Laihu'er quickly calmed down and considered countermeasures.

Although Yang Xuangan suddenly rebelled, the crisis in the Eastern Capital suddenly exploded, the Grand Canal was cut off, and the Second Eastern Crusade was in jeopardy, this was still expected by the Holy Lord and the center, and emergency measures had already been prepared. Of course, this is the worst situation, it is the situation that the Holy Lord and the Central Center do not want to see, and the emergency strategy is only to save the emergency, to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if you want to solve the fundamental problem and resolve this crisis, you still need to come up with effective countermeasures according to the development of the form, that is to say, the Second Eastern Crusade must be suspended, the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force must return to the Eastern Capital, and the external must first be calmed down, and the internal crisis must be solved first, so that we can concentrate on the external world.

But the real problem is that Liyang has fallen, the Yongji Canal has been interrupted, the north-south transportation artery has been broken, and the materials from the south can no longer be transported to the northern Xinjiang, and the materials hoarded in the northern Xinjiang are limited, which cannot guarantee the huge demand of the northern Xinjiang town and the Eastern Expedition battlefield. As one of the supreme commanders of the Wei Mansion, Lai Hu'er still knows a little about the amount of material reserves in northern Xinjiang, which can last for about three months under normal circumstances, and about two months during wartime.

The Grand Canal was cut off on the third day of the first month of June, and the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion could not be delivered to the Holy Lord until at least mid-June, but how the Eastern Capital stated it when it was reported directly affected the assessment and judgment of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee on this crisis. Including all the materials hoarded in Zhuojun, Beiping, Linyu Palace in western Liaoning, Wanghaidun and Huaiyuan Town in Liaodong, when the Grand Canal was cut off for almost a month, there was only more than a month of reserves left, and it was impossible to support the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops and the materials needed to return to the Eastern Capital with the soldiers and civilians on a long journey, that is to say, the Holy Lord could only return to the Eastern Capital with the palace and the Praetorian Guard, and the army that solved the crisis in the Eastern Capital could only be transferred in the country.

However, at present, the number of troops that can be requisitioned in the country is very limited, and the Northwest Army will definitely not be able to move, even if it is mobilized, it will be a few months later, and the number of troops is limited; The garrison force in northern Xinjiang is already very thin, except for Zhuo County, which can also transfer some troops, there are no troops in other places at all; Jiangdu's army had to suppress Jiangzuo and assume the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the southeastern frontier, and could not be transferred until it was forced to leave; As a result, in addition to the Liangjing garrison that was directly involved in this storm, the only army that can be called upon now is the Donglai Water Division.

However, the current task of the Donglai Navy Division is to cross the sea expedition, and the officers and men of the Navy Division must concentrate on preparing to cross the sea without distraction, unless they receive the edict of the Holy Lord to interrupt the Eastern Crusade, they cannot be disturbed by the crisis of the Eastern Capital, let alone postpone or even abandon the sea crossing without authorization in order to support the Eastern Capital.

After repeated analysis and deduction, Laihu'er made a decision that no matter how the crisis in the Eastern Capital unfolds, and whether the Eastern Capital is in danger under the siege of Yang Xuangan, first make every effort to recover Liyang and open up the North-South Grand Canal, as long as the material resources in the south continue to be sent to the northern Xinjiang, then the Holy Lord and the center can firmly grasp the initiative, and there will be more choices, not only to carry out the Eastern Expedition to the end, but also to return to the Eastern Capital to quell the rebellion, of course, more importantly, to ensure the safety of the northern Xinjiang garrison, as long as the thousands of miles of border defense in the northern Xinjiang is solid as a rock, As long as the north and the south always maintain peace, the Holy Lord and the center will not be attacked by the enemy, and the Weifu army will not fight on two fronts, and they will be able to concentrate on solving Yang Xuangan's military coup and the resulting crisis in the eastern capital.

Laihu'er invited Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu to discuss countermeasures.

Zhou Fashang and Cui Junsu were shocked, they didn't expect that all of a sudden, the situation in the Eastern Capital had deteriorated to such a point, which could basically declare the Second Eastern Crusade failed and ended, and the new national defense and diplomatic grand strategy was basically "aborted" after this heavy setback, and what was even stricter was that the Eastern Capital was hit hard, the major forces reshuffled, and the future political situation in China and Turkey will usher in a period of violent turmoil, and the reform will inevitably come to a standstill or even regress, but this is not the strictest, The strictest thing is that after the Holy Lord and the center are hit hard, their own authority has fallen to the lowest point, not to mention controlling the major forces in the court, even the government is difficult to control, and the unstable foundation of the centralized "edifice" will collapse because of this, and the gate lord clan will "appear on the scene" and feast on the redistribution of power and wealth.

The interests of the Jiangzuo people are closely linked to the interests of the Holy Lord, and when the Holy Lord declines, the vested interests of the Jiangzuo people cannot be preserved, so from the position of Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, they have no choice but to do their best to support the Holy Lord, even if they are broken.

However, Zhou Fashang's countermeasures are diametrically opposed to Laihu'er's decision-making.

Zhou Fashang has great confidence in the Holy Lord and the center, he believes that since the Holy Lord and the center dare to start the Second Eastern Crusade immediately after the defeat of the First Eastern Crusade, they will immediately launch the Second Eastern Crusade, such as military coups, the interruption of the Grand Canal and other extremely bad situations must be in their consideration, and they must have prepared emergency measures and made careful arrangements, so Zhou Fashang has reason to believe that Yang Xuangan will be destroyed in the shortest possible time. The storm will subside in the shortest possible time, and the Lord will still win the Second Crusade.

Zhou Fashang insisted on the Eastern Crusade, insisted on crossing the sea, and strictly abided by the military discipline law, although this attitude was conservative and old-fashioned, and did not know how to change, but military discipline was like this, soldiers were to obey orders, if the commanders were as insidious and cunning as politicians, brazen, and reckless, then the army could still become the "Great Wall" that guarded the kingdom?

Lai Hu'er looked at Zhou Fashang coldly, with a speechless depressed expression. Zhou Fashang is not a pure soldier, he has been a military and political governor in many border counties and wild places, and his political experience is even richer than that of Laihu'er, but because of this, his "old-fashioned" at the moment is enough to show that his view of the future situation is very pessimistic.

Lai Hu'er couldn't find any reason to convince Zhou Fashang. Li Zixiong escaped under his "intentional arrangement", but Li Zixiong fled to Liyang to rebel, and when he was held accountable in the future, he did not come to Hu'er to take responsibility alone, but the three top officials of the water division were all responsible. Now that he is going to break the law again, he will ignore the Eastern Expedition and lead the army to the Eastern Capital to quell the rebellion without authorization, and the responsibility for this matter will be even greater in the future, and he will cut off his head, so Zhou Fashang will not give Lai Hu'er a funeral anyway.

Lai Hu'er can only ask Cui Junsu's opinion, if Cui Junsu is also resolutely opposed, it will be difficult for him to do it, but he knows that Cui Junsu will definitely not object, and he will definitely come up with a countermeasure that is acceptable to all three of them, for no other reason, Yang Xuangan killed You Yuan.

This matter is full of mysteries, everyone knows that it is impossible for Yang Xuangan to kill You Yuan, so who killed You Yuan? It must be Yang Xuangan's opponent. Who is Yang Xuangan's opponent? The Guanlong people and the Shandong people were hostile to each other, and the conservatives and reformers were hostile to each other, so from Xijing's standpoint, whether its purpose was to destroy the Eastern Capital or rebuild the imperial system, it needed Yang Xuangan to be strong enough, and the best way to make Yang Xuangan strong enough was to pull the Shandong people into the "trap", so Xijing had no reason to kill You Yuan.

The next person who may kill You Yuan is the Shandong people, that is, the Hebei people, for no other reason, Yang Xuangan's mutiny is the best opportunity for Shandong people to fight against the Guanlong people, and if Yang Xuangan is destroyed, the Guanlong group can be severely damaged, so the Shandong people can escape the opponent's "trap", and in desperation, only the strong man broke his arm and killed You Yuan, and at the same time took the head of a wealthy family to warn all Shandong nobles, draw a clear line with Yang Xuangan, and send them a clear signal to launch a retaliatory counterattack against the Guanlong people.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are other suspects who "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight" by killing You Yuan, but this is not important, the important thing is that now the Shandong people have stood on the side of the Holy Lord, so Lai Hu'er firmly believes that the position of Cui Junsu and Qinghe Cui is definitely a counterrebellion.

At present, the only army in Hebei that has the ability to quell the rebellion is the Hebei ambassador Cui Hongsheng, but Cui Hongsheng's strength is not enough, it is not that he does not have the strength to capture Liyang and reopen the Grand Canal, but that the king of Qi has joined the storm. Regardless of the purpose of the King of Qi, the King of Qi would not rush into the Eastern Capital recklessly until the initial stage of the storm was still unclear, he would be active in the periphery of Gyeonggi in the name of chasing down the white thieves, and Liyang would definitely be his main target, once he got Liyang and took control of the Grand Canal, he would have enough "chips" to maneuver between the major forces to make huge profits.

With Cui Junsu's wisdom, of course, he knows the importance of Liyang, so whether it is from the position of the Qinghe Cui clan and the Hebei people, or from the interests of the Holy Lord and Guozuo, he must help Cui Hongsheng take Liyang as quickly as possible and open up the Grand Canal, and must not let any of Yang Xuangan and the King of Qi control Liyang, because that means that the Grand Canal will be cut off indefinitely, and this endangers not only the Second Eastern Crusade, but also the entire northern defense of Xinjiang.

Sure enough, Cui Junsu came up with a balanced strategy.

10,000 large armies were dispatched from the naval division to Liyang to quell the rebellion, but there was a request, without the edict of the Holy Lord, they would never enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the core of the storm in the Eastern Capital, once the naval division was involved, the three commanders of the naval division were swept into the roaring political whirlpool, and the consequences were unimaginable; If the crisis in the eastern capital continues to worsen, the Grand Canal cannot be opened for a long time, and the Second Eastern Crusade can no longer be continued, even if the edict of the Holy Lord is not received, the sailor's crossing time must be delayed, so as not to bring unpredictable disasters to the sailors; The 100,000 troops of the Naval Division Headquarters rushed to the palace to personally present and explain this decision to the Holy Lord on behalf of the three commanders of the Naval Division, whether the Holy Lord agreed or not, the strength of the Naval Division was weakened by this decision, and the Holy Lord and the Central Commander must adjust the strategy of the Water 6 to attack Pyongyang in a timely manner, so as to avoid unnecessary mistakes in the course of the attack.

This policy satisfies the requirements of Laihu'er. It is indeed unrealistic to call the entire naval division to quell the rebellion, but not to suppress the rebellion, not to recapture Liyang and open the Grand Canal, the impact on the future situation in Middle-earth is too great, and we cannot turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye.

This policy also satisfies Zhou Fashang's requirements. The sailor insisted on crossing the sea for the expedition, and although the sailor went to quell the rebellion, he kept a safe distance from the storm in the eastern capital to ensure that he would not be swept in.

"Who's going to counter the rebellion?" Laihu'er asked.

Lai Hu'er must not go, the expedition to cross the sea is the top priority of the sailor, how can he, the supreme commander of the sailor, leave without permission?

Cui Junsu couldn't go either. The water division is the water master of the Jiangzuo people, the Jiangzuo soldiers do not trust Cui Junsu, and Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang do not dare to entrust the lives of 10,000 Jiangzuo soldiers to a Hebei person.

Only Zhou Fashang went. Zhou Fashang is not only the deputy commander of the naval division, but also the right Houwei Mansion responsible for the heavy task of the Qilu region, and according to the law of military rejuvenation (wartime system), the local military governor has the responsibility of the king of Qin and the guardian of the Beijing division, and now there is a rebellion in the eastern capital, he led the army to rescue the Beijing division, which is reasonable and legal, in addition, Zhou Fashang participated in the Qi County rebellion this spring, and has some "intersections" with the king of Qi, and has some understanding of it, which is also conducive to his campaign in Liyang.

"What does Qiao Gong think?" Laihu'er asked with a pleasant face.
