On the second day of the first month of September, Zhuo County's deputy guard, Wu Benlang's general Yin Shishi, together with Huaihuang Town's general, Wu Yalang's general broke the Liuhan Maha, and since early morning, he commanded the army to storm Guangning City, and after a fierce battle, captured the city after noon and successfully recovered Guangning.

On the afternoon of the same day, Hai Dongqing, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Alliance, led his troops to evacuate Quang Ninh, and under the response of Han Shige, the commander of the Leopard Army, he hurried to Jimingjin to meet Li Zixiong, who had rushed to Jinkou in advance, and then quickly crossed the river and went north overnight.
In the afternoon of the same day, King Qi led his army to arrive outside the city. Before dusk, the Yin World Master, who had just recovered Guangning City, came to meet him respectfully.
Yesterday, King Qi reached a compromise with the Yin World Master. The king of Qi helped the Yin Shishi to kill the traitors and drive the rebels out of the fortress to quickly stabilize the situation in Yanbei, while the Yin Shishi "reciprocated the peach" and promised to give the king of Qi all-round cooperation during the border patrol to ensure that the king of Qi completed the goal of the border patrol.
After bidding farewell to Queen Qi, the Yin Shishi was very depressed, under great pressure, and very worried about the future, and the reason was that he did not want to do what he did not want to do. He didn't want to have too much intersection with the King of Qi, didn't want to get involved in the dispute over the imperial system, and tried to keep a safe "distance" from the King of Qi, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, the situation in Yanbei was too complicated, and in the end he couldn't help himself, but he still had an intersection with the King of Qi and narrowed the distance, and once the result of the cooperation between the two sides was not conducive to the situation in northern Xinjiang and the stability of the relationship between the north and the south, the consequences would be serious.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly at the beginning of the cooperation, King Qi kept his promise and did not rush to attack Guangning, Li Zixiong also kept his promise to withdraw from Guangning in time, and Po Liuhan Maha also kept his promise to give full support to the Yin Shishi, it seems that the foreign forces and local forces respect and maintain the authority of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion, but the Yin Shishi has a calculation in his heart, all this is based on the exchange of interests, if he is not beaten by them and has to sell the interests of the Left-behind Mansion, there is no "harmony" situation at all now.
If you want to quickly stabilize the situation in Yanbei, you have to implement a murder plan with a knife, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and drive Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong out of the fortress to attack the Turks. For this reason, the king of Qi must be urged to go north to the Great Wall as soon as possible to provide support and response to Er Li, but the king of Qi came in a hurry, and there was a serious shortage of grain and grass weapons.
It's just that Li Zixiong has just looted the Guangning treasury, and the Yin Shishi can't get the grain and grass weapons, although he can ask Duan Da for help and urgently transfer it from Youzhou, but it takes time to transport. At present, the situation in Yanbei is changing rapidly, and the situation may change if there is a slight delay, and the King of Qi and Er Li may change their hexagram and break their promises, so the Yin Shishi is anxious and has to persuade Po Liuhan Maha to ask him to first save an emergency with the military reserves of Huaihuang Town, first replenish the grain and grass weapons to the King of Qi, first "invite" the King of Qi to the border town, first drive the rebels out of the fortress, first stabilize the overall situation, and then wait until the grain and grass weapons in Youzhou are transported to Yanbei, he will definitely send them to Huaihuang as soon as possible to ensure the supply of military supplies to the border town.
Po Liuhan Maha was a little hesitant at the beginning, after all, the rebels out of the fortress is a big matter, the border town may break out at any time, and Huaihuang's reserves are limited, once the 20,000 troops of the King of Qi are put into the battlefield, the consumption is too great, and the little reserves of Huaihuang can't be satisfied at all, at the critical moment, if the Yin Shishi deliberately stabbed the King of Qi and him in the back, found a reason to prevaricate and delay the delivery of grain, grass and weapons, and took the opportunity to use the Turkic "knife" to attack the King of Qi and him, the situation deteriorated, and the risk he took was too great.
However, Shao Jingan advised him not to think too much. In the current situation in Yanbei, the King of Qi is the core figure, and the mission of the King of Qi to the north is to patrol the border and stabilize the relationship between the north and the south, so no matter how bold Duan Da and the Yin Shishi are, they dare not confront the King of Qi head-on, and they dare not openly go against the wishes of the Holy Lord and the center. On the other hand, although it cannot be said that it is insignificant in the current situation in Yanbei, it is not crucial, its influence is already very limited, and it has been reduced to a "supporting role", and the "supporting role" must have the consciousness of a "supporting role", while actively protecting himself, he must also decisively make a choice that is beneficial to himself, do not be too cautious, indecisive or even two-faced, push himself to the forefront and become the target of public criticism.
For the wealthy family of Youyan, because of the painful lesson of Yang Liang, the king of Han, coupled with the fact that the king of Qi was in a deep political crisis and could not extricate himself, and the clouds of the Civil War hung over the Great Wall, their choice must be to stand on the side of the holy lord and cooperate with the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion, and it is absolutely impossible to support the king of Qi. Shao Jing'an has clearly told Po Liuhan Maha about this, shattering Po Liuhan Maha's unrealistic illusions, Mingzhe has no future to protect himself, and he must cooperate with Yin Shi tacitly, and would rather form a three-way confrontation in Yanbei than let the King of Qi sit big and endanger the local interests of Yanbei. Since the decision has been made, it is necessary to carry it out to the letter, and not to suffer from half-heartedness in the face of gains and losses, which will not benefit everyone, let alone help control the development of the situation.
Poliu Han Maha accepted Shao Jing'an's persuasion and agreed to the proposal of the Yin Shishi, so the two rushed together to meet the king of Qi outside the city.
The Netherworld Division gave a detailed account of the current battle situation. After Li Zixiong sacked the Guangning treasury, he had already crossed Yuyanshui from Jimingjin and went straight to the Great Wall. And today, the executive office also received an urgent military information from Daning City, Wu Benlang reported Zhao Shizhu that the traitor's Xuanfeng army had been killed to the Yehuling Pass, and it was separated by a wall from Huaihuang Town, and the follow-up men and horses of the rebels were still going north to the front line of the Great Wall, which posed a great threat to the security of Changcheng Town.
Then the Yin Shishi said an important key point, the garrison of Changcheng saw the rebels roaring and approaching the Great Wall, endangering the safety of the border fortress, and decisively lit the beacon fire.
The beacon fire was ignited, and the garrison of Yanbei Changcheng immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and this state affected not only the defense line of the Great Wall, but also the situation outside the fortress. When the prisoners who did not know the truth saw the Great Wall lit up, they were bound to be nervous, highly vigilant, and gathered men and horses to wait for the battle, and even those who were bold and reckless and had ill intentions even took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack and take advantage of the fire to rob, which would further aggravate the tense atmosphere between the north and south of the Great Wall, and the slightest carelessness might lead to a conflict, causing the Great Wall defense line to fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.
Of course, the Yin Shishi said that the Great Wall beacon fire was lit not to exaggerate the tension of the Great Wall, but to imply that it was more difficult to drive the rebels out of the fortress to fight, and in the case of the high alert and preparation of the various tribes outside the fortress, the rebels lost their suddenness in attacking out of the fortress, and they would inevitably be strongly blocked by the armies of the tribes outside the fortress, so the situation would be unfavorable to the king of Qi, after all, if the rebels could gain something from the battle, if they could return with the whole division, it would be very beneficial for the king of Qi to develop and grow based in Yanbei, On the contrary, the plan that King Qi had worked hard about had just begun to encounter a heavy setback, and the prospects were bleak.
King Qi knew that the purpose of the Yin Shi Shi Shi was just to urge him to follow the rebels and quickly go north to the Great Wall, although he was disdainful of this little trick of the Yin Shi Shi, but his face still showed concern, and then asked quietly, "The northern captives Chen soldiers are waiting, and the white-haired thieves will go out of the fortress to seek death?" ”
The Yin World Master understands it. Whether the white-haired thief is out of the fortress has nothing to do with whether the northern captives are waiting for him, the key is the king of Qi, as long as the king of Qi orders the white-haired thief to go out of the fortress and lure him to his advantage, the white-haired thief will of course go out of the fortress to fight and fight to the death. Now the attitude of the king of Qi is obvious, you fulfill your promise, give me grain, grass and weapons, I will immediately go north to the Great Wall, and immediately "force" the white-haired thief to fight out of the fortress, but now that the Guangning treasury has been looted by Li Zixiong, what do you use to fulfill your promise?
"If the king pursues him relentlessly, pressing forward step by step, the white-haired thief has no way to escape, but to get out of the plug and survive in death." The Yin Shishi was blunt, directly picked out the words, and then raised his hand to Po Liuhan Maha who was standing beside him, "Po Liuhan Zhen will immediately lead the army north to chase the thief, open the way for the king to move forward, clear the obstacles, and ensure the safety of the king's patrol of the border." ”
When King Qi heard this, he immediately looked up at Po Liuhan Maha, and a trace of cold chill flashed in his indifferent eyes. Yin Shishishi's attitude is tough, these words clearly show that he has won the support of the Broken Six Han Maha, and the local forces in Yanbei work closely with the Left-behind Mansion, in other words, although the local forces in Yanbei do not dare to openly offend the King of Qi, they will definitely not support the King of Qi, at most, they will stay away, and resolutely do not go to the King of Qi, the "broken boat" that will capsize at any time.
King Qi pondered for a while, and then asked, "He is the general of Huaihuang Town, and he is not in charge of the Changcheng Town, so how can he ensure the safety of patrolling the border in Yanbei?" ”
"The king doesn't know." Yin Shishi hurriedly replied, "Before the minister came to Yanbei, Duan Liushou had already made a decision, Wu Benlang would return Zhao Shizhu to Jicheng immediately, and be fully responsible for the safety of the Holy Lord and the palace. ”
The implication is that Wu Benlang will Zhao Shizhu will leave Yanbei immediately, and he will stay in Guangning to dispatch in the center, so that the defense line of the Great Wall and the garrison of Huaihuangbian Town will be fully responsible for Po Liuhan Maha and follow the king of Qi to patrol the border to ensure the safety of the king of Qi patrolling the border. From this, it is not difficult to deduce that as long as the Yin Shishi gives an order, the Breaking Six Han Maha will definitely call on the Great Wall defense line and the military reserves of Huaihuang Border Town to meet the urgent needs of the King of Qi for grain, grass and weapons. From another point of view, in the short term, breaking the Liuhan Maha can be regarded as "stuck" the key point of the King of Qi, if the King of Qi is eager to control Yanbei and secretly kills the Liuhan Maha, then the King of Qi must consider the huge risk that the grain and grass weapons may fall into the predicament of being cut off.
King Qi was furious, and a strong killing intent poured out from the bottom of his heart. He is a king, with the self-esteem of a king, and now that the tiger is falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, any cat or dog dares to threaten him, and they dare to hold a knife on his neck to threaten him, how can this be reasonable! The tiger is not powerful, you should be a lonely and sick cat?
