Chapter 1024: Threat

On April 30th, King Qi and Li Zixiong led his army to the domestic city.

Li Zixiong received a quick letter from Li Fengyun that the selection army had captured Longlin, crossed the Yunshui River, and killed the Dading River along the southeast foot of the Yangtze River, and left the Sashui line. He was about to fight fiercely with the main army of Goguryeo. The infantry army must follow up immediately, and there must not be any delay, so as not to delay major events.

Li Zixiong led six infantry corps, of which Han Shiyan had already taken Hu Ben, Fengyun and Leopard Cavalry to cross the river eastward first, and it was only three or four days away from Li Fengyun and the Selected Front Army, so Li Zixiong was not in a hurry. What he was most anxious about was what to do with King Qi? Should he follow the large army to cross the river eastward and go deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo at great risk, or stay in the domestic city and wait and see the changes, and strive to get the best benefits in the safest situation?

Although King Qi and Li Fengyun did not rebel, Anton was actually no longer able to form an alliance with King Qi and use it for King Qi to charge for King Qi. Today, there are many internal factions in Anton. Even if Li Fengyun is strong, he still cannot cover the sky with one hand. He can only compromise and compromise on the basis of seeking common interests. In this difficult situation, King Qi stabbed Li Fengyun unceremoniously for his own selfish interests, and put Anton in a dilemma. How could Li Fengyun lose his teeth and blood? Of course, he had to fight back. As for how to fight back, Li Zixiong had no way to guess, but one thing was certain that without any trust between the two sides, cooperation was purely self-deception. In this way, the King of Qi went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo to fight, which not only brought unpredictable dangers to himself, but also brought unpredictable harm to Anton's army. Once the internal collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Li Zixiong's attitude was very clear. King Qi could stop and temporarily rest in the domestic city. While observing the situation on the front line and waiting for an opportunity to move, he was waiting for the arrival of Li Hun and Anton's subsequent army. Such advance and retreat were of no worries, and it would be beneficial to both sides and safe to ensure that it was safe.

Li Zixiong took the initiative to find Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, hoping to persuade the King of Qi through these two people. Now, because of different interests, his position has changed and he no longer firmly supports King of Qi. Therefore, his relationship with King of Qi took a sharp turn for the worse. Therefore, if he personally came forward to persuade King of Qi, it might be counterproductive.

Li Zixiong was straightforward and said it very bluntly that the main force of the Anton Army had no possibility of hiding after entering the hinterland of Goguryeo. He would inevitably fight in blood. The Goguryeo people were also at the end of their journey and would fight back to the death. Therefore, every battle was very difficult and even tragic. If the King of Qi came to the front line in this crisis, he would inevitably suffer danger. Once a personal accident occurred or even sacrificed his life for his country, the only remaining prince died in the battlefield, the consequences would be serious. Not only would everyone not be able to save his head, but even our family would be destroyed.

Wei Fusi knew Li Zixiong's intention as soon as he heard this, and immediately asked, "Is this the request of Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) or the suggestion of Bai Hair?"

"This is someone's suggestion." Li Zixiong said solemnly, "Please ask Duke Dangyang and Duke Wencheng to start from the overall situation and weigh carefully. Don't lose the big picture because of the small, and cause trouble for yourself."

Wei Fusi nodded, "It is indeed the best way to stay in the domestic city." Then he looked bitter and sighed helplessly, "But the problem is that King Qi is now eager to prove himself to the Holy Lord, and is eager to use the martial arts of opening the border to protect himself. He even hopes to use this to impress the Holy Lord and open the door to enter the East Palace for him again." Wei Fusi spread his hands to Li Zixiong and smiled bitterly, "He has never had the courage to face reality, and always has unrealistic fantasies about the Holy Lord, and he can do nothing."

Li Zixiong frowned and turned his eyes to Li Shanheng who was sitting on the side with a gloomy expression, "What do you think of Wencheng Gong?"

"After this, the king has no way to turn around. If he loses, he has nothing to do. Only by capturing Pyongyang and destroying Goguryeo and winning the third Eastern Expedition can he break out of the desperate situation." Li Shanheng was determined and flatly rejected Li Zixiong's proposal. "The king will never stop at the domestic city, and a certain and 20,000 soldiers will not stay on the west bank of Yalu Water to watch."

Li Zixiong sighed secretly. Since he could not convince Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, it was impossible for him to dissuade the King of Qi, so he had to compromise and had to settle for the second best.

"For the front line, the battlefield command must be highly concentrated, and there can only be one supreme commander and one supreme decision-maker." Li Zixiong said seriously, "If the Anton Army wants to achieve the predetermined goal and win the victory of this Eastern Expedition, it must absolutely obey Deputy Major Protector Li and absolutely obey the orders of Deputy Major Protector Li."

Command is the most troublesome, the most difficult, and the most difficult to solve, and it is also the most likely problem to cause internal strife. On the Andong Army, the King of Qi has the greatest status and power. Although the Holy Lord and the Commander of the Eastern Expedition have not been made public, it clearly instructed the King of Qi to be the Supreme Commander here, but it is reasonable and law. When the King of Qi arrives on the front line, he is of course the Supreme Commander, the Supreme Decision Maker. Whenever he stops, the Andong Army must obey. Even if he wants to disobey it, it is a secret matter behind the scenes. If he publicly opposes the King of Qi and fights against the King of Qi, it is very likely to arouse public anger and become the target of public criticism.

This is what the commanders of Anton and others such as Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan are worried about, but the situation that King Qi, Li Hun, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and other ulterior motives are willing to see. They are waiting for this moment, and they are coercing Li Fengyun and the generals of Anton with victory or defeat, forcing them to bow their heads and accept the reality that they were forcibly dragged onto the pirate ship by the King of Qi.

This was an open conspiracy, which made Li Fengyun and Andong's army helpless. The Holy Lord and the Eastern Expedition Command were both "silent" because they made pessimistic judgments against the King of Qi and made a pessimistic judgment. This was equivalent to helping the King of Qi in disguise, causing the internal conflicts of Andong to deteriorate rapidly with the rapid development of the war situation.

Li Zixiong could no longer bear it, so he had to publicly clarify the fundamental conflict between the two sides.

The King of Qi traveled thousands of miles to meet with the Anton Army, just for the supreme command. In the end, no matter whether the King of Qi could actually seize the highest command of the Anton Army, his respectful status and facts were a great deterrent to the Anton Army. This would not only damage Li Fengyun's personal authority, undermine the internal unity of the Anton Army, but also seriously endanger the security of the Anton Army and have an immeasurable bad impact on the Anton Army's Eastern Expedition.

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of complacent glances in their eyes. No matter how rebellious you are, as long as you are within the scope of Middle Earth, you will not be able to escape the constraints of Middle Earth etiquette and law, and you have to bow your head at a critical moment.

"You're thinking too much." Wei Fusi smiled and said, "Of course, Anton Jun must obey the orders of Deputy Protector Li."

"But..." Li Shanheng "strike back" calmly, "The King of Qi is the ambassador of Liaodong and assumes the responsibility of supervising the Eastern Expedition Army. The Andong Army is part of the Eastern Expedition Army. It is naturally subject to supervision by the King of Qi. In other words, any major decision of the Andong Army must be informed of the King of Qi and solicited the opinions of the King of Qi."

Li Zixiong made the contradiction clear, and Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng also made it clear. The King of Qi must go to the front line, and the King of Qi must also participate in and supervise all decisions of the Andong army. This battle is of great importance, not only directly related to the survival of Andong, but also directly related to the survival of King of Qi. Therefore, only by putting aside past grudges and working sincerely can we win and each achieve what we need.

Li Zixiong laughed, angrily.

Now Li Zixiong's personal interests are firmly tied to Anton's overall interests. Anton's bottom line is Li Zixiong's bottom line. Li Zixiong wants to win the victory of the Eastern Expedition and save the lives of the soldiers. The political interests of King Qi, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and others put the political interests first, and ignore the lives of Andong's soldiers for political interests and ignore the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition. This touched Anton's bottom line and crossed Li Zixiong's bottom line. Li Zixiong was angry.

"Anton fulfilled his promise and gave the King of Qi enough benefits." Li Zixiong said, "Anton did not fulfill his promise. He even betrayed his faith at the critical moment and stabbed Anton in the back. Now he is even more aggressive. For his unrealistic fantasy, he actually has to pay the price of Anton's survival."

Li Zixiong looked at the complacent Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng and asked word by word, "Did you ever think about the consequences of angering Anton?"

It doesn't matter that the King of Qi is unwilling to fulfill his promise, but he cannot betray the Feihu Left Legion. If Li Fengyun had not been prepared and reserved a backup plan, he would have been cut bloodied by the King of Qi. Now the King of Qi is even worse, chasing Anton to "kill" the problem will be serious. After all, Li Fengyun is not a good person. Back then, he dared to directly be enemies with the Yuwen brothers and provoke the Yulin storm, not to mention that he dominates the side now, and there is Pei Shiju's public support behind it. His strength is so strong that even Yuwen Shu is afraid of three points, let alone the King of Qi who is "beaten around".

Wei Fusi laughed and mocked, "So what if you anger Anton? Does white hair dare to openly fight against the King of Qi and publicly slap the Holy Lord in the face?"

Li Zixiong laughed, looked at Wei Fusi, and then looked at Li Shanheng, with a hint of pity in his eyes, "You are dead in the battlefield, which is an unbearable loss for King Qi, but for the Holy Lord, he is happy to see it."

Li Zixiong's public threat made Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng suddenly change their color and become furious.

On April 30th, Yalu River in the west bank, Bobbing the city.

Cui Hongsheng was overjoyed. The things he was most worried and afraid of were the haze that had always been shrouded in his heart since he went to war. Suddenly, it was swept away.

The twelve Lady sent a secret letter. Li Fengyun brought 30,000 enemy control strings as the selection. He was invincible. He had crossed the Yunshui a few days ago and was sailing down the southeastern foot of the Jiangnan Mountains, heading straight to the Dading River and the Sashui line, killing Goguryeo's hinterland. However, his whereabouts have been leaked. Pyongyang will react soon. The Goguryeo people will be bound to fight to the death. The next battle will be very fierce.

The whereabouts were leaked and the war was fierce, all of which were expected by Cui Hongsheng. Such a large-scale long-distance raid into the enemy's territory could not be silently able to reach the city of Pyongyang. The Anton Army would be exposed sooner or later, but the later the exposure, the slower the enemy's reaction, and the more beneficial the Anton Army's attack on Pyongyang will be.

Luo Yi also wrote to inform him that he had obtained the news that the Anton Army had crossed the Yunshui River on the way, so he decided to cross the river and advance eastward as long as he contacted the Anton Army.

In this way, the two groups of attacks against Pyongyang had been established, and the army of the Eastern Expedition of the Weifu was equipped with the conditions to force the Yalu River.

Cui Hongsheng immediately rushed to Wugu City and reported the good news to Guo Rong, the General of the Right Guard, who was besieging the city, and Xue Shixiong, the General of the Left Guard.
