Chapter 438: Catastrophe in the End

Cui Zhen and Cui Chuzhi immediately "divided into two roads", all the way to visit Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, and all the way to the Weifu to report to Zheng Yuanshou, the Duke of Xinguo.

Yang Gongren's comeback is because of Cui Zhen, and the reason why Cui Zhen invited this "great god" is a forced game-breaking move, and it is also a move to take advantage of the trend. Once the eastern capital is in danger of falling, Yang Gongren and the clan forces will definitely come forward and fight to protect the country, but at that time, even if Yang Gongren forms an alliance with the Cui family, he will keep a considerable distance, so as not to form a suspicion of "standing in line" and involve himself in the battle for the imperial throne too early, but Cui Zhen "shot" in advance, taking advantage of the fact that the crisis has not completely exploded, the situation in the eastern capital can still be controlled, and Yang Gongren can also monopolize the military and political power of the eastern capital in the name of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and use this power to prepare for the defense of the eastern capital in advance. Yang Gongren was successfully "invited", which actually caused the suspicion that Yang Gongren was "standing in line" in the battle for the imperial unification, which won the opportunity for Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to compete for the imperial unification, and more importantly, created better conditions for the Cui family to safeguard their vested interests.

Today's Boling Cui clan is deeply trapped in the "whirlpool" of the imperial system, the rise and fall of the Cui family, the future of the Shandong people, have been firmly tied together with the imperial competition, if there is one person in the Zhao Wang Yang Gao and Yue Wang Yang Tong assisted by the Cui family, then the Cui family and Shandong will usher in a new glory, which corresponds to the success or failure of the Weishi in Guanzhong, and the future of the Guanlong people, which is also closely related to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Yang Yu, the acting king. Against this political background, the new round of struggle for imperial unification is actually the dispute between the Boling Cui clan and the Guanzhong Wei clan, the dispute between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people, and in essence the dispute between the reformers and the conservatives.

As the new generation leader of the clan political group, Yang Gongren is of course unwilling to "stand in line" too early, and is unwilling to involve himself in this sinister political game when he has not yet "digested" the political legacy left by his father Yang Xiong and his uncle Yang Da, and has not yet fully controlled the political power of the clan and its surroundings. This is enough to show that the major political groups in the two capitals have a very tacit agreement to put the eastern capital to death, once the eastern capital is turned into ruins in the future storm, it will not only be the holy lord and the reformers who will suffer heavy losses, but also the great cause of the Yang family's national zuo and reunification, and even the collapse of the national zuo and the collapse of the reunification may be possible. In desperation, Yang Gongren had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, knowing that Cui Zhen was designing to use himself and digging a pit for himself, he could only jump down, even if he dug his own grave, he admitted it, after all, compared with the survival of Guozuo, personal losses are really insignificant.

Cui Zhen "got cheap" and couldn't "sell well", he had to show sincerity to cooperate, and he had to implement Yang Gongren's suspicion of "standing in line", so that he could really become the supporting force of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, for this reason, Cui Zhen did his best to cooperate with Yang Gongren and help Yang Gongren actually control the power of the Eastern Capital, and Yang Gongren also accepted Cui's sincerity of cooperation, after all, cooperation is not an alliance, from the purpose of sticking to the Eastern Capital to protect the country, sincere cooperation is still necessary, but even so, Yang Gongren, Cui Zhen, Still did not have the grasp and confidence to hold the eastern capital.

When Cui Zhen told Yang Gongren the news that Yang Xuangan had raised troops in Liyang on the third day of the junior high school and ordered him to attack the eastern capital, a strong sense of foreboding quickly occupied Yang Gongren's entire body and mind, making him feel a sense of despair in addition to anger, although he had expected and guessed, but after all, it was an expectation, a guess, an imaginary assumption, not a ruthless and cruel fact.

Yang Gongren also has an "eyeliner" in Liyang, and there are constantly various news, but this time his "eyeliner" obviously does not have Cui's "eyeliner" to work, so heavy news was not transmitted in the first time, but Yang Gongren has no intention of being held accountable now, what he desperately wants to know is whether the Hanoi army will defect, whether the Hanoi wealthy family will betray, whether Yang Xuangan's army will be unimpeded in Hanoi, kill Heyang like a gallop, and then cross the river and come to the eastern capital, taking himself by surprise.

The atmosphere in the room was very dull and depressing, it was already very hot, but now it was even hotter, Yang Gongren was sweating, and Cui Zhen was also sweating profusely.

Yang Gongren took the lead in breaking the silence, "I want to know ......" Yang Gongren's expression was stern, his eyes were sharp, and his tone was even colder, "What is Hebei's position?" ”

Cui Zhen shook the pu fan and said without thinking, "Huang Taigong (Cui Hongsheng) is currently ......"

"Huang Taigong can't represent Hebei." Yang Gongren unceremoniously interrupted Cui Zhen's words, "If the will of Huang Taigong is the will of Hebei, then why have Hebei thieves repeatedly suppressed injustice in the past two years, and why has the situation in Hebei deteriorated?" Hebei thieves are so rampant, of course Yang Xuangan has to make good use of them, the two wolves are treacherous, they are in cahoots, and they hit it off, which is obvious. ”

Cui Zhen immediately made a decision, and said in an unquestioning tone, "A certain person can make a promise on behalf of Huangtai Gong and the Boling Cui clan that Hebei is absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord." ”

Yang Gongren suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of relief quietly flashed in his eyes. Hebei's position is very important, once Hebei supports Yang Xuangan, and the Hebei people make every effort to intercept the Holy Lord from returning to the division to quell the rebellion, then Yang Xuangan will be able to win more time on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, so that the major political groups in the two capitals will win more opportunities to make profits, so it will be difficult for the Eastern Capital to hold on, and it will be difficult to preserve the national Zuo, and war and division will inevitably follow, and darkness will come to Middle-earth again.

"I know that Huang Taigong is currently suppressing thieves in the river." Yang Gongren said, "If Huangtai Gong receives the bad news that Yang Xuangan raised troops to rebel, Liyang has fallen, and Yongji Canal has been interrupted, so he will go south day and night to quell the rebellion, it will take at least ten days, that is, he will not arrive at Liyang until at least around the fifteenth and attack Liyang." ”

Cui Xun nodded frequently and agreed with what Yang Gongren said.

But Yang Gongren's face was ugly when he said this, and there was a bit of pathos in his low tone, "It is certain that in the next ten days or so, the situation in Dongdu and even Gyeonggi will undergo earth-shaking changes." Yang Xuangan will definitely be able to kill under the Eastern Capital, there is no doubt about this, there is no power to stop it, and the only thing that can be done is to leave the army loyal to the Holy Lord in the city and defend the Eastern Capital with them. In addition, the king of Qi will definitely be able to attack the Tongji Canal, and the Chen soldiers will be outside the defense line of the moat, and the only thing that can be counted on is the king of Xun (Yang Qing) and the Duke of Anyang (Cui Baode), hoping that they will keep the king of Qi out of Jinggi. There is also the acting king, he must be in the Tongguan, Xijing's army must make a situation of supporting the eastern capital, but you know, once the army of Xijing enters the battlefield of the eastern capital, the situation in the entire eastern capital will be out of control, and the eastern capital may collapse without a fight in the fierce game of all forces, and once the eastern capital falls, the imperial system will inevitably change, the civil war will inevitably explode, and the lives will be ruined, and then we will die without atonement. ”

Cui Zhen comprehended. Yang Gongren put forward three conditions, delaying Yang Xuangan's entry into Beijing, preventing the king of Qi from entering Beijing, and trying every means to prevent the acting king from entering Beijing. These three conditions are difficult to achieve, especially to prevent the acting king from entering Beijing and preventing the Xijing army from entering Tongguan, which is simply an impossible task.

"Gao Du Gong (Li Gongting) has arrived in Heyang, Wu Yalang will Gao Bi is also about to arrive at Linqing Pass, and Wencheng Sima Clan and other Hanoi giants are not yet clear in the shape of the Eastern Capital, especially under the influence of the Hebei people who are resolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, it is absolutely impossible to support Yang Xuangan at the risk of dying and annihilating, so the defense in the direction of Hanoi is still quite strong." Cui Xuan said, "However, in order to kill the eastern capital as quickly as possible, Yang Xuangan will not only choose one attack direction in Hanoi, once the attack is blocked, he will inevitably cross the river nearby, and then enter Luoshui from the big river." Yang Xuangan has a large number of ships in his hands, and he can easily send troops into Gyeonggi, so he thinks that the Luoshui defense line is our biggest weakness. ”

The Luoshui defense line was originally garrisoned by Li Hun, the general of the right Xiaowei, but now because the thief commander Han Xiangguo captured the Yique Pass and broke through the Gyeonggi defense line, Li Hun and his main force Yingyang went to the Yique battlefield in the south of Gyeonggi, and the number of defensive troops in the Luoshui defense line was greatly reduced. A few days ago, Yang Gongren adjusted the defense arrangements of Gyeonggi, and in order to strengthen the defensive force of the Tiger Prison Pass in Xingyang, he once again transferred troops from the Luoshui defense line, and the troops that supplemented the Luoshui defense line were all the newly established Gyeonggi local army, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Yang Gongren said no. The focus of his defense is on the east and west directions of Gyeonggi, which is to prevent the king of Qi and the king of Dai from entering Beijing, and to control the crisis of the eastern capital within a certain range, so Yang Xuangan will definitely be able to kill the eastern capital, and he will definitely be able to join forces with the thief Han Xiangguo, but as long as the king of Qi and the acting king do not enter Beijing, tens of thousands of elite Weifu troops will not enter the battlefield of the eastern capital, and only the army of Yang Xuangan and the thief Han Xiangguo will not be able to take the eastern capital at all. This is an obvious thing, of course Cui Zhen knows that the reason why he grasped Yang Gongren's "weakness" is to clearly tell him that he has no way to delay Yang Xuangan's entry into Beijing.

"When the King of Qi arrived at Tongji Canal, Huangtai Gong (Cui Hongsheng) also arrived at Liyang, and as long as Huangtai Gong recovered Liyang, he could cross the river and enter Gyeonggi, and to the east he could support Xingyang to block the King of Qi from entering Beijing, and to the west he could echo with the inside and outside of the Eastern Capital and attack Yang Xuangan." Cui Zhen continued, "In addition, don't forget the white thief, if Liyang is willing to exchange the grain in Liyang's warehouse for the white thief's containment attack on the King of Qi, then Liyang can not only avoid being caught in the north-south attack between Huangtai Gong and King Qi, but also buy more time for Yang Xuangan, who is attacking the Eastern Capital. ”

A trace of murderous aura swept through Yang Gongren's eyes uncontrollably. Hebei people have ill intentions, you can hear from Cui Zhen's words, the white thief is an important chess piece in their hands, if this chess piece is used well, although it can contain the king of Qi, but Liyang is also difficult to recover, and Liyang can not be attacked for a long time, it will inevitably give those counterinsurgency troops from the north and south to delay on the north bank of the river with a sufficient excuse, so that the variables on the battlefield in the eastern capital will be great, and the shape will inevitably deteriorate day by day and even out of control.

"When the acting king enters Beijing depends on the exhibition of the political situation in Xijing." Cui Zhen sighed bitterly, "Dongdu can't stop the king from entering Beijing, and Duke Xin (Zheng Yuanshou) is also unable to hold on to Tongguan, and this is where we are helpless." Xijing can replace the eastern capital, but the eastern capital cannot replace Xijing, and the hidden dangers left by the relocation of the capital will eventually cause a catastrophe today
