Fan Zigai was no longer angry, no longer depressed, and regained his calm.

The choice of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, made him overjoyed. Yang Tong is the highest military and political chief who stayed in the eastern capital, and is the nominal supreme commander of the eastern garrison, as long as Yang Tong swears to stick to the eastern capital and is determined to live and die with the eastern capital, the military spirit will not be lost, and the people's hearts will not be chaotic, as for the queen concubines, the central government office, and the aristocratic bureaucracy, their evacuation of the east is a good thing, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, Fan Zigai is worried that he can't get rid of these confusing burdens, clear these ubiquitous hidden dangers, and now it is just right, God wishes, a lot of messy things disappear from the eyes, Out of sight and out of mind, he can concentrate all his energy on dealing with Yang Xuangan.

Fan Zigai immediately changed his attitude, actively cooperated with Yang Gongren, and threw himself into the retreat deployment.

Yang Hao, the king of Qin, was the governor of Ha Duong, who was familiar with Ha Duong and its surroundings, and had a close relationship with the Hanoi county government, so he had to rush to Ha Duong as soon as possible, on the one hand, he chose a suitable place in Ha Duong to set up a camp to accommodate the retreating personnel; On the one hand, it urgently informed the Hanoi county government and asked the local government to organize manpower and material resources to help, and at the same time to take charge of the supply of grain and grass for the camp.

Gao Xiaoji, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Yuan Wendu, the Secretary of the Taifu, Zhang Quan of the Wei Weiqing, the Secretary of the Imperial Shi Wei Yunqi, and the Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji immediately transferred a group of senior officials from the central government to form a line, crossed the river overnight and rushed to Heyang to maintain the daily work of the central government.

The Praetorian Guard was divided into two, and the left prison gate Lang was fully responsible for the evacuation of the forbidden middle, and after dawn, he took the lead in protecting the queen's concubines and retreating to Heyang.

Ordered Wu Benlang to send Fei Yao to immediately transfer 2,000 guards from the army guarding Nanguo into the imperial city to make up for the lack of garrison strength in the imperial city. Whether to abandon Nanguo or not depends on the battle situation, once the Huangdao Bridge cannot be defended, the Nanguo garrison will decisively withdraw into the imperial city.

He also ordered Wu Benlang to put Li Gongting and put the main forces on the western line of Pishan to ensure the safety of the Jingu main road and ensure that Dengjin was unimpeded. He also asked Li Gongting to tell the general of Wuyalang to Gaobi, no matter how much he paid, even if he fought to the last man, he would hold the Linqing Pass to ensure the safety of Hanoi.

Fan Zigai demanded that the central officials join forces to put pressure on Zheng Yuanshou, the general of the right guard, to force him to return to the eastern capital immediately.

The rapid deterioration of the situation in the eastern capital is directly related to the inadequacy of the garrison force in the eastern capital, and the reason why the garrison force in the eastern capital is insufficient is not because of insufficient troops, but because some people ignore the safety of the eastern capital and watch from the sidelines.

There are 40,000 regular garrisons in the eastern capital, in addition to more than 10,000 troops such as Zhou Zhong, Han Shige, Gu Jue, and Lai Yuan, who have surrendered to Yang Xuangan, there are also part of the Praetorian Guard, and part of the troops that support Tiger Prison and Xingyang, as well as the armies of Fei Yao and Li Gongting, and part of the remaining army is fighting fiercely in the imperial city under the command of Li Hun, the general of the Left Xiaowei, and some of them are under the command of the right guard general Zheng Yuanshou and Yu line of troops are not moving.

Of course, Zheng Yuanshou had a reason to "stand still", because he carried out the central decision, which was the order of Yang Tong, the king of Yue. According to Yang Gongren's strategy, he wanted to block the acting king Yang Yu from entering Beijing on the front line of Tongguan, which was actually to prevent the Xijing army from entering the battlefield of the eastern capital, so as not to get out of control of the storm and destroy the eastern capital. Later, although Fan Zigai made a request to Xijing to "send troops to support" in the name of the Eastern Capital Staying Mansion, Yang Gongren did not give up his established strategy, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, did not order Zheng Yuanshou to immediately lead the army back to the Eastern Capital.

However, the shape changed too quickly, Yang Xuangan's strength swelled too quickly, and the battle situation was far beyond the expectations of the Eastern Capital, judging from the visible trend, it was difficult to hold on to the Holy Lord's support by relying on the strength of the Eastern Capital alone, so even if Yang Gongren insisted on refusing Xijing's support, even if Fan Zigai did not insist on asking for help from Xijing, the Xijing army would enter the battlefield of Dongdu, and Dongdu was powerless to stop it. In this case, is it necessary to continue to put Zheng Yuanshou and more than 10,000 garrisons on the front line of Kunshan and Mianchi? Of course, they must be transferred to the battlefield of the Eastern Capital as soon as possible to ensure that the Eastern Capital can hold out for a longer time.

But the question is, does Zheng Yuanshou himself have the will to enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital immediately? Obviously, he didn't, and he left the Eastern Capital abruptly to show his "neutrality" position. Of course, he and Xingyang Zheng are at the center of this storm, and there is no possibility of "neutrality" at all, so K Yuanshou's approach is essentially passive evasion.

At the beginning of the storm, it was chaotic and could not make the right choice, only when the shape was clear, there was the possibility of making the right choice, this is the real purpose of Zheng Yuanshou leaving the Eastern Capital, he wanted to "wait for the price and sell", and sell himself and the Xingyang Zheng family at a good "price". In this case, even if Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and the central officials join forces to exert pressure, Zheng Yuanshou may not return to the Eastern Capital, and take a step back and say that even if he returns to the Eastern Capital, he may not be able to contribute, and what is even more terrifying is that once the generals under his account have defected and defected to Yang Xuangan, it is invisibly equivalent to helping Yang Xuangan expand his strength.

Fan Zigai had a tough attitude and implored Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to order Zheng Yuanshou to support the eastern capital immediately.

Zheng Yuanshou entered the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the benefits are obvious, but the hidden dangers are also obvious, which is the benefit or the disadvantage? Is it because of the drawbacks that you will choke on food, or will you take a risk? Yang Gongren, Cui Zhen and others actually knew Fan Zigai's intentions. Fan Zigai's intention is very simple, to shirk responsibility. My center transferred you back, the center did your duty, there was no dereliction of duty, but if you don't come back, and the east is facing Yu, that is your responsibility, if the east capital falls, you will be fully responsible. Fan Zigai used Yang Mou to openly call Zheng Yuanshou for battle, and Zheng Yuanshou was very passive, sandwiched between Fan Zigai and Yang Xuangan and was "ravaged", it was difficult to choose, if he stood on the side of the Holy Lord, Yang Xuangan would definitely hit the Xingyang Zheng family, on the contrary, the Holy Lord came back, and the Xingyang Zheng family could still escape the "liquidation"? The left and right are dead, and it is really difficult for Zheng Yuanshou.

No matter how the wealthy fight each other, there is generally room for them not to do anything to kill them all. If you are in trouble today, I will give you a way out, and tomorrow when I am in trouble, people will also give me a way out, and after the unspoken rules are formed, it will be possible to pass them on from generation to generation, otherwise they will be extinct sooner or later. Fan Zigai was born in a poor family, a low-class nobleman, and he should understand this truth and abide by this unspoken rule, but Fan Zigai is already crazy, he just killed Pei Hongce in the morning, offended the Pei family in Hedong, which is now powerful and hot, and at night he wants to target Zheng Yuanshou again, and he wants to openly confront Xingyang Zheng's family, a wealthy family in Middle Earth, which shows that this old guy has been completely "bad" by the magnates of the Eastern Capital. If you want to make it perish, let it go crazy first, Fan Zigai is really crazy, and no one can stop it.

Although Yang Gongren disagreed with his political views, he admired his upright and loyalty, and had to kindly remind Fan Zigai at this moment, "We must face up to the reality, in Heluo, in the entire Greater Gyeonggi, the prestige of Hongnong Yang and Yang Xuangan is immeasurable, and in the short term, Yang Xuangan's advantage on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital is too obvious and unstoppable." ”

Too rigid and easy to break, good and soft undefeated. Avoid the enemy's edge first, then you can hit the enemy's weakness. This is true both politically and militarily. Fan Zigai's character is upright and his ruling style is sharp, and the Holy Lord values him, obviously wanting to use his indomitable and invincible spirit to charge forward on the road of radical reform. Facts have proved that this is indeed very effective, and the central government's executive power has increased, but the drawbacks are also obvious, the contradictions between the reformers and the conservatives have risen sharply, and Fan Zi Gai has been "roasted" on the fire, and sooner or later it will disappear in ashes.

On the issue of Zheng Yuanshou's use, we must first consider whether his entry into the battlefield of the Eastern Capital is conducive to the defense of the Eastern Capital, if the answer is no, and it may even endanger the holding of the Eastern Capital, then we must be cautious, and we must not do anything that harms others and is not beneficial to ourselves. However, Fan Zigai was on the verge of losing control because of Pei Hongce's affairs, and he was carried away by hatred. Since you have joined forces to kill Pei Hongce, I will vent my anger on Zheng Yuanshou, and let him shed his skin if he does not die.

Fan Zigai refused to accept Yang Gongren's advice.

Yang Gongren weighed it again and again, but still compromised. If the Eastern Capital falls, more people are indeed needed to share the blame, and Yang Gongren does not want to be a bodhisattva who "purifies all sentient beings".

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, ordered Zheng Yuanshou, the general of the right guard, to urgently support the eastern capital, and if there was an accident on the front line of Kun and Mian because of the lack of troops, the king of Yue and the central government were willing to take full responsibility. This is equivalent to cutting off all Zheng Yuanshou's excuses, he must arrive in the Eastern Capital in the shortest possible time, otherwise his guilt will be great, his head may not be protected, and the family will be affected.

After the Shangshudu Provincial Deliberations were completed, Yang Gongren hurriedly left the West Sun Gate and rushed to Li Hun's military camp to convey the central decision-making to him.

Li Hun seemed very calm, and was not surprised by the central government's decision to evacuate the eastern capital, on the contrary, if the central government decided to live and die with the eastern capital, it would be a surprising thing.

"From the analysis of the trend of the battle situation, if you want to defend the imperial city, you must give up Nanguo." Yang Gongren shook his head and sighed, "Only in this way can we concentrate our forces on the north of Luoshui, hold Beiguo at any cost, hold back to Luocang, hold the western line of Pishan, and ensure that Dengjin is unimpeded, so that even if Xingyang falls and Hangu is lost, the southbound army can still enter the Dongdu battlefield, and the Xijing army can also go down the river, and we still have hope of defending the imperial city." ”

Li Hun glanced at the worried Yang Gongren and said, "King Yue doesn't leave, although it will help to boost morale, it will also easily lead to a great war with the emperor, and the disadvantages will outweigh the benefits." ”

Yang Gongren shook his hand, unintentionally delving into this sensitive topic, "After we abandon Nanguo, Fei Yao will retreat into the imperial city, and at that time, will Gong be willing to cross the Li and take over the defense of Beiguo, Huiluocang and Kim Yong City, and resolutely block Yang Xuangan from the eastern line of Pishan?" ”

Li Hun bowed his hand and agreed, "As you wish." ”
