Chapter 552 Little tricks
On the fourth morning of the lunar month, Li Fengyun commanded the alliance troops to pass through Heishi Pass and advance towards Luokou Cang.
Now the one who guards Luokou Cang is Yang Xuanzong. Yang Xuanzong is Yang Xuangan's younger brother, the Huben General of the Wei Mansion. At the beginning of the year, he followed the Holy Lord to the Liaodong battlefield. Before launching a mutiny, Yang Xuanzong called him to return secretly. Yang Xuanzong then fled to Liaodong with his younger brother Yang Wanshi. When the two brothers fled to Gaoyang, Hebei, the rebellion of Yang Xuangan had spread to the top leaders. Xu Hua, the palace supervisor of Gaoyang Palace, decisively took the lead. Unexpectedly, the Yang brothers fled. After a fight, Yang Wanshi fell and was captured. Yang Xuanzong escaped by luck. When Yang Xuanzong arrived in the Eastern Capital, Yang Xuangan was leading his army west to Mianchi to fight Wei Wensheng. Yang Xuanzong actively asked for a fight, but Yang Xuangan considered that he was exhausted and needed rest, so he asked him to stay on the Eastern Capital battlefield to assist his uncle Yang Shen.
A few days ago, Zhou Fashang led the navy to come. Hulao and Luokoucang were attacked at the same time. The situation suddenly deteriorated. Yang Shen immediately dispatched troops from Yique to support Luokoucang, and appointed Yang Xuanzong to be fully responsible for the garrison on the eastern front, and tried his best to defend Luokoucang, and blocked Zhou Fashang at all costs.
At this moment, Yang Xuanzong knew that the death of his brother Yang Xuanting made him feel sad and angry. His hatred for Wei Wensheng was no longer greater, and he also hated Li Fengyun. In his opinion, Li Fengyun and the Alliance Army should be loyal to Yang Xuangan, obey orders, and should firmly follow Yang Xuangan and march into Guanzhong. Otherwise, it would be rebellion and a complete betrayal. Yang Xuanzong's attitude may be because he did not understand the relationship between Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun, or because he was noble and arrogant. In short, he was determined to kill. He wanted to use Zhou Fashang's hands to kill Li Fengyun and destroy the Alliance Army. In this way, he could not only benefit from the fisherman, but also vent his hatred in his heart.
Last night, Li Fengyun arrived at the Heishi Pass, which was close to Luokou Cang. Yang Xuanzong thought that Li Fengyun should come to see him, and should take the initiative to ask about the situation of the war, and volunteer to counterattack the navy. This is the most basic etiquette and the only way for the alliance army to enter Xingyang. Li Fengyun must "put his knees down" in order to win his help and support. But beyond his expectations, Li Fengyun ignored him at all, and even had a believer or a message. He didn't even have him in his eyes. He regarded him as nothing and treated him as air.
It is unbearable. Yang Xuanzong was furious. Do you think you are so arrogant? Who do you think you are? A few months ago, before Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny, the Yang family was powerful and arrogant, and Li Fengyun was an ant-like existence. Now, because Yang family wants to plot against the world, they have to lower their attitude to win people's hearts. But even so, the dignity of Yang family cannot be desecrated, especially a humble local thief who betrayed Yang family will not be allowed to openly insult him.
However, only Yang Xuanzong knew the secrets of the senior management. His subordinates knew nothing. After all, Li Fengyun was under the banner of Han Prime Minister. When he went to Xingyang, he was also in the name of supporting Han Shiyan. Everyone belonged to the same camp and was all brothers. If Yang Xuanzong openly killed Li Fengyun, he would definitely have the reputation of brothers fighting each other and slaughtering each other. The blow to the morale of the military was too great. What's more serious is that this move seriously damaged Yang Xuangan's overall plan and damaged the interests of the mutiny alliance, which was equivalent to helping the opponent in disguise. Therefore, Yang Xuanzong could only kill with a knife.
The impact of Yang Xuanzong and Li Fengyun on the battle situation is obvious. The alliance generals of course knew why Li Fengyun was "hostile" to Yang Xuanzong. The conflicts between the two sides broke out in the final stage of the decisive battle in Mianchi broke out. After Li Fengyun decisively evacuated from the battlefield in Mianchi. After receiving the alarm from Wei Fusi, he evacuated again. He did not take off his armor and horses and kept his saddle. He had been furious for a long time. How could he believe that the two sides could maintain cooperation? How could he give Yang Xuanzong face and pretend to be false with Yang Xuanzong? But Yang Xuanzong's subordinates were closed and did not know Li Fengyun's existence, nor did he know that Li Fengyun and Yang Xuangan had broken up. What they saw was that the Korean Prime Minister "ignore" Yang Xuanzong, while Yang Xuanzong was deeply hostile to the Korean Prime Minister. This was wrong. This was to turn against him.
Although Yang Xuanzong's subordinates could not understand the "insider", they, like Yang Xuanzong, despised the Korean Prime Minister and looked down on this rebel army. They were just a group of mobs, which were insignificant. However, when they saw with their own eyes that approached Luokoucang was a army of distinctive armor, excellent weapons, rainbow morale, and murderous spirit, they were shocked. The previous disdain and contempt disappeared under the strong visual impact. They could not believe that the Song Yu's rebel army had soared to such an incredible level in a short period of time. They suddenly realized that the "insider" of the senior management was far more complicated than they thought.
Yang Xuanzong was also stunned. Strength determines everything. Li Fengyun's strength is so strong that Yang Xuangan has no choice. As for Yang Xuanzong's pitiful self-esteem and dirty little plot, he was just a laughing at him in front of Li Fengyun's absolute strength. Yang Xuanzong was secretly frightened. He was also arrogant and wanted to make a rebellious person! The tiger fell under his "pomegranate skirt" and even wanted to eat the other person in one bite. It was ridiculous.
Yang Xuanzong immediately ordered that the city gate be closed and Li Fengyun should not enter Cangcheng, so as not to cause accidents. There is no need to remind this. The soldiers in Cangcheng had long thought of it, and they were all on guard and were as if they were facing a great enemy.
Now the reputation of the Prime Minister of Han and Song Yu's rebels is very poor. The reason is that the rebels captured Nanguo and burned, killed and plundered. This news spread so much that it seriously "stimulated" the mutiny soldiers. The mountains of gold and silver were right in front of him, but they were robbed by a group of local thieves. The resentment was imaginable. Of course, they cursed. Some military generals even slandered Yang Xuangan and falsely accused Han Prime Minister of Han and seriously corrupted the reputation of the Duke of Yue and the mutiny alliance. Fortunately, Li Fengyun had foreseeable "actions" quickly. Without waiting for Yang Xuangan to react, he asked the Prime Minister of Han and Lu Mingxing to go east to Xingyang with spoils. Otherwise, the "big fat" that was in his mouth would probably snatch a piece of Yang Xuangan.
The Korean Prime Minister is notorious, and the Song Yu Yijun has strong strength. The Luokoucang defenders can think of the consequences of putting them into Cangcheng with their toes. However, closing the city gates and not replenishing them with food and grass is equivalent to turning against each other. This will anger the Korean Prime Minister. Once the Korean Prime Minister turns against each other and attack Luokoucang, Luokoucang will be attacked from the enemy on both sides, it will inevitably be overturned. Luokoucang is lost, and Zhou Fashang's navy is closer to the Dongdu. The supply of food and grass from the mutiny alliance army will quickly fall into trouble, and the situation in the Dongdu will become more and more critical. On the contrary, when Zhou Fashang devotes all his strength to the Dongdu, the situation in Xingyang eases. The Han Prime Minister can quickly enter the Xingyang battlefield, and quickly break out of the defense line and escape. In this way, the reinforcing effect of the Xingyang battlefield will no longer exist, which will further deteriorate the situation in the Dongdu.
Yang Xuanzong could not bear the responsibility for the fall of Luokoucang. After repeated weighing, he could only lower his proud head, lower his posture, and quickly sent his trusted staff to go out of the city to visit Li Fengyun, actively inform Li Fengyun of the battle situation of Luokoucang, actively solicited Li Fengyun's attack opinions, and placed himself and Luokoucang in a position of "cooperation" and "assistance", trying to use this to conceal his true intentions and push Li Fengyun and the alliance army to the front line faster, allowing Li Fengyun and Zhou Fashang to fight and defeat both sides.
How could Yang Xuanzong hide his tricks from Li Fengyun? But Li Fengyun was disdainful and did not want to fight for his will. Under the current situation, his primary goal was to enter Xingyang, and he would do anything to do it. Even if he had a loss-win situation with Zhou Fashang, he would be willing to fight both sides. But the question is, is Zhou Fashang willing to fight both sides? Zhou Fashang's goal is Yang Xuangan, a mutiny alliance, a conservative force dominated by Guanlong people, rather than an insignificant local thief, so Li Fengyun is sure that as long as he put on a desperate posture in the battlefield of Luokoucang, Zhou Fashang will retreat.
"Give a 50,000 army half a month of food and grass weapons." Li Fengyun put forward the conditions, "I have more than 30,000 elite troops, and Xinyi Gong (Han Shiye) who is fighting in Hulao has more than 10,000 troops. After I arrived in Xingyang, I had to defend Xingyang with Xinyi Gong, but the navy's army's battle with Luokou can cut off the connection between Hulao and Cangcheng at any time. Therefore, when I go to Xingyang, I must bring enough food and grass to prevent accidents."
The messenger in blue looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and asked with courage, "When will the general be able to finish the move?"
The number of food and grass weapons required by Li Fengyun is huge and requires a large number of transport personnel and tools. Luokou Cang is obviously unable to provide such transportation conditions, and Li Fengyun's army cannot complete this important task within a limited time. Moderate requirements can be met, but it is meaningless to not ask for a big price.
Li Fengyun knew that the Qingyi Messenger had misunderstood, so he smiled and explained, "A certain person will defeat him with thunder to break the siege of Luokou Cang, and then kill Luokou directly, forming a front-end and back attack with Xinyi Gong (Han Shiyan), and put Qingnu to death. The navy was injured and then retreated. In this way, the Hulao and Cangcheng were unobstructed again. Next, you just need to abide by the agreement and transport food, grass and supplies to Hulao continuously."
The messenger in green was shocked. Zhou Fashang was famous, and he came to Zhenghe Fei Qingnu was also a powerful general in the Wei Mansion, and the navy soldiers were also elites in Jiangzuo. Even if Yang Xuangan came in person, he would not dare to say arrogantly that he could defeat the navy in a devastating way, but the fierce local thief in front of him dared to "stranger" to claim that the navy was a native chicken and a dog.
The messenger in Qingyi did not dare to say much, so he bowed to bow and said goodbye and left. At this time, Wei Fusi suddenly came in a hurry, called the messenger in Qingyi, and asked him to wait for a while.
Wei Fusi walked to Li Fengyun and whispered a few words. Li Fengyun was surprised at first, then expressed joy, "The news is accurate?"
Wei Fusi smiled and nodded.
"I still have something to trouble Huainan Duke (Yang Xuanzong)." Li Fengyun immediately shouted at the messenger in blue.
