September 23rd, late at night, Panlong Castle.

Li Zixiong and Han Shiye led the Leopard Cavalry to travel day and night, and finally arrived at Panlong Fort before midnight.

Mi Yong, Jing Jiang Liujin Fei, several big axes, Erzhu Tianxiao and other Thunder Army generals came out of the fort to welcome him, winning praise from the three powerful peoples Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and Yang Gongdao, and especially praised the several big axes who offered their plan to seize the fort.

Several great axes were humble, and they pushed all the credits to the heroes of Yanshan, and introduced them to Li Zixiong and others. These heroes were all the leaders of Yanshan bandits and brothers of several great axes. This time, under the persuasion of several great axes, they not only participated in the Thunder Army of the Alliance, but also made great contributions in the process of capturing Panlong Fort. It was they who hid their own people in the ranks of merchants in advance and sneaked into Panlong Fort and lit the fire. Otherwise, the Thunder Army would never be able to take this solid pass in a short time.

Li Zixiong greeted him intimately and immediately ordered a reward, dividing the spoils of Panlong Castle into three, including one of Yanshan heroes, one of the Thunder soldiers, and the remaining one was handed over to the alliance. Yanshan heroes were very surprised, and the bandits cheered and cheered. More than two hundred bandits divided one-third of the spoils of Panlong Castle, and the reward was too generous. Each bandit became a local tyrant in the blink of an eye. This speed of wealth was much faster than killing people and robbing people.

Li Zixiong was in a very good mood. On the way, he received a urgent report from Zhou Zhong that Bai Tan City had been taken down, and now Panlong Fortress has also been taken down. The process was much smoother than expected. All this was not because of his good command by Li Zixiong, nor because of his good command by the southward selection army, but because of the "backhand" deployed by Li Fengyun, which played a crucial role, and of course, more importantly, Pei Shiju's strategy.

His next task was to obtain material support from wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan, and then contact Duan Da as soon as possible, striving to win the support of the Zhuo County left-behind mansion in the shortest time.

The key to whether the strategy to recover Anzhou can be successful depends on whether the alliance can obtain support from the Great Wall. Otherwise, the results in front of us will soon disappear. All previous efforts will be with the return of King Xi Huizheng and the five Xi tribes. With the arrival of winter, with the joint attacks between the Turks and other ethnic groups in the northeast.

After entering Panlong Fort, Li Zixiong immediately summoned the military discussion without waiting for a break.

Mi Yong detailed the process of attacking Panlong Fort and the siege of Gubeikou border city, while Li Zixiong didn't care about these things at all. He was concerned about the movements in Gubeikou.

"The Xi people took the Chinese and Turkish merchants as hostages, but there was no movement in the Gubeikou?" Li Zixiong asked with a frown.

Mi Yong nodded, "The door was closed and the garrison in the city was ready for battle. Anyone who was close to the door was warned two hundred steps away, and he would be shot and killed when he moved forward."

Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and Yang Gongdao looked at each other, and doubts arose in their hearts. Since Li Fengyun had reached an agreement with the wealthy families in northern Ji and Youyan, why did Panlong Fort fall and the Zhongdi Celestial Celestial was erected, and there was no movement on the other side? Isn’t this explanation?

Li Zixiong turned his eyes to Li Mengchang. Li Mengchang followed Li Zixiong south to Gubeikou and was Li Fengyun's arrangement. Under special circumstances, there was Li Mengchang outside the Great Wall and Li Sixing inside the Great Wall, which ensured that the two sides could establish contact.

Li Mengchang was also worried. When he saw Li Zixiong looking at him, he immediately stood up and volunteered, "Ming Gong, I will go to Gubeikou immediately."

Li Zixiong waved his hand vigorously, "Go and go quickly and return quickly to ensure safety. I'm waiting for good news here."

At midnight, Li Mengchang and Jing Jiang Liujinfei led a team of horsemen to the Gubeikou Pass. On the Great Wall, piles of bonfires were burning, and from a distance they looked like a string of dazzling pearls, illuminating half of the sky.

Two hundred steps away from the critical pass, the horse soldiers lined up in rows, holding up the torches, shouting wildly, "The messenger knocked on the gate..."

The contact horn was sounded again and asked the other party to respond.

After calling out dozens of times, the sound of horns finally came from the pass, allowing the messenger to enter the pass.

Without hesitation, Li Mengchang immediately took off his armor and weapons, wearing only thin military uniforms, strode to the pass without his hands, sat in a hanging basket, and the garrison on the city pulled up to the city wall.

As soon as Li Mengchang showed up, he heard a familiar scream. It was Li Sixing's cry. Then a large group of people surrounded him and asked in various ways without waiting for Li Mengchang to walk out of the hanging basket. Li Mengchang was very calm and grabbed Li Sixing, "Who is the Ninth General of the Cui family?"

Li Sixing looked at it and raised his hand to point at a military-style man behind the crowd. Li Mengchang immediately apologized to the crowd around him, then walked quickly to Cui Jiu, bowed and was about to speak, but Cui Jiu shook his hand to stop him, "Don't worry, I've seen the town general and the town deputy first."

Li Mengchang suddenly realized that no wonder Mi Yong and others had not been able to contact Gubeikou. It turned out that it was not that the wealthy families in Jibei and Youyan did not arrive in time, but that they lacked confidence in Li Fengyun and did not communicate with the military and political chiefs in Gubeikou in advance. As a result, they encountered obstacles at the critical moment and could only stand on the Great Wall and waited for it.

Cui Jiu had no expression on his face and did not say a word. He took Li Mengchang and Li Sixing walked along the way. It was obvious that he was very angry and angry.

He had to be angry. Today, not only was the face of the Cui family "cuted" by others, but the face of the wealthy families in Jibei and Youyan, and even the face of the Guo family in Taiyuan, were cut off. Murong was too much, and Murong Zhengze was even more "righteous".

Previously, Guo Xuan told Murong Zhengze excitedly that the Panlong Fort was indeed the Middle-Turkish army, but the rebels who went out of the north of Yan at the beginning of the month. Their real purpose of going out to the frontier was to recover Anzhou. As a result, a miracle happened. This impossible thing actually came true. Of course, the authenticity of this matter needs to be further verified, and people need to be sent out to contact Panlong Fort.

Guo Xuan told him frankly, with his intentions very obvious. Everyone has a share of such merits that are within their reach. Not only will Murong Zhengze not refuse, but he will also be grateful to him. Unexpectedly, Murong Zhengze ignored him and sent him away in one sentence. "This is an extraordinary period. The door is closed and no one is allowed to enter and exit."

Guo Xuan was patiently persuaded at first, but Murong Zhengze refused to turn on and not allowed anyone to come out of seclusion on the grounds of the safety of the Great Wall. Guo Xuan, who lost all face, finally lost his patience. In addition, he was suppressed by Murong Zhengze for several months and was overwhelmed by resentment, and new and old hatreds broke out.

Guo Xuan was furious and forced Murong Zhengze to open and close the door with Gubeikou Town. As a result, this move completely angered Murong Zhengze. He pointed at Guo Xuan's nose and cursed, saying that Guo Xuan had colluded with a rebel and was familiar with foreign countries, which had seriously endangered the security of the Great Wall. He wanted to submit an impeachment. Guo Xuan was speechless, speechless, and was so angry that his face turned red and red, and he left with his sleeves.

The situation suddenly lost control, and the children of several wealthy families never expected that Murong Zhengze would become the biggest obstacle to supporting Li Fengyun at the critical moment.

Cui Jiu, Lu Junxian, Liu Shanbo and others hurriedly came forward to remedy it, but it was too late. This matter was a secret. Even those who knew the matter would not say it bluntly. Everyone was wise and understood it by vaguely revealing it. They could only understand it but not speak it out. Everything was indifferent. But Murong Zheng deliberately pretended not to understand, did not make tacit understanding, and did to discuss the matter seriously. The result can be imagined that Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong were both rebels in the Middle Earth, and they were both people who must kill the court. Even if they captured Anzhou, they were still rebels in the Middle Earth, and they were still people who must kill the court. Of course, the closing door could not be opened.

The matter was broken and there was no room for maneuver. At this time, except for the Holy Lord's order, I'm afraid no one could convince Murong Zhengze to open the door. Because the matter was obvious, no one could admit that he and Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong were allies, and he could not admit that he knew that the purpose of the second Li went out to the frontier was to recover Anzhou, which was equivalent to confirming the crime of collusion with traitors.

The twelve ladies of the Cui family were also anxious. When Li Fengyun told her this secret, he once said that the key to regaining Anzhou was the timely support of food and grass weapons, and the fighter opportunity was fleeting. Once Li Fengyun missed the opportunity to regain Anzhou because of food and grass, all the expected future benefits would disappear. In desperation, Cui Yu planned to reveal his identity and personally persuade him, but was completely stopped by Cui Jiu.

The matter is obvious. Murong Zhengze refused not because of personal reasons, but because of official duties. All those who forced Murong Zhengze to open and close the door were all favoritism and abused the law, and ignored the safety of border towns and the safety of Middle-earth.

Of course, as far as the recovery of Anzhou is successful, it will be very beneficial to Middle-earth. But the key question now is, is it successful? Since it is not successful, it will be of no benefit to Middle-earth. Since it is not beneficial to Middle-earth, it may even affect Middle-earth. What reason does Murong Zhengze have to "join the current and dirty things" open the door? Let's take a step back, even if it succeeds, even if it is very beneficial to Middle-earth, there are still two important premises. Will the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong dedicate Anzhou to Middle-earth? Will the Holy Lord and the Central Government accept the surrender of the White-haired thief and Li Zixiong? If the answer is no, neither of these two premises are true, then this matter is not only unfavorable to Middle-earth, but also harmful. It is also said that without the orders of the Holy Lord and the Central Government, Murong Zhengze could not open the door and fall into the predicament of himself and Middle-earth.

The same thing is very different from the final result when standing on the national destiny and Middle-earth position. Murong Zhengze, who stands on the national destiny and Middle-earth position, is not willing to collude with the self-interested persons, nor can he be in a gangster. The final result is that he will never open and close the door. Therefore, even if the Twelve Lady of the Cui family comes forward personally and faces the righteous and righteous Murong Zhengze, who is still at a loss.

Just then, Li Mengchang appeared, and Cui Jiu immediately saw a turning point.

At present, as long as the situation in Anzhou is very beneficial to the white-haired thieves and Li Zixiong, it is a good opportunity for Zhongtu to seize profits. After this battle, the white-haired thieves and the Xi tribe will definitely suffer both losses, and the Turks will definitely support the Xi tribe. If Zhongtu wants to profit from it, it will inevitably secretly support the white-haired thieves in order to continue to disrupt the situation in Anzhou and consume the power of the Xi tribe and the Turks. In this way, just wait for the right time, Zhongtu may be able to easily recover Anzhou with one blow.

All generals with a little military knowledge can see this kind of good situation and will not miss the opportunity. As the son of a famous general, Murong Zhengze cannot see it, nor can he let the fighter jets slip away from his hands. The reason why he refuses to cooperate now is because he has never seen such a good situation at all. Like everyone, he has no idea whether the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong have already won a certain advantage in the battlefield of Anzhou. If the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong are in danger or even about to be defeated, where will the good situation come from? Where can the fighter jets come from?

Cui Jiu took Li Mengchang and Li Si walked down the city wall. Seeing that there was only a team of garrison behind him and there were no idle people waiting, he slowed down and asked Li Mengchang in a low voice, "What's the situation in Anzhou?"
