Chapter 607 Dig a pit and bury it by yourself
Li Fengyun ordered the city to be besieged, rivers blocked, and civilian farmers were recruited nearby, trying every means to transport all the materials in the Gaoyang Jinkou warehouse to Changshan Pass in the shortest time.
After this order, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Sun Xuanya and other heroes from Hebei were very surprised. They were full of confidence and planned to take down Gaoyang City and Gaoyang Palace in one go, and then looted them all, and retrieved a basin full of bowls. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, hope was lost, and Li Fengyun actually gave up. This was outrageous.
The rich and handsome men came to Li Fengyun to "reason" and why did they give up? Why was such a good opportunity was wasted? Why did the things that had been said suddenly change their minds?
Li Fengyun's face was gloomy and his eyes were not kind, and he was very dissatisfied. When he was dragging you to fight Gao Yang, you were reluctant, and even suspected that someone had a ill intention. It was not until someone revealed Gao Yang's "secret" and knew that Gao Yang was just an empty city. You changed your attitude and ran faster than rabbits one by one. Now the fragrant fat meat was right beside your mouth, but you could only see but not eat it. Then he showed his fierceness and ran over angrily, yelling, without thinking about the reason, which was speechless. No wonder in the competition for hegemony for several years, these Hebei people capsized in the gutter under a good situation, and were beaten to pieces by Li Tang, and they were defeated, and finally got nothing. All the previous efforts made wedding clothes for Li Tang in vain. It was really sad to think about it.
Li Fengyun was too lazy to explain and ignored it. Liu Xuan had to think about the people of Hebei, so he told the whole story about the causes and consequences.
The rich and handsome men all know that Li Fengyun had three purposes for fighting Gao Yang, one was to grab food, the second was to attract the attention of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, lay the foundation for the subsequent planning of the alliance, and the third was to help the King of Qi go north. But in fact, there was another purpose, which was to use this to force the wealthy families in northern Hebei to compromise on the alliance's foothold in Yanbei.
You can disagree or even oppose the alliance being based in Yanbei, but you cannot exert influence on the Holy Lord, the Central and the Guardian for your own selfish interests, and then unite forces from all parties to try your best to siege and kill the alliance. This is actually equivalent to helping the Northern Escapists invade Central China in disguise, which is equivalent to shooting oneself in the foot, and ultimately harming one's own interests.
The reason is this, but for those wealthy families whose minds have been blinded by their own personal interests, this world is their world? The rules of the game are also their rules of the game. The truth they recognize is correct, otherwise it is wrong. Therefore, if the alliance wants to win enough time to gain a foothold in Yanbei, it must force these wealthy families to be in a "waiting and watching" state in the short term, rather than letting them regard the alliance as a thorn in the eyes, and they must get rid of it quickly.
Li Fengyun has forced the Li family of Zhaojun to choose to "sight", and next he must force the Cui family of Boling to choose to "sight". Although the twelve ladies of the Cui family have officially told Li Fengyun to "partition", what is the essence of "split up"? Is it a stranger or an enemy? Being a stranger is to watch coldly, and being an enemy is to confront each other or even fight.
Li Fengyun did not want to be enemies of the Boling Cui family. Among the three wealthy families in northern Hebei, the Cui family has the greatest influence. Once the Cui family is enemies with the alliance, the Liu family in Zhongshan, who is also in Boling County, will inevitably follow up. This will inevitably affect the choice of the Youyan wealthy family.
The wealthy families of Youyan are respected by the Fanyang Lu family, one of the five major families in Shandong. The second is the Zou family, Jian family, Yan family, Shao family, and Yuan family. In addition, some large families of the barbarians, they constitute the most powerful local forces in the Youyan area. The attitude of these local forces towards the alliance is not only directly related to whether the alliance can gain a foothold in Yanbei, but also directly determines the development of the situation in Yanbei. Once the two sides do not compromise and fight to the death, both will eventually suffer losses. This will not only endanger the security of the northern border towns, but will further deteriorate the relationship between the north and the south, and may even detonate the Civil War in advance.
None of the forces on all sides could accept this consequence, but before the consequences occurred, all forces were unwilling to give up their own interests, were lucky, and were unwilling to compromise and tolerate, and eventually they would unstoppably create such consequences. Therefore, Li Fengyun must prepare for the future and come up with countermeasures to avoid becoming the "culprit" of the war between the North and the South. For this reason, he had to force the Boling Cui family to choose a "watching" position when the alliance entered Yanbei.
If the wealthy families in northern Hebei, such as the Cui family of Boling, Li family of Zhaojun and Liu family of Zhongshan, are "cold-eyed and watched" by the changes in the situation in Yanbei, it will inevitably make the wealthy families of Youyan hesitate and difficult to make a decision. Everyone wants to be profitable "fishermen" and do not want to be "snipes" to be used, so the two sides can only "communicate" first and test each other. However, due to the contradictions and conflicts of regional interests, this kind of temptation is destined not to succeed, but will make the situation more complicated.
What Li Fengyun needs is this complex situation. The more complex the situation and the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it will be to the alliance to establish itself in Yanbei.
Li Fengyun firmly believed that the Cui family of Boling was absolutely impossible to be enemies with it. The reason why they "partial ways" was to truly watch coldly and see how the situation developed after the alliance entered Yanbei. If the development trend was beneficial to the Cui family, the Cui family would of course "renew the relationship" and continue to cooperate. However, the Twelve Lady of the Cui family was not the leader of the Cui family. At most, she was a core member of the Cui family. Cui Yu's position could not represent the family's position, so the meaning of "partial ways" was very vague. As for whether to "surveillance" or "become an enemy", the family made the final decision.
Cui Yu could be vague, but Li Fengyun had to figure out Cui's true attitude, so he clearly told Cui Yu at that time that I would fight Gaoyang to grab food and help King Qi go north, which was actually coercive Cui. You'd better choose to "snatch", which will benefit you and me. Cui Yu affirmed and told Boling that the elders of the clan to make a decision. Before the decision was made, Li Fengyun was still quite nervous.
The attitude of Li's family in Zhao County greatly increased Li Fengyun's confidence, giving him absolute confidence to win Cui's "onsight". However, before Cui made a formal promise, Li Fengyun still wanted to put pressure on Gao Yang's survival.
Liu Xuan explained this to the coaches and told them that Kong Yingda had rushed to Boling, and the coaches were immediately panicked.
The Hebei rich families have revered in the minds of Hebei people, and can even be said to be god-like existences, and are the place of faith. The wealthy families have lasted for one or two thousand years and have stood firm on the land of Yan and Zhao. On the contrary, in the past one or two thousand years, how many "king flags" have fallen on the land of Yan and Zhao? The dynasties that have changed like a lantern and countless heroes have long been destroyed in the long river of history. Only the wealthy families and great families are like the sun in the sky, always hanging high in the sky of history.
The wealthy family is the spiritual pillar of the heroes. As long as the wealthy family is supported, the heroes will be full of confidence in the future. Therefore, no matter when they first joined the alliance or follow the alliance to fight north, their most powerful motivation is that they come from the wealthy family. To be precise, it comes from the secret support of the Cui family of Boling and the Li family of Zhaojun for Li Fengyun. Otherwise, even if they were in trouble on the battlefield of Qilu, they would not join the alliance and surrender to Li Fengyun.
Before, they had already speculated that there was a fierce conflict between Li Fengyun and the wealthy family. After all, the profit of smuggling in Yanbei was too much involved. Li Fengyun insisted on "taken away" Yanbei, stealing people's jobs and food, and of course the momentum became a waste of fire. But they were still too optimistic and estimated their value too high, thinking that the wealthy family would not give up the powerful force of the alliance. Unexpectedly, the situation turned sharply, Li Fengyun really wanted to break up with the wealthy family. What's more serious is that Li Fengyun was insidious and cunning, and actually plotted against them quietly, using their swords to kill people, pushing them to the opposite side of the wealthy family, and then forcing them to follow him to fight with Yanbei at the end of their own.
Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Sun Xuanya and others' faces turned into "black pot", one by one is ugly than the other. Li Fengyun was so scary that he buried a group of Hebei heroes in the pit while chatting and laughing. What made people feel depressed and vomiting blood was that this pit was dug out by Hao Xiaode and others happily. Now he couldn't wait to coerce Li Fengyun to bury them quickly. This was a really unbearable blow to the arrogant heroes.
What to do now? Will you still fight Gao Yang?
If the alliance destroys Gao Yang now, it is equivalent to publicly attacking the face of the Saint Lord and the Central. Previously, rebels such as Yang Xuangan have already defeated the authority of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee to "exactly". Now, the alliance turns Gao Yang into ruins under the noses of the Saint Lord and the Palace, and then "sprays salt" on the wounds of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee. It will inevitably completely anger the Saint Lord, and the Saint Lord must revenge wildly. How to revenge? Of course, it is not only to encircle the Alliance, but also to kill those known or potential forces that openly support the Alliance and openly and secretly support the Alliance.
Once the revenge begins, it will be difficult to control. Once it loses control, it will inevitably affect the innocent. The wealthy families in northern Hebei are at the forefront. Although it will not be "harmful" because of this matter, at least the vested interests will be damaged and more political compromises must be made to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. This is unacceptable for the wealthy families above the family interests.
This is also unacceptable for the heroes who respect wealthy families and urgently need the support of wealthy families, so Gao Yang can only surround him and cannot fight.
Liu Heita couldn't help but question, "What if they refuse to compromise or even decide to kill us? Should we really burn Gao Yang with one fire?"
"Of course." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "The key to whether we can gain a foothold in Yanbei is not whether there is support from wealthy families, but whether the major forces in the north can reach a consensus on the current situation in the north and south, and whether we can work together to prepare for the war between the north and the south. Otherwise, even if we have the support of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, we will not be able to gain foothold in Yanbei, because we have too many enemies, we are attacked from both sides and attacked from all sides, even if we have three heads and six arms, we will not be able to resist."
