Yang Xuangan did not wait for Wei Wensheng's messenger, but waited for an urgent report from his uncle Yang Shen, the Marquis of Yi'an.

On the 29th, Zhou Fashang began to attack Luokou, threatening the Tiger Prison, and joined forces with Dong Chun, who was left behind in Pengcheng, and Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang, to form an encirclement of the rebels in Xingyang. At the same time, Wu Benlang of the Navy Division will lead the army to attack Luokoucang in the future, once Luokoucang falls, the two battlefields of Dongdu and Xingyang are divided and surrounded, and Han Shige and Gu Jue on the Xingyang battlefield will be wiped out.

Therefore, Yang Shen proposed to Yang Xuangan to build a plan, decisively abandon the Xingyang battlefield, and urgently withdraw Han Shige and Gu Jue, which can not only effectively block Zhou Fashang in Luokoucang, but also increase the strength of the Eastern Capital battlefield and stabilize the shape of the Eastern Capital, and at the same time give Yang Xuangan strong support for the decisive battle on the front line of Mianchi.

Yang Xuan felt that he would never give up.

Hu Shitan supported Yang Shen's construction, the main role of the current Dongdu battlefield and Xingyang battlefield is to contain the opponent and help the army enter the pass west at the fastest speed, and now the decisive battle of Michi is about to end, and then the army will stride west into Guanzhong, as long as the army breaks through Tongguan, the Dongdu battlefield and the Xingyang battlefield will be abandoned, and from the current shape shì to speculate, the army will soon be able to break through Tongguan, at most ten days and half a month, in this case, it is also advisable to take the initiative to give up the Xingyang battlefield now, First, it can avoid the two armies of Han Shige and Gu Jue on the Xingyang battlefield from being divided and surrounded by Zhou Fashang and other Weifu reinforcements, and the second is that after Han Shige and Gu Jue withdrew to the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital greatly increased its strength, which not only ensured its own safety, but also greatly enhanced the containment of the Eastern Capital battlefield, which did more advantages than disadvantages for the entire form.

Li Mi disagreed. He insisted that Zhou Fashang wanted to "benefit from the fisherman", and he wanted to watch the cannibalism of the Guanlong people coldly, and the sailors would not enter the Eastern Capital battlefield too early, but once Han Shige and Gu Jue gave up the Xingyang battlefield and withdrew to the Eastern Capital, Zhou Fashang would have no reason to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after the Tongji Canal was unblocked, the transportation of the entire North-South Grand Canal would be restored, and there would be no reason for Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Peng Cheng to stay behind Dong Chun, so that all the reinforcements from all walks of life poured into the Eastern Capital battlefield, and the Eastern Capital Battlefield would definitely not be able to hold at that time. And what is even stricter is that the opponent caught up in the shortest possible time, if Yang Xuangan failed to successfully break through the Tong Pass in such a short time, wouldn't the army be surrounded by regiments and difficult to fly?

"According to your deduction, Han Shige and Gu Jue are very likely to be buried in Xingyang." Hu Shitan questioned.

"Of course." Li Mi said without hesitation, "The possibility of them breaking out of the siege is very small, but we must take this risk." I only ask you, if because Han Shige and Gu Jue evacuated Xingyang prematurely, and the sailors of Zhou Fashang, Dong Chun's Xuzhou army and Xun Wang Yang Qing's Xingyang army were killed prematurely under the eastern capital, and Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling had to quickly cross the river and enter the Eastern Capital battlefield, and Yang Nan, the king of Qi, had to quickly follow up and enter the Eastern Capital battlefield when the overall situation had been decided, so that the whole shape of the guide was one-sided, do we have the ability and confidence to reverse the crisis? ”

Yang Xuangan's face was expressionless. Hu Shitan opened his mouth and did not dare to insist on his opinion.

Li Mi's analysis is very correct, the use of containment on the Xingyang battlefield seems to be limited, but in fact, it affects the whole body, and the key lies in Zhou Fashang. Zhou Fashang moved, the sailor was the first to enter the Eastern Capital, and the Jiangzuo man, who was loyal to the Holy Lord, turned the tide, so what about the other reinforcements? There is no choice at all, only to follow up quickly, otherwise it will be liquidated by the government in the future. In this way, reinforcements from all walks of life flocked into the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue in the imperial city, just joined forces with the inside and outside, and attacked inside and outside. Even if Yang Shen, Wang Zhongbo and others on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital resisted, they suffered heavy losses, and after they suffered heavy losses, could they still withdraw safely? Taking a step back, even if he withdraws and joins Yang Xuangan, he has broken through Tongguan and entered Guanzhong, but how much strength does Yang Xuangan still have? Can you still capture Xijing and sweep Guanlong?

Yang Xuangan didn't dare to take risks, he had already planted a big heel on the battlefield of Michi, Yang Xuanting and five or six thousand soldiers were still unknown in life and death, if he planted a big heel on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the future would be very bleak. In fact, no matter whether Li Mi's analysis is correct or not, and whether Zhou Fashang is "voluntarily" subject to the Xingyang battlefield, Yang Xuangan cannot take the initiative to give up the Xingyang battlefield, nor can he order them to evacuate quickly because he wants to ensure the safety of the two armies of Han Shige and Gu Jue. Their sacrifice must be valuable, even if Li Mi's analysis is wrong, Zhou Fashang actively attacked the Eastern Capital, but Han Shige and Gu Jue's containment on the Xingyang battlefield will definitely be able to delay the attack speed of the water division, which will win valuable time for the tens of thousands of troops on the Eastern Capital battlefield to retreat, and for Yang Xuangan to break through Tongguan and enter the pass.

There is another key reason, Li Mi didn't say it, Hu Shitan didn't say it, but Yang Xuangan knew it, that is, Li Fengyun and the alliance army. Judging from the current battle situation, because Yang Xuangan has no strength or conditions to eat Li Fengyun because of the sudden change in the battle situation, and Li Fengyun cannot give Yang Xuangan any chance to "start", so Li Fengyun will definitely quickly evacuate the Mianchi battlefield, quickly evacuate the battlefield of the eastern capital, and go straight to Xingyang. On the contrary, if Yang Xuangan has given up the Xingyang battlefield, and Han Shige and Gu Jue have quickly evacuated, will Li Fengyun still choose to go east to Xingyang and fight to the death with Zhou Fashang? Obviously not, he saw that the road to Xingyang in the east had been cut off, so he would inevitably choose to go south to Yuzhou. This is not the slightest loss for Li Fengyun, he is originally a rogue, running wherever he goes, but for Yang Xuangan, he has lost a great opportunity to use Li Fengyun to block Zhou Fashang, to strengthen the containment of the Xingyang battlefield, to help him win more precious time.

Hu Shi refused to mention Li Fengyun because he still had the idea of "eating" Li Fengyun, after all, there was no suspense about the victory of this decisive battle, and the Xijing army was already in the bag, Yang Xuangan only needed to take in the prisoners, the losses would be made up, and the strength would not decrease but increase, and then Yang Xuan felt the power of victory, coupled with the natural danger of Hangu Pass, plus tens of thousands of troops in the eastern capital, it was enough to surround Li Fengyun and the alliance army, even if Li Fengyun did not surrender at that time, But how can his thieves resist the threat of death and the temptation of high officials? Of course, the risk is also very large, and one misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, so Hu Shitan did not dare to speak at will, so as not to affect Yang Xuangan's decision-making.

Li Mi never mentioned Li Fengyun, because he knew that since Yang Xuangan had already killed Li Fengyun, of course he would not give up lightly, and Hu Shitan, Yang Jishan and others also had the same idea, plus the situation was indeed very unfavorable to Li Fengyun, so he could only persuade Yang Xuangan tactfully, he must be cautious, cooperation is beneficial to both sides, the decisive battle of Mianchi is like this, and the same is true of the Xingyang battlefield after that, why is it too anxious to fry each other?

At midnight, there was a dead silence on the front line of Xiaoxin'an City, and the soldiers on both sides seemed to be too tired to fall asleep, except for the bonfire swaying in the wind and the flickering fire reflected in the night sky, the rest were drowned in the boundless darkness.

Yang Xuan felt hopeful, hoping that the Xijing army would send a negotiation envoy to prove that Yang Xuanting was still alive, but as time passed, he became more and more afraid, more and more sad and angry, and finally, he was desperate and had to face the reality, Yang Xuanting died, and the whole army was wiped out, and this means that tomorrow's battle will be very tragic, he wants to take revenge, he wants to kill Wei Wensheng, he wants to kill Ming Ya, Wei Jin, Du Yan and all the generals of the Xijing army, their hands are stained with Yang's blood, He will take their heads as a sacrifice to his father and his brothers.

Since it was a tragic battle, and Yang Xuangan himself was also scarred after this battle, then Yang Xuangan must make a choice, he must continue to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun, and he must sacrifice the lives of Han Shige, Gu Jue and more than 10,000 soldiers to hold on to the Xingyang battlefield, otherwise he will eat Wei Wensheng and then "merge" with Li Fengyun, and the result may be a disaster.

Yang Xuangan made a decisive decision, and told Yang Shen, the Marquis of Yi'an, that Han Shige and Gu Jue must stick to the Xingyang battlefield, and Yang Shen must give them support, in order to strengthen Yang Shen's confidence, he told the truth the news that Li Fengyun was about to rush to the Xingyang battlefield. As long as Li Fengyun enters the Xingyang battlefield and joins forces with Han Shige and Gu Jue, he will definitely be able to block and delay Zhou Fashang from entering the Eastern Capital Battlefield, which is obviously conducive to Yang Shen holding the Eastern Capital Battlefield.

Yang Xuangan was anxious to write to Han Shige and Gu Jue, first told him that the decisive battle of Michi was nearing the end, and the road to the west was about to open, but before the main force did not break through Tongguan, it was necessary to stick to the battlefield of the eastern capital, and if you wanted to rely on the battlefield of the eastern capital to drag the reinforcements from all directions, you must stick to the Xingyang battlefield. As for the Liyang battlefield, since the water division blocked the waterway of the big river, Yang Xuangan no longer had any hope and had completely given up. Then he talked about Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun wanted to "escape" from the battlefield of the Eastern Capital through Xingyang, which not only helped Han Shige and Gu Jue to stick to the Xingyang battlefield, but also helped Han Shige and Gu Jue to evacuate the Xingyang battlefield after completing their mission.

Yang Xuangan did not ask Han Shige and Gu Jue to withdraw to the Eastern Capital in the last part of the order, which is worth considering.

Hu Shitan personally drafted this order, and after writing it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he understood what Yang Xuangan meant, and also understood Yang Xuangan's bitterness, but it was really a shame to bow to Li Fengyun, a "thief".
