After thinking about it, Li Zixiong estimated that it was directly related to the power asymmetry between the various forces of the left-behind legion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Fengyun took the main force away, and the descendants of the alliance governor's mansion only left the four armies led by the Xiao cavalry army and the right commander, Huo Xiaohan, even if Li Min and Niu Jinda's 23rd army of the alliance are counted, there are only six armies in the full battle, and there are eight armies in the front and rear governors of Hebei Haoshuai, plus Qilu Haoshuai Wang Bo has a good relationship with Hebei Haoshuai Hao Xiaode, Sun Xuanya and others, in this case, purely in terms of strength, the Grand Governor's Mansion is already difficult to control the heroes, and even in danger of losing the supreme command, Therefore, Li Fengyun naturally wanted to conceal the decision of the independent development of the two armies, so as to give the Great Governor's Mansion who knew the inside situation time to reverse the unfavorable situation, and took advantage of the opportunity of Hebei Haoshuai to pull Wang Bo and other Qilu Haoshuai over first, so as to ensure the authority of the Grand Governor's Mansion and ensure the unity within the Alliance's left-behind legions. When the news of Li Fengyun's victory came, the situation would change rapidly, and it would soon become impossible for the two armies to meet, and the Hebei marshals realized that it would be difficult to seize power and control the alliance. In this way, Li Fengyun's east-west echo and two-way development strategy can be implemented smoothly.

No matter how big Li Fengyun's ambition is, and no matter how far-reaching his layout is, it is all a matter of the future, it is uncertain, and it is all based on strong strength, so now and even for a long time in the future, Li Fengyun will hold high the "banner" of King Qi and develop and grow with the help of King Qi's protection, and King Qi's eyes are bright and he knows it, how can he let Li Fengyun take advantage of him? In fact, if the king of Qi wants to gain a foothold in northern Xinjiang and develop, he must also control the alliance legions, otherwise once the whole army of Erli is wiped out of the fortress, the left-behind legions will fall apart immediately. From this, it is not difficult to speculate that the king of Qi must take advantage of the opportunity of the flying fox to go north to buy and win over the alliance commanders, and do his best to control the remaining legions before the results of the second Li out of the fortress battle, which is equivalent to picking the "peaches" planted by Li Fengyun, and Li Fengyun has nothing to say, after all, the alliance is nominally one of the forces of the king of Qi, and the "peaches" planted by Li Fengyun can be picked by the king of Qi, and Li Fengyun is dumb and eats the yellow lotus, and he can't say anything about his suffering, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood. In this way, Li Fengyun's layout failed, and he didn't take advantage of King Qi, but he was eaten by King Qi in one bite, which shows that the risk of seeking skin with the tiger is still too great. Li Fengyun's ambition was frustrated, so he could only continue to lie dormant and submit to the king of Qi, and in the end, the king of Qi reaped the benefits and had the last laugh.

The reality of this crisis can be seen, King Qi took the initiative to ask to go north through the Flying Fox, so he secretly "robbed" Li Fengyun. Therefore, he deliberately concealed the decision of "independent development of the two routes", and deliberately misled the left-behind heroes to make the wrong conclusion that the two armies would inevitably join forces after the successful operation out of the fortress, so that when the king of Qi bought and co-opted the left-behind heroes and revealed the purpose of controlling the left-behind troops for their own use, the left-behind heroes had a choice, and they had to weigh the pros and cons, and they would not make a hasty decision under duress, and they would wait for the results of the battle. As soon as the result came out, the situation changed greatly, from the Holy Lord and the center, down to the King of Qi, Duan Da and Youyan Haomen, in order to prevent Li Fengyun from getting out of control and endangering the security of northern Xinjiang, it was inevitable to prevent the two armies of the alliance from meeting. But the situation has developed to this point, the alliance "East and West echo, two ways of development" has become a trend, the King of Qi wants to control the left-behind legions is impossible, the left-behind heroes will definitely take advantage of the good situation to maximize benefits, to cooperate to win the protection of the King of Qi, with the protection of the King of Qi to develop and grow. is still the same sentence, fate must be in your own hands, this is very clear to the heroes, Li Fengyun's repeated indoctrination has been effective.

Li Zixiong figured out the key point and couldn't help but secretly admire. Li Fengyun's mind is too cautious, interlocking, and exhaustive, so it is rare to be so intelligent. This is a talent, not limited by age and experience, and it is not okay to accept it. This is associated with Li Fengyun's brothers outside the Saiwai, the careful deployment outside the Saiwai, and the painstaking management in the wilderness for many years, if these are all for today's battles out of the Saiwai, all for the dream of the future king, then Li Fengyun is a genius in the sky, and has the potential to be the overlord of one side, and the king of Qi is not his opponent at all, but can only be a tool for Li Fengyun's rise. Judging from Li Fengyun's inference that "there is almost no chance of winning the Civil War", Li Fengyun has already sentenced the King of Qi to the "death penalty", and the future of the King of Qi is tied to the victory or defeat of the Civil War, and if the Civil War is lost, the political life of the King of Qi will be over, there is no doubt about this, so of course Li Fengyun has to squeeze out the value of the King of Qi in a limited time, so that after the war, in the unfavorable situation without the protection of the King of Qi, he will continue to pursue the dream of separating the throne and becoming hegemonic.

Li Zixiong's mood became heavy as a result. For him, the political life of King Qi is not important, what matters is the victory or defeat of the Civil War, Middle-earth only wins the Civil War, and those who participate in the war have meritorious service, he can exchange meritorious service for fame and fortune, and can shade his descendants, but now Li Fengyun's inference has shattered his illusions, and he has to accept the cruel reality, and the reality is that it is indeed difficult for Middle-earth to win the Civil War, so he must make preparations with both hands, what if the Civil War is lost? What if the path to self-salvation is cut off?

At this moment, Li Fengyun's voice sounded again, "Okay, everything that should be said is clear, if there are still doubts, it means that so-and-so can't say clearly, and there are many reasons why so-and-so can't be clear, the most important reason is that the future is unknowable." Our self-confidence does not mean that we can be invincible, our recovery of Anju does not mean that we can gain a foothold in Cyprus, and our prediction of the future does not mean that our plans can be fully realized. ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals suddenly understood.

Although Li Fengyun's words contain puns, the meaning is still very straightforward, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it. What should be said clearly has been made clear, that is, the possibility of the two armies meeting after the recovery of Anzhou is very small, and the reasons for not meeting are many, and the generals can more or less think of or guess some of them, and there is no need for Li Fengyun to repeat them. Since the rendezvous is very difficult and risky, it will simply not be united, and the idea of rendezvous will be resolutely abandoned, and each will develop independently, so as to form a trend of "echoing and supporting each other", so that it can seize the opportunity from the danger, and once there is the favor of God, the two armies have developed and grown inside and outside the Great Wall, then the situation will be beneficial to the alliance, and the future is promising.

The tense and solemn atmosphere in the tent gradually eased. At this point, the generals of the alliance have a clearer and more correct interpretation of the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition is to fight for their own survival, is to fight for their own development and growth, is to fight for their own future, the so-called reconquest of lost territory, defending the country are "virtual", the real purpose is one, the alliance wants to dominate according to the northern Xinjiang, to play its own entropy world, to always firmly control their own destiny, for which the morale of the generals is greatly boosted, and their confidence is doubled. They have been fighting for themselves all along, they don't want to be other people's pawns, and they don't want to shed blood, sweat or even sacrifice their lives to make wedding dresses for others.

However, the feelings of Li Zixiong, Han Shige and Zhou Zhong and other magnates are completely opposite, they feel the crisis, they perceive that the "direction" of the alliance is contrary to their expected goals, they want to win the "rebirth" politically through meritorious service, while Li Fengyun wants to challenge and confront the central authoritarianism, these are two diametrically opposed paths, but it is difficult to think about it again when they get on the thief ship, and now they have no choice, they must fight side by side with Li Fengyun, they must use the power of the alliance to recover Anzhou, to fight the Civil War, to make meritorious contributions, To win the opportunity to exchange merit for "rebirth", there is no other way than this. In other words, they can't control their own destiny, since they got on Li Fengyun's "thief ship", their fate has been controlled by Li Fengyun, and they can only follow Li Fengyun all the way to the black, unless they leave Li Fengyun and develop independently, but how can they be independent? Whether it is relying on the "big banner" of King Qi or relying on the power of Pei Shiju, it is inseparable from Li Fengyun, a key figure.

But Li's right, the future is unknowable, the variables are too big, you can only take one step at a time, improvise, and need luck, need the favor of God, if you want to achieve the goal, the right time and place are as indispensable as people, now think too much, worry about this and worry about that is meaningless, but shackled yourself, looking forward and backward and timid, what can you do?

"Having said it, it's time to get down to business, let's get back to the topic of today's military discussion." Li Fengyun waved his hand and said with a smile, "The theme of today's military discussion is the Northern Expedition, that is, the army, grain and grass, weapons, marching routes, attack strategies, and so on. Let's start with the issue of the military. The Northern Expedition had 10 armies and about 40,000 officers and men, and in order to facilitate command, some adjustments had to be made in the organization. ”

"Before, a certain and Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) drew up a plan for the whole army, and now I will briefly explain it, please consider and discuss."

The Great Governor's Office is the headquarters of the Northern Expedition, which is led by Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and commands all the armies of the Northern Expedition in a unified manner.

The Great Governor's Office has ten armies, namely the Tiger Army, the Fengyun Army, the Hussar Army and the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Armies of the Alliance. Zhou Zhong's army was reorganized into the Feather Cavalry Army, Zhou Zhong was the head of the Feather Cavalry, and Lai Yuan was the deputy commander.

Zhen Baoche, the head of Hu Ben, stayed behind in the flying fox, so Guo Ming served as the head of the Hu Ben army, and Zhang Xiang was the deputy head of Hu Ben. Zhong Xin, Cao Kun, Yue Gao, Hai Dongqing, and Nan Yutang, the commanders of the first to fifth armies of the alliance, were all promoted to commanders.

The commander of the Northern Expedition was led by Li Fengyun, and the Tiger Army, the Fengyun Army and the Hussar Army were under its jurisdiction.

The commander of the Left Route Army of the Northern Expedition was appointed by the commander-in-chief Xiahou Zhe, and the first, second and third armies of the alliance were under his command. The commander of the Middle Route Army was concurrently served by Li Zixiong, and he was under the command of Han Shige's Leopard Cavalry. The commander of the Right Route Army was Zhou Zhong, the commander-in-chief, and had jurisdiction over the Feather Cavalry Army, the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army of the Alliance.

In this army reorganization plan, the focus is on the reorganization of Han Shige and Zhou Zhong's army, so after Li Fengyun finished explaining, he first consulted Han Shige and Zhou Zhong's opinions.

"There is an objection." Han Shige said unceremoniously.
