When You Yuan died, he died in the house where he was imprisoned.

From the scene, You Yuan committed suicide with a knife, but the question is, where did this sharp horizontal sword come from? When You Yuan and his subordinates and guards were imprisoned, all the weapons were confiscated. Because it was summer and his clothes were thin, it was impossible to keep them privately, so this sharp horizontal sword must have come from outside the house.

There were many guards outside the house. Yang Xuangan was worried that the secret of imprisoning You Yuan was leaked, so he specially strengthened the protection. The inside and the outside were three layers, and the outside was not airtight, and no one could enter, let alone give You Yuan a knife. So in the end, there was only one possibility. The knife came from the guards outside the house. There were traitors in these guards, and there were more than one or two, a group of guards. They killed You Yuan and forged the scene of the suicide.

However, if this possibility is confirmed, it will take a long time to isolate the guards one by one, but what Yang Xuangan lacks the most is time, because the news of You Yuan's death will spread immediately.

The purpose of the opponent killing You Yuan was to blame Yang Xuangan. If You Yuan died, the news that Yang Xuangan killed You Yuan would inevitably spread as quickly as possible. You Yuan was the Censor of the Censorate, the deputy chief of the Censorate, and the Central Committee. The mission of Li Yang was to supervise Yang Xuangan to supervise the food and grass, but Yang Xuangan killed him, which was equivalent to confirming Yang Xuangan's crime of betraying the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, forcing Yang Xuangan to launch a mutiny immediately.

Yang Xuangan ordered the blockade of news and did his best to block the news.

There is no choice now, so I will discuss the period of raising troops immediately. Which day to raise troops? Of course, the faster the better, but before raising troops, there are still many things to do and must be arranged one by one.

First of all, the manifesto should be written, and secondly, the supreme command for the mutiny should be established. On this basis, a series of military and political officials should be appointed and a series of specific measures should be issued and implemented. The army should be formed again, to ensure the supply of money and food of the army, and to contact the Dongdu immediately so that the army can receive timely responses during the attack on Dongdu, etc., which are complicated and complicated. Even though they have been carefully prepared before, once they are truly implemented, they are still in a hurry.

But the above are all specific work of mutiny, and it is enough to leave it to specific people to execute. The core mutiny such as Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong should consider far more important than these specific work, and it is directly related to the success or failure of mutiny.

How You Yuan died now doesn't matter. What's important is that he died at the hands of Yang Xuangan. After Yang Xuangan took the blame, the direct consequence was that he had a complete break with the people of Hebei and completely turned against the people of Shandong. After that, Hebei people will not support the mutiny launched by Yang Xuangan. On the contrary, they will stand on the side of the Holy Lord and attack Yang Xuangan. The clear opposition of Yang Xuangan by Hebei people will not only affect the attitude and position of all Shandong people towards this mutiny, but also affect the analysis and judgment of other political groups on the entire situation. It can be foreseen that once the Shandong people unite to support the Holy Lord and oppose this mutiny, then Yang Xuangan's failure is almost a foregone conclusion. Since Yang Xuangan is doomed to fail, how many political groups in the two capitals will go to the fire and seek death?

Li Zixiong chose to remain silent and no longer insisted that Yang Xuangan declared his independence while raising his troops.

If You Yuan was not dead, Yang Xuangan "kidnapped" You Yuan and launched a mutiny together and declared independence together to "kidnapping" Hebei people and coerced Shandong people, then the benefits to this mutiny are self-evident. At the same time, the Holy Lord and the Central Master no longer dare to trust Shandong people. After all, in the two mutinys launched by Yuchi Jiong, Wang Qian, Sima Yingnan and King Yang Liang of Han, Shandong people were staunch supporters of the mutiny. The teacher who learned from the past and the later affairs, how could the Holy Lord and the Central Master believe that Shandong people are innocent? In this way, they will successfully disagree. As long as the Holy Lord and the Central Master start a large-scale killing of Shandong people, the Shandong people will have no way out. They can only support Yang Xuangan, support this mutiny, and fight with the Holy Lord to the end. In this way, the determination of success of the mutiny will be greatly increased. Yang Xuangan's purpose of proclaiming independence at the beginning of the army can also be achieved.

However, in a blink of an eye, all these ideas disappeared and everything may no longer exist. The opponent was too powerful, and one blow was fatal and a "slash" on Yang Xuangan, which made Yang Xuangan feel in pain. In this case, if Yang Xuangan declared his independence at the beginning of his army, it would inevitably further anger the people of Hebei. Not only would they not get the benefits predicted before, they would backfire and may fail faster.

Li Zixiong remained silent. Those who had the same opinion did not dare to persuade him again. Those who had the opposite opinion were also frustrated. Originally, delaying the time of independence was already detrimental to the mutiny, but the two evils were the least. He had to wait until the capture of Dongdu established a certain advantage before reinforcing himself. But now that You Yuan is dead, he has completely broken with the people of Hebei. Yang Xuangan has basically lost the possibility of winning the support of Shandong people. As one goes up and down, the Holy Lord has already had an absolute advantage in this storm, which has led to the possibility of winning the mutiny becoming smaller and smaller. How can this not be frustrating?

"The matter of independence can only be achieved after the capture of Dongdu." Yang Xuangan took the lead in breaking his silence and made a decision on the most core and fierce debate on the mutiny.

Li Zixiong sighed secretly that You Yuan's death will cause shock in the Dongdu and will disrupt Yang Xuangan's many secret deployments in the Dongdu, which greatly increases the difficulty of attacking the Dongdu. I just don't know if Li Fengyun, who rushed to the Dongdu with confidence, still had the ambition to win the Dongdu after hearing this news.

"The most urgent task is to form an army." Yang Xuangan looked at Li Zixiong and Wang Zhongbo, hoping that these two military commanders would play a role at the critical moment.

Previously, Yang Xuangan used the excuse of the white-haired thief Li Fengyun and the south bank of the river to threaten Li Yang Cang and Yongjiqu. He had ordered the recruitment of the armed forces of Zhuyingyang and local villages and clans of Ji County and its surrounding counties to rush to Li Yang to gather together, but there were very few responders. On the one hand, the people of Hebei did not have the will and motivation to support Yang Xuangan, but instead gloated and had the intention to watch the excitement. Secondly, Zhuyingyang from Hebei basically went to the battlefield of the east, leaving very few guards behind, and had the important task of garrisoning the important towns and passes, so he could not support Yang Xuangan at all. Once again, most of the local armed forces who were reluctant to come to Li Yang were robbed and put on the wrong side. They took advantage of the advantage, and if there was no advantage, they would hide as far as possible. Therefore, Yang Xuangan's conscript order was issued, but the actual implementation effect was very poor.

"Does Li Yang stick to it? Who stick to it?" Li Zixiong was unshirkable and took the initiative to take the responsibility of forming an army. "After the news of You Yuan's death spread, Yue Gong became the target of Hebei people. Any armed forces in Li Yang and its surrounding areas would inevitably scatter. In this way, we can only capture some young and strong people in Li Yang and its surrounding towns. The main source of troops also depends on the boatman and sailors on the Yongji Canal, as well as the transportation labor force going south and north. However, these people cannot form combat effectiveness in the short term. When Yue Gong leads the main force across the river and west to directly kill the Eastern Capital, if Li Yang's defense relies on this group of mobs, it will be in danger, and there will be many dangers."

"Li Yang must stick to it." Yang Xuangan's tone was unquestionable, "Li Yang did not defend and let Hebei people follow and chase after him. We were trapped in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy from both sides. Therefore, Li Yang not only had to stick to it, but also had to take on the important task of restraining Hebei Yingyang, and tried every means to delay the time when the Hebei garrison army crossed the river and joined the Dongdu battlefield." Yang Xuangan looked at Li Zixiong and asked solemnly, "Extraordinary moments, extraordinary strategies are needed. What will happen to Jianchang Gong?"

Li Zixiong secretly despised Yang Xuangan's courage. In comparison, the old Yue Duke Yang Su had a big pattern. Although the government and the country were full of political enemies, he also had many political allies and had high trust between them. This is also one of the important reasons why the old Yue Duke Yang Su had survived safely in the political storms. The size of the pattern determines the size of his mind, and the size of his mind determines the size of his career. Yang Xuangan's pattern is not high and his mind is limited, but he plans to do great things. In the past, Li Zixiong disagreed with this, and now he feels that Yang Xuangan is a person with great ambitions and talent. Especially after many in-depth exchanges with Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong was deeply inspired to examine the past, present and future of Middle Earth from a overlooked perspective. So his views on this mutiny gradually changed, and he even sneered at Yang Xuangan's conspiracy to usurp the country.

Now Li Zixiong knows why Li Fengyun was pessimistic about this mutiny early. This is the reason. Yang Xuangan was determined to die. What was stunned was that Yang Xuangan and his mutiny allies not only did not realize that they were committing death, but were all full of confidence and passion. What was wrong with this? Is it because the wealthy families were overly intoxicated by self-expansion and were confused, or is it that the enemy's trap was too hidden and released too thick, which made Yang Xuangan and others fall into it and completely lose their direction?

"Suppose you are frank." Li Zixiong said bluntly without hesitation, "Black hair has long deduced the changes in the situation in the Eastern Capital. Today's crisis is in his plan, and the response has been deployed long ago."

"The white hair has captured Yique, and the army is at the city of Dongdu, attracting all the attention of Dongdu. In this situation, even if Li Yang has an accident, Yue Gong can raise his troops calmly. Now You Yuan suddenly dies, Li Yang has a major accident. Although Yue Gong can raise his troops calmly with the cooperation of Bai Hai, he must guard Li Yang to block Cui Hongsheng and Hebei people's followers and chases, otherwise he will be in danger of being attacked from both sides. How to resolve it? The white hair countermeasure is very simple. His army will guard Li Yang. At present, the white hair subordinates on the other side of the river are almost all from Hebei, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Sun Xuanya, Shi Juegui, Li Gongyi, etc. It is said that the Hebei Hongru Liu Xuan is also among them. What does this mean?"

What does this mean? Yang Xuangan, Hu Shidan and others understood as soon as they heard it. In fact, they had guessed that Li Fengyun's real purpose in the south bank of the river was not only the grain of Li Yang Cang, but also Li Yang, an important southern town in Hebei. Once the alliance army entered Hebei from Li Yang, it would achieve a war from Mengshan to Taihang Mountain. In other words, Li Fengyun was using Yang Xuangan to make profits by using the Dongdu mutiny, which was equivalent to slapping his hands hard.

Yang Xuangan and his allies' faces were a great shame, how could they bear it? How could they do what they wished? Although giving Li Yang to Li Fengyun and the alliance army to block Cui Hongsheng and the Hebei army was indeed a great plan to win multiple goals in one go, it was unbearable. Yang Xuangan and his allies would never hand over the control of this mutiny to Li Fengyun and to a notorious thief. That was not only suicide, but also hurt the noble hearts of the aristocratic families.
