Chapter 416: Li Hun's Character
Regarding Li Fengyun's positive offensive attitude and the strategy of going forward to kill the eastern capital, Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shige all cautiously held reservations, although the current front-line battles in Yishui are all alliance armies, and it is Li Fengyun who really speaks on the battlefield, but it is a matter of everyone's interests, before Yang Xuangan has not yet come to the eastern capital and the mutiny has not yet formed a fact, it is necessary to control the rhythm of the attack, and must effectively contain the Weifu army on the basis of preserving its own strength, and it is a good thing to curb Li Fengyun's passionate attack, but if it goes too far and becomes megalomania and rampage, that's a bad thing.
"Your confidence in going to the Eastern Capital must come from the latest information transmitted by the secret channels of the Eastern Capital." After Li Mi weighed it a little, he decided to "hold" Li Fengyun and prevent this tiger from losing control, "There is also a secret channel from the Eastern Capital, and there is also a secret channel from Xijing. Do you know the situation in Xijing? Do you know that Yang Yu, the acting king, has reached a compromise with Xijing and Shangshu Weiwen of the Criminal Department? Do you know what it meant for them to work together before the mutiny broke out? ”
Li Fengyun had already estimated the situation in Xijing, and knew that Li Mi must have a way to find out the political situation in Xijing, and now when he heard Li Mi take the initiative to talk about this matter, although he didn't think so, he still feigned surprise. Acting King Yang Yu and Xijing stayed behind to guard Wen ** into a compromise and work together, which means that the local aristocratic group in Guanlong faced the crisis from the northwest and the Central Plains, and had to temporarily put aside the contradictions between the Holy Lord and the reformers, as for whether the two sides are true cooperation or fake cooperation, they both know each other, but as far as this matter itself is concerned, whether it is Yuan Hongsi in the northwest, or Yang Tong, the king of Yue in the eastern capital, or Yang Xuangan, who is planning a mutiny in Liyang, they all feel heavy pressure, Neither can correctly assess what impact the cooperation between the two sides will have on the future situation.
"Regardless of whether the cooperation between them is sincere or not." Li Mi continued, "In terms of cooperation itself, it means that Yang Yu, the acting king, has the will to send troops to the Eastern Capital at a critical moment. If we attack too fiercely in the eastern capital, Li Hun is defeated again and again, the eastern capital asks for help from Xijing, Wei Wensheng is determined to send troops, and the acting king Yang Yu is forced to send an army east to Tongguan first, and this move is equivalent to acting Wang Yang Yu to show the position of Xijing, no matter how the situation in the eastern capital changes, the western Kyoto will advance and retreat with the eastern capital, which will inevitably affect the attitude and position of many forces in the eastern capital on the mutiny, which is very unfavorable to the mutiny. ”
Li Mi's words were subtle, but in fact they negated Li Fengyun's attack strategy.
Li Fengyun did not hesitate and immediately refuted, "A certain inference on this matter is completely different from your analysis. Xijing is deliberately trying to promote the explosion of this mutiny, what is the purpose? A certain believes that Xijing's purpose is very clear, to crack down on the Holy Lord and the reformers, firmly establish the status of the crown prince of the acting king Yang Yu, and lay a solid foundation for the Guanlong people to firmly control the government, and this mutiny is their means to achieve this goal, and Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan) and you, the mutiny participants, are all victims of their realization of this goal. It can be seen from this that no matter how bad the situation in the Eastern Capital is, as long as the Eastern Capital is still in the hands of Yang Tong, the King of Yue, as long as the Eastern Capital has not fallen and collapsed, as long as the Eastern Capital has not become a ruin, as long as the mutiny has not endangered the foundation of the country, has not dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Lord and the reformers, and has not forced the Holy Lord to abandon the Second Eastern Crusade, they will not send troops, which is an obvious thing. On the contrary, if the situation is as you predicted, and the eastern capital cries a few times in panic, Xijing can't wait to send troops to support, and wants to advance and retreat with the eastern capital, then what is Xijing's plan? How to explain the explosion of this mutiny that Xijing deliberately promoted before? ”
"According to your analysis and deduction, as long as the Holy Lord has not given up the Eastern Crusade and has not returned from Liaodong, Xijing will not send troops to support the Eastern Capital?" Li Mi questioned.
"A certain analysis may not be correct, but there is no doubt about it." Li Fengyun replied, "Before the Holy Lord has not given up the Eastern Crusade, and before the counterinsurgency army sent by the Holy Lord has not arrived in the Eastern Capital, even if Xijing sends troops, it will not attack with all its might, at most it is just a bluff to cover up the truth, otherwise what is Xijing's plan?" Counting on the Lord's gifts? In this case, if the Holy Lord does not tear his face, does not betray his promise, does not take the opportunity to make a move, and does not sweep away the conservative forces, he is not a holy lord, but a saint. Therefore, even if Xijing considers it from the standpoint of self-preservation, he must find ways to preserve his strength, leave all the hard work and dirty work to the counterinsurgency army sent by the Holy Lord, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and stand aside to pick up the cheap, only in this way can Guan Long have enough strength to resist the crazy counterattack of the Holy Lord and the reformers in the liquidation after the storm. ”
Li Mi was speechless for a while, but he couldn't find a rebuttal. Li Min had no intention of helping Li Mi out of the siege, but seeing Li Fengyun's resolute attitude, he wisely closed his mouth and was silent after a little thought.
Han Shimo had to speak, "Although Guogong (Li Hun) has a bad character, he is brave and good at fighting, and his strategy is outstanding, and he has inherited the talent of the Li clan in Longxi in military affairs, plus all the eagles under his command are the elite of the Weifu, even if you have his troop deployment, even if you take him by surprise with a night attack, you may not be able to defeat him, let alone beat him back to the Eastern Capital." ”
Li Hun is talented, talented, meritorious, and magnificent, but his character is bad, and it is also an open secret in the Eastern Capital, and his most despicable act is to snatch the family's hereditary title from the orphans and widows of the long house, which shows that he is greedy and shameless, selfish, and unkind.
"It is precisely because of Li Hun's bad character that a certain person believes that in the current situation, Li Hun not only does not have the determination to fight with us, but also has no willingness to charge for Yang Tong, the king of Yue." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "Don't forget, he, like Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong), has long been regarded as the king of Qi, even if the king of Qi loses power, but this brand on his body can't be erased, so the inference is that when he knows that the king of Qi wants to use the Eastern Capital Mutiny to make profits, he must create conditions for the king of Qi to make profits." If the king of Qi does not fall, he can save himself, and if the king of Qi falls, his future will be difficult to predict. ”
"In that case, how can Li Hun create the best profit-making conditions for the King of Qi on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital?" Li Hun looked at everyone, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he stopped talking.
Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shige looked at each other, and they could accept Li Fengyun's statement, but Li Hun had a selfish personality, and when King Qi's loss of power was a foregone conclusion, it seemed very difficult to expect him to lose his immediate interests and gamble on King Qi's future interests.
"Guogong (Li Hun) should be in deep trouble, hesitant and restless, and unable to sleep at night." Li Min thought of himself and his father Li Zixiong, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's inevitable." Li Fengyun said, "One wrong step and one wrong step, since he chose King Qi at the beginning, there is only one way to go to the dark, even if he changes his course and intends to change the court, but with his character, who dares to accept it?" Last year, the king of Qi left Beijing, and he made great efforts, which shows that he also has to fight to the death, and this year, the Holy Lord still put him in an important position in the garrison of the eastern capital, and the deep meaning behind this is worth considering. ”
"Li Hun's brother-in-law is Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, he was able to successfully win the heir thanks to Yu Wenshu's help, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is good, but at that time, the holy lord was still the crown prince, and he had not yet ascended the throne, and he was very much in need of the support of a wealthy family like the Li family of Longxi Chengji who had huge strength in the military, and now the shape is different, Li Hun is deeply involved in the battle for the imperial system and is difficult to extricate himself, plus he is also one of the military real power factions that hinder the holy lord from reforming the military system and centralizing military power, and has become a thorn in the side of the holy lord. In this case, Li Hun not only could not get Yuwenshu's help, but would fall into the trap set by Yuwenshu if he was not careful, so Li Hun's current situation was very bad. It was precisely because of his bad situation that acting kings Yang Yu and Guan Long carefully kept their distance from him, so as not to be dragged down by him, and Li Hun was obviously very disappointed in this, and he could only pin his hopes on King Qi, which gave us a chance. ”
"Before, Li Hun had his back to Luoshui, set up a defensive battle formation between Xianren Palace and Yishui, and let the fall of Yique endanger the eastern capital, which has already explained his attitude, if we take into account the close relationship between him and the king of Qi, we can also interpret it as some kind of temptation, to see if there is some connection between our attack on the eastern capital and the king of Qi taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits."
Li Fengyun's words reminded everyone that Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shige flashed and nodded frequently.
"Since Li Hun has made a hint, will we respond?" When Li Mi spoke, his eyes were not looking at Li Fengyun, but at Li Min, obviously hoping that Li Min would go on a trip and meet Li Hun secretly to find out what Li Hun really thought.
At present, only Li Fengyun and Li Min are close to the king of Qi in this army, and these two people participated in the mutiny with other plans, both to help the king of Qi make profits, this Li Mi is still clear, but for the time being, both sides still have common interests and need to cooperate, and it is not yet time to tear their faces, so they can use it, and they can squeeze the value as much as possible.
Li Min looked at Li Fengyun with an inquiring look.
Li Fengyun nodded, "Now that we are sure of defeating him, it will be more conducive to you to convince him to make the right choice at the critical moment and make a choice that is in his interest." ”
In the evening of the same day, Li Min secretly met with Li Hun through his own "channel".
Li Hun was a little surprised, he had been in close contact with the King of Qi and Wei Fu's heirs, of course he knew the whereabouts of Li Min after the First Battle of Bianshui, he thought that Li Min was in Henan, thought that he was hiding under Li Fengyun's account, and never expected Li Min to appear magically on the battlefield of Yique.
Li Hun immediately thought of a possibility, and without waiting for greetings, he asked, "Is it Li Fengyun who captured Yique?" ”
Li Min smiled and nodded.
Li Hun suddenly realized, this trick is used well, no wonder Han Xiangguo's strength is so strong, it turns out that it is Li Fengyun who is hiding behind him, and what he has to deal with is the elite of the alliance, this battle is not easy to fight.
"Why is Li Fengyun in a hurry to come to the Eastern Capital?" Li Hun asked, "He doesn't have the strength to capture the Eastern Capital, and if he enters the Eastern Capital too early, the whole army will definitely be annihilated." ”
"X is not here to save Li Fengyun." Li Min smiled, "It's here to save the public." ”
Li Hun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I want to hear about it." ”
