Chapter 981 How can I lie to you?

On the tenth day of the second month, Cui Yu and Cui Jiu secretly visited Li Fengyun.

As the Feihu left behind the army withdrew from the pass, Cui Hongsheng's personal crisis was also resolved, but new problems followed one after another. Now Anton's interests were on the table, and all forces were salivating and rushed forward. How to make the wealthy families in the north of Hebei Youyan, such as the Boling Cui family, Zhaojun Li family, Fanyang Lu family, etc., seize more benefits from it, has become an urgent task. As the head of the Boling Cui family, Cui Hongsheng should rush to the front and do his best.

Just at this moment, Li Fengyun sent him a message through Cui Yu, hoping that he would participate in the third Eastern Expedition, and that the two sides would cooperate again to seek common interests.

Cui Hongsheng had no intention of participating in the third Eastern Expedition. The situation was obvious. The Central Committee had not made the decision to make the third Eastern Expedition so far. Even if he made this decision in the future, he had missed the best fighter opportunity. It was impossible to conquer Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo. The best result was to force Goguryeo to bow down and surrender. This was meaningless to Middle-earth, and it was not very valuable in military and political terms, nor could it help the Holy Lord and the Central Committee recover their face lost due to the successive failures of the Eastern Expedition. It was better than nothing. Therefore, Cui Hongsheng did not want to participate in the Third Eastern Expedition and did not want to take his political life as a meaningless adventure.

However, Li Fengyun was very optimistic about the third Eastern Expedition and even made bold predictions that Goguryeo would perish, and the third Eastern Expedition would end with the complete destruction of Goguryeo. This aroused Cui Hongsheng's interest. Li Fengyun was a miracle person. Just look at Anton's move, you will know that Li Fengyun is not only brave, has high strategy, but also has amazing luck, and luck is precisely part of his strength.

Cui Hongsheng was moved. What made him moved was not that he could revenge the revenge of Sashui's defeat, nor because of the political benefits brought about by the destruction of Goguryeo, but Li Fengyun's pessimistic prediction of the war between the north and the south.

Li Fengyun predicted that the war between the north and the south will not only break out next year, but also the two Turks in the east and west will attack Middle Earth. If this prediction becomes reality, Middle Earth will have little chance of victory. What’s more serious is that Hebei and even the entire Shandong have paid a heavy price due to the three-year Eastern Expedition. If the Civil War broke out again next year, Shandong will make it worse and there will be no time to breathe. The result can be imagined that the unbearable Shandong people are very likely to set off a tide of rebellion. Shandong is full of war under the attack of internal and external enemies, and life is devastated. This is an incalculable loss of profit for the wealthy families in Shandong.

Both the Boling Cui family need victory in the North-South War, and both require stability and unity of Middle-earth. Therefore, Cui Hongsheng weighed the pros and consented repeatedly and resolutely submitted the Holy Lord, volunteered to participate in the third Eastern Expedition, and was determined to do his best to win the trust of the Holy Lord before the outbreak of the North-South War, seized military power at all costs, and prepare for the North-South War next year.

Cui Hongsheng volunteered to move forward and support the Holy Lord with practical actions.

This move has a great impact, especially on Hebei, the position and attitude of the Youyan wealthy families will definitely play a positive role in guiding and promoting the position and attitude of the wealthy families in Youyan. The Holy Lord was very happy and immediately agreed, and ordered the Left Wu Guard General Cui Hongsheng to immediately rush to the Liaodong base camp to work with the Right Wu Guard General Li Jing, the Left Wu Guard General Xue Shixiong and others to make preparations for the third Eastern Expedition. He just waited for the order to be issued, and then led the Selected Front Army to cross the Liao River and kill Pyongyang directly.

Li Fengyun achieved his goal as he wished, and the next step was in-depth cooperation between the two sides. The success of the cooperation was directly related to the outcome of the battle. Cui Hongsheng certainly attached great importance to it, so he sent Cui Yu and Cui Jiu to Anzhou again to discuss with Li Fengyun in detail.

Li Fengyun no longer concealed it and told Cui the plan to attack Pyongyang truthfully.

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu were very surprised. This strategy of attacking the enemy was completely beyond their expectations.

The reason why Li Fengyun persuaded Cui Hongsheng to participate in the third Eastern Expedition was that he would lead a 100,000 Han army to expedition to Goguryeo and act as the attacking front to clear all obstacles on Cui Hongsheng's road ahead. Cui Hongsheng basically believed this reason, because Cui Yu and Cui Jiu had personally visited the Chifeng camp and saw Li Fengyun's true strength with their own eyes, and there were still tens of thousands of people on the Feihu side, so Li Fengyun was indeed able to gather a 100,000 army, but the key was that Li Fengyun must keep his promise, be willing to devote his efforts to the expedition, and be willing to lead a 100,000 army to expedition to Goguryeo.

Now there are only more than 100,000 expeditionary troops in the Liaodong base camp. In addition, the personal guards of the King of Qi and the Imperial Guards of the Holy Lord, the total force is only more than 150,000. Under this situation, if Li Fengyun brought a 100,000 army to the Eastern Expedition battlefield and rushed to the front, passing through the hurdles and killing generals, attacking cities and camps, it will indeed play a decisive role.

But how is this possible? Anton doesn't want it? Just rely on Pei Shiju to sing the empty city plan alone? Or, Li Fengyun intends to avoid the enemy's edge, hand over Anton, and runs to the ruins of Goguryeo to become king?

"Plan is a good plan." The twelve-girls of the Cui family frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked, "Since you are rushing to attack in the middle of the road, you must hide your tracks. The army must be few and strong, otherwise, you will not be able to hide your tracks, even food and grass. Since the army is few and strong, how many troops have you led to go on an expedition? Or a hundred thousand troops to go on an expedition to Goguryeo?"

"Of course." Li Fengyun said without thinking, "Without a hundred thousand troops, how can I empty Pyongyang City?"

"You dare to lie?" Cui Yu shouted sternly, "Who will lead an army of 100,000 to go to Goguryeo, who will guard Andong? Andong doesn't want it?"

"Andong is as stable as Mount Tai." Li Fengyun said, "When Xi Gong stayed in town for Andong, who dared to stroke his tiger beard? Besides, there are tens of thousands of troops who have just left the pass from Feihu. They are stationed on the line of flat pine forests and Songshan. They can block the Turks in the southeastern Yaqi to the west, and take care of the Donghu species to the north, without any mistakes. In addition, during this expedition, they will also bring the Turkic control strings of Bulissar Ashinaduer, and some Xi tribes, Khitan and Wu tribes to control strings, which will minimize the internal risks that may threaten Andong's stability."

The flying fox army that had just left the customs did not participate in the Eastern Expedition and wanted to stay in Andong? Cui Yu and Cui Jiu looked at each other, and a shadow flashed across their eyes.

Cui Yu's face suddenly became cold and he shouted sternly, "Grey hair, if the Feihu army stayed in Anton, where did you get a 100,000 army to go to Goguryeo?"

"Why would you lie to you?" Li Fengyun refuted without hesitation, "The first expedition between China and Earth, known as a million troops, how can there be a falsehood?"

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu were furious. They were negligent and deceived Li Fengyun. The 100,000 army and the 100,000 elite soldiers were all different. However, the two sides did not explain clearly at the beginning, but now they have different opinions, but they cannot tell the right or wrong.

Cui Yu laughed furiously and asked, "Can you tell me that when your 100,000 army arrived at the city of Pyongyang, not only did the food and grass be cut off, but the soldiers were even tired. How to attack the city? How many days can you attack?"

Li Fengyun smiled, shook his hand, and said leisurely, "This is a secret, so I can't disclose it."

Cui Yu was so angry that he was about to open his mouth and shouted angrily, but Li Fengyun reached out to stop him, "There is one thing you said very well. After a long journey of trek, a hundred thousand troops were exhausted and the food and grass might be cut off. If there was no way to win, attacking Pyongyang was purely seeking death. So please believe that although someone was brave enough to take risks, he would not ignore the life and death of the 100,000 brothers. He was still somewhat sure. Take a step back and say that even if someone could not conquer Pyongyang in one go, he would still have a loss with Pyongyang, which would be enough to pave the way for Mr. Huang to win the victory of the Eastern Expedition."

Li Fengyun's words were sincere, Cui Yu calmed down, and when he thought about it carefully, he was indeed the case. Li Fengyun always fought with all his might and fought to the death, and then he was born. It seemed like a desperate fight, and if he didn't succeed, he would be successful. But in fact, if he carefully considered the key, he could still find some fighter jets hidden behind the desperate situation. However, these fighter jets were even difficult for most people to discover, let alone capture. Li Fengyun's advantage is that he was not only able to discover fighter jets keenly, but also captured fleeting fighter jets in time. This is talent, an unparalleled talent, and he would not be able to accept it.

Cui Yu had to make a decision, but this decision was related to the vital interests of his father Cui Hongsheng and the future of the Choi family in Boling. He had to be cautious.

When Cui Jiu saw Cui Yu pondering, he asked Li Fengyun, "When are you going to go to war? Should you wait until the center makes a decision and the Holy Lord issues an edict?"

Li Fengyun shook his head and replied solemnly, "In ten days, a general will go north to Chifeng and lead an expedition. If everything goes well, at the end of April, that is, more than two months later, a general will kill the city of Pyongyang and catch Goguryeo off guard."

Cui Yu was surprised and blurted out, "So quickly? Don't you wait for the Holy Lord's order?"

Cui Jiu suddenly realized that Li Fengyun's wolf was too terrible. He probably had targeted the dying Goguryeo. Regardless of whether there was a decree of the Holy Lord, Li Fengyun's goal this year was Goguryeo, and he would use Goguryeo to feed himself. In this way, Li Fengyun must have made plans and a chance of winning. As long as Cui cooperates tacitly this time, he should be able to return with a full load on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition.

"End of April?" Cui Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "The center has not made any decisions so far, so before the end of April, the Eastern Expedition Army may find it difficult to cross the Liao River."

"It's indeed a bit difficult." Li Fengyun said, "Although Anton joined the third Eastern Expedition with a 100,000 army, which has effectively helped the Holy Lord and the Central Committee solve the problem of insufficient military strength in the Eastern Conquest. It no longer needs to recruit troops from the country, but the mobilization and transportation of food, grass and supplies still take time. Under normal circumstances, the Eastern Expedition army does not have the conditions to force the Liao River before the end of April."

Cui Jiu immediately asked, "Where will the plan come out?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, although the Holy Lord wants to destroy Goguryeo and wash away his previous shame, the reality does not allow it. Therefore, the goal of the third Eastern Expedition is probably to force Goguryeo to surrender with force. This can barely regain some face and not let the Holy Lord return to Dongdu in a shameful manner. From this, the Third Eastern Expedition will be subject to various interference and constraints, both at the central level and within the military. There are very few people who really want to fight bravely to destroy Goguryeo. In this unfavorable situation, if Duke Huangtai stood up and took the lead in crossing the Liao River without hesitation..."

Cui Jiu understood it.

Cui Yu asked, "I am the first to cross the river. Wouldn't it be dangerous to go deep alone?"

Li Fengyun glanced at her and smiled, "It's not your elders who went deep into the army, but someone."
