October 15th, Anzhou, Panlong Fort.

Li Zixiong received the good news from Maogouchuan and was very surprised. After carefully reading the detailed process of Maogouchuan's battle, he couldn't help but sigh that Li Fengyun's luck was so good.

Although there is a gap in strength between the two sides in this battle, one side of the alliance has no absolute advantage. The alliance soldiers fought continuously and were exhausted, while the situation in Anzhou is still in chaos. The Xi tribes and local forces have their own thoughts and are ready to move. In addition, the Turks strengthened their offensives in the direction of flat pine forests, and the ghost side frequently went into emergency. What's more serious is that the weather is getting colder and colder and heavy snow falls at any time. These unfavorable factors add heavy pressure to the alliance, but give the Xi tribe a turn.

Opportunity to win. Of course, if the Xi tribe wants to seize this opportunity, the premise is that the Hui must have a clear understanding and correct judgment of the situation in Anzhou and cannot make mistakes in decision-making. While protecting its own strength, it will try every means to restrain the main army of the alliance, stand up to a stalemate, delay time, resolutely not fight a decisive battle, and wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack, and wait for the Turks to launch a large-scale attack, and the alliance army is in a dilemma of fighting on both sides, and the Xi tribe will have the possibility of reversing the crisis.

However, Li Fengyun used various means to convey to Ah Hui that the Turks besieged Fangcheng. The main army of the alliance also made the illusion that it was difficult to support the retreat of Fangcheng. As a result, Ah Hui was deceived and made a wrong decision. He got into Li Fengyun's trap and was wiped out.

Li Fengyun won not because of his high strategy, but because his opponent was too poor. Ah Hui made a mistake too low. At this moment of survival, you must be cautious in identifying the information. Never be impulsive, and you will die faster. Ah Huizheng was too impulsive and was eager to defeat his opponent. As a result, he made a mistake in his busy schedule and was killed by his opponent. So in Li Zixiong's view, Li Fengyun won the victory in Maogouchuan, and luck is part of his strength. There have been countless heroes in history, but how many of them wrote history? Which one is the best successor who can write history is not lucky? If Li Fengyun's good luck continues, he wins repeatedly in the battles outside the frontier, and successfully achieves the ultimate goal of this outbound goal, then the alliance and the forces related to the alliance are the winners of interests. As a member of the alliance, Li Zixiong is of course happy to see it happen.

Now the Battle of Maogouchuan completely changed the situation in Anzhou. The Xi tribe Ahui Alliance, the largest force in Anzhou, collapsed. The Fengyun Alliance, which came from the Great Wall, captured Anzhou with a destructive force and controlled Anzhou. Next, Li Fengyun's eyes were bound to be: towards Ruoluo Water, and began to carry out the second stage of the outbound battle, swept across the two sides of the Ruoluo Water, swept across the Donghu River, dominate the Northeast, and dragged the Turks into the quagmire of war.

The heroes' views were similar. As Li Zixiong expected, after Li Fengyun reported the victory, he analyzed and deduced the series of changes that were about to occur in the north and south situation, and then made a decision. First, establish a new Xi tribe alliance as quickly as possible, and use the power of the Xi tribe to strengthen the alliance's strength. Then he went north to the weak Luoshui, using the rivers and the horse army to walk on the good opportunity of flat land, sweep across the Donghu species, and snatched the powerful troops of the Turks before the Turks launched a large-scale attack, and cut off the Turks' arm, and fully prepared for fighting against the Turks next year.

Li Fengyun thought of it, and Li Zixiong also thought of it, but Li Fengyun's speed of going north was too fast, and it was too lightning to cover his ears. As soon as the battle of Maogouchuan was over, tens of thousands of troops rumbled to start the northward conquest. If everything went well, the next battle would be one after another, and it would not stop. Wherever the troops went, there would be smoke everywhere and corpses everywhere. The only thing that could stop Li Fengyun from moving forward was food and grass weapons. Once the supply of food and grass weapons was not enough, Li Fengyun would be unable to sustain and the attack target could not be completed, and the situation next year would be difficult.

Therefore, the purpose of Li Fengyun's letter of victory was very clear. Li Zixiong needed to try his best to win more support in the Great Wall at all costs and support him in completing the second phase of the goal of going out to the frontier. Only in this way can the alliance resist the attacks of the Turks next year and hold on to the results of the battle. Only by holding on to the results of the battle can the alliance kill the enemy and make contributions in the upcoming battle between the North and the South. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk and all expected goals will be out of reach.

Li Zixiong couldn't help but want to curse. Now he really felt Li Fengyun's madness. This madness is not something that ordinary people can imagine. From this, I thought that the Yulin Storm, Gao Bing, He Ruobi and other large number of meritorious officials died in that storm. The conservative forces in the court suffered unprecedented heavy damage. The key figure was Li Fengyun. It was Li Fengyun who revealed the Yuwen brothers' confusion that the Yuwen brothers were connected to the foreign countries and went to the desert.

The people secretly sold heavy weapons and shot the "first arrow" at the radical reformists headed by the Holy Lord, causing the situation to get out of control and the storm to a sudden start. The serious consequences and bad effects caused by this storm have not yet dissipated until now. The decline of Qi, Yang Xuangan's mutiny and Li Zixiong's disaster were actually caused by the dangers of this storm. The root of it is still in the struggle between reform and conservatism, and the fierce confrontation between centralization and gentry politics.

Li Fengyun suddenly proposed to attack Anzhou in Shanggu, which made Li Zixiong feel that he was crazy. However, at least he still had a way out. He could not break through the Turkic obstacles and retreat to Huaihuang without being wiped out. So Li Zixiong could still accept it and provide support. However, this time it was different. This time, tens of thousands of troops heading north to Ruoluo River, and it was winter. The primary problem was the supply and transportation of food and grass weapons, which could not be solved at all. Even if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee gave support, the Zhuo County Left-Guard Office organized people to send food and grass weapons to Gubeikou, but what should I do next?

From Gubeikou to Songshan Pass, about 800 miles, Anzhou can organize manpower transportation, but after leaving Songshan and then to Ruoluo River, the distance is different. Among them, it is about 400 miles to Changle City, an important city upstream of the Ruoluo River controlled by the Wuluo River. When crossing the Tuohechen River to Longshan City controlled by the Khitans, if you go east to chase the Khitans and go to Wucheng, the important city in Ruoluo River, the distance will be as high as 1,500 miles. It is snowing and cold, and it is so long that it is a long distance, not to mention transporting food and grass, even driving horses and marching is difficult, unless you use war to support the war, burning and killing all the way, but when the Khitans and the Wu tribe see that the troops are in a rush, they will be unable to fight and will definitely be strong and clearing the fields and luring the enemy into the deep. As a result, it can be imagined that Li Fengyun finally returned without success. If he is not careful, he may suffer a severe injury.

Li Zixiong frowned and fell into deep thought.

After reading the letter, Yang Gongdao shook his head repeatedly, unbelievable, "There are more than two months left before the end of the year, and Li Fengyun has to sweep across the two sides of the Ruoluo River in such a short time, severely damage the Khitan and the Citizens, and defeat the Turks Bulishi Asunaduer, how is this possible?"

Li Zixiong glanced at him and said quietly, "Two months ago, Li Fengyun said that he was going to go out to fight and regain Anzhou. Did you have the same idea at that time? Think he was talking nonsense?"

Yang Gongdao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe, with the lesson I learned last time, I should believe him, but..." Yang Gongdao clapped the letter in his hand, "This is winter, the Great* has descended. Although the rivers are frozen, the road is becoming increasingly difficult, and it is even more difficult to capture cities and villages. Even if Li Fengyun only takes the horse army to fight and raises the war all the way, and minimizes his dependence on food and grass in the rear, he will not be able to sweep across the two sides of the Ruoluo River in more than two months. This is simply impossible. Li Fengyun is a human, not a god, and it is impossible to create miracles under such extremely difficult conditions."

Li Zixiong stood up and walked to the map to concentrate on his thoughts. After a moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Gong and said solemnly, "I believe in him, believe that he can create another miracle."

Yang Gongdao laughed, disbelieving, but he didn't sneer, "I know that the crisis facing the alliance is very serious, and I can understand Li Fengyun's urgent mood at this moment. I also want to sweep across the two sides of the Ruoluo River in the shortest time to gain an advantage before the Turkic attacks. But the reality is cruel. We can use too little time, and the weather is too bad, the enemy is too far away from us, and the transportation of food and grass weapons is too difficult. In fact, we have no conditions to fight in an expedition at all."

Li Zixiong shook his hand, "The unfavorable conditions you mentioned are all from our standpoint, but if you stand on the standpoint of the Northern Lu Donghu, these unfavorable conditions are secondary. The important thing is survival and food. Therefore, every winter in winter, especially in the winter of the famine, due to the severe lack of food, the Northern Lu Donghu will go south and plunder, and even kill the Great Wall at all costs, and go deep into our Middle-earth border to plunder. Now we are also facing the survival dilemma in Anzhou. In order to survive, we must overcome all difficulties. We must fight bloody even if the snow is covered with snow and water turns into ice."

Yang Gongdao wanted to refute it, but what Li Zixiong said was the fact that this was a barren land outside the border, and it was a battle with the Northern Heroes and Donghu for the right to survive. You emphasized that the result of fear of difficulties and fear is death, so only by fighting to the death can one survive in a desperate situation.

"What are our advantages in this battle?" Yang Gongdao asked.

"The Khitans fought with the Xi tribe for more than two months, and both sides suffered losses. Not only did they lose their troops, but they also consumed too much money, food and weapons. In addition, the Khitans formed an alliance with Goguryeo and have always received support from Goguryeo. However, now Goguryeo is in danger and cannot protect itself, so there is no time to take care of the Khitan. So it is the best time to go north to fight the Khitan at this moment." Li Zixiong smiled and said, "Ah Huizheng also saw this, so he fought the Khitan regardless of the price. However, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind him. It was a waste of time."

Yang Gongdao nodded and asked, "If Li Fengyun successfully defeated the Khitans, will the Khitans be like the Xi tribe, and formed an alliance with us under the coercion of powerful force and use it for my own use?"

Li Zixiong shook his head, "After the Xi tribe went south to Anzhou, he was surrounded by enemies and was trapped in a corner, and his room for maneuvering is very small. At present, the Xi tribe had no choice but to form an alliance with us and cooperate for our use. But the Khitans were different. After the Xi tribe went south, the Khitans captured a large area of ​​land of the Xi tribe, from flat pine forests to Liaoshui, which was more than 1,500 miles from east to west, and hundreds of miles from north to south. They were allies with the Wu tribe, Goguryeo, Mohe, Shiwei and other Far East captives. They could attack and retreat or defend, and had a very large room for maneuvering. Therefore, in the face of our attack, the Khitans would inevitably retreat, lure the enemy into depth, use the vast land and bad weather to drag us to death, and wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack."

"I remember that the Khitans not only had a disagreement with our Middle Earth, but also had two sides against the Turks." Yang Gongdao said, "When the Khitan invaded western Liaoning, Wei Yunqi was ordered to pacify the border and borrowed 20,000 Turkic soldiers to the south of the river. He caught the Khitans off guard and suffered heavy damage to the Khitans. Therefore, when we went north to fight the Khitans, the Turks should not send troops to rescue them, but were patiently waiting to be a yellow bird. The Khitans should not wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

"The situation is different. Whether it is the situation in the north and south or the Far East, they are undergoing rapid changes, so the countermeasures of all forces are also different." Li Zixiong said, "With the decline of Goguryeo and the war between the north and the south approaching, all Donghu have to take sides. Considering that the Turks' influence on Donghu far exceeds that of Zhonghu, and Middle-earth has been expeditions for years. After the battle of Goguryeo, they have to fight with the Turks, and they need to rest and recuperate in the short term. Therefore, it is difficult to use Donghu troops.

Even the Khitan at both ends of the head rat had to bow to the Turks at this moment. As for the Turks, they would definitely not give up their interests in the Northeast. The Donghu species as their powerful sub-districts are also an important force in the war between the North and the South. The Turks must protect and support them. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the Turks will send troops to the Northeast by the beginning of next spring at the latest. When we fight on both sides and are attacked from both sides, it is naturally the best opportunity for the Khitans to counterattack."

Yang Gongdao looked solemn, "Since that's the case, how can Li Fengyun defeat the Khitan in a short period of time? If he cannot defeat the Khitan, he will fight with Bulishe Asatur on the north bank of the Ruoluo River and the Clan. Wouldn't Li Fengyun be attacked from both sides? Once he is in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, wouldn't this expedition be returned without success?"

Li Zixiong smiled, "You'd be right to think so. If the Turks, Khitans and the Jun tribes thought so, Li Fengyun would definitely win this battle."

Yang Gongdao was surprised and puzzled, "Why did Mr. Ming say this?"

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Li Zixiong smiled and refused to answer. "Li Fengyun made a decision in the war and then acted. He was not sure and would never take risks. Once the troops were in danger, it proved that he was sure of victory, so he believed him."

Yang Gongdao was skeptical, but he had no intention of asking about military affairs. Li Zixiong's statement was not his own. It was not credible. What was particularly important is that if the Great Wall did not support it, and if it was rejected in one go, and if it was not provided with food, grass and weapons, Li Fengyun would not be able to go north to expedition.
