"Laihu'er has arrived, the overall situation has been decided, is the king rushing to the Eastern Capital?" Li Fengyun asked.

King Qi shook his head, "Duke Rong has arrived, the overall situation has been decided, if you go to the Eastern Capital, won't you kill yourself?" ”

Li Fengyun smiled, "If the king doesn't go to the Eastern Capital, he will have to garrison Liyang, and the garrison Liyang is to control the Grand Canal, you can coerce the Holy Lord above, and you can coerce the East), how do you let Yuwenshu and Laihu'er do their best to encircle and suppress Yang Xuangan?" Once at the critical moment, the king stabbed them mercilessly in the back and caught them off guard, wouldn't the great shape be reversed in an instant? ”

King Qi thought for a moment and turned his eyes to look at Wei Fusi. King Qi really thinks so, only by firmly controlling the Grand Canal and blocking the "throat" of the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital, can he coerce the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital to make compromises and concessions, otherwise what guarantee will he have to get rid of the siege of his political enemies on all sides and go north to the border?

Wei Fusi frowned and was silent, he had already guessed Li Fengyun's intentions, but it was difficult to judge the pros and cons in his eagerness, and he couldn't give King Qi a clear answer.

"Lone hasn't served his purpose yet." King Qi said.

"The king has achieved his goal." Li Fengyun admonished, "Although a certain king should show the momentum of not giving up if he does not achieve his goal in this matter, but if he is too late, his neck is too stuck, so that the opponent is out of breath, and even feels the threat of death, the result may not be to force the opponent to compromise, but to completely anger the opponent and fight to break the net, so the construction of a certain is to stop, accept it when it is good, and express its wishes." ”

King Qi shook his head, his expression was grim, and his attitude was firm, "Lone has not achieved his goal yet. The implication is that those people in the Eastern Capital are ruthless, as long as they show a trace of cowardice, they will be chased and beaten by the other party, and they will be rectified to death.

"The king's purpose is to defend the border." Li Fengyun said, "Defending the border is a survival plan, a desperate fight, and the last straw for drowning people to grasp." It is true that according to the northern frontier, whether it is hegemony or hegemony, a premise is needed, that is, the relationship between the north and the south must be normal, and the situation in the northern Xinjiang must be stable. Therefore, a certain person believes that when the king recovers Liyang, restores the smooth flow of the Grand Canal, and expresses his desire to survive in exchange for fighting the border to the Holy Lord and the center, he should decisively withdraw from Liyang and hand over the control of the Grand Canal, so as to express his courage and determination to sacrifice his life to die. In this life, I would rather die on the battlefield and sacrifice my life for the country than be imprisoned for a long time; In this life, I would rather die standing than live on my knees. This is the unyielding integrity, this is the dignity of being a human being, and this is the glory of the king. ”

"For the sake of this only remaining dignity, for the sake of this last glory, the king should not hesitate, go north to the border, go north to kill the captives, go north! North! ”

Li Fengyun waved his right hand, and his tone was sonorous and deafening.

King Qi was empowered, and Huo Ran woke up.

Wei Fusi's heart was turbulent, and he made a decision in an instant.

On the tenth day of July, Zhao County, Hebei Province, Fenglong Mountain at the eastern foot of Taihang.

Under the command of Liu Heimin and Liu Shishan brothers, the alliance selected the front army and took the lead in reaching the first target of the northbound battle, Fenglongshan.

This goal was not predetermined by the alliance, but was a request put forward by the Zhao Jun Li clan.

Previously, when Li Fengyun and the alliance's high-level officials specifically formulated the plan for going north to the war, considering that the shape was unpredictable, and there were all kinds of unpredictable variables in the process of transferring to the war, what was taken out was only a directional thing, and it was about to achieve a goal at what time and under what circumstances, and in the actual implementation process, the time for the alliance to cross the river to the north was greatly advanced, and the time for looting Liyangcang was also greatly shortened, and as a result, the alliance entered Zhao County early, and basically completed the plan to go north to fight without danger.

At this moment, Yang Xuangan's mutiny is still continuing, the King of Qi is still eyeing Liyang, Li Fengyun and the main force of the alliance are still missing, the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force have not heard from him, and even the North-South Grand Canal is still in a state of interruption.

But herein lies the problem. A few months ago, when Li Fengyun came up with a plan to go north, although the Boling Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan accepted Li Fengyun's prediction that the relationship between the north and the south would deteriorate in the future and that the north-south war would soon break out, and saw the huge crisis faced by the two giants, they also recognized the strategy of King Qi and Li Fengyun joining forces to go north to block the northern captives and use the opportunity of the Great War to seek development. began to cooperate with the King of Qi, on the contrary, they still have a wait-and-see attitude, they have not yet seen the benefits from the King of Qi, they do not see the rabbit and do not scatter the eagle, the two super giants will never put themselves in danger for the benefit of possible future survival.

At present, King Qi and Li Fengyun have formed common interests, the two sides work closely together, but there is no result, only both sides have arrived in northern Xinjiang, and the relationship between the north and the south has indeed deteriorated, the war between the north and the south has been clearly visible, their pair of "combinations" can indeed seek from this war to develop and grow and even divide the huge interests of hegemony, the two super giants will "spread the eagle in their hands", will actively support, so before the huge interests are not fully "presented", the two super giants Qi Wang and Li Fengyun's support is very limited, At most, it is acquiescence, connivance, turning a blind eye, and there is a premise, that is, their interests cannot be harmed. If King Qi and Li Fengyun want to damage the vital interests of the two super giants in the process of realizing their plan to go north, and let the two super giants "cut meat" to "raise" a "rabbit" who may grow into the king of the north or even the lord of Middle-earth in the future, it is absolutely impossible.

This conservative and cautious stance of the two super giants is understandable, investment is risky, if you want to minimize the risk, you must be careful and careful, and all the wealthy families who dare to take risks have long disappeared in the long river of history and turned into historical dust.

It's just that when a cautious super-rich meets a super-traitor who is sharp, unruly and has repeatedly created miracles, it is inevitable that he will be in a hurry and caught off guard.

Li Fengyun's alliance army came early, nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians, a huge force that is enough to endanger the vital interests of local stability and the two super giants, and what is even more strict is that Li Fengyun is not there, this force is on the verge of getting out of control, but in fact, even if Li Fengyun still firmly controls the alliance, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, because all factors related to survival and development such as food and territory, whether it is for the alliance, local wealthy families, local governments or regional civilians, They are all scarce and precious, especially in the past two consecutive years, the imperial court for the Eastern Crusade, in line with the principle of nearby levy, Hebei has scavenged Hebei's manpower, material and financial resources have been swept away, giving Hebei an unprecedented heavy blow, now the southern part of Hebei because of continuous disasters and no relief, the victims are desperate and desperate, and although the northern part of Hebei has not been affected, all the government soldiers, township soldiers, and young men have been requisitioned to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and they have not returned home for two or three years, and they do not know whether they are alive or dead, and the old and weak women and children left behind cannot bear the farming and forced labor at all. A large number of fields are barren and the yield of grains has plummeted, and now it is very difficult to even support oneself, let alone hand over the land endowment.

One can imagine what will happen to the northern region of Hebei in the midst of such a crisis-ridden situation when a rebel army composed of about 200,000 hungry and vicious rogues suddenly enters and survives by burning, killing, and plundering.

As a result, the two supergiants were caught off guard, and the development of the shape shì far exceeded their expectations.

According to their estimates, the Eastern Capital Mutiny would last for a long time, and although King Qi and Li Fengyun were able to use this mutiny to make good profits, they also paid a great price. Li Fengyun "seeks skin with the tiger", and will inevitably suffer heavy losses under the front and rear attacks of powerful opponents, and in the end, even if he crosses the river to the north, his strength will be greatly reduced, not only will he not threaten the two super giants, but will be controlled by the two super giants. The situation of the King of Qi is too difficult, even if he escapes the "siege" of the Holy Lord and exiles himself to the north to the border, it is difficult to do anything in the short term, so he can only wait patiently for the opportunity. All in all, the two super giants have never put the two forces of King Qi and Li Fengyun in their eyes, let alone regarded them as equal opponents, although the three parties in the "North Plan" are cooperative relations, but the two super giants naturally put themselves in the position of the controller, and put the King of Qi in the position of the "puppet" who can control the zhì at will, and Li Fengyun is an insignificant small role, obedient will give him a hawk dog position, and if he is disobedient, he will be directly wiped out.

However, Li Fengyun, whom they despised and ignored the most, gave them a great "surprise", when the "turbulent waves" of the eastern capital were still "roaring", nearly 200,000 alliance soldiers and civilians quietly entered Zhao County and completed the northward transfer, and its strength not only did not lose in the process of going north, but increased because of the looting of Liyang Cang. In this way, the two super giants not only could not control the alliance as they wished, but were threatened by the powerful alliance, fortunately, Li Fengyun was trapped in the eastern capital and his whereabouts were unknown, and the top level of the alliance was scattered, which gave the two super giants the best opportunity to divide the alliance and split and control the alliance.

The Li family of Zhao County has six major housing systems, and its Middle East Ancestral House, West Ancestral House and South Ancestral House are all in Zhao County, among these three major housing systems, the East Ancestral House is the most powerful and powerful, and the West Ancestral House and the South Ancestral House are in decline, among which there are even children in the South Ancestral House who have to get involved in **** in order to make a living, and be in the company of robbers.

The one who asked the alliance to temporarily settle in Fenglongshan was the suzerain of the ancestral house of the Li family in Zhao County.
