On the night of February 1st of the first year of Wuping, Qi general Xue Guyan led more than a thousand troops to lift the siege of Luoyang, and Yuwen Xian, Duke of Qi of Northern Zhou, retreated.

On the evening of the next day, Huluguang led his three armies to Luoyang. The flag was flew, and the setting sun was like fire, and the black steel river could not see at a glance.

The halo of the setting sun shone on the armor, making the bright red tape even more reddish and dazzling.

But this did not give people a fancy feeling, but instead added a lot of solemnity. No one spoke, but just marched silently with his head raised.

The neat marching formation gives people a sense of oppression like mountains and seas, silent, but once activated, it can destroy all enemies in front of you.

This is the scene that Dugu Yongye saw when he left the city. He opened his mouth wide and could not speak. Xue Guyan was beside him and explained with a smile, "This is a new army formed by His Majesty. It has not been named yet, but it deserves the title of the world's great army..."

Dugu Yongye was increasingly shocked. Can a new army be trained to such an extent?

You know, it is difficult for a unit to develop such murderous aura and quality even if it is only two years on the battlefield.

A new army that has just been formed? Xue Guyan is definitely teasing him.

So after Dugu Yongye's repeated questioning, Xue Guyan told the truth. When he heard that He Shikai was killed, he was already extremely surprised. Then he heard that His Majesty quelled the rebellion of King Langya and took the opportunity to trap all the private soldiers of the ministers. "In this way, this army was actually made up of those guys' private troops?"

Dugu Yongye pointed to the marching steel river and knew it in his heart that the private army of the Xuchen Sect was all brave soldiers who had followed them and had made military achievements in the past, so they were accepted by the Xuchen as the family guards. The head of the family usually brought the family guards to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the brave soldiers with war experience are extremely precious, because these people have been fighting for the rest of their lives, have bravery, high survival rate, and strong combat power.

If Your Majesty uses these fierce soldiers to form an army, then it is normal to have such murderous aura.

While speaking, a knight ran towards them. Qi Lian rushed out of the army and laughed happily: "Hahahaha, are Dugu Bie safe?"

Qi Lianmeng is still the same as Dugu Yongye’s memory. The tall and strong ones are like bear ones, but they are slightly fat and have a few strands of white hair on their temples.

Dugu Yongye felt inexplicably moved and punched Qi Lianmeng's shoulder armor, "Hahahahaha... Wu'er is fine?"

Qi Lianmeng's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he glared at Dugu Yongye fiercely. If it weren't for so many people, Qi Lianmeng would really want to kill Dugu Yongye, the old bastard.

Qi Lianmeng was born in the past, and his ancestor was surnamed Ji. When the Qin Dynasty swept the world, he went to the frontier to take refuge. He lived in the Qilian Mountains for generations and took the mountain as his surname. However, people misled the words of the world, and Qilian became Qilian.

Qi Lianmeng has a very embarrassing small word called Wuer, which sounds like "Wuer". The generals of the Northern Qi army always like to use this to joke about Qi Lianmeng and take advantage of it verbally.

However, as Qi Lianmeng's title became higher and higher in recent years, no one mentioned this matter again. Now Dugu Yongye has raised it again, which makes him very embarrassed.

Dugu Yongye didn't care about Qi Lianmeng's little face. I heard that Qi Lianmeng had been involved in the court recently and was demoted by His Majesty...

Besides, even if Qi Lianmeng was not demoted by His Majesty, Dugu Yongye said it, what can Qi Lianmeng do to him?

Qi Lianmeng seemed to have thought of something, looked at Dugu Yongye with malicious intentions, and said with a smile: "Governor Dugu, please, the left prime minister has been waiting in the central army for a long time..."

The smile on Dugu Yongye's face was put away, "Hulu Mingyue wants to see me?"

He did not call Huluguang the left prime minister, but directly said Hulu Mingyue. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dugu Yongye actually did not like Huluguang.

After hearing this, Xue Guyan knew that Dugu Yongye had a lot of opinions about Huluguang, because Huluguang also disliked Dugu Yongye.

Huluguang is good at this person, but he is too arrogant. Although Dugu Yongye has always been low-key, he is not a master who is willing to be a man of helping others. He is also arrogant.

Two people with similar personalities only have a small chance of sympathizing with each other, and a larger part may be disgusting each other. Dugu Yongye and Huluguang are in the latter case.

Huluguang has tried to establish a good relationship with Dugu Yongye. After all, they are all robes and there are no major conflicts, so he found an excuse to ask Dugu Yongye for two beautiful maids.

In fact, Huluguang is not short of Dugu Yongye's two beautiful maids, but in ancient times, it was very common for good friends to give two maids and beautiful concubines to each other. This shows that you give me a lot of brothers, you can enhance your relationship.

But Dugu Yongye flatly refused, which made Hu Luguang feel very shameless and made Hu Luguang lose face. Can Hu Luguang please him?

The best thing for a proud person like Huluguang is face.

Like last time Gao Wei gave a gift to his father-in-law, Hu Luguang said modestly on the surface that he didn't want it, and even taught Gao Wei a while, but in fact, he still accepted everything with his body honestly. Of course, he might still feel a little secretly happy.

Ignoring Huluguang's ability to march and fight, Huluguang is just like an ordinary father-in-law, with a good face and occasionally he will not be accustomed to some of the things his son-in-law does, picking on this and that, and nitpicking.

He is not a saint, so he is not allowed to have any opinions on others?

Because of this, Huluguang had an opinion on Dugu Yongye, so Dugu Yongye's future in the court became narrower and narrower, until he was finally caught in Luoyang.

This led to Dugu Yongye's senses of contradictory to Huluguang. On the one hand, he admired Huluguang, and on the other hand, he felt that Huluguang was a small person and could not tolerate others.

Not to mention, there are quite a few people who are forced to the opposite side by Hu Luguang's bad temper.

For example, Zu Yi is another living example. Zu Yi originally had no grievances with Hu Lu Guang, but in the end Zu Yi had a feud with Hu Lu Guang because Hu Lu Guang had the habit of sitting in front of the gate in the office. Zu Yi didn't know where Hu Lu Guang was and rode a horse by. Hu Lu Guang immediately saw Zu Yi being unhappy and felt that Zu Yi was arrogant. Zu Yi really had no place to make sense!

But offending means offending. From then on, Zu Qi tried his best to apply eye drops in front of Gao Zhan and the master, until he finally fabricated rumors and successfully killed Hu Luguang.

It is this temper that Huluguang has a bad reputation. Unlike Duan Shao, who has the ability, prestige, and can be a good person, all the heroes are convinced, and no one has ever said Duan Shao is a word. On the contrary, Huluguang, the heroes who have the honors are convinced, but may not respect him.

If Dugu Yongye only went to see Huluguang like this, he would have to be trained by Huluguang, and he would have to be held accountable for his "greed for merit and recklessness" when he was stabbing Kongcheng.

But there is no way, military orders are hard to violate. Even if Dugu Yongye is unwilling to do so, he still has to resist the anger and meet Huluguang.

The 40,000 troops set up a military tent under the city of Luoyang. In the evening, the orchid charcoal fire was burned in Huluguang's tent, and two jars of meat soup were slowly simmered beside the fire pit, and the milky white soup rolled.

Huluguang looked at a map hanging on the book with his hands behind his back, marking many complicated routes.

Dugu Yongye opened the curtain and walked in, and reluctantly bowed to Huluguang, "Left Prime Minister..."

Huluguang tilted his head and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Well, just sit down when you come..."

Only then did Dugu Yongye notice that there were two people in the military tent. He didn't know the middle-aged man who looked taciturn, but wasn't the extremely handsome man sitting in front of him?

He was surprised enough when he saw Xue Guyan and Qi Lianmeng before, but he didn't expect Gao Changgong to be here too.

[The Master is really a big deal!... It seems that His Majesty's plan this time is quite big...] Dugu Yongye was amazed in his heart. This army has three lords and one duke, which is the most luxurious lineup in Northern Qi in recent years.

And why is the high effort for? It is for the high reward! His Majesty put forward such a formation, which should be to teach Northern Zhou a lesson.

Your Majesty has just taken power and is the time when he needs to establish his authority and expand his influence.

When Dugu Yongye thought about this, his mind became more active, thinking about whether he would have the opportunity to participate and show his face in front of His Majesty.

After Qi Lianmeng and Xue Guyan also took their seats, Hu Luguang turned around and said to the five people, "Yuwen Xian is very smart. He ran away before we came..."

His face was as plain as water. Those who didn't know thought that it was not Yu Wen Xian who ran away, but an irrelevant pawn.

"Now, let's talk about what this little bastard Yuwen Xian wants to do?"

"What else can it be? Of course, I can't stand against us. I'll run away..." Qi Lianmeng said carelessly.

Dugu Yongye rolled his eyes secretly. Qi Lianmeng was sometimes very clever, and sometimes he spoke without any brains.

Fu Fu thought about it and replied cautiously: "Yuwen Xian retreated so quickly and had no intention of fighting with our army. On the surface, he was afraid of us... but... he just thought it was not that simple. Yuwen Xian was quite well-organized in using troops. Since he had gathered more than 100,000 people to siege Yiyang and Luoyang, he retreated without even fighting, which was not reasonable..."

Dugu Yongye agreed, "Yes, even if I am, I always want to try my luck if I can't beat him, let alone Yuwen Xian has an army of 100,000! I'm not afraid of us at all!"

Qi Lian suddenly realized that when he was regretting, he heard Dugu Yongye say this, rolled his eyes secretly, and cursed in his heart, "Following the Horse!"

Gao Changgong thought for a while and said, "Mo Jiang analyzed it before coming. Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has created such a formation, it is impossible for a small fight under Luoyang City to be a small fight. Besides, Yu Wen Xian is quite talented. Mo Jiang thinks that Yu Wen Xian retreated, and he should have prepared a killer move to wait for us."

Hu Luguang refused to say anything, but just looked at Gao Changgong with a faint look of appreciation in his eyes, "Then tell me what did Yuwen Xian prepare for us?"

Gao Changgong stood up, Hu Luguang took a step back and gave the map to him. Gao Changgong looked at the map seriously, pointed to a place and said, "I think Yuwen Xian's next move is here!"

Everyone looked closely and said that the place where Gao Changgong gave guidance was the east of Yiyang - Dinglong!

Huluguang paused for a while and asked, "What are the evidences for this speculation?"

Gao Changgong said: "Yuwen Xian built a city around Yiyang, isolated Yiyang, and then attacked Luoyang with the trend. If Luoyang is lost, Yiyang cannot be saved. If Luoyang is saved, Yuwen Xian can still retreat to Yiyang to deal with our army. This is the so-called rescue of the enemy. Yuwen Xian created such a large formation and would definitely not want to return without success. He must have a trick waiting for us. Just wait for us to save Yiyang, and he will fight us here. If he wins this battle, not only will my great Qi lose morale, but he can also take advantage of the great victory to return to the army and take down Luoyang in one fell swoop!"

Qi Lianmeng and others took a breath. Yuwen Xian had such a big plan?!

Even Dugu Yongye, who had always been steady, frowned, "Left Prime Minister, Dinglong is the hinterland of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He has accumulated a lot of troops. If we go there to fight the Zhou army, the situation will be unfavorable to our army..."

Huluguang waved his hand indifferently, looked at the map and laughed boldly:

"What are you afraid of? I just want to hit their hometown and slap them hard!

Hindu? Give me tens of thousands of people to you, and I dare to fight all the way to Chang'an!"

He restrained the smile on his face and looked at everyone, his face becoming extremely serious, "You all listened, and ordered the troops to start the next morning!

If Yuwen Xian wants to destroy me in Dinglong, I will teach him an unforgettable lesson!"
