On the second day of the first month of June, Lu Xingxing, the commander of the alliance's hussars, and Yue Gao, the commander of the alliance's third army, commanded the men and horses of the headquarters to fight bloodily and advanced to the south bank of Luoshui with difficulty, but they were immediately counterattacked by the defenders of Ganluo City, and the local defenders of Baiting and Kuaixiang, which were only one river away from Ganluo City, under the command of Henan Ling Daxi, fully supported Ganluo City and did their best to hold the Luoshui defense line.

At noon on the same day, Li Fengyun led Xu 13's Fengyun Army, Xiahou Zhe's First Army of the Alliance, and Niu Jinda's 23rd Army of the Alliance to join the battlefield of Ganluo City.

The news reached the eastern capital, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Fan Zigai, who stayed in the eastern capital, were angry at the passive slackness of the right Xiaowei general Li Hun, but there was no way, Li Hun's defense on the front line of Xianren Palace was impeccable, and he also counterattacked Yique, and also firmly contained the main force of the rebels, but the thief handsome Han Xiangguo was not a wine bag and rice bag, and he also had a strategy, in the case of not being able to stop the Weifu army on the frontal battlefield, he relied on the advantage of many people to send a partial division to attack the Luoshui defense line from the flank, and as a result, Han Xiangguo succeeded, and the partial division captured Ganluo City, Broke through the Luoshui defense line and directly hit the flank and rear flank of Xianren Palace. Li Hun is now surrounded by the rebels on three sides, alone in the Xianren Palace, very passive, his anger is greater than that of the Eastern Capital.

Li Hun "preemptively" accused the Eastern Capital of "inaction" and did not actively exert pressure on the four major lieutenants such as Zheng Yuanshou, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, Yang Hao, the King of Qin, and Pei Hongce, the Zanwu of Henan, who held heavy troops, so that the reinforcements were delayed and the war situation deteriorated day by day, and he even publicly warned the Eastern Capital that it was a critical moment for the Second Eastern Crusade, and it was very important for the political situation in the Eastern Capital to be stable or not, but some ill-intentioned people deliberately worsened the situation in the Eastern Capital, ostensibly to put me in a desperate situation, but in fact they wanted to conspire to sabotage the Second Eastern Crusade.

Although Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Fan Zigai, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, were furious, but considering the safety of the eastern capital, they had to convene the central ministers in Beijing and the generals of the Wei Mansion to negotiate the rescue strategy.

Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, was invited to participate in this military meeting, but his presence failed to alleviate the fierce contradictions between the military and political leaders of the Eastern Capital.

Wei Fu's view of the war situation is still optimistic, and his understanding of the crisis in the Eastern Capital is still insufficient, and Zheng Yuanshou, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, still insists that Li Hun has the strength to defeat or even destroy the rebels, and the implication is that Li Hun is purely a thief shouting to catch a thief, Li Hun himself has ill intentions, and what he did on the battlefield of Yique has proved that he himself is essentially the driving force behind the rapid deterioration of the situation in the Eastern Capital, so K Yuanshou asked Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Fan Zigai, who stayed in the Eastern Capital, to put pressure on Li Hun immediately. As a last resort, he could even use extraordinary means to deprive Li Hun of his military power.

However, a confrontation has been formed between the Yue Wangfu, the Liushou Mansion, the Central Prefecture and the Henan Inner History Mansion, and the high-level political circles in the Eastern Capital have joined forces to put pressure on the Wei Mansion, and even they themselves have not been able to form a unified decision. On behalf of the Yue Wangfu, the Yue Wang Chang Shi Cui Zheng resolutely opposed the support, and the Taifu Secretary Yuan Wendu, who represented the central government, swayed left and right, saying that he wanted to only look forward to the Yue Wangma, and said that he must respect the remaining Fan Zigai, but the result was that he watched coldly and no one supported it, while Pei Hongce, who represented the Henan Internal History Mansion, insisted that this was the military's business, and it was originally the duty of the Eastern Capital Garrison to defend the eastern capital to defend the eastern capital and defend the Jinggi garrison, and the local government could not and did not have the ability to "Yue Qian Dai" instead of the military to suppress the thieves, and let the Henan Inner History Mansion support the Wei Mansion, which was purely a joke. Fan Zigai is a "lonely man", he can only see the wind and rudder, and seeing that the situation is one-sided, Yu Crisp wisely closed his mouth, silence is golden, he can no longer blindly insist, and if he insists on supporting Li Hun, he will definitely push himself to the forefront and become the target of public criticism.

However, after all, he overestimated himself, and did not fully see the form, in today's high-level political circles in the Eastern Capital, he, a staunch supporter of radical reforms loyal to the Holy Lord, is in essence the target of public criticism, he wants to keep his head in obscurity, and does not want to be the first bird, which does not mean that he can achieve his wishes.

Yang Gongren finally spoke, and said to the point in one sentence, "Under the current situation, can Gong (Li Hun) hold the Luoshui defense line?" ”

He didn't even mention the counterattack on Yique, and directly said whether he could hold Yique, which means that he is very pessimistic about the battle situation. Yesterday he went around the south of Luoshui, went to Xianren Palace and had a private conversation with Li Hun, and then went directly back to his own mansion, neither went to the Yue Wangfu to report the results of the trip to Luoshui to the Yue Wang, nor did he go to the imperial city to discuss with Fan Zigai, Yuan Wendu and other central ministers in detail, but took matters into his own hands, and sent his three younger brothers without authorization, one to the east and two to the west, obviously to gather the strength of the clan to do something.

Yang Gongren's political style has always been known for his calmness, but this time, whether he actively made a comeback at the invitation of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, or privately invoked the power of the clan without the consent of the Holy Lord, he committed a big taboo on politics.

Yang Gongren must know some secrets, and then think of the first person Yang Gongren met after his "comeback" was Guogong Li Hun, and then think of Liyang's imminent move, the answer is about to come out, and this answer makes everyone in the know feel suffocated.

If Yang Xuangan of Liyang and the king of Qi, who was closest to the emperor in law, formed an alliance and cooperated to carry out a military coup, then the result would be predictable, even if the military coup ended in failure, but the great storm that swept through the entire Middle-earth would surely involve countless nobles and bureaucrats in hell.

There are as far as the military coup d'état of Wei Chijiong and Wang Qian and Sima more than 20 years ago, and as recently as the military coup d'état of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty nine years ago. If the storm that is about to be set off in the Eastern Capital is the same as the previous two storms, then there must be more people who died in the storm this time than the previous two times, the reason is very simple, the center of this storm is in the Central Plains, in Gyeonggi, in the Eastern Capital, in the places where the nobility and bureaucracy are most dense, in the places where the population is most concentrated, and in the period when the conflicts and conflicts in the court are most intense, so after the storm, the Eastern Capital, even Gyeonggi and even the entire Central Plains, may become ruins.

No one spoke in the lobby, the atmosphere was very depressing, and it was the height of summer, even though there were a lot of ice cubes in the hall, it was still very hot and unbearable, and everyone was sweating profusely.

Yang Gongren's expression was stern, his eyes were sharp, and after slowly scanning everyone, he continued to ask, "Which of you came to the battlefield in person?" Who is leading the way? Who has ever fought the rebels face to face? Do you really know the true strength of the rebels? ”

Still no one spoke.

Yang Gongren sighed and asked again, "You all know that Yique has been lost unbelievably, so have you thought deeply about why the impregnable Yique was lost?" If you have thought deeply, and guessed or already know the truth about the fall of Yique, then I will ask you, will the equally impregnable Eastern Capital fall for the same reason? ”

There was silence, and only heavy breathing remained in the lobby.

"Our fate is closely related to the Eastern Capital." Yang Gongren's voice was very low, very melancholy, and even a little inexplicably sad, "I know that the reason why you quarrel so fiercely is because you want to protect your own interests as much as possible, but I must remind you that whether you can protect your own interests, the premise is that you must ensure the safety of the Eastern Capital, ensure the stability of the domestic political situation, and ensure the victory of the Holy Lord on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade. ”

This is political common sense, everyone knows it, and Yang Gongren expounded these simple political common sense on such an important occasion and important moment, bluntly and harshly, and its purpose was certainly not to warn the military and political leaders of the Eastern Capital, but to have other plans.

What is Yang Gongren's purpose? The military and political bigwigs in the lobby are all smart people, and they are clear in their hearts, but no one dares to declare it, and no one knows how many "hole cards" Yang Gongren has mastered, but one thing is certain, since Yang Gongren has made up his mind, then it proves that he must be quite sure, otherwise wouldn't it be a humiliation?

"There is no doubt that the Holy Lord's relocation of the capital has intensified the contradiction between the two capitals, and this contradiction will only worsen the situation indefinitely in times of crisis, and even endanger the survival of the country."

Yang Gongren's words were astonishing. Although it is an open secret that the irreconcilable contradictions between the two capitals are one of the important reasons why the political struggle has intensified over the years, no one wants to make it clear, and the conflict will become more intense. Now Yang Gongren has made it clear, why? There is only one reason, Xijing is the most important behind-the-scenes driver of this storm, and the purpose is to destroy the eastern capital, regain the central position of the economy and culture of the Middle Earth, and regain the huge interests that belong to it in Xijing's view, and this Yan zhòng endangers the survival of the country, and Yan zhòng hurts the fundamental interests of the clan, so Yang Gongren can't bear it, and the clan can't bear it, so Yang Gongren actively "makes a comeback", and he wants to fight hard at any cost.

"The outbreak of this crisis is inevitable, we can only do our best to save the Eastern Capital, and what is the key to saving the Eastern Capital? How do we make decisions that can turn the tide? ”

Yang Gongren stopped when he said this, and the resoluteness in his eyes showed his extraordinary determination very clearly, no one could stop him from saving the Eastern Capital, otherwise he would not die.
