Chapter 325: Xu Shiyun's Principle
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Cui Yu came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Li Fengyun specifically deduced the Dongdu Mutiny to her, and the credibility is very high, although this is a prediction without factual basis after all, but at least it can warn the Cui family, so that the Cui family can be prepared in advance, so as not to be caught off guard
But Cui's ability is limited after all, especially the head of the family, Cui Hongsheng, is currently taking on too many heavy responsibilities in Hebei, if there is a mutiny in the eastern capital, he will definitely not be able to take care of it, it is inevitable to take care of one and the other, and make mistakes in the busy, so it is foreseeable that Cui Hongsheng will definitely find a way to temporarily expel the Hebei marshal, on the one hand, he must do his best to establish results in the rebellion, so as to reduce the heavy pressure exerted on him by the holy lord and the eastern capital, and on the other hand, to prevent the Hebei marshals from being pulled into the mutiny "thief ship" by some ill-intentioned people, and then affect the Hebei nobles, It affects the interests of the entire Hebei people.
Li Fengyun never made any requests to Cui's family, although he urgently needed the Hebei heroes to cross the river to the south and enter the battlefield of Qi County, and he also urgently needed famous figures such as Hongru Liu Xuan to help him cross the river to the north, and as long as Li Fengyun put forward these requirements, the Cui family would definitely be able to satisfy him, and he would do nothing, but Li Fengyun kept silent and never mentioned it, and even when Cui Yu took the initiative to ask him what help he needed, he didn't say that there was no other reason, these requirements were too little for Li Fengyun, As long as he waits patiently, with the exhibition of the form, there is no need for him to speak, Hebei Haoshuai will cross the river to the south, and Hongru Liu Xuan will also enter his sight, so making these requests now is purely a waste of valuable cooperation opportunities.
Li Fengyun's plan is very big, and when the mutiny broke out, the dominant position between him and the Cui family changed, he took the initiative, and the Cui family was passive, at that time, it was not that he needed Cui's help, but that Cui needed his cooperation. Li Fengyun was waiting for that moment, and he needed Cui's help to open the door of the Eastern Capital Waiguo. As long as Yang Xuangan occupies the Eastern Capital Waiguo, he will inevitably be able to reverse his disadvantage on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, although sticking to the Eastern Capital Waiguo cannot change the relationship between the victory and defeat of this mutiny, but at least it can ⊥ Yang Xuangan "heroes are useful", and can maximize their advantages in the case of a stalemate in the battle, throw all their strength into the Eastern Capital battlefield, and then prolong the time of this mutiny indefinitely.
The Holy Lord and Yang Xuangan fought fiercely in the Eastern Capital, and the battle was bloody, and it was inevitably difficult to take care of Li Fengyun who took the opportunity to enter Hebei, and Li Fengyun thus won the sufficient time needed to enter Hebei first, and then expand and grow. If Yang Xuangan had failed early, and all kinds of counterinsurgency armies had gathered in the eastern capital and taken advantage of the situation to pursue and kill Yang Xuangan's remnants, then even if Li Fengyun crossed the river to the north, he would have been surrounded and intercepted by the official army.
Xu Shiyun's "overconfidence" in Li Fengyun is incomprehensible, in his opinion, Li Fengyun should take this opportunity to "open his mouth" and ask Cui's for more help, instead of "asking for nothing", making Cui Yu's trip seem to be Cui's request for Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun did not answer positively, but asked Xu Shiyun a word, "If a certain goes north and goes to Hebei to exhibit, are you willing to leave Henan with a certain person?" ”
Xu Shiyan hesitated for a moment and said categorically, "Henan is where the foundation of the Xu family is, and Lihu is the home of the Xu family. Xu Shiyan bowed deeply and felt guilty, "Brother, my brother is incompetent, and I can't follow Brother to fight in Hebei." ”
Li Fengyun smiled, not angry, and continued to tempt, "If you go to Hebei to expand, the most important thing is not to cut off the hegemony, but to resist the northern captives." After the failure of the Eastern Expedition and the heavy losses of the Weifu Army, which had already endangered the northern Xinjiang garrison, how could the ambitious Northern Captives miss such an invasion opportunity? It can be asserted that within two or three years, the Civil War will inevitably break out. ”
Li Fengyun looked at Xu Shiyun with a heavy expression, and said with a smile, "It is my duty to protect the family and defend the country, and it is my duty. If there is no country, where is the home? The third brother has to think about it, such an opportunity to live for a hundred years, if you miss it, you won't have it. ”
Xu Shiyun had heard Li Fengyun's prediction of the Civil War in the past, but he was just a giant, a businessman who traveled north and south of the river, and he did not have a clear and thorough understanding of the general trend at home and abroad, and the causal relationship between the Eastern Crusade, internal strife, and external troubles
In Xu Shiyun's view, Li Fengyun's prediction of the Eastern Capital Mutiny was already alarmist, but considering that Li Fengyun had successfully predicted the defeat of the Eastern Expedition, and the Eastern Capital Mutiny directly endangered the rise and fall of the Xu family, Xu Shiyun would rather believe that he had it, not believe it, and he had to go back and take precautions.
Since the reunification of the Middle Earth, the national strength is thriving, is ushering in an unprecedented and prosperous era, in such a good background, but the wind and clouds, even bad luck, natural disasters continue, the Eastern Expedition defeated, the Eastern Capital mutiny, if coupled with the blow of the Civil War, the result can be imagined, no matter how good the shape will be gone, no matter how strong the national strength will be exhausted, the increasingly stable cause of reunification may fall apart.
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, since the reunification of our Middle Earth, the national fortune has been very good, it is impossible to completely bury the national fortune because of a great defeat in the Eastern Crusade, ushering in a dark period of bad luck.
Xu Shiyin resolutely rejected Li Fengyun's "temptation". Although Li Fengyun is his sworn brother and has the grace to save his life, whether he is righteous or repays his kindness, he must follow the principle of reasonableness, and he cannot lose his mind because of righteousness and repaying his kindness, and if he loses his principles, he will kill people and oversell goods, violate laws and disciplines, and bury his relatives and homes.
Li Fengyun patted Xu Shiyun on the shoulder and praised, "This is the real Xu Shiyun, only by adhering to his own principles and sticking to the bottom line of being a man and doing things can he achieve a great cause, and in the future, you will definitely be a famous hero." ”
Xu Shiyun was ashamed, no matter how he heard this, he was not praising himself, but full of ridicule, but looking at Li Fengyun's expression carefully, he was very sincere, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction at all.
"Brother, one day, if Brother needs something, even if he is broken, he will not give up."
Xu Shiyun patted his chest and swore an oath, but he was still sensible, he could sacrifice his life for Li Fengyun, but he couldn't compensate the entire Lihu Xu family for Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun didn't care at all, if Xu Shiyun was willing to follow him north, he wouldn't agree, after all, according to the historical trajectory, Xu Shiyun stayed in Henan, and the Wagang people stayed in Henan, and the effect of waving would be greater, just like Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi, give them strength, let them spread their wings and soar, they will inevitably break out of a vast world. Li Fengyun firmly believes that when he comes to this era, although he needs heroes, before the heroes grow up, he can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow, let alone "eliminate" the heroes in the bud.
"I believe in you." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "So the reason why I sue you for the answer, the reason why I refuse Cui's small favor now is to get a big gift from Cui's at some point in the future." ”
Xu Shiyun vaguely guessed, but when Li Fengyun said this, he knew everything, especially just now Xu Shiyun publicly refused to go north with Li Fengyun, and the interests of the two were completely inconsistent, so Xu Shiyun couldn't expect Li Fengyun to tell him much confidentiality.
Xu Shiyun left with "fruitful results", but the feelings were complicated. On the way back, Xu Shiyun obviously felt that because he and Li Fengyun married Jin Lan and became sworn brothers, not only did Li An expect him to be courteous, but even Cui Yu and Cui Jiu's attitudes towards him had changed a lot.
On February 15, Li Fengyun ordered all units to attack Licheng based on favorable terrain and large siege equipment.
At the same time, the Changbai Mountain Rebels of Meng Rang and Zuo's brothers joined up with the Beihai Rebels of Guo Fangpre and Qin Junhong, and gathered about 100,000 people, of which 30,000 brave men under the command of Meng Rang also launched an attack on Licheng, but they mainly launched a feint attack in the east and south directions of Licheng to contain a part of the defenders in the city
Li Fengyun took the lead, personally braved the arrows, led Fengyunwei to rush to the front line, and rushed to the city tower several times, brave, his scattered white and bloody long knives have become a symbol of invincibility in the hearts of the alliance soldiers, and at the same time have become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the officers and soldiers.
After several days of fierce fighting, Zhang Xutuo and Li Fengyun received news from the front line of Dahe almost at the same time. The rebellion of the official army in Hebei was extremely violent, the rebel army on both sides of the Yongji Canal was defeated one after another, Zhang Jin, the marshal of the Qinghe River, called Zhang Jinshu brothers, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande, the marshals of Gaojibo, all withdrew to the front line of the river, and the marshals Hao Xiaode and Liu Heimin of Pingyuan County, Liu Badao, Sun Xuanya, Shi Jibou and other marshals of Douzigang, as well as Wang Bo, the marshal of Qi County, gathered together and gathered about 100,000 horses, and Chen soldiers were on the north bank of the river, and there was the possibility of crossing the river to the south at any time.
Li Fengyun immediately convened all the heroes to discuss the military situation.
Wang Bo's messenger gave a detailed introduction to the situation on the front line of the Yongji Canal at the military meeting, because the Second Eastern Crusade was about to begin, and the grain and grass required for the Eastern Crusade were being transported from the south to the north through the Grand Canal, so the Hebei Arrest Ambassador Cui Hongsheng increased the intensity of the rebellion, and the righteous army of Hebei was difficult to defeat the sharp edge of the official army, so it was difficult for the righteous army to survive on both sides of the Yongji Canal, after all, the counties on both sides of the river were affected by disasters one after another, the fields were barren and there was no harvest, and the government increased the collection of taxes because of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, both the official warehouse and the private warehouse are now empty, so the Hebei heroes naturally set their sights on the south bank of the river.
Although the counties along the river on the south bank of the river were also affected, the first line of Hehe and Si, that is, the junction of Henan, Qilu and Xuzhou, was not affected, and now this place is in the hands of Li Fengyun's Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance. With Li Fengyun's strong strength, the Hebei heroes naturally did not dare to hit him with the idea, so there was only one place left, that is, the northeast region of Lu, that is, Qi County, Beihai, Gaomi and Donglai County, of which Qi County and Beihai were close at hand, and they could be reached by crossing the river.
However, now Li Fengyun's alliance army is attacking Licheng, the capital of Qi County, and the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army of Meng Rang and Zuo Brothers and Guo Fangpre and Qin Junhong's Beihai Righteous Army are also attacking Licheng, that is to say, at this moment, the Hebei Righteous Army is crossing the river to the south, and there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the slightest carelessness will cause misunderstanding. If the Qilu rebels resolutely oppose their crossing of the river and oppose them going south to "seize food", then the two sides will have to negotiate and negotiate.
