Tang Wei wanted to escape by night, but Yang Xuangan had already ordered the blockade of the camp, and he couldn't escape at all, so he had no choice but to enter Liyang City after dawn to find a chance to escape.

On the morning of the third day of the sixth month, Yang Xuangan wrote a letter in Liyang City, crusading against the Holy Lord, and in accordance with the old system of opening the emperor, he established Shangshu Province, established a center, appointed officials, and proclaimed himself Shangshu Order. On this basis, Shangshu Daxingtai was established, that is, the military government office with the governor of Shangshu Province when he went on the expedition, and the central temporary peripheral organization.

At noon, Yang Xuangan ordered Daxingtai and all the troops to go out from Liyang and go south to attack the eastern capital.

The attack route is to march west along the Yongji Canal, through Hanoi County to the Great River, from the Great River to Luoshui, from the Luoshui to kill the Eastern Capital, although it is a waterway, but this is the fastest route to attack the Eastern Capital, and Yang Xuangan requisitioned all the ships on the Liyang section of the Yongji Canal, and took the waterway to make the best use of it. The first pass to attack the eastern capital by this route was Linqing Pass, which was located at the junction of Ji County and Hanoi County.

Yang Xuangan ordered that Yang Xuanting be the commander of the Feng Army, and Tang Wei was the deputy, leading the army to go first, and take the Linqing Pass with a thunderous momentum, opening the first pass into the eastern capital.

Tang Wei's current official position is Huaizhou Assassin History, Yang Xuangan appointed, and it can be regarded as a heavy responsibility, and Huaizhou is Hanoi County and its surrounding areas before the Holy Lord reformed the administrative division, and it is still Tang Wei's "territory", so he has an innate advantage in attacking Linqing Pass, and he is familiar with the way. Halfway through, Tang Wei found Yang Xuanting, took the initiative to ask Ying, and said that he was willing to take the people of his headquarters to rush to Linqing Pass first, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders of the pass knew nothing about the Liyang mutiny, they were unprepared to attack the enemy, and opened and closed the door by fraud, and the soldiers easily took the pass without blood.

Yang Xuanting agreed, in his opinion, Tang Wei has been "pulled into the water", only by working together, otherwise the left and right are not people, and sooner or later they will die, it is better to give up their lives, who expected Tang Wei's idea to be different, he would rather die than rebel with Yang Xuangan, and he must do his best to protect his relatives and family.

On the morning of the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, Tang Wei rushed to Linqing Pass with his headquarters and horses, and while ordering to hold on, he urgently reported Yang Xuangan's rebellion to the Hanoi County Government, the Ha Duong Governor's Mansion and the Eastern Capital. Considering that he is inferior and powerful, and he is a report of a higher level, the Yue Wangfu, the Central Government and the Dongdu Left-behind Mansion may not pay attention to their own alarms, and even if they do, they may not believe it, after all, Yang Xuangan is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, one of the central rulers, and his power is overwhelming, who dares to suspect him of rebellion? So Tang Wei used his personal connections, first asking for help from the clansmen in the Eastern Capital, and then writing a secret letter to the secretary of the provincial school, Cui, who had a friendship with his classmates. Then Tang Wei went to Hebei to arrest the ambassador Cui Hongsheng, reported to Hebei, Dai Jin and other wealthy families in Shandong who were close to the Tang family, and urgently asked for help from the wealthy family in Hanoi County with the Sima family in Wencheng.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yang Xuanting led his army to arrive at Linqing Pass, but what disappointed him was that it was not the pass that opened the gate that "greeted" him, but the deafening sound of war drums and dense long arrows.

Yang Xuan was furious, and while reporting to Yang Xuangan, he waved his army to attack the city.

Also on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Shi Hanyao, the right commander of the alliance, Hao Xiaode, the head of the front road of the alliance, and Liu Heimin, the deputy head of the alliance, led the sixth, seventh, eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth armies of the alliance to cross the river and join Li Zixiong, who was guarding Liyang.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the alliance helped Li Zixiong to hold Liyang, and Li Zixiong opened the Liyang warehouse to the alliance to ensure the alliance's combat needs and ensure the food supply of more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the alliance. The two sides took what they needed, Li Zixiong exchanged grain for the army, which solved the dilemma of Liyang having no soldiers to defend, while the alliance temporarily solved the food crisis by exchanging the army for food. As for how to cooperate next, both sides have no bottom in their hearts, although the goal of both sides is to go north, but Li Zixiong can only influence and not control the decision-making of King Qi, once King Qi and Yang Xuangan form an alliance and cooperate, they have to enter Beijing to snatch the imperial unification, Li Zixiong can only stare at it, and is powerless to stop it; The situation of the alliance is even more unbearable, now Li Fengyun is trapped in the battlefield of the eastern capital, and the large forces of the alliance are trapped in the battlefield of Liyang, once the situation deteriorates, both may be wiped out, so now whether it is the alliance "old man" Chen Rui Han Yao, or the alliance "newcomer" Hao Xiaode Wang Bo and other Hebei and Qilu heroes, everyone is forced to survive under pressure, all put their self-interests and contradictions aside for the time being, and work together to go all out to survive.

On the same day, Wang Bo, the governor of the left side of the alliance, and Huo Xiaohan, the governor of the right road, were ordered by the Great Governor's Office to command the troops under their command to withdraw from the line of Tongji Canal in turn, and cross Jishui to the north into the territory of Dongjun.

On the same day, in the direction of Qilu, Dong Chun, the general of Pengcheng and Zuo Xiaowei, arrived at the Lujun Prefecture and ordered the eagles to raise and fire into Jiyin County, and then marched to Tongji Canal day and night along the line of Hecheng and Ji, and chased and killed the white thief.

On the same day, in the direction of Hanoi, Gao Bi, the general of Wu Benlang and the general of Li Gongting, the prince of Gaodu, led his army across the water and arrived at Wuzhi City, where he stepped on the spacious embankment of the Yongji Canal, which was only more than 200 miles away from Linqingguan.

On the same day, in the southern part of Gyeonggi, Wu Benlang ordered Zhou Zhong to support the Luoshui line, led the army to advance to the area of Baiting and Kuaixiang, and joined hands with Henan Lingdaxi to strengthen the Luoshui defense line and resolutely block the enemy army north of Luoshui; Wu Benlang's general Fei Yao was ordered to support the Yique battlefield and led the army to advance along the north bank of Luoshui, while Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, took the opportunity to command the army to launch a counterattack on Ganluo City, trying to flank Fei Yao from east to west and recapture Ganluo City to ensure the safety of the flank of Xianren Palace.

Li Fengyun commanded the allied army to block Fei Yao from the eastern capital on the one hand, and launched a fierce attack on the Xianren Palace on the other, besieging Wei to save Zhao, forcing Li Hun to give up the counterattack on Ganluo and shrink the defense.

The two sides fought fiercely for days, constantly increasing troops to the battlefield, the scale of the battle became larger and larger, the battle situation became more and more intense, and the decisive battle situation was very beautiful, but both sides actually had the intention to preserve their strength, and no one was willing to fight to the death before the shape was clear, so as time passed, the atmosphere of the Yique battlefield became more and more weird, as long as you are not an idiot, you can see that there must be infinite mysteries hidden behind the battlefield.

Under the construction of the two generations of emperors, the degree of transmission has reached a new height, especially in the two capitals and their surrounding areas, the degree of transmission is even more amazing, and in the past two years, China has moved foreign wars, and the post station system in extraordinary periods, especially the post station route connecting Liaodong and the Eastern Capital, has a stronger transmission capacity under the investment of the imperial court at any cost.

On the morning of the fourth day of the first month of June, it was only one day before Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny in Liyang, and the "bigwigs" of the major political forces in the eastern capital all received a secret report from Liyang without exception, although Yang Xuangan had blocked all the post stations in Liyang and its surroundings before the mutiny, but he could not block the ubiquitous and pervasive traitors and spies, let alone block the water 6 transportation lines that extend in all directions. In a short period of time, it spread throughout Middle-earth.

After Cui went directly to Liyang to report the secret, he found Cui Xun as soon as possible. Li Fengyun's prediction came true again, although this made Cui more confident in Li Fengyun and had a higher assessment of Li Fengyun's dark power, but then he was worried about his own future, and worried about the losses that Hebei people and even Shandong people might suffer in this storm.

"Tell me right away." Cui Zhen was silent for a long time, raised his hand and shook Cui Zhi twice, "The storm has risen, the crisis has arrived, the situation is out of control, we have no heart, we can only judge the situation and take advantage of the situation, please be cautious." ”

Cui Chuzhi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you continue to keep in touch with Bai?" ”

Cui Zhen shook his hand resolutely, "Sue him, cut off contact, and maintain a tacit understanding." ”

Cui Chuzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "We are trapped in the city, if we don't know anything about the outside of the city, wouldn't it be difficult to make a decision?" ”

"Since we are trapped, what can we do but wait for help? What else is needed to make decisions? Cui Zhen laughed at himself, "If we can hold the eastern capital and keep the king of Yue, we can keep the Cui family, otherwise, the Cui family will be hit hard, so we have no choice, it is our decision to keep the eastern capital and keep the king of Yue." ”

Cui Chuzhi no longer insisted, and immediately changed the topic, "Do you tell Xin Gong (Zheng Yuanshou) and let him be prepared?" ”

Liyang has changed drastically, can the Zheng family in Xingyang, which is only a river away, not know? It's just that Cui's initiative to tell Zheng is different from being silent.

Xingyang Zheng is located in the Central Plains, it belongs to Shandong geographically during the three-legged tripod period, after the unification it is geographically adjacent to Heluo, and in the political zhì it is close to the Guanzhong Wei family, and to strengthen the alliance between each other with in-laws, after the opening of the Grand Canal Xingyang Zheng is in the north and south junction, a certain Cheng dù brought it more and greater rights, but it is accompanied by a great increase in the risk of politics, so Xingyang Zheng's position in this storm is really difficult to deduce, If you take into account the interests of the Shandong people, it has to advance and retreat with the Cui family, if you take into account the Heluo aristocratic group, it will have to give Yang Xuangan support, if from the perspective of the struggle for the imperial system, it must take into account the interests of the Wei family to help the Guanlong people, if from the position of the Zheng family in Xingyang itself, he must maintain the smooth flow of the Grand Canal, and must firmly support the Holy Lord and the Eastern Crusade, only in this way can he maintain the power and wealth of the family, such a complex entanglement of interests, not to mention that outsiders are dazzled and difficult to judge, Even Xingyang Zheng himself is looking ahead and making a decision.

Cui's initiative to inform Zheng about the drastic changes in Liyang is tantamount to coming from the interests of Shandong people, and there is a strong willingness to persuade Xingyang Zheng to obey the overall interests of Shandong, and Zheng is forced by this pressure to take into account when making decisions, which is a good thing for Cui's family, friends are better than strangers, and enemies are always better.
