"I just said that I am afraid that we have a god-like opponent." Li Fengyun frowned slightly and said, "If our opponents can see through the truth and reality, how much chance do you think we have to win?"

"There is no chance of winning?" Han Xiangguo asked uneasily.

"What you want to know is nothing more than if we fail, will we still have a way out?"

The Korean Prime Minister was embarrassed and speechless. Of course, he had to think about a way out. If he was defeated and he was in vain in the end, it would be a disaster for the death of the clan, so of course he had to think about a way out.

"My retreat is King Qi." Li Fengyun finally revealed some secrets, "Although Yang Xuangan was willing to lure King Qi into the Eastern Capital, he did not cooperate, and more importantly, no one could control King Qi. Even the person who King Qi trusted the most was not sure to directly affect King Qi's decision."

"The King of Qi really won't go to Beijing?" Han Prime Minister asked.

"The King of Qi grew up in a captive state, and his wildness was gone. He was very gentle and gentle | Even if there was a little wolf nature left in his blood, it was not enough to give him the courage and confidence to fight each other." Li Fengyun looked contemptuous and said disdainful. "Although both the wolf raised in captives and the wolf raised in stock are very greedy, the wolf raised in captives has a thief heart but no courage. After all, he dared not walk out of the fence and took that crucial step."

When the Prime Minister Han heard this, he immediately believed in the incisive analysis made by Li Mi before. Li Fengyun's background was indeed extraordinary. If his and King Qi's goals were dominant based on the northern border, then the King Qi's future would be very good in the future. However, compared with Guanlong's geographical advantages, the people of Guanlong unified the entire Middle Land based on this advantage. If Yang Xuangan successfully entered Guanzhong, Yang Xuangan's future might be even more brilliant.

"Where is the retreat of Duke Yue?" Han Xiangguo continued to ask.

"Mr. Yue's retreat?" Li Fengyun smiled, "Didn't you see it?"

The Prime Minister Han put his posture to the end and asked for advice.

"Honghua left behind Yuan Hongsi."

Yuan Hongsi? Han Prime Minister was surprised. Didn’t it mean that Yuan Hongsi had been dismissed by the Holy Lord? It is said that the Wei Wei Shaoqing and the Duke of Tang Li Yuan were ordered to replace Yuan Hongsi as the one who stayed behind in Honghua. They were traveling from Huaiyuan, an important town in Liaodong, to Honghua day and night. Yang Xuangan had to launch a mutiny in advance because he lost Yuan Hongsi’s strong response in the northwest direction.

From the expression of the Korean Prime Minister, Li Fengyun could guess what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but show disdain again. However, considering that the Korean Prime Minister's attitude was already very low, it would be a bit unkind to embarrass others. So he continued, "Some things look simple, but when you think about it carefully, they are not simple at all."

"When Yuan Hongsi was appointed as the remaining guard of Honghua, the Holy Lord intended to plunge a nail into the Northwest Army to weaken the control of the Northwest Army by the local nobles of Guanlong. For this reason, the Holy Lord mainly gave Yuan Hongsi strong support. Therefore, it is obvious that during Yuan Hongsi's military command of the Thirteen counties of Longyou, a group of his own forces must have been cultivated and supported. Regardless of whether this force is large or not, it can at least ensure that Yuan Hongsi has gained a foothold in the Northwest Army and can even plan to launch a mutiny."

"No matter whether Yuan Hongsi had plans to launch a mutiny or was ready to launch a mutiny, just from the fact that he had a close relationship with Yang Xuangan, Li Zixiong and others, after Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong had launched a mutiny, he was implicated and basically sentenced to death, because the local nobles of Guanlong would not let him go. Even if they were framed, they would have to put Yuan Hongsi to death, so as to warn the Holy Lord not to harm the fundamental interests of the local nobles of Guanlong and not try to control the Northwest Army."

"If Yuan Hongsi knew that he would die, no matter whether he was innocent or did betray the Holy Lord, he would not be able to survive. Will he surrender? Will he still surrender his military power? Will he still give up his life to Li Yuan? Although Li Yuan is a member of the Wuchuan clan and a royal relative, Li Yuan finally came from the Li family in Longxi, a northwestern family with a strong roots. In the face of the great interests of the local people in Guanlong, it is conceivable how Li Yuan chose. Li Yuan would never miss such an excellent opportunity. He must find an excuse to kill Yuan Hongsi with a high sound, and even directly confirm the charge of Yuan Hongsi's rebellion, and wiped out Yuan Hongsi and his forces developed in the Northwest Army."

“也就是说,不论圣主和中枢是否掌握了元弘嗣谋反的确切证据,也不论圣主和中枢是否有意诛杀元弘嗣,关陇本土贵族都不会放过元弘嗣,李渊都会想方设法把元弘嗣及其势力从西北军里连根拔除.”

"How does Yuan Hongsi respond? Of course, he has to protect himself, and there is only one way to protect himself, rebellion, mutiny, and survival from death."

“由此推断,现在弘化那边的形势非常紧张,对立双方剑拔弩张,一触即发,这也是西京大军不敢轻易离开关中,进入东都平叛的一个重要原因.元弘嗣之所以隐忍不发,示敌以弱,原因也在如此,他必须等待西京大军离开关中之后才能动手,否则他腹背受敌,必定败亡.”

"As for Li Yuan, even if he arrived at Honghua, he would not dare to use the imperial edict to openly seize Yuan Hongsi's military power, because for those who were about to die like Yuan Hongsi on the verge of an outbreak, he would only seek death. Therefore, Li Yuan must first use the imperial edict to seek support in the Lingshuo Legion, first convince Yuan Hongsi's opponents to support him, persuade Northwest officers to support him, and then lead the army to surround Yuan Hongsi. On the one hand, he seized Yuan Hongsi's military power with his strength and controlled the Northwest Army, and on the other hand, he was confirmed for Yuan Hongsi's crime of rebellion and put him to death."

"Of course, whether Li Yuan can get what he wants depends not only on the support of the Northwest military officers, but also on whether the Wuchuan faction and the Guanlong local nobles can cooperate on this matter. If the Wuchuan faction cannot give the Guanlong local nobles enough commitment, the Wuchuan faction will not want to extend its hands into the Northwest Army, so there must be a fierce game between Xijing and Honghua, which gives Yuan Hongsi time to raise troops to rebel, and also gives Yang Xuangan a way out."

The Prime Minister Han nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Li Fengyun's careful analysis. Although he could not make such an incisive analysis, it does not mean that he could not understand it.

"If Li Yuan succeeds and Yuan Hongsi fails, how can Duke Yue's retreat continue to be eliminated?" Han Xiangguo asked worriedly.

"In addition to Yuan Hongsi, Yang Xuangan also has a backup plan in Guanzhong." Li Fengyun pointed at him and pointed at himself, "There are many heroes like you and me in Guanzhong. Many people are even ready to raise the flag. Everything is ready, and only the east wind is not needed. And the east wind is Yang Xuangan entering the pass, so if nothing unexpected happens, as long as Yang Xuangan does not make mistakes, he will definitely be able to enter Guanzhong."

Han Xiangguo bowed to Li Fengyun and was convinced. This man was so evil that he seemed to know everything. Yang Xuangan was as transparent as he was in front of him, with almost no secrets, but this was by no means talent. Li Fengyun must have his confidential source of information, and the source was the unfathomable background behind him. Han Xiangguo remembered the advice of the Han family's elders and couldn't help but become increasingly confused about his whereabouts. Where did he go after the storm end?

"How will we attack tomorrow?" asked Han Xiangguo.

"You are on the north bank of Jicuichichi, dragging the main force of the Guards. I tried my best to attack Yuebi, kill the ecliptic channel, threaten the ecliptic bridge, and make a stance to cut off Nanguo and the imperial city to see if I can find a fighter opportunity to capture Nanguo."

The Prime Minister of Korea was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

He likes this kind of thing, both relaxed and safe. If Li Fengyun takes Nan Guo, he can still get the spoils. He has never suffered any losses since he cooperates with Li Fengyun, and this time it is the case.

On June 14th, King Yang Nan of Qi arrived in Jiyang and joined forces with Pengcheng and General Dong Chun of Zuo Xiaogu.

Dong Chun already knew that Li Shanheng had attacked Baima in Puyang, and had clearly told the King of Qi that he would cross the river to attack Li Yang and first establish his unbeaten advantage. Li Shanheng's attitude showed that the King of Qi had other ideas and decisions. In Li Shanheng's view, these ideas and decisions of the King of Qi were wrong and would harm his own interests. So Li Shanheng resolutely entered the front line of the river and refused to enter the Tongji Canal at the risk of breaking with the King of Qi.

Suddenly, internal conflicts broke out and the conflict was very fierce. Once it was not handled well, the result was conceivable. Dong Chun carefully weighed this and decided to continue to implement the established strategy, that is, to establish a tacit understanding with Li Shanheng, coerced King Yang Lam to cross the river and attack Li Yang, tied up King Qi's "hands and feet" and did not give him any chance to enter Dongdu to exacerbate the storm.

The King of Qi stayed in Jiyin for a while. On the one hand, he discussed the current situation with Wei Baoluan, the prefect of Jiyin, to inquire about Xijing's attitude and countermeasures towards the storm from him. On the other hand, he waited for Dong Chun to make a choice about the internal conflict. As a result, the King of Qi was disappointed. Dong Chun did not come to Jiyin to greet him and did not appear in front of him, which showed that Dong Chun stood on Li Shanheng's side and supported Li Shanheng, and Dong Chun also wanted to prevent King of Qi from entering the Dongdu.

The King of Qi was very depressed. Both political allies and both commanders did not support him, which made him completely passive. If he continued to stick to his own opinions and insisted on his own actions, the already unsolid political alliance with him as the core would inevitably break down and even face the danger of collapse. Of course, in terms of overall interests, Li Shanheng and Dong Chun would never abandon the King of Qi, but would never let the King of Qi do whatever he wanted. Once the extraordinary moment comes, they will inevitably join forces to undermine the King of Qi, so as not to be exhausted by the King of Qi. Now at an extraordinary moment, Li Shanheng and Dong Chun would join forces to undermine the King of Qi, but did not tear the face and did not do anything, but left a lot of room for maneuver for the King of Qi.

The King of Qi had no choice but to rush to Jiyang. Regarding the current situation in Dongdu and the latest news obtained from various channels, he discussed the current situation with Dongchun. Then, based on the premise that Yang Xuangan captured Dongdu in the shortest time, he made a detailed deduction on the development of the situation in Dongdu, and told Dongchun in a subtle and tactful way that this storm should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to seize the imperial throne.

Dong Chun sighed secretly and said bluntly, "The king, the east is dead. This is obvious. We cannot selectively ignore this fact in order to seize the benefits we need."

The King of Qi frowned slightly and said, "I have not ignored it."

"If the king did not ignore this fact, then he should know why Yang Xuangan wanted to enter the Eastern Capital, why he had to fall into a desperate situation and put himself in death.

The King of Qi frowned even deeper, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "What's the solution?"

"King, Yang Xuangan's life is not in Dongdu, but in Guanzhong." Dong Chun sighed, "Even if Yang Xuangan captured Dongdu, he would have dug a trap on the death ground, and the target of this trap was actually the king."

The expression of King Qi changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
