October 13, Anzhou, Maogou River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the early morning, the sky is dark, the first light rain after the winter falls quietly, the raindrops are sprinkled all over the mountains, the fog is swirling, the mountains and rivers are hazy, like a fairyland, but the faint blood brought by the whistling cold wind spreads the killing atmosphere on the battlefield of Maogou River, which makes people cold to the bone, and the chill is doubled.
In the morning, Li Yi went to the alliance camp to negotiate again, Kong Yingda had no intention of perfunctory, and bluntly said, "Yesterday, more than 7,000 soldiers of our alliance, under the command of the governor Han Shige, launched an attack on Jinkou on the west bank of Wulieshui, and captured Jinkou before dusk, killing more than 1,000 ranks, and capturing A Changsheng, Feng Hong and more than 1,500 remnants. ”
Li Yi was extremely shocked, and changed color in shock, and the only glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
Kong Yingda was still unfinished, and her words were not shocking, "The elite division of our alliance, Hu Ben and Hussar, had secretly lurked in Parrot River a few days ago, and crossed the mountains and entered the east bank of Wulie Water the day before yesterday, outflanking your back. If nothing else, they captured Jinkou on the east bank of the Wulie River last night, completing the third encirclement of you. At this point, it is difficult for you to fly, there is no possibility of breaking through, and there is no chance of survival except for unconditional surrender. ”
Li Yi was dumbfounded, depressed and desperate, all the words he had prepared before had become a joke of self-deception, and even he came this morning to bring humiliation on himself. Li Yi was speechless, so he could only get up and say goodbye, and tell Ah Huizheng and the chiefs of the tribes the shocking news that Kong Yingda said.
Kong Yingda didn't stand up, and waved his hand twice to show his send-off, "Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong are on their way to escort Maogou Chuan, and they will arrive in the afternoon, so they will send them over when they arrive, and they will tell Ah Huizheng in person, and then ......" Kong Yingda's face gradually turned cold, and his tone was quite unkind, "Tomorrow morning, either you surrender, or we attack." Whether to live or die, one night is enough for you to choose. ”
Li Yi's face turned pale and bowed to retreat.
In the afternoon, Meng Ba and Wo Ye took the humiliation of the royal department to control the strings, escorted A Changsheng and Feng Hong, and rushed to Maogou River at a gallop.
The chief manager Yue Gao "took over" A Changsheng and Feng Hong, and without saying a word, he directly sent someone to Xi Jun on the other side, and at the same time told Meng Ba and Wo Ye that Li Fengyun had an order, asking them to rush to the Shuai camp immediately. Ministry of consultation.
Meng Ba and Wo Ambition comprehended and were uneasy. Obviously, this battle is basically over, even if Li Fengyun still wants to fight, Ah Huizheng is not willing to lose, but the chiefs of the tribes will not fight, and if they continue to fight, they will be wiped out, so the next thing is to share the results. The battle was brilliant, Ah Hui Zheng and the four Xi tribes surrendered on their knees, and Anzhou changed hands, which can be imagined as a great benefit, but the main interests are all from the Middle Earth, and the income from the humiliation of the royal department is limited.
When the ghost party formed an alliance, Li Fengyun was very generous, and made a series of promises to the humiliating royal department, and conceded huge benefits, and the scale of the concession was so large that even the humiliated royal ministry himself did not believe it, but fortunately, this is only a promise, and it has not yet become a fact, Li Fengyun may not have the ability to fulfill the promise, let me believe it, and ask for cooperation first. However, it turns out that Li Fengyun not only successfully defeated the Xi Alliance and won Anzhou, but also won all the interests attached to Anzhou, and then it will be Li Fengyun's turn to fulfill his promise, but the interests are current, who can do it? Meng Ba and Wo Ye do not expect Li Fengyun to fulfill all his promises, as long as they fulfill part of their promises, as long as they can let the Humiliation King Department develop and grow, there is no need to covet too much, in the face of the behemoth of Middle Earth and Li Fengyun, a powerful beast, the Humiliation King must maintain a low profile, restraint and humility, and do not get carried away and bring disaster upon themselves.
Meng Ba and Wo Ye rushed to the Shuai camp, met with Li Fengyun, and saw that Meng'an of the garrison Fangcheng was also in the tent, and confirmed their previous speculation. Li Fengyun's so-called discussion of major matters is actually to divide the spoils with the humiliating king's department, but it is so solemn, there must have been a change, Li Fengyun's previous promise may not be able to be fully fulfilled, but the strong are respected, and the humiliating king's ministry does not have the strength to compete with the alliance, so as long as it does not touch the bottom line of the humiliating king's department, it is acceptable to have fewer interests.
Alliance Sima Yuan An and Keqing Kong Yingda are also in the account, which shows that the specifications of the negotiations between the two sides are high. Li Fengyun did not deliberately ignore the right of allies to speak in the distribution of interests because the actual rulers such as Yun and Lei of the Humiliated King were far away from the ghost side, but took expedient measures and temporarily granted this right of discourse to the representatives of the Shaozhuang faction of the Humiliated King Ministry, Meng Ba, Woye and Meng'an, which shows Li Fengyun's respect for his allies and the special importance he attaches to the Humiliated King Ministry. This made Meng Ba and Woye, who came in a hurry, and Meng An, who had just been invited by Li Fengyun from Fangcheng, feel honored and relieved, knowing that even if Li Fengyun could not fulfill all his promises, he would not treat the humiliating royal department badly.
There was also a gentle young man in the tent, his legs and feet were injured and bandaged, and he looked a little embarrassed, but under Li Fengyun's grand introduction, Murong Zhili's status and weight in the minds of the three young generals of the Humiliation King Department rose sharply. However, Murong Zhili's personal "label" is secondary, whether he is from a wealthy family, a descendant of the Xianbei royal family, the identity and background of the official Middle Earth, or the power to supervise the army in the alliance, these are not important, the important thing is that Murong Zhili's appearance at this moment can make the humiliating royal department clearly see that there is a figure of the Eastern Capital behind the alliance, and every move of the alliance outside the fortress is controlled and commanded by the eastern capital, and the alliance is the big knife that the eastern capital slashes to the outside of the fortress.
This recognition is very important to strengthen the determination of the Humiliation Ministers to cooperate with the Alliance, and directly change the future decisions of the Humiliation Ministers. The previous cooperation between the two sides, the Ministry of Humiliation had doubts about Li Fengyun's identity and the future of the alliance, the cooperation was forced by the needs of the tribe to survive, and the Ministry of Humiliation had reservations, and now with the appearance of Murong Zhili, it was confirmed that the alliance has the direct support of the Middle-earth official behind it, and the future of the alliance is very optimistic, and the cooperation with the alliance is actually cooperation with the Middle-earth official, which is not a simple solution to survival for the Humiliation Wangbu, but a great opportunity for development and growth, For this reason, the Humiliation Royalty must unreservedly devote all its strength to cooperation, and this is an indispensable condition for the alliance to gain a foothold and grow rapidly outside the Cyprus.
At this moment, the mentality of Meng Ba, Wo Ye and Meng An changed dramatically, although there was no trace of this change, Yuan An and Kong Yingda clearly felt this change from the heartfelt awe of the three of them towards Murong Zhili. Suddenly, they suddenly had an epiphany that the reason why Li Fengyun valued and courteously treated Murong Zhili, the "prison army", was originally here, but the alliance had not seen this before.
Yuan An and Kong Yingda looked at each other, and they both saw the amazement in each other's eyes. Li Fengyun has been able to get to this point, luck is important, but ability is fundamental. Li Fengyun has a strategy and a vision, he has always been invincible, invincible, and has repeatedly created miracles, all because of his outstanding talent.
After sitting down, Li Fengyun got straight to the point, "You should know the purpose of inviting you to come, so I won't talk about it." I'm going to ask you now, is this battle still going to be fought? If you want to fight, I will fulfill your wishes, refuse to surrender, and annihilate the enemy with all my might. ”
"No more fighting." Meng Ba, Wo Ye and Meng An spoke in unison and had a resolute attitude.
Li Fengyun's words are definitely not a temptation, although he asked to escort Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong to Maogou River before, and made a gesture of persuasion to surrender, but whether it is Meng Ba, Woye, or ordinary Xi people, they do not believe that Li Fengyun will sincerely persuade them to surrender, let alone that Zhongtu will continue to tolerate the existence of a Xi tribe that can affect the safety of northern Xinjiang.
There is an old saying in Middle-earth, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", the attitude of Middle-earth towards foreign races, although it is mainly based on appeasement, but it is based on the fact that the alien race has a certain strength, if the strength of the alien race is weak, such as the Xi tribe at this moment, then Middle-earth will immediately show its hideous face, the weak eat the strong, bloody slaughter, and no mercy. Of course, with the strength of today's alliance, it will take a considerable price to annihilate the main army of Ah Huizheng and the Xi people, Li Fengyun may not be willing to fight a lose-lose battle, and this is the reason why Ah Huizheng and some of the Xi tribe chieftains have illusions, even if they surrender, they must surrender conditionally, to put it bluntly, they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, if you really want to force people too much, I will burn the jade, and I will pull you on your back when I die.
The people who insulted the royal department also thought so, Li Fengyun would not fight this battle again, the alliance was going to negotiate with the Xi people, the Xi people still had the strength and the bargaining capital, but with the appearance of Murong Zhili, the official of Middle-earth officially walked to the "front desk" and showed "fangs and sharp teeth", so whether this battle is fought or not is not decided by Li, but by the official of Middle-earth. If the officials of Middle-earth send a large number of troops out of the pass, to completely annihilate the Xi army, to completely eliminate the Xi people, and to recover Anzhou once and for all, then it does not matter if the losses are large, this price is a drop in the bucket for Middle-earth, and it is insignificant.
Fortunately, Li Fengyun fulfilled his promise and gave the Humiliated Wang Department a chance to protect the Xi people, but the situation has changed, and if the Humiliated Wang Department wants to protect the Xi people to the greatest extent under the current situation, the Xi tribes will inevitably have to pay a huge price, and after this price is paid, the Xi people have suffered heavy losses, and it is very difficult to become strong again, and there is no hope of a comeback in the short term.
"Good!" Li Fengyun waved his hand, "Then don't fight." If we do not fight, we must negotiate, and the negotiation principle of the alliance is that the Arab Association must surrender unconditionally. The principle of the alliance is the principle of humiliating the king, so I want to ask your opinion to see if the ministry agrees with this principle? ”
"Agreed!" Meng Ba, Wo Ye, and Meng An did not hesitate and replied in unison again.
"Good!" Li Dao, "In that case, I will ask you again, is this negotiation fully responsible for the alliance, or is the Ministry of Humiliation coming forward on behalf of the alliance?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan An, Kong Yingda, and Murong Zhili were taken aback, and they all looked at Li Fengyun, not knowing what their intentions were, while Meng Ba, Wo Ye, and Meng An were overjoyed, never expecting that Li Fengyun was generous to the extreme, fully fulfilled all his promises, and gave a great benefit to the Humiliation Wangbu.
The affairs of the Xi people are handled by the Ministry of Humiliation of the King of Humiliation, which means that the Xi people have no worries about survival, and a new alliance can be established between the tribes of the Xi Nationality, and even the Xi Wangfu can be rebuilt, so that the Humiliation of the King can strive for the maximum interests of the tribe and the Xi people, although after this battle, the decline of the Xi people has become a fait accompli, but then as long as the Xi people are loyal to Middle-earth, charge forward for Middle-earth, and win the trust and support of Middle-earth, the re-rise of the Xi people is only a matter of time.
Meng Ba, Wo Ye, and Meng An glanced at each other, and at the same time rolled over and fell to their knees, grateful.
After the excitement, the three of them quickly calmed down, there is only a gain if you pay, there is no reason for the humiliation of the royal department to obtain such a huge benefit, and there is no reason for the Xi clan to survive in a desperate situation, Li Fengyun is generous and generous, there must be a purpose, so, what is Li Fengyun's truth?
"Duke Ming, on behalf of the alliance, the Humiliation of the King of the Humiliation will recruit the Xi tribes, but there are specific conditions?" Meng Ba pondered and asked cautiously.
Li Fengyun shook his hand, "I don't care how to deal with the internal affairs of the Xi clan, I only need one result, that is, the close cooperation between the alliance and the humiliating royal department must be expanded to the close cooperation between the alliance and the Xi clan." ”
This is reasonable, not the answer that Meng Ba, Wo Ye, and Meng An need, nor what Yuan An, Kong Yingda, and Murong Zhili want to know.
After a pause, Li Fengyun continued, "In addition, I have one more request. ”
The atmosphere in the tent froze instantly, and everyone listened intently, with all kinds of speculations in their hearts.
"Within three days, I need 20,000 Xi people to control the strings, follow me north to the ghost side, and fight the Turks in the flat pine forest."
Li Fengyun's voice was not loud, but it was shocking and fell into everyone's ears, like a sudden hurricane, and its strong impact made people's hearts tremble and suffocate.
"Winter is coming, the rivers are frozen, and the war horses are walking on the ground, which is the best opportunity to go north to the Tuo Suchen River and sweep across the banks of the weak Luo River." Li Fengyun smiled slightly and made an attack gesture, "But before going north, we must defeat the Turks on the Lightning Plain, severely damage the southeast tooth banner of the moraine, and beat the Ashina of Jishe to the ground, otherwise we will fight on two fronts, and we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and the chance of victory is very small." ”
Everyone was silent, all thinking about Li Fengyun's strategy, and weighing the pros and cons of this strategy.
"The fall of Anzhou, the heavy blow of the Xi people, the crisis in the northeast, the situation of the confrontation between the north and the south has been seriously affected, the Turks will inevitably react violently, and the Shibi Khan and the tooth tent will inevitably come up with a counterattack strategy." Li Fengyun explained his attack strategy, "At the latest by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, the Turks will attack on a large scale, so we must develop and grow in the shortest possible time, and we must sweep across both sides of the weak Luoshui in the next two months, completely destroy the northeastern part of the Turks, and cut off one of their arms. ”
