On that day, the rising sun rose from the east, and the north and south of the Yangtze River were spectacular.

Fireworks were first ignited on the small town of Jianghu, Liangshan, Liyang.

After a while, the beacon towers of Gushu on Bowang Mountain on the other side also ignited the fireworks in response.

These two mountains, one north and one south, opposite each other across the river, look like a gate, and are the famous "Tianmen Mountain" on the Yangtze River.

After the fireworks answered accordingly, Wu Yi soldiers gathered at Hengjiangpu, Liyang, and arranged the formations of soldiers and horses. Guo Zaizhen, whose neck was slightly crooked, stood on the earth platform under the Pixiu after the military salute, and told the entire army the real direction of attack:

"Li Qi, the governor of Zhenhai Army, was abusing the way, and the bandits in the country were stormed and the creatures were tragic. Duke Wei repeatedly admonished him, but Li Qi did not repent and refused to repent. Now the quarrying army on the other side was clear about the situation of rebellion. I would like to welcome us and represent Duke Wei to fight against Li Qi. Everyone can go forward. After crossing the river, they will attack Shitou City and Jingkou, and will also make peace for the fifteen states of Xuanrunyue."

Then Guo Zaizhen raised a sword and shouted, "This is the Yunfu sword given by Duke Wei, which can kill the ferocious and stubborn heads and rescue the civil servants!"

"Kill the stubborn heads!" All the soldiers of the Wuyi Army were ready to go angrily and were willing to gather under the battle banner of the Duke of the State of Defense to defend the kingly way.

Then, in the rising beacon smoke on both sides of Tianmen Mountain, Liyang and quarry boats were coming and going: many local merchants in Xuanzhou had long been resentful of Li Qi's tyranny, so they took the initiative to row boats and carry Wu Yi's soldiers, ammunition, war horses and artillery. Thousands of sails competed on the entire river, and hundreds of boats competed for the current.

At the top of Bowang Mountain, Wang Qiqiu also stood on it. His 3,500 quarry troops were all willing to obey Duke Wei, and he himself called himself "the envoy of Zhenhai West Camp" and was willing to be the pioneer of the attack on Li Qi.

When Wu Yi's army crossed the river, it merged with the Caishi Army, crossed the northeastern border of Dangtu, and began to advance rapidly towards Shitou City.

Liu Zan, the governor of Xuanzhou, Pan Fengshi, and Liu Mian, the governor of Wuzhou, all expressed their "protecting the country and safe people". Not only did they not resist the Wuyi army, they also secretly mobilized the people to provide rice and tea to the Wuyi army and the quarry army in groups. When the people heard that the Duke of Wei from Huainan came to arrest Li Qi, they were also excited and enthusiastically offered the army;

The tea owls and salt bandits in Xuanshe, and thousands of armed forces were willing to take the lead in Gao Yue's Wuyi army and serve as auxiliary wings. There are many mountain streams in the south of the Yangtze River. All of these people stood on the "raft rafts". These rafts are known as "green dragons" and "light cavalry". They drove like flying, taking the tea owls and salt bandits from various waterways to Danyang Lake. Then they occupied the lake surface and transported grain, tea and herbs to the Wuyi army. At the same time, they formed a volunteer team and searched for the Shitou City.

When Li Qi from Shitou City heard about this drastic change, he was shocked and rushed east to report to Jingkou.

Li Qi was also shocked and sat on the bed, not saying a word for a quarter of an hour.

The group of staff under him who usually flattered and flattered were so scared that they ran around the palace and screamed in shock. Some wanted to defend the Dantu Jingkou, some wanted to go to the Stone City, and some wanted to report to the imperial emperor first, waiting for a judgment.

At the critical moment, the veteran Bai Liangqi opened his door and said to Li Qi angrily that the court has now dismissed Gao Yue, while Wang Qiqi led Wu Yi's army to disrupt the territory of Xuanrun, and the troops have threatened Shitou City, but why are you so silent?

"When Duke Jin was in Huainan and Xu Si's slut, how could he dare to despise our Zhenhai Army so much!"

This sentence really stimulated Li Qi. He suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Gao Yue is still fighting with trapped beasts... Our navy is willing to be the first in the world to attack Gao Yue!"

"Gao Yue relied on his great achievements in expelling Xifan and pacifying Huaixi, and possessing the evil intentions of Wang Dun and Huan Wen. He sent someone to attack me Xuanshe in order to cut off my right wing and separate the contact between the court and the navy in my town. Please do not fear the difficulties, and leave the army from Jingkou and go to Shitou City to personally conquer the battle." Bai Liangqi asked.

Then Bai Liangqi said again: "I, Danyang Army, guard the flanks, please feel at ease!"

As soon as he heard "Danyang Army guarded the flanks", Li Qi felt a faint cold air rising from the front and back, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

At this moment, several confidant aides came to Li Qi's side and reminded him of this.

In fact, as Wang Qiqi rebelled, Li Qi has now begun to suspect Bai Liangqi.

If he took the Ya army to Stone City, Bai Liangqi's Danyang army would stay and rebel and welcome other Wuyi troops from Yangzhou on the other side, what would it be?

But if I lead the Ya army to stay and send Bai Liangqi Danyang army to Shitou City, can I defeat Gao Yue's troops and horses for a while? What if Bai Liangqi also rebels and leads his troops to Gao Yue's side?

At this moment, the other two experienced generals of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Cen and Qiu Chi, came forward and spoke, "Gao Yue is completely desperate now, and there is no need to rush to defeat the thief army that invaded Stone City. It is better to go out and shine on the east of Shangyuan Stone City, deep ditches and high acres. As long as the court issued a disposal to Gao Yue, the thief army will collapse without fighting. We will pursue it again and win a complete victory."

In this way, Li Qi made up his mind to let Bai Liangqi's Danyang Army be the first formation, and he commanded the tough soldiers and the foreign soldiers to live in the middle formation. Gongsun Jie led 4,000 soldiers from the Hague army to the rear and rushed to Shitou City. As for Jingkou, he was handed over to his fourth courtyard to guard the children.

After the generals retreated, some staff advised Li Qi that although Xuan She's governor did not say anything clearly, it was actually the same as Wang Qiqi, which was equivalent to surrendering to Gao Yuefang. Then the movements of major counties such as Jingkou in Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou were also very suspicious and unstable. If these governors suddenly stabbed us back, they would not only lose their wealth and wealth, but also be attacked from both sides. Runshuai, you must not ignore it. You can send the generals to light troops and quickly pounce on Changzhou and Suzhou, and kill the governors there to suppress the hearts of the people in eastern Zhejiang with shock.

"I am also worried about this matter, but I am the governor of the country. Where can I get the reason to arbitrarily suspicion of the governors appointed by the court? Not to mention killing them at will."

Li Qi rejected the advice of his staff. He believed that as long as he could repel Gao Yue's army and horses in Stone City, the whole situation would be stable.

Soon, beacons were flying around Jingxian Mountain, and Li Qi's army began to advance westward.

The two great Jianghuai towns around Jinling Stone City, Huainan and Xuanrun, finally continued from political struggle to force conflict.

On the surface, in the court struggle, Pei Yanling and Li Qiyun, who were in Li Qi, used their special relationship with the emperor, completely defeated Du Huangshang and Lu Zhi, who were in Gao Yue.

However, when Gao Yue decided to attack the enemy, the game of the card seemed to be pushed back and forth.

The military victory and defeat instantly began to decide the rise and fall of the court in reverse.

The Wuyi army's solitary departure first shocked the two vassal states of Xuanwu and Wuning in Huai Bian. Dong Jin and Zhang Jianfeng were immediately confused. Then Yu Di, the governor of the Zhongyi Army in Dongdao, and Yan Zhen, the governor of the Wuchang Army in Eyue, were also shocked and inexplicably.

Then the Zhongwu Army and the Dongdu went westward, and the news came one after another, and instantly arrived at the Daming Palace in Chang'an.
