Chapter 107: Retreat as advance

On April 11, Li Fengyun led his army across Huifachuan, and more than 20,000 horse soldiers launched a fierce attack on the east bank of the Marineri team.

Although Huiba's troops were prepared for the battle, they were prepared for the battle, but facing the overwhelming "torrents" that were whistling overwhelmingly, they had no resistance to the frontal battle. They collapsed at once and fled in scattered.

The Thunder, Dragon Cavalry, Changba and Xi tribe left army, which belonged to the alliance, followed and chased, surrounded and blocked, and launched a bloody massacre of Huiba tribe.

This is a completely one-sided battle situation. The strength of the two sides is too great. What's more serious is that the Sumo and Mohist tribes made different positions and each made their own profits and fought each other, which led to the Huiba tribe's desperate situation of fighting alone after encountering a strong enemy. The defeat was only a matter of time.

The faster the Huiba tribe was defeated, the clearer the Sumo and Mohe tribes could see the situation, the quicker the positions of the chiefs of the tribes could be unified, and the faster they surrendered to Central Earth.

On April 12, Tieli, the strongest man of Sumo, the chief of Sumo tribe, traveled east to the east with the guidance and accompanying Dahe Duro, and rushed to the camp of Anton Expeditionary Army in Central China and urgently visited the deputy captain of Anton.

Tieli is in his forties, medium-sized figure, strong and honest, with sharp eyes. When he saw Li Fengyun, he was very confident, neither humble nor arrogant, and had no cowardice, fear, or flattery.

Tieli can't speak Chinese dialect, but he knows some Khitan language, and Daha Duluo can also understand the words of the Maru people, so Daha Duluo not only has to mediate in the center, but also has to undertake the translation task.

Tieli didn't know that there was Li Pingyuan in Middle Earth, but he knew that there was a thief-super White Wolf in Songmo. Now these two people who are different are combined into one. Even though Tieli learned some inside information from Dahe Duluo in advance, he was still surprised after witnessing it. He was amazed at the unpredictable magic of strange people in Middle Earth.

Li Fengyun agreed with and accepted the suggestions of Dahe Duluo and Yelu Tielli, and also gave them enough respect for the labor achievements of their lobbying for Sumo and Mohist tribes. However, Sumo and Mohist was a strange force that should not be underestimated for him. Although the franchise and cooperation of this force can certainly increase one's own strength and increase the chance of winning the capture of Pyongyang, the serious consequences contained in it may cause made Li Fengyun very worried, so from the perspective of protecting one's own side, Li Fengyun's choice is very firm.

Li Fengyun asked directly, "What can the Marines give to Middle-earth?"

Although the Marines and Goguryeo have been fighting for the former land of Fuyu for more than a hundred years, since the Sumo tribe's Mengdu and Tudiji brothers were defeated by the Goguryeo King Gao Tang, Sumo Moeo surrendered to Goguryeo, helped Goguryeo dominate the Far East, frequently invaded Middle Earth, and formed hatred with Middle Earth. Now, Middle Earth attacked Goguryeo for three consecutive years, and Goguryeo is about to be destroyed, and Sumo Moe is also facing a catastrophe. In this unfavorable situation, the Marines betrayed Goguryeo and turned to Middle Earth to save themselves. This idea is good, but if you want to realize it, if you want to win Middle Earth's consent, you must pay enough price, otherwise you will have to bear the anger and killing of Middle Earth to repay the evil of robbing Middle Earth in the past.

"The Marines are willing to do their best to help Middle-earth conquer Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, and become Middle-earth vassals for generations, and be loyal to Middle-earth for generations."

Li Fengyun asked directly, and Tieli replied very simply, but this was not the answer Li Fengyun needed.

Li Fengyun looked at Tieli quietly, then glanced at Dahe Duluo who was sitting next to him, pondered for a moment, and asked again, "How can the Marines help Zhongtu capture Pyongyang?"

Tieli hesitated and said nothing.

Li Fengyun's words are secretly mysterious. If Tie Li is not prepared and makes a promise with his chest, he will follow his words and be willing to be driven by the commandment. On the contrary, if he is cautious and tempted by the serene, he will appear to be in a vain and tempted by the snake in every way, he will appear to be in a vain and have ulterior motives and will be hated by Middle Earth.

A little later, Tieli's eyes showed a firm look and said firmly, "If Middle Earth meets the wishes of the Marines, the Marines will definitely take the lead and fight in blood."

Li Fengyun smiled and questioned without hesitation, "Did you see the situation clearly? My 20,000 horse army is sweeping across Huifachuan, and my 100,000 main army is ready to go in Fuyu City hundreds of miles away. You only have two choices now, either surrender, bow down to Sumoshui, and watch the fire from the other side of the river. There is no third choice at all, and it is even more impossible to make a fortune and bargain with me."

Tieli was calm and uneasy. Not only was he not frightened by Li Fengyun's aggressive aura, but instead responded to a "backhand strike" without hesitation. "Does the general remember the Sashui War? Have the general experienced the Sashui War personally?"

Li Fengyun's face suddenly turned cold and his eyes were cold.

Dahe Duluo complained secretly. He didn't expect that Tieli was so bold. As soon as the negotiations began, he spread salt on the wounds of Middle Earth, directly threatening Li Fengyun and angering Li Fengyun. How can I talk about this next step?

Dahe Duluo winked at Tieli, but Tieli looked at Li Fengyun with a bright look without hiding his provocation.

"You want to tell me, do you think I am not sure about conquering Pyongyang?" Li Fengyun sneered.

"What I want to tell the general is that in the past ten years, Middle-earth has attacked Goguryeo several times, but every time they return, they have no victory. The fundamental reason is that the conquest is too long, the attack time is very limited, and the supply of food and supplies is very difficult, which leads to the attack time being shorter." Tieli looked at Li Fengyun and said sincerely, "This time the general attacked Pyongyang, took the road to Huifachuan, and was unintentional to the enemy, and was unprepared for the attack. It seems to have an advantage, but the disadvantages of insufficient supply of food and supplies are also particularly prominent. Therefore, the general attacked Pyongyang to take a risk. If he cannot go down in one go and win in one battle, he will inevitably fall into the danger of empty food and supplies, and he can only retreat quickly. In this way, it is very likely that he will repeat the mistake of Sashui's defeat."

"I just need to sweep the Huifachuan and slaughter the tribes of the Huifas on both sides of the Huifashui River, and I can temporarily resolve the food and grass crisis." Li Fengyun sneered coldly.

"Indeed, the general swept across Huifachuan and slaughtered our troops, which could temporarily resolve the food and grass crisis. However, in this way, the general's whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be difficult to achieve the goal of attacking the enemy unintentionally. After Pyongyang received the news, as long as the troops guard the domestic city and strengthen the northern defense line of Yalushui, the general would have to stop at Huifachuan and would be difficult to advance."

Tieli's steady defense and never retreated, leaving Li Fengyun's pressing step by step in no way.

In the first encounter, we tested each other, and both sides gained something. Li Fengyun looked at Tieli, who was full of confidence, pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to give in, "If the Marines are willing to help Zhongtu conquer Pyongyang, Zhongtu will certainly meet the Marines' conditions, but the question is, what do you use to make me believe the Marines' promise?"

Tieli was confident and immediately asked, "If the general fails to capture Pyongyang and you Middle-earth people return again, then all the promises between you and me are meaningless. On the contrary, if the general captures Pyongyang and captures Pyongyang with the help of our Marines, can the general guarantee that he fulfills his promise to me Marines?"

Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "I am the Deputy Protector of Anton and the commander of the Anton Expeditionary Force. I have to obey the Holy Lord and the Eastern Expedition Command, so my authority is very limited. The promise I can give you is that if my Anton Expeditionary Force conquered Pyongyang alone with the help of your martyr, then as long as I promise to fulfill the promises within my purview, and I can do nothing beyond my purview."

Tie Li nodded repeatedly and agreed with what Li Fengyun said. He had learned some of the relevant secrets from Dahe Duro before, and knew that Li Fengyun's purpose of attacking Pyongyang by Huifachuan was to loot Goguryeo's wealth, so the Khitans came out in full swing, and how could they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

"I believe in the general's promise." Tieli said, "and within the general's authority, we should be able to present our territorial requests from Goguryeo to the Middle Earth emperor."

Territory requirements? Li Fengyun's face suddenly became gloomy. Tie Li was so bold that he dared to seize food from the tiger's mouth. He wanted to divide a cup of territory soup from the fruits of victory in Middle Earth, and he didn't know how to live or die.

Li Fengyun laughed in anger, "Are you sure there are territorial requirements?"

"I want the former land of Fuyu." Tieli said, "In order to compete for this place, our Marines and Goguryeo fought for more than a hundred years, and paid an astonishing price, but ultimately lost to Goguryeo. It was a great humiliation. Now that Goguryeo is about to perish, our Marines are full of their nests. The main goal is not Pyongyang, but this Marines are in the old land of Fuyu."

The implication is that the man of the Marines was going to rob him by fire, but he fought with Goguryeo in the middle of the earth. When the snipe and clam were fighting, he took action to capture the former land of Fuyu, but the man's plan was not as good as the heaven's plan. However, Anton suddenly changed drasticly, and the Middle-earth people cooperated with the Donghu to attack Goguryeo, but they even went to Fuyu and Huifachuan to advance eastward, completely destroying the wishful thinking of our man of the Marines.

"The former land of Fuyu has been captured by Middle Earth, and now it is the territory of Middle Earth." Li Fengyun nodded slightly to express his understanding, "So I can tell you with certainty that no matter whether Middle Earth can conquer Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo this time, you will never be able to get the former land of Fuyu."

Tieli was unmoved and said solemnly, "I just need to submit the request of my Martyr to the Middle Earth Emperor within the scope of my authority."

Li Fengyun shook his hand decisively and vetoed, "The territory cannot be negotiated."

Tieli was not entangled, and settled for the second best, and immediately proposed to increase the share of the Marines in the distribution of spoils.

Li Fengyun admired Tieli a little. This barbarian was too smart. He obviously had no support in his hands, but the lion spoke loudly, seemingly making trouble, but in fact he used all means to seek the best interests of the Marx people.

"We reward you on merit." Li Fengyun refused to give in. "If you make great contributions in the battle to capture Pyongyang, then you will naturally win a generous reward when rewarding you on merit. So what if you reward half of Pyongyang City to you?"

"This is true?"

"A word is made, it is hard to catch up. However, if you want me to fulfill your promise, you must come up with a clever plan to attack the city and capture Pyongyang." Li Fengyun smiled, "Where will the plan come out?"
