Chapter 411: The Waves Have Risen
"It's useless to think too much, the top priority is to hold the mouth of Yique, and to block Li Hun's attack." Li Mi waved his hand at everyone again and again, signaling everyone not to pay too much attention to Liyang, now the information between the two places is not connected, and it is meaningless to pay attention, "The annihilation of the whole army of Xinyigong (Han Shige) will definitely shake the eastern capital, and then Li Hun has no choice but to fight back, the battlefield of Yique will definitely be bloody in the next few days, and all the monarchs still need to work together to tide over the difficulties." ”
Li Mi is now the supreme commander of this army, and his position was first established by Li Fengyun, who "cannot see the light"; secondly, Li Min, who was hiding beside Li Fengyun, also actively supported it; Once again, Han Xiangguo has decided that only Li Fengyun is the horse, since Li Fengyun wants to use Li Mi as a "big banner", of course he has no objection and is happy to see it; After Han Shige appeared, this Li Mi's political ally still had the idea of controlling this army at first, but after seeing Bai Li Fengyun, he knew who the real commander of this army was, and after weighing the pros and cons, he also "saw the wind and made the rudder", first used Li Fengyun to take care of what should be done, and waited until Yang Xuangan killed the eastern capital and controlled the overall situation, if Li Fengyun still didn't know what to do and didn't know how to advance or retreat, then you were welcome.
Li Mi has a hard time, before attacking Yique, he was "calculated" by Li Fengyun, but he is not without a chance of reversal, he still has a "hole card" in his hand, and the "secret weapon" of Han Shige, the guard of Yique, he plans to join forces with Han Shige to "pit" Li Fengyun at the mouth of Yique, and in turn "calculate" Li Fengyun, and then get rid of Li Fengyun's control. But people are not as good as heaven, he never expected Li Min to suddenly appear, unveil his "hole card", and put him in an embarrassing place, so that there is no trust between him and Li Fengyun, even the most basic credit is gone, but this is fine, anyway, sooner or later you have to turn your face, and it is better to turn your face early than late. Now Li Mi "admitted" and let Li Fengyun "drive", but after meeting with Yang Xuangan and the fundamental change in the balance of power between the two sides, Li Fengyun will no longer be able to pinch Li Mi's neck and do whatever he wants.
Li Fengyun and Han Shige agreed with Li Mi's opinion, and several people immediately discussed the specific arrangements, and finally decided that Han Shimo would take the men and horses of his headquarters to the east bank of Yishui to rest and recuperate, and the alliance army would continue to carry out offensive and defensive operations according to the established deployment.
Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, led his army to set up a battle formation in the southeast of Xianren Palace, and just when he was about to attack Yique, the news of the annihilation of Han Shige's entire army suddenly came, which suddenly made him feel a strong sense of foreboding, and he immediately changed his decision, ordering all legions to immediately build a defensive front between Luoshui and Yishui, and do their best to prevent the rebels from attacking the eastern capital.
The Eastern Capital was shocked again, a martial general, more than 2,000 elite garrisons, was wiped out under the mouth of Yique, this is too unbelievable, too unbelievable, is this possible? What's the amazing secret behind this?
The Eastern Capital collectively lost its voice, or was at a loss, or panicked, or watched coldly, or gloated, or sharpened its knives, and the situation was treacherous, frightening, and suffocating.
At this moment, the military has the unshirkable responsibility to take on the heavy responsibility of defeating the traitors, strengthening the Gyeonggi defense line, and ensuring the stability of the eastern capital, however, Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, ordered to shrink the defense, in the name of luring the snake out of the hole, luring the enemy to attack, and using the terrain advantage to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, so as to avoid unpredictable losses caused by the attack, but his series of military deployments on the west bank of Yishui failed to reflect the momentum of active offensive, but had the intention of promoting the aggravation of the crisis in the eastern capital.
Fan Zigai finally realized that something big was going to happen in the east, if he said that he had doubts from the complicated situation in the two capitals, from Cui Zhen's warnings and hints, then now he was convinced, he was sure that someone in the east was going to use violent means to carry out a military coup aimed at overthrowing the holy lord and reform, and it was certain that many people in the east were "working together" to promote the explosion of this military coup, although so far, this crisis is still on the surface, and it is only limited to the traitor Han Xiangguo who captured Yique, Breaking through the Gyeonggi defense line, but in fact there is already a torrent surging under the rough surface of the lake, the dam is about to collapse, the flood is about to burst, and the eastern capital is already in danger.
Fan Zigai hurriedly reported to the palace, alarmed the Holy Lord and the center, and at the same time rushed to the Yue Wang's Mansion to urgently discuss countermeasures with Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Shi Cui, the head of the Yue Wang's mansion.
Cui Chen, as always, has a clear attitude, sticks to the eastern capital, sticks to the eastern capital, and waits for help, just waiting for the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force to return, the situation will inevitably be reversed, but the question now is, is the military trustworthy? Are the Right Xiaowei General Li Hun and the Right Houwei General Zheng Yuanshou reliable? There is a more serious question, once the mutiny broke out in the eastern capital, what was Xijing's attitude? What is the position? If Xijing chooses to support the mutiny, will Dongdu be able to hold out until the Holy Lord returns? In the final analysis, if you want to hold the eastern capital, you must have an army that is absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord and is absolutely controlled by the King of Yue.
At present, the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City and the Palace City are absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, there is no doubt about this, after all, during the Holy Lord's expedition, there is always an absolutely reliable army to protect their relatives, protect the central government, and protect the power center of Middle-earth, but this army is according to the edict of the Holy Lord, during the Holy Lord's expedition, it only obeys the orders of the left prison gate general Dugu Sheng, so Yang Tong, the king of Yue, can't command this army, and Fan Zigai can't command it in the eastern capital, since it can't be commanded, it can't use this army to implement their decisions, Something else has to be done.
Now in the Gyeonggi area, the military generals who have the closest relationship with the Cui clan are the Governor of Heyang, Yang Hao, the King of Qin, and Cui Baode, the Governor of Xingyang, but Cui Baode is far away in the Tongji Canal, and the far water can't save the fire, and the only thing that can be counted on is Yang Hao, the Governor of Heyang, the King of Qin, who is close at hand.
"The shape is in danger, and I can only turn to the King of Qin for help." Fan Zigai knew that Cui Zhen would definitely obstruct it, so Yu Crisp directly proposed this proposal to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and elaborated his reasons.
Cui Zhen didn't stop it, and after quietly waiting for Fan Zigai to finish speaking, he asked, "The King of Qin led his army across the river, and the eastern capital did receive support, but what about the town in Hanoi?" If a rebel army takes advantage of the situation to invade Hanoi and attack Hanoi, and the army is on the north bank of the river, and the eastern capital falls into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, then the king of Qin will inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and can only watch Hanoi fall, and who will bear the responsibility for the fall of Hebei at that time? ”
Hanoi is the northern barrier of the eastern capital, if Hanoi is lost, the northern defense line of the eastern capital is opened, and only a big river can not resist the attack of the rebels, on the contrary, if Hanoi is defended, the eastern capital is not only the northern defense line is impregnable, but also can get strong support from Hanoi, so it is obvious that it is the safest policy to let Yang Hao, the king of Qin, concentrate all the forces of Hanoi to defend the northern defense line of the eastern capital.
Fan Zigai smiled bitterly, "You failed to convince Duke An Chang (Yuan Wendu), and you can't guarantee that Duke Xin (Zheng Yuanshou) will keep his promise, if King Qin also stands by and sees death and does not save him, how can Dongdu survive this difficulty?" ”
"I'm going to persuade An Changgong again." Cui Zhen is very stubborn and refuses to compromise. Cui's has been deeply involved in the battle for the imperial unification and is difficult to extricate itself, and this time it is even in danger of destruction, so in any case, it is necessary to leave some retreat for Cui's and deploy some "back hands" in advance, and Qin King Yang Hao is Cui's "retreat", that is, Cui's "back hand", and there is no room for loss, so Cui Zhen would rather pay a heavy price in this crisis, but also ensure the safety of Qin King Yang Hao, this is Cui's "bottom line", not a single step.
Cui Zhen visited Yuan Wendu for the second time, and this time he got his wish, and Yuan Wendu agreed to his compromise conditions, and told him that Fei Yao was leading the army to return to the Eastern Capital day and night. However, Fei Yao openly disobeyed the orders of Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and Zheng Yuanshou, the general of the Right Guard, and led the army back to the Eastern Capital without the consent of the Wei Government, which not only violated military discipline, but also amounted to rebellion, and the consequences were very strict. Of course, if there was a mutiny in the Eastern Capital, Fei Yao was not only innocent, but meritorious, but Li Hun and Zheng Yuanshou, who ordered him to take the initiative to attack and suppress the thieves on the front line of the Tongji Canal, were suspected of impure motives, but, who dares to guarantee that the Eastern Capital will definitely explode into a mutiny?
The only one who dared to make this kind of guarantee was Cui Zhen, who patted his chest in front of Yuan Wendu and said that the Eastern Capital would definitely explode into a mutiny, and the Eastern Capital was in danger of falling, so after Yuan Wendu made a commitment to cooperate, he bluntly warned Cui Zhen, "If your prediction of the situation in the Eastern Capital is wrong, you will bear all the consequences." ”
Cui Zhen did not answer directly, but asked Yuan Wendu rhetorically, "Can Han Xiangguo's rabble capture Yique?" Han Shige has been fighting the world with his father since he was a child, and he is a fierce general in a hundred battles, with his combat strength, will the whole army be wiped out under the mouth of Yique? Could it be that Han Xiangguo is the rebirth of the Marquis of Huaiyin? Or did Han Xin borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul? ”
Yuan Wendu laughed, stroked his long white hair, and asked with a pun, "I heard that the scholar and the imperial servant Shi Youyuan has returned to Liyang, but I don't understand why he wants to return to Liyang at this critical moment?" Since you swore that the Eastern Capital was about to explode into a mutiny, then Huang Taigong (Cui Hongsheng) should also be well aware of the situation in the Eastern Capital, in that case, why did he still let You Zhishu fall into danger? Why do you ignore his life and death? ”
Cui Zhen's brows suddenly furrowed, and his vest was a little cold. The information contained in Yuan Wendu's words was too rich, so rich that Cui Zhen was secretly shocked.
Obviously, Yuan Wendu knows the situation of Liyang very well, that is to say, Yang Xuangan may have Yuan Wendu's "eyeliner" around him, or Yang Xuangan's mutiny alliance has Xianbei people and even Yuan's children, which can explain why the Yuan family and the eight surnamed Xungui were very "refreshing" at the beginning of the year to give up the Yue Wangfu, and the strategy of "retreating as advance" was played in the hands of the Xianbei people.
Now in the face of the crisis, the Cui clan can only wait to be killed in the "pit", while the Xianbei people are doing their best to "blackmail" outside the "pit", not only unscrupulously blackmailing the Cui clan, but also blackmailing more political interests from more political forces. At this moment, Yuan Wendu suddenly mentioned You Yuanqi people, which made it clear that he wanted to blackmail the Hebei people.
In Yuan Wendu's view, since the Cui family knew the relationship between Liyang and the mutiny, then You Yuan, as Cui's political ally, should also know, from which it can be inferred that at the critical moment, You Yuan resolutely returned to Liyang regardless of life and death, and it is very likely that he would "turn the face" with Yang Xuangan on behalf of the Hebei people, so as to help the Hebei people completely break off the relationship with this mutiny, but Yang Xuangan was forced to take You Yuan as a hostage and coerce the Hebei people to take a wait-and-see attitude in the early stage of the mutiny, otherwise Yang Xuangan's mutiny team had not yet grown. The people of Hebei rushed up like wolves and tigers, and the trouble was big.
However, the question lies here, why did you Cui ask You Yuan to return to Liyang before the mutiny exploded? Is it intended to make You Yuan a hostage, so that the people of Hebei can take advantage of the fire to rob while watching coldly in the mutiny? What are your Cui family's intentions?
After Cui Zhen said goodbye to Yuan Wendu, he immediately found Cui Chuzhi and only said one sentence, "You Yuan will bring disaster to the people of Hebei." ”
