Li Fengyun led the army back to the camp of the alliance governor's mansion, and the alliance officials who stayed in Fangcheng came out to greet them, Xiao Yi, who was in charge of government affairs, Antle and Jian Bo, who were in charge of finance, Nanyutang, who was in charge of Fangcheng's defense, and Mohetunhe, the governor of the Mohefu Department, who led the army to be stationed between Suotoushui and Lishui, and took care of the defense of Fangcheng and Baitan, Laiyuan, Miyong, Shansongzi, and a number of big axes, Zheng Yan, the marquis of Keqing Beiwu, and Liu Shanbo, the prince of Gaomen, who came from Gubeikou a few days ago. Li Sixing and Youzhou Jian Jun competed to congratulate Maogou River on its victory. The victory of this battle is very important, and the defeat of the Xi army also means the success of the plan to recover Anzhou.

After the cordial greetings, Li Fengyun convened the decision-making level of the alliance and immediately discussed the meeting in the Shuai account.

Today, the Fengyun Alliance has expanded into a large alliance composed of the Middle-earth Rebels who went north, the Eastern Capital magnates who participated in Yang Xuangan's mutiny and fled abroad, the Xi tribes, the local forces of Anzhou, some Han merchants inside and outside the Great Wall, and horse thieves and robbers in the southeast of the Moraine and other places, so the number of decision-makers has greatly increased.

On behalf of the rebel army, there were Li Fengyun, Yuan An, Xiao Yi, Xu Shisan, Cao Kun, and Nan Yutang, on behalf of the fugitive magnates, on behalf of the fugitive magnates, there were Laiyuan, Zheng Yan, and Kong Yingda, on behalf of the Xi tribes, and on behalf of the Xi tribes, there were Yuan Qian, a hundred young generals of the disgraced king Mengba, Mo Hehuang, and a hundred young generals from the Heyuan and Murod tribes, Feng Hong and Li Yi represented the local forces in Anzhou, on behalf of the Han merchants inside and outside the Great Wall, there were Antle and Han Jian Bo, and on behalf of the horse thieves and thieves outside the Saiwai, there were Hu Yanjian, Mi Yong, several big axes, and Gao Hu.

There is another prominent figure who has attracted much attention, that is, Murong Zhili, although he is only a lieutenant and a grassroots officer in the general mansion of Gubeikou Town, but as the official supervision envoy of the Central Earth to the alliance, he participates in the decision-making of the alliance, and the significance he represents is extraordinary.

In addition, Liu Shanbo, Li Sixing, and Jian Jun were also invited to participate in the alliance.

The three of them are all from this wealthy family of northern Hebei and Youyan, representing the interests of the local forces of northern Hebei and Youyan, and their interests are closely related to the interests of Anzhou, and the alliance naturally wants to win their cooperation, and they will definitely be invited. Interests come first, who will get along with interests? The purpose of this alliance is to redistribute interests, that is, to formulate a new distribution plan to meet the needs of all parties to meet the needs of all parties, so as to maintain and consolidate the close cooperation between the forces to the greatest extent and ensure that the alliance can go higher and further in the future.

Before the start of the discussion, Li Fengyun had some exchanges with the four tribal representatives of Mengba, Mohehuang, Chuheyuan and Yuan Qizhi, and after obtaining their consent, the Ahui Department was specially invited to attend the meeting of the alliance.

After Ah Huizheng received the invitation, he thought about it again and again, or took care of his face, and let his younger brother Ah Huichuan attend the meeting on behalf of Ah Hui. Ah Hui Chuan was originally imprisoned in Ghost Fang City, but because Fang Cheng urgently needed a noble person to appease the captured Ah Hui clan, Ah Hui Chuan arrived in Fang City. According to the agreement between Li Fengyun and Ah Huizheng, all the control strings and clans of the Ah Hui clan were released, and Ah Huizheng took them to live in the Shaolang River, but the control strings and clans of the Qi clan all became the spoils of the humiliating royal department and belonged to the humiliating royal department. Fortunately, Li Fengyun opened the net, did not kill them all, and gave them a glimmer of life, but with the current strength of the Ministry of the League, without Li Fengyun's help, they would not be able to grasp this line of vitality at all, so this time to attend the meeting of the alliance, it is a precious opportunity for the Ministry of the League, not to be missed, but in order to win the sympathy of the majority of forces, the Ministry of the Association must grovel and suffer humiliation, and the Association is unable to do it, so it will take this "heavy responsibility" It was handed over to Ahuikawa.

After the discussion began, Li Fengyun briefly recounted the course of the first battle of Maogouchuan, and then analyzed and deduced in detail a series of effects and consequences caused by the sudden change of situation in Anzhou, especially the negative role in promoting North-South relations, and finally came to the conclusion that although North-South relations will not break down because of the change of ownership in Anzhou, the North-South War will inevitably explode because of this.

Li Fengyun predicted that next year will be a critical period of increasing tension and even rupture in relations between the North and the South, that the North and the South will launch tentative attacks in all directions, that preparations for war are in full swing, and that the aggressive offensive in China will force the desert to make a desperate gamble and take a desperate risk, and it is very likely that it will take the lead in attacking and preemptively, so the North-South war will break out violently.

Based on this prediction, Li Fengyun was pessimistic about the prospects of Anzhou, and put forward the strategy of active defense and active attack, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the desert Turks could not react to the sudden change in Anzhou, and swept across both sides of the weak Luoshui with lightning speed, inflicting heavy losses on the Donghu species, striking at the powerful other parts of the Turks, and seizing the opportunity for the all-round confrontation against the Turkic attacks next year.

The benefits of this strategy are obvious, but risks and opportunities coexist, and once you lose and fail, the early gains will be lost. However, correspondingly, if it is passive and passive, can Anju hold on? The answer is not certain, it depends on the strength of support within the Great Wall, if the Great Wall is not ready for war, and next year is not going to tear the face with the Turks to fight, then the support must be limited, only rely on the alliance's own strength, under the joint attack of the Turks and the Donghu species, even if they hold Anzhou, it is also a loss of troops, dying, unsustainable, and strength determines everything, once the alliance is not strong, it will be crushed in the turbulent waves of the Great War of the North and South, and all the forces related to it will be destroyed, In this way, what is the point of everyone's hard work in vain?

The lesser of two evils, after weighing the forces of all parties, of course, chose to support Li Fengyun's active defensive strategy, but as far as the current situation in Anzhou is concerned, if you want to go north to attack weak Luoshui non-stop, you must win strong support from the Great Wall, especially the support of various war materials such as grain, grass and weapons, otherwise the northward attack is just an empty word.

Li Fengyun gave an affirmative answer, he had asked Li Zixiong to represent the alliance and propose this strategy to the Great Wall, and from the standpoint of Zhuojun Liufu, Anle County and Gubeikou, Anzhou's interests were closely related to their vital interests. Since Anzhou has been recovered, they can't lose it anymore, at least they can't lose it from their hands, otherwise the guilt will be great, so they have no choice but to support the alliance to attack weak Luoshui in the north. Since the agreement reached inside and outside the Great Wall, coupled with the fact that after the recovery of Anzhou, the situation of confrontation between the north and the south is gradually favorable to Middle-earth, if this situation can go further, let the alliance army sweep through the weak Luoshui, actually control the northeast, and take advantage of this situation to attract the attention of the Turks, and induce the Turks to fall into the northeast battlefield and find it difficult to extricate themselves, it will definitely give Middle-earth more advantages in the confrontation between the north and the south, so if nothing else, the Holy Lord and the center should give Anzhou a greater degree of support.

The forces of all parties basically accepted Li Fengyun's answer, but Antle the Rite questioned, "What if the Holy Lord and the Center of Middle-earth do not support it?" ”

Although Andriol is now forced to do his best to take charge of the finances of the alliance, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, the money and food brought by the alliance out of the fortress have been exhausted, and the seized income on the battlefield in Anzhou can only solve the urgent need, and the support in the Great Wall must not only supply the army to fight the war, but also ensure that the Han captives in Anzhou are fed and clothed, and it is also beyond their means. In this extremely difficult situation, even if the wealthy businessmen such as Andriol and Jian Bo take out their private wealth and pour everything they have, it will be a drop in the bucket and will not be able to support it for too long. For this reason, Andriol and other Han merchants were full of complaints about Li Fengyun, knowing that this was a bottomless pit, and they would rather give away all the wealth of Huaihuang Border City than listen to Li Fengyun's lies and schemes, and followed him to Anzhou to "cut meat and sell blood".

However, at the moment when the alliance's finances were unsustainable, Li Fengyun wanted to continue to fight, and it was a big war, and he had to fight a decisive battle with the Turks, Khitans, and Xia people on both sides of the weak Luoshui. This strategy sounds reasonable, seamless, and impeccable, but in fact it is simply talk on paper, nonsense, in a word, without money, food, weapons, what do you use to fight?

"Now we are all people in the same boat, and this boat is sailing in the storm, stormy seas, and is in danger of capsizing at any time, if we want to survive, if we want to successfully reach our destination, we can only unite and work together to do our best to persevere." Li Fengyun said without thinking, "We don't need to hold on for too long, we have a very great hope of living, and as long as we live, the future benefits will be very fruitful and immeasurable, so how long do we need to persevere?" Just hold on until the Great War of the North and South broke out. I believe that all of you here have great confidence in Middle-earth to win the Great War between the North and the South, and I also believe that Middle-earth can defeat the Turks, and my confidence comes from the fact that we have successfully turned the Northeast into a quagmire of war, and have used this quagmire to successfully contain and consume part of the strength of the Turks. This is where our credit comes from, and so do our future benefits. Therefore, we have no choice, for the sake of the fruitful interests of the future, we must face the storm, brave the stormy waves, and successfully reach the other side of victory. ”

Andriol couldn't help but secretly slander himself, Li Fengyun was deceiving people again by "painting cakes to satisfy hunger", but this method was still fresh for the first time, and it could still attract people, but if there were more, it wouldn't work, and he couldn't deceive people, so he just brought humiliation on himself.
