Li Fengyun led Cangtou army to the foot of Dingtao City.

The officials and civilians of Jiyin fled when they heard the news. The wind and wind in Dingtao City were twitching, and the four gates were closed.

Xu Shiyu drove a flock of sheep to greet Li Fengyun on the hilltop five miles away from the city.

When Li Fengyun saw Xu Shiyu accompanying Xu Shisan, the captain of the Selection Corps, he was very surprised, "When did Dalang come to Dingtao?"

"It's been two days." Xu Shiyi's smile on his face was very stiff, and he bowed to Li Fengyun and said, "Brother is coming to kill with great momentum. Jiyin is terrifying, and the Central Plains is panic. I heard the news in Lihu and came to visit Brother.

Li Fengyun smiled and shook his head, and did not greet Xu Shiyi. He asked straight to the point, "I have already waved my troops. When will Zhai Fasi stop raising the flag?"

Xu Shiyi did not respond, his smile slightly lowered, his face was gloomy, and his eyes showed sadness, "Brother, the drought in the north and south of the rivers is severe, and the hunger is everywhere, and life is in trouble."

Li Fengyun's smile suddenly lost, his expression was solemn, and his tone was firm, "Time is no longer enough. If you want to save the people from water and fire, you can only move forward and kill the Eastern Capital, attack the cities and villages, open warehouses and release grain. There is no other way besides this."

When Xu Shiyi heard this, he felt even heavier.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic world. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Middle-earth has been deeply divided and war-torn for nearly four hundred years. Now it has finally been unified. The world is peaceful. Who knows that the good days have not been over ten years, and wars have begun again, and the cause of unification is on the verge of collapse. Why is this? Is there anything wrong with the emperor's expedition to Tuyuhun in the west and Goguryeo in the east? In fact, there is nothing wrong with the external conquest. The mistake is that it encountered a natural disaster, and it was a natural disaster for two consecutive years, which turned into a man-made disaster. The people on both sides of the river were attacked by the left and right of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the signs of chaos in the world have quietly arrived.

Although Xu Shiyi prepared for the rainy day after hearing Li Fengyun's prediction of this year's drought in Mengshan, he prepared a lot of preparations, when the disaster came, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people fell into hunger overnight. The little food stored by the power of the Lihu Xu family was a drop in the bucket. Under the pressure of the survival crisis, the victims of the north and south of the river had to save themselves, and only rose up and launched an "attack" the private warehouses of the nobles and wealthy people, and launched an "attack" on the private warehouses of the nobles and wealthy people controlled by the government, so the tide of uprising swept across the river. The private warehouses of the nobles and wealthy people were limited, so taking the Lihu Xu family as an example, how many people could its private warehouse support? Therefore, under the attack of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the survival crisis of the nobles and wealthy people was also serious. In order to save themselves, they had to rise up and attack towns and local governments with the victims who followed them.

But only those with a little brain know that this violent method cannot save itself, but dies faster. You rob the official warehouse today and eat full. What about tomorrow? You took a large group of people to rob all the food you can rob, but there are too many people who need to eat. How long can you last? There is only so much food. When you eat full, others will starve to death, and the people who starve to death will definitely far exceed those who survived. As for those who survived, how long can they struggle? The victory of the Eastern Expedition was over, the main force of the Guard Army returned, and their doomsday came. So this was a disaster, and the ultimate price was that the country's destiny, the national strength declined, and the population declined sharply.

Xu Shiyu could not find a good way to save him, so he could only watch the weak creatures helplessly disappear. But at this moment, Li Fengyun led the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance to kill him, which was tantamount to the bad situation on both sides of the river. The vast Southwest Shandong Rebel Army was like a whistling hurricane, leaving no tiles everywhere he passed.

Xu Shiyu's heartache was so heartbroken. Since you, Li Fengyun, have gone to Mengshan, even though you were burning, killing and looting in Lu County, why did you still run to the Central Plains to harm the people of the Central Plains? Aren't you taking advantage of the situation to rob? You are just a robbery, only caring about yourself and ignoring others. Do you know that when you lead the war to both sides of the river and burning to the Central Plains, how many innocent people will die because of you?

Xu Shiyu was finally a teenager. A young man full of ideals and conscience would definitely not ignore the death of the ants like a politician. Therefore, he was compassionate and was extremely distressed by the miserable current situation in front of him. He even vented all his resentment on Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun had no idea about his psychology and was still very optimistic that through the efforts of the young master of Xu, he established an alliance with the heroes of Wagang headed by Zhai Rang. The Central Plains Rebel Army and the Southwest Shandong Rebel Army will work together to develop and grow rapidly. This will not only help to achieve the goal of the Western Expedition to the Central Plains, but also help to compete for the future.

When Li Fengyun saw Xu Shiyu's mood, he was not happy about his army going westward to the Central Plains. Especially when he suddenly appeared under Dingtao City, he gave people a sense of surprise. Did I miss something? A trace of haze suddenly surged in Li Fengyun's heart. When he thought of Xu Shiyu avoiding talking about Zhai Rang, he immediately realized that the people of Wagang may not welcome his arrival.

Why didn’t the people of Wagang raise their flags to rebel? Why didn’t they welcome my arrival? Li Fengyun thought about it all, gradually gaining some enlightenment, and a trace of sinisterness flashed through his eyes without any notice.

After all, the Wagang people were still full of confidence in winning the Eastern Expedition. How could they not win? The Eastern Expedition was won, and the emperor and the central government had outstanding martial arts and their authority increased greatly. The expeditionary army returned with great victory, with such a strong and powerful force. Who could stop their sharpness? The rebels in the north and south of the Great Henan were just a group of native dogs and chickens in front of the powerful Guards, and they had no power to fight back. For the emperor and the central government, the rebels endangered the security of the country's destiny and were unforgivable. They must be killed and wiped out the roots, but the thieves are different. They endangered local public security, and the local governments were responsible for pursuing them. Although they were caught, they would be beheaded, but they would not have to implicate the relatives and friends of the clan, and they would not have to be buried with thousands of innocent people.

If the Wagang people had this mentality, then it would be enough to extend the local nobles in this area to the expectations of this area, and they would definitely have this mentality, that is, no one welcomes Li Fengyun and his Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance.

The disasters in this area are now severe and starvation are everywhere. Although the government is not effective in providing disaster relief, considering that it is located outside the capital, the image of a great country and the "coat" of benevolence, righteousness and morality must be maintained. Dongdu will definitely not want to see a large number of disaster victims pouring into the capital. Wouldn't that be slapped in the face? So in a desperate situation, Dongdu must definitely lend a helping hand. Dongdu has many wealthy families, and the capital is also full of giants and wealthy people, and there are many believers of Buddhism and Taoism. If everyone contributes money and efforts together, although it will not save the people from water and fire, it can definitely effectively alleviate the disaster and reduce deaths. In some areas with mild disasters, farming and production can be gradually restored. To achieve all this, the premise is stability. The counties and counties outside the capital must maintain stability.

If all rebels are rampant like the counties of Qi and Lu, thieves are rampant, and the government loses control of their jurisdiction, and the victims are even more swept by the thieves and are displaced, then how can we talk about stability? Without stability and order, how can we talk about disaster relief? Since Dongdu cannot provide help, and the thieves burn, kill, and loot, natural and man-made disasters explode, the number of deaths will inevitably surge, and local nobles and bureaucrats cannot be kept alone. The final result will be out of control and the situation will be a mess. This is just an early bad luck. When the expeditionary army returns, we will suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves.

The first thing to be cleared is the Central Plains rebels. The Central Plains is the capital and the political and economic center of Zhongtu. How can we allow rebels to be rampant? Then the war will come here again. Not only will the rebels die without a burial place, but even the innocent people who are carried away by the rebels will not escape. You can imagine that first there will be natural disasters, then man-made disasters, and then the Weifu army will suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves. You kill them, and I will kill them, and the corpses are everywhere and blood flows into a river. In the end, what else can be left in this area? The broken walls are broken, the ground is thousands of miles away, and there is no one in the desert. I guess there can be no few dogs.

The consequences are so serious. How did you ask Zhai Rang to raise the flag to rebel? How could you let Wagang bear the favor? Rebellion is not just about committing suicide, but also killing people, and turning your home into a hell on earth. This is not a dream, this is reality.

However, Zhai Rang did not raise the flag, did not rebel, or disrupt the Central Plains, which did not mean that the people in this area could be saved. From the moment Li Fengyun decided to lead the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance to enter the Central Plains, bad luck came to them and Zhai Rang's head. Unless a miracle happened, the nightmare would come true.

Xu Shiyi was waiting here early, not hoping for a miracle. He just wanted to express the true thoughts of the Wagang people, and just wanted to express the compassionate attitude of the Wagang people, and just wanted to do his best to innocent creatures with conscience.

"When will Zhai Fasi raise the flag?" Li Fengyun's voice was very calm, and there was even a faint smile on his face.

Everyone has their own position and interest demands, and Zhai Rang and Wagang people are no exception. Li Fengyun went west to attack the Central Plains, but in fact he was fighting for food from their mouths. Of course, they were unhappy. Besides, if the Eastern Expedition was victorious, this part would be on the periphery of the capital, right at the doorstep of the Dongdu, and the emperor and the central government would certainly focus on encirclement and suppression. By then, Li Fengyun could lead the army to retreat to Mengshan calmly, but the people in this part would suffer. Under the blow of a series of bad luck such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, there would definitely be few people who could survive in the end. Zhai Rang was reluctant to raise the flag to rebel, which was directly related to Wagang being too close to Dongdu. Now this place has suffered a lot of disasters and people are suffering, and Dongdu will definitely provide help. At this time, he is even more reluctant to raise the flag to rebel. However, now that Li Fengyun has come and has broken the situation outside the capital, Zhai Rang still has a way out?

"Where is the target of brother?" Xu Shiyu still did not respond, "Is it Jiyin? Or Xingyang?"

Li Fengyun smiled but said nothing.

"The disaster in Dongjun is serious and the capture is limited. There are strong guards in front of Xingyang and support from Dongdu afterwards. The strength is too strong. Only Liangjun's granaries are rich and the Tongji waterway is also the one that is in need."

"Are you persuading someone to change direction and attack Liangjun?"

Xu Shiyi forced out a smile and asked, "Does my brother want to cross the river and attack Li Yangcang?"
