Zhai Rang did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he rushed back to the barracks with Shan Xiongxin and others on Pegasus, and summoned Zhai Hong, Jia Xiong, Shan Xiongzhong, Wang Yaohan, Wang Bodang brothers, Li Gongyi, Zhou Wenju, Wang Dangren and other brothers to discuss together.
Zhai Rang strictly guarded the secret, but told them that Li Fengyun was going to withdraw to Mengshan, and Li Fengyun took into account the difficulties of the Wagang people, such as they are all from Henan, and the soldiers under the tent are also from Henan, and there is a gap between them and the Qilu people, and it is not easy to get along, so he gave them the right to choose freely. Zhai Rang asked the brothers very solemnly for their opinions: should you leave, or stay?
Zhai Hong and Jia Xiong immediately realized that there was a mystery here. The best time for Li Fengyun to evacuate the Tongji Canal battlefield should be when Yang Nan, the king of Qi, led his army out of the pass, and now the army of the king of Qi has spread out along the line of Jishui, facing the alliance army head-on, the evacuation is very dangerous at this moment, Li Fengyun cannot not know, so there is only one reasonable explanation, during this period of time the negotiations between Li Fengyun and the king of Qi have come to an end, and the two sides have found common interests and reached some kind of secret agreement.
"Bai Shuai is gone, will King Qi stay in Tongji Canal, or will he follow and pursue?" Jia Xiong immediately asked, "Does Bai Shuai have a prediction about this?" ”
"Wei Baoluan wants to recover Jiyin County, so King Qi's army will definitely follow and pursue." Zhai Rang replied, "Bai Shuai said that in the next few months, the alliance and the official army will definitely start a fierce battle on both sides of the river. ”
"Stay, we stay in Henan, we can't leave." Jia Xiong said without hesitation, "After Bai Shuai retreats to Mengshan, he will be surrounded on all sides by Yang Lan, King of Qi, Duan Wencao of Lujun, Cui Deben of Pengcheng, and Dou Xuan of Langya, and he will be in an extremely dangerous situation. After the winter, once the news of the victory of the Eastern Expedition spread, the officers and troops of the Fourth Route will inevitably storm Mengshan. The alliance is weak, and it is difficult for Bai Shuai to reverse the defeat even if he has the ability to penetrate the world. ”
Zhai Hong followed suit and expressed the same meaning. Wang Yaohan and Wang Dangren also think that it is safest to stay in Henan Zhan.
Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin frowned and were silent.
Before, they had expected that the idea of staying in Henan Zhan might have the upper hand, after all, now the Wagang army also has thousands of people, and the money, food and weapons can barely be supported, with the current strength plus the advantage of "geographical advantage and people", as well as the help of Xu Shiyan, the Wagang army will definitely become a powerful force in Henan, and will get the secret support of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and under the protection of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, the Wagang army can be broken into pieces in peacetime, and the leaders of each road can show their magic powers, and show their own exhibitions. Schemes.
However, this is always a mixed underworld, struggling for survival, only short-term strategies, no long-term planning, and no hope for the future, but Li Fengyun's plan is magnificent, whether he is whimsical or on paper, people always formulate long-term strategies around the future, and plan short-term goals with long-term strategies. Willing to fight to the death.
From his point of view, Li Fengyun's future plan is like a dream and unreal, but if the Wagang army stays in Henan, it will always be a group of traitors who will not see the light of day, and there is no future at all
Bing Yuanzhen had a resolute attitude and strongly advised everyone to advance and retreat together with the alliance. It's a very simple thing, the Wagang army is a group of small thieves staying in Henan, and they are in danger of destruction at any time, even if it is difficult to survive, it is difficult to show, and although Bai Li Fengyun is also in danger of destruction, the alliance is strong, and once it is really displayed, there is the possibility of hegemony. Now everyone is a heinous traitor, and they are all dead when they are caught by the government, in this case, what is the point of hiding and surviving? Instead of living like a rat crossing the street, it is better to kill vigorously like a tiger descending from the mountain, and maybe you can kill a bright road.
"According to the news that Bai Shuai obtained, the current situation of the Eastern Expedition is not optimistic, and the Eastern Expedition is very likely to continue until next year or even longer, and this will inevitably intensify the contradictions and conflicts at home and abroad, internal and external troubles may explode together, the domestic situation may become more and more chaotic, and the northern captives on the desert may invade southward.
Bing Yuanzhen recounted in detail Li Fengyun's deduction of the future situation at home and abroad, and finally said, "According to Bai Shuai's deduction, next year is the key, if the Eastern Crusade cannot be completed next year, the situation in China and Turkey will deteriorate rapidly and become out of control." This is a view that everyone can agree with, and I believe you can agree with it too. ”
"Now let's get back to reality. The reality is that we don't know whether the Eastern Crusade will continue until next year, and we don't know whether the Eastern Crusade will end successfully this year, but in October, that is, after the winter of Liaodong, if the Eastern Crusade army fails to capture Pyongyang, then the Eastern Crusade may continue until next year, and if the emperor and the Eastern Capital want to continue the Eastern Crusade, they will inevitably issue an edict to continue to requisition grain and grass people, and then we will know the result. ”
When Bing Yuanzhen said this, he looked at the people in the tent and said earnestly, "For the sake of the future, we can't make a hasty decision, we should make a decision in three months." If the Eastern Crusade ends in three months, it turns out that Bai Shuai's deduction is completely wrong, and the alliance has no future at all, then in order to survive, of course, we must leave the alliance and return to Henan. On the other hand, if the news from Liaodong three months later is that the Eastern Crusade will continue, then it is enough to prove that Bai Shuai's deduction is completely correct, and it is speculated that his prediction of the domestic and foreign situation next year is credible, and his vision for the future of the alliance is also possible, so can we still leave the alliance? Will we still give up that faint hope? ”
The Wagang people fell into deep thought and weighed carefully.
After a long time, Jia Xiong hesitated and asked, "If Bai Shuai's deduction proves to be wrong after three months, will we still have a chance to break out of the encirclement of the official army and safely withdraw to Henan?" ”
Bing Yuanzhen realized that his persuasion had worked, and if even Jia Xiong no longer insisted on staying in Henan, the possibility of the Wagang brothers following the alliance was greatly increased. Bing Yuanzhen thought about it for a while and decided to reveal some secrets, which was necessary to help the Wagang brothers make the right decision at a critical moment.
"There will definitely be a chance to withdraw to Henan." "But even then, it's hard for us to survive. When the expeditionary force returns, the government soldiers return to their respective towns, the official army has absolute strength, and all the rebel armies will be wiped out. Henan is on the edge of the eastern capital, and the encirclement and suppression of the official army are even stronger, and our chances of survival are very small. ”
"In addition, I would like to remind you that you know too little about Li Fengyun and his person. Judging from the successful seizure of the Tongji Canal by commanding the alliance army and the successful conclusion of a secret agreement with the king of Qi, this person's background is extraordinary, and it can also be seen from his deduction of the future that he is very familiar with the political situation in the eastern capital, the situation at home and abroad, and has a deep and thorough understanding of what is behind the political situation. ”
Bing Yuanzhen's gaze turned to Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Ruxin. The three knew more about the secrets, and of course knew that he was telling the truth.
"Obviously, Bai Shuai is not an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary thief in Northern Xinjiang." Bing Yuanzhen continued, "We Wagang people all know that Li Fengyun has a close relationship with the Boling Cui clan, although we also thought that Li Fengyun's identity may be extraordinary, but now it seems that the reason why the Boling Cui clan established a close relationship with Li Fengyun when he was very weak is obviously another mystery, and it is also an extraordinary mystery, which ...... it."
Bing Yuanzhen looked at everyone, and everyone looked at him intently, with a focused expression and a look of anticipation, which made him a little proud, "According to a certain estimate, Li Fengyun's sudden appearance in the White Horse Prison on the eve of the Eastern Expedition is directly related to the power game of the high-level in the Eastern Capital. The Eastern Crusade intensified the contradictions between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people, and the fighting between the two sides gradually shifted from the eastern capital to the north and south of the river, and changed from a cultural fight to a military fight. Last year, Li Fengyun raised the flag in Mangdang Mountain, Liang County, Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the flag in Changbai Mountain, Qi County, Liu Badao and Sun Xuanya raised the flag in Douzigang, Bohai, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande raised the flag in Gaojibo, Qinghe, and then Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin, Zhang Jincheng, Zhang Jinshu brothers and other Hebei heroes raised their flags one after another, and this year Qilu raised the flag more heroes, which is enough to show that there is no mistake in a certain estimate. Why did so many heroes in Shandong raise their banners to rebel in such a short period of time? Whose rebellion is everyone making? Nominally, it is a rebellion against the emperor, but in fact it is an anti-rebellion against the people of Guanlong. Who wants to rebel against the Guanlong people? It's us Shandong. ”
Wang Bodang was so curious that he blurted out, "Who is Bai Shuai?" ”
"Those who can argue with the Cui family must be the wealthy family in Shandong, and the wealthy family in Shandong has the five surnames of Cui, Wang, Li, Lu and Zheng as the most, among which the Wang family is in Taiyuan, Jinzhong, and the Zheng family is in Xingyang, Henan, and the three surnames of Cui, Li and Lu are all in Hebei, but because the foundation of the Lu family is focused on Youyan, so from the regional theory alone, the Cui family and the Li family are the real Hebei giants and represent the interests of the Hebei people."
The Wagang brothers were amazed. Bing Yuanzhen's meaning was obvious, and he deduced that Li Fengyun might be from the Li clan of Zhao County.
Wang Bodang couldn't help but exclaim, "Just because his surname is Li? ”
"It's not just because his surname is Lee." Bing Yuanzhen shook his hand and said, "He was secretly escorted to the Eastern Capital by Yuwenshu, and after escaping from the White Horse Prison, he raised the flag and rebelled. Yuwenshu is the emperor's most trusted minister, and if Yuwenshu escorted him to Dongdu at the emperor's behest, then it can explain why he rebelled against the emperor and overthrew the Yang family, because he had a blood feud with the emperor. As far as a certain know, among the wealthy families in Shandong that were hit by two generations of emperors and their vitality was greatly damaged, only the Li family of Zhaojun, and Li Delin of Hanzhong Fang was even more shocked and collapsed. ”
This time, even Zhai Rang's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You said that he is the descendant of Shandong Hongru Li Delin?"
"So-and-so didn't say, how did so-and-so know?" Bing Yuanzhen shook his hand again and again, "I only know that Li Delin's son Li Baiyao is a close minister of the crown prince Yang Yong." When the Holy Lord was the king of Jin, he went out of Zhenjiang Zuo and invited him to go to Yangzhou with him, but he refused, thus forming a grudge. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, Li Baiyao suffered a lot of revenge, and the family suffered a lot, so if someone from the Li family of Zhaojun rebelled, it was the most likely that he came from Hanzhongfang. ”
The Wagang brothers looked at each other, one by one they were disturbed by Bing Yuanzhen's mysterious speculation, although it was too unbelievable, but vaguely, they felt that they could be a little bit along.
Is this really possible? If there is really such a possibility, even if it is only a star and a half, you can also gamble, after all, the strength of the big families is too strong, and it is not impossible to overturn a country and change the dynasty.
