Li Mi felt very bad, felt very passive, felt that he was calculated by Li Fengyun, if he really hit the Eastern Capital, he even had an ominous feeling of being calculated to death by Li Fengyun.

He looked at Li Fengyun with a suspicious expression, and wanted to ask loudly, who are you? How many secrets do you really know? What is the purpose of your coming down from the sky?

Li Fengyun had a cold face, and continued, "You have three strategies, go to Youzhou in the north, enter Guanzhong in the west, and fight in the eastern capital, but in a certain opinion, your two strategies are too heavy, and there are too many talks on paper, so there is no possibility of implementation." If nothing else, Yue Guogong is close to a certain opinion, he does not agree with your two strategies, but prefers to fight the eastern capital, but the difficulty of fighting the eastern capital is indeed too great, as you said, whether you can defeat the eastern capital, not depends on the number of troops, but in the game of interests. However, if you want to win in the game of interests, there are too many restricted conditions, such as time, if the attack time is not enough, the situation will be different, and if the situation is unfavorable to Yue Guogong, it will inevitably evolve into a defeat of 'the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and the drum breaks the 10,000 gavels', so it is difficult for Yue Guogong to make a decision. ”

Li Mi's heart suddenly hung in the air, and a strong sense of suffocation made his breath suddenly heavy, "When you went west to the Central Plains, did you deliberately worsen the situation in the Eastern Capital, so as to help the Duke of Yue strengthen his determination to fight the Eastern Capital?" ”

Li Fengyun shook his head noncommittally, "If you don't enter the Central Plains, if you don't open up the canal, what will you eat and drink?" Can you give a certain grain? If you can give a certain grain, a certain person immediately crosses the river to the north, kills Zhuo County, charges for the Duke of Yueguo, and turns your strategy of going north into reality. ”

Li Mi was speechless. said a thousand things and ten thousand, the reason why Li Fengyun wanted to participate in this mutiny was also a last resort, if there was food to feed the army, why did he bother to wade into this troubled water? Judging from Li Fengyun's situation and position, whether there is this mutiny or not, he will enter the Central Plains for the second time to loot the Tongji Canal, but the current problem is that once the waterway of the Tongji Canal is interrupted, which directly affects the Second Eastern Crusade, then the Holy Lord may give up the Eastern Crusade and withdraw from the Liaodong battlefield in advance, so that the "death" of this mutiny will be directly pronounced.

"You're going to cut off the canal?" Li Mi asked.

Li Fengyun shook his head, "Why did you want to cut off the Tongji Canal?" The Tongji Canal is broken, which will inevitably endanger the Second Eastern Crusade, and such a heavy responsibility is that the officials left behind in the Eastern Capital and the military and political officials along the Tongji Canal cannot afford it, and they will inevitably exhaust all means and attack a certain person at any cost, which will not do a certain good, and a certain will certainly not make this strategy to kill himself. ”

"Like last year?" Li Mi thoughtfully, "Last year, you advanced and retreated freely because of the tacit cooperation of the King of Qi, but this year it was the King of Yue who stayed in the Eastern Capital, and the one who assisted the King of Yue was Fan Zigai, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it was impossible for them to show mercy to your subordinates, as long as you endangered the Tongji Canal, the army of the Eastern Capital would inevitably roar." ”

Li Fengyun smiled, "This is a good thing, this will help Liyang, the Duke of Yueguo, raise troops, and it will also help you to kill the Eastern Capital with lightning speed." ”

Li Mi looked at Li Fengyun with suspicious eyes, "This doesn't do you any good, you are not the opponent of the Eastern Capital army at all." ”

"Who said that so-and-so is going to face off against the Eastern Capital Army?"

"If you want to plunder the Tongji Canal, you will inevitably fight head-on with the army of the Eastern Capital."

"A certain is to loot the Tongji Canal, which is the main goal of a certain westward march into the Central Plains, but if the Tongji Canal is heavily guarded, and the army of the Eastern Capital is roaring again, there is no way to start, how can it continue to loot the Tongji Canal?"

Li Mi suddenly realized, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging tightly. The most important mission of his trip was to prevent or delay Li Fengyun from interrupting the Tongji Canal. As long as the Tongji Canal is always unblocked, the grain route of the Eastern Expedition is always safe, and as long as the grain and grass baggage from Jiangzuo always arrives at the battlefield in Liaodong, then the Eastern Expedition will not be interrupted, and the expeditionary force will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang within the predetermined time, thus giving this mutiny enough time.

"Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang, so that's it." Li Mi continued to chin and asked eagerly, "Since your looting of the Tongji Canal is fake, where is your real goal?" ”

Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hide it, "Yuzhou." ”

Yuzhou? Yingru area? The three counties of Yingchuan, Runan and Xiangyang? Li Mi suddenly realized, Li Fengyun is really powerful, last time he successfully looted the Tongji Canal with the help of King Qi's "tacit understanding", and expanded the alliance while alleviating the food crisis, this time he concocted the same method, and actually wanted to use Yang Xuangan's "tacit understanding" to loot Yuzhou, and this time he still wants to expand the alliance while alleviating the food crisis? It is false to march west into the Central Plains and plunder the Tongji Canal, so is it also false to participate in the mutiny and attack the East? Will he carry out the "Ming plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang" to the end, make a false shot at the critical moment, and then turn the horse's head and go straight to other places, taking advantage of the chaos in the eastern capital, the tense domestic situation, and the lack of time for the imperial court to take care of anything else, occupy a piece of territory somewhere and quickly strengthen himself?

Li Mi's estimation is close to the truth, but Li Fengyun will not tell him the truth.

Li Zixiong, Wei Fusi, and Dong Chun are all bigwigs in the military and political circles, Li Fengyun's cooperation with them is based on mutual benefit, and Li Mi is still just a pampered and talented wealthy son, his real purpose of following Yang Xuangan wholeheartedly is to reverse his "***" political identity and re-enter the official career to show his ambitions, so there is no common interest between him and Li Fengyun, and he cannot give Li Fengyun substantial help in politics and military, and there is no basis for cooperation between the two sides. Besides, he is now Yang Xuangan's envoy and the spokesperson of Yang Xuangan's interests, and Yang Xuangan and Li Fengyun also have no common interests, and the cooperation between the two sides is purely mutual use and insincere, so we can see the attitude and position of the two sides towards each other.

Yang Xuangan and Li Mi tried to use Li Fengyun, and if they wanted to use Li Fengyun, they had to control Li Fengyun and let him use it for their own use, while Li Fengyun tried to use the mutiny they started to achieve his goal of going north. Both sides are not at ease and have ill intentions, and one can imagine how fragile the foundation of "cooperation" between the two sides is.

It is precisely because Li Fengyun is powerful and valuable, and the foundation of cooperation is too fragile, that Li Mi is cautious and strives to establish the most basic trust between compromise and forbearance, so as to maintain the cooperation between the two sides and extract the full value of Li Fengyun to the greatest extent. Under the current situation, as long as Li Mi does not interrupt the Tongji Canal and does not deteriorate the shape of the Eastern Capital to the extreme, then it will be fine, as for what Li Fengyun's ultimate goal is, it does not matter, on the contrary, Li Fengyun's "ill intentions" have strengthened Li Mi's determination and confidence to drag him into the battlefield of the Eastern Capital and completely sacrifice him at the critical moment.

Li Mi's face finally showed a smile, a very sincere smile, "I didn't hear this secret from Jianchang Gong. ”

The implication is that you have reservations and precautions about Jianchang Gong, but you have endless words to me, which shows that there is still a certain foundation of trust between us, and then we can talk about cooperation in detail, there is no need to continue to test and question, the saber rattling makes the atmosphere very tense.

Li Fengyun also smiled relaxedly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "It is the Duke of Yue Guo who is about to raise the flag in Liyang, not the Duke of Jianchang." ”

Li Mi smiled and nodded, agreeing with what Li Fengyun said.

At present, among several powerful people who planned the mutiny, Li Zixiong is in the worst situation, it can be said that he is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and he may have an accident at any time, and once Li Zixiong is unexpected, the problem will be strict, and he is more strict than Li Fengyun who knows many secrets of the mutiny. Li Fengyun himself was a traitor, a rebel, and a sworn enemy of the Holy Lord and the imperial court, and of course he "welcomed" this mutiny, and although the secret "channel" given to him might endanger this mutiny, since Li Fengyun actively participated in this mutiny, it was enough to show that this "channel" intended to fuel the flames and did not pose much threat to the mutineers. And Li Zixiong's accident is different, Li Zixiong is a military and political veteran, no one dares to touch him unless the Holy Lord gives an order, and if the Holy Lord orders to arrest him, it can only mean one thing, the secret of the mutiny has been exposed.

Yang Xuangan was very worried about Li Zixiong and warned him, but Li Zixiong is a veteran after all, Yang Xuangan can only do this, excessive interference is not knowing how to advance or retreat, and Li Mi is the last of the juniors, and he is humble and light, and he does not dare to "point fingers" at Li Zixiong, even if he has ideas, he can only put them in his heart. Obviously, Li Fengyun also saw this, so even if he cooperated with Li Zixiong, he always maintained a certain "distance" to avoid accidents.

"This westward march has to pass through Liang County and enter Yuzhou, and the name of a certain Liu Zhiyuan, whether in Liang County or Yuzhou, has some effect."

Li Mi took the initiative to cooperate in Jianyi, and he wanted to stay, once again using Liu Zhiyuan's name to return to the alliance, as close as last year.

Li Fengyun agreed without thinking. Now he really needs Li Mi's help, and he needs to call on the "resources" deployed by Yang Xuangan on the front line of Tongji Canal, especially after entering Yuzhou, he needs the tacit cooperation of the Yingru aristocratic bureaucracy, otherwise it will be difficult for him to alleviate the food crisis of the alliance in a short period of time, and make preliminary preparations for attacking the eastern capital.

"Now that I'm back in the league, I have to play for the league." Li Mi said with a smile, "But I need to know the specific strategy of the alliance to move west into the Central Plains, otherwise I won't be able to start." ”

Li Fengyun showed enough sincerity to cooperate and informed the alliance in detail of its westward expansion strategy.

After the alliance entered Liang County, the task was to loot the Tongji Canal, grab the grain, and wait until the army of the Eastern Capital roared, then immediately divided the troops into two ways, all the way back to the Ji and He, to attract the attention of the Eastern Capital, all the way to cross the Tongji Canal into Yuzhou, to fight to nourish the war, step by step close to the Tianjian defense line, and wait for Yang Xuangan Liyang to raise troops, then cross the Tianjian defense line, from Yique Road to kill the Eastern Capital, and Yang Xuangan formed a north-south attack.

The core of Li Fengyun's westward strategy is to attack the eastern capital, and in Li Mi's view, it is easy to give up the difficult to fight the east, and it is the next strategy. The two sides are too closely divided on core decisions.

"On what basis do you conclude that the Duke of Yue will definitely fight the Eastern Capital?" Li Mi questioned.
