June 20, the battlefield of the Eastern Capital.

In the early morning, Li Mi rushed to the Zuo Houwei Mansion in the northwest corner of Nanguo, which was currently requisitioned by Li Fengyun and was the location of the Alliance's marshal camp.

"According to the latest news we have received, Wen Sheng, the guard left behind in Xijing, has led his army to the Eastern Capital three days ago." Li Mi's expression was grim, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were melancholy, and there was anxiety in his tone.

Li Fengyun glanced at Li Mi suspiciously. The dispatch of the Xijing army is a good thing, it is the thing that Yang Xuangan is looking forward to the most, it stands to reason that Li Mi should be happy, but why can't Li Mi see the slightest joy on his face.

"Does this news come from Xijing, or is it from Zheng Yuanshou's subordinates?" Li Fengyun asked, "Is it accurate?"

"Information from multiple sources confirms that the Xijing army was indeed dispatched three days ago." Li Mi replied, "Wei Wensheng insisted on rushing to the aid of the Eastern Capital, but there was great resistance, and in a fit of rage, he opened a killing spree in Xijing, cutting off more than a hundred heads in one go, which shook Xijing. That old puppet is crazy, and has lost his mind."

Li Fengyun was surprised. This Wei Wensheng came from the Wei family of Luoyang, the ancestor of the Wei family was Wei Qing, the general of the Han Wu Emperor period, and the inheritance has a history of six or seven hundred years, and during the rise of Guanlong, Wei Wensheng's grandfather and father were all members of the central government and the Wei Mansion, and Wei Wensheng himself was also quite famous in the military and political circles, so the Luoyang Wei family was also a powerful second-rate family in the Heluo aristocratic group, so it is not difficult to see that whether from the historical origin or from the regional interests, the Hongnong Yang family and the Luoyang Wei family, which both belong to the Heluo aristocratic group, should be close. And Yang Su and Wei Wensheng, who belong to the same era, should also be political allies with a good relationship.

During the period of the first emperor, Wei Wensheng basically served as the military and political chief in the local area, and after the Holy Lord took charge, he quickly entered the center, from Wei Weiqing to the Ministry of Works, to the right general Wei, the left general of Wei, the criminal department of Shangshu, and the time when he rose to the core of the center, it was before Yang Su died of illness, from which it is not difficult to see that the Holy Lord has the intention of maintaining the position of the Heluo aristocratic group in the core of the center. This is inseparable from the fact that the Heluo aristocratic group headed by Yang Su helped the Holy Lord win the imperial rule, and the Holy Lord needs to support his political forces to firmly control the government with him, and the Heluo aristocratic group needs to continue to maintain its strength, and an ancient and rare old minister Wei Wen was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and a Yang Xuangan who was in the prime of life was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, theoretically speaking, this kind of "passing on the band" is very good, and when Yang Xuangan is older, his prestige is higher, his qualifications are older, and his control over the Heluo political group is stronger, Wei Wensheng can retire to retire and retire, however, in practice, because of the disturbance and impact of factors such as the concept of governance, power games, factional struggles, interest struggles, etc., the "pass-on gang" will often evolve into splitting and killing.

Judging from the current two-Beijing shape shì, Wei Wensheng and Yang Xuangan are already in an endless situation, the Heluo aristocratic group is not only divided, but also cannibalistic, the final result is obvious, even if Yang Xuangan is defeated, Wei Wensheng wins, the Heluo aristocratic group is also in a slump, and will definitely lose its position as the central core, and more importantly, because the Heluo aristocratic group is the core force that pushed the Holy Lord to the emperor's throne at the beginning, and then it is one of the important supporting forces of the Holy Lord, its betrayal is equivalent to giving the Holy Lord a fatal blow, Yan zhòng shook the foundation of the Holy Lord's rule. The original "three-legged" tripod suddenly broke a leg, can that tripod still stand?

Wei Wensheng was forced to a dead end by Yang Xuangan, and had to kill Yang Xuangan to do everything he could to save himself and save the Heluo aristocratic group, so it is normal for him to be "crazy", people have reached the point of desperation, of course, they will do everything, where is the bottom line?

"He is indeed crazy, he has killed the Hongnong Yang family, and the consequences can be imagined." Li Fengyun sighed, "However, this is not enough, it is not enough to deal a fatal blow to Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan), so I think that Wei Wensheng will do even more crazy things."

"Crazier?" Li Mi sneered, "What else can he do?" Does he still dare to uproot the Hongnong Yang clan?"

Li Fengyun wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say it, "Wei Wensheng killed so many people in one go, all of them are Yue Gong and your closest relatives and friends, and his purpose is to provoke you and make you lose your mind under the burning of anger, so you must be calm and don't fall for tricks."

"Yue Gong is very calm." Li Mi's eyes were worried, "At least so far, he has remained calm."

"If Wei Wensheng does something even crazier, will Yue Gong still be able to stay calm?" Li Fengyun asked tentatively.

Li Mi didn't speak, worried, a little low, sighed, and said, "He is not an old Yue Gong after all."

Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, stepped on the white bones to the pinnacle of power, hard-hearted, tenacious-willed, except for the ruthless years, nothing can destroy him, and Yang Xuangan is a typical second generation of officials, under the protection of Yang Su, smooth sailing, has not experienced the baptism of storms, let alone the ordeal of life and death, so he has the courage and courage to launch a military coup, but he may not have the will of a rock to bear the terrible blow.

Li Fengyun's heart pounded suddenly, and the strong feeling of suffocation made him can't help but let out a heavy breathing sound. I have tried my best, but I still can't change the trajectory of the wheel of history, the wind and clouds I set off on both sides of the river, the raging waves on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, but just throw a few stones on the rough river surface, splash a few small waves, can not affect the direction of the river rush at all. In the history in memory, Wei Wensheng wanted to dig up the grave and burn the corpse, which was no different from Wu Zixu's exhumation of the tomb and whipping the corpse in the Spring and Autumn Period, which touched Yang Xuangan's bottom line, and it was something that Yang Xuangan could not bear, and Yang Xuangan was bound to take revenge. [,！ To kill Wei Wensheng and slaughter the soldiers of Xijing, this may be the reason why he was stranded on the battlefield in the Eastern Capital, and this irrational "stranding" completely destroyed the mutiny.

The change in Li Fengyun's expression made Li Mi see the fear in his heart, "You're worried?"

Li Fengyun smiled, shook his head, and decisively changed the topic, "Zheng Yuanshou's defeat at Hangu Pass, will it affect the advance speed of the Xijing army?" After the victory at Hangu Pass, did Yue Gong go west to Kun, Mi, kill Hongnong, and make a posture of attacking Guanzhong?"

"It is rumored that the Xijing army that rushed to the aid of the eastern capital was only 25,000 men." Li Mi said with a pun.

Li Fengyun frowned slightly, "How is this possible?" There are at least 40,000 troops in the three counties of Xijing and Jingfu, plus the garrison troops in the west and north of Guanzhong, at least 70,000 troops can be gathered, so if nothing else, Wei Wensheng should be able to lead 40,000 horses to aid the eastern capital."

"Now there's an accident." Li Mi said with a smile.

"In this way, Tuyuhun's fierce counterattack in the West Sea and the potential danger of Yuan Hongji in Honghua have already had a severe impact on Xijing."

Li Mi bowed slightly, "Now Xijing not only does not dare to transfer the Zhenshu army that guards the west and north of Guanzhong back to Beijing, but also has to transfer troops from Xijuan to reinforce Heyou, so it has caused a shortage of troops. If Wei Wensheng hadn't killed in Xijing this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to defy public opinion and take out 25,000 people to rush to the aid of the Eastern Capital. Wei Wensheng's troops are insufficient, and he must hope that the Jingfu Governor's Mansion, as well as Zheng Yuanshou's army, there are more than 40,000 people in one place, so that he can fight, but Zheng Yuanshou was defeated, almost the whole army was wiped out, Wei Wensheng was difficult to support alone, and it was difficult to do anything on the battlefield of the eastern capital by relying only on the Xijing army, and it was possible to follow in the footsteps of Zheng Yuanshou if he was not careful, so in a certain opinion, Wei Wensheng was forced to have no choice but to change his strategy, switch from attack to defense, and stick to Tongguan." Li Mi said this, with a sad face, "I knew that Zheng Yuanshou was vulnerable and collapsed in an instant, so it was better to give him Hangu Pass, lure him to the eastern capital, and wait until Wei Wen was promoted to Hangu Pass, and then surround and annihilate him."

Li Fengyun didn't speak, and was silent.

Li Mi glanced at him and continued, "Yue Gong's countermeasure is to first concentrate his forces to defeat Li Hun, take Lishui, return to the front line of Luocang and Kim Yong City, completely surround the imperial city and Beiguo in the eastern capital, and storm day and night, forcing Shangshu Province, which has retreated to Heyang, to continue to put pressure on Wei Wensheng, forcing Wei Wensheng to enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital to fight a decisive battle with me."

Li Fengyun nodded again and again, agreeing with what Li Mi said, "How is the Liyang shape?"

"According to the latest news from Yuan Wuben, by the afternoon of June 18, all your men and horses had evacuated Liyang, and Li Zixiong had also left, and at the same time, Li Shanheng crossed the river from Baima. Yuan Wuben wanted to sacrifice the city to the king of Qi according to the policy of the Yue Gong, so he began negotiations with Li Shanheng, and according to Li Shanheng, the king of Qi and Dong Chun also arrived in White Horse City on June 18. As for whether the King of Qi crossed the river and entered the Liyang battlefield, and whether he accepted Yuan Wuben's surrender and took Liyang City first, he could only know tomorrow when he received an urgent report from Yuan Wuben. However, according to a certain inference, since a conflict broke out between the King of Qi and Li Shanheng, the possibility of the King of Qi crossing the river into Liyang is very small."

Li Fengyun sighed secretly. Although the alliance got out of the whirlpool of Liyang, the time for looting the Liyang warehouse was too short, and the food and other materials obtained could not support the alliance's 200,000 people to fight at all.

"How do you cooperate with Yue Gong?" Li Fengyun took the initiative to ask.

"From this day on, the heavy task of attacking the imperial city from the east, south, and west will be entrusted to you." Li Mi said, "Yue Gong led all the main forces into the western line of Pishan, and while attacking the northern line of the eastern capital, he captured Jingu, cut off Dengjin and Mengjin, cut off all the connections between the eastern capital and Heyang, recuperated and prepared to fight to the death with Wei Wensheng."

Li Fengyun agreed. The two discussed some more details, and Li Mi got up to say goodbye.

Li Fengyun got up to see him off, and when he walked out of the lobby, he still couldn't help but mention a jian.
