The news of Liyang came from Li Zixiong and Yuan Wuben's urgent report, and Yang Xuangan, in order to win Li Fengyun's trust, even directly sent someone to send the original and the code words, which shows the severe impact of the upheaval in Liyang on the entire situation.

This urgent report was written in the early morning of June 13, and it was sandwiched in the submission of the Hebei local government, delivered to the eastern capital through the guò post station system, and then passed out through Yang Xuangan's internal response, which can be inferred that Yang Xuangan's strength is strong, the deployment is thorough, and there are many secret channels, and the reason why he dared to launch this military coup is indeed extraordinary.

Li Fengyun had already expected that there might be some unexpected changes on King Qi's side, but he didn't expect that King Qi would break up internally, and Dong Chun and Li Shanheng would directly elevate and "hostage" King Qi.

Although when he was in Qi County, Li Fengyun sat with Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi, Dong Chun, and Li Shanheng and agreed on the development strategy of the north face to face, but after all, it was a paper talk, a directional idea, and the specific way to do it had to judge the situation, and take one step at a time, and there would be all kinds of unpredictable changes on the way forward, and these changes could destroy the development strategy of the north at any time.

Now this change is enough to destroy the northbound development strategy. Li Zixiong was decisive in killing, seeing that the King of Qi could not resist the doubts of the imperial unity, seeing that the political forces led by the King of Qi were on the verge of collapse, and seeing that the previous plan was no longer possible, he resolutely abandoned Liyang Cang and fled with the alliance. There is no way, he is already a "thief", he fell from the sky to the ground, he is unwilling, and it is inevitable that he will die and struggle, and this happens to "cheapen" the alliance, so that the alliance is very lucky to find a supreme commander who can temporarily replace Li Fengyun at the moment of life and death, so that the alliance can avoid the danger of collapse and continue to hug a group to go north to fight.

Li Fengyun broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly thanked God for his favor, if it were not for Li Zixiong, a famous veteran, to decisively "make a move", the alliance would definitely fall apart this time, and he would definitely have to pay a heavy price for this impulse to take a risk.

This is a profound lesson丨In fact, there is no need to intervene in the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the power of the alliance cannot change the overall situation, and history is still marching on the inherent trajectory. The real reason why I had to rush to the Eastern Capital was that I was afraid that history had changed at this moment, if the high-speed wheel of history suddenly changed direction because of the appearance of my own roadblock, then the future trend would be completely different as in my memory, and I lost the advantage of predicting the future as a huge "golden finger", is there any point in the alliance going north to fight? Can you still dominate the northern frontier?

The sudden change in Liyang made Li Fengyun feel suffocated, and Li Min and Yuan An were even more frightened, the two of them coincidentally thought of a real crisis, the alliance escaped from danger under the command of Li Zixiong, and it was temporarily freed from the worry of life, but what about the alliance army on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital? Losing the alliance's army in Liyang and the white horse's frontline, can Li Fengyun still lead the alliance's main force to fight his way out of the encirclement and cross the river to the north? In fact, it was no longer possible, the development of the situation exceeded Li Fengyun's expectations, he trapped himself in a dead place, and it was difficult to fly.

The reason why Yang Xuangan sent this letter in a hurry, and even sent it with the code, was also to see Li Fengyun's dilemma, and to see that the pattern of joining forces with Northern Xinjiang to attack the Eastern Capital envisaged for the future was difficult to form, and the future was that he Yang Xuangan would fight against the Holy Lord alone according to Guanzhong, so now the two sides especially need to cooperate, if Li Fengyun is willing to follow Yang Xuangan to kill in Guanzhong together, Yang Xuangan can't ask for it.

"Ming Gong, without further ado, we must leave the battlefield of the Eastern Capital immediately, and we will not be able to do so." Yuan An eagerly built, "The King of Qi has lost control, and under the instigation of Wei Fuhei, ten of them entered Beijing alone; Dong Chun and Li Shanheng are at the end of their rope, once they turn against each other, betray the King of Qi, and give up Liyang, then the big thing will be done, and reinforcements from all walks of life will flock into the eastern capital, Yang Xuangan will not have time to kill in Guanzhong, and the whole army will definitely be wiped out under the eastern capital."

Li Fengyun was expressionless, and turned his eyes to look at Li Min.

Li Min smiled bitterly, "Now that the sailor has not blocked the waterway of the big river, we still have the opportunity to cross the river to the north, take a step back and say, even if the sailor comes quickly and blocks the waterway of the big river, we can still go out of Yique and enter Yuzhou, take advantage of the chaos in the eastern capital, cross the Tongji Canal again, and go north to kill Liyang with a horse gun, so that we can join forces with the alliance headquarters victoriously."

Li Fengyun pondered for a while, and said with a straight face, "Now that we have escaped from the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, it is indeed too late in time, but have you ever thought that once Yang Xuangan's entire army is annihilated under the Eastern Capital, the Holy Lord will be able to free up his hands and mobilize the Weifu Army to encircle and suppress us, and we are very likely to follow in the footsteps of Yang Xuangan, and take a step back and say that even if we escape to Taihang Mountain, it will only be a matter of survival, not to mention resisting the invasion of the Northern Captives." The implication is that it is necessary to adhere to the established strategy, join forces with Yang Xuangan to defeat the Xijing army, help Yang Xuangan enter Guanzhong, let Yang Xuangan fight against the Holy Lord according to Guanzhong, and then win enough time for the alliance to develop northward.

"Duke Ming, the current crisis is the King of Qi, and it is the King of Qi who has lost control of the situation." Yuan An said anxiously, "Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) took the initiative to give up Liyang, which cannot change the fact that the King of Qi is divided internally, and the change in the power of the King of Qi is equivalent to changing the balance of strength between the two sides, we have fallen into passivity, now don't say that we have fallen into the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, why is this not the case with Yang Xuan?"

Li Fengyun shook his hand and asked, "If Yang Xuangan fails to capture the Eastern Capital and fails to take the initiative on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, will the King of Qi still enter Beijing?"

Yuan An and Li Min glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"If the King of Qi does not have the opportunity to enter Beijing in the near future, and as the reinforcements from all walks of life arrive in Liyang one after another, the King of Qi is deeply trapped, and after that, he not only completely loses the possibility of entering Beijing, but also the danger of being caught in the cage by the Holy Lord again, then the King of Qi. [,！ Will you continue to insist on going your own way and fight separately with Dong Chun and Li Shanheng?"

Yuan An and Li Min looked at each other, and after a little thought, they shook their heads again.

"Apparently not." Li Fengyun said, "The king of Qi will return to the established strategy, in order to repair the internal rifts, work together to the outside world, and take the initiative to go north to the border when he has made enough profits, so that the big thing can be decided."

"Duke Ming, from the perspective of the Eastern Capital Battlefield, if Yang Xuangan fails to capture the Eastern Capital, Xijing will not be in a hurry to enter the Eastern Capital Battlefield, after all, the situation of both defeats is the most beneficial for Xijing." Yuan An sighed, "So I insist that the King of Qi still has the possibility of entering Beijing."

"Judging from Yang Xuangan's deployment in the past two days, does Yang Xuangan have the will to rush to capture the Eastern Capital?" Li Fengyun asked.

Yuan An shook his head, this was also where he was confused. Yang Xuan felt that after the Eastern Capital, instead of concentrating his forces to fight the imperial city, he sent troops to attack from all sides, and even went to Xingyang more than 200 miles away.

"In your opinion, if Yang Xuan feels that if he quickly captures the eastern capital, the Xijing army will quickly kill, and on the contrary, the Xijing army will not arrive for a long time, isn't that so?"

Yuan An nodded.

"So have you considered the impact of the situation in the northwest on Xijing's decision-making?" Li Fengyun asked.

Yuan An did not speak. He is deeply trapped in the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, where does he have time to think about the situation in the northwest?

"The interests of the northwest are the fundamental interests of the Guanlong people." Li Fengyun said, "If the Northwest Crisis had not broken out this year, if the Tuyuhun people had not launched a large-scale counteroffensive, if the Western Turks had not marched into the Western Regions on a large scale, and if the fundamental interests of the Guanlong people had not been threatened by Yanzhòng, Xijing would indeed have grabbed the greatest benefits in this storm, but now the Guanlong people are worried about internal and external difficulties, and they are suffering from the enemy on their backs, and they do not want to lose a large area of territory and lose the interests of Western Xinjiang, and they do not want to give up the opportunity to destroy the Eastern Capital for personal gain. This will inevitably take care of one or the other, and even lose control on a certain front. In this unfavorable situation, the Guanlong people must have some choices, some abandonments, and some priorities, but no matter how they choose, how they give up, and how they prioritize, they cannot change the fact that they cannot do their best to deal with the situation in the eastern capital."

Yuan An thoughtfully. Li Min understood, "Yang Xuan felt that if the Eastern Capital was quickly captured, the King of Qi would inevitably enter Beijing to seize the imperial unification, and the situation in the Eastern Capital would then evolve into a great battle for the imperial unification, and it was really a blessing and misfortune to join the imperial war, and in the absence of the Holy Lord on the battlefield, all parties would be cautious and cautious, so the Xijing army would inevitably slow down the pace of entering Beijing; On the contrary, if Yang Xuangan is unable to take the Eastern Capital for a long time, and the situation in the Eastern Capital is always within the scope of the military coup, the blow of this storm to the Holy Lord and the reformers will not reach the Cheng dù of the destruction of the Holy Lord, and the conservative forces in Guanzhong will inevitably be burdened by Yang Xuangan in the end because of the hindrance of the Xijing army from rushing to the aid of the Eastern Capital in time, and eventually suffer from it, and the gains outweigh the losses, so the Xijing army might as well enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital as soon as possible, one will use this storm to destroy the Eastern Capital, and the other will loot and receive Yang Xuangan's political power, so as to strengthen the conservative forces. Profit from it."

Yuan An immediately raised a question, "Isn't Xijing afraid that Yang Xuangan will defeat them and take advantage of the situation to enter the Guanzhong?" After all, the hidden danger of Yuan Hongsi has not been solved until now, and Yang Xuangan's strength is no worse than them."

Li Min came from a family in the northwest and had a clear understanding of the psychology of the Guanlong people, and he answered Yuan An's question with one sentence, "On the territory of the Guanlong people, one is under control." This is the self-confidence of Guanlong people, Yang Xuangan even if he enters Guanzhong, there is no place to stand.

"In this way, if you besiege but not attack, the Xijing army will come faster?" Yuan An is still skeptical.

"Judging from Yang Xuangan's deployment, this inference is valid." Li Fengyun frowned and said, "Although the development of the shape is unpredictable, since Yang Xuangan has such confidence, let's believe it, after all, as long as the King of Qi does not enter the capital, as long as he controls Liyang, we still have a glimmer of life."

On June 15, Xijing, acting Wang Yang Yu and Xijing left guard Wen Sheng received an emergency from the eastern capital.

Pei Hongce's whole army was annihilated in Bai Sima Ban, and Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiao Guard, had retreated to the Huangdao Canal, and it was only an overnight affair that the eastern capital fell into the encirclement of Yang Xuangan.

Wei Wensheng immediately implored Yang Yu, the acting king, and immediately ordered Wei Fu to immediately send troops to the eastern capital.

Shi Weijie, the acting head of the royal palace, asked quietly, "Five thousand guards stay in Xijing, can Xingshi Gong ensure the safety of Xijing?"

Wei Wensheng's face suddenly became gloomy.
