The old man is thin and haggard, but his eyes are bright, wise, resolute, tenacious, and arrogant, just like the pine on the cliff, noble and immortal, which makes people awe-inspired.

This is Liu Xuan, a Hongru in Hebei, a nearly seventy-year-old, knowledgeable, well-known Confucian warrior in the Middle Earth, but also a political victim, in the Guanlong and Shandong people's political game repeatedly suffered misfortune, at the moment of the end of the wood actually fell into a desperate situation of displacement, ragged clothes, lack of food, dying, if it were not for his rebellious protégés and disciples insisted on "coercing" him away, at this moment he would have turned into a pile of white bones, with endless shame and grief in hell crying.

Liu Xuan has the dignity of a scholar, has the moral bottom line of Confucianism, he is not in this kind of rebellion, Middle Earth has gone through more than 400 years of division and war, the great cause of reunification is not easy to come by, as a contemporary Confucian, Liu Xuan is a staunch defender of the great cause of reunification, and does not want to be a sinner for the ages, so Liu Xuan does not rebel. But the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, the reality is that Liu Xuan has lost even the most basic right to live, his dignity and discipline have been trampled and ravaged, he has been coerced into the rebel team by his protégés, even if he does not rebel, he is still a rebel, so Liu Xuan fell into the fierce conflict between ideal and reality, morality and crime, honor and shame, and became very depressed and depressed. If he doesn't rebel, he can still leave the reputation of Confucianism, and the rebellion will be ruined, of course, if the rebellion is successful, the world will be changed, and it will naturally flow for generations, but the question is, can the rebellion succeed? Liu Xuan didn't see any hope.

However, the matter has come to this, he can only force himself to accept the cruel reality, accept the reason why the disciples of his disciples are determined to rebel, and accept the arrangement of fate.

The disciples of the protégé were very understanding and sympathetic to Liu Xuan, and tried their best to do some filial piety, hoping that he would live with dignity and live for a few more years, and it was best to forget the shame and pain, and enjoy his old age in peace, so they never bothered Liu Xuan, and did not ask Liu Xuan for help even if it was difficult. This time he crossed the river to the south to attack Qilu, and Liu Xuan offered to act with the army, on the grounds that if conditions permitted, he wanted to visit a few old friends of Qilu Rulin and go to Qufu to worship the Confucian saint. Of course, the protégés and disciples would not refuse, and they agreed.

In order to ensure his safety, Liu Badao not only took the old gentleman with him to serve in person, but also ordered his personal guards to protect the old gentleman as the first priority, but what he didn't expect was that at the critical moment, the old gentleman who never asked about military affairs actually stood up and supported the white handsome Li Fengyun, in fact, he supported Sun Xuanya, and hoped that the Hebei Righteous Army would cooperate with the Qilu Righteous Army to besiege Zhang Xutuo at any cost.

The disciples respect the old man, love and filial piety to the old man, which does not mean that they blindly obey the old man, especially in matters related to their own survival, of course, they must keep a clear head and come up with the right countermeasures, instead of leaving their fate to others in the hands of others, even if the person in charge is their most respected master.

Liu Xuan suddenly appeared, suddenly stated his position, and his position was clear and firm, giving the imposing Liu Badao a head-on blow, which made Liu Badao very faceless and embarrassed, and at the same time close to Liu Badao's ideas, or the heroes who have lost the courage to fight a decisive battle, or people with ambitions like Sun Xuanya, a question inevitably welled up in his heart, why did the old gentleman make his position clear at this moment? Why do you have to prove his existence and influence in such an abrupt way? Could it be that he suddenly figured it out, decided to rebel, and gambled the last years of his life with his own fame?

Liu Badao looked at the old gentleman dumbfounded, his expression was stunned, his feelings were complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

Hao Xiaode and other heroes also opened their mouths, and they hadn't recovered from the shock for a while.

Only Liu Heimin reacted the fastest, and made countless speculations in a flash, and in the end, the suspicion that had always lingered in his heart was the clearest since Hou Cheng saw Li Fengyun, so he asked without hesitation, "Why does Mr. believe in Bai Shuai?" ”

Liu Xuan glanced at him meaningfully, and then said slowly, "The people that the old man believes in are of course extraordinary. ”

Extraordinary? Liu Heimin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, could it be that XX's guess was correct? Is Bai Shuai Li Fengyun really from a wealthy family in Zhao County? Liu Heimin weighed it, although he knew that Liu Xuan would not give the answer, but he still decided to verify it, after all, the matter is very important, once the truth is revealed, its impact on the situation in Hebei and the Hebei rebels is incalculable.

"Sir, can you tell me what's unusual?"

Liu Heimin asked very bluntly and pointed to the point, while Liu Badao and other heroes were dazzled, everyone was concerned, all eager, they all wanted to hear the answer they hoped from Liu Xuan's mouth, and they all wanted to know if their doubts and speculations about Li Fengyun were the truth.

Liu Xuan held a cane in both hands, his eyes were deep, thoughtful, as if he was hesitating, and it was difficult to make a decision.

Liu Heimin gave a deep salute, "Sir, at the end of last year, a certain and Hao Shuai met Bai Shuai in Houcheng, and had a deep conversation with him, and the feeling at that time was that his son was by no means an ordinary person, and he also had doubts about his true identity, but there was no evidence......

"Sir, according to a certain speculation, last year Bai Shuai went north to Yongji Canal, and there must be someone behind it, otherwise Bai Shuai would not have said the words of saving Huang Taigong (Cui Hongsheng), and it turned out that after Duan Da lost the rebellion, Huang Tai Gong did benefit from it, so ......" Hao Xiaode didn't wait for Liu Heimin to finish speaking, and directly said his suspicions, "Who can drive Bai Shuai?" Who can let Bai Shuai cross the river north at any cost and give strong support to the Qinghe rebels? ”

The answer is about to come out, there are only two surnames and three wealthy families in Hebei, Boling Cui's family, Qinghe Cui family and Zhaojun Li family, they are not only the core of Shandong aristocratic group, but also the pillar of Hebei aristocratic group, and Bai Shuai is the "political tool" of these two surnames and three wealthy families, his background is deep, the backstage is hard, and the strength can be imagined. From this, the strategy of the Three-Way Righteous Army to attack Zhang Xutuo, which has been actively promoted by Bai Shuai, is not just as simple as seizing a piece of territory for the Qilu Righteous Army, but hides a more important political purpose behind it.

This is the hope, the hope of the success of the rebellion, although the heroes have the support of the local aristocratic forces behind them, but these local nobles are at most second-class nobles, such as Qinghe Zhang's family, Bohai Gao's family, etc., their influence is mainly limited to a specific area, such as a county or several counties, only the high-level nobles can expand their influence to the entire Shandong region, and use this to consolidate and expand their political power in the eastern capital. Just imagine, if the Shandong political group is determined to use violent means to achieve the purpose of revitalization, then it will inevitably support the rebels, let the tide of rebellion sweep through Middle-earth, once the change is successful, these rebels are undoubtedly the heroes of the re-emergence of the Shandong people, and it is natural that "princes and generals".

The big families have enough strength to influence the future of Middle-earth and the future of the rebels, and if the rebels want to have their own future, they must win the support of the big families, but the difference between the two is too great, and it is difficult for the rebels to win the support of the big families.

The high-ranking giants will not have anything to do with the rebels on the bright side before the shape is clear, they will only secretly use guò vassal to their low-level nobles, and put pressure on the rebels to achieve their own certain goals, that is to say, the Hebei tycoons are not even the "political tools" of the high-level giants now, unless their strength is strong enough to affect the local situation, and the current status quo is that the rebels in the north and south of the river are scattered except for Li Fengyun and the rebel alliance he established. Therefore, Li Fengyun is the closest handsome to the big giants.

Now the answer that the Hebei heroes hope for is that Li Fengyun has won the support of the big tycoons, which can not only explain why Li Fengyun has developed so quickly in such a short period of time, but also give everyone a hope for the future.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Liu Xuan finally spoke, "As you think." ”

Liu Xuan's answer is that your guesses are all correct, so at the critical moment, I stood up to support Li Fengyun, which is not only related to the victory or defeat of the Battle of Zhangqiu, but also related to the future of the Hebei Righteous Army.

The heroes pondered, trying their best to decipher the meaning behind these four words, weighing the risks and benefits brought by them. The atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing, and there was a faint hint of excitement, a hint of apprehension, and a hint of hesitation.

The complicated feelings of the heroes fell in Liu Xuan's eyes, but they sighed helplessly, they all reached the critical point of life and death, and they stubbornly grasped their personal interests, although this is human nature, there is nothing to blame, but what is the big thing with such a mind?

"I'm going to cross the river." Liu Xuan's tone was firm, "I'm going to see Li Fengyun." ”

"No," Liu overbearing vetoed, "The big war is imminent, it's too dangerous, and Mr. can't cross the river." ”

"Sir, don't be in danger." Liu Heimin also resolutely discouraged, "Crossing the river at this moment, nine deaths." ”

Liu Xuan didn't speak, slowly walked to the map, and then raised his hand to cover the Zhongchuan water on the map

"At present, on the battlefield of Qi County, if there is no army of King Qi and no alliance army of Li Fengyun, what are your chances of winning on the battlefield of Zhangqiu? Is there still a chance to return to Hebei? ”

Liu Badao, Liu Heimin and other handsome men looked at each other, and their faces showed shame.

Why did Liu Xuan stand up at a critical moment? He wanted to save the Hebei Righteous Army and save his protégés, for which he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life and his reputation.
