Li Mengchang quickly made a choice. His selection criteria were very simple, and strength determines everything.

Li Fengyun is strong, with many powerful generals under his tent, and 100,000 soldiers. Even if he is half discounted, he still has an army of 50,000. Who can reach such a team of people entering Feihu Xing? There is no opponent at all, and even the Yanbei Town Garage Army is unable to encircle and suppress. After Feihu has gained a foothold, Li Fengyun will inevitably attack from all sides and fight. At that time, even if Li Fengyun is surrounded by the Guard Army, he will not be able to do anything, but he will be more than enough to be a local overlord. In this way, Li Fengyun controlled the "throat path" of smuggling from north to south. Many forces in the north and south could only "low their heads" to Li Fengyun and let him share the benefits of smuggling. Li Mengchang followed up and "water rises higher" and could make huge profits without any effort.

"I really know Yanbei very well." Li Mengchang stabilized his emotions and said, "I know Feihu Xing even more well. Even if I close my eyes, I can cross this Yanbei pass."

Li Meng was too slow to tell the story, and made a detailed explanation of the important role of Feihu Xing in the north-south smuggling, the important relationship between this "golden" passage and the "three points and one line" between Feihu, Lingqiu and Weicheng, and the important impact of this unique area formed by the intersection of Taihang Mountain, Hengshan, Yanshan and Sanggan waters on the situation in northern Yan, northern Xinjiang and even the entire north-south.

The heroes listen quietly, for fear of some omissions.

This place is very strange to the heroes. Let’s not talk about the heroes from Qi and Lu. Even the heroes from Hebei are also ignorant of Yanbei because they all live on the front line of the river. It is even more distant to the people of Jiangzuo. Only Li Zixiong knows a little bit. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, Li Zixiong once ruled Youzhou, quelled the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han, and understood Yanbei. However, the northern border is centered on the Great Wall defense line, such as Feihu Xing, Puyin Xing, Changshan Pass, and other Taihang Passes have greatly reduced their military value since the unification of Zhongtu. The Weifu has no longer paid enough attention to them, and it is inevitable that Li Zixiong will be negligent.

Li Mengchang talked about three key points. This mountainous area centered on Feihu Xing has terrain advantages, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; Feihu Xing is a "golden" channel for smuggling from north to south. Whoever occupys this mountainous area will be stuck with the "throat" of smuggling from north to south and can make huge profits from north to south. The quality of the smuggling environment in the north determines the situation in Yanbei, and the situation in Yanbei directly affects the north! Town garrison, and the town garrison in the north border directly affects the relationship between the north and south. Therefore, as long as the alliance controls this area, it will definitely affect the development of the north and south situation, and even detonates the war between the north and the south.

These three key points fall into the ears of the rich and powerful men, which means that after the alliance occupy this area, it will first be safe and safe, and at least it can be a mountain king; secondly, it is profitable, and it is also a very rich smuggling benefit. You can get rich by plucking your hair by geese and collecting "travel fees". How can you let go of such a good thing? Again, the future prospects are very good, and survival is profitable, and strength will not be lost. Strength is the guarantee of the future. As long as you have strength, the alliance is qualified to participate in the war between the North and the South, and the possibility of dominance based on the northern border.

This is indeed a good place and is indeed conducive to the alliance's foothold in the north. The heroes and coaches' mood has risen greatly.

Liu Heita immediately raised the second question, what powerful forces are there in Yanbei? Do these powerful forces control Feihu Xing? How many garrison forces are there in Lingqiu, Feihu and Weicheng? Are there heavy troops stationed in Changshan Pass and Puyin Xing?

"The biggest force in Yanbei is the border army, which is Yingyang Mansion. Any force that threatens the stability of Yanbei will be swept away by the border army. Therefore, although there are many forces of large and small in Yanbei, their strength is limited, and they are scattered, no one dares to touch the bottom line of the border army. And who knows the bottom line of the border army? The commanders of the border army are frequently changed, and Zhu Yingyang in Yanbei is even more arrogant and domineering, rebellious, and do whatever he wants. They rely on their strong strength, taking both black and white, and taking both north and south. The result can be imagined that Yanbei is the world of the border army."

Li Mengchang's answer was unexpected to everyone, but if you think about it carefully, it would be expected. If the border army let local forces grow, or even let the smuggling gangs in the north and south collude together, how can the border army ensure the safety of Yanbei? How can they ensure that Yanbei smuggling will not lose control and that their own interests will not be lost?

"Yanbei is a place where Han barbarians live together, but there are very few real Han people. Most of them are the Han barbarians who have been transformed into the Han River. These people mainly live on both sides of the Sanggan River, while the Great Wall is in exile and sentenced prisoners. The Han barbarians and merchants and the Northern Barbarians who fled into the pass are the most common. It is not difficult to see from this that the race in the Yanbei region is very complex and in fact it cannot form a large local force. This is why the border army dominates."

"But Yanbei border troops are also a mess. Yanbei has a general of the Guards, a Huben Lang, two Huya Lang, two town generals, and seven Yingyang Mansions, about 8,000 garrison troops. Because the benefits of smuggling in Yanbei are too huge, the border troops are deeply trapped in it and cannot be disturbed, seriously endangering the Yanbei town garrison. For this reason, middle and senior officers are replaced like a lantern. Yingyang Guards also frequently change defense areas, but treating the symptoms but not the root cause, it still does not help combat smuggling, but instead makes Yanbei smuggling more rampant."

"After the Eastern Expedition last year, at least half of the soldiers of the Yanbei Frontier Army went to the Liaodong battlefield. This year, the Yanbei Frontier Army was recruited in part. According to rumors, even the three Yingyang Mansions that guard the Yanbei Great Wall and the two towns outside the Great Wall are seriously insufficient. As for the other four Yingyang Mansions, there are only a few old guards left. There is even a speculation that the Yanbei Frontier Army has only 3,000 people at most, and the Yanbei Great Wall is useless and in danger."

"In order to supplement the garrison forces, the border army urgently recruited a large number of local bravery, and most of these bravery came from local forces of large and small in Yanbei, and even merchants were involved. The reason was that it was to facilitate smuggling. So since the Eastern Expedition began, smuggling in Yanbei has become increasingly rampant, and now it is in a crazy state. Of course, this is temporary. Just wait for the Eastern Expedition to end and the border troops return, and this good day will come to an end."

"It is precisely because of this that smugglers have taken risks in order to seize this rare opportunity to make huge profits faster and more quickly, and have taken risks to take low-value materials on the main roads and passes, and concentrate all valuable materials such as salt and iron into Feihu Xing. So now, whether it is Changshan Pass, Puyin Pass, Lingqiu, Feihu and Weicheng, the area of ​​Feihu and Weicheng, the number of garrison troops is very small, and they are all bribed by smugglers and unobstructed."

"In other words, the alliance is now easy to fight the flying foxes. The key problem is that it is a hornet's nest. Once the alliance opens it, it will directly affect the stability of Yanbei and endanger Yanbei Town and Garage. The situation will be complicated and the situation will be severe. The alliance must be prepared to be surrounded by the Guardian Army on all sides."

When the heroes heard this, they were even more excited. They could easily capture a foothold, make huge profits through Feihu Xing, and take the opportunity to affect the situation in northern Yan and even the relationship between the north and the south. It can be said that they won multiple goals in one fell swoop. Of course, they should be actively implemented and put into the pocket for peace.

Next, the handsome men asked some other questions in a verbal way, and Li Mengchang answered them one by one without hiding them.

Soon, the heroes had all their doubts, had a firm stance and a firm attitude, and began to discuss how to attack northward. Some heroes even volunteered and volunteered.

Li Fengyun took the initiative to seek Li Zixiong's opinions. This was not only a respect for Li Zixiong himself, but also a hint to the heroes of the alliance. It was also a demonstration to Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong and other wealthy families that he had always maintained a sincere attitude of cooperation with King Qi.

Li Zi was ambitious to understand and immediately expressed his support for Li Fengyun's attack strategy and was willing to lead the front-selling army to head north to open the way.

This attitude was very low, beyond Li Fengyun's expectations. Of course, Li Fengyun knew very well that Li Zixiong did this attitude not because he was impressed by his ability, but because Li Zixiong misunderstood that there was a larger force behind him, and he was willing to cooperate with this huge force.

Li Fengyun also consulted Yang Gongdao, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yu Rou and Zheng Yan. Although these six nobles were unwilling to be on par with a large group of vulgar men, they had to bow their heads under the roof. Since they joined the alliance on behalf of the King of Qi, they had to maintain cooperation with Li Fengyun. The respected Li Zixiong is their "role model". It would be impossible to follow Li Zixiong and follow him step by step.

Han Shiye took the lead in expressing his willingness to follow Li Zixiong to fight, and to "clearly stand" to form a unit within the alliance and compete with Li Fengyun.

Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and Yu Rou exchanged glances with each other and immediately formed a tacit understanding. Zhou Zhong immediately expressed his opinion and was willing to follow Li Zixiong, but Li Zixiong was the leader.

The people of Jiangzuo knew very well that Li Fengyun would not trust them, would not give them the army, and would not harm the interests of the alliance's heroes to meet their requirements. Therefore, even though they were different from Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zheng Yan and others, they had to compromise due to the situation and first embraced them with the banner of King Qi.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became solemn. Before the alliance had gained a foothold in the north, two distinct systems were formed inside. This was obviously not a good omen. It was a blow to Li Fengyun's personal authority and would have a certain impact on the psychology of the heroes of the alliance. Once the King of Qi successfully went north to guard the border, Li Zixiong and others defected, a considerable number of the heroes of the alliance would inevitably follow closely. This result was probably not what Li Fengyun was willing to see.

However, Li Fengyun's attitude was unexpected.

"You don't have an army yet." Li Fengyun pointed at Zhou Zhong and Lai Yuan and said, "In the battle of Jindi Pass, we defeated Dong Chun and captured about 4,000 Xuzhou Yingyangwei. Someone transferred all these prisoners to you, and you formed your own army and obeyed the orders of Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong)."

Li Zixiong was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Li Fengyun meaningfully, with a look of admiration and nodded with a smile.

Han Shiyan, Li Min, Yang Gongdao, Zheng Yan looked at Li Fengyun in surprise, unbelievable. Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, and Yu Rou were both surprised and happy, and hurriedly stood up to thank him.

"Absolutely, there is no need to thank you." Li Fengyun said with a pun, "I keep my promise, and you must keep my promise."

This was indeed Li Fengyun's promise. At the time, at Jindi Pass, Dong Chun accepted Wei Fusi's persuasion and gave more than 4,000 soldiers as prisoners to Li Fengyun because Li Fengyun promised that the army would return it to the King of Qi intact. Later, on the bank of Yongji Canal, the King of Qi also mentioned this matter, hoping that Li Fengyun would hand over the army to the people of Jiangzuo to buy the people of Jiangzuo.

It was just a promise that Li Fengyun would spit out the things he had eaten, which was a whim. So even King Qi said it was very subtle at the time, meaning that you just need to give it to others. As for whether it is the elderly, weak, women and children, it doesn't matter. It can be accepted by inferior people as good people.

Now Li Fengyun not only keeps his promise, but also generously handed over the army to the Jiangzuo people intact. This is not only beyond everyone's expectations, but also a great favor. Whether against the King of Qi, it is a great favor for Li Zixiong or Jiangzuo people. Li Fengyun's demeanor and courage are heartbreaking.

Li Zixiong, Zhou Zhong and others were happy, Zhen Baoche, Lu Mingxing and others were angry, and they had a lot of opinions about Li Fengyun. More than 4,000 elite soldiers were sent to others in vain without blinking. Can you still make a fortune?
