Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

At present, Hongnong City has long been transformed into a huge military camp, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed inside and outside. In addition to the soldiers and horses of Xinbianfu, there are tens of thousands of soldiers accompanying the army.

Judging from the personnel investment alone, this Eastern Expedition can be said to be the largest war since the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, surpassing all previous battles. A few years after the Battle of Mangshan, Daxingtai Yuwentai once again personally led the Kansai troops to the front line.

Of course, this does not count the previous defeat of Zhao Gui, Yuwen Hu and others at Heqiao. After all, Yuwentai had not arrived at the battlefield that time, so there was no need to continue moving forward.

During this expedition to the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yuwentai reversed his previous march route and chose to cross the Yellow River directly from Hongnong and head north, aiming directly at Jinyang, the original base of the Bafu.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of the army's departure, before it reached Hongnong, the general Li Yuan who was stationed here began to organize civilian labor to select a location and build a pontoon bridge.

However, due to the heavy rains in autumn this year, the water level of the Yellow River has been rising for a long time, so the construction of the pontoon bridge was not very smooth. Since Li Yuan was appointed, it has been used a lot, and it was only recently that the pontoon bridge was barely built.

After the pontoon bridge was built, the army did not immediately cross northward. Instead, it first transported part of the military equipment to Jianzhou Carbox City in southern Shanxi to build a base for the army to advance.

At the same time, Mo Chenchong, the Marquis of Zhuguo, also personally led an elite vanguard to cross the river and advance northward, and cooperated with Yang Guo, the governor of Jianzhou, to sweep away the nearby Northern Qi defenders and strongholds to ensure that the army's advancing base was safer and free from harassment. Head straight to Jinyang.

While all the conquests were busy, a letter from Heluo arrived in Hongnong across the Xiaoshan Mountains, and was delivered to Yu Wentai's desk in Daxingtai as quickly as possible.

At this time, Yu Wentai was discussing with several Zhuguo and generals in the big tent in Hongnong City the march route and battle plan after the northern crossing. When he learned that a letter from Heluo had been sent, he temporarily stopped the meeting and smiled. He picked up the letter on the desk and opened it while saying with a smile: "It seems that Jingzhou has broken through Yique's bandit blockade and entered Heluo, so I will send you the good news first. Let me take a look. I won't use it for more than a year. Is this knife dull?" ?”

While speaking, Yu Wentai opened the letter and raised it to his eyes, but his expression soon froze, and there was no new change for a long time.

"Excuse me, Daxingtai, what is said in the letter? Is there something unexpected happening in Heluo?"

Da Sima Duguxin, who also went out with the army this time, saw Daxingtai's expression like this. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was worried about the situation of his beloved son-in-law, so he quickly asked.

Hearing this voice, Yu Wentai came to his senses, but did not respond to Dugu Xin's inquiry. Instead, he read the letter from beginning to end. After arousing everyone's curiosity, he finally read the letter. Putting the letter on the table, he immediately clenched his fist and waved it in front of his face. At the same time, a cheerful smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Heluo is settled!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but become more curious. What is Heluoding? To what extent has it been determined? Could it be said that Li Boshan used his army to drive out all the enemies in Heluo and regain Heluo?

As soon as this idea came up, many people couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads, feeling that this idea was a bit crazy.

Li Boshan was indeed a famous general with both wisdom and courage, and he had great military exploits. However, after the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated and they withdrew from Heluo, the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty took back the place and managed it carefully for several years, with tens of thousands of troops stationed there. Now that their main force in Kansai is still in Hongnong and has not yet crossed the river to go north, even if Li Boshan has a small victory, it is impossible to achieve such amazing results!

However, before they had finished this thought, Yu Wentai had already said with a smile: "Li Boshan has defeated the traitor general Ke Zhuhun Daoyuan in succession, forcing him to flee to Hebei. I own everything south of Heqiao!"

"Hiss...this, is this true?"

Hearing this, a series of gasps and exclamations suddenly sounded in the tent, and Dugu Xin ignored the etiquette and stood up directly and walked to the Daxing desk. He picked up the battle report and read it quickly. Standing on the spot, he burst out laughing: "You've often done amazing things and accomplished world-shaking feats. Now you've quickly conquered Heluo. It's been proven before, so it's not surprising, haha!"

When everyone heard what Dugu Xin said, they all stood up and wanted to circulate the battle report. When Yu Wentai heard Dugu Xin's hearty and cheerful laughter, his joy was greatly reduced. Since it's not surprising, why are you laughing so loudly? Just because of your rude behavior just now, I can kill you for spying on military secrets, believe it or not!

"General Li is really, really the famous general of the country and the nemesis of thieves! With his one brigade, he could clear Heluo and regain his homeland within ten days. The Lord has such a general, and the Grand Sima has such a good son-in-law. They are both Congratulations!”

After passing on the battle report and seeing the results achieved by Li Taijin, the tent suddenly became agitated. Everyone stood up to congratulate Da Xingtai and Da Sima, and Dugu Xin also responded to the compliments. The smiles get happier.

Although Weng's son-in-law does not have the irreplaceable blood relationship as a bond between father and son, he spared no effort to support Li Tai, his son-in-law, and they have a deep relationship with each other. Now Li Tai's meritorious status can also give him With great feedback.

As for Yuwentai, as the leader of the Kansai Bafu, his generals have performed such feats. It can be said that this Eastern Expedition has a very wonderful and beautiful beginning, and naturally he is filled with joy.

Although the letter stated that there were still garrisoned cities such as Jiuqu City in Yiyang that had not yet been recovered, even Zhu Hunyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Qi Dynasty stationed in Heluo, had been defeated and went north. Although the garrison in Jiuqu City was still considerable, It's hard to hold on for too long.

When Yu Wentai originally ordered Li Taibei to enter Heluo, although he had high expectations in his heart, he still did not expect that Li Tai would accomplish so well.

Although Li Tai conquered Heyang Nancheng more than once, the last time was when the situation was very good but the situation was reversed and he suffered a huge defeat.

But this time the situation is different from the last time. Now the army is gathered here to attack the Jinyang Bafu from the north. The loss of Heluo will undoubtedly bring great shock to the Jinyang defenders and increase their panic. Moreover, after Yuwentai experienced the last lesson, he would not make any last-minute changes in generals, and would still entrust Li Tai to make decisions on all matters in Heluo.

Originally, he didn't plan to put too much effort into Heluo, and wanted to concentrate all his efforts on attacking Jinyang. But now that Li Tai has performed so well in Heluo, of course he might as well make a small investment to lock in the victory here in advance.

So after some contemplation, Yu Wentai led 3,000 elite troops with his beloved general Cai You, marched eastward along Nanjiao Road to defend the same track, coordinated with the defenders there, and cooperated with Li Tai's offensive to target Jiuqu in Yiyang. The city launched a pincer attack from both front and back.

Of course, Heluo is only a side battlefield. Even if the breakthrough is huge, it still cannot be said that this battle has been a complete victory. Next, it still depends on how their main army performs.

"Although Heluo Bijian is gratifying for the victory, there are still unfinished achievements that need hard work. The old one, Zhu Hun Daoyuan, planned to cause chaos in Longyou and took the crowd away. He probably did not expect that such a young man under my sect could easily defeat him. Thief. The head is still on the neck, which is really an eyesore. There are also Wanqi, Poliuhan and other thieves, so I should pick it off when I go north!"

Yuwentai himself can't be said to be a tolerant person. He has always kept in mind the hatred for people like Zhu Hunyuan who had defected before. Now he is affected by Li Taiheluo's victory, and he already has a large army in his hands. I was ready to go, and I couldn't help but confide a little at this time.

"General Li has once again achieved great success in Heluo. Although it is because of his talents and ingenious strategies, it can also be seen here that the Gao family, the east bandit, has acted violently and rebelliously. The people's hearts are restless, the people are uneasy, and they have no will to fight. Now he is going north. , there is also special merit waiting for you, you should act bravely!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the big tent was good, Yu Jin also smiled and cheered everyone up. After hearing this, all the generals present raised their arms and beat their chests, saying that they would fight bravely and kill the traitors.

Infected by this atmosphere, Yu Wentai couldn't help but laugh and said: "It is indeed gratifying to achieve meritorious service at a young age. But among those of us who have done it early, we are definitely not the ones who have achieved this level of success by making progress at the same level! Perhaps the world is forgetful and loves newcomers more. , but we are not old and difficult to use. We should let the young disciples look up to the bravery of our predecessors and remain as powerful as before! Tell me, do you dare to fight?"

"Dare to fight! Dare to fight! Go straight to the thief's nest and wipe out the thief's tracks!"

After hearing this, all the generals raised their arms and shouted loudly, and their momentum was very heroic.
