"Judging from the known information, Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei, Chen Ling, the deputy Wu Benlang general of Zhuo County, Donglai Water Division, the army of King Qi, and the army of Hanoi County will all attack Liyang, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 elite Weifu troops." Li Anqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Li Zixiong is alone, and he can only rely on you to hold Liyang, and you only have eight armies from the two roads to Liyang in the north, and they are all Hebei Righteous Army, all of which are defeated by the remnants of the army that have suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Qi County, so even if your strength on the battlefield of Liyang is comparable to that of the Weifu army, even if you have the advantage of holding the city, you are still vulnerable." I can tell you with certainty that you can't hold Liyang, and you can't hold Liyangcang, and you can't hold Liyang Cang, and you can only have one result of sticking to the Liyang battlefield, and the whole army will be annihilated. ”

There was a dead silence. Li Anqi is telling the truth, if there is no Donglai Water Division, no army of King Qi, and only Chen Ling's Weifu Army, then the alliance is still certain to hold Liyang with the "tacit understanding" of the Hebei army led by Cui Hongsheng, but now there are four Weifu troops besieging Liyang, and the result of the alliance holding on to the Liyang battlefield can only be the annihilation of the whole army. The alliance lost the Liyang battlefield, and it could not hold on to the White Horse battlefield, so it could only flee as far as it could, and this escape meant that even if Li Fengyun successfully evacuated the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, he would not be able to escape the killing of the Weifu army from all sides, and the alliance would be wiped out.

Tangtai Wuyang weighed again and again, considering that the White Horse Battlefield and the Liyang Battlefield are a whole, such a big event, the decision-making power is still in the hands of Chen Rui, Han Yao and Li Zixiong, he and Wang Yang, 6 Ping are at most the role of a messenger, since they are the messengers, of course, they must ask the other party's requirements clearly, so Tangtai Wuyang arched his hand and said, "Gongzi is here, there should be a good plan, please give advice." ”

Li Anqi did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought, as if he was hesitant about something.

Seeing that Li Anqi didn't speak at the critical moment, Tantai Wuyang and the others couldn't help but be puzzled, so they turned their eyes to Xu Shiyan who was sitting on the side.

Xu Shixi is Li Fengyun's brother to Jin Lan, in the eyes of the alliance's high-level people, the status is very special, especially since the alliance entered the Central Plains, he not only used the huge fleet of the Lihu Xu clan to provide various conveniences to the alliance, but also helped the alliance to maintain close contact with Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Meng Haigong and other heroes, this time he brought Li Anqi over, which is enough to prove that he also maintains a secret connection between Li Fengyun and the Hebei giants on behalf of Li Fengyun, which makes him more important in the alliance's high-level affairs.

Xu Shiyun gave everyone a reassuring look. Tangtai Wuyang and others didn't know that Li Baiyao and Li Anqi's father and son were now by King Qi's side, acting as the contact and secret envoy between the Hebei tycoons, the alliance and the King of Qi, so although Tangtai Wuyang and others estimated that Li Anqi was acting as a lobbyist for King Qi, they didn't know much about the hidden secrets behind a Hebei wealthy son being a lobbyist for King Qi supported by a local wealthy family in Guanlong, so when they saw that Li Anqi suddenly made up his mind and hesitated, It is reasonable to guess that this may involve a political transaction between a wealthy family in Hebei and a wealthy family in Guanlong, which is a secret that cannot be disclosed, so confidential Shantai Wuyang and others don't want to know, knowing something that shouldn't be known is harmful to them.

In fact, Li Anqi's hesitation was indeed involved in confidential matters, but these things were closely related to King Qi, and once they were leaked, it would not only be unfavorable to King Qi himself, but would also have an adverse impact on the entire situation.

This was a completely unexpected thing for Li Baiyao and Li Anqi's father and son, they never dreamed that the generals around the King of Qi, that is, the Zuo Xiaowei general Dong Chun and Wu Benlang General Li Shanheng, who were trusted by the King of Qi and shared weal and woe with the King of Qi, at the critical moment, ignored the orders of the King of Qi and led the army into Dongjun, one in Puyang on the south bank of the Great River, and the other in Fengqiu on the north bank of Jishui. Chen Bing Junyi's order under the city is equivalent to directly setting up the king of Qi and directly depriving the king of Qi of his military power.

This is an unbelievable thing, there must be Li Zixiong's "figure" behind this, because from Li Zixiong's position, no matter what, the king of Qi cannot be allowed to enter Beijing, so that the king of Qi can become the "chess piece" of the two major political groups in the joint battle for the emperor's unification, but Li Zixiong's strength alone is not enough to convince Dong Chun and Li Shanheng, so there must be a more powerful force behind this matter, and this force is undoubtedly the Li family of Longxi Chengji, which is the wealthy family of Longxi with Guogong Li Hun as the king, They also didn't want to see the King of Qi enter Beijing to snatch the imperial throne, and they didn't want to become the funeral object of the King of Qi, so they didn't do anything, and they simply set aside the King of Qi, and their own fate was decided.

On the way to the west, the king of Qi received letters from Dong Chun and Li Shanheng respectively, and the two of them were like discussing in advance, and the strategies they offered were the same, they were all to seize Liyang as quickly as possible, control Liyang Cang, and jam the "throat" of Dongdu and the Holy Lord, so as to ensure that they were invincible in this storm, and then they could get the maximum benefits as they wished. As for the order of the King of Qi to threaten the Eastern Capital, the two did not mention it from beginning to end, as if the King of Qi had never given such an order at all, or that the order they thought was so stupid that they lost their minds would not come from the mouth of the King of Qi at all, and they directly ignored it.

Instead of being furious or furious, King Qi chose to remain silent and obedient, as if he had indeed not given that stupid order.

Wei Fusi didn't speak, and sighed gloomily.

Li Baiyao is very generous, the Holy Lord's eyes are like torches, King Qi is indeed not the material for being a "human master", otherwise there would definitely not be this kind of "strong ministers and weak lords, strong ministers and bullying lords". Of course, if the king of Qi had not made the wrong choice, disregarded the lives of the powerful people loyal to him, and made a gamble with no chance of winning, and had already had such a bloody lesson, but still died unrepentant, the magnates would not have resorted to such extraordinary means. In fact, Li Zixiong, Dong Chun, Li Shanheng and others are also helpless, they can't watch King Qi kill himself, and then they are martyred for King Qi, right? In any case, the king of Qi has a chance to inherit the imperial throne, and the established strategy of going north is also feasible, so why not fight hard? Why do you have to get yourself caught up in this storm and fall into the brink of extinction?

In Dong Chun and Li Shanheng's strategy, the king of Qi wants to control the two battlefields of Baima and Liyang, and the king of Qi wants to control the overall situation, only in this way can the established goal be achieved, but this requires the tacit cooperation of the alliance, if there is no cooperation of the alliance, the two sides will fight to the death, and the result must be a defeat for both sides, and a complete defeat, but in this way, the alliance must make a huge compromise, and even make a huge sacrifice, which not only destroys Li Fengyun's plan, damages the interests of the alliance, but also makes the alliance's strategy to go north have the possibility of complete failure.

King Qi knew that this strategy was very good and most beneficial to him, and he also thought about it, but he gave up immediately, because this strategy was a unilateral tearing up of the agreement, and it was a complete act of breaking the letter and abandoning the promise. Although the King of Qi may be able to take this opportunity to annex the alliance and strengthen himself, what followed was a complete turn of face with the Hebei people. Yang Xuangan killed You Yuan, he destroyed Li Fengyun, the enmity between Guan Long and Hebei people became deeper and deeper, in this case he went north to defend Xinjiang, once the northern captives invaded, the Civil War broke out, Hebei people don't need to be behind the black hand at all, as long as a little trick, with a little yang scheme, he will shed his skin even if he doesn't die, let alone dominate the northern Xinjiang, that is pure wishful thinking.

However, King Qi didn't dare to do what he didn't want to do, but Li Zixiong, Dong Chun and Li Shanheng "rose to the challenge". For these magnates, their own interests are the greatest, treachery, falling into the well, taking advantage of the fire and robbery are normal means, not surprising, besides, the opponent is very strong, if you don't take the opportunity to start now, don't grasp the "key" of the Hebei people, and don't force the Hebei people to make compromises and concessions, even if the king of Qi goes north in the future, the difficulties encountered are also very great, once the Hebei people are stuck in the "neck" and pinched the "key points", then the king of Qi will not become a puppet of the Hebei people? In this way, in the future, the king of Qi will inherit the imperial lineage, won't he make wedding clothes for the people of Shandong? This is absolutely unacceptable to the people of Guanlong. For the Guanlong people, at any time and under any circumstances, they must control the overall situation, even if they go to northern Xinjiang, it is the Guanlong people who have the final say, as for the Shandong people, they must step on the soles of their feet, and they must not let the Shandong people have the opportunity to sit big.

King Qi directly threw the problem to Li Baiyao. He can't solve this matter, and Li Baiyao can't solve it, but Li Baiyao's mission is this, he can pass the message to the people of Hebei and the alliance, so that the three parties can "negotiate" on the battlefield, sit on the ground, pay back the money on the spot, compromise and compromise with each other, until they come up with a plan that is acceptable to all three parties.

Li Anqi knew that if he told the truth, he would definitely anger the alliance, so after careful consideration, he decided to hide the truth, and many times not knowing the truth is more conducive to cooperation than knowing the truth.

"If the King of Qi captures Liyang and controls Liyang Cang, then is there any reason for Hebei to arrest the ambassador Cui Hongsheng, the deputy Wu Benlang general of Zhuo County, and the Donglai Naval Division? There was certainly no reason to stay in Liyang, and they had to cross the river to support the Eastern Capital. Li Anqi said, "In this way, the alliance can continue to and safely obtain grain from Liyang Cang, and when the time comes, the alliance can also cross the river to the north without danger and achieve the purpose of moving to Hebei." ”

Yutai Wuyang and the others looked at each other, but they didn't speak, their expressions were gloomy and the atmosphere was depressing.

This strategy does look good and mutually beneficial, but if you think about it carefully, there is a fatal point, that is, the king of Qi not only used the grain in Liyang's warehouse to easily jam the "neck" of the alliance, but also used this opportunity to block the alliance's northward road, which is actually equivalent to controlling the alliance in disguise and determining the life and death of the alliance.

How could the alliance hand over its fate to the King of Qi and the people of Guan Long? What's the difference between that and suicide by jumping into a river?
