When Wang Ruxin, the messenger of Wagang, informed Li Fengyun of Zhai Rang's decision, Li Fengyun was very happy. As he expected, the Zheng clan in Xingyang was about to fight back, but what he didn't expect was that it was Zhai Rang who charged for the Zheng clan, and Zhai Rang also changed his previous indecisiveness, and killed Guan Long people without hesitation with a big knife.

The Wagang people openly raised the flag to rebel, which changed the situation in Henan again, and this change was not only conducive to the fight of the Righteous Alliance on the battlefield of Tongji Canal, but also had a heavy impact on the future development of the situation in the Central Plains.

Li Fengyun immediately decided to attack Wei Yunqi with the Wagang people, and the battlefield was chosen on the north bank of Jishui.

Li Mi participated in this decision, and he strongly advised Li Fengyun to take advantage of Wei Yunqi's unstable foothold to decisively attack. If Wei Yunqi is given enough time to build a complete army, the difficulty of the attack will definitely increase greatly, and the losses paid by the righteous army will be even greater, not only will they not be able to defeat the opponent, they will not be able to capture a large number of weapons as they wish, and they may also capsize in the gutter and be defeated by the opponent.

Li Mi obviously had no confidence in the strength of the rebel army, although Li Fengyun had killed Fei Huai, the general of Yongcheng Yingyanglang, and four regiments of Yingyangwei under the most difficult conditions, but those victories could not be replicated, and there were too many chances and luck. On the battlefield of Tongjiqu today, with Wei Yunqi's strategy and the strength of the official army, if the two sides face each other, the righteous army has no chance of winning, so Li Mi insisted on acting treacherous and unprepared to attack the enemy.

Wang Ruxin saw that Li Mi insisted on using a sneak attack strategy, so he had to kindly remind, "The place where Wei Yunqi camped is less than a hundred miles away from Junyi City, only a few dozen miles away from Fengqiu City, and only a few dozen miles away from the Tianqian Pass. If it attacks, it is equivalent to attacking the Guanfang, and the Guanfang garrison will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack. On the contrary, if you don't attack and confront it, it is equivalent to being dragged by Wei Yunqi under the defense, very passive, and it is very likely to be attacked by the official troops of Fengqiu and Junyi, so that you will be surrounded by the official army. ”

Li Mi glanced at him disdainfully, with a smile on his face, but his tone was quite unkind, "In this way, if my two armies attack north and south and put on a siege posture, Wei Yunqi will fight us head-on?" ”

Wang Ruxin glanced at him and did not speak.

When Wang Ruxin first arrived at the alliance headquarters, except for Li Fengyun and Xu Shisan, he didn't know anyone else, but from the introductions of Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyan, he knew more or less about the senior officials in the core of the alliance's power, but he had never heard of Liu Zhiyuan, who participated in the military, and judging from today's military discussion, this dark-skinned and bright-eyed Liu Zhiyuan had even more power to speak in the alliance's decision-making than Sima Yuan An of the alliance, and his influence on the alliance commander Li Fengyun was immeasurable. Wang Ru was convinced, and intended to inquire about the origin of this person after the meeting.

In fact, not only Wang Ruxin was suspicious of Liu Zhiyuan, but many senior officials of the alliance were very curious about Liu Zhiyuan, who suddenly appeared next to Li Fengyun. Now is a special period, the alliance needs talents, and the talents also have the intention to use the rebels in a big thing, but the prospects are very bleak, and it is natural for the talents to hide their names and seek a way out, so for the alliance officials, no matter whether they are puzzled or curious, no one will be stupid enough to explore the truth.

"Since you have decided to raise the flag publicly, you should know the consequences of raising the flag publicly." Li Mi's eyes were sharp and aggressive, "If you want to survive, you can only fight to the death, there is no second way to survive."

Wang Ruxin's expression was solemn, he still closed his mouth and did not speak, and his eyes slowly turned to Li Fengyun who was standing in front of the map.

Li Fengyun had already heard what Wang Ruxin meant. The strength of the Wagang people is too weak, and the Wagang is too close to the white horse, if the flag is raised publicly, it will be attacked by the official army of Dongjun, but at this moment Wei Yunqi crossed the north and entered the territory of Dongjun, if the two official armies attacked Wagang in the north and south, the Wagang people will be defeated, so Zhai Rang asked Li Fengyun for help, hoping that Li Fengyun could drag Wei Yunqi on the front line of Jishui, and give the Wagang people enough time to "gain a foothold".

However, Li Fengyun and Li Mi mistakenly understood Zhai Rang's move to send messengers as an alliance and cooperation, and as a result, both of them made the decision to attack Wei Yunqi with the Wagang people at the first time.

Wang Ruxin secretly complained bitterly. The Wagang people made a wrong judgment on the Righteous Alliance, they thought that the purpose of the Righteous Alliance to kill Tongji Canal was to burn, kill and plunder, and Li Fengyun would never be able to fight head-on with the official army, considering that the Righteous Alliance was now attracting all the attention of the official army, so the Wagang people resolutely decided to immediately raise the banner and rebel openly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, from the Eastern Capital and the Gyeonggi Garrison, down to the local governments and local forces in Henan, the first target is the white thief, all of whom are to defeat the rebel alliance and expel them from the line of Tongji Canal, so at this moment the Wagang people raised the flag to rebel, and the official could not spare his hands to encircle and suppress Wagang in a hurry, which gave the Wagang people time to quickly gain a foothold and grow stronger.

It is very normal for Wagang people to have such thoughts, they must first take care of their own interests, and then they will consider taking into account the interests of others. In the eyes of the Wagang people, the Rebel Alliance does not have the strength to fight head-on with the official army at all, as long as the Gyeonggi garrison is out of the customs, the Rebel Alliance will inevitably escape, in this case, the two sides can certainly cooperate. The vigorous development of the Wagang people will inevitably contain some of the official and military forces, which is obviously conducive to the Rebel Alliance to plunder the Tongji Canal. If you help me contain the officers and troops now and let me develop quickly, it is actually equivalent to helping you to plunder the Tongji Canal better and safer.

This is indeed the case, but the two sides stand at different heights, and their understanding and interpretation of the situation in China and Turkey are also different. The Wagang people looked at the current situation from the perspective of Henan's local interests, while the Rebel Alliance planned a strategy that met their own interests from the perspective of the overall interests of Middle-earth, so Zhai Rang only hoped that Li Fengyun would help him contain Wei Yunqi, and Li Fengyun made the decision to fight Wei Yunqi with Zhai Rang, and both sides sought cooperation, but the basis of cooperation was completely different.

Wang Ruxin was remorseful, he knew that this was the case, and when he and Li Fengyun met alone, he should have made his words clear. But can this be said clearly? To make it clear, it is purely to use Li Fengyun, with Li Fengyun's current strength, how can he let the Wagang people use it? Considering that Li Fengyun will not take the initiative to fight against the official army, but will only confront the official army from afar, and the Wagang people only need Li Fengyun to maintain this situation, there is no need to make it clear at all. Unexpectedly, things went against people's wishes, and the development of things was different from what the Wagang people expected, and Li Fengyun actually took the initiative to attack the official army, which was too unbelievable

Wang Ruxin had no choice but to euphemistically express the true thoughts of the Wagang people. Li Mi was furious and scolded angrily. Li Fengyun was very calm, he had long been disappointed in the Wagang people, but he did not resent the Wagang people, on the contrary, he could understand the difficult situation of the Wagang people.

Wagang people have their own interests, Zhai Rang is a noble bureaucrat, Shan Xiongxin is a local prestige, Xu Shiyan is a wealthy businessman, what they do is not only related to their personal interests, but also related to the life and death of their relatives and families, and now although the situation in Middle-earth is gradually chaotic, but in the eyes of Middle-earth people, there is no danger of collapse, and it is even more distant from division and war, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande and other heroes are like the same as the cauldron and the boat to fight against the water, which is already commendable.

"Just because you and I are fighting from the north and south doesn't mean you have to go to war." Li Fengyun smiled at Wang Ruxin and said, "A certain promise to you that no matter whether you are willing to fight Wei Yunqi with a certain north and south, a certain will lead the army to advance to Jishui and firmly contain Wei Yunqi." ”

Wang Ruxin's hanging heart suddenly let go, his nervous expression immediately relaxed, and then respectfully bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Li Fengyun. The purpose of his trip was to get Li Fengyun's help, as long as Li Fengyun contained Wei Yunqi, the Wagang people would avoid being caught in the middle of the official army after raising the flag publicly.

Li Fengyun's purpose is the same, he only asks the Wagang people to raise the flag, as long as the Wagang people raise the flag, the situation in Henan will change rapidly, and the situation in Henan after the change will quickly change the situation of the Wagang people, the survival of the Wagang people will become more and more difficult, and finally the desperate Wagang people can only join the Righteous Alliance, so that Li Fengyun has also realized his dream of fighting side by side with the Wagang brothers and galloping on the battlefield.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mi guessed Li Fengyun's thoughts, and his frowning brows were immediately relieved. The key to whether the alliance can defeat Wei Yunqi smoothly lies in whether the Wagang people can raise the flag and rebel as scheduled, as long as the two sides cooperate consistently, they can also achieve the goal of a north-south attack.

"What do you think, sir?" Li Fengyun took the initiative to consult Li Mi's opinion.

Li Mi nodded repeatedly, "In three days, our army will be able to advance to the Jishui line and make a cross-river attack." Li Mi looked at Wang Ruxin and asked in a stern tone, "If you raise the flag, you will quickly raise the flag, and after our army advances to the south bank of Jishui, you will launch an attack on Weicheng to attract the white horse eagle and plan our army to cross the river to the north." ”

Wang Ruxin hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "Does the general really want to fight with Wei Yunqi in Jishui?" ”

Li Fengyun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "If you don't attack Weicheng, how can you tell the government that you have raised the flag and rebelled?" ”

Wang Ruxin also asked rhetorically without hesitation, "If the general's attack is blocked, or...... Once Wei Yunqi frees up his hands, our Wagang army will be surrounded by the official army. "The implication is that if you are defeated and retreat, won't the Wagang army be wiped out? So obviously, you can't fight this battle, as long as you confront Wei Yunqi across the river.

Li Fengyun asked again, "Are you absolutely sure that you will take Weicheng?" ”

Wang Ruxin shook his head, smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to hide anything anymore, "When the decision was made, Xu Dalang was far away from the fox. ”

Li Fengyun's expression was slightly sluggish. Wagang raises the flag, Xu Shiyan does not participate? Of course Xu Shiyan will not participate, if he rebels, there will be a catastrophe from the fox Xu family, and more people will be affected because of this. As far as the current situation in Middle-earth is concerned, Xu Shiyun will not rebel under any circumstances, unless he waits until the shape of Middle-earth is clear, and it is impossible to rebel, he will not raise the flag publicly.

"Is Fa Si Zhai invited?" Li Fengyun asked.

"Xu Dalang has already expressed his attitude before." Wang Ruxin sighed, "According to an estimate, Xu Dalang will give the most support in terms of money and food. Among the Wagang brothers, Xu Dalang is the strongest, Xu Dalang does not participate, and with the existing strength of Wagang, he can't win Weicheng at all. ”

Li Mi's eyes showed a look of doubt, and he didn't know who Xu Dalang was.

Li Fengyun pondered and was silent for a long time.
