Li Fengyun led the army to advance towards Jishui.

Wang Ruxin returned to Wagang day and night, and the news he brought back made the Wagang people hesitate.

During the heated debate, Zhai Hong pointed to the point. If the aristocratic bureaucracy in the Yingru region saved the victims of the disaster in Henan, which is evidence that the Hongnong Yang clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan reached a political "tacit understanding", then can Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the Wei clan of Guanzhong not know? Now that they knew, how could they be defenseless? Since there is a precaution, then Shi Weiyun, the secretary of the Zhishu, went out of Beijing to inspect the Tongji Canal, which was naturally aimed at the Zheng clan in Xingyang, called the rebellion and the thieves, but in fact it was to further attack and weaken the local forces in Henan with the Zheng clan in Xingyang. Therefore, after careful consideration, it is not difficult to see that as long as it is a Guanlong person, they all hope to hit the Xingyang Zheng clan hard, in other words, this time Wei Yunqi left Beijing, and the supporting forces behind it should include all the Guanlong forces, especially when the Xingyang Zheng clan is crumbling, those who fall into the well must flock to it, and the Hongnong Yang family and the Heluo aristocratic group must be one of the people who fall into the well.

Zhai Hong's words not only represent a subversive change in his attitude towards raising the flag, but also a fundamental change in his thinking about the survival exhibition of the Wagang Army.

If Zhai Hong's inference is correct, he actively supports Wei Yunqi to fight against the Zheng clan in Xingyang, then as long as the Wagang people raise the banner, as long as they attack Weicheng or other Dongjun towns, Dugucheng will inevitably be bloodily suppressed, so that the Wagang army will be destroyed. Considering that Li Fengyun may be a wealthy family in Shandong behind him, it is absolutely impossible to help Wei Yunqi to fight against the Zheng clan in Xingyang, on the contrary, it is more likely to cooperate with the Zheng clan in Xingyang to fight the Guanlong people, so after the uprising of the Wagang Army, it is self-evident which road to choose.

"Li Fengyun is going north to Jishui, and I, Wagang, should abide by the agreement, go south, and attack Wei Yunqi with it." Zhai Hong waved his hand and said, "The matter has come to this, what's the point of making a pointless argument again?" ā€

But the change in Zhai Hong's attitude, in the eyes of Zhai Rang and other Wagang people, is a typical speculative behavior, and if you have milk, you are a mother. Before Zhai Hong pinned his hopes on the Xingyang Zheng family, he was unwilling to raise the flag to rebel, and avoided Li Fengyun and the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance like a snake and scorpion, and now he can't count on the Xingyang Zheng family, only on his own, he pinned his hope of survival on the Righteous Army Alliance, all in all, he is extremely unconfident in himself, cowardly and timid, seeing the wind and making the rudder, he has no courage to break the kettle from beginning to end.

"Brother knows anything about the Rebel Alliance?" Zhai Rang had to remind him that the Southwest Lu Rebel Army Alliance was not the unimaginable unity of the upper and lower levels, it was actually a loose coordination and unification body, and Li Fengyun completely relied on his strong strength and the complex entanglement of interests between the rebels from all walks of life to control a group of unruly people! Handsome. In the past, the heroes built an alliance because of the existential crisis, and now the heroes maintain the alliance in order to grow stronger, and then the heroes are stronger, their wings are hard, and they can compete with Li Fengyun, so the alliance will be unsustainable. Judging from the current Central Plains form, as long as Yang Nan, the king of Qi, leads his army out of Beijing to attack the alliance with strength, the alliance will inevitably collapse, and there is no need to wait for the expeditionary force to return victoriously.

Of course, Zhai Hong knows some of the alliance's situation, but he knows his brother better, Zhai Rang wants to live, so he doesn't want to be the first bird, and he doesn't want to burn and plunder with Li Fengyun and the Righteous Alliance. In Zhai Rang's eyes, Li Fengyun and the Righteous Army Alliance have no future and no hope, maybe they can escape the killing of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, but they can't escape the siege of the Weifu army from all sides. The day the expeditionary force returned victoriously, that is, when Li Fengyun and the Righteous Alliance perished, this is an undoubted thing, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and Li Fengyun and the Righteous Alliance have no power to fight back at all.

Zhai Hong admits that the future of Li Fengyun and the Rebel Alliance is dark, but he is lucky, and the luck comes from Li Fengyun's exhaustive analysis of the political situation in the Eastern Capital. Wang Ruxin brought back Li Fengyun's words in their original form, but Zhai Hong thought that these words could not come from Li Fengyun, it was very simple, and the only person who could analyze the political situation in the eastern capital in such detail was the big powerful who stood at the top of the power, so Li Fengyun was just a messenger. And the reason why Li Fengyun spread the word to Wagang was because Li Fengyun trusted the people behind him very much. The people behind Li Fengyun believed that no matter whether the Eastern Crusade was successful or not, it could not change the determination of the Eastern Capital to change the imperial system. Based on this, Li Fengyun determined that the political situation in the Eastern Capital would undergo drastic changes, the situation in Middle-earth would be turbulent, and the wave of uprisings would sweep the world, and there would be great prospects for the future.

Zhai Hong is determined to gamble, although Zhai Rang's caution may make the Wagang people survive longer, but if they don't have the strength, they can't seize the opportunity, and the opportunity is fleeting, and if they miss it, they won't have anything, and the Wagang people still have nothing in the end, in this case, why not gamble with everything? Anyway, it's all a road to the dark, anyway, the Zhai family has already decayed, what else is there to care about?

"No matter what the future of Li Fengyun and the Righteous Army Alliance is, the Wagang people cannot be treacherous at this moment." Zhai Hong's tone was very resolute.

Shan Xiongzhong, Shan Xiongxin brothers, Wang Yaohan, Wang Bodang brothers, and Wang Dangren all agreed with Zhai Hong's proposition. Going north to the big river, although he can get Xu Shiyan's help and support, but the Lihu Xu family has its own interests, and there are Shandong wealthy families behind the Lihu Xu family, when it is a matter of the life and death of the Lihu Xu family, don't say that Xu Shiyan can't protect the Wagang brothers, even if Xu Gai is willing to pay for the entire family, I'm afraid he can't save it.

Li Gongyi and Fang Xianbo looked at each other and stopped each other.

"A few days ago, Xu Dalang sent a letter, trying his best to build yƬ Ming Gong to go north to the river after raising the flag, in order to avoid the edge of the official army." Li Gongyi said, "We can find a way to retreat from the big river in the north, and in the case of necessity, we can not only go away to Douzigang to form an alliance with Hebei Zhuxiong, but also enter Qijun Huimeng Qilu Qunhao along Jishui." ā€

"Duke Ming, the shape of the Tongji Canal is getting worse and worse, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, will definitely go out of the Beijing Rebellion, once the Jinggi garrison is dispatched, tens of thousands of troops will enter the Tongji Canal, how can Li Fengyun and the Righteous Army Alliance resist?" Fang Xianbo said earnestly, "Li Fengyun's invitation to Ming Gong and his attack on Wei Yunqi shows that his strength is insufficient, and he has no determination to fight against the water, let alone the confidence to defeat Wei Yunqi. Ming Gong, the Tongji Canal in front of him, as Xu Dalang said, is a bottomless roaring whirlpool, and whoever falls into it will have no bones. With the meager strength of my Wagang, how dare you ride the wind and waves on the earth-shattering whirlpool? ā€

Zhai Rang's expression was stern and silent. His original intention of asking Li Fengyun for help was to hope that Li Fengyun would help him contain Wei Yunqi on the Jishui line, and then he would fight Weicheng, and if he couldn't beat it, he would go north to the river to join Xu Shiyun and transfer to the river for refuge. Wagang is such a small person, his strength is weak, and he can't even make a splash when he enters the battlefield of Tongji Canal, which is simply a stupid move to kill himself without measuring his own strength.

This self-knowledge is still there for him, Xu Shiyan is more sober than him, and he knew that the Zheng family in Xingyang was unreliable, so he returned to Lihu and Puyang early to recruit people and horses to accumulate strength. Zhai Rang decided that Li Fengyun would give him this favor, and it was true, Wang Ruxin ran very smoothly this time, however, to his surprise, there was a problem inside Wagang. Although this has something to do with Li Fengyun's words to Wagang, the real root cause of the intensification of internal contradictions in Wagang is that Wagang people have a completely different view of their future.

The Wagang people with Zhai Hong, Shan Xiongxin and others knew that the Zheng family in Xingyang could not be counted on, and the road to rely on the protection of the wealthy family was cut off, so Yu Crisp turned around and defected to Li Fengyun, the strongest rebel leader, relying on the strength of the rebel alliance to survive and develop, and used the knife in his hand to fight a bloody road, and the Wagang people with Xu Shiyan, Li Gongyi, and Fang Xianbo, because they are still mixed on the white road, and also have the status of the last nobles and wealthy people, the idea is of course complicated, if Zhai Rang openly raises the flag to rebel, they will be a part of Wagang, Even if they didn't participate in the rebellion, they would be affected, and their vested interests would be wiped out in an instant, so they naturally protected their interests, hoping that Zhai would take refuge in the river and continue to mix with the underworld.

In this way, any kind of decision made by Zhai Rang cannot take into account the interests of all his brothers, either offending the brothers who have nothing and have become thieves, or offending other brothers who are still living in Baidao, it is difficult to do both.

Zhai Rang sighed secretly, and turned his gaze to Bing Yuanzhen, who had never spoken.

Bing Yuan really understood, smiled slightly, stroked his beard and asked, "I want to ask, if Li Fengyun defeats Wei Yunqi, how will the situation in Tongji Canal change?" How will the political situation in the Eastern Capital change? ā€

Everyone was speechless. Can Li Fengyun defeat Wei Yunqi?

"Li Fengyun passed the word, and the point was that the Zheng clan in Xingyang was fighting back, whether it was an alliance with the Wei clan in Guanzhong or an alliance with the Yang clan in Hongnong, there was no doubt that its purpose was to fight back. Second, in order to prevent reform, the conservative forces in the eastern capital are plotting to change the imperial system. Brothers should still remember the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, that kind of large-scale rebellion had an extremely terrifying impact on Middle-earth, and the slightest carelessness would lead to the collapse of the country and chaos in the world. Although there is no conclusive evidence for these things, the same story has been repeated throughout the dynasties since ancient times, and in fact it certainly exists. Bing Yuanzhen looked at everyone and asked, "Why does Li Fengyun know these things?" And why did he sue us? ā€

Everyone looked different and was silent in thought.

Bing Yuanzhen smiled, "I think that Li Fengyun is hinting to us that he is absolutely sure of defeating Wei Yunqi because the power behind him is too strong. Since the power behind him is so powerful, powerful enough to control the Tongjiqu battlefield, then everything in the future is possible. ā€

Bing Yuanzhen couldn't convince Li Gongyi and Fang Xianbo, but more Wagang people strengthened their idea of fighting south, and some of them were even determined to defect to Li Fengyun and fight to the death for their future.

Zhai Rang no longer hesitated, since it was difficult to have both, then take into account the interests of most of the brothers, and take the Wagang army south to Jishui to attack Wei Yunqi.
