August 28, early in the morning, Yanbei, falling outside the city. Biquge www.biquge.info*/

Li Zi received a letter from the Yin World Master, and after a little weighing, he urgently reported to Li Fengyun to ask for his opinion on whether to talk before the Yin World Master at the invitation of the Yin World Master.

Li Zixiong was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the Yin Shi Shishi, although the Yin Shi Shi had already explained in the letter that he had been transferred from the commander of the Xiaoguo Army to the deputy guard of Zhuo County, and retained his military position, the implication was that he was deeply trusted by the Holy Lord, and undertook the heavy responsibility of suppressing Youyan, and fully implemented the decision made by the Holy Lord and the center to "kill people with a knife" to consolidate and strengthen the security of northern Xinjiang, but because of this, Li Zixiong had an ominous premonition.

Before the implementation of the sword killing plan on behalf of the Holy Lord and the center, it was Zhuo County who stayed behind Duan Da, and Li Zixiong has also been secretly negotiating with Duan Da, but now the Holy Lord and the Center are changing generals in battle, with Xiaoguo Commander Yin Shishi as Zhuo County's deputy left behind to guard Yanbei, and the Yin World Master replaces Duan Da to implement the sword killing plan, the meaning of this is self-evident, the Holy Lord and the Center lack confidence in Duan Da, thinking that Duan Da is difficult to support alone, so he transferred the Yin Shi to Youyan to help him, and from the Yin Shi Division with a military position and leading Zhuo County Deputy Guard, The Holy Lord and the Central Committee trusted the Yin World Master more, or thought that the Yin World Master was more capable than Duan Da, and instead handed over all the major decisions such as stabilizing the situation in Yanbei, monitoring and containing the King of Qi, and driving the rebels out of the fortress to kill people with a knife.

The Holy Lord and the Central Pivot trust the Yin World Master, which does not mean that Li Zixiong and the Alliance also believe in the Yin World Master, besides, Li Zixiong and Duan Da have negotiated four times, they are familiar with each other, and many details have also reached an agreement, now that the Yin World Master is here, Li Zixiong is facing a new opponent, many details have to be renegotiated or even overturned, which is bound to waste time, and what the alliance Northern Expedition army lacks most now is time, time is life for them.

Therefore, Li Zixiong did not have the willingness to accept the invitation of the Yin Shishi to negotiate with him, in comparison, he would rather cooperate with Zhao Shizhu, the commander of the Yanbei Zhenjun Army, Wu Benlang.

Li Zixiong and Zhao Shizhu are both from the Longxi family, the relationship between the two families is not bad, Li Zixiong once took care of Zhao Shizhu in his career, and Zhao Shizhu has always treated Li Zixiong respectfully with his nephew, which is also one of the reasons why Zhao Shizhu finally compromised and launched tacit "cooperation" with the alliance.

Of course, Zhao Shi's stay in Yanbei was only two months, and he did not have too many interest entanglements with the local forces of all sizes in Yanbei, and his control over Yanbei was not large, and it was difficult to meet the support requirements of the alliance for the battle. At this time, Li Fengyun took the initiative to mention one person, that is, Huaihuang Town will break the Six Han Maha, as long as Zhao Shizhu can persuade this person to cooperate with the alliance, many problems will be solved.

Poliu Han Maha is the largest "head snake" in Yanbei, with hands and eyes to the sky, and has deep connections in both the military and political circles of Yanbei, and travels in black and white, and also has secret contacts with the captives outside the Saibei, and such a Yanbei "head snake" cooperation, not only can the alliance get the support of grain and grass weapons before leaving the fortress, and even after leaving the fortress, it can also get information support, which is too helpful for the alliance to fight out of the fortress.

Breaking the Six Han Maha is an unexpected "surprise" for the alliance, before Li Zixiong and the alliance marshals knew little or nothing about it, only Li Fengyun knew him, so when Li Fengyun mentioned the person who broke the six Han Maha and said that this person could provide help to the alliance, Li Zixiong and the alliance marshals really strengthened their confidence in the Northern Expedition, not because Li Fengyun's strategy was interlocking and there was no last resort, but Li Fengyun used facts to prove that he was indeed "fighting at home" inside and outside the Great Wall, and had an advantage that others could not reach. If it wins the cooperation of Huaihuang Town, the general of the six Han Maha will be broken, and the alliance will cooperate tacitly with the largest "land snake" in Yanbei, and join forces inside and outside, even without the support of King Qi and Duan Da, the alliance's northern expeditionary army can also get the best support, and the alliance's remaining legions can also gain a foothold in Yanbei to develop.

Zhao Shizhu agreed, he may not dare to promise anything else, but this matter is too simple for him, because so far, the cooperation between him and the Broken Six Han Maha is very pleasant, and the alliance out of the fortress will definitely reduce the loss of the interests of the Broken Six Han Maha in addition, if the battle out of the fortress goes well, the Turks are losing and retreating, and the Northern Captives outside the Saiwai are hit, the greater and more urgent the demand for strategic materials, and this will inevitably bring rich benefits to the Broken Six Han Maha and other local forces in Yanbei, so it is certain, Under the temptation of huge interests, Po Liuhan Maha will definitely do his best to "help" the alliance to fight as quickly as possible.

The Yin World Master is a newcomer, and Zhao Shizhu can't solve it, can he solve it? Of course he can't do it, although in the past he has followed his father Yin Shou to fight against Youyan, and even fought with the captives outside the Saiwai? It's been a thing of the past, it's been a long time, and it's been a long time. Taking a step back, even if the Yin World Master can still use the good relationship and the favor left by the father and son in Youyan in the past to quickly control Yanbei, but that takes time, and now the Yin World Master is still black-eyed, except for the official hat on his head, the resources of Yanbei that he can mobilize are very limited. In this case, what reason does Li Zixiong have to accept the invitation of the Yin World Master to negotiate with him? It's a waste of time.

Soon, Li Fengyun replied.

Li Fengyun's goal today is Ji Mingjin. Jimingjin is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of Yanshui, only more than 30 miles away from Guangning, the largest city in Yanbei at the confluence of Yanshui and Sangganshui. Guangning used to be the capital of Yanzhou, and now Youyan is merged, so it becomes the Yanbei Mansion of Zhuo County, that is, the location of the deputy government office of Zhuo County, and it is also the only official market in Yanbei. However, Li Fengyun had no intention of plundering Quang Ninh, and his goal was to capture Jimingjin, cross Yuyanshui, and then go north to the Great Wall.

From the perspective of the entire Yanbei war situation, Li Fengyun led the Xuanfeng army to Guangning, which was to cut off Zhao Shizhu's way to retreat into Guangning City, so today Zhao Shizhu had to cooperate with the alliance army to break through in the direction of Guangning first, and then retreated from Jimingjin to Yanshui and retreat in the direction of the Great Wall. Li Zixiong's task is to "encircle" Zhao Shizhu, strive to arrive at Jimingjin at dusk today, and cross the river to the north overnight.

In addition, last night, the scouts detected that a Weifu army had entered the Antler Post from the west of Huairong, and there was an intention to outflank it and cut off the alliance army from retreating to Qiyishui. This army was not a large force, about four or five regiments, at most one Eagle Yang Province, and it was not a threat to the main force of the alliance to the north, but it was an obstacle to the third army of the alliance, which was rapidly catching up with the main force. Of course, this obstacle is impossible to stop the third army of the alliance from moving north, but Li Fengyun does not want to see the third army and this army have a fierce battle, and the size of the loss is secondary, he is afraid that Yue Gao, the commander of the third army, will completely annihilate this army in a fit of anger, then the matter will be complicated, whether it is Zhao Shizhu or the Yin Shishi, they will not be able to explain to the holy lord and the center, once the two of them are angry and attack, go back on their word, and have a black hand behind their backs, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the alliance's outward operation. For this reason, Li Fengyun had already sent a letter to Yue Gao, asking him to act at the opportune moment, and Li Zixiong also ordered the broken Lai Yuan to slow down his advance a little and carefully probe the movements of the enemy troops in the direction of the Antler Post in order to find a solution.

This is actually a thorn stuck in the throat, like a fish in the throat, which makes the alliance very uncomfortable and difficult. Li Fengyun was also at a loss, and it happened that Li Zixiong said that the Yin Shishi arrived in Yanbei as the deputy left-behind guard of Zhuo County, and invited him to talk. Li Fengyun immediately thought that the maker of this "thorn" was the Yin World Division, although the purpose of the Yin World Division may be to contain the alliance army and give Zhao Shizhu a chance to break through, but he had no intention of inserting willows and willows, but the third army of the alliance had not yet crossed the Sanggan River, and the army he deployed was just blocking the way of the third army of the alliance to the north, and there was a danger of annihilation, which was equivalent to inserting a thorn in the throat of the alliance. For this reason, Li Fengyun suggested that Li Zixiong should talk to each other and touch the bottom of the Yin Shishi, maybe he can pull out this "thorn" and ensure that the army can get out of the jam smoothly.

On the morning of August 28, Li Zixiong and Yin Shishi had a secret meeting in a river valley outside the city.

Li Zixiong is one of the masterminds of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, openly betraying the Holy Lord, openly confronting the central government, and committing a heinous crime. The Yin Shishi is very loyal to Guozuo and the Holy Lord, and he is very upright, which causes him to hate and hate Li Zixiong very much for the rebellious, and after meeting him, he is very indifferent, very arrogant, his face is like frost, and his momentum is compelling.

Li Zixiong didn't care, got straight to the point, and asked directly, how much power do you have in Yanbei? Can you represent Duan Da with full powers? Is your decision the same as Duan Da's decision, or the decision of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion?

Yin Shishi gave a positive reply, and the decision of a certain is Duan Da's decision, which is the decision of Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion.

Li Zixiong asked again, "You served as the deputy guard of Zhuo County and suppressed Yanbei, is it the decision of the Holy Lord, or is there something else?" ”

As soon as the Yin Shishi heard it, he knew that Li Zixiong didn't believe him, so he said decisively, "Xiangyuan Gong (Duan Da) strongly recommended him, and a certain also accepted his invitation. ”

Li Zixiong knew that Yin Shishi and Duan Da were world friends and had a close relationship, but it was unknown to what extent they were close. Now the Yin World Master told him that Duan Da and I are brothers, brothers in a pair of pants, which is actually telling Li Zixiong that I know everything, you have to believe me, you have to cooperate with me.

Li Zixiong had a bottom in his heart, stroked his beard and smiled, "Since you can replace Duan Da and take the initiative to invite you, then I have to ask, has XX's request been met?" ”

"As you wish." The Yin World Master said bluntly, "The Holy Lord has issued an edict asking the King of Qi to go north to patrol the border. Then his tone suddenly became cold, "Now that your requirements have been met, should you fulfill your promise?" ”
