Chapter 472 There is only one way
On June 13th, early morning, Liyang City.
Li Zixiong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news from Chen Rui. Yuanwuben paid a heavy price for his wealthy family and the nobles' self-esteem, and finally "played" himself to death on the battlefield of Liyang. Fortunately, he had not lost his mind yet and knew how to understand the current affairs. He compromised at the critical moment. The alliance took into account Li Fengyun's safety and could stop, otherwise Yuanwuben would have disappeared.
Now the gate of Liyangcang has finally opened, and the alliance army began to plunder wildly. The army of Qinghe Haoshang Zhang Jin, also joined. After dawn, more than 100,000 relatives, craftsmen, civilians, elderly, weak, women and children, who were stranded on the white horse battlefield, could finally cross the river and go north and join this "feast" of looting.
Han Yao was still angry and resentful, and his resentment towards Yuan Wuben increased. "If he kept his promise and opened Cang City for us, we could rob Liyang Cang at least eight days in advance. How much did we lose in eight days?"
Li Zixiong glanced at him, his eyes showing a sarcastic look and said nothing.
According to the agreement of the three parties, Yuanwuben provided food and supplies to the alliance, but this was limited, which only ensured that the alliance needed more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, rather than open supply, nor was it allowed the alliance to plunder wildly. However, according to the current alliance's plundering speed, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians rushed forward, and the gains of the day's plundering far exceeded the normal supply in the past eight days. Therefore, Han Yao should not resent Yuanwuben, but should thank him. If Yuanwuben had not been breach of trust, the alliance would not be able to betray Cangcheng, under the banner of the Qinghe thief Zhang Jin, and plundered it in a legitimate manner.
There is more important thing, robbery is done? Where can the robbery be placed and how to ensure its safety? When the Guardian Army arrived, where will the alliance retreat? How can the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians be ensured? Therefore, robbing Liyangcang is not a simple robbery, but a comprehensive plan related to the alliance's northward development. Every step is planned, linked together, and no mistake can be made.
The alliance with Zhang Jin said that the attack on Li Yangcang with the Qinghe Rebel Army was not a temporary intention, but the establishment of the alliance. After the storm, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would definitely pursue the robbery of Li Yangcang. If the Guard Army followed the alliance and surrounded and suppressed the enemy from all sides, the alliance would be in trouble. Therefore, the alliance must lead the disaster to the east. On the one hand, it was under the banner of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong on the Li Yangcang battlefield and carefully hid it. On the other hand, it joined forces with the Qinghe Rebel Army to attack Li Yangcang, which was blamed on Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin said that he needed to survive and develop and grow. Li Yangcang had too much temptation for him. Even if the alliance's "invitation" was ulterior motives, Zhang Jin said that he could not take care of it. He seized this opportunity first. If he missed this village, there would be no store, and he would have to bet. As for the pursuit of the Guardian Army, it was really common for him. If he didn't attack Li Yangcang, the Guardian Army would not suppress him? Since the Guardian Army had to encircle him anyway, he would of course seize this opportunity to strengthen himself. Therefore, Zhang Jin said that not only came, he also brought more than 100,000 civilians along the way, and came in a vast way, which was very likely to rob Li Yangcang and never give up.
The alliance successfully made a fuss, which gave itself time to go north to fight, but in this process, where were the robbed food? Where were the hundreds of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children hiding? Zhang Jin said that the Qinghe Rebel Army and the civilians they brought in could go home with full load after robbing it. However, the alliance was not good. Without this condition, they must first solve the problem of grain hoarding, and this problem is just a trivial matter for the Hebei heroes.
Hao Xiaode and Liu Heita immediately contacted the rebel brothers in Taihang Mountains. They were actually bandits of the past. Now they have transformed into a tide of uprising and are doing well.
The northwest of Ji County is the Taihang Mountains, with many bandits, among which the strongest hero is Wang Deren, stationed in Linlushan, about 200 miles away from Liyang. After some integration and mergers in the past two years, Wang Deren also pulled up thousands of people, but he was seriously lacking in food and weapons, so the "invitation" of the alliance was a happy and timely rain for him. Wang Deren agreed to all the requirements of the alliance without saying a word. The stolen grain could be stored in Linlushan, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians could temporarily hide in Linlushan. Then Wang Deren came out in full swing and was impatient to kill Liyang. How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rob Liyang Cang?
Also in the Taihang Mountains, there is a Yi army in Fushan, more than 200 miles north of Linlu Mountain. Its predecessor was the bandits in Xiaojiu in Handan, Hebei, Shangdang, southeast of Shanxi, and the area between the two places. Fukouxing is one of the eight passes in Taihang and the only channel connecting Handan and Shangdang. This bandits are robbed and robbed. The merchants in both places are suffering. The governments in both places are also in trouble and have no choice but to offer rewards to be wanted. Therefore, the leader of this team became famous, and Yang Gongqing, the thief of Taihang, was notorious.
Liu Heita used to sell private salt. He was quite famous in Hebei and had a wide range of friendships. Although he had no fate with Yang Gongqing, he had several encounters. Therefore, Liu Heita sent someone to contact Yang Gongqing on behalf of the Alliance and asked him to help the Alliance at the appropriate time. Liu Heita's so-called "help" was actually to ask Yang Gongqing to go down the mountain to rob Handan, Fuyang and Anyang, disrupt the traffic in Wei County and Wu'an County, and attract the attention of local officials. In this way, it gave the Alliance the opportunity to quietly transfer food and people from Linlu Mountain to Handan. As long as the Alliance was transferred to Handan and entered the sphere of influence of the Li family in Zhao County, all aspects would be taken "appropriately" and they would be absolutely sure to successfully move to northern Hebei.
Everything was under the league's calculations, but there were also things beyond the league's expectations. For example, Li Shanheng was an accident, and even Li Zixiong was quite surprised.
The first person who knew that the King of Qi was going to attack Li Yang was Li Zixiong. The source of the news was Li Shanheng. As soon as Li Shanheng's secret book arrived, Li Zixiong immediately guessed that something happened to the King of Qi. The King of Qi must have been determined to go to Beijing to seize the imperial rule, but the Li family in Longxi had a clear understanding of this mutiny and kept a clear mind. At the critical moment, the Li family decisively "taken" and the wealthy family led by Duke Li Hun would never allow the family's thousand-year foundation to be destroyed by a Qi King who was ambitious, stupid and incompetent. However, the supporter of the King of Qi was not only one of the Longxi Li clans, and Li Shanheng's "counterattack" may not prevent the King of Qi from entering the capital. Li Zixiong was anxious and uneasy. For this reason, the King of Qi was too important to him, not only related to his future, but also to the future of the entire Middle Earth.
So now Li Zixiong doesn't care about Li Yangcang at all, and he devotes all his energy to King Qi. Just as he was working hard, Baima sent important information overnight. Dan Tai Wuyang reported urgently. Li Anqi suddenly visited and proposed a new strategy on behalf of King Qi. The situation in Li Yang suddenly became complicated.
"Li Shanheng..." After reading the letter, Li Zixiong became more and more angry as he thought about it. He couldn't help but slap the table on the table and cursed sternly, "The prince has no plans, he is foolish and can't reach.
Han Yao stood aside and was looking at the letter when he suddenly saw Li Zixiong furious and was startled.
Li Zixiong was still unable to relieve his hatred and shouted angrily, "The Li family in Longxi is arrogant and overestimated. One day, the disaster will be caused to the whole family."
Han Yao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that you are also the Li family in Longxi. Although the Bohai House is not prosperous, you are the big man, which is very good. Why do you curse yourself?
Li Zixiong vented his emotions, calmed down a little, and sat there silently.
After reading the letter, Han Yao suddenly realized that he had no idea whether Cheng Jifang of Longxi Li Family was arrogant or overestimated, but Li Shanheng was indeed too arrogant and did not take the King of Qi seriously. After receiving news from Li Shanheng, he thought that the capture of Li Yang was a decision agreed by the King of Qi. Now he realized that it was Li Shanheng's personal behavior, or the family attitude of Cheng Jifang of Longxi Li Family. Although strong ministers and weak ministers will deteriorate the relationship between the king and the ministers, it is not good for strong ministers to deceive the master. The main and the secondary are reversed, and the conflicts between the two sides are irreconcilable, and major events will happen.
"Duke Ming and Duke Shunzheng (Dong Chun) also participated?" Han Yao asked carefully.
At such a critical moment, there was an internal strife within the King of Qi, and there was a tendency to split. This was bad news for Li Zixiong and the alliance. The core of the development strategy for northward development is the King of Qi. If the King of Qi is lost, Li Zixiong will be over. As for the alliance, although it can still go north, if you lose the protection and support of the King of Qi, the road to development will inevitably be difficult.
"In the Wei Mansion, the northwestern family has overtaken half of the sky." Li Zixiong sighed, "and among the northwestern family, the Longxi Li family has overtaken most of the sky."
Han Yao understood it. Dong Chun came from Chengji, Longxi, and Dong clan was the "little brother" of Chengji Fang of Li clan in Longxi. It was a life-and-death friendship passed down from generation to generation. Even if some interests sometimes disturb such friendship, the two families were absolutely in line with each other in the face of big things and big things. As for this matter, Li Shanheng did not need to inform Dong Chun first. If he did, Dong Chun would cooperate tacitly. Even if Dong Chun had different ideas, he would also firmly prevent King Qi from entering the capital. However, in this way, King Qi would distrust his "left arm" and would rely more on Wei Fusi.
"Donald Ming is worried about Wei Fusi?" Han Yao tentatively said.
"I have always been worried that Wei's family will control King Qi." Li Zixiong shook his head and sneered, "I can be sure that behind Li Shanheng's out of control, there must be Wei Fusi's black hand."
"Since that's the case, then cut this black hand." Han Yao said, "The King of Qi must meet with Duke Shunzheng (Dong Chun), and Wei Fusi is alone and can only cut it with one sword."
Li Zixiong looked contemptuous. If killing people could solve the problem, the world would be so complicated? Killing Wei Fusi, he cut off the trust of the King of Qi in the Li family in Longxi. If there is no trust, why should we talk about cooperation?
"The King of Qi is not a fool. He will not enter Beijing until the time is not right." Li Zixiong said, "But he will not come to Liyang. The Li family in Longxi has already made their position. Once it falls under the hands of Li Shanheng, there will be no possibility of entering Beijing again, so the King of Qi will soon rush to the White Horse. When the King of Qi arrives in the White Horse, he can take care of both Liyang and pay attention to the Dongdu. He will kill two birds with one stone, but you will not be able to stick to the White Horse and can't stand it. You can only cross the Hebei region to retreat."
"With the white horse, our retreat will be cut off." Han Yao said with a frown.
"The King of Qi is about to cut off your retreat." Li Zixiong said, "Only by cutting off your retreat, he can have a retreat. The same is true for Li Shanheng's plan. Although the goal is Li Yang, the result is that you will cut off your retreat."
Han Yao shook his head and said firmly, "The alliance will never be able to hand over fate to King Qi."
"Then you only have one way." Li Zixiong said, "Snatch Li Yang Cang and go north decisively."
Han Yao showed a look of struggle. King Qi's move was too ruthless, which destroyed the alliance's established strategy and forced the alliance to go north early. The direct consequence of the alliance's advance north north early was to leave Li Fengyun and the alliance's main force on the battlefield of the Dongdu.
What should Li Fengyun do? The possibility of breaking through the siege is too small. Instead of being wiped out on the way to break through, it is better to make a world on the battlefield of Dongdu. In other words, the purpose of the King of Qi is to force Li Fengyun to put his life to death, forcing him to join forces with Yang Xuangan to capture Dongdu. After taking down Dongdu, he will have the "capital" to bargain with Xijing. Once the two capitals join forces, the King of Qi is the first candidate for the new emperor.
On the contrary, if Li Fengyun is defeated and Yang Xuangan's mutiny fails, the King of Qi will immediately chase and kill the Alliance. The Alliance is about to collapse because of the loss of Li Fengyun. It is no match for the King of Qi at all, and it will definitely be wiped out. Therefore, the King of Qi will have great contributions. Although it cannot fundamentally improve his political situation, at least there will be no worries about life in the short term.
The King of Qi was betrayal for his own interests and showed a fierce face, and wanted to squeeze out all Li Fengyun and the Alliance. Li Fengyun is now far away in the battlefield of Dongdu. The Alliance would not be able to resist the influx of the Guards. If it weren't for the outbreak of internal conflicts between the King of Qi and Li Zixiong was willing to help him in order to survive, the Alliance was really helpless and could only let him slaughter.
"What should I do in the east capital?" Han Yao asked, "Without Li Fengyun, the alliance will be divided and no longer exists."
Li Zixiong smiled, "Are you worried about him? I can tell you with certainty that he will not die, and the alliance will not lose him."
