October 27th, in the afternoon, Guifang, Anzhou.

On the vast snowy field, the Turkic army was like a big snake stretching for more than ten miles, traveling west rapidly. In front, back and forth, left and right of the big snake, the middle earth horse army was like hungry wild wolves, running and roaring in the wind and snow, spreading their fangs and sharp teeth, and pounced on the big snake again and again, pulling and biting, and doing their best to kill prey.

Although the Turks were passive and had low morale, the string controls were long-standing and had rich combat experience. The more dangerous the moment, the more they were, the more they were, they would be in a group and defend to the death. Therefore, the morale of the army had not dispersed. The troops supported each other, responded to each other, retreated in an orderly manner, and defense was orderly. From time to time, they clenched their fists and launched a fierce counterattack, giving the evil wolf rushing from all directions.

The two sides were coming and going, and the sound of killing shook the sky. As time passed, the soldiers on both sides gradually disappeared into the forest, and the distance between the ghosts became farther and farther away.

In Donghu Shou, Li Fengyun commanded the infantry corps of the alliance to clean up the battlefield, confiscate the spoils, and wait for the good news of the pursuit of the army. At the same time, he reported the good news to the Fangcheng General Administration Office and Li Zixiong of Panlong Fort.

At this moment, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao's joint letter was delivered to the commander-in-chief, informing the content of the negotiations with Gubeikou on October 24. The Great Wall supported Anzhou's northern expedition to Ruoluo River and cooperated in the Liaodong direction, hoping that Anzhou could achieve the expected results, but the Great Wall hoped that Anzhou would ensure that this result was not lost. For this reason, the Great Wall put forward requirements to withdraw the Feihu rebels into Anzhou before the end of the year, so as to improve the overall strength of Anzhou in the shortest time.

As for why the Great Wall was determined to solve the hidden danger of the Flying Fox Rebels, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao also explained that the main reason should be that the Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin was appointed as emperor based on Wujun, which caused an extremely bad impact, which woke up the alarm bell for the Holy Lord and the Central Government, worried that the great cause of Central China and Earth would collapse, and that Central China would fall into division and war. The northern border was the front line of the war between the North and the South, and the Great Wall was the barrier of the unification of Middle-earth. There should be no mistakes. In order to prevent problems before they happen, the Holy Lord and the Central Government would of course quickly eliminate the hidden danger of the Flying Fox Rebels.

Seeing the name of Liu Yuanjin, the thief in Jiangnan, Li Fengyun couldn't help but think of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou. I wonder if the two brothers are doing well in the Jianghuai area now. After all, their active location is near Jiangdu, and Jiangdu is the number one important city in Jiangzuo, and it is actually a garrison for the capital. It is indeed not conducive to the early development of the team.

The idea of ​​Qi passed by, and then Li Fengyun had an unknown premonition, feeling that what he had planned before, using the three forces of Qi, Feihu Rebels and Anzhou to form a response between Youyan and the Northeast inside and outside the Great Wall, so that after the war between the North and South, the plan to quickly control Youyan to dominate the northern border may suffer a heavy blow. The reason is that he was too optimistic about the domestic situation and ignored the fact that he had divided the leaders of various rebels and proclaimed himself emperors, quickly kicking off the prelude to splitting and war, seriously shaking the foundation of the country's destiny and violently impacting the cause of unification. In the face of this crisis, the Holy Lord and the Central Government would inevitably use all their strength to save him. This is the reason why the Holy Lord and the Central Government were out of normalcy and strongly and firmly demanded that the Feihu Rebels leave the customs.

Compared with the country's destiny and the great cause of unification, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would rather lose the war between the north and the south than watch the country's destiny and the great cause of unification be divided.

This is a dead end. If Anzhou refuses the Feihu rebels from leaving the customs, it will cause a series of chain reactions. For example, the Great Wall will cut off support and use the power of the Turks and Donghu to trap Anzhou. At the same time, the encirclement and suppression of the Feihu rebels will be launched, and the King of Qi's border patrol will also end. All these "reactions" are not good for Anzhou. Li Fengyun's "wishful abacus" is completely lost, and his future plans will also fail.

The two evils are the least. Today, Anzhou is weak and cannot escape this dead end. Moreover, it is not the opponent of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee. The only way to break the dead end is to accept this condition, continue to win the support of the Great Wall, and grow rapidly. There is still a possibility of controlling Youyan to dominate the northern border in the future, otherwise the prospect will be very pessimistic.

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time and replied to Li Zixiong and Yang Gong. Don’t refuse, but bargain, make sure that you see hope in the Great Wall and always provide support to Anzhou. If the northern expedition to Ruoluo River achieves phased results, the more chips Anzhou has in his hands and the greater the room for bargaining.

Of course, since the Holy Lord and the Central Master gave the time limit for the Feihu Left Legion to leave the Pass, there was no room for change for Anzhou. They could only make other plans and could only find ways from the Feihu Left Legion itself and the King of Qi. For example, reaching a consensus within the Feihu Left Legion and refusing to leave the Pass. For example, the King of Qi and the Feihu Left Legion attacked inside and outside, strongly seizing control of Yanbei, intensifying the conflict with the Saint Lord, the Central Master and the Zhuo County Legion, so that the Feihu Legion can be left in the Great Wall.

So Li Fengyun urgently wrote to Xiao Yi of the General Administration to inform Li Sixing of this countermeasure and asked Li Sixing to enter the pass immediately and contact the King of Qi and the Feihu Left Legion as quickly as possible, and try his best to persuade the King of Qi and the rich coaches of Feihu to implement this countermeasure. After all, the situation outside the border is dangerous, and the Flyhu Legion's future is uncertain, and it is even a life-threatening death. The King of Qi loses the powerful support of the Feihu Legion, which also increases the difficulty of development and growth, which is also unfavorable to the King of Qi.

On October 28, the Turkic army was ambushed in the flat pine forest. The Thunder Second Army of the Great Alliance and the Xi tribe Ahuichuan tribe were unexpectedly attacked and caught the Turks off guard.

At the same time, the various horse troops of the Great Alliance who came from the battlefield of the Ghost were also "holding to the point" and surrounded them from all sides, greatly delaying the retreat speed of the Turks.

However, on the Taoshui line, Turkic reinforcements roared in. Tutun Ashide Mohuang, who was left behind in the Yaqi, gathered thousands of control strings and launched a fierce attack on the alliance army.

At this moment, Han Shiyan had received an urgent report from the scout, knowing that the Turkic army had evacuated from the Guifang battlefield and that his mission had been completed, so he did not hesitate and decisively ordered the entire line to retreat. The Leopard Cavalry Army took the lead in evacuating, the Fourth Thunder Army and the Fifth Army followed the wings, and the King of the Wushuo was the control string to break the rear and block the attack, and the battle and leaving, delaying the rescue speed of the Turks as much as possible.

On October 29, the Turkic army withdrew through Taoshui, and the Great Alliance army stopped on the east coast of Taoshui, and the battle ended.

On the same day, Li Fengyun's order was delivered to Pingdi Songlin, Mi Yong and several great axes to lead the second Thunder, and the Fifth Army temporarily guarded the Taoshui defense line and rested on the spot. After Zhong Xin, Huluba and Zuihe Wangyu led their troops to Taoshui to deal with the defense, they quickly retreated to the Guifang to participate in the Northern Expedition. The other troops quickly retreated to the Guifang to rest and settled on the Northern Expedition.

On October 30th, just as Li Fengyun was fully preparing for the Northern Expedition, he received a joint letter from Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao again.

Cui Hongsheng's appearance made Li Fengyun feel the heavy pressure from the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, who were "charged in the battle", obviously could not withstand it, compromised, changed course, cooperated with the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to put pressure on Li Fengyun, threatening Li Fengyun with the division within the major alliance, which made the situation suddenly become serious and forced Li Fengyun to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the good situation and waste all previous efforts.

Although Li Fengyun had made a decision before, asking Li and Yang to delay the situation and not to reject the request of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, he actually refused. He just changed his method and tried to jointly control the situation in Yanbei through the Feihu Left Legion and the King of Qi, and indirectly achieve the purpose of rejection.

However, the Holy Lord ordered Cui Hongsheng to go to Gubeikou in person to increase the level of negotiation, which proved the Holy Lord and the Central Committee's determination to expel Feihu rebels and stabilize the northern border. The Feihu rebels left the pass and the stable situation in Youyan was also in line with the interests of the wealthy families of Hebei and Youyan led by the Cui family of Boling, and the interests of local governments at all levels such as Zhuo County's left-behind office. It can be foreseen that the Feihu rebels will inevitably face the "encirclement and block" of the central government, local governments and local forces, and the difficulty of survival increased greatly. In desperation, the Feihu rebels would inevitably have the urgent intention to quickly leave the pass and meet with the main army of Anzhou.

Before Li Fengyun left Feihu, he had a secret talk with Chen Rui, Han Yao and Zhen Baoche, revealing that the use of the King of Qi, Feihu and Anzhou three forces echoed the plan inside and outside the Great Wall. Because he didn't know whether this outbound could capture Anzhou, this plan was just a paper talk, and few people knew about it. Now Anzhou has been captured, but its foothold has not yet stabilized and it will take some time to consolidate the results of the battle. Therefore, the Feihu Legion does not have the conditions for leaving the customs. In other words, Chen Rui, Han Yao and Zhen Baoche should not have publicly implemented Li Fengyun's "three-party call"

In response to the plan, the remaining heroes and heroes have not told the mission of the remaining heroes and heroes to stick to Yanbei, rather than to go out of seclusion and join the main force. In this case, if the central government, local governments and local forces use various means to tempt, instigate and coerce the remaining heroes and heroes to quickly leave the seclusion, then Chen Rui, Han Yao and Zhen Baoche, under the general trend, even if they insist on staying in the remaining Feihu, they may not receive the response from most people. In the end, they can only put pressure on Anzhou with the rich and heroes, forcing Li Fengyun to agree to their departure.

Yuan An was worried when he saw Li Fengyun frowning and couldn't help but remind him, "Ming Gong, the current situation inside and outside the Great Wall is very unfavorable to us. If you want to break it, you can't hesitate."

"What suggestions do you have?" Li Fengyun asked.

Yuan An hesitated for a moment and said, "Ming Gong, the key to whether the Flying Fox Legion can stay in Yanbei is the King of Qi. If the King of Qi is under the pressure of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, he is indecisive and dare not join forces with the Flying Fox Legion to control Yanbei, the Flying Fox Legion will fight alone and will be difficult to persist. In this case, it is better to turn passive into activeness, accept the conditions of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, and quickly withdraw the Flying Fox Legion into Anzhou to strengthen the strength of our alliance."

Li Fengyun glanced at Yuan An and smiled, "Do you have no confidence in King Qi?"

"They are father and son, family, and we are rebels, and enemies of their family." Yuan An said, "At the critical moment, the choice of King Qi will definitely be unfavorable to us."

Li Fengyun nodded, "However, the Flying Fox Legion came out of seclusion, and the alliance seemed to grow stronger, but in fact it was completely passive. Anzhou was the fish on the chopping board, and was allowed to be slaughtered by the Holy Lord. Therefore, before the Flying Fox Legion came out of seclusion, we must come up with effective countermeasures to regain the initiative, otherwise we will definitely die."

Yuan An sighed bitterly and could not do anything.

Li Fengyun replied to Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao, insisting on the established countermeasures, not refusing, but not agreeing, and firmly grasping the initiative in negotiations. Only after ensuring the interests of Anzhou and ensuring the survival and development of the major alliance can we accept the conditions of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee and withdraw the Flying Fox Legion into Anzhou. If we want to achieve this goal, the Northern Expedition must achieve phased results, otherwise the alliance will have too few bargaining chips and too little room for bargaining, and it will be impossible to win satisfactory interests.
