The first Eastern Crusade was too different in terms of strength, hundreds of thousands of troops in Middle-earth fought a small Fanbang Goguryeo, but the boat capsized in the gutter, and 200,000 soldiers were killed, resulting in a great injury to the vitality of the Weifu army, the frontier town was in crisis, and the relationship between the north and the south took a sharp turn for the worse, so in the civil war, the gap between the strength of the two sides was not large, the vitality of the middle earth was greatly damaged, the national strength was weak, the strength was lost, and the majesty was no longer strong, and if the northern captives went south, the control of the string must be more than 200,000, in this case, if the domestic political situation is turbulent, For example, if there is another openly rebellious Yang Xuangan or Hu Sizheng who secretly betrays the country, the result is self-evident, and it will definitely repeat the mistake of the defeat of the First Eastern Crusade.

If the future trend is as Li Fengyun said, if the alliance passively responds to the future crisis, it is foreseeable that the alliance will be wiped out in the war. Could it be that the Holy Lord, who was in political trouble after the great defeat, would still fulfill his promise and reward his merits? Where did the merit come from after losing the battle? Not sinning and adding one more is a great gift.

Therefore, Li Fengyun's interpretation of the alliance's northern expedition is very incisive, that is, to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the limited time and space before the outbreak of the war, and seize the opportunity to survive. What is a survival opportunity? To put it bluntly, it is to develop strength. Without great strength, it is impossible to survive the war, and it is impossible to make enough profit after the war.

The Union army is a rebel army, not the Weifu army, and the alliance moved north to participate in the Civil War in order to seek benefits, how can it impress the heroes without sufficient interests? Defending the homeland and defending the country, killing the captives in blood, and shrouding the body in horse leather are the responsibilities of those with vested interests, and the heroes are the enemies of those with vested interests. "Righteousness" is a golden silk garment, which everyone is willing to wear, which can not only cover up the corruption in it, but also deceive the general public, why not? Those with vested interests wear "golden clothes" every day, and the handsomes also shout "righteousness" every day, but in fact, they are all interests first, and there is no interest, and "righteousness" is not bullshit in their eyes.

If the Civil War is lost, what profit is there? Therefore, it is necessary to make preparations with both hands and reserve a way out. However, Li Fengyun will never openly threaten to preserve his strength in the war at this time, in front of Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and other powerful people, and to take advantage of the defeat of both Middle-earth and the desert after the war to divide the northern Xinjiang to hegemony and compete for the world.

The reason why Li Zixiong, Han Shige and Zhou Zhong and other powerful people defected to the Qi King Temporary Residence Alliance was to win the Civil War, redeem their merits, and return to their official careers, so they had confidence in the Holy Lord and the center, and had high hopes for the Civil War, although they also admitted that Li Fengyun's inference had a certain persuasiveness and possibility, but they would not be like the heroes, because they believed and blindly followed Li Fengyun and believed in this inference, so they would find another way, they would not give up, this is their only realistic and promising "rebirth" opportunity, not to be missed, It is also not allowed to be destroyed, if Li Fengyun goes back on his word, betrays his promise, and uses them for personal gain under the banner of righteousness, the two sides will inevitably tear their faces. Li Fengyun saw it thoroughly, so he was "vague" on the key points, or even didn't reveal a word, anyway, no matter how you understand it, I will never admit that I am selfish.

Li Fengyun waited for a moment again, and saw that Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and the others did not question it, and then continued, "Of course, no one knows the future, whether it is speculation or hypothesis, it is meaningless, but it is a warning to us, warning us to be cautious at all times, to plan for the worst, to take precautions, to prevent trouble, to prepare for both, to leave a way for ourselves to retreat, and this is the purpose of our northern expedition, which is to create an opportunity to survive in the war." ”

"In the Flying Fox Army meeting, a certain has made it very clear that the frontal battlefield of the Civil War must be Daibei, and if we devote ourselves to the frontal battlefield, the result can only be wiped out, so if we want to survive in the war, we must avoid the frontal battlefield and wait for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy on the flank battlefield. However, if we are trapped in Yanbei, before the outbreak of the war, in order to eradicate all hidden dangers, the eastern capital is bound to be unconditionally appeased, and the consequences of not agreeing are conceivable, and it is not beneficial to the country or ourselves, and if we agree, do we still have the right to choose the battlefield? Of course not. What to do? It's very simple, jump out of Yanbei, break out of the encirclement, win the initiative by recovering Anzhou, and force the eastern capital to compromise with the initiative on the battlefield, so that before the outbreak of the war, the eastern capital can only exchange interests for our cooperation in order to increase the advantage of Middle-earth. ”

When Li came here, he became serious, "The Northern Expedition is related to the survival of the alliance and the future of the alliance, such a big plan, if our strongest army does not charge into battle and control our own destiny, do we still want those heroes with different ambitions to charge into battle and let them decide our fate?" ”

The generals of the alliance looked solemn and didn't say a word, and their hearts were already "transparent".

At the Flying Fox Military Conference, Li Fengyun's focus on the purpose of the Northern Expedition was to reverse the crisis of the Northern Xinjiang Rebellion and increase the chances of victory in the Northern and Southern War, which was from the standpoint of the overall situation, and today at the Daiwangcheng Military Conference, Li Fengyun's position quietly changed, completely from the perspective of the alliance, focusing on the survival of the alliance in the war and its development after the war, and even openly made the inference of the defeat of the Middle Earth in the Civil War, what does this mean? This means that Li Fengyun's strategy of the northern expedition was actually based on the defeat of the war.

The mystery behind this is big, at least it is to preserve strength, at worst it is to preserve strength, at worst it is ill-intentioned, with the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and then extending it deeper, that is, to cut off the territory and dominate. This is in the interests of the alliance and the interests of these heroes who follow Li Fengyun to fight everywhere. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, rather than counting on the charity and gifts of the imperial court, it is better to fight a piece of heaven and earth by yourself, to kill and take away, and to be happy with enmity.

Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and others also know it. At present, many facts can prove that Pei Shiju is losing control of Li Fengyun. As for how big his ambitions are, although he still depends on the development of the general trend at home and abroad, one thing is certain, Li Fengyun is not optimistic about the king of Qi, and he is also very pessimistic about the Civil War, and even unbelievably believes that the national throne may collapse and the great cause of reunification may collapse. If Middle-earth falls apart, Li Fengyun has the strength to dominate the world, but in the eyes of Li Zixiong and other powerful people, this is purely a fool's dream. It's just that Li Fengyun is a crazy person, he has always used Pei Shiju's prestige to squeeze the value of King Qi, and even used the Holy Lord and the center's sword killing plan to fight for himself.

Such a crazy person, it is normal to have such crazy remarks, although he has just left the Flying Fox, and he has not yet left the fortress, he is impatient to expose his "true face", but it is not useless, at least the "true face" can effectively appease these alliance heroes, calm the grievances in the hearts of these heroes, stimulate their morale, and lay a solid foundation for the battle out of the fortress, and at the same time sounded the "alarm bell" for Li Zixiong and other magnates, a thief is a thief, rebellion is rebellion, don't expect a thief and a rebellion in the "righteousness" Under the guidance of the banner, he can suddenly abandon evil and follow good, die generously, and sacrifice his life to defend the country, so he must maintain a high degree of vigilance and keep a safe distance, so as not to be caught off guard by this group of traitors and eat them clean.

"As you said just now, after the recovery of Anzhou and the convergence of the two armies, the remaining heroes must share the benefits of the Northern Expedition equally, and they will be indignant for nothing." Li couldn't help but laugh when he came here, "I want to ask you, where did you get the news that after recovering Anzhou, the two armies will meet?" Who told you that the left-behind legions were going to leave Yanbei and go to Anzhou? ”

The generals looked at each other, collectively speechless, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little strange.

Will Li Guo meet the two armies? No. At the meeting of the Flying Fox Army, did you discuss the rendezvous and make a decision to choose an opportunity? Nor did it. However, isn't it necessary to jump out of Yanbei, break out of the encirclement, and reverse the passive situation of the alliance? If the two armies will not merge, and the remaining legions will trap the Flying Fox, wouldn't it be equivalent to abandoning them and leaving them to fend for themselves?

Alliance generals such as Lu Xingxing, Xu Shisan, and Guo Ming were at a loss and could not guess Li Fengyun's true intentions, while Li Zixiong, Han Shige, and Zhou Zhong and other powerful people understood after a little thought, and they were all secretly surprised. Sure enough, Li Fengyun is ambitious, and he is very ambitious.

The purpose of the Northern Expedition was too complicated, and there were too many mysteries behind the battle to recover Anzhou, and Li Fengyun's genius actually skillfully took advantage of the current contradictions and conflicts between the forces of all parties and the heavy pressure brought about by the Civil War, and secretly made secret arrangements for his future. The alliance army is divided into two routes, echoing from east to west, supporting each other, so as to ensure the survival and development of the two armies of the alliance, and the expansion of the alliance's strength can bring more and greater benefits, which in turn can help the alliance two armies to further develop and grow, and the strong alliance will definitely force the eastern capital to compromise before the outbreak of the Civil War, and then participate in the Great War to grab more lucrative benefits. It is foreseeable that Li Fengyun will certainly preserve his strength in the war so that he can take advantage of the defeat of both the north and the south after the war to gain hegemony in the northern frontier.

This is a conspiracy, in the final analysis, the key is in the Civil War, if Middle-earth wins the war, Li Fengyun's ambition will be bankrupt, on the contrary, Middle-earth needs Li Fengyun's force to guard the Great Wall in times of crisis, block the northern captives, and help Middle-earth win respite, so even if Li Fengyun has ambitions, and even Li Fengyun has made a posture of separating northern Xinjiang, the eastern capital can only swallow his anger and pinch his nose to admit it, and wait until the future vitality recovers and then settle the account.

Li Zixiong sighed helplessly, no wonder Li Fengyun was anxious to show his "true face", it turned out that he had already made the decision of "dividing the army into two routes, echoing each other from afar, and developing together", and the road of going out of the northern expedition would have to survive and develop independently from now on, and it was the right time to say it now.

It's just that such a big event is related to the survival of the alliance, why did Li Fengyun deliberately hide it? Why is it so secretive about the Flying Fox Army, and even gives the wrong hint that the two armies will inevitably meet?
