Chapter three hundred and eighty third sword unsheathed
In the alliance camp on the banks of Tongji Canal in Liangjun, Li Fengyun was also anxious.
The situation on the front line of Tongji Canal has not developed as he deduced. Judging from the news obtained from various channels, Dongdu has shown no sign of sending troops to Tongji Canal. Why is this? Did Dongdu even watch the Tongji Canal be cut off and indifferent? Or maybe Fan Zigai, the remaining Dongdu, was surrounded by conservative forces and has not been able to break out so far, which has restricted everything and cannot be released from the Shangshutai?
If the Dongdu has been delayed in sending troops and allowing the situation in Tongji Canal to worsen, then the local governments and Yingyang Domes on the front line of Tongji Canal certainly have no motivation to actively suppress the thieves. What's more serious is that due to the lack of pressure from the Dongdu and local governments, the courage of the alliance soldiers will become greater and more violent, and the binding force of Li Fengyun and the Alliance Command will become weaker and weaker on the heroes. Although everyone knows the dangers of cutting off the Tongji Canal and knows the consequences of fishing for exhausting the pond, human nature will be greedy, and the Tongji Canal will eventually be interrupted. The premature interruption of the Tongji Canal will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, and all these reactions are unfavorable to the Alliance and will cause the Alliance to lose control of the situation.
Just at this moment, the alliance chief Chen Rui sent an equally bad news from the rear base camp. After the base camp withdraws from Mengshan, Dong Chun, the remaining guard of Pengcheng, and Li Min, the prefect of Lu County, did not stop chasing him, but commanded his headquarters to cross Sishui, cross Henggongdu, and approach Heshui. In other words, the Lu County official army and the Pengcheng official army have now crossed the border and have entered the Henan territory.
This is a very clear signal. After the Qi King Yang Nan follows the alliance, he quickly enters the Tongji Canal battlefield and compete with the alliance for control of the situation.
This obviously violated the agreement between the two sides. Before Li Fengyun left Qi County, he had an agreement with Wei Fusi that the time when the King of Qi entered the Tongji Canal should be after Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny, which would be conducive to Li Fengyun plundering Tongji Canal for a longer time and create a situation conducive to Yang Xuangan's attack on the Dongdu within a limited time, and then achieve the goal of effectively controlling the political situation of the Dongdu in the direction that it is conducive to his own side. On the contrary, if the King of Qi enters the battlefield of Tongji Canal too early, it will affect the political situation of the Dongdu, thereby increasing a series of undeterminable variables. Wei Fusi agreed confidently, but in the blink of an eye he went back on his word. Although the King of Qi's army was still in Qi County and Li Min, the prefect of Lu County, Pengcheng, and Li Min, both of the King of Qi, were the King of Qi, and they were marked by the King of Qi. They led their troops westward, and there was no essential difference from the King of Qi himself.
"Ming Gong, the King of Qi was still holding his troops, but instructed Dong Chun and Li Min to follow our alliance and quickly enter Tongji Canal in the name of suppressing thieves. This is not good news for Dongdu." Yuan An looked melancholy and his tone was low. "No matter what aspect of the interpretation of this move of the King of Qi could not avoid the threat he posed to Dongdu. Dongdu must actively defend himself in order to prevent problems. However, considering that the King of Qi actually controlled Tongji Canal, Dongdu had very limited means of counterattacking, which may be the reason why Dongdu was reluctant to send troops to support Tongji Canal."
Li Fengyun frowned and said nothing. Yuan An's inference was based on Dongdu's belief that he and the King of Qi had "colluded" and that the Tongjiqu crisis in front of him was actually created by the King of Qi, so Dongdu certainly would not send troops and was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the King of Qi. But the problem is that Dongdu has no evidence, which is just an inference. The basis for inference is not only unconvincing and unable to explain to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, but also has ulterior motives and deliberately provoke the malice of the Holy Lord and the King of Qi's father and son to rebel against each other. Fan Zigai could not bear the blame.
"Ming Gong, King Qi's move can successfully attract the attention of Dongdu, which obviously helps Yang Xuangan raise his troops in Liyang." Xiao Yi said thoughtfully, "If the main purpose of the King of Qi is to promote the outbreak of this mutiny, then his control over the development of the situation in Dongdu may not be detrimental to us."
Li Fengyun pondered and said nothing.
"Ming Gong, the political situation of Dongdu is not isolated. The one that has the greatest impact on it is Xijing. As long as there is a slight disturbance in Xijing, Dongdu will inevitably cause ripples." Xiao Yi explained, "Our influence is limited. When we arrive at Tongji Canal, we will only threaten Dongdu. When the King of Qi arrives at Tongji Canal, he will not be the one who is threatened by Dongdu, but Xijing. Xijing will respond quickly, and this reaction is like a huge rock still on the surface of Dongdu Lake, which will cause shocking waves."
Li Fengyun understood it carefully, and after careful analysis and deduction, he nodded slightly and accepted Xiao Yi's statement, "When the King of Qi comes, we have to leave, otherwise Dongdu will be laughed at."
"Leave?" Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked at Li Fengyun in surprise, not understanding the meaning of "leave".
"The alliance evacuated Tongji Canal?" Yuan An asked hesitantly.
Li Fengyun nodded without hesitation.
"We cannot withdraw for the time being." Xiao Yi said anxiously, "The evacuation is a disaster for the alliance now. The gains from our abducting are far from enough. We cannot support the main force to enter the Dongdu to fight, nor can we support the large army to cross the river and go north. Unless Yang Xuangan hand over Li Yang Cang to us, this is absolutely impossible. If Yang Xuangan did not have Li Yang Cang, what would he use to control the alliance and let the alliance use it for him?"
Li Fengyun shook his hand and sighed, "The alliance team is too large and there are too many people. It is far from enough to plunder the Tongji Canal. It is purely a drink to quench thirst. Once the rich and powerful men cut off the Tongji Canal in a hurry, it will be over, but the reality is far worse than we expected. The time for the Korean Prime Minister to raise the flag is very good. It is the Tongji Canal in danger and everyone is frightened. The rich people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are extremely pessimistic about the future and will inevitably take risks. It is estimated that there will be many responders. The Korean Prime Minister will soon form a huge team, and this team will also plunder the Tongji Canal, and in a hurry, it will also cut off the Tongji Canal. Therefore, the situation in the future is very likely to be out of control. Once the alliance army and the rebel soldiers of the Korean Prime Minister fight to compete for the limited supplies on the Tongji Canal, the result can be imagined."
Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Indeed, because Dongdu has been delaying sending troops, it has not put a huge pressure on the Tongji Canal and has not caused a life-and-death crisis to the Rebel Army, so the heroes of the alliance have become unscrupulous. Because Han Xiangguo and his respondents do not need the protection of the alliance, they naturally have to grab the materials from the Tongji Canal with the alliance, otherwise what will they do to grow? How can they form combat power in the shortest time?
"Ming Gong, under the current situation, all the heroes and coaches are showing off their skills in Tongji Canal, and they are full of money and are full of fun. At this moment, you suddenly ask them to retreat. Can they withdraw? Unless the army of Dongdu comes and is in danger of life, they would rather face you than spit out the fat meat in their mouths."
Yuan An had to remind Li Fengyun that the alliance after Heng Gongdu reorganized the army was completely different from the previous alliance. In fact, it was a mess. The Hebei heroes had another purpose in joining the alliance, but they were unwilling to do so. In this situation, they were expected to obey Li Fengyun's will, which was purely a fool.
Li Fengyun sneered without saying a word.
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Ming, what are your plans?"
Li Fengyun's fingers spread on the table, "Please cooperate with Gong Meng Hai and eat Li Min north of the Bian River first."
Li Minzheng, the prefect of Lu County, led his army to chase after the alliance base camp. Although the army left by Dong Chun in Pengcheng followed Li Min, if Meng Haigong, who was staying on the Heshui line, actively cooperated and he would restrain the Pengcheng official army, the alliance would indeed have the chance to eat Li Min in one bite.
Eating Li Min can not only warn the King of Qi who is trying to control the situation in Tongji Canal, prevent him from entering the battlefield of Tongji Canal too early, so as to prevent the political situation of Dongdu from developing in a direction that is unfavorable to his side, but also disrupt Dongdu's judgment of the situation in Tongji Canal and force Dongdu to send troops to suppress the rebellion when the situation in Tongji Canal is getting worse. In addition, this move can also attract the attention of Dongdu and help Yang Xuangan raise troops in Li Yang. When Yang Xuangan sees the King of Qi "defeated" in Li Fengyun's hands, he will inevitably realize Li Fengyun's toughness and fierceness. At that moment, when the alliance army takes the initiative to evacuate Tongji Canal and cross the river to the north, threaten him by not participating in mutiny, or even threaten him by actively attacking Li Yang, he has to make a choice, either turn against Li Fengyun into a grudge, or use food to exchange for Li Fengyun's support.
Yuan An and Xiao Yi immediately speculated about Li Fengyun's intention and secretly applauded.
"Ming Gong, what if the Korean Prime Minister had a feud with us or even fought against us during this period?" Xiao Yi asked, "As the situation was chaotic, even if we wiped out Li Min, we might not be able to achieve the predetermined goal."
Li Fengyun sneered and waved his hand, "Order Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming to change the banner immediately, all of which were replaced by the banner of the Prime Minister of Han, burn, kill, loot and robbery in Yuzhou, and start a massacre."
Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked at each other, and they both saw the gloating smile in each other's eyes.
Li Fengyun's move was too poisonous and publicly framed the blame. In anger, the Ying Ru nobles would inevitably record this blood feud on the Korean Prime Minister. If the Korean Prime Minister wanted to grow and grow after the rebellion, it would not be enough to rely solely on plundering Tongjiqu. He also needed the full support of the Ying Ru nobles. However, if Li Fengyun deliberately framed the blame, the Korean Prime Minister would be in trouble. Proving his innocence takes time, and what the Korean Prime Minister lacks is time, so the Korean Prime Minister had no choice but to ask for help from Li Fengyun and could only join the alliance. Otherwise, even if Li Fengyun did not "eat" him, he would not be able to hold on, let alone respond to Yang Xuangan's mutiny and charge for Yang Xuangan.
But Li Fengyun's move is not only to deal with the Korean Prime Minister and to eat the Korean Prime Minister, but also has a more important purpose, which is to hide the main force of the alliance and hide it under the banner of the Korean Prime Minister, and prepare for escaping the "revenge" of the Saint Lord in the future.
According to Li Fengyun's plan, the alliance's large forces would evacuate the Tongji Canal before the mutiny broke out and enter the river front line to receive Yang Xuangan's food support. After the mutiny broke out, the government troops in the capital and surrounding areas would fight against Yang Xuangan and were no longer able to encircle and suppress the alliance. In this way, the alliance could cross the river calmly, capture Li Yangcang, and then quickly go north. During this period, the main force of the alliance always fought under the banner of the Korean Prime Minister. Those who do not know the truth would not expect that Li Fengyun was on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital. When the truth was revealed, Li Fengyun had already gone north to Taihang. Even if the Holy Lord wanted to take revenge, it would be as difficult as ascend to heaven.
