The king of Qi led his army over the mountains and mountains, and traveled in a hurry day and night, and finally arrived at the bank of the Sanggan River without danger and got rid of the danger.
Although after the King of Qi arrived in Lingqiu, there was Li Minhu from the left and right, all the way to the send-off, but the danger is a fact, after all, Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong are not in the Flying Fox, the unruly marshals are difficult to restrain them, once there are bold and reckless people who suddenly attack, deliberately provoke the fight between the alliance and the King of Qi, the situation will inevitably get out of control, and the soldiers of the Weifu because they do not know the inside story, after going deep into the dangerous place, they are worried that they will be surrounded by rebels and the whole army will be annihilated, so they are highly vigilant, and the slightest wind and grass may make a misjudgment and fight. Therefore, both sides are very cautious and extremely cautious, and do not dare to have any contact, one is that the enemy advances and we retreat, avoiding without fighting, and the other is that the enemy retreats and we advance, and passes quickly, and both sides are worried and trembling, lest there be an accident.
When they arrived at the Daiwang City, dozens of miles further along the Qiyi Water was the Sangganshui, at this time the King of Qi and the soldiers under his command finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous mood was also relaxed, and they suddenly felt exhausted, and immediately camped to rest and recover their strength.
Li Min has also been frightened and sleepless all night these days, and he is exhausted and difficult to support at this moment, but he can't rest, and he still has to get in touch with the frontline defenders as quickly as possible, so as to get the latest news of the alliance's northern expeditionary army and the latest changes in the situation in Yanbei.
Fortunately, all the good news was obtained, and the changes in the situation in Yanbei were also conducive to King Qi's northward journey to the Great Wall. Li Min was in a good mood and was in a good mood, and hurriedly reported to King Qi.
King Qi was worried, worried about this and that, and did not have too much confidence in controlling Yanbei, after all, Yanbei is different from Qilu, there is no grain in the outside of the northern captives, so it is necessary to maintain an offensive externally to suppress the northern captives, and to compromise and tolerate internally in order to obtain supplies, in short, there is a sharp sword hanging on his head, a noose around his neck, and one end of the noose is held in the hands of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion that represents the interests of the Holy Lord and the center, and he is restrained everywhere, which makes the King of Qi very uneasy. If the decision is good, the consequences are unbearable.
Now Yanbei was caught off guard by the sudden difficulties of Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and all the forces were beaten with sticks, one by one they turned to their noses and swollen faces, and the Yin Shishi was directly beaten down, dying; Zhao Shizhu "disarmed and surrendered", tacitly cooperated; Considering the interests of the local people, Po Liuhan Maha did not dare to stand in line at all, and could only sway from side to side at both ends of the rat, which was actually a passive beating and handed over the initiative. In this situation, Yanbei is scattered, and all forces have to make a living in order to protect themselves, each taking its own benefits, and even not hesitating to turn against each other to damage others and benefit themselves, and the position has been completely chaotic, which is very beneficial to the king of Qi, and he can calmly clean up the chaos, and under the coercion and temptation, he can easily take down the opponent, and Yanbei has become a bag.
King Qi was overjoyed, very excited, the problems that plagued him were solved, which is a good sign, and at the same time, he also realized more deeply that Li Fengyun and the alliance have reached a certain scale, which is enough to affect and even change the regional situation, and Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and other powerful forces have joined, but also let the alliance's strength swell, and now it can control the situation in Yanbei, so if it continues, the future alliance will inevitably get out of control, once the tiger is raised, the consequences will be serious, and if it is not done well, it will support the army and become enemies. At that time, internal strife erupted, cannibalism was extinguished, all previous efforts were wasted, and all efforts were in vain. For this reason, the old sorrow of King Qi has just gone, and the new sorrow comes to his heart, and he immediately thinks of countermeasures, so as to take precautions and prevent problems before they burn.
The best countermeasure is to divide the alliance, although Li Zixiong, Han Shige, and Zhou Zhong nominally support the King of Qi, and fight against Li Fengyun within the alliance, which can play a role in containing and weakening Li Fengyun, but Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and others actually have their own thoughts, and they are not optimistic about the future of King Qi, and their support for King Qi is very limited, and they all have the idea of using them, and they cannot be really used by King Qi, plus Li Fengyun came up with a strategy to recover Anzhou to reduce the contradictions with them and increase trust between them. As a result, the binding force and attraction of the King of Qi to them became worse and worse. King Qi knew this, so he wanted to use his own way to govern his body, you dig my corner, I will also dig your corner, in comparison, King Qi's attraction to the alliance commanders is far greater than the substantial benefits that Li Fengyun can give Li Zixiong and other magnates.
King Qi took action when he had an idea, so in the discussion of Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao, Li Shanheng, and Li Min, he pretended to ask casually, "If Bai Ruo successfully recovers Anzhou and gains a foothold outside the Saiwai, when will you evacuate the Flying Fox and rush to the Saiwai rendezvous?" ā
Li Min replied without thinking, "There is no specific time, and there is not even a discussion about the evacuation of the Flying Fox to the Cypriot Foreign Meeting. ā
King Qi was surprised, Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao and Li Shanheng also looked at each other, such a big event is not only related to the future of the left-behind legions, but also related to the life and death of the alliance, Bai actually didn't discuss, discuss, or decide, why? Could it be that the strategy of fighting to recover Anzhou is a false idea, a bluff, and a false shot, just to lure the king of Qi to go north, and to use the king of Qi to control Yanbei to hinder the encirclement and suppression of the alliance by the Weifu army on all sides? But this is not right, he deceived the king of Qi in vain, but he couldn't deceive Li Zixiong, Han Shige and Zhou Zhong and other magnates, so there is only one possibility left for the reason for not making a decision, that is, there is no such thing as a rendezvous at all, the alliance left-behind legion is in Yanbei, and the alliance northern expeditionary army is fighting outside the Saiwai, the two armies echo from east to west, join forces inside and outside, and work together to seek the future, and what is the future? It is Youyan who is about to come out, and it is precisely to use the banner of King Qi to actually control Youyan. Does King Qi want to cooperate? Of course, he can't ask for it, what King Qi covets is the imperial system, Youyan is just a springboard to achieve this goal, of course he has to cooperate tacitly.
King Qi immediately realized the crisis. If you look at it from another angle, it is to completely control the initiative and control the exhibition of the situation in Youyan, and then if the King of Qi wants to control Youyan, he must use the power of the alliance, and if the Zhuojun Mansion wants to stick to Youyan, he must compromise with the local forces of Youyan and maintain the official control with the help of the power of the Youyan giants, and the local forces of Youyan will inevitably sway on both sides in order to ensure their own interests, so the alliance can get the secret support of the King of Qi and the Youyan giants, and the strength will be further expanded. The control over Youyan's situation is stronger, and finally a pattern of four major forces competing for Youyan will be formed.
This is a situation that King Qi absolutely does not want to see. He is the king, the boss, Bai is a thief, and he is a thug, although he can't decide Bai's life and death, but he must firmly control Bai, and not let Bai grow strong enough to fight against him, or even control him in turn.
King Qi's face was gloomy, and he was in a bad mood again. Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao, and Li Shanheng were also silent, thinking about it separately.
After a long time, Li Shanheng took the lead in breaking the silence, "When we get here, the possibility of conflict between our two sides no longer exists, so at this time, we should give each other more trust and exchange more information to seek better cooperation." ā
Li Min noticed that Li Shanheng lowered his posture and took the initiative to talk about cooperation, but unfortunately, he couldn't respond, not only did he not have this power, but he also didn't know anything about the core secrets, his father Li Zixiong didn't say a word, Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui, and Han Yao were also tight-lipped, and all he could do was to smile bitterly.
"What a certain statement is true, and there is no deception." "Within the alliance, there is also speculation about this matter. Most of the marshals think that Li Fengyun's goal is actually Yanbei when he goes north this time, and the so-called exit is just a suspicious tactic and is not credible. Since he is still fighting in Yanbei, how can he say that he will be united? Although a few people know that Li Fengyun's real goal is Anzhou, they are all Li Fengyun's cronies, obey Li Fengyun's orders, and absolutely believe in Li Fengyun. Since they believed in Li Fengyun, how could they suspect that Li Fengyun had abandoned them? In the future, of course, we will meet outside the Seychelles. So in this matter, there is very little information that can be given to the king. ā
Li Shanheng exchanged glances with King Qi, Wei Fusi, and Li Baiyao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What information can you provide to the king?" ā
Along the way, they were on high alert to each other, neither daring to try so as not to cause misunderstanding between the other party, thinking that they had other plans, and they did not dare to take the initiative to talk about asking for trouble, after all, they had nothing to do and were either treacherous or thieves, so there was no in-depth exchange of information between the two sides for several days.
Li Min thought for a while and took the initiative to reveal a secret, that is, the defensive deployment of the left-behind legions, among which the army defending the front line of Qiyishui had the most, and they were all Hebei heroes.
This is the core secret of the alliance, and it stands to reason that it should not be revealed, but Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui, and Han Yao insisted on their own opinions, and told Li Min to find an opportunity to tell King Qi, and Li Min could only do so. This secret is tantamount to a euphemistic warning to King Qi not to try to control the left-behind legions, nor to deliberately divide the alliance, it is better to stick to the bottom line of cooperation, because the strength of Hebei in the left-behind legions is too strong, and the Hebei giants have greater influence on the left-behind legions.
King Qi's face was gloomy, and he was in an extremely unhappy mood. He had just moved his mind here, planning to take advantage of Li Fengyun's exit and the absence of the alliance to win over and buy some heroes in order to directly control this force, and the alliance issued a warning, Li Fengyun even took precautions, and had already done enough in the defensive deployment, not giving the king of Qi the slightest chance to "reach out", which was simply an insult.
Li Shanheng deeply thinks that he can cooperate deeply with Li Fengyun, take what he needs, and seek his own benefits, but it is better to distance himself from the Hebei giants, after all, this is someone's territory, and the King of Qi goes to other people's territory to "grab food", damaging the interests of others, and will inevitably produce contradictions and conflicts.
Wei Fusi understood, and immediately responded to Li Min, expressing the intention of tacit cooperation, and then cautiously asked, "At present, most of the left-behind heroes are from Hebei, can you ensure absolute control over the left-behind army?" ā
This is a real problem, Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong took away all the main forces, leaving the cronies who stick to the Flying Fox with insufficient strength, and in fact, it is difficult to guarantee absolute control over the remaining legions. This crisis will not explode immediately in the short term because of the uncertain situation, but in the long run, the struggle will certainly be fierce, and the consequences will be worrying.
Li Min did not shy away from it, and directly admitted the existence of the crisis, "So, we need the support of the king." ā
King Qi couldn't help but sneer, you sinister and cunning thieves are calculating Lone all the time, are you lonely idiots? It's okay to support, but it's okay to exchange benefits.
