On the morning of the fourth day of the new year, Li Fengyun commanded the alliance army to pass through the Heishi Pass and advance towards Luokoucang.

Now it is Yang Xuanzong of Huainan who is in charge of Luokoucang. Yang Xuanzong is Yang Xuangan's younger brother, the general of the Weifu Tiger Benlang, who went to the Liaodong battlefield with the Holy Lord on the Eastern Expedition at the beginning of the year. Yang Xuangan summoned him to secretly return before launching a mutiny, and Yang Xuanzong fled Liaodong with his younger brother Yang Wanshi. When the two brothers fled to Gaoyang, an important town in Hebei, Yang Xuangan's rebellion had spread at the top level, and Xu Hua, the palace supervisor of Gaoyang Palace, decisively took a decisive shot, but the news leaked, and the Yang brothers fled by seizing the road, and after a fight, Yang Wanshi fell and was captured, and Yang Xuanzong escaped. When Yang Xuanzong arrived in the eastern capital, Yang Xuangan was leading his army west to Mianchi to fight a decisive battle with Wei Wensheng. Yang Xuanzong actively asked for battle, but Yang Xuangan considered that he was physically and mentally exhausted and needed to rest, so he asked him to stay on the battlefield in the Eastern Capital to assist his uncle Yang Shen.

A few days ago, Zhou Fashang led the sailors to come, the tiger prison and Luokoucang were attacked at the same time, and the shape deteriorated suddenly, Yang Shen immediately transferred troops from the front line of Yique to support Luokoucang, and appointed Yang Xuanzong to be fully responsible for the garrison on the eastern front, and did his best to hold Luokoucang, and stopped Zhou Fashang at any cost.

At this moment, Yang Xuanzong already knew the result of the decisive battle in Michi, and the death of his brother Yang Xuanting made him sad and indignant, and his hatred for Wei Wensheng was beyond limit, and he also hated Li Fengyun. In his opinion, Li Fengyun and the alliance army should be loyal to Yang Xuangan, bow down to his orders, and resolutely follow Yang Xuangan to fight into the pass, otherwise it will be rebellion and outright betrayal. Yang Xuanzong's attitude may be because he doesn't understand the relationship between Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun, or maybe because of his noble status, in short, he has a murderous intention, he wants to borrow Zhou Fashang's hand to kill Li Fengyun and destroy the alliance army, so that he can not only benefit from the fisherman, but also vent the hatred in his heart.

Last night Li Fengyun arrived at the Black Stone Pass, which was close to Luokoucang, Yang Xuanzong thought that Li Fengyun should come to see him, he should take the initiative to ask about the battle situation, and take the initiative to ask Ying to counterattack the sailors, this is the most basic etiquette, and it is also the only way for the alliance army to enter Xingyang, so it is reasonable for Li Fengyun to "grovel" in order to win his help and support, but to his surprise, Li Fengyun ignored him at all, not even a believer, not even a message, there is no Yang Xuanzong in his eyes at all, as if he was nothing, Treat him as air.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, even if Yang Xuan is furious, a thief dares to be so rampant? Who do you think you are? A few months ago, before Yang Xuangan did not launch a mutiny, the Yang family was powerful and high, and Li Fengyun was an ant-like being, and now because the Yang family wants to plot the world, he has to lower his posture to win people's hearts, but even so, the dignity of the Yang family cannot be desecrated, especially not allowing a lowly thief who betrayed the Yang family to openly insult himself.

However, the high-level secrets are only known to Yang Xuanzong, and his subordinates know nothing, after all, Li Fengyun is playing the banner of Han Xiangguo, and this trip to Xingyang is also in the name of supporting Han Shige, everyone belongs to the same camp, they are all brothers, if Yang Xuanzong openly kills Li Fengyun, he will definitely fall into the notoriety of fratricidal brotherhood, and the blow to the morale of the army is too great, and what is even stricter is that this move Yan Zhan destroyed Yang Xuangan's overall plan and damaged the interests of the mutiny alliance, which is equivalent to helping the opponent in disguise. So Yang Xuanzong could only borrow a knife to kill people.

The impact of Yang Xuanzong and Li Fengyun's mutual "hostility" on the battle situation is obvious. Of course, the generals of the alliance army knew why Li Fengyun was "hostile" to Yang Xuanzong, and the contradictions between the two sides broke out in the final stage of the decisive battle of Michi, and then Li Fengyun decisively withdrew from the Michi battlefield, and after receiving Wei Fusi's alarm under the eastern capital, he resolutely withdrew again. How could it be possible to give Yang Xuanzong face, and to indulge in hypocrisy, hypocrisy and grievances with Yang Xuan? But Yang Xuanzong's subordinates were closed to news, and they didn't know Li Fengyun's existence, let alone that Li Fengyun and Yang Xuangan had torn their faces, what they saw was that Han Xiangguo "ignored" Yang Xuanzong, and Yang Xuanzong had a strong hostility towards Han Xiangguo, which was wrong, this was going to turn against each other.

Although Yang Xuanzong's subordinates couldn't figure out the "inside story", they were the same as Yang Xuanzong, despising Han Xiangguo and looking down on this rebel army, a group of rabble, insignificant, however, when they saw with their own eyes that approaching Luokoucang was a division of a hundred battles with bright armor, excellent weapons, morale like a rainbow, and a murderous spirit, they were shocked, the previous disdain and disdain disappeared under the strong visual impact, they couldn't believe that the strength of the Song Yu Righteous Army had skyrocketed to such an incredible level in a short period of time, They suddenly realize that the high-level "insider" is far more complicated than they thought.

Yang Xuanzong was also stunned. Strength determines a qiē, Li Fengyun's strength is so strong, Yang Xuangan is of course helpless, as for Yang Xuanzong's pitiful self-esteem and dirty little calculations, in front of Li Fengyun's absolute strength, he is just smiling and generous, and taking humiliation on himself. Yang Xuan was secretly frightened, he was also arrogant, and he wanted to make him unruly! The tiger bowed down under his "pomegranate skirt", and even wanted to eat each other in one bite, which was ridiculous.

Yang Xuanzong immediately ordered to close the city gate tightly and not let Li Fengyun enter Cangcheng, so as not to have an accident. There is no need to remind this point, the soldiers in Cangcheng have already thought of it, and they are all on guard, as if they are facing a great enemy.

Now the reputation of Han Xiangguo and Song Yu's righteous army is very bad, the reason is that the righteous army burned and plundered after capturing Nanguo, this news then spread, Yan zhòng "stimulated" the mutinous soldiers, Jinshan Yinshan is in front of him, but he was robbed by a group of thieves, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined, of course, he scolded, and some generals even slandered Yang Xuangan, and framed Han Xiangguo Yan zhòng to ruin the reputation of the Yue Gong and the mutinous alliance. Fortunately, Li Fengyun foresaw that the "action" was fast, and without waiting for Yang Xuangan to react, he asked Han Xiangguo and Lu Xingxing to go to Xingyang with the loot, otherwise the "big fat meat" in the mouth would have to be snatched for Yang Xuangan.

Han Xiangguo is notorious, and the Song Yu righteous army has strong strength, and the Luokou Cang defenders can think of the consequences of putting them into Cangcheng with their toes, but closing the city gate and not giving them food and grass to replenish is tantamount to turning against each other, which will anger Han Xiangguo. Luokoucang fell, Zhou Fashang's sailors were closer to the eastern capital, the supply of grain and grass for the mutinous alliance army would quickly fall into trouble, and the eastern capital would become more and more critical, on the contrary, when Zhou Fashang did his best to kill the eastern capital, Xingyang-shaped shì was alleviated, and Han Xiangguo could quickly enter the Xingyang battlefield, and he could also quickly kill the Tianqian defense line and escape, so that the containment of the Xingyang battlefield would no longer exist, which would further worsen the situation in the eastern capital.

Yang Xuanzong couldn't afford the responsibility for the fall of Luokoucang, and after weighing it repeatedly, he could only lower his arrogant head, lower his posture, and quickly send his cronies and subordinates to urgently go out of the city to visit Li Fengyun, take the initiative to inform Li Fengyun of the battle situation in Luokoucang, take the initiative to consult Li Fengyun's attack opinion, and put himself and Luokoucang in the position of "cooperation" and "auxiliary", trying to conceal his true intentions, pushing Li Fengyun and the alliance army to the forefront at a faster speed, so that Li Fengyun and Zhou Fashang could compete and lose both.

Where did Yang Xuanzong's little trick hide from Li Fengyun? But Li Fengyun was disdainful, and he didn't want to fight for will. At present, his primary goal is to enter Xingyang, and he will not hesitate to pay a price for this, even if he loses both with Zhou Fashang, but the question is, is Zhou Fashang willing to fight with him with both defeats? Zhou Fashang's target was Yang Xuangan, a mutiny alliance, and a conservative force dominated by the Guanlong people, not an insignificant thief himself, so Li Fengyun was sure that as long as he put on a desperate posture on the Luokoucang battlefield, Zhou Fashang would inevitably retreat.

"Give a certain army of 50,000 half a month's food and grass weapons." Li Fengyun put forward the conditions, "There are more than 30,000 elite soldiers, and the new Yigong (Han Shige) who is fighting in the tiger prison has more than 10,000 troops. After arriving in Xingyang, he had to stick to Xingyang with Xinyigong, but the sailor Chen Bingluokou could cut off the connection between the tiger prison and Cangcheng at any time, so when he went to Xingyang, he must bring enough grain and grass to prevent accidents. ”

The messenger in Tsing Yi looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and boldly asked, "When will the general finish moving?" ”

Li Fengyun needed a huge amount of grain, grass and weapons, and a large number of manpower and tools for transportation, and Luokoucang was obviously unable to provide such transportation conditions, and Li Fengyun's army could not complete this important task in a limited time. Moderate requirements can be met, but they can't be opened up and ask for a sky-high price, which is meaningless.

Li Fengyun knew that the messenger in Tsing Yi had misunderstood, so he smiled slightly and explained, "A certain will defeat Lai Cheng with the power of thunder, relieve the siege of Luokoucang, and then kill Luokou directly, and form a front and back attack with Xinyi Gong (Han Shige), and put Fei Qingnu to death." If the sailor is injured, he will inevitably retreat, so that the gap between the Tiger Prison and Cangcheng will be unimpeded again, and then you just need to abide by the agreement and transport the grain and grass to the Tiger Prison in a steady stream. ”

The messenger in Tsing Yi was shocked. Zhou Fashang is famous, Lai Cheng and Fei Qingnu are also fierce generals of the Wei Mansion, and the sailors are also the elite of Jiangzuo, even if Yang Xuangan is there in person, I am afraid that he will not dare to say that he can defeat the sailors in a devastating manner, but the fierce thief in front of him dares to declare "fiercely" that the sailor is the local chicken and Wagouer.

The messenger in Tsing Yi didn't dare to say much, and bowed down to say goodbye and leave. At this time, Wei Fusi suddenly came in a hurry, stopped the messenger in Tsing Yi, and asked him to wait for a while.

Wei Fusi walked up to Li Fengyun and whispered a few words. Li Fengyun was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, "The news is accurate? ”

Wei Fusi smiled.

"There is still one thing that needs to be troubled by Huainan Gong (Yang Xuanzong)." Li Fengyun immediately shouted at the messenger in Tsing Yi.
