Li Mengwei quickly made a choice. His selection criteria are very simple, strength determines a qiē.

Li Fengyun's strength is strong, the fierce generals under his account are like clouds, there are 100,000 armor soldiers, even if half of the discount is made, there are still 50,000 troops, such a team to kill the Flying Fox, who can arrive? There is no opponent at all, and even the Yanbei Zhenjun army is powerless to encircle and suppress. And Li Fengyun, who occupies a favorable location, will inevitably attack from all sides after the flying fox gains a firm foothold, and at that time, even if Li Fengyun is surrounded by the Weifu Legion, it is difficult to do anything, but it is more than enough to be a soil overlord. In this way, Li Fengyun took control of the "choke point" of smuggling between the north and the south, and many forces in the north and south could only "bow their heads" to Li Fengyun and allow him to share the profits of smuggling.

"I really know Yanbei very well." Li Meng tasted his feelings and said, "I know the flying fox even better, and I can cross this Yanbei Pass with my eyes closed." ”

Li Mengwei was unhurried and eloquent, and gave a detailed explanation of the important position of the Flying Fox in the smuggling between the north and the south, the important relationship between this "golden" passage and the "three points and one line" between the three cities of Flying Fox, Lingqiu, and Ulcheng, and the important impact of this unique area formed by the confluence of Taihang Mountain, Heng Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, and Sangganshui on Yanbei, northern Xinjiang, and even the entire north-south shape.

The heroes listened quietly, lest something be missed.

This place is strange to the heroes. Don't talk about the handsome from Qilu, even the handsome from Hebei also don't know anything about Yanbei because they all live on the front line of the big river. For the Jiangzuo people, it is even more distant. Only Li Zixiong knows a little bit about it, Li Zixiong has been in charge of Youzhou after the Holy Lord ascended the throne, quelled the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and has some understanding of Yanbei, but the northern Xinjiang is centered on the Great Wall defense line, such as the Flying Fox Pass, Puyin Cheng, Changshan Pass and other Taihang key passes have greatly reduced their military value since the unification of China and Earth, and the Weifu has not paid enough attention to them, and it is inevitable that Li Zixiong will be negligent.

Li Mengwei said three key points. This mountainous area centered on the Flying Fox has terrain advantages, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack; Whoever occupies this mountainous area will be stuck in the "throat" of north-south smuggling, and will be able to make huge profits from north-south smuggling; The quality of the smuggling environment in the north and south determines the shape of the north of the Yan, and the shape of the north directly affects the north! The suppression of the war, and the suppression of the northern Xinjiang war, directly affected the relations between the north and the south, so as long as the alliance controlled this area, it would definitely be able to affect the development of the north and the south, and even detonate the war between the north and the south.

These three key points fell into the ears of the heroes, which means that after the alliance occupies this area, first of all, there is a guarantee of security, survival is worry-free, and the worst can be a mountain king; Secondly, it is profitable, and it is also a very lucrative smuggling profit, geese plucking, collecting a "road fee" can make a fortune, how can such a good thing be let go? Again, the future prospects are very good, survival is worry-free and profitable, there will be no loss of strength, and strength is the guarantee of the future, as long as there is strength, the alliance is qualified to participate in the civil war, and only then can it achieve hegemony according to the northern Xinjiang.

This is indeed a good place, and it is indeed conducive to the alliance to gain a foothold in the north. The love of the heroes is greatly rising.

Liu Heimin immediately raised the second question, what are the powerful forces in Yanbei? Are these powerful forces controlling the Flying Fox? How many garrisons do Lingqiu, Flying Fox, and Ulcheng have? Are there heavy troops in Changshan Pass and Puyin?

"The biggest force in Yanbei is the border army, that is, Yingyang Mansion, any force that threatens the stability of Yanbei will be swept away by the border army, so although there are many large and small forces in Yanbei, their strength is limited, and they are scattered, and no one dares to touch the bottom line of the border army. And who knows the bottom line of the border army? The commanders of the border army change frequently, and the eagles of Yanbei are even more arrogant, unruly, and do whatever they want, they rely on their own strong strength, black and white, north and south, the result can be imagined, Yanbei is the world of the border army. ”

Li Mengwei's answer surprised everyone, but it was also expected when you thought about it carefully. If the border army allows the local forces to sit on the throne, or even allows the smuggling gangs from the north and the south to collude and the wolves to act as traitors, how can the border army ensure the safety of Yanbei? And how to ensure that Yanbei's smuggling will not get out of control and that their own interests will not be lost?

"Yanbei is a place where Han and Han people live together, but there are very few real Han people, most of them are Hulu after Sinicization, these people mainly live on both sides of the Sanggan River, and the line of the Great Wall is dominated by exiled prisoners, Han captives, merchants and northern captives who fled to the customs. It is not difficult to see from this that the ethnicity in Yanbei is very complex, and in fact, it cannot form a large local force. The reason why the border army family is dominant. ”

"But the Yanbei border army is also a plate of scattered sand. Yanbei has a general of Weifu, a general of Hubenlang, two generals of Huyalang, two generals of Zhen, seven Yingyang Mansions, and about 8,000 garrisons. Because the benefits of smuggling in Yanbei are too huge, the border army is deeply involved in it, and it is overwhelmed, and Yan zhòng endangers the town of Yanbei, so the middle and senior officers are replaced like a marquee, and the Yingyangwei also frequently changes the defense area, but the symptoms are not cured, and it still does not help to crack down on smuggling, but makes Yanbei smuggling more rampant. ”

"After the start of the Eastern Expedition last year, at least half of the soldiers of the Yanbei Border Army went to the Liaodong battlefield. In the second Eastern Crusade this year, part of the Yanbei Border Army was requisitioned. According to rumors, even the three Yingyang Mansions and the two towns outside the Saiwai Great Wall are now strictly deficient, and as for the other four Yingyang Mansions, there are only a few old guards left. There is even a speculation that the Yanbei border army today is only 3,000 people at most, and the Yanbei Great Wall is in vain and precarious. ”

"In order to supplement the garrison force, the border army urgently recruited a large number of local brave soldiers, and most of these local brave men came from local forces large and small in northern Yanbei, and even businessmen were also mixed in, for no other reason than to facilitate smuggling. As a result, since the beginning of the Eastern Crusade, smuggling in Yanbei has become more and more rampant, and now it has become crazy. Of course, this is temporary, just when the Eastern Crusade is over and the border army returns, this kind of good days will come to an end. ”

"It is precisely because of this that in order to seize this rare opportunity to make more huge profits faster, the smugglers are desperate, taking the low-value materials on the main roads and passes, and concentrating all the high-value materials such as salt and iron on the Flying Fox Mountain, so now whether it is Changshan Pass and Puyin on the front line of Taihang, or Lingqiu, Flying Fox and Ulcheng area, the number of garrisons is very small, and all of them are bought by smugglers, unimpeded."

"In other words, it is easy for the alliance to go north to fight the Flying Fox now. The key problem is that it is a hornet's nest, once the alliance pokes it open, it will directly affect the stability of Yanbei, and endanger the Yanbei town, the situation will be complicated, and the shape will be severe, and the alliance must be prepared to be surrounded and suppressed by the Weifu army on all sides. ”

When the heroes heard this, their feelings rose. Not only can you easily capture a foothold, but you can also make huge profits with the help of the flying fox, and you can also take the opportunity to affect the relationship between the north and the south of Yanbei, which can be described as a good thing with one stone.

Next, the heroes asked some other questions, and Li Mengwei answered them one by one, without concealing them.

Soon, the heroes had all their doubts, took a firm position, had a resolute attitude, and began to discuss warmly how to attack north, and some heroes even volunteered and took the initiative to ask for help.

Li Fengyun took the initiative to consult Li Zixiong's opinion. This is not only a respect for Li Zixiong himself, but also a hint to the alliance's heroes, and it is also to prove to Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and other wealthy nobles that they have always maintained an attitude of sincere cooperation with King Qi.

Li Zi was ambitious and immediately expressed his support for Li Fengyun's attack strategy, and was willing to lead the selection of the front army to open the way north.

This posture is very low, beyond Li Fengyun's expectations. Of course, Li Fengyun knows very well that Li Zixiong made this gesture not because he was impressed by his own ability, but because Li Zixiong misunderstood that there was a larger force behind him, and he was willing to cooperate with this huge force.

Li Fengyun also consulted Yang Gongdao, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yu Rou and Zheng Yan. Although these six wealthy nobles are unwilling to sit on an equal footing with a large group of vulgar heroes, they have to bow their heads under the eaves, since they have joined the alliance on behalf of King Qi, they must maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun, and the respected Li Zixiong is their "role model", and it will definitely not be wrong to follow Li Zixiong step by step.

Han Shige took the lead in expressing his willingness to follow Li Zixiong to fight, and "clear-cut" to form his own line in the alliance and compete with Li Fengyun.

Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and Yu Rou, the three Jiangzuo people, exchanged glances with each other, and immediately formed a tacit understanding. Zhou Zhong immediately stated that he was also willing to follow Li Zixiong, but Li Zixiong was the first to look forward.

Jiang Zuo knew very well that Li Fengyun would not trust them, nor would he give them troops, let alone harm the interests of the alliance commanders in order to meet their demands, so even if they belonged to a different political group from Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zheng Yan and others, they were forced to compromise, and first hugged together under the banner of King Qi.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. The alliance has not yet gained a foothold in the north, and two distinct systems have been formed internally, which is obviously not a good sign, it is a blow to Li Fengyun's personal authority, and it will also cause a certain impact on the psychology of the alliance commanders.

However, Li Fengyun's attitude was unexpected.

"You don't have an army yet." Li Fengyun pointed at Zhou Zhong and Lai Yuan and said, "In the first battle of Jindi Pass, we defeated Dong Chun and captured about 4,000 Xuzhou Yingyangwei. A certain transfer of all these captives to you, you form an army of your own, and obey the orders of Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong). ”

Li Zixiong was slightly surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Li Fengyun meaningfully, his eyes showed appreciation, and he smiled.

Han Shige, Li Min, Yang Gongdao, and Zheng Yan looked at Li Fengyun in surprise, incredulous. Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, and Yu Rou were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up to thank them.

"Of course, no thanks." Li Fengyun said with a pun, "If you keep your promise, you must also keep your promise." ”

This is indeed Li Fengyun's promise. At the beginning of the Jindi Pass, the reason why Dong Chun accepted Wei Fusi's persuasion and gave more than 4,000 soldiers as prisoners to Li Fengyun was because Li Fengyun promised that this army would be returned to the King of Qi intact. Later, on the bank of the Yongji Canal, the King of Qi also mentioned this matter, hoping that Li Fengyun would hand over this army to the Jiangzuo people in order to buy the hearts of the Jiangzuo people.

It's just that the promise is the promise, and it is whimsical to let Li Fengyun spit out what he eats in his mouth, so even the King of Qi said it very implicitly at that time, which means that you only need to give it to people, as for whether it is old and weak, women and children, it doesn't matter, it is acceptable to be shoddy.

Now Li Fengyun not only kept his promise, but also very generously handed over this army to the Jiangzuo people as it was, which not only exceeded everyone's expectations, but also a great favor, whether it was for the king of Qi, Li Zixiong or Jiangzuo, it was a natural favor, Li Fengyun's bearing and courage were heartbreaking.

Li Zixiong, Zhou Zhong and others were happy, Zhen Baoche, Lu Xingxing and others were angry, and they had very big opinions about Li Fengyun, and more than 4,000 elite soldiers gave away without blinking their eyes, can you lose some more?
