August 20, early morning, Flying Fox City, the Grand Governor's Mansion of the Alliance. Biquge www.biquge.info*/

The top level of the alliance approved the decision to regain Anju in the east, and immediately discussed and formulated a specific implementation plan.

The alliance soldiers were divided into two routes, one way out of the fortress to fight, and the other way to stay behind the flying fox. The army out of the fortress was commanded by Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and was composed of more than 40,000 soldiers of the 10th Army of the 10th Army, the 1st to 5th Armies of the Alliance under the jurisdiction of the Central Road Governor's Office, Han Shige and Zhou Zhong; The left-behind army is composed of Zhen Baoche as the commander, Chen Rui, Hao Xiaode, Wang Shu, and Li Min as the deputies, and is composed of about 80,000 soldiers in 20 armies.

Now the number of alliance troops is indeed considerable, but the real combat effectiveness of the soldiers is less than thirty percent, and now Li Fengyun has brought all the main forces of the lineage out of the fortress, which has led to the difficulty of survival of the heroes and civilians who stayed behind in the Flying Fox greatly increased.

How can the problem be solved? The key is also that the king of Qi went north.

For the Holy Lord and the center, no matter what means are used, no matter what name is used, it is impossible to hide its purpose of annihilating the alliance, so Duan Da's strategy of borrowing power to kill people has rich content, only the operation is good, and it is not impossible to have both fish and mussels, and for the alliance, the water comes to cover the earth, the soldiers will block, and actively respond, the soldiers are divided into two ways, hold on to the end inside, and reverse the situation outside, but there is not much chance of victory outside, in order to protect the back road, we must do our best to ensure that we can hold on to the end.

It is still certain that the left-behind legion can hold on to the flying fox until winter, but once the Legion is defeated or the whole army is annihilated, the situation will change, and the left-behind legion will also be divided, and the consequences can be imagined, so the importance of the King of Qi is reflected here, if the alliance wants to continue to hold on after losing Li Fengyun and the main army, and continue to implement the plan to go north, it must be protected by the King of Qi, otherwise it will fall apart and even be defeated.

Similarly, the King of Qi also needs an alliance, although the core of the plan to go north is the King of Qi, but if there is no army of the alliance, how can the King of Qi develop and grow in the shortest possible time? The king of Qi did not have great strength, so how could he kill and make contributions in the Civil War? And how to survive the war and cut off the hegemony after the war?

However, the influence of the King of Qi going north is too great, and the interests involved are too complex, not to mention that the Holy Lord and the center should consider the overall situation, even the King of Qi himself, and he must also be cautious, after all, they are different from traitors who have nothing, they have all aspects of interests involved, and it is reasonable to look forward and look ahead, unless he is cornered, it is impossible for the King of Qi to lose his mind, regardless of going north without authorization, so it is simply unrealistic to hope that the King of Qi will go north to the Great Wall in the shortest possible time, and to support the alliance on two fronts inside and outside the Great Wall.

It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, or that sentence, fate must be in your own hands, and the alliance still has to rely on its own efforts to persevere to the end, only in this way can you firmly control the initiative, whether in the confrontation with Duan Da or in the cooperation with King Qi, you can be invincible and seek to maximize benefits.

The result of the discussion between Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong and the marshals was that with the Flying Fox as the center, relying on the favorable terrain of the confluence of Taihang, Hengshan and Sanggan River, and holding the four key passes of Lingqiu, Changshan Pass, Puyin and Ulcheng with heavy troops, they would go all out to defend, but the passive defense was too passive, and they must be supplemented by attack, and they should choose the opportunity to attack, attack northern Hebei to the south, and attack Yanbei to the north, so as to replace defense with offense and active defense.

Among the legions left behind, the Alliance's Grand Governor's Office, the Xiao Cavalry Army and Niu Jinda's 22nd Army of the Alliance sat in the Flying Fox and responded in the center; The front and rear four road governors led the armies under their jurisdiction to guard a key pass, of which Hao Xiaode, the head of the front road, led the army to defend Ulcheng, and the soldiers were on the first line of Qiyishui, and the sword pointed directly at the hinterland of Yanbei, and Sun Xuanya, the head of the back road, led the army to hold Changshan Pass and threatened Boling, and Wang Bo, the head of the left road, led the army to control Puyin and confront Shanggu, and Huo Xiaohan, the head of the right road, led the army to hold on to Lingqiu and block the attack from Yanmen and Daibei.

After this decision was passed, Li Fengyun personally wrote to the four governors' offices before and after, telling them in detail the causes and consequences of the alliance's decision, and asking them to understand and support it. In the name of the Grand Governor's Office, he also issued a mobilization order, requiring all armies to reach their destinations as quickly as possible and in the shortest possible time.

Now the left road governor Wang Bo and the troops under his jurisdiction are in Puyin, the back road manager Sun Xuanya and the troops under his jurisdiction are in Changshan Pass, and it is Huo Xiaohan, the head of the right road, and the troops under his command who need to travel day and night, they need to rush to Lingqiu from Puyin, and Hao Xiaode, the head of the front road, and the third army of the alliance that held Changshan Pass before, must rush to the front line of Ulcheng and Qiyishui, among which Yue Gao's third army of the alliance will meet Li Fengyun to fight, and the time is more urgent.

August 20, Yicheng, the capital of the Upper Valley.

Duan Da, who stayed behind in Zhuo County, received a letter of urgency from Feng Deyi.

The good news is that the King of Qi was persuaded by Feng Deyi and was willing to go north to the Great Wall quickly, and was willing to cooperate with the white-haired thieves to go out to fight, the bad news was that the King of Qi put forward conditions, the most important of which was that there must be an edict from the Holy Lord, although the proposal to patrol the border was accepted by the King of Qi, but whether the Holy Lord was willing to let the King of Qi go north to patrol the border is unknown.

Another condition is to transfer the left Xiaowei general Dong Chun to the north, this is more difficult, but since the King of Qi has put it forward, there must be a backhand, once the King of Qi uses the situation in Yanbei and even the northern Xinjiang to coerce the Holy Lord and the center, the situation will be complicated, so Feng Deyi suggested that it is better to try to meet the condition of the King of Qi, after all, it is very dangerous from the current state of the King of Qi, a little crazy, very irrational, and the means of seeking survival by political suicide seem ridiculous, but it is actually full of political wisdom, so don't despise the King of Qi, so as not to reap the consequences.

Duan Da comprehended and immediately cooperated with Feng Deyi to play the Holy Lord, considering that after the white-haired thief retreated to the flying fox, he would definitely cause trouble in Yanbei, so it was necessary to strengthen the Yanbei garrison. Duan Da put forward two suggestions, one is to urgently transfer Chen Ling, the deputy left-behind guard of Zhuo County, who went south to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, and 10,000 troops to return quickly, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, so Duan Da's second suggestion is that the Yin Shishi will be appointed as the deputy guard of Zhuo County, and the Yin Shishi participated in the implementation of the murder plan by the knife, and is familiar with the current situation.

Duan Da also wrote a secret letter to Zhao Cai, the general of the right guard, and told the king of Qi in detail about the fact that Dong Chun, the general of the left Xiaowei, went north to assist, and then proceeded from the overall situation of the north and the south, and implored Zhao Cai to give "care", after all, everything he is doing now is for the civil war, as long as he wins this war, the biggest profit will definitely be the vested interests among the high-level people.

On August 21, the secret letter of the King of Qi was delivered to the Flying Fox Governor's Mansion day and night through the hands of Yue Gao, who guarded Changshan Pass.

After reading the letter, Li Fengyun was overjoyed, and could not hide his excitement, slapped the case on the table, and applauded repeatedly.

Li Zixiong eagerly read it, and was also very surprised, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, at the critical moment, the king could make such a decision, big things can be done, big things can be done." ”

Thinking of something immediately, Li Zixiong smiled and asked solemnly, "Will the plan to recover Anzhou be leaked?" ”

"No, it won't." Li Fengyun said confidently, "This plan is not only related to the future of the alliance, but also to the future of the King of Qi, so from the position of the King of Qi, only by keeping his mouth shut can he maximize his interests, and this is also the reason why he suddenly went against the norm and decided to go north from the Flying Fox." ”

Li Zixiong bowed slightly, "Indeed, in this way, although King Qi is far from the imperial system, he can improve by leaps and bounds in strength. We succeeded outside the Saiwai, his strength skyrocketed, and if he failed, the remaining legions were his, and his strength still skyrocketed. Strength is supreme, once the King of Qi has an army of 100,000 in the northern Xinjiang, the future is promising. ”

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, pointed to the letter on the desk and said, "Now it seems that we have despised King Qi, and King Qi's wisdom is far higher than we imagined. ”

Li Zixiong shook his hand disapprovingly, "This is all forced by Pei Shiju, if it is not for Pei Shiju's successful appeasement, the alliance has the potential to leave him, how can he be decisive and break the boat?" How dare he make a decision and take a risk? ”

"Shoot when it's time to strike." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "King Qi's decision can be regarded as a solution to our urgent need, and we should thank him." ”

"To each his own advantage, to each his own plan." Li Zixiong laughed at it, "This good news should be used, and it should be quickly told to the heroes of all walks of life, so as to boost morale and enhance confidence." ”

"Good!" Li Dao, "Convene everyone's military discussion and formulate specific countermeasures for the King of Qi to take the Flying Fox to ensure that the King of Qi can safely and quickly pass through the Flying Fox and go north to the Great Wall." ”

August 21, Zhuo County, Linshuo Palace.

Feng Deyi, a person from the Inner Shi She, and Duan Da, who stayed behind in Zhuojun, were successively delivered to the palace.

Feng Deyi's recital shook the center. The conspiracy of Song Zixian, the powerful city of Boling and Tang City, broke out with the help of the Uncovered Conference to attack the Holy Driving and assassinate the Holy Lord. At a time of political turmoil, when Yang Xuangan's mutiny had just failed, the seriousness of this case can be imagined. Fortunately, the Boling wealthy family found out in time, and the King of Qi entered Boling to stabilize the situation, making the conspiracy bankrupt, all the conspirators were arrested, and the truth was quickly revealed to the world, and it turned out that the people behind the scenes were Turks.

In addition to the anger of the Holy Lord and the Center, they became more and more pessimistic about the development of the relationship between the North and the South, and the counterattack against the desert Beiyu became more and more intense, but the King of Qi expressed his resoluteness in the form of political suicide, which made the Holy Lord and the Center hesitate and dispute over whether to order the King of Qi to go north in the name of "patrolling the border".

Duan Da's request was relatively easy to solve, and after weighing the Holy Lord and the center, it was decided to transfer the Yin Shishi as the deputy left-behind guard of Zhuo County to guard Yanbei, and at the same time remove Chen Ling from his position as deputy left-behind guard, and Yi Wu Benlang would continue to lead the army to garrison the eastern capital.
