranks of the fleeing.

With the formation of the collapse situation, Yuwenhu and the others could no longer control the situation, so they could only quickly gather their cronies and escort Yuwentai's coffin to abandon the city and flee. Even the defenders of the original Jiuqu City were affected by this and joined in the rout.

The large-scale rout of the Wei army in Jiuqu City naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Qi army confronting it, and the relevant situation was soon reported to the Chinese army's big tent.

Duan Shao had been leading his troops to be stationed in the north of Jiuqu City to confront the enemy army, and when he learned of this, he immediately gathered his troops and advanced in the direction of Jiuqu City. The arrival of the Qi army immediately intensified the panic of the Western Wei army, and soon Jiuqu City became an empty city, which was picked up by the Northern Qi.

After entering Jiuqu City, the soldiers of the Qi army were excited. This time, they not only defeated the Western Wei people, completely drove the enemy army out of the Heluo area, and even recovered the Jiuqu City that had been occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty for several years, which can be described as a brilliant result.

Because of the continuous wind and snow in the past few days, and the heavy snow on the road, after entering Jiuqu City, Duan Shao did not arrange personnel to pursue the fleeing Western Wei army for the first time, and this relatively conservative approach also caused some people to be dissatisfied.

The first to question Duan Shao was Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, who came to Duan Shao's tent and asked loudly in front of everyone: "Now that Xiqiang is frightened and flees in a big rout, it is a good time to pursue the enemy and win, why is the king of the plains holding his troops here and holding back?"

Gao Guiyan was guilty of sin, and he hoped that the more brilliant the results of the battle, the better, so that he could avoid being punished when he returned to the country.

"The current situation is blocked by snow and wind, and it is difficult to advance and retreat, but it is not a good time to attack and win. The Qiang division was defeated and fled, and it has been fulfilled. If I am greedy for merit and enterprising, even if I have some victories, it will be difficult to completely avoid this evil!"

Hearing Gao Guiyan's questioning, Duan Shao patiently explained, "What's more, there are rumors that the thief master is still rumored that his country, Li Boshan, will go north to help in the near future. Li Boshan is a fierce enemy of our country, and once we do this, I am afraid that the war situation will be turbulent again, and we need to be on guard."

Although Duan Shao's reasons are very good, they are still there

People didn't agree, in addition to Gao Guiyan, who was eager for great achievements, Hu Luguang also frowned and said, "All the difficulties that the King of the Plains has shown are not reasons to stop the war. The wind and snow are blocking the road, do you trap me alone? Because of this, it will be difficult for the thief to escape, and it is no different from sending off a thief and leaving a disaster behind! As for the thief general Li Boshan, although it is a matter of concern, if it is properly arranged, it will not be enough to keep our army from sending out by virtue of his false name!"

After hearing this, Gao Guiyan also nodded his head again and again, and when he stared at Duan Shao, he said: "If Wang still passively avoids the war, delays the fighter, and sits back and watches the thieves flee away from the attack, when I return to the country, I will tell Your Majesty, the king has the heart to raise a Kou!"

After Duan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a big headache, although he won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, but he didn't dare to ignore Gao Guiyan's threat, this person also falsely killed Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, not long ago, if he really returned to the country to sue him for the black state, it would also make him anxious.

Not only these two people, but the rest of the generals are also eager to fight, after all, they also saw the scene of Wei Shi's rout and escape before, and they are all lively and jumping feats!

Therefore, Duan Shao could only appoint Sima Dugu Yongye of Luozhou to temporarily stay in Jiuqu City, and at the same time asked Wang Gaorui of Zhao County to return to Kim Yong City to coordinate the garrison, and he led the army to continue the pursuit to the west.
