Chapter 185 Breaking the Balance

This result made Li Fengyun very happy and a little surprised. Although the support of Han Jinluo and others did not mean surrender to him, it was enough to show that several heroic coaches were still aware of the general situation at critical moments, taking the overall situation into consideration, and not putting personal interests above the overall interests of the alliance. This is a good sign. If the alliance is always in a group, this Western Expedition to the Central Plains may be able to achieve the expected goals.

After the decision was made, it was immediately discussed to form an elite main force. Li Fengyun set an example and took out three main groups from the Cangtou Army. Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong, Shuai Rentai, Xu Shiren, Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan took out a total of seven regiments. These ten regiments were directly affiliated with the Grand General Administration Office, and were personally commanded by Li Fengyun. All regiments were equipped with heavy troops and weapons to maintain the combat effectiveness of the alliance.

"This army is the absolute main force of the alliance. Whether the Western Expedition to the Central Plains can be successful and whether the alliance can grow smoothly depends entirely on the strong combat effectiveness of this army." Li Fengyun looked at the people in the tent and said solemnly, "So, a general who can conquer and fight well will lead this army."

Everyone was surprised. Everyone, including Yuan An and Xiao Yi, thought that Li Fengyun's purpose of forming this joint army was to weaken and erode friendly forces step by step. He never thought that Li Fengyun would hand over this truly alliance army to others to command. Could it be that Li Fengyun is really a noble and broad-minded person? This is impossible. Li Fengyun must have his purpose, but what is this purpose? Should he use this as a means to win the trust and support of the rich and handsome men, and to gather the combat power of the alliance to the greatest extent in order to overcome the crisis smoothly, or should he use this as bait to swallow the entire alliance?

"Shishou Zhen is a soldier from the government. He joined the battlefield at the age of a teenager and fought fiercely with the Northern Barbarians on the border. His achievements were brilliant. If he had not broken one leg, he would have been the commander of the government now." Li Fengyun said calmly under the surprise eyes of everyone, "I recommended Shishou Zhen as the commander of the alliance's forward selection army. The ten main groups of the alliance will be led by Shishou Zhen. What do you think of brothers?"

Zhen Baoche was stunned. He was questioning Li Fengyun's decision just now and voted against it in the vote. It should be Li Fengyun's "thorn in his eyes". Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Fengyun as the commander of the main force of the alliance. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is Li Fengyun's rudeness, placing people based on merit, or has ulterior motives, and has other plans?

Zhen Baoche was nervous, and the others were also puzzled, all speculating on Li Fengyun’s true intention.

Li Fengyun saw through everyone's thoughts, and a trace of contempt flashed through his eyes, "I said, if we want to overcome the current crisis, if we want to grow rapidly, we must unite and unite, and we must gather the strongest strength. All we do is for the alliance, and the interests of the alliance are paramount. If we trust you, you must also trust me. If everyone suspects each other and everyone puts personal interests above the interests of the alliance, it will inevitably fail. Now I ask again, do you brothers agree to Zhen Shuai as the general manager and lead the alliance's front-selling army?"

The rich coaches have independent positions in the alliance and each have their own troops. Whether they serve as chief supervisor or deputy chief supervisor, there is no essential difference. Zhen Baoche was the deputy chief supervisor of the Southern Army, and was nominally controlled by Meng Haigong, the general manager of the Southern Army, but in fact he has complete military power, and Meng Haigong could not command him at all. Now Zhen Baoche is the commander of the Selected Front Army and is directly affiliated with the General Manager Office. So Li Fengyun naturally wants to grant Zhen Baoche the position of chief supervisor. No one has any objection to this. The objection is whether Zhen Baoche has the power to command the battlefield in addition to the command of the Selected Front Army?

Everyone handed over their elite main force to the alliance, which was actually giving the command of these troops to Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun was outstanding in strategy and kept his promise so far and did not do anything to betray him. Although the heroes and coaches were very cautious about him, they also admired him very much. This is also an important reason why they were willing to hand over their elite main force to their command.

However, the situation has changed now. Li Fengyun recommended Zhen Baoche as the commander of the Selected Front Army, and the commander of the First Army must have the command of the battlefield during wartime. That is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Fengyun will give the command of this army to Zhen Baoche, which is a big problem. Regardless of Zhen Baoche's strategy, whether he can fight well, just because of his control over this army, his strength is second only to Li Fengyun in the alliance.

Li Fengyun's family was originally the dominant one in the league, and the other six heroes joined forces to compete with him. Today, Li Fengyun is holding the banner of "the interests of the alliance first" and wants to give Zhen Baoche strong strength, which will inevitably break the power balance in the alliance. Of course, the heroes and heroes do not want to see this situation, but if they want to stop this situation, they must prevent Zhen Baoche from becoming the commander of the Selected Front Army. This will obviously offend Zhen Baoche, intensify internal conflicts, or destroy the power balance within the alliance.

Looking at Li Fengyun's calm face and long white hair, the handsome men couldn't help but want to curse. At this moment, in their eyes, Li Fengyun was a monster, a monster who opened his bloody mouth and was about to devour them at all times.

When handing over the selection army to Li Fengyun, everyone was unwilling to accept it, and they were worried that he would take the opportunity to annex the enemy and his strength would become greater. When handing over the selection army to Zhen Baoche, it would be equivalent to making Zhen Baoche a sudden emergence, and everyone was even more reluctant. As for Zhen Baoche himself, it was even more uncomfortable. This was purely Li Fengyun's revenge. He turned himself into the target of public criticism, and he would bake it on the fire. Even if he didn't die, he would peel off the skin. As a result, everyone was entangled and the tent was silent.

"Someone agrees." Han Jinluo was the first to express his opinion.

Both he and Zhen Baoche were from Jibei and raised the flag to rebel. They were both the leader of the Jibei Rebel Army. They had deep brotherhood and had close interests. Zhen Baoche was strong and had only good and no harm to Han Jinluo. There is no doubt about this. Once Zhen Baoche became the commander of the Selected Front Army and charged on the front line of the battlefield, it would be difficult to take into account his old subordinates, but he could not give up the opportunity to grow and grow. In this way, he could only turn to Han Jinluo to help his subordinates follow Han Jinluo and develop together under the Jibei Army's large banner.

Han Jinluo's statement was equivalent to the strong support of Li Fengyun's decision by the Jibei Rebel Army, and the balance of power within the alliance was immediately broken.

Zhen Baoche's face looked very ugly. From a personal perspective, he was unwilling to be roasted by Li Fengyun on the fire, but from the overall interests of the Jibei Army, his sacrifice could bring huge benefits to the Jibei Rebel Army. He could understand Han Jinluo's statement, but it was difficult to accept emotionally. Brother, are you helping me or harming me? This statement made me forced into a corner and there was no room for maneuver.

"I agreed to the recommendation of the chief executive, and Zhen Shuai is the best candidate to lead the selection of the front army." Xu Shiren also expressed his opinion.

The Rencheng hero Xu Shiren is the weakest in the alliance. If Li Fengyun had not supported him, he would have no say in the alliance. However, Xu Shiren's greatest wish was not to be a thief, but to return to the ranks of nobles, which required Duan Wencao's help. Now he is the "bridge" between Duan Wencao and the Rebel Alliance. His task is to help Duan Wencao stabilize the situation in Lu County and even southwestern Shandong. For this reason, he must support the Western Expedition without hesitation. Therefore, he supports Li Fengyun and supports all the decisions made by Li Fengyun, but he cannot do anything too much. The interests of the heroes must be taken into account. Once he becomes the target of public criticism and is excluded by the heroes, his mission will not be completed. Therefore, Xu Shiren is very cautious and does not express his opinions easily.

The strategy Li Fengyun took out today was related to the fate of the Western Expedition. Xu Shiren must support it, but he did not dare to be the first to be the first. Han Jinluo took the lead in making his statement, and Xu Shiren hurriedly followed closely, adding icing on the cake.

"I agree, too." Meng Haigong also expressed his opinion.

Meng Haigong had no choice. Since the balance of power within the alliance had been broken, Li Fengyun took the initiative completely. Even if he and Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan joined forces to oppose it, they were still a minority and could not change the situation. It would be better to go with the flow and add fuel to Zhen Baoche.

Zhen Baoche's combat experience is far superior to other heroes. His previous record was mediocre, mainly because he had no elite soldiers and generals. Now Li Fengyun has given him the opportunity to show his talent. How could he give up? It can be foreseeable that the conflict between the two will soon break out due to the battle for command of the battlefield. By then, Li Fengyun will shoot himself in the foot and see how he ends up.

At this point, it doesn't matter whether Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan express their opinions or not. They cannot change the overall situation. The power balance within the alliance has been broken. Even if everyone has figured out Li Fengyun's true intentions, it is impossible for each other to work together to fight against Li Fengyun because of their different interests. What is the result of the confrontation? It's just that both jade and stones are burned and they die together.

The next step is to discuss the affiliation of the army.

All the heroes have a group of new recruits with outstanding quality and great potential. They are mixed with elite soldiers, leading the new with the old, and training with war, and soon they can cultivate a new elite army. The rebel army will encounter strong enemies next, and the battle will be very fierce, so Li Fengyun hopes that the heroes will hand over the command of these troops to the General Administration Office and use them as a unified army reserve.

Of course, the rich and handsome men were unwilling to do so. This was equivalent to handing over all the troops they could out of their hands to Li Fengyun. What should they do? Wouldn't they let Li Fengyun slaughter?

Li Fengyun had sufficient reasons. There were only ten regiments of the Selected Front Army. These two thousand elite troops could not deal with the powerful garrison troops in the capital. If the rebel army wanted to develop and grow rapidly, expanding the army was only one aspect. There was no use in many people. The number of elite soldiers and generals was the foundation for development and growth. Therefore, the army must be pulled to the battlefield, and the soldiers could only grow rapidly in bloody killings.

After a fierce debate, seven reserve troops were finally established, and Li Fengyun and six commanders each recommended a capable subordinate to command one. The command of the reserve troops was usually assigned to the commanders, and in wartime, the command of the commanders was led by the General Administration.
