On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Pei Shiju, Li Hun, and Zhao Shizhu arrived in Fangcheng and were ceremoniously welcomed by Anton. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this way, Pei Shiju had a short stop in Baitan, met with the chieftain of the Mukun tribe, and then crossed the water, and talked with the heads of the two families surnamed Haowang of the Han and Han tribes in Anzhou and the chiefs of the Mohefu and Murod tribes of the Xi nationality who came to greet them, and expressed their comfort to them on behalf of the holy lord and the central government.

The arrival of Pei Shiju means that Middle-earth officially accepted Anton, and Anzhou and Northeast China were incorporated into the territory of Middle-earth, and all the people who inhabit the land of Anzhou and Northeast China, whether they are Han people, Sinicized Xianbei people or Donghu people, have become Middle-earth people, which makes those Han people who dream of returning to Middle-earth and Sinicized Xianbei people bloom, immersed in excitement and excitement, and those Donghu species have mixed emotions, joy, fear, and some expectations for the future, but they have been conquered by the strong **** for a long time, or struggle to survive among the two powers, and of course be deeply wary of Middle-earth, and always keep a distance in case of accidents.

In the next two days, Pei Shiju made a very high-profile public appearance, inspected Fangcheng and its surrounding areas, condoled the Xi tribesmen living on both sides of the Suotou River, and summoned dozens of Han merchants on the morning of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Fengyun took the Sky Wolf to ride the wind and galloped over, and quietly returned to the Great Governor's Mansion of the Alliance.

Achievements represent strength, meritorious service represents authority, today Li Fengyun swept the northeast, won Anton in one fell swoop with a thunderous momentum, reversed the precarious situation of the alliance by means of turning the clouds and rain, and firmly established himself as the commander in the Anton Alliance, so Li Zixiong, Yuan An, Xiao Yi, Kong Yingda, Andriol, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Hai Dongqing, Humiliation Wang Yun, Ashina Hanhai and other representatives of the alliance forces Although they have their own thoughts and seek their own benefits, they are happy and convinced of Li Fengyun and others, and are in awe. Even Li Zixiong had to sigh that the future was terrifying, and he couldn't accept it.

After some greetings, Yuan An, Xiao Yi and Andriol respectively reported to Li Fengyun and the Great Governor's Office on the return negotiations, Anzhou's military, political and financial affairs, while Murong Zhili and Li Mengwei, who came back with Li Fengyun, gave an explanation of the latest situation in the Northeast, and finally Li Fengyun explained in detail his negotiations with Yang Shanjing, the messenger of the desert. In general, the current situation of the Anton Alliance is mixed, but if you want to embark on a benign development track, the key is to control the autonomy, which requires Anton to fight wits and courage with the eastern capital, and the premise of the game between the border region and the central government is strength, the army, and the force, so Li Fengyun is most concerned about the safety of the Flying Fox Legion left behind.

"Extrapolating from the time, the order of the chief administrator to allow the Flying Fox Remaining Army to leave the customs should be delivered around the twentieth of last month, but because the return negotiations have not yet been fruitful, we cannot guarantee the safety of the Flying Fox Remaining Defenders out of the customs, so even if the order is delivered, the Flying Fox Remaining Army is at most ready to go out of the customs, and it is absolutely impossible to risk the destruction of the entire army to go north and go out."

Xiao Yat made a relevant explanation to Li Fengyun on behalf of the Grand Governor's Office, "After the return negotiations began, we immediately summoned Feihu through secret channels and asked them to wait patiently, and at the same time, we also sent secret envoys to Feihu day and night to explain the return plan to Feihu in detail on behalf of the Grand Governor's Office, so as to ensure that Feihu will not make wrong decisions due to miscalculation." ”

"On the twenty-fifth of last month, we reached an agreement with Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng on the departure of the Flying Fox Garrison Army. Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng immediately returned to Zhuo County and Shanggu to make specific arrangements, and we also took Li Min as a special envoy to rush to Feihu, on the one hand, to convey the order to the remaining troops of Feihu, and on the other hand, on behalf of Anton, actively coordinate and communicate with Shanggu and Zhuo County to ensure the safety of customs clearance. ”

"If everything is normal, before the tenth day of the first month, the Flying Fox will leave Puyin and go north to Zhuo County through Yishui. At the end of this month, it will leave Gubeikou, cross Yanshan, and enter Anzhou. ”

Xiao Yi said this, glanced at Li Fengyun, and said solemnly, "Hundreds of thousands of flying fox soldiers and civilians left behind have entered Anzhou, and proper resettlement is the top priority, although the Great Governor's Mansion has already prepared a resettlement strategy, but the return negotiations have entered the second stage, and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the three prefectures under its jurisdiction may be established at any time, which will inevitably lead to chaos and even serious conflicts, so ......"

Or the question of autonomy, if Anton does not have autonomy, and the Eastern Capital centralizes power in the central government with the help of the Anton Protectorate, then even if the Metropolitan Protectorate is jointly erected by all forces in Anton, it will inevitably bring a series of troubles to Anton, especially in the unfavorable situation that Anton is seriously constrained by the Eastern Capital, the forces of all parties in Anton will definitely be broken by the Eastern Capital, once the alliance falls apart, the good situation in front of him will be wiped out in an instant, which forces Anton to do his best to compete for the main position of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Many people in the Governor's Mansion even had unrealistic thoughts, but Pei Shiju's arrival made everyone feel ominous. The opponent is too strong, so strong that it makes people desperate.

"Don't worry." Li Fengyun shook his hand and said with a smile, "The importance of Anton in the confrontation between the north and the south is self-evident, so for the Eastern Capital, a stable and powerful Anton is the most in line with the interests of Middle-earth, on the contrary, if Anton falls into chaos, or even falls apart, gaining and losing, it will be a heavy blow to the Eastern Capital." Similarly, for Anton himself, Anton's inclusion in the territory of Middle-earth has become a fait accompli, and all forces in Anton are enemies of the desert, and at the same time there is a danger of being swallowed up by the Eastern Capital. ”

Li Fengyun looked at everyone, paused for a moment, and continued, "If we want to get autonomy, we must first have strength, we must have the capital to bargain, we need Anton's rapid stability, and we want the safety of the Flying Fox Legion to get out of the customs. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fengyun shook his head again and said with emotion, "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." At the beginning of the stopper, a certain pair of kings and flying foxes had high hopes, but when the general trend was about to be completed, the king of Qi was afraid and retreated, and he retreated, seeking to get out, resulting in the failure to realize the expected situation, Anton was deeply passive, and the benefits exchanged for the fruitful results in the early stage were insignificant, which was a big disappointment. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense, and everyone heard Li Fengyun's resentment and unwillingness.

In fact, if the King of Qi is bold and daring, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of Li Fengyun sweeping Anton, joining forces with the Flying Fox to stay behind the defenders and take control of Yanbei, the Holy Lord and the Center will definitely suffer from the enemy, extremely passive, and finally have no choice but to compromise with the King of Qi and Anton, so that the three parties have their own benefits, the Holy Lord and the Center get the martial arts of opening the territory, and the King of Qi and Anton can also get the maximum benefits, so that the King of Qi will not get nothing like now, Anton will passively compromise, and the greatest benefits will be "robbed" by the Holy Lord and the Center.

But what if you are unwilling? King Qi was originally an uncontrollable risk, and the Flying Fox Haoshuai was scattered, each for his own benefit, how could he sacrifice his life for Li Fengyun?

On the thirteenth day of the first month, on the night, Li Fengyun went to the pavilion to ask to see Pei Shiju.

Pei Xuanji went out to greet him. The two exchanged pleasantries, then walked side by side and walked slowly.

"Maybe I will meet Ming Gong tonight?"

"Now the adults are busy, I'll ask later." Pei Xuanji glanced at Li Fengyun meaningfully, and said with a pun, "Now that the wind and waves are urgent, it doesn't matter if you don't help the adult, but you deliberately push the adult to the cusp, what's your intention?" ”

Li Fengyun smiled faintly, "In August, on the bank of the Yishui River, I already told you that I was going north to get out of the fortress." ”

"Who would have thought that you would be able to sweep Anton?" Pei Xuanji sighed, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it." ”

"Adults don't believe it either." Li Dao, "So I ate a closed-door soup in Yishui, and now that a certain person has made the impossible possible, do you want to eat a closed-door soup again?" ”

Pei Xuanji stopped, looked at Li Fengyun, and pretended to be surprised, "It turns out that you know that you have to eat again?" ”

"Ming Gong is angry?" Li Fengyun said with a smile, "Does he also think that the capture of Anton will inevitably accelerate the outbreak of the Civil War, and the results of his westward journey will also be in vain?" ”

"Isn't it?" Pei Xuanji asked, "If you hadn't captured Anton, pushed the North-South relationship to the brink of rupture, and had not allowed the two Turks in the east and west to seriously misinterpret the national policy of Middle-earth, how could the general trend of the world have undergone such a major change?" ”

"The reason why the general trend of the world has undergone major changes, and the reason why the two Turkic tribes in the east and west have joined forces to attack Middle-earth, is not that a certain person suddenly captured Anton, but that since the accession of the Holy Lord, the foreign strategy of Middle-earth has changed from passive defense to active defense, from garrisoning the Great Wall to expanding the territory, showing strength? The desire to expand seriously threatened the survival and development of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the Civil War came again. Li Fengyun said quietly, "In the case that the Civil War was about to break out, the successive defeats of the Eastern Crusade gave the Holy Lord and the center a fatal blow, coupled with Yang Xuangan's mutiny, the contradiction between the two capitals suddenly became white-hot, and the Holy Lord and the center fell into internal and external troubles, and they were in a hurry, and they were anxious, but they must first settle the inside, so the Ming Duke hurriedly traveled westward, nominally allied with the Western Turks, and joined forces to attack the desert, but in fact it was to deceive the Turks and try to delay the outbreak of the Civil War. ”

Li Fengyun looked at Pei Xuanji and asked solemnly, "Turkic people are not idiots, so I want to ask you, who deceived whom during Ming Gong's trip?" ”
