Li Fengyun evacuated through Xingyang, which would definitely change the tide of the battle, even if Zhou Fashang gave up the pursuit, but Pengcheng stayed behind to guard Dong Chun, Xingyang Taishou Xun Wang Yang Qing, and even included Yang Lan, the king of Qi in Liyang, would slow down the pace of entering the Eastern Capital battlefield under the pretext of chasing the traitors, which reduced Yang Xuangan's pressure on the Eastern Capital battlefield and gave him more time to break through Tongguan and enter the pass.

Li Fengyun's goal is to cross the river to the north, if the reinforcements from all walks of life follow and kill, it will be more difficult to cross the river to the north, but fortunately, Li Fengyun has been prepared for a long time, always under the banner of Han Xiangguo, it is foreseeable that when he goes out of Xingyang, there will be a plan for the golden cicada to get out of the shell. But Li Fengyun's escape too fast was obviously not conducive to Han Shige and feeling that it was not conducive to Han Shige and feeling that it was not conducive to their safe withdrawal to the eastern capital, so Yang Xuangan weighed it again and again, and intended to let Han Shige and Gu Jue make their own choices at the moment of life and death. In this way, Han Shige and Gu Jue not only preserved themselves, but also continued to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun on behalf of Yang Xuangan. This is completely in line with the interests of both sides, and Li Fengyun's previous purpose of taking the initiative to enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital is this, so as long as Han Shige and Gu Jue can understand Yang Xuangan's intentions and are willing to continue to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun on his behalf, Li Fengyun will definitely welcome it. Of course, if Han Shige and Gu Jue were unwilling to "fall into the grass", they had to withdraw to the Eastern Capital, and they had to follow Yang Xuangan to the west into Guanzhong, Yang Xuangan would not blame them.

However, this order still reflects a certain "tendency" of Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan hoped that they would hold out on the Xingyang battlefield for a longer time, but the longer they held, the greater the possibility of the entire army being annihilated, and if they wanted to protect themselves, they had to win Li Fengyun's cooperation, and they had to "sell" themselves to Li Fengyun in order to win Li Fengyun's help. Since he "sold" himself to Li Fengyun, of course he had to "sell" it at a good price, and if he put the mark of Yang Xuangan and continue to maintain the cooperation between the two sides and seek common interests in the future, of course, his value will be doubled. Yang Xuangan's "tendency" will definitely affect Han Shige and Gu Jue's decision-making.

That's why Hu Shitan sighed. Since entering the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the two sides have fought wits and courage to seize control and power, but Yang Xuangan has failed to win Li Fengyun with all his might, but has been "led by the nose" by Li Fengyun, and has been restrained everywhere, and now he has pinned his trust on Li Fengyun to save Han Shige and Gu Jue on the Xingyang battlefield, not only giving Li Fengyun more than 10,000 elite soldiers, but also begging others to "receive" in a low voice, which is simply aggrieved to death.

At the same time that Yang Xuan was worried about the Xingyang battlefield, the situation in Xingyang was deteriorating rapidly, and the shape was very unfavorable to Han Shige and Gu Jue.

On June 30, Zhou Fashang personally rushed to Luokou to supervise the battle. Wu Benlang attacked Luokou with all his strength and firmly contained Han Shige, and Wu Benlang will be ordered by Zhou Fashang to contain the rebels with a feint attack on Luokoucang, and at the same time suddenly kill the Tiger Prison with the main force. If the Tiger Prison is lost, Han Shige will be surrounded on the line between Luokou and Huangmaban, and what is even stricter is that with the fall of the Tiger Prison, the entire Xingyang battle situation will quickly collapse, and then the reinforcements from all walks of life in the Weifu will flock to the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, which is too strict for the mutiny alliance. However, if the line between Luokou and Huangmaban is abandoned, and the sailors are in the tiger prison and surround Luokoucang, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Xingyang battlefield and the Dongdu battlefield, and Han Shige and Gu Jue will actually be surrounded on the Xingyang battlefield and will be destroyed soon.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Han Shige made a decisive decision, preferring to annihilate his entire army, but also to stick to the Xingyang battlefield to contain the reinforcements from all walks of life, so as to buy Yang Xuangan more time to enter the pass west. Han Shige ordered to abandon Luokou, Huangmaban, withdraw to the tiger prison and hold on, and let the sailors cut off their connection with the battlefield in the eastern capital.

At dusk that day, Zhou Fashang's warship anchored in Luokou, and Fei Qingnu's soldiers came to the Tiger Prison and led the main force to continue to attack Luokoucang to threaten Yang Xuangan on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital.

On the same day, at the Jindi Pass in Xingyang County, Peng Cheng stayed behind Dong Chun to attack, while Lu Xingxing, the head of the alliance, held on to the pass, and the two sides fought very "fiercely", with arrows like clouds, drums and trumpets shaking the sky, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering.

However, this "tacit understanding" is temporary, if the main force of the alliance cannot withdraw from the battlefield in the eastern capital for a long time, if the situation in the eastern capital becomes more and more unfavorable to Li Fengyun, this "tacit understanding" will not be maintained, and it will inevitably tear its face in the end. Fortunately, Dong Chun has no advantage in terms of troops, and the forced attack will inevitably affect the future planning of Qi Wang Yang Lan, so even if the two sides tear their faces, Dong Chun will not dare to fight and lose both, but he will "let go" Lu Xingxing at most, but he is powerless against Li Fengyun.

For this reason, Dong Chun was worried, and secretly ordered his nephew Dong Jun to contact the alliance generals in the city several times to find out Li Fengyun's whereabouts, but Lu Xingxing also knew nothing, and he was also anxious and sleepless.

On the same day, Lu Xingxing sent an envoy to find the Wagang brothers, and finally met the Wagang Haoshuai Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, who were lurking in the old road of the Yellow River.

Lu Xingxing asked the Wagang brothers to help with two favors, one was to respond when the main force of the alliance evacuated Xingyang, and the method of response was not too dangerous, just to disguise Han Xiangguo's Song Yu righteous army when necessary, and "show his face" outside several towns on the south bank of Jishui, in order to achieve the purpose of deceiving the government and help the main force of the alliance "golden cicada get out of the shell" and leave, and the second is to ask Xu Shiyun to rush to Hebei quickly.

Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin agreed, this little favor is not worth mentioning, just a gesture, so the soldiers are divided into two ways, Zhai Rang took some of his brothers north to the big river to meet Xu Shiyi, and prepared ships to help Li Fengyun cross the river to the north, while Shan Xiongxin took some of his brothers to the south of Jishui, secretly lurking in the area of the Tianqian defense line, once the alliance army withdrew from Xingyang, they disguised themselves as Song Yu Yijun and acted according to the plan.

On June 30, the Donglai Water Division camp, the chief steward Lai Hu'er, and the chief Shi Cui Junsu received the edict of the Holy Lord.

The Holy Lord issued an edict to the water division on the sixteenth of this month, ordering them to abandon the expedition across the sea, concentrate all their forces, and rush to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible, the first task is to ensure the smooth flow of the North-South Grand Canal, the second is to ensure the safety of the eastern capital, and the third is that Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu is fully responsible for this counterinsurgency, and the holy lord asks Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang to cooperate and support Yu Wenshu, and strive to quell this storm in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost.

Laihu'er had already prepared for an expedition to cross the sea, and was ready to set off, but at the critical moment, Zhou Fashang was in a hurry, and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, rushed to enter the Liyang battlefield first, and the time for the restoration of the north-south Grand Canal was delayed indefinitely. Laihu'er was very decisive and resolutely postponed the voyage, but two days later, the edict of the Holy Lord to stop the crusade arrived.

Only an hour after reading out the edict of the Holy Lord and giving the order to rush to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, the sailor warship that was ready to go sailed out to sea under his command and headed straight for the mouth of the river.

On the first day of the seventh month, in the early morning, under the cover of night, Wei Wensheng led the Xijing soldiers to march hard and slowly in the mountains and forests.

The soldiers were hungry, relying only on strong will, only by killing horses to satisfy hunger, over the mountains and mountains for more than 200 miles to withdraw to Shaancheng, the difficulty was too great, especially those seriously injured, Yan zhòng lacked medicine, and there were not many who could survive in the end, so Wei Wensheng put the first target on Matou Mountain, which was thirty or forty miles away. Yesterday, the scouts carefully explored the area of Matou Mountain with the mountain hunters as their guides, and found that the rebels did not have many troops stationed on Matou Mountain, which gave Wei Wensheng a glimmer of hope.

Matou Mountain is located in the west of Mianchi City, and the direction of the rebels' blocking is in the east of Mianchi City, unless the Xijing army breaks through the defense line in the east of the city, otherwise the rebels will indeed not put the main army in the west of the city, so Wei Wensheng does have a chance to capture Matou Mountain, so he has room to maneuver, he has the opportunity to meet Zheng Yuanshou in Mianchi City, and if he can't do it, he can desperately block Yang Xuangan according to the danger of Matou Mountain, and give the wounded to quickly withdraw to Shaancheng to win time, of course, Shaancheng can also quickly replenish food and weapons, in short, As long as Wei Wensheng takes Matou Mountain, the Xijing army still has the possibility of turning defeat into victory and atonement for crime.

Pang Yu of the Prison Gate once again acted as the vanguard, and he led the elite of the Praetorian Guard up the mountain at dusk, and was the first to rush to Matou Mountain. In the early hours of the morning, Pang Yu led his army to Matou Mountain, and quickly launched a sneak attack, the result was unbelievable, the camp on the mountain was empty, there was no trace of the rebels, and he took Matou Mountain without much effort. Pang Yu ordered to set up a formation according to the danger, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the military situation in the direction of Michi, and then urgently reported to Wei Wensheng.

When Wei Wensheng heard the news, he was overjoyed, and even called it "luck", although he didn't know why the rebels suddenly withdrew from Matou Mountain, but Matou Mountain was in hand, this is the most important thing, God gave him a chance to make a comeback, and this opportunity could not be let go no matter what.

Wei Wensheng ordered to tell the good news to all the officers and men of the army in order to boost morale and speed up the march.

Almost at the same time, on the line of Qianqiu Pavilion and Gu Bobi, under the cover of night, the alliance army quietly crossed the river.

When the rooster crowed, Li Fengyun and Yuan An took two hundred Fengyun guards, the last group crossed the valley, and then strode towards Hangu Pass.

When the morning sun rose in the east, Li Fengyun and the alliance soldiers were already close to Hangu Pass.

And in the west of Mianchi City, Pang Yu, the general of the Jianmen Zhige, and Wu Benlang, the general Hu Si Wanshou and thousands of soldiers under his command, cautiously, suspiciously, and incredulously "killed" under the city of Mianchi, where are the rebels? Why is there no trace?

Similarly, Zheng Yuanshou, Dugu Wudu and Wei Fufei, who were standing on the city tower, looked at the Xijing army under the city, and they were also dumbfounded and unbelievable, they broke through? Where are the rebels? What really happened that night?

At the same time, Yang Xuangan commanded the army to launch an attack on the front line of Xiaoxin'an City, and what greeted him? What is he up against?
