Han Chang's disastrous defeat also completely shattered the last bit of cohesion and morale of the Northern Di coalition forces.
The commanders were at odds, food and fodder were scarce, and the army was demoralized...
The Langyu Camp was on the brink of collapse, and panic, anger, and suspicion spread rapidly like a plague.
After Han Chang escaped back, he felt a little guilty at first, but he quickly recovered.
Instead of reflecting on his own mistakes, he blamed the failure on Tuoba Xiong's "ineffective rescue" and even pointed at Tuoba Xiong's nose and scolded him in front of many generals.
Tuoba Xiong's face turned ashen, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the hilt bulged. The generals under his command were even more furious and almost drew their swords against him.
Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
"Han Chang! You've suffered such a crushing defeat, and you still have the nerve to bark like a dog here?" One of Tuoba Xiong's trusted generals finally couldn't help but shouted.
"If you hadn't been so stubborn and refused to listen to our advice, you wouldn't have fallen for Zhao Muyun's scheme and lost tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"You still have the nerve to ask for help? If it weren't for General Tuoba holding the camp firmly, I'm afraid we would have lost even this last foothold by now!"
The generals brought by Han Chang were not willing to be outdone. The two sides quarreled endlessly, and the argument was about to escalate into a fight.
“That’s enough!”
Tuoba Xiong slammed the table with a thunderous sound, forcibly suppressing the noise in the tent.
He stared at Han Chang, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, but he finally suppressed it.
Internal strife at this moment is tantamount to self-destruction.
"General Han has just suffered a defeat, so his emotions are understandably agitated. Now that we face a formidable enemy, we must unite and overcome this difficult situation together! Anyone who stirs up internal strife will be subject to military action!"
He forcibly suppressed the conflict temporarily, but everyone knew that this fragile balance could be broken at any time.
The Jinyang spies who had infiltrated the camp took advantage of this opportunity and intensified their activities.
Rumors, whether true or false, such as "Han Chang wants to seize military power and liquidate Tuoba Xiong's old subordinates" and "Tuoba Xiong has secretly contacted Jinyang and is preparing to use Han Chang's head as a token of his allegiance" were quietly spreading in every corner of the camp.
