On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Li Zixiong led his army to arrive at Buyeo City, and so far, more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the Andong Expeditionary Force have all entered the Goguryeo battlefield. Ethereal.2.

The three Li gathered, Li Fengyun first informed Li Zixiong in detail of Huaiyuan's rejection and resistance to Anton's army, although these messages mainly came from Cui Hongsheng's secret letter and the hint of Xue Wanche, the general of Fuyu, which had a certain one-sidedness, but Li Zixiong was convinced, and Li Hun's attitude was the same before, for no other reason, both of them were military bosses, both were commanders of Weifu, and they both knew that the authority, dignity and glory of Weifu could not be desecrated, and the Third Crusade happened to be a battle in which Weifu resolutely defended its authority, dignity and glory.

Then Li Fengyun made the decision to take the middle road and attack Pyongyang, and then asked Li Zixiong for his opinion.

Li Zixiong's attitude is exactly the same as Li Hun's, and he resolutely supports this decision. In fact, both of them were reluctant to go south to Huaiyuan to rendezvous, especially Li Zixiong, after the rendezvous, not only had to face his former colleagues and subordinates, but also faced the Holy Lord, surrounded by political enemies, dangers lurked, and the slightest carelessness would lead to the extinction of life and death, so he was worried, but because of Pei Shiju's power and Li Fengyun's strength, it was inconvenient to reveal his heart. Now, in order to adapt to the new situation and changes, Li Fengyun took the initiative to change the strategy of the Eastern Crusade, which just met his wishes, and of course he raised his hands in favor.

In the evening of the same day, San Li convened the generals and chieftains of the expeditionary force to discuss and officially announced a new attack strategy.

There are many dissenters to this decision, and there are many voices of doubt, among which the most questioned are the legitimacy of this decision and the grain and grass crisis.

The Andong Expeditionary Force no longer went south to Huaiyuan to join the main force, but instead attacked Pyongyang all the way, directly affecting and even destroying the decision of the Holy Lord, the center and the Eastern Expedition Command, this consequence is too serious, not only has the responsibility of resisting the decree and abusing power, once it leads to the failure of the Third Eastern Expedition or even failure, it is the capital crime of killing the head, San Li as the highest decision-making level of the Andong Expeditionary Force, the culprit, of course, must be beheaded, other generals, chieftains have also suffered, and if they do not die, they will also shed their skin. This obviously harmed the interests of the majority of the people, especially the vital interests of Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and other fallen nobles, and of course aroused a lot of doubts.

The Anton Expeditionary Force has a large number of people, a large scale, more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians consume huge daily grain and grass, after the official start of the Eastern Expedition, all the way to the siege of the city, the damage of grain and grass weapons is even more amazing, so only by Anton's own strength, can not solve the serious shortage of grain and grass weapons, only by going south to Huaiyuan to meet the main force, by the Eastern Expeditionary Headquarters unified allocation of military supplies, in order to effectively solve this crisis, but now the Anton Expeditionary Force has to attack Pyongyang all the way by itself, to rely on its own strength to support the needs of more than 200,000 troops, Obviously, it is seriously detached from reality, and it is simply a fool's dream.

Fortunately, even if Li Fengyun's descendants have doubts, they will not openly oppose it, after all, Li Fengyun has repeatedly created miracles, and the myth of invincibility makes them extremely trust Li Fengyun, almost blindly worshipped, and most of the tribal chieftains are also persuaded by Li Fengyun, plus they are very afraid of the Holy Lord of Middle-earth and the Middle-earth Guardian Army, and the advantages of keeping a safe distance from the bloodthirsty tigers obviously outweigh the disadvantages, so the real objections to this decision are the fallen nobles within the alliance, but, because Li Zixiong, Li Hun's attitude was enough to affect a large number of people, and in the end, there were only a few people left, such as Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yang Gongdao, and Yu Rou, who were weak and powerless to stop each other, so they could only passively accept it.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, San Li discussed the specific attack deployment with Chen Rui, Han Yao, Yuan An and other high-level members of the alliance, and at this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly reported to Li Fengyun that the twelve ladies of the Cui family came from Huaiyuan Town day and night.

Li Fengyun was taken aback, something was abnormal, something must have happened in Huaiyuan, which was enough to affect the major events of the Eastern Crusade situation, otherwise it would be impossible for the twelve ladies of the Cui family to leave her father and risk her life to go to Fuyu to find herself.

Li Fengyun looked solemn and hurried away, without even saying a reason, which made Li Hun, Li Zixiong and others very surprised, and a trace of gloom swept through their hearts, and a sense of foreboding arose.

Seeing Cui Yu, Li Fengyun pretended to be calm, greeted warmly, and did not ask directly, after all, the two sides are only a cooperative relationship, and the personal relationship is not deep, on the contrary, there are some grievances, and each other is wary.

Cui Yu was straightforward and straight to the point, "Did you expect the arrival of your son, or were you surprised?" ”

As soon as Li Fengyun heard it, he knew that the accident in Huaiyuan was related to him, so Cui Shi became suspicious of himself, and this may be the reason why Cui Yu came thousands of miles regardless of the danger. Li Fengyun groaned a little and said with a smile, "Of course I was surprised." I thought that even if we said goodbye, it should be Pyongyang, but the army had not yet attacked, but the twenty ladies fell from the sky, which was really a surprise. ”

Cui Yu's eyes were staring at Li Fengyun tightly, trying to see something from the change in Li Fengyun's expression.

"The mouth is not right." Cui Yu sneered, "You're cheating." ”

Li Fengyun laughed, "Since you have seen through the Twelve Ladies, let's tell the truth." You must have brought bad news to so-and-so, so so-and-so was surprised by your arrival, but not happy. ”

Cui Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Guess what, what bad news did Er bring you?" ”

"Extrapolating from the time, the Holy Lord's car should be in Liaoxi now, and it has not yet arrived in Huaiyuan, so if there is bad news, it should also come from Yuwenshu and Guo Rong......" Speaking of this, Li Fengyun suddenly thought of someone, "Or, King Qi?" ”

Cui Yu said no, looked at Li Fengyun intently, and did not let go of any change in Li Fengyun's expression.

"Could it be...... Huaiyuan's side insisted that Anton's army go south to rendezvous? But Li Fengyun immediately denied this speculation, if Huaiyuan's side insisted that Andong's army go south to rendezvous, it would not be bad news at all, and it would not let Cui Yu work tirelessly and travel thousands of miles to Fuyu.

"Could it be...... Huaiyuan's side is determined to kill my Anton? ”

Cui Yu scoffed, "Huaiyuan has clearly hinted to you that he doesn't want your Andong Army to go south, and you won't go south to Huaiyuan at all, in this case, where did you get the killer?" ”

Li Fengyun thought for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and bowed to Cui Yu, "I can't guess, and I ask the twelve ladies to tell me bluntly." ”

Cui Yu glanced at Li Fengyun and said with a pun, "Are you really unable to guess, or are you deliberately cheating?" ”

Li Fengyun frowned slightly. Cui Yu suspected that he had deceived her, and there was no other relationship or promise between himself and her except for cooperation on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, so there should be bad news, and it should be bad news related to the Eastern Crusade.

"Could it be...... There were unpredictable changes in the country, forcing the Holy Lord and the Central Center to change the decision of the Eastern Crusade, causing Yuwenshu and Guo Rong to adjust the attack deployment, so there was a direct conflict with the attack plan of our Anton Army? Li Fengyun asked suspiciously, "Is it that the start of the Eastern Crusade has been seriously delayed?" Or was the crusade temporarily suspended? ”

Is there a deviation between the history and reality in the memory because of one's own appearance? Is the butterfly effect beginning to manifest, causing the trajectory of history to shift? Li Fengyun was not sure, secretly worried, and even worried that the Third Eastern Crusade would die halfway.

Li Fengyun's performance weakened Cui Yu's suspicions, but Li Fengyun was scheming, insidious and cunning, and various means emerged in endlessly, Cui Yu was afraid because he knew him, he was afraid that he would be deceived, and he was afraid that the Cui family would unfortunately fall victim to the imperial war again.

Cui Yu shook his hand at Li Fengyun, "No, it's not, although the matter is not as serious as you think, it is also a matter of life and death." It's just that you are suspicious of you, and you have to swear that you have not cheated. ”

Seeing Cui Yu's rare appearance of a child, Li Fengyun smiled dumbly, and categorically refused without thinking, "No matter how serious the matter is, it can't change a certain determination to conquer Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, so you don't have to say it." ”

Cui Yu changed color suddenly, "If you didn't cheat, why don't you dare to swear?" ”

"Why did so-and-so swear to you? What problems can the oath solve? If it is a matter of vital interests for both you and me, how can you do such a child's play? ”

Cui Yu was furious, "That day in Baima, you not only wanted to blackmail your son, but also almost killed your son, you owe your son a life, just by virtue of this life, you should swear to your son, you did not cheat." ”

Li Fengyun was dumbfounded, and a strange emotion suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart, but in an instant, he snuffed it out again.

"As you wish." Li Fengyun stood up, respectfully bowed, and solemnly swore an oath.

Cui Yu replied with joy and triumphant.

Li Fengyun sat precariously and said nothing.

"The king of Qi left Huaiyuan on March 26, and in the name of patrolling the border to comfort him, he rushed north to Fuyu."

Before Cui Yu finished speaking, Li Fengyun's expression had changed greatly.

The king of Qi went north to Fuyu, and he would inevitably join the Anton army, and he would inevitably attack Pyongyang with the Anton army, so that it would inevitably create the illusion that the king of Qi and Anton had formed an alliance, and the political consequences were too serious, not only would the holy lord and the center believe that Li Pingyuan was deliberately deceiving, but also pulled Pei Shiju into the water, so with the victory of the Third Eastern Crusade, the Great War between the North and the South had not yet begun, but the Great War of Imperial Unification had started in advance.

This is something Li Fengyun did not expect.

The reason why he broke off his cooperation with the King of Qi and persuaded Li Zixiong and Li Hun to give up their support for the King of Qi was mainly because the King of Qi first reneged on the agreement, and the King of Qi first "surrendered" to the Holy Lord, which led to the desperate situation of all the forces supporting him.

However, who would have expected that at the critical moment when the Eastern Crusade was about to begin, the King of Qi would go north to Fuyu to join Anton's army, which was tantamount to openly confronting the Holy Lord, and publicly telling the Holy Lord and the center that Pei Shiju, Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, Li Hun and other forces were all on his precarious broken boat, and everyone was in the same boat, with the help of the Third Eastern Crusade to show strength, and then conspire with the emperor.

This is a declaration of war against the Holy Lord.

And this is also a fatal knife for the ambitious Anton.
