Yiqiē is still speculating, they are all staying at the stage of talking about the army on paper, how the situation will unfold, no one can say for sure, but once the mutiny is exposed, Yang Xuangan has no choice, only to move in advance, and every day in advance, it means that the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force will return to the Eastern Capital one day earlier, which means that the risk of failure of the mutiny will increase

Hu Shitan continued to ask, "What does Li Fengyun think of Xijing?" "Hu Shitan is the oldest here, and he is one of the core planners of the mutiny, and he has won the trust and reliance of Yang Xuangan, and it is best for him to question it.

Li Min's feelings were a little low, originally he still had some expectations, and he didn't think much of Li Fengyun's prediction, but judging from the expressions of the mutiny planners in front of him, it was obvious that the situation was not optimistic.

"Li Fengyun said, don't have expectations for Xijing, it's a pure waste of time and suicide." Li Min smiled bitterly, "Li Fengyun believes that if the mutiny moves in advance, it must be prepared for the failure of the mutiny, that is to say, at any cost, by unscrupulous means, the best strategy is to attack the eastern capital." As long as we take the eastern capital, we can get the capital to bargain with Xijing, although taking the eastern capital can not bring us a decisive advantage, but at least we have a glimmer of life, if we seize this line of vitality, and form a long-term confrontation with the Holy Lord, then the domestic situation will inevitably unfold in our favor, just wait for the domestic chaos, rebellion swarms, local separation, the central government loses control over the locality, then Xijing will inevitably change its attitude, such a big thing can be achieved, on the contrary, a complete defeat. ”

Hu Shitan, Yang Xuangan and the others looked at each other, their expressions were very solemn.

"If we break with Xijing, where is our hope?" Master Hu asked with a pun.

"Don't expect King Qi, Li Fengyun said, King Qi has been abandoned, and the use value is not great, his banner must not be erected, and if he erects a thousand people, he will die faster." Li Min said this, looked up at Yang Xuangan, and stopped talking.

Hu Shitan was keenly aware of what Li Min thought, that is, to ask Yang Xuangan to consider self-reliance, and in fact, Yang Xuangan did have such thoughts, but it was not the time to make it public, it would definitely be a bad thing to say it, and once the internal centrifugation was detached, it would be over, so he immediately diverted the topic, "Since Li Fengyun knows our predicament, why does he pretend to be Han Xiangguo to confuse Yuzhou and coerce us to support his food?" ”

Li Min was silent. He came to Liyang to deliver the message on behalf of Li Fengyun, of course, knowing that Li Fengyun's real goal was not food, but to obtain part of the decision-making power of this mutiny. Whether Li Fengyun has the ability to influence the decision-making of this mutiny is a prerequisite for whether he can profit from this mutiny, otherwise he will become Yang Xuangan's "pawn", and he will be swayed by Yang Xuangan, and he will not be able to decide his own fate, what benefits can he gain from it?

Li Min believed that Yang Xuangan, Hu Shitan and others must have guessed Li Fengyun's true intentions, but they had no intention of compromise, and the decision-making power of the mutiny was not allowed to be compromised, this was a matter of principle, and there was no room for bargaining. Therefore, Li Min knew that he had run in vain and gained nothing.

Hu Shitan looked at Li Min with blazing eyes, and did not mean to let Li Min "be silent". Li Min was a little uneasy, this time he came to Liyang, and when he saw these old friends, he was very clearly aware of the estrangement and estrangement between them. It's normal to think about it carefully, although Li Zixiong actively supported the mutiny, but in the case of failing to lead the mutiny, not only did he not get out with the King of Qi and several Guanlong bigwigs who supported the King of Qi, but also pulled Li Fengyun, a thief, into the mutiny, and Li Fengyun was a native of Hebei, and Li Fengyun's thieves gathered many Shandong bandits such as Hebei, Henan, Qilu, etc., in terms of the contradictions between Shandong and Guanlong, cooperating with these Shandong traitors contained too much risk, and it would do more harm than good. In other words, so far, Li Zixiong has not only not given Li Yang substantial help, but has brought a series of troubles and potential hidden dangers to Li Yang, which cannot help but allow Li Yang to speculate on Li Zixiong's intentions with malice.

Yang Xuangan gestured to Li Min with his eyes, hoping that Li Min would reply. He needed this answer, and the core members of the mutiny sitting also needed Li Min's answer, which was very important and related to their next decision.

Li Min's mood is complicated. At present, the forces involved in the mutiny are ostensibly seeking cooperation, but in fact they are trying to use this mutiny to maximize their own interests, and Yang Xuangan, as the top decision-maker of this mutiny, has in fact had selfish intentions from the beginning and wants to stand on his own, but as a result, his negotiations with Xijing have been fruitless for a long time, and the cooperation with the Shandong people is also insincere.

Yang Xuangan and his allies seem to have gone into the misunderstanding of putting the cart before the horse, if the mutiny fails, what profit do they have? Therefore, the core issue at present should be to win the cooperation and support of all parties at any cost, first succeed in the mutiny, overthrow the Holy Lord and the reformers, and then carry out a new round of political games. However, what Li Min sees is a group of powerful people who are unwilling to give up or even temporarily give up their own interests, which is obviously "short-sighted" and wrong thinking, and how likely is the success of the decisions made according to this line of thinking?

Li Min thought of Li Fengyun's frank conversation with himself before leaving. Li Fengyun is right, the reason why the gate lord clan government is going to decay and end, narrow-mindedness and selfishness is its fundamental reason, they have always put their own interests above the interests of Middle-earth and the kingdom, as a result, Middle-earth has suffered from more than 400 years of division and war, the change of dynasty is as fast as a marquee, and they live a good life, but this kind of good life with the arrival of the unification of Middle-earth, with the Holy Lord and the reformers picking up the big knife and mercilessly slashing at them, is gone, so a desperate struggle began. Who wins and who loses? Li Fengyun believed that this mutiny was the key to determining the victory or defeat of both sides, and that the clan representing the decay and the end of the clan would inevitably perish because of their selfishness.

Who will betray Yang Xuangan? Who will betray this mutiny? It can't be the King of Qi, the King of Qi is not so confused that he is going to kill himself, as soon as he sues, there is a chance that he will be framed by his political enemies, and finally move a stone to hit his own feet, and he will definitely die. It can't be the Shandong people, in order to retaliate against the Guanlong people, the Shandong people want to mutiny, the chaos in Middle Earth, and the Guanlong people cannibalism, so the Shandong people will only add fuel to the fire, and will not go to the whistleblower, and what is the benefit of the whistleblower to the Shandong people? There is no benefit, on the contrary, it will definitely attract the crazy revenge of the Guanlong people, and it is too cost-effective to provoke a commotion if you don't eat mutton. Speculate like this, the most likely person to betray Yang Xuangan is the Guanlong people, the Xijing nobles who broke down in negotiations with Yang Xuangan. Xijing also has no choice, since he can't cooperate with Yang Xuangan, he can only sue, otherwise he is an accomplice and gives Yang Xuangan a funeral in vain, so the local aristocratic group in Guanlong can only betray Yang Xuangan in order to protect itself.

Li Fengyun predicted this, at that time Li Min still didn't believe it, thinking that Yang Xuangan and his allies would definitely win Xijing's cooperation, but now it seems that this is his wishful thinking, since Yang Xuangan is self-reliant, how can he make concessions to Xijing in terms of core interests? Yang Xuangan is unwilling to make concessions, so the two sides don't say that they will negotiate for another two months, even if they negotiate for another two years, there will be no results.

Li Min began to believe Li Fengyun's prediction of this mutiny, so he resolutely made a choice and positioned himself as Li Fengyun's secret envoy to negotiate with Yang Xuangan on behalf of Li Fengyun.

"Li Fengyun pretended to be Han Xiangguo for three purposes, one is that he hid the main force of the alliance participating in the mutiny under the banner of Han Xiangguo, which has the effect of unexpectedly attacking the enemy, and the other is to leave a way for himself to retreat, once the mutiny fails, he can escape from his shell; Second, he lured Han Xiangguo into Yuzhou, helped Han Xiangguo plunder in the Yingru area, and used the looting proceeds to expand his strength, and quickly attacked the periphery of Gyeonggi, and the troops approached Yique Road, threatening the eastern capital, and raising troops in Liyang with the Duke of Ming; Third, if Han Xiangguo enters Yuzhou to plunder, he will not compete with the alliance for the benefits of the Tongji Canal, and the situation in the Tongji Canal will not continue to deteriorate, which will help the alliance to maintain the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal while plundering the Tongji Canal. ”

Hu Shitan asked without thinking, "According to what you said, Li Fengyun did not intend to coerce Ming Gong?" Now that he is burning, killing, and plundering in Yuzhou, this is not coercion? ”

Li Min frowned, and asked quietly, "If Li Fengyun's prediction is accurate, the mutiny is exposed, and the Ming Duke is forced to raise troops in early June, then there is only one month left before the mutiny period at most. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Although this will cause the anger of the Ying Ru people, it will make the Ying Ru people misunderstand the Ming Gong, and it will affect their support for the Ming Gong, but the strength determines a qiē, and when the Ming Gong captures the Eastern Capital, forms a confrontation with the Holy Lord, and already has the hope of victory, will they give up their future interests because of temporary losses?"

"What if Li Fengyun's prediction is wrong?" Hu Shitan questioned.

"Li Fengyun will keep his promise and attack the outskirts of Gyeonggi in a month, attack the Yique Road, threaten the eastern capital, and cooperate with the Ming Duke to raise troops in Liyang." Li Min said indifferently, "Regardless of whether the Ming Duke attacks the Eastern Capital or not, Li Fengyun's move can effectively contain the Eastern Capital Garrison, there is no doubt about it." ”

"Yes, this is indeed beneficial to Liyang's troops." Hu Shitan said, "But what Li Fengyun is doing at the moment is not under our control, how can you make us believe in his promise?" If he loses control in Yuzhou, kills people on a killing spree, and commits heinous crimes, it will inevitably affect us, and more importantly, with such a thief, what can we do to win the trust of the world? ”

Li Min knew very well that the Liyang side was not only unwilling to give Li Fengyun part of the decision-making power to mutiny, but also unwilling to give Li Fengyun the command of the Yuzhou battlefield, they only needed Li Fengyun to be a "chess piece" that obeyed orders.

Li Min had no choice but to make the final concession in accordance with Li Fengyun's instructions, "Li Fengyun said that since he fought in Yuzhou under the banner of Han Xiangguo, it is reasonable to respect Han Xiangguo as the supreme commander and accept Han Xiangguo's command." ”

Master Hu was worried about comprehending, but he was not satisfied, "We don't need a puppet. ”

Li Min no longer gave in, "You still have Pushan Gong, whether it is now or in the future, Li Fengyun and Han Xiangguo must respect Pushan Gong's decision." ”

Hu Shitan turned his eyes to look at Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan slightly bowed and agreed.
