On August 17, Xiaoguo Wu Benlang once again concentrated the main force of the Yin World Division across Laishui and stormed Yicheng, the capital of Shanggu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info At the same time, Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County, also concentrated his forces to launch an attack on the Yishui line.

The allied forces retreated on all fronts, relying on the favorable terrain and holding the line of Wuhui, Puyinkou and Louting to ensure absolute control over Puyincheng.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong led the Fengyun Army to withdraw to the Flying Fox in advance, and the rest of the main forces followed closely and withdrew in turn.

The general manager Wang Bo stayed behind in Puyin and commanded the five armies under his command to continue to fight on the battlefield in Shanggu.

On the night of August 17, Feng Deyi rushed to Xianyu City, the capital of Boling County. Lu Junxian got the news in advance and greeted him at the pavilion ten miles outside the city.

After the meeting, Lu Junxian said two things to Feng Deyi, one is that the king of Qi entered the front line of Tangcheng, Wangdu and Chaoyang City yesterday, and fought fiercely with the rebels between Hushui and Yaoshan, trying to capture Changshan Pass, and so far, the king of Qi has neither summoned the bureaucrats of Boling County, nor has he had any contact with the wealthy families such as the Boling Cui clan and the Zhongshan Liu family; The second is that the twelve ladies of the Cui clan in Boling secretly rushed to Shanggu a few days ago, returned yesterday, and quickly had a secret conversation with the main figures of the wealthy families in northern Hebei, such as the Li family of Zhaojun and the Liu family of Zhongshan, who had recently gathered in the Cui manor to discuss the handling of the crisis.

The twelve ladies of the Cui family? Feng Deyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there any progress in that matter?" After the arrest of Song Zixian and others, was the preparation of the Uncovered Conference suspended? Hulu Shangjia was hit tragically, how did the situation in Boling and even northern Hebei change? ”

"Confusion." Lu Junxian's words were concise and to the point, "The people were panicked and frightened, first the traitors fell from the sky, burned, killed and plundered, and the government was helpless and did nothing to suppress the thieves, and that's it, but suddenly, the government began to arrest merchants on a large scale, regardless of Han and Hu, all of them were arrested, and even some local heroes were arrested." Then the king of Qi led his army to fight the thieves, which further aggravated the chaos of the situation in Boling. In this kind of chaos, everyone is in danger, even the presiding monks and nuns have to take care of their own lives, and of course the uncovered will end without a problem. As for the progress of that matter...... Lu Junxian shook his head with a wry smile, "It's a matter of his family's life, who dares to slack off?" According to the information obtained by a certain person, Hu Jia has already confessed that he is a Turkic under torture, and the Saiwai Beiju does have the intention of using the Wusha Conference to stir up right and wrong and deliberately disrupt the situation in the north, and no one can be sure when the Holy Lord will return to Beijing, whether he will return to Beijing via Boling, and whether it will be the right time for him, so there is no early conspiracy. Of course, if there is no warning from the white-haired thief, if we fail to stop it in advance and let it develop, maybe this gang of thieves will be able to seize the opportunity to attack the Holy Lord's car and even assassinate the Holy Lord, then the result will be unimaginable, and our losses will be incalculable. ”

"It's a fluke." Feng Deyi stroked his beard and sighed, "Although the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace may not return to Beijing via Boling, once the Wusha Conference is used by the Northern Captives, the consequences will be serious after all, but fortunately, we have seized the opportunity and grasped the initiative, so we can minimize the loss." Speaking of this, Feng Deyi glanced at Lu Junxian and asked, "Can they talk behind closed doors?" Did the Cui family invite you to discuss today? ”

Lu Junxian nodded, "The Cui family said that the sudden arrival of the King of Qi with troops is very unfavorable to the situation. The purpose of the King of Qi is obviously to coerce them to form an alliance and cooperate with the crisis, once they oppose it, the King of Qi will definitely kill, and the consequences can be imagined, so the Cui family intends to compromise and make concessions, but the situation of the King of Qi is well known, if the two sides cooperate, it can only be cooperation in interests, so the negotiation is very difficult, and the Cui family is not too sure. ”

"Cooperation of interests?" Feng Deyi pondered a little and asked, "If the King of Qi asks for a price, how can the Cui family satisfy his greed?" It's not that the Cui family is not too sure about this matter, but they are not sure at all. ”

Lu Junxian's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.

Feng Deyi warned unceremoniously, "What do you think? Jibei and Youyan are in the same breath, sharing honor and disgrace, and at the critical moment, we must not be short-sighted, and we must not sweep the snow in front of the door, otherwise our lips will die and our teeth will be cold, and we will suffer from it. ”

Lu Junxian shook his head, "King Qi can't be provoked, that is a scourge, what good results can be achieved by cooperating with a scourge?" ”

"The situation has changed." Feng Deyi sighed, "Now that King Qi's knife is on the neck of the Northern Hebei family, the Cui family can't help but bow his head, but the Holy Lord's knife is now on the neck of X, and X has to bow his head." ”

Lu Junxian was taken aback, "What happened to the palace?" ”

Feng Deyi did not hide it, and explained the recent changes in the situation. The Holy Lord fought against the "arrogance" of the Turks, and forced the white-haired thieves to fight immediately, and this important task was given to Feng Deyi, and only gave Feng Deyi a one-month time limit, and if Feng Deyi wanted to complete the task, he had to rely on the power of the King of Qi, which forced Feng Deyi to call on the "resources" of the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan to win the cooperation of the King of Qi.

Lu Junxian immediately made a decision. Now there is only a compromise with the King of Qi and cooperation with the King of Qi in interests, otherwise the wealthy families in northern Hebei will be hit hard, and Feng Deyi will also fall, how can the Fanyang Lu family and the Youyan wealthy family be left alone?

On August 17, late at night, Feng Deyi appeared in Cui's manor outside Xianyu City and had a secret conversation with Cui Ziduan, the Cui family.

Although Lu Junxian's previous performance was unsatisfactory, it was also reasonable, but after all, the interests of the two sides were linked, and they were closely related.

Feng Deyi's visit was also expected by Cui. Cui Yu went to Shanggu to secretly meet Li Fengyun before, and Li Fengyun revealed many secrets at that time, including that Pei Shiju had recommended the King of Qi to go north to the border, and the Holy Lord and the core of the center also reached an agreement on this matter, and Feng Deyi, as the center's envoy in northern Hebei, saw that the king of Qi suddenly turned to Boling to suppress thieves, and still maintained a high degree of vigilance against the holy lord and the center, and he was bound to come to Boling to meet the king of Qi and communicate with the king of Qi, of course, this must also include helping the wealthy families in northern Hebei to deal with the crisis quickly and correctly.

It's just that what Cui didn't expect was that the situation would change again in just a few days, because the Turks "fell into the well" and angered the Holy Lord and the center, so that the Holy Lord and the center wanted to kill people with a knife, and forced the white-haired thieves to fight within a month. This is actually a good thing for Li Fengyun, I don't know if it is Li Fengyun's luck, or Pei Shiju has already laid out, in short, the Cui family only needs to push the boat down the river, as long as they persuade the Youyan wealthy family to make proper use of the smuggling channel in Anle County, and give Li Fengyun grain and grass support at the critical moment.

However, the real purpose of Li Fengyun's exit was top secret, and it was impossible for the Cui family to reveal it to the Fanyang Lu family and the Youyan wealthy family. At the same time as Li Fengyun recovered Anzhou, he was bound to kill in Anzhou, burn, kill, and plunder in Anzhou, and it was even possible to kill corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river, turning Anzhou into a ruin, and the Youyan wealthy family was too close to Anzhou, and the related interests were too great, and the losses they suffered were bound to be amazing, so if the Cui family revealed this secret, the result could be imagined, and it would definitely be a heavy blow to Li Fengyun's plan to recover Anzhou, and it might even lead to Li Fengyun's entire army being wiped out.

On behalf of the Cui family and the wealthy family in northern Hebei, Cui Ziduan expressed his deep gratitude to the Fanyang Lu family and the Youyan wealthy family for their support and help at the critical moment, and also expressed his gratitude to Feng Deyi, who mediated in the center. Feng Deyi took the opportunity to make a request, "The Holy Lord has set a one-month time limit, which is too difficult for so-and-so, so if so-and-so has an idea, it may be able to play some role, and if this idea is to be realized, it still needs your help." ”

"As long as he can, Cui will go all out." Cui Ziduan did not hesitate to make a promise.

"There are many Hebei thieves under the account of the white-haired thief, and it is rumored that Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin, Sun Xuanya, Li Deyi and other thieves are in this team." Feng Deyi glanced at Cui Ziduan, who had a calm expression, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If you think of a way to put pressure on the white-haired thieves through these thieves, you may be able to force the white-haired thieves to go north." ”

"Discord meter?" Cui Ziduan nodded again and again, but he didn't think so, and he despised Feng Deyi's little trick, "Gong Jing is relieved, and he should do his best." ”

Anyway, Li Fengyun has to get out of the plug, and Li Fengyun will not take the Hebei heroes out of the fortress, those people are not enough to succeed, and there are more than enough failures, which are all burdens, so Li Fengyun has clearly told Cui's that Hebei Haoshuai will stay behind Flying Fox, and ask Cui's to give a certain degree of tacit understanding. Cui Ziduan was confident because of this, and made a promise when he opened his mouth, as long as the result is as Feng Deyi wishes, there will be favors, as for whether to do it or not, only God knows.

Cui Ziduan made a promise without thinking about it, which seemed too rash, which made Feng Deyi feel that the other party's sincerity was not enough, and there was a possibility of perfunctory, so he smiled slightly and said with a pun, "The white-haired thief was originally active in Qilu, but now he suddenly fell from the sky, burning, killing and plundering Ji Youyan, which makes people puzzled. Now there are various rumors in the palace, many of which are not good for you, and there are even rumors that the white-haired thief may be from the Li clan of Zhao County. ”

Cui Ziduan was not happy. This is an open threat, Feng Deyi actually used the true identity of the white-haired thief to threaten the wealthy family in northern Hebei, and seemed to forget that the Feng family in Hejian was also a member of the northern Hebei family.

"I heard some rumors, too." Cui Ziduan said with a smile, "Some people say that there is a high-powered big man standing behind the white-haired thief, and even say that the white-haired thief is the protégé disciple of this big man. ”

Feng Deyi's smile froze, and anger surged. Cui Ziduan's threat is more direct, if the true identity of the white-haired thief is exposed, the Li family of Zhaojun will certainly be affected, but the biggest victim is Pei Shiju, and Pei Shiju will inevitably take revenge on Feng Deyi, and Feng Deyi will shed his skin if he does not die.

"You mean King Qi?" Feng Deyi immediately changed the subject.

Cui Ziduan didn't get an inch, and followed Feng Deyi's words and said, "In a certain opinion, the key to whether the white-haired thief is willing to fight is still in King Qi." ”

"Good!" Feng Deyi said, "I will go to visit King Qi tomorrow." ”
