The Dongshu army in Yangling is having a hard time, and the people in Dongdu are also having a hard time.
At this time, the entire Western Capital was under the control of Ouyang Lingchuan and King Wei.
Every day, countless spies and those who resisted were taken to the execution ground and beheaded.
In just a few days, under such cruel and bloody suppression, the subordinates who had been loyal to Ouyang Zhongyi finally learned the lesson and no longer foolishly shot the gun, while those who had been lucky before The thoughtful people immediately stopped thinking and stood back.
But Ouyang Zhongyi had ruled the Eastern Capital for half a year, and his influence was already deep.
Even though Ouyang Lingchuan deliberately cut out his wings, he still could not damage his foundation in the Eastern Capital.
Although Ouyang Zhongyi is famous as a killer on the battlefield, he has also gained considerable experience in dealing with political affairs and political strategies over the years.
Therefore, most people do not like Ouyang Lingchuan, who controlled the Dongshu Palace through conspiracy.
He also knew in his heart that as long as Ouyang Zhongyi came back, he would not end up well.
Therefore, although the courtiers in Dongshu were respectful to him on the surface, no one was willing to serve him in private.
Ouyang Lingchuan naturally knew what everyone was thinking.
But he seemed to be pretending not to know, and still every day in the morning, the chamberlain would name a few people who made frequent secret moves, and then have them dragged to the execution ground for punishment.
That indifferent attitude did not care about the chaos in the Eastern Shu court, and then turned away in the frightened eyes of the courtiers.
It was as if he no longer cared about Dongshu.
And as soon as he left, King Wei also left with him.
Although King Wei is working together with Ouyang Lingchuan, they have always maintained the same tacit understanding on this matter.
In their opinion, the more chaotic Eastern Shu is, the better.
No one was in charge of major affairs in the court, and several courtiers who were favored by Ouyang Zhongyi and could take charge of affairs were either killed or dismissed from office.
Dongshu, which was already unstable, suddenly became a mess. .
General Quanshi was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
His son Mu Yi took charge of the military camp under the emperor's order.
However, due to his young age, inexperience, and lack of military success, he was immediately accepted by his old subordinates who had accompanied Quanshi through life and death.
Mu Yi was proud at heart, and he didn't want to be looked down upon by others, so when he received Ouyang Zhongyi's imperial edict, he immediately led the team to move forward.
At this time, they had already traveled two days.
It stands to reason that as long as they march for one day, they can reach the Eastern Capital before tomorrow evening.
Thinking that he could no longer bear the halo of his father and stand alone to eliminate the traitors for the king, Mu Yi felt a surge of pride in his heart and looked forward to the day that was about to come.
He even couldn't help but order an overnight march.
Because Mu Yi suddenly became acting general, the people who used to take care of Mu Yi suddenly changed their faces, so no one went to remind him.
The soldiers who had been running around for days dragged themselves back to the camp place tired and tired.
They all thought they could have a good sleep.
However, as soon as they got into bed, they were blinded by the news that Mu Yi would march overnight. , they have always had to have a good rest the night before when fighting, but now they have to go to the battlefield with exhaustion?
Thinking of this, everyone started to make a fuss uneasily again.
But when they thought of the all-time general who was seriously injured and unconscious, they fell silent again.
Mu Yi didn't notice the changed looks in everyone's eyes, he was just excitedly immersed in his own thoughts.
After marching all night, Mu Yi finally led an army of 300,000 people and arrived at Fuchi Mansion, which was only fifty miles away from Dongdu, early in the morning.
Mu Yi first ordered his men to rest for a while, and then he marched non-stop towards Dongdu.
But before he had walked ten miles, suddenly when he passed a mountain col, arrows rained down from the sky, and at the same time, rocks from the mountains on both sides also rolled down one after another.
Come.
Before the Dongshu army had time to react, they were caught off guard by the sudden ambush in the valley.
Everyone knows that when Ouyang Lingchuan's forces failed to seize the throne, they were all killed by Ouyang Zhongyi.
Now he can control the capital of Eastern Shu entirely because of the 50,000 soldiers in the hands of Prince Wei's Mansion.
That’s all.
Looking at the dark mountain top, the lush trees blocked all sight, making it impossible to tell how many enemy troops there were.
On the other hand, the people in front of me who were stunned by the rocks were wailing.
Mu Yi was dumbfounded, then came to his senses and immediately ordered to withdraw from the col.

Since they were attacked shortly after entering the mountain col, there were only tens of thousands of people entering the mountain col at most.
The people who entered the col were decimated, while the army that had not yet entered could only hear howls, so when Mu Yi ordered a retreat, they turned around and walked outside without any hesitation.
Although Mu Yi gave the order quickly, it took a while for the 300,000-strong army to retreat.
Therefore, none of the soldiers who had entered the col had escaped without resistance.
Mu Yi was shocked and regretted that he should not have been careless and rashly entered such a place where the enemy could easily set up an ambush.
As soon as they left the army, they lost 10,000 to 20,000 men before a head-on confrontation with the enemy, which made Mu Yi feel a little impatient.
The deputy generals looked at Mu Yi with increasing dissatisfaction.
Mu Yi knew clearly, but could not say anything.
He ordered the entire army to repair, and then ordered spies to investigate the enemy's situation in the mountain col.
After suffering a loss, you must learn to be smarter.
But after sending several spies one after another, no one came back after waiting for a long time.
It must have been something unexpected, and the eyes of everyone present were solemn.
Mu Yi didn't dare to move forward, but he couldn't wait.
This time, he decided to ask other people's opinions.
After all, his experience was indeed not as good as theirs.
But when Mu Yi asked, everyone held different opinions.
One side believed that the enemy was playing tricks on them, so they started attacking as soon as the army entered the mountain col, for fear that their numbers would be exposed.
The other side believed that the enemy just wanted everyone to think that their numbers were small, so that everyone would think that their numbers were small.
People let down their guard and end up getting a head-on blow when they don't expect it.
Everyone held their own opinions, and who said who was right?
Mu Yi had a headache.
With a final wave of his hand, he decided to set up camp today and make a decision tomorrow.
At night, Mu Yi and the lieutenants did not sleep.
They all believed that after today's battle, they would definitely attack while the army was exhausted, so they decided to wait and see.
But they waited all night, but there was no movement.
After not sleeping all night, everyone was very tired.
Later, the spies sent out to inquire about the situation came back and reported that the mountain col was empty at this time.
Hearing this, everyone present was very upset.
They had worked hard all night and were being fooled.
They didn't even touch the enemy soldiers.
The group of people set out on the road again angrily.
With the previous lessons learned, they appeared to be more cautious along the way, stopping and walking.
The journey that originally only took half a day was delayed to two days.
When they arrived at the outskirts of Dongdu, everyone was very tired and had to be careful along the way, but the person who attacked them before seemed to disappear out of thin air
