Chapter 502 Is this statement true?

On the morning of June 18th, Zheng Yuanshou, the right guard general, launched an attack on Hangu Pass, but his offensive was not fierce, and he was obviously reserved and did not do his best.

In the Eastern Capital City, there are King of Yue Yang Tong, Duke of Guan Guo Yang Gongren, and outside the city, there are General Li Hun of the Right Guard and General Li Gongting of Wu Ben Lang. Although the garrison power is insufficient, it can still block Yang Xuangan according to the danger of the city. There is no problem in persisting north of the Luoshui River for a period of time, and the fierce battle between the two sides can also effectively consume Yang Xuangan. In addition, the Xijing army will soon come to support. The two sides will have stronger joint strength and better attack effect. It can completely avoid the danger of being defeated by Yang Xuangan one after another because of the ladder of the battle. In addition, the King of Qi has not yet entered the capital, and the situation is still unclear. Whether this storm will evolve from a military coup to a war of imperial unity is still a matter of two words. We still need to wait patiently, and we must preserve our strength for this purpose.

Yang Jishan saw through Zheng Yuanshou's thoughts and expected that he had no determination to attack Hangu Pass. He was perfunctory to rescue Dongdu. This restraining attack would not pose a fatal threat to Hangu Pass. So he decisively divided his troops into the Lishui line and continued to attack Li Hun to restrain some of the Guard troops, help Yang Xuanting cut off the connection between the imperial city and the Jingu, and complete the four siege of the Dongdu.

On the same morning, Wang Zhongbo launched an attack on Linpingting and continued to "drag" Li Gongting on the western line of Shanxi, making it impossible for him to support Li Hun.

Yang Xuanting tried his best to attack Jinyong City, returned to Luocang and launched an attack, fighting fiercely with Li Hun on the north side of the city.

Yang Xuangan continued to attack the imperial city, and his soldiers fought bloody battles on the north bank of the ecliptic channel, East Sun Gate and Hui'anmen Street.

In the direction of Jicuichichi, although the alliance army on the North Dike and the Guard Army were fighting fiercely, they obviously achieved some kind of "tactic understanding". Your purpose is to restrain, and my purpose is to restrain. Since this is the case, there is no need to kill you to the death. So the thunder sounds loud and the drums are shook the sky, the killing sounds like thunder, and the arrows are like rain. In fact, there is almost no direct contact between the soldiers on both sides.

Yuebi, the southern dike of Jicui Pond, has been captured by the Alliance army, and the south bank of the Yellow Channel is also under the control of the Alliance army. The same is true for the southern dike of Tongji Canal. There is no deafening drums or thrilling killing. It is quiet, against the backdrop of the sword light and sabers on the north bank, it looks extremely strange and makes people feel inexplicably panic.

Nan Guo was indeed in panic, and the shadow of death enveloped the entire Nan Guo, making the people in the city frightened and uneasy and suffocated. However, the bloody killings expected did not happen, the fires and smoke were not seen, and even the city gates were not opened. The streets and several lifangs that were originally blocked by the Guardian army were still in the blockade, and nothing had changed. Even most civilians did not know that Nan Guo had fallen.

The soldiers of the alliance absolutely followed Li Fengyun's order. They rushed in from the left and right gates of the Houwei Mansion located on the south bank of the ecliptic channel, and then rushed into Fengdu City and Datong City along the blocked streets. The rich merchants in the market had long run away, and the servants who stayed to see the shop did not dare to "draw a chariot" at all, and allowed the soldiers of the alliance to "sweep" wantonly. The soldiers of the alliance who "sweeped" the market returned the same way and moved the spoils to the south bank of Tongji Canal. The next thing was the matter of the Han Prime Minister. The elderly, weak and women and children of the Song Yu Yi army joined forces, packed and transferred the ship, and then went downstairs with people and goods to Luokou Cang.

That morning, on the south embankment of Tongji Canal, Li Fengyun, Li Mi and Han Xiangguo stood under the shade of a big willow tree, watching the "trophy" loading the ship while fierce negotiations.

Li Mi was in a bad mood, was in a bad mood, frowned, and was anxious.

The development of the battle exceeded Yang Xuangan and his expectations. Neither of them expected that King Yang Tong of Yue would suddenly give up Nan Guo, which caught them off guard.

The central government evacuated, and the noble bureaucrats also evacuated. King Yang Tong of Yue had a stronger control over the Dongdu. The current situation was not so dangerous that he had to give up Nanguo. But unexpectedly, King Yang Tong of Yue decisively gave up Nanguo and the defense south of Luoshui, and gave up ordinary houses south of Luoshui to ensure the political center north of Luoshui, concentrate his efforts to build the northern city defense of the Dongdu with the imperial city, Beiguo, return to Luocang and Jinyong City, and form a north-south echo with the defense of the Shanxi line, thus firmly controlling the initiative of the entire northern line defense.

Give up Nan Guo will definitely bring political pressure to the King of Yue Yang Tong and the left-behind ministers of Dongdu, but they can win military initiative. The pros and cons of this are really difficult to weigh. In addition, there are many conflicts between major political forces within Dongdu, so in Yang Xuangan and Li Mi's view, unless Dongdu is in a desperate situation, it is impossible for the King of Yue Yang Tong and Dongdu to form a final decision on whether to give up Nan Guo. However, they made a wrong estimate of the development of the situation, which is no longer the first mistake. Before, there was Pei Hongce's death and later, Nan Guo's abandonment. These two major decisions in Dongdu directly changed the development of the situation.

If Dongwu had not killed Pei Hongce to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey" and did not use Pei Hongce's head to intimidate the noble bureaucrats, the aristocrats and bureaucrats in the city would not be silent, and they would not be frightened or even fled. Yang Xuangan's inner and outer plans would not be "dead without success", and the plan to join forces inside and outside without bloodshed and won the Dongdu capital would not become someone's delusion; if Dongwu had not given up on Nanguo,

By using Nan Guo to restrain the army of Han Xiangguo and Li Fengyun, the elite troops of the Right Guard General Li Hun could not be adjusted to the Lishui River in time. When they returned to Luocang and Jinyong City to undertake the entire northern city defense, they could not form a north-south attack with Li Gongting's troops on the western front of Shanshan. Yang Xuangan successfully completed the encirclement of the Dongdu, cut off the connection between the Dongdu and Hanoi, and could send troops to attack Wu and the front line, thereby threatening Guanzhong and forcing the Xijing army to enter the Dongdu battlefield faster.

It is too late to say this now. For Yang Xuangan, the most urgent task is to keep Li Fengyun in the Dongdu and persuade Li Fengyun to join forces with him to control the Dongdu battle. However, Li Fengyun has already captured Nanguo and is robbing Dongdu's wealth. His purpose of attacking Dongdu has been achieved, and there is no reason to continue to stay in the Dongdu battlefield.

Li Mi's mission of "mediation" was too difficult, especially after he entered Nanguo and saw that the alliance soldiers were orderly and orderly, and were unhurriedly looting Fengdu and Datong City, he knew that Li Fengyun had prepared for this day for a long time. At this time, even though Li Fengyun was willing to keep his promise, the alliance soldiers were no longer interested in fighting. I had already robbed Dongdu and had already made a fortune. When would I not leave at this moment? If I had to force an army without the desire to fight and had a low morale to fight, the result could be imagined.

Li Mi sighed bitterly. It was too clever for King Yang Tong of Yue to give up Nan Guo at this time. The actual effect achieved by this decision must have exceeded its original purpose. At least it gave Li Fengyun more initiative, but at the same time it seriously weakened Yang Xuangan's control over the battlefield in the Dongdu.

Now Yang Xuangan's "trump card" is almost gone. The reason why this incredible reversal suddenly occurs cannot be blamed for how clever Yang Tong, King of Yue, is, nor can he blame Yang Xuangan for being too confident. It can only be said that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Both sides of the game are top experts. Any small mistake may lead to disastrous consequences. Yang Xuangan made a mistake in the key link, making one step wrong, and ended up making himself passive.

Li Fengyun made two suggestions: First, open the Tongji Canal waterway, provide as many ships as possible, and send hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, as well as the plundering proceeds to Luokoucang, and prepare to enter Xingyang; second, the Han Prime Minister immediately led his army to support Han Shiye and Gu Jue, and seized the Hulao as quickly as possible, and then headed straight to Jindi Pass, and took the key pass evacuated from the capital at any cost.

Li Mi understood as soon as he heard this, Li Fengyun was about to escape, but now it is indeed his best opportunity to "escape" from the Dongdu battlefield, because Yang Xuangan's army is north of Luoshui and is fighting fiercely with the Dongdu garrison army. In order to regain the initiative on the battlefield, Yang Xuangan is powerless to stop Li Fengyun's evacuation. Once blocked, both in the Dongdu battlefield and in the direction of Hulao will cause Yang Xuangan to fall into greater passivity. However, if Li Fengyun is allowed to escape, Yang Xuangan will lose a great help in the Dongdu battlefield. In the upcoming life-and-death battle with the Xijing army, even if Yang Xuangan wins, he will pay a heavy price, and this will definitely affect Yang Xuangan's plan to enter Guanzhong.

However, after Li Fengyun has achieved all the purpose of entering the Eastern Capital, is it necessary for him to continue fighting? He and Yang Xuangan had no trust at all. In this case, what reason does he have to continue fighting side by side with Yang Xuangan?

"You want to betray your promise?" Li Mi asked coldly.

"You are wrong." Li Fengyun smiled and shook his hand, "To be correct, someone has fulfilled his promise to Yue Gong."

Li Mi was speechless. In fact, this was true. Li Fengyun entered the Tongji Canal for the second time, broke through the defense line of the capital alone, triggering and promoting the Dongdu crisis, successfully attracted the attention of the Dongdu and restrained some of the Dongdu garrison troops. This was helpful to both Yang Xuangan Li Yang's army and going south to Dongdu. This was Li Fengyun's promise to Yang Xuangan at the time. At that time, Yang Xuangan was dismissed and did not believe it at all, and did not take it seriously. Later, even when Yang Xuangan arrived at the city of Dongdu, he still did not take Li Fengyun seriously, and he did not mean to make some decision-making power. It was not until Li Fengyun took coercion that he had to compromise. So to be honest, Li Fengyun had fulfilled his promise to Yang Xuangan.

"If there is no Yue Gong, can you conquer Nan Guo?" Li Mi pointed to the ship loaded with spoils on the water, "Can you rob Dongdu?"

When the Korean Prime Minister was unhappy when he heard this, he responded coldly, "We went through hardships and rushed into Dongdu, is it just to die in Dongdu?"

Li Mi looked at him with contempt and ignored him.

Li Fengyun shook his hand at the Prime Minister Han, signaling him not to "stimulate" Li Mi. After all, whether he can leave Dongdu, break through the Huzhu, enter Xingyang, and even capture Jindi Pass requires close cooperation. If Yang Xuangan turns against him in anger, sets obstacles everywhere and even fights, the Song Yu Yi army will certainly be wiped out, and the alliance army will rest and fight safely.

"If Yue Gong agrees to someone's conditions, you can give Yue Gong another promise." Li Fengyun said seriously, "a Yue Gong needs a promise."

"You're serious?" Li Mi asked in surprise.

Li Fengyun stretched out a hand and said, "Five as a sworn."
