"So your goal is to defeat Zhang Xutuo, not to establish an alliance, so in your planning, you haven't considered Wang Shuai's southward movement from beginning to end, isn't that so?" Li Fengyun asked.
Du Fuwei nodded solemnly, "Whether Wang Shuai goes south or not will not have much impact on the battle situation." ”
Li Fengyun shook his hand and began to tell about the decisive role of Wang Bo's southward movement in reversing the battle situation in northeastern Lu, which led to the deduction of the Hebei shaped shì, which was not only closely related to the Henan shaped shì, but also closely related to the political situation in the eastern capital, and then the change in the political situation in the eastern capital deduced the upcoming crisis of the alliance, and the alliance's strategy to deal with the crisis was not to attack Zhang Xutuo in the north, but to attack Xuzhou in the south.
"One of the purposes of our attack on Xuzhou is to attract the main force of the official army to the south, so as to give Wang Shuai the opportunity to cross the river and enter Qichuang." Li Fengyun looked at Du Fuwei with a stunned face, and said with a smile, "Wang Shuai's secret envoy is returning to Douzigang day and night with a certain promise, I believe that it won't be long before Wang Shuai will get in touch with you and discuss the strategy of joining forces to attack Zhang Xutuo." ”
Du Fuwei was impressed by Li Fengyun's plan, but this layout is too large, the three rebels act at the same time, whether they can achieve the expected goal, the key depends on the ability of the executor, but also depends on whether the executor can seize the fighter, as long as any of the links make a mistake, the result will be difficult to achieve.
At the same time, Du Fuwei was also ashamed. The heroes of northeastern Lu are arrogant and short-sighted, thinking that Li Fengyun is in trouble, and they can fall into the well and take the opportunity to "blackmail" him. This is a thing that is beneficial to everyone and harmless, and no one has any reason to refuse. Li Fengyun has great wisdom and courage, and he is a person who does great things, but in comparison, the heroes in Northeast Lu are really vulgar and unbearable, and it is difficult to become a big tool.
"Ming Gong, the people of Hebei will definitely help Wang Shuai?" Du Fuwei was a little skeptical, after all, although the Hebei people crossing the river to the south could not be said to be unprofitable, but except for the diversion of the eastern capital to the east and the diversion of the attention of the eastern capital to Qilu, there was no other substantial benefit.
"There's no doubt about that." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." If the Second Eastern Crusade is won, the rebel army in the north and south of the Great River will inevitably face an existential crisis, so before the end of the Second Eastern Crusade, we must expand to a certain scale to survive. The defeat of this year's Eastern Crusade actually gave us a year of precious time, which is the favor of God, and we must cherish it, but the one-year exhibition time is still too short, we must find a way to speed up the exhibition, and the strategy is to control Qilu, occupy Qilu, use Qilu as a base, and cut off the hegemony. This policy is not only beneficial to the Qilu Righteous Army, but also to the Hebei Righteous Army, the two righteous armies joined forces, and the advance could be attacked and retreated, which greatly increased the survivability. Therefore, I can tell you with certainty that the Hebei Righteous Army will definitely help Wang Shuai to attack Zhang Xutuo in the south. ”
Duvowe was silent. He can accept the reason Li Fengyun said, but can Meng Rang and other heroes accept it? The people of Hebei crossed the river and went south, should they really fight for the interests of the future? Do you really have no other ideas and other goals? The people of Hebei have the interests of the people of Hebei, and the people of Qilu have the interests of the people of Qilu, and this kind of regional and local interests exist in the fact that they exist between the official, the people, the white road, the underworld, and even the rebel army
Li Fengyun also noticed that once this kind of narrow regional and local interests are not handled well, it will hinder or even destroy the established plan, so he warned Du Fuwei, "After you go back, you must warn Meng Shuai and other heroes from all walks of life, since defeating Zhang Xutuo is everyone's common goal, then in order to achieve this common goal, everyone must temporarily put aside all contradictions and conflicts and work together, otherwise the consequences will be worrying." ”
"What is Ming Gong worried about?" Duvowe asked.
"The sooner Wang Shuai crosses the river and goes south, the better." Li Fengyun elaborated on many of the key points, "If Wang Shuai crosses the river to the south and drags on until after the river is unblocked, the fighter plane will be lost, and once Zhang Xutuo is defeated, the righteous army from all walks of life will be severely damaged, and it will inevitably collapse." If you can't contain Zhang Xutuo, the more difficult the situation in southwest Lu will be, and the consequences will be self-evident. ”
Du Fuwei nodded again and again, indicating that he would definitely bring this warning to him.
After finishing the topic, the two chatted casually. Du Fuwei humbly sought advice, from the way of attack and defense to the art of war, from the general trend of the world to the future prospects, there are many questions, and Li Fengyun is very patient, there are always questions to answer, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed the trajectory of the historical exhibition, although he implied this trajectory in all kinds of deductions, but for a talented person like Du Fuwei, since he remembered it, it will inevitably have an impact on his future.
"In the eyes of Ming Gong, the Eastern Crusade will definitely fail, the Northern Captives will definitely invade the South, the Holy Lord will definitely lose his authority, and all kinds of crises will explode together, and eventually it will evolve into chaos in the world, the defeat of the country, and the collapse of the great cause of reunification." Du Fuwei asked with a solemn expression, "Ming Gong deduced from this and was determined to dominate the world?" ”
Li Fengyun shook his hand, "If the shape is displayed like this, of course, it is in our best interest, but this is only one of the many deductions, and it is alarmist, but for those of us, if we want to survive, if we want to seek a good future, of course, the more chaotic the better." ”
"If the shape is really as deduced by the Ming Gong, does the Ming Gong plan to dominate according to Qilu, or to claim the king according to Henan?"
"Qilu is not a place of hegemony, and Henan has no danger to defend, if you want to achieve great things, you need to find another place." Li Fengyun had no intention of concealing it and told him bluntly.
Du Fuwei's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Ming Gong wants to go north?" Didn't Ming Gong say that the Northern Captives were going to invade and break out the Great War between the North and the South? ”
Li Fengyun pondered a little and nodded slightly, "A certain is determined to kill captives, so a certain must go north, and he will go north soon." ”
Duvowe stopped talking, his mind full of questions. The more you know about Li Fengyun and the more you know about his whimsical and unbelievable ideas, the deeper the doubts in Du Fuwei's heart become. It is difficult for him to agree with some of Li Fengyun's deductions, nor can he understand some of Li Fengyun's ideas, and he even feels that Li Fengyun is a contradiction that is out of touch with the times, and it is impossible to interpret it with normal thinking.
Du Fuwei came and went in a hurry, although he could clearly feel that Li Fengyun was still as close and sincere to him as ever, but the disparity between the two sides was too great, and as Li Fengyun's strength became stronger and stronger, and even the manipulation of the regional situation was to the point of ease, he became more and more afraid of Li Fengyun, and he even had an ominous premonition, a premonition that Qilu would be controlled by Li Fengyun, and all the heroes in Qilu were in Li Fengyun's calculations.
On September 13, the Holy Lord and the Central Hub returned to the Eastern Capital in a very low-key manner, there was neither a grand celebration ceremony, nor a grand welcome ceremony, not even a joyful atmosphere, the Eastern Capital trembled in extreme depression, and everyone had a sense of crisis that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
On the 14th, at the political meeting of Shangshudu Province, the main topic of discussion was to report on the results of the Eastern Crusade and the domestic situation.
The impact of the defeat of the Crusade was enormous, and it was imperative to find ways to minimize the adverse effects, and then to hold the culprits accountable for the defeat and seek a way to save the Crusade.
The domestic situation is mainly focused on the rebellion in the north and south of the Great River, especially the alliance of thieves in southwest Lu led by the white thief Li Fengyun, which raged in the Central Plains this summer, and Yan zhòng endangered the safety of Gyeonggi and the safety of the Eastern Expedition. The main reason for the unfavorable rebellion of King Yang of Qi was not the lack of troops, nor the improper command, but the insufficient supply of grain, grass and weapons. The reason why the supply of military supplies is not available, on the one hand, is because the counties along the river in Henan have been affected by disasters for two consecutive years, the financial endowment has been sharply reduced, the warehouses are empty, and the local government is unable to pay, and on the other hand, because the eastern capital is trying to ensure the supply of military supplies on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, it cannot be open to supply the needs of the rebellion.
For the deteriorating and deteriorating domestic situation, the left-behind ministers certainly bear an unshirkable responsibility. The Holy Lord was furious and scolded a group of left-behind ministers.
Everyone is a senior "player" in the political arena, whether it is the secret behind the defeat of the Eastern Crusade or the real reason for the deterioration of the domestic situation, they all know each other, spread out and say that it is not interesting, the lid that should be covered must be covered, the lies that should be said must be said, and the time it is time to compromise and make concessions must be clear.
The Holy Lord was furious and scolded sharply, in fact, it is a big thing to turn into a small thing, a small matter, let go in advance in the country, how to play and how to play the "catty" behind it, but in the same way, about the Eastern Crusade, you have to give in if you should give in, don't confront me. If you confront me, I will not make a big deal small, but I will be held accountable and beheaded and killed.
After some discussion, the Holy Lord synthesized the opinions of the central ministers, and finally decided that Duan Da, the general of Zuo Yiwei, was in charge of the Hebei rebellion, and the rebel army was transferred from Zhuo County, and Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, temporarily served as Zhuo County's guard, ensuring that the northern Xinjiang, especially Youyan and the western Liaoning border towns, provided strong support for Duan Da's rebellion.
The Henan rebellion was in charge of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, the Qilu rebellion was in charge of Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the water division, and the Xuzhou rebellion was in charge of Liang Dezhong, the general of Hu Benlang.
Among the supreme commanders of the three rebellions, the identity of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is the highest, and the key targets of the three rebellions are the white thief Li Fengyun, and now Li Fengyun is at the junction of Henan, Qilu and Xuzhou, and is fighting fiercely with Yang Lan, the king of Qi, according to the principle of giving priority to the rebellion, it is natural that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, should be appointed as the supreme commander of the three rebellions, and he will concentrate on commanding the armies of the three places to encircle and suppress the rebels. However, both the Holy Lord and most of the central ministers deliberately ignored the principle of "giving priority to the rebellion", directly ignored the correct construction of some people, and separated the military power on the battlefield where it was most necessary to concentrate military power.
No one cares about the risks, and no one cares about the success or failure of the rebellion, and it doesn't really matter whether the traitor Li Fengyun can be killed or not, the important thing is that he must contain Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to show his own strength as much as possible, so as to minimize Yang Lan's impact on the political situation in the Eastern Capital.
The purpose of Yang Lan's departure from Beijing is clear to everyone, and the reason why Yang Lan was able to lead the army out of Beijing is inseparable from the "help" of certain political forces, and the sinister intentions of these political forces are also clear to the Holy Lord. In that case, let's fight and see whose hand the deer dies.
When Yang Lan, the king of Qi, received the edict from the Eastern Capital, Li Fengyun's allied army had already begun to move on a large scale, which made the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly tense.
Wei Baoluan deduced that Li Fengyun was going north to Jishui, and Li Shanheng judged that Li Fengyun might have to go south to Xuzhou, but no matter what Li Fengyun's true purpose was, the battle situation had entered a new stage, and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was full of confidence and was full of expectations for the political benefits that could be obtained after defeating Li Fengyun
However, the edict of the Eastern Capital poured a basin of cold water on his head, which made him feel cold. The Holy Lord didn't want to see him, which was expected by the King of Qi, and it was normal for the political opponents of the Eastern Capital to deliberately attack him, but the political allies of the Eastern Capital failed to seek the most basic benefits for him, which was abnormal, and this was simply forcing him to a dead end.
"Why? Why didn't Lone get the military power he needed? King Qi was furious and questioned Wei Fusi.
Whether he can obtain the military power of the three places and whether he can concentrate on commanding the army of the three places is not only related to whether the king of Qi can quickly extend his power to Qilu and Xuzhou, but also whether he can expand his power to a certain scale in the shortest possible time. There is only one year left until the end of the Second Eastern Crusade, and if the King of Qi fails to develop within this year, then when the Holy Lord returns from the Second Eastern Crusade in victory, what will the King of Qi do to compete with him?
Wei Fusi smiled bitterly and was speechless. He thought of Li Fengyun's scattered and weird white, and remembered Li Fengyun's incredible and strange words.
Li Fengyun once said that the Holy Lord would "tacitly" cooperate with the political opponents of the Eastern Capital to put the King of Qi to death. Facts have proved that Li Fengyun was right, although the Holy Lord and the reform forces suffered political defeat due to the defeat of the Eastern Crusade, this did not mean that the Holy Lord and the reformers were passively beaten in the political situation, so they had to compromise and make concessions to the conservative forces, and even had to let Yang Nan, the king of Qi, enter the East Palace. Facts have proved that the Holy Lord will indeed compromise on some aspects, but he will never make the slightest concession in the battle for imperial dominance.
Li Fengyun predicted the failure of the Eastern Crusade, and the Eastern Crusade failed miserably. Li Fengyun predicted that after the defeat of the Eastern Crusade, the situation of the King of Qi was even more difficult, and as a result, the King of Qi even took out the power to fight the rebellion and "flew". Now what does the King of Qi have besides the 20,000 army? There is nothing, if the eastern capital cuts off the supply of military supplies, the king of Qi will not even be able to keep these 20,000 troops.
"We have to go south to Xuzhou." Li Shanheng said solemnly, "Since the Holy Lord doesn't even give the power to fight the rebellion, then we must be prepared for the cut off of military supplies at a critical moment. ”
King Qi changed color in shock. The Holy Lord will not poison the tiger and eat the child, but the opponent does not have such a bodhisattva heart, and they will not let go of any opportunity to kill themselves.
If the king of Qi and his 20,000 troops wanted to replenish enough grain and grass, they had to go south to Xuzhou. Henan has been continuously affected, one poor and two white; Qilu is similar, what do you want; Only Xuzhou, the wind and rain are smooth, the warehouse is rich, and it is very close to the river, and the river is even richer, the land of fish and rice, what do you want. But under what pretext did the King of Qi go south to Xuzhou?
"Make an appointment with Li Fengyun immediately and order him to go south to Xuzhou." King Qi glared at Wei Fusi and sneered, "Who would have thought that he would be so lonely and destitute that he would have to survive by robbing his family." ”
