On this morning, King Qi also received news from the province.

The attitude of the province was obviously tough, which was directly related to the arrival of Qu Tutong, the general of the Right Guard, with the edict of the Holy Lord. The province clearly asked the king of Qi to quickly support the Xingyang battlefield, although Pengcheng stayed behind Dong Chun has captured Jindi Pass, but the losses are heavy, and there is no strength to fight again, and the sailor Zhou Fashang wants to block the waterway of the big river and attack Luokoucang and Tiger Prison, but also has a weak heart, as for Xingyang Taishou Xun Wang Yang Qing and Wu Benlang general Liu Changgong, because of the large losses in the early stage and the limited troops, even if they support with all their might, it is difficult to regain the control of the Tongji Canal from the rebels, so can we restore the smooth flow of the Grand Canal, Whether or not the rebels on the Xingyang battlefield could be quickly wiped out completely depended on the support of the King of Qi.

At present, the eastern capital is still surrounded by rebels, the early stage of the fall of Nanguo, the recent fall of Kim Yong Cheng and Hui Luocang have also fallen, the north Guo is also in danger, fortunately, the soldiers who stick to the imperial city still have Hanjiacang to support, can hold on for a period of time.

After Qu Tutong, the right wait-in general, arrived in Heyang with Cui Hongshou, the ambassador of Hebei, and Chen Ling, the deputy guard of Zhuojun, the strength of the Weifu army increased greatly, and the total strength of the army reached more than 20,000 people. The province then ordered to cross the river to counterattack, Chen Ling led the army to attack Deng Jin, Wu Benlang general Li Gongting, Wu Yalang general Gao Bi and Heyang Commander Qin Wang Yang Hao led the army to attack Mengjin, although this counterattack can not fundamentally reverse the situation of the Eastern Capital, but at least it can effectively contain the rebels on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, so that they have to divide their troops to block, and fall into the dilemma of multi-front combat, which can not only effectively relieve the pressure of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and the garrison of the Eastern Capital, but also help Wei Wensheng and the soldiers of Xijing to block Yang Xuangan on the battlefield of the Western Front.

Although Yang Xuangan won the victory of the battle of Michi, but his own losses were larger, when attacking Shaanxi, he was desperately blocked by Wei Wensheng and Xijing soldiers, and the westward advance was blocked, but the Xijing soldiers were also scarred, after a few days of fierce battles, it was difficult to continue, and they had to abandon Shaanxi, retreat to Hongnong Palace and Changping line. Fortunately, Hongnong Taishou Cai Wang Yang Zhiji provided timely support, coupled with the support of Yingyangwei from Hedong, Jiangxian County, and Linfen, he barely stabilized his position.

The province is now worried that the rebels on the battlefield of the eastern capital will suddenly withdraw and all enter the western front to fight, so Wei Wensheng will face the rebels who are several times his own, and he will inevitably not be able to hold the Hongnong Palace and Chang Ping, so he can only retreat to Tongguan, and the Weifu reinforcements on the battlefield on the eastern front are unable to chase and kill because they are dragged by the Tongji Canal, which gives Yang Xuangan more time to attack Tongguan.

For this reason, the province has a tough attitude, and has lost the patience to "coax" the king of Qi, and even directly threatens the king of Qi, if you enter the pass because of your inaction on the Xingyang battlefield, you will have to bear the main responsibility.

King Qi was furious, he deceived people too much, Yang Xuangan killed in the pass, what did he have to do with Lonely? Your tens of thousands of troops couldn't stop Yang Xuangan on the battlefield on the Western Front, and watched Yang Xuangan kill in the pass, but in the end you put the blame on Lone, and used Lone as a scapegoat, how can this be reasonable! Is it alone in your eyes, a lamb to the slaughter? The dying man? Is it a death row prisoner who will never turn over?

Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng, and Li Baiyao all saw the "crisis" coming from the provincial document.

Yuwen Shuren is an old man, he is an old fox, it is difficult to get any useful information from him, and it is even more difficult to judge the true attitude of the Holy Lord towards the King of Qi, and Qu Tutong is different, his life is smooth sailing, and his qualifications are relatively light, as a close servant of the Holy Lord, it is inevitable that he will be pampered and arrogant, arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, so after he joined the province, the province immediately changed his attitude under his influence, which was enough to judge that the Holy Lord had no patience for King Qi, and was about to kill the killer. King Qi's "eye-catching" expression in this storm gave the Holy Lord the best chance to completely destroy his political life, if the Holy Lord and the Central Center really had the idea of the Third Eastern Crusade, in order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the Holy Lord would not miss this golden opportunity no matter what, and never suffer in the future.

"King, Yuwen Shu is not credible." Wei Fusi "added fuel to the fire". Before Yu Wenshu left Liyang, he didn't even give a promise to King Qi, if he speculated on Yu Wenshu's intentions with the greatest malice, it would be terrible.

"If Yuwen's statement is credible, there will be no bloody and cruel imperial war." Li Baiyao's words are not shocking, and he is endless.

It is better to believe in Yuwenshu than to believe in a pig. It was Yuwenshu's tireless "running" that helped the Holy Lord win the support of Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, and then the Great War of Imperial Unification broke out, from the crown prince Yang Yong, several princes, a large number of meritorious ministers, down to hundreds of thousands of nobles, guards and civilians, all of them were wiped out.

If the King of Qi cannot learn from history, and if the supporters of the King of Qi such as Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng cannot learn the bloody lessons from the past history, the outcome may be worse than the death of meritorious veterans such as the crown prince Yang Yong and Gao Gong. In fact, now Li Zixiong and Wei Fusi have been miserable) King Qi has been wiped out, but there is still a breath left. The bloody facts are right in front of him, and in this case, King Qi continues to have a trace of illusion about the Holy Lord, which is really too naïve, naïve to the point of collapse.

On the 10th day of the first month of July, in the afternoon, there was a "eyeline" deployed by the Xu clan along the big river, imitating the post station to pass on, setting up a horse for 30 miles, and sending a message like lightning, and found hundreds of sailor warships on the Puyang section of the river more than 200 miles away, which were coming in a mighty way.

The top level of the alliance suddenly became nervous, and while they were glad that they had withdrawn quickly and left early, they were worried that they would not be able to cross the river in time and encounter the sailor.

"Third brother, when will we all withdraw?" Li Fengyun was anxious and first consulted Xu Shiyun's opinion.

"Brother, the army can all cross the river tonight, but there is too much grain and grass, and if you want to transport it all, it will be at least until tomorrow afternoon." Xu Shiyun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The sailor is approaching Liyang, although it will slow down a little, but it will definitely send scouts to find out the situation in Liyang, if nothing else, the scouts of the sailor will arrive here tomorrow morning, once they find us, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Li Fengyun's brows furrowed even deeper. Although the alliance wears a yellow uniform and plays the banner of the Eastern Capital Garrison, it may be able to conceal the sailor for a while, but the truth will soon be revealed, and once the truth is revealed, the early efforts will be in vain, not only will it affect the King of Qi, but also drag down the Lihu Xu family and the Wagang brothers, which is really a failure.

"Ming Gong, immediately send scouts to intercept them on land and water, and hide it for a while." Li Min was flustered and immediately offered a plan.

Li Fengyun shook his hand and signaled Li Min to be restless. He turned his eyes to Xu Shiyun and continued to ask, "Will the sailor be in a hurry overnight?" ”

"The naval warships are huge, the draft is very deep, and when they run on inland rivers, they are countercurrent, and it is difficult to maintain a certain speed, which requires both manpower and wind cooperation." Xu Shiyun raised his hand and waved it twice in the air, "The wind direction is not conducive to driving against the current in the past two days, and it is completely dependent on the sailors on the boat to row, and the sailor's body consumption must be very large, plus the sailor needs to inquire about the situation in Liyang, so it is estimated that the sailor should stop and rest tonight, so that he can rush to Liyang tomorrow." ”

Mariner? Li Fengyun had a flash of inspiration and immediately asked, "If you are given enough sailors, can you transport all the grain and grass before dawn?" ”

Xu Shiyun immediately thought that some of Li Fengyun's soldiers were thieves and sailors who walked on the rivers and canals back then. It is now impossible to temporarily increase the number of boats, and the only way to speed up the crossing is to increase the number of sailors. The sailors had a limited body, and once they were out of power, they had to rest, and the ships were immediately idle, and if the number of sailors was increased, and the ships were transported back and forth "tirelessly", the speed of crossing the river would inevitably be greatly accelerated.

"How many sailors can Brother bring in?"

"A thousand sailors, is it enough?"

Xu Shiyun was overjoyed, "If Brother can transfer a thousand sailors, before tomorrow dawn, he will be able to transport all the grain, grass and baggage to the other side, and he can also win enough time for a certain ship to go west for more than 100 miles, and go north from Lingchangjin to Yongji to avoid the sailors." ”

Li Fengyun was greatly moved when he heard this, he only cared about himself, but he forgot that Xu Shiyun also needed time to dodge, once he was discovered by the sailors, the alliance army could certainly escape, but even if Xu Shiyun and the Wagang brothers abandoned the ship and fled, they would not be able to escape the suffering in the end.

"Order Chief Lu and Chief Guo to immediately transfer a thousand sailors from the army."

"Tell General Xu again that he will immediately send scouts to the east of the big river for a hundred miles, and make every effort to intercept the scouts of the water division on land and water, so as to ensure that all the troops will cross the river north before dawn."

Li Fengyun thanked Zhai Rang and Xu Shiyun, "The last batch of grain and grass weapons, you don't want to transport them to the other side, take them and evacuate directly." ”

Zhai Rang and Xu Shiyun were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Li Fengyun's generosity was beyond their surprise, with so many grains, grass and weapons, the strength of the Wagang army must be greatly improved, and the survivability will also be greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Yuan An came back and brought Li Baiyao's secret letter. Li Baiyao asked Li Fengyun to cross the river immediately and rush to Yongji Canal to rendezvous, and tonight he was going to arrange an important meeting, a secret discussion related to the future.

"Are you sure that King Qi's position hasn't changed?" Li Fengyun asked coldly.

"An Pinggong is absolutely sure of this." Yuan An (recounted Li Baiyao's words, the "bargaining" between King Qi and Yuwen, the tough attitude of the province towards King Qi, and the fact that King Qi really didn't know that Laihu'er was coming to the Eastern Capital with a sailor.

"Is the King of Qi determined to go north?" Li Fengyun was still skeptical.

Yuan An hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "If King Qi hadn't made up his mind, there would have been no meeting tonight." ”

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time and decided to go to the appointment, "Invite Xinyi Gong (Han Shige), Yining Gong (Zhou Zhong), Pingchang Gong (Yang Gongdao), Hailing Hou (Lai Yuan), Wu Kang Hou (Pei Shuang), Yan Hou (Yu Rou), and Beiwu Hou (Zheng Yan) to cross the river with a certain one." ”

Yuan Anxin comprehended and bowed down to receive the order.
