The ninth day of February, Anzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yuan An and Ashina Hanhai rushed from the Chifeng General Camp day and night to the Alliance Governor's Mansion, and Cui Jiu, Li Sixing, and the twelve ladies of the Cui family who were hiding in the guard team arrived in Fangcheng at the same time.

At this time, the Northern Expedition was basically over, and the envoys in the Great Wall also came in a hurry, Li Fengyun should return in a hurry to preside over the overall situation, but Li Fengyun didn't know for some reason, he stayed in the Northeast and did not return, which made people wonder, but fortunately, Yuan An returned in time, which made Li Zixiong, Xiao Yi and other high-level members of the alliance happy, and finally waited for Li Fengyun to "speak".

Yuan An was exhausted, but he understood everyone's anxiety, and did not let the anticipating alliance military and political officials wait too long, simply ate and drank a little, recovered some strength, and immediately took Ashina Hanhai to the meeting hall.

Yuan An once again solemnly introduced Ashina Hanhai. The focus of this introduction is not Ashina Hanhai himself, but Ashina Hanhai leads out the Buli set Ashina Jar and the Songmoya Banner, as well as the cooperative relationship between the Songdesert Tooth Banner and the Grand Alliance, the key to this is that the Turkic people in the northeast are independent of the Grand Alliance and are on an equal footing with the Grand Alliance, while the two Donghu ethnic groups of Xi and Khitan are members of the Grand Alliance.

This is expected by the high-level of the alliance, since Bu Li set Ashina Tar defected before the battle, raised troops to rebel, betrayed the desert, of course, ambitious, it is impossible to succumb to the alliance and obey Li Fengyun's command, so everyone is not surprised by Yuan An's "grand introduction", and the alliance does need to have a clear understanding of the equal relationship between the two sides, which is conducive to the next cooperation between the two sides, and is conducive to the negotiations between the two sides and the Great Wall, but Ashina Tar's defection to Middle-earth has an obvious purpose. If Middle-earth fails to meet his terms, negotiations will inevitably be blocked, which will obviously be detrimental to the top of the coalition who are eager to return to Middle-earth.

Yuan An elaborated on the equal and cooperative relationship between the Songmoya Banner and the Grand Alliance, so that the senior management of the Grand Alliance had a clear and sober understanding of this, and set up an important "obstacle" for the return negotiations between the Grand Alliance and the Great Wall, and then the deliberations officially began.

Yuan An was the first to speak, and on behalf of Li Fengyun, the general manager of the Grand Alliance, he gave a detailed introduction to the Northern Expedition, among which the Battle of Shaolang River and the rebellion of Ashina Duer were the focus of everyone's attention, but Yuan An hastily took it and focused on the battlefield of Hongshui River, it seems that Khitan talents are the key to determining the victory or defeat of this Northern Expedition.

Then Yuan An carefully analyzed and deduced the current situation in the northeast and several dangers that existed, which was an important reason why Li Fengyun and Ashina Duer both stayed on both sides of the weak Luoshui River.

The high-level members of the alliance looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts not only did not go away, but became more and more serious.

From Yuan An's account, it can be seen that Li Fengyun is not temporarily stranded in the northeast, but it is difficult to return in the short term, so that the return negotiations will not be presided over by him, but controlled by Li Zixiong. The aristocratic forces of the alliance led by Li Zixiong were all eager to return, eager to give up their hands to Anzhou and the Northeast, and even sacrificed the interests of the alliance at the critical moment, so it is not difficult to imagine the result of the negotiations.

Is Li Fengyun turning a blind eye to this unfavorable situation? From the raising of the flag in Mangdang Mountain to the present, the results of the battles that have been fought through countless hardships have been spoiled by a group of fallen nobles? With the understanding of Li Fengyun by the grassroots forces of the alliance, it is absolutely impossible, and it is difficult to take advantage of Li Fengyun, so the greatest possibility is that Li Fengyun is going to play conspiracy again, but what kind of trick is needed to make him far away in the northeast but firmly control the outcome of the negotiations? What is the goal this time?

After talking about the affairs of the Northeast, Yuan An changed his words and finally talked about the issues that everyone was very concerned about, "Regarding the departure and stay of the Flying Fox Army, the chief manager has actually already expressed his attitude, and if he is forced to do so, he can withdraw to Anzhou." ”

Li Min frowned slightly, and when he heard what Yuan An said, he immediately asked, "What do you mean by necessity?" With the current situation in northern Xinjiang, the situation of the Flying Fox garrison is very embarrassing, is this a last resort? ”

Yuan An was about to speak, but Xiao Yi, who was sitting next to him, patted his arm in time, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "There is something I haven't had time to tell you yet." Yesterday, Li Anqi came, and on behalf of the King of Qi, persuaded us to make a compromise with the Great Wall, hoping that the remaining Flying Fox troops would withdraw into Anzhou as soon as possible. ”

Yuan An immediately speculated, bowed slightly, and then turned his eyes to look at Li Min, who was not good-looking, and said with a smile, "The chief manager has a trace of luck for the situation in northern Xinjiang, and the king of Qi always has hope, so I ask you to do your best to hold on to Yanbei, but the chief manager must plan for the worst and take precautions, so after taking Anzhou, he will go north non-stop to conquer, and one of the most important purposes is to ensure that the Flying Fox garrison has to retreat into Anzhou when they are cornered." ”

"The decision to get out of the customs is easy to do, but the road out of the customs is difficult, I believe everyone knows this very well." Yuan An looked at everyone and looked at Li Min again, "The reason why you took a huge risk and rushed all the way to Anzhou is not for the safety of the Flying Fox Guards?" ”

Yuan An is right, if the Flying Fox garrison is determined to get out of the customs, Li Fengyun is beyond the reach of the whip and is powerless to stop it, so the real purpose of Li Min going to Anzhou in person is to win Li Fengyun's support, and he needs Anzhou's response, cooperation and support, otherwise there is no safety at all on the way out of the customs.

Li Min's face became more and more ugly. Yuan An avoided the light, and only said that Li Fengyun agreed with the Flying Fox to stay behind the army to leave the customs, but as for the safety on the way out of the customs, he had nothing to say, which made Li Min anxious. Li Fengyun stayed in the northeast and did not return, and the main army of the alliance was also in the northeast battlefield, so no matter how Li Fengyun agreed, it was not sincere for Li Fengyun to agree with the Flying Fox to stay behind and leave the customs.

Li Min couldn't help it, and asked unceremoniously, "Now that the Northern Expedition is basically over, can the chief manager ensure the safety of the Flying Fox Guards?" ”

Yuan An didn't care about Li Min's attitude, he shook his hand and said, "The Northern Expedition is basically over, we basically control the Northeast, and now we can bargain with Anzhou and the Northeast together with the Great Wall, but this bargaining room is still very small, and it is still far from the conditions we are satisfied with." However, there is an unexpected joy in this northern expedition, Buli set up Ashina Duer to cooperate with us, Anzhou and Northeast actually have two masters, which to a certain extent increases the difficulty of negotiations, but because of this, once the desert also comes to negotiate and appease, forming a situation of two tigers competing for each other, we can profit from it, and we can openly make demands to the Great Wall, asking the Great Wall to ensure the safety of the Flying Fox garrison on the way out. ”

"However, people are not as good as heaven, and the situation is changing too fast, even if we try our best, it will not help." Yuan An shook his head and sighed, "Jiangnan marshal Liu Yuanjin is called the emperor according to Wu County, and Zhang Jin, the marshal of the north, said that he killed Feng Xiaoci, the general of the right Xiaowei, the domestic situation has deteriorated rapidly, and we have been pushed to the forefront, and the king of Qi is also coercing the holy lord again and again, first the left Xiaowei general Dong Chun went north to Yanmen, and then the right Xiaowei general Li Hun was also transferred to the northern Xinjiang, in such a situation, the emperor and the center can still raise tigers and tolerate our development and growth?" ”

Li Min had to admit that Yuan An was reasonable, relying only on the strength of the Anzhou family, there was really no way to ensure the safety of the Flying Fox garrison, which was very different from his original imagination. Li Min was helpless and at a loss, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated, "You all know that the food reserves of the flying fox can be supported until the end of the year at most, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians cut down on food and clothing, they can only hold on until the beginning of spring next year, and then ......."

Li Min looked up at Yuan An and asked angrily, "The flying fox is in danger, the soldiers and civilians there are all the old departments of the chief administrator, how can he not save him when he dies?" When he decided to get out of the fortress, didn't he just want to find a way to survive for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians? Now that he has a way to live, how can he leave the flying fox and leave it to fend for himself? ”

Yuan An shook his hand at Li Min again, signaling him not to be excited, not to be impatient, "As far as the current situation is concerned, if you want to ensure the safety of the left-behind army, rely on the return of Anzhou and the Northeast, and rely on the annexation of Buli to set Ashina Er, you can't minimize the risk, you must find another strategy, completely drive out the risk, and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Li Min was impatient and immediately asked, "Is there a plan?" ”

Yuan An nodded, "The chief manager does have a plan to ensure the safety of the Flying Fox garrison. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly changed, Li Min was overjoyed, and Li Zixiong, Xiao Yi and other high-level members of the alliance were also pleasantly surprised, but everyone was very restrained and even a little uneasy. There is a good strategy, but Yuan An hides it and flickers his words, which shows that this strategy has serious drawbacks, and may even sacrifice the overall interests of the alliance, and will be fiercely opposed by many people, otherwise why is Yuan An silent?

"What's going to happen?" Li Min asked eagerly.

Yuan An looked at everyone. Everyone was solemn and looking forward to it. There was silence in the lobby.

Yuan An slowly spoke, word by word, clearly into everyone's ears.

"The Third Crusade."

Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, in disbelief, dumbfounded.

The Third Crusade? Where did the Third Crusade come from? There was no news of this in the Great Wall, although the high-level of the alliance had heard about it, but some of them were rumors from the palace, and some were from Li Fengyun's prediction of the future situation, in short, so far, the emperor and the center had not made the decision of the Third Crusade, and there was no such thing as the Third Crusade at all.

Yuan An paused for a moment, waited until everyone's mood eased, and continued, "The chief manager has clearly explained that this matter is very important, and it is related to the life and death of the alliance, whether it will be implemented or not is discussed by the public, if an agreement can be reached, it will not only be conducive to the return negotiations, but also ensure the safe exit of the Flying Fox garrison." ”

Sure enough, it's a machia. All the high-level leaders of the alliance can't help but secretly slander themselves, crazy people do crazy tricks, Li Fengyun's madness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, outrageous, and frightening, although he has led the alliance to the edge of the cliff again and again, creating miracles again and again, but this kind of desperate gamble, it is impossible to be invincible, it is impossible to win every battle, as long as it fails, it is a catastrophe, and there are no bones. Now that the prospect is at hand, why go crazy with a madman?
