The Dongshu army in Yangling is not having a good time, and the people in the Eastern Capital are also having a hard time.

At this time, the entire Western Capital was under the control of Ouyang Lingchuan and the forces of King Wei, and countless spies and recalcitrant people were dragged to the execution ground and beheaded every day.

In just a few days, the subordinates who were loyal to Ouyang Zhongyi before, under such a cruel and bloody suppression, finally learned to be obedient, and no longer stupidly hit the muzzle of the gun, and those who were still thinking about luck before also immediately stopped thinking and watched from the wall.

However, Ouyang Zhongyi ruled the Eastern Capital for half a year, and the aftermath was already deep, even if Ouyang Lingchuan deliberately cut out his wings, it still could not damage his foundation in the Eastern Capital.

Although Ouyang Zhongyi is famous for killing gods on the battlefield, he has also gained a lot of experience in dealing with court politics and specializing in power and conspiracy over the years, so most people don't look well at Ouyang Lingchuan who lives in the Dongshu Palace with conspiracy, and they also know in their hearts that as long as Ouyang Zhongyi comes back, he will definitely not end well, so although the courtiers of Dongshu are respectful to him on the surface, no one is willing to serve him in private.

Ouyang Lingchuan naturally knew what everyone was thinking.

But he seemed to pretend not to know, and still every day in the early dynasty, the inner attendant read out a few people who had frequent movements in the dark, and then let people drag them to the execution ground for disposal.

That indifferent attitude didn't care about the chaos in the Dongshu court, and then turned away in the panicked eyes of the courtiers.

It seems that he has long been out of his mind about this Dongshu.

And as soon as he left, King Wei also left.

Although King Wei cooperated with Ouyang Lingchuan, they had always maintained the same tacit understanding in this matter.

In their opinion, the more chaotic Dongshu is, the better.

There was no one to preside over the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and several courtiers who were quite favored by Ouyang Zhongyi and could be in charge were either killed or dismissed, and Dongshu, which was already unstable in the court, suddenly became a mess and became a pot of porridge.

The full-time general was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and his son Mu Yi was in charge of the military camp under the emperor's will, but because he was still young, his qualifications were still shallow, and he had no military merits, he was immediately accepted by the old subordinates who accompanied him from birth to death.

Mu Yi was proud in his heart, he didn't want to be looked down upon, so when he received Ouyang Zhongyi's holy decree, he immediately led the team to continue to move forward.

At this time, they had already walked for two days, and it stands to reason that as long as they marched for one day, they would be able to reach the eastern capital before tomorrow evening.

Thinking that he could no longer stand on his father's halo and stand alone to eliminate traitors for the king, Mu Yi felt a sense of pride in his heart, and he was looking forward to the day that was coming, and he couldn't help but order a night march.

Because Mu Yi suddenly parachuted into the post of acting general, the person who used to take care of Mu Yi for three points suddenly changed his face, so no one reminded him.

The soldiers who had been running around for days dragged back to the place where they were camped, and they all thought they could sleep well, but as soon as they got into bed, they were blinded by the news that Mu Yi was going to march overnight.

Thinking of this, the crowd once again stirred up uneasily.

But as soon as they thought of the seriously injured and unconscious general, they fell silent again.

Mu Yi didn't notice the eyes of everyone who had changed, but was just immersed in his thoughts excitedly.

After a night of marching, Mu Yi finally led an army of 300,000 and arrived at Fuchi Mansion, which was only fifty miles away from the eastern capital, early in the morning.

Mu Yi first ordered people to rest for a while, and then he was marching towards the eastern capital without stopping, but before he could walk ten miles, suddenly when he passed through a mountain col, a rain of arrows fell from the head, and at the same time, the rocks on both sides of the mountains also rolled down one after another.

Before the Dongshu army could react, it was caught off guard by the sudden ambush in the valley.

Everyone knows that Ouyang Lingchuan's original forces were all killed by Ouyang Zhongyi when they failed to seize the throne, and now he can control the capital of Dongshu, and it is completely relying on the 50,000 personal soldiers in the hands of King Wei's mansion.

Looking at the swarthy hilltop, the lush trees obscured the sight, making it impossible to tell how many enemy troops there were.

But the people in front of him who were dizzy and smashed by the rocks were wailing.

Mu Yi was dumbfounded, then came back to his senses, and immediately ordered to withdraw from the col.

Since they were attacked shortly after entering the col, the number of people who entered the col was only a few tens of thousands at most.

The people who entered the col were broken in pieces, and the army that had not yet entered only heard a wail, so when Mu Yi ordered the retreat, they did not hesitate, turned around and walked outside.

Although Mu Yi's order was fast, it was not a moment or a half for the 300,000 army to retreat, so none of the soldiers who had entered the col before escaped without resistance.

Mu Yi was shocked in his heart, regretting that he should not be careless, so he rashly entered such a place where the enemy army was easy to set up ambushes.

As soon as he left the division, he lost 10,000 or 20,000 people before he could confront the enemy head-on, and Mu Yi was a little impatient.

The lieutenant generals became more and more dissatisfied with Mu Yi's eyes, Mu Yi knew it in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

He ordered the whole army to repair, and then ordered the spies to go and investigate the situation of the enemy forces in the col.

If you suffer a loss, you must always learn to be smarter.

But after sending several spies one after another, after waiting for a long time but no one came back, I think something must have happened to me, and the eyes of those present were solemn.

Mu Yi didn't dare to trade in, but he couldn't wait, this time, he decided to ask the opinions of others, after all, his own experience was indeed inferior to them.

But when Mu Yi asked, everyone had different opinions.

On the one hand, the enemy believes that they are playing tricks, so they start attacking as soon as the army enters the col, for fear that their numbers will be exposed, while the other side believes that the enemy army just wants everyone to think that their numbers are small, so that people can let down their guard, and finally give people a head-on blow when they are not aware of it.

Everyone insisted on their own words, who said who was reasonable, Mu Yi had a headache, and finally waved his hand, and decided to set up camp today and make a decision tomorrow.

At night, Mu Yi and the lieutenants did not sleep, they agreed that after today's battle, they would definitely take advantage of the exhaustion of the army to come to attack, so they decided to wait for the rabbit.

But they waited all night, but no movement came.

After a night of sleep, everyone was very tired, and then the spies sent out again to inquire about the situation returned, and reported that the col was empty at this time.

Hearing this, the people present were all depressed, tired all night, and were tricked, not to mention, they didn't even touch the figure of the enemy army.

The group of people went on the road again angrily, with the previous lesson, they were more cautious along the way, stopping and stopping, all the way, the road that originally only took half a day, was delayed until two days later.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, everyone was tired and wary along the way, and the people who had attacked them before seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
