Chapter 398: The soldiers forced Yi Quekou
"Now the Guanlong people have driven you to a dead end, you have to mutiny, you have to die to survive, but if you are lucky and unwilling to give most of the future benefits to the Guanlong people, then you will be defeated." Li Fengyun continued, "A certain person from Qilu is here to help you find a glimmer of life from the inevitable defeat and death, and the opportunity is to take the eastern capital as quickly as possible, hold on to the city, and when the situation is clear, you will compromise with the Guanlong people and join forces with the Guanlong people to fight against the Holy Lord." Of course, in this way, your future interests will be more lost, but compared to the results of your destruction after the failure of the mutiny, these losses are nothing and can be fully beared. ”
Li Mi looked at Li Fengyun with a dull gaze and opened his mouth.
Indeed, Li Fengyun's deduction is correct, when it comes to life and death, if Yang Xuangan and the core members of the mutiny want to maintain the survival of the Benzheng group, the only way to "surrender" is to "surrender" to the Guanlong people, but will they "surrender"? And will the Guanlong people accept their "surrender"?
"Now, do you still have doubts about our cooperation?" Li Fengyun asked.
Li Mi realized that no matter how hard he "tried", he could not overcome Li Fengyun's obstacle, so he decided to hibernate for the time being, "You have to keep your promises. ”
"A certain can promise you that as long as Yang Xuan is undefeated, as long as he is willing to let a certain stay in the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, a certain will not cross the river to the north." Li Fengyun said solemnly, "However, in the future, if Yang Xuangan wants to leave the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, or order a certain person to cross the river to the north and go north, and block the official army in Hanoi or the north direction of the river, it cannot be said that a certain person has broken his promise." ”
Li Mi agreed, and the two sides cooperated on this, and Li Fengyun's first request was to disclose Li Mi's true identity among the top leaders of the alliance. Li Mi's status is noble, and after it is made public, it can directly affect the morale of the alliance army, increase the confidence of the alliance's top brass in the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and more importantly, it will also help Li Mi exert his influence on the alliance top brass, and help increase the trust of both sides in cooperation.
Li Mi agreed after a little weighing, and after the end of the Rushui War, he disclosed his true identity. He twice assumed the alias Liu Zhiyuan to "mingle" with the top of the alliance, and knew the core members of the alliance around Li Fengyun, in fact, everyone had guessed his identity, but they "tacitly" each other, no one wanted to pierce this layer of window paper, and now because of the shape of the shì, Li Mi himself must pierce this layer of window paper, otherwise it will inevitably affect this cooperation and affect Li Fengyun's overall plan on the battlefield in the Eastern Capital.
The battle of Rushui came far faster than Li Mi imagined, and only more than two hours later, the scouts in front came with the news that they had appeared in the direction of Jiacheng at the junction of the two counties more than 40 miles ahead, and from the scale of the camp built by the official army, there were about two or three thousand people.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Fengyun immediately ordered the Tiger Army, the Hussar Army, and the First Army of the Alliance, which were at the forefront, to immediately put down all their baggage, let go of their legs, and run wildly, so as to enter the battlefield before dawn, and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. He also ordered the Fengyun Army and the Fourth Army of the Alliance to follow closely behind the Xuanfeng Corps, take advantage of the situation to cover the killing, and strive to completely annihilate the official army. Li Fengyun hoped that this battle would be fought neatly, and it was best to block the news so that the army would win the opportunity to attack the city and pull out the fortress in the north.
This is a battle without suspense, the alliance occupies an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and there is a calculating unintentional, the enemy is taken by surprise, when the dawn comes, when the officers and troops are still asleep, the enemy is not prepared, and the officers and soldiers of Xiangcheng County are taken by surprise. Compared with the Battle of Bianshui, this battle was easier for the alliance army to win, because the Lu army led by Li Min once fought "hot" with the alliance army on the Qilu battlefield and had a certain combat effectiveness, while the officers and soldiers of Xiangcheng County had not been on the battlefield for many years, had not experienced life and death tempering, and even fought in the winter military training once a year, so you can imagine what a tragic ending it would have when it encountered a group of roaring tigers and wolves.
Under the urging of Li Fengyun and with the cooperation of Li Mi, the alliance army roared northward like a hurricane, all the way like a bamboo, and the blockers were invincible.
Xiangcheng County Government Chengxiu panicked, 100,000 fire urgently alerted the eastern capital, but it was too late, the alliance army first swept the South Ruyuan, and then captured the East Ruyuan, completed the encirclement of Chengxiu, and then non-stop, continued to go north, the main army arrived at the east bank of Yishui a day later, captured Annihilation with lightning speed, conquered the current rank, crossed the defense line of the moat, and was only more than 100 miles away from the southern pass of the eastern capital.
How far is Yiquekou from Dongdu? More than 100 miles.
It can be seen from this that when the allied army under the banner of Han Xiangguo stormed the mouth of Yique, it would have caused a huge shock to the eastern capital, had an immeasurable impact on the political situation of the eastern capital, and was a heavy blow to the holy lord who had forcibly moved the capital against the public opinion after ascending the throne and the reformers who supported the decision to move the capital. The fact that the Jingshi was attacked by the thieves and the power center of Middle-earth fell into an existential crisis, which not only fully proved that the defense of the Trench Pass around the Gyeonggi region, which cost the people and money, could not guarantee the safety of the Eastern Capital, but also proved that it was a huge decision-making mistake to move the Jingshi from Guanzhong to the Central Plains, and it also proved that the radical centralized reform ideas adhered to by the Holy Lord and the reformers were also incorrect. Under the ensuing political blows, it will inevitably fall into an unprecedented crisis of authority and confidence, and the consequences will be completely predictable.
The Gyeonggi gateway was close at hand, and the galloping pace of the Union troops stopped.
Two mountains and a river in front, the road is difficult and dangerous, there are vertical pavilions, there are high capital cities, and then there is Yiquekou, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open, the difficulty of the attack is very great, the alliance soldiers rushed hundreds of miles in one breath, must stop for a temporary rest, while recuperating and preparing for the attack, and the alliance high-level should immediately come up with a practical and effective plan for attacking. This plan not only has to avoid its own casualties, but also to attract and contain more garrisons in the Eastern Capital, and at the same time, it is also necessary to find ways to rush through the natural danger of Yique Pass in the shortest possible time, and the troops will come to the Eastern Capital, so it is very difficult, and it requires a unified understanding and collective efforts of the high-level leaders of the alliance.
The headquarters of the alliance is located at the forefront, outside the city of Dangjie on the banks of the Yishui River. At this moment, it was the height of summer, the weather was hot, and in order to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness, Li Fengyun and the top leaders of the alliance moved the military council field to the shade of the river embankment, and everyone sat on the ground and spoke freely.
Li Fengyun solemnly introduced Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, and selectively revealed some important secrets around Li Mi and the mutinous alliance led by Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Yueguo.
The atmosphere of the military discussion suddenly became warm. As Li Fengyun expected, Li Mi's prominent status played a role in inspiring the morale of the army. Li Mi was born in the Liaodong House of the Li family of Zhao County, although Li Bi, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, began to fight in Guanlong to fight the "world", but after the unification of Middle Earth, the children of Shandong wealthy families who had "successful careers" in Guanlong have returned to "Guangzong Yaozu", and Li Bi's lineage is no exception, even if because of complex political reasons, this branch has not established a very close interest relationship with the Li family of Zhaojun of this sect, but it is still impossible to deny that Li Mi is a Shandong native who is "rooted in Miao Hong", which makes his identity public at the same time. As a matter of course, it has won the approval of the top management of the alliance, and the heroes have accepted this special "high staff" without exception.
Li Mi talked eloquently at the military meeting, explained and analyzed the current situation in detail in favor of the mutiny, and deliberately concealed the latest changes in the political situation in the eastern capital and the predicament that Liyang was in because of it. There is no way, in order to ensure morale, we can only report good news and not bad news, and the fact is indeed more good and less sad, after all, the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force are fighting in Liaodong, Xijing and Guanlong are paying attention to the crisis in the western Xinjiang, the official army in Hebei is fighting on the Yongji Canal, and the only threat to the righteous army is the Dongdu garrison, and the Dongdu garrison has to protect the safety of Tongji Canal and fight head-on with the allied army in Henan, and also block Han Xiangguo from Yuzhou in the direction of Yiquekou south of Gyeonggi, At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the security of the key points of the Dongdu and Gyeonggi passes, and the troops are divided into three, and there is no absolute superiority in any battlefield. It can be inferred from this that even if the righteous army will encounter stubborn resistance from the official army at Yiquekou, as long as Yang Xuangan raises troops in Liyang and quickly crosses the river to enter Gyeonggi and approach the eastern capital, then the eastern capital will definitely shrink its defense when its own safety is difficult to guarantee, so that Yique can go down.
Based on this, Li Mi came up with an attack strategy.
The main force of the alliance took advantage of the fact that before the eastern capital could react, it captured the city of Chuiting and Gaodu, approached the mouth of Yique, and then launched a fierce attack in order to attract and contain more garrisons of the eastern capital to the mouth of Yique.
After Han Xiangguo sacked Yingchuan, he immediately led his troops north to enter the battlefields of East Yeowon and South Yeowon, and while encircling Yingchuan Prefecture Chengxiu, he swept the area of Rushui and Yishui as quickly as possible, and strived to "sweep away" the peripheral towns of the southern line of Gyeonggi in the shortest possible time, establish a stable "rear", and create the best conditions for the main force to break through the Gyeonggi Pass and enter the eastern capital.
The alliance governor's office and the four road governors' offices that were left on the front line of Henan and Tongji Canal, while continuing to plunder the Tongji Canal, took the initiative to break through the Gyeonggi defense line and attack Xingyang, trying by all means to force the eastern capital to transfer troops to support Xingyang.
As a result, the troops of the Rebel Alliance and Han Xiangguo launched a pincer offensive towards Gyeonggi in the southeast two directions of Tongji Canal, and the Dongdu garrison was in a dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Li Mi firmly believed that under such a critical situation, the eastern capital would inevitably divide its troops to block it, and it would inevitably fight on two fronts, and the defensive strength of the eastern capital would be weakened as a result, which gave Yang Xuangan of Liyang an opportunity to cross the river and raid the eastern capital.
