On June 12, late at night, he was appointed by Yang Xuangan as the Yuan Wuben of the Lizhou Assassin History, in the face of the crazy attack of the Hebei Righteous Army, in the face of the undying of the alliance army, in the face of Li Zixiong's fall into the well, and then thinking that the Weifu army from all walks of life was swarming, and Yang Xuangan had just entered Gyeonggi and had not yet entered the eastern capital, and the shape was very severe for the mutinous alliance, in this unfavorable situation, if he insisted on going his own way, he would continue to carry out Yang Xuangan's order, and use the grain of Liyang Cang to jam Li Zixiong and the alliance's "neck", Next, the two sides will inevitably tear their faces and fight, at this moment the eastern capital has not yet been won, the storm has not yet come, but Liyang's side suddenly has infighting, cannibalism, the consequences can be imagined, and as the culprit, death can not atone for his crimes, so he insisted on a day later, wavered, and resolutely decided to work around for the sake of the overall situation.

For him, as long as he can hold Liyang, do his best to contain more Weifu troops, and help Yang Xuangan win more time to attack the eastern capital, he will complete his mission and faithfully carry out Yang Xuangan's orders, as for how to hold Liyang, whether to follow Yang Xuangan's plan to hold Liyang, these are actually not important, the important result, not the process.

On the eve of midnight, Yuan Wuben shot the book city and took the initiative to invite Chen Rui to negotiate.

He knew that Chen Rui was outside Cangcheng, and he also knew that it was the alliance army that attacked Cangcheng, although Chen Rui was under the banner of the Qinghe thief Zhang Jincheng, and the Qinghe rebels did participate in the attack on Cangcheng, but this was just a strategy of Chen Rui, in order to maintain the agreement of the three parties to defend Liyang, and to make a hint to Yuan Wuben that the three parties could continue to work together, of course, the premise was that the alliance must control Liyang Cang. In fact, this violated the previous tripartite agreement, but now that Yang Xuangan is gone, it is Li Zixiong who stays behind in Liyang, and Li Zixiong not only wants to borrow the force of the alliance to curry favor with the alliance, but also to remove the noose around his neck and get rid of the stumbling block of Yuan Wuben, of course, he supports the alliance to take Liyang Cang.

Chen Rui had too many "hole cards" in his hand, and he was not afraid that Yuan Wuben would be unfavorable to him, so he swaggered into Cangcheng.

When the two met, Yuan Wuben could not hide his anger, and scolded sharply, accusing the alliance of treachery, going back on its word, and being despicable and shameless. It is true that Liyang Cang is a piece of fat meat, everyone wants it, and since Yang Xuangan swallowed it in his stomach, of course he will not spit it out, what does he use to control the situation in Liyang?

Chen Rui was very patient, and waited until the Yuan Wuben was finished before he said, "The King of Qi is here, and Li Shanheng's army has arrived in Puyang." ”

Yuan Wuben's face changed suddenly, and he was speechless. The King of Qi came too fast, and the 20,000 elites under the command of the King of Qi used to be the Eastern Palace Guards of Prince Yuande, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, and Liyang couldn't stop it at all, once the King of Qi captured Liyang, took Liyang Cang, and controlled the Grand Canal, the Eastern Capital and the Holy Lord were certainly under its control, and Yang Xuangan, who was fighting the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, was even more deeply affected by it, and it was very likely to be defeated.

King Qi's strategy was completely out of the expectations of the mutiny alliance, no wonder Li Zixiong took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Liyang, it turned out to be to help King Qi capture Liyang, no wonder Dong Chun rushed to Tongji Canal early, it turned out to be to deliberately deceive the opponent and make the opponent make a wrong judgment, so as to create a chance for the King of Qi to capture Liyang.

What now? Yuan Wuben looked at Chen Rui with a stern expression, and immediately realized that this move of King Qi couldn't help but make Dongdu and the Holy Lord fall into passivity, make Yang Xuangan fall into embarrassment, and even put the alliance in a desperate situation. Judging from the current situation of the alliance, in the face of King Qi's four bread copies, there is no power to fight back at all, whether it is obedience or confrontation, it is a dead end. It's no wonder that today the alliance is like a madman storming Cangcheng at any cost, according to this trend, Cangcheng really can't hold it, maybe it will fall tomorrow.

Yuan Wuben is glad that he made the right choice, now Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun have to work closely together on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, and he and Chen Rui have to work closely together on the battlefield of Liyang.

"What are your plans?" Yuan Wuben asked, "Grab Liyang Cang and run?" ”

"I can't even run away." Chen Rui said expressionlessly, "King Qi is here, Cui Hongsheng is also coming, the army left behind in Zhuojun to guard Duanda is on the way south, once Liyang is encircled, the army of Hanoi, and even the army of Xingyang, may be dispatched, and we have no way to escape." ”

Yuan Wuben immediately heard the voice from this sentence, "What benefits did Li Zixiong give you?" What conditions did you agree to? His promises, do you believe? He is the person of the King of Qi, and he only plans for the King of Qi, and he will sell us all to the King of Qi. ”

"We have to believe in Him." Chen Rui said, "He is now a traitor just like us, if Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan) is defeated and our army is wiped out, can he still escape from Nature?" ”

"Of course he has a way to escape." Yuan Wuben said angrily, "As long as the King of Qi enters the Eastern Capital and ascends the throne as the emperor, he will be an auxiliary hero." Speaking of which, Yuan Wuben suddenly woke up, it is difficult for the King of Qi to enter Beijing, Yang Tong, the king of Yue in the eastern capital, and Yang Qing, the king of Xun in Xingyang, will not let the king of Qi enter Beijing, and if the king of Qi arrives in Liyang, all the Weifu troops will gather, and under the deliberate prevention of a group of generals, it will be even more difficult for the king of Qi to enter Beijing, but how can the king of Qi miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him? Since he came with all his strength, and he came as fast as possible, of course, he was determined to win, and he must enter the Eastern Capital. In this way, King Qi's attack on Liyang must have another purpose, which was a strategy to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, and to capture Liyang to contain the rescue of the Weifu army from all directions, so as to win more time for him to enter Beijing and seize the imperial rule.

"What is Li Zixiong's countermeasure?" Motomoto calmed down and asked.

"We can give up Liyang and Cangcheng to the King of Qi." Chen Rui said, "But the condition is that the King of Qi must come to Liyang in person, and he must personally sit in Liyang Cang. ”

Yuan Wuben scoffed, "This was originally their wishful thinking, but we can't let it, this concession is not Liyang and Cangcheng, but our lives." ”

"What we can think of, of course King Qi will think of it." Chen Rui said, "Just as Yue Gong doesn't believe in Li Zixiong, does King Qi believe in Li Zixiong?" Do you think that the King of Qi will come to Liyang in person, and even sit in Liyang Cang in person? ”

After Yuan Wuben pondered for a while, he guessed Li Zixiong's intentions, and he was somewhat sure of his analysis. There must have been a secret agreement between Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, and King Qi, which is obvious and undoubted, but judging from the exhibition of the form, King Qi violated the agreement for the sake of his own interests, which was obviously because of the lack of trust between them.

King Qi may not be bluffing, or he may have the advantage of having both fish and bear's paws, so that he can occupy the advantage of worry-free advance and retreat, but now Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun are tied to Yang Xuangan's chariot, and both losses and prosperity are lost, at this time, King Qi suddenly broke his promise and changed the established strategy, which is equivalent to stabbing Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun in the back, and Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun of course have to fight back. Judging from Li Zixiong's countermeasures, Li Zixiong is willing to take a step back and allow King Qi to bluff, but that's all, otherwise once the two sides turn their faces and fight, they will fight each other, and both sides will lose. However, in the current situation, if Li Zixiong wants to achieve his goal, he must fight with the King of Qi and let the King of Qi test his bottom line, and only in this way can the King of Qi be forced to compromise.

"Are you sure this is not Li Zixiong's conspiracy?" Yuan Wuben hesitated for a long time, but still asked unwillingly.

Chen Rui knew Yuan Wuben's mood, on the surface, it seemed that the initiative changed hands and it was a loss of control over the situation, but in fact, it was Yan zhòng who endangered the success or failure of the mutiny, and this was the key. For Yuan Wuben, the most important thing is to stick to Liyang, and the longer he sticks to it, the better, and the reason why he is unwilling to give up Liyangcang and unwilling to believe in Li Zixiong is also the reason.

Chen Rui had to appease Yuan Wuben, not only for the safety of Li Fengyun and the main force of the alliance on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, but also to maintain the cooperation between the three parties on the battlefield of Liyang, and only cooperation could win each other.

After thinking for a while, Chen Rui asked categorically, "In the current situation, even if we do our best, how long can we hold Liyang?" Ten days, twenty days, or more? ”

This is also a problem that Yuan Wuben has always considered, and it is also the fundamental reason why he resolutely compromised today. How long can the three parties work together to hold Liyang? Yuan Wu couldn't guess, but one thing was certain, as the situation in the eastern capital gradually became clearer, the time for Liyang to hold on was numbered. And from Chen Rui's words, Yuan Wuben heard something unusual, Li Zixiong and Chen Rui didn't have much confidence in sticking to Liyang, and if they didn't work, they would leave. In this case, Li Zixiong still needs to play conspiracy? No need, he just needs Liyang Cang, just make sure that he has a way out, at the same time, this is also the reason why Li Zixiong decided to compromise and make concessions to King Qi, since he will definitely not be able to hold Liyang and Liyang Cang, sooner or later the Liyang battlefield will be in the pocket of the Weifu army, then at the critical moment, give Liyang and Liyang Cang to the King of Qi, wouldn't it just form a situation of two tigers competing for each other, giving Li Zixiong and the alliance army the opportunity to calmly withdraw from the Liyang battlefield.

"How long does Li Zixiong plan to hold on?"

"The strength of the Hebei army is limited, and it is impossible for Cui Hongsheng to attack with all his might, so we are not afraid of Cui Hongsheng, but after Chen Ling of Zhuojun is killed, the shape is completely different, in the face of the attack of the strong Youzhou border army, even if we can hold on for a period of time, but the losses are very amazing, and more importantly, the army of the king of Qi is watching from the sidelines, if we don't evacuate in time, we will definitely die in Liyang in the end."

Chen Rui's meaning is very clear, when the army of Zhuojun arrives in Liyang, Li Zixiong and the alliance army will be ready to evacuate, that is to say, in the best case, Li Zixiong will hold Liyang until the end of this month, which is the limit.

Yuan Wuben suddenly realized that because he faithfully carried out Yang Xuangan's order, he used Liyangcang to hold Li Zixiong and the alliance hostage, trying to force them to use them for his own use, but he did not fulfill his promise to open the door of Liyangcang to the alliance, and wasted precious time in vain, and this waste of time was a fatal blow to the alliance, and the alliance failed to loot the food it needed as it wished, and finally forced the alliance to use force to storm Liyangcang. The alliance was furious, and could no longer find any reason to do everything in their power to help Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong hold on to Liyang. Li Zixiong may want to hold on for a few more days, but the alliance army is unwilling to pay the price no matter what, since you have broken your trust in me, of course I will not keep my promise again.
