Chapter 256: There is a problem with King Qi's emotional intelligence

On that day, the Rebel Alliance entered the Tongji Canal very quickly, and today the Rebel Alliance withdrew from the Tongji Canal even faster; on that day, the Rebel Alliance followed Ji, and captured cities and villages on the front line, with unstoppable momentum. Today, the Rebel Alliance followed Ji, and He stepped back, and all towns were given up.

King Yang Nan of Qi commanded 20,000 troops to sweep across Ji with a destruction and destruction. He was invincible on the front line and was invincible and defeated. Within a few days, the entire Jiyin territory was basically recovered. Only Jinxiangcheng downstream of Heshui was still controlled by the rebels.

King Yang Nan of Qi reported to Jiedong Capital with a strong momentum, threatening to kill the white-haired thieves within half a month and wipe out the rebels in southwestern Shandong.

Wei Yunqi, the censor of the Secretary, took advantage of the great victory in the fight against the rebellion and returned to Dongdu with great enthusiasm.

Three months later, if the Eastern Expedition fails and the King of Qi officially implements the strategy of staying outside the home, then the Wei family's support in the Eastern Capital will be crucial. The King of Qi has too many political enemies, and even the Holy Lord will try every means to imprison him. Therefore, if the King of Qi does not have the support of the Wei family and other local forces in Guanlong, he will not be able to stay outside the home alone, let alone develop. Wei Yunqi quickly returns to the Eastern Capital, and wants to discuss the development of the King of Qi in the Eastern Capital and Xijing, and seek benefits and avoid harm, and come up with specific countermeasures. If the Eastern Expedition is victorious, he may have to give up the King of Qi. Otherwise, they will respond to the King of Qi inside and outside and do their best to help the King of Qi win the imperial rule.

As soon as Wei Yunqi arrived in Junyi City, he received an urgent report from the battlefield of Ji and He that the government army suffered a severe blow.

During the retreat, the rebel alliance was divided into two. Li Fengyun led the main force of the inner government to Dongping County, lurking Juyeze and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. The army of the three outer government retreated to the junction of Lu County, Pengcheng and Jiyin County, defending the four cities of Jinxiang, Gaoping, Fangheguting, and relying on the four waterways of Heshui, Sishui, Henggongdu and Shui to build a solid defense, attracting the main force of the official army in the He and Si areas. Just as the King of Qi was commanding the army to attack Jinxiang, Li Fengyun led the three armies of the inner government to leave Juyeze and quietly heading south along the Jishui River. With a thunderous force, he captured Dingtao in one fell swoop, and then robbed all the food and grass weapons stored in the city, and then attacked Jiyin Capital. When the King of Qi heard the news, he quickly divided his troops to support Jiyin. Li Fengyun besieged the city and set up an ambush in the middle of the journey, and caught the support of the official army off guard. Two thousand troops were defeated and almost wiped out the entire army.

Overnight, the battlefields of Ji and He suddenly changed, and the situation of suppressing the rebellion suddenly deteriorated. The King of Qi had no choice but to retreat to Jiyin, and at the same time, he urgently reported to the Dongdu, begging Dongdu to urgently allocate food and grass weapons for support.

Yang Nan was very angry and wished to take Li Fengyun alive. Li Fengyun slapped him so hard that he not only made him bruised and swollen, but also made his army under him have to attack and defence due to lack of food and grass weapons, and all his previous advantages were lost.

When he returned to Jiyin and saw Wei Baoluan with a frustrated look on his face, Yang Nan couldn't help but roar, "How could Dingtao fall? Jiyin and Dingtao are only separated by a river, and the two cities are only more than twenty miles apart. What are you when the white-haired thieves attack Dingtao? Where is your army? Why can't you rescue it for more than twenty miles? Why did you fail to rescue the white-haired thieves capture Dingtao and plunder the food, grass and supplies in the city? Tell Gu, why did he suffer such a crushing defeat? Is Gu's command unfavorable, or did you deliberately instigate the enemy and attack Gu's back?"

Wei Baoluan had been full of anger, but the defeat of the war made the King of Qi lose face. He was responsible for his feelings and reason. He was still very worried at the beginning. When the King of Qi roared like this, Wei Baoluan's anger that was held in his heart suddenly burst out.

"I have said a long time ago that the white-haired thief is a man-eating wolf. Never fall into his trap of seducing the enemy, but..."

Wei Baoluan didn't want to add fuel to the fire, which made Yang Nan lose his mind. He didn't say anything afterwards, and he stopped. Wei Baoluan did advise him at the beginning, asking King Qi to be cautious, but King Qi believed that he had 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands and was invincible. The white-haired thief was vulnerable, so he didn't listen at all. He chased the rebels and attacked them all the way, and he would not give up until he drove the white-haired thief back to Mengshan. He had long thrown his promise with the white-haired thief behind his head, but he fell into a trap and suffered heavy losses.

"What are you seducing the enemy? With the strength of the rebels, how can you seduce the enemy?" Yang Nan became even more angry and pointed at Wei Baoluan's nose and shouted, "Tell Gu, why did you not support Dingtao in time?"

"The white-haired thief was blocking heavily on the other side of the river, and there were only one thousand people. He wanted to defend the city and rescue him, and he was powerless."

"I am helpless? The lonely food, grass and supplies are all in Dingtao. Don't you know? Dingtao is more important than your capital, don't you know?"

"If the white-haired thief pulls the tiger away from the mountain and attacks with all his might, wouldn't he be able to hit the thief's plan?" Wei Baoluan defended, "If the white-haired thief loses Jiyin and fails to rescue Dingtao, wouldn't the white-haired thief cut off the retreat of the army and puts the main force in the siege of the rebels?"

Yang Nan was so angry that his face turned red, "There are so many powerful generals under the tent and countless brave soldiers. How could he be surrounded by the rebels? Even if the rebels are surrounded by the rebels, what can the white-haired thief do to me?"

Wei Baoluan was also so angry that his eyes turned pale. This King of Qi was indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, he was pampered and had never been to the battlefield. He was only arrogant and arrogant, talking about war on paper, and a typical example of gold and jade on the outside, but also a broken bun.

"I said that Dingtao must be stationed heavily, and Jiyin must also deploy heavy troops. As for attacking Jinxiangcheng, it is enough to have General Li Lang, because when leaving Jinxiang, it is Lu County, which is Duan Wencao's defense area, which is the territory of Qi people, and the south is Pengcheng, which is the defense area of ​​Liang Dezhong and Cui Deben, and the territory of Xuzhou."

Wei Baoluan still said half of the words, and the other half could not be said. It would stimulate Yang Nan. The King of Qi would not even know some basic common sense, right? It was not that the King of Qi did not know, but after leaving the capital, his desire for power was over-inflated, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted, thinking that all local nobles and local officials would look up to him and obey him. As a result, many common sense things were directly ignored.

According to the decision of the Dongdu, the scope of King Qi's departure from Beijing to suppress the rebellion was the Tongji Canal line, mainly in Henan. Therefore, even if the King of Qi had to follow and chase the rebels, he could not exceed the territory of Henan. Of course, King Qi could ignore the Dongdu. After all, he would not accept the orders of the king. He could take action first and then report. However, the army had military rules, and there were more local rules. King Qi could ignore the Dongdu, but he could not ignore the local government and the local Yingyang Mansion, otherwise he would be unable to move around everywhere.

Without the consent of the Holy Lord and the Dongdu, if the King of Qi wants to enter Qilu and Xuzhou to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves, he must first win the permission of the military and political chiefs of these two places. This is the basic law and the minimum etiquette. Qilu is the defense area of ​​the right guardian palace, and is now under the deputy general manager of the navy. Qiao Gong Zhou Fashang temporarily handles the garrison duties. In addition, because there are too many rebels in Qilu, the task of suppressing the thieves is heavy, such as Duan Wencao, the prefect of Lu County, and Zhang Xutuo, the prefect of Qi County, temporarily takes the military power. Xuzhou is the defense area of ​​Zuoxiaowei Palace,

Now the Hu Ben Lang General Liang Dezhong is acting as the important task of garrison, and the Pengcheng County Magistrate Cui Baode is temporarily in charge of military power. These people are affiliated with different political groups and have different political interests. In addition, there are local forces and local interests that both the superiors are troubled by. Therefore, if the King of Qi does not have the reasons to accept them, there is no possibility of entering these two places without sufficient benefits, and without the conditions to impress them, it is impossible to enter these two places, let alone develop their own strength in these two places.

The King of Qi wanted to develop outside the country, and in Henan, Qilu and Xuzhou, but these three places were not the sphere of influence of the King of Qi, so the King of Qi must first achieve "residence", first gain a foothold in Henan, and then through a series of operations, reach a compromise with the people of Qilu and Xuzhou, and do their best to extend their power to these two major regions before they can talk about development. The premise of development is that the King of Qi must win the support of the local forces of these three places, otherwise, if there is no development, he can't even stand and can't even achieve "residence". The local forces in Henan, Qilu and Xuzhou are very powerful. If any local force confronts the King of Qi head-on, it will inevitably cause violent local turmoil, which is unacceptable to the Holy Lord and Dongdu. The final outcome is that the King of Qi was forced back to Beijing and the strategy of developing outside the country failed.

Why did Li Fengyun make this agreement during the negotiations and Wei Fusi accept it? This is the reason.

Therefore, Wei Baoluan's meaning is very obvious. He will stop fighting when he reaches Jinxiang. According to the agreement with Li Fengyun, the two sides confront each other, and then according to the development of the situation, fight when it should be fought, and do their own things when it should not be fought. What should King Qi do? It is not to suppress the thieves, not to fight, or to decide the winner with Li Fengyun on the battlefield, but to find ways to gain a foothold in Henan first, and carry out a series of operations at the same time, extending the sphere of influence to Qilu and Xuzhou. To achieve this goal, it not only takes time, but also time, especially the appropriate cooperation of the general trend at home and abroad, and none of the necessary factors such as the right time, place, and people are missing.

But what is the King of Qi now? He is fighting and robbing the work of the Hu Ben Lang General Li Shanheng. He is happy with what he shouldn't be, and he shouldn't be. He puts the cart before the cart before the cart. What is the result of putting the cart before the cart? It is the breaking of the secret agreement, which angered Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun did not hesitate and chopped on the King of Qi's shoulder with one knife, chopping him to the bone and slashing blood. But even so, the King of Qi did not "wake up" and still jumped and roared like a madman, which made Wei Baoluan very disappointed. Can the King of Qi be helped up like this?

"Don't be impatient." The silent Wei Fusi finally spoke.

His words are more effective than Wei Baoluan's words, but from the attack on the King of Qi and his mind became hot, he never said anything. His purpose was to see how much the "real" King of Qi was, and the result was terrible. However, he knew that King of Qi was talented and lacked practice, and was tempered in a difficult environment.

From the perspective of educating children, Wei Fusi believed that the late emperor was better than the Holy Lord. Children could not become talented in a greenhouse, they had to be free and had to be given opportunities to practice. However, the late emperor had done it, and several children had become talented and had a greater ambition. There was nothing they dared to do. As a result, father and son were slaughtering each other, brothers were fighting each other, and human tragedies were staged one after another. The Holy Lord learned the lessons, but also did it, raising the children in an airtight greenhouse was not education, but imprisonment. As a result, Yang Nan, who had been extremely intelligent since childhood, became like this now, and his age was almost up, but in many aspects he was still a child.
