Silently. Zhang Quan refuted silently. Gao Xiaoji, Yuan Wendu and other ministers were also silent. They knew that Wei Yunqi was deliberately obstructing the provinces to concentrate their efforts to save Dongdu, but they could not find any reason to refute.

Wei Yunqi stopped for a moment, and saw that no one questioned him, so he continued, "The King of Qi will definitely actively ask to go to Beijing to quell the rebellion. We must find ways to stop him from entering Beijing to quell the rebellion. The only way to stop the King of Qi from entering Beijing to quell the rebellion is to use more troops to trap the King of Qi, on the front line of Baima and Liyang. Such a province will inevitably be stretched in military deployment and cannot be sustained."

Wei Yunqi said this, his eyes swept over the faces of the provincial ministers one by one, and said solemnly, "So, I ask all officials to put the overall situation first and the country's destiny first, and to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary army. They are the foundation of Middle-earth, the country's important weapon, and the Great Wall of the Northern Frontier. They cannot tolerate a slight loss. If the same mistake is repeated, if Middle-earth loses another 200,000 soldiers, what are the consequences? The Dukes should be very clear, and there is no need to repeat it again."

Wei Yunqi asked well, is the lives of hundreds of thousands of expedition soldiers important, or is it an important city in the Eastern Capital? Is the national security important, or is the face of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee important?

After this question, the provincial ministers would not dare to refute it even if they were willing to refute it. Now the Holy Lord and the Expeditionary Force are still on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the Grand Canal is still in a state of interruption. Once the Grand Canal cannot be opened for a long time, the food, grass and supplies cannot be transported. Although the Expeditionary Force will not repeat the failure as Wei Yunqi said, it will at least seriously delay the time of return. With this delay, the situation in the Dongdu will be very likely to deteriorate to an unsaved level, and the Dongdu storm may sweep the two capitals and even a larger area. The consequences will be serious and uncontrollable. If you pursue it in the future, Wei Yunqi will definitely have no mistakes, and they will bear the blame.

After a debate, the province finally made a decision. The current province's primary task is to concentrate its efforts to open up the Grand Canal of the North and South first, so Li Gongting will not provide military support for the time being. It will decide whether to give up Deng Jin and Meng Jin depending on the development of the war situation in the Eastern Capital.

The province's 100,000 urgently informed Wei Wensheng of this decision and urged him to speed up the marching and enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital as soon as possible, otherwise the East would be in danger of falling.

He also told the King of Qi, Cui Hongsheng and Chen Leng and other reinforcements, urging them to recover Liyang as quickly as possible and open up the Yongji Canal.

Another hundred thousand fires urgently informed Zhou Fashang, deputy general manager of the Navy, urging him to rush to Xingyang as soon as possible to support King Xun Yangqing, and be sure to open the Ji Canal in the shortest time to restore the smoothness of the North and South Grand Canal.

On June 21, the Xijing army arrived at Tongguan.

The capital of the capital Dugu Wudu and the deputy commander Liu Gang came out to welcome him, and at the same time conveyed a bad news: on June 19th, the right guard general Zheng Yuanshou was defeated at Hangu Pass and his entire army was wiped out.

Wen Sheng, the guards of Xijing, Ming Ya, the Minister of War, and Du Yan, the Censor of the Censor of the Secretariat, and Wei Jin, the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department, heard the bad news, and looked at each other in disgrace.

Zheng Yuanshou had more than 10,000 Eastern Du garrison troops, and the Jingfu Duwei Mansion had thousands of troops. In addition, 25,000 reinforcements in Xijing, the total number of troops was more than 40,000. This was the base of the army that Wei Wensheng used to support Dongdu. If it was less than this base, it would be difficult to achieve on the battlefield of Dongdu. At most, it would be delayed. But the key problem was that Yang Xuangan would not give them time to delay, and he would definitely defeat them as quickly as possible, and then kill Guanzhong without any obstacles. As long as Yang Xuangan took over Xijing and occupied Guanzhong, there would be great potential in the future. However, at this critical moment, Zheng Yuanshou was wiped out, which was undoubtedly a blow to Wei Wensheng.

Mingya, the Minister of War, immediately came up with two countermeasures. One was to continue to advance and rush to Wushan as quickly as possible. Using the steep terrain of Wu and Mian line, blocked the rebels west of Hangu Pass, cut off Yang Xuangan's way into the pass, and then gave all the helping troops to enter the Eastern Capital battlefield and gain enough time to encircle Yang Xuangan; the other countermeasure was very negative. The army stopped advancing and blocked Yang Xuangan's entry according to the dangers of Tongguan.

The fall of Hangu Pass means that the rebels have occupied the siege, and the danger of Mian is in danger. If the Xijing army wants to enter the Dongdu battlefield and resolve the danger of Dongdu, they must kill all the way. It is unwise to force the attack and attack, so Mingya's first countermeasure is actually no longer possible. Before Yang Xuangan takes over the Dongdu, it is impossible for him to give up the siege. The danger of Mian is in danger and let the Xijing army enter the Dongdu battlefield.

Wei Wensheng denied Mingya's second countermeasure without hesitation. He was so passive based on Tongguan, which was absolutely undesirable from his point of view.

Wei Wensheng ordered to speed up the marching, continue to advance eastward, and move forward without any progress. If you encounter rebels, you will be hit head-on and kill the Eastern Capital with an invincible force.

On June 21st, on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, Wang Zhongbo and Li Mi led their troops to fight fiercely with Li Gongting at Deng Jin.

Yang Jishan led his army to attack Beiguanmen, and Yang Xuanting led his army to attack Luocang and Jinyong City, but they were all thunder and light rain, and they were bluffing.

Li Fengyun's attack in the direction of the Sun Pierce also bluffed, the sound of drums and trumpets shocked the sky, the sound of killing was shocking, the arrows were like rain, and there were fire and smoke everywhere, but the soldiers were not seen carrying the ladder to fight.

Yang Xuangan led the main force to rest outside Shangchun Gate.

At noon, Master Hu reported urgently that Wei Fusi came to visit secretly. Yang Xuangan was overjoyed and personally welcomed him outside the gate, holding the courtesy of his son and nephew, giving him a lot of face.

After sitting down and having a brief greeting, Wei Fusi went straight to the point, "The King of Qi wants to enter the capital, but I wonder if Duke Yue is willing to welcome him?"

Yang Xuangan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Are you serious about this?"

Hu Shidan was also happy and said, "Dangyang Gong is of great importance and should not be lying."

The two sides hit it off and immediately entered in-depth discussion. Yang Xuangan said that the reason why he had not made a decision on the unification of the emperor was because he was deceived by Xijing. At that time, Xijing vowed to form an alliance, but when he raised the flag in Liyang, Xijing changed his mind. So Yang Xuangan fell into a passive position and had to do his best to take down Dongdu first, reverse the crisis, and then "wait for a price" to take Dongdu.

Wei Fusi asked, if Dongdu is lost and the King of Qi enters Beijing and the two sides work together to cooperate, can he win the final victory in the confrontation with the Holy Lord? What if he fails, what should he do? Is there a way out?

"There is no possibility of failure." Yang Xuangan said seriously, "It has already explained the problem that someone resolutely launched a mutiny. The most acute and fierce contradiction at present is how to go on the road of reform. The direction we chose is in the interests of the vast majority of people, which is enough to ensure that we will win the victory of this struggle. Someone can assert that when the King of Qi ascends the throne and becomes emperor, a new reform strategy is determined, Xijing will definitely support us. Xijing is currently on the sideliness, which can be seen from the fact that Wei Wensheng had to use bloody killings to force the Xijing army to support Dongdu."

"Bloody killing?" Wei Fusi asked in surprise, "The situation in Xijing is so tense?"

Yang Xuangan immediately introduced the current situation in detail, including Dongdu, Xijing, Liyang, Xingyang and other parties, and a strong sense of confidence was revealed in his words.

"The influence of the imperial regime on the situation is beyond doubt." Yang Xuangan said at last, "The sooner the King of Qi enters Beijing, the better. Therefore, I beg Dangyang Gong to write a letter to the King of Qi quickly and try my best to advise the King of Qi to enter the capital decisively, and wait for the King of Qi to ascend the throne to become emperor, and the situation will inevitably develop rapidly in a direction that is beneficial to us."

Wei Fusi nodded repeatedly and agreed with Yang Xuangan's opinion, but he did not agree at once, but proposed to meet Li Fengyun, "It is not to be hiding it from Duke Yue. When we were in Qi County, we had an agreement with Bai Hai. Bai Hai promised to do our best to help the King of Qi seize the imperial rule, and this is the reason why he entered the Eastern Capital at any cost.

Wei Fusi told the news frankly, Yang Xuangan and Hu Shidan were also frankly. Since they have formed an alliance and cooperated, they certainly trust each other. If you want to see Bai Hai, then go and see him. He is commanding the army to attack the imperial city in Puerto Sun Square.

At dusk, Li Fengyun cried out to collect his army and returned to the temporary tent on the Pierce of Sun Square. Then he saw Wei Fusi waiting for him in the tent.

"I told you, please be sure not to go to Beijing, otherwise you will be killed." After Li Fengyun greeted him, he immediately warned seriously, "I once said that Li Zixiong is in trouble, and the Lord will arrest him. What is the result?"

Wei Fusi smiled and shook his head, "I have a reason to have to come."

"The King of Qi is ambitious, he is unforgettable to the Emperor and is very resistant to the Northern Territory. In his opinion, it is equivalent to exile and self-exile." Li Fengyun sneered, "Because you are subject to Xijing, you have to sacrifice the King of Qi for the future of the Wei family. But have you ever thought about how likely the King of Qi is to enter the capital? Yang Xuangan is willing to form an alliance with the King of Qi and actively encourage the King of Qi to enter the capital. What is his real purpose?"

Wei Fusi stroked his beard and smiled, and asked back, "Yang Xuangan said, Li Zixiong has fled Li Yang and headed north with your alliance army. Your purpose has reached, why are you still stranded in Dongdu?"

Li Fengyun frowned slightly and asked, "The purpose of your visit to Dongdu is to persuade someone to cross the river and go north immediately?"

Wei Fusi smiled and said, "The situation has developed to the present, and your role in continuing to stay in Dongdu is very small. If you are not careful, it will become Yang Xuangan's burial. Therefore, you should leave Dongdu early and escape from the death ground before the reinforcements formed an encirclement of Dongdu."

Li Fengyun looked at Wei Fusi, thinking about something.

"According to Yang Xuangan, Wei Wensheng's army supported Dongdu only had 25,000 troops." Wei Fusi asked, "Yang Xuangan's army is still expanding, and it is estimated that it will be expanded to about 100,000 soon. Although his elite number is not large, it is definitely no problem to defeat Wei Wensheng. Therefore, Yang Xuangan tried every means to keep you in Dongdu, and his purpose was to treat you as a victim."

"In this way, Xijing is ready to resolutely prevent Yang Xuangan from entering Guanzhong, and to kill him at the Dongdu at all costs." Li Fengyun said, "But I think that you despise Yang Xuangan. You must know that going west to Guanzhong is his only way to live. How can he not do anything to do about it? You can think of Yang Xuangan, and you can think of Yang Xuangan, as well as you can't think of it."

Wei Fusi disagreed, "Do you insist on staying here?"

"If a certain man successfully robbed Li Yangcang, he might immediately leave the battlefield of Dongdu immediately after listening to your advice." Li Fengyun sighed, "But in order to prevent the King of Qi from entering Beijing, Dong Chun and Li Shanheng decisively changed the situation in Li Yang, resulting in his manpower having to give up Li Yangcang and go north in advance. The strategy of going north to fight was seriously affected, and it is very likely that he would fail. Therefore, he must stay in Dongdu now and help Yang Xuangan defeat Wei Wensheng so that he can enter Guanzhong as quickly as possible. As long as he enters Guanzhong, the crisis caused by this mutiny will continue, which will make the Holy Lord and the Guardian army unable to free up their hands to deal with him."

Wei Fusi's face suddenly became gloomy.
