On the afternoon of June 28, Xingyang Jindi Pass.

Zhou Fashang led the sailors into the waterway of the Xingyang section of the Great River, and began to effectively block the confluence of the Yongji Canal and the Great River, the confluence of the Tongji Canal and the Great River, and the land crossing of the Hejin Estuary between Xingyang and Hanoi.

The alliance army led by Lu Xingxing and Yue Gao discovered the sailor division as soon as possible, as if facing a great enemy, on the one hand, they were guarding the pass, and on the other hand, they urgently told the friendly army of 100,000 fires, please Gu Jue and Han Shige take precautions, and at the same time report to Li Fengyun urgently.

A few hours later, the news of the arrival of the sailor spread like the wind to all the passes and Jinkou on the south bank of the Xingyang section of the river, from the easternmost Huting, to the Jindi Pass, the Zhuzhu Pass, the Niuzhu Pass, and the westernmost Tiger Prison Pass.

That night, Gu Jue led the army to leave Xingyang City, urgently reinforced Zhukou and Niuzhukou, and joined forces with the alliance troops on the front line of Jindiguan and Huting to block the water division, and resolutely did not allow the water division to enter the Xingyang battlefield to open up the Tongji Canal. At midnight of the same day, Han Shige of Tiger Prison Pass personally led his army to reinforce Huangmaban and Luokou (the confluence between Luoshui and the Great River) to strengthen the defense of the first line of Tiger Prison and Luokou, and did his best to prevent the water division from entering Luoshui, so as to cut off the connection between the Dongdu battlefield and the Xingyang battlefield with the waterproof division.

On June 28, on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, Yang Xuangan's uncle Yang Shen, the Marquis of Yi'an, commanded tens of thousands of troops to continue the siege of the imperial city, while Li Min and Niu Jinda commanded the 23rd Army of the alliance to cooperate closely on the first line of the Zodiac Canal. On the western line of Pishan, Wang Zhongbo sat in Jingu and commanded his army to continue to storm Dengjin and Mengjin, while Li Gongting, who held Dengjin, and Yang Hao, the king of Qin, who held Mengjin, suffered heavy losses because of repeated hard battles, coupled with no backup, the soldiers were exhausted and could not continue.

In the afternoon of this day, Wang Zhongbo received an order from Yang Xuangan, the Xijing army had entered the Mianchi battlefield yesterday, and the decisive battle began, for which Yang Xuangan asked Wang Zhongbo to take Dengjin and Mengjin in the shortest possible time, destroy the pontoon bridge on the river, and completely cut off the road of the Weifu army to reinforce the eastern capital from the direction of Heyang, so as to avoid their own dilemma of fighting on two fronts. At the same time, Wang Zhongbo was asked to strengthen the defense of all Jinkou on the front line of Bishan to ensure the safety of his army on the battlefield of the eastern capital during the decisive battle.

Wang Zhongbo's feelings were suddenly high, and he immediately threw all the reserve regiments under his account into the battlefield, and told all the generals to fight all night, take turns to fight, capture Dengjin and Mengjin at any cost, destroy the pontoon bridge of the big river, and be sure to clear all the remnants of the enemy on the north bank before dawn, and end the battle.

After dusk, seeing that the rebels were still on the offensive, Li Gongting and Yang Hao immediately realized that the battle situation had changed, and they unanimously urgently reported to the province and asked for reinforcements from the province, otherwise Jinkou could not be defended, and the pontoon bridge of the river could not be defended.

On the same day, the province received a joint emergency from the commanders of the five-way reinforcements of the King of Qi, Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the naval division, Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei, Dong Chun, who stayed behind in Pengcheng, and Chen Ling, the deputy left-behind commander of Zhuo County, knowing that they gathered under the city of Liyang on the morning of June 26 and came up with a plan to rescue the eastern capital, in which the king of Qi, Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling were responsible for attacking Liyang, Pengcheng stayed behind Dong Chun was responsible for supporting Xingyang, and the sailor was responsible for blocking the waterway of the great river and cutting off the connection between the eastern capital and Liyang and Xingyang, and the five-way reinforcements jointly completed the eastern capital. The division and encirclement of the three battlefields of Liyang and Xingyang.

According to this strategy, the five-way reinforcements could not enter the Dongdu battlefield to fight before recovering Liyang, defeating the Xingyang rebels, and opening the north-south Grand Canal, and in order to ensure that the five-way reinforcements could open the north-south Grand Canal in the shortest possible time, the province still needed to persuade the Xijing army to actively advance eastward, enter the Dongdu battlefield as quickly as possible, and complete the encirclement of the Dongdu battlefield, and then contain Yang Xuangan's main rebel army, and help and cooperate with the five-way reinforcements to kill all the traitors on the Liyang battlefield and the Xingyang battlefield.

Faced with this decision made by the commanders of the five reinforcements, the province was very angry and humiliated. Obviously, the commanders of the five-way reinforcements did not take the province in their eyes at all, and the decisions made by the provinces and the orders issued to them were directly ignored by them, and especially excessively, the commanders of the five-way reinforcements directly made counterinsurgency decisions on behalf of the central government, in a sense, the military has overridden the central government at this moment, and the military has directly seized the decision-making power of the central government with the help of its powerful force, and even ordered the central government to cooperate with the military in disguise. This is an open slap in the face for the province, if the province swallows its anger and accepts it, it will definitely be a blow to the authority of the central government, but under the current situation, what can the province do except swallow its anger and compromise and retreat? Could it be that he is openly against the commanders of the five-way reinforcements?

At this time, Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and Li Gongting, the duke of Gaodu, called the police to the province for help.

Under the anger of the province, a group of central officials unanimously decided to abandon Dengjin and Mengjin, and all the troops fighting on the south bank withdrew to Heyang, and destroyed the pontoon bridge over the river. In fact, they can only order a retreat, the sudden change in the battle situation in the eastern capital must be related to the eastward advance of the Xijing army, Yang Xuangan in order to avoid a two-front battle, must take Deng Jin and Meng Jin, and then wholeheartedly fight with the Xijing army, so if the province continues to hold the bridgehead on the south bank of the two big rivers, the final result must be empty, it is better to evacuate in time, so that some troops can be saved.

The province also urgently told Xijing to stay to guard Wensheng, Zhou Fashang came with reinforcements from the sailors, and is now killing the battlefield of the eastern capital day and night, and Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling's army is also rushing to Heyang day and night, it is estimated that the river will be able to cross the river in early July to enter the battlefield of the eastern capital, so the Xijing army can not be delayed any longer, if Zhou Fashang, Cui Hongsheng, and Chen Ling's three-way reinforcements rush to the battlefield of the eastern capital in front of the Xijing army, then the western embarrassment is not a "shameful" thing, but to bear the consequences.

June 28, Michi Battlefield.

In the morning, General Wu Benlang and Lu Xian, the Duke of Chu, led the Xuan Feng army to attack and advance towards Mianchi City. Yang Jishan led the army to block the attack. The soldiers of the two sides met on the bank of the Gushui River, and as soon as they came into contact, Yang Jishan was "mighty", and his body. The first soldier, with a team of knights galloping straight to the enemy's formation. Yang Jishan's soldiers were inspired by this, and their blood was suddenly full of blood, their morale was like a rainbow, and they rushed up like a tide. Dou Luxian was not well prepared, careless and underestimated the enemy, and was caught off guard by Yang Jishan when he came up, and the soldiers under his command did not expect that the opponent would rush up as soon as he saw him, and the battlefield was very narrow, and the battle formation was not fully developed by the opponent.

Yang Jishan accepted it when he saw it, took advantage of it and left, and Mingjin withdrew his army and retreated to the outside of Michi City.

Dou Luxian was "gray and gray-faced", but he didn't dare to venture in case there was another accident.

When Wei Wensheng heard the news, he ordered all the armies to advance to Michi at the same time, to support each other, and not to give the rebels any chance to attack.

At noon, the murderous army of Xijing approached the city of Mianchi, Wu Benlang will Dou Lu Xian, Hu Si Wanshou, Wu Yalang will Changsun Wuao each lead an army to attack in three ways, making an outflanking trend. Yang Jishan did not hesitate, retreated decisively, and went straight to Xiaoxin'an City, more than 30 miles away.

The Xijing army relieved the siege of Michi, and the right guard general who was trapped in the city, Zheng Yuanshou, the Duke of Xinguo, immediately went out of the city to visit Xijing and stayed behind to guard Wensheng.

Zheng Yuanshou was very haggard, sluggish, and seemed to be older. In the eyes of many people, Zheng Yuanshou's career has come to an end, the garrison is not good in the east, and the army is defeated in Hangu, and after the storm is over, he will inevitably be held accountable, and the best outcome is to disarm and return to the field, and if he does not do well, he will even be imprisoned. However, Wei Wensheng, Ming Ya, Du Yan, Wei Jin and other central ministers knew that Zheng Yuanshou was right this time, and this wealthy magnate relied on his outstanding wisdom to successfully help the Zheng family in Xingyang survive a catastrophe at a critical moment.

Zheng Yuanshou, as one of the two commanders of the Weifu who stayed in the eastern capital, had two most important tasks, one was a military task, he wanted to garrison the security of the eastern capital and Gyeonggi, and his garrison area was west of Hangu Pass, Yang Xuangan had so far killed under the city of Michi, and a large area west of Hangu Pass had not fallen to the thieves, so his garrison task was completed; There is also a political task, he must ensure the independence of the Weifu, must defend the military power of the Weifu, can not let the military power fall, can not let other people or forces control the Weifu, this is a matter of principle, if he makes a mistake on this issue, it is a political mistake, unforgivable, so Zheng Yuanshou when Yang Gongren "snatched" the military power of the Weifu, decisively "escaped" from the Eastern Capital, although his approach is not commendable, and he did not dare to fight in the face of "power", but he did not make a mistake in politics, And he used his actual control of the army to successfully defend the military power, which is "meritorious" from the position of the Holy Lord, and Zheng Yuanshou not only has no fault but has merit.

No matter what Zheng Yuanshou's real purpose of "escaping" from the Eastern Capital was, he completed his two "tasks", and this political fruit was very "fruitful", enough to impress the Holy Lord, enough to ⊥ him to make meritorious contributions, as for the appearance, it doesn't matter at all, just like last year's naval division defeated Pyongyang, but the commanders of the naval division such as Laihu'er not only had no fault but had merit. The result of a political thing can never be deduced by what you see with your eyes, and all of that is wrong is wrong.

Zheng Yuanshou was able to turn danger into relief in such a sinister environment, and also made contributions, his outstanding wisdom is not to say that most powerful people are unattainable, even Wei Wensheng, Ming Ya and other central ministers are full of admiration for it, so when they meet and greet, Wei Wensheng and others are not only polite, but even vaguely reveal a little compliment in their words. No way, here Zheng Yuanshou has the highest aristocratic rank, the most respected status, and the head of a super wealthy family with a thousand-year-old inheritance, how many are there in Middle Earth? Guanzhong Wei's is also very prominent and wealthy, but compared with Xingyang Zheng's, that is the difference between a royal nobleman and a local tyrant.

Zheng Yuanshou was very disdainful of the "local tyrants" in Xijing, and even ashamed and angry. Yang Xuangan killed the eastern capital on June 14, and the Xijing reinforcements only arrived in Mianchi today, and there are still two days away from the eastern capital.

"Has the Eastern Capital Fallen?" Zheng Yuanshou was too lazy to "be hypocritical" and went straight to the point.
