Li Fengyun's mood is also very heavy, and even a little panicked, the difficulty of the western expedition to the Central Plains is beyond his expectations, the situation of the righteous army today is very dangerous, it is difficult to ride a tiger, a dilemma, the slightest carelessness will cause the whole army to be annihilated, if you want to survive, you can only break the cauldron and sink the boat, overcome obstacles and thorns to move forward bravely, and fight a bloody road. This requires maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Rebel Alliance, and in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, it is necessary to concentrate military power in the Grand Governor's Office, which will inevitably touch the vital interests of the heroes of all walks of life, and will intensify the contradictions within the alliance and make the alliance fall into danger of collapse.
Although Li Fengyun has the intention of annexing others, the purpose of annexation is to strengthen himself, not to weaken himself, so this matter cannot be rushed, can only be done slowly, and the right time is needed, and now is obviously not the right time, for which Li Fengyun is also quite tricky, and deliberately came up with two sets of plans. If the commanders of all walks of life disregarded the actual situation and refused to cede military power, then they could only give up the western expedition in order to maintain the existence of the alliance.
As long as the alliance survives, as long as the rebels from all walks of life seek common ground while reserving differences, and always hold together, then even if the rebels are temporarily in trouble, they will not collapse and will soon be able to make a comeback. Li Fengyun firmly believed that the little wave he set off in Middle-earth would not change the direction of history at all, the Eastern Crusade would fail, and the emperor would soon launch the Second Eastern Crusade, and the Eastern Capital would have neither time nor enough troops to suppress thieves in Henan, Qilu and other places, and the Righteous Army Alliance would still have enough time to grow stronger.
However, except for Li Fengyun, there was no one in the Rebel Alliance who saw the future, and they believed that the Eastern Expedition would be victorious and the expeditionary force would return triumphantly, and their hearts were full of gloom, and they had neither confidence nor hope for the future. Based on this, Li Fengyun deduced that although the vicious shape in front of him was not suitable for seizing the military power of the heroes from all walks of life, it was a rare opportunity, and if he could grasp this opportunity, he might be able to achieve unexpected results.
The tent is silent and very quiet, but the atmosphere is very depressing, giving people a sense of suffocation that the mountain rain is coming, and the sultry weather not only makes people sweat profusely, but also makes people's feelings irritable.
"The chief manager has come up with two countermeasures, both of which can solve the immediate crisis, but I want to know, if the chief manager stands in our position, what choice will he make?"
Zhen Baoche took the lead and stood up on crutches, his eyes were cold and aggressive.
Li Fengyun smiled, raised his hand and pressed Zhen Baoche a few times, signaling him to be calm and sit down to talk.
Zhen Baoche ignored Li Fengyun and still stood lame.
"The general manager's countermeasures are suspected of taking advantage of people's danger." Huo Xiaohan, who had a short temperament, saw that Zhen Baoche was the first to be difficult, followed closely behind, and unceremoniously accused Li Fengyun, "There was a promise when a certain alliance was established, so why does the chief manager have to break his promise and break his word?" ”
Li Fengyun was not angry, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he looked like a bamboo in his chest, "Today, I came up with two countermeasures and let the brothers choose." According to the covenant, the important decisions in the alliance must win the support of the majority, and the minority must obey the majority. There is only one vote in the alliance's decision-making, so Zhen Shuai and Huo Shuai suspect that someone has ill intentions, which is unreasonable. Li Fengyun said in a calm tone and slowly, "We have made a bloody alliance and promised to resolutely abide by the covenant. All this time, he kept his word, never broke his covenant, and never hurt any brother. Then his face was slightly pale, and he glanced at Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan coldly, "I hope that all brothers will also keep their promises, and they will also obey the alliance's decision-making, and put the interests of the alliance first." ”
The atmosphere inside the tent was suddenly suffocated. Everyone heard the murderous spirit from Li Fengyun's words. Since the Western Expedition, the charge in front, the siege of the city is the cangtou army, and the north and south armies are followed by the two wings, a tough battle has not been fought, but the burning, killing and plundering has not been less, the number of captured booty and the expansion of the army has even exceeded the cangtou army. The reason why today's crisis of the alliance is so severe, and even threatens the survival of the alliance, is directly related to the reckless looting and expansion of various heroes. At this moment, it stands to reason that it should be Li Fengyun who is dissatisfied and angry, but he didn't expect Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan to beat him up, which not only angered Li Fengyun, but also caused the dissatisfaction of other heroes.
The interests of the alliance are paramount, especially at this moment, we must unite sincerely and unite as one, otherwise there will be a disaster of annihilation of the whole army, and I don't understand such a simple truth? If, for the sake of selfish interests, one insists on putting one's personal interests above the interests of the alliance, the result will be the target of public criticism and will be attacked by the entire alliance.
"Boss, considering the interests of the alliance, how would you choose?" Zhen Baoche was unmoved, and continued to question Li Fengyun.
"If you want to survive and grow, you can't give up the westward expedition, you can't lose the courage to move forward, and you can't lose the hearts of the people." Li Fengyun waved his hand lightly and said categorically, "So So-and-so's choice is very simple, concentrate the elite of each army to maintain the combat effectiveness of the alliance." As long as the alliance continues to win, all armies will continue to grow stronger, and as long as the interests of the alliance are preserved, the interests of everyone will be protected, and the relationship between the alliance and everyone will be one with both glory and loss. Of course, without the alliance, you brothers can survive and expand, but please brothers must face up to the reality that under the sharp knife, the fate of a bamboo chopstick and the fate of a bamboo chopstick are completely different. ”
"Chief, if the brothers' choices are not in line with your wishes, will you still keep your promise?" Huo Xiaohan asked sharply.
Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "A certain person said that the alliance's heavy decision is that the minority obeys the majority, and if the majority of brothers insist on giving up the western expedition, a certain can only accept it." However......" Li Fengyun looked at the people in the tent, his expression gradually became solemn, "A certain person has already analyzed and deduced in detail the consequences of giving up the western expedition just now. We are now withdrawing from the Central Plains, and although we can get rid of the immediate crisis, we have also lost all the gains in the early stage, and what awaits us is an even greater crisis. Of course, continuing the westward expedition, we are also greeted by a crisis, and we may not be able to achieve the expected results, and may even return with a big defeat, and the early results are also lost, but we have gained the hearts of the people, and the support of the general public for us can help us to make a comeback in the shortest possible time. On the contrary, if we lose the support of the people, we will completely lose the foundation for survival, and the future will be dark and hopeless. ”
Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan looked at each other and sneered, a trace of smugness flashed in their eyes, and finally forced Li Fengyun to be helpless, the minority obeyed the majority, and Li Fengyun's wishful thinking would definitely fail.
To put it bluntly, in this world of the jungle, it depends on strength, it is a fist, whoever has a big fist, who is strong, who is the boss, who is the winner. Whoever wins or loses, whoever wins, has the final say. Back then, when the five chaos were chaotic, and the northern captives burned, killed, and plundered the land of Middle-earth, where did the people's hearts come from? Don't people still claim to be kings and hegemons? Didn't the Xianbei Murong clan and the Tuoba clan both rule over most of Middle-earth? Therefore, Li Fengyun's emphasis on the will of the people at this time not only failed to convince him, but made people doubt his intentions even more.
"Have you thought about it, brothers?" Li Fengyun tapped lightly on the table and said, "If you think about it, raise your hand to vote." ”
"The shape is critical, time is tight, there are so many things we need to solve, there is no need to waste time here. If the brothers want to give up the western expedition, they will not object, and they will not have any complaints against everyone, after all, our strength is limited, if we can't hold together and work together, our strength will be even worse, and attacking Gyeonggi and plundering Tongji Canal is purely self-defeating. Besides, it's still early in winter, and even if the expeditionary force returns and wants to encircle and suppress us, it will be a few months away, and in this time, we can still find ways to grow stronger
Li Fengyun didn't say that it was okay, but after saying it, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed, and there was a little more weirdness in the tension.
Li Fengyun's original intention was to comfort everyone, even if he withdrew to Mengshan, it was not the end of the world, although he lost the hearts of the people and was pointed out by thousands of people, but the army was still there, and he just continued to work hard. However, when these words fell into the ears of the heroes, the meaning of the interpretation was completely different, in their opinion, this was a threat from Li Fengyun's anger.
In this western expedition, Li Fengyun and the Cangtou Army became famous, and the powerful Henan, coupled with the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain, won the hearts of the people, so the expansion of the Cangtou Army was the fastest, the largest number of recruits, and the source of troops was the best, it is safe to say that now Li Fengyun's strength has actually exceeded the sum of the strength of all the heroes here, even if the heroes join forces to fight against Li Fengyun, they may not be Li Fengyun's opponents. In this case, the alliance is no longer important to Li Fengyun, the alliance can give Li Fengyun less and less help, and Li Fengyun will pay more and more to the alliance.
What exactly is Li Fengyun's intention? If Li Fengyun's goal was to accept it as soon as he saw it, withdraw to Mengshan with an army of more than 20,000 people, and then put all the responsibility for the disbandment of the alliance on the marshals, and use this as an excuse to suddenly make trouble for the marshals, the result would be worse than now. Now accept Li Fengyun's strategy and cede some power to Li Fengyun, although his own interests will be lost in the short term, if the alliance is extended, his own interests will inevitably rise. Taking a step back, even if after this change, his independent position in the alliance has been severely weakened, but compared to the dissolution of the alliance, he was eaten by Li Fengyun, and I don't know how many times stronger
Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong, Shuai Rentai, and Xu Shiren are all scheming people, and after carefully weighing them, they feel that it is more secure to "tie" themselves with Li Fengyun with the help of the alliance, after all, the expeditionary force will come back in a few months, and if the rebel army fights separately at that time, it will inevitably be broken by the officers and soldiers, so the alliance cannot be dispersed, let alone lose Li Fengyun, the "leading brother".
The result of the vote gave Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan a blow to the head, and the two never thought that they would become the target of the alliance.
