Chapter 405 Yi Que is lost

Historically, Yang Xuangan was as strong as a stalemate at the beginning of his army, and as if he had entered a no-man's land. From Li Yang to the city of Dongdu, he had almost no decent resistance. Neither the natural danger of the river nor the key defense of Jingji Pass could stop him from moving forward. Most of the Dongdu garrisons and local armed forces in Jingji failed and surrendered under Yang Xuangan's "attack". As a result, Yang Xuangan's military strength expanded to an astonishing level in a short time. This shows that the internal strength of the Dongdu was so fierce that the King of Yue Yang Tong and the Dongdu left Fan Zigai were actually unable to control the overall situation, and neither could integrate the political power of Dongdu to effectively resist Yang Xuangan's attack. It was not until Xijing made a statement and "taken" support that the situation in Dongdu had a fundamental reversal.

Li Fengyun agrees with Li Min's analysis. Under the current situation, the alliance has taken over Yiquekou and tearing a gap in the defense of Jingji Pass, which is indeed conducive to the development of the situation in Dongdu in a direction that is beneficial to our side. However, the problem is that if this move "stimulates" Xijing and forces Xijing to make his position in advance, the result will be completely different.

Is Li Mi deliberately concealing the "intimate" relationship between Yique guard Han Shiyan and Yang Xuangan because of worrying that after taking Yique early, the situation will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to his side? After all, the alliance army will definitely break through Yique's mouth, and Li Mi will definitely use Han Shiyan, the important piece of chess piece, and the secret will be revealed at that time. The truth will be revealed. How can Li Mi explain to Li Fengyun? Should he really turn against Li Fengyun? So Li Mi must have a legitimate reason to convince Li Fengyun, and this reason will definitely be beneficial to the alliance, otherwise the two sides will become enemies. With Li Mi's wisdom, he will not shoot himself in the foot.

Li Fengyun told Li Min about his doubts, "What is the reason for Pushan Gong deliberately concealing it? The Longxi crisis broke out, Yuan Hongsi lost control of the Northwest Army, and the people of Guanlong were no longer afraid of the threat from Duke Yue (Yang Xuangan) and would launch a fierce counterattack. In this crisis, Li Yang had to raise troops in advance. Duke Pushan should be clear about this. The reason why he chose to cooperate with someone was because of the emergence of this change." Li Fengyun frowned deeply, and continued to say after a little pondering, "Because of cooperation, a little trust was established between the two sides, and both Pushan Gong and someone cherished it very much. Therefore, the only reason for Pushan Gong deliberately concealing it was that he did not want to take down Yiquekou too early to shake the two capitals and trigger more variables."

Li Min shook his head and said disapprovingly, "In a certain point of view, the reason is very simple. Mr. Pu Shan lost confidence in Yang Xuangan and also in this mutiny, but he was unwilling to give up. He still had the passion and motivation to sacrifice his life for his ideals. He tried to use your power to save this mutiny and save his hope for the future."

Li Fengyun was a little confused and was quite surprised by Li Min's words. However, if you think about it carefully, with Li Mi's temperament, wisdom and ambition, Li Min's inference is very reasonable. He was indeed careless and thought that Li Mi had not yet "become a climax", so he looked down on him, but he was plotted against him by Li Mi.

Li Fengyun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Pushan is at Yiquekou at this moment. What kind of expression would he look like if he suddenly saw you?"

Li Min heard the ridicule in Li Fengyun's words and immediately guessed Li Fengyun's implicit meaning. Li Fengyun didn't care what Li Mi thought. He only cared about whether Li Mi was willing to cooperate, but the premise of cooperation was that it must be in the interests of the alliance.

"With Pushan Gong's cooperation, Yiquekou can be brought down just around the corner." Li Min hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you agree to take Yiquekou down immediately?"

Li Fengyun did not hesitate and made a decisive decision, "take Yiquekou immediately."

The alliance took Yique and Dongdu was shocked. The news would reach Liyang as soon as possible, and it would also quickly reach Xijing. If the fire in Xijing was observed, it would inevitably see Yang Xuangan's intentions. But what choice would Xijing make? Is it to ensure that the east is not lost and that the situation in the Dongdu is within a controllable range, actively intervene in the Dongdu crisis, or watch the fire from the other side of the river, let the Dongdu kill each other, let Yang Xuangan and the Holy Lord fight to both sides, and wait until the Dongdu becomes ruined, then come forward to clean up the mess and seize more political benefits, such as coercing the Holy Lord to establish the identity of the heir of the imperial throne, forcing the Holy Lord to move Kyoto back to Guanzhong, etc., many great interests that are enough to affect the rise and fall of Guanlong?

Xijing's position in this mutiny is foreseeable, but Xijing's profit-making strategy was unknown. If Xijing can "knock the mountain and shake the tiger" by taking down Yiquekou and detecting Xijing's profit-making strategy, it will be very beneficial for the alliance to "take the chestnut from the fire" on the battlefield in the Dongdu next.

It was precisely because Li Fengyun thought of this that he took the minority of the two evils. He would rather pay a certain price at Yiquekou, and he should also see Xijing's reaction to the Dongdu crisis. If Xijing actively intervened in the Dongdu crisis and the Guanlong people showed signs of sending troops to support the Dongdu in advance, the alliance would adjust its deployment after entering the Dongdu battlefield to avoid head-on battles with the Xijing army and minimize its own losses. On the contrary, the alliance still "follows step by step" and still follows the original deployment, but Yang Xuangan's side

That's not possible, because if Xijing "passively" responds to the Dongdu crisis, it will inevitably "add fuel to the fire" and secretly promote the fire and quickly deteriorate the situation in the Dongdu, so that the two tigers can compete, the wars of the Dongdu will rise everywhere, and the Dongdu will turn into a sea of ​​fire and ruins. Therefore, in order to seize the initiative and seize the initiative on the Dongdu battlefield, Yang Xuangan had to raise his troops quickly and did not dare to delay for a moment. The earlier Yang Xuangan raised his troops, the faster he entered the Dongdu battlefield, the more beneficial it would be to the alliance. This is obvious.

When Li Min saw Li Fengyun's decisive killing, he couldn't help but admire him secretly. This is a very human being, no wonder his elders admire him. Speaking of which, the Li family of Zhaojun is worthy of being a thousand-year-old rich family with a profound foundation. Especially the fact that Li Delin, the Duke of Anping, has produced many talents. His legitimate son Li Baiyao is famous for his scholars, and this son who should be his concubine is even more amazing. He set off an earth-shaking political storm in Yulin, northern border, and now he is going to trigger an earth-shaking mutiny in Dongdu. As he talks and laughs, he has become a river of blood and life is devastated. Such a person will definitely be a generation of heroes in the future, and he will be remembered forever. If he takes a step back, he will fall into hell.

"Do you go to Yique together?" Li Min asked.

"Don't hit someone in the face, be kind." Li Fengyun laughed, "You're enough to hit Pu Shan Gong's embarrassing black face alone."

Li Min was interesting to hear and couldn't help laughing.

"It is easy to take down Yique, but it is difficult to defend Yique." Li Fengyun continued, "In order to concentrate on defending Yique, I have to make some preparations in the past two days to help the Korean Prime Minister clear these outer towns. The Korean Prime Minister is here to look forward to the front, fearful, too much concern, and too soft-hearted, which seriously drags down the army's journey northward. I have to take some ruthless measures to hit those people in Yuzhou who are ready to move."

Li Min knew it well and smiled without saying a word. Li Fengyun said it nicely, but in fact he disliked the fact that the Prime Minister Han had less plundering and did not have enough wealth to rob. He had to take action himself and make a fortune before leaving. Considering the interests of the Han clan of Yingchuan and the Yingru nobles, Han Prime Minister certainly did not dare to burn, kill, and plunder unscrupulously. However, Li Fengyun had no such concerns. He was a vicious bandit now and had no relationship with the Yingru nobles. Of course, he should rob what he should rob. If he should rob, he would make a fortune, and then turn around and leave.

Yique was defeated and shocked the Eastern Capital.

King Yang Tong of Yue urgently summoned General Li Hun of Right Guard and General Zheng Yuanshou of Right Guard to investigate the cause of the fall of the key. Li Hun was furious and pushed the responsibility to Han Shiyan, the governor of Yique. Zheng Yuanshou fought with reason and tried his best to protect Han Shiyan, and blamed the responsibility for Yique's defeat to Li Hun.

Standing on the side of King Yang Tong of Yue, Fan Zigai and the head of the royal palace, Cui Zi, finally heard a rough idea and knew the reason for Yique's loss during the fierce quarrel between the two generals.

The governor of Yique, Han Shiyan, came from the Han clan of Yingchuan, and the thief Han Xiangguo, who attacked Yique, also came from the Han clan of Yingchuan. Although both of them were branched, they had the same roots and origins. Who can guarantee that there was no "tactic understanding" between the two? In order to ensure the safety of Yique, Li Hun, the general of the Right Guard, decided to change the commander in the last battle and transfer Han Shiyan back to Dongdu.

This discussion was strongly opposed by the right-hand guard general Zheng Yuanshou. The two chiefs of the Guards were quarreling, so they urgently summoned Han Shiye to seek his own opinions. After all, it is of great importance. Han Shiye is also a backbone of the Heluo faction in the military. If he can not offend him or not, it is necessary to avoid suspicion. From a certain perspective, it is also a kind of protection for Han Shiye. If Yique is trapped, wouldn't Han Shiye not be able to clean up the Yellow River? But Li Hun was worried that Han Shiye would refuse to leave Yique for his own selfish purposes in order to take care of the interests of the Han family in Yingchuan. So while urgently summoning Han Shiye to return to the Dongdu military to discuss, he sent a close confidant to replace Han Shiye in the garrison. In fact, he wanted to transfer Han Shiye away by force.

As the result is conceivable, Han Shiye was of course furious. He and Li Hun had a factional dispute, and there were conflicts and conflicts. Now Li Hun used this method that was incompatible with emotion, reason and law to force him to transfer him from Yique. This was not only a blow to him, but also an insult to his personality. Han Shiye was furious and went straight to Dongdu to find "trouble" for Li Hun. As the conflict between the two was revealed, the morale of Yique's defenders suddenly fell, especially Han Shiye's confidant subordinates, who were obscene to the new commander's orders, and even "took a knife" behind his back.

At this moment, the thieves outside the pass launched a fierce attack. One of them was full of morale and fighting spirit, and the other was full of complaints and had no intention of fighting and retreating step by step. So Yique was lost.

Whose responsibility is this? Should it be blamed on General Li Hun, the Right Guard, or should it be blamed on Han Shiye?

Don’t look at the young King of Yue, Yang Tong, but he is a little bitch and has become a sperm. When he saw that the momentum was wrong, he immediately closed his mouth and said nothing.

The military conflicts have intensified to such an extent that even the southern gate of the Eastern Capital was lost. Who is the responsibility? Of course, it is the responsibility of the military. Li Hun, Zheng Yuanshou, and Han Shiyan cannot escape, but who can afford to offend the military? Who dares to offend the Twelve Guards? At this moment, Cui Zi and Fan Zigai dare not "point fingers", even King Yang Tong of Yue was "silent" and was afraid that he would be "shield" by the military if he accidentally became a "shield". That would be an unrestrained disaster.
