August 19, Night, Flying Fox City, Coalition Governor's Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong rushed back to Flying Fox City day and night over the mountains and mountains, and convened an emergency military meeting at the core of the alliance overnight.

The alliance left and right long Shi Chen Rui, Han Yao, left and right Sima Yuan An, Shantai Wuyang, recorded the military Xiao Yi, Gong Cao, Cangcao military Wang Yang, 6 Ping, alliance guest Yu Rou, Pei Shuang, Zheng Yan, Li Min, Liu Xuan, Kong Yingda, as well as Yang Gongdao, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, who had just returned from the Qiyi Water Battlefield, and more than 20 people, including Zhen Baoche, Xu Shisan, Lu Xingxing, Guo Ming, who returned with Li Fengyun, gathered in the general mansion, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Yuan An took the lead in summarizing the gains and losses of the three-way northward strategy. From July 19 to the beginning of the Longshan decision to go north on the third road, to today's Flying Fox Military Conference, it is exactly one month. In this month's time, the alliance three-way army went through hardships and dangers, and finally successfully captured the flying fox, and entered Yanbei, and then the Weifu army is bound to besiege and kill from all directions, and the alliance army can only take the flying fox as the center, relying on the dangers of Taihang, Hengshan and Sangganshui, etc., to block the attack of the Weifu army, and hold on until the heavy snow falls in winter, so as to win a respite. After a respite, spring comes, and the alliance army can basically gain a foothold in Yanbei, but whether it can grow as quickly as expected and whether it can hold on for a long time depends entirely on the situation in northern Xinjiang and the development of north-south relations.

In order to enter Yanbei, the alliance launched an attack in three directions, and as a result, it completely exposed its strength and shocked the Holy Lord, the Central Hub, and the Weifu Army. Now as far as the situation in northern Hebei is concerned, judging from the latest movements of King Qi, he does not have any signs of being in a crisis, which is enough to prove that the strong strength shown by the alliance has indeed helped King Qi find a reason for the ineffective suppression of thieves in the early stage, but the disadvantages are also obvious, it is precisely because of the strong strength of the alliance that the Holy Lord and the center must hesitate to look forward and hesitate in the matter of the King of Qi going north, once the Holy Lord and the center finally veto the King of Qi going north, the result is counterproductive, and the alliance will shoot itself in the foot.

After Yuan An finished speaking, everyone talked a lot, and they were worried about whether King Qi could go north smoothly.

Li Zixiong slowly stood up and raised his hand to press it. Above the lobby, there was immediate silence.

"So-and-so has good news for you." Li Zixiong smiled and said, "Why did you go to Shanggu and why you came to the front line of the Juma River, you should all have some guesses. The good news is that your guess is right, a certain was on the front line of the Juma River, and had four secret talks with Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County, and the bad news is that the secret talks have not yielded results, and so far, there have been no results. ”

Li Zixiong immediately elaborated on Duan Da's "murder plan by borrowing a knife". Duan Da wanted to drive Li Fengyun out of the fortress to fight, borrowed Li Fengyun's knife to fight the Turks, and used the Turkic sword to kill Li Fengyun, and after Li Fengyun's entire army was annihilated, it was difficult for the king of Qi to do anything. Duan Da vainly tried to kill two birds with one stone, and the fisherman profited, while Li Zixiong planned and only put forward one condition, that is, the king of Qi must go north, and he must give strong support to Li Fengyun, who was fighting on the front line of the Great Wall, so that the king of Qi, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun can work together, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the internal and external attacks can be carried out, so that they can easily solve the problem of basing themselves in Yanbei, and can take this opportunity to grow rapidly.

Duan Da's plan to kill people with a knife is a yang scheme, and Li Zixiong's plan is also a yang scheme, and the key to which of these two yang plots can win in the end is whether the king of Qi can go north as quickly as possible, and the only one who can decide the king of Qi to go north is the holy lord and the center, so the question boils down to the end, that is, what is the attitude of the holy lord and the center on the matter of the king of Qi going north?

Li Zixiong sat down, and the lobby fell silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Since Duan Da came up with a plan to kill people with a knife and wanted to drive Li Fengyun out of the fortress to fight, it is enough to show that the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center towards the alliance is very clear, either completely annihilated, or surrendered unconditionally, and neither alliance can accept it, and finally in order to avoid worsening the situation in the northern Xinjiang, avoid damaging the interests of Middle Earth, and avoid losing the Civil War, the alliance also has only one choice, avoid the enemy's edge, fight out of the fortress, survive in the dead, survive first, and do everything possible to preserve its strength first. Of course, the Holy Lord and the Central Pivot don't want to see a lose-lose situation, so they authorized Duan Da to negotiate secretly, and I will give you a glimmer of life, but whether you can seize that glimmer of life depends entirely on your own efforts. Therefore, as long as the alliance does its best to fight for it, it is still possible to give the king of Qi the opportunity to go north, and the king of Qi goes north and gives support to the alliance so that the alliance can survive.

Finally, Li Fengyun broke the silence. He estimated that everyone had thought about it almost and weighed the pros and cons almost as well, and had basically accepted the "sudden change" of the operation out of the fortress, so he "struck while the iron was hot" and uncovered the mystery to reveal the true purpose of the military discussion.

"So-and-so also has good news for everyone." Li Dao, "As far as I know, the attitude of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee has been loosened on the matter of the King of Qi going north to the border, but considering the special status of the King of Qi, the impact of going north to the border is too great, which is harmful to the current tense north-south relations, so although the Holy Lord and the Central Center do not support it, they do not openly oppose it, this is where the hope lies." ”

Han Shige was unceremonious, and immediately asked, "Where did this news come from?" ”

"Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) was ordered to travel west to solve the crisis in western Xinjiang, and a few days ago he passed through the Juma River."

Li Fengyun answered the question, but everyone could understand the meaning behind this sentence. In fact, everyone has some speculation about Li Fengyun's true identity and the powerful forces behind it, but Li Fengyun is very secretive and never reveals it, until today, today is the first time that Li Fengyun has revealed his important secrets very obscurely in public.

Then Li Fengyun gave a detailed account of the change in Pei Shiju's diplomatic strategy from the position of "main peace" to "main battle", as well as the latest decisions made by the Holy Lord and the central center due to this change, as well as the causes and consequences, pros and cons of Pei Shiju's strategy of entering and exiting the east to recover Anzhou.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the core of the alliance was immediately shaken by this carefully planned plan. It is also a battle out of the fortress, but Duan Da's goal is only to attack the Turks, kill Li Fengyun and contain the king of Qi, which will inevitably intensify the contradictions between the north and the south, and further deteriorate the relationship between the north and the south. And more importantly, it can reverse the disadvantage of Middle-earth in the entire Northern Frontier in one fell swoop, and greatly increase the chances of Middle-earth winning the Civil War, so it is not difficult to imagine the huge profits of Middle-earth. In addition, it can also promote the development of the three forces of King Qi, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun, in order to win the Civil War in the future, once the Holy Lord and the center recognize and accept these three forces, and turn them into a powerful force to suppress the northern Xinjiang, then the two sides will also have the basis of "turning hostility into jade silk", and then everything is possible.

The atmosphere in the lobby was warm again, and everyone's emotions were also very excited, and the discussion was full of uproar, but soon, the excitement disappeared, and the emotions quickly cooled. The mind is calm, the people are also sensible, and then carefully study the strategy of going in and out of the east to recover Anzhou, and now it is simply a "cake" to draw bread to satisfy hunger, which is useless and self-deceptive. In fact, this strategy is not much different from Duan Da's murder plan by borrowing a knife, the only difference is that its "picture" is very beautiful, very gorgeous, and at first glance it has a sense of "amazing", while Duan Da's murder plan by borrowing a knife is just black and white, and it can be seen through at a glance.

Otherwise, the conflict between the north and the south would not have become a nightmare for the dynasties of Middle-earth, let alone the "main artery" throughout the history of Middle-earth. There is a vivid example in front of us, the First Crusade ended in a disastrous defeat, and the Second Crusade did not cross the Yalu River for a long time, leaving aside all kinds of constraints in all aspects, complex and complex, one of the most important constraints was the lack of food and grass. Without food and grass, who would dare to go out and fight? Without a continuous supply of grain and grass, who would dare to fight outside the fortress for a long time? Grain and grass are restricted, the strength is restricted, and the combat effectiveness is restricted, and the Middle Earth has few war horses, few knights, and is not good at horse army fighting, it is originally the strength of attacking the enemy with its own shortcomings, and it is very disadvantageous.

As far as the current strength of the alliance is concerned, even if there is the support of the King of Qi going north, even if Duan Da gives a certain amount of grain and grass weapons with the tacit consent of the Holy Lord and the center, the battle out of the fortress is still defeated, and taking a step back, even if a miracle is created and the Turks are defeated, it is a lose-lose situation, and it is unknown whether the alliance can safely withdraw to the Great Wall in the end, and whether it can survive, let alone travel more than a thousand miles to recover Anzhou, which is simply a fantasy.

The discussion in the lobby became quieter and quieter, until it disappeared, and then there was silence, everyone was cold, all of them were dull, and the silence was so frightening that it made people panic and frighten.

In the interests of the great interests of Middle-earth, Middle-earth must win the Civil War, and at present, the western and northern Xinjiang are in crisis at the same time, the political situation in the two capitals is also in crisis, Middle-earth is worried about internal and external troubles, and the whole "general environment" is very bad, in this unfavorable situation, if the Civil War starts in the next two or three years, the chances of victory in Middle-earth are very small, but the Holy Lord and the center cannot afford to lose, and the centralized reform cannot afford to lose, so we must do everything possible to reverse the crisis in the shortest possible time.

As long as the "background" remains unchanged, the future fate of the alliance is difficult to change, so the alliance must also find ways to change the situation in northern Xinjiang in the shortest possible time, for which Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong have no choice, but for the alliance commanders, is there any other choice?
