Tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed inside and outside Baiting City, but the atmosphere was dull and depressing. The soldiers were mostly taciturn. There was no noise when they came in and out, and there was deep worry in their eyes.
The city lord's palace in the inner city is lined with soldiers and is heavily guarded. Anyone who enters or exits must verify their identity, and no unrelated persons are allowed to approach this place.
In the mansion, there are also three posts and one sentry, five steps and one sentry, without any blind spots for defense. And an attic in the inner mansion is surrounded by members of the army, and the defense is maintained day and night.
In the attic hall, Yu Wenhu, whose eyes were bloodshot, although he looked extremely tired, still managed to cheer himself up and listened to Yu Chigang's description of the current situation of the armies.
"After Da Situ evacuated the battlefield that day, he temporarily retreated to Xin'an. Fortunately, the enemy's response was slow, and more than 6,000 soldiers were able to escape from the battlefield..."
On the day of the battle, after Zhao Gui's troops were defeated and evacuated, the situation on the battlefield was greatly deteriorated. As Yuwentai fell ill and fainted, the Western Wei army suddenly became even more panicked.
Yu Wenhu and others simply did not have the preparation or ability to take over the command of the army and continue fighting. In addition, they were worried about Yu Wentai's safety, so they just subconsciously fled the battlefield at that time.
And because the enemy cavalry pursued so fiercely, they did not even dare to return to Henan City where they were stationed before. They fled all the way from the battlefield to Baiting City dozens of miles away, and then barely managed to gain a foothold.
Afterwards, the armies that retreated on the battlefield gradually gathered here, but because the battle situation that day was so dangerous and chaotic, they have not yet sorted out the specific battle losses and the number of remaining troops.
"Uncle's life or death is still uncertain. The armies are scattered and not at peace. There are still bandits watching from the side. What is the current plan?"
Thinking of the bad situation he was facing now, Yu Wenhu felt at a loss. If he had encountered such a situation in junior high school, he would still have the confidence to try to clean up the situation. But now he is on the front line of Heluo, and after the army's new defeat, there are
The enemy army was not far away, and even if he wanted to save the situation, he felt that he was unable to do so.
After hearing this, Yuchigang also sighed deeply, frowned and said: "Mr. Yang Ping and others are temporarily stationed outside the city. They have sent people to ask for permission several times. If they continue to shirk and refuse, the public will probably be even more surprised. But now my uncle is like this
What will happen if we meet you?"
The two of them were still sighing helplessly, when suddenly someone in the inner room shouted: "Mr. Zhongshan, Gong Pingchang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!"
After hearing this, the two of them jumped up from the seats and rushed into the inner room.
Within the curtains of the inner room, Yu Wentai's body was buried deep in the quilt on the bed, his face was still gray and haggard, his sunken eyes looked at the curtains hanging on the couch numbly, and he only let out some faint noises in his mouth.
Voice.
"Uncle, uncle, how do you feel? Where is it hard?"
Yu Wenhu came closer to the couch, and when he saw his uncle's lifeless look, his eyes became hot, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he shouted softly with sobs in his mouth.
Yuwentai's expression was still blank, as if he had not heard his nephew's call. After Yuwenhu called a few times but received no response, he turned to look anxiously at the several doctors who had been treating Yuwentai indoors.
"You, are you Sabao? Sabao, the Emperor of Luoyang is coming to Guanxi, so you must be ready to welcome him! The Emperor is going to the west, and I will be prosperous..."
At this time, Yu Wentai noticed Yu Wenhu next to the couch. He frowned and looked carefully. He raised his arm but fell down again.
Yu Wenhu was overjoyed when he heard his uncle speak, but immediately became worried after hearing the content. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, stepped forward, held Yu Wentai's hand and said tremblingly: "Ah
Uncle, uncle, the emperor has arrived in Kansai, so I don’t have to worry about him to welcome him. Uncle, do you still remember where we are now?"
After hearing this, Yu Wentai was a little confused. He frowned in deep thought and groaned in a low voice. After a moment, his body trembled and he shouted in a low voice: "Mangshan, Mangshan! The division and brigade were defeated.
Heartache... There is a young man named Li Boshan who came to Mixi from Gaozhong. Li Boshan is a good young man, handsome and talented. Boshan is lost in Mangshan..."
At this time, both Yu Wenhu and Yu Chigang also noticed that Yu Wentai had just woken up, and his memories and thoughts were all confused, and they could not sort out a clue at all.
But as long as people wake up, it is a great joy. Although it makes them feel sad to see Yuwentai still thinking about Li Boshan in this state, they don't want to do anything to Yuwentai at this moment.
Under the pressure, Yu Wenhu endured his grief and said: "Uncle, don't think too much, don't think too much. I will go and take a look at Li Boshan one day to see what he is like."
Yu Wentai's vision became scattered again, he leaned back on the bed, and after a moment he suddenly said leisurely: "Zhao Yuangui is my best friend. Since I have a request, I can't let him down. But Li Boshan is so beloved that it's hard to let go."
, the women in the household are all too childish, even if they are worthy, it is difficult to show kindness. What a pity, what a pity! How about we call her into the house and treat her as a pretender? "
Hearing that Yu Wentai was still indulging in the memories related to Li Boshan, Yuchigang next to him suddenly couldn't hold himself back. He stepped forward and said sadly: "Uncle, please wake up! Li Boshan is so ambitious that he has already betrayed the government. Uncle
In order to control him, I led my army eastward..."
"Bora, shut up!"
Yu Wenhu saw that his uncle's expression became excited after hearing what he said, and he hurriedly yelled to stop Yu Chi Gang from talking any more.
However, at this time, Yuwentai held his head and cried loudly in pain. Seeing this, the two of them panicked again and hurriedly asked the doctors to come forward for diagnosis and treatment.
In this way, a full half hour passed. The doctors used various treatments such as warm ironing, moxibustion, etc., before Yuwentai became calm again. After all this trouble, Yuwentai became even more calm.
He was haggard, but his eyes were brighter than before. He raised his eyelids and looked at Yuwen Hu feebly: "Have you captured and killed Hu Lujin?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu knew that his uncle's thoughts had finally returned to normal, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the faint expectation in his eyes, he still couldn't help but lowered his head in shame.
He said: "Because I was worried about my uncle's safety, I immediately left the battlefield..."
"When the situation has reached that point, there is no need to worry about my safety! If we can capture and kill the enemy general, we may not necessarily lose!"
After Yu Wentai heard this, he closed his eyes, sighed, and then asked again: "What is the situation now? Where are you now?"
"All the armies have withdrawn. Although they have not won, the losses are not great. All the generals are waiting outside the mansion to be summoned by uncle..."
In order to prevent Yu Wentai's mood from experiencing any further violent fluctuations, Yu Wenhu briefly discussed the current situation while avoiding the most important matters. Of course, the specific battle losses could not be revealed in full.
Yuwentai had been listening with his eyes closed. After Yuwenhu finished his report, he did not open his eyes or speak. He seemed to be asleep, and he seemed to be silently digesting the information.
After seeing this, Yu Wenhu was about to leave temporarily, but he heard Yu Wentai give instructions: "Bring Li Wansui to see you, and bring Liang Xiande to see you."
Yu Wenhu was not surprised when his uncle woke up and wanted to see Li Yuan, but when he heard that he was specifically called to see Li Yuan, he was still a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. After exiting the hall, he quickly ordered the two men to be summoned.
Come in here and see you.
Soon the two came here, and the first thing they said when they saw Yu Wenhu was to ask quickly: "Mr. Zhongshan, how is the situation of the Lord?"
Yuwenhu did not answer the two people's questions, but just led them into the attic. At this time, Yuwentai was closing his eyes to rest. After a while, the two of them were called in. Yuwentai first glanced at Li Yuan, and then used his eyes to
Signaling Liang Rui to come forward, he whispered: "Go to Xiangyang quickly and pass on my order. Li Boshan will immediately lead his army from the north of Sanya Road to Heluo to rescue Wang Shi and save the overall situation!"
"This, this... Your Majesty, did you ask King Taiyuan to come here to help in the battle?"
After hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, and Liang Rui also looked hesitant and puzzled, and stepped forward to confirm in a low voice whether the meaning was correct.
Yu Wentai's eyelids drooped slightly, and although his tone was weak, he continued firmly: "Although Boshan and I have differences, we have the same ambition to conquer the east and destroy the bandits! The old man was his confidant, and now he is behind him to recruit him.
It will come and it will be done!"
"Uncle, Li Boshan is so ambitious..."
When Yu Chigang heard this, he looked unwilling, but before he finished speaking, Li Yuan took a step forward and said: "Pingchang Gong, please be patient and calm. Your Majesty, please explain calmly!"
"This time I advance lightly, I win first and then lose. I am careless in planning, and I am no different from others. The thieves are powerful, and there is no time to compete here. The thieves may have known about me before I fainted, and they may not be willing to let my army take it easy.
Evacuate.
Now all the troops are Guanxi natives. If they retreat slightly, they will probably swarm into the Guan. It will be more difficult to stabilize the rear line. For the time being, we will retreat to Yiyang, and the army will remain stationary. Only Li Boshan can calm the situation inside and outside.
Everyone knows that when their troops are here, you can slowly withdraw them!"
Yuwentai looked at Yuwenhu and Yuchigang who looked shocked and puzzled. After saying these words, he became a little tired. He closed his eyes for a moment and then said: "When Li Boshan's army arrives, if I
He is no longer alive, Otsuka Chief Seal has paid it, don’t argue with me, don’t argue with me... I owe God’s favor, my children must not force themselves to cause trouble, remember this!"
At this point, he tried to open his eyes again. There was a bit of cold warning in his eyes, which moved on the faces of Yu Wenhu and Yu Chigang. When the two men nodded, Yu Wentai closed his eyes again, feeling a little weak.
He said: "Mr. Yang Ping will stay here as a guard, and the military affairs will be temporarily paid to the rest."
After hearing this, Li Yuan quickly lowered his head and replied: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely stay in the guard and follow my lord to return to the mansion to take care of things!"
