Chapter 472: There Is Only One Way
June 13, early morning, Liyang City.
Li Zixiong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received Chen Rui's news. Yuan Wuben paid a heavy price for the arrogance of his wealthy family and the self-esteem of the nobles, and finally "played to death" himself on the battlefield of Liyang, fortunately, he had not lost his mind, and he still knew that he knew the current affairs, and he compromised at the critical moment, and the alliance took into account Li Fengyun's safety, and it was enough to stop, otherwise Yuan Wuben would have disappeared.
Now the gate of Liyangcang has finally opened, the alliance army has begun to plunder, and the army of Zhang Jincheng, the commander of Qinghe, has also joined it, and after dawn, hundreds of thousands of relatives, craftsmen, people's husbands, and old and weak women and children of the alliance who are stranded on the battlefield of Baima can finally cross the river to the north and join this "feast" of looting.
Han Yao was still indignant while he was excited, and his resentment towards Yuan Wuben continued unabated, "If he keeps his promise and opens Cangcheng for us, we can loot Liyang Cang at least eight days in advance." How much did we lose in eight days? ”
Li Zixiong glanced at him, his eyes were mocking, and he didn't speak.
According to the tripartite agreement, Yuan Wuben provided grain and grass to the alliance, but this was a limited amount, only to ensure the needs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the alliance, not to open the supply, let alone let the alliance plunder frantically, but according to the current plundering degree of the alliance, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians rushed up, and their looting gains in one day far exceeded the normal supply in the past eight days, so Han Yao should not resent Yuan Wuben, but should thank him, if it is not for Yuan Wuben's dishonesty, the alliance is not good to be treacherous, and attack Cangcheng under the banner of Qinghe thief Zhang Jincheng, Justifiably plundered.
And what's more, the looting is over? Where to put the stolen food, and how to ensure its safety? After the Weifu Army came, where did the alliance withdraw? How can hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians ensure safety? Therefore, the raid on Liyangcang is not a simple raid, but a comprehensive plan related to the alliance's northward exhibition, every step is calculated, interlocking, and no step can be wrong.
The joint Zhang Jin said that the attack on Liyangcang with the Qinghe Righteous Army was not a temporary idea, but the established deployment of the alliance. After the storm is over, the Holy Lord and the center will definitely investigate the robbery of Liyangcang, if the Weifu army follows the alliance and pursues it relentlessly, encircled and suppressed on all sides, the alliance will be in trouble, so the alliance must lead the water to the east, on the one hand, under the banner of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong on the battlefield of Liyang, carefully hidden, on the other hand, it will unite with the Qinghe Righteous Army to attack Liyangcang, and blame Zhang Jincheng.
Zhang Jin said that he needed to survive and grow, and Liyangcang's temptation to him was too great, and even if the alliance's "invitation" was ill-intentioned, Zhang Jin said that he couldn't take care of it, so he seized this opportunity first, and then said, if he missed this village, there would be no such shop, and if he didn't gamble, he had to gamble. As for the pursuit and suppression of the Weifu army afterwards, it was really common for him, could it be that if he didn't fight Liyangcang, the Weifu army wouldn't kill him? Since the Weifu army wants to encircle and suppress him anyway, of course he wants to seize this opportunity to strengthen himself, so Zhang Jin said that not only came, but also coerced hundreds of thousands of civilians all the way, and came in a mighty way, with the intention of not to loot Liyang Cang and not give up.
The alliance succeeded in marrying the blame, giving itself time to go north and turn to war, but in the process, where was the looted grain placed? Where are hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children hiding? Zhang Jin said that the Qinghe Rebels, as well as the civilians they had brought in, could go home with a full load after robbing, but the alliance could not do it, without this condition, they must first solve the problem of food hoarding, and this problem is just a trivial matter for the Hebei heroes.
Hao Xiaode and Liu Heimin immediately contacted the rebel brothers in Taihang Mountain, who were actually bandits in the past, and now they have become prosperous by taking advantage of the tide of the uprising.
The northwest of Ji County is the Taihang Mountains, there are many bandits, among which the strongest handsome is Wang Deren, who is stationed in Lin Shu Mountain, which is about two hundred miles away from Liyang. In the past two years, after some integration and merger, Wang Deren has also pulled up thousands of people, but Yan Zòng lacks grain and grass weapons, so the "invitation" of the alliance is a happy and timely rain for him. Wang Deren agreed to all the requirements of the alliance without saying a word, and the stolen grain could be hoarded in Lin Xi Mountain, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians could also temporarily hide in Lin Shu Mountain, and then Wang Deren poured out of the nest and killed Liyang impatiently. How could you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as looting Liyangcang?
Also in the Taihang Mountains, more than 200 miles north of Lin Shu Mountain, there is also a team of rebels, whose predecessor is the bandit team that gathered in Handan, Hebei, the southeast of Jin, Shangdang and the Fukou area between the two places. Fukou is one of the eight Taihang Mountains, is the only passage connecting Handan and Shangdang, this group of thieves is in danger of looting, the merchants of the two places are miserable, the two governments are also headaches, helpless, can only continue to reward wanted, so the leader of this team is famous, Taihang thief Yang Gongqing is notorious.
Liu Heimin used to sell smuggled salt, he was quite famous in Hebei, and he had a wide range of friends, although he had no fateful friendship with Yang Gongqing, but he had several fates, so Liu Heimin sent someone to contact Yang Gongqing on behalf of the alliance and asked him to help the alliance at the appropriate time. Liu Heimin's so-called "help" was actually to ask Yang Gongqing to go down the mountain to plunder the lines of Handan, Fuyang and Anyang, disrupt the traffic and roads in Wei County and Wu'an County, and attract the attention of the local government, so as to give the alliance the opportunity to quietly transfer food and people from Lin Weishan to the Handan area. As long as the alliance is transferred to Handan and enters the sphere of influence of the Li clan of Zhao County, all aspects will be taken care of "appropriately", and there is absolute certainty that it will be transferred to northern Hebei.
All of them are in the alliance's calculations, but there are also things that the alliance did not expect, such as Li Shanheng was an accident, and this accident surprised even Li Zixiong.
The first person who knew that the King of Qi was going to attack Liyang was Li Zixiong, and the source was Li Shanheng. As soon as Li Shanheng's secret book arrived, Li Zixiong immediately guessed that something was wrong with King Qi. The King of Qi must be determined to enter Beijing to seize the imperial unity, but the Li family of Longxi has a clear understanding of this mutiny, keep a clear mind, and at the critical moment the Li family of Longxi decisively "shot", and the wealthy Li family with the prince Li Hun will never allow the family's thousand-year-old foundation to be buried in the hands of a talented and stupid King of Qi. However, the supporters of the King of Qi are not only the Li clan of Longxi, Li Shanheng's "counterattack" may not be able to prevent the King of Qi from entering Beijing, so Li Zixiong is anxious, for him the King of Qi is too important, not only related to his own future, but also related to the future of the entire Middle Earth.
So now Li Zixiong doesn't care about Li Yangcang's affairs at all, and all his energy is focused on King Qi. Just when he was exhausted, Baima sent an important message overnight, and Li Anqi suddenly visited and proposed a new strategy on behalf of King Qi, and the situation in Liyang suddenly became complicated.
"Li Shanheng......" After reading the letter, the more Li Zixiong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but slap it on the desk and scolded sharply, "The vertical son has no plan and is stupid."
Han Yao was standing aside and looking at the letter, when he suddenly saw Li Zixiong furious and startled.
Li Zixiong still couldn't understand his hatred, and shouted angrily, "The Li family in Longxi is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't measure his strength, and one day he will be full of disasters." ”
Han Yao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Aren't you also the Li family in Longxi, although Bohai House is not prosperous, but you are a big man, which is very good, why do you have to curse yourself.
Li Zixiong vented his feelings, turned calm slightly, and sat there silent.
After reading the letter, Han Yao suddenly realized that he had no way of knowing whether the Li family's Chengjifang in Longxi was arrogant and self-sufficient, but this Li Shanheng was indeed too arrogant and didn't take King Qi seriously at all. After receiving the news of Li Shanheng before, I thought that the capture of Liyang was a decision agreed by the King of Qi, but now I know that it is Li Shanheng's personal behavior, or the family attitude of the Li family in Longxi.
"Ming Gong, is Shun Zhenggong (Dong Chun) also involved?" Han Yao asked cautiously.
At such a critical moment, there was infighting within King Qi, and there was a tendency to split, which was bad news for Li Zixiong and the alliance. The core of the strategy of going north is the king of Qi, if the king of Qi is lost, Li Zixiong will be finished, as for the alliance, although it can still go north, but without the protection and support of the king of Qi, the road to the exhibition will be difficult.
"In Weifu, the Northwest family holds up half the sky." Li Zixiong sighed, "And in the Northwest family, the Li family in Longxi has held up most of the sky. ”
Han Yao understood. Dong Chun is from Longxi Chengji, and Longxi Dong is the "little brother" of Longxi Li's Chengji Fang, which is a life-and-death friendship that has been passed down from generation to generation, even if sometimes some interests will disturb this friendship, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, the two are absolutely in lockstep. As far as this matter is concerned, Li Shanheng does not need to inform Dong Chun in advance, if he does, Dong Chun will tacitly cooperate, even if Dong Chun has different ideas, he will also resolutely prevent King Qi from entering Beijing. It's just that in this way, King Qi will not trust his "left arm", and will rely more on his "right arm" Wei Fusi.
"Is Ming Gong worried about Wei Fusi?" Han Yao said tentatively.
"I've always been worried about King Wei's control." Li Zixiong shook his head and sneered, "It is certain that behind Li Shanheng's loss of control, there must be Wei Fusi's black hand." ”
"In that case, then cut off this black hand." Han Yao said, "King Qi will definitely meet with Shun Zhenggong (Dong Chun), and Wei Fusi is alone, and one knife is enough." ”
Li Zixiong's eyes showed disdain, if killing people can solve the problem, the world will be so complicated? Killing Wei Fusi broke King Qi's trust in the Li clan in Longxi, what kind of cooperation can we talk about without trust?
"King Qi is not an idiot, if the time is not right, he will not enter Beijing." Li Zixiong said, "But he won't come to Liyang either, the Li clan in Longxi has already made a stand, once it falls into the hands of Li Shanheng, there will be no possibility of entering Beijing, so the king of Qi will soon rush to Baima." When the king of Qi arrives in Baima, he can not only take care of Liyang, but also pay attention to the eastern capital, killing two birds with one stone, but you can't stick to Baima, and you can't hold on, you can only cross the river and retreat north. ”
"Evacuate the White Horse, and our retreat will be cut off." Han Yao frowned and said.
"King Qi is going to cut off your retreat." Li Zixiong said, "Only by cutting off your retreat can he have a way out." The same is true of Li Shanheng's strategy, although the goal is Liyang, but the result is to cut off your retreat. ”
Han Yao shook his head and said in a resolute tone, "It is absolutely impossible for the alliance to hand over its fate to King Qi. ”
"Then you only have one way." Li Zixiong said, "Robbed Liyang Cang and went north decisively." ”
Han Yao's face was struggling. King Qi's move was too ruthless, destroying the established strategy of the alliance, forcing the alliance to go north in advance, and the direct consequence of the alliance's early northward movement was to throw Li Fengyun and the main force of the alliance on the battlefield of the eastern capital.
What about Li Fengyun? The possibility of breaking through the siege is too small, rather than annihilating the whole army on the way to break through, it is better to fight a piece of the world on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital. In other words, the purpose of the King of Qi was to force Li Fengyun to die and come back to life, and to force him to do his best to join forces with Yang Xuangan to capture the Eastern Capital. After taking the eastern capital, he also had the "capital" to bargain with Xijing, and once the two capitals joined forces, King Qi was the first choice for the new emperor.
On the contrary, if Li Fengyun is defeated and Yang Xuangan's mutiny fails, the King of Qi will immediately pursue and kill the alliance, and the alliance will collapse because of the loss of Li Fengyun, and it is not the opponent of the King of Qi at all, and the whole army will be destroyed, so the credit of the King of Qi will be great, although it cannot fundamentally improve his political situation, but at least in the short term, there is no worry about his life.
The King of Qi treacherously betrayed his own interests and showed a hideous face, wanting to squeeze Li Fengyun and the alliance to eat, and Li Fengyun is now far away from the Eastern Capital battlefield, and the alliance is powerless in the face of the swarming Weifu army, if it were not for the internal contradictions of the King of Qi, coupled with Li Zixiong's willingness to help in order to survive, the alliance was really helpless and could only be slaughtered.
"What about the Eastern Capital?" Han Yao asked, "Without Li Fengyun, the alliance will immediately fall apart and no longer exist." ”
Li Zixiong smiled, "You're worried about him?" I can tell you for sure that he won't die, and the League won't lose him. ”
