Fan Zigai, the left-behind Dongdu, was silent, and the others did not speak.

The young and young King Yang Tong of Yue suddenly increased in their minds. This strategy was offered by Shandong people, and Cui Jie persuaded King Yang Tong of Yue. But the key to the problem was that King Yang Tong of Yue made a decision alone, did not discuss with anyone, nor did he seek other people's opinions. This shows that he was wise, scheming and thoughtful, unwilling to be a puppet at the mercy of others, and to be the master of Dongdu, he must firmly control his destiny. At a young age, he was full of strong desire for power. This is the most awe-inspiring thing about King Yang Tong of Yue, which made military and political tycoons such as Fan Zigai feel threatened.

The decision of the King of Yue changed the current power balance in Dongdu. Fan Zigai and others felt that the power in their hands was losing weak, and their control over the future situation was also rapidly weakened. Soon, Duke Yang Gongren and Qin Wang Yang Hao were about to come to the King of Yue Yang Tong to guard the left and right, and help King of Yue Yang Tong consolidate and enhance his authority. Fan Zigai and others would be passive next. Even if they were not led by King of Yue Yang Tong, they would be hindered by King of Yue Yang Tong in everything, and it would be difficult to do whatever they want.

King Yang Tong of Yue was very cautious, worried that Fan Zigai and others would join forces to prevent King Yang Hao from returning to Beijing and Duke Guan Yang Gongren from returning to the country, so they decisively announced that the discussion would end. As for supporting Li Hun, it would be determined by the Luoshui war. Fan Zigai had already said that he would slow down the report of the Holy Lord and give Li Hun time to reorganize the army to counterattack. Besides, the Wei Mansion should also take into account its own face and wash away the stigma of shame as soon as possible. Therefore, the Wei Mansion should let the Wei Mansion deal with the matter. It is inevitable that Yu She would be honest.

Everyone had their own thoughts and scattered.

On that day, Wu Ben Lang General Gao Dugong Li Gongting, who had already prepared for the move in Xiyuan, quickly led his army to Jingu in the northwest of Mangshan and Yamato Valley in the southeast of Mangshan, strengthened the garrisoning forces of Dengjin and Mengjin, and crossed the river to Heyang, and temporarily brought the military affairs of the Heyang Duwei Mansion to ensure that King Yang Hao of Qin returned to Dongdu before dusk.

On that day, General Li Hun of the Right Guard reorganized the army on the front line of Luoshui and launched a counterattack against the rebels around noon. The two sides fought fiercely at the Lujiao Pavilion ten miles southeast of Xianren Palace. However, the morale of the Guards was generally not high. In addition, the Dongdu did not mobilize troops to support him, so he acted very coldly. The officers were full of complaints. As a result, the counterattack failed to work and failed to defeat the rebels back to Yiquekou. For the time being, they could only barely maintain the Luoshui defense line.

On the afternoon of the same day, Li Fengyun, who was commanding the battle on the front line, received a confidential news from the Dongdu. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered Lu Mingxing to lead the Cavalry Army and the Third Alliance Army to head north along the Yishui River, attack and advance from the flank of the Luoshui Defense Line to the south of the Dongdu to further threaten the Dongdu and chaotic the situation in the Dongdu.

In the unfavorable situation of the situation in Dongdu, the political game between the military and political circles has become increasingly fierce. Political forces, large and small, pursue their respective interests at any cost, regardless of the cost. As a result, whether they are active or passive, whether they are intentional or unintentional, everyone has become the "pushers" of the "storm". As a result, dark clouds enveloped Dongdu, and an earth-shaking "storm" is coming.

At the end of May, Li Zixiong arrived in Liyang.

Lai Hu'er "detained" Li Zixiong to Liaodong with a warship, but this ship imprisoned many of Li Zixiong's subordinates. As a result, when he reached the coast of Hebei, Li Zixiong's subordinates broke out and hijacked the warship, rescued Li Zixiong, and then sailed into the river, went upstream, and fled to Liyang day and night.

Li Zixiong's "escape" proves that the news from the palace by Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War, was absolutely accurate. Now Li Zixiong escaped by chance, but the Honghua who was far away in the northwest was in danger, and there were many dangers.

Li Zixiong did not wait for a break and urgently asked about the situation in the Dongdu. Hu Shidan immediately gave a detailed explanation, and Yang Xuangan, Wang Zhongbo and others added a little.

Li Fengyun, Li Mi, and Han Prime Minister led his army to capture Yique and approached the city of Dongdu. They successfully completed the task of attracting the attention of Dongdu and restraining the garrison troops of the capital. At the same time, they intensified the contradictions and conflicts between major political forces in Dongdu, further chaoticing the political situation of Dongdu. In addition, the alliance army was also on the Jishui River, Bian River and Tongji Canal, and successfully restrained the official army in Xingyang. The alliance army entering Henan forced the few official troops in Dongjun and Jiyin County into cities of all sizes. At this point, from a military perspective, the situation is very beneficial to the mutiny. It can be said that everything is ready, and only the east wind is insufficient.

However, the key to whether this mutiny can succeed is not military, but politically. So what Li Zixiong is most concerned about is not whether Li Fengyun has entered the capital and approached the Dongdu, but whether Yang Xuangan has reached an agreement with the Guanlong people, whether the candidate for the heir to the imperial throne has been determined, and whether the conservative forces of the two capitals can work together to fight against the Holy Lord.

Yang Xuangan gave an answer that disappointed Li Zixiong. Although Li Fengyun had already made a prediction about this, Li Zixiong was always lucky. As a result, Li Fengyun was right again. The luck in Li Zixiong's heart finally disappeared.

"Do you have other choices?" Li Zixiong asked bluntly, "We have been preparing for both ways. If the King of Dai is not good, we will choose other princes, such as King Qin Yang Hao, who is the commander of Heyang and has the responsibility to garrison Yongjiqu. The person is in Heyang. If you make an offer to invite him to lure him into Liyang, and then take him on his arms, we will have the banner we need and can threaten the Boling Cui family. In this way, even if we cannot win the support of Shandong people in the early stage of the mutiny, we can still make the Boling Cui family be afraid of the rat, forcing Shandong people to watch coldly and endure for a while."

"We made other choices, and the candidate was King Yang Hao of Qin." Hu Shidan said, "We also thought of a solution, intending to lure him into Liyang and hijack him, but our efforts failed."

"What's the solution?" Li Zixiong asked.

"According to the news we just obtained from the Eastern Capital, the King of Yue suddenly decided to ask King Yang Hao of Qin and Duke Guan Yang Gongren to support each other." Master Hu looked at Li Zixiong and said with a pun, "Where is the purpose of King Yue? Duke Jianchang should be clear at a glance, so if nothing unexpected happens, King Yang Hao of Qin has returned to the Eastern Capital at this moment."

When Li Zixiong heard this, he guessed that this was the result of the fierce power game between the senior officials of Dongdu. It is certain that the idea for King Yue Yang Tong, who was in a power dilemma, must be the head of the King Yue Palace of Yue. It is unexpected that the young King Yue Yang Tong actually had such careful thoughts, such extraordinary courage and courage. This is not a child playing house. Without extraordinary courage, no courage to take a risky fight in the crowd of wolves. What is particularly incredible is that the military and political officials such as Fan Zigai, Yuan Wendu, Wei Jin, Wei Yunqi, Pei Hongce did not obstruct, and actually allowed King Yue Yang Tong to take back all the power that should belong to him. How is this possible? There must be unknown secrets here.

"No one stops it?" Li Zixiong asked in surprise, "or can't stop it?"

Hu Shidan spread his hands and said he knew nothing. The senior officials of Dongdu are all powerful figures, and the power struggle is very powerful. The reason why the political situation in Dongdu quickly deteriorated to this incredible level today is directly related to their enthusiasm for "fighting in the nest". However, it is indeed unbelievable that a group of strong figures were suppressed by a child who seemed weak and bullied. Dongdu's power was dispersed and a scattered sand was very beneficial to the mutiny's capture of Dongdu. On the contrary, if Dongdu's power was concentrated in the hands of King Yang Tong of Yue, and King Yang Tong of Yue had the final say, Dongdu's cohesion would inevitably be strengthened and his defense would be solid, which would be detrimental to attack Dongdu.

After thinking for a while, Li Zixiong sneered, "The King of Yue is good. The reason why he invited King Yang Hao back to Qin was the real intention to dispel the concerns of Duke Guan Yang Gongren and lay the foundation for Yang Gongren's comeback." Speaking of this, he looked at Yang Xuangan and Hu Shidan and asked, "Is there any news that Duke Guan Yang Gongren has made a comeback?

"There is no doubt about this." Yang Xuangan stroked his long beard and frowned. "In order to help the King of Yue defend Dongdu, Cui Zi took the initiative to make the greatest compromise with the Yuan family and the eight nobles, but the matter was far more complicated than Cui Zi imagined. Xijing was aggressive, and Duke (Li Hun) pressed step by step. It was unrealistic to rely solely on the Xianbei people to defend Dongdu. Dongdu is in danger. We can see that Cui Zi can see, and Yang Gongren can see that. With his personality, he will never stand by and ignore it. Therefore, Yang Gongren's sudden comeback was invited by Cui Zi, but on the other hand, he also had his own wishes. Faced with the situation in Dongdu that has taken a sharp turn, he can no longer sit still."

"The return of Duke Guanguo has had a great impact on the political situation of the Dongdu." Mr. Hu said worriedly, "It can be foreseeable that the authority of the King of Yue will be above the Dongdu. The central government and the twelve palaces have been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the King of Yue, and it is no longer difficult to control the development of the Dongdu situation. This has affected our mutiny planning, disrupted our established deployment, and forced us to delay the time of raising troops."

Everyone looked heavy and all were silent. Guanguo Duke Yang Gongren had great prestige in both military and political circles, and inherited the huge political legacy left by his father Guande King Yang Xiong and his uncle Shi'an Gonghou Yang Da. In fact, his position as a leader in the royal political group is now very strong. This is why Dongdu and all over the country are optimistic about him, regard him as the core of the new generation of power in Zhongtu, and are willing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with him.

King Yang Xiong of Guande and Marquis of Shi'an Gong Yang Da have become history, while Duke Yang Gongren of Guanguo is the future and is the object of active "investment" by all political groups. Therefore, at this moment, the comeback of Duke Yang Gongren of Guanguo will have a profound impact on the political structure of Dongdu. The first thing affected is the change in the attitude of political forces of all large and small Dongdu to King Yang Tong of Yue. Because in a sense, Yang Gongren's comeback can be interpreted as the royal family began to "take a side" in the dispute over the imperial reunification, and began to tend to support King Yang Tong of Yue, which will inevitably affect the choices of these political forces after the storm of Dongdu.

Yang Xuangan did not predict this sudden change, and Hu Shidan and other mutinies did not deduce it and prepare for it. No one expected that Guan Guo Duke Yang Gongren would resolutely "take a side" at the cost of his own and his royal family's future at the critical moment of Dongdu. This is too crazy, it is a completely unreasonable political impulse. It is impossible for him to happen in the real world, but now it is really happening.

"In this way, have we lost our choice in the inheritance of the imperial throne?" Li Zixiong finally broke his silence.
