Dong Chun was shocked to hear that Li Min's entire army had been annihilated, and immediately ordered his troops to withdraw to Pengcheng and stand by on the front line of Heshui.

He had expected that Li Fengyun would be very angry at King Qi's "treachery", but from the position of King Qi, it was a matter of his life and the political interests of the group, of course, he could not hand over his future to an anti-thief, of course, he had to march into Tongji Canal to firmly control the situation, so Wei Fusi and Dong Chun were also in favor of this decision, and estimated that Li Fengyun, who was being dragged down by hundreds of thousands of Hebei thieves and Qilu thieves, was completely lacking in skills, and had no time to take care of it, so he could only let King Qi control the overall situation. Unexpectedly, they speculated wrongly, underestimated Li Fengyun's violence and ferocity, and did not expect Li Fengyun to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and he drew his sword mercilessly, killing him with one blow, and eating Li Min to the point that there were no bones left overnight.

King Qi was angry, and slapped Li Fengyun in the face so publicly, and was beaten by a thief and his nose was blue and swollen, and his face was too big and ugly. The king of Qi gritted his teeth, wanted revenge, wanted to fight in the Central Plains, and asked Dong Chun to lead the Pengcheng army to kill Bentong Jiqu first.

Wei Fusi immediately dissuaded. There are pros and cons to everything, although this time it did slap Li Fengyun in the face, and King Qi's face was lost, but it was not that there were no benefits at all, on the contrary, Li Fengyun was still very generous, and after a slap, he stuffed a handful of sweet dates. After the annihilation of Li Min's entire army, the King of Qi's room for maneuver in politics increased a lot, which not only effectively refuted the rumors that he and Li Fengyun had a tacit understanding with each other, but also "drawn" the line between him and Li Zixiong, which was very conducive to King Qi's "blackmail" of the Holy Lord on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital in the future.

After weighing the gains and losses, the king of Qi accepted Wei Fusi's advice, held back his anger, and temporarily wrote down the account, vowing that he would have the opportunity to get it back with interest.

Liyang's Yang Xuangan was also shocked. It is already surprising that Li Min crossed the border to chase and kill in the name of suppressing thieves, but this is beneficial to Yang Xuangan, after all, Li Min is one of the participants in the mutiny, and he is leading the army into Tongji Canal at this moment, obviously being able to actively respond to Yang Xuangan after the mutiny explodes and increase Yang Xuangan's strength. However, the wind and clouds changed abruptly, and in a blink of an eye, Li Min's entire army was wiped out, and he was eaten by the white thief Li Fengyun so that there was not even a slag left. This is too unbelievable, as far as Yang Xuangan knows, the relationship between Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun is extraordinary, otherwise Li Zixiong would not have been able to persuade Li Fengyun to participate in the mutiny, but the facts in front of him are irrefutable, how can this be explained? What is the secret between Li Fengyun, King Qi and Li Zixiong?

But soon Yang Xuangan was angered by another news. After Han Xiangguo raised the flag, he immediately entered the territory of Yuzhou to burn, kill and plunder, this was purely an act of death, did Han Xiangguo lose his mind and go crazy or was he bewitched by others, and he actually killed himself? Didn't he know that this move would anger the Yingru nobles, sabotage Yang Xuangan's plan, and affect the impending mutiny?

Just when Yang Xuangan was upset by the news that followed, and he was a little scrambling to take care of one or the other, Li Min, who was eaten by Li Fengyun, suddenly appeared in Liyang magically, which made Yang Xuangan not only surprised, but also had new expectations for the situation in Tongji Canal.

Li Min brought many secrets, which made Yang Xuangan have a more intuitive understanding and clear understanding of the situation on the front line of Qilu and Tongji Canal, but he scoffed at Li Fengyun's request and disdained Li Min's persuasion. At present, it is impossible for him to give Li Fengyun food, the reason is very simple, don't look at him to supervise the grain and grass in Liyang, hold great power, have the attention of everyone, and have unlimited scenery, but because of this, he has also become the target of public criticism, and has been targeted by various forces with interests such as Dongdu, Xijing and Hebei, and the slightest change will be detected, accused, impeached, and always in danger. In this case, Yang Xuangan felt that if the guards stole and secretly took the grain from Liyang Cang to support Li Fengyun, the result can be imagined, and it would be difficult to die.

Li Min was helpless and passed on Li Fengyun's message.

Yang Xuangan was furious, he was a wealthy nobleman, a ruler of the dynasty, and he was coerced by a thief, which is tolerable, but unbearable. What especially made Yang Xuan angry was that he took Li Mi as his envoy and gave high hopes to Li Mi, hoping that Li Mi could use his wisdom to grasp the initiative in the complex chaos and promote the situation in the Central Plains in a direction conducive to mutiny, but Li Mi obviously lived up to Yang Xuangan's expectations, did not complete his mission, not only failed to control the chaos in the Central Plains, but was deeply involved in it, and was played by Li Fengyun in the palm of his hand. The deployment of the two places in Henan was all controlled by Li Fengyun.

In this way, Yang Xuangan became passive, and the entire mutiny plan fell into passivity. Next, in order to make the mutiny go smoothly, Yang Xuangan had to accept and recognize Li Fengyun's dominant position in the mutiny, and had to compromise and make concessions to Li Fengyun in exchange for Li Fengyun's support and cooperation in this mutiny, that is to say, Yang Xuangan's mutiny decision-making power was forcibly robbed of part by Li Fengyun, a robber, who was unreasonable, which led to a sudden increase in the risk of failure of the mutiny. The mutiny will inevitably spiral out of control.

Yang Xuangan urgently summoned allies and staff to discuss countermeasures.

At present, the political allies in Liyang include Wang Zhongbo, the general of Hu Benlang who is in charge of garrisoning Liyang Cang, and Zhao Huaiyi, the Zanwu of Ji County, where Liyang is located. Wang Zhongbo and Zhao Huaiyi are both from Tianshui, Longxi, both are children of the family, both are old subordinates of Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, and they are both the backbone of the political zhì group with Yang Su as the core.

The county zanwu is the "product" of the reform of administrative divisions and bureaucracy for the purpose of centralizing and streamlining power, integrating the functions and powers of the governor and the governor in the past, and is located under the taishou, in fact, there were too many officials in the past and could not be resettled after the reform, so the number of officials at the county level was increased to reduce the contradictions and conflicts between the vested interests and the central government. But the county praise is only set up in the upper county with a large population, for example, Qi County does not have it, Qi County belongs to the middle county, and Zhang Xutuo, the second person in Qi County, has the official position of the county Cheng. However, in the actual "operation", Zanwu basically leads the Taishou authority on behalf of the central government, because the rank of the Shangjun Taishou is from the third grade, which is equivalent to the deputy governor Shilang of Shangshutai, the deputy governor of the Central Government of the Nine Temples Shaoqing, and the general of the Twelve Wei Mansions, and in the context of the centralization of power, it is impossible for the central government to place many high-ranking officials in the local area, so as not to confront the central government, so those who are in the upper county are the five products of the Zanwu on behalf of the Taishou authority, it has become a conventional means for the central government to weaken local power.

Zhao Huaiyi, the county governor, is the de facto supreme administrator of Ji County, and Wang Zhongbo is the supreme military governor of this region, both of whom are allies of Yang Xuangan, and they are both determined to mutiny with Yang Xuangan, so Yang Xuangan certainly has the best conditions for mutiny.

At present, the main staff members around Yang Xuangan are Hu Shitan, a famous scholar from Guanlong, who has profound literary attainments, belongs to the older generation of Confucianism, and is also a good friend of Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong; There are Kong Yingda from the Kong family in Hebei, Shandong celebrities, Taixue teaching assistants, and the pillars of Confucianism in China.

Li Min also participated in the secret meeting. Li Min's army was defeated in Bianshui, the whole army was annihilated, the official news was that life and death were uncertain, and many friends were quite sad when they heard this bad news, including Hu Shitan, Kong Yingda, Zhao Huaiyi and Wang Zhongbo, who participated in the secret discussion today, but they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, they saw Li Min who was "uncertain about life and death" next to Yang Xuangan, and they were surprised and immediately had more urgent worries about the situation in the Central Plains. Obviously, the situation in Tongji Canal was out of control, and Li Zixiong, King Qi, Li Fengyun, and Li Mi, who was running around in Song and Henan, did not seem to have really been able to control the situation on the front line of Tongji Canal, which would have a serious or even fatal impact on the July mutiny.

In accordance with Yang Xuangan's request, Li Min once again made a detailed analysis and deduction of the changes in the situation in Qilu in the past few months and the intricate interests of all parties after Li Fengyun entered the Central Plains for the second time, and most of the secrets came from Li Zixiong, so its authenticity is beyond doubt.

"According to what Jianchang Gong said, Li Fengyun once strongly advised him not to return to Donglai?" After thinking for a long time, Hu Shitan took the lead in breaking the silence.

Li Min glanced at Yang Xuangan with a little surprise, "This matter, a certain adult has not told Ming Gong?" ”

Yang Xuan felt a slight chin of his face. Although he and Li Zixiong are political allies, they belong to two different political groups after all, and they are two generations, Li Zixiong is an old-timer, of course, he has an innate psychological advantage, plus this old soldier is arrogant, he has been in a high position for a long time and has developed the habit of arrogance and domineering, and he always wants to occupy a dominant position in the matter of the mutiny, so there will inevitably be contradictions between the two, but fortunately, Li Zixiong takes into account the overall situation and does his best to promote the mutiny, and a certain amount of Cheng Dù also increases Yang Xuangan's confidence, But this does not mean that the two absolutely trust each other, on the contrary, they are more cautious and suspicious of each other, for example, both sides are worried about being betrayed by the other party, and this time if Li Zixiong did not pull Li Fengyun, a bandit, onto the "boat" of mutiny, Yang Xuangan would have less trust in him.

"What is Li Fengyun's reason?" Hu Shitan asked.

"Li Fengyun said that the Holy Lord knew that Ming Gong was his political enemy, but he arranged for him to supervise the grain and grass in Liyang Cang, and let Ming Gong jam the throat of the Eastern Expedition and make him the target of the public, which is a trap in itself." Li Min replied, "Now all forces are staring at Ming Gong, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it will definitely fall into a siege, and the mutiny is big, the plan is complicated, and there are too many preparations, it is impossible to conceal it without leakage, so Li Fengyun predicted that the mutiny must be carried out in advance because of exposure, and he predicted that the mutiny would be hastily launched in early June, that is, we are less than a month away from the period of the military change." ”

Everyone was discolored, the crows were silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Hu Shitan thought for a moment and said, "Li Fengyun is a very mysterious person, judging from his previous predictions, his deduction of the future situation is very accurate, not only because he has some secrets that we don't know through certain channels, but also because he has an amazing talent in deduction. When Hu Shitan said this, he looked at Li Min and said, "If you think about it carefully, when he made this prophecy, in addition to our own reasons that are difficult to keep secret, are there other reasons?"

Li Min frowned, tried his best to recall, and then hesitated, "I once heard from an adult that Li Fengyun predicted that the Tuyuhun people would make a comeback this spring, and the situation in Longxi would deteriorate rapidly, and the Holy Lord would definitely ask the Northwest Army to defend according to the danger and defend passively in order to avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, but Yuyang Gong (Yuan Hongsi) had the intention of using the Northwest Army to launch a mutiny, and he would inevitably go against the yang and the yin, and mobilize the army on a large scale to make an attack posture, so as to cover his intention to wait for the opportunity to go south to attack Xijing. ”

Yang Xuangan's face changed suddenly, Wang Zhongbo, Zhao Huaiyi and Kong Yingda were also shocked, and Hu Shitan exclaimed in surprise, "It's not good, Yuyang Gong is self-defeating, once the Holy Lord changes his commander in battle, the threat of Xijing is eliminated, and the attitude will inevitably be subverted, and the mutiny will be in danger." ”
