Yuanwuben continued to delay and looked for various reasons to refuse to surrender. The most important reason was that he wanted to see the King of Qi. He wanted to present Liyang City to the King of Qi instead of Li Shanheng. This revealed a hidden message: I know that you and the King of Qi have "break up" and are bullying the Lord. If this matter spreads, it will be very unfavorable for you. So don't bully people too much, don't force each other. If you attack forcefully, I will defend myself and even if I die, I will take a custody.

Li Shanheng carefully weighed the pros and constrained camp outside the city. Yuanwu was originally a perseverance in the city, and he forced to attack the tough. He was in a passive position and had no large-scale siege equipment. If he attacked for a strong attack, he would suffer a loss. Even if he captured it, the loss would be great. Besides, Cui Hongsheng was in the inner yellow area more than 100 miles away, and Chen Ling, the deputy guard of Zhuo County, probably was about to arrive. If he could not capture it for a long time and the King of Qi was delayed, it would become a situation of "snipe and clam fighting", and eventually Cui Hongsheng and Chen Ling would be in vain.

Li Shanheng ordered the subsequent army to speed up the crossing of the river and to all rushed to Liyang City before dusk. He also sent several teams of light cavalry to appear outside Liyang Cang to deter Hebei thieves and try their best to drive them away.

He also sent messengers to Neihuang and sent a letter to Cui Hongsheng. In name, he made an appointment to attack Liyang and suppress the rebels together. In fact, he told Cui Hongsheng that the King of Qi is here and the credit for recapturing Liyang is the King of Qi. Don’t rob it. In addition, the Hebei thieves have robbed Liyang Cang for many days, so it’s time to stop. Although I also know that Hebei has suffered severe disasters in the past two years, there are many victims and life is not easy. But everything is enough, just leave some room for each other. Don’t make a big fight. It would be boring.

At this time, Zhang Jin, the commander of the Qinghe Rebel Army, said that he had led his army to evacuate. Although he was salivating at Li Yangcang, there was no way. The Weifu army came across the river. The situation was urgent and life was important. If he delayed it, he would definitely have the life to rob him but enjoy him, and it would be useless. Those who are still robbing Li Yangcang are basically farmers who came from surrounding townships and villages. They were brave enough to starve to death and were lucky enough to get the bargain. They didn't know that this was the prelude to death and digging their own graves.

On the afternoon of June 18, King Yang Nan of Qi and Pengcheng remained behind. General Dong Chun of Zuo Guard led his army to Baima City. The prefect of Dongjun Dugu Yanshou led a group of bureaucrats out of the city to greet him.

The King of Qi entered the city. Dong Chun stayed outside the city and commanded the Xuzhou army to set up camp in Baimajin, preparing to cross the river to the north the next day. Li Shanheng's letter was delivered at this time, introducing the sharp changes in the situation in Liyang in detail. He strongly recommended that the King of Qi immediately cross the river to the north, recover Liyang, and win the first achievement of suppressing the rebellion.

Dong Chun had already learned about the alliance giving up Li Yang Cang and retreating north quickly, which was also an important reason for his hastily northward. He was also worried that Cui Hongsheng was fast and took the initiative. Although Li Zixiong, an ally in Li Yang City, controls the overall situation, once the alliance in anger attacked Li Yang and helped Cui Hongsheng open Li Yang's gate before leaving, the situation would be unfavorable to the King of Qi. However, the direction of the situation in Li Yang was beyond Dong Chun's expectations. The alliance did not deliberately "revenge" King of Qi, and he left if he said he could not afford to offend him. But Li Zixiong "spent" Li Yang City and left with the alliance at the critical moment, which surprised Dong Chun very much.

What does Li Zixiong mean? What message did he want to send to the King of Qi? From the surface, Li Zixiong left Li Yang and fled, which shows that he was very pessimistic about the battlefield of the Dongdu, had no confidence in Yang Xuangan, and was not optimistic about this mutiny. To put it further, he was very pessimistic about the future of the Dongdu, had no confidence in the Holy Lord, and was not optimistic about the country's destiny, which had suffered from two consecutive years of failure in the Eastern Expedition and this huge storm. From this, it is inferred that the reason why he insisted on the strategy of northward development was to foresee that the great cause of reunification of China and Turkey might collapse in the storm. Once the situation reached that point, if the King of Qi dominated the northern border early, he would definitely win the lead in the future battle.

Li Zixiong adhered to the established strategy and used "actual practice" to persuade the King of Qi to give up his unrealistic fantasy.

Fantasy is a castle in the air, without foundation, it will collapse. "Foundation" means strength, and without strength, there is nothing. Therefore, we must keep a low profile, be low-key, and grow and grow honestly. The reason why Guanlong rose back then was due to strength. The founding of the late emperor also relied on strength. Unifying the country requires strength. The Holy Lord struggled to win the fierce imperial unity war, but the Holy Lord was obviously not strong enough to escort his radical reform. Therefore, he launched a foreign war. Behind the war was the Holy Lord's desire for "martial arts" and the pursuit of absolute strength. Only absolute strength can help him establish and improve and consolidate the centralized system and realize his ideal of great unification.

Strength determines everything, the reason is very simple, but many people are blinded by power and wealth, lost in the out-of-control greed, and imagine that they have unlimited strength in the illusion, but end up being wiped out.

At dusk, Dong Chun entered the city and presented Li Shanheng's letter to King Qi. He made a detailed analysis and deduction of the situation in Li Yang. Then he compared and confirmed the decisions made by Li Shanheng without hesitation to "abuse power" to persuade King Qi that he must adhere to the established strategy.

Although the King of Qi has not yet made a clear statement to go to Beijing to seize the imperial throne, and Dong Chun and Li Shanheng have not made public the conflicts between the monarch and his subjects, the facts are both true. The King of Qi is not strong and goes back on his word. Dong Chun and Li Shanheng's countermeasures are too fierce, and conflicts between the monarch and his subjects are very unfavorable to the interests of the group, so both sides intend to remedy them. The King of Qi came to the White Horse without any objection without any objection, which is actually a compromise with Dong Chun and Li Shanheng. Dong Chun and Li Shanheng also cleverly used the sudden change in the situation in Li Yang in front of him to prove their correct decisions, give the King of Qi a decent step. Everyone put aside the conflicts, abandoned past grudges, worked together to overcome difficulties.

The King of Qi was also surprised by Li Zixiong's behavior of "not protecting his integrity in the evening and being a thief". With Li Zixiong's rich life experience, decades of political game experience, and great wisdom he has cultivated for a long time at the top of power, he is now ruined and willing to be a thief, which has already shown many problems. Li Zixiong is not a person who is afraid of death, nor is he a person who is willing to be a thief. For the sake of justice, he can die, and for the sake of fame, he can die, so Li Zixiong's actions today must have profound meaning. This "deep meaning" King of Qi guessed that Li Zixiong no longer had hope for the Holy Lord and the country's destiny, and believed in the future trend of Middle-earth predicted by Li Fengyun, so Li Zixiong was determined to sacrifice his life.

"Li Zixiong escaped, and the thieves of the alliance also escaped, but the white hair was deeply trapped in the battlefield of the East Capital, and life and death were hanging between the front lines." The King of Qi looked at Li Baiyao sitting beside him, and asked Dong Chun with a pun, "Can you understand this way? Now Li Zixiong abandoned Yang Xuangan, and the thieves of the alliance also abandoned the white hair?"

Dong Chun shook his hand immediately, "The reason why Bai Hai wanted to enter the capital was to trigger the Dongdu crisis was to achieve the goal of the alliance's northward transition. It can be concluded that when the news from Li Yang reached Bai Hai's ears, he had more initiative in the Dongdu battlefield, which would be more conducive to further deteriorating the situation in Dongdu."

After a little pondering, the King of Qi asked again, "Does this mean that Yang Xuangan and Bai Hai will share life and death?"

Dong Chun knew exactly what the King of Qi was thinking, so he decided to mercilessly smash the unscathed luxury in Qi's heart.

"I don't know what Wei Fusi said to the king, nor do I know whether the Wei family in Guanzhong has made a new promise to the king. I only know one thing. The east is a dead land, and Yang Xuangan is deeply trapped in death and wants to die before he can live. So where is his life?" Dong Chun saw the King of Qi's face showing awkward expression and did not want to embarrass him too much, so he asked and answered himself, "If Yang Xuangan's life was Xijing, Guanzhong, and was fighting against the holy lord based on the dangers of Guanlong, it would inevitably have a fierce conflict with the Wei family in Guanzhong, Guanzhong and the wealthy families in Guanzhong and the northwest families. The Guanlong people would never be able to let the war spread to their homes, and they would inevitably block Yang Xuangan from outside Tongguan. The east could be destroyed, but Xijing could not be turned into ruins. This is the bottom line of the Guanlong people and the goal of the Wei family in Guanzhong."

King Qi concentrating his thoughts and quickly clarified his mind. He woke up the person in his dream. He was wrong. He was indeed wrong. He was deliberately led astray by Wei Fusi. He only focused on the Dongdu, but neglected Xijing. In fact, although the storm broke out in the Dongdu, it affected the two capitals. Therefore, the interpretation of the storm must be based on the political situation of the two capitals, and cannot only focus on the corner of the Dongdu, otherwise he will inevitably make wrong judgments.

It turned out that Yang Xuangan's goal was Xijing, Guanzhong, and he dominated Guanlong. In this way, the country's destiny was shaken, the mountains and rivers were shaking, and the great cause of unification fell apart. Zhongtu would surely fall into the abyss of division and war again. But Guanzhong would never make a wedding dress for Yang Xuangan. On the contrary, they would use Yang Xuangan to make a wedding dress for themselves, use Yang Xuangan to destroy the Dongdu, and severely damage the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. This could also achieve the goal of shaking the country's destiny and shaking the Central Earth. Although the different paths were the same, the former was at the cost of sacrificing the interests of the Guanlong people, while the latter was at the cost of sacrificing the interests of the Heluo noble group headed by Yang Xuangan, which was nothing but two things.

The King of Qi's face gradually became gloomy and his eyes were also gloomy. He believed in Wei Fusi and also had high hopes for Wei Shi in Guanzhong. As a result, he was deceived and "sold" by Wei Shi. This time he sold more thoroughly than last time. This time he wanted to sell his life, and to his father, which was too cruel.

After a long silence, the King of Qi finally spoke, "Can Yang Xuangan break through the siege and break into Guanzhong?"

Dong Chun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, OK, finally convinced the King of Qi. Wei Fusi has always "occupied" King of Qi and did not give him and Li Shanheng a chance to persuade him. However, as Li Shanheng brazenly "takes off", he is willing to turn against the alliance and becomes enemies with the alliance, and threatens the King of Qi with force. He wants to kill Li Yang with Li Zixiong at all costs, which leads to the situation on both sides of the river deteriorating rapidly, forcing the alliance to give up its established strategy and go north in advance. In this way, the King of Qi and Li Fengyun and Li Zi

The agreement between Xiong no longer exists, and the three parties have lost their tacit understanding and cannot join forces to control the situation. In addition, the King of Qi was undermined, and Wei Fusi could no longer use the King of Qi to influence the war situation in the Dongdu, so he left decisively. Wei Fusi left, but the King of Qi was still angry and was full of resentment towards Dong Chun and Li Shanheng. Dong Chun still couldn't make any suggestions. He had to find a right and wrong, so that the King of Qi himself could figure it out, and the misunderstanding could be eliminated, and the internal unity could be united again.

Dong Chun did not respond positively, "If Li Yang can effectively restrain various reinforcements and gain more time for Yang Xuangan, there will be a great chance of entering Guanzhong."

"Yang Xuangan broke into Guanzhong, how could Bai Hai break through the Dongdu?" King Qi asked.

Dong Chun showed a meaningful smile, "So, Li Yang is very important. Whoever controls Li Yang can control the situation."

The King of Qi nodded slightly and stood up slowly, "Tell me the order, cross the river overnight and kill Li Yang."
