October 27, afternoon, Anzhou ghost party. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the vast snowfield, the Turkic army is like a big snake that stretches for more than ten miles, rushing westward, and in front of and behind the big snake, a group of Chinese and Turkish horse armies are like hungry wolves, running and roaring in the wind and snow, opening their fangs and sharp teeth, pounced on the big snake again and again, pulling and biting, and doing their best to kill and injure the prey.

Although the Turks are in a passive situation and their morale is not high, they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have rich combat experience, and the more dangerous the moment, the more they hold together and defend strictly, so the military spirit is not dispersed, and the various departments support each other, echoing back and forth, retreating in an orderly manner, defending in an orderly manner, clenching their fists from time to time to launch a fierce counterattack, giving the vicious wolves who pounced on all sides a blow to the head.

As time passed, the soldiers on both sides gradually sank into the forest sea, and they became farther and farther away from the ghost side.

In Donghu Shu, Li Fengyun commanded all infantry regiments of the alliance to clean up the battlefield, collect the spoils of war, and wait for the good news of chasing and killing the army, and at the same time report the victory to the Fangcheng Grand Governor's Mansion and Li Zixiong of Panlong Fort.

At this time, a joint letter from Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao was sent to the Headquarters, informing in detail the contents of the negotiations with Gubeikou on October 24, and that the Great Wall supported Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui, and cooperated in the direction of Liaodong, hoping that Anzhou could achieve the expected results, but the Great Wall hoped that Anzhou would ensure that this result would not be lost, so the Great Wall put forward a request to withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou before the end of the year, so as to improve the overall strength of Anzhou in the shortest possible time.

As for why the Great Wall made up its mind to solve the hidden danger of the Flying Fox rebels, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao also made an explanation, the main reason should be that Liu Yuanjin, a thief in the south of the Yangtze River, was proclaimed emperor according to Wu County, which caused an extremely bad impact, and sounded the alarm bell for the Holy Lord and the center, worried that the great cause of the reunification of China and Earth would collapse, and worried that China would fall into division and war, and the northern Xinjiang was the front line of the Great War between the North and the South, and the Great Wall was the barrier of the unification of China and Earth, and there was no room for failure.

Seeing the name of Liu Yuanjin, a thief in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Fengyun couldn't help but think of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi, I don't know if these brothers are now in the Jianghuai area, after all, their active location is near Jiangdu, and Jiangdu is the first important town in Jiangzuo, and there is the fact of accompanying the capital, and the heavy garrison is indeed not conducive to the early development of the team.

This thought swept by, and then Li Fengyun had an ominous premonition, and had a premonition that he had planned before, using the three forces of King Qi, the Flying Fox Rebels and Anzhou, to form an echoing trend between the Great Wall and the Northeast, so that after the Great War, the plan to quickly control Youyan to dominate the northern Xinjiang may suffer a heavy setback, and the reason is that his judgment of the domestic situation is too optimistic, ignoring the rebel leaders from all walks of life to cut off the emperor, and quickly opened the prelude to division and war, seriously shaking the foundation of the country, and violently impacting the great cause of reunificationIn the face of this crisis, the Holy Lord and the Center will inevitably do everything they can to save it, and this is the reason why the Holy Lord and the Center are unusual, and strongly and firmly demand that the Flying Fox rebels get out.

Compared with the great cause of national glory and reunification, the Holy Lord and the central center would rather lose the Great War of the North and South than watch the national honor collapse and the great cause of reunification fall apart.

This is a dead end, if Anzhou refuses to let the Flying Fox rebels out of the customs, it will cause a series of chain reactions, such as the Great Wall will cut off support, and with the help of the Turks and Donghu forces, trap Anzhou, and at the same time encircle and suppress the Flying Fox rebels, and the patrol of the King of Qi will also end, and all these "reactions" are not good for Anzhou, Li Fengyun's "wishful thinking" is completely frustrated, and the future plan will also fail.

The lesser of two evils, today's strength in Anzhou is weak, and it can't jump out of this dead end at all, let alone the opponent of the Holy Lord and the center, the only way to break the situation is to accept this condition, continue to win the support of the Great Wall, grow rapidly, and still have the possibility of controlling Youyan to dominate the northern frontier in the future, otherwise the prospect will be very pessimistic.

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time, and replied to Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, delay, don't refuse, but bargain, make sure that there is hope in the Great Wall, and always give support to Anzhou.

Of course, since the Holy Lord and the Central Center have given the time limit for the Flying Fox Legion to leave the customs, there is no room for maneuver in this matter for Anzhou, so he can only find another way, and can only find a way from the Flying Fox Legion itself and the King of Qi, such as the Flying Fox Legion to reach a consensus within the Flying Fox Legion and refuse to go out, such as the King of Qi and the Flying Fox Legion to attack inside and outside, forcefully seize control of Yanbei, and intensify the contradiction with the Holy Lord, the Center and the Zhuojun Legion, so that the Flying Fox Legion can also be left in the Great Wall.

Therefore, Li Fengyun hurriedly wrote to Xiao Yi of the Great Governor's Mansion, and told Li Sixing about this countermeasure, and asked Li Sixing to enter the customs immediately, and get in touch with the King of Qi and the Flying Fox Legion as soon as possible, and tried his best to persuade the King of Qi and the heroes of the Flying Fox to implement this countermeasure, after all, the situation outside the Cypriot is sinister, and the future of the Flying Fox Legion is also uncertain, and even nine deaths, and the loss of the Flying Fox Legion as a strong backup for the King of Qi also increases the difficulty of expanding and growing, which is also unfavorable to the King of Qi.

On October 28, the Turkic army was ambushed in the flat pine forest, and the Thunder Second Army of the Grand Alliance and the Ahuichuan Department of the Xi nationality took the Turks by surprise and took the Turks by surprise.

At the same time, the horse armies of the Grand Alliance, which were pursued from the battlefield of the Ghost Fang, were also "holding on" and besieging them on all sides, greatly delaying the retreat of the Turks.

However, on the Taoshui line, Turkic reinforcements roared in, and Tutun Ashid Mohuang, who remained behind in the Yaqi, gathered thousands of controls and launched a fierce attack on the alliance army.

At this moment, Han Shige had received an urgent report from the scouts, knowing that the Turkic army had withdrawn from the Ghost Battlefield and that his task had been completed, so he did not hesitate and decisively ordered the entire line to retreat. The Leopard cavalry was the first to withdraw, and the Thunder Fourth and Fifth armies were from both flanks, and the Humiliation King was cut off after the control of the strings was broken, and they fought and left, delaying the rescue of the Turks as much as possible.

On October 29, the Turkic army withdrew across Taoshui, and the Grand Alliance army stopped on the east bank of Taoshui, and the battle ended.

On the same day, Li Fengyun's order was delivered to the flat pine forest, and Mi Yong and several big axes led the second and fifth armies of Thunder to temporarily hold the Taoshui defense line, resting on the spot, and waiting until Zhong Xin, Hu Luba and Wang Yu led the army to Taoshui to take over the defense, and then the fire withdrew to the ghost side to participate in the northern expedition. The rest of the armies quickly withdrew to the ghost side to rest and recuperate, and chose a day to march north.

On October 30, just as Li Fengyun was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he received a joint letter from Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao again.

Cui Hongsheng's appearance made Li Fengyun really feel the heavy pressure from the Holy Lord and the center, and Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, who were "charging into battle", obviously couldn't stand it, compromised, changed course, cooperated with the Holy Lord and the center to put pressure on Li Fengyun, and threatened Li Fengyun with the division within the big alliance, which made the situation suddenly grim, forcing Li Fengyun to make a choice as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the good situation and waste all his previous achievements.

Although Li Fengyun had already made a decision before, asking Li and Yang to delay and not refuse the request of the Holy Lord and the center, in essence, he still refused, but in another way, striving to control the situation in Yanbei through the Flying Fox Legion and the King of Qi, and indirectly achieve the purpose of refusal.

However, the Holy Lord's edict ordered Cui Hongsheng to go to Gubeikou in person to raise the level of negotiations, which proved the determination of the Holy Lord and the Central Center to expel the Flying Fox rebels and stabilize the northern Xinjiang, and the Flying Fox rebels went out of the customs, and the situation in Youyan was stable, which was also in line with the interests of the wealthy families of Northern Hebei and Youyan with the Boling Cui clan, and the interests of local officials at all levels such as the Zhuo County Left-behind Mansion. It will inevitably produce an urgent desire to quickly exit the customs and join Anzhou with the main army.

Before Li Fengyun left Flying Fox, he had a secret conversation with Chen Rui, Han Yao, and Zhen Baoche, revealing the plan to use the three forces of King Qi, Flying Fox and Anzhou to echo inside and outside the Great Wall. Now that Anzhou has been captured, but the foothold is not stable, and it will take time to consolidate the results, so the Flying Fox Legion does not currently have the conditions to go out, that is to say, Chen Rui, Han Yao and Zhen Baoche should not have publicly implemented Li Fengyun's "tripartite echo" plan, and they have not yet told the remaining heroes that the task of the Flying Fox Legion is to hold Yanbei, rather than choosing an opportunity to go out of the customs to join the main force. In this case, if the central government, local governments and local forces use various channels and means to tempt, instigate and coerce the remaining heroes to leave the customs quickly, then Chen Rui, Han Yao and Zhen Baoche will not get a response from the majority of the people even if they insist on staying in the Flying Fox under the general trend, and in the end they can only put pressure on Anzhou with the heroes to force Li Fengyun to agree to their exit.

Yuan An saw Li Fengyun frowning and worried, and couldn't help reminding, "Ming Gong, the current situation inside and outside the Great Wall is very unfavorable to us. ”

"What do you suggest?" Li Fengyun asked.

Yuan An hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke Ming, the key to whether the Flying Fox Legion can stay in Yanbei lies in King Qi. If the King of Qi is forced by the heavy pressure of the Holy Lord and the center, looks forward and backward, is indecisive, and does not dare to join forces with the Flying Fox Legion to control Yanbei, then the Flying Fox Legion will be alone and difficult to hold onto. In this case, it is better to turn the passive into the active, accept the conditions of the Holy Lord and the center, and quickly withdraw the Flying Fox Legion into Anzhou to strengthen the strength of our alliance. ”

Li Fengyun glanced at Yuan An and said with a smile, "You don't have confidence in King Qi?" ”

"They are father and son, family, and we are rebels, enemies of their family." Yuan An said, "At the critical moment, King Qi's choice will definitely be unfavorable to us. ”

Li Fengyun nodded, "However, when the Flying Fox Legion is out of the customs, the alliance seems to be strong, but in fact, it is completely passive, and Anzhou is the fish on the chopping board, allowing the Holy Lord to cut it, so before the Flying Fox Legion is out of the customs, we must come up with effective countermeasures to regain the initiative, otherwise we will definitely die." ”

Yuan An sighed bitterly, at a loss.

Li Fengyun replied to Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, insisting on the established countermeasures, not refusing, but also not agreeing, firmly grasping the initiative in negotiations, only after ensuring the interests of Anzhou and ensuring the survival of the big alliance, can he accept the conditions of the Holy Lord and the center, and withdraw the Flying Fox Legion into Anzhou, and if you want to achieve this goal, the Northern Expedition must achieve phased results, otherwise the alliance has too few bargaining chips, and the room for bargaining is too small, and it is impossible to win satisfactory interests at all.
