Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiyu came to visit together, and Li Fengyun met outside the gate and they were very happy.

It was less than a year since the four men broke out of the White Horse Prison, but things had changed. The white-haired Li Fengyun rose in Mangdang, traversing Qi and Lu, and today he even entered the Central Plains. Those who blocked were invincible and famous all over the world. Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin became a gangster. Although they gathered in Wagang, they were weak and had little reputation. Xu Shiyu was still the young master of the Lihu Xu family. He wandered between the black and white as a tycoon in Henan. However, compared with before the prison, he was deeply trapped in many conflicts of interests today. Although this accelerated his growth rate, he devoted himself and exhausted.

This time Zhai Rang took the initiative to visit Li Fengyun. Shan Xiongxin also wanted to get together with Li Fengyun once, but Xu Shiyi did not agree. In his opinion, the two sides had too many differences and there was no possibility of concession between them. Since that is the case, why meet each other? If you don’t meet, communicate, or conflict, you can maintain your old friendship. This friendship can still play a role at the critical moment. On the contrary, it will be beneficial to both sides to tear the face, cut off the robe and break the righteousness, and break the righteousness, and break the righteousness.

Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin insisted on their own opinions. Both of them had a thought for Li Fengyun. Xu Shiyi had no choice but to accompany him. In fact, he had made up his mind. Regardless of whether Zhai Rang and Wagang brothers finally accepted his strategy to retreat to the front line of the river, he would return to Lihu as quickly as possible. Taking advantage of the violent shock of Li Fengyun's attack on the capital and Henan, he spared no effort to expand the power of the Xu family in order to protect the interests of the Xu family to the greatest extent.

Li Fengyun held a banquet to entertain them and introduced them to Han Jinluo and other heroes, as well as Yuan An and Xiao Yi and other aides. Among them, Meng Haigong, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyu knew each other, especially Shan Xiongxin and the same county heroes, with similar temperaments and a good relationship.

Xu Shiyu was cautious in his words and actions, and spent most of his time listening intently and was very low-key.

Shan Xiongxin was generous and generous, drank a large bowl of wine and ate meat with big pieces. He was having a lot of fun with Meng Haigong, Huo Xiaohan and others. The atmosphere in the tent was very hot.

Zhai Rang was calm and had a decent manner. He had a great conversation with Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai, Xu Shiren and others, but behind his bright smile was an unspeakable bitterness.

Li Fengyun obviously did not welcome their arrival. Although he did impeccable etiquette, such a grand reception clearly revealed the strangeness between the two sides. If both sides were very close, Li Fengyun would definitely have a private banquet, and then everyone would say their intimate words together. But now Li Fengyun does not give them a chance to talk privately at all. This actually means directly cutting off the thoughts of Zhai Rang and others. I will not compromise with you. Either you raise the flag to rebel, live and die with me, and share honor and disgrace, or you hide aside and do not interfere with each other. Of course, you can also choose to be enemies with me, but you have to consider the consequences clearly.

On the contrary, Han Jinluo and other Haoshangs were very happy. Li Fengyun's move showed that he would not have private contact with Henan people without telling them. He always puts the interests of the alliance first, which is obviously conducive to the unity within the alliance.

After drinking, the blood is rising, Shan Xiongxin's courage is getting bigger and his ideas are simple. Since you, Li Fengyun, deliberately alienated us and did not give us a chance to speak, then we will speak at the banquet and speak publicly in front of you all.

With the alcohol, Shan Xiongxin first lamented the suffering caused by the natural disaster to Henan people, and then praised the rich and powerful men to open warehouses and release grain to save the people. Then he changed his subject and began to question, you did not have the ability to save countless Henan victims. The fact in front of him was that you held innocent victims and threatened Dongdu, which led to Dong not only not reaching out to rescue Henan victims, but instead launching a massacre in the name of suppressing the rebellion. Therefore, I have to ask, what is the real purpose of you taking advantage of the Henan disasters that have been unbearable? What do you want to get from Henan?

"Who said that Dongcheng City will provide disaster relief?" Huo Xiaohan asked immediately, "Last year, the river flooded, and countless victims from Henan, Hebei and Qilu. Have you ever seen the government's disaster relief? Have you ever seen Dongcheng City's disaster relief? This year, the severe drought, and summer grain has been out of stock in many places. Two consecutive major disasters have dealt a heavy blow to the north and south of the Great Henan, but do you see that there are government relief? So far, there are signs of disaster relief?"

"Shan Erlang, I don't know why you have fantasies about Dongdu." Zhen Baoche sneered, "If Henan people are like you, they are not just hungry all over the world? I guess in winter, this place will be thousands of miles away and deserted."

Shan Xiongxin glared at his eyes and was about to refute, but Zhen Baoche raised his hand to stop him and continued, "The emperor is in Liaodong. The Eastern Expedition is underway. The Expedition Force is advancing towards Pyongyang. You can imagine how much food and supplies are needed on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition? The two sides of the river have always been rich and are also the main supply area for the Eastern Expedition Force. However, last year's flood and drought this year have been out of stock for two consecutive years, which has led to sudden tension in the national treasury. In this case, the Eastern Expedition Force ensures the Eastern Expedition, ensures the lives of millions of soldiers on the Eastern Expedition battlefield, ensures that the emperor builds great martial arts, or use limited food to provide disaster relief, and ignores the great cause of the Eastern Expedition Force and the millions of soldiers? I would like to ask you again, is the emperor's martial arts important, the lives of millions of soldiers of the Expedition Force important, or is the civilians on both sides of the river important?

"The national treasury is tight?" Zhai Rang couldn't help but talk, "In the capital, there are Luokou Cang, Huiluo Cang, Heyang Cang, Guangtong Cang, Changping Cang, and outside the capital, there are Liyang Cang and Jiangdu Cang, all of which store more than one million stones of grain. Although the north and north of the Great Henan and the north of the South have been affected for two consecutive years, how can it shake the foundation of the country? Besides, the east expedition is nominally devoted to the national strength, but in fact it is the power of our Shandong, the power of the Great Henan and the north of the South. Today, the Yiqian raised high all comes from the north of the Great Henan, which is enough to prove this."

"Zhai Fasi said it well." Han Jinluo immediately applauded, "In theory, the eastern expedition should be to devote all the national strength, but why did it be to give all the strength of my Shandong? This comes from the hatred of the people of Guanlong for the people of Shandong. Since the unification of Middle-earth, the people of Guanlong have used all their strength to curb and attack our Shandong. This time, the people of Guanlong used the name of the Eastern expedition to kill us Shandong. Imagine that in this case, the East will rescue Henan people and take action to provide disaster relief?"

"As Zhai Fasi said, there are national warehouses everywhere in the capital, and there are also Liyang Dacang outside the capital." Shuai Rentai looked at Zhai Rang and sneered, "Liyang Cang is on the bank of the river, just in the disaster area. With the reserve of millions of stones of Liyang Cang, it is easy to provide disaster relief. But I would like to ask Zhai Fasi, when the Henan victims were hungry and hungry, did Dongdu open the Liyang Cang? Did the emperor have ordered the warehouse to release grain?"

Zhai Rang argued with reason, "I admit that the people of Guanlong hate our Shandong people. The reason why the Dongdu has been slow to provide disaster relief is directly related to this hatred, but has no direct relationship with the Eastern Expedition. In fact, the Eastern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition are not contradictory. Only disaster relief can stabilize the situation in the north and south of the Great Henan and the North and south of the Great Henan and the stability can ensure the stability of the domestic situation and the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, as General Manager Zhen said, precisely because of the important martial arts of the emperor, millions of soldiers of the Expedition Army were

Life is important, and Dongdu will definitely provide disaster relief. But the situation in Dongdu is far more complicated than we imagined. Dongdu did not provide disaster relief last year and this spring did not provide disaster relief. This summer, it does not mean that Dongdu will not provide disaster relief this summer. However, your arrival, your burning, killing, looting and looting in Henan quickly pushed the situation in Henan into the abyss of collapse. The chaos in Henan not only threatened the security of the capital and Dongdu, but also seriously affected the cause of the Eastern Expedition, and also cut off the possibility of Dongdu's disaster relief in Henan."

Zhai Rang's words actually represent the true thoughts of local forces in Henan, and the hatred of the Henan people for crossing the border and looting, while the Qi people extremely despised the conservative and cowardly of the Henan people.

Today, the only people from Hebei to rebel, are the people from Qilu, and Qilu are the most heroes. Rebels have been one after another, and they are publicly posing as a change of the world. The reason why Han Jinlu and other heroes chose to support Li Fengyun's strategy of expeditioning the Central Plains in the west was, on the one hand, the innate contradiction between Shandong and Guanlong people, and on the other hand, it was from this mentality of "competing for hegemony". In Hedong and Hexi for thirty years, the emperor took turns to do it. Who dares to say that the Middle Earth in heaven is not my world?

Zhai Rang told the truth, which also aroused the anger of the Qi people. Han Jinluo and others were furious. Everyone hated the enemy and attacked the Henan people together. Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyi wanted to be a peacemaker, and the other wanted to be a low-key person, but they didn't want to make the conflict public. However, they inevitably got involved in this debate. The atmosphere at the banquet turned sharply, and the two sides were tense, and there was a tendency to draw their swords toward each other.

Li Fengyun sat aside and watched the fun, the clouds were calm, but he was happy.

He was very disappointed with Zhai Rang and lost his respect for the Wagang people. From this he saw a brief reason why the Wagang people suddenly failed while once had an absolute advantage in the Central Plains battle for hegemony.

Today, when I arrived in the Central Plains, I would become the overlord of the Central Plains, and I would occupy the position that originally belonged to Zhai Rang. I would do what you Zhai Rang dare not think or do.

"Are Henan people all cowards? What's so scary if their heads fall?" Zhen Baoche slapped the table and roared angrily, "What's scary is not death, but losing the heroic integrity of Shandong people and the blood of Shandong people."

Zhai Rang sneered, "Whether you say is a coward or not, the Zheng family in Xingyang has the final say."

The Zheng family of Xingyang seemed to have infinite power, and it shocked everyone in an instant. The chaotic banquet suddenly became quiet.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is one of the five major families in Shandong, the leader of the Henan aristocratic group, and the boss of the local forces in Henan. Its interests are closely related to the local interests of Henan. How can such a wealthy family allow the situation in Henan to reach the abyss of collapse? How can they watch their interests suffer a fatal blow?

What does Zhai Rang mean? Is he here today entrusted by the Zheng clan of Xingyang? Or, on behalf of the Zheng clan of Xingyang, threatened the rebel alliance?
