"Now the Guanlong people have forced you to a dead end, and have to mutiny and survive, but if you are lucky and unwilling to give most of your future interests to Guanlong people, you will be defeated." Li Fengyun continued, "I came from Qilu to help you find a glimmer of life in the fate of destruction. The vitality is to take down Dongdu as quickly as possible and hold on to the city. When the situation becomes clear, you will compromise with the Guanlong people and join forces with the Guanlong people to compete with the Holy Lord. Of course, in this way, your future interests will be greater, but compared to the result of your ashes after the failure of the mutiny, these losses are nothing and can be fully affordable."

Li Mi looked at Li Fengyun with a dull look, and her mouth was stunned.

Indeed, Li Fengyun's deduction was correct. At the critical moment of life and death, if Yang Xuangan and the core members of the mutiny wanted to maintain the survival of their political group, they had to "surrender" to the Guanlong people. However, will they "surrender"? Will the Guanlong people accept their "surrender"?

"Now, do you still have any doubts about our cooperation?" Li Fengyun asked.

Li Mi realized that no matter how hard he "worked", he could not overcome the obstacle of Li Fengyun, so he decided to temporarily lie dormant, "You must keep your promise."

"I can promise you that as long as Yang Xuangan is undefeated, as long as he is willing to let someone stay in the Dongdu battlefield, he will not cross the river to the north." Li Fengyun said solemnly, "But in the future, if Yang Xuangan wants someone to leave the Dongdu battlefield, or order someone to cross the river to the north and block the official army in Henoi or Hebei, he cannot be said to have violated his promise."

Li Mi agreed immediately that the two sides would cooperate on this, and Li Fengyun's first request was to disclose Li Mi's true identity among the top leaders of the alliance. Li Mi's identity is noble. After it is disclosed, it can directly affect the morale of the alliance army and increase the confidence of the alliance's senior leaders in the Dongdu mutiny. More importantly, this will also help Li Mi exert his influence on the league's senior leaders and help increase the trust between the two sides in cooperation.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Mi agreed. After the end of the Rushui War, he revealed his true identity. He twice "clubs" at the top of the alliance with Liu Zhiyuan and knew the core members of the alliance around Li Fengyun. In fact, everyone had some speculations about his identity, but they were "tactful" and no one wanted to break this window paper. Now, because of the situation, Li Mi himself must break this window paper, otherwise it would inevitably affect this cooperation and Li Fengyun's overall planning on the battlefield in the Dongdu.

The battle of Rushui came much faster than Li Mi imagined. Just over two hours later, the scouts in front heard news that they found the official army of Xiangcheng County in the direction of Jiacheng at the junction of the two counties more than 40 miles away. Judging from the scale of the camps built by the official army, there were about two or three thousand people. As for how many Yingyang Guards were in the camp and how many local armed forces in the villages were, we still need to further investigate.

Without any hesitation, Li Fengyun immediately ordered the Hu Ben Army, the Cavalry Army and the Alliance First Army, who were walking in the front, to immediately put down all the baggage and run wildly, and must enter the battlefield before dawn, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a raid on the enemy. He also ordered the Fengyun Army and the Alliance Fourth Army to follow the elected army and seize the opportunity to kill and strive to wipe out the official army. Li Fengyun hopes that this battle will be clean and neat, and it is best to block the news and give the army the opportunity to go north to attack the city and capture the village.

This was a battle without any suspense. The alliance had an absolute advantage in military strength, and was unintentional. At the time of dawn, when the government army was still sleeping soundly, it caught the enemy off guard by the Xiangcheng County official army. Compared with the battle of Bianshui, the alliance army won more easily in this battle, because the Lu army led by Li Min once fought with the alliance army on the Qilu battlefield and had a certain combat effectiveness. The Xiangcheng County official army had not been on the battlefield for many years and had not experienced the tempering of life and death. Even the winter military training once a year, it can be imagined how tragic the ending would be when it met a group of roaring tigers and wolves.

The soldiers are very fast. Under the urging of Li Fengyun and the cooperation of Li Mi, the alliance army roared north like a rush, and the road was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, and the enemy was invincible.

Chengxiu, the capital of Xiangcheng County, was panicked and called the Dongdu urgently. However, it was too late. The alliance army first swept across Nanruyuan, then captured Dongruyuan, completed the encirclement of Chengxiu, and then continued to go north without stopping. The main army arrived at the east bank of Yishui a day later, captured Yanyang with lightning speed, conquered Dangzhi, and crossed the natural barrier defense line. Only more than a hundred miles away from Yiquekou, the pass to the southern pass of the Eastern Capital was left.

How many roads are there from Yiquekou to Dongdu? More than a hundred miles.

From this we can see that when the alliance army under the banner of the Korean Prime Minister attacked Yiquekou, it will inevitably cause a huge shock to the Dongdu and have an immeasurable impact on the political situation of the Dongdu. It will also be a heavy blow to the Holy Lord who resisted the public's objection and the reformists who supported the decision to move the capital. The capital was attacked by rebels, and the power center of the Zhongtuo Central Committee was in a survival crisis. This not only fully proves that the natural barriers and gates around the capital that were exhausted and damaged, which cannot guarantee the East at all.

The security of the capital further proves that moving the capital from Guanzhong to the Central Plains was a huge decision-making mistake, and it also proves that the radical centralized reform ideas adhered to by the Saint Lord and the Reformers are also incorrect. If the conservative forces launch a mutiny in Dongdu and return in the second Eastern Expedition, then the Saint Lord and the Reformers will inevitably fall into an unprecedented crisis of authority and trust under the political blows one after another, and the consequences are completely foreseeable.

The gateway to Gyeonggi was close at hand, and the Alliance army stopped running.

There are two mountains and rivers in front of them. The road is difficult, with a bow and a high capital city, and then Yiquekou. One man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. The attack is very difficult. The soldiers of the alliance rushed for hundreds of miles in one breath. They must stop and take a rest, and prepare for the attack while raising their strength. The senior leaders of the alliance must immediately come up with a practical and effective attack plan. This plan not only avoids excessive casualties, but also attracts and restrains more Dongdu garrison troops. At the same time, they also have to find ways to rush through Yiquekou's natural danger in the shortest time. The troops are facing the Dongdu capital, so it is very difficult. The senior leaders of the alliance need to unify their understanding and work together.

The Alliance Command is located at the forefront, outside Dangjie City on the banks of the Yishui River. It is midsummer and the weather is hot. In order to escape the summer heat, Li Fengyun and the Alliance's senior management moved the military parliament venue to the shade of the river embankment, and everyone sat on the ground and spoke freely.

Li Fengyun grandly introduced Li Mi, Duke of Pushan, and selectively revealed some important secrets around Li Mi and the mutiny alliance led by Duke of Yue Yang Xuangan.

The atmosphere of military discussion suddenly became warm. As Li Fengyun expected, Li Mi's prominent identity played a role in boosting the morale of the army. Li Mi was born in the Liaodongfang of the Li family in Zhaojun. Although he had fought the "world" in Guanlong since his great-grandfather Li Bi, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Kingdom, after the unification of Zhongtu, the children of Shandong wealthy families who had "successful careers" in Guanlong returned to "glorious family members" and Li Bi's lineage was no exception. Even though due to complex political reasons, this branch did not establish a very close interest relationship with the Li family in Zhaojun, this still cannot deny that Li Mi was a "right-rooted" Shandong native. While his identity was revealed, he naturally won the recognition of the senior leaders of the alliance. The rich and handsome men accepted the existence of this special "high-level actor" without exception.

Li Mi talked freely in the military discussion, explaining and analyzing the current situation in the favorable situation to the mutiny, deliberately concealing the latest changes in the political situation of the Dongdu and the dilemma that Li Yang was trapped in. There is no way. In order to ensure morale, we can only report good news but not bad news. The facts are indeed more happy and less happy. After all, the Holy Lord and the Expeditionary Force are fighting in Liaodong, and the Xijing and Guanlong are all paying attention to the Western Xinjiang crisis. The Hebei official army is suppressing the rebels on the Yongji Canal. At present, the only one poses a threat to the rebels is the Dongdu Garrison, and the Dongdu Garrison must protect the Tong.

The security of Jiqu is to fight head-on with the alliance army in Henan, and to block the Han prime minister from Yuzhou in the direction of Yiquekou south of the Gyeonggi. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the Dongdu and Jingji Pass defense passes. The troops are divided into three, and there is no absolute advantage on any battlefield. From this, it can be inferred that even if the rebel army will encounter stubborn obstacles from the official army at Yiquekou, as long as Yang Xuangan raises troops in Liyang and quickly crosses the river and enter Jinggi, and approaches Dongdu, then Dongdu will definitely shrink its defense when its own safety is difficult to protect, so Yique can go down.

Li Mi came up with an attack strategy based on this.

The main force of the alliance took the fastest speed, before Dongdu responded, captured Chuiting and Gaoducheng, and then launched a fierce attack in order to attract and restrain more Dongdu garrison troops to Yiquekou.

After the Korean Prime Minister looted Yingchuan, he immediately led his troops north to enter the battlefields of Dongruyuan and Nanruyuan. While surrounding Chengxiu, the capital of Yingchuan, he swept the areas of Rushui and Yishui as quickly as possible, and strived to "sweep away" the outer towns on the southern line of Gyeonggi in the shortest time, establish a stable "rear", and create the best conditions for the main force to break through Gyeonggi Pass to defend the Dongdu.

The Alliance General Administration, which remained on the front line of Henan and Tongji Canal, and the four front, back, left and right general administrations, were secretly ordered to break through the defense line of the capital and launch an attack on Xingyang, trying every means to force the Dongdu to dispatch troops to support Xingyang.

As a result, the entire Central Plains situation was that the troops of the Rebel Alliance and the Korean Prime Minister launched a clamp-shaped offensive towards the Gyeonggi in the southeast of the Tongji Canal, causing the Dongdu garrison to fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. Li Mi firmly believed that in this crisis, Dongdu would inevitably divide troops to block the enemy and fight on both sides. Dongdu's defensive power would be weakened, which created an opportunity for Li Yang Xuangan to cross the river to attack Dongdu.
