Why was Tiange Pass breached?

It is because of this action to redeem the captives! This is the only time when they can take advantage of it.

However, in order to prevent Beirong from taking the opportunity to attack, before going north, the Ministry of War had formulated a complete plan, and there was no possibility of errors, unless there were betrayers...

Yuan Luo squeezed the military newspaper abruptly.

It's Cai Yunheng!

Even if she didn't believe it in every possible way, Yuan Luo had to come to this conclusion.

Cai Yunheng is a betrayer! Only he who took the overall situation had the opportunity to do this-taking advantage of the opportunity to redeem the prisoners of Beirong, put the gang of hungry wolves into the barrier.

The night wind was cold, and Yuan Luo thought of the young man who was smiling like a sun elf in front of him, and only felt cold all over.

In the next few days, more detailed military information came.

The fiasco of Miao Zifang and Zuo Bingfan was really the result of being flanked by soldiers of the East China Sea and Bei Rong Jingqi. The two sides have precise timing and should have been in contact long ago.

When Han Changwen was preparing for the incident, he should have contacted Bei Rong for assistance.

Even before Peng Yueming's actions in the capital, the so-called following Wang's caravan to sell goods to Beirong, he was summoned by the Great King of the South Yard, I am afraid it was not that simple.

Think about it, how can there be such a coincidence! The Great King of the South Court wanted to find a contact person, and unbiasedly found him, a three-faced spy.

The letterhead is true, and so is the promise of the King of the South Campus. It's just that it wasn't for the Wang's caravan, but a conspiracy between Zhong Yu, the adviser of the East China Sea King, and the Great King of the Nanyuan.

There is only one key point of the whole plan, which is to initiate the resurrection of the spies who were originally dead and break the gate for them in Beirong.

Cai Changling is dead, but he still has a son, and he is in charge of the army in Tianyu.

Just force this son to follow the same path,

Therefore, Peng Yueming proposed the deal, willing to use the spy's name in exchange for Gu Yi's concession. Hehe, they didn't expect anything from the transaction at all. Gu Yi is now just the deputy commander of Tian Wuwei, with 50,000 to 60,000 Gu Jiajun under his command, what benefits can they bring to them?

This so-called transaction is just a warning, to Cai Yunheng's warning, if he doesn't stand obediently, then the secret of his rebellious son will not be kept.

After Cai Yunheng decided to go north, he should have contacted Bei Rong's people in the middle, or what contract was reached between the two parties on the way to pursue Peng Yueming.

In this way, the informant who was originally set to contact Gu Yi was useless, so when Gu Yi looked for it on the letterhead, he found that the person went to the building to be empty.

***

In the next few days, the government fell into a paralyzed panic.

In the military information sent in the follow-up, the only thing to be thankful for was that Miao Zifang's fiasco outside Yan'an City was not as tragic as expected.

After discovering that the overall situation was irreversible, he teamed up with Zuo Bingfan in time. With the tacit understanding and precise command of the two, coupled with the fact that the North Army soldiers were not familiar with the terrain, they finally successfully led most of the soldiers and horses. Got out.

After 100,000 troops went on the expedition, after counting the number, there are more than 60,000 soldiers and horses.

But this is of no use to the overall situation, because these sixty thousand soldiers retreated to the eastern city of Mocheng, and were stuck in the city by the elite soldiers of the East China Sea, making it difficult to get out.

On the battlefield of the Central Plains, the situation is even worse.

Bei Rong came out this time, with at least 200,000 troops that have been proven, and the follow-ups are still coming. This is all the power of the country, sweeping the posture of the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Early on, all government affairs were put on hold, and everyone was nervously discussing the war.

This is a situation even worse than the last Gu Liangyong's defeat. The last time Bei Rong entered through the pass, the battle line was too long and it was difficult to supply it. Many soldiers and horses in the North Xinjiang blocked the torrent.

And this time, there was still collusion with them in the East China Sea. The rebels in the East China Sea have enough food to support hundreds of thousands of troops to continue fighting.

The final result of the court's discussion, except for the immediate deployment of reinforcements and resistance. There is one more important thing.

Move the capital!

In just a few days, the territory of the East China Sea has been restored by the rebels. The two invaders converged, forming an almost irresistible torrent of steel, heading straight towards the capital.

Moved the capital to Wuling in the west. Almost all courtiers suggested this.

This city is prosperous, not first-class, but it wins in its steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wuling also has the old capital of Tianyu. A hundred years ago, the Sikong clan used this as the core to segregate the western region and grow stronger, and then gradually wiped out the local warlords and calmed the world. In the first dozen or so years of the founding of the Sikong clan, it was still the capital city, and it was not until the second generation of emperors that it moved to the capital today.

Yuan Luo is also very familiar with this name, because according to the original book, the King of East China Sea rebelled, captured the capital and became emperor. Sikonglin took the original owner and fled to Wu Ling, thus obtaining a chance to breathe. After recuperating, they counterattacked the capital.

From this point of view, Wu Ling is indeed a good place to escape Bingxiu.

***

After leaving the dynasty, Yuan Luo went up the city wall, stood on the highest observation tower, and looked at the quiet plain of the north.

Looking out at a glance, there are fields covered in snow, and scattered villages, with the quietness and serenity characteristic of winter. According to the military information sent, Bei Rong's striker had already moved south from Yan'an, for as long as ten days and as few as seven days. This quiet and peaceful scene will no longer exist, and will be replaced by killings and wars everywhere.

Behind him came the sound of footsteps, which belonged to Gu Yi. His steps were dull. He walked behind Yuan Luo, bowed and saluted, and began to report.

"The minister searched his home and found no useful evidence..." His tone was hoarse, and he could hardly close his eyes for a few days.

Cai Yunheng's betrayal was personally and emotionally hit hardest by him. Yuan Luo couldn't forget the fear and despair on Gu Yi's face when he heard the news.

But Yuan Luo didn't have time to feel sorry for her, and she immediately surrendered Gu Yi's task of searching Cai Yunheng's residence.

As the most familiar person, he should be able to find clues.

Gu Yi has actually been to that mansion many times, but never thought that he would walk in with this mood.

Cai Yunheng's mother also disappeared, so he had to accept Yuan Luo's speculation.

No useful clues were left, only the spiritual seat of Cai Yunheng's father and sister was placed in the small Buddhist hall in the side hall.

Cai Yunheng's sister... Listening to Gu Yi's report, Yuan Luo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

On the night of praying to the Temple of Heaven, Huangjue Temple, Cai Yunheng once talked about his sister’s experience, being bullied, humiliated and killed by the gangsters of the family family. Yin helped them clear their grievances and brought the murderer to justice. And this Shao Yin was once the number one scholar in Xianning for six years.

Shen Han knows...Lian Yanqiu!

Yuan Luo suddenly felt a biting chill.

She realized that if it was just Cai Yunheng, Peng Yueming and the others could come to threaten them directly, why use such a tortuous way?

auzw.com Because it is not just Cai Yunheng who is really involved in the spy. There is another person far away in the deep palace that they can't touch. Lian Yanqiu! The person who really colluded with Bei Rong was Lian Yanqiu, and the Cai family's father and son were just his chess pieces.

Lian Yanqiu now... he has taken on the work of the Water Transport Department of the Ministry of Industry and went to Suzhou to check the renovation of the river embankment.

He should have expected this scene before he left.

She clasped her nails firmly on the wall, turned her head and sternly shouted at Gu Yi: "Leave immediately, go to Suzhou Fucheng, and bring Lian Yanqiu back to the palace!"

Although hope is not great, but still have to try.

Gu Yi was stunned. Seeing the imperial concubine gritted his teeth, he instinctively obeyed the order: "The minister's order!"

Immediately got up and quickly walked down the tower.

After a while, he watched from a condescending position as Gu Yi led a team of cavalry rushing out of the city, disappearing like a sharp arrow at the end of the horizon. Yuan Luo forced herself to calm down.

Cheng Wei, who was standing next to him, looked confused: "Niang?" He was puzzled by Yuan Luo's command just now.

Yuan Luo glanced at him. If Lian Yanqiu was the driving force behind all this, then she really didn't know who to believe. Jin Linsi is almost her most useful department.

Including Cheng Wei! However, this guy has the almost pedantic spine of a scholar, and he shouldn't collude with the barbarians like Bei Rong.

***

Fast horse galloping day and night, along the Huanghe River, Gu Yi quickly arrived in Suzhou.

According to the previous information, Lian Yanqiu inspected the river project here.

In front of us is the steep mountain range, and the huge water rushes down from the mountain, making a deafening noise. On the side of the river below, thousands of laborers walked back and forth like ants, carrying stones and wood, and rebuilding the river embankment.

Gu Yi led the people on horseback and rushed straight to the vast river bank.

Sure enough, I saw the target from a distance.

Lian Yanqiu was standing on the highest point of the river bank, overlooking the huge project. A Tsing Yi volleyed up and down, just like a banished immortal.

Perceive the cavalry rushing here. He turned and lifted the hat, and threw it aside.

The imperial concubine's reaction was faster than expected. But there is no use anymore.

He smiled at the other team of soldiers who had just arrived behind him: "It's time to go."

***

Gu Yi rushed on his horse and rushed to the dam. He saw Lian Yanqiu getting on his horse, and under the support of another cavalry team, he quickly rushed onto the suspension bridge over the river.

He hurriedly chased his horse, but he was still a step late.

In a blink of an eye, the team of soldiers and horses crossed the suspension bridge.

Gu Yi could only stop and stand on the side of the suspension bridge. Unexpectedly, the cavalry who crossed the bridge did not rush to cut the bridge.

The leader of the cavalry stopped the horse, but stopped halfway through the bridge.

He turned around and took off his helmet.

Gu Yi's eyes tightened instantly, and he could hardly believe what he saw before him.

Even though the imperial concubine had repeatedly emphasized this matter, he had always had a chance of one in ten thousand before seeing it in person.

But now, in front of the cruel reality, he had to give in.

The person who used to be the most familiar is now standing opposite him, standing on the bridge, separated by a rushing river.

"It's really you!" Gu Yi spit out these words with difficulty.

The roar of turbulent water around him made the sound messy and inaudible, but Cai Yunheng still heard clearly.

"It's me." He looked at him with a familiar smile.

"Why do you want to do this?" Gu Yi's voice was changed and distorted.

"It's not easy to get off the thief ship." Cai Yunheng shrugged.

He also once thought that he could bury that period of time and live a peaceful and peaceful life from then on. Unfortunately, too many people refuse to let him go.

"You can tell." Gu Yi gritted his teeth. He is not a person who rushes to kill, nor is the noble concubine. Even if they knew it was Cai Changling's betrayal, if Cai Yunheng stood firm, they would not anger him.

"What then? After being a rebellion, I lost all the way before and fell into the world. Or I have to stay anonymous and work hard from the beginning." Cai Yunheng sighed, "This kind of life is not suitable for me, I prefer another way."

"Just continue to be rebellious, lead wolves into the room, and do things that are inferior to beasts!" Gu Yi suddenly became angry, and his hoarse voice overwhelmed the roar of the current.

Cai Yunheng didn't have any excitement. He just looked at him and smiled flatly: "Rather than caring about this, it is better to ask about the fate of your good brother."

Gu Yi's rage came to an abrupt end, as if he was severed by a sharp blade. He was stiff, closed his eyes, and opened it again.

The gaze looking at Cai Yunheng has recovered his calmness: "I don't know the fate of the second brother, I only know that you will end up worse than him in the future."

His voice was cold, and it was more heart palpitating than the furious scolding before.

"This is your style." Cai Yunheng raised his eyebrows slightly, made a threatening gesture at him, laughed, turned and rode away.

He jumped off the suspension bridge, and the subordinates waiting on both sides immediately cut the rope with a long knife. Under the strong wind, the suspension bridge was crumbling.

Gu Yi held the reins tightly until the blood spilled from the palm of his palm, without any notice.

The subordinate leaned forward and asked, "General, are you going to cross the river by boat?"

He shook his head, Cai Yunheng and the others were obviously prepared, they couldn't catch up.

"Return to the capital." Gu Yi spit out these words through gritted teeth.

***

On the other side of the river, Cai Yunheng galloped quickly and quickly caught up with the large army.

"Don't you think your behavior is naive?" Lian Yanqiu asked.

Cai Yunheng glanced at him: "Don't you think you are worrying about so much mother-in-law?" After speaking, he sighed heavily, "Oh, forget it, you are not a man anyway."

A few of Lian Yanqiu's confidants around him glared at such words.

Lian Yanqiu laughed aloud, and went all the way with this poisonous kid. Fortunately, it was himself, who had changed someone else, and he could be mad at him.
