Chapter 639: Each Achieves His Purpose

Song Jingang retreated and wanted to leave, but how? Li Fengyun doesn't send off guests, no? mouth, he can't move an inch.

Li Sixing is also on pins and needles, he has overestimated Li Fengyun, but at this moment he has to admit that he is still too conservative, Li Fengyun is not only talented, has excellent strategies, but also has bottomless scheming, and what is even more terrifying is that he has an omniscient secret information channel. Li Sixing has been trying to find some traces, but it is difficult for him to have deep contact with Li Fengyun, and Li Fengyun is also surrounded by Fengyunwei, so far he has found nothing. Now that this terrible secret channel has exerted great power again, Li Sixing can no longer care about pursuing the secret of the "channel", and the top priority is to report to the suzerain as soon as possible, so that the wealthy families in northern Hebei can quickly come up with countermeasures to minimize losses.

The loss is inevitable, although this matter has just come out of Li Fengyun's mouth, but it has obviously been planned for a long time, it is already in the development stage, and it is irreversible, Li Fengyun just chose a suitable time to "detonate" it, Yibei can only respond passively and hastily now, and can only reduce the loss but not be able to save, the reason is very simple, Song Zixian, a self-proclaimed Maitreya Buddha's reincarnation, is a fact; The uncovered conference that Song Zixian is running is a fact; In the context of the rapid decline of the temple economy due to the reform of the great unification, Song Zixian had to use the power of believers to do black market transactions in the north and south to make huge profits, which is illegal and suspected of treason, so Song Zixian and the Han forces behind him have the will to assassinate the holy lord and overthrow the reform, which is also a fact; The Holy Lord and the Central Main Battle faction must maintain the relations between the north and the south by strong means, and they must conquer the desert and the northern captives by force, and the king of Qi and Li Fengyun want to enter the northern frontier, and they must "seize food from others" and "take advantage of the big and small forces" from all the stakeholders in the northern Xinjiang, including the Han and the captives, and all these forces have a strong motivation to safeguard their vested interests and maintain the existing north-south pattern, both in terms of the current political, military, and economic aspects as well as in the future relations between the north and the south, and for this they must firmly grasp the initiative in the northern Xinjiang. It is also a fact that the external forces of King Qi and Li Fengyun must be prevented from entering the northern frontier, and the supreme decision-making of the Holy Lord and the center must be influenced. Put all kinds of irrefutable facts together, then the fierce game between the opposing sides is inevitable, even if what Li Fengyun says is false, it is false, it is false, it is a false accusation, and it is a false accusation, and the opposing sides will use this as an excuse to fight to the death.

However, no matter how panicked and anxious Song Jingang and Li Sixing were, Li Fengyun turned a blind eye and continued to "talk without being shocking and dying", and continued to give them a strong impact.

"The assassination of the Holy Lord and the gathering of people to rebel are still within the acceptable range, and they belong to the internal contradictions of Middle-earth, but if they are captured and betrayed by outsiders, then they are contradictions between the enemy and ourselves." Li Fengyun's tone suddenly became cold, "Anyone who betrays Middle-earth is a mortal enemy of Middle-earth, and there is no mercy for killing." ”

Song Jingang's heart trembled with fear. Li Sixing, however, realized that Li Fengyun was trying every means to contain, attack, and weaken his opponent in order to gain a foothold in northern Xinjiang.

Song Zixian unfortunately became a sacrifice, once Song Zixian was discovered, he would provoke a fight between the wealthy family of Yibei and the wealthy family of Youyan, so they were too busy to take care of themselves and could not take care of Li Fengyun; However, Li Fengyun borrowed a knife to kill people, and killed Song Zixian by the hands of the Holy Lord and the center, and hit the Yibei wealthy family, not only profiting, but also killing chickens and monkeys, which can not only warn the Yibei wealthy family not to deliberately hinder the alliance's plan to go north, but also to draw closer to the Youyan wealthy family to lay the foundation for future cooperation, and at the same time threaten Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er and other local heroes who have close contacts with the Beiyu, in the case of the inevitable war between the North and the South, the local heroes must take a clear stand, We must put the interests of the nation and the interests of the country first, and if we continue to sell Middle-earth for our own selfish interests, we will kill them, and there will be no forgiveness for killing them.

Song Jingang also heard the murderous aura from Li Fengyun's words, and he was quite afraid. No wonder Li Fengyun told him to make the right choice before, it turned out that in order to seize the opportunity in the future war between the north and the south, Li Fengyun wanted to use force to cut off the smuggling between the north and the south, to use violent means to eliminate the traitors, and to kill on a large scale. It would be more difficult for the authorities to do this, because first, it would violate local interests and cause conflicts with local forces, second, it would openly provoke the northern captives, which would inevitably further worsen the relations between the north and the south, and third, it would affect the situation in northern Xinjiang and worsen the situation of border warfare. Therefore, Li Fengyun's appearance was opportune, and he just gave the Holy Lord and the center a "knife" to borrow a knife to kill people.

The people named by Li Fengyun just now, including Song Jingang, are the local heroes who are active in the northern and southern foothills of Taihang, and their influence is generally relatively large, wandering between the "black and white" channels, controlling the smuggling channels between the north and the south, making full use of the greed of northern Hebei and Youyanmen for the benefits of the northern and southern cities and the urgent need of the northern captives of the desert for salt and iron and other strategic materials in the Middle Earth, risking the risk of killing their heads and being accused of treason, engaging in illegal deeds and wantonly seeking illegal benefits. It is not difficult to see from this that the northward movement of Li Fengyun and the alliance army happened to have a fierce conflict with the interests of these local heroes, especially after Li Fengyun ruthlessly cut off the smuggling channels between the north and the south and cut off the "financial routes" of these local heroes, the two sides will definitely not die.

The reason why Song Jingang must see Li Fengyun himself is to find out the true purpose of the alliance army going north from Li Fengyun, as the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the combination is two benefits and two injuries, of course it is best to cooperate, it is just a big deal to give up some vested interests, most of the local heroes can accept it, on the contrary, these "land snakes" are about to "declare war", no one will be tied, let alone let Li Fengyun devour their vested interests, after all, they have backers behind them, not only the wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan, There is also the desert Beiyu outside the Great Wall, once the large and small Han forces join forces to "encircle and suppress" Li Fengyun, whether Li Fengyun can gain a foothold in the northern Xinjiang is a matter of two words; The reason why Li Fengyun leaked the secrets of the alliance to Song Jingang, who met for the first time, and was frank, was precisely to spread the true purpose of the alliance to the north through the "mouth" of Song Jingang, a heroic place, and in the grim situation of the inevitable and imminent outbreak of the Great War between the North and the South, the interests of Middle Earth are paramount, and at present, all forces must temporarily give up their own selfish interests, put aside the contradictions between each other, and unite to the outside world, otherwise they will be traitors and traitors, and everyone will be punished and killed.

At this point, the purpose of both sides has been achieved.

"That's all it takes." Li Fengyun "will accept it when he sees it", and showed a faint smile at Song Jingang, "Song Daxia may be suspicious of what he said, or even disagree, there is no other reason, everything depends on strength to speak, there is no strength, no one believes what Ren said, so what is the strength of my alliance?" Can it cross Yanbei? Can you fight the Beiyu? Can you help King Qi fulfill his long-cherished wish? ”

Li Fengyun waved his hand, his momentum was like a rainbow, "Tomorrow's battle, the main force of the alliance will be exhausted, and the strength will be clear at a glance." Please wait and see. ”

==

On the sixth day of the eighth month, in the early morning, more than ten miles southwest of Yicheng, the capital of Shanggu, Jingke Mountain, the front headquarters of the alliance.

Li Fengyun, Yuan An, Zhen Baoche, Lv Xingxing, Guo Ming, Xiahou Zhe, Zuo Junheng, Zuo Junxing, Zhong Xin, Hai Dongqing, Nan Yutang and other high-level leaders of the alliance gathered in the big tent.

The Zuo brothers, who had been in charge of besieging Yicheng, were familiar with the terrain and maintained close contact with Wang Bo, Guo Fangzhu, and Cao Kun on the west bank of Laishui, so they took the initiative to introduce the battlefield situation to Li Fengyun and others.

"This is Puyinkou." Zuo Junheng pointed to the map and said, "More than 100 miles from the southeast of Puyinkou is Yicheng, and more than 50 miles east from Yicheng is Laishui." Zuo Junheng made a "diagonal cut" gesture when he said this, "This piece of terrain is inclined from west to east, all of which are mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Weifu army crossed Laishui and attacked from east to west, all of which were uphill, which was just conducive to our ambush and encirclement. ”

"We set up an ambush in the mountains between Yicheng and Laishui." Zuo Junheng turned his head to look at Li Fengyun and cautiously explained, "Before the arrival of Ming Gong, our brothers carefully discussed with General Manager Guo and Zhong Tongjun, and the preliminary opinion was that two armies should be deployed at Yongyangyi to block head-on, two armies on the north and south sides of the avenue to implement flank encirclement, and then one army to be deployed near Laishui, and after the Weifu army entered the encirclement, they would quickly attack and cut off the retreat of the Weifu army. After the three armies responsible for deceiving and luring the enemy withdrew to the city of Yicheng for a short rest, one army made preparations, and the other two armies returned to the battle. ”

"In today's battle, we invested ten armies with nearly 40,000 soldiers, while the other side only had 6,000 Xiaoguo." Zuo Junheng said that he couldn't help but show a smug look here, "There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and we also occupy the advantage of the terrain, and find out the reality of the opponent, the advantage is obvious, if there is help from the heavens, we will be able to completely annihilate the opponent." ”

Zuo Junheng's last sentence still exposed his true psychology and lack of confidence. But this is normal, the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace are in the Linshuo Palace three hundred miles away, and the alliance army is besieging and annihilating his Praetorian Guards under the nose of the Holy Lord, this is no longer "touching the tiger's butt", but openly "fighting" the tiger, openly "arguing" with the Holy Lord, in this situation, even if the alliance army has a great advantage, it may not be able to completely annihilate the opponent, after all, the consequences of completely angering the Holy Lord are too serious and terrible.

"Don't be underestimated." Zhen Baoche immediately issued a warning, and relayed in detail what Li Zixiong said about the internal situation of the Xiaoguo Army and the bravery of Wu Benlang's general Yin Shishi, "The top priority of the alliance is to survive, and it is to gain a foothold in Yanbei, so the life of every soldier is very precious, and we must not pay a heavy price for a simple victory." ”

"In today's battle, our purpose is to encircle the opponent, not to annihilate the opponent." Yuan An immediately explained that the primary goal of the alliance's struggle on the battlefield in Shanggu was to win more initiative for the alliance and win more living space for the alliance.

Only then did Guo Ming and the Zuo brothers have a comprehensive understanding of the entire battle situation, and their confidence has greatly increased, and they immediately consulted Li Fengyun whether they agreed with their proposed combat deployment.

"Good!" Li Fengyun was decisive in killing, and the final word was made, "According to this plan, set up an ambush to attack." ”
