The victory came so quickly and easily that the soldiers of the rebel army raised their arms and cheered, as if they were in a dream, and there was a strong sense of unreality.

At the same time, the prestige of Bai Shuai Li Fengyun rose again, and he proved his invincible strength with victories and miracles, and stabilized his position as the supreme commander of the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance, and his authority was gradually established in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qilu Rebel Army, and began to win their respect and trust.

However, in the headquarters of the rebel army, although the joy of victory was also permeated in the sultry air, the atmosphere in the camp was quite tense, and the fierce arguments coming from the big tent in the army made the subordinates and guards of the Great Governor's Mansion secretly worried, and they were cautious one by one, tiptoeing, lest the noise disturb the tent

The righteous army broke through the Jiyin defense line and captured Jiyin Mansion, and one foot had already set foot on the Central Plains, but at this moment, the righteous army was nearly 700 miles away from the center of Mengshan City, and nearly 300 miles away from the border of Lu County, and the distance from the rear was very far.

Although this time the Righteous Army Alliance fought hand in hand and destroyed the Jiyin defense line and created a miracle, this is directly related to the fact that the main force of Jiyin Yingyangfu went to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and the strength of the town was insufficient, and the Jiyin local township regiment was unwilling to obey Wei Baoluan's orders, which did not mean that the strength of the Righteous Army Alliance was strong enough to compete with the official army, so the heroes came out from the actual situation and slowed down the pace of westward expansion. First stand on both sides of the Heshui River, while strengthening the team, while seeing how the Eastern Capital reacts and how the situation unfolds, and keep an appropriate distance from the rear of Mengshan University, you can advance or retreat, so that you can always control the initiative.

After entering Jiyin, all the rebel armies are actively recruiting and expanding, just because there are many exiles and disaster victims, and the expansion is very fast, but the combat effectiveness has decreased when there are more people, this problem is very strict, which directly affects the survival of the rebel army, so we must take time to train the team to improve combat effectiveness, and strive to show the strength of the rebel alliance to a new height in the shortest possible time, and showing the strength of the rebel army is the real purpose of this western expedition to the Central Plains. If you are carried away by the victory in front of you, blindly confident, and continue to advance to the Central Plains without waiting to digest and absorb the current results, it is obviously not good for yourself, and it also deviates from the original intention of this western expedition to the Central Plains.

Yat disagreed.

The Eastern Crusade was in full swing, with the elongation of the battle line, the military consumption was increasing, and the demand for grain and grass was increasing, and the important task of the Eastern Capital was to ensure that the grain and grass could be continuously transported to the battlefield to meet the needs of the Eastern Crusade, so that the smooth flow of the Grand Canal was crucial. If the rebel army failed to destroy the Jiyin defense line and was held back by the important Henan towns such as Jiyin, Dingtao, and Chengshi, then it would not be able to pose a substantial threat to the safety of the river and the Tongji Canal. Now the situation is different, after the righteous army breaks through the Jiyin defense line, the first line of the Jishui River is not in danger to defend, and the righteous army can directly kill Xingyang and directly kill the Central Plains Tianjian defense line, which has constituted a serious threat to the safety of the big river and Tongji Canal, so the eastern capital must send troops, either directly enter the Ji and Heyi line to attack the righteous army, or Chen Chong troops in the Tianqian defense line, while blocking the righteous army from attacking Gyeonggi, strengthen the garrison force of the big river and Tongji Canal.

"In a certain opinion, it is not very likely that the Eastern Capital will directly send troops to fight the chaos, because the Eastern Capital must take into account the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and it must make every effort to ensure that the Donglai Naval Division crosses the sea for an expedition within the scheduled time." Xiao Yi said, "If the Eastern Capital directly sends troops to fight the rebellion and attack us with heavy troops, we will inevitably retreat and withdraw to Lu County, which will affect the situation in Qilu and even the situation in Xuzhou, and once the situation in Qilu continues to deteriorate, or the situation in Xuzhou falls into turmoil, then even if the Donglai Naval Division crosses the sea for an expedition within the scheduled time, it will also affect the military supply of the Naval Division's baggage fleet to the Eastern Expeditionary Army." ”

At that time, if all the grain and grass were transported by the 6th route, the distance was too far, not only the number of military supplies could not be guaranteed, but also the safety could not be guaranteed, so sea transportation became an important supplement, and even directly determined whether the expeditionary force could capture Pyongyang before the arrival of winter.

"Based on this, it was concluded that the Eastern Capital would definitely ask Chen Chong's troops to defend the Tianqian defense line, do their best to defend the Great River and the Tongji Canal and waterway, and let us burn, kill, and plunder on the Jiji and Hehe lines, so that we can not only drag us to the periphery of Gyeonggi and help the Donglai Sailor Shun to complete the expeditionary mission, but also intensify the contradictions between us and the Henan people, and use our hands to severely damage the local forces in Henan, and at the same time find an excuse to put all the blame for the local government's ineffective disaster relief to us."

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, giving everyone time to think about his words.

"If the inference of a certain is correct, and before the victory of the Eastern Expedition, the Eastern Capital wants to use all the forces of the Gyeonggi garrison to ensure the safety of the Great River, the Tongji Canal and the Gyeonggi region, instead of taking the initiative to enter the front line of Jiji and He, then what reason do we have to hold back and stop at Jiyin, and miss this best opportunity to expand and grow in vain?"

Xiao Yi was high-spirited and eloquent, showing the innate confidence and pride of the children of the family vividly.

Those who are qualified to sit here to discuss the alliance's decisions are all commanders of the rebel armies, and they can more or less guess Xiao Yi's true identity. Although Li Fengyun has never revealed that he has secret dealings with the Cui clan of Shandong and the Xiao clan of Jiangzuo, nor has he ever revealed the identity of Xiao Yi's secret envoy, but everyone's eyes are bright, with Li Fengyun's intelligence and the strength of the Righteous Alliance, he has not yet gained a foothold in Lu County, and he hurriedly marched west to the Central Plains. Thinking of the fog shrouded in Li Fengyun's body, and thinking of what Pengcheng Cui Deben and Lanling Xiao did during this time, it can't help but give people infinite reverie, if Li Fengyun has some kind of connection with the Cui family and the Xiao family, and behind him is the huge Shandong and Jiangzuo aristocratic group, then the future is still promising. In this way, the identity of this young handsome man beside Li Fengyun is about to come out.

If Xiao Yat represents the huge power group behind Li Fengyun, then the many reasons he put forward at this moment to continue westward expansion are debatable, what is his purpose? Will it use the sharp knife of the Rebel Alliance to cut off the military supply of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and then lead the Eastern Expedition to fall short, or will it take advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Emperor, the Central Army, and the Weifu Army are all on the battlefield of the expedition, and when Gyeonggi is empty, a heavy blow will be dealt to the Eastern Capital, so as to achieve some important political intention?

"The Gyeonggi garrison has heavy responsibilities and directly obeys the emperor's orders, and the emperor will not hastily mobilize the Gyeonggi garrison to fight the chaos because of the fall of Jiyin and the emergency of Jiyin and He." Han Jinluo spoke, although his tone was peaceful, but between his words, there was obviously a meaning of questioning Xiao Yi, you said that you deduced that the Gyeonggi garrison would not go out of the Beijing rebellion, in fact, you were treating us as idiots, do you think we don't know that only the emperor can mobilize the Gyeonggi garrison?

"In a certain opinion, when we march west into the Central Plains, our real opponent is not the most powerful Gyeonggi garrison, but the Duweifu, Yingyangfu and local township regiments of Xingyang, Dongjun and Liang counties. These three counties are located on the outskirts of Gyeonggi, and they are not only responsible for defending the eastern capital, but also directly responsible for the safety of the great river and the Tongji Canal, so whether the eastern capital is threatened or the transportation channel is blocked, the military and political governors of these three counties are directly responsible. ”

"If we continue to advance westward, we will inevitably advance along both sides of the Jishui River, and if the Xingyang army relies on the Tianqian Pass defense to block us head-on, and the Dongjun and Liangjun armies flank us from the north and south, we are very likely to be surrounded by the official army."

Han Jinluo looked at Xiao Yi, smiled, and said slowly, "The purpose of our westward march to the Central Plains is to grow stronger, so that we can survive tenaciously in the future, not to shake the tree by grasshoppers, not to fight head-on with officials and troops several times our own size, and to bring about our own defeat." ”

Xiao Yi laughed, his eyes sneering, "In the opinion of Manager Han, if we stop at Jiyin and sweep Ji and He, we will be able to show our strength?" I ask you, how long can we last with the grain we have seized now? How many troops can be fed? What do we do when the victims are flocking in? If we ignore them and let them die in mourning, we will be a butcher who kills people, the culprit of the misery of life, and we will be pointed at by thousands of people, and we will lose the support of the people and quickly die. If we want to survive, we must win the hearts of the people, we must do our best to provide disaster relief, and we must save people at any cost, only in this way can we defeat the government morally, win the support of the people to the greatest extent, and successfully unite the hearts of the army and the people. ”

"If we want to save people and relieve disasters, we must have enough food, and if we want to get enough food, we must go west, we must enter the Central Plains, we must go to the great rivers and the Tongji canal and waterways, and there is no other way."

"Therefore, stopping at Jiyin is a self-defeating road, and if you want to survive in death, you can only stride into the Central Plains, with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and fight to the death with the officials and soldiers."

The scorching heat in the tent continued unabated, and everyone was sweating, especially after Xiao Yat said "with the determination to break the cauldron and fight to the death with the officials and soldiers", the resentment and irritability suddenly spread. The marshals could not accept this point of view, and the strategy of expanding westward, after capturing Jiyinxing, changed the "decisive battle to the death", which was purely to push the righteous army to a dead end, and to put the righteous army to death purely for the political purpose of some people

However, in the face of the swarming victims, in the face of a pair of desperate eyes, and in the face of the human purgatory that starved and devastated the wild spirits, the heroes felt heavy in their hearts and felt pain. The capture of Jiyin was not a victory, nor did it bring substantial development to the rebels, on the contrary, the rebels fell headlong into the abyss of defeat, and in order to survive, the rebels really had to break the boat.

The sweaty heroes were speechless at each other, and a doubt welled up in everyone's hearts, is the strategy of westward expansion into the Central Plains right or wrong? Will it bring the Rebel Alliance an exhibition or a defeat?
