Under the strong insistence of Wei Wensheng and the reform forces in Xijing, the number of troops supporting the eastern capital reached 25,000, while the army that reinforced Heyou was 10,000, and only 5,000 remained in Xijing. The local forces of Guanlong were forced to make a compromise in desperation, and the Jingzhao Neishi Mansion temporarily recruited 5,000 young men to supplement the lack of garrison forces, but it took time to recruit troops, and if Wei Wensheng left with the army in this time, Xijing would be in vain, and the city would be empty, which was actually very dangerous, especially in the current situation, Xiju Ding secretly hid a large number of forces that supported Yang Xuangan, once they took advantage of the situation of Xiju to launch a riot and echo Yang Xuangan on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, then Guanzhong was in danger.

This endangers the fundamental interests of the Guanlong people and the future of Yang Yu, the acting king, and it is reasonable for Wei Jie to give a proper "reminder". No one is stopping you from going to support the Eastern Capital, but you must at least make sure that the West Capital is safe before you leave it.

But in Wei Wensheng's eyes, Wei Jie's words were deliberately obstructed, although he couldn't find a reason to refute, and he didn't want to force the reasoning to give someone a handle, but this touched his "bottom line", he wanted to launch a fierce counterattack, so that the local forces in Guanlong could see that in the face of the interests of the country, there was no room for bargaining, and any obstruction was futile, and finally he would shoot himself in the foot.

On the morning of June 16, Wen Sheng, the guard who stayed behind in Xijing, ordered that Yang Yue, the cousin of Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong who was arrested in Xijing, and more than 20 Hongnong Yang family disciples such as Yang Er and Yang Cao, as well as about 30 relatives and friends of Yang Xuangan's brothers in Xijing, as well as about 50 relatives and friends such as Li Zixiong, Wang Zhongbo, Zhao Huaiyi, and Hu Shitan, a total of more than 100 nobles and bureaucrats, were all dragged to Dongshi and beheaded for public display.

For a while, people's heads were rolling, blood flowed like a river, and Xijing was shocked.

When the news reached the ears of the acting king, the acting king was frightened at that time and hurriedly begged Wei Jie to stop it. Although he is the nominal supreme commander of Xijing, after all, he is an eight-year-old child, a puppet who is not yet sensible, and his influence is too small to stop Wei Wensheng from killing people at all.

Wei Jie was furious, he knew that this was Wei Wensheng's "counterattack", a warning to the local forces in Guanlong, if you deliberately obstruct me from supporting the Eastern Capital, I will kill more people. Wei Jie looked up to the sky and sighed, he couldn't stop Wei Wensheng, although Wei Wensheng had no right to kill these people at all, but Wei Wensheng could frame them, saying that they were plotting to rebel and prevent him from supporting the Eastern Capital.

The other people who tried to obstruct Wei Wensheng didn't have time, and when they arrived in Dongshi, there was a crowd in front of them, which was already a fait accompli, and no one could get out of the system, and they were all "framed" by Wei Wensheng. You say you don't know this, who believes? You said that this matter was caused by Wei Wensheng alone, who believes it? Who are you who you don't have time to stop, who believes? In the end, the Holy Lord can only come to one conclusion, everyone has a part in this matter, and no one can escape.

Hongnong Yang is the foundation of the royal family, is the biggest vested interests, is the various aristocratic groups, the "target" of the major wealthy families, there is a chance to hit the Hongnong Yang family, not only can weaken the power of the clan, but also can carve up the vested interests of the Hongnong Yang family and the clan, of course, everyone is flocking to it.

What should I do if this has come to this? Only by entering the Eastern Capital to defeat Yang Xuangan, sit on Yang Xuangan's charges, destroy the political forces headed by Yang Xuangan, and inflict unprecedented heavy blows on the Hongnong Yang clan, so that the Holy Lord could not find an excuse for revenge, and let the Hongnong Yang clan lose the power of revenge. There is no turning back from the bow, since you are already a "wicked person", let's do the "wicked man" to the end.

Originally, it was a very complicated matter, and it was simple to kill Wei Wensheng like this, but Wei Wensheng destroyed the "rules" of the gate lord clan, he was a political "hooligan", and he was also a political hooligan who did not want to die, under normal circumstances, this kind of person has no place to exist in the officialdom, as long as he is waiting for him, it must be "ten thousand arrows piercing the body", but now in an extraordinary period, Wei Wensheng was forced to use "hooligan" means to deal with a large group of "hooligans", and finally achieved his goal. Then the consequences are strict, Wei Wensheng offended all the gate lord clans, and became an "outlier" in the officialdom, after this storm, the holy lord may still need him, and will give him support, and his career can continue, but he can no longer win the support of the gate lord clan, and a magnate who has lost his support must do nothing in politics, to put it bluntly, it is a "decoration", and the aristocracy and bureaucracy enjoy the "incense" on the "altar".

In the eyes of the reformers, Wei Wensheng destroyed an obstacle in Xijing at the cost of his own political life, and won valuable time for sending troops to support the Eastern Capital, he left a tragic figure in this era, and in the eyes of the conservatives, Wei Wensheng used the "hooligan" method to the extreme, holding the "powder keg" and Xijing to the end, he was already "dead", and what survived was just a shell.

On the afternoon of June 16, acting Wang Yang Yu ordered Wen Sheng, the guard left behind in Xijing, as the commander, Mingya, the squire of the military department, as the deputy, and the book-bearer Yu Shi Duyan as the supervisor, leading 25,000 soldiers, and set off tomorrow morning to aid the eastern capital.

June 16, Eastern Capital Battlefield.

The evacuation from the imperial city continued, but the central officials led by Gao Xiaoji, the servant of the ministry, had already arrived in Ha Duong and were establishing Xingtai Province, and only after the arrival of all the central governments and their subordinate bureaucrats, they could replace the eastern capital to preside over the daily work of the central government and maintain the operation of the central government. The queen concubines in the palace city, under the protection of Dugu Sheng, the general of the left prison gate, also arrived at the Zhanshui camp established in the northwest of Heyang City at the same time.

But it is not only people who need to be evacuated, but also many confidential files, the evacuation workload is too large, and the flow of the Dengjin channel on the big river is very limited, even if it is too late to cross the river day and night, it can only ensure the retreat of the central government first, so it is located in the northwest direction of Dengjin. [,！ Mengjin, ten miles away, has become an evacuation channel for the nobles and riches, but they lack the protection of the army, and the city of Heyin on the other side also lacks relief materials, you can imagine what the consequences will be, but the eastern capital can no longer take care of these, even if it is chaotic and starving, it can only turn a blind eye, and each has a destiny.

On this day, Wang Zhongbo attacked Shun Lì on the eastern line of Pishan, captured the Yamato Valley, cut off the Mengjin pass, and then quickly reorganized his men and horses and advanced to the western line of Pishan.

Wu Benlang put Li Gongting on the front line of Bishan to take care of one thing and the other, and as a last resort, he decisively gave up the Yamato Valley, and instead concentrated his forces on the Pingcheng and Linping Pavilion lines, trying to ensure that the Golden Valley was not lost.

On this afternoon, Yang Xuanting captured Pingcheng, and then commanded the army to advance towards Linping Pavilion.

Li Gongting defended the Linping Pavilion and once again asked the King of Yue for help.

On this day, the defenders of Hangu Pass surrendered without a fight, and Yang Jishan's soldiers took the pass without blood, and then led the main force to kill Jingu, but encountered the stubborn resistance of the Weifu army on the front line of Lishui, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

On this day, Li Fengyun transferred Zhen Baoche's Tiger Ben Army and Guo Ming's alliance first, and the Third Army to the north embankment of Jicuichi again to maintain a containment attack on the imperial city, while Han Xiangguo collected deserters on the Gushui line and reorganized the team.

On this day, Yang Xuangan was still commanding the battle in the Sun Gate Square, and the Weifu Army fought fiercely on the north bank of the Zodiac Canal, the East Sun Gate and Hui'anmen Street, although there has been no progress so far, but the continuous attack has made the defenders of the Imperial City have to deal with it with all their strength, because there are nearly 100 "prison guards" behind them, as long as they are a little lax, they may be charged with "slacking off the war". Yang Gongren and Fan Zigai were worried that some people in the city would defect and some people would surrender the city, but they could not arrest all the suspects, so they had no choice but to place a few "prison guards" in each team and brigade, so that they could keep their eyes open for twelve hours.

On this day, Zheng Yuanshou received a letter from Dugu Wudu, the commander of Jingfudu, and determined that Xijing had decided to send troops to reinforce the eastern capital, so he ordered Zhu Yingyang to leave Shaancheng, march along the east of Kunshan, march towards Hangu Pass, and kill the eastern capital.

June 16, White Horse Battlefield.

Wu Benlang put Li Shanheng in a fierce battle with the alliance on the front line of Weinan, and at the same time, Yang Lan and Dong Chun, the kings of Qi, led the army to Lingchang, forming an east-west attack with Li Shanheng.

On the same day, the messenger of Jiyin County guarding Wei Baoluan arrived in Junyi City, and Wei Fusi disguised himself as a messenger entourage, blended into the city, and then abandoned his horse and boarded the boat, and went north to the big river along the Tongji Canal.

On the same day, Huo Xiaohan, the commander of the right side of the alliance, led the army to withdraw from the Lingchang line to Baima, and joined Shi Hanyao, the right chief of the alliance, and prepared to cross the river to the north.

On the night of the same day, Wang Bo, the head of the left side of the alliance, withdrew from the front line of Weinan and galloped to the white horse under the cover of night.

June 16, Dawn Battlefield.

Chen Rui, the left chief of the alliance, personally visited Zhang Jincheng, the leader of the Qinghe Rebellion, expressed his gratitude to him, and informed him that the alliance would withdraw from Liyang in the next two days.

Chen Rui said to Zhang Jin that he had analyzed and deduced the development of the future situation in Liyang in detail, and reminded Zhang Jin that he must evacuate Liyang in two days, although there is still a lot of food in Liyang Cang, and all kinds of materials in Liyang Cang are still piled up, but it is too late, the Weifu Army is killing from all directions, and the righteous army must "escape" before the Weifu Army encircles Liyang, otherwise there will be a disaster of annihilation.

In addition, Chen Rui specially warned Zhang Jin that the tens of thousands of civilians who were coerced by him were originally slow to walk, and the evacuation speed was even slower, and if they were not evacuated in advance, these people would inevitably fall into the hands of the Weifu army, so the heads were rolling, and the innocent civilians were cut off as traitors, which was a disaster for the people of Hebei.

On the same day, Liu Heimin led his army to the upper reaches of Dangshui, hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and sent scouts to investigate the movements of Tangyin and Jiangli, looking for a good opportunity to attack.

On the same day, Hao Xiaode led the army to protect the old and weak women and children of the alliance, as well as looted things, crossed the boundary of Ji County, and marched towards Lin Shu Mountain, and more than a hundred miles behind him, Han Shou, the head of the Xiao cavalry army, left Liyang with more men and materials.

On the same day, Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei, and Sun Xuanya, the head of the alliance, continued to fight on the Inner Huang line, with great momentum but slow progress.
