On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, when Li Zixiong was anxiously waiting for the result of the negotiation between Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju in the Great Governor's Mansion, Li Hun was also paying close attention in the pavilion, and his mood was far more anxious than Li Zixiong.

Li Hun knew very well that it was impossible for Anton to give up his autonomy, which was related to the life and death of the rebel forces led by Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, but the Holy Lord and the central center wanted to take Anton and did not want to raise tigers for trouble, so the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable.

Pei Shiju faced this dilemma, the only way is to "sacrifice" his political interests to win the political compromise between the two sides, but he has a bottom line, and he can't sacrifice his political "life", so he can't get on Li Fengyun's "thief ship" and be "kidnapped" by Li Fengyun, nor can he jump into the trap of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and suffer on behalf of the Holy Lord and the center. Accept Li Pingyuan's military power to command Anton to realize the actual occupation of Anton in Middle-earth.

Before, Anton did not mention Li Pingyuan at all and did not make any compromises on autonomy, but Li Fengyun was forced by the critical situation and the difficult situation of the alliance, so he still left a way out for Anton, and tried every means to "pull" Pei Shiju into Anton's crisis-ridden political quagmire. However, Pei Shiju is in a high position, and he came to Anton to solve problems, how can he be used by Li Fengyun to be a shield for Anton? Therefore, Li Fengyun's plot was doomed to failure, and in this way, the development of the situation was very unfavorable for King Qi and Li Hun.

The four political forces of King Qi, Li Hun, Li Zixiong, and Li Fengyun formed an alliance and cooperated, and their salient characteristics were that one was bright and one dark, one inside and one outside, and the inside and outside should be combined and mutually solidarity, so Li Fengyun and the rebel army he led were an indispensable link, and without this link, King Qi and Li Hun were isolated and had to fight alone, and as a result, they must be passively beaten, and they must be swallowed by the Holy Lord and the reformers.

Among the political forces headed by King Qi and Li Hun, King Qi is a "banner", and the real core figures are Li Hun, Wei Fusi, Li Zixiong, Dong Chun and other Guanlong magnates, and it is the Guanlong military meritorious aristocratic group headed by the Li family of Xichengji, and behind this political force is a powerful conservative force in Xijing.

In this bad political background, the Holy Lord and the reformers are bound to crack down on or even eradicate the political forces headed by the King of Qi, and in the name of the "Imperial War", they will kill the Guanlong magnates such as Li Hun, Wei Fusi, Li Zixiong, and Dong Chun, and deal a heavy blow to the Guanlong military meritorious aristocracy headed by the Li clan in Longxi, and deal a heavy blow to the conservative forces in Xijing.

Li Hun smelled the strong smell of blood and saw that the shadow of death was rapidly approaching the Li clan of Chengji in Longxi.

The Li family of Chengji in Longxi has an edict of exemption from death issued by the first emperor, but the object of exemption from death is Li Mu, Li Hun's father, and Li Mu's heirs. The "elasticity" of the heir's bloodline is greater, for example, Li Hun is Li Mu's tenth son, and there is no possibility of succession, but with the help of the Holy Lord and Yu Wenshu, he seized the right to succeed from the eldest grandson of the eldest house. Now that Li Hun is getting farther and farther away from the Holy Lord and Yuwen Shu, once the Holy Lord wants to attack the Li family of Chengji in Longxi, the first target to be killed is Li Hun, and of course he will not recognize his illegal right to succeed.

Li Hun was anxious about this, although he had expected it before, had taken precautions, and took the initiative to attack, but he was now tied to the "boat" of King Qi, and was "trapped" in the place of Anton, which was far away from the "base camp" of Longxi, and the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, his room for maneuver was too small, and there were too few effective means, so he could only count on King Qi or hope for Anton, but these two could give him too little help, which made him at a loss, and he could only have a trace of luck for Li Fengyun in his helplessness.

Just when he was anxious and panicked, Li Zixiong's cronies brought a message and asked him to come to the mansion overnight for a secret talk.

Li Hun finally saw Li Fengyun's "true body". This summer, the Eastern Capital mutinied, he and Li Fengyun began to face each other head-on from Yique Dao, and established a tacit understanding under Li Min's needle lead, but until Li Fengyun broke through the Eastern Capital Waiguo and looted the golden cicada after the shell left, the two of them had not met on the battlefield, and they could only be regarded as having heard of his name for a long time and had not seen him.

The two have been "acquaintances" for a long time, and now their interests are connected and each has their own plans, they are very polite to each other, and they are very affectionate.

However, the closer Li Fengyun became, the stronger Li Hun's sense of foreboding became, so he stopped being polite and got straight to the point, "What is the result of tonight's negotiations?" ”

Li Fengyun didn't hide it, he was blunt, and he said three words neatly, "Li Pingyuan." ”

Li Hun's expression was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word.

As expected, Pei Shiju came to solve the problem, and it was impossible to let Anton control the initiative and delay time, so the development of the situation would inevitably take a sharp turn as he expected. Fortunately, Li Fengyun was still righteous, and Li Zixiong also took care of the overall situation of the Li family in Longxi, and did not betray himself at the critical moment, did not fall into the ground, but immediately informed himself, and everyone sat together to discuss countermeasures.

"Gong Yu, with Pei Shiju's courage and ruthlessness, since he made a move, Anton will definitely be difficult to resist, and a certain cocoon is self-bound, helpless, once it is a fait accompli, a certain will be coerced by him, and will also be coerced by all forces, and finally he can't help himself, and he can't help himself." Li Fengyun sighed, "This matter is out of control, Pei Shiju has seized the initiative, we are deeply passive, we can only try our best to defend, Xu Tu will plan later." ”

"Xu Tu's aftermath?" Li Hun sneered, "Unless there is no Third Eastern Crusade, Anton's army will be on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition and will be under siege. Cocoon self-restraint, you are not cocooning yourself, but deliberately, deliberately pulling Pei Shiju into Anton, otherwise how can you resist the threat of Middle-earth when you have an unstable foothold? And how to deal with the counterattack of the Turks? You can only rely on Pei Shiju's power, rely on Pei Shiju's power in Middle-earth and his deterrent power to the north, effectively resist the huge threat from both the north and the south, and then hide under Pei Shiju's wing to gain precious respite, right? Is so-and-so right? ”

Li Fengyun was expressionless and did not explain.

Li Zixiong wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Li Hun was on the verge of losing his temper due to anger, and his words were fierce, he had to shake his hand at him, signaling him to calm down and be restless, after all, Li Fengyun has not betrayed him yet, and he is still trying to find a countermeasure.

Li Hun took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued, "In the Yulin storm back then, Li Pingyuan directly forced Yuwenshu's father and son into a desperate situation with the fact that he was in a foreign country, and a large number of political enemies swarmed up, trying to kill Yuwenshu and his family, forcing the Holy Lord to fight back, reversing right and wrong and killing a large number of meritorious ministers, which barely saved them, but Yu Wenhua, Yuwenzhi and his brothers, as well as many of Yuwenshu's protégés, were cut off, and the Holy Lord paid the price of serious damage to his authority, Since then, the struggle between the two capitals has become increasingly fierce, storms have ensued, and the political situation has deteriorated. Today's predicament in the Eastern Capital is directly related to the Yulin storm back then, so the grudge between the Holy Lord, Yuwenshu and Li Pingyuan is very deep, and there is no way to resolve it. Although the current crisis forced the Holy Lord and Yuwenshu to make compromises to Anton, if they wanted to officially recognize and accept Li Pingyuan and make the illusion of turning hostility into jade silk, not only Pei Shiju would have to compromise with them, but also the Shandong wealthy families led by the Boling Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan would also have to make concessions, and as for Li Pingyuan, they would have to pay a lot of price, and what this price was was self-evident. ”

Speaking of this, Li Hun's expression was cold, and his eyes were murderous, "You said that you can't help yourself, what can you explain?" Is it to break promises and break promises? At the beginning, you wanted to go north to develop, and you had to use the power of the King of Qi and us to fight thousands of miles, and now that you have succeeded, you will immediately rebel and turn against each other? ”

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "Don't be excited, Duke Jianchang and Gong Jianchang invited you to meet overnight, just to discuss a countermeasure." However, I have to tell you that if you want to achieve your goals, you must trust each other, and especially keep your promises. This time, we achieved major results, but instead of obtaining the corresponding benefits, we fell into a predicament and lost the initiative, because the king of Qi reversed course and did not fulfill his promises. ”

Li Hun frowned tightly and was silent. Li Zixiong told him about this matter, Li Fengyun had a plan before leaving the fortress, if the army of the fortress captured Anzhou, the king of Qi and the flying fox left behind the army should cooperate with the outside to seize the control of Yanbei, and form a tripartite echo inside and outside the Great Wall, then it will inevitably force the holy lord and the center to compromise, so as to defraud the maximum benefits, so as to achieve the initial goal of northward development, that is, the king of Qi and Er Li can base themselves in the northern Xinjiang, and after the return of Anzhou, they will openly work together, and they will develop and grow rapidly. However, at the critical moment, the King of Qi retreated, not only refused to cooperate with the Flying Fox Defenders, but instead helped the Holy Lord and the Central Center to coerce the Flying Fox Defenders to leave the customs immediately, and the situation was one-sided.

Li Hun looked up at Li Zixiong and sighed, "You have decided?" ”

Li Zixiong nodded, "It's easy to give up King Qi, but King Qi and we are already a whole, and it's too difficult to give up King Qi and protect ourselves." ”

Li Hun felt the same way, "We are all on the boat of King Qi, if we do our best to support King Qi and hold high the banner of King Qi, we still have the strength to fight, otherwise, if we still disembark from the ship, we will lose the banner and fight alone, and we will definitely lose." ”

"There is a way." Li Dao, "But the premise is that Duke Yu, Duke Dangyang (Wei Fusi), Duke Wencheng (Li Shanheng), Duke Shunzheng (Dong Chun), several of you must reach an agreement." ”

Li Hun realized, "Eastern Crusade? ”

Li Fengyun smiled, "King Qi's Eastern Expedition, isn't there no return?" ”
