Chapter 1001 Fatal Knife
On the fourth day of the April 1st, Li Zixiong led his army to Fuyu City. At this point, more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the Anton Expeditionary Army entered the battlefield of Goguryeo.
When the three Li Li gathered together, Li Fengyun first informed Li Zixiong of Huaiyuan's exclusion and resistance to Anton's army in detail. Although these messages were mainly Cui Hongsheng's secret letter and Fuyu's general Xue Wanche's hint, Li Zixiong believed it without doubt. Li Hun's attitude was the same before. There was no other reason. Both of them were military bosses, both were the commanders of the Weifu Palace. They both knew that the authority of the Weifu Palace, and that the dignity and glory could not be desecrated. The third Eastern Expedition happened to be a battle for the Weifu Palace to resolutely defend the authority, dignity and glory. How could Anton allow him to get into a shot?
Then Li Fengyun told the decision to take the infernal path to attack Pyongyang, and then solicited Li Zixiong's opinions.
Li Zixiong's attitude was exactly the same as Li Hun, and he firmly supported this decision. In fact, neither of them wanted to go south to meet Huaiyuan, especially Li Zixiong. After the meeting, he had to face not only his former colleagues and subordinates, but also his saints. With political enemies around him, he was full of dangers. If he was not careful, he would suffer from the disaster of life and death. Therefore, he was full of concerns, but because of Pei Shiju's power and Li Fengyun's strength, he was not convenient to reveal his voice. Now, in order to adapt to the new situation, Li Fengyun took the initiative to change the strategy of the Eastern Expedition, which just satisfies his wishes, and of course he agreed with him.
That night, San Li summoned the generals of the Expeditionary Army and the chiefs to discuss the military proposal and officially announced a new attack strategy.
There are many objections to this decision and there are endless doubts. Among them, the most questioned is the legitimacy of this decision and the food crisis.
The Anton Expeditionary Force no longer went south to meet with the main force, but instead attacked Pyongyang all the way, which directly affected and even destroyed the decision of the Holy Lord, the center and the commander of the Eastern Expedition. This result was too serious. Not only did it resist the order, but it was the crime of abusing power. Once the third Eastern Expedition failed and even failed, it would be the death penalty of beheading. As the highest decision-making level of the Anton Expeditionary Force, San Li was responsible for beheading, and the other generals and chiefs were also affected, and they would be skinned even if they did not die. This obviously harmed the interests of most people, especially the vital interests of Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and other in distress, which of course attracted a lot of doubts.
The Andong Expedition Army had a large number of people and a large scale. More than 200,000 soldiers and civilians consumed huge daily food and grass. After the Eastern Expedition was officially launched, the damage to food and grass weapons was even more amazing. Therefore, the serious shortage of food and grass weapons could not be solved by relying solely on Andong's own strength. Only by going south to Huaiyuan to meet the main force and the command of the Eastern Expedition Army was unified to allocate military supplies to effectively solve this crisis. However, now the Andong Expedition Army has to attack Pyongyang all the way, and relying on its own strength to support the needs of the more than 200,000 troops for the conquest. It is obviously seriously out of reality and is simply a dream.
Fortunately, even if Li Fengyun's direct subordinates had doubts, they would not openly object. After all, Li Fengyun repeatedly created miracles, and the invincible myth made them extremely trust Li Fengyun and almost blindly worship him. Most tribal chiefs were also convinced by Li Fengyun. In addition, they were very afraid of the Holy Lord of the Middle Earth and the Central Turkish Guards. It was obvious that the benefits of maintaining a safe distance from the bloodthirsty tiger outweighed the disadvantages. Therefore, the one who really opposed this decision was the invading nobles within the alliance. However, because Li Zixiong and Li Hun's attitude was enough to affect a large number of people, and in the end, there were only a few people including Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yang Gongdao, Yu Rou, etc. who were weak and unable to resist each other, and could only passively accept it.
On the fifth day of the fourth month, Li and Chen Rui, Han Yao, Yuan An and other senior executives of the alliance discussed specific attack deployment. At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly reported to Li Fengyun that the twelve ladies of the Cui family came from Huaiyuan Town day and night.
Li Fengyun was shocked. Something was abnormal. There must be something big about Huaiyuan, which would have affected the situation of the Eastern Expedition. Otherwise, the Twelve Lady of the Cui family would never be able to leave her father, take risks, and go to Fuyu to find him in person.
Li Fengyun looked solemn and left in a hurry without even saying a reason. This surprised Li Hun, Li Zixiong and others. A hint of haze flashed through his heart, and a sense of ominousness arose.
When Li Fengyun saw Cui Yu, he pretended to be calm and greeted each other intimately, but did not ask each other bluntly. After all, the two sides were just cooperative and their personal relationship was not deep. On the contrary, there were some grievances and they were both wary of each other.
Cui Yu was straightforward and straightforward, "Did you expect your arrival or be surprised?"
Li Fengyun knew that the incident happened in Huaiyuan was related to him as soon as he heard it. Cui became suspicious of himself. This may be the reason why Cui Yu rushed thousands of miles away from danger. Li Yun pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Of course he was surprised. I thought that even if we saw each other again, we should be Pyongyang. However, the army had not launched an attack yet, but the twenty-sex wife descended from the sky. It was really a surprise."
Cui Yu stared at Li Fengyun with his eyes, trying to find out from the changes in Li Fengyun's expression.
"You are cheating." Cui Yu sneered, "You are cheating."
Li Fengyun laughed, "Since the Twelve Lady has seen through it, let's tell the truth. You must have brought bad news to someone, so someone was surprised by your arrival, but not happy."
Cui Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Guess, what bad news did you bring to you?"
"From time calculation, the Holy Lord's car should be in western Liaoning and has not yet arrived in Huaiyuan, so if there is bad news, it should also come from Yuwen Shu and Guo Rong..." Speaking of this, Li Fengyun suddenly thought of someone, "Or, King Qi?"
Cui Yu didn't say a word, staring at Li Fengyun intently, not letting any change in Li Fengyun's expression.
"Does... Huaiyuan firmly demand that the Andong army go south to join?" But Li Fengyun immediately denied this speculation. If Huaiyuan firmly demanded the Andong army go south to join, it would not be bad news at all, and Cui Yu would not let go thousands of miles to Fuyu.
"Did Huaiyuan have decided to kill me, Anton?"
Cui Yu sneered, "Huaiyuan has clearly hinted to you that you don't want An Dong's army to go south, and you won't go south at all. Since that's the case, where can you kill someone?"
Li Fengyun thought for a moment, smiled bitterly, and bowed to Cui Yu, "I can't guess it, so I'll ask the Twelve Lady to tell you."
Cui Yu glanced at Li Fengyun and said with a pun, "Are you really unable to guess it, or are you deliberately cheating?"
Li Fengyun frowned slightly. Cui Yu suspected that he had deceived her, and there was no other connection or promise between him and her except for cooperation on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, if there is bad news, it should also be bad news related to the Eastern Expedition.
"Is there an unpredictable change in China that forced the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to change the decision of the Eastern Expedition, resulting in Yuwen Shu and Guo Rong having to adjust the attack deployment, and thus had a direct conflict with our Andong Army's raid plan?" Li Fengyun asked in confusion, "Is the time for the beginning of the Eastern Expedition seriously postponed? Or is the Eastern Expedition temporarily suspended?"
Did the history and reality in memory have a deviation due to their own appearance? Did the butterfly effect begin to appear, causing the trajectory of history to shift? Li Fengyun was not sure, secretly nervous, and even worried that the third expedition would die halfway.
Li Fengyun's performance weakened Cui Yu's suspicion, but Li Fengyun was full of tricks and cunning, and various methods emerged one after another. Cui Yu was afraid because he knew him, so he was afraid that he would be deceived, and that Cui was unfortunately becoming a victim of the Imperial War.
Cui Yu shook his hand at Li Fengyun, "No, no, it's not. Although things are not as serious as you imagined, they are also related to life and death. But I am very suspicious of you, and you have to swear that you have not deceived me."
Seeing Cui Yu rarely show his childish appearance, Li Fengyun laughed silently and refused without thinking, "No matter how serious the matter is, it cannot change a certain determination to conquer Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, so you can not say it."
Cui Yu changed color and said, "If you didn't cheat, why don't you dare to swear?"
"Why did you swear to you? What problem can you solve when you swear? If it is related to the major interests of both you and me, how can you do this trick?"
Cui Yu was furious, "On the white horse that day, you not only threatened you, but also almost killed you. You owe you a life. With this life, you should swear to me that you did not deceive me."
Li Fengyun was stunned, and a strange feeling suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, but in an instant, he strangled it again.
"As you wish." Li Fengyun stood up, bowed respectfully and swore solemnly.
Cui Yu replied in anger and was very happy.
Li Fengyun sat upright and said nothing.
"The King of Qi left Huaiyuan on March 26, and rushed north to Fuyu in the name of patrolling the border and comforting him."
Before Cui Yu finished speaking, Li Fengyun's expression changed drastically.
When the King of Qi went north to Fuyu, he would inevitably meet with the Anton army and attack Pyongyang with the Anton army. In this way, it would inevitably lead to the illusion of the alliance between the King of Qi and Anton. This political consequence was too serious. Not only would the Holy Lord and the Central Committee believe that Li Pingyuan was deliberately deceiving, but he also pulled Pei Shiju down. Therefore, with the victory of the Third Eastern Expedition, the North-South War had not yet begun, but the Imperial Unification War had already begun in advance.
This is something Li Fengyun did not expect.
The reason why he cut off cooperation with the King of Qi and persuaded Li Zixiong that Li Hun gave up his support to the King of Qi was mainly because the King of Qi first betrayed the agreement, and the King of Qi first "surrendered" to the Holy Lord, which led to the fact that all the forces supporting him were deeply trapped in desperate situations. In desperation, everyone could only give up the King of Qi's "big flag" and strive to win the Holy Lord's "slow killer" so that they could work together to fight the outside world, first win the Civil War, and then find a way out.
However, who could have expected that at this critical moment when the Eastern Expedition was about to begin, the King of Qi actually went north to Fuyu to meet with the Andong army. This move was equivalent to openly confronting the Holy Lord and publicly telling the Holy Lord and the Central Master that Pei Shiju, Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, Li Hun and other forces were all on his precarious broken ship. Everyone worked together to develop and grow with the help of the Third Eastern Expedition, and then jointly plan for the imperial rule.
This is declaring war on the Holy Lord.
And this was also a fatal blow to the ambitious Anton.
