On June 12, late at night, Yuanwuben, who was appointed as the governor of Lizhou by Yang Xuangan, faced the crazy attacks of the Hebei rebel army, faced the undying death of the alliance army, and faced Li Zixiong's attacks, and thought that various guards were flocking to the capital, and Yang Xuangan had just entered the capital and had not yet reached the Dongdu city. The situation was very serious for the mutiny alliance. In this unfavorable situation, if he insisted on his own and continued to execute Yang Xuangan's orders, using the grain of Li Yangcang to block Li Zixiong and the alliance's "neck", the two sides would inevitably break up and fight. At this moment, the Dongdu had not yet been taken, and the climax of the storm was still coming, but Li Yang suddenly had internal conflicts and killed each other. The consequences could be imagined. As the culprit, he would not redeem his crimes for the sake of the overall situation. So he insisted on it for a day and wavered and decided to implement the technique of adaptation for the sake of the overall situation.

For him, as long as he could hold on to Li Yang, do his best to restrain more Guard troops, and help Yang Xuangan win more time to attack Dongdu, he completed his mission and faithfully implemented Yang Xuangan's orders. As for how to stick to Li Yang and whether to follow Yang Xuangan's plan to defend Li Yang, these are actually not important, important results, not processes.

On the eve of midnight, Yuanwu Benshe Bookstore took the initiative to invite Chen Rui to negotiate.

He knew that Chen Rui was outside Cangcheng, and he also knew that the alliance army was attacking Cangcheng. Although Chen Rui was attacking the banner of Zhang Jin, the Qinghe thief, and the Qinghe rebels did participate in the attack on Cangcheng, this was just a strategy of Chen Rui. In order to maintain the agreement between the three parties to defend Li Yang, he made a hint to Yuanwuben that the three parties could continue to work together. Of course, the prerequisite was that the alliance must control Li Yang Cang. In fact, this violated the previous three-party agreement. However, now Yang Xuangan has left, and Li Zixiong is the one who stays behind Li Yang. Li Zixiong has to rely on the force of the alliance to please the alliance, and also take off the lasso on his neck to get rid of Yuanwuben's stumbling block, and of course, he supports the alliance to take down Li Yang Cang.

Chen Rui had too many "trump cards" in his hand and was not afraid that Yuanwuben would be unfavorable to him, so he entered Cangcheng with a swagger.

When the two met, Yuan Wuben could not hide his anger. He scolded him sternly, accusing the alliance of betrayal, rebelling against his word and being despicable. This is true. Li Yangcang is just a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants it. Since Yang Xuangan has swallowed it, of course he will not spit it out. If he spit out, how can he control the situation in Li Yang?

Chen Rui was very patient. When Yuan Wuben finished venting, he said, "The King of Qi is here, Li Shanheng's army has arrived in Puyang."

Yuan Wu Ben's face suddenly changed and he was speechless. The King of Qi came too quickly, and the 20,000 elite troops under the King of Qi were all the Eastern Palace Imperial Guards of Prince Yuande. His combat power was very strong and Li Yang could not stop it at all. Once the King of Qi captured Li Yang, took down Li Yang's warehouse, and controlled the Grand Canal, although the Dongdu and the Holy Lord were indeed pinned by him, Yang Xuangan, who was fighting hard on the battlefield of the Dongdu, was deeply hurt and was very likely to be defeated.

The strategy of the King of Qi was completely beyond the expectations of the mutiny alliance. No wonder Li Zixiong volunteered to stay in Li Yang. It turned out to help the King of Qi capture Li Yang. No wonder Dong Chun rushed to Tongjiqu early. It turned out to deliberately deceive the opponent and let the opponent make wrong judgments, thus creating an opportunity for the King of Qi to capture Li Yang.

What should I do now? Yuan Wuben looked at Chen Rui with a grim expression, and immediately realized that King Qi's move made Dongdu and the Holy Lord passive, put Yang Xuangan in a dilemma, and even put the alliance in a desperate situation. Judging from the current situation of the alliance, facing King Qi's four sides, there was no power to fight back. Whether it was obedience or confrontation, it was a dead end. No wonder the alliance was like going crazy today and attacking Cangcheng at all costs. Based on this trend, Cangcheng could not be defended, and perhaps it would be lost tomorrow.

Yuan Wuben was glad that he made the right choice. Now Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun must work closely on the battlefield of Dongdu, and he and Chen Rui must work closely on the battlefield of Liyang. Everyone is in trouble and cannot plot against each other anymore, otherwise they will definitely die.

"What are your plans?" Yuanwu Ben asked, "If you snatch Li Yangcang and run away?"

"I can't even run away." Chen Rui said expressionlessly, "The King of Qi is here, Cui Hongsheng is also coming. Duan Da's army left by Zhuo County is on the way south. Once Li Yang is surrounded, the army in Henoi and even the army in Xingyang may be dispatched, and we have no way to escape."

Yuan Wuben immediately heard the implicit meaning from this sentence, "What benefits did Li Zixiong give you? What conditions did you agree to you? Do you also believe in his promise? He is the King of Qi, and he will sell us all to King of Qi just for the King of Qi."

"We must believe him." Chen Rui said, "He is now a rebel like us. If Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan) is defeated and our entire army is wiped out, can he escape from his birth?"

"Of course he has a way to escape." Yuan Wuben said angrily, "As long as the King of Qi enters the Dongdu and ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will be a meritorious official." At this point, Yuan Wuben suddenly realized that it is difficult for the King of Qi to enter the capital. Yang Tong, the King of Yue in the Dongdu and Yang Qing of Xingyang, would not let the King of Qi enter the capital. If the King of Qi arrives in Liyang, all the guards will gather together. Under the deliberate stop of a group of military generals, it will be even more difficult for the King of Qi to enter the capital. But how could the King of Qi miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him? Since he came with all his might and came at the fastest speed, of course he was determined to win and must enter the Dongdu. In this way, the King of Qi must have another purpose in attacking Li Yang. It is a plan to build a plank road openly and cross Chen Cang secretly. It is to capture Li Yang to restrain the various rescue guards, so as to give him more time to enter the capital to seize the imperial regime.

"What's the countermeasure of Li Zixiong?" Yuanwumoto calmed down and asked.

"We can hand over Li Yang and Cangcheng and give them to King Qi." Chen Rui said, "But the condition is that King Qi must visit Li Yang in person and must take charge of Li Yang Cang in person."

Yuanwumoto sneered, "This was originally their wishful thinking, but we cannot give up. This is not Li Yang and Cangcheng, but our lives."

"Of all we can think of, of course, the King of Qi will also think of it." Chen Rui said, "Justice Just as King of Qi doesn't believe in Li Zixiong, does King of Qi believe in Li Zixiong? Do you think King of Qi will come to Li Yang in person, or even take charge of Li Yang Cang in person?"

After a little thought, Yuanwuben probably guessed Li Zixiong's intention and gained some confidence in his analysis. Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong and King Qi must have had a secret agreement, which is obvious and unquestionable. However, judging from the development of the situation, King Qi violated the agreement for his own interests, which was obviously because of insufficient trust between each other.

The King of Qi may not be bluffing, or he may have intentionally had both fish and bear's paws to give himself the advantage of advancing and retreating, but now Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun are tied to Yang Xuangan's chariot, both of which are damaged and prospering. At this time, the King of Qi suddenly violated his promise and changed the established strategy, which is equivalent to stabbing Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun in the back. Of course, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun must fight back. Judging from Li Zixiong's countermeasures, Li Zixiong is willing to make a step back and allow the King of Qi to bluff, but that's all. Otherwise, once the two sides turn against each other and fight, it will be a battle between the snipe and the clam, and both lose. However, under the current situation, if Li Zixiong wants to achieve his goal, he must fight with the King of Qi and let the King of Qi test his bottom line. Only in this way can he force the King of Qi to compromise.

"Are you sure this is not Li Zixiong's conspiracy?" Yuan Wuben hesitated for a long time, but still asked unwillingly.

Chen Rui knew that Yuanwuben's mood was, on the surface, a change of initiative and a loss of control over the situation, but in fact, it seriously endangered the success or failure of the mutiny, which was the key. For Yuanwuben, the first priority was to stick to Li Yang, and the longer the better the longer the time he held, and the reason why he was unwilling to give up Li Yangcang and unwilling to believe Li Zixiong was also the reason.

Chen Rui must appease Yuanwuben, not only for the safety of Li Fengyun and the alliance's main force on the battlefield of Dongdu, but also for the maintenance of cooperation between the three parties on the battlefield of Liyang, only cooperation can win each other.

After a little thought, Chen Rui asked flatly, "When you look at the envoy, under the current situation, even if we give our all our strength, how long can we stay in Liyang? Ten days, twenty days, or more?"

This is also the issue that Yuanwuben has always considered, and it is also the fundamental reason why he resolutely compromised today. How long can the three parties work together to stand on Li Yang? Yuanwuben has no idea, but one thing is certain. As the situation in Dongdu gradually becomes clear, Li Yang has only a handful of time to stand on him. From Chen Rui's words, Yuanwuben heard something unusual. Li Zixiong and Chen Rui did not have much confidence in holding on to Li Yang. If you keep it for a few days, you will leave if you don't. That's the case, Li Zixiong and Chen Rui don't have much confidence in holding on to Li Yang.

Zixiong still needs to use conspiracies? No, he only needs Li Yangcang, just make sure he has a way out. At the same time, this is also the reason why Li Zixiong decided to compromise and concessions with the King of Qi. Since Li Yang and Li Yangcang will definitely not be able to defend Li Yang and Li Yangcang, the battlefield of Li Yang will sooner or later be the items in the Wei army. At the critical moment, giving Li Yang and Li Yangcang to the King of Qi will form a situation of fighting between the two tigers, giving Li Zixiong and the alliance army the opportunity to calmly evacuate from the battlefield of Li Yang.

"When will Li Zixiong stick to it?"

"The Hebei Army is limited in strength, and Cui Hongsheng cannot attack with all its might, so we are not afraid of Cui Hongsheng. However, after Chen Len of Zhuo County arrived, the situation was completely different. Facing the attack of the powerful Youzhou border army, we can hold on for a while, but the losses are very amazing. More importantly, the army of King Qi is eyeing him. If we do not evacuate in time, we will eventually be buried in Liyang."

Chen Rui's meaning was very clear. After the army of Zhuo County arrived in Liyang, Li Zixiong and the alliance army were about to evacuate. In other words, in the best case, Li Zixiong would stick to Li Yang until the end of this month, which was the limit.

Yuan Wuben suddenly realized that because he faithfully executed Yang Xuangan's orders, he used Li Yangcang to hold Li Zixiong and the Alliance, trying to force them to use it for his own purposes. As a result, he did not fulfill his promise to open the door of Li Yangcang to the Alliance, and wasted precious time in vain. The waste of time was a fatal blow to the Alliance. The Alliance failed to plunder the food needed as he wished, and finally forced the Alliance to use force to attack Li Yangcang. The Alliance was angry and could no longer find any reason to do his best to help Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong stick to Li Yang. Li Zixiong might want to defend for a few more days, but the Alliance army was not willing to pay the price. Since you have broken your trust in me, of course I will not keep my promise again.
