Huo Xiaohan couldn't understand, and he questioned Li Fengyun, "Is it possible that in the eyes of Ming Gong, the strength of the alliance is strong enough to compete with the elite troops of the Dongdu?"

Li Fengyun asked, "In the eyes of General Manager Huo, is it because the alliance's strength has grown? I asked General Manager Huo again, why do you decide that after we evacuate from Tongji Canal, the Tongji Canal crisis will be lifted, the Tongji Canal waterway will be safe, and Dongdu will no longer send troops to suppress the rebellion?"

Huo Xiaohan opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but then he thought of the many suspenses of the Battle of Jishui, and the repeated warnings of Li Fengyun during the repeated military discussions, and he closed his mouth again.

The battle situation of Tongji Canal is closely related to the political situation of Dongdu. If you want to see through the battle situation of Tongji Canal, you must stand at the height of the political situation of Dongdu from a downward perspective. At this moment, the alliance will stop when it is better and withdraw troops back to Qilu in time to develop is indeed in line with the interests of the alliance, but it is contrary to the interests of the political forces of all sizes in Dongdu. In this case, if the alliance flees regardless of the overall situation and seriously endangers the interests of the political forces of Dongdu, then the result can be imagined that the alliance will be besieged like a storm and will be wiped out every once in a while.

Li Fengyun looked at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice, "The Dongdu is powerful, and this is undoubtedly true. You are afraid, and you are also afraid, but if you retreat because of fear, how can you talk about the future? Then why did we raise the flag and build a rebellion in the Dongdu?"

Zhen Baoche felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He had no choice but to rebel at the beginning, and he had no choice but to die anyway. It would be better to break out and take a cushion before he died, and to make the government bleeding and suffer a little pain. But now the situation is different. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the alliance. As the commander, you can no longer be "bachelor" like in the past. Everything must be put first and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers. You must not know that confronting the army of Dongdu is seeking death, but you still rush forward to fight without knowing how to fight. Isn't that arrogant and hot-headed?

"Ming Gong, I know that it is impossible to do it, but it is not brave, but it is actually unwise." Zhen Baoche said this very uninvitedly

"Mr. Zhen said it well." Li Fengyun smiled, "We continue to stay in Tongjiqu, and we do it without wisdom, let alone courage. But this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The rules of this world are all set by the strong, and many rules are not suitable for the survival of the weak. Today's Dongdu and the Alliance are like elephants and ants, and there is no comparison. If the Alliance wants to fight against Dongdu, it is like a swaying tree, and it is purely overestimating one's own ability. Therefore, today's Alliance's survival actually has a prerequisite, that is, it must be a skin to the tiger."

If the emperor is a lion, then the wealthy family is a big tiger, and the alliance is a wild wolf. Lions and tigers have their own territory, and wild wolfs are just their food. If wild wolves want to live longer, they can only survive in the cracks of the strong and take advantage of the contradiction between the lion and the tiger to survive in danger. Now the tiger's goal is to drive away the lion, but once the lion is driven away, the tiger becomes the owner of the grassland, and the wild wolf's life is only a handful of times, so the life of the wolf is

The solution is very simple. It is necessary to help the tiger drive away the lions, but not to let the lions leave the grassland. At the same time, it is necessary to let the lions and tigers fully realize the importance of wild wolves to them, so that both sides want to use the wild wolves as a sharp knife to attack their opponents. Only in this way can the wild wolves survive. Only by living can the wild wolves become the owner of the grassland. On the contrary, if the wild wolves take advantage of the lions and tigers and turn around and flee, it will immediately become the public enemy of the grassland, and it is difficult to die.

However, whether humans or animals, they are selfish in nature, seek benefits and avoid harm, fear of death and enjoy life. Especially when facing powerful opponents, they know that they have no life, and they lack the courage to die before they die. As for the amazing talents who live with great wisdom at the critical moment of life and death, they are all legends, all legends, and have nothing to do with reality.

Everyone understands the principles mentioned by Li Fengyun, but they are related to their own interests, and everyone turns a blind eye to these principles. How can you make a profit when competing with a tiger? If a wild wolf can make a competing with a tiger, it must be a talented person, and that tiger must be a stupid tiger. But in the real world, how can there be a stupid tiger that you can peel?

Everyone in the tent was silent, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and they were obviously skeptical of Li Fengyun's decision. Now Li Fengyun's prestige in the alliance is at its peak, and it is unparalleled for a while, but the interests are in place, and no one has to weigh the trade-offs and will not easily follow.

Li Mi was anxious.

Li Fengyun kept his promise and insisted on staying on the battlefield of Tongjiqu, which made him very happy. Although Li Fengyun let Wei Yunqi go without permission before, which brought uncertain variables to the political situation of Dongdu and affected his comprehensive planning with Yang Xuangan, Li Fengyun was not an ordinary person after all. He saw the situation very clearly at the critical moment. The alliance army must stay and defeat King Yang Nan of Qi in order to win a political situation that is beneficial to the alliance. Only in this way can the alliance survive the most difficult survival period in the future. In other words, if the alliance escapes freely now and gets immediate benefits, but loses the political situation that is beneficial to it, the ultimate price is rapid defeat. On the contrary, if the alliance pays a certain price and seeks a political situation that is beneficial to it, then it will definitely give itself the opportunity to survive and develop in the future.

However, what is the political situation that is beneficial to the alliance? How many people in the alliance know it and know its importance to the alliance? Compared with the real interests in front of them, how tempting is it to the alliance? If it cannot conquer the officials of the Alliance Command, how much impact can it have on the generals of the 13th Army of the Alliance's Outer Government?

Li Fengyun has always asked the alliance generals to be sure to look at the problems on the local battlefield from the height of the entire Sino-Turkey political situation. This "preparation ahead" approach still plays a little role, but its effect is limited. After all, the generals cannot all be far-sighted and have great wisdom and vision. Although the generals have not publicly opposed Li Fengyun's decision, their wait-and-see and suspicious attitudes still seriously hinder the implementation of the decision. Next, Li Fengyun can only forcefully suppress different voices within the alliance with his personal prestige. However, the consequences of this approach are serious. Under the impending unpredictable pressure, the alliance may collapse.

Li Mi must do something to help Li Fengyun convince the Alliance Command that the Alliance Command must make the Alliance Command resolutely implement this decision, otherwise all the efforts made before will be in vain.

"The reason why we know it is impossible is not because we are stunned by the early results, but because of the reason." Li Mi took the initiative to stand up and give a deep explanation for Li Fengyun's decision.

"Since the death of Prince Yuande, the core of the political situation in the Eastern Capital is the struggle for imperial rule. The country cannot have no king for a day, and similarly, the country cannot have no crown prince for a day. However, six years after Prince Yuande's death, the position of the crown prince is still high. King Yang Nan of Qi should have entered the Eastern Palace for granted, but after six years of hard work, he not only failed to enter the Eastern Palace, but was getting further and further away from the position of the crown prince."

The most obvious example is that the emperor's expedition to Goguryeo in the east was far away from Middle-earth for more than half a year. Whether it is based on historical practices or legal systems, whether from the perspective of national security or the political needs of Middle-earth, he must arrange a person to serve in Kyoto as a state affairs. Even if there is no crown prince, a prince must be arranged, and then a group of central and important officials will be assisted to ensure the stability of the domestic political situation.

The premise of going abroad for an expedition is that there are no hidden dangers inside, and the premise of no hidden dangers inside is that the domestic political situation must be stable. However, according to the current situation in Middle-earth, the emperor remotely commands domestic affairs on the Far East battlefield thousands of miles away, with every detail and personal efficiency. How can this ensure the stability of the domestic political situation? With the emperor's intelligence and central wisdom, why should he take such a great political risk?

It is obvious that the dispute over the imperial throne in the Dongdu was too fierce, so fierce that it had affected the stability of the Dongdu political situation. However, the emperor and the central government were eager to launch an Eastern Expedition. At the same time, the emperor and the central government were unwilling or dared to rashly establish a crown prince. This made the conflict in the Dongdu very complicated and the political conflict was extremely sharp. So an incredible scene appeared. The emperor and the central government went out to expedition to Goguryeo. The emperor's palace became a moving political center in the practical sense, and the Dongdu was just a false appearance of a capital, which was actually an empty city.

The emperor set up an empty city plan, and there was at least a Mr. Kong Ming, who sang the protagonist in the empty city plan. However, today, there was not even a leading role in Dongdu. From the King of Qi, Yang Nan, to the left-behind slaughter, they were all supporting roles. A group of people who were so-called, no one could make the decision, and no one could make the decision.

Or, this is the purpose of the emperor setting up the empty city plan, but the ideal is full and the reality is skinny. Although these so-called people cannot be the emperor's master or the Dongdu, they can be their own masters. Since you dare to set up the empty city plan, I dare to go into the city. When I change the king's flag on the top of the city, you will not be able to do the matter of the Dongdu, and you may not even be able to do the matter of the Middle Earth.

Speaking of this, the result was about to emerge. The difficulty of King Yang Nan of Qi entering the Eastern Palace by normal means was even greater than the difficulty of him launching a mutiny to directly seize the throne. Therefore, Yu Qiang did not stop and did not break out in silence, and died in silence.

If King Yang Nan of Qi is determined to seize the throne with a mutiny, then it would be easy to understand that Wei Yunqi's defeat at Jishui will be defeated.

Wei Yunqi released the bait, and the alliance army swallowed it in one bite, and then took the bait. Next, the alliance fish broke free from the hook and fled, or made the meat on the chopping board and let the King of Qi Yang Nan slaughter it. Anyway, the King of Qi Yang Nan only needs a reason to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion. As long as he leaves Beijing, the army brings it out and the military power is obtained, then he will leap with the vast sea and the fish will leap with the sky high and the birds will fly, and he will do whatever he wants.

The key to the problem is here. King Yang Nan of Qi is a so-called man in Dongdu. If he wants to get military power and take away the army, he must win the support of a large group of so-called man in Dongdu. Otherwise, he will be in conflict with each other and he will not be able to get out of the "big net" of Dongdu. But how could the group of so-called man in Dongdu support King Yang Nan? How could they kidnap themselves in the chariot of King Yang Nan of Qi? So the reason why King Yang Nan of Qi was able to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion was because many people in Dongdu wanted to kill him, all wanted to provoke father and son to fight each other, provoke civil war, and deliberately disrupt the political situation in Zhongtu for personal gain.

This returns to the essence of the Dongdu political situation. The essence of the Dongdu political situation is the ruling class's struggle for power and wealth, and reform is the best way for the ruling class to redistribute power and wealth. The reforms that the emperor is carrying out seriously violated the interests of most aristocrats. For this reason, these aristocrats with damaged interests not only want to overthrow the reform and the emperor, but also overthrow the root cause of reform, that is, the great cause of unity in Middle-earth.

From this, it is not difficult to see that after the end of the Jishui War, the Tongji Canal will be interrupted. The interruption of the Tongji Canal not only gave the reason for King Yang Nan from the capital to suppress the rebellion, but also gave the Eastern Expedition a fatal blow. In the end, the Eastern Expedition failed. The father and son were killed by the deliberate political forces of all sizes in the Eastern Expedition.

Since the Tongji Canal will definitely be interrupted, since the charge of interrupting the Tongji Canal must be on the head of the Alliance, the "fish", where will the Alliance, the fish? Since King Yang Nan of Qi must leave Beijing to quell the rebellion, since he is determined to quickly strengthen his strength in the name of quelling the rebellion, the faster the alliance escapes, the faster the speed of his encirclement and suppression, the larger the scope of quelling the rebellion, and the ultimate alliance will surely die. The alliance was defeated, King Yang Nan of Qi took the opportunity to grow stronger, and the emperor happened to be defeated on the expedition battlefield, so the political forces of all sizes in the East Capital were more confident to "support" King Yang Nan of Qi to launch a mutiny.

Is this shocking prediction accurate? The alliance officials were frightened and were skeptical, but one thing they believed in Li Mi’s speculation, that is, the Tongji Canal was about to be interrupted. Even if the alliance army evacuated in a hurry, the Tongji Canal would be interrupted. Anyway, the charges were all from the alliance. So why didn’t the nobles of all sizes who were willing to disrupt the situation in Zhongtu and release the tiger in the cage of King Yang Nan of Qi out of the cage? Once this tiger was released, its ambitions would expand. In addition, the group of wild wolves in the East Capital followed behind, whether they were sincere or false, to "shake the flag and shout" to help their reputation. How could the father and son be spared?

So the current situation is a dead end for the alliance. If you don’t escape, you will die, and if you run away, you will die. If that’s the case, then what else can you escape? Yu Qian stayed on the battlefield of Tongjiqu and survived in the death.

So where is the vitality of the alliance? Where is the hope for the alliance to survive?

"Try your best, regardless of the price, and fight to the death to defeat King Yang Nan of Qi."

Li Mishishi's shocking words made alliance officials dumbfounded.

"Which forces in the Eastern Capital want to overthrow the reform and the emperor the most?" Li Mi asked and answered himself, "Of course, they are the nobles who lost the most profit."

"Which aristocrats in Dongdu have suffered the most losses? Of course, they are the aristocrats with the most vested interests."

"Which aristocrats in Dongdu have the most vested interests? Of course, they are the Guanlong nobles, and they are the Guanlong people."

"As long as it is what the Guanlong people want to do, it is what we Shandong people firmly oppose." Li Mi waved his hand and was full of momentum. "If the Guanlong people oppose reform, we support reform; if the Guanlong people oppose the emperor, we support the emperor; if the Guanlong people want to kill King Yang Nan of Qi, provoke father and son to fight each other, and provoke civil war, we protect King Yang Nan of Qi, and kill all the conspiracies of our opponents in the bud."

"How to protect King Yang Nan of Qi? How to kill the conspiracy of the Guanlong people?"

Li Mi waved his hand again, calm and composed, calm and gentle, as if everything in the world was in his hands, "I am on the battlefield of Tongjiqu, defeating King Yang Nan of Qi."

Defeat the King of Qi Yang Nan? Defeat the Dongdu Garrison? With the current strength of the Alliance army, confronting the Dongdu Guard Army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. However, there are many things hidden in Li Mi's words. If the Shandong people in the opponent's camp are on the side of the Alliance, secretly helping the Alliance, and pulling the Guanlong people, then who dares to say that there will be no miracles on the battlefield of Tongjiqu?

Huo Xiaohan no longer insisted on his own opinion, Zhen Baoche decided to wait and see. Li Fengyun himself is a legend. From raising the flag in Mangdang Mountain, to jumping into Mengshan, to going westward to Central Plains, every battle was a miracle. Since God favored Li Fengyun and allowed him to create miracles again and again, then perhaps the miracle would continue. If Li Fengyun defeated King Yang Nan of Qi, then what he created would not only be a new miracle, but also the survival and development of the alliance, and the hope of future kingdom and dominance.

Xiao Yi, the military officer of the Recording Officer, suggested that the content of this military discussion, especially Li Mi's in-depth analysis of the current situation, be fully compiled and conveyed to the generals and officers at the level of each general and above of each army to ensure that the generals of the alliance understand and support the decisions of the commander-in-chief.

Li Fengyun accepted this suggestion and ordered the general administration and officers at or above the level of each army to rush to the general camp in batches to participate in the military discussion. He discussed and analyzed the decision to fight bloody battles with the upcoming Dongdu army on the battlefield of Tongjiqu, and formulated a more specific and detailed offensive and defensive strategy based on understanding and support.

Wei Yunqi returned to Junyi City and reported to the emperor and the central government on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition at the first time. He told the emperor and the central government in detail about his journey to inspect the Tongji Canal and used the defeat in the Jishui River to reveal the truth about the rampant thieves in Henan. Wei Yunqi warned the emperor and the central government that Tongji Canal is in crisis now, and Tongji Canal will be interrupted at any time. Dongdu must send troops to suppress the rebellion as quickly as possible and use thunder to kill Shandong bandits. Otherwise, Tongji Canal will be safe and victory in the Eastern Expedition will be difficult.

In the memorial, Wei Yunqi did not directly mention the role of local forces in Henan in "stimulating the current Tongji Canal crisis", but he yelled at Shandong bandits, repeatedly using Henan bandits to allude to the Henan aristocratic group, and in fact, it has pushed the Zheng family of Xingyang to the forefront. It is not difficult for the emperor and the central government to guess the terror of the situation in the Central Plains and its immeasurable impact on the political situation in the Dongdu. Forced by the tension in the situation in the Dongdu and the surrounding areas of the capital, the importance of the Tongji Canal to the eastern expedition, and the sudden outbreak of the conflict between the Guanlong people and the Shandong people, the emperor and the central government must allow King Yang Nan of Qi to take action first and then report, and use the power of on-the-stop handling to deal with the crisis.

At this moment, the emperor could only trust King Yang Nan of Qi. The purpose of putting King Yang Nan of Qi in the Eastern Expedition was actually this. In a forced manner, he still had to use King Yang Nan of Qi as the crown prince. As long as King Yang Nan of Qi was well done and indeed played the role of the crown prince, the emperor and the central government were willing to let him see the hope of entering the Eastern Palace. After all, after so many hardships, King Yang Nan of Qi should be mature politically, and he should know what kind of governance ideas he chose to win the trust of the emperor and be a qualified heir to the imperial throne.

Wei Yunqi reported to the Dongdu again 100,000, and issued a warning to the King of Qi Yang Nan, the Minister of the Shangshu Province, and the commander of the left-behind commander of the Eastern Governors. The interruption of the Tongji Canal is imminent, and the consequences of the interruption of the Tongji Canal will seriously affect the fate of all the nobles and bureaucrats of the Eastern Capital and even the entire Central Plains. Therefore, Wei Yunqi begged the Dongdu to temporarily shelve conflicts and conflicts, work together to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves, and make decisions to suppress the rebellion as quickly as possible, and be sure to mobilize troops out of the capital as quickly as possible, and be sure to protect the Tongji Canal as fast as possible.

Wei Yunqi hurried to Guancheng, the capital of Xingyang, to visit King Yangqing, and to the Zheng family's main hall in Xingyang.

In the battle of Jishui, Wei Yunqi publicly showed off the King of Xun and Zheng, and slapped the royal family and Zheng family in the face. Zheng family was always in a passive state. Whether it was political alliance or military help, they were passively responding. Now, they only had to slap Wei in the face naked, and they could only slap their teeth and blood. They could not bear it, but the royal family was different. Xun Wang Yang Qing was furious, especially on the eve of Yang Qian's battle in Jishui. After Wei Yunqi's suicide decision guessed his real purpose of going out to Beijing to inspect Tongjiqu, Xun Wang Yang Qing was angry. You slapped me in the face, which was actually an insult to my royal family. This was already unbearable, but you actually wanted to plot against our imperial rule and harm our country's fortunes. That was the revenge of life and death, and we would never stop until we died.

However, Yang Qing had no evidence, so he could only make countermeasures based on Yang Qian's inference. He believed in Yang Qian's inference and believed that whether it was the deposition of former crown prince Yang Yong or the mutiny of King Yang Liang of Han, he used bloody facts to prove that the dispute over the imperial regime was very terrible. In order to fight for the imperial regime, all the people trapped in the vortex went crazy. Only they could not do it, and nothing they could not imagine.

The Eastern Expedition is related to the safety of the country and the fate of the Middle Earth. Once the Eastern Expedition fails, the consequences are unimaginable. However, among those unimaginable consequences, they must include the change of imperial dynasty and even the replacement of dynasties. Therefore, Yang Qing had no choice. He must ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal and the victory of the Eastern Expedition. For this reason, all those who endanger the safety of the Tongji Canal were his enemies. Before, he formed an alliance with political forces such as the Yuan family and Dugu family, and his purpose was this, but under the thread of Wei's, he added the protection of the King of Qi Yang Nan. Now, King of Qi Yang Nan and Wei have become potential "enemy", so there is no need for him to continue to maintain this political alliance.
