Chapter 497 A hooligan against a group of hooligans

With the tough insistence of Wei Wensheng and Xijing reform forces, the troops supporting Dongdu reached 25,000, while the troops supporting Heyou were 10,000, and only 5,000 left behind Xijing. The local forces in Guanlong were forced to compromise. Jingzhao Neishifu temporarily recruited 5,000 young and strong men to supplement the lack of garrison power, but recruiting troops took time. At this time, if Wei Wensheng took the army away, Xijing would be useless and empty city plans, it was actually very dangerous. Especially in the current situation, Xijing must have hidden a large number of forces supporting Yang Xuangan. Once they took advantage of the emptiness of Xijing, they would echo Yang Xuangan on the battlefield of Dongdu, Guanzhong would be in danger.

This endangers the fundamental interests of the Guanlong people and the future of the Dai Wang Yang You. It is reasonable for Wei Jie to give appropriate "reminders". No one prevents you from supporting Dongdu, but before leaving Xijing, you must at least ensure the safety of Xijing.

But in Wei Wensheng's eyes, Wei Jie's words were deliberately obstructed. Although he could not find a reason to refute and did not want to exaggerate the reason, it touched his "bottom line". He wanted to launch a fierce counterattack to let the local forces in Guanlong see that in the face of the interests of the country, there was no room for bargaining, and any obstruction was futile, and he eventually shot himself in the foot.

On the morning of June 16, Wen Sheng, the guard of Xijing left behind, ordered that Yang Yue, the cousin of Yang Su, Linzhen Duke Yang Yue, who was arrested in Xijing, as well as more than 20 Hongnong Yang family children, including Yang Li and Yang Cao, and Yang Xuangan's relatives and relatives in Xijing, as well as about 30 relatives and friends of Yang Xuangan's brothers in Xijing, as well as about 50 relatives and friends of Li Zixiong, Wang Zhongbo, Zhao Huaiyi, Hu Shidan and other relatives and friends of each other, and a total of more than 100 noble bureaucrats, all of them were taken to the East City and beheaded and displayed on the public.

For a moment, people were rolling and blood was flowing into a river, and Xijing was shocked.

When the news reached the ears of the King of Dai, the King of Dai was shocked at that time and hurriedly begged Wei Jie to stop him. Although he was the nominal supreme commander of Xijing, he was an eight-year-old child and an ignorant puppet. His influence was too small and he could not stop Wei Wensheng from killing people.

Wei Jie was furious. He knew that this was Wei Wensheng's "counterattack" and a warning to the local forces in Guanlong. If you deliberately obstruct me to support Dongdu, I would kill more people. Wei Jie sighed to the sky, and he could not stop Wei Wensheng. Although Wei Wensheng had no right to kill these people at all, Wei Wensheng could frame them and say that they were conspiring to rebel and obstruct him to support Dongdu. He had no choice but to do this worst policy, kill someone Yu Jingjing, on the one hand, eliminate hidden dangers, and on the other hand, intimidate the little kids, and ensure that Xijing can still be safe and sound when the garrison power is seriously insufficient.

No one else who tried to obstruct Wei Wensheng had time. When they arrived in Dongshi, there were heads in front of them, and it was already a fait accompli. No one could get rid of the Yu faction and were "framed" by Wei Wensheng. You said you didn't know about this, who believed it? You said that Wei Wensheng was alone, who believed it? Who did you have time to stop it? In the end, the Holy Lord could only come to a conclusion that everyone had a share in this matter and could not escape.

The Hongnong Yang family is the foundation of the royal family and the greatest vested interests. It is the "target" of various aristocratic groups and major wealthy families. If you have the opportunity to severely inflict the Hongnong Yang family, you can not only weaken the power of the royal family, but also divide the vested interests of the Hongnong Yang family and the royal family. Of course, everyone flocks to it.

Now that things have come to this point, what should I do? Only by breaking into the East and defeating Yang Xuangan, confirming Yang Xuangan's charge, destroying the political forces headed by Yang Xuangan, and causing the Hongnong Yang family to suffer unprecedented heavy damage, so that the Holy Lord could not find an excuse for revenge, and making Hongnong Yang family unable to recover and lose the power of revenge. The arrow was drawn without turning back. Since he was already a "evil person", then let's do the "evil person" to the end.

It was originally a very complicated thing, killing Wei Wensheng like this was simple, but Wei Wensheng destroyed the "rules" of the aristocratic families. He was a political "hooligan" and a political hooligan who was desperate. Under normal circumstances, such people had no place to live in the officialdom. As long as they emerged and waited for him, they would definitely be "one thousand arrows to penetrate the body". But in this extraordinary period, Wei Wensheng was forced to use "hooligan" to deal with a large group of "hooligans" and finally achieved his goal. Then the consequences were serious. Wei Wensheng offended all the aristocratic families and became an "anomian" in the officialdom. After this storm, the Holy Lord might still need him and would give him support. His career could continue, but he could no longer win the support of the aristocratic families. A powerful man who lost his support would definitely do nothing politically. To put it bluntly, it was a "decoration" and was worshipped by the aristocratic bureaucrats on the "altar" to enjoy the "incense".

In the eyes of the reformists, Wei Wensheng destroyed all obstacles in Xijing at the cost of his political life and won precious time to send troops to support Dongdu. He left a tragic figure for this era. In the eyes of the conservatives, Wei Wensheng used the "rogue" means to the extreme, and died with Xijing with the "powder barrel". He was already "dead", and what survived was just a body.

On the afternoon of June 16, the King of Dai Yang You ordered that Wensheng, the guard of Xijing, be the commander, Mingya, the Minister of War, be the deputy, and Du Yan, the Censor, be the supervisor. He led 25,000 troops and set out tomorrow morning to rush to assist the Eastern Capital.

June 16th, Dongdu Battlefield.

The evacuation in the imperial city is still continuing, but the central officials led by Gao Xiaoji, the Minister of Personnel, have arrived in Heyang and are establishing Xingtai Province. After all the central government and its affiliated bureaucrats arrive, they can take over the daily work of the central government on behalf of the Dongdu and maintain the operation of the central government. Under the protection of Dugu Sheng, the concubines in the palace city also arrived at the Zhanshui camp established in the northwest of Heyang City at the same time.

But it is not only people who need to evacuate, but also many confidential files. The evacuation workload is too large, and the flow rate of the Dengjin Pass on the river is very limited. Even if you cross the river day and night, it is too late to ensure the central government's retreat first. Therefore, Mengjin, located dozens of miles northwest of Dengjin, became the evacuation channel for the nobles and wealthy people. However, they lack the protection of the army, and the Heyin City on the other side is also seriously lacking in relief supplies. You can imagine what consequences this will cause. However, the east can no longer care about these. Even if it is in chaos and starvation, it can only be ignored and everyone will have their destiny.

The Heavenly King Zhongbo successfully attacked on the eastern line of Shandong, captured the Yamato Valley, cut off the Mengjin channel, and then quickly rectified the troops and advanced to the western line of Shandong.

Wu Benlang General Li Gongting was on the line of Mangshan and looked at each other. With no choice, he decisively gave up Yamato Valley and instead concentrated his troops on Pingcheng and Pingting to ensure that Jingu is not lost.

That afternoon, Yang Xuanting captured Pingcheng and then directed the army to advance towards Linpingting.

Mr. Li guarded Linping Pavilion to the death and asked King Yue for help again.

On this day, the Hangu Pass defenders surrendered without fighting. Yang Jishan's soldiers took the pass without bloodshed, and then led the main force to kill Jingu. However, they encountered a stubborn obstacle from the Wei army on the Lishui line and could not advance in an instant.

On this day, Li Fengyun transferred Zhen Baoche's Hu Ben Army and Guo Ming's alliance first and third troops to the North Dike of Jicuichi to maintain a restrained attack on the imperial city, while Han Xiangguo gathered the deserters on the Gushui line and reorganized the team.

On that day, Yang Xuangan was commanding the battle in the Pierce of Sun Square, fighting fiercely with the Guards on the north bank of the ecliptic channel, East Gate of Sun and Hui'anmen Street. Although there has not been any progress so far, the continuous attack forced the imperial guards to fight with all their strength, because there are nearly a hundred "supervisors" behind them. As long as they relax a little, they may be charged with "slack of war". Yang Gongren and Fan Zigai were worried that some people in the city would turn against each other and some surrendered, but they could not arrest all the suspects. In desperation, they could only place several "supervisors" in each team and brigade, so that they could open their eyes wide for twelve hours. Anyone who behaved abnormally should be arrested first.

On that day, Zheng Yuanshou received a letter from Dugu Wudu, the capital of the Jingfu, and confirmed that Xijing had decided to send troops to reinforce the Dongdu. He ordered Zhu Yingyang to leave Shaanxi City, advance along Shandong, and head towards Hangu Pass to kill the Dongdu directly.

June 16th, the battlefield of the white horse.

Wu Ben Lang General Li Shanheng launched a fierce battle with the alliance on the southern front of the Wei Dynasty. At the same time, King Yang Nan of Qi and Dong Chun led his army to Lingchang, forming a force of attacking east and west with Li Shanheng.

On the same day, the messenger of Wei Baoluan, the governor of Jiyin County, arrived in Junyi City. Wei Fusi disguised himself as a messenger's entourage and mingled into the city. Then he abandoned his horse and boarded a boat, and went north to the river along the Tongji Canal.

On the same day, Huo Xiaohan, the general manager of the right side of the alliance, led his army to withdraw from the Lingchang line to the White Horse, and met with the right chief of the alliance, Han Yao, and prepared to cross the river and head north.

On the same night, Wang Bo, the left manager of the alliance, evacuated the Weinan line and ran to the white horse under the cover of night.

June 16th, Liyang battlefield.

The left-ranking chief of the alliance, Chen Rui, personally visited Zhang Jin, the leader of the Qinghe Rebel Army, and expressed his gratitude to him, and informed him that the alliance would evacuate Liyang one after another in the next two days.

Chen Rui told Zhang Jin that he had analyzed and deduced the future development of Liyang's situation in detail, and reminded Zhang Jin that he must evacuate Liyang in two days. Although there is still a lot of food in Liyang Cang and all kinds of materials in Liyang Cang are still piled up like mountains, but it is too late. The military of the Guards are coming from all directions. The rebels must "escape" before the military forces encircled Liyang, otherwise there will be a disaster of annihilation of the entire army.

In addition, Chen Rui specifically warned Zhang Jin that the hundreds of thousands of civilians who were brought by him were slow to walk, and the evacuation speed was even slower. If they did not evacuate early, these people would inevitably be trapped in the hands of the Guardian Army, so the heads were rolling, and innocent civilians were all chopped down as traitors, which would be a disaster for the people of Hebei.

On the same day, Liu Heita led his army to the upper reaches of Dangshui, hid in the deep mountains and forests, and sent scouts to inquire about the movements in Tangyin and Jiangli, looking for a good opportunity to attack.

On the same day, Hao Xiaode led his army to protect the alliance's old, weak, women and children, as well as looting objects. He crossed the boundary of Ji County and marched towards Linlu Mountain. More than a hundred miles behind him, Han Shou, the general manager of the cavalry, left Liyang with more people and supplies.

On the same day, Hebei ambassador Cui Hongsheng and alliance chief manager Sun Xuanya continued to fight on the Neihuang front line, with a strong momentum, but progress was slow.
