Li Fengyun was very calm in the face of the doubts and said nothing. He directly asked the general manager Mi Yong to explain in detail the specific situation of Songshan Pass in front of him.

Songshan is located in a wilderness outside the border, and the name of Guifang came from this. After the Xianbei Tuoba clan moved into the Central Plains to establish the Wei Kingdom (Northern Wei), a large area of ​​land on both sides of the former Suotoushui was immediately included in the Central Earth territory. This is Anzhou, but Anzhou did not include Guifang, nor Songshan. Guifang and Songshan were both habitats of the Xi people at that time. After the outbreak of the Sino-Turkey Unification War, the first one to perish was the North Qi in Shandong, and the border Anzhou immediately became the root of the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty's rebellion.

Because of their serious lack of strength, they formed an alliance with the Donghu people, so they led wolves into the house. The Xi tribe was the first to enter Anzhou, and occupied Anzhou with various means. The Middle-earth people, Turks and Khitans were all one step too late. In the end, the great powers refused to give in and could only accept the facts. After that, the Xi tribe tried their best to manage Anzhou and built key passes in all directions of the border. The Songshan Pass was built during that period, about twenty years ago.

The main defense targets of Songshan Pass are the Donghu species on both sides of the weak Luoshui, such as the Khitan and the Cun tribe. The Donghu species want to grow and grow, and they all want to go south to grab territory. Anzhou is of great significance to the Donghu species. Unlike the Turks and the Middle-earth people, the purpose of these two powerful people paying attention to Anzhou is mainly political and military needs. Anzhou is the chess piece in their hands, and it is also an insignificant chess piece. In addition, the two strong people are restraining each other, so their threat to the Xi ethnic group is limited, and far less threat to the Xi ethnic group. Because of this, the Xi ethnic group's external strategies are very pragmatic, with far-reaching and near attacks, and surrendering to Central Earth and the Desert, and they are tit-for-tat to the Khitan and other Donghu species. They will never be rude when they should take action. Based on this strategy, the Songshan Pass is certainly as stable as a rock and as solid as a rock.

In order to give the generals an intuitive understanding of the key pass of Songshan, Mi Yong drew a sketch of the key pass of Songshan in front of the generals, and briefly explained the main buildings of the key pass and their surrounding terrain.

"One man is the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open." Mi Yong shook his head and sighed bitterly, "The importance of Songshan Pass to the Xi tribe is just like Hulao Pass to the Dongdu and Tongguan to Xijing. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As for the current situation, Ah Hui will withdraw soon. If it is fast, four or five days, and if it is slow, it will only be five or six days. Therefore, the reality in front of us is cruel. If we fail to conquer the Songshan Pass within three or four days, the next battle will be difficult. After Ah Hui comes back, he will definitely counterattack wildly and fight back at all costs. In this way, not only will we suffer huge losses, but the ghost side may be in danger of being in a battle."

After Mi Yong finished speaking, the generals looked solemn, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Li Fengyun looked at Li Zixiong and asked, "What do you think Jianchang Gong think?"

Li Zixiong weighed the pros and cons, and solemnly asked, "You are indeed not sure of taking down the Songshan Pass?"

Obviously, Li Zixiong hopes that Li Fengyun has a "backhand" and looks forward to Li Fengyun creating another miracle. After all, taking the Songshan Pass blocked the main force of the five Xi tribes outside Anzhou, and fighting with the Ahui in the decisive battle at Guifang City, the price paid by the alliance is completely different. The former is small, and the alliance has enough strength to sweep Anzhou. On the contrary, even if the alliance wins the decisive battle, it will suffer heavy losses and even be dying. Not to mention sweeping Anzhou, it will be difficult to survive. In the end, it will only be cheaper to others. If it is cheaper, it can still masturbate. If it is cheaper, it is too much to masturbate. If it is cheaper, it is really regretful and can't even find a place to cry.

"I'm not sure." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "I only have three to four days of attack time. This time is too short and the risk is too great. Once I don't take it down, the consequences will be serious."

Li Zixiong didn't give up and asked, "You are not sure to take down Guifang City?"

"No." Li Fengyun said, "For the same reason. Although we have an absolute advantage in military strength, it takes time to attack the city, and it is impossible to achieve it in one go."

Li Zixiong suddenly became serious and continued to ask, "In this way, are you sure to defeat Ah Huizheng and win this life-and-death battle?"

"No." Li Fengyun said bluntly, "As far as I know, the main force of the five Xi tribes has at least 30,000 people, of which half of the horse and infantry each account for half. During the war, the entire people were soldiers, and their troops were at least 50,000. In the battle between the ghost side, the troops that the Xi tribe invested in the battlefield should be between 30,000 and 40,000, of which the string control was at least 20,000."

"Our horse army has just been formed, and it is possible to bluff, but the life-and-death battle is not possible. And the troops are divided into three groups, one is in the flat pine forest, and the other is with Jianchang Duke to Gubeikou. Although the main force) stayed on the battlefield of the ghost side. However, compared with the Xi tribe's string control, there are too few people and not enough to block the gap between people. Our infantry has been intact since we left the frontier, but tomorrow, Jianchang Duke will lead the Leopard Cavalry and the Feather Cavalry to head south, and Zhong Xin's first army is now blocking the Turkic Cole in the flat pine forest.

People, then there are only more than 26,000 soldiers left on the battlefield of the Ghost Square, plus more than 4,000 knights. These are all the troops we participated in the decisive battle of the Ghost Square. From this, we can see that in this life-and-death battle, we not only have no advantage in military strength, but also are completely at a disadvantage due to the serious shortage of the horse army. If we fight head-on with the five Xi tribes in the empty field under the Ghost Square City, we will undoubtedly lose."

Li Zixiong heard some good news. Since Li Fengyun has come up with a plan to recover Anzhou, of course he has considered all kinds of difficulties. Especially before going north, Li Fengyun did not know that King Xi was taking the army of the five Xi tribes to attack the Khitan. If the army of the five Xi tribes were all in Anzhou, it would be even more difficult to recover Anzhou. Now the main force of the five Xi tribes is on the front line of the Hechenshui, and the interior of Anzhou is empty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime god-given opportunity for Li Fengyun, so how can he not miss it? Since he must take this opportunity to the extreme, Li Fengyun must be prepared. It is impossible to be at a loss when he reaches Guifang City and still has to take one step at a time. Isn’t that a joke?

Li Zixiong concluded that Li Fengyun had a winning strategy. He had known Li Fengyun for a while. As he learned more, he felt that Li Fengyun was deeply scheming and difficult to see through. The flat ground pine forest horse thieves of Mi Yong and Hu Luba should be the biggest "backhand" prepared by Li Fengyun to recover Anzhou. However, from the current situation, Li Fengyun's "backhand" obviously did not meet his requirements. He was very disappointed with the two brothers Mi Yong and Hu Luba and was full of vigilance. This can be seen from Li Fengyun's arrangement for Mi Yong and Hu Luba. Hu Luba stayed on the flat ground

Songlin and Mi Yong followed Li Zixiong south to Gubeikou. These two generals who are most familiar with Guifang and their surrounding areas are far away from Guifang and cannot participate in Guifang. If you think about it carefully, you must not let people speculate on Li Fengyun's true intention with the greatest malicious intention. Li Fengyun would not doubt his two brothers, but he absolutely did not trust the horse thieves in the flat pine forest, so he found an excuse to let Mi Yong and Huluba take these horse thieves away from Guifang. The purpose is to ensure the victory of the decisive battle and not allow any possible adverse factors to affect this life-and-death battle.

"Since the disadvantage is so obvious, you still have to fight to the death?" Li Zixiong deliberately tempted.

"Since the flag raised by Mangdang Mountain, I have been on the verge of life and death every moment. I am as dangerous as I am. How can I have an advantage?" Li Fengyun laughed, "For me, there is only one road in life. I will fight with my boats and fight with my back. Even if I am crushed, I will be willing to do so. Therefore, I can defeat the strong with the weak, I can defeat the strong with the weak, and I can defeat the entire battle and defeat everything."

Li Zixiong also smiled, "Since you have such a determination, I won't persuade you. I will lead my army south tomorrow. Before leaving, I will give you an instructor."

Li Fengyun reached out and made a "please talk".

"If you and Ah Hui are both defeated, please be sure to stick to the end." Li Zixiong teased, "It is better to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper."

"As you wish." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "If I fight Ah Hui and both lose both sides, I will tell you as quickly as possible. At that time, you must convince Duan Da and ask him to secretly send troops to help you recover Anzhou to save me from life and death."

When the generals saw that Li Zixiong no longer insisted on their own opinions and argued without reason, their mood suddenly improved. They chatted and laughed with Li Fengyun, and suddenly realized that they guessed that Li Fengyun was confident, but it was not convenient to disclose the secrets, so they said the opposite. Everyone followed Li Fengyun for so long and experienced many incredible miracles in person. Of course, their confidence in Li Fengyun would not be shaken by the difficulties in front of him.

At this time, Han Shiye raised a question: If the Selected Front Army starts to move south tomorrow, wouldn’t it just happen to collide head-on with the reinforcements of the King Xi’s mansion that went north to support? Wouldn’t the Selected Front Army take on the heavy responsibility of “fighting aid”? Will this affect the Selected Front Army’s trip to the south and delay the time to arrive at Gubeikou?

Han Shiyan is willing to preserve his strength, especially now that the ghost side's battle is obviously unfavorable to the alliance, and Li Fengyun and Ah Hui are likely to suffer both losses. If the situation develops to that point, Duan Da will definitely decisively take action to seize Anzhou. Of course, Duan Da will definitely not dare to send troops without authorization before obtaining the consent of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. He can only recover Anzhou with the help of Li Zixiong. Once Anzhou is recovered, Han Shiyan will be able to make great contributions and have the opportunity to return to the Eastern Capital. Therefore, Han Shiyan doesn't care much about it now, and it is concerned about his own interests. Even if he puts shamelessness on his face, it doesn't matter.

"If Xinyi Gong is willing to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking and aid, we will certainly be grateful." Li Fengyun joked.

The generals burst into laughter. The grassroots generals looked contemptuous without exception, and they wanted to spit on the spot.

Mi Yong took the initiative to stand up and explained that there were two roads between Guifang and Fangcheng where King Xi’s Mansion was located, each advancing in unison along the banks of Suotoushui. Among them, the west bank of Suotoushui is the avenue and the east bank is the avenue. If nothing unexpected happens, the reinforcements of the King Xi’s Mansion will definitely take the avenue. "Let's take the path to avoid the reinforcements of the King Xi’s Mansion to ensure that the southbound journey is not affected."

On September 18th, early in the morning, the military controversy ended, and Li Fengyun led the generals to bid farewell to Li Zixiong and other generals to the south.

"When and where will we see each other again?" Li Zixiong couldn't think of any victory plan for Li Fengyun. He was unwilling to accept it and spoke again before leaving.

"See you in Fangcheng at the end of the month."
