Li Fengyun led the Cangtou army to Dingtao City.

The officials and people of Jiyin fled when they heard the wind, and the wind in Dingtao City was loud, and the four doors were closed.

Xu Shiyun drove a flock of sheep and greeted Li Fengyun on the hill five miles away from the city.

Li Fengyun was very surprised when he saw Xu Shiyan, who was accompanied by Xu Shisan, the captain of the Xuanfeng Regiment, "When did Da Lang come to Dingtao?" ”

"It's been two days." The smile on Xu Shiyun's face was very stiff, and he arched his hand at Li Fengyun and said, "Brother is violent, Jiyin is terrified, and the Central Plains is terrified. When I heard the news from Lihu, I came to visit my brother.

Li Fengyun shook his head with a smile, and did not greet Xu Shiyan, and asked straight to the point, "A certain teacher has already come, and Zhai Fasi will not raise the flag again, when will it be?" ”

Xu Shiyan didn't respond, his smile was slightly retracted, his face was gloomy, and his eyes showed sadness, "Brother, the drought in the north and south of the river is strict, hunger is everywhere, and life is devastated. ”

Li Fengyun's smile suddenly fell, his expression was solemn, and his tone was resolute, "Time is not waiting, if you want to save the people of Li from fire and water, the only way is to move forward, kill the eastern capital, attack the city all the way, open a warehouse and release grain." There is no other way. ”

When Xu Shiyan heard this, his mood became even heavier.

It is better to be a peace dog than to be a troubled person. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, China has been deeply divided and war-torn for nearly 400 years, and now it is finally unified, the world is peaceful, who knows that the good days have not passed for more than ten years, the war has risen again, and the great cause of reunification is on the verge of collapse, why is this? Is it wrong for the emperor to conquer Tuyuhun in the west and Goguryeo in the east? In fact, there is nothing wrong with foreign expeditions, but the mistake is that it has encountered natural disasters, and it has been a natural disaster for two consecutive years, and the result has evolved into a **, and the people of Li on both sides of the river are covered with corpses under the left and right of the natural disaster**, and the signs of chaos in the world have quietly come.

Although Xu Shixi made a lot of preparations after hearing Li Fengyun's prediction of this year's drought in Mengshan, when the disaster came, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people fell into starvation overnight, and the little food hoarded by the power of the fox Xu clan was simply a drop in the bucket. Under the persecution of the existential crisis, the victims of the disaster in the north and south of the river had no choice but to save themselves, and the only way to rise up and "attack" the private treasury of the aristocracy and the wealthy and the official warehouse and the righteous warehouse controlled by the government, so the tide of the uprising swept across both sides of the river. The private treasury of the aristocratic and wealthy is limited, take the Lihu Xu family as an example, how many people can its private treasury support? Therefore, under the attack of natural disasters, the survival crisis of the aristocracy and rich people is also severe, in order to save themselves, they can only rise up, with the victims who follow them, attack the town, and attack the local government.

But only those with a little brain know that this kind of violence not only does not save itself, but dies faster. You robbed the official warehouse today and ate enough, what about tomorrow? You took a large group of people and grabbed all the food you could get back from this piece, but there were too many people who needed to eat, how long could you last it? There is only so much food, and when you are full, others will starve to death, and those who starve will definitely be far more than those who survive, and as for those who survive, how long can they struggle? The victory of the Eastern Crusade is over, the main force of the Weifu Army has returned, and their end has come. So this is a disaster, and the ultimate price is the shaking of the country, the decline of the national strength, and the sharp decline of the population

Xu Shiyun couldn't find a good way to save it, so he could only helplessly watch the weak creatures disappear, and at this time, Li Fengyun took the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance to kill him, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury to the bad situation on both sides of the river, and the mighty Southwest Lu Righteous Army was like a howling hurricane, leaving no tile wherever it passed.

Xu Shimo's heart ached to the bone. Since you, Li Fengyun, have gone to Mengshan, even if you burn, kill, and plunder in Lu County, why do you still want to go to the Central Plains and harm the people of the Central Plains? Didn't you take advantage of the fire to rob? You are just a bandit, you only care about yourself and no one else, and do you know how many innocent people will die because of you when you lead the war to both sides of the great river and burn it to the Central Plains?

Xu Shiyan is a teenager after all, a young man full of ideals and conscience will definitely not ignore the death of the grass mustard ant mole like a politician, so he is compassionate and compassionate, and he is miserable about the tragic status quo in front of him, and even vents his resentment on Li Fengyun, and Li Fengyun has no way to speculate about his psychology, and is still very optimistic that through the efforts of the young master of the Xu family, he will establish an alliance with the Wagang Haoxiong with Zhai Rang, and the Central Plains Righteous Army and the Southwest Lu Righteous Army will work together, and the Righteous Army Alliance will surely grow stronger. This will not only help to achieve the goal of the westward expedition to the Central Plains, but also help to compete for hegemony in the future.

Li Fengyun saw that Xu Shiyun's feelings were low, and he didn't have the slightest joy at all, especially when he suddenly appeared under Dingtao City at this moment, it gave people a sense of surprise, could it be that I missed something? A trace of gloom suddenly welled up in Li Fengyun's heart, and then he thought of Xu Shiyan's avoidance of talking about Zhai Rang, which suddenly made him realize that the people of Wagang might not welcome his arrival.

Why didn't the Wagang people raise their banners to rebel? Why don't you welcome me? Li Fengyun thought about it, and gradually realized, and a trace of gloom passed imperceptibly in his eyes.

In the final analysis, the Wagang people are still full of confidence in the victory of the Eastern Crusade. How can you kill a chicken with a knife? The Eastern Expedition was victorious, the emperor and the central government had outstanding martial arts, their authority was greatly increased, and the expeditionary army returned from a great victory, with a momentum like a tiger, so strong and powerful, who could stop its sharpness? The rebel army in the north and south of the river was nothing more than a group of earth dogs in front of the powerful Weifu army, and they had no power to fight back at all. For the emperor and the central government, the traitor endangers the security of the country, is a heinous criminal, must be killed, eradicate the grass, but the thief is different, it endangers the local security, the local government is responsible for the pursuit, although the catch will be killed, but it will not involve the clan relatives and friends to cut off the head together, let alone let thousands of innocent people bury themselves.

If the Wagang people have this mentality, then it is enough to push the local nobles in this area, and they must also have this mentality, that is, everyone does not welcome Li Fengyun and his alliance of rebels in southwest Lu.

Although the government is not effective in disaster relief, considering that it is located on the periphery of Gyeonggi, the image of a great country and the "coat" of benevolence, righteousness and morality still have to be maintained, and Dongdu definitely does not want to see a large number of disaster victims pouring into Gyeonggi, so wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Therefore, in the case of forced abandonment, the eastern capital must lend a helping hand, there are many wealthy families in the eastern capital, Gyeonggi is also full of tycoons, and there are many believers in Buddhism and Taoism, if everyone contributes money and efforts together, although it will not save the people from fire and water, it can definitely effectively alleviate the disaster, reduce deaths, and even in some areas where the disaster is mild, it can gradually resume cultivation and production, and to do this, the premise is to stabilize the dìng, and the counties outside Gyeonggi must maintain a stable dìng.

If all of them are rampant with traitors like the Qilu counties, thieves are swarming, the government loses control over its own jurisdiction, and the victims are even more coerced and displaced by traitors, then how can we talk about stability? Without stability and order, how can we talk about disaster relief? Since the eastern capital can't help, and the traitors burn, kill, and plunder, the natural disasters will explode together, the death toll will inevitably skyrocket, and the local nobles, bureaucrats and rich people can't be left alone, and the final result must be out of control, and the situation must be a mess. This is only the initial bad luck, when the expeditionary force returns, to fight the chaos and suppress the thieves, the first to be eliminated is the Central Plains traitors, the Central Plains is where Gyeonggi is located, is the economic center of the Central Plains, how can the traitors be allowed to run rampant? Then the war will come here again, and not only the traitors will die, but also the innocent who have been dragged away by the traitors. You can imagine that first there was a natural disaster, then **, and then the Weifu army fought against the thieves, you kill it, I kill it, the corpses are all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, what else can be left in this area in the end? The walls are ruined, the land is thousands of miles, and it is uninhabited, and it is estimated that even a few dogs cannot be found.

The consequences are so strict, how do you let Zhai Rang raise the flag and rebel? How can you make Wagang people embarrassed? Rebellion is not only suicide, but also killing, and turning one's homeland into a hell on earth, this is not a dream, this is a reality.

However, if Zhai Rang does not raise the flag, does not rebel, and does not cause trouble in the Central Plains, it does not mean that the people of Li in this area can be saved. From the moment Li Fengyun decided to take the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance into the Central Plains, bad luck befell them, and it also befell Zhai Rang's head, unless there was a miracle, the nightmare would come true.

Xu Shixi waited here early, not expecting a miracle, he just wanted to say the true thoughts of the Wagang people, he just wanted to show the compassion of the Wagang people, and he just wanted to do his part for the innocent creatures with his conscience.

"When will Zhai Fasi raise the flag?" Li Fengyun's voice was calm, and there was even a faint smile on his face.

Everyone has their own position and interests, and Zhai Rang and Wagang people are no exception. Li Fengyun went west to fight the Central Plains, in fact, it was to grab food in their mouths, of course people were not happy, and if the Eastern Expedition was won, this piece would be on the periphery of Gyeonggi, just at the door of the Eastern Capital, of course, the emperor and the central government would focus on encirclement and suppression, at that time, Li Fengyun could calmly withdraw to Mengshan with the army, but the people of Li in this area suffered, and under a series of bad luck blows such as natural disasters and wars, there must be very few people who survived in the end. Zhai Rang's reluctance to raise the flag to rebel was directly related to the fact that Wagang was too close to the Eastern Capital. Now that this place has suffered a catastrophe and the lives have been devastated, and the eastern capital will definitely have to help, he is even more reluctant to raise the banner to rebel. However, now that Li Fengyun has come and broken the situation on the periphery of Gyeonggi, Zhai has left him with a way out?

"Where is Brother's goal?" Xu Shiyun still didn't respond, "Is it Jiyin?" Or Xingyang? ”

Li Fengyun smiled but did not speak.

"The disaster situation in Dongjun is strict, and the seizure is limited, and Xingyang has a strong defense in front of it, and there is support from Dongdu in the back, and the strength is too strong, only Liangjun Cangli is rich, and there is also a Tongji waterway, which is exactly what Brother needs."

"Are you persuading a certain person to turn around and hit Liang County?"

Xu Shiyun barely squeezed out a smile and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Brother wants to cross the river to the north and attack Liyangcang."

Li Fengyun laughed and stretched out his hand to ask, "Eat and drink, let's talk again." ”
