Li Fengyun is very frank, and this frankness undoubtedly increases the trust between the two sides. Although Li Fengyun is talking about the deduction of the future of Zhongtu and the future plans formulated based on this deduction, which are essentially some illusory things, the cooperation between the two sides is based on expectations of the future. As long as each other can expect profit, there is a possibility of cooperation.
However, Li Baiyao and his son did not agree with Li Fengyun's pessimistic expectations for the future of Zhongtu. They believed that although Li Fengyun's deduction was reasonable and well-founded, it was mixed with too many personal factors, which made this pessimistic expectations significantly conducive to the future development and growth of the rebel army. However, Li Baiyao and his son had no intention of expressing their opinions on this matter. The future was unpredictable. Everyone's predictions for the future were different because of their different locations and environments. Even if Li Fengyun's predictions for the future were pessimistic, the information contained in it was very rich, which just helped the father and son understand and understand him.
"In this way, did the general catch the big fish of King Qi with the battle between the north and the south?" Li Anqi asked in a pun.
"There is no conclusion yet, who is the fisherman." Li Fengyun shook his hand and said, "In a certain opinion, whoever can laugh at the end of the success or defeat is the fisherman."
"In the general's opinion, how likely is the King of Qi's chance of victory?" Li Anqi asked, "Will the Holy Lord give him the opportunity to develop outside the country? If the Holy Lord does not give him this opportunity, can the King of Qi stick to the end?"
"The strategy for development outside is actually a double-edged sword." Li Fengyun smiled, "The Holy Lord locked the King of Qi in a cage. It seemed that he had mastered the initiative, but in fact he was extremely passive. In the long run, the Holy Lord's room for maneuvering in the imperial throne became smaller and smaller; on the contrary, letting the King of Qi escape from the cage seemed that the King of Qi had mastered the initiative, but in fact, the Holy Lord was the Holy Lord who mastered the initiative. The King of Qi pursued the imperial throne, and the only one who could give the King of Qi the Emperor's imperial throne was the one who could flexibly use the double-edged sword of Qi as long as he made good use of the imperial throne. If it was used well, the King of Qi helped the Lord complete the great unification reform, and the imperial throne was the item in the King of Qi. On the contrary, if the King of Qi deliberately hindered the Lord from promoting the great unification reform, the Holy Lord would definitely completely destroy it in the shortest time."
Li Baiyao and his son both heard it. Li Fengyun was not optimistic about the King of Qi. He was simply using the King of Qi to strive for opportunities for development and growth. But the key to the problem was not what Li Fengyun thought, but the King of Qi had the determination to seize the imperial throne to the death. This was enough for Li Fengyun to have the opportunity to seek a slut with the tiger. The imperial throne was equivalent to a noose for the King of Qi. Now the noose was placed around the King of Qi's neck. If he wanted to survive, he had to cut off the noose and win the imperial throne. This was his life. Li Fengyun had an immeasurable value for him to seize the imperial throne. For this reason, even if he knew that Li Fengyun had plotted against him, he could only endure it. Who told him that he was not strong enough?
"Since the general's opinion, even if the Civil War broke out, even if the King of Qi built great achievements in the Battle of North and South, he still could not win the imperial throne." Li Anqi tentatively said, "Is there any mistake in my understanding?"
Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "Today, the great unification and reform of China and Earth is an irreversible historical trend. Those who follow the trend will prosper, and those who go against the current will perish. For the sake of the imperial rule, the King of Qi may have planned to change his course and follow the trend, but unfortunately, those who support him will never allow him to change his course, otherwise the King of Qi would not even be able to save his life, let alone seize the imperial rule."
Li Baiyao and his son deeply agree with each other. Reform must have a price, and the aristocratic class in Middle-earth, especially wealthy families, were the cost-bearers of the unified reform. Therefore, this is a life-and-death struggle and there is no possibility of compromise. Therefore, in terms of the prediction of whether the Qi King can win the imperial unification through conventional means, Li Baiyao and his son and Li Fengyun's views coincide.
If the King of Qi wants to win the imperial rule, he can only rely on miracles. Apart from this, he can only rely on miracles. Miracles are very slim hope. However, it is better to have hope than to have no hope. Whether it is the King of Qi or the local forces in Guanlong who support the King of Qi, they are now working hard to win a glimmer of hope and are all relying on miracles to happen.
"If the general's prediction is correct, and the Holy Lord has to make a series of compromises and concessions in the Dongdu in order to launch the second Eastern Expedition, then the King of Qi will be able to continue to stay in the battlefield of suppressing the rebellion. Of course, the premise is that he refuses the summons of the Holy Lord and refuses to participate in the Eastern Expedition with the Holy Lord." Li Anqi said thoughtfully, "The contradiction between the King of Qi and the Holy Lord will further deteriorate, and this trend will force the King of Qi to accelerate the development speed. To accelerate the development speed, the place must be stabilized and the suppression of the rebellion must be completed. In this situation, how will the general and the alliance survive and grow? Will they cross the Hebei and go to Hebei?"
"The premise is to suppress the rebellion. If you lose this excuse, how can you live outside?" Li Fengyun smiled, "So, before the war between the north and the south broke out, if the King of Qi wanted to live outside for a long time, he had to support the enemy and respect himself."
Li Baiyao and his son looked at each other and then suddenly realized. This is probably the important reason why Li Fengyun was able to convince the King of Qi and why the King of Qi dared to implement the strategy of being outside. In the view of the King of Qi, the enemy is a enemy, and no matter how he raises it, it cannot become a climate, and he is always a chess piece in his hand. Who knows that Li Fengyun is going to take this opportunity to grow and grow. Once "raising the enemy" becomes "raising the tiger is a disaster", what the King of Qi lost is not the imperial unity, but the Yang family's national reign. However, with the prosperity of the national strength since the unification of Middle-earth, with the stability of the Yang family's national destiny today, with the confidence of the King of Qi, how can he believe that "raising the enemy" will not be a disaster?
"What is the purpose of Mr. Duan, please come here?" Li Fengyun said enough that he could win some trust in the hearts of Li Baiyao and his son, so Li Fengyun finally turned to the topic. Now it should be your turn to reveal some real and useful information to me.
"Emistress Duan is eager to leave Lu County and leave this place of right and wrong." Li Anqi smiled, "Emistress Duan inferred that the general not only had a considerable tacit understanding with Cui, but also established a tacit understanding with King Qi and Wei of Guanzhong. Therefore, southwestern Shandong was full of traps and every step was scary, so he developed a desire to retreat. It happened that the Eastern Expedition failed, and the Holy Lord would continue to attack Goguryeo next year, and Duan was trusted by the Holy Lord, so he decided to take this opportunity to return to the Wei Mansion and follow the Holy Lord to fight in Liaodong."
Li Anqi did not clearly explain the purpose of Duan Wencao sending envoys here, but the words were clearly stated between the lines. Duan Wencao was leaving and was about to leave soon. Before Duan Wencao left, the two sides could cooperate. As long as Li Fengyun ensured that the situation in Lu County would not deteriorate suddenly, as long as Duan Wencao could leave safely, Duan Wencao would give Li Fengyun enough rewards.
Li Fengyun keenly captured the opportunity contained in it. Undoubtedly, if the alliance can seize this opportunity, it will definitely effectively alleviate the food crisis.
"The Holy Lord is about to return to Dongdu, and the southwestern Shandong is about to set off a climax of the suppression of the rebellion. Someone is about to be surrounded by all sides. Although some people may have a tacit understanding, you should be very clear that the value of one lies in the size of strength. If the strength is greater, the greater the value of one, the more tacit understanding the opponent will give. On the contrary, the opponent will open his bloody mouth and swallow a certain mouth without hesitation." Li Fengyun immediately tempted, "Since Duan Jun is about to leave Lu County, he must take care of the interests of the people of Shandong before leaving, especially the survival of ordinary people. For this reason, whether they can maintain restraint between each other, do not fight if they can fight, and try to avoid conflicts that can be avoided."
Li Fengyun said a pun, saying it in a vague way. Li Baiyao seemed to understand something, but Li Anqi was quite confused. After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, "What is the general who needs the most urgently?"
"Food." Li Fengyun also spoke bluntly, "The autumn grain will be harvested soon. As long as Duan Jun gives a certain bit of food, Baolu County will be safe."
This promise is too heavy. This is why Duan Wencao is anxious and uneasy.
This spring, Li Fengyun's western expedition to the Central Plains gave Lu County a time to breathe. In addition, Duan Wencao and Chen Rui and Han Yao who stayed in Mengshan had a tacit understanding with each other, and did not attack each other. One defended the town and the other guarded the countryside, and a harmonious group of people. As a result, the crops in the fields grew happily. The autumn harvest was about to be about to be harvested, but Li Fengyun led tens of thousands of alliance troops back. The strength comparison between the two sides had undergone major changes. The tacit understanding between them no longer exists. It is certain that Li Fengyun wants to grab food. Once he takes action, he will suffer not only the government and local wealthy people, but also ordinary people. These people flee to the town to take refuge. Duan
What should Wen Cao do? He had to send troops to attack Li Fengyun, and the two sides started a war. However, there was King Yang Nan of Qi on the He and Si front lines, and Cui Deben of Pengcheng. In order to protect their own interests and ensure the safety of their "territory", these people naturally cooperated with Li Fengyun and allowed Li Fengyun to "ravage" Lu County. In this way, Duan Wen Cao had no heavy troops inside and no support outside. Even if he barely defended important towns such as Xiaqiu, he could not save the bad situation in Lu County. He would definitely be scolded by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. At that time, he would not even be able to return to the Guard Mansion to follow the Holy Lord in the east to expedition. He would probably not even be able to protect the official hat on his head.
Now Li Fengyun promised Duan Wencao that as long as you and I reach an agreement on the distribution of autumn grain, I will not cause trouble to Lu County, nor will I start a war with you. This condition is not difficult for Duan Wencao, on the contrary, he still makes a profit. If both sides really start a war to grab food, with the current strength of the Lu army, they will definitely not be able to defeat the alliance and cannot grab any food. For Li Fengyun, the food in Lu County is not enough for him to support the army, and he must concentrate his efforts to grab food in a wealthier place. For this reason, he needs a stable rear and needs to reach a tacit understanding with Duan Wencao. If Li Baiyao and his son did not come, Li Fengyun actually planned to send someone to contact Duan Wencao on his own initiative.
