Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the same time on the Jiyin battlefield, Wei Yunqi also maintained restraint and did not attack the righteous army, and the unimpeded passage of the Tongji Canal enabled all parties to continue to maintain a "tacit understanding", so on the battlefield of Tongji Canal shriveled in scorching heat, although the situation was suffocating, no force took the initiative to break the "tacit understanding", and everyone was patiently waiting for the emergence of changes.
The "harmony" on the battlefield did not ease the tension in the Eastern Capital, on the contrary, all kinds of rumors were rampant, but instead set off an uproar in the Eastern Capital.
The strictest rumor is that the white thief is a chess piece laid out by the king of Qi in advance, and the king of Qi is a typical "thief shouting to catch the thief", the king of Qi is suspected of rebellion, and the evidence is also very conclusive, Wei Baoluan lost Jiyin County, Wei Yunqi Jishui was defeated, and the white thief after the growth was not only not withdrawn to Qilu under the unfavorable situation of the king of Qi's rebellion in Beijing, but stayed, and he wanted to give the king of Qi a great credit, and the fact is also the case, now the chaos has become a comfort, and the thief has become Zhao'an, The mystery of this is clear at a glance.
King Qi was caught off guard and suddenly fell into passivity. In the Eastern Capital, large and small political forces invariably made a common voice, the king of Qi must prove his innocence by killing, must use the head of a traitor to counter the false accusations of political enemies, and must establish his own merits with white bones; On the battlefield of Tongji Canal, the "tacit understanding" between different forces was no longer maintainable, and it was the King of Qi who broke the "tacit understanding", and he became the target of everyone.
King Qi was in a hurry and planned to attack in order to counter the rumors of the Eastern Capital, and Li Shanheng had the same idea. Li Shanheng is a veteran of the battlefield, rich in actual combat experience, especially has a keen intuition for danger, and a series of unusual actions of the white thieves on the battlefield of Tongjiqu today made him feel uneasy. Although the level of strength does affect and even determine the outcome of the battle, Tongjiqu is a special battlefield, and the white thief is also a special opponent, and must be attacked by special means, otherwise it is very likely to "carelessly lose Jingzhou".
Wei Fusi retorted with one sentence, "Why did the white thief stay in Tongji Canal? β
At present, on the battlefield of Tongji Canal, the biggest mystery is this. King Qi led the army to fight the chaos violently, and the white thieves not only did not evacuate in time, but put on a decisive battle posture, why is this? Is it really because the white thief is arrogant and empty-eyed, and he doesn't know what to say? This is definitely impossible, the white thief is an ordinary person, from the fact that he integrated the rebels of southwest Lu to form an alliance, and from the fact that he persuaded the thieves from all walks of life to go west to the Central Plains and plunder the Tongji Canal, it can be seen that he has a strategy and must not be taken lightly.
Now that the white thief wants to fight the king of Qi, there is only one reasonable explanation, he is sure to defeat the king of Qi. So, where does his certainty come from? In Wei Fusi's words, "There are too many internal thieves, and it is impossible to prevent them." β
King Qi and Li Shanheng looked at each other speechlessly. Wei Fusi is right, there are indeed too many thieves under King Qi's account now, and they are all in the army. After the "immorality" case broke out, the emperor not only swept away all the cronies and subordinates around King Qi, but also replaced the grassroots officers in the 20,000 army under King Qi, and the political enemies of King Qi took advantage of this opportunity to secretly cover their own people, and the result can be imagined. The King of Qi had 20,000 troops, which sounds really impressive, but the reality is that the King of Qi cannot completely control these 20,000 troops, let alone command them like an arm.
If the Tongjiqu battlefield is a trap, and the white thief and the rebel alliance are a bait, the king of Qi will rush up to it regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, which is equivalent to swallowing the bait in one bite, and it is difficult to predict what will happen after swallowing the bait. Judging from the greedy faces of the tigers and wolves in the Eastern Capital, and from the vital interests of the local forces in Henan and the local government and Yingyang Mansion on the front line of Tongji Canal, it is inferred that after the King of Qi swallowed the bait, he was very likely to be hooked by the hook, and he lost the initiative, and had to let the enemy lead the way, and had to embark on the road of no return to break with the Eastern Capital and betray the central government, and contend with the emperor Father and son.
Wei Fusi questioned Li Shanheng, "As soon as Wei Yushi entered Jiyang, the rebels appeared in the southern area of the Ji and Hehe lines, and Chen Chongbing blocked the defense to ensure the safety of the retreat, why is this?" Could it be that the white thief has no prophet?
Li Shanheng's expression was grim and he didn't say a word. He knows the meaning behind Wei Fusi's words, every move on his side is clearly seen by the white thief, there is no way to fight this battle, just like Wei Yunqi's Jishui battle, the tent is full of internal thieves, no matter how you fight, you will lose, it is better to calculate it, lose to Yu Jingjing, and pull you to be a cushion when you die. It's just that Wei Yunqi can afford to lose, but King Qi can't afford to lose, this time out of Beijing can be described as frightening, and you can't make a mistake.
Wei Fusi also warned the King of Qi, "The rumors in the Eastern Capital are rampant because someone wants to push you into a trap, if you take the initiative to fight, you will fall into the hands of the enemy, so you must be calm at this moment and do not be impatient." β
King Qi frowned and sighed, "The rumors in the Eastern Capital are just the beginning, once someone cuts off the Tongji Canal, Lone will be in a dilemma." β
Wei Fusi sneered, "Since the white thief killed the Tongji Canal, he has been very restrained in the plundering of the Tongji Canal, and he has also tried his best to restrain the thieves under him, with only one purpose, to do his best to keep the Tongji Canal unblocked. As long as the canal is unblocked, the situation will be controllable, otherwise, the situation will get out of control, the crisis will explode, and the conflict will escalate, which will not benefit him in the slightest. The situation in the Tongji Canal is very unfavorable for the White Thief now, but have you noticed that he is still keeping the Tongji Canal open, why is that? From the position of the group of tigers and wolves in the eastern capital, in order to force you into a trap, cutting off the Tongji Canal is a necessary means, and the white thief is the best candidate to cut off the Tongji Canal, but the white thief not only did not cut off the Tongji Canal, but is still trying to keep the Tongji Canal unblocked, what is the mystery in this move? β
King Qi had an understanding. Li Shanheng's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Does the white thief intend to deliver some kind of message?" β
"If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Wei Fusi said with a smile, "The white thief has an alliance and strength, so he naturally has more ideas, and his ambitions are greater, and he is even more unwilling to be a pawn to be slaughtered by others." β
King Qi pondered and was silent for a long time.
He is dismissive of the white thief, but he does extraordinary things at all times, since Wei Fusi speculates that the white thief has the intention of showing goodwill, it is necessary to adjust the strategy, if the "bait" really has its own will and wants to change its fate, it will be a good thing for his side, it will help his side to kill the trap and give the political enemies of the Eastern Capital a counterattack, so he should meet with sincerity and talk.
"How sure are you?" King Qi asked.
Wei Fusi thought for a moment and said, "More than seventy percent sure." β
King Qi was surprised. Li Shanheng was even more surprised, "If this is a conspiracy of Shandong people......"
Wei Fusi shook his hand and interrupted Li Shanheng's words, "I decided to go in person." β
The headquarters of the Rebel Alliance.
Li Mi found Li Fengyun and offered an attack strategy.
Li Fengyun stood in front of the map, listened to Li Mi's explanation, thought for a long time, and asked, "Night attack?" Should the inside be combined with the outside? How sure are you? What does this mean is that if so-and-so's army successfully evades the detection of enemy scouts in the process of advancing and crosses the three waterways of Bianshui, Suishui and Tongji Canal, and quietly arrives outside the official camp to attack, can you help us open the gate of the enemy camp along the way? β
Li Migang wanted to answer, Li Fengyun waved his hand to stop it, and said solemnly, "The camp of King Qi is between the two cities of Junyi and Chenliu, only about twenty miles away from the two cities, the enemy's support will be very fast, and the attack time of our army is very limited. β
Li Mi smiled slightly, "It is precisely because the attack conditions are very bad that we can take it by surprise, and the enemy will not think of it, and we will not be able to take precautions, so it gives us the opportunity to attack the enemy unprepared." β
Li Fengyun glanced at Li Mi meaningfully, smiling without smiling, revealing a cold killing intent, "Since there is a danger of annihilation of the entire army, since the attack conditions are bad, is it necessary to take the risk of attacking?" β
"In terms of strength, the two armies are facing each other, and you have no chance of defeating the King of Qi at all." Li Mi said unceremoniously, "In addition to using strange and tricky, in addition to taking risks, what other way do you have to defeat King Qi?" You can fulfill your promise to stay and fight the king of Qi, and you will put yourself to death, in that case, why don't you trust so-and-so? Why is suspicion bad for you? Could it be that you insist on staying in Tongjiqu because you have another plan? β
Li Fengyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile became stronger, "If you suspect that a certain person has ill intentions, a certain person can immediately evacuate the Tongji Canal, but a certain person has fulfilled his promise to you, and you must also abide by the promise to a certain person, and don't go back on your word." β
Li Mi also laughed, "At this time, you still want to evacuate the Tongji Canal safely?" If a certain person cuts off the Tongji Canal, if the Yingyang Mansion on the front line of the Tongji Canal and the Henan local township group attack together, and cooperate with the King of Qi's rebel army to encircle and intercept it, do you think you still have a chance to return to Mengshan to be your mountain king? β
Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "In this way, the Zheng clan of Xingyang and the Yang clan of Hongnong have reached an agreement, and the Henan people and the Yingru people have also begun to work together, you want to eat the king of Qi and a certain in one bite, and then hold high the banner of the king of Qi, imitate the Han king Yang Liang back then, attack the eastern capital, change the imperial system, and provoke a civil war, right?" β
Li Mi was calm and calm, and shook his hand again and again, "Your imagination is too rich and too naΓ―ve. The affairs of the Eastern Capital are far more complicated than you think, and any change will cause infinite variables, so there is no one-size-fits-all strategy in this world, and there is no immutable layout, only a consistent goal, and our goal is to defeat the King of Qi. β
Li Mi pointed at Li Fengyun, and his expression suddenly became stern, "But you once told SΓΉ that you supported King Qi to inherit the imperial lineage, which is contrary to our goal." β
Li Fengyun's face gradually became gloomy, and a trace of murderous aura quietly flashed in his eyes.
