Li Fengyun's expression changed and fell into Cui Yu and Cui Jiu's eyes in a slight way, making the two quite optimistic about the outcome of the trip.

Although the risk of going out of the frontier is very high, if you want to force Li Fengyun to compromise, you can only put heavy pressure on him in person. Cui Jiu's weight is obviously not enough, and Li Fengyun may not "buy it". This is why Cui Yu took the risk of going out of seclusion and Cui Hongsheng's tacit condonation.

After sitting down, Cui Yu couldn't wait and urgently asked about the situation of the Northern Expedition. As for the most surprised and curious Ashinaduer's rebellion, after seeing the Turkic army camp, she had already received a satisfactory answer, so she left all her doubts and had no intention of exploring the truth.

Li Fengyun did not hide it and told truthfully that the Northern Expedition had achieved phased victory, but had not yet achieved the expected goals. Next, the alliance army would continue to fight in the Northeast, using strong military force to deter the Donghu and other Donghu. At the same time, it would also have to deal with the threat of the Liaodong Town Garage Army. If the Liaodong Town Garage Army took advantage of the fire, the situation in the Northeast would be very variable.

Li Fengyun said the situation very seriously. It seemed that if he was not careful, he would fail and all his previous efforts were wasted. However, in Cui Yu, Cui Jiu and Li Sixing's view, this seemingly adventurous and radical northern expedition had miraculously achieved unprecedented victory due to an unexpected variable. Now what is left are some after-care work such as requisition and stability. As for the threat of the Liaodong Town Governor's army, in fact, even if it exists, it will soon dissipate. After all, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have set up the Anton Duwei Mansion and have decided to use Huairou to take Anzhou and Northeast. The possibility of suddenly changing their minds and resorting to force is very small, so the current situation is very good. The strength of the alliance has soared due to the great victory in the Northern Expedition, and can threaten Middle-earth with the ownership of Anzhou and Northeast.

However, this is not good for Cui. Under the current situation, if Li Fengyun insists on the established strategy and firmly refuses the Feihu Legion to withdraw into Anzhou, Cui will be in great dilemma and the consequences of being baked on the fire are very serious.

Cui Yu spoke out bluntly and went straight to the point, "Since the situation in Northeast China is so serious and Anzhou is facing a counterattack from the Turks, you are full of dangers and are struggling to use troops. Why not accept the suggestions from the Great Wall and immediately withdraw the Feihu army into Anzhou to supplement the shortcomings of its military strength? This move can also win the favor of the Great Wall and express the sincerity of cooperation. You can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop, so why not do it?"

Cui *'s "aggressiveness" was not taken seriously by Li Fengyun's expectations, and replied with a smile, "I did not refuse this suggestion, and I also hope to withdraw the Feihu Army into Anzhou as soon as possible, but you also saw it on the way north. The war in Anzhou was over, and the situation was very unstable. The northern expedition was not over yet, and the northeast was in chaos. At this moment, it was not the best time for the Feihu Army to withdraw into Anzhou. In addition, who will guarantee the safety of the Feihu Army on the way out of seclusion? If this problem is not solved, how can I issue an order to retreat? How could the Feihu Army risk the entire army being wiped out blindly?"

Li Fengyun glanced at Cui Yu who was thinking, then looked at Cui Jiu with a serious expression, and said with a pun, "I don't have the ability to ensure their safety, and they don't have the ability to protect themselves. This is the crux of the problem."

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed through their eyes. Li Fengyun compromised and let go. Although the difficulties he mentioned were true and seemed to be impossible to solve in the short term, since Li Fengyun said them as conditions, there must be a solution, but it requires the cooperation of Cui, and the asking price may be very high.

Cui Yu pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "You and I made an agreement to go out to the frontier to fight, and your son will support you in the Great Wall. I obeyed my promise and helped you in time at critical moments. It is also true that you promise and make righteous words fulfill your words."

Li Fengyun smiled and bowed to thank him, "Previously, Duke Huangtai (Cui Hongsheng) went to Gubeikou secretly, Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong) actually made concessions on behalf of the alliance. Someone also wrote a letter to Feihu, and he had to go out of seclusion. After all, someone was outside the seclusion and his control over Feihu was greatly weakened, and he did not dare to expect Feihu to follow his advice. In fact, there was indeed fierce contradictions within Feihu, and a pile of disarray was at risk of falling apart for a while."

Cui Yu nodded, expressed his understanding, and then said solemnly, "I am going out of the frontier privately and taking risks to Chifeng. I want to get your reward and get the promise you fulfilled."

Cui Jiu smiled bitterly and showed a look of worry. Cui Yu showed his sharpness and pressed him step by step, which was useless. Once Li Fengyun is angered, the two sides will be in a stalemate and will not benefit the negotiations.

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "The Twelve Women's hearts of helping each other in time, and we should remember it in my heart and repay it with a spring. In fact, the Alliance can achieve today's results, and the Twelve Women can conquer a world outside the Great Wall. The Twelve Women make great contributions. With this merit alone, the Alliance should give generous rewards. As for the withdrawal of the Flying Fox Army into Anzhou, it is just a trivial matter. Even if the Twelve Women does not go out of the Great Wall, the Alliance will do their best to do this small matter."

Cui Yu was stunned, Cui Jiu was also surprised. What does it mean? What pit is Li Fengyun digging?

Although Cui Yu was moved and was very curious about the so-called "rich returns", her primary goal of this trip has not been completed yet, so she did not hesitate to "take advantage of the victory" and "small matter? Since this is a trivial matter for you, it can't be understood that before the end of the year, the Feihu Army will definitely be able to withdraw all of them from the pass?"

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "You and I must be realistic, and it is difficult for a strong man to solve any problem. As I said just now, the Flying Fox Army must come out of seclusion, but if you want to come out of seclusion safely, you must first solve the crux of the problem. What is the crux of the hindering Flying Fox Army from seclusion? It is that our strength is too weak."

"Returning to Middle-earth is a gift for us for the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. They have the initiative in negotiations. They have the final say in everything. The result can be imagined. Therefore, if we want to use the current results to win the best interests, we must seize the initiative in negotiations. However, there are not many ways. Introducing the Turks into this negotiation is one of the ways, and letting the Feihu army stay in Yanbei to maintain a threat to the northern border is also a way. However, these methods are not enough, they are not enough to increase our strength, and they are not enough to help us seize the initiative in negotiations."

Cui Yu frowned, and just as he was about to argue, he was stopped by Li Fengyun, "Twelve Lady, to be honest, Cui's current crisis cannot be solved by completing the Holy Lord's edict alone, and there is no possibility of relief. It is meaningless to treat the head of the head, the foot pain is used to treat the foot, and the symptoms are not cured, and it is meaningless. If you want to solve the problem, you have to think of a long-term solution."

Cui Jiu thought about something, but he stopped talking.

Cui Yu was not deceived and sneered, "I have a headache now, so of course I have to treat it. Even if the symptoms are not cured, what if it is not cured? As long as it can relieve my headache, what does it have to do with you when I seek medical treatment? Tell me happily whether the flying fox army can withdraw from the barrier before the end of the year."

"Of course, I can make a promise." Li Fengyun smiled on his face, but there was a sarcastic look in his eyes. "But, please think carefully. If the twelve ladies want to fulfill their promise, is it enough to rely solely on some strength? The Feihu army withdraws from the pass, and does need to provide support and resettlement in Anzhou, but what about that? What about the Feihu heroes and men? Are the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of Feihu willing to go out of the frontier? Will the King of Qi turn a blind eye? Will Duan Da and Yinshishi master go back on their word and find an excuse to start a killing? The Holy Lord and the Central Master see that the domestic rebellion is becoming more and more intense, and they are worried about raising a tiger, and will they betray their faith and make a move behind their backs? From this, if the Feihu army wants to come out of the pass safely before the end of the year, they will be too restricted, and the promise is actually useless."

Cui Yu was speechless, embarrassed for a moment, blushed and glared.

Cui Jiu came forward to smooth things over at the right time and asked for advice, "Bai Hai, what is the long-term plan you mentioned?"

Li Fengyun bowed slightly to Cui Yu to apologize. He did not intend to reject Cui's request, but the facts did not allow it. Cui Yu thought this matter too simply.

"The key to solving the problem lies in strength, but the growth of strength takes time. We now don't even have the strength to bargain with Zhongtu. As long as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee jammed our necks and cut off support, we would be done." Li Fengyun smiled bitterly, "The reality is so cruel. No matter how hard we try, we will do our best to fight bloody battles, but facing such a giant as Zhongtu, we are still a mustard ant."

"Since you can't solve the problem by relying on your strength, you can only think of other solutions, such as..." Li Fengyun looked at Cui Yu, Cui Jiu and Li Sixing, who had never spoken, said word by word, "I need what others need."

Cui Yu was puzzled and blurted out, "Perfect what he likes?"

Cui Jiu's eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of something, but he felt incredible. It was just that Li Fengyun had always been on the verge of danger. There were only things that people dare not do, and nothing he dared not do.

Cui Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "The third Eastern Expedition?"

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "The Third Eastern Expedition."

Cui Yu suddenly realized, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes were full of excitement.

Li Sixing was a little confused at first. The third Eastern Expedition was urgently needed by the Holy Lord and the Reformers, and was actively supported by the military. It was their political means to reverse the political decline, rebuild the central authority, and regain the face of the Celestial Empire. However, the resistance was too great. No matter in politics, military, economy, diplomacy, etc., there was no condition for continuing to fight against the outside world. The current domestic and international situation with internal and external troubles urgently needed the national policy to change from "military force" to "rest and recuperate". So far, although the Holy Lord, the central reformers and the senior military leaders have tried their best, they still cannot make the decision to carry out the Third Eastern Expedition.

If the alliance takes the responsibility of the third Eastern Expedition in the return negotiations, it is equivalent to helping the Lord and the Central Committee solve the biggest political problem they are facing. The Lord and the Central Committee can then focus on "restoring and recuperation". On the one hand, it stabilizes the domestic situation and alleviates the political crisis between the two capitals. At the same time, it can drive tigers and wolfs, kill people with a knife, drive the alliance to attack Goguryeo, and use Goguryeo's dying struggle to consume the strength of the alliance and win the greatest martial arts to eliminate Goguryeo at the lowest cost. It can be said that it can be said that it will be a killing of multiple goals.

For the alliance, with the strong support of China and the victory of the third Eastern Expedition, the alliance will surely usher in another rapid development, which is completely in line with Li Fengyun's consistent principle, and he will do whatever it takes to strengthen his strength.

Li Sixing suddenly realized and immediately understood Li Fengyun's good intentions.

If this plan is successful, the safety problem of the Feihu Army leaving the customs will be completely solved. In order to ensure the victory of the third Eastern Expedition, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, as well as local military and political officials such as Duan Da and Yinshi Division, will not only not secretly attack the Feihu Army, but will instead send the customs out of the customs.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Li Fengyun looked at Cui Yu and Cui Jiu and said earnestly, "If Cui can seize this opportunity firmly, not only will the crisis be resolved, but it may also be glorious again."
