On the first day of June, the capital of Qi County.

In the past two days, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, received important news from Dongdu, Xijing, Henan, Hebei, Liaodong Xinggong and even Donglai Sailors from a number of secret or open channels, among which Yang Lan and Wei Fusi and others were very surprised that Li Fengyun actually captured the Yique Pass and broke through the impregnable Gyeonggi defense line, which is enough to show that the situation in the eastern capital is turbulent and full of conspiracy, if you don't know anything about the secrets hidden in the dark, you really can't see the shape in front of you, and you can't guess the future direction.

The news from the Liaodong Palace confirmed Li Fengyun's prediction, and the Holy Lord secretly issued an edict to arrest Li Zixiong, the general of the Left Imperial Guard, and depose Honghua to stay behind Yuan Honghe, which shows that the mutiny conspiracy of the radical conservative forces has been exposed, and the mutineers such as Yang Xuangan and others in Liyang were forced to mutiny in advance due to the urgency of the situation, but what made Yang Lan, Wei Fusi and others very puzzled was that the Holy Lord's attack on Liaodong City was blocked, and the main army leading the expedition to Pyongyang had to temporarily stop at Yalu Water. Why did the entire crusade suddenly "attack" the radical conservative forces under the unfavorable circumstances of being severely affected by the severe influence of the Eastern Crusade, forcing them to take risks and mutiny, or even to mutiny in advance?

After the mutiny, the Second Eastern Crusade will inevitably be suspended, so that the Second Eastern Crusade will fall short, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will suffer another heavy blow in politics, which is obviously not in line with the interests of the Holy Lord and the Central Crusade. According to the previous deduction, even if the Holy Lord deliberately dug a big "hole" for the radical conservative forces in the Eastern Capital, the goal of the Holy Lord should be to kill two birds with one stone, which is to win the victory of the Second Eastern Crusade and to deal a devastating blow to the radical conservative forces, and from this goal, the Holy Lord should try his best to "stabilize" the radical conservative forces in the country, so that they can mutiny again when the victory of the six major armies of the expedition is in sight under the city of Pyongyang, so that the Holy Lord can win the space and time needed to complete the plan of killing two birds with one stone. However, the reality in front of us is that the Holy Lord "moved" against the radical conservative forces in advance and detonated this mutiny in advance, why is this?

Because the crisis in the northwest was rapidly expanding and there was a danger of getting out of control, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee did not dare or be able to fight on three fronts at home and abroad at the same time, so they made a decisive decision to abandon the Second Eastern Crusade and put all the blame for the defeat of the Second Eastern Crusade on the radical conservative forces who conspired to mutiny, so as to save the huge political losses suffered by the defeat of the Second Eastern Crusade.

Or maybe it was due to other reasons, such as problems within the palace, where the top military secrets were leaked by members of the radical conservative forces hidden in the central core and betrayed to the Goguryeo, and the battle could not be fought; Or there were problems within the expeditionary force, such as some Weifu officers with a radical and conservative stance who were passive and slack, and even in order to cooperate with the Eastern Capital Mutiny, they conspired to mutiny, which had seriously threatened the safety of the Holy Lord, the center, and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary soldiers, and they had no choice but to stop the expedition.

Yang Lan and Wei Fusi, Dong Chun, Li Shanheng and others repeatedly discussed and deduced, but never dared to draw conclusions, because so far, although Li Fengyun has entered Gyeonggi, with the "tacit understanding" of some ill-intentioned people in the eastern capital, he has promoted the deterioration of the situation in the eastern capital, but Xijing has not made any statement on the situation in the eastern capital so far, and there is no clear sign that the Liyang side will immediately raise troops, and the Liaodong Xinggong side has not further expanded the blow to the radical conservative forces, and the Donglai sailors are making the final preparations for the sea crossing expedition. Lai Hu'er and the other commanders of the Sailors did not hear the slightest rumor about the possible suspension of the Eastern Crusade, all of which indicated that even if the storm in the Eastern Capital broke out in advance, the Holy Lord might not necessarily stop the pace of the Second Eastern Crusade.

"If the Holy Lord is determined to capture Pyongyang in order to win the victory of the Second Eastern Crusade, then we must not rush into Henan now, lest the situation in the Eastern Capital deteriorate too quickly, so that the Holy Lord will make a wrong judgment and misunderstand that you have formed an alliance with the rebels to seize the imperial unity, and then force the Holy Lord to suspend the Eastern Crusade, and go back to the division to quell the rebellion, and lead the Eastern Crusade to fall short, so that the Great King will become the target of everyone, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Dong Chun knew the thoughts of the King of Qi, especially after learning that Li Fengyun had captured Yique, the mood of the King of Qi to return to the Eastern Capital became more urgent, although nominally for fear of missing the opportunity, but in fact he still couldn't give up his strong possessiveness of the imperial system, and he still didn't want to miss the slightest opportunity to seize the imperial system, but this kind of thinking was too dangerous, and this kind of ** would cause a catastrophe once it got out of control, so Dong Chun carefully weighed the pros and cons, or resolutely admonished, hoping that the King of Qi could temporarily give up the ** of the imperial system, Put all your thoughts on survival, on the bloody battle with the Beiyu to protect the family and defend the country, only the selfless and frank in the bottom of the heart, in the future in the fierce turmoil, always maintain a clear mind and a clear goal, otherwise you will be lost in the ** and killing and difficult to extricate yourself.

"Judging from the exhibitions in the past period, most of the predictions made by Bai are accurate." As soon as the King of Qi heard it, he knew Dong Chun's exhortation, and he was very dissatisfied, but his face was still very calm and indifferent, "Bai once said that Yang Xuangan wanted to raise troops in advance in Liyang, and what Bai did on the battlefield in the Central Plains in the past period of time revolved around this goal, and at present, Bai is under the banner of Han Xiangguo, pretending to be a rebel army in Song and Henan, and has successfully captured Yique and entered Gyeonggi, and the main force of its alliance has also swept Henan, and the army is near the big river, directly threatening the safety of Liyangcang and Yongji Canal, in this case, The eastern capital was in a hurry and had no time to take care of itself, and Yang Xuangan had the tacit cooperation of the alliance army, so he could calmly gather men and horses, quietly cross the river and enter Gyeonggi, and hit the eastern capital by surprise. ”

So Gu now believes in Bai's prediction, Yang Xuangan not only wants to raise troops in advance, but also will raise troops soon, in early June, and then echo with Bai's north and south, the east and west are attacked, and the fall of the eastern capital has become inevitable. Once the Eastern Capital falls, the shape will be very beneficial to Yang Xuangan, and it will be until that moment that we will react late, and then we will rescue the Eastern Capital in a panic, what is the point? And how much profit can be made from it? ”

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng glanced at each other, exchanged a tacit understanding look with each other, and then silence was gold, not a word.

Dong Chun saw that Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng did not clearly support him, and a trace of gloom suddenly passed through his heart. King Qi has been "betrayed" by the Guanlong people once, although Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, as well as Li Hun, the prince of the country who is far away in the eastern capital, and himself, because of the brand of the King of Qi, he had to continue to support the King of Qi, and sacrificed his life to go to the dark with the King of Qi, but the personal interests are really insignificant compared with the interests of the family and the overall interests of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, who dares to guarantee that at the critical moment, Wei Fusi, Li Hun and Li Shanheng's uncle and nephew will not "betray" the King of Qi?

"Does the king remember...... Dong Chun said about the king in his mouth, but his eyes were on Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, and his eyes were full of meaning, "Bai Zeng said that after the outbreak of the mutiny in the Eastern Capital, he came to protect the children and overrode the public opinion, and with the head of Xiang Shangshang as a guarantee, he resolutely gave up the plan of crossing the sea expedition, and did his best to lead the sailors to the Eastern Capital to quell the rebellion. And the reason why Bai made this prediction is that the deep meaning is very clear, that is, King Jianyì rushed to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion together with Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, and consciously and voluntarily let the Holy Lord's trust and reliance on Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang monitor the King and restrain the King, so as to prove the King's own innocence, and prove the King's absolute loyalty to the Holy Lord and the country, so as to reduce the Holy Lord's suspicion and suspicion of the King, and to put an end to the Holy Lord's killing of the King. In this way, the king will occupy a certain advantage and a large amount of initiative in the future game of the eastern capital, and can maximize his interests and win better conditions and opportunities. ”

King Qi interpreted some kind of crisis from Dong Chun's meaningful eyes, and this sense of crisis was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which instantly cooled his boiling blood and his out-of-control reason, and then accepted Dong Chun's solemn admonition to him without hesitation.

At the moment of life and death, almost all the most trusted people around him betrayed him, if it were not for Bai Li Fengyun's appearance and spared no effort to "help" him escape from the cage of the Eastern Capital, he almost lost the opportunity to turn over, almost doomed to despair and death. Now although he has escaped from the cage, he is still within the reach of the Holy Lord and his political enemies, and he is still a hunting ground that can be slaughtered and feared all day long, so he must seize this opportunity, he can only succeed and not fail, if he fails, he will be completely finished, succeeded, go to the northern frontier, the dragon enters the sea, the tiger releases the Nanshan, and everything is possible in the future

However, his dignity as a prince, the pride of the former heir to the first emperor, and the indelible and unforgettable ** that he was born with and flowing in his bones, but he never gave up, couldn't see through, and couldn't give in.

"What if the opportunity is missed?" King Qi looked at Dong Chun and asked in a fierce voice, "What if Bai's prediction is wrong, and Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang crossed the sea on an expedition and did not rush to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion?" If Xijing made a decisive move, tens of thousands of troops directly killed the eastern capital, the eastern capital fell into a melee, and the blood flowed like a river, but Lone was stranded in Qilu because of looking forward to the future, and gave the holy lord a charge of turning a blind eye and ill intentions, what should I do? ”

Dong Chun was immediately overjoyed, knowing that the King of Qi was persuaded by himself and no longer insisted on returning to the Eastern Capital immediately, so he immediately offered a plan.

After Bai fled to the Central Plains, Li Min, the Taishou of Lu County, led the army to chase and kill Bai, but the whole army was wiped out in Bianshui, and then the king died down and did not continue to send troops to chase and kill, so that the Tongji Canal was frequently in danger, and Henan was in dire straits. Now the original shape shì is even more unbearable, Bai has not only endangered the safety of Liyangcang and Yongji Canal, but also joined forces with the Songzhou thief Han Xiangguo to kill into Gyeonggi, endangering the safety of the eastern capital, if the holy lord is investigated in the future, the king will not be able to escape the blame, and the crime of rebellion is not conducive to suppressing the thieves will inevitably be confirmed, so at this moment, the king should take action, and should send an army of thieves to Henan, which is the closest to Qilu, to stabilize the situation in Henan and ensure the safety of Tongji Canal. ”

King Qi comprehended. Dong Chun's meaning is very simple, the king of Qi continued to stay in Qi County, and the army under the account of the king of Qi was divided into two, part of it continued to stay with the king of Qi, and part of it rushed to Henan in the name of suppressing thieves, and the troops came to Gyeonggi, ready to enter the eastern capital at any time, so that they could kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone, and be foolproof.

King Qi thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng to ask for their opinions. Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng agreed in unison.

"In Qing's opinion, how many mansions do you need to go to Henan to suppress thieves? Who is a general? ”

Dong Chun obviously had an answer, and said without thinking, "Bai Zeng troubled Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou Eagle Yang was unfavorable in the battle, and suffered heavy losses, this is the shame of the Wei Mansion, Pengcheng Left-behind Mansion and Xuzhou Eagle Yang, this revenge is not avenged, a certain Weifu general, Pengcheng left behind to lose face, so if the king goes to Henan to suppress the thief, a certain Mao recommended himself, took the initiative to ask Ying, and was willing to lead the army to choose the front and go west to kill the thief." ”

King Qi was moved, this is Dong Chun's vote. Dong Chun is left behind in Pengcheng, responsible for Xuzhou's military and political affairs, but "not doing business", helping the King of Qi to suppress thieves in Qilu in the early stage, and now he wants to help the King of Qi to go to Henan to suppress thieves, not eating the food of the King of Qi, but helping the King of Qi to live, how can the Holy Lord of "feeding" Dong Chun be embarrassed?

Although Dong Chun's comeback this time is all the power of King Qi, it is the political interests won by King Qi and the Eastern Capital, it stands to reason that Dong Chun should repay his kindness and should do his best to help King Qi, but everything has a degree, and if he does it, he will kill himself. Dong Chun helped the King of Qi to suppress thieves in Qilu before, and it did not directly affect the political situation in the Eastern Capital, and it was still conducive to the sailor's expedition across the sea, and it was conducive to the Second Eastern Crusade, and the Holy Lord and the Center could bear it, but this time he went to Henan to suppress the thieves, and the impact was diametrically opposite, the Holy Lord and the Center couldn't bear it, and it was impossible to endure it, and they would definitely be punished according to law afterwards, and Dong Chun would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, so Dong Chun sacrificed his life for King Qi this time, and it was a real vote.

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng were quite surprised, neither of them expected Dong Chun to make such a decisive move at a critical moment, this is purely a move of life and death, either you die or I die, what does this mean? It shows that Dong Chun is very pessimistic about the future, and he has no expectations for King Qi, although Bai's predictions are very good, but after all, it is a prediction, it is a flower in the moon mirror in the water, it takes hard work, and more importantly, it is opportunity, it is luck, it is indispensable, it is possible to lose all of it without a condition, and if you lose King Qi, there is no possibility of turning over, and the best ending is a lifelong confinement in disguise, maybe he will suddenly die, and the people who follow him are all dead without exception, a large number of people have died before, and a large number of people have fallen, The survivors were dying and struggling, causing so much trouble to the Holy Lord, how could the Holy Lord give them another way to live? Dong Chun thinks so, either you die or I live, and I let it out.

Dong Chun's death reciprocated, Dong Chun's survival in the dead gave King Qi, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng a great shock, a great psychological impact, although it is not to the death of the rabbit and the fox is sad, but sympathy and empathy are inevitable, now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, life and death, honor and disgrace, if you don't work together, and then calculate each other or even betray and defect, the final result will definitely be a failure, and even lose your head.

"Lone to Qing Liufu Yingyang, plus your Xuzhou Zhuyingyang, about 10,000 horses, westward to Henan to suppress thieves." King Qi made a resolute decision, "Henan is in turmoil and military affairs, and the secretary is authorized to deal with it on the spot, and there is no need to ask for instructions, so as not to delay the opportunity." ”

Dong Chun bowed down to receive the order.

King Qi turned his eyes to Li Shanheng, "Li Qing led the Ten Mansion Yingyang to enter Jibei County along the west of Jishui, and Chen Bing was on the front line of Lucheng and Dong'e, waiting for an opportunity to move. ”

Li Shanheng promised loudly.

King Qi waved his hand at Wei Fusi, "Pay close attention to Liyang and Donglai Shui Shi in Hebei, but we still have to ask the Cui family for help in this matter, and I also ask Qing to discuss it with An Pinggong (Li Baiyao)." ”

Wei Fusi arched his hand and asked, "King, did you inform An Pinggong of today's decision?" ”

King Qi thought for a moment and nodded resolutely, "Later, please ask An Pinggong to come over, and Lone will personally sue him." ”
