On June 11, Yang Xuangan's army advanced 6 times, and killed Yanshi with the invincible momentum of the blocker.

Henan Ling Daxi kindly obeyed the orders of the Eastern Capital, and advanced to Heishi Pass along the 6th Road, and learned that Yang Xuangan had captured Luokou and Heishi, and was killing violently, so he did not hesitate and retreated in a hurry, until he retreated to Yangqu, about twenty miles northwest of Yanshi, before stopping. He can't withdraw any more, and if he retreats another thirty or forty miles, he will be the eastern capital.

Pei Hongce's retreat was faster, and he retreated to Hongchi to the west of Yanshi overnight. Hongchi is in the west of Yangqu, connected to Yangqu, and is more than 20 miles away from Yanshi.

After noon, the order of the Eastern Capital to counterattack Heishi was sent to Pei Hongce and Da Xi's kind hands, and the two pretended to obey and replied to the Eastern Capital that they would go out immediately, but it did not rain during the thunder, and it was not out until dark, and at this time the Yanshi had been surrounded by Yang Xuangan, and the Yanshi Duwei came to Yuan to hold on to the city, and at the same time, in the direction of Baiguwu across the river, Wu Benlang led Zhou Zhong to lead the army to fight fiercely with the rebels.

The Yanshi was surrounded, Zhou Zhong could not turn a blind eye, and had to cross the river to attack, in order to form a flanking attack with the Yanshi, and work together with Laiyuan to stick to the Yanshi at any cost, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and he was mercilessly "pitted" by the Yanshi Duwei Laiyuan.

In the middle of the night, the defenders in the Yanshi City raised their flags in response to Yang Xuangan and opened the city gates, and the Yanshi fell. Yanshi Duwei Laiyuan was captured, and then under the coercion of Yang Xuangan, he signed the name with a bloody handprint, although he knew that this move would bring endless disasters to his father Laihu'er and the Lai family, but he did not have the courage to sacrifice his life for benevolence, and for his own selfishness, he survived and embarked on the road of rebellion regardless of it.

Yang Xuangan ordered to lure the enemy deeper, deceive Zhou Zhong to Yanshi City, and surround and annihilate him.

Zhou Zhong didn't know that the Yanshi had fallen, and when he saw the rebels defeated and left, he immediately crossed the river with his army, fought to catch up, tried to defeat Yang Xuangan in one go, relieve the siege of Yanshi, and then rendezvous with Pei Hongce and Da Xi in good faith under the city, coupled with the strong support of Li Gongting, the general of Wu Benlang in the direction of Yamato Valley and Yangshan, all the armies worked together to establish a solid defense line on the front line of Yanshi.

However, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhong's thoughts were shattered, and he and more than 4,000 Eagle Yang guards were besieged under the city. However, with the strong strength of the Eastern Capital Garrison, it was completely possible to fight a bloody way and break through, but the most terrifying scene appeared, his subordinates surrendered Yang Xuangan without hesitation, and an avalanche was formed in a short period of time, and the whole army was annihilated, and even he himself was taken prisoner in a daze.

After midnight, Zhou Zhong, the son of Jiangzuo's famous general Zhou Luoyu, an outstanding person in the generation of Weifu Shaozhuang, and a senior military general from Jiangzuo who was trusted and respected by the Holy Lord, suddenly raised his flag in response to Yang Xuangan, and was appointed by Yang Xuangan as a soldier in the military Cao Shen, and became Yang Xuangan's ally, openly betraying the Holy Lord and the Jiangzuo group.

June 12, early morning, the imperial city of the Eastern Capital.

Fan Zigai's face was very ugly, his eyes were gloomy, and his murderous aura was exposed, like a fierce beast waiting to be devoured, and he was on the verge of bloodthirsty madness.

Gu Jue responded to support Yang Xuangan, which was reasonable, not surprising, but Pei Shuang, Lai Yuan, and Zhou Zhong, as well as their cronies and bureaucrats, a large group of Jiangzuo nobles, a group of famous "second generation officials", also responded to support Yang Xuangan, it would be "abnormal", and the impact of this "abnormality" was very bad, not only would it hit the authority of the Eastern Capital, but also had a psychological impact on the aristocratic bureaucracy of the Eastern Capital, including the many political forces in the two capitals. Even those Jiangzuo magnates who had won the trust and favor of the Holy Lord responded positively to Yang Xuangan, so the future trend of this military coup was obviously not conducive to the Holy Lord and the reformers, so the more sinister the shape, the slightest carelessness in the eastern capital could be killed in the storm.

Guanguo Gong Yang Gongren, Qin Wang Yang Hao, Cui Zhen, Dugu Sheng, Yuan Wendu, Wei Yunqi, Wei Ji and others looked stern, looking very heavy, in fact, each with their own thoughts, disdainful, schadenfreude, cold bystanders, in short, no one supported Fan Zigai, at this moment do not fall into the ground, has taken into account the overall situation, taking into account the feelings of colleagues, otherwise a rush up, aimed at Fan Zigai to split his head and face is a "beating", Fan Zigai, who stayed in Tokyo, will completely become a "puppet" with a blue nose and swollen face. Fan Zigai still has use value, these bigwigs need a "white face", some things that are inconvenient for Yue Wang Yang Tong to do, can be done ⊥ Fan Zigai, so that it is convenient for them to manipulate the situation in the Eastern Capital behind their backs.

"The Yanshi has been lost, there is no danger to defend on the eastern front, and the rebels are about to come to the city." Yang Gongren broke the silence and said in a low voice, "Speed up the evacuation, give up if you don't have time to evacuate, but people must retreat, if the innocent are harmed and the corpses are everywhere, we will die and not atone for their sins." ”

"Guan Gong, how is the battle on the southern front?" Wei Yunqi asked, "The eastern front can no longer be held, if the southern front can't be held either, Yang Xuangan and Han Xiangguo will attack the eastern capital, then the eastern capital is in danger, especially the southern Guo, the garrison force is only Fei Yao's more than 4,000 eagles Yang Wei, which is too thin." Wei Yunqi said this, glanced at Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was frowning, and then at Fan Zigai, who was on the verge of rage, and decisively proposed his own proposal, "Whether to consider letting Gong (Li Hun) withdraw into Nanguo to strengthen the garrison of Nanguo, and whether to consider asking Xijing for help to ensure the safety of the eastern capital." ”

Yue Wang Yang Tong bowed his head and was silent. Yang Tong knows a lot about Li Hun these days. As Yang Gongren said, Li Hun will not enter the city, and he will not let Li Hun enter the city. Li Hun's position is outside the city, on the west and south lines of the eastern capital, and the defensive range is very large, not only to prevent the Xijing army from crossing the Hangu Pass, but also to prevent the rebels from attacking the eastern capital, so Li Hun is bound to be overstretched in the deployment of troops, and there will definitely be problems, which leaves a big "bargaining chip" for the game between the future holy lord and the king of Qi. As for Wei Yunqi's construction, it is obviously ill-intentioned, that is, the weasel did not have a good heart to greet the chickens for the New Year, he is afraid that the east will not be chaotic, and he is afraid that the east will not be lost. Since Webster has abandoned King Qi, how can the relationship between it and Li Hun be as "intimate" as it seems? Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, intended to Pei Gong, Wei Yunqi wanted to put Li Hun to death. And asking for help from Xijing, for the Eastern Capital, will not be considered at all, the political struggle involved in this is too fierce, the game of interests is too complicated, unless it comes to the moment of life and death, the Holy Lord personally issued an edict, personally compromised and made concessions to Xijing, otherwise no one dared to "bow down" to Xijing on behalf of the Eastern Capital, that was purely looking for death.

Fan Zigai will not be fooled, he is not alone now, nor can he be called a lonely person, but he was "pitted" too badly by the gangsters, even the only Wu Benlang he can rely on Zhou Zhong and his army were wiped out by the whole army of the "pit", so that now he has become a "laughing stock" in the imperial city, and he is humiliated, but there is no way, he now has nothing except the identity of staying in the eastern capital, and he has completely become a puppet, and he has become a spectator in this storm, and can only follow Yang Tong, the king of Yue.

Yang Gongren didn't answer Wei Yunqi, but stood up and walked to the map hanging on the side.

"Gong (Li Hun) has withdrawn to Xiyuan, backed by Jicui Pond and Fanghua Garden, and arranged along the line of Luoshui and Gushui." Yang Gongren pointed to the West Garden on the map, from Luoshui to Gushui, and drew an arc, "This is the first line of defense, focusing on Jicui Pond." If the rebels break through this line of defense, they will follow the two embankments to the north and south of the pond and kill the imperial city. ”

Yang Gongren's finger drew a circle along the Jicui Pond on the map, "This is the second line of defense of the Gong, its southern end is in the Jianguomen and Baihumen of Nanguo, and its northern end is the willow embankment between Fanghuayuan and Jicui Pond, and the focus of defense is Yuepi (the south embankment of Jicui Pond)." If Guogong fails to hold the moon, then he will have to retreat to the third line of defense. ”

Yang Gongren's fingers swiped across the zodiacal canal on the map and stayed on the Tongji canal.

"The Zodiac Canal and the Zodiac Bridge over the Canal are the third line of defense of the Gong. If the rebels break through the third line of defense, they will directly face the left and right gates of the imperial city and the end gate in the center. ”

Yang Gongren's fingers did not stop, but slowly paddled along the Tongji Canal between Nanguo and Beiguo, and then went out of the Eastern Capital and stopped at Yanshi City.

"The Yanshi has fallen, and Yang Xuangan will next advance along the channel water 6, directly to the imperial city, and the soldiers will be under the East Sun Gate."

At this point, the military and political bigwigs have understood, due to the special layout of the Eastern Capital, Yang Xuangan can attack the Eastern Capital, and he can directly attack the Imperial City and kill the center of the Eastern Capital, and from the analysis of the current battle situation, Yang Xuangan is a two-way attack on the Imperial City, so the Eastern Capital War is actually the Imperial City Defense War, and if the Imperial City is defended, the Eastern Capital will be defended. Expecting Yang Xuan to make a faint move, first attack Waiguo and then the Imperial City, is simply an unrealistic fantasy, as long as people with a little military common sense, when they arrive at the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, they will concentrate all their forces to fight the Imperial City, take the Imperial City, and the Eastern Capital is at their fingertips, there is no need to waste time and energy to fight any Waiguo.

"Yang Xuangan's attack on the eastern capital is to outflank the east and west, and to attack from two directions, and our countermeasure is very simple, while holding the imperial city, the north and south are flanking to effectively intercept and contain the rebels. The southern side of the interception was in charge of the public, and Wu Benlang cooperated with Fei Yao to resolutely block the rebels on the south bank of the Zodiac Canal, preventing the rebels from crossing the Zodiac Bridge, and preventing the thief Han Xiangguo from having the slightest chance to attack the imperial city. The containment in the north was in charge of Gao Dugong (Li Gongting), and Yang Xuan was moved to attack from Hui'anmen Street, so that Yang Xuangan was fighting alone, and at the same time, he had to divide his troops to fight against Gao Dugong. ”

Yang Gongren stopped when he said this, his gaze slowly swept over the military and political bigwigs in the hall, and finally stopped on Wei Yunqi's face, and said with a pun, "Therefore, there is no need for the public to enter the city at all, and the garrison of the imperial city only needs Ji Hou (Dugusheng)'s Praetorian Guards is more than enough." In addition, we also have the two armies of Henan Zanwu Pei Hongce and Henan Lingda Xi goodwill, although they are both local township regiments, but as long as they are used properly, they can play an important role at critical moments. ”

"Dongdu is a trap, as long as Yang Xuangan comes, he will definitely die."

There was silence in the lobby. Yang Gongren's tone was firm and full of confidence, but in the eyes of a group of military and political bigwigs, he was fierce and pure bluff.

Sticking to the Eastern Capital is sticking to the Imperial City, which is good, but the question is, can the Imperial City be held under the current treacherous political situation in the Eastern Capital? The Imperial City is a fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if the fortress collapses from the inside, does Yang Gongren still have the art to return to the sky?
