On October 30th, Panlong Fort, Anzhou.

Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao received a letter from Li Fengyun and were very surprised and their confidence in the northern expedition of the Ruoluo Shui increased greatly. But what made them even happier was that Li Fengyun made concessions on the core issues of the negotiations, which showed that Li Fengyun had realized that Anzhou's rapid recovery and even the reversal of the situation in the Northeast brought benefits to Zhongtu, and also allowed the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to see the crisis of "raising tigers as a disaster", so they had to prevent problems before they happened and prepare early. In the matter of the Feihu Rebels leaving the customs, Anzhou actually had no room for maneuver. Li Fengyun had to compromise and exchange for support for the Northern expedition of the Great Wall. Otherwise, Anzhou's road to growth would inevitably be ruthlessly strangled by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee.

Of course, Li Fengyun's compromise was very limited. What he called "not refusal" was not "acceptance", but rather politely rejecting each other by procrastination, or accepting with conditions. This depends on the development of the future situation. For example, the Northern Expedition of the Ruoluo River achieved phased results, or the political crisis between the two capitals further deteriorated and the domestic situation became more chaotic. Anzhou could raise the "ask price" and force the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to make greater concessions.

Li Fengyun's intention was very clear, and he delayed it until the Beizheng achieved phased results, and raised the "asking price" and sought greater benefits.

After reading the letter and thinking carefully, Yang Gongdao couldn't help but ask, "Ming Gong, in your opinion, is Li Fengyunxing's purpose of delaying the plan? Is it true that the Feihu Army's out of seclusion or disagree?"

Li Zixiong shook his head, "It's hard to guess, but one thing is certain. If we start from Pei Shiju's position, Pei Shiju will definitely ask the Feihu army to come out of seclusion to quickly increase the strength of Anzhou and consolidate and expand the results of the war outside the border. Even if Li Fengyun is out of control and ambitious, as far as the current situation is concerned, especially in the unfavorable situation where the situation in the north and south is getting worse, he urgently needs support from the Great Wall, so he dare not fall out with the center. If this deduction is made, then in the end, Li Fengyun may still agree to the Feihu army to come out of seclusion, but his 'asking price' is relatively high. If the Holy Lord and the Central Government are generous, things may be resolved smoothly. Otherwise, it may affect or even directly destroy the third Eastern Expedition actively promoted by the Holy Lord."

Yang Gongdao thought for a while and said, "The higher the asking price, the more beneficial it is for us. Li Fengyun's plan is still good. Even if he receives our second letter and knows that Cui Hongsheng went to Gubeikou to negotiate in person, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee put heavy pressure on us, he will not change this countermeasure. At most, we will be more flexible in the negotiation process, and even directly state that the Feihu Army can come out of seclusion, but we must meet our asking price." Speaking of this, he looked solemn and asked solemnly, "Ming Gong, in your opinion, how high is Li Fengyun's asking price? Will the Holy Lord and the Central Committee agree to his asking price?"

Yang Gong's words contain puns, and Li Zi is ambitious to understand them.

In fact, this matter is very complicated. The changes in the situation in Anzhou and even Northeast China have involved adjustments to the defense and diplomatic strategies of China-Turkey. From the standpoint of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, since the changes in the future situation have been foreseen, it is natural that strategic adjustments should be made in a timely manner and responded in advance so that we can seize the opportunity to win benefits as soon as possible.

In fact, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have not only made strategic adjustments, but also actively promoted the development of the Northeast situation in a direction that is conducive to Central Earth, and ordered the Liaodong Town Garage Army to openly intervene in the Northeast battlefield and cooperate with the Anzhou side to fight against the weak Luoshui River as an example.

Correspondingly, when Anzhou and even the Northeast became the adjustment target of Sino-Turkish national defense and diplomatic strategies and became the new source of Sino-Turkish profits, Anzhou's political status must be determined, and the emerging power of the Major Alliance must be recognized. Otherwise, why should Anzhou and the Major Alliance be "wedding clothes" for Sino-Turkish? Why did Sino-Turkish all the benefits? Because Sino-Turkish is their supporter, and they gave support with all their strength? Sino-Turkish's support is purposeful, and it is to kill people with a knife, and to use the power of Anzhou and the Major Alliance to attack and weaken the Turks.

People, then what after this goal is achieved? Should we share honor and disgrace, or should we cook the rabbit and die? If the rabbit and die, we will cook the donkey, and use the Turks to kill the Anzhou and the Great Alliance, why should we still let the Middle Earth slaughter after the Anzhou and the Great Alliance grow? The result can be imagined that the enemy's enemy is a friend, and the Turks took advantage of the opportunity to enter. Even if the tiger in Anzhou and the Great Alliance does not form an alliance with the Turks, it will not be enemies with the Turks. At most, it will dominate the Northeast and wander between the two powerful people. This is very unfavorable to Middle Earth, and it will eventually be a problem to raise a tiger.

Li Fengyun has ambitions, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he will dominate the Northeast, that is, he will survive in the cracks between Middle Earth and the desert. However, a war between North and South is imminent. Whether it is Middle Earth or the desert, Li Fengyun is not allowed to dominate the Northeast. Therefore, once Li Fengyun becomes strong and becomes a climate, he will not lose his tail. Both the north and the south will do their best to fight for it. Even if he cannot win it, his opponent will not "capture" this "tiger", and he will definitely kill it with all his strength.

This is also the reason why Li Fengyun repeatedly emphasized the importance of the North-South War to the survival and development of the major alliance. Li Fengyun was determined to devote himself to the North-South War and win this war at any cost. If he won, he would trade merits for the future, and if he lost, he would intend to dominate. In other words, before the end of the North-South War, Li Fengyun would use the power of Middle-South War to develop and grow and charge for Middle-South War. This is something that Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao can be sure of. From this, Li Fengyun wanted to share honor and disgrace with Middle-South War, but did not want to become enemies with Middle-South War. Therefore, Li Fengyun's asking price was very obvious, hoping to get recognition from Middle-South War and hope to get public support from the Holy Lord and the Central.

However, once Zhongtu incorporates Anzhou and even the Northeast into the territory, it is equivalent to turning against the desert. The war between the North and South will break out soon. However, the Eastern Expedition between Zhongtu has not yet ended and is not yet prepared for a war between the North and South. Once the two Turks in the East and West join forces to attack Zhongtu and the East and the Middle and Turkey passively respond, the Great Wall is in danger and Middle and Turkey may lose this war. However, at this moment, the Holy Lord and the Reformers are in a political dilemma and cannot afford to lose. For this reason, they try every means to maintain the relationship between the North and the South and delay the outbreak of the Civil War. In this situation, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will definitely not accept and recognize Anzhou for all reasons, and will only secretly support and use the sword of the Great Alliance to attack and weaken the Turks.

This is the contradiction, so Li Fengyun did not talk about the "asking price" at all. First, Anzhou is now weak and has no "asking price" capital. Second, the domestic and international situation does not have the conditions to allow China-Turkey to accept Anzhou in the short term. Proposing this "asking price" will only bring shame on oneself.

However, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao were eager to return to Central China, eager to exchange merits for pardon, and eager to let the Holy Lord and the Central Government accept Anzhou. Whether the war between the North and South would break out immediately is not among their considerations. In their opinion, Central China was strong. After the outbreak of this war, even if Zhongtu could not win, it would not lose. At most, it would stick to the Great Wall and defend the enemy outside the national gates. It would not affect the country's destiny and could not shake the cause of unification. The consequences were far less terrible than Li Fengyun predicted. The reason why Li Fengyun was exaggerated was because of other plans. Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao said it was reasonable, but in fact he was disdainful.

"The content of this letter from Li Fengyun is actually only three words, and I don't refuse." Li Zixiong hesitated for a moment and pointed to Li Fengyun's letter and said, "There are many meanings of not rejecting, which can be understood as conditional acceptance. As long as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee give us satisfactory conditions, the Feihu Army can come out of seclusion."

Yang Gongdao looked serious and nodded seriously, expressing his agreement.

"We do not mention conditions. Of course, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee thought we were cowardly and would definitely die if we left the support in the Great Wall, so they bullied them wantonly." Li Zixiong stroked his beard and sneered, "Now, we have defeated the Turkic army on the battlefield of the ghost side, drove Chijishi Ashinaduna and more than 30,000 control strings back to the southeast of the radius, ensuring the safety of Anzhou, proving our strength, and giving us the basis for providing conditions."

Yang Gongdao frowned slightly and asked, "Ming Gong, Gui Fang's great victory, what conditions can we put forward?"

Li Zixiong thought for a while and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

On October 30th, at night, Li Zixiong and Yang Gongdao were invited by Cui Hongsheng, knocked on the gate overnight and went to Gubeikou for negotiations.

Cui Hongsheng was very happy when he heard that Li Fengyun made a concession. Li Fengyun's compromise meant that the Feihu rebels had already succeeded in leaving the customs. The focus of the next negotiation was whether the Great Wall could accept the requirements put forward by Anzhou. The conditions proposed by Anzhou were also very practical, which was to return to Middle-earth.

Cui Hongsheng had already expected it. In fact, as early as the palace was discussing the situation in the Northeast, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had already predicted this situation, and Anzhou would definitely make a return request. This is natural, otherwise Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun led their troops out of the frontier to take a risky attempt? Otherwise, how could Anzhou, which was not strong enough, resist fierce attacks from the Turks and the Donghu? Because of this, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee proposed the request of the Feihu rebels to leave the pass at the right time, because the support within the Great Wall alone was far from enough, and a large number of troops were required, otherwise Anzhou would not be able to stop the attacks of the Turks.

However, beyond Cui Hongsheng's expectations, Li Fengyun defeated the Turks and drove the more than 30,000 troops of control of the sixth century led by Chijishi Ashina Duna out of Anzhou, effectively alleviating the threat from the southeastern Yaqi Banner, temporarily gaining the foothold in Anzhou, and having the basic conditions for the northern expedition of the Ruoluo River. In other words, Anzhou has the right to make a return request with Guifang's great victory.

Cui Hongsheng was in a dilemma. He could not make a promise. Anzhou's requirements had exceeded his authority and had to report to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. From the central perspective, in the short term, at least when Pei Shiju returned from the west, Zhongtu and the Western Turks joined hands to form a joint attack on the desert. Zhongtu had already established a clear advantage in the war between the North and South, so as not to intensify the conflicts between the North and South, destroy the relationship between the North and South, and lead to the outbreak of the North and South War. In addition, the Central Committee had already made a decision on the drastic changes in the situation in Anzhou and even the Northeast. Or should they use the knife to kill people, or use the knife of the Middle-Turk rebels to disrupt the situation in the North and the North and the Turks, and even if Cui Hongsheng reported the request for Anzhou to return to Central and South, there would be no result.

Cui Hongsheng decided to procrastinate without hesitation.

Anzhou wants to conquer Ruoluo River in the north, which is very risky. Although it is successful, although the benefits are huge and the capital to bargain with China and Turkey, once it fails, Anzhou will suffer a heavy blow, lose its bargaining chips, and is extremely passive, and can only rely on the rescue in the Great Wall. At that time, Li Fengyun even begs Youyan officials to give the Feihu rebels a way out of seclusion.

Both sides were tacit and hit it off. Since they both wanted to delay, let's delay to see if Li Fengyun could make a bloody path on both sides of the Ruoluo River.

Cui Hongsheng rushed to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee overnight. Anzhou had already compromised, but proposed a request for a return. Anzhou had just won a great victory in Guifang and the northern expedition was imminent. Cui Hongsheng made a suggestion that it would be better to delay it. No matter what the result of Anzhou's northern expedition, the huge consumption caused by the northern expedition forced Anzhou to withdraw the Feihu Rebels into Anzhou as a supplement.
