On the tenth day of the first month of March, Li Fengyun, Li Hun, and Li Zixiong led their troops to Chelianchuan.

The four chieftains of the Khitan tribe, including Kirqin, Xitu, Guo Erluo and Weng, had already gathered in Chelianchuan with the control strings of the expedition, and when they saw the vast number of people coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Previously, the four chieftains had fought side by side with Han Shige and other alliance generals in Chelianchuan, and they were familiar with each other, so they were very cordial when they saw each other at this moment, and they met Li Fengyun, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and the two deputy marshals Li Hun and Li Zixiong.

The three handsome people surnamed Li, the old, middle and young generations, among which the white wolf is the most famous, the most humble, the youngest, but also the most powerful, and followed by Li Hun, who is not confused and noble, as for the meritorious veteran Li Zixiong, who is white and cangcang, he will accompany the last seat. This strange composition at the top of the Anton Expeditionary Force made the four barbarian chieftains feel puzzled, but also the more they were afraid of the murderous, bloody slaughter, and notorious white wolf, and the more they were afraid of this expedition.

However, they then saw more expeditionary generals, many of whom were surprised by the appearance of familiar and unfamiliar faces. Among them, there are the Turkic Golden Wolf Imperial Family of the original Song Desert Tooth Banner, the Buli Shean Ashina Duer, the former King of the Xi Clan, Ah Huizheng, the strong Boloyak and Samahitu of the six tribes of the Fei Tribe, and the original Khitan Eight Alliance Leader Dahe Duluo and the strong Yelu Tieli and Naiman Qingchuan.

These people have a lot of grudges and grievances, and it is difficult for them to put aside their contradictions and gather together, but now they are not only gathered under the same banner, but they also work tirelessly and heedless of the danger to personally lead the army to participate in the expedition, what does this mean?

Goguryeo and the Turks are allies, and the relationship with the Donghu tribes is even closer, the two sides have no life and death enmity, now Goguryeo is attacked by the Middle Earth every year, the former Far East overlord is scarred and dying, at this moment Goguryeo is neither to the Turks nor to the Donghu tribes There is no threat, but the fact is that everyone followed the Middle Turks to the expedition to Goguryeo with high spirits, and fell into the well with great interest, which is enough to show that this expedition not only has an absolute chance of victory, but also can take advantage of the fire to rob and plunder, By looting the wealth of Goguryeo to promote the development and growth of their own tribes and tribes, they can win the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. Of course, we must move forward, go all out, and lead by example.

Indeed, the scene in front of him not only shocked the four chieftains such as Khitan Kirqin, but also the situation in the past half a month or so was far beyond Li Fengyun's expectations, which surprised him and caught him off guard, so he had to decide to stop at Chelianchuan to rest and rethink and adjust the expedition strategy.

According to Li Fengyun's original intention, with the backing of force, coerced Ashina and his subordinate Turkic control strings, as well as Xi, Xi and Khitan and other Donghu species to participate in this expedition, on the one hand, to increase the expeditionary force, on the other hand, to reduce the hidden danger of Anton, but considering the resistance and opposition of the Donghu tribes due to various reasons, Li Fengyun specially made a provision in the conscription order, all kinds of tribes only need to send about 30% of the headquarters to control the strings, after all, the old and weak women and children of the tribes must be protected, and the previous tribes have suffered great losses because of repeated battles. It is in urgent need of recuperation and recuperation, and it is not advisable to go on another expedition.

However, Li Fengyun seriously underestimated the tenacious will to survive that the tribes had cultivated in a cruel environment.

Ashnagar must be strong, otherwise the khan bestowed by the emperor of Middle-earth will be a joke to him, and he does not have the strength to do what khan? How will they return to the desert in the future? Ah Hui is about to grow, otherwise the Ah Hui Department will soon be destroyed, and the Yao Yuan Ministry, which disappeared overnight, is a bloody example; Dahe Duluo, Naiman Qingchuan, Yelu Tieli and other Khitan powerhouses also want to grow, this time they escaped a catastrophe, in the face of the powerful Middle-earth army, they wisely chose to surrender and surrender, did not follow in the footsteps of the defeat of the Yao Yuan, but what about the future? If you want to live and live for a long time, you must be strong; The strong people of the Xi tribe, such as Boloyak, Huochi Mengke and Samahitu, are also going to grow, and originally among the six tribes of the Xia tribe, the Batu and Sutai tribes on both sides of the Heihe River are the strongest, but where are they now? Killed by the Middle-earthers to the point of dying, if it weren't for the Middle-earth people who wanted to appease the tribes of the Fei tribe and deliberately show mercy to the net, there are now four tribes left in the Fei tribe, so if you want to survive, you must be strong.

The Northeast is so big, and the banks of the weak Luoshui are very barren, all kinds of tribes must be strong, how to be strong? In addition to annexing each other, the only way to go out of the northeast and open up a larger living space is to do so, but this requires strength, and they do not have such strength.

Today, however, there is an opportunity to go out and follow the Middle-earth army on an expedition to Goguryeo.

Originally, this kind of cheap was not their turn to take advantage of, so they could only stand by and watch the excitement, but the people of Middle-earth suddenly killed Anton, and they were all over the pot, and what is more coincidental is that although the overlord of the Far East, Goguryeo, created a miracle, defeated more with less, defeated the strong with the weak, and successfully saved his own destiny of destruction, but the repeatedly frustrated Middle-earth was completely enraged, like a tiger that had lost its mind, and attacked wildly again and again, Goguryeo suffered unprecedented heavy blows, and was bruised all over his body, and now he is dying, completely in a desperate situation, At this time, the powerful and tireless Middle-earth once again attacked Goguryeo, and the result can be imagined, Goguryeo will die.

Although Goguryeo, the overlord of the Far East, has been "hollowed out" by the cruel and bloody battlefield, the dead camel is bigger than the horse, the fruits of victory are still abundant, the people of Middle-earth eat meat, and their servants who wave their flags and shout can earn a full bowl as long as they drink a few mouthfuls of soup, and they can make their thin bodies quickly become stronger, so Ashina Duer, the Turkic golden wolf royal family, Xi, Xia and Khitan and other Eastern Hu species, all made a choice exactly the same as Li Fengyun, That is, to do his best to expedition to Goguryeo, and in the end, even if he only "eats" some "leftovers and cold burns" on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, it is enough to make great progress in his strength.

And more importantly, they show their loyalty to Middle-earth, and they can win Middle-earth's recognition and protection. After the fall of Goguryeo, Middle-earth is the overlord of the Far East, in the past, because they are too far away from Middle-earth, the value of Middle-earth is very small, and they can't climb high if they have the heart to climb Middle-earth, the future will be different, the future of Middle-earth is the overlord of the Far East, the territory of Middle-earth has expanded to the Far East, if they want to survive and have a better future, they must not only submit to Middle-earth, but also let Middle-earth see their value, only in this way, can they go further and further on the road of exhibition.

With this kind of "cheap must be taken" mentality, all kinds of tribes flocked to the city, especially the Xi people, near the water and the platform to get the first month, get the earliest news, and the most fully prepared, the five tribes in addition to the old and weak women and children and leave the necessary protective force, the rest poured out. The Xi people are good at building cars, the transportation vehicles are not only sturdy, but also have a large loading capacity, the five tribes in the name of helping the expeditionary force transport grain and grass, the transport vehicles of the entire tribe were mobilized, five or six thousand carts, plus the carts of other tribes, the size of the convoy reached an astonishing more than 10,000 vehicles. The same is true for the Khitans, although they got the news relatively late, but the tribes happened to be scattered on the eastward route of the expeditionary force, and with the arrival of the expeditionary force in Chelianchuan, the expeditionary teams of the Khitan tribes also came in succession, making the total number of Andong's expeditionary army quickly exceeded more than 200,000, and it continues to grow.

Li Fengyun saw it in his eyes and knew what was going on, but he was powerless to dissuade him. Who said that the savage captives are low in wisdom? Although they drink blood, and even many races have no written culture, they are no worse than the knowledgeable and cultured Middle-earthites who do this kind of cheap thing of robbing by fire and falling into the well.

Li Fengyun convened a high-level military meeting of the expeditionary force.

On the side of Middle Earth, there are Li Zixiong, Li Hun, Han Shige, Chen Rui, Han Yao, Yuan An and other civil and military officials, and the captives of various castes include Ashina Duer, Mengba, Chu and Suzhi, Dahe Duluo, Naiman Qingchuan, Boloyak and others.

Li Fengyun got straight to the point and went straight to the point. The number of the expeditionary force is increasing, and it is seriously expected, the grain and grass are in crisis, and it is difficult to support it now, but Chelianchuan is still five or six hundred miles away from Fuyu City, and Fuyu City is thousands of miles away from Huaiyuan Town in Liaodong, so it is impossible to count on the support of the Liaodong base camp in the short term, and more importantly, once the Liaodong base camp hears that the Anton expeditionary army has more than 200,000 people, will it still allow the Andong army to go south to Huaiyuan Town to meet? Once the Liaodong base camp makes a decision to require the Anton Expeditionary Force to attack alone, go hand in hand with the expeditionary force in the direction of Liaodong, and form a two-way joint attack, the grain and grass crisis of the Anton Expeditionary Force will inevitably explode, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

No one responded, and the atmosphere was dreary.

Li Zixiong and other officials with the surname Han were particularly depressed, and their eyes were quite unkind when they looked at the chiefs. It's a good thing, it's just ruined by this group of barbarians, no one thought that the chieftains of all kinds would be so enthusiastic about the expedition to Goguryeo, and after thinking about it carefully in the face of the facts, now they still neglect a lot of things and don't think about it well.

The tribes were actively on expeditions, partly because they blindly worshiped the mighty Middle-earth, believing that the battle would be won, and they had the intention of picking up the bargains, and in addition they could show their loyalty and reap the benefits, so why not? Part of the reason is not simple.

Last year, there were frequent wars in Anzhou and Northeast China, and the tribes suffered great losses, and the Xi tribes in Anzhou could still get some relief, while the tribes on both sides of the weak Luoshui River were in trouble, and there was little relief left to the tribes, and the problem could not be solved at all. If they don't think of a way, don't think about change, and blindly struggle to get by, then when Middle-earth destroys Goguryeo and frees up their hands to deal with them, how will they deal with it? As long as they actively participate in this expedition, not only can the men and horses who go out on the expedition rely on the grain and grass of Middle-earth to solve their stomach problems, but the old and weak women and children of the left-behind tribes can also rely on the few food to live, and as long as the expedition is won, the participating tribes can not only win the favor of Middle-earth, but also divide the spoils, so that their tribes can quickly recover.

In addition, more importantly, judging from the current situation in Modong, once the Turks on the desert learned that Andong's main army had made an expedition to Goguryeo, Andong was empty, and they would inevitably launch a counteroffensive. After the Turks entered Andong, the Middle-earthers could retreat to the Great Wall, but what about the Donghu tribes that had already suffered heavy losses and were unsustainable? Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, it is better for all kinds of strings and tribes to take advantage of the opportunity of the expedition to Goguryeo and leave the nest. If this prediction came true, wouldn't it be right that after the destruction of Goguryeo, the Middle-earth army would inevitably attack Andong again, and they could then use the power of Middle-earth to kill their homeland and then rebuild their homes with the spoils of the Eastern Crusade?

The tribes of all kinds only cared about their own survival, and participated in this expedition with unprecedented enthusiasm, but the result was too much, which directly brought a food and grass crisis to the Anton Expeditionary Force and trapped the Anton Expeditionary Force in an embarrassing situation.
