October 23rd, night, Anzhou, ghost side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mutai Village, the headquarters of the alliance, is brightly lit and the atmosphere is tense.

Yuan An stood in front of the map, and while making marks, he explained to Li Fengyun the current location of each army, "Guo Ming commanded the Huben Army, the Thunder Second Army, the Mohefu Department and the Anzhou Army to attack Donghu Shu, pretending to cut off the enemy's retreat and attract and contain the enemy's attention; Lu Xingxing commanded the Hussars, the Second Army of the Alliance, the First Army of the Thunder and the Humiliation of the King's Department, and had made a detour to the north of the battlefield, and the camera was in response to the ghost city; Xiahou Zhe commanded the Fifth Army of the Alliance, the Ahui Division, the Mukun Division, and the Murod Division, and had entered the southern part of the battlefield, detouring back to the enemy's flank to give strong support to Guo Ming's troops who were attacking Donghushu; Tomorrow, after the army in the ghost city is rested, Zhong Xin will command the alliance's first army, the fourth army, the thunder third army and part of the humiliating king's troops to control the strings, attack out of the city, and launch a fierce counterattack against the enemy. ”

Li Fengyun bowed slightly, turned his head to look at Xu Shisan, Li Mengwei and Murong Zhili who were standing beside him, and asked with a smile, "Guess what, what is Ashina going to do now?" Do you evacuate quickly, or rely on your strong strength to fight me and kill flesh and blood? ”

Xu Shisan, as always, looked cold and did not say a word.

Li Meng said without thinking, "Since Ashina is here, the labor division is moving, and the momentum is violent, of course, there must be something to gain, and he will not return in vain, especially when the two armies are facing each other, he will not show weakness first, turn around and leave, which will be both humiliating and damaging his prestige, and it will not do him any good, but if the two sides fight, they will definitely lose both, and the result of both defeats will be very unfavorable to him, and the hope of taking the ghost city is extremely slim, if you pay a heavy price but get nothing, this situation will be very embarrassing, so I think, It is very likely that Ashina will rely on his strong strength to confront me in a stalemate, delay it for a while, patiently watch the development of the situation, and then evacuate once it is impossible to do anything, so that it is easy to explain to both the upper and lower levels. ”

Li Fengyun looked at Murong Zhili. Murong Zhili was injured and had difficulty moving, but he resolutely refused to stay in Fangcheng and insisted on accompanying the army to the north. Li Fengyun appreciated it and agreed, but he was not allowed to go to the battlefield to fight again, so as not to have an accident and not be able to communicate to the Murong clan in Liaodong.

"I also think that Ashina is going to make a delay, after all, with his strength, he has no worries about advancing and retreating, unless the Great Wall sends troops to support, otherwise we don't want to eat him, and it is very difficult to even fight with him." Murong Zhili said very tactfully, but to the point, with the fragility of the alliance between the two surnames within the Grand Alliance, it is simply in vain, and it is useless, if you really fight with the Turks who are holding together, and sacrifice your life, the first to collapse is the Grand Alliance itself.

"You're right, if you really have to sacrifice your life to fight, it doesn't have to be a lose-lose situation." Li Fengyun agreed, "Our own shortcomings are obvious, we seem to have an advantage, but in fact we are not able to fight." Speaking of this, he looked at Yuan An, who was frowning and contemplative, and then looked at Li Mengwei and Murong Zhili, "The disadvantages that we can see, the Turks can definitely see as well, in that case, why do you conclude that the Turks do not dare to fight to the death?" ”

"Because of this trap under the ghost city." Li Mengwei said, "The Turks misjudged the situation in Anzhou, and as a result, they accidentally fell into this trap, although this trap could not kill them, but the lesson was very profound, making them realize that they had lost control of the situation in Anzhou, and everything could happen, including the fact that a large number of troops in the Great Wall may have entered the ghost battlefield, and in order to reduce the risk of this battle, it is necessary to be conservative in decision-making to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Could it be that Ming Gong wants the Turks to take the initiative to attack?" Murong Zhili asked rhetorically, "Could it be that in the eyes of Ming Gong, the purpose of the Turks sending troops to Anzhou is to fight us to the death?" ”

Li Fengyun smiled. Murong Zhili's words are a good question, Ashina's purpose in sending troops to Anzhou is certainly not to fight to the death with the opponent, so in the current situation, of course, it is impossible to fight back, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred of himself.

"We don't have time, we can't stand in a stalemate with the Turks, we have to attack. The Turks don't want to fight to the death, I just want to fight a decisive battle with them, and the Turks don't want to lose both, I just want to lose both. Li Fengyun waved his hand and said in a firm tone, "Pass the order, recuperate tonight, attack on all fronts tomorrow, and surround and kill on all sides."

October 24, Anzhou, Panlong Fort.

Li Zixiong received an urgent letter from Gubeikou, and he had important matters to discuss, so he met immediately.

In the past few days, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao have been anxious, worried, and unable to sleep. The ghost side is at war, and the Gubeikou side is still fruitless, how can the two of them not be in a hurry? Li Fengyun is a demon, there are too many loyal and supportive people in the alliance, he said that the northern expedition is weak Luoshui, and even the Xi tribes who have just surrendered are willing to follow, it is conceivable that the plan of the northern expedition is unstoppable, they must have some results on the side of Gubeikou, even if the center does not support it, they must use the few political resources they have at their disposal, and do their best to win more support.

Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao were nervous, and Pegasus rushed to the border city. The materials here have piled up, and at the same time, the security has become more and more stringent, both sides of the Great Wall and the wealthy families of Youyan have sent elite forces to guard day and night, trying to hide the truth, even if they want to cover up and steal the bell, but what should be done has to be done, and no one can be given a handle.

Wu Benlang brought Zhao Shizhu, the town general Guo Xuan, and the deputy town Murong Zhengze together, with a serious expression and no joy. Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao looked at each other, their hearts were heavy, and they felt ominous.

"Ming Gong, there is good news and bad news." Zhao Shizhu went straight to the point and said bluntly, "Which one does Ming Gong want to listen to?" ”

Li Zixiong stroked his beard and smiled, "Let's talk about the good news first." ”

"The Holy Lord is urgent." Zhao Shizhu did not hide it, and immediately told the content of the Holy Lord's edict in detail.

The Holy Lord and the Central Committee support Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui, and in order to increase the chances of victory, the Liaodong Zhenjun Army will openly intervene in the northeast battlefield and give tacit cooperation.

Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao were overjoyed, but the ominous premonition in their hearts was also strong. Since pie has fallen from the sky, the price is great. The Holy Lord and the Central Hub have given such huge support to Anzhou, presumably in order to seek greater benefits in the Northeast Battlefield, and does Anzhou currently have the strength to seek the necessary benefits for Middle-earth? The answer is clearly no. With Anzhou's current strength, it is still possible to attack the enemy unpreparedly and win a short-term partial victory, but when the Turks react and the troops press the border, Anzhou will not work, unless Middle-earth is determined to tear its face with the Turks, launch a civil war in advance, and directly intervene with troops, otherwise the fruits of the early victory will be lost.

Regarding the hidden mystery behind the Liaodong Zhen's army's public intervention in the Northeast Battlefield, the veteran Li Zixiong understood it as soon as he heard it, but Yang Gongdao was a little puzzled and asked, "In what way will the Liaodong Zhenjun Army openly intervene in the Northeast Battlefield?" ”

Zhao Shizhu smiled slightly and made an explanation, in the early stage, it was an excuse for the Khitans to form an alliance with Goguryeo to fight against Middle-earth and send troops to fight the Khitan, and in the later stage, in the name of killing traitors, he cooperated with the alliance army on both sides of the weak Luoshui.

Yang Gongdao was a little disappointed, this was quite different from his conjecture, it was obvious that the center still wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and still did not admit and accept the meaning of "traitor". If you want the horses to run, and you want the horses not to eat grass, this is the rhythm of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and killing the rabbit and the dog.

"So, what's the bad news?" Li Zixiong asked.

Zhao Shizhu, Guo Xuan, and Murong Zhengze looked at each other, and a shadow flashed in their eyes.

"The support of the center this time is very strong, but there is only one condition, and the purpose of putting forward this condition is also goodwill, which is to rapidly increase the strength of Anzhou to maintain the results of the Northeast War." Zhao Shizhu said earnestly.

Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao smiled suddenly, and they all thought of a possibility.

"Say." Li Zixiong stretched out his hand to ask.

"Withdraw all the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou." Zhao Shizhu said word by word, "It must be completed before the end of the year, and there is no room for negotiation." ”

Li Zixiong smiled, very helpless. Yang Gongdao's face was ugly.

The Flying Fox Rebels are Li Fengyun's "reverse scales", and this matter is not negotiable at all. There was a dispute between the two sides over this matter before, Duan Dana threatened the alliance with the Flying Fox rebels, Li Fengyun ignored it, and would rather not support than compromise, and then the Holy Lord made it clear that supporting Anzhou and encircling and suppressing the Flying Fox are two different things, so there is room for maneuver. Now that the old thing is brought up again, everything is back to square one, something must have happened in the middle, or someone is making trouble and stabbing a knife in the back.

"The Holy Lord said that supporting Anzhou and encircling and suppressing the Flying Fox are two different things, everyone knows it, why did he go back on his word and change his mind again?" Yang Gongdao questioned angrily, "Is there someone who is doing it behind his back again?" ”

Zhao Shizhu shook his head and sighed, "The Holy Lord and the Central Lord's consideration is still very thorough, for a period of time in the future, you will fight alone against the Turks on your own, and if you don't have enough strength, how can you support it?" And how to keep the results of the Northeast War? Knowing that you can't defeat the Turks and keep the results of the Northeast War, who will do this kind of thing? ”

"This matter has been made very clear by both sides before, and there is no room for concession from each other, so it will be shelved." Li Zixiong was very angry and asked sharply, "In this case, can a certain person do it immediately, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have actually refused to support Anzhou." ”

"Ming Gong misunderstood." Guo Xuan sighed, "The inside story of this matter is quite complicated, and the reason why I took it out again as a quid pro quo is because of ......"

Guo Xuan wanted to speak and stopped. Li Zixiong was impatient and asked loudly, "What is the reason?" ”

Zhao Shizhu and Murong Zhengze were also very curious, they didn't know what inside information Guo Xuan had, and they also persuaded, "Since you open your mouth, why bother to spit out?" ”

"Is there a Kyoto secret involved?" Yang Gongdao also asked curiously.

"This matter is still confidential for the time being, but it will spread soon, and it doesn't hurt to say it at this time." Guo Xuan looked at everyone and said cautiously, "After the princes hear it, don't pass it on again, it's better to be careful." ”

"Say it, say it!" Li Zixiong urged.

Guo Xuan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Exact news, not only are thieves rampant in Jiangnan, but there are also traitors who have founded the country and become emperors. ”

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
