"Your Majesty, the rebel general Zhang Xiuwei received holy training, and realized that anyway, General Song and Zhi Jinwu took advantage of the situation to send troops, and attacked with them inside and outside, defeated the Zuo Fengyi rebels, and beheaded the thief chieftain Li Heng and Li Xian, Wang Shi Kesheng, Lubu reported the victory, and Chang'an has no worries in the east!"

Yang Qi hurriedly bowed to Liu Xie, who unexpectedly appeared at the door of the palace, and the words in his mouth were also very excited.

"Good, great good!"

Liu Xie slapped his hands in admiration when he heard this, and under the joy of joy, regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he stepped forward to help Yang Qi, who hurriedly bowed down, and said excitedly:

"This is all the work of all Aiqing!"

Yang Qi and Chong Ji didn't dare to take it seriously, Liu Xie was still immersed in this long-awaited good news, overjoyed, and urged Yang Qi to say more details about the good news in the east.

Yang Qi immediately told the young son of heaven in detail about the content of this victory:

It turned out that Zhang Xiu, who was brave enough to be self-assured, did not get much of the benefits promised by Li Ru after betraying Guo and surrendering to Li, and Li Dao placed him in the land of the West River, just because he wanted to use him to deal with the soldiers and horses in Hedong across the river.

During this period, he was also squeezed out and suppressed by Li Heng, Li Xian and other children of the Li family who were stationed in Zuo Fengyi.

Therefore, when Liu Ai secretly sneaked to Zhang Xiu's army with an edict, Zhang Xiu saw the promises of today's son about official titles, titles, jurisdictions, etc., coupled with Liu Ai's righteous temptation, after thinking about it for a while, he decisively chose the way anyway.

Subsequently, Liu Ai, who had agreed on the signal, returned to Song Guo's military camp, Song Guo and Fu Wan took the opportunity to march, and Zhang Xiu also took advantage of the situation to instigate Feng Yiqiang, Shen Shiqiang and other Qiang Hu cavalry who were forcibly recruited by Li Heng to rebel.

In the melee, Li Heng was killed by the rebels on the spot, and when he was chasing the north, Zhang Xiu took a light horse and captured and killed Li Xian, who wanted to flee to help the wind.

The enemy in the east of Chang'an has disappeared overnight.

Liu Xie listened attentively to Yang Qi's account of the war, during which he was so excited that he clenched his fists tightly, and only after listening to the whole process of winning the battle did he come back to his senses, and then he clapped his hands in admiration.

The imperial court promised Zhang Xiu's official position and title, this matter, Liu Xie has unconsciously ignored the past, what he wants to know most now is the war in the west, but there is good news again.

After getting the good news of the great victory over the rebels in the east, Liu Xie had already regained a lot of confidence, and he was even more eager to look forward to the good news that Yang Ding and Dong Cheng in the west could also send him the good news of the defeat of Li Dao.

Looking at the look of concern on the face of the young Tianzi, he smiled and said preparedly:

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much about Western military affairs. Yang, Dong Erjun, are all battlefield generals, and was originally a lieutenant general of the Xiliang Army, familiar with the enemy's situation, build a fortified fortification, the military newspaper has repeatedly repelled the rebel attack, I believe that after getting the good news from the East, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted, and the soldiers are eager to fight, and after converging the victorious army in the east, the thieves will be determined! ”

Liu Xie listened to the words of Chongji, his face could not hide the joy, he seemed to see the scene of his Zhongxing Han room in his mind again, and couldn't help muttering:

"That's good, that's good, if that's the case, the Han family is hopeful!"

···

While the monarchs and ministers standing at the door of the Xuanshu Hall were overjoyed, they didn't know that this Dongfang good news, which seemed to be able to reverse the situation of strength and weakness, had pulled the originally precarious Chang'an Imperial Court into the abyss of ten thousand tribulations.

In addition to reporting the victory to Lubu in Chang'an City, the good news from the east was also sent to the army of Yang Ding and Dong Cheng.

Not long after Liu Xie, the son of heaven, got this good news, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, who were in the military tent, also got the good news from the East.

However, instead of rejoicing like the young emperor, they fell into silence.

Song Guo and Fu Wan led the army, although they resisted the slightly weaker Zuo Fengyi rebels, but they also led mainly newly recruited soldiers, compared to the disadvantages faced by Yang and Dong against Li Dao, it was not much better.

However, they took advantage of Zhang Xiu's anyway and successfully defeated Zuo Fengyi's rebels, and also beheaded Li Heng, Li Xian and others.

This is almost an overwhelming victory, I believe that it will not take two or three days, Song Guo and they will be able to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, take a large army, and march west with them to deal with Li Wei's right-wing army.

However, for Yang and Dong, it is obviously more worried than happy.

Among the three of Yang, Dong, and Song, it was Song Guo's military strength and power that were the weakest.

Now that Song Guo has made great achievements in breaking the enemy, he is about to leap above the two, plus he has military merits and his relatives who are also leading soldiers and horses to ambush them, and the rising position of the upstarts in these two armies is just used to replace the positions of the two of them.

Yang and Dong both fell into anxiety and restlessness.

What is anxious is that there is no outstanding military merit in his hands, even if the generals work together to break Li Dao in the future, when it comes to meritorious deeds, the two are still not as good as Song Guo and Fu Wangong.

What is uneasy is that with the strengthening of this trend of replacing the old with the new, it is really difficult for Yang and Dong to rest assured that the Chang'an court will not bring up the old grudges and investigate the many crimes committed by the two when they were in Dong Ying.

Yang Dingyuan was one of the few important generals under Dong Zhuo, and Dong Cheng was the Dong clan's Shu clan who attached to Niu Fu.

Therefore, it is very likely that after solving Li Dao's external troubles, the Chang'an court will reuse Song Guo, who has few crimes, and Fu Wan, who is a relative, to take advantage of the situation to suppress the two of them, and even worse, the court will directly turn its face and use the soldiers and horses of Song Guo and Fu Wan to kill the two of them.

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became, and after exchanging their thoughts, they quickly decided that they couldn't sit still like this anymore.

Something has to be done!

But it is impossible to surrender Li Dao and fight back, they have already stained the blood of many Li family children in their hands, and they are even more undying enemies with Li Dao.

At this time, even if Li Dao came forward in person and promised not to add to the crime, the two couldn't believe it.

The only way to do this is to take the initiative to attack, defeat Li Dao's army, and achieve great success, so as to ensure that the two of them will not lose their position in the court.

However, if they wanted to defeat Li Wei's army, which was also the Xiliang army, with their weak forces, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng felt very tricky.

Although the two have been in the Xiliang army for a long time and are familiar with the reality of Li Dao's army, in the previous few defensive battles, with the solidity of the fence built, and there is no way out, they can only fight to the death, and they repelled many attacks of Li Dao's army under the same hatred of the enemy, and even had a small victory in counterattack.

However, this is all based on the foundation of sticking to the camp and achieving military exploits. The two of them stuck to the camp, and they were destined not to lose big, and it was impossible to create a big victory.

Just when Yang and Dong were thinking hard about how to break the enemy, in the enemy camp, a soldier quietly handed over the fighter plane that the two might win.

What I want to do anyway is a military general named Wang Fang, who was originally a rebel in Liangzhou, and has followed many leaders of the kingdom, Xu Rong, Fan Chou, and Li Wei.

Among Li Dao's current right-wing army, there are many of the former Fan Chou's old troops, and they have no good impression of the rule of Li Dao, who assassinated the general, and it was only because of Li Dao's great power and the lack of a leader that they had to submit to Li Dao.

After secretly deliberating, they decided to contact the old ministry and jointly elect the brave Wang Fang as the leader, and secretly contacted Wang Shi, in order to cooperate with the inside and outside, break Li Dao's army, make meritorious contributions, and surrender to the truth.

After getting Wang Fang's secret surrender, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng were like charcoal in the snow, and they were overjoyed, and Wang Fang also sent someone to send the camp layout of Li Wei's army that was secretly sketched, which made Yang and Dong even more convinced.

Soon, Yang and Dong agreed on the date of the uprising and the direction of the troops with the soldiers, and actively prepared for the battle, preparing to take advantage of the civil strife in Li Dao's army to defeat Li Dao and make great contributions before the arrival of Song Guo and Fu Wan's leading army.

Soon, everything fell into place.

On the west bank of Fengshui, the Yang and Dong armies, which took the initiative to cross the river to fight, made rapid progress, attacking the camp and pulling out the village one after another, and the army of Li Dao, who had fought civil strife, continued to retreat, and there was a tendency to collapse and disperse.

It's just that after all the soldiers and horses of Yang and Dong crossed Fengshui and wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, Li Wei's army, which was originally in civil strife and retreated one after another, suddenly shook the sky, and a large number of soldiers and horses turned over to engage in battle, and there was no sign of rout and escape.

A big war has come to a fever pitch.

On the high ground behind the side of the battlefield.

Wang Fang, who originally planned to start an incident anyway, stood on the high ground, salivating with a smile, and currying favor with Li Ru, who was seriously injured. And the leader with Li Dao's gloomy face is also facing the battlefield where the soldiers on both sides are fighting fiercely

Zuo Fengyi's army was defeated, Li Heng and Li Xian died one after another, and the bad news that he was killed by the rebellious Zhang Xiu had reached Li Dao's hands, but he was pressed down, and the low-level soldiers in the army didn't know it.

Originally, Li Wei attacked the camp of Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, but he was repeatedly frustrated, and he was defeated by a counterattack for a while, but now he heard the news of the destruction of his own Zuo Feng Yi's soldiers and horses, and he was already cowardly in his heart, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the army's heart was not in turmoil, and he would withdraw the army and return to Fufeng to hold on.

Li Ru, who was seriously injured in the assassination, vehemently opposed.

In his opinion, the current situation is like two cows struggling to resist each other, if one party takes the initiative to show cowardice and retreats, it will give the other party who grasps the gap to break through the middle door, disembowel, and end up with a tragic death of the horns.

Therefore, we can only fight hard to win, and we must never avoid war to survive.

Subsequently, Li Ru analyzed the possible secret existence of the courtiers of the Son of Heaven, Yang, Dong, and the generals of the Song army for Li Dao, and finally made a decisive suggestion, painted a gourd in the same way, risked repeating Zhang Xiu's rebellion, and used the trick of deception to lure Yang Ding and Dong Cheng away from the strong camp and cross the river to fight them.

Of course, after the implementation of this strategy, if it wants to work, in addition to the performance of the deceitful candidates, it also depends on the urgency of Yang and Dong to win.

If Yang and Dong are like stopping water and are unmoved, then after a long time, the matter of deception will inevitably be exposed.

However, at the moment, the strategy offered by Li Ru, who speculated on people's hearts, obviously achieved the expected results.

Li Dao's gloomy face, standing on the high ground, finally showed a cruel smile.

The soldiers and horses of Yang and Dong took the initiative to break away from the strong camp, crossed the river to fight with the army under his command, attacked the strong with weakness, and stayed away from the riverbank.

At that time, it will be the time for his army to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
