On March 21, the rebel army and the official army continued to fight fiercely on the front line of Kuangshan, but the battlefield had extended to Licheng, and Dong Chun commanded the Xuzhou Zhuying to attack the south gate of Licheng.
Dong Chun sent an envoy to Pengcheng and ordered the officials of the Wei Government to urgently allocate troops and grain and grass to support the battlefield in Qi County, and urgently wrote to Cui Deben, the Cheng of Pengcheng County, and the administrators of Xiapi and Donghai Counties, asking them to do their best to provide support
Xuzhou has a large population and a rich economy, although some counties and counties have been plundered by the alliance army, and Xuzhou Zhuyingyang has also been wiped out by Li Fengyun, but it cannot shake the fundamentals. After Dong Chun arrived, he was ordered to recruit troops and rebuilt Zhuyingyang in a short period of time, but under the instruction of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, the number of Dong Chun's recruits was as many as 20,000.
At present, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, has an army of 20,000, Li Min, the Taishou of Lu County, has nearly 5,000 men, and Dong Chun brings 3,000 guards. Dong Chun was also very decisive, and transferred 12,000 troops from Xuzhou at one time, the purpose of which was not only to increase the strength of King Qi, but also to use the opportunity in front of him to practice the recruits who had just been recruited.
Dong Chun wants to train his troops, and Li Fengyun wants to train his troops even more. Now on the battlefield of Licheng, the officers and troops are fighting with the armies of all kinds of heroes, not only the heroes in the alliance personally take the battle, but the Hebei heroes are also taking turns to attack. No way, Li Fengyun is too strong, Licheng was defeated by him, and the people of Hebei have to rely on his help, who dares to openly confront Li Fengyun? Li Fengyun divided his descendants into two, one part organized tens of thousands of people to move Licheng, and the other part was deployed in the rear of the battlefield, not only shouldering the responsibility of preparing the army, supporting the frontline armies at any time, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of supervising the army.
Li Fengyun's bloody methods greatly deterred the heroes, even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to clash with Li Fengyun head-on. At this moment, it is a life-and-death crisis, and we must fight bravely to kill the enemy at any cost. Li Fengyun occupied the righteousness, stood on the axioms, and killed people, no one could find a reason to oppose it, and it was in vain to die, so the heroes could only put their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and commanded their soldiers to fight bloodily and desperately block the imperial army.
On this day, Li Zixiong summoned Yang Qian.
Li Zixiong and Guande King Yang Xiong are ministers in the same palace, they have different political views with each other, and they belong to different political groups, although they can't be regarded as political enemies of life and death, but they can't say how good a friendship is, so when Li Min reported that the grandson of Guande King Yang Xiong, the son of Yang Gongren, the prince of Guanguo, served as Sima in Licheng Yingyang Mansion and took the initiative to ask to see, Li Zixiong even guessed the purpose of Yang Qian's request to see, but he was a little surprised, such a wealthy family, why did he submit to Sima in a small Yingyang Mansion? What's the secret? Li Zixiong was quite puzzled, and he happened to be busy with official business, so he did not agree immediately.
Today, Yang Qian asked to see him again, and Li Zixiong also summoned him considering that his family background was illustrious, and the situation in Qi County was gradually becoming clearer.
Li Zixiong didn't know Yang Qian, but Li Min did, and after his introduction, Li Zixiong was polite and invited to take a seat. Li Zixiong's "politeness" is not for Yang Qian, but for the Yang family behind Yang Qian. As the son of the side branch of the royal family, although Yang Qian's identity is very noble and has his own pride, he does not dare to be rude in the face of famous magnates such as Li Zixiong, and he is gentle and modest.
In order to solve the doubts in his heart, Li Zixiong asked directly, why did you serve as Sima in Licheng Yingyang Mansion? Whose arrangement?
Yang Qian's father, Yang Gongren, was a servant of the Ministry of Officials before Ding Wei, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the appointment and dismissal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country, and his power can be imagined.
Yang Qian had no intention of concealing it, and bluntly told Li Zixiong that he was an outlier in the family, did not support radical reform ideas, and was very different from the political views of his grandfather King Guande, and was also very different from the governing philosophy of his father, Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo. His grandfather, King Guande, did not like him, and his father Yang Gongren did not pave the way for his career, but arranged for him to be a low-ranking officer in Yingyang Mansion in Licheng, expelled him from the Eastern Capital, and forced him to correct his mistakes. But Yang Qian is very persistent and stubborn, and would rather be "matched" by the family than change his political philosophy.
Li Zixiong suddenly realized. This kind of thing is very common in wealthy families, and there are fathers and sons who kill each other and brothers because of different political views, and even those who are wiped out because of this. In order to prevent Yang Qian from "causing trouble", Yang Xiong, the king of Guande, and his son Yang Gongren drove him out of the eastern capital and imprisoned him in the middle and lower ranks of the army, not giving him the opportunity to get into trouble, not only to protect the family, but also to protect him personally.
However, Yang Qian's explanation gave Li Zixiong a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly had the idea of pulling Yang Qian onto his "boat", and then holding Yang Gongren and the Yang family hostage.
Yang Qian saw that Li Zixiong was in a good mood, and immediately said the purpose of his request, and begged Li Zixiong to pardon Jia Wuben's guilt, after all, there are too many thieves and too strong, and Jia Wuben has tried his best, he can't stop the attack of the thieves at all, so the responsibility for the loss of Licheng should not be borne by Jia Wuben alone, and it should not be all pushed on Jia Wuben's head.
Li Zixiong waved his hand and said disapprenously, "You are too worried, and you don't have the idea of pursuing Jia Duwei." In the Battle of Licheng, Jia Duwei and his township regiment soldiers had meritorious service and should be rewarded. ”
Yang Qian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He didn't expect Li Zixiong to be so easy to talk and give face, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but make another request, "I heard that Zhang Juncheng is fighting fiercely with the Qilu thieves east of Changbai Mountain, and the battle is very tense, Jia Duwei intends to go to support, I don't know if Ming Gong can ......"
Li Zixiong stroked his beard and smiled, "Jia Duwei has made contact with Zhang Juncheng?" ”
Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, after all, Li Zixiong gave enough face, and it would be disrespectful if he continued to hide it, so he gave a detailed explanation of Zhang Xutuo's decision to flee Qi County and go to Ludong to suppress thieves.
This time, the sailor broke his promise, put Zhang Xutuo together, forced Zhang Xutuo to confront the King of Qi, and put Zhang Xutuo to death, where is this support? This is a knife to kill. Zhang Xutuo faced the complex situation in Qi County, only thirty-six plans to go, stay and he did everything to die, but there was a glimmer of life when he escaped, so Zhang Xutuo fled, but before Zhang Xutuo went to Zhangqiu to suppress the thieves when he brought a limited number of grain and grass weapons, this to Ludong, Zhang Xutuo can only fight to support the war, and he does not dare to count on the support of the water division. Jia Wuben wanted to support Zhang Xutuo, but he actually wanted to bring Zhang Xutuo some grain and grass weapons to solve Zhang Xutuo's urgent need, but now that Licheng is lost, if Jia Wuben wants to get grain and grass weapons, he can only turn to Li Zixiong for help.
"Zhang Juncheng escaped?" Li Zixiong's brows were furrowed, and his tone was very unkind.
"Ming Gong, the thieves of Changbai Mountain and Beihai are fleeing towards Ludong, and this moment is the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill them and annihilate them in one fell swoop, on the contrary, if the thieves are allowed to flee into Ludong and cause trouble to Ludong, it will inevitably threaten the sailors to cross the sea expedition." Yang Qian hurriedly argued, "On the battlefield of Licheng, although the thieves are rampant, the King of Qi is strong, and the main force of the water division is also on the river. Duke Ming should know very well that Zhang Juncheng's strength is not good, even if he stays on the battlefield of Licheng, his role is very limited, and for some well-known reasons, his stay on the battlefield of Licheng will not only hinder the king of Qi from suppressing thieves, but will further worsen the situation in Qi County, which is obviously disliked by the king of Qi. ”
Li Zixiong looked at Yang Qian meaningfully, and a knowing smile gradually appeared on his face, "Okay, as you wish."
Yang was full of flowers, bowed down and thanked again.
"Captain Jia can go, and he can also allocate a batch of grain and grass weapons to him, but you can't go." Li Zixiong pointed at Yang Qian and said, "Your identity has been exposed, and if you continue to stay with Zhang Juncheng, it will inevitably bring Zhang Juncheng a lot of trouble, and it will not give him any substantial help, on the contrary, if you stay here with King Qi and keep in touch with Zhang Xutuo, you can give him support." ”
Yang Qian did not hesitate and agreed, "I would like to stay by Ming Gong's side and charge for Ming Gong." ”
Yang Qian had obviously considered this issue, and after his identity was exposed, it was indeed inappropriate to continue to stay by Zhang Xutuo's side, but he didn't want to stay by King Qi's side either. With his identity, of course, he knew that King Qi was essentially a deposed prince, and he had lost the possibility of fighting for the imperial throne, and no matter how "struggling" today's King of Qi was, he could not escape the fate of defeat.
Li Zixiong laughed and asked, "Are you pessimistic about King Qi's future?" ”
Yang Qian smiled and said nothing, but his smile was very bitter, and it could be seen that he didn't have any hope for his uncle at all.
"I think that the future of King Qi is far less pessimistic than you think." Li Zixiong said with a smile, "If you persist for a few months and insist on staying by King Qi's side, you may be able to see some changes that you can't even imagine, and these changes will definitely have a positive impact on King Qi's future." ”
Yang Qian was puzzled, he heard some unusual things from Li Zixiong's words, and these things made him feel cold, and even made him feel a sense of foreboding involuntarily, could it be that the rumors in the Eastern Capital were true?
