What are the brothers fighting for with their heads? Everyone is a nobleman, a wealthy family, and they all have a good future, so why take risks and gamble? Fighting for power and profit is the main purpose, but it does not represent all, many times like-minded is very important, there is the same political concept to have the motivation for alliance and cooperation, and some people are involuntarily, kidnapped by the overall interests of the group, have to do it, but since it is "for", it is necessary to strive for victory, grab the greatest interests, and can bring the greatest benefits to the group is the supreme imperial power, and if you want to win the imperial power, you must win the imperial system, and if you want to win the imperial system, the best way is to usurp the throne and stand on your own.

Today's royal family comes from the Hongnong Yang family, which is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and the Yang Xuangan family is also a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, so Yang Xuangan has a unique advantage in the matter of "self-reliance", and the success rate is countless times greater than that of a nobleman with a different surname to usurp the throne, so on this night, most of the members of the mutiny alliance clearly asked Yang Xuangan to "stand on his own". This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and if it drags on any longer, it will inevitably affect the support of the Heluo aristocratic group for Yang Xuangan, and the support of the Heluo aristocratic group for Yang Xuangan directly determines the success or failure of the Eastern Capital War and the success or failure of this military coup.

Since Yang Xuangan entered Gyeonggi, Li Zixiong, who was far away in Liyang, had written twice, urging him to "stand on his own" immediately, imploring him to resolutely abandon his worries, not to look ahead and miss the opportunity, now there is no turning back, if the mutiny fails, whether it is "self-reliance" or not, the result is the same, in this case, why not "self-reliance"? Why not take advantage of the advantages brought by "self-reliance" in all aspects to strengthen one's own strength and increase the chances of victory in the mutiny? The lesser of two evils is a very simple truth.

However, different people stand on different standpoints, often have different interpretations of the same thing, and have very different understandings of the lesser of two evils. Li Mi resolutely opposed "self-reliance", not because he did not support Yang Xuangan's usurpation of the throne, but because he believed that the time for "self-reliance" had not yet come, and "self-reliance" at the wrong time would not only not help the success of the mutiny, but would increase the failure of the mutiny.

Yang Xuangan's attitude is also not to mention "self-reliance" for the time being, early "self-reliance" will make the situation clear quickly, and will make himself the target of public criticism.

He and Li Mi have the same opinion, both believe that the "imperial system" is the best bait, before this bait is not eaten by a certain "big fish", some political forces will rush up and spare no effort to scramble, some political forces will swim around the bait and are ready to move, and some political forces have no intention of intervening in the competition for the bait, but they are very concerned about the ownership of the bait, once the bait is eaten by a certain "big fish" connected to their own interests, they have to make a choice. As a result, a chaotic situation of "a group of fish grabbing bait" was formed, which was certainly conducive to the success of the mutiny.

Since Yang Xuangan did not oppose "self-reliance", but did not "stand on his own" for the time being, everyone did not continue to persuade them, so they focused on the battle of the Eastern Capital.

What was the goal of the Battle of the Eastern Capital? Is it to capture the eastern capital, sweep Gyeonggi, and rise up according to the Central Plains?

From a purely military point of view, this goal is not realistic, now the Holy Lord is under the city of Liaodong, the main force of the expeditionary force has not yet crossed the Yalu River, and the Donglai Navy Division has not yet crossed the sea expedition, at this moment, even if the Grand Canal is interrupted, the lack of food and grass supplies for the expeditionary force is not enough to delay the pace of blocking the return of the expeditionary force, and Yang Xuangan will need time whether he captures the Eastern Capital or occupies the Central Plains, but the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force will not give him enough time anyway.

From a political point of view, the possibility of achieving this goal is still existing, but it requires a crucial premise, that is, the imperial system must not only have a belonging, but also the local aristocratic group of Guanlong to control the ownership of the imperial system, so that the local aristocratic group of Guanlong and the Heluo aristocratic group can join hands to form an alliance, and the two largest conservative forces in the Guanlong ruling group can unite and join forces against the Holy Lord and the reformers with the strong strength of Guanlong as the backing.

The strong strength of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong lies in the unique geographical advantage of the Guanlong region, and the Heluo aristocratic group suffers losses in the Central Plains is a place of four wars, and there is no danger to defend, so if Yang Xuangan wants to achieve his political goals, he must win the support of the local aristocratic group of Guanlong, even if he makes wedding clothes for the local nobles of Guanlong, he must be willing, otherwise he will definitely be surrounded on all sides politically and militarily, and the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement is too small.

However, Yang Xuangan wanted to be "self-reliant", and the Heluo aristocratic group was unwilling to share the huge benefits brought by the successful military coup with the local aristocratic group of Guanlong, and from the known position of the Xijing side, the local aristocratic group of Guanlong was more ambitious, they not only wanted to seize the benefits of the imperial system, but also used this mutiny to destroy the eastern capital and regain the benefits of the Jingshi, and they were also unwilling to share this huge benefit with the Heluo people.

Both sides have clear goals and are doing their best, while Yang Xuangan and Heluo people are obviously passive. If the plan of the Guanlong people succeeds, the eastern capital is destroyed, and the Heluo aristocratic group will be hit hard, although they may not die out, but Yang Xuangan and the political forces with him, that is, the core force of the Heluo aristocratic group, will definitely disappear, so for Yang Xuangan and his allies, the goal of the Eastern Capital War is definitely not to capture the Eastern Capital, let alone fight four battles according to the Central Plains, of course, it is impossible to stand back, and make wedding clothes for the Guanlong people in vain.

"The goal of the Battle of the Eastern Capital is to lure the Xijing garrison and the Tongguan garrison to the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, so as to cause the weakness of the forces in Guanzhong and the emptiness of Tongguan, and then give us favorable conditions for breaking through Tongguan, capturing Xijing, and sweeping Guanzhong."

After Yang Xuan's troops came to the Eastern Capital, he finally came up with a real attack strategy.

Dongdu is indeed a place of death, but it is precisely because it is a place of death that his bait can work, and he has the opportunity to live after death, and then as long as the tiger is successfully transferred from the mountain, he seized a glimmer of life, and then the golden cicada came out of his shell, killed in Guanzhong, captured Xijing, he controlled the initiative, and the local wealthy family in Guanlong fell into passivity, the battlefield shifted from the eastern capital to Xijing, from the Central Plains to Guanlong, and the entire political and military form shì have produced subversive changes.

From the standpoint of the Holy Lord and the reformers, of course, we are willing to see the conservative forces kill each other, the snipe and the clam fight, the fishermen gain, the Guanlong local aristocratic group and the Heluo aristocratic group lose both, and the Holy Lord and the reformers gain a lot, this is a pie-in-the-sky thing, the Holy Lord is estimated to have woken up from a dream with a smile, and by that time not to mention that the political failures led by the Second Eastern Crusade have been ignored, and even the biggest force hindering reform has ceased to exist, and the Holy Lord can stride forward on the road of reform.

Therefore, at that moment, the local aristocratic group of Guanlong must compromise with Yang Xuangan and join forces with the Heluo people to fight against the Holy Lord and the reformers, otherwise Yang Xuangan will certainly be wiped out, but the local aristocratic group of Guanlong will also suffer a heavy blow, from prosperity to decline, and collapse.

Yang Xuangan explained his strategy and specific implementation steps in detail.

Yang Xuanting, Wang Zhongbo, Hu Shitan, Li Mi and others listened attentively, each with different moods, one Yang Xuangan's strategy was beyond their expectations, and the other was that this strategy was very difficult to implement, not only to firmly seize the fleeting opportunity, but also to rely on the "tacit understanding" of many opponents.

Lee's secret feelings are complicated. At the beginning, he offered Yang Xuangan three strategies, the upper strategy was to go north to directly attack Zhuo County, hit Linyu Pass, and block the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force in Liaodong, in fact, it is pure nonsense, not to mention whether Yang Xuangan's strength can leap thousands of miles and conquer Zhuo County to conquer Linyu Pass, even if it is successful, with the strong strength of the Holy Lord and more than 200,000 expeditionary forces, as well as the front and rear attacks of the Donglai Navy Division from the sea, he can block the Holy Lord in Liaodong? Besides, when Yang Xuangan was leaping thousands of miles, did the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force know nothing and continue to fight Goguryeo? It is simply impossible, the Holy Lord will send an expeditionary horse army to return to Linyu Pass as soon as possible, hold the "throat" connecting Youzhou and Liaodong, and ensure the safety of the expeditionary force's passage south to Youzhou, and Zhuo County will stay behind Duan Da and Chen Ling will also desperately block it, so that the Holy Lord will return to Zhuo County to win enough time, so the real purpose of Li Mixian's best strategy is to test whether Yang Xuangan has a heavy deployment in the palace and the expeditionary army, whether he will launch a mutiny at home and abroad at the same time, if there is a mutiny at home and abroad at the same time, Then the chances of victory in the domestic mutiny will increase significantly.

If the government does not get the support of the local nobles in Guanlong, Guanzhong will not be able to enter at all, so there is a strategy to fight the eastern capital, and the purpose of fighting the eastern capital is to win enough "capital" to bargain with Xijing, and whether the final mutiny can succeed depends on whether the two conservative forces can form an alliance and cooperate.

But Li Mi's "pattern" is still small, Yang Xuangan stands high and sees far, the pattern is much larger, he accurately analyzed and deduced the profit-grabbing goal of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, the local nobles in Guanlong want to put Yang Xuangan to death, how can the two sides compromise? How can there be an alliance and cooperation? So Yang Xuangan had to design to survive.

Yang Xuangan has been concealing it, of course, for the sake of secrecy, and he asked Li Mi's opinion at the beginning, and he also had the intention of tempting, but Li Mi's strategy was obviously slightly inferior, so although Yang Xuangan entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, he had no intention of staying by his side.

Li Mi was frustrated, and even a little frustrated, but fortunately, it was Yang Xuangan who made him feel frustrated, so that he would not lose confidence in his wisdom.

"Ming Gong, in that case, is it still necessary for us to capture the Eastern Capital?" Wang Zhongbo asked.

Yang Xuan stroked his hair and smiled, "The lives of the soldiers are very precious, how can they be allowed to make senseless sacrifices?" ”
