"There's only one solution." Li Fengyun said bluntly, "Speed up the progress, arrive at Fuyu City as soon as possible, get food and grass replenishment from Fuyu City first, save the emergency first, and then try to make other plans." ”

There are too many people, especially those who eat more behind the army, although the food and grass are tight, and the marching degree is also greatly dragged down, this is the most unbearable thing for Li Fengyun, so he directly came up with countermeasures.

"The main army will go first, and the rest of the army will protect the huge baggage battalion, and then follow."

This countermeasure immediately won the unanimous consent of the top brass of the expeditionary force.

The three commanders of the expeditionary force first made a division of labor, Li Fengyun led the main force of the horse army to select the front, and rushed to Fuyu City; Li Hun led the main force of the infantry corps to the Chinese army, and marched eastward day and night; Li Zixiong was in charge of the rear army and the baggage battalion, and slowly followed.

At this time, Li Zixiong made a suggestion, considering that Andong's capital protectorate has been established, and the alliance army has also been reorganized into four border town garrison armies, although the expeditionary armies have not entered the ranks of reorganization, but this is a special exception in a special period, Anton in order to preserve his strength and disobey the yang and yin, and the eastern capital has to turn a blind eye for the third eastern crusade, and the two sides can be at peace in the short term, but after the end of the eastern crusade, the two sides will inevitably have disputes again, so it is better to make some preparations in advance.

What preparations should be made, Li Zixiong didn't say, he was secretive, but Li Fengyun understood it and immediately said, "Jianchang's public words are reasonable, but he is thoughtful and negligent." Taking advantage of these few days of rest, the expeditionary force has done some reorganization in a small area to facilitate command and conquest. ”

That night, Li Fengyun convened the generals and chieftains of all armies and tribes to discuss together, and after some discussion, drew up a reorganization plan.

The reorganization plan of the infantry corps is that the Tiger Army, the Fengyun Army, the Hussar Army, the Leopard Cavalry Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army will be expanded, and each army will have two armies under its jurisdiction, of which the left army of the Tiger Ben is the original Tiger Army, and the right army of the Tiger Ben is adapted from the first army of the alliance; The left army of Fengyun is the original Fengyun army, and the right army of Fengyun is adapted from the second army of the alliance; The left hussar army was the original hussar army, and the right hussar army was adapted from the third army of the alliance; The Left Army of the Leopard Cavalry was the original Leopard Cavalry, and the Right Army of the Leopard Cavalry was adapted from the 23rd Army of the Alliance; The left army of the Xiao cavalry is the original Xiao cavalry army, and the right army of the Xiao cavalry is adapted from the Anzhou army.

A new Scorching Army was formed, and the Fourth Army of the Alliance and the Fifth Army of the Alliance were changed to the Left Army of the Scorching Sun and the Right Army of the Scorching Sun respectively.

The reorganization plan of the Horse Legion was to reorganize the Thunder First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Armies into two armies, namely the Thunder Army and the Dragoon Army, each of which also had two armies under its jurisdiction.

The reorganization plan of the various tribes is that the five departments of the Xi nationality control the strings are reorganized into the Xi army, and the left and right armies are under the jurisdiction of the left and right armies, among which the Xi people's humiliation of the king department, the Mohefu department and the Mukun department control the strings for the left army of the Xi nationality, and the Ahui department and the Mude department control the strings for the right army of the Xi nationality; The nine Khitan divisions were reorganized into the Khitan Army, under the jurisdiction of the left and right armies, of which the Khitan out of the Fu Division, the Diera Department and the Yaolai Department controlled the strings for the Khitan Left Army, and the six tribes such as Kuli, Ao Han and Kolqin controlled the strings for the Khitan Right Army.

The Polo tribe, the Fire Red tribe and the Black Wolf tribe of the Hazard tribe formed an army of their own, called the Ha Army.

Ashinadur's Turkic control strings formed an army of its own, and its name was Changhe.

At the same time, the names of the 1st to 5th Armies of the Alliance, the 1st to 5th Armies of the Thunder, the 23rd Army of the Alliance, and the Anzhou Army were revoked.

On 14 March, the reorganization of the expeditionary force was completed, and Li Fengyun immediately issued an order to advance eastward.

Li Fengyun personally led about 20,000 horsemen such as the Thunder Horse Army, the Dragoon Horse Army, the Changba Army, the Xi Left Army, and the Khitan Left Army as the front and went out first.

Li Hun led about 40,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army, the Fengyun Army, the Hussar Army, the Japanese Army, the Leopard Cavalry, and the Feather Cavalry, and then followed up.

Li Zixiong led the Xiao cavalry army, the Xi right army, the Khitan right army, the Xi army, and a huge baggage battalion of more than 100,000 people, and walked slowly.

At the beginning of this month, the Holy Lord decided to go to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition for the third time.

This decision failed to win the support of the center, and many central ministers with Nayan Suwei as the leader strongly advised the Holy Lord to return to the Eastern Capital to preside over the overall situation, and not to put the cart before the horse, because of the small and the big, once the situation at home and abroad is out of control, and the enemy is on the back of the Middle Earth, the Holy Lord and the center will shoot themselves in the foot and reap the consequences.

Su Wei's exhortation was the most "sharp", he believed that the Eastern Crusade had been carried out here, the military and diplomatic goals had been achieved, and the continuation of the Third Eastern Crusade was nothing more than to save the political defeat, but as far as the current domestic and foreign situation was concerned, the political failure of the Eastern Capital had already manifested itself in the political break between the two capitals, which caused the central government not only to lose control of the local area, which led to the intensification of local rebellions, and the deterioration of the local situation, but also quickly weakened the deterrence of the Eastern and Western Turks, leading to the roar of the Civil War. The clouds of war have already loomed over the Great Wall, and the situation between the north and the south has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

So he advised the Holy Lord to rein in the precipice and not to go further and further down the wrong path.

Originally, the Holy Lord was supposed to return to the Eastern Capital in August last year, but the Holy Lord stayed in Gaoyang and missed the best opportunity to save the political crisis of the two capitals, although at the end of last year, the Holy Lord got the martial arts of the opening of Xinjiang and Anton, and barely made an excuse for his delay in returning to the Eastern Capital, but at the same time he also had to face the fact of the political rupture between the two capitals, and the serious consequences of the political rupture of the two capitals were really incomparable compared with the martial arts of the opening of the Xinjiang Andong and even the destruction of Goguryeo, and the disparity was too great to outweigh the losses.

Based on this point of view, Su Wei believed that the Holy Lord could launch the Third Crusade, and the center could compromise under the high pressure of the imperial power, but the Holy Lord did not need to drive the Third Imperial Expedition in person, what was the point of this? The martial arts of the victory of the Eastern Crusade must be the Holy Lord's, whether the Holy Lord is personally driving the expedition or presiding over the overall situation in the Eastern Capital, it cannot change this fact, in this case, why does the Holy Lord resolutely not return to the Eastern Capital? As a king, the interests of Middle-earth and Guozuo are paramount, and the harm to the interests of Middle-earth and Guozuo from an inconsequential foreign expedition and the deterioration of the situation at home and abroad cannot be weighed up. In times of crisis, is it possible to give priority to the crisis that is most beneficial to Middle-earth and Guozuo, and such a simple reason has been left behind?

Knowing that it is wrong, but still going down the wrong path and never looking back, why?

The Holy Lord is angry, hated the conservatives, a group of honest and shameless people, who want to be **** and set up an archway, shameless.

Is the deterioration of the situation at home and abroad to such a point due to the successive defeats on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade? Is it because the decision of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was wrong? Definitely not, Yang Xuangan's mutiny and chaos in the Eastern Capital were the direct cause of the defeat of the Second Eastern Crusade, so there was a political liquidation, and there was a "fierce attack" on the conservatives by the reformists, of which more than 30,000 people were implicated. The conservatives resolutely fought back, Xijing made a decisive move, so Guanzhong set off a tide of rebellion, and the rebellious Shamen Xiang Haiming actually opened the country and became emperor, and the two capitals went to a political break.

Is this the responsibility of the Holy Lord? The two capitals broke up because the Holy Lord and the Central Center had not returned to the Eastern Capital for a long time? How can this be justified, and if you want to add sin, why should you be in trouble?

Su Wei had ill intentions and forced the Holy Lord to return to Beijing in the name of righteousness, but in fact he threatened the Holy Lord with a political compromise under the threat of a break between the two capitals, and used the surging tide of rebellion in the country and the approaching Civil War to coerce the reformers to make concessions. Can the Holy Lord compromise? Can centralized reform be used as a bargaining chip in a political exchange? Can the core interests of the reunification of Middle-earth be sacrificed?

The Holy Lord and the reformers firmly believed in their own political ideals and believed that centralization was the only way to maintain the long-term unity of Middle-earth.

The Holy Lord refused to compromise, so he refused to accept the advice, and made a move that shocked the palace, and he drove all the admonitors back to Beijing. Since you want to go back to the Eastern Capital, then go back and solve my worries.

This would amount to an open split in the center. The consequences of the political rupture between the two capitals were already very serious, and the Holy Lord not only did not want to try to save it, but instead intensified and deliberately split the center, and the consequences were too serious to imagine.

What does the Holy Lord want to do? What are the plans of Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and other important ministers of the central reformers?

The next day, Nayan Suwei and about half of the central ministers and officials of the central provincial temple embarked on the road back to Beijing.

The Holy Lord took the palace and the Praetorian Guard to start the third royal expedition.

On March 14, the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace arrived at the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County.

That night, General Zuo Yiwei and Duan Da, the inspector of Zhuo County, visited the Holy Lord.

Duan Da explained to the Holy Lord in detail the situation of Youyan, especially Yanbei's suppression. After the king of Qi led his army to the east, the strength of Huaihuang's garrison weakened, and it was no longer able to form an effective containment of the Turks in the southeast Yaqi, so the situation was unfavorable to Anton.

As for Anton's side, considering that Anton's main expedition will be empty for a long time in the future, and the defensive strength will be weak, once the Turks will counterattack with all their strength and enter Anton, Anton will not only have the danger of gaining and losing, but Youzhou may also be attacked by the Turks.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the start of the Eastern Crusade, the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion undertook the heavy transfer of grain and grass, which is the most concerned thing for the Holy Lord.

After Duan Da finished playing, the Holy Lord pondered for a long time and asked Yu Shiji on the side of the attendant, "Is there any latest news from the tooth tent?" ”

Yu Shiji shook his head, "At present, the only person who protested to the east, threatened Anton, and personally negotiated with Anton, is Da Luo Ben Ashina Yishun, although he can represent Shibi Khan and the tooth tent, but it is related to Anton's belonging, and Ashina Yishun does not have the final decision-making power." ”

The Holy Lord sneered, "No news is good news. After Pei Daduhu negotiated with Ashina Yishun, what is his estimation of the position of the tooth tent? ”

Yu Shiji hesitated a little and replied, "Wen Xigong believes that the Western Turks will definitely attack the southern foot of Dajin Mountain this spring, and the desert will be attacked by the enemy on its back, and it is difficult to take care of the tail, so it can only give up Anton and concentrate on Dajin Mountain to block the Western Turks, so before the autumn comes, Anton's safety must be guaranteed, and if there is to be a change, it should also be in the autumn and winter, when the battle on the front line of Dajin Mountain is over, and the desert can free up his hands to counterattack Anton." ”

The Holy Lord frowned slightly, and then asked, "What is his prediction of the battle in Dajin Mountain?" ”

"It's not optimistic." Yu Shiji replied without thinking.

"Why?"
