"Wei Envoy Jun did find a certain person, and also asked a certain person to secretly spread the word, but Wei Envoy Jun has a bad intention, although his purpose is to stick to the front line of Jiyin, Dingtao, and Chengshi, but it is actually a plan to delay the army, while allowing you to cause trouble on both sides of the river and continue to worsen the situation, while giving the Eastern Capital troops to send troops to fight the chaos and suppress the thieves to win enough excuse and time." Fang Xianbo sighed bitterly, "What Wei Yuanjun wants is a war, a war that can bring them benefits, and you are the tools that can bring them benefits, as for the people of Limin, in their eyes, they are just a group of insignificant grass mustard ants, and it doesn't matter how many people die." ”

When Fang Xianbo said this, he bowed deeply to Meng Haigong, "We are all from Jiyin, we are all from Henan, this is our homeland, and everyone here is our brothers and sisters, so whether it is from the righteousness or from your own interests, you should make the right choice." ”

Meng Haigong secretly sneered, can you persuade me to withdraw my troops with these words? Now that the righteous armies of all walks of life in southwest Lu have been killed, and they are wantonly plundering on both sides of the river, if I retreat, what will I eat and drink, and what will my army use to show its strength? If the expeditionary force returns at the end of the year and pursues me fiercely, will you still help me then? It is absolutely impossible, in that case, what reason do I have now to listen to your persuasion and lead the army back?

Meng Haigong pretended to groan, and said for a long time, "The matter has come to this point, it is difficult to ride a tiger, if you withdraw the army and leave, it is equivalent to betraying the alliance, and there will be a disaster." ”

"Li Fengyun is coming with great momentum and morale, and it is really unwise for you to suddenly turn your back on the alliance and leave at this moment, which will inevitably anger him." Fang Xianbo thought that Meng Haigong had been shaken, his eyes showed joy, and he immediately said, "But you can besiege but not attack, wait and see what happens, just wait for Li Fengyun's attack on the north bank of Jishui to be blocked, then the shape will change." ”

"There are not only Li Fengyun on the north shore, but also Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan." Meng Haigong frowned, worried.

"Don't worry, there is Wu Hailiu on the Cheng family's side." Fang Xianbo said with a smile, "Wu Hailiu and Han Jinluo are world friends, and Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan have just experienced the Battle of Ningyang, and they have suffered large losses, and they have no strength to forcibly attack the city. Wu Hailiu came forward to lobby, and Han Jinluo would inevitably take the opportunity to wait and see, so that only Li Fengyun's army remained strong and attacked. Although the Cangtou army is strong, if you want to capture Dingtao, you must get the cooperation of you and Han Jinluo's northern and southern armies. If you and Han Jinluo besiege but do not attack, standing on the north and south banks of Jishui and watching, will Li Fengyun still attack Dingtao with all his might? Do you dare to go deep alone? ”

Meng Haigong was silent in thought. Obviously, when their own interests were at stake, Jiyin Haowang joined forces with the Jiyin government.

This is an understandable thing, the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance went west into the Central Plains, and it was clear that it was burning, killing, and plundering, and it was to use the proceeds of looting to strengthen itself. Such atrocities not only dealt a heavy blow to the local government, but also dealt a heavy blow to the local aristocracy and wealthy, and this blow to the local nobles and rich people lost not only wealth, but also the strength they relied on to resist the local government and the Guanlong people. The Guanlong people have always wanted to control this area, but under the joint resistance of the local nobles and wealthy tycoons, the local government has been constrained everywhere. Now the attack of the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance has given the Guanlong people an excellent opportunity to strike at the huge local forces in this area. It is foreseeable that if the shape continues to deteriorate, the local nobles and rich will soon fall into the front and rear attacks of the official army and the rebel army, although they will not be wiped out, but it will no longer be possible to resist the government and the Guanlong people, they can only watch this piece of Henan's anointed land fall into the pockets of the Guanlong people.

Meng Haigong's home is in Jiyin Zhouqiao, adjacent to Liang County, which belongs to the edge of the Henan region, so he is also a native of Henan and a part of the huge local power in this region. After he raised the flag in Zhouqiao last year to rebel, although he was active on both sides of the Heshui River, the main plundering site was at the junction of the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou, not that he did not want to go deep into the hinterland of Jiyin, but that his survival needed the protection of the local forces in the region, if he launched an attack on the hinterland of Jiyin, it would inevitably touch the bottom line of the local forces, so he would commit public anger and the consequences would be unimaginable.

This time, as a member of the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance, he went to the hinterland of Jiyin, and actually stood on the opposite side of his former allies. Considering the uncertainty of the future, and considering that he might still need the help of these allies, Meng Haigong finally decided to act on the opportunity, see the wind and steer the rudder, and be a wall grass that the wind blows on both sides.

Sending away Fang Xianbo, Meng Haigong hurriedly wrote to Li Fengyun, the current Jiyin Haowang has stood on the side of the government, and joined forces with the Guanlong people to fight against the righteous army, and the exhibition of the shape is very unfavorable to the righteous army, and the implication is that the strategy of the westward expedition to the Central Plains has been shaken.

Li Fengyun under Dingtao City not only received a letter from Meng Haigong, but also received a letter from Han Jinluo. At this critical moment, the interests of the alliance are the interests of everyone, and the alliance can only grow stronger, so the two of them did not hide anything from Li Fengyun, and told Fang Xianbo and Wu Hailiu in detail about the camping meeting, and the words all showed their worries about the Western Expedition to the Central Plains.

Li Fengyun fell into deep thought.

"Ming Gong, we went west to the Central Plains, the biggest loss is the Henan people, and the Guanlong people are happy to see it, at the critical moment the eastern capital sent troops to fight the chaos, and then add fuel to the fire, then the Henan people will definitely suffer from the enemy, suffered heavy losses, and may collapse." Yuan An sighed, "Whether the western expedition to the Central Plains can achieve the expected results depends on whether we can win the support of the Henan people, and judging from the current situation, we are too optimistic and unprepared for the fierce reaction of the Henan people, so that we are very passive now." ”

"Although it is a little passive, it is not strict, as far as the current shape is concerned, the resistance for us to continue to move forward is indeed great, but the retreat is still worry-free." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What is strange is that the disaster situation on the north and south banks of the river is getting worse day by day, and the successive natural disasters are certainly an important reason, but the ineffective relief of the Eastern Capital and the local government is also a crucial reason, and what is the reason for the ineffective relief?" There is no other reason than the Eastern Crusade? The fight between the Guanlong people and the Shandong people has been fierce, and now the Guanlong people have finally encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight the Shandong people, how can they miss it in vain? Such an obvious thing, Henan people know well, the resentment in their hearts can be imagined, but when we give the opportunity to take revenge, Henan people are afraid, retreat, and actually work hand in hand with Guanlong people to be with wolves, which is really surprising. Don't they know that even if we evacuate and stop attacking the Central Plains, even if the situation is stable and the Eastern Capital gives relief, that relief is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't save the lives of the victims at all, let alone make up for the losses of the Henan people, and after the strength of the Henan people is greatly damaged, there is no possibility of recovering their vitality in the short term, and it is impossible for the Guanlong people to give them time to recover their vitality, so they will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob and beat the water dogs. ”

"Xiao Lang has a point." Yuan An deeply agreed with Xiao Yi's words, "Before the emperor's eastern crusade, a large number of officials were replaced, including Dugu Cheng, the Taishou of Jiyin, Wei Baoluan, and Yang Qing, the King of Xun, all of whom were from Guanlong. Such a layout must have a deep meaning. ”

"I can't talk about any deep meaning, that is, to completely control this area and completely destroy the local forces in Henan." Xiao Yi pursed his lips disdainfully, "Ever since the Guanlong people defeated the Shandong people to unify the Yellow River Valley, the Guanlong people have always wanted to destroy the local forces in various parts of Shandong. After the unification of Middle Earth, the minds of the Guanlong people were even greater, and even the local forces in Jiangzuo wanted to be swept away. It's a pity that the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people are flourishing and powerful, how can they be compared to a group of northwestern barbarians who drink blood? ”

Although the change of dynasty is an irresistible historical trend, the dignity and pride of Zhongtu Zhengshuo have made a group of barbarians from the northwest, a group of uneducated low-class nobles in the northwest, trampled on the soles of their feet, which is trampling, insulting, and unbearable pain for the Xiao family. It has only been more than 30 years since the unification of the Yellow River Basin in China and more than 20 years since the unification of the entire Middle Earth.

Comparing hearts to hearts, Xiao Yi believes that Henan people should be the same as themselves, hate Guanlong people, even if they can't restore the country, they must be overthrown, and the shame of the country will be lost, especially at this moment, in the face of Guanlong people's death and death, in the face of Guanlong people's sinister intentions, how can Henan people let go of their grudges and cooperate with them? How can you walk with tigers and wolves?

"Henan people have other plans?" Li Fengyun pondered intently, as if talking to himself, and as if asking Xiao Yi

"Whether the people of Henan have other plans, I don't know, but I can be sure of one thing, when the situation continues to deteriorate and the people of Henan fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy, we are the only ones who are really willing to save the people of Henan." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "At that moment, survival is paramount, no matter what kind of plans the Henan people have before, they will hold our hands tightly and fight side by side with us." ”

Yuan An immediately understood Xiao Yi's intentions, and he insisted on attacking the Central Plains. It doesn't matter to the rebels whether the Henan people are swaying at both ends of the tail, the important thing is that the Guanlong people are always the enemies of the Henan people, and the rebels are the loyal allies that the Henan people can rely on. At the moment of life and death, the enemy will deal a fatal blow to the people of Henan, while the allies will come to the rescue. When will Henan talents fall into a life-and-death crisis? Quite simply, as long as the rebels persistently attacked, attacked, and as long as the situation in the Central Plains continued to deteriorate, the Henan people would be pushed into the abyss of death

If you don't rebel, I'll force you to rebel.

"Can Ming Gong make a decision?" Yuan An asked.

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "Capture Dingtao, break through the Jiyin defense line, and control the initiative and advance and retreat freely."
