On the first month, Huan Gongdu, the general camp of the alliance.

New year, new atmosphere, but for the alliance, the prospects are still not good, internal and external troubles coexist, there are officials and troops encircled and suppressed, and there is a danger of money and food inside, fortunately, the eastern capital has moved the second eastern crusade, the pressure of external troubles has been temporarily eased, and the internal worries have become more and more strict with the gradual expansion of the team, at this moment there is no need for Li Fengyun to warn, the heroes are aware of the strict nature of the crisis, and they are very consciously stopped the pace of blind expansion, and they are very willing to speed up the degree of integration into the alliance, so as to maintain their own strength at the same time, Be able to get more money and food support from the alliance.

Only Li Fengyun's strength in the alliance is still rising, he won the southern expedition to Xuzhou, and all the prisoners were integrated into the three armies of the inner government, so that the strength of the three armies of the inner government reached more than 50,000 regiments and more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Although the strength is temporarily preserved, but in the special period of war to nourish the war, if you don't fight, there will be no spoils, and the consequence of sitting on the mountain is that the strength of the mountain is "plummeting".

At the New Year's military meeting, Shi Chenrui, the head of the alliance who came from Mengshan, gave a detailed explanation to the commanders on the imbalance of the alliance's revenue and expenditure.

Alliance Sima Yuan An came up with two countermeasures, the choice is to grab territory, for this reason, the alliance must join forces with all the heroes in northeast Lu to attack Qi County and defeat Zhang Xutuo. Only in this way can the Qilu Righteous Army actually control Qi County and Lu County.

Qi County and Lu County are the core areas of the Qilu region, and controlling these two counties, and then taking Jibei County and Beihai County into their hands, is equivalent to controlling most of the counties of Qilu, which can basically feed all the rebel teams in Qilu. The three counties of Donglai, Gaomi and Langya in the southeast of Qilu have poor geographical location and limited financial endowments, coupled with the involvement of the Donglai Naval Division and the Eastern Expedition, the attack is difficult and the military value is small, so it will not be considered for the time being

Seizing Qilu and using Qilu as the base of the righteous army is the best strategy for the survival and development of the righteous army, but this strategy has been frustrated again and again, and it is still in the stage of "talking on paper".

According to Li Fengyun's assumption, if this strategy can be set up around the New Year, the Hebei Righteous Army and the heroic Wang Bo will cross the river south first to attract Zhang Xutuo's attention, and contain Zhang Xutuo's army on the Jishui line, and then the alliance army and Meng Rang, Zuo Junheng and others' Northeast Lu Righteous Army will launch an east-west attack on Qi County, and finally the three-way righteous army will meet in Jishui, and the three-way righteous army will attack Zhang Xutuo, and it will be decided in a battle.

The reason why Li Fengyun wanted to gather the forces of the three-way rebels to encircle Zhang Xutuo was to defeat Zhang Xutuo with an advantage and fight a decisive battle, so that the rebels could free up their hands to deal with the Donglai Naval Division and deal with the slaughter from the Eastern Capital, so that it was possible to achieve the final victory.

On the contrary, if only the alliance army and the scattered northeastern Lu righteous army attacked Zhang Xutuo from east to west, there is no absolute advantage in strength, and it is very likely to break Zhang Xutuo, take a step back and say, even if the two righteous armies work together to defeat Zhang Xutuo, their own losses are incalculable, once they kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, what will they do next to hold their ground?

If the rebel army can't grab the territory, doesn't have a rich base to feed itself, and always stays in Mengshan, a place where birds don't, and is trapped in the land of four wars in southwest Lu, then under the front and back attack of the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops outside and without the support of money and food inside, it is too difficult to survive, and sooner or later they will be surrounded and killed by the officers and soldiers, so they must go out of Mengshan and go out of southwest Lu, they must fight to support the war, and they must turn the passive into the active, this is the second countermeasure that Sima Yuan'an came up with, turning to war.

Turning to war is an active strategy, and it is an active confrontation against the crisis, but if you keep turning to war, burning, killing and plundering all the way, and always struggling on the line of life and death, there is definitely no way out, and it is still a dead end after all under the encirclement and interception of the official army, so the real purpose of the war is to find a piece of territory, rely on this territory to support yourself, and expand yourself.

The two countermeasures that Sima Yuan'an came up with are actually the same goal, both of them are to grab the territory, but one is a purposeful robbery, and the other is a big luck. From the standpoint of the heroes, no one wants to leave their hometown, and they have taken advantage of the time and place in their hometown, and they have turned to a foreign country and gone to a strange place, and they are not familiar with the place, and the difficulty of survival can be imagined.

So everyone put their energy on attacking Qi County, but after repeated discussions, everyone had to face a reality, after the Hebei Righteous Army basically did not have the possibility of crossing the river to the south, if the alliance continued to implement this strategy, it must fight with all its might, and could not expect too much from Meng Rang, Zuo Junheng and others in northeast Lu, it would only be a bad thing, but only relying on the alliance's own strength, it would be impossible to decide on a war, and the two sides would fight repeatedly, so that the battle would take a long time, which would give Donglai Sailors to support Zhang Xutuo to win time, Once the Donglai Naval Division enters the battlefield of Qi County, the alliance will be defeated.

The reason why the alliance has persisted until now, and has a certain strength and scale, is because it is invincible, invincible, and always marching on the road of high development. Military victory and profit gain are the two foundations for maintaining the alliance, and once these two foundations collapse, the alliance collapses. The alliance collapsed, and the heroes fought separately, giving the officers and troops a chance to break through, and it was predictable that defeat was only a matter of time.

This poor outlook has forced the heroes to study the strategy of "switching to war".

Last summer's expedition to the Central Plains in the west, the plundering of the Tongji Canal, and this winter's march to Xuzhou in the south and the Qinghe River in the north, are all successful examples of the "transfer war" policy, and these successful "transfer wars" have indeed promoted the development and growth of the alliance, but there are gains and losses, with the continuous growth of the alliance, the demand for money and grain is also increasing, and it is difficult to continue by plundering, and it is necessary to have a piece of territory sufficient to support itself. If there is no territory, the road of the alliance exhibition is cut off, and the alliance will definitely die, and if you want not to die, you can only "turn to war" and nourish the war with war, but the alliance has grown, and the "appetite" is already very large, and the income from the captivity can only be maintained for a while, if you want to solve the problem of food and clothing for a long time, if you want to develop and grow to realize the lofty ideal of princely generals, you must find a piece of land.

As a result, the study of the strategy of "switching to war" has actually become a search for territory, looking for a place where the future alliance will dominate the world, and this territory needs to meet at least three conditions, one is to be rich, at least self-sufficient in money and food; Second, the geographical conditions are good, there must be a broad offensive and defensive space, to advance and retreat can be defended, to have the potential to show, such as Henan, the offensive and defensive space is large, but it is a place of four wars, there is no danger to defend, with the current strength of the alliance if it is based on Henan and purely looking for death, such as Mengshan, can be attacked and defended, but the offensive and defensive space is too narrow, which is equivalent to a cage trapped in a corner, unable to support the alliance to continue to develop, if the alliance continues to stay in Mengshan, it is equivalent to locking itself in a cage and waiting to die; Third, it is most important to be able to win enough space and time for oneself to develop in politics, whether it is Henan or Qilu, the chaos of the situation directly threatens the stability of the Eastern Capital in politics, so it is certain that as long as the Eastern Crusade is over, the Eastern Capital will inevitably encircle and suppress it, and the reason why the alliance has been struggling in the shadow of death from beginning to end is also the same, because the Eastern Capital does not allow them to survive, and the Eastern Capital must be killed quickly.

For the heroes, it is easy to find a site that meets these three basic conditions. Jiang Zuo was excluded first, Jiang Zuo was indeed rich, but Shandong people went to Jiangzuo to grab territory, how could Jiang Zuo people agree? Besides, Jiangzuo is the place where the Holy Lord rises, which is equivalent to the "hometown" of the Holy Lord, and the consequences of grabbing land in the "hometown" of the Holy Lord can be imagined. Guanlong is also excluded, that is the auspicious place of this dynasty, the place of origin, the rebels of Shandong killed Guanlong? Something I can't even think of. In the end, only Shandong is the only choice, and the rebels in Shandong do not rely on Shandong, but on whom? And history has proved with its experience of more than 2,000 years that Shandong has the most dragons and dive places, and they are all at the foot of Taihang Mountain, from west to east, in order of Taiyuan, Daibei and Youyan.

These three places are ideal for the foundation of kingship, and as far as the current situation in Middle-earth is concerned, if the alliance wants to occupy any of these three places, it must first cross the river to the north, move to Hebei, and win the support of the Hebei people, and then it can cross the Taihang Mountain, wait for the opportunity to attack Taiyuan to the west, Daiheng to the north, and Youyan to the east, to find a suitable territory. But these are not the biggest obstacles encountered by the alliance in the process of changing the war, the biggest obstacle comes from the desert, from the north, and the foreign enemy is the strongest opponent that the alliance has encountered in the process of exhibition. It is precisely because of the importance of the defense of the northern frontier, because the eastern capital needs to unite all the forces of the northern frontier against the northern captives, that the eastern capital will tolerate the existence of the rebel forces in a special period and in a certain way, and this tolerance of the eastern capital is the space and time that the alliance most urgently needs in the process of development.

What is a special period? What is tolerance on a certain degree? Only then did the heroes know Li Fengyun's "far-sightedness". Li Fengyun's prediction for the future is that the Eastern Expedition has been going on for three consecutive years, and the Eastern Capital has lost its people and money, and what is even stricter is that the domestic situation has been chaotic, the defense of the Northern Xinjiang has been weakened, the Northern War has roared down, the Great War between the North and the South has exploded, the Middle Earth is worried about internal and external troubles, and the Eastern Capital has suffered from the enemy. On the contrary, in order to resist the northern captives and win the Great War between the North and the South, the Eastern Capital not only tolerated the existence of the rebel forces, but also used the rebel forces to attack the northern captives and strengthen the northern defense line, which not only gave the alliance space and time to expand, but also gave the alliance the opportunity to seize and consolidate its territory.

If we think about it again, if the alliance still stubbornly stuck to Mengshan and barely survived during the special period, then before and after the Great War of the North and South, the eastern capital was the largest to stabilize the domestic situation, and it was inevitable to increase the intensity of encirclement and suppression, and the alliance was very likely to be defeated. In order to prevent trouble before it happens, and in order to realize its lofty ideals, the alliance must take advantage of the time when the Eastern Capital is doing its best to go to the Second Eastern Crusade to find a path full of hope for itself, instead of sitting on Mengshan Mountain and waiting for death.

However, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, the difficulty of "turning to war" is too great, there are too many difficulties encountered, and the uncertain factors are difficult to estimate, compared with the bad prospect of the alliance and the northeastern Lu rebel army attacking Qi County, the prospect of "turning to war" is even worse. The lesser of two evils, the heroes invariably shelved the "transfer of war" and turned their energies to attack Qi County again.

Li Fengyun accepts the choice of the heroes, but this strategy is related to the future of the alliance, and the alliance must fight with all its might, so all the armies of the alliance must enter Qi County to fight, and it can no longer be like last year, Li Fengyun and his descendants are charging in front, while the heroes are sitting in the back and enjoying their success.

Li Fengyun is already strong enough to threaten and even decide the life and death of other heroes, so this time he is very strong, he wants to concentrate military power, and he wants the heroes to obey their words, otherwise he can't guarantee that the alliance has a chance to win this battle.
