The strength of the two sides in the first Eastern Expedition was too great. Hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhongtu fought a small foreign country, Goguryeo, but a ship overturned in the gutter and killed 200,000 soldiers, causing the vitality of the Guards to be severely damaged, the border garrisons fell into crisis, and the relationship between the north and the south took a sharp decline. Then in the Civil War, the gap in the strength of the two sides was not big. China and the vitality of the country were greatly damaged, the national strength was weak, and the strength was lost, and the heroism was no longer there. If the Northern Barbarians went south, the control of the string would definitely exceed 200,000. In this case, if the domestic political situation was turbulent, such as another openly rebellious Yang Xuangan or the secretly stolen Husizheng, the result would be self-evident, and it would definitely repeat the mistake of the defeat of the First Eastern Expedition.

If the future trend is as Li Fengyun said, if the alliance passively responds to future crises, it can be foreseen that the alliance will most likely be destroyed in the war. If you take a step back, you will survive even if you survive by chance. If the alliance loses its strength, what can you use to seek the expected benefits? Will the Holy Lord, who is in political difficulties, fulfill his promise and reward him according to merit? Where will the merits come from if he loses his crime? If he is not guilty, he will be considered a great gift.

Therefore, Li Fengyun's interpretation of the alliance's northern expedition is very insightful, that is, taking the initiative to attack and using the limited time and space before the outbreak of the war to seize the opportunity to survive. What is the opportunity to survive? To put it bluntly, it is to develop strength. Without strong strength, you cannot survive in the war, nor can you seek sufficient benefits after the war.

The alliance army is a rebel army, not a guard army. The alliance is to fight north to participate in the Civil War in order to seek benefits. How can we impress the rich and powerful men without sufficient benefits? Defending the country, killing the enemy in blood, and wrapping the body with horses is the responsibility of the vested interests, and the rich and powerful men are the enemies of the vested interests. Even if they have this obligation, they will not fulfill this obligation in the situation where both sides will never die. "Great righteousness" is a golden wool robe, and everyone is willing to wear it on their bodies. It can cover up the fragile robe and deceive the general public. Why not do it? The vested interests wear "gold robe robe" every day, and the rich and powerful men also shout "Great righteousness" every day, but in fact they are all interests first and have no interests. "Great righteousness" is not bullshit in their eyes.

If the Civil War is defeated, what profits can there be? Therefore, we must make preparations and reserve a way out. But Li Fengyun will never publicly threaten to preserve his strength in the war in front of the powerful people such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, etc., and take advantage of the defeat of Middle-earth and the desert after the war, separating the northern border and dominating the world, and competing for the world. This is purely a matter of finding trouble, deliberately provoking conflicts, and in danger of division.

The reason why Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and Zhou Zhong and other powerful people defected to the King of Qi to stay in the alliance was to win the Civil War, to lose their merits and return to the career of the State. Therefore, they had confidence in the Holy Lord and the Central Government, and had high hopes for the Civil War. Although they also admitted that Li Fengyun's inference had certain persuasiveness and possibility, they would not be like the heroes, because they believed and blindly followed Li Fengyun to believe in this inference and would seek other plans. They would not give up. This is their only realistic and promising opportunity to "rebirth" and should not be missed or destroyed. If Li Fengyun went back on his word, betrayed, and used them for personal gain under the banner of righteousness, both sides would inevitably break up. Li Fengyun saw thoroughly, so he was "vague" at the key points, and even did not reveal any words. No matter how you understand it, I will never admit that he has selfishness.

Li Fengyun waited for a moment again. Seeing Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong and others did not raise any questions, he continued, "Of course, no one knows the future. Whether speculation or assumptions, it has no practical significance. However, it is a warning to us, warning us to be cautious at all times, make the worst plans, prepare for the future, make two-handed preparations, and leave a way out for ourselves. This is the purpose of our northern expedition, which is to create the opportunity to survive in the war."

"In the Feihu Army's proposal, I have made it clear that the frontal battlefield of the Civil War must be Daibei, and if we devote ourselves to the frontal battlefield, we will only be destroyed. Therefore, if we want to survive in the war, we must avoid the frontal battlefield and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy on the flank battlefield. However, if we trap Yanbei, before the war breaks out, Dongdu will inevitably recruit unconditionally to eradicate all hidden dangers. The consequences of not agreeing are conceivable. It is not good for the country or ourselves. If we agree, do we still have the power to choose a battlefield? Of course not. What should we do? It's very simple, jump out of Yanbei, break through the siege, and win the initiative to recover Anzhou, and force Dongdu to compromise with the initiative on the battlefield. In this way, before the war breaks out, Dongdu can only exchange interests for our cooperation in order to increase the advantages of China and Turkey."

When Li Fengyun said this, he became serious. "The Northern Expedition is related to the survival of the alliance and the future of the alliance. With such a big plan, we, the strongest troops, do not charge and control our own destiny, and do not control our own destiny. Do we also have to let those rich and powerful men with different ambitions charge and let them decide our destiny?"

The generals of the alliance looked solemn and did not say a word, but their hearts were already "transparent".

In the Feihu Military Conference, Li Fengyun emphasized the purpose of the Northern Expedition to reverse the crisis of the Northern Expedition and increase the chances of victory in the war between the North and the South, and stand on the standpoint of the overall situation and justice. Today, in the Daiwangcheng Military Conference, Li Fengyun's position changed quietly, completely from the perspective of the alliance, focusing on the survival of the alliance in the war and its development after the war, and even publicly made the inference of the defeat of the Civil War in the Middle and South, and what does this mean? This means that Li Fengyun's strategy for the Northern Expedition was actually based on the failure of the war.

The mystery behind this is great. To be smaller, it is to preserve strength, to be larger, it is to have ulterior motives and have the intention to rob with fire. If you extend it deeper, it is to be separatist and dominant. This is in line with the interests of the alliance and the interests of these heroes who follow Li Fengyun to fight everywhere. It is better to seek others than to seek others. Instead of relying on the charity and gifts of the court, it is better to create a world by yourself, to kill and seize life and death, and to avenge your grudges.

Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong and others also knew it well. Many facts can prove that Pei Shiju is losing control of Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun's wings are hard, able to fly, and ambitious. As for how big the ambition is, although he still depends on the development of the general trend of China and abroad, one thing is certain. Li Fengyun is not optimistic about the King of Qi, and is also very pessimistic about the Civil War, and even incredible that the country may collapse and the cause of unification may collapse. If Middle Earth falls apart, Li Fengyun has the strength and will naturally have to dominate the world. However, in the eyes of powerful people such as Li Zixiong, this is purely a fool. But Li Fengyun is a crazy person. He has always used Pei Shiju's reputation to extract the value of the King of Qi, and even used tricks to use the Holy Lord and the Central to go out to fight with the sword and kill people, so as to gain the best interests of himself.

It is normal for such a crazy person to make such crazy remarks. Although he had just left Feihu and had not yet left the frontier, he was impatient to reveal his "true face", but it was not useless. At least the "true face" can effectively appease the heroes of the alliance, calm the resentment of these heroes, inspire their morale, lay a solid foundation for going out to the frontier, and at the same time it also sounded a "warning bell" for the powerful and other powerful people. Thieves are thieves, and rebellions are rebellions. Never expect one thief and one rebel to suddenly abandon evil and do good under the guidance of the flag of "righteousness", and sacrifice their lives to defend the country. Therefore, you must be highly vigilant and must maintain a safe distance, so as not to be eaten by these rebels with their belts and bones when caught off guard.

"You just said that after the two armies gathered together, the remaining heroes and commanders must equally divide the benefits of the northern expedition and get it for nothing, so they are angry." Li Fengyun couldn't help laughing when he said this, "I would like to ask you, where did you get news from, saying that after the two armies gathered together, after the two armies gathered together? Who told you that the remaining army would leave Yanbei and go to Anzhou?"

The generals looked at each other and collectively absent, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little strange.

Did Li Fengyun say that the two armies would meet? No. At the Feihu Army, did you discuss the meeting and make a decision to choose a chance to join? No. However, if you go out to the frontier to fight and recover Anzhou, isn’t it just to jump out of Yanbei, break through the siege, and reverse the passive situation of the alliance? If the two armies would not join, wouldn’t it be like leaving the legion to trap Feihu, and let them die?

The alliance generals such as Lu Mingxing, Xu Shisan and Guo Ming were confused and could not guess Li Fengyun's true intentions. However, the powerful people such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and Zhou Zhong had some understanding after a little thought, and they were all secretly surprised. Sure enough, Li Fengyun was ambitious and had great ambitions.

The purpose of the Northern Expedition is too complex, and there is also too deep mystery behind the battle to regain Anzhou. Li Fengyun's talented talent actually cleverly utilizes the current contradictions and conflicts of various forces and the heavy pressure brought by the Civil War to secretly arrange for his future. The alliance's troops are divided into two groups, echoing east and west, and supporting each other, which can ensure the survival and development of the two armies of the alliance, and the expansion of the alliance's strength can bring more and greater benefits, which in turn

It can help the alliance's two armies to further develop and grow. The growing alliance will definitely force the Eastern Capital to compromise before the outbreak of the Civil War, and then gain more abundant benefits by participating in the North-South War. Li Fengyun just said that the possibility of victory in the Civil War is slim. It can be foreseen that Li Fengyun must preserve his strength in the war so that he can take advantage of the opportunity of both sides of the North and South and dominate the northern border after the war.

This is an open conspiracy. After all, the key is the Civil War. If Middle-earth wins the war, Li Fengyun's ambition will go bankrupt. On the contrary, Middle-earth needs Li Fengyun's power to protect the Great Wall, block the Northern Barbarians in times of crisis, and help Middle-earth gain respite. Therefore, even if Li Fengyun has ambitions and even Li Fengyun has made a move to separatist the northern border, Dongdu can only swallow his anger and pinch his nose and accept it. When the vitality recovers in the future, then settle the accounts in the autumn.

Li Zixiong sighed helplessly, no wonder Li Fengyun was impatient to reveal his "true face". It turned out that he had already made the decision to "divided troops into two groups, echo each other from afar, and develop together". The journey to the frontier north has to survive and develop independently from now on. It is time to say it out now.

However, such a big event is related to the survival of the alliance, why did Li Fengyun deliberately conceal it? Why did he be so secretive about the Feihu Army's discussion and even gave a false hint that the two armies would inevitably meet?
