Chapter 595: Flying Fox
Li Sixing and Li Mengwei's faces were ugly, but they were powerless to control the development of the situation, so they could only be bystanders and let it go.
The Li clan sect master obviously overestimated his influence and underestimated Li Fengyun's control over the alliance, but when Li Fengyun persuaded the heroes and decided to enter Yanbei to gain a foothold in development, Li Sixing and Li Mengwei were helpless, even if they had the heart to stand up and make different voices on behalf of the Li clan of Zhao County, they could not change the established facts, and they were just humiliated.
After all, Li Mengwei is young and impulsive, considering that the smuggling profits of him and a group of friends in Yanbei will definitely be severely damaged because of Li Fengyun's decision-making, and the Li clan of Zhaojun will also become the target of the major forces in the entire north because of the alliance into Yanbei, Li Mengwei can't hold back and intends to speak out.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Sixing's eyes were quick, and he slapped his arm hard to stop his impulse. Li Meng looked suspicious. Li Sixing leaned into his ear and whispered, "The twelve ladies of the Cui family are in Handan, and they must have had contact with Bai Fa and explored Bai Fa's foothold, and Bai Fa will lobby in every way in order to win the support of the Cui family, so ......"
Li Meng tasted the heart. Li Fengyun insisted on entering Yanbei, which shows that he is not only determined to tear his face with the Li family of Zhaojun, but also determined to cut off the room for maneuver with the Boling Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Zhongshan Liu family and other northern wealthy families, but is Li Fengyun so stupid? It is rumored that the reason for the cooperation between King Qi, the Cui family and Bai Fa is due to the mediation of the twelve ladies of the Cui family, and it can be inferred that at this moment, no matter how unruly Li Fengyun is, he will not turn against the twelve ladies of the Cui family, so Li Fengyun's strategy of entering Yanbei must have been tacitly approved by the twelve ladies of the Cui family. In other words, the Cui family may have other ideas and plans in this matter, Li Sixing and Li Mengwei don't need to be smart, make trouble, and ask for trouble, as long as they wait and see what happens, and report truthfully, even if there is anything tricky, it is also a headache for the old sect master.
However, in the eyes of the alliance's heroes, the "unusual" silence of the brothers Li Sixing and Li Mengwei represented the support of the Li family of Zhaojun to Li Fengyun. Since the Li clan of Zhaojun no longer insists on "going west to Taiyuan", and all connivs and acquiesces in Li Fengyun's entry into Yanbei, then there is more content that can be interpreted from it, and perhaps the Li clan of Zhaojun has the heart to control Yanbei, and then grab the largest share from the profits of Yan's smuggling.
The alliance has finally reached an agreement with the joint "efforts" of all parties.
Li Fengyun "struck the iron with heat", did not give the heroes time to "breathe" at all, nor did he give Li Sixing and Li Mengwei brothers time to report to the sect, and immediately began to deploy north.
Xu 13 took two guards and hung a huge map that had been prepared long ago in the house. The contents of this map were very clear in the candlelight, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't wait to gather around it, and couldn't help but discuss it enthusiastically while taking a closer look.
The most conspicuous thing on the map is a black circle, which is obviously the foothold of the alliance after entering Yanbei. This black circle is located at the northwest foot of Taihang Mountain, the east foot of Heng Mountain and the southern line of Sangganshui, and is at the intersection of Yanmen, Shanggu and Zhuo County.
Li Fengyun stood in front of the map and began to explain in detail.
"This is our foothold in Yanbei, with a radius of more than 200 miles." Li Fengyun pointed to the black circle on the map and said, "There are three cities in this area, and the west is Lingqiu City, which is located at the eastern foot of Hengshan in Yanmen County; To the east is Flying Fox City, located at the northern foot of Taihang in Shanggu County; To the north is Ulseong, located on the border between Yanmen County and Zhuo County, where Heng Mountain and Sangganshui meet. ”
"Why did you choose this place as our foothold in Yanbei? First of all, the terrain is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and easy to survive. ”
Li Fengyun pointed to Lingqiu City on the map, "This is an important pass of Lingqiu Dao. Lingqiu Road starts from Daibei Yunnei, goes to Yanmen, crosses Taihang Changshan Pass through Lingqiu, and goes south to Zhongshan, Hebei, which is today's Xianyu City, the capital of Boling County. As long as we hold Lingqiu City, we can block the attack from the direction of Yanmen; As long as you control Changshan Pass, you can block the attack from the direction of Hebei. On the contrary, if we go out of Lingqiu, we can attack Yanmen, go up to the north, and go down to Taiyuan; If we go out of Changshan Pass and go down the river, we will be able to attack Hebei. ”
Li Fengyun pointed to Flying Fox City on the map again.
"More than 100 miles to the west of Flying Fox City is Lingqiu, and more than 100 miles to the east is Puyin, one of the eight Taihang mountains. More than 100 miles to the southeast is Yicheng, the capital of Shanggu County, and 500 miles to the northeast is Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, so as long as we hold the Flying Fox City and control the Puyin, we can block the attacks from the two directions of Hebei and Youzhou. On the contrary, if we get out of Puyin, we can fight Hebei and Youzhou. ”
"But the most important value of Flying Fox City is not its terrain advantage, but the Flying Fox Basin. Flying Fox City is located between the mountains, it is the birthplace of the Juma River, Laishui and Yishui, as well as a basin with a radius of 100 miles, and having a water source and basin means farming, which means food, although the food production is definitely limited, but at least it can feed us, which gives the alliance hope to survive. ”
Li Fengyun pointed to Ulcheng on the map again.
"We are surrounded by mountains, and the exit to the west is Lingqiu, and the exit to the south and east is the Flying Fox, so where is the exit to the north? It's in the city of Yu. ”
"How do we get to Ulseong?"
"Lingqiu and Flying Fox are located at the intersection of Heng Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and Ulcheng is located at the intersection of Heng Mountain and Sangganshui, these three cities just form an arrow shape in the geographical location, Ulcheng is the arrow, and if you want to reach this 'arrow' from Lingqiu or Flying Fox, there is only one way, that is, Flying Fox. The Flying Fox is more than 100 miles long, very dangerous, starting from the Flying Fox City, all the way over the mountains and mountains to reach the Ulcheng with difficulty. ”
"Ulcheng is located on the shore of the Qiyi River. Qiyi water originates from Heng Mountain, directly reaches Sangganshui, and is an important tributary of Sangganshui. As long as we follow this river to reach Sangganshui, and then more than 100 miles to the east is Huairong, the first important town in Yanbei, and we will enter the hinterland of Yanbei; More than 200 miles to the north is Macheng, an important pass of the Yanbei Great Wall, and more than 100 miles to the north is the important town of Huaihuang outside the Saiwai; And more than 300 miles to the northwest is the important pass of the Great Wall of Daibei Gaoliu, from Gaoliu to the west across the Qingpi Road, is the first important town in Daibei Yunnei. ”
"In addition, Ulcheng is still the foundation of our survival, and the river valley plains on both sides of the Qiyi River are the most fertile land in Yanbei, and the cultivated grains are not only delicious, but also have high yields. We have the Qiyi River Valley Plain and the Flying Fox Basin, which can not only house a large number of civilians who went north with the army to cultivate the wasteland, but also achieve self-sufficiency in food, and then ensure that the alliance can survive even in the most difficult circumstances. ”
"The soldiers are fast." Li Fengyun raised his voice and said loudly, "Our whereabouts have been exposed, and they will soon spread all over the north, so we must cross Taihang as quickly as possible, take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, capture Lingqiu, capture Flying Fox, capture Ulcheng with lightning speed, and seize a foothold before the government and the border army can react." ”
Li Fengyun looked at everyone and said calmly, "I know that you have all kinds of questions, and you can explain them one by one, but time is limited, we must formulate a specific attack strategy in the shortest possible time, and we must set off after dark tomorrow, so please be concise and short, and don't make useless arguments." ”
Han Shige was a little impatient, and was the first to ask, "Does the chief manager really know about this?" Are you sure this is a place for the Alliance? ”
Li Fengyun did not hesitate, raised his hand and pointed to Li Mengwei, who was standing on the side, "This question is answered by him, and his answer should be more convincing than so-and-so." ”
Li Mengwei is nominally a sword warrior, but in fact he wears the "hat" of a wealthy and down-and-out son, and "begs for a living" in black and white, and the benefits of smuggling between the north and the south are too great, Li Mengwei must be involved in it, since he is involved in it, of course, he has close contacts with Yanbei's black and white, and of course he has a considerable understanding of Yanbei.
Li Mengwei was in a panic. The last thing he wanted to see happened anyway, once the alliance captured Lingqiu, Flying Fox and Ulcheng, it just hit the "key point" of smuggling between the north and the south, and dealt a heavy blow to the smuggling between the north and the south.
There are three routes to the Yanbei Great Wall. One starts from Yunnei in Daibei, enters Yanbei through Qingpi Road and Gaoliu, and this road is a border pass, and it is difficult to smuggle; There is also a starting from Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, passing through Taihang through Juyong Pass, and entering Yanbei, which is the official channel connecting Youyan, the inventory is very strict, and the difficulty of smuggling is greater; The third road is the Flying Fox, the direction of Daibei and Taiyuan can pass through the Guò Lingqiu Road to cross the Heng Mountain into the Flying Fox, the Hebei direction can be from Changshan Pass and Puyin to cross the Taihang Mountain into the Flying Fox, and the direction of Youzhou can also enter the Flying Fox with the help of Puyin. That is to say, because the Flying Fox is hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests, the terrain is very dangerous, and it has become an important channel for smuggling between the north and the south, and a golden channel for the major forces in the Dai, Jin, Hebei, and Youyou to seek the benefits of smuggling between the north and the south.
From this, it is not difficult to imagine what the situation of this seemingly barren and desolate mountainous area, with the Flying Fox as the center, the three cities of Lingqiu, Flying Fox and Ulcheng as the backing, and the Taihang, Hengshan and Sangganshui as the natural barriers, must be the emperor far away, the discipline is lax, lawless, the officials and businessmen collude, and the soldiers and bandits are doing whatever they want. But this qiē has been deliberately covered up by the "hands of power" at the top, except for "insiders", for most people, not to mention that the smuggling channel of the Flying Fox is a secret, even the smuggling between the north and the south is unheard of.
Therefore, Li Mengwei deduced from this that Li Fengyun must be an "insider", not only did he know everything about the smuggling between the north and the south, but also knew that the flying fox was the "key point" of the smuggling between the north and the south, and as long as he controlled the flying fox, it would be equivalent to controlling the benefits of the smuggling between the north and the south, and then he would be able to jam Yanbei's "neck" and affect or even control the development of the situation in Yanbei.
Li Mengwei felt that Li Fengyun was too terrifying, but what especially frightened him was the huge force behind Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun alone certainly does not have the strength and courage to be the enemy of the entire northern Xinjiang, so Li Fengyun must still have strong supporters behind him, and their real goal must be to eradicate all the traitors in northern Xinjiang who secretly communicate with the northern captives by destroying the smuggling between the north and the south, and then achieve the goal of containing and weakening the northern captives.
The bloody wind was blowing in his face, and Li Mengwei was of course afraid, but at this time Li Fengyun "invited" him to reveal the secret that only the "insiders" knew, and he became more and more afraid, because it meant that he had embarked on the road of betrayal, not only betraying the smuggling of the north and the south, but also betraying many brothers and friends on the smuggling road.
