On the same day, the rising sun rises in the east, the north and south of the river, and the cliff of Zhukou Mountain is magnificent.

On the small city of Jiangsui on Liang Mountain in Liyang, fireworks were the first to be lit.

After a while, the small town of Bowang Mountain on the other side of the river also lit fireworks in response.

These two mountains, one north and one south, across the river opposite, look at it like a door, it is the famous "Tianmen Mountain" on the Yangtze River.

After the fireworks responded to each other, the Wu Yi soldiers gathered at Hengjiangpu in Liyang, lined up the soldiers and horses, and Guo Zaizhen, whose neck was slightly crooked, stood on the earthen platform under the banner of Pixiu after the military salute, and told the whole army the true direction of the attack:

"The town of the navy made Li Qi cruel and cruel, so that the bandits in the territory swarmed, and the lives were ruined, and the Duke of Wei Guogong admonished him many times, but Li Qi did not repent, and he did not repent of evil. Now the quarrying army on the other side of the river is clearly following the trend of rebellion, and is willing to welcome our sons and daughters, on behalf of the Duke of Wei Guo to conquer Li Qi, everyone can move forward, and after crossing the river, they will slam Stone Town and Jingkou, and also declare the peace of the fifteen states of Yue. ”

Then Guo Zaizhen raised a sword and shouted, "This is the Yunfu sword given by Wei Gong, which can behead the fierce and stubborn head and rescue Li Shu!" ”

"Behead the Fierce and Stubborn!" All the soldiers of the Wuyi Army were ready to go out and were willing to gather under the banner of the Duke of Wei Guo to defend the royal road.

Later, in the rising beacon smoke on both sides of Tianmen Mountain, the large and small ships of Liyang and quarrying came and went: many local people and businessmen in Xuanzhou had long been resentful of Li Qi's tyranny, so they took the initiative to row boats, carrying soldiers, ammunition, war horses and artillery of the Wuyi Army.

On the top of Bowang Mountain, Wang Qizhen also stood on it, and his 3,500 quarrying troops were all willing to obey the orders of Wei Guogong, and he himself called himself "the envoy of the camp in the west of Zhenhai", and was willing to be the vanguard of the crusade against Li Qi.

When Wu Yi's army crossed the river, it merged with the quarrying army, crossed the northeast boundary of Dangtu, and began to advance rapidly towards Stone Town.

Liu Zan, the Xuanzhou Assassin, Pan Fengshi, and the Wuzhou Assassin Liu Mian all said that they "protect the territory and the people", not only did not resist the Wu Yi Army, but also secretly mobilized the people, and provided rice and tea to the Wu Yi Army and the Quarrying Army in groups, and the people heard that Huainan Weiguo Gong had come to arrest Li Qi, and they were also elated, and they were all enthusiastic to supply the army;

And the entire Xuanshe territory of the tea barons, salt bandits, thousands of arms, also came to volunteer to Gao Yue's Wu Yi army to take the lead, fill the wings, the south of the Yangtze River is many mountains and streams and wild crossing, this group of people are all standing on the "rafts", these rafts are called "green dragons", "light horses", driving like flying, with the tea bars and salt robbers from various waterways converge to Danyang Lake, and then they occupy the lake, to Wu Yijun is to transport grain, tea, and herbs, but also form a volunteer team, to the stone city to explore and reconnoitre.

Li Qi of Stone Town was shocked when he heard of this drastic change, and hurried east to report to Jingkou.

Li Qi was also stunned with fright, sat on the bed, and did not say a word for a quarter of an hour.

The group of staff members under his command who usually slapped horses and whiskers were even more frightened and ran around in the courtyard, screaming, some wanted to defend the entrance of Dantu Jingkou, some wanted to fight in Stone City, and some had to report to the emperor of the court first, waiting for the decision.

At the critical moment, the veteran Bai Liangqi came in and said angrily to Li Qi, now that the imperial court has deposed Gao Yue, and Wang Qizhen has led Wu Yijun to chaos my Xuanrun territory, and the soldiers have threatened Stone City, but why are you so silent?

"When Han Jin Gong was here, how could Huainan and Xu Si's Xiaoxiao dare to despise our town navy so much!"

This sentence really stimulated Li Qi, he suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Gao Yue, this is a trapped beast...... Our town navy is willing to be the first in the world and crusade against Gao Yue! ”

"Gao Yue believed that he had the great merit of eliminating Xifan and pacifying Huaixi, and harbored evil intentions like Wang Dun and Huan Wen. Please brave the difficulties, send troops from Jingkou, and go to Stone Town to personally levy. Bai Liangqi pleaded.

Then Bai Liangqi said: "With my Danyang army guarding the flanks, please rest assured!" ”

As soon as he heard "the Danyang Army guards the flanks", Li Qi faintly felt a chill rising in his front and back, but he couldn't tell clearly.

At this moment, several henchmen and staff members came to Li Qi's side and reminded him of this.

In fact, with Wang Qijun's rebellion, now Li Qi has also begun to be suspicious of Bai Liangqi.

If he took the tooth army to Stone City, and Bai Liangqi's Danyang army would stay behind to rebel and welcome the other Wuyi troops in Yangzhou on the other side, what would it do?

But if I lead the Yaqi army to stay behind and send the Bai Liangqi Danyang army to Stone City, can I beat Gao Yue's soldiers and horses for the time being, what if Bai Liangqi also defects and leads the troops to Gao Yue's side?

At this time, the other two highly qualified generals in the Han Rong era, Qiu Cen and Qiu Chi brothers, stepped forward and said: "Gao Yue is now completely desperate, and there is no need to rush to defeat the thief army that invaded Stone City, it is better to go out and show off his martial arts to the east of Shangyuan Stone City, deep ditch and high base, as long as the imperial court disposes of Gao Yue, the thief army will be defeated without a fight, and our side will pursue it again and win a complete victory." ”

In this way, Li Qi made up his mind to let Bai Liangqi's Danyang army be the vanguard, and he commanded the hard soldiers and the Fan Luo soldiers to live in the center, and after Gongsun Jue led 4,000 Hague sergeants to die, he rushed to Stone City. As for Jingkou, it was handed over to his own disciples of the Fourth Academy.

After the generals retreated, some staff persuaded Li Qi that although Xuanxi's assassination history did not say it explicitly, it was actually the same as Wang Qizhen, which was equivalent to throwing himself into Gao Yuefang, so the movements of Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other large counties in the east of Runzhou Jingkou were also very suspicious and unstable.

"I'm also worried about this matter, but I'm the state's envoy here, so where is the reason to be suspicious of the assassin who was also appointed by the imperial court? Not to mention killing at will. ”

Li Qi rejected the advice of his staff, believing that as long as he could repel Gao Yue's military horses in Stone Town, the whole situation would be stable.

Soon, the beacon fire was flying in the area of Jinghyeon Mountain, and Li Qi's army began to march westward.

Around Jinling Stone Town, Huainan and Xuanrun, the two major Jianghuai Xiong towns, finally continued from the political struggle to the armed conflict.

On the bright side, the court struggled, Pei Yanling and Li Qiyun on Li Qi's side, with the help of their special relationship with the emperor, completely defeated Du Huangshang and Lu Zhen on Gao Yue's side.

However, from the moment Gao Yue decided to move his troops, the game of cards seemed to be reversed again.

The military victory or defeat instantly began to determine the ups and downs of the court.

Wu Yijun's solitary walk first shook the two feudal towns of Xuanwu and Wuning between Huaibian, Dong Jin and Zhang Jianfeng suddenly didn't know what to do, and then the loyal and righteous army of Shannan Dongdao made Yu Di, and the Eyue Wuchang army made Yan Zhen, who was also stunned and inexplicable.

Then the Zhongwu Army, the Eastern Capital, the first line to the west, the news one after another, instantly relayed to the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

In the Jinluan Palace, Pei Yanling trembled like a sieve, and said to the emperor, Gao Yue has rebelled!
