Chapter 452: The Wind Rises

King Qi weighed it again and again, and still controlled the "boiling" **, after all, Li Baiyao's attitude is very important, even if he can't represent the Hebei aristocratic group, but at least he can represent the prestige of the Hebei family with the Li family of Zhaojun as a part, and You Yuan's death is a fact that cannot be ignored, it doesn't matter who killed You Yuan, the important thing is that You Yuan died in Liyang, which not only made Yang Xuangan feel a heavy "black cauldron", but also gave Hebei people and even Shandong people a bloody warning, don't get involved in the internal disputes between Guanlong people, Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. In this situation, of course, Shandong people sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and even fall into the well, there is really no reason to "go into battle shirtless" and take risks.

In this way, the Holy Lord has the support of the two major political groups of Jiangzuo and Shandong, plus there are still some Guanlong people who support him, and he does have an overwhelming advantage, and the Second Eastern Crusade fell short, and the Holy Lord suffered another heavy blow in politics and military, which also forced him to make greater compromises and concessions to the conservative forces, so that he could win the support of more Guanlong people, and the final result was as Li Baiyao said, the day the Holy Lord returned to the Eastern Capital, that is, the moment when Yang Xuangan was defeated, and this time would not take more than three months.

The king of Qi accepted Li Baiyao's opinion, temporarily cut off the idea of entering the eastern capital as quickly as possible, but did not cut off the ambition of joining forces with conservative forces to seize the imperial unification, he decided to follow the reservation strategy, first go to Tongji Canal, Chen soldiers outside the defense line of the moat, under the banner of suppressing the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, ready to enter Beijing at any time, and at the same time patiently observe the changes in the situation in the eastern capital.

In his opinion, although the Holy Lord did have an absolute advantage, after he joined forces with Yang Xuangan and Xijing, relying on the geographical advantages of Guanlong, there was no chance of victory. Since the Guanlong people relied on their own strength to finally unify Middle-earth, who dares to say that they can't create a miracle and defeat the alliance of the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people with one enemy and two enemies and their own powerful strength? The reason why Yu Chijiong Wang Qian Sima eliminated the difficulty instantly was because they did not have the strength of a leader at all, and the reason why Yang Liang, the king of Han, failed in an instant was because he did not have the qualifications for the imperial succession at all, but he was different, he was the only legitimate heir to the imperial throne in Middle-earth today, and the world knew that as long as he ascended to the heights, who would dare to say that he was not a crowd of applicants? King Qi is still full of confidence in himself.

On the morning of the seventh day of the sixth month, the king of Qi ordered Li Shanheng, the general of Wu Benlang who had led the army into Jibei County in advance, to march west along the Jishui and fire immediately after receiving the order, and joined Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, at Tongji Canal, and Chen soldiers under the city of Junyi. He also urgently wrote to Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to inform Yang Xuangan of the matter of raising troops in Liyang, and asked him to deal with it on the spot after arriving at Tongji Canal, and he must be cautious, not to be confused by the chaos in the eastern capital, and not to cross the trench defense line without authorization.

On the same day, the king of Qi urgently wrote to Laihu'er, the head of the Donglai Naval Division, Zhou Fashang, the deputy governor, and Cui Junsu, the chief of the Changshi, who also told Yang Xuangan that he had gone south to attack the eastern capital after the Liyang mutiny, and then bluntly stated that he would lead the army west into Henan, and once the situation in the eastern capital was critical, he would enter Beijing to quell the rebellion.

The king of Qi left Qilu in a hurry, and the situation in the Qilu region will inevitably change, and this change is obviously not conducive to the stability of the regional situation. However, the Donglai Navy Division is about to go on an expedition, and he is going all out to prepare to cross the sea, and he can't care about these things, at most he will give Zhang Xutuo some assistance in terms of food, grass and weapons.

However, the meaning of this letter of the King of Qi is definitely not to care about the future situation in the Qilu region, but to deliberately test the determination of the Holy Lord in the Second Eastern Crusade. Before the Second Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord must have drawn up a plan for how to deal with the emergency once the domestic situation deteriorated and the supply of grain and grass to the Grand Canal was cut off. If the sailor decides to give up the expedition across the sea and go to Beijing to quell the rebellion with all his might, it proves that the Holy Lord does not have the determination to carry out the Second Eastern Crusade to the end, and once the domestic situation deteriorates, he will quickly give up the Eastern Crusade and return to China to deal with the crisis, so it can be inferred that Yang Xuangan's chances of victory are too slim, and the King of Qi will have to consider whether to completely break the mind of entering Beijing, on the contrary, if the Sailor ignores the crisis in the Eastern Capital and insists on crossing the sea expedition, then it is enough to prove that the Holy Lord is determined to carry out the Second Eastern Crusade to the end, so it can be inferred that the Holy Lord will not return to the Eastern Capital until at least winter, This gave Yang Xuangan plenty of time to attack the Eastern Capital, so that everything was possible.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, the king of Qi left Licheng and walked along the south bank of Jishui, beating horses and whips, and galloping away.

On the seventh day of the first month, Hanoi County, Linqing customs.

Under Yang Xuanting's fierce attack, Tang Wei was difficult to support, Linqing Pass was in danger, and Yanjin Pass, more than 20 miles away, had fallen, and Jinkou was controlled by Yang Xuanting's army.

At the critical moment, Wu Yalang rushed Gao Bi to lead the army, and the battle situation of Linqingguan was suddenly reversed. Hearing that Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Zixiong, the general of the Left Imperial Guard, raised troops to rebel, Gao Bi was very shocked, and urgently reported to the Eastern Capital and Li Gongting on the other hand, asking for support.

On the same day, the fleet led by Yang Xuangan crossed the Yanjinjin Pass and sailed to the eastern capital in the wind and waves.

On the same day, Cui Hongsheng led his army across the Zhangshui River, entered the territory of Pingyuan County, arrived at the Yongji Canal, and marched rapidly along the wide canal embankment avenue.

On the same day, Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, arrived in Jiyin City, the capital of Jiyin County, and visited Jiyin Taishou Wei Baoluan, asking for grain and grass in the name of rebellion, and replenishing military supplies, and then he learned the latest news about the Eastern Capital, in which Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, came back and controlled the military power of the Eastern Capital, which surprised him very much, as well as the latest movements of the white thieves in Henan, in recent days, all the rebels who had been plundered on the Tongji Canal crossed the Jishui and went north, there are many things to speculate about, and what especially interested Dong Chun was that there was an accident on the side of Liyang, Dongjun Taishou Dugu Yanshou has already called the police to Wei Baoluan.

Wei Baoluan was very tight-mouthed, talking in generalities, and never saying what should not be said, but Dong Chun knew that Li Fengyun's prediction was right, Yang Xuangan really mutiny in advance, and he was right to persuade the King of Qi to go west to the Central Plains in advance, which would definitely deter the Eastern Capital and give the King of Qi an opportunity to seize profits in the future chaos.

Dong Chun ordered, Zhu Yingyang advanced along the north bank of Jishui, turned north in the area of the Yellow River and entered Dongjun, Chen soldiers in Kuangcheng and Fengqiu, made a posture of encirclement and suppression of the white thief, do not rush north to relieve the siege of Baima.

Dong Chun also wrote to Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang, and Cui Baode, the governor of Xingyang, who was sitting in Junyi City, telling him that he had led his army westward to pursue and suppress the white thieves, and implored Xingyang to give support and cooperation. This is purely three hundred taels of silver here, you are a Pengcheng left behind "not doing business", not doing your own job, but you stretched out your hand to Henan, on behalf of Henan people to suppress thieves, this is not only leaving the country without permission to break the law and law, but there is a suspicion of rebellion, what do you want? Of course, during the special period, the white thieves plundered the Tongji Canal and caused trouble in Henan, as the Xuzhou army that had a deep blood feud with the white thieves, it is indeed possible to cross the border to pursue and take revenge, but are you Dong Chun really ashamed of the thieves?

On the same day, on the battlefield of Gyeonggi Yique, Wu Benlang general Fei Yao suddenly led the army back to the eastern capital, Henan Ling Daxi also turned around and led the army to the eastern front of the Beijing Division, Wu Benlang retreated to Luoshui with great strides, and then went straight to Yanshi along Luoshui.

Li Hun was the last to receive the order, and immediately scolded, although he knew the reason for the sudden change of plans in the Eastern Capital, but he was the front-line commander of the Yique battlefield, and the Eastern Capital deliberately concealed from him to evacuate the other friendly troops first, and then told him that the plan had changed, which was an insult to him personally. Is it tolerable or intolerable?

Li Hun ordered, and the eagles raised their attacks towards Yiquekou. The two sides fought fiercely. Li Fengyun learned that the other officers and troops in the flank of the battlefield had withdrawn, and immediately ordered Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming to lead the army to kill Luoshui and then capture Ganluo City, and ordered Zhen Baoche and Xiahou Zhe to lead the army to attack the flank of Xianren Palace to force Li Hun to retreat.

In the afternoon, Li Hun withdrew to the Xianren Palace. Li Mi, Li Fengyun, and Han Xiangguo led all the main forces to press on all fronts and stormed Xianren Palace.

Li Hun asked for help from the eastern capital, and clearly told Yang Tong, the king of Yue, that the Xianren Palace could not be defended, and if it continued to be defended, the Luoshui defense line that had no soldiers to defend would be broken through by the rebels, and at that time the Xianren Palace would become a "turtle in the urn", and the rebels would also be killed under the eastern capital.

In the middle of the night, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, ordered Li Hun to abandon Xianren Palace, cross Luoshui overnight, retreat to the line of Baiting and Kuaixiang, and defend the Luoshui defense line.

In the early morning of the eighth day of the first month of June, Li Hun evacuated the Xianren Palace and crossed the Luoshui.

On the same day, the Eastern Capital once again received reports from the Xingyang County Government, the Hanoi County Government and the Linqing Pass, and there was definite evidence to prove that the rebel commander who attacked the Linqing Pass was Yang Xuanting, and that Yanjin Pass and Yanjin Ferry had been captured by him, and that the Eastern Capital had been cut off from Liyang for many days, and that the connection with the Jijun County Government had also been cut off for many days, and that Yongji Canal had also been cut off for many days.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, ordered the arrest of Yang Xuangan, Li Zixiong and other relatives, friends, protégés and former officials who were known to have rebelled in the Eastern Capital, "It is better to arrest one person by mistake than to let one go".

He also ordered that 100,000 people should urgently report to the Holy Lord, but considering that Yang Xuangan's army was currently blocked under the Linqing Pass, and the scope of the mutiny was only limited to Liyang and its surrounding areas, and had not directly endangered the safety of the eastern capital, the content of the report was still under control, and it was also an understatement to the thief Han Xiangguo's disaster in Gyeonggi.

He also ordered that the fire should report to Xijing, and ask the acting king Yang Yu to immediately arrest relatives and friends who are known to be rebellious in Xijing to ensure the safety of Xijing.

On the eighth day of June, Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County, received a call from Cui Hongsheng. Duan Da was very decisive, and immediately ordered his deputies, Doctor Zuo Guanglu and Wu Benlang, to mobilize Chen Ling overnight to rescue the Eastern Capital.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Chen Ling led an army of 10,000 to the south day and night to quell the rebellion.

On the same day, Laihu'er, the chief manager of the Donglai Water Division, received a letter from Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and was extremely shocked.
