Huo Xiaohan couldn't understand, he asked Li Fengyun, "Could it be that in the eyes of Duke Ming, the strength of the alliance is strong enough to compete with the elite division of the Eastern Capital?" ”

Li Fengyun asked rhetorically, "In the eyes of Chief Manager Huo, could it be that the victory in the first battle of Jishui was because the alliance strength had grown?" I asked Manager Huo again, how can you conclude that after we evacuate the Tongji Canal, the crisis of the Tongji Canal will be lifted, the waterway of the Tongji Canal will be safe, and the Eastern Capital will no longer send a rebel army? ”

Huo Xiaohan opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but immediately thought of the many suspense points of the Jishui battle, and thought of Li Fengyun's repeated admonitions at military meetings, so he closed his mouth again.

The battle situation of Tongji Canal is closely related to the political situation of the Eastern Capital, and if you want to see through the battle situation of Tongji Canal, you must stand at the height of the political situation of the Eastern Capital and examine the overall situation from a bird's-eye perspective. At this moment, the alliance will accept it when it sees a good situation and withdraw its troops back to Qiluzhan in a timely manner, which is indeed in line with the interests of the alliance, but it is contrary to the interests of the large and small political forces in the eastern capital. In this case, if the alliance ignores the overall situation and escapes, and strictly endangers the interests of the eastern capital government, then the result can be imagined, and the alliance will be besieged like a storm and destroyed overnight.

Li Fengyun looked at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice, "The strength of the Eastern Capital is undoubted. You are afraid, and you are afraid, but if you retreat because you are afraid, then what is the future? Then why did we raise the flag in the first place, and also create a rebellion in the Eastern Capital? ”

Zhen Baoche was a little uncomfortable when he heard this. At the beginning, the rebellion was cornered, there was no way, anyway, it was all death, it was better to explode, and when you were dying, you had to pull a cushion on your back, and you wanted to let the government bleed a little and suffer a little pain, but now the situation is different, the alliance has tens of thousands of soldiers, and you can no longer be "single" as a commander in the past, everything must be based on the interests of the alliance, and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers must be the priority, and you can't know that the confrontation with the Eastern Capital army is self-defeating, and you just don't know whether to fight alive or dead, isn't that arrogant and hot-headed?

"Ming Gong, knowing that it can't be done, it's not brave, it's really unwise." Zhen Baoche said this very politely

"Manager Zhen said it well." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "We continue to stay in Tongjiqu, it is true that we know that it is impossible, unwise, let alone brave, but this is a world of the jungle, the rules of this world are made by the strong, and many rules are not suitable for the survival of the weak." The strength of today's Eastern Capital and the Alliance, just like elephants and ants, is not comparable, if the Alliance wants to fight against the Eastern Capital, it is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, purely self-defeating, so the survival of today's Alliance actually has a premise, that is, it must seek skin with the tiger. ”

If the emperor is a lion, then the wealthy family is a big tiger, and the alliance is a wild wolf. Lions and tigers have their own territory, and wild wolves are just their food, if the wild wolves want to live longer, they can only survive in the cracks of the strong, and take advantage of the contradictions between lions and tigers to survive. Now the tiger's goal is to drive away the lion, but once the lion is driven away, the tiger becomes the master of the grassland, and the days of the wild wolf are numbered, so the wolf's survival plan is very simple, not only to help the tiger drive away the lion, but also to let the lion and the tiger fully realize the importance of the wild wolf to them, so that both sides want to use the sharp knife of the wild wolf to hit the opponent, only in this way can the wild wolf live, only if the wild wolf survives can the wild wolf become the master of the grassland, on the contrary, If the wild wolf takes advantage of the lions and tigers and then turns around and flees, it will immediately become the public enemy of the grassland, and it is difficult not to die.

However, whether it is a human being or an animal, they are selfish by nature, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, fearing death and happy life, especially in the face of powerful opponents, knowing that there is no life and death, and lacking the courage to put it to death and live later.

Everyone understands the truth that Li Fengyun said, but it is a matter of their own interests, and everyone turns a blind eye to these truths. Is it beneficial to seek skin with a tiger? If the wild wolf can make skin with the tiger, it must be a genius, and the tiger must also be a stupid tiger, but in the real world, how can there be a stupid tiger that you can peel?

Everyone in the tent was silent, and the atmosphere was a little stiff, obviously skeptical of Li Fengyun's decision. Now Li Fengyun's prestige in the alliance can be said to be in full swing, and there is no difference for a while, but at present, everyone has to weigh it again and again, and he will not blindly obey it.

Li Mi was anxious.

Li Fengyun kept his promise and insisted on staying on the battlefield of Tongjiqu, which made him very happy, although Li Fengyun had let Wei Yunqi go without authorization, which brought uncertain variables to the political situation in the eastern capital, and affected the overall plan between him and Yang Xuangan, the prince of Xiaoyue, but Li Fengyun was not an ordinary person after all, and he saw the situation very clearly at the critical moment, and the alliance army must stay to defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi, in order to win the political situation that is beneficial to the alliance, and only in this way can the alliance survive the most difficult period in the future. That is to say, if the alliance retreats now and obtains the immediate benefits, but loses the political situation that is beneficial to it, the final price is rapid defeat, on the contrary, if the alliance now pays a certain price and seeks a political situation that is beneficial to itself, then it will definitely win the opportunity for itself to survive and develop in the future.

However, what is the political situation in favor of the alliance? How many people in the alliance know this invisible and intangible thing and understand its importance to the alliance? How attractive is it to the alliance compared to the tangible benefits in front of it? If it can't even be conquered by the officials of the Alliance Command, how much influence can it have on the generals of the Thirteenth Army of the Alliance?

Li Fengyun has always demanded that the generals of the alliance must look at the problems on the local battlefield from the perspective of the entire political situation in China and Turkey, and this method of "taking precautions" still played a little role, but the effect was limited, after all, it was impossible for all the generals to have a far-sighted view and a high level of vision, and all of them had great wisdom and vision. Although the generals did not openly oppose Li Fengyun's decision, the wait-and-see and skeptical attitude still hindered the implementation of the decision, and then Li Fengyun could only rely on his personal prestige to forcibly suppress the different voices within the alliance, however, the consequences of this action were strict, and under the imminent unpredictable pressure, the alliance may collapse.

What Li Mi had to do to help Li Fengyun convince the Alliance Command that he must make the Alliance Command resolutely implement this decision, otherwise, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.

"The reason why we know that we can't do it is not because we are carried away by the results in the early stage, but because there is a reason." Li Mi took the initiative to stand up and give a deep explanation for Li Fengyun's decision.

"Since the death of Prince Yuande, the core of the political situation in the eastern capital is the struggle for imperial unity. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and similarly, the country cannot be without a prince for a day, but Prince Yuande has been dead for six years, and the position of the prince is still high. Yang Lan, the king of Qi, should have entered the East Palace as a matter of course, but after six years of hard work, he not only failed to enter the East Palace, but became farther and farther away from the position of the prince. ”

The most obvious example is that the emperor's expedition to Goguryeo, far away from Middle-earth for more than half a year, whether according to historical conventions or legal systems, and whether from the perspective of national security, it is necessary to arrange a person to sit in Kyoto to act as an agent for state affairs, even if there is no prince, to arrange a prince, and then a group of central ministers to assist the left and right, to ensure the stability of the domestic political situation.

However, according to the current situation in Middle-earth, the emperor remotely commands domestic affairs on the Far Eastern battlefield thousands of miles away, and everything is extremely inefficient. With the intelligence of the emperor and the wisdom of the center, why should he take such a big political risk?

Obviously, the battle for the imperial dominance of the Eastern Capital was too fierce, so fierce that it had affected the stability of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, but the emperor and the center were eager to move the Eastern Crusade, and at the same time, the emperor and the central center were unwilling or did not dare to rashly establish the prince, which made the contradictions in the Eastern Capital very complicated, and the conflict on the political throne was extremely sharp, so there was an unbelievable scene, the emperor and the central center poured out of the nest to expedition to Goguryeo, and the emperor's palace became a moving political center in the actual sense. And the eastern capital is just a false appearance of a Beijing master, but in fact it is an empty city.

The emperor set up an empty city plan, and there is still a Mr. Kong Ming who sings the leading role in the empty city plan, but in today's Eastern Capital, there is not even a leading role, from Qi Wang Yang Lan down to the remaining Zaizhi, they are all supporting roles, a group of soy sauce players, no one can be the master, no one can be the master.

Or, this is the purpose of the emperor's empty city plan, but the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Although this group of soy sauce beaters can't be the emperor's lord or the lord of the eastern capital, they can be their own lord. Since you dare to set up an empty city plan, I will dare to kill into the city, and when I change the banner of the king at the head of the city, you will not be able to do the affairs of the Eastern Capital, and you may not even be able to be the master of the affairs of Middle Earth.

When it comes to this, the results are about to come out. The difficulty of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, entering the East Palace in a normal way, was even greater than the difficulty of him directly seizing the throne by mutiny, so Yu Bian did not stop doing two things, did not explode in silence, and died in silence.

If Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was determined to seize the throne by mutiny, then it is easy to understand that Wei Yunqi was defeated by Jishui

Wei Yunqi released the bait, the alliance army swallowed it in one bite, and then took the bait, and then the alliance fish broke free from the hook and escaped, or made meat on the chopping board and let the king of Qi Yang Lan slaughter, it doesn't matter, anyway, the king of Qi Yang Lan only needs a reason to go out of Beijing to fight the chaos, as long as he is out of Beijing, the army is brought out, and the military power is in hand, then he is the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, and he can do whatever he wants.

Herein lies the crux of the matter. If he wants to get military power and take away the army, he must win the support of a large group of soy sauce players in the eastern capital, otherwise they will be involved in each other, and he will not be able to get out of the "big net" of the eastern capital at all. But how could the group of soy sauce players in the Eastern Capital support King Yang Lan of Qi? How could they all kidnap themselves on the chariot driven by Yang Lan, the king of Qi? Therefore, the reason why Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was able to go out of Beijing to fight the rebellion was because many people in the eastern capital wanted to put him to death, they all wanted to provoke father and son cannibalism, provoke a civil war, and they all wanted to deliberately mess up the political situation in Middle-earth for personal gain.

This returns to the essence of the political situation in the Eastern Capital. The essence of the political situation in the Eastern Capital is the struggle for power and wealth by the ruling class, and reform is the best means for the ruling class to redistribute power and wealth. The reforms that the emperor was implementing violated the interests of the majority of the clans, and for this reason, the nobles whose interests were damaged not only wanted to overthrow the reforms and overthrow the emperor, but also the cause of the unification of Middle-earth, which was the root cause of the reforms.

From this reverse inference, it is not difficult to see that after the end of the First Battle of Jishui, the Tongji Canal will also be interrupted, and the interruption of the Tongji Canal, while giving the King of Qi Yang a reason to go out of the Beijing Rebellion, also gave a fatal blow to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and finally the Eastern Expedition fell short, and the cannibalism between father and son was inevitable under the deliberate promotion of the large and small political forces in the Eastern Capital.

Since the Tongji Canal must be interrupted, and since the crime of interrupting the Tongji Canal must be put on the head of the "fish" of the alliance, where will the fish of the alliance escape? Since Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is definitely going to go out of the capital to fight the rebellion, and since he is determined to quickly increase his strength in the name of the rebellion, the faster and farther the alliance escapes, the faster he will encircle and suppress it, and the larger the scope of the rebellion, and in the end, the alliance will definitely die. The alliance was defeated, and the king of Qi Yang Lan took the opportunity to grow, and the emperor happened to be frustrated on the expeditionary battlefield, so the large and small political forces in the eastern capital were more sure to "support" the king of Qi Yang Lan to mutiny.

Is the earth-shattering prediction of the imminent civil war in Middle-earth accurate? The alliance officials were frightened and suspicious, but there was one thing they believed in Li Mi's speculation, that is, the Tongji Canal was about to be interrupted, even if the alliance army hurriedly withdrew, the Tongji Canal would also be interrupted, anyway, the charges were all of the alliance, so why didn't the nobles who wanted to confuse the situation in Middle-earth add fuel to the fire and release the caged tiger of Qi King Yang Lan out of the cage? Once this tiger is released, its ambitions have swelled, and the wild wolves in the eastern capital, whether they are sincere or false, follow behind to "wave the flag and shout" to help the prestige, so how can the father and son be spared?

So the current situation is a dead end for the alliance, if you don't run away, you will die, and if you run, you will die, so what else will you run away from? Yu Crisp stayed on the battlefield of Tongjiqu and survived.

So where is the vitality of the alliance? Where is the hope for the Alliance's survival?

"Do your best, no matter the cost, fight to the death, and defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi."

Li Mishi's shocking words made the alliance officials dumbfounded.

"Which forces in the Eastern Capital want to overthrow the reform and overthrow the emperor the most?" Li Mi asked himself, "Of course, he is the nobleman who has lost the most interests. ”

"Which nobles in the Eastern Capital have the most to lose? Of course, it is the aristocracy with the most vested interests. ”

"Which nobles in the Eastern Capital have the most vested interests? Of course, it is the Guanlong nobles and the Guanlong people. ”

"As long as it is something that Guanlong people want to do, it is something that we Shandong people resolutely oppose." Li Mi waved his hand, his momentum was like a rainbow, "Guan Long people oppose reform, we support reform; The Guanlong people oppose the emperor, and we support the emperor; If the Guanlong people want to put the king of Qi Yang Lan to death, to provoke the cannibalism of father and son, and to provoke a civil war, we will protect the king of Qi Yang Lan, and nip the opponent's conspiracy in the bud. ”

"How to protect King Qi Yang Lan? How to stifle the conspiracy of the Guanlong people? ”

Li Mi waved his hand again, calm and relaxed, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and it seemed that everything in the world was in the palm of his hand, "On the battlefield of Tongji Canal, defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi." ”

Defeat Yang Lan, King of Qi? Defeat the Eastern Capital Garrison? With the current strength of the alliance army, confronting the Eastern Capital Weifu Army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, but there are many things hidden in Li Mi's words, if the Shandong people in the opponent's camp are all on the side of the alliance, they are all secretly helping the alliance, and they are pulling the back legs of the Guanlong people, then who dares to say that there will be no miracles on the battlefield of Tongji Canal?

Huo Xiaohan no longer insisted on his opinion, and Zhen Baoche decided to wait and see. Li Fengyun himself is a legend, he raised the flag from Mangdang Mountain, to leap into Mengshan, to the west into the Central Plains, every battle is a miracle, since God favors Li Fengyun and allows him to create a miracle again and again, then maybe the miracle will continue. If Li Fengyun defeats Yang Lan, the king of Qi, then what he has created is not only a new miracle, but also the survival and development of the alliance, as well as the hope of the future king's great cause.

Xiao Yijian, who was a member of the military department, recorded the contents of this military meeting, especially Li Mi's in-depth analysis of the current situation, and conveyed it to all commanders-in-chief and officers at and above the general (government) level, so as to ensure that the generals of the alliance understood and supported the decision-making of the high command.

Li Fengyun accepted this proposal and ordered all the commanders' offices and all military officers at and above the general (prefecture) level to rush to the general camp in batches to participate in the military meeting, discuss and analyze the decision to stay on the Tongjiqu battlefield and fight the upcoming army of the Eastern Capital Rebellion, and formulate a more specific and detailed offensive and defensive strategy on the basis of understanding and support.

Wei Yunqi returned to Junyi City after defeat, and immediately reported to the emperor and the center on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, recounting in detail how he went out of Beijing to inspect the Tongji Canal, and exposed the truth about the rampant thieves in Henan with the defeat of Jishui. Wei Yunqi warned the emperor and the center that now the Tongji Canal is in a deep crisis, and the Tongji Canal will be interrupted at any time, and the East must send troops to fight the chaos as quickly as possible, and kill the Shandong thieves with thunder, otherwise the safety of the Tongji Canal will be difficult to guarantee, and the victory of the Eastern Expedition will be difficult to guarantee.

Wei Yunqi did not directly mention the role of the local forces in Henan in "fueling the troubles" in the current Tongjiqu crisis, but he was a Shandong thief and repeatedly used Henan thieves to insinuate the Henan aristocratic group, which in fact had pushed the Xingyang Zheng clan to the forefront, so it was not difficult for the emperor and the central center to estimate the bad course of the situation in the Central Plains and the immeasurable impact it had on the political situation in the Eastern Capital. Forced by the tension in the eastern capital and the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi, the importance of the Tongji Canal to the Eastern Crusade, and the sudden explosion of contradictions between the Guanlong and Shandong people, the emperor and the central government were bound to allow Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to cut first and then play, and use the power of temporary disposal to deal with the crisis.

At this moment, the emperor can only trust Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the purpose of placing Yang Lan, the king of Qi, in the eastern capital during the Eastern Expedition, is actually this, and as a last resort, he still has to use Yang Lan, the king of Qi, as a prince. As long as Qi Wang Yang Lan does a good job and does play the role of a prince, then the emperor and the center are also willing to let him see the hope of entering the East Palace, after all, after so many tribulations, Qi King Yang Lan should also be mature in politics, and he should also know what kind of ruling ideas he chooses to win the emperor's trust and be a qualified heir to the imperial system.

Wei Yunqi hurriedly reported to the Eastern Capital, to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to Shangshudu Province to stay in Zaizhi, and to the commander of the garrison army in the Eastern Capital, the interruption of the Tongji Canal is imminent, and the consequences of the interruption of the Tongji Canal will affect the fate of all the nobles and bureaucrats of the Eastern Capital and even the entire Middle Earth, so Wei Yunqi pleaded with the Eastern Capital to put aside the contradictions and conflicts for the time being, and make concerted efforts to suppress the chaos and thieves, and must make the decision to fight the chaos as quickly as possible, and must transfer troops out of Beijing as quickly as possible, and protect the Tongji Canal as quickly as possible.

Wei Yunqi hurriedly went to Xingyang Mansion to visit Yang Qing, the king of Xun, and rushed to the Zheng family's main hall in Xingyang.

In the first battle of Jishui, Wei Yunqi openly put King Xun and the Zheng family together, and slapped the royal family and the Zheng family in the face. The Zheng family has always been in a passive state, whether it is an alliance in politics or a military help, it is a passive response, and now the naked slap in the face of the Wei family can only knock out the teeth and swallow blood, and you have to endure it, but the royal family is different, Yang Qing, the king of Xun, is furious, especially on the eve of the battle of Yang Qianjishui, after Wei Yunqi's suicidal decision guessed the true purpose of his trip out of Beijing to inspect the Tongji Canal, Yang Qing, the king of Xun, was angry. If you slap me in the face, you are actually insulting my royal family, which is already unbearable, but you actually want to seek my imperial unity and harm my country, that is the enmity of life and death, and you will never die.

However, Yang Qing had no evidence, and he could only make countermeasures based on Yang Qian's inference. He believed in Yang Qian's inference and firmly believed that whether it was the deposition of the former crown prince Yang Yong or the mutiny of the Han king Yang Liang, the bloody facts proved that the battle for the imperial throne was very terrible, and in order to compete for the imperial unity, the people who were trapped in the whirlpool were crazy, only what they couldn't do, and nothing they couldn't think of.

The Eastern Crusade is related to the safety of the country, related to the fate of Middle-earth, once the Eastern Crusade fails, the consequences are unimaginable, but among those unimaginable consequences, it must include the change of the imperial system, and even the replacement of the dynasty, so Yang Qing has no choice, he must ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal, must ensure the victory of the Eastern Crusade, for this reason, all those who endanger the safety of the Tongji Canal are his enemies. Before, he formed an alliance with the Yuan, Dugu and other political forces, and the purpose was this, but under Wei's needle lead, he added the protection of Qi Wang Yang Lan, and now, Qi Wang Yang Lan and Wei have become potential "enemies", so there is no need for him to continue to maintain this political alliance.

Yang Qing and Wei Yunqi were vain, but secretly reached an agreement with the Zheng clan of Xingyang to defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi, at any cost, and only in this way could the safety of Tongji Canal be ensured.
