Chapter 507 Surrounding the Eastern Capital

June 20th, the battlefield of the Eastern Capital.

Li Mi rushed to the left-hand guard mansion on the northwest corner of Nanguo in the early morning. This place was currently requisitioned by Li Fengyun and was the location of the Alliance Commander Camp.

"According to the latest news we have received, Wen Sheng, the guard of Xijing, led his army to the Eastern Capital three days ago." Li Mi looked grim, frowned, looked melancholy, and had an anxiety in his tone.

Li Fengyun looked at Li Mi in confusion. It was a good thing that the Xijing army was dispatched, and it was what Yang Xuangan looked forward to most. Logically, Li Mi should be happy, but why can't there be any joy on Li Mi's face?

"This news comes from Xijing, or from Zheng Yuanshou's subordinates?" Li Fengyun asked, "Is it accurate?"

"The news from multiple channels confirmed that the Xijing army was indeed dispatched three days ago." Li Mi replied, "Wei Wensheng insisted on rushing to Dongdu for emergency assistance, but there was great resistance. In anger, he started a massacre in Xijing, chopping off more than 100 heads in one breath, shaking Xijing. The old man was crazy and had lost his mind."

Li Fengyun was surprised. Wei Wensheng came from the Wei family of Luoyang. The ancestor of Wei was Wei Qing, a general of the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and has a history of 6 or 700 years. During the rise of Guanlong, Wei Wensheng's grandfather and father were both members of the Central Committee and the Wei Mansion. Wei Wensheng himself was also quite famous in the military and political circles. Therefore, the Wei family of Luoyang is also a second-rate family with great strength in the Heluo noble group. It is not difficult to see that whether from the historical origin or the regional interests, the Hongnong Yang family and the Luoyang Wei family, which belong to the Heluo noble group, should be close, and Yang Su and Wei Wensheng, who belong to the same era, should also be political allies with good relationships.

During the late emperor period, Wei Wensheng basically served as the chief of military and political affairs in the local area. After the Holy Lord took office, he quickly entered the center, from Wei Weiqing to the Minister of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the Minister of Justice, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of Works, to the General of the Old Qing, to form an alliance, to fill the power vacuum created by the Duke of Yue Yang Su after his death in his illness, and to the internal decision-making level of the central government, Yang Su of the Old Yue Kingdom, to the General of the Central Core Decision and within the Heluo Political Group.

Of course, in theory, this kind of "passing and gang leader" is very good. When Yang Xuangan is older, has higher prestige, has older qualifications, and has stronger control over the Heluo Political Group, Wei Wensheng can retire and enjoy his old age. However, in actual operations, due to the disturbance and impact of factors such as governance concepts, power games, factional strife, and interest struggles, "passing and gang leader" often turns into division and killing.

Judging from the current situation in the two capitals, Wei Wensheng and Yang Xuangan are already in a state of dying. The Heluo noble group has not only split, but also killed each other. The final result is obvious. Even if Yang Xuangan is defeated and Wei Wensheng wins, the Heluo noble group will not recover and will definitely lose its central core position. More importantly, since the Heluo noble group was the core force that promoted the Holy Lord to the throne of the emperor, and then it was one of the important support forces of the Holy Lord, its betrayal was equivalent to a fatal blow to the Holy Lord, seriously shaking the Holy Lord's ruling foundation. The "three-legged" cauldron suddenly broke one leg, can the cauldron still stand?

Wei Wensheng was forced into a dead end by Yang Xuangan and had to kill Yang Xuangan to do his best to save himself and the Heluo noble group. So it is normal for him to be "crazy". When he is at a desperate point, he is of course doing everything he can to do. Where can he have the bottom line?

"He is indeed crazy. He started a massacre of Hongnong Yang's family. The consequences can be imagined." Li Fengyun sighed, "But this is not enough, it is not enough to cause a fatal blow to Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan). Therefore, I think Wei Wensheng will do something even more crazy."

"Even more crazy?" Li Mi sneered, "What else can he do? Can he dare to pull the Hongnong Yang family out of the root?"

Li Fengyun wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't say it. "Wei Wensheng killed so many people in one breath, all of them, both of Yue Gong and your close relatives and friends. The purpose is to anger you and make you lose your mind under the burning of anger, so you must be calm and never fall into the trap."

"Mr. Yue is very calm." Li Mi looked worried, "At least, he has remained calm so far."

"If Wei Wensheng does something even more crazy, can Yue Gong remain calm?" Li Fengyun asked tentatively.

Li Mi didn't say anything, worried, and was a little depressed. After a long time, she sighed and said, "He is not Lao Yue Gong after all."

The old Duke of Yue Yang Su walked to the peak of power with his bones, and had a strong heart and a tenacious will. Nothing could destroy him except for the ruthless years. Yang Xuangan was a typical second-generation official. Under Yang Su's protection, he was smooth sailing. He had never experienced the baptism of storms, nor did he experience the hardships of life and death. Therefore, he had the courage, courage and courage to launch a military coup, but he might not have the will of rock to withstand a terrible blow.

Li Fengyun's heart suddenly pounded, and the strong sense of suffocation made him unable to help but breathe heavily. I had tried my best, but I still couldn't change the trajectory of the wheel of history. The storm I set off on both sides of the river and the tide on the battlefield of Dongdu were just throwing down a few stones on the turbulent river surface and splashing a few small waves, which could not affect the direction of the river. In the history in my memory, Wei Wensheng wanted to dig tomb and burn corpses, which was no different from Wu Zixu's tomb dig to whip corpses in the Spring and Autumn Period. This touched Yang Xuangan's bottom line, which was something that Yang Xuangan could not bear. Yang Xuangan would have to take revenge, kill Wei Wensheng and slaughter all the soldiers in Xijing. This may be the reason why he was stranded in the battlefield of Dongdu, and this "stagnation" that had lost his mind completely destroyed the mutiny.

The change in Li Fengyun's expression made Li Mi see his inner fear, "Are you worried?"

Li Fengyun smiled, shook his head, and decisively changed the topic, "Will Zheng Yuanshou's defeat at Hangu Pass affect the advancement speed of the Xijing army? After the victory of Hangu Pass, will Yue Gong advance westward, kill Hongnong directly, and attack Guanzhong?"

"It is rumored that the Xijing army rushes to assist the Dongdu is only 25,000." Li Miyu said with a pun.

Li Fengyun frowned slightly, "How is this possible? There are at least 40,000 troops in Xijing and the three counties of Jingjiao. In addition, the garrison troops guarding the west and north of Guanzhong, the north can gather at least 70,000 troops. So if nothing unexpected happens, Wei Wensheng should be able to lead 40,000 troops to assist the Dongdu."

"There is an accident now." Li Mi smiled.

"In this way, Tuyuhun's fierce counterattack in the West Sea and the potential harm of Yuan Hongsi in Honghua have had a serious impact on Xijing."

Li Mi nodded slightly, "Now Xijing not only dares to draw the garrison troops guarding the west of Guanzhong and the north directions back to Beijing, but also to draw troops from Xijing to reinforce Heyou, which has caused difficulties in using troops. If Wei Wensheng did not start a large-scale murder in Xijing, it would be difficult to resist the opposition and sent 25,000 people to help the Eastern Capital. Wei Wensheng lacked enough troops and would definitely rely on the hope of the Jingfu Duwei Mansion and Zheng Yuanshou's army. There would be more than 40,000 troops in one place, so that he could fight.

Zheng Yuanshou was defeated and almost all the troops were wiped out. Wei Wensheng was unable to support himself. It was difficult to achieve success on the battlefield of Dongdu alone. If he was not careful, he might be able to follow Zheng Yuanshou. Therefore, in a certain opinion, Wei Wensheng was forced to change his plan, turn from attack to defense, and defend, and defend Tongguan." Li Mi said this with a sad face, "If I had known that Zheng Yuanshou was vulnerable and collapsed in a flash, it would be better to give him Hangu Pass to lure him to the city of Dongdu. Before Wei Wensheng's troops arrived at Hangu Pass, he would encircle him and annihilate him."

Li Fengyun didn't say anything and was silent.

Li Mi looked at him and continued, "The countermeasure of Yue Gong is to first concentrate troops to defeat Li Hun, take down Lishui, return to Luocang and Jinyong City, completely surround the imperial city and Beiguo of the Eastern Capital, and attack day and night, forcing the Shangshu Province, who had retreated to Heyang, continue to put pressure on Wei Wensheng, forcing Wei Wensheng to enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital to fight me."

Li Fengyun nodded repeatedly and agreed with Li Mi’s words, “What is the situation in Li Yang?”

"According to the latest news of Yuanwuben, by noon on June 18, all your men had evacuated Liyang, and Li Zixiong also left. At the same time, Li Shanheng came from the White Horse Crossing River. Yuanwuben followed the plan of Yuegong and wanted to offer the city to the King of Qi, so he started negotiations with Li Shanheng. According to Li Shanheng, the King of Qi and Dong Chun also arrived at Baima City on June 18. As for whether the King of Qi crossed the river and entered the battlefield of Liyang and whether he accepted Yuanwuben's surrender to take down Liyang City first, he could only receive urgent reports from Yuanwuben tomorrow. However, according to some inference, since a conflict broke out between the King of Qi and Li Shanheng, the possibility of the King of Qi crossing the river and entering Liyang was slim."

Li Fengyun sighed secretly. Although the alliance escaped from the whirlpool of Li Yang, the time for robbing Li Yang's warehouse was too short, and the food and other materials obtained could not support the alliance's 200,000 people's need to switch. If Yang Xuangan quickly defeated in the future and the Holy Lord was able to free up his hands to encircle and suppress the alliance, the alliance would be in danger.

"How do you cooperate with Yue Gong?" Li Fengyun asked on his own initiative.

"From today on the verge of attacking the imperial city from the east, south and west directions, I will be entrusted to you." Li Mi said, "Mr. Yue led all the main forces into the western line of Mangshan. While attacking the northern line of Dongdu, he captured Jingu, cut off Deng Jin and Mengjin, cut off all the connection between Dongdu and Heyang, and regained his energy and prepared to fight to the death with Wei Wensheng."

Li Fengyun agreed immediately. The two discussed some details, and Li Mi stood up to say goodbye.

Li Fengyun stood up and saw him off. When he walked out of the lobby, he couldn't help but make a suggestion.
