Zhai Rang failed to stop the Qi people's westward advance, and the Qi people did not achieve their goal of joining forces with the Henan people to attack Gyeonggi, and both sides were in a bad mood, not only regret and disappointment, but also pessimistic predictions about the future situation.

Li Fengyun politely sent away the Wagang people with the heroes, he was very resolute, and never gave Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyun any chance to contact him privately, and although Zhai Rang and the others sensed Li Fengyun's indifference to them from this rustiness and estrangement, it was obvious that Li Fengyun had room and did not mean to be enemies with the Henan people. However, at present, the local forces in Henan represented by Zhai Rang do not have the conditions to decide their own fate, and their fate is in the hands of the Henan aristocratic group headed by the Zheng clan in Xingyang.

After sending Zhai Rang and the three of them away, the handsome men returned to the tent and were very dissatisfied with the naïve behavior of the Henan people who looked forward to the future, suffered from gains and losses, and even still had illusions about the eastern capital.

"Will the people of Henan be our enemies?" Yuan An worriedly raised a question that made everyone very uneasy. If the local forces in Henan cooperated with the government, cooperated with the Eastern Capital, and became enemies of the Righteous Alliance, it would inevitably cause heavy obstacles to the Alliance's westward expedition.

"Since Zhai Rang is here today and threatens us with the Xingyang Zheng clan, it can be seen that the situation is not optimistic for us." Meng Haigong frowned and sighed, "The situation in Henan has continued to be bad since the flood last year, and this year it has been hit by drought again, and the deterioration of the situation has suddenly accelerated, but for such a long time, the Zheng family in Xingyang has never taken any effective measures to alleviate and improve the crisis in Henan, why is this?" The situation in Henan has deteriorated, and the Zheng clan in Xingyang has taken the brunt, and the loss of their interests is incalculable, so it stands to reason that they should have turned the tide a long time ago. Meng Haigong shook his head, his eyes puzzled.

Everyone had solemn expressions, each with their own thoughts, and they were very jealous of the powerful Xingyang Zheng family. If the Western Expedition continues, it will inevitably enter Xingyang, and the Zheng family's main hall is in Xingyang, which is equivalent to killing at the door of one of the five wealthy families in Shandong, and it is impossible for the Zheng family in Xingyang not to react. The strength of the Zheng clan in Xingyang is unfathomable, and the Rebel Alliance, which is in the early stage of growth, is unable to compete with it.

"Ming Gong, I heard that last year's Baima prison robbery case was committed by you, Zhai Rang, and Shan Xiongxin, I don't know if it's true?" Xu Shiren looked up at Li Fengyun and asked with a smile.

Li Fengyun nodded.

"So, you should be friends of life and death?"

Li Fengyun smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

"Zhai Rang came today, he should have wanted to negotiate with you privately, but you didn't give him a chance." After Xu Shiren pondered for a while, he asked, "Why did Ming Gong deliberately alienate Zhai Rang?" Zhai Rang suddenly took out the Xingyang Zheng clan to threaten us, did he want to hint at you? ”

"For Zhai Rang, he is not only a stranger, but also a big disaster." Li Fengyun replied, "In the case of the White Horse robbery, it was Zhai Rang who robbed him, but it was just a coincidence, fortunately, he escaped after Zhai Rang, and then he went to Mangdang Mountain under the instruction of Zhai Rang. ”

Everyone in the tent listened quietly, and it was the first time they had heard Li Fengyun tell his personal story.

"A certain person persuaded Zhai Rang to raise the flag as early as Wating, but he resolutely refused." Li Fengyun shook his head lightly, his eyes showing disdain, "He doesn't want to rebel, and it's useless to force him." The Tao is not the same, and even if there is a love of life and death, it is inevitable that there will be estrangement and contradictions at this moment. A certain has always believed that the reason why Zhai Rang is reluctant to raise the flag and rebel openly has nothing to do with the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the real reason is that he does not have the courage to break the boat, and he has too many things to worry about. ”

Xu Shiren sighed secretly and felt empathy, why did he want to rebel? Isn't there too much to worry about?

"Why did the chief manager conclude that Zhai Rang's reluctance to raise the flag and cause trouble had nothing to do with the Zheng family in Xingyang?" Huo Xiaohan had an impatient temperament, and couldn't help but ask, "Zhai Rang came here today and threatened us with the Xingyang Zheng clan, and it was from the Xingyang Zheng clan that the chief manager thought?" ”

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "From the perspective of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, all contradictions and conflicts actually revolve around reform. Shandong people did not hesitate to sacrifice their own interests, resolutely supported reform, resolutely supported the reform decision of the emperor and the center, and tried to use the emperor and the central reform force to resist the attack of the Guanlong people while launching a counteroffensive against the Guanlong people. The Zheng family in Xingyang was one of the five wealthy families in Shandong and one of the important political forces that supported the emperor's deepening reform. From the standpoint of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, the top priority at present is to win the victory of the Eastern Crusade, not to fight against the Guanlong people in order to protect their own interests. As long as the Eastern Crusade is victorious, the emperor and the central government have established a world-class martial arts, and have absolute political and military superiority, then the reform will inevitably go deeper, and the reform forces in the court will also launch a fierce blow to the conservative forces. At that moment, the crisis in Henan will become the best excuse for the emperor to strike at his opponents, and all the blame for Henan will also be attributed to the conservative forces. ”

Li Fengyun looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Once the emperor and the reform forces completely control the government, then all those who support the reform will benefit from it, and the Xingyang Zheng family is one of the beneficiaries." Imagine what this loss is compared to the future earnings of the Xingyang Zheng family? The dead are all ordinary people, all grass mustard ants, and the aristocratic bureaucrats are still alive and well, and the huge root system of the Zheng family in Xingyang is still alive and powerful, and its losses are actually limited. Taking a step back, even if the loss was too great to be estimated, how could the emperor turn a blind eye considering the merits of the Zheng family in Xingyang? Once the emperor compensates him, how can the Zheng family in Xingyang suffer? ”

The crowd pondered. Li Fengyun stood from a height beyond the reach of ordinary people and overlooked the situation in the entire Henan and even the Central Plains, and his conclusions were surprising, but they were justified and well-founded, and it was difficult to find reasons to refute them.

"According to Ming Gong's inference, can we understand that before the Eastern Expedition is decided, the Xingyang Zheng clan will never come to save the Henan crisis?" Xu Shiren thought for a long time and asked cautiously.

"Absolutely." Li Fengyun said in a very affirmative tone, "The current political situation in the Eastern Capital is very complicated, among the remaining elites, there are staunch reformers, stubborn conservatives, and many neutrals, which leads to the fact that the Eastern Capital cannot make decisions on anything, and finally has to rely on the remote command of the emperor and the palace who are far away on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and this is exactly what the emperor needs in the political situation of the Eastern Capital." At this moment, if the Zheng clan of Xingyang was anxious to save Henan from the crisis, and tried every means to lobby all political forces in the Eastern Capital, seeking to form a decision in the Eastern Capital on the matter of disrupting Henan, then it would inevitably destroy the overall layout of the emperor and the center, and would inevitably endanger the safety of the Eastern Crusade. With the high wisdom of the Xingyang Zheng clan in politics, how could he make such a decision and end up in such a failure? ”

"According to the Governor, this time we attacked Gyeonggi, could it be that we were invincible and overwhelming?" Zhen Baoche couldn't help but sneer.

Zhen Baoche admits that Li Fengyun's inference is quite convincing, but no one knows what the truth of the high-level political zhì is. Li Fengyun is also talking on paper, deducing it out of thin air, it is okay to believe it, it is okay not to believe it, it is just ambiguous, so this statement cannot be too full, but Li Fengyun swears and says it as if it is true, which is inevitably unacceptable.

Li Fengyun was unimpressed by Zhen Baoche's ridicule, and shook his head solemnly, "If we move forward, every step will be difficult. The fact that the Zheng clan in Xingyang ignored the crisis in Henan did not mean that the political forces in the eastern capital also turned a blind eye to the situation in Henan. The situation in Henan is so bad that the Zheng family in Xingyang, as a big family in the local area, is also one of the victims, and does not need to take responsibility for this, but the east must be held responsible, especially the security of Gyeonggi is threatened, and the interruption of the river and the Tongji Canal is a great responsibility, so the bureaucrats left behind in the eastern capital must take action, and the Gyeonggi garrison must be dispatched, and the Zheng family of Xingyang, as the leader of the Henan aristocratic group, is in a deep crisis and it is difficult to be alone. In this way, Xingyang Zheng's attitude is very crucial, is it positive or negative? If we actively help the Eastern Capital to fight the rebellion, it will be detrimental to us, otherwise, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. So, how can you determine whether Zheng's attitude is positive or negative? Very simply, as long as we find out who will bear the greatest responsibility for the crisis in Henan among the remaining magnates in the Eastern Capital, and what kind of relationship this person has with the Zheng family in Xingyang, it will be clear at a glance. ”

"Could it be that Duke Ming already knows about the political situation in the Eastern Capital?" Xu Shiren asked eagerly.

Xu Shiren keenly revealed some things from Li Fengyun's words, and these things must be inextricably linked with the secrets behind Li Fengyun's sudden rise. Li Fengyun's identity is too mysterious, and his rapid rise is even more legendary. There is no shortage of amazing talents in this world, but Yan Zòng lacks the talents who create miracles, and a series of incredible miracles like Li Fengyun's creation of Zào cannot be explained by wisdom and luck, and there must be secrets behind them.

Xu Shiren's words reminded everyone that it was obvious that Li Fengyun knew about the political situation in the Eastern Capital, that is, there were people who were familiar with the political situation in the Eastern Capital to provide Li Fengyun with a steady stream of confidential information. Who knows the political situation in the Eastern Capital? This answer is self-explanatory, everyone knows it, and then thinking of Li Fengyun's mysterious origin, it is not difficult to guess that Li Fengyun is very likely to be the "chess piece" of a certain political group in the Eastern Capital.

Li Fengyun smiled but did not speak.

"May I ask the chief manager, who will bear the greatest responsibility for the crisis in Henan among the elites left behind in the eastern capital?"

"Henan Internal History, King Yang of Qi." Li Fengyun said quietly.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn. Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is the second son of the current emperor and the core figure of the imperial dispute. Sure enough, under Gyeonggi, it was a big trap, and Li Fengyun hurriedly ran to dig the trap, or gave up his life to jump the trap?
