On the fourteenth day of the first month, in the early morning, the Grand Governor's Mansion of the Alliance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zixiong and other high-level members of the alliance were anxious and couldn't sleep at night, waiting for Li Fengyun's news, and the result was beyond their expectations, Li Fengyun's negotiations with Pei Shiju ended quickly, and Li Fengyun came back soon.

Everyone's hearts were cold and their mood was low. With such a short time for negotiations, there will certainly be no results, and there is even a possibility that the talks will collapse.

Li Fengyun's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Everyone waited for the worst result, and they had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, so under Li Zixiong's signal, they dispersed one after another.

Li Zixiong, Yuan An, and Xiao Yi, the three core members of the alliance, stayed.

"Is Wen Xigong vetoed, or is there room for it?" Li Zixiong asked.

Li Fengyun shook his head and sighed, "He didn't veto. ”

Li Zixiong frowned, and after a little hesitation, he asked, "Li Pingyuan?" ”

Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked at each other with solemn expressions. Of course, they knew who Li Pingyuan was, and they also knew the meaning of the three words "Li Pingyuan" when Li Zixiong said it at this moment, and the top level of the alliance had actually made this prediction about the direction of the negotiations, just because Li Fengyun had already made a decision on this, and if the negotiations were carried out in this direction, the implication would be wider and the variables would be greater, so when the negotiations did not reach a deadlock and the situation was not extremely urgent, the alliance did not want to closely associate Li Pingyuan with autonomy.

Li Fengyun nodded, also frowning, "Li Pingyuan." ”

Li Zixiong looked at Yuan An and Xiao Yi, and the three of them looked at each other and were speechless.

After a long time, Li Zixiong sighed, "As early as the moment when the Holy Lord ordered Li Pingyuan to serve as the commander of Anton, the Holy Lord and the central center had already preset the direction for appeasing Anton, but at that time, Anzhou had just been conquered, and the outcome of the Northern Expedition was uncertain, so we had no time to pay attention to it, ignoring the mystery hidden behind this edict, or rather, we didn't want to be shackled by our own weaknesses, and we didn't want to see our fate controlled by others, so we consciously avoided it." However, strength determines everything, arms can't twist thighs, and what should come will come after all. Now that Pei Shiju is here, he proposed to exchange Li Pingyuan for Anton's military power, which directly pushed us to the cusp, what can we do? ”

"On the cusp?" Xiao Yi sighed bitterly, "Gong Jianchang, according to our analysis and deduction, if the Holy Lord and the Central Authority are determined to exchange Li Pingyuan for Anton's military power, then for some people, the future will not be on the cusp of the storm, but falling into the bottomless abyss." ”

"yes, the situation is very bad for us." Yuan An also sighed, "Li Pingyuan originally had a huge force behind him, and now Li Pingyuan is hegemonic according to Anton, sitting on an army of more than 100,000 Han captives, and his strength is even stronger, which not only directly changes the trend of the general trend of the north and south, but also has an impact on the fate of Middle-earth. ”

"A certain person has already made a decision, and he also clearly told you before the negotiation that Li Pingyuan is dead, and only Li Fengyun is alive to ensure that you will not be calculated by your opponent, but now it seems that you are too arrogant, not only seriously underestimating the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Holy Lord and the center, but also daring to the point of seeking the skin of the tiger, but not only did not calculate Pei Shiju, but was caught by Pei Shiju, so that it is difficult to ride a tiger today, and he is in a dilemma."

Hearing this, Yuan An and Xiao Yi were secretly surprised, and suddenly felt ominous. But Li Zixiong was not shocked, when he guessed that Li Fengyun was going to "pull" Pei Shiju into Anton Chong as a shield, he had a premonition that Li Fengyun was "playing with fire". Who is Pei Shiju? I am a political boss who is very jealous, who is the opponent of the young Li Fengyun?

"Wen Xigong is here, is it to inform directly, or is it designed to coerce?" Li Zixiong asked.

"I guess I should have told you." Li Fengyun's eyes were cold, and he was depressed and indignant, "He didn't know the true intention of X before, and after he determined that X's goal was the Civil War, he made a decisive move, exchanging Li Pingyuan for Anton's military power, and striving to maximize benefits, but he learned the lesson of the Yulin storm that year, no longer trusted X, and was determined to tie X's hands and feet, and do his best to control the situation." ”

"If you are so-and-so, so-and-so doesn't trust you, and so-and-so has to find ways to tie your hands and feet." Li Zixiong shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "You lost control a long time ago, and now look at what you have done, you are no longer out of control, but crazy and rampage, not to mention that the Holy Lord and the center feel threatened, even Pei Shiju is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past." ”

"Needless to say, this will not help solve the current crisis." Li Fengyun shook his hand, looked at Li Zixiong, Yuan An and Xiao Yi, and said solemnly, "With a certain understanding of Pei Shiju, since he has come to Anton and is determined to solve all the problems of Anton, he will inevitably intervene strongly and completely control the situation." In other words, since he had made the decision to exchange Li Pingyuan for Anton's military power, he would not compromise, let alone delay, and would definitely play the Holy Lord and the Central Authority as quickly as possible. And the edict, a fait accompli, we are not passive, but there is no way, the general trend can only succumb, at the mercy of Pei Shiju, the result can be imagined, first we ourselves will be messed up, our previous layout will be broken, we have to fight separately, and finally be broken by each other. ”

Speaking of which, the expressions of the four people were very serious, their moods were heavy, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"The reason why we were able to achieve today's results and create a miracle in the northward operation is not that we made correct decisions, not that our soldiers fought bravely, nor that we were particularly lucky, but that we received the full support of the King of Qi, Jibei and Youyan wealthy families, and fully benefited from the alliance and cooperation of the three parties." Li Fengyun continued, "According to the agreement, the three of us should share the results of the battle, but the reality is that if the situation is allowed to unfold under the control of the Holy Lord and the Center, the greatest results will be robbed by the Holy Lord and the Center, and the remaining small part of the results will be divided between the Northern Hebei and Youyan wealthy families, and we will get nothing except for a little living space and barely enough money and food, as for the King of Qi, not only can he not enjoy the results of this battle, but he was betrayed by us, calculated by the Holy Lord and the Center, and became the biggest victim. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fengyun became more and more angry, and his voice was fierce, "King Qi is moving a stone to shoot himself in the foot, bringing disaster upon himself, if he can keep the original agreement, after we capture Anzhou, immediately join the Flying Fox Garrison to seize control of Yanbei, and then form a three-way attack with us, directly threatening the safety of the Great Wall, and seriously crisis the northern Xinjiang suppression, then he will be able to coerce the Holy Lord and the center to compromise and make concessions, and even be able to prevent the Holy Lord and the center from launching the Third Eastern Crusade, and give Middle Earth at least a year to prepare for war, In this way, the three of us can not only share the results of this battle and grow quickly, but also help Middle-earth win more victories in the Civil War. But at the critical moment, King Qi was scared and retreated, how could it be reasonable! Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng, and Li Baiyao are also selfish, and the critical moment is not to kidnap the King of Qi and run wildly, but to have a trace of illusion about the Holy Lord like the King of Qi, which is stupid. ”

Li Zixiong's face was expressionless, and he could see that he was very angry, and he was very disappointed in King Qi, angry with him, and mourned his misfortune. Yuan An and Xiao Yi are frightened, Li Fengyun is not angry, and it is murderous and frightening, but the current problem cannot be solved, and countermeasures must be taken immediately, otherwise the situation will be controlled by Pei Shiju, and the fruits of victory will be snatched away by the Holy Lord and the center.

After a long time, Li Zixiong sighed and said gloomily, "From a certain point of view, the matter has come to this point, and you have no power to return to the sky by your personal strength." The lesson of the previous car and the teacher of the future, the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and the mutiny of Yang Xuangan, the bloody lesson, how can the Holy Lord and the Central Center allow themselves to repeat the mistakes of the past? Now that the Third Eastern Crusade is imperative, the Civil War is close at hand, the two capitals have turned against each other and fought hard, and local rebellions are intensifying one after another, in this bad situation, the King of Qi may become the second Han King at any time, and Li Hun and a certain may also become the second Yang Xuangan at any time, so whether it is for the safety of the Guozuo Emperor, or for the safety of Guanlong in Western Xinjiang, the threat of the fact that the King of Qi, Li Hun and a certain must be eradicated quickly and thoroughly, otherwise don't say that the Third Eastern Crusade may fall short, The Civil War had no chance of winning. ”

Li Fengyun, Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked cold and said nothing.

"Pei Shiju's decision represents the will of the Holy Lord and the center, and it cannot be changed." Li Zixiong continued, "In exchange for Anton's military power, and the premise that the Holy Lord and the Central Center agreed is that Pei Shiju and Cui Hongsheng and other stakeholders related to Anton must make a guarantee that Li Pingyuan will immediately eradicate the unforgivable rebellion of the White Thief, a certain and Han Shige after taking charge of Anton's military power, and at the same time, it is also necessary to guarantee that Anton and the forces with King Qi and Li Hun will immediately draw a line to ensure that the Holy Lord can successfully solve the two major hidden dangers of King Qi and Li Hun." If Li Pingyuan violates Yang Fengyin or delays and shirks, the victim is Pei Shiju, who is the Shandong magnate promoted by Cui Hong, and these are Li Pingyuan's supporting forces, and the Holy Lord's attack on them is equivalent to weakening Li Pingyuan, and the final result can be imagined, Li Pingyuan has no choice but to obey orders, otherwise he will be finished, not only all the previous efforts will be in vain, but even more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians will be buried for him. ”

Li Fengyun sneered, "The alliance is infighting, it is divided, and the Holy Lord has eradicated the scourge and taken down Anton without much effort, this is the result you are willing to see?" That's why you've struggled to survive until now? ”

Li Zixiong smiled, "Do you want to use your mantis arm as a car?" ”

"The future is uncertain." Li Dao, "The future is full of variables, and the superposition of many variables will inevitably change the direction of progress, just like going north to the fortress, did we ever expect today's results?" Therefore, even if the Holy Lord and the Central Divine Divine Genius plan and exhaust the last resort, there is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful or will definitely achieve the desired goal. ”

"Do you have a countermeasure?" Li Zixiong asked.

"Nope." Li Fengyun replied, "But I have the confidence to defeat my opponent." ”

Li Zixiong groaned a little and sighed, "If you want to defeat your opponent, you must abandon King Qi." King Qi is no longer a variable, but the biggest obstacle. ”

"Then abandon King Qi." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "But we must keep Li Hun, if we keep Li Hun, we can keep the Li clan of Chengji in Longxi, and if we keep the Li clan of Chengji in Longxi, it will also ensure that during the Great War of the North and South, the two capitals will temporarily put aside the struggle and unite with the outside world, otherwise the Great War between the North and the South will be defeated, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"You're wrong." Li Zixiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "For the Holy Lord and the Center, the biggest threat is not King Qi, but Li Hun, the Li clan of Longxi Chengji, and Xijing. ”

"So we must keep Li Hun." Li Dao, "In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Hun's threat to the Holy Lord is far less than that of King Qi, because Li Hun is far away in Andong, thousands of miles away from Longxi, and his foundation is in Longxi, and his strength is in the western frontier, so even if Li Hun wants to be the second Yang Xuangan, he is also powerless and beyond the reach of the whip, which provides convenience for us to keep Li Hun, of course, the premise is that Li Hun is aware of his danger and is willing to form an alliance with us to cooperate." ”

Li Zixiong thought for a moment and asked, "Did you make an appointment with Li Hun overnight?" ”

"Good!" Li Fengyun agreed, "The sooner the better." ”
