On June 13, late at night, Xijing received a request for "sending troops to support" from Fan Zigai, who had stayed behind in the eastern capital.

This request was not made by Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but by Fan Zigai, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, which is enough to show that the internal contradictions in the eastern capital are very intense, and it also shows that Yang Tong, the king of Yue, has a clear understanding of the development trend of the eastern capital, he does not want to see this military coup evolve into a great war for the emperor, and he does not want to see the eastern capital become a ruin, but Fan Zigai's idea is obviously different, he wants to use this storm to give the conservative forces a fatal blow, not only to destroy Yang Xuangan, but also to hit the local forces of Guanlong, for which he does not hesitate to pay corpses all over the field. The huge cost of rivers of blood and even the ruins of the east.

Fan Zigai's ideas represent the position of the reformists. The Second Crusade is no longer sustainable, and the failure of the Eastern Crusade for two consecutive years has pushed the Holy Lord and the reformers to the edge of the "political precipice", life and death hang by a thread, the reformers are crazy about it, they have no way out, they have no choice, only by defeating the conservatives at any cost, can they save themselves, can they save reform, and can they continue to hold the supreme authority to maintain their own interests.

Of course, it is still unknown how much the reformers will pay in this storm, and the reformers have the confidence and strength to control their own losses to a minimum, and the reformists are far from the only ones who have the confidence and strength to use this storm to achieve their own goals.

Fan Zigai's request for Xijing to "send troops to support" strengthened Wei Wensheng's determination, and the reform forces in Xijing were about to break the kettle in order to achieve their goals.

This news also strengthened the determination of the locals in Guanlong. The reformers are going to ruin the boat at any cost, do they still have a choice on their side? There is no choice, only to go head-on, only to fight bloodily.

The neutral faction looks on coldly, no matter how they unfold, they are all wise and self-protective, and the "fisherman" who picks chestnuts in the fire is certainly not the "turtle" who is alone

The clan and the Shandong people had to sit down and discuss it carefully.

In this storm, the clan is very passive, for the sake of Guozuo they must support the Holy Lord, they must help the reformers, cooperate with the reformers, and also for the sake of Guozuo, they must protect the conservatives to the greatest extent, after Yang Xuangan and his family were wiped out, the Heluo forces were dying, and they relied on the local forces of Guanlong to resist the reformers alone. The clan did not deliberately want to maintain the situation of the confrontation between the reform and conservative factions, but the two aristocratic groups of Guanlong and Heluo were the foundation of Guozuo and the foundation on which the Great Sui Dynasty depended. Can the dynasty still flourish? The clan strength in Xijing is relatively weak, and it is difficult for Yang Ze to support it alone, so he must find allies, and the best allies at present are the Shandong people, that is, the Hebei people with the Cui family as the leader

Shandong people sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Guanlong people cannibalism is what they want to see, reformists and conservatives fight a defeat is also very beneficial to them, but when it comes to key issues, whether it is Guanlong people or reformers, in the face of Shandong people such a watching, tiger-eyeing "behemoth", who dares to take it lightly? Shandong people can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but if you want to take advantage of the fire to rob and make a profit, the difficulty is very great, and you will be involved in it if you are not careful, and you can't fight the fox but provoke a commotion, which is too cost-effective.

Mingya, the squire of the Criminal Department, Lu Chu, the right Shilang of Shangshu, and Cui Minling, the secretary, are all from Hebei, and they are consistent with the Hebei people in the Eastern Capital, Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, Yang Hao, the King of Qin, and Cui Zhen on the Eastern Capital, and they are also allied with Yang Ze, who has a priest, on the Xijing side.

Guo Wenyi, a native of Taiyuan, Shandong, is from a family in Taiyuan, Shandong, and in terms of the overall interests of the Shandong people, he supports the Hebei people, but in terms of regional interests, he does not want to get too involved in this storm.

Jingzhao Neishi Li Changya is from the Liaodong House of the Li family in Zhao County. Li Bi in this room rose in Guanlong and got close to the Guanlong people, but they could not give up their relationship with the Li family of Zhaojun, so they were always separated from the two major aristocratic groups, but this time they had to stand on the side of the local nobles of Guanlong, because their Pushan Gong Li Mi was Yang Xuangan's comrade and participated in this mutiny, if the family wanted to draw a clear line with Li Mi, they must go to the eastern capital to kill Li Mi and destroy their relatives, and they must personally exterminate Yang Xuangan to show their loyalty to the Holy Lord.

In the early morning of 14 June, the dispute in Shangshu Province, the imperial city of Xijing, was still fierce, and the parties could not reach an agreement on many details of sending troops to the eastern capital, reinforcing Heyou, and staying in Xijing.

Wen Sheng, the guard left behind in Xijing, refused to give in, insisting that the number of men and horses supporting the eastern capital must reach 20,000, and Li Renzheng made a compromise and was willing to reduce the army to 10,000 to reinforce Heyou, but he did not agree to surrender any more. In fact, it is difficult for 5,000 men and horses to reinforce Heyou, and it is even more difficult to make a difference under the central government's decision to "make some trade-offs", but the military still has confidence in the situation on Heyou, and tries to fight a bloody way up in the face of difficulties in the predicament, even if it cannot keep Xihe, it must try to keep Heyou safe, and the premise is that it is necessary to ensure that the reinforcements have strong enough strength.

In terms of the power to command the army, Wei Wensheng also did not give an inch, he insisted on personally leading the army to support the Eastern Capital, insisted that the acting king Yang Yu stay in Xijing, and resolutely controlled this storm within the scope of the military coup, and did not allow it to evolve into a great war for the emperor, and did not give the local nobles of Guanlong with ill intentions any chance to destroy the Eastern Capital to destroy the reform, while the local magnates in Guanzhong who were the servants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhao Changwen, the young eunuch Wei Yuancheng in the palace, and Su Kui, the young eunuch of the palace, and Su Kui, the young eunuch of Honglu, insisted on being led by the acting king Yang Yu to lead the battle, and the reason was very good. Acting Wang Yang Yu wants to use this opportunity to establish meritorious deeds and win more opportunities for him to go further on the road to the championship. What is the purpose of your Wei Wensheng deliberately obstructing the meritorious service of the king? What's the intention? If you openly intervene in the battle for imperial domination with such a tough stance, you will definitely offend the entire Guanlong local aristocratic group, can you consider its strict consequences?

In addition, the clan and the Shandong people were also unwilling to lead the army to fight on behalf of Wang Yang Yun, but at the same time they were unwilling to stand on the side of the reformists and tear their faces with the local magnates in Guanzhong, so they could only "make peace" from it, and the result was not only not helpful to solve the problem, but made the situation more chaotic.

On June 14th, early in the morning, the eastern capital came to the urgent book again, Fan Zigai reported urgently, the Yanshi fell, the Yanshi Duwei came to Yuan to surrender to the enemy, Wu Benlang annihilated Zhou Zhong's whole army and surrendered to the enemy, Henan made Da Xi goodwill 5,000 troops to defect, Yang Xuan felt invincible like a broken bamboo, and the troops had come to Bai Sima Ban to confront Pei Hongce, and there were only a dozen miles away from the Shangchun Gate of the Eastern Capital Beiguo, at the same time, the thief Han Xiangguo broke through the Xiyuan defense line, killed into the Jicui Pond, and attacked frantically along the north and south embankments of the Jicui Pond, and was close to the imperial city. The eastern capital is already very critical, Fan Zigai asked Xijing, fire reinforcements, must not delay time, once there is a delay in support, the consequences are unimaginable.

Xijing was shocked.

Yang Xuangan's attack was too fast, and no one could stop him. According to the analysis and deduction of this shape, the eastern capital could not hold on, and the fall was a foregone conclusion. Yang Xuangan's advantage in the eastern capital is too obvious, the Heluo people flocked to respond, the Gyeonggi responders gathered, and the garrison of the eastern capital defected one after another, the city should be everywhere, and the gate of the eastern capital is like a hole open. The eastern capital fell, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, could only lead the remnants of the army to retreat to Hanoi, and could not give the Xijing army a strong cooperation, and Yang Xuangan was able to sweep Jinggi after the capture of the eastern capital with lightning speed, once his troops were in Tongguan, Xijing was very passive, and took a step back and said, even if Yang Xuangan failed to capture Tongguan in time, he could still defend according to the danger of Kunshan and the Hangu Valley, and he could also make the Xijing army stop outside the Hangu Pass, and could only look at the eastern capital and sigh. There is even more terrible, that is, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, once Yang Lan, the king of Qi, sees that the eastern capital has fallen, and he has the opportunity to seize the imperial unity, he will inevitably join forces with Yang Xuangan in order to fight to the death, and then the shape will be out of control, as long as Yang Lan, the king of Qi, enters the eastern capital and ascends the throne as the emperor, then the second eastern crusade will inevitably fall short, the civil war will inevitably explode, and the great cause of reunification will face the danger of collapse.

However, the worse the shape of the eastern capital, the more unbearable the future trend is, and the more passive it is for the holy lord and reformers, so the attitude of Wei Wensheng, Xiao Zao, Yuan Chong and others will be tougher, at this time, compromise and concession is equivalent to handing over the initiative and letting the opponent manipulate, the shape will be more unfavorable to the holy lord and the reformers, once the local magnates of Guanlong turn against each other and turn to support Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Yang Xuangan is in cahoots, colluded with each other, and colludes with the same people, then the major events will be carried out, and the division and war will inevitably sweep the entire Middle-earth.

Wei Wensheng gritted his teeth and came up with his "bottom line": Acting King Yang Yu must stay in Xijing, and the number of troops supporting the eastern capital must reach 25,000.

At the critical juncture, Yang Ze, the minister of the clan, and Guo Wenyi, Ming Ya, Lu Chu, Li Changya, and Cui Minling, the ministers of Shandong, had no choice but to support Wei Wensheng without hesitation.

Si Li's doctor Pei Caozhi decisively supported Wei Wensheng, there was no way, he had to express his position, he could be sure that Pei Hongce would be defeated in Baima Shanban, and it was very likely that he would be killed by Yang Xuangan, which was very unfavorable to Pei Hongce himself and the Pei family in Hedong. Pei Hongce's arrogant, narrow-minded and selfish character has caused his "isolation" situation in the Eastern Capital at the time of crisis, and the defeat on the battlefield will further exacerbate his "isolation" in politics, although the current alliance between the Pei clan in Hedong and the Holy Lord and the reformers is relatively strong, but the contradictions and conflicts are facts, once the conservative forces in the eastern capital take advantage of Pei Hongce's "gap" to launch a crazy counterattack against the Pei clan in Hedong, not only Pei Hongce is in danger, but the Pei clan in Hedong will also be hit. In this case, the situation will be strict. Therefore, the dispatch of troops to the Eastern Capital cannot be delayed, and the Pei clan in Hedong must support Wei Wensheng with a clear banner.

The shape shì is not good for the local magnates of Guanlong.

The neutral faction immediately saw the wind and steered the rudder, Si Nong Shaoqing Duguji, Taichang Cheng Yuan Shanda, Wei Wei Shaoqing Yuwen Rutong and others immediately gave Wei Wensheng cautious support, although the strength of support was not enough, but the attitude was obvious, they did not want to see the explosion of the civil war, see the collapse of the great cause of reunification.

The local magnates in Guanlong had no choice but to compromise.

Acting King Yang Yu and some central ministers stayed in Xijing, while Wei Wensheng and some central officials supported the eastern capital.

The number of troops supporting the eastern capital increased to 25,000, the army that reinforced Heyou was still 10,000, and the garrison remaining in Xijing was sharply reduced to 5,000.

The military commander was divided into three, Liu Wujian, the general of the Right Tun Guard, and Li Renzheng, the general of the Right Imperial Guard, led an army of 10,000 to reinforce Heyou, and the generals Wu Benlang and Wu Yalang from the northwest all went on the expedition. The right Wuwei generals, Huangfu Wuyi and Wu Benlang, ordered Hu Derun to lead an army of 5,000 to stay in Xijing. Pang Yu, the general of the prison gate Zhige, led part of the Xijing Janissary Army, and the generals surnamed Wu Benlang Dou Luxian, Hu Si Wanshou, Wu Yalang General Sun Wuao, and the Guanzhong Wu Benlang general Zhang Jun and Wu Yalang general Liang Yuanli, as well as the Shandong Wu Benlang general Cui Shi and Wu Yalang general Guo Zhen each led their headquarters to support Wei Wensheng to support the eastern capital.

At this point, Wei Wensheng and the Xijing reformers struggled to "win" in this round of the game, and still controlled the initiative, but whether they can reverse the current disadvantage of the Eastern Capital, they must rush into Hangu Pass before Yang Xuangan, otherwise it will be too late.
