As soon as the King of Qi had just divided his troops, Li Fengyun received a secret report from Xiao Yi that Wei Yunqi and Wei Baoluan had led their troops north to Jishui.

Li Fengyun immediately thought of Ji and Heshuidao. King Qi really had some means to return to the rear of the righteous army with the main force, cut off the retreat of the righteous army, and surrounded the righteous army on the front line of the Tongji Canal, but this strategy had a fatal point for the King of Qi, that is, the righteous army would inevitably cut off the Tongji Canal at a critical moment.

The Rebel Alliance had analyzed and deduced the time when King Qi sent his troops to fight the rebellion, and believed that July was the best time, because after the end of the rainy season in the Far East, there was not much time left for the expeditionary force to attack, and the Eastern Expedition would either be victorious, or it would be difficult to continue and return without success, or it would temporarily turn to rest and prepare for another battle in the next year, dragging the war to the next year. However, Wei Yunqi's initiative to seek defeat in the battle of Jishui suddenly complicated the situation, although the king of Qi used this as an excuse to go out of Beijing in advance to fight for chaos, but in the political zhì pushed himself to the cusp, the top and bottom of the eastern capital seemed to see that the king of Qi was re-taking the road of the Han king Yang Liang to fight for the imperial unification by force, so the undercurrent surged, and the various forces representing different political positions converged into a huge force very "tacitly", pushing the king of Qi step by step towards the road of no return of cannibalism between father and son.

"It's the middle of June, the trend of the Eastern Expedition battlefield is still unclear, the expeditionary force needs a steady supply of military supplies, and the Tongji Canal can't be cut off in any case, so at this moment, the King of Qi is out of Beijing to fight the rebellion, and the first priority should be to ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal, so the normal strategy for the rebellion should be to use strong force as a deterrent, step by step, forcing us to retreat step by step, gradually moving away from the Tongji Canal, and finally have to withdraw from the Central Plains in great strides." Xiao Yi watched Li Fengyun burn the secret letter, and frowned and whispered, "But the King of Qi did the opposite, forcing us to cut off the Tongji Canal before we got out of the customs, and he was not afraid that the cut off of the Tongji Canal would affect the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, why is this?" Did he really lose his mind and decide to openly break with the emperor and kill father and son? Didn't he know that there were many wolves in the eastern capital waiting for him to fall into the trap, and then swarmed up to eat him in two

Li Fengyun pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, "In this way, Wei Yunqi's quest for defeat is not only to let King Qi get out of Beijing in advance, but there is another reason for him to dare to take the risk of cutting off the Tongji Canal. ”

"What is the reason? What did Ming Gongwei guess? Xiao Yat asked.

"The shape on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade may have undergone some kind of heavy dà change." Li Fengyun said, "This change made the King of Qi not care about the severance of the Tongji Canal, so that our judgment of the situation was wrong, and we overestimated the threat of the breaking of the Tongji Canal to the King of Qi, so the King of Qi was able to use the Tongji Canal to mislead us, drag us down, and finally wipe us out." ”

Li Fengyun looked at Xiao Yi, who was enlightened, and asked, "Is there any latest news on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade?" ”

Xiao Yi shook his head, "It hasn't been there recently, I don't know if it's because Goguryeo took the initiative to surrender, the negotiations between the two sides have entered a critical moment, and the palace has blocked all the news?" Xiao Yi immediately seemed to have an epiphany, and said eagerly, "Duke Ming, the king of Qi can't wait to go out of Beijing to fight the rebellion, is it because he knows that the Goguryeo people have surrendered and the Eastern Crusade is about to end?" ”

Li Fengyun vetoed, "With the current situation of King Qi, the news he can learn, we can also know, take a step back, even if our news is delayed, there is also Pushan Gong, Pushan Gong knows the movements of the Eastern Capital well, and any trace of wind and grass cannot hide it from him." ”

"There are characters on him, and of course there is nothing to hide from the movements of the Eastern Capital." Xiao Yi shook his head disapprovingly, and continued the topic just now, "Ming Gong, according to your estimate, what major changes may occur on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, so that the severance of the Tongji Canal can no longer threaten the King of Qi?" ”

"If nothing else, the reason why there is no news on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition during this period is not because the Goguryeo people took the initiative to surrender and the two sides were negotiating repeatedly, but because the emperor and the center fell into the Goguryeo people's strategy of delaying the army, and when they woke up, the rainy season in the Far East had come, and there was little time left for the expeditionary force to attack, and the expeditionary force was still stranded under the city of Liaodong, and there were still more than a thousand miles away from Pyongyang, so the war would inevitably continue until the next year."

Li Fengyun's eyes were deep, his tone was calm, and he spoke eloquently, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"The expeditionary force is still under the city of Liaodong?" Xiao Yi didn't believe it and thought that Li Fengyun's guess was too outrageous. The expeditionary force forcibly crossed Liaoshui on March 14 and began to besiege Liaodong City on March 16. How likely is it that hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Middle Earth Guard Army will attack a city defended by tens of thousands of Goguryeo people and cannot be defeated for three months?

"To attack Goguryeo, Liaoshui is the first natural obstacle, Liaodong City is the second line of defense, Wugu City is the third dangerous pass, Yalu Water and Sashui are the fourth and fifth natural obstacles, and then it will hit Pyongyang." Li Fengyun asked rhetorically, "Since the expeditionary force crossed Liaoshui and besieged Liaodong City, have you ever heard the news that they are besieging Wugu City and approaching Yalu Water?" Every time the expeditionary force overcomes a dangerous obstacle and is one step closer to victory, such good news can be transmitted back to the country, which can not only improve the authority of the emperor and the central government, but also play a role in stabilizing the domestic situation, so it is conceivable that once the expeditionary force has achieved a major phased victory, the emperor and the center will never hide the possibility of it, and will only spare no effort to publicize it. But what is the reality? During this time, there was not even news of the battlefields of the Eastern Crusade. No news means no results and no victory, so it is certain that the expeditionary force is still stranded under the city of Liaodong. ”

Xiao Yi nodded frequently, believing a little in this extremely outrageous speculation.

If the expeditionary force is still under the city of Liaodong, if the Eastern Expedition will continue until the second year, and considering that the rainy season in the Far East has come, then the expeditionary force will temporarily stop attacking, so that even if the Tongji Canal is interrupted, as long as it is not a long-term interruption, it will not affect the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, after all, Luokou and Huiluo Guocang in the eastern capital, Liyang and Gaoyang Guocang in Hebei, Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, Linyu Palace in Liaoxi, and Wanghaidun and Huaiyuan Town in Liaodong The two frontier baggage camps have hoarded a large number of war materials. It has sufficient capacity to support the huge supply of military supplies for the expeditionary force.

"If the situation of the Eastern Crusade is as predicted by the Ming Gong, then whether the Tongji Canal is interrupted or not will indeed not threaten the King of Qi, but judging from the future political situation in the Eastern Capital and the determination of the King of Qi to attack the prince, the strategy of the King of Qi must be full of mysteries." Xiao Yi pondered and carefully deliberated, "If the King of Qi wants to attack the prince, he must force the emperor and the center to compromise, and if he wants to force the emperor and the center to compromise, it is important to cut off the Tongji Canal, but more importantly, the King of Qi must take advantage of this opportunity to grow quickly." ”

"Every qiē has to rely on strength to speak, so from the perspective of the king of Qi, he must first force us to cut off the Tongji Canal. The Tongji Canal was broken, and the local forces in Henan led by the Zheng clan in Xingyang, as well as the local government and the garrison Yingyang Mansion on the front line of the Tongji Canal, all had to bear heavy responsibility, so they had to compromise with the King of Qi and had to help the King of Qi grow stronger. The king of Qi has grown stronger and stronger, on the one hand, it is conducive to fighting chaos and reopening the Tongji canal, and on the other hand, it can coerce and coerce the emperor, go-for-tat with the center, bargain, and gradually realize his political goals. ”

Li Fengyun's eyes showed appreciation, and he agreed with Xiao Yi's inference.

"Duke Ming, whether the King of Qi can succeed in becoming the prince is not to threaten the emperor and the center with the benefits of the Tongji Canal, but how to improve his own strength." Xiao Yi continued, "The reason why the Holy Lord was able to defeat all his opponents in the fierce battle for imperial domination back then was that he was very strong and had already threatened the fate of Middle-earth. ”

At that time, the Holy Lord not only built the martial arts of pacifying Jiangzuo, but also worked hard to manage Jiangzuo during the ten years of suppressing Jiangzuo, successfully turned Jiangzuo into his own strength, and firmly controlled the lifeblood of Middle Earth with Jiangzuo's wealth. Perhaps, it was a mistake of the first emperor to let the Holy Lord suppress Jiangzuo for ten years. It was in this decade that the Holy Lord promoted the great cause of the unification of Middle-earth with Jiang Zuo's abundant wealth, but the lifeblood of Middle-earth was also quietly controlled by him. And although the crown prince Yang Yong also thrived under the wings of the first emperor, in the last years of the emperor, the martial arts and strength of the Holy Lord were far superior to that of the crown prince Yang Yong, and Yang Yong was not the opponent of the Holy Lord at all. Taking a step back, even if the crown prince Yang Yong inherited the imperial throne with the support of the first emperor, but the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, Yang Yong will die sooner or later. The first emperor was wise, perhaps he saw the result, so he deposed the crown prince, hoping to save Yang Yong from fratricide, but in the end Yang Yong still died at the hands of the Holy Lord.

In the end, any struggle depends on strength, and all intrigues and tricks are vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. Today's battle for the emperor is the same, the king of Qi can only show his strength to a point where the emperor and the center have to compromise, then the prince is his bag, but this is too difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky. The Holy Lord is a special case, the historical tide of the unification of Middle-earth was rolling in and unstoppable, and the Holy Lord happened to take advantage of the situation and took a big advantage, so his success cannot be replicated. Even if the king of Qi today exhausts all his strength, even if he occupies all the fortunes, he will never want to show his strength enough to threaten the fate of Middle-earth

At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of something incredible, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his gaze quickly moved away from Li Fengyun's face, as if he wanted to hide the sudden change in his mood.

Li Fengyun saw it, smiled slightly, and asked, "Do you suspect that a certain is a chess piece laid by King Qi?" Do you suspect that a certain person went to great lengths to form a rebel alliance to give it to the King of Qi and help the King of Qi grow his strength? ”

Xiao Yi knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Fengyun, so he cried and laughed silently. If Li Fengyun is really a pawn laid by the King of Qi, and if the Rebel Alliance is really used by the King of Qi, then the explosion of the civil war in Middle-earth is unstoppable.
