Li Fengyun's decision to cross the river to the north was questioned and opposed by the marshals.

What was the purpose of crossing the river north? If it is a captivity, the people of Henan will "cross the line", and they will inevitably have a fierce conflict with Hebei life, and they are purely looking for trouble. If it is to confuse the situation in Hebei and exacerbate the crisis in Hebei, is this goal also the goal of Hebei people? Did the people of Hebei turn to the alliance for help? If the people of Hebei have no intention of aggravating the crisis in Hebei and have not asked the alliance for help, then Li Fengyun is wishful thinking, and there will be trouble after the army goes north

Li Fengyun patiently analyzed and explained.

With the current situation in Qilu, if the alliance wants to occupy the southwest of Lu and grow, it must defeat Zhang Xutuo, the main force of the rebellion in the Qilu region, and his army, but the power of the alliance cannot defeat Zhang Xutuo alone, and the northeast Lu rebel army is a plate of scattered sand, and Wang Bo, who lives in Hebei, must be brought back in order to unite the northeastern Lu rebel army as a whole, and Wang Bo's strength is weak, if he wants to return to Qilu, he must get the help of the Hebei people.

However, all the righteous armies in Hebei are now fighting with the official army on the front line of Yongji Canal, and it is impossible to help Wang Bo to return to Qilu, and what is even stricter is that once the Hebei Righteous Army is severely damaged, Wang Bo has lost his help, and it is impossible to return to Qilu for the time being, and the alliance's strategy of occupying southwest Lu to expand and strengthen will fail. It is foreseeable from this that next year's life of the alliance will definitely be very difficult, not only will it continue to suffer in the predicament of lack of money and food, but it will also have to face more and more encirclement and suppression by the officers and troops, and it will be difficult.

On the contrary, the alliance is now crossing the river to the north, aggravating the crisis in Hebei, which will inevitably endanger the Second Eastern Crusade, and in order to ensure the Second Eastern Crusade and ensure the safety of the Yongji Canal, the Eastern Capital must stabilize Hebei in the shortest possible time, and the most effective way is to make concessions to the wealthy families of Hebei in the political zhì. The wealthy families in Hebei have benefited, and they must explain to the east in their actions, but they can't help the officials and soldiers to kill the Hebei Righteous Army, because the Hebei Righteous Army is a tool for them to seek political interests, and now is the time to play its role, and they can't be damaged, so the best way is to let the Hebei Righteous Army temporarily leave Hebei. At that moment, as long as the people of Hebei are willing to help Wang Bo return to Qilu, the alliance's strategy of growing will have the possibility of success.

That's why the coalition went north. Fate must be in their own hands, and opportunities cannot fall from the sky, and the alliance is going north to add to the changes in the situation in Hebei, so as to strive to find opportunities for its own development.

Li Fengyun's explanation sounds very reasonable, but in fact the goal is not clear, and the reason is also very far-fetched, because the strategy of the three-way rebel army to attack Zhang Xutuo was originally an idea, although Li Fengyun has done his best for this, but whether this idea can be realized in the end is limited by all aspects, there are too many constraints, and the possibility of realization is not large, especially important, even if this idea is realized, the three-way rebel army will fight hand in hand to attack Zhang Xutuo, but is there any certainty of victory? Zhang Xutuo has the Donglai Water Division as a backup, and the 20,000 troops of Qi King Yang Lan are also close at hand, once the Donglai Water Division and Qi King Yang Lan both appear on the battlefield, the Three Ways Righteous Army is not the opponent of the Three Routes official army at all, and it will be defeated.

If the alliance is defeated, it will also fall into a survival dilemma, so in comparison, the alliance commanders prefer to rely on their own strength to show strength, such as this year's westward expedition to the Central Plains is a successful example. Since the Eastern Capital is the Second Eastern Crusade, why can't the alliance enter the Central Plains again and plunder the Tongji Canal? Why do you have to attack Zhang Xutuo? Since he knew that it would be extremely difficult to defeat Zhang Xutuo, why did he still rise to the challenge and ask for trouble?

The views of the two sides are very different, and the difference in ideas is too great.

Li Fengyun knows the trend of history, knows how powerful Zhang Xutuo is, and knows that Zhang Xutuo will be a nightmare for the righteous army from all walks of life in the south of the Great River in the next few years, and the reason why the righteous army in Qilu, Henan and other places has not formed a whole for a long time, and it has always been a plate of scattered sand, it is precisely because Zhang Xutuo relied on his strong force to deal a heavy blow to the Qilu righteous army, and contained and hindered the development and growth of the Henan righteous army, until after his death, the Henan righteous army rose rapidly under the leadership of Li Mi. On the other hand, Hebei is different, Hebei has been defeated repeatedly, precisely because of the lack of powerful figures like Zhang Xutuo, and the Hebei Righteous Army has continued to grow in battle, and under the leadership of Dou Jiande, it has rapidly grown into one of the four major military groups competing for the world.

Now Zhang Xutuo's military force is still in the development stage, and the righteous army still has the possibility of defeating him, and as long as the righteous army defeats Zhang Xutuo, it will not only change history, but also the fate of the righteous army in Qilu and Henan. This is where Li Fengyun's ambition lies, the alliance has grown, and it will inevitably become a gathering place for the righteous armies of Qilu and Henan, and the alliance will usher in a stage of high development, and when the strength of the alliance swells to a certain extent, it will inevitably be able to take Qilu as the base, crisscross the north and south of the river, and take all the righteous troops in Shandong into the bag, so as to become the overlord of the Shandong righteous army, and lay a solid foundation for the pursuit of the middle earth.

However, what Li Fengyun saw, the heroes could not see, and the heroes could only deduce the future based on the facts they knew so far and formulate countermeasures in line with their own interests, rather than formulating some strategies that seemed unbelievable to others with forward-looking ideas like Li Fengyun, and even gambling on future gains at the expense of current interests.

Now Li Fengyun has the strength and authority in the alliance, and he can suppress the opposition and force the marshals to obey their orders, but it will also bury the root of the disintegration, after all, Li Fengyun is a man, not a god, and he doesn't know whether the three-way righteous army can defeat Zhang Xutuo by working together, once defeated, the contradictions within the alliance will inevitably explode, and the alliance is very likely to collapse, so he must respect the opinions of the marshals and come up with a strategy that can be accepted by the marshals to form a life and death on the basis of consistent interestsand share weal and woe to maintain the survival and development of the alliance. Without an alliance and without strength, ideals will become dreams and are meaningless.

Just as Li Fengyun was trying his best to persuade the heroes, Xiao Yi suddenly whispered a few words in Li Fengyun's ear, and then the two went to the side tent together.

Xiao Yi said bluntly, "Ming Gong should be very aware of the importance of the alliance, but relying on the strength of Ming Gong alone, it will be more and more difficult to control the alliance, once it encounters a setback, the consequences are unimaginable, so there are some things that Ming Gong must say and cannot continue to conceal, after all, the alliance has developed to this day, and it already has the power to influence and even determine the regional situation, and this force not only needs it from Ming Gong, but also needs it from all other large and small forces." ”

Xiao Yi looked at Li Fengyun, who was contemplating and contemplating, and solemnly admonished, "If the Ming Duke can't control the alliance, the alliance will inevitably be controlled by other forces, such as the King of Qi, so ......"

Li Fengyun understood, he was secretly shocked, realizing that he had made a mistake, and the gains and losses at the critical moment would bring unpredictable consequences. The only means of controlling the alliance is strength, but with the expansion of the alliance, as many forces covet the alliance, their own strength is no longer enough, and they must unite other forces to firmly control the alliance.

At the alliance's military meeting, facing the core members of the alliance, Li Fengyun finally revealed two secrets, one is that he has established a limited cooperative relationship with the Hebei giants, and the other is the secret agreement reached between himself and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the local forces in Guanlong, with Wei's as the Wei family, which is just a "layout" set by the Hebei giants, and its purpose is self-evident.

After hearing these secrets, the high-level members of the alliance did not show surprise, they had always had speculations about Li Fengyun's mysterious identity and the secret hidden behind the Central Plains of the Western Expedition, and today Li Fengyun only confirmed their guesses, so no one was surprised, on the contrary, they understood the reason why Li Fengyun insisted on crossing the river to the north.

However, regional interests are a fact, even if it is very narrow, even if it is not conducive to the development of the righteous army, but the Hebei people, Henan people, Qilu people stubbornly adhere to their own regional interests, under normal circumstances it is difficult to achieve mutual help, mutual benefit and reciprocity, at most is mutual non-aggression, and in fact the confrontation between Shandong people in different regions is far greater than cooperation, which is also one of the reasons why the Shandong people finally lost to the Guanlong people who were inferior to themselves in the war of reunification.

From this narrow area, although the heroes were able to accept Li Fengyun's decision, they did not have the enthusiasm to participate. Last time Li Fengyun decided to go south to Xuzhou, except for Meng Haigong, all the heroes were afraid of losing the battle and their own interests would be damaged, so they were unwilling to participate, and this time even Meng Haigong was unwilling to participate, not only worried about losing the battle, but also because he had no idea of helping the people of Hebei at all.

Li Fengyun, as always, has no intention of forcing it, what he needs is that his decision-making can be understood and supported by the heroes, so that the decision-making level of the alliance can always maintain unity, and the commanders will not be constrained when arranging troops, and the heroes can also faithfully implement their intentions in the specific implementation process, so as not to fight separately and become a mess.

Li Fengyun's deployment was the same as the last time he went south to Xuzhou, the only change was that Meng Haigong commanded the sixth, seventh, and eighth armies to be deployed at the junction of Lujun and Pengcheng to block the attack from Xuzhou. Li Fengyun personally led his army to cross the river to the north, and the three armies of the Inner Government and the first and second armies of the alliance fought with him. Lu Xingxing led the third, fourth, and fifth armies of the alliance to deploy on the north and south lines of the Great River to ensure the retreat of the northbound army.

Li Fengyun also sent an envoy to report to Wei Fuhei, telling in detail the reasons for the change in the plan, if the Hebei Righteous Army defeated Duan Da before the end of the year, then the Third Route Righteous Army still had the possibility of flanking Zhang Xutuo at the beginning of next year; If things don't go well, and the time for the Hebei righteous army to cross the river to the south is delayed again and again, then the trouble will be big, and I am afraid it will be difficult to control Qilu as he wishes.

However, if the king of Qi wanted to control Qilu, he had to rely on the power of the alliance, so Li Fengyun was sure enough to persuade Wei Fusi to maintain a certain "tacit understanding" with the alliance after he led his army to cross the river to the north. It is true that the rebellion cannot be stopped, and the traitors must also be encircled and suppressed, but how to fight the war, the king of Qi has the final say, and the eastern capital is beyond the reach of the whip, and he is powerless, and he can't manage it if he wants to.
