Chapter 519: There are too many rumors
"I don't know why you suddenly came up with such a clumsy plan on a whim." Li Fengyun weighed it again and again, but decided to force Yang Xuangan to give in, so he continued in a softened tone, "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. If you want to enter the pass, you must first defeat the Xijing army, and the ideal situation is to completely annihilate the Xijing army, so that the westward advance will be unimpeded. If you want to completely annihilate the Xijing army, you will definitely not be able to take the initiative to attack Shaancheng, and in the end you will inevitably be dragged to death by the Xijing army, so you still have to lure the enemy deep, the best battlefield is still Michi, there is Hangu in front, there is interception in the back, there are steep mountains on the left and right, and it is difficult for the Xijing army to fly."
"As I said, Yue Gong is very likely to be angered by Xijing's atrocities, lose his mind, and kill himself." Li Fengyun sighed, "It turns out that a certain statement is true. You go back and tell the Duke of Yue that if he is in a hurry to take revenge and rushes to Shaancheng to fight to the death with the Xijing army, he will be finished, and the mutiny will fail. A certain will not give him a funeral, a certain will leave the eastern capital as quickly as possible, go south to Yuzhou, get out first, and then look for an opportunity to cross the river to the north. This is the end of our cooperation."
Li Mi even jaw head, as relieved. Yang Xuangan's brother was angry and lost his mind, he and Hu Shitan and others had no choice, they could only let it go, otherwise they would inevitably turn their faces and become enemies, so they could only hope for Li Fengyun, but if Li Fengyun threw his hands and left in a fit of anger, it would really be over. Fortunately, Li Fengyun is very calm, takes into account the overall situation, and insists on the decisive battle of Michi, which is hopeful.
"The reason why Yue Gong is anxious is that he is worried that the Xijing army will stop in Shaancheng." Li Mi sighed, "We are not sure that Wei Wensheng will continue to advance to the Eastern Capital."
"Yang Xuangan If he kills Shaancheng and makes a quick move, of course Wei Wensheng will not go east." Li Fengyun said, "Yang Xuangan left the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the crisis in the Eastern Capital was eased, and the other reinforcements from all walks of life would inevitably speed up their entry into Beijing, so Yang Xuangan would inevitably be trapped east of Tongguan and would definitely die. On the other hand, if you continue to besiege the eastern capital and continue to aggravate the crisis, you will give the king of Qi, the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people the opportunity to make a profit, and before the emperor and the center have not satisfied their appetite, they will have every reason to delay the entry into Beijing, after all, the smooth passage of the Grand Canal is equally important. If they don't enter Beijing, the Xijing army will have to march east, because they have no reason to delay at all. Therefore, I think it is very unwise for you to take the initiative at this moment, and you are bringing disaster upon yourself."
Li Fengyun waved his hand vigorously at Li Mi, and said in a firm tone, "You sue the Duke of Yue, please be patient and wait for a few more days, the Xijing army will definitely advance eastward, and the decisive battle of Michi will definitely annihilate the opponent, and he will definitely be able to take revenge. Here a certain is willing to make a promise, as long as he insists on the decisive battle of Michi, a certain will never betray his promise and evacuate first
This is an open threat, if you go west to Shaancheng for a decisive battle, you will evacuate south and go your separate ways.
In the early morning of June 26, Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei's arrest, received a letter from the king of Qi outside the inner Huangcheng. King Qi told him that Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the water division, had arrived in Liyang, and specially invited Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling to go to Liyang together to discuss the counterinsurgency plan. Cui Hongsheng did not hesitate, set off overnight, and Pegasus galloped to Liyang.
Zhou Fashang is an absolute confidant of the Holy Lord, and since he has arrived in Liyang, the political risk of meeting with the King of Qi has been minimized, so at this moment, he must not only rush to Liyang, but also rush to Liyang as quickly as possible to express his eagerness.
On this morning, Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling arrived at the camp of King Qi outside Liyang City. King Qi personally went out to greet him, on the one hand, to thank them for their tacit cooperation during this time, and on the other hand, in the false greetings, implying that the two sides continued to maintain a tacit understanding, and the cooperation would be mutually beneficial, and they would be happy to join hands to grab the profits.
After the banquet, King Qi invited Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the water division, Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei to arrest, Dong Chun to stay in Pengcheng, Chen Ling, the deputy to stay in Zhuojun, Li Shanheng to Wu Benlang, Fei Qingnu to Wu Benlang, and Wu Benlang to gather in the tent in the future to discuss the counterinsurgency.
King Qi said that at present, the five-way rescue army is gathered on the battlefield of Liyang, Liyang can go down with a drum, and the smooth flow of the Grand Canal is just around the corner, and then the five-way army can join hands to go south, kill the eastern capital, and encircle and suppress the traitors.
The king of Qi wants to enter Beijing in a high-profile manner, which is expected by Zhou Fashang, Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling and others, although they know that this is the king of Qi's plan to capture the old and indulge, but there is no way, now the initiative is in the hands of the king of Qi, and the other parties have to "bow their heads".
After King Qi finished speaking passionately, there was silence in the tent, and no one responded, which made King Qi's face suddenly difficult to look at, is there such a faceless person? Lonely is also the emperor's concubine, you generals of the Weifu are too deceitful, right? Lone wants to go to Beijing to support, and he wants to be loyal to the country, is this also wrong?
Among these commanders, Zhou Fashang was the oldest, the most senior, the most prominent, the most prestigious, and the most trusted and relied on by the Holy Lord, so before he spoke, the others would not speak, so as not to go in the wrong direction in politics.
Zhou Fa was still expressionless, and his old face showed a look of exhaustion, but his eyes were still sharp, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Zhou Fashang saw that King Qi's face was not good, and the others, in order to deduce what they wanted to know from their words, closed their mouths one by one and did not speak, so they had no choice but to cough twice in a low voice, and said slowly, "The decision made by the province on June 22 was to concentrate on saving the Eastern Capital, and the decision made on June 21 was to take Liyang, support Xingyang, and open the North-South Grand Canal first." When Zhou Fashang said this, his eyes suddenly looked at King Qi, and his eyes suddenly became fierce, "I want to know, why did the province make two diametrically opposed decisions in two days?" Dongduna. [,! What the hell is going on? Has the Eastern Capital already fallen?"
"The connection between the province and the eastern capital has been interrupted for several days, and there is no definite news on whether the eastern capital has fallen, but there are rumors that the eastern capital has fallen." King Qi spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Of course, there are too many rumors now, and they are very loud, and they are not credible, and they can't be believed, for example, there are rumors that after the same track Gong (Wei Wensheng) arrived in Huayin, he dug up the tomb of Lao Yue Gong, whipped the corpse, and broke the bones and scattered ashes......"
The more King Qi spoke, the quieter his voice became, but for Zhou Fashang, Chen Ling, Fei Qingnu, and the whole four of them, it was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they were shocked. Excavating people's graves, whipping people's corpses, burning people's bones, such a thing of common anger of people and gods, how much hatred does it take to do it?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu's entire family was killed by the King of Chu, and the hatred was as deep as the sea, so Wu Zixu borrowed the power of Wu to destroy Chu, and dug up the grave and whipped the corpse to avenge the hatred, and Wu Zixu thus left an indelible "stain" in history. Therefore, even if Yang Xuangan launched a military coup, even if the Hongnong Yang clan betrayed the Holy Lord, the old Yue Gong Yang Su would not be completely denied, in addition, there is a lesson from the Han King Yang Liang, plus the Holy Lord and the center will also hold high the banner of "benevolence and righteousness" to win the hearts of the people, plus the Holy Lord won the imperial system at the beginning and the support of the old Yue State Duke Yang Su is inseparable, so it is certain that in the political liquidation after the storm, the Holy Lord and the center will never deny the old Yue Guo Gong Yang Su, On the contrary, if the Holy Lord and the central center completely deny Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, and even lose their minds and make the atrocity of digging graves and whipping corpses and burning bones, it will inevitably anger the major aristocratic groups, and they will fall into great passivity politically and morally, and the results can be imagined.
This is a desperate plan, this "absolute" is not only Yang Xuangan alone and a family, but even the Holy Lord and the central government are all "absolute". It is conceivable that once such atrocities spread in Middle-earth, the bad effects caused by them are incalculable, and the perpetrators must be notorious, and all the blame will eventually fall on the Holy Lord and the center headed by the reformers, and people will certainly curse Wei Wensheng, but they will hate the Holy Lord and the center even more, so that the authority of the Holy Lord and the center will be dealt a heavy blow, and the foundation of the rule will be shaken, which will inevitably endanger the security of the country.
"It can't be." Zhou Fashang said sharply, "The same track will not do such an angry thing, this is a rumor."
King Qi smiled, smiling very strangely, a little sad, "Rumors, it is indeed a rumor, and Lone also thinks it is a rumor."
Zhou Fashang saw King Qi's weird smile, his heart suddenly beat violently, and he was suddenly dizzy and suffocated. This is true, it must be true, Wei Wensheng must have dug up Yang Su's tomb, but why did Wei Wensheng do this? Why did he lose his mind? Didn't he know that this move would bring a "moral" catastrophe to the Holy Lord and the center? The two successive defeats of the Eastern Crusade have dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and this "moral" disaster is tantamount to adding insult to injury, which will plunge the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Government into an unprecedented crisis.
Zhou Fashang doesn't know Wei Wensheng very well, in the past, when Wei Wensheng served as a military and political chief in the local government, Zhou Fashang was also a feudal official, and the two belonged to different political groups, of course, there was no intersection, but Wei Wensheng was from the Heluo family, and Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, belonged to the same political group, and it is said that the relationship between the two was very good, which made Zhou Fashang have to speculate from malice about Wei Wensheng's motive for digging the grave and whipping the corpse, what is Wei Wensheng's purpose? Which side is it on in this storm?
