Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Wei Fusi returned to the camp, a little apprehensive, a little doubtful, he was facing a vicious wolf, a fierce tiger, and they were all doing everything possible to calculate the king of Qi, which made him have a sense of fear of "seeking skin with the tiger", especially after seeing the two smiling faces, he suddenly regretted it, he should not agree to Li Fengyun's request, he should not let the two tiger wolves be alone in private, but now it is too late to regret it, only to face the difficulties.
Li Zixiong revealed two big secrets with one mouth, first, the white thief's original name was Li Pingyuan, the son of Li Delin, the Duke of Anping, and the secret soldier cultivated and trusted by Gao Ying, the Duke of Bohai, and Pei Shiju, the Duke of Wenxi; Second, it is not clear who the mastermind of the Eastern Capital Mutiny was, but one thing is certain, the purpose of the mastermind of the mutiny was to change the imperial system by violent means, and the chosen successor to the imperial system was the Qi King Yang Lan, who basically lost the heir qualification in the new round of imperial disputes, so this mutiny should hold high the banner of Qi King Yang Lan, use the appeal of Qi King Yang Lan to pull up a team, and then capture the Eastern Capital and fight against the Holy Lord.
The first secret revealed by Li Zixiong is equivalent to giving Yang Lan, the king of Qi, a "magic weapon" that stuck Li Fengyun's throat, if you are not obedient, you will put Li Delin, the Duke of Anping, to death, and the Li family of Zhaojun to death. But the second secret revealed by Li Zixiong directly sent Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to the guillotine, whether you want to rebel or not, as long as you are involved with the rebellion, you will die.
Wei Fusi was like a heavy blow, stunned, almost suffocating.
Sure enough, the two tiger wolves got together and immediately "changed the wind and clouds", directly sending King Qi to the guillotine. I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, now it's certain that Li Zixiong is one of the masterminds of the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and Li Fengyun knew it in the past, but the reason why he didn't say it was because he guessed that the mutineers wanted to use King Yang Lan of Qi, so he tried every means to get close to King Yang Lan of Qi, and then used an opportunity to join this mutiny, and this opportunity was personally sent by Wei Fusi.
Wei Fusi wanted to cry without tears, it's over, it's completely over, he was calculated, and he didn't even have a chance to turn over. But in an instant, Wei Fusi forced himself to calm down again, and he could still survive in a desperate situation, not to mention that he was not in a desperate situation now? Besides, there is a lot of risk and opportunity, and who dares to say that this is not an opportunity to win?
Soon, under the attention of Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi took the initiative to speak.
"You prophesied that this mutiny would end in failure." Wei Fusi looked at Li Fengyun and asked calmly.
Li Fengyun nodded.
"In that case, why did you take part in this mutiny?"
"If you don't participate in this mutiny, King Qi will be sent to the guillotine." Li Fengyun did not hesitate and threw the problem directly to Li Zixiong.
"Will this change the outcome of the mutiny?" Wei Fusi asked.
Li Fengyun shook his head, "XX's strength is limited, and you also know that XX will go north soon, and whether or not you participate in this mutiny can't change XX's decision to go north, so even if XX participates in the mutiny, it will not be able to contribute, and it will not change the result of the failure of the mutiny." ”
Wei Fusi understood and gradually spied on the truth of the "tiger wolf" conspiracy, but Li Zixiong's testimony was still needed.
Wei Fusi turned his eyes to look at Li Zixiong, "Since Li Pingyuan has already told you that the mutiny will end in failure, since you know that Li Pingyuan is a close confidant of Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju), then why do you continue to insist?" ”
"The power of a certain is very limited, even if a certain has the intention to change some things, but the heart is powerless, and can only follow the trend."
"But that's a point of no return."
Li Zixiong shook his head, "The key now is that a certain person has already walked on the road of no return." ”
Wei Fusi understood that this time the tiger and wolf had a secret discussion, not that the tiger subdued the wolf, but that the wolf persuaded the tiger and the two sides cooperated, but Li Zixiong's addition affected the agreement between Li Fengyun and the king of Qi, so the three parties must redraw the covenant, and the tripartite covenant needs a foundation of trust, and the three parties can only clamp each other, jam each other's throats, and build the covenant with each other's lives.
"King Qi has no choice." After thinking for a while, Wei Fusi said categorically, "But you must swear not to involve the King of Qi in the mutiny, and not to put the King of Qi to death." ”
Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong looked at each other, and a smile flashed in their eyes.
"Next, you must sue Sù, what will you do after the mutiny fails?" Wei Fusi asked, "You must sue Sù for your total plan. ”
"I have already said that only by going north, only by resisting the footsteps of the invasion of the northern captives in the Great War of the North and the South, can we gain a foothold in the north and can we be in the Daiyan Exhibition." Li Fengyun once again explained his future vision to Wei Fusi, but it was more detailed and thorough than what he had said before, and he also added specific details of using this mutiny to fight in Hebei.
"The Duke of Jianchang is determined to go north with Li Pingyuan to represent Yan?"
Wei Fusi was skeptical of Li Fengyun's words before, after all, he did not have a good understanding of the impending crisis of the Civil War, one is that the national strength of Middle-earth has been strong in recent years, and the other is that the desert and the northern captives had been divided and killed each other more than ten years ago, and there were continuous blows in Middle-earth outside, and they were in a slump, and although they depended on Middle-earth to recuperate, it was very unlikely that they would recover their vitality in more than ten years and invade Middle-earth again to start the Civil War.
But Li Zixiong is different, Li Zixiong is a famous general of the Wei Mansion, a veteran commander of the military, participated in all the conquests of the North Captives after the reunification of China and Earth, and has a very deep understanding of the desert and the Civil War, if Li Zixiong accepts Li Fengyun's prophecy of the Civil War and decides to go north with Li Fengyun to represent Yan, it is enough to show that Li Fengyun's future vision is credible and feasible. Of course, the risks are also very terrible, once Middle-earth loses the Civil War, and the North captives cross the Great Wall and capture the Daiyan area, then the basis for the implementation of this idea will not even be available.
However, Li Zixiong's reply made Li Fengyun and Wei Fusi extremely uncomfortable.
"If the chances of victory in the mutiny are slim, the old man has no choice, the name of the first life has been paid, although the world is big, there is no place for the old man to stand, and he can only be with the white thief, and he will steal his life."
Li Fengyun couldn't help but secretly slander himself, the old horseman, in the final analysis, still pinned his hopes on the mutiny, unless the mountains and rivers are desperate, otherwise this old horseman will never stop, but in this way, am I using him, or is he using me?
Wei Fusi also secretly scolded angrily, it seems that Li Zixiong has gone to the dark all the way, and he will not stop until the end of the road, but now the three parties are "bundled" together, and they all lose money, there are too many uncertain factors in the future, and the risk is even more difficult to estimate.
On the seventh day of the third month, Zhang Xutuo commanded the main army and captured Juhe City.
On the eighth day of the first month of March, Qin Qiong led his army to capture Pingling and rushed to Zhangqiu City.
On the eighth day of the first month of March, Wang Bo led his army to cross the Luoshui River and capture Linji. After a little repair, he led the army to rush south and killed Zhangqiu City.
On the ninth day of the third month, Wang Bo crossed the Jishui River and met Qin Qiong under the city of Zhangqiu, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely
On the same day, Meng Rang and Zuo brothers led their troops to defend Boling and fought fiercely with Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Yuanbei father and son, while Guo Fangzhu and Qin Junhong marched out of Lepan Mountain and attacked Zhang Xutuo's flank. Jia Yanfu and Tang Wanren stuck to the flank battle formation, and stubbornly withstood the attacks of Guo Fangzhen and Qin Junhong and tens of thousands of soldiers of the righteous army with 2,000 men and horses.
Boling is at the foot of Changbai Mountain, less than 100 miles away from Zhangqiu City. That day, Wang Bo's messenger approached Meng Rang and the Zuo brothers, asking them to hold on to Boling, firmly contain Zhang Xutuo's main force, and win enough time for the Hebei rebels to cross the water south.
At the same time, Zhang Xutuo also received a letter from Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong urgently reported that the scouts on the north bank of Jishui, as well as on both sides of Luoshui, there were a large number of Hebei rebels, the number of which was likely to exceed 100,000, once these rebels all crossed the Jishui River, the officers and troops were powerless to resist, and they had to retreat to Licheng, and this would inevitably lead to the failure of the plan of the official army and the naval division to fight the thieves in the north and south.
Zhang Xutuo did not expect that there were more than 100,000 Hebei anti-thief army coming south, which greatly surprised his expectations, although these anti-thieves can really go to the battlefield to fight is likely to be only 23 out of 10, but it is also converted to 20,000 or 30,000 people, plus Changbai Mountain anti-thieves and Beihai anti-thieves also have about 20,000 young and strong, Zhang Xutuo has to face more than 50,000 rebels before and after, which makes the situation of the official army very bad.
"Ming Gong, don't forget that there are tens of thousands of horses of white thieves in the direction of Zhongchuan Shui." Yang Qian saw Zhang Xutuo hesitating, and hurriedly reminded, "Don't expect too much from King Qi, under the current situation, in order to preserve his strength, King Qi must definitely stand by and watch the tiger fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman." It can be asserted that if the Ming Duke is surrounded by thieves in Zhangqiu and is in danger, the King of Qi will definitely use support as an excuse to enter Licheng first, and once Licheng changes hands, the shape will be extremely unfavorable to Ming Gong. ”
However, the whole line retreated to hold Licheng, although it could protect Licheng, but nearly 100,000 anti-thieves entered the hinterland of Qi County, burned, killed and plundered, even if they held Licheng? Qi Junxing shì was completely out of control, directly threatening the sailor's expedition across the sea, forcing the sailor to throw the main force into the battlefield of rebellion, so that even if the thief was successful, Zhang Xutuo could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty, and what was even more serious was that after this battle, could the sailor still ensure that he could cross the sea and expedition within the scheduled time?
After weighing it again and again, Zhang Xutuo resolutely decided to implement the original policy, fight the anti-thieves with the sailors, and fight to the death with the anti-thieves in Zhangqiu.
"Pass on an order, give up Pingling, Juhe, give up attacking Boling, all the main forces went north to Zhangqiu overnight, and stopped the Hebei thieves on the north bank of Jishui at any cost."
Whether the Hebei thieves can be blocked on the north bank of Jishui is the key to the strategy of the official army, but Zhang Xutuo also fell into the attack of the Hebei Righteous Army and the Qilu Righteous Army, which can be said to be a place of death, and whether he can survive in a desperate situation depends on whether the support of the sailor is fast enough.
Zhang Xutuo gambled, bet all his bets on Zhou Fashang, ignored the threat of Yang Lan and Li Fengyun, the kings of Qi, and decided to fight to the death.
