On the fourth day of the ninth month, Yue Gao, the head of the alliance, led his army to Yanziyuan, and in accordance with Li Fengyun's order, he pretended to be the garrison of Changcheng and launched an attack on the alliance army, deliberately creating chaos in Huaihuang, so as to deceive the horse thieves and robbers on the edge of Yanziyuan.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Li Zixiong traveled day and night, led his army to the front line of Daning and Xiaoning, and had a secret meeting with Zhao Shizhu, the general of Wu Benlang of Daning City, and informed him in detail of the many changes in the situation in Yanbei in recent days and the prediction of the future trend, so as to thank Zhao Shizhu for his "cooperation".
Li Zixiong was very enthusiastic, while Zhao Shizhu was very cautious, both of them knew in their hearts that the short-term cooperation would end, and then Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief would join hands to help King Qi gain a foothold in Yanbei, and Zhao Shizhu's days in Yanbei were numbered.
It is impossible for the Yin World Master to tolerate Zhao Shizhu's constraints, and Duan Da is also worried that Zhao Shizhu may hinder the Yin World Master from completing his mission, and from the standpoint of Weifu Zhenshu, putting the two Wu Benlang generals in Yanbei at the same time is not only a waste of resources, but also affects the safety of the town. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the struggle for power and profit is everywhere, so the two Wu Benlang generals will definitely have to leave one of them, and the person who will leave must be Zhao Shizhu, and Zhao Shizhu will definitely serve as the commander of the Youzhou Zhenshu Army. Considering that the target of the alliance army's attack was Anzhou, and Anzhou was adjacent to Youzhou, so the two sides would soon have a second cooperation, and it was a deep long-term cooperation, and it was of course necessary for Li Zixiong to win over Zhao Shizhu to have a good relationship.
Li Zixiong's excessive "enthusiasm" seems to Zhao Shizhu to be a bit abnormal, a traitor who is about to conquer the Saiwai Dynasty is precarious, does not focus on survival, does not take the opportunity to put forward requirements for food, grass and weapons to himself, but chatters endlessly "entangled" in the future direction of the northern Xinjiang town and the north-south relationship, which is obviously putting the cart before the horse, salty and eating radishes and worrying about nothing, and having nothing to do.
Zhao Shizhu laughed and took Li Zixiong's words as the wind in his ears. He is not concerned about these things now, but his own career, he has a premonition that the situation in Youyan will become more and more complicated with the arrival of the King of Qi, this place is full of risks, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, plus there are estrangements and contradictions between him and Duan Da and the Yin World Master, so he has the idea of leaving. Since he planned to leave Youyan, Zhao Shizhu was of course not interested, and directly ignored Li Zixiong's hints with puns.
Then Li Zixiong received an urgent letter from Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun asked him to speed up the march and rendezvous as soon as possible, and clearly informed him that the vanguard army would leave Huaihuang on the fifth day of the first lunar month and advance towards the Lightning River.
Li Zixiong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Fengyun to go north so fast, he didn't give him time to take a breath and rest at all. After a little consideration, Li Zixiong told Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng the news.
A few days ago, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng quickly caught up with Li Zixiong with 600 cavalry, and the two sides joined forces and went to Saiwai together, the most important purpose was to discuss with Li Fengyun and draw up specific actions and related arrangements in the next few months. Hearing that Li Fengyun was going to leave Huaihuang tomorrow, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng were in a hurry, and without hesitation, they immediately decided to hurry up and get out of the jam overnight.
On the fifth day of September, in the early morning, Swallow Plain.
Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi, and Li Shanheng finally joined Li Fengyun before he left Huaihuang. The three of them ran wildly all the way, the physical exertion was too great, they were exhausted, and it was difficult to continue, but the action in the next month was very important, and many details still needed to be discussed, especially before the two sides had only formally negotiated once in Shanggu, and then they were all secret letters, and the language was unknown, so after leaving the fortress, the two sides must sit down and talk openly and honestly to ensure that the plan to recover Anzhou can be successful, so the three of them can't take a break, and pull Li Fengyun to discuss quickly.
Li Fengyun's mood can be understood by everyone, the mission he undertook is too great, and the pressure on Pei Shiju on him is too great, this expedition can only win and not lose, and if the north-south confrontation is defeated, it will be even more unfavorable to face Middle-earth, and it will not be good for Pei Shiju to alleviate the crisis in the northwest, and many unfavorable results will inevitably promote and accelerate the outbreak of the Civil War, and the rapid outbreak of the Civil War is not only unfavorable to Middle-earth, but also unfavorable to the ambition of Qi Wang to seize the crown prince and Li Fengyun's ambition to dominate, so whether public or private, Li Fengyun must recover Anzhou and win this war. We must exhaust all means on the battlefield, attack the east and the west, hide from the sky and the sea, and use all the means that can be used, and use everything we can. Under such circumstances, Li Fengyun's anxious and anxious mood can be imagined, and he couldn't wait to fly to Anzhou overnight, and he couldn't even wait to meet Li Zixiong before setting off first.
Li Zixiong knew that Li Fengyun was a little dissatisfied with his stay in Guangning, so he deliberately briefed the situation of the confrontation between the King of Qi, the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion and the local forces in Yanbei after the Guangning crisis? Frankly admitting that he underestimated the situation, not only failed to help the King of Qi establish a certain advantage in Yanbei as quickly as possible, but instead angered the left-behind mansion by capturing Guangning and plundering the treasury, and worsened the defensive situation of the left-behind army.
With Li Zixiong's qualifications and self-esteem, it is remarkable that he can vaguely express his apologies, which shows that he has great expectations for the recovery of Anzhou in exchange for pardon, and he needs Li Fengyun's trust and cooperation very much.
Li Fengyun disagreed, and what he said was even more atmospheric, everything was to win the Civil War, if the Civil War was lost, the consequences can be imagined, and the alliance in front of him would fall apart, and they would go their own way, and those who should be defeated would still not be able to stand up, and those who should be scurried around would be channeled, so everyone had the same goal and the same interests, and the differences and arguments on specific strategies were not worth mentioning at all.
"Is there a reason why you are in such a hurry to go north? Are there variables that don't work against us? Li Shanheng asked bluntly, "Does it affect our chances of winning?" ā
This battle is equally important to King Qi, if he wins, he can not only quickly gain a foothold in Yanbei, but also develop and grow rapidly, and quickly reverse the political passive situation, and if he loses, it will be difficult, and the future will be uncertain, so at this moment, for Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, what they want to hear most is good news, which is Li Fengyun's absolute chance of winning, so the focus of the negotiation is to attack Youyan from the east and west, and gradually control Youyan, instead of trapping Yanbei and being restrained by the left-behind mansion.
Li Fengyun had no intention of concealing it, and told the truth, "The odds of winning have increased, but the variables are also greater." ā
Can you elaborate? What are the odds? What is a variable? Wei Fusi asked tentatively. Li Fengyun is the knife in Pei Shiju's hand, this attack on Anzhou is Pei Shiju's layout, the internal situation is complicated, and a large number of secret resources have been used, Li Fengyun certainly has a reason to conceal it, and Wei Fusi's investigation is inappropriate.
Li Fengyun glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Because of the sudden change in the situation in Yanbei and the impact on the north-south return, the Tooth Tent Task Force Hitler Ashina Simo and Tong Lifa Shi Shu Hu Xi rushed to the southeast of the Moraine Tooth Banner to assist Ji Ji Ashina to deal with the crisis. ā
Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi, and Li Shanheng looked at each other, their expressions suddenly solemn and worried. Jia Bitler Ashina Simo, Tong Lifa Shi Shu Hu Xi, are all powerful and prominent people in the desert tooth tent, and the military and political leaders of Middle-earth know about it, and Li Zixiong and Wei Fusi were once in the core of the center, and they have had many contacts with them, so they know them better.
If it is reasonable to send ministers to deal with the temporary problems in the direction of Yanbei due to the north-south return to the north and the south, then it is extraordinary to send two important ministers of the tooth tent at the same time, and there is obviously another purpose. Thinking of the Second Eastern Crusade of Middle-earth in vain, the outbreak of rebellion in Kyoto in Middle-earth, and the deep crisis in Western Xinjiang, internal and external troubles, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, but at this moment the situation in Yanbei is tense, and the north-south return is affected, which just gives the desert tooth tent an excuse to "shoot", and Jia Bitler Ashina Simo and Tong Lifa Shi Shu Huxi are frequent negotiators in Middle-earth, it is not difficult to guess that the goal of the Turks should be to take the opportunity to coerce Middle-earth to expand the north-south return.
In this way, the opponent is not a person who is Qi Ji Shi Ashina of the southeast Yaqi Banner, but also Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Huxi, who are relatively familiar with Middle Earth, and the situation outside the Sai is completely different. Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong went out to fight as a rebel, probably in the arms of the Turks, and the Turks were worried that they had no excuse to come to the Great Wall.
"It's a lot worse than you think." Li Fengyun's words were not shocking, and one sentence made Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng secretly panic, "According to the information I have received, the Turks have predicted that Middle-earth will fight in the northeast, and they will provoke a small-scale war to cooperate with the direction of Western Xinjiang to alleviate the crisis, so as to form a joint Western Turkic attack on the desert. Shi Shuhu learned that the target must be the Northeast, but the Turks were beyond the reach of the whip, and they were unable to stop Middle-earth, and the Turks were not ready for war, and they did not want to turn against Middle-earth, so they must retreat to the next best thing, and use the Northeast captives to drag the Middle-earth, so that the Middle-earthers will repeat the defeat of the Eastern Crusade and retreat, and fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate themselves. ā
Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi, and Li Shanheng suddenly realized, no wonder Li's chances of winning had increased just now, so it was.
If Li Fengyun's news is accurate, and the goal of Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Huxi is to drag the Middle-earth people on the battlefield in the northeast and continue to consume Middle-earth, then the task of the southeast tooth banner is not to directly fight the Middle-earthers, nor to directly support the Northeast captives, but to secretly support the Northeast captives, and at the same time openly put pressure on the Middle-earth, up and down, and take advantage of it. In this way, in the face of the attack of the Middle-earth rebels, and in the face of the containment and attrition strategy of the Middle-earthers, he will definitely do the opposite, avoid the battle, never be fooled, and preserve his strength, so as to launch a counteroffensive at the right time and drag the Middle-earthers in the northeast battlefield.
If the situation changes like this, Li Fengyun's chances of winning will increase, and the surprise attack on Anzhou will be more certain, but the follow-up variables will be greater, and if he doesn't do it well, he will fall into the quagmire and bury himself.
Li Fengyun continued, "So what we have to discuss now is how to effectively contain the Dongnan Yaqi, form a serious threat to the Turks, and force the Turks to take care of one and the other, and are unable to take care of the northeast, so as to create a better situation for a certain and Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) to gain a foothold in the northeast and win more time." ā
