This time, the main battlefield was in Liang County, so it was natural for Li Fengyun to solve the matter of Han Xiangguo.

In history, Han Xiangguo responded positively after Yang Xuan's mutiny, gathered 100,000 horses on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and killed the eastern capital directly through Yuzhou, but Yang Xuan felt defeated too quickly, and he was defeated before Han Xiangguo entered the eastern capital, and then Han Xiangguo was surrounded and suppressed by the official army on all sides, outnumbered, and annihilated near Xiangcheng.

If Li Fengyun wants to achieve his goal on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, he depends on many conditions, taking the East is an important condition, and increasing Yang Xuangan's strength is also an important condition. Strength is the foundation, without strength, you can't lay down the eastern capital, and you can't confront the holy lord, but Li Fengyun has his own plans, he has no intention of sacrificing himself to fulfill Yang Xuangan and bury Yang Xuangan, so he is determined to change the fate of Han Xiangguo, if Han Xiangguo raises the flag in advance and works together with the alliance army to enter the eastern capital, then Yang Xuangan can get Han Xiangguo's full help, and there will be a qualitative leap in strength in the short term, which is obviously conducive to Yang Xuangan to take the eastern capital and hold on to the Eastern Capital battlefield for a longer time.

Li Fengyun did not have the confidence to change history, but he had the confidence to change the fate of Han Xiangguo, he had changed the fate of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Cui Hongsheng, the duke of Huangtai, with these two successful precedents, he was very confident, he concluded that Yang Xuangan must quickly adjust the mutiny strategy after the situation in the eastern capital was deliberately changed by himself, including letting Han Xiangguo raise the flag to rebel in advance on the front line of Tongji Canal, so as not to miss the opportunity.

Li Mi also has the same idea, Han Xiangguo's "chess" must be moved in advance, otherwise it will be scrapped, when the Eastern Capital Army and the Alliance Righteous Army fight fiercely on the battlefield of Tongji Canal, the two sides of Tongji Canal will inevitably fall into chaos, and the consequences can be imagined, so Han Xiangguo has no choice but to raise the flag in advance, although Li Fengyun was cheaper in vain, and swept both sides of the Tongji Canal without much effort, making a lot of money, but there is no way, this cheap can only be given to Li Fengyun, otherwise Yang Xuangan will suffer too much, After all, the loss of Han Xiangguo's armed forces is equivalent to losing the direct support of Song and Henan, which is not a big blow to Yang Xuangan.

Li Mi took the initiative to reveal Han Xiangguo's secret to Li Fengyun, as well as Han Xiangguo's important role in this mutiny, and then proposed to build a yì, so that Han Xiangguo would immediately raise the flag and start an incident, Li Fengyun cooperated with all his might, not only to give Han Xiangguo enough time to gather people, but also to give Han Xiangguo a short time to grow, otherwise a group of rabble is meaningless.

Li Fengyun just wanted to "sleep" here, Li Mi sent a "pillow" on his side, which made Li Fengyun's heart flutter, with Li Mi's promotion, it must be twice the result with half the effort, Han Xiangguo raised the flag in advance is already a certainty, and this matter will be beneficial to the alliance to alleviate the current food crisis and cross the river north in the future, but the only thing that needs to be guarded against is Li Mi, don't be calculated because you get carried away.

At the same time, the atmosphere was very tense in Junyi Fortress in Xingyang County, the source of the Bianshui River, an important eastern town of Gyeonggi Tianqian Pass, and there were signs of fighting in the south.

In the Governor's Mansion, Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang, Fei Yao, the general of Wu Benlang, and Cui Baode, the governor of Xingyang, looked grim, and they were arguing over whether to go south to Liang County to suppress the thieves

The attitude of Yang Qing, the king of Xun, was very resolute, before the order of the eastern capital was issued, the garrison army could not go out of the pass, and could not go south to Liangjun to suppress thieves, and it was necessary to ensure the safety of Xingyang and the safety of Gyeonggi. If Xingyang is invaded by thieves, it will inevitably endanger the security of Gyeonggi and even the eastern capital, so his responsibility will be greater, so from the perspective of his own interests, Yang Qing naturally has to make decisions related to the military.

Yang Qing, the king of Xun, has always been cautious, walking for fear of the leaves breaking the head, and he is the local administrator, according to the law, he is not qualified to be involved in military affairs, but this time Yang Qing is abnormal, not only rushed to the front line of customs defense as soon as the Tongji Canal crisis broke out, but also took the initiative to get involved in military affairs, preventing the Weifu army from going south to suppress thieves, this problem is strict, and there are obviously deeper reasons behind it.

Fei Yao was ordered to sit in Junyi, fully responsible for the safety of the Tongji Canal, the responsibility is heavy, if the interruption of the Tongji Canal endangers the Second Eastern Crusade, he will lose his head, so even if the identity of King Yang Qing is respected, he can't take care of it at this moment, his own life is not guaranteed, and he doesn't care what kind of relatives he is, no one will give face, and he will resolutely take the Guan garrison to the south to suppress the thieves.

"The white thief is coming, and the Tongji Canal is in danger of being interrupted, how can a certain turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye?"

Fei Yao was impassioned and questioned Yang Qing mercilessly.

Yang Qing was embarrassed, very depressed, and the atmosphere was very stiff.

Cui Baode had to mediate. Cui Baode is the captain of Xingyang, although the main responsibility is to guard the gate of Gyeonggi, but if the Tongji Canal is interrupted, he will not be able to run to the Yu Department, so he supports Fei Yao to go south to Liang County to suppress the thief, but the white thief is not what it used to be, the strength is not bad, in the battlefield of Qi County with one to three, although the defeat is still glorious, such a thief, it is obviously difficult to win only by relying on the Guanfang garrison, and more importantly, once Fei Yao is defeated, the customs defense will be dangerous, so Cui Baode had to remind Fei Yao, "If you want to ensure the safety of the Tongji Canal, you must do it in the shortest possible time, Completely defeat the white thief with lightning speed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. "The implication is that you are absolutely sure that you will be able to destroy the white thief in one fell swoop?

Fei Yao was speechless. He only had two thousand four hundred guards in the twelve regiments of the Eagle Yang Mansion, and how many thieves did the white thief have? It is roughly estimated that there are at least more than 20,000 people who can fight, and in the early spring, Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, was defeated by the white thieves in the battle of Zhongchuan Shui, and it is rumored that if it were not for the fact that some of the thieves were in order to preserve their strength, they were passive and sluggish, and they did not contribute to the work, Zhang Xutuo was very likely to be wiped out. If the white thief really has such a strong strength, wouldn't Fei Yao go into the mouth of the tiger and bring about his own defeat?

"A certain agrees with King Xun's opinion that if the white thief wants to loot more supplies on the Tongji Canal, he can't interrupt the Tongji Canal, and he must keep the Tongji Canal open, otherwise he will find nothing." Cui Baode continued, "Of course, the white thief must be killed, and this scourge must be eradicated, but at present, our strength alone is far from enough, and we can only destroy it completely if we have absolute superiority." ”

Fei Yao knew that Cui Baode had actually expressed his attitude, although he supported sending troops to suppress the thieves, but he did not approve of attacking now, now is not the best time to suppress the thieves, only when the reinforcements from the Eastern Capital came, and the Weifu Army had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, it was possible to decide a battle, and the white thieves could be completely destroyed.

Fei Yao hesitated, in a dilemma, his life was at stake, he couldn't afford to gamble.

"At present, the Tongji Canal is still unblocked, and the ships from the south of the Yangtze River are still coming in a steady stream, which is a fact, although the thieves are looting on the canal, but from the accounts of the boatmen and sailors who escaped, it can be inferred that the thieves have not been wiped out, and there is still a certain leeway, and their purpose is self-evident."

Cui Baode looked at Yang Qing, the king of Xun, who was a little slower, and then looked at Fei Yao, who was hesitant, and after a little muttering, he said in a low voice, "Since the Tongji Canal is still unblocked, and the counties along the canal have not fallen one after another, it is enough to prove that the crisis of the Tongji Canal is not strict now, and the thieves in Liang County are still under control......"

Fei Yao was anxious when he heard this, Cui Baode's meaning was obvious, that is, to deceive the superiors and subordinates, deliberately cover up the facts to deceive the Eastern Capital and the Holy Lord, and to passively slack off the war in order to form some kind of "tacit understanding" with the white thieves, in fact, it is to copy the old method of solving the Tongji Canal crisis last year, but the question is, is the essence of the Tongji Canal crisis this time the same as last year's Tongji Canal crisis? Isn't the purpose the same? If the essence and purpose are different, it is obvious that the same approach will not solve different crises. Besides, if the white thief's head is hot, or if his subordinates do not listen to his orders, act recklessly, and cut off the Tongji Canal, will the shape shì not get out of control?

"It is an indisputable fact that the white thieves plundered the Tongji Canal again, and the Tongji Canal crisis broke out again." Fei Yao said, "The Holy Lord has long anticipated and guarded against this, the Holy Lord has issued an edict before leaving the Eastern Capital, as long as the Tongji Canal is in an emergency, the Eastern Capital army will urgently support. Now that we have called the police to the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital army will soon come to support, in that case, what are we worried about? ”

"Aren't you worried?" Cui Baode asked meaningfully, "Who is in charge of Dongdu now?" Will he make the judgment that the crisis has exploded and is getting out of control? If he is skeptical of our recitals and is willing to use this crisis to fight his opponents in court, will he still send troops to the rescue? Will there be timely rescue? If he had sent troops to the rescue in time, how many reinforcements would he have sent? What do we do if the number of reinforcements is limited and we can't change our current passive position on the battlefield of Tongjiqu? Something happened and the Tongji Canal was interrupted, who is responsible? Is it ours, or is it from the Eastern Capital? ”

Fei Yao's face was a little ugly, how did this sound not tasteful, it had the meaning of provoking right and wrong, but Fei Yao was powerless to refute, it is true, compared with last year, the political situation in the eastern capital today is more intense and conflicting, almost desperate.

Last year, the left-behind ministers mainly undertook the important task of stabilizing the Beijing division and coordinating the grain and grass, and the decision-making power was always controlled by the holy lord and the center on the battlefield in Liaodong, and this year the left-behind minister in Beijing was a prince, Yang Tong, the emperor and grandson of Yue, he had part of the decision-making power, but Yang Dong was young and did not do more, so this part of the decision-making power was actually controlled in the hands of the minister who assisted the king of Yue, that is, the eastern capital was left behind, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Fan Zigai.

Fan Zigai is a native of Jianghuai, belongs to the Jiangzuo aristocratic group, starting from the grassroots officials step by step, successively served as the chief executive of many places, after being favored by the Holy Lord, he rose to the top, so he was pulled up by the Holy Lord, absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, a firm reformer, today it can be said that the power is for a while, and the power is tilted to the Eastern Capital, but his family is not high, his qualifications and prestige are not enough, and he also lacks network resources in the Eastern Capital, plus the authority of the Holy Lord and the reformers has decreased sharply, and he is increasingly passive in politics. Fan Zigai, who had an unstable foundation, was in a difficult situation and was greatly constrained, and he could not issue government decrees from Shangshutai, nor could he command the central government office, and the military ignored him. It can be foreseen from this that pinning the hope of resolving the crisis of the Tongji Canal on him is purely a fool's dream.
