On the first day of June, Liyang, an astonishing news suddenly came out. The naval commander came to protect the other side, and the deputy chief supervisor Zhou Fashang raised troops to rebel. The naval warships were coming up along the river, which had seriously endangered the safety of the Eastern Capital.

This news shocked Li Yang, and its reliability was unquestionable, because the person who sent the news was Li Zixiong, the famous General of the Left Imperial Guard.

Yang Xuangan, Minister of Rites, ordered Li Yang and its surrounding counties and counties to report to the Dongdu and the Holy Lord far away in Liaodong, but the far water could not save the near fire. In order to ensure the safety of the Dongdu, Li Yang had to do his best to intercept it. For this reason, Yang Xuangan asked Li Yang and all the troops around Li Yang and its surroundings, whether Yingyang Guards or local village clan armed forces, to arrive outside Li Yang City before midnight on the second day of the lunar month, otherwise they would be severely punished. In addition, Yang Xuangan also specially designated a group of local officials from the surrounding area, requiring them to take temporary recruitment of civilians to the city of Li Yang before midnight on the second day of the lunar month.

Yang Xuangan also ordered that the Yongji Canal in Liyang section should be blocked immediately by force, and all passing ships on the canal should be requisitioned, and the boatmen, sailors and transporters on the ship should be recruited as soldiers to supplement the shortcomings of the army.

It was midsummer and the scorching sun. The atmosphere in Liyang suddenly became tense, and the up and down speed was running. Everyone was busy, and everyone was breathing violently in sweat. A haze of a disaster was approaching quietly enveloped the entire Liyang.

Yang Xuangan was making the final preparations for raising troops and making the final "sprint", but Li Zixiong had already begun to plan what happened after Li Yang raised troops.

On the afternoon of the first day of the first day, Li Zixiong sailed on the river and met secretly with the alliance chief Chen Rui and Han Yao who came from the other side of the river.

Li Zixiong is a powerful man with a prominent reputation and a temporary weight. Chen Rui and Han Yao are both low-ranking nobles, unknown and authentic little people. The status and strength of the two are too different. Therefore, Chen Rui and Han Yao should not sit opposite each other in front of Li Zixiong, and they are not qualified to stand. However, there are incredible points in the special period. This time, Li Zixiong not only condescends the nobles and summons them personally, but also gives them equal status to sit opposite him. This made Chen Rui and Han Yao feel cold, but they seem to be sweating profusely because of the weather, but in fact they are sweating all over the body.

Li Zixiong's sudden appearance was as expected.

Li Fengyun always maintained close contact with them. Even if they could not communicate instantly, they could still communicate with each other three or five days ago. In addition, Li Fengyun had an innate talent for deduction, so he could still give advice and guidance on the offensive and defensive strategies of the alliance on the Tongji Canal battlefield and Henan battlefield. Chen Rui and Han Yao basically faithfully implemented Li Fengyun's suggestions out of almost blind trust and respect for Li Fengyun. The result was very good. The alliance army not only robbed the Tongji Canal, but also gained a lot on the Henan battlefield. More importantly, Yang Xuangan finally compromised with the alliance and gave a certain amount of food support a few days ago, which solved the alliance's urgent needs, stabilized the alliance's morale, and effectively helped the alliance survive this most difficult period.

It is also because of this that Chen Rui and Han Yao, as well as the General Administration of the Alliance, successfully survived the crisis of trust, eased the tension with the heroes and coaches such as Hebei, Qilu, and to a certain extent, strengthened the cohesion within the alliance, which was conducive to the next army crossing Hebei and attacking Liyangcang.

Li Fengyun had expected this. He told Chen Rui and Han Yao more than once in a very certain tone that Yang Xuangan would definitely compromise, that the alliance would definitely overcome the food crisis, that the Grand General Administration would definitely win the trust of the rich and heroes, and whether the Grand General Administration could always firmly control the alliance in the absence of Li Fengyun is dependent on the alliance. The key to using one victory after another to consolidate and enhance its authority. Force Yang Xuangan to compromise is only a small result of the alliance, and the capture of Li Yangcang is the decisive result of the alliance.

Li Fengyun was full of confidence in the capture of Li Yangcang, and the main reason was that he had tacit cooperation from major Hebei forces such as the Choi clan of Boling and the Li clan of Zhaojun. However, he also had some concerns. He was not worried that he could not take Li Yangcang, but whether he could sweep Li Yangcang.

Capturing Liyang Cang does not mean that you can empty Liyang Cang. If the alliance does not grab enough food to maintain survival for the future period, the road to development will be difficult. The alliance will be difficult to start, and it will be weak, let alone to fight the Northern Territory in the later stage and dominate the northern border. Therefore, Li Fengyun repeatedly instructed Chen Rui and Han Yao to seize all opportunities that can be seized and create opportunities without opportunities. Li Fengyun believes that the only opportunity that the alliance can create should be Li Zixiong. However, Li Fengyun cannot determine when Li Zixiong will escape from Donglai to meet Yang Xuangan, so he is also vague in the letter, and there is no clear and complete specific plan, so he can only let Chen Rui and Han Yao act according to the opportunity.

As a result, the opportunity fell from the sky, Chen Rui and Han Yao were overjoyed, but who is Li Zixiong? What is their status? Even if the two "return to the head" and say something, they can convince Li Zixiong by relying on them? The two of them had no confidence at all, so they came with a bit of the bullet. Take one step, see one step, and act according to the opportunity.

Li Zixiong was quite polite and very proud. After he asked Chen Rui and Han Yao to sit down, he pretended to be approachable and kind, and chatted for a few words of family matters. Then he looked calm and showed his majesty, and went straight to the point, "Do you two hear about the relationship between me and your chief executive? Or do you know very well?"

Chen Rui and Han Yao looked at each other, and a hint of uneasiness flashed across their eyes, but this opportunity in front of them was once a lifetime, so they should not be missed no matter what. The two nodded at the same time and smiled at the same time. Chen Rui took the lead and said, "The chief executive had an instructor before leaving."

Li Zixiong frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

He knew that before Li Fengyun went to Yuzhou, he would definitely give face-to-face advice to his confidants who stayed behind the alliance, and the content was definitely related to Li Yang. This was also one of the important reasons why he decided to stay behind Li Yang after seeing Yang Xuangan and others blindly confident in the mutiny. In his opinion, since the mutiny had no hope of success, he would of course do his best to support the King of Qi to go north to the frontier. Whether the King of Qi could make a difference in the northern border or even eventually win the world, Li Fengyun and his alliance were indispensable, not only because Li Fengyun was supported by Hebei people behind Li Fengyun, but also because the huge force standing at the top of power that really controlled Li Fengyun was the huge force standing at the top of power. Once the King of Qi won the secret support of this force, it would be easy to wait for the opportunity to win the world.

Although the eagerness in Li Zixiong's eyes flashed, it happened to be captured by Han Yao keenly, so he made a clear hint to Chen Rui without hesitation, "The chief executive speculated that the Ming Guild had joined the Yue Guild before and after the mutiny."

Chen Rui understood it and immediately said, "The chief executive once said that if Ming Gong goes to Dongdu, he will inevitably have a fierce conflict with Yue Gong."

"The Grand Chief Manager said that when the King of Qi came, with the relationship between Ming Duke and Qi, Yue Gong not only did not trust Ming Duke, but even turned against Ming Duke in a critical moment, and did unfavorable things to Ming Duke." Han Yao followed Chen Rui and made an addition.

Li Zixiong was convinced of Li Fengyun's prediction. When he was in Qi County, Li Fengyun warned him and even advised him not to return to Donglai, but Li Zixiong was too confident and had great expectations for the mutiny. As a result, Li Fengyun's warning became a reality and he almost died in Donglai. Now Chen Rui and Han Yao are singing together, on the one hand, proving to him that Li Fengyun trusts them and speaks everything, on the other hand, it represents that Li Fengyun dissuads him to stay away from Yang Xuangan. To put it bluntly, Li Fengyun has not been optimistic about this mutiny from beginning to end.

Li Zixiong thought a little and roughly made an inference about Li Fengyun's layout in the Central Plains. Li Fengyun's focus was not on the Dongdu, but in Liyangcang. This was a matter of being in Qi County. However, taking down Liyangcang is completely different from emptying Liyangcang. Li Fengyun must use the deterioration of the situation in the Dongdu to attract various rebellion troops, drag down the rebellion troops, and thus loot the alliance army and successfully escape the siege of the Weifu Army.

The interception won enough time, but in this way, it would be difficult for Li Zixiong to use the alliance's strength to stick to Li Yang's plan to achieve it. Li Fengyun is definitely unwilling to let the alliance expose his true purpose too early. The earlier the alliance's purpose of looting Li Yangcang is exposed, the greater the possibility of failure in going north. After all, the alliance's strength is limited. Once it becomes the ultimate target of the Holy Lord and the Guardian Army, the alliance will probably have a very slim chance of survival, let alone going north.

"Your chief manager hopes that I will stay in Liyang?" Li Zixiong asked tentatively.

Chen Rui and Han Yao were secretly surprised, but they did not show their expressions. One looked serious and said nothing, while the other was thinking, and hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "Ming Gong stayed in Liyang, controlled the overall situation, planned the strategy, and was beneficial to the King of Qi, and also to our alliance."

Li Zixiong heard the implicit meaning, "If King Qi comes from Qilu, will you cross the river and go north?"

Chen Rui and Han Yao nodded at the same time. When the King of Qi is here, of course he has to cross the river. Should he still stay in Henan and fight with the King of Qi to lose both sides?

"Then you will hit Li Yang?" Li Zixiong continued to ask.

Chen Rui and Han Yao nodded repeatedly.

"Hebei people cannot participate in this mutiny, and there are a large number of Hebei people in the alliance, so whether from the standpoint of Hebei wealthy families or from our needs for survival, the alliance must attack Liyang and Liyangcang after crossing the river." Chen Rui explained, "After the King of Qi came, in order to express his position to the Holy Lord and Dongdu, he would also divide his troops to cross the river, and he would not only attack Ming Gong and kill us, so the three of us fell into a melee on the north and south sides of the Great Henan. The melee between us must be happy to see it. This not only won them time to defeat Duke Yue (Yang Xuangan) but also avoided the dilemma of falling into the multi-line combat."

Li Zixiong nodded frequently, stroked his beard and smiled, and then asked a key question, "What should I do to defend Li Yang?"
