Chapter 548: Wonderful Night

Li Fengyun's evacuation through Xingyang will definitely change the situation of the battle. Even if Zhou Fashang gave up the pursuit, Dong Chun, Xingyang prefect Yang Qing, and even Qi Wang Yang Nan of Liyang, would delay the pace of entering the Dongdu battlefield by chasing and suppressing the rebels. This reduced Yang Xuangan's pressure on the Dongdu battlefield and gave him more time to break through Tongguan and enter Guanzhong.

Li Fengyun's goal is to cross the river north. If reinforcements from various guards follow and chase after him, it will be difficult to cross the river north. Fortunately, Li Fengyun was prepared and always under the banner of Han Prime Minister. It can be predicted that when he leaves Xingyang, there will inevitably be a plan to escape. However, Li Fengyun's escape too quickly is obviously not conducive to Han Shiye and the feeling of defending the Xingyang battlefield, and it is even more unfavorable for them to safely withdraw from Dongdu. Therefore, Yang Xuangan weighed repeatedly and intended to make Han Shiye and Gu Jue make their own choices at the critical moment of life and death. Instead of being wiped out, it would be better to follow Li Fengyun to go north. In this way, Han Shiye and Gu Jue not only safeguard themselves, but also represent

Yang Xuangan continues to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun. In the future, one of the two sides is in Guanzhong and the other is in northern Xinjiang, which is just in a distance and is in support of each other. Both of them can play a role in restraining Dongdu. This is completely in line with the interests of both sides. Li Fengyun's purpose of actively entering the Dongdu battlefield was like this. Therefore, as long as Han Shiyan and Gu Jue can understand Yang Xuangan's intentions and are willing to continue to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun on behalf of him, Li Fengyun will definitely welcome him. Of course, if Han Shiyan and Gu Jue are unwilling to "become a bandit", they have to withdraw from Dongdu and follow Yang Xuangan westward into Guanzhong, Yang Xuangan will not blame them.

However, this order still reflects some "incline" of Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan hopes that they will last longer in the Xingyang battlefield, but the longer they will persist, the greater the possibility of annihilation of the entire army. If you want to protect yourself, you must win Li Fengyun's cooperation and you must "sell" yourself to Li Fengyun in order to win Li Fengyun's help. Since you "sell" yourself to Li Fengyun, of course you have to "sell" a good price, and stick with Yang Xuangan's mark to continue to maintain cooperation between the two parties and seek future interests, of course your value will double. Yang Xuangan's "incline" will definitely affect the decisions of Han Shiyan and Gu Jue.

This is the reason why Hu Shidan sighed. Since entering the Dongdu battlefield, both sides have fought wits and courage to seize control, but Yang Xuangan tried his best to fail Li Fengyun, but he was "led by the nose" by Li Fengyun and was restrained everywhere. Now he has placed Han Shiyan and Gu Jue on the battlefield in Xingyang on Li Fengyun. Not only did he give it to Li Fengyun more than 10,000 elite soldiers, but he also whispered to others to "take" him. He was so frustrated that he died.

While Yang Xuangan was concerned about the battlefield in Xingyang, the situation in Xingyang was deteriorating rapidly, and the situation was very unfavorable to Han Shiyan and Gu Jue.

On June 30th, Zhou Fashang personally rushed to Luokou to supervise the battle. Wu Benlang's general Fei Qingnu attacked Luokou with all his might, firmly restraining Han Shiyan. Wu Benlang will follow Zhou Fashang's order to use a feint to attack Luokoucang and restrain the rebels, and at the same time, he will suddenly run to Hulao with the main force. If Hulao is lost, Han Shiyan will be surrounded on the line between Luokou and Huangmaban. What's more serious is that with Hulao's fall, the entire Xingyang battle situation will collapse quickly. Next, reinforcements from various Weifu will swarm into the Dongdu battlefield, which will be too serious for the mutiny alliance. However, if the Luokou and Huangmaban lines are abandoned, the navy troops will face Hulao and surround Luokoucang, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Xingyang battlefield and the Dongdu battlefield. Han Shiyan and Gu Jue were actually surrounded on the Xingyang battlefield and were about to be destroyed.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Han Shiye made a decisive decision, and would rather have his entire army be wiped out than to stand on the battlefield in Xingyang to restrain reinforcements from various guards, so as to get more time for Yang Xuangan to enter Guanzhong. Han Shiye ordered to give up Luokou, give up Huangmaban, withdraw from Hulao to defend, and let the navy cut off his ties with the Dongdu battlefield.

At dusk, Zhou Fashang's warship was moored in Luokou. Fei Qingnu's troops arrived at Huzhu. When he came to Zheng, he led the main force to continue attacking Luokoucang to threaten Yang Xuangan on the battlefield in Dongdu.

On the same day, at Jindi Pass in Xingyang County, Dong Chun, the remaining guard of Pengcheng, rushed to attack, while the alliance chief manager Lu Mingxing defended the pass, and the two sides fought very fiercely, arrows were like clouds, drums shook the sky, and the sound of killing was shocking. Even the navy warships on the river could clearly feel the murderous aura soaring to the sky.

However, this "tactic understanding" is temporary. If the main force of the alliance is unable to evacuate the Dongdu battlefield for a long time, if the situation in Dongdu is becoming increasingly unfavorable to Li Fengyun, this "tactic understanding" will not be maintained and will eventually break up. Fortunately, Dong Chun has no advantage in military strength and has suffered heavy losses by forcing the tough attack, which will inevitably affect the future planning of King Yang Nan of Qi. Therefore, even if the two sides break up, Dong Chun dares not fight to defeat both sides. However, at most he will "let go" Lu Mingxing, but he is powerless to do anything to Li Fengyun.

Dong Chun was worried about this and secretly asked his nephew Dong Jun to contact the Allied Army in the city several times to find out Li Fengyun's whereabouts, but Lu Mingxing also knew nothing, was anxious and could not sleep day and night.

On the same day, Lu Mingxing sent an envoy to find the Wagang brothers and finally met the Wagang coach Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin lurking on the old road of the Yellow River.

Lu Mingxing asked the Wagang brothers to do two favors. One was to provide a response when the main force of the alliance evacuated Xingyang. The response method was not too dangerous. It was just to disguise the Song Yu Yijun, who disguised the Korean Prime Minister, and "showed his face" outside several towns on the south bank of the Jishui River, so as to achieve the purpose of deceiving the government and helping the main force of the alliance "get rid of the shell" and leave. The second was to ask Xu Shiyi to rush to Hebei. As for what the purpose was, everyone had a plan in their minds and tacitly understood.

Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin agreed immediately, and this little busy was not worth mentioning, and it was just a small task. So the troops were divided into two groups. Zhai Rang led some of his brothers to the river north to meet Xu Shiyu, preparing ships to help Li Fengyun cross the river north, while Shan Xiongxin led some of his brothers to the Jishui River and secretly lurked in the defense line of heaven. Once the alliance army evacuated Xingyang, they disguised themselves as Song Yu Yijun and followed the plan.

On June 30th, the general manager came to protect the lord on the Donglai Naval Division, and the chief Cui Junsu received the order of the Holy Lord.

The Holy Lord issued an edict on the 16th of this month, ordering them to give up the expedition across the sea, concentrate all their strength, and rush to Dongdu to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible. The first task is to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal of the North and South, and secondly, to ensure the safety of the Dongdu. The Zuo Yigu General Yuwen Shu is fully responsible for the suppression of the rebellion. The Holy Lord asked to come to protect his son, and Zhou Fashang must cooperate and support Yuwen Shu, striving to quell the storm at the minimum cost in the shortest time.

Lai Hu'er was already ready to cross the sea expedition and was ready to set off. However, at the critical moment, Zhou Fashang was 100,000 yuan and sent a letter. King Yang Nan of Qi first entered the Liyang battlefield, resulting in an indefinite delay in the restoration of the Grand Canal of the North and South. It is certain that the Eastern Expedition is no longer sustainable. The Holy Lord and the Expedition Force must withdraw from the country. The navy must not be anxious to cross the sea expedition to avoid being trapped in Pyongyang and encountering accidents again. Lai Hu'er was very decisive and resolutely postponed his trip to the sea. As a result, the Holy Lord's edict to stop the Eastern Expedition arrived two days later.

Lai Hu'er was decisive and decisive. After reading the Holy Lord's edict and giving the order to rush to the Dongdu to quell the rebellion, the navy warship, who was ready to sail to the sea under his command, heading straight to the mouth of the river.

On the first day of July, early in the morning, under the cover of night, Wei Wensheng led the soldiers of Xijing to march in the mountains and forests with difficulty and slowly.

The soldiers were hungry and relying solely on their strong will and killing horses to satisfy their hunger. They crossed mountains and ridges for more than 200 miles to retreat to Shaanxi City. It was too difficult, especially those seriously injured, who were seriously lacking medicine, and there might not be many who could survive in the end. Therefore, Wei Wensheng placed his first target on Matou Mountain thirty or forty miles away. Yesterday, the scouts carefully explored the Matou Mountain area with hunters in the mountains and found that there were not many rebels stationed on Matou Mountain, which gave Wei Wensheng a glimmer of hope.

Matou Mountain is located in the west of Mianchi City, and the rebels' blocking direction is in the east of Mianchi City. Unless the Xijing army breaks through the east defense line, the rebels will not put the main army in the west. Therefore, Wei Wensheng does have the opportunity to capture Matou Mountain. In this way, he has room for maneuver and has the opportunity to meet Zheng Yuanshou in Mianchi City. If it really doesn't work, he can block Yang Xuangan by taking over the danger of Matou Mountain, so that the wounded can quickly withdraw from Shaanxi City to win time. Of course, Shaanxi City can also quickly replenish food weapons. In short, as long as Wei Wensheng takes down Matou Mountain, the Xijing army will still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory and losing the consequences.

Pang Yu, the prison gate, acted as a vanguard again. He led the elite troops of the Imperial Guards up the mountain at dusk and rushed to Matou Mountain first. In the early morning, Pang Yu led his army to Matou Mountain and quickly launched a sneak attack. The result was unbelievable. The camps on the mountain were empty and there was no trace of the rebels. He took down Matou Mountain without any effort. Pang Yu ordered the formation of a dangerous formation, and at the same time sent a scout to inquire about military information in the direction of Mianchi, and then urgently reported to Wei Wensheng.

When Wei Wensheng heard the news, he was overjoyed and called "lucky". Although he didn't know why the rebels suddenly evacuated Matou Mountain, Matou Mountain was the most important thing. God gave him a chance to make a comeback, and this opportunity could not be missed no matter what.

Wei Wensheng ordered that the good news be told to the soldiers of the army to inspire morale and speed up the marching.

Almost at the same time, on the line between Qianqiu Pavilion and Gu Bobi, under the cover of night, the alliance army quietly crossed the river.

When the rooster crowed, Li Fengyun and Yuan An led two hundred Fengyun Guards to cross the Gushui River, and then advanced towards Hangu Pass with great strides.

When Chaoyang rose eastward, Li Fengyun and his alliance soldiers were close to Hangu Pass.

In the west of Mianchi City, Pang Yu, general of the Zhige of the Supervisor, Hu Siwanshou, general of Wu Benlang, and thousands of soldiers under his command were cautious, shocked and suspicious, and incredibly "killed" at Mianchi City. Where are the rebels? Why are there no trace?

Similarly, Zheng Yuanshou, Dugu Wudu and Wei Fuzhao, who were standing on the city tower, were stunned and unbelievable when they broke through? Where were the rebels? What happened that night?

At the same time, Yang Xuangan commanded the army to launch an attack on the front line of Xiaoxin Ancheng, and what was welcoming him? What was he facing?
