"For Dongdu, we are chess pieces, and they are tools for political games." Li Fengyun said frankly, "We are not strong enough. In this big game of chess, we are only worthy of being a chess piece, but making chess pieces does not mean being slaughtered. If we can seize the opportunity, we can still dominate the fate of the chess players."

"I told you as early as the city of Kangfu that as soon as we seize the opportunity in the Western Expedition to the Central Plains, we will definitely grow and grow. As long as we grow and have the strength, even if the Guard Army returns victoriously from the Eastern Expedition battlefield, we still have the power to fight, and we can still survive tenaciously. As long as the survival problem is solved, we will have the foundation to control our own destiny. With this solid foundation, we will have the opportunity to grow into chess players in the Middle Earth chess."

Li Fengyun waved his arm vigorously and was full of courage. "Faith is very important. You must not only have confidence in yourself, but also have confidence in the soldiers under the account. You must also have confidence in the way of heaven. Who said that God will not favor us? Who said that we will do our best to save the people and cannot move God?"

Everyone in the tent looked at each other speechlessly. Although Li Fengyun's words were full of incitement, Dongdu was like an invincible beast, which made the rebel alliance involuntarily create a sense of inferiority and helplessness that was shaking the trees. This helplessness was like a thick layer of haze, covering the hearts of the heroes and hitting the confidence of the heroes.

"Master General, can you tell us the truth, do you have confidence in the Western Expedition? What are your predictions about the situation of attacking Jingjin? Can the alliance maintain its current strong development momentum with the help of the Western Expedition?"

Zhen Baoche doesn't like to listen to empty talk. Li Fengyun's incitement is all false and has no substance, so he is not polite and points directly at the critical point. Don't open your mouth and fool people. If you want people to build confidence, you must come up with real things. If you say it right, your authority is getting bigger and bigger. If you say it wrong, you just slapped yourself in the face. It is secondary to the loss of prestige. What is important is that we see through your face and will not be fooled by you again in the future.

"I have confidence in the Western Expedition." Li Fengyun said calmly, "This confidence comes from the complexity of the political situation in the Dongdu. As I said just now, all the contradictions and conflicts in the Dongdu political situation actually come from reform. The most prominent contradiction arising from reforms is also the most intense conflict between the reforms and conservatives at present, which is the imperial throne. Less than two years after the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Yuande died, and his heir was naturally the second son of King Qi, Yang Nan. But strangely, six years have passed, and King Qi, Yang Nan, not only failed to enter the Eastern Palace and became the crown prince of Zhongtu, but instead suffered a tragic blow due to the "depreciation of virtue last year, and was getting farther and farther away from the position of the prince. Why is this?"

"Because of reform?" Zhen Baoche blurted out, with mocking.

Li Fengyun nodded slightly, "During the late emperor, the dispute over the imperial rule was very fierce. The reason why the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed and the last victory of the current emperor was because the crown prince's rule of mind was contrary to the late emperor, but now the top was determined to reform. His political philosophy was not only in line with the late emperor, but also even better."

"Ming Gong means that King Yang Nan of Qi does not support reform?" Xu Shiren asked in surprise.

"From the perspective of the royal family, centralization will certainly help the continuation of the country's destiny and the stability of the great cause of unification. The politics of aristocratic families lag behind the times and can no longer adapt to the needs of unified Middle-earth politics. It will inevitably be eliminated. Therefore, reform is necessary. The difference lies in the idea of ​​reform, whether it is moderate or radical, whether it is boiling a frog in warm water or cutting the mess with a quick knife."

Li Fengyun was very patient and tirelessly analyzed and explained the political situation between China and Turkey to the Haoshangs. His intention was very obvious. He hoped that the Haoshangs could quickly improve their political literacy, understand the decisions of the Western Expedition to the Central Plains from a political perspective, and interpret the nature of ongoing domestic and foreign wars, so as to clear away the political fog and find the direction for his own progress.

"According to the statement of the Grand Chief, aren't the five wealthy families in Shandong, big and small, all of the families of China and Earth, all opponents of the reform?" Huo Xiaohan heard a little famous and asked immediately.

"You are right." Li Fengyun nodded in praise, "Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the politics of aristocratic families has been popular, and in contrast, Middle-earth has experienced nearly four hundred years of war and division. Now Middle-earth has finally sent away darkness and ushered in light. Once again, it is necessary to need a new political system that is suitable for it. How can aristocratic families, which have been popular for more than four hundred years, give up their vested interests, easily withdraw from Middle-earth's political arena, and be willing to turn into dust in history?"

"If the aristocratic politics is a master of great Taoism with a lifespan of more than 400 years, then the centralized system is a young warrior with a sharp edge. The two sides fought at the peak of the great cause of Sino-Turkey unification, and they never stopped." Li Fengyun sighed with emotion when he said this, "Although the strength of the two sides is a bit disparate, the difference is not too large, so the result of not stopping by death is that both sides suffer losses and even the jade is burned.

"I have always believed that we are in a great era of changing circumstances, a dark era of wars everywhere, in such an era, all established rules will be ruthlessly destroyed, and there is only one law of survival left in the world, that is, the prey of the weak."

"So, we need to develop and grow. Only when we develop and grow can we survive in troubled times." Li Fengyun's eyes stopped on Zhen Baoche's face, "So, not only has confidence in the Western Expedition, but also in the future great cause of kings and dominance."

"A prediction of the situation in the capital is that King Yang Nan of Qi must take action, and the political forces headed by King Yang Nan of Qi must use us to make a big fuss, and the next big game of comeback will push King Yang Nan of Qi to the crown prince again. However, whether King Yang Nan of Qi can ascend to the crown prince is not whether he is loyal to the emperor, but whether his political philosophy is consistent with the emperor. However, the political forces with King Yang Nan of Qi must have their interests, and this interest appeal will inevitably affect or even determine the political philosophy of King Yang of Qi."

"It is obvious that the political philosophy of King Yang Nan of Qi is inconsistent with the emperor, otherwise he would have been the crown prince of Zhongtu. Since the emperor had no intention of handing over the position of King Yang Nan of Qi, then the powerful and loyal to the emperor would definitely prevent him from entering the Eastern Palace. At the same time, the political opponents of King Yang Nan of Qi will continue to attack him. In this way, the development of the war situation in the capital will be very clear. Although we are not opponents of King Yang Nan of Qi in terms of strength, the key to the problem is that there are too many political forces to use this opportunity to attack King Yang Nan of Qi. Many people want to give him a fatal blow and completely cut off his way to the Eastern Palace. Some even want to kill him and completely drive him out of the dispute over the imperial rule."

Everyone in the tent had different expressions, some were pondering, some were very excited, and some were skeptical. Is there such a bargain in the world that can be taken?

"The Chief Executive said it well." Zhen Baoche still looked sarcastic, "But the Chief Executive said it better, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. It's incredible. Will the East allow us to cut off the Tongji Canal waterway, threaten the capital, and endanger the Eastern Expedition?"

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "You are right. Even Dong will not let us scoundrel Henan, plunder the waterways, and threaten the capital. Therefore, the King of Qi Yang Nan will take action to suppress the rebellion. When we face a strong enemy, we must use all our strength to fight in blood, otherwise we will fail. A certain analysis and judgment of the battle situation in the capital is based on our concerted efforts to fight bravely, rather than sitting here waiting for the enemy to surrender, waiting for the enemy to surrender, and handing over the spoils."

There was a loud laugh in the tent. Zhen Baoche's face was slightly red and his expression was a little embarrassed. After all, Li Fengyun still needed him to charge in the front, and needed all kinds of heroes and coaches to unite and fight the enemy at all costs. As Li Fengyun deduced the situation in the capital, the uneasy minds of the heroes and coaches had obviously changed. They saw hope for victory. Since there was hope, why not fight bravely?

Zhen Baoche saw that most of the heroes agreed with Li Fengyun's deduction of the future situation, and it was difficult for him to do too much. It would be a foolish thing to always target Li Fengyun. After all, he is the commander of the alliance's forward selection army and directly obeys Li Fengyun. From the alliance's standpoint, the interests of both sides are consistent, and they prosper and lose. If they really lose the battle on the battlefield, the consequences will be serious.

"Since the chief executive has a hundred times more confidence, I'm at ease." Zhen Baoche asked, bowing, "Master Executive, when will he head to Xingyang after the formation of the front-selected army be completed?"

"Soldiers are very fast." Li Fengyun waved his hand and said, "After the formation of the front-selected army is completed, Zhen Shuai immediately led the army to set off and kill Tongjiqu directly."

Tongji Canal is the first goal of this western expedition. Now there are hundreds of thousands of hungry victims waiting for relief behind the alliance. What's more, soon, disaster victims in surrounding areas will flock to it. In fact, plundering Tongji Canal canal can no longer meet the needs of the alliance army and Henan disaster victims. How to resolve this crisis has become the most troublesome thing for Li Fengyun and Haoshuai.

Li Fengyun walked to the map and pointed to the Tongji Canal on the map, drawing a circle between Yongqiu, Chenliu, an important town in the north of Liangjun, and Junyi, an important town in the south of Xingyang.

"The main battlefield of our Western Expedition is here. Whether we can grow and grow in the shortest time depends on whether we can open up the situation here."

"Ming Gong, this is the place of four wars, and the battle will be very fierce. Once the war breaks out, the victims who are following us will inevitably be affected. The life and death of the victims directly affect the morale of the army." Yuan An frowned and said worriedly, "Ming Gong, the war is indeed to be fought, but the life and death of the victims is more important."

Li Fengyun nodded and raised his hand to point at Tongji Canal on the map again.

"This is a natural obstacle, which cuts off the road to survival for the victims." Li Fengyun looked at everyone, suddenly smiled slightly, and drew a circle between Yongqiu, Chenliu and Junyi on the map again. "This is a road to survival for the victims."
