Chapter 253: Seeing Flicker Again

Zhai Rang did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he rushed back to the barracks with Shan Xiongxin and others, summoned Zhai Hong, Jia Xiong, Shan Xiongzhong, Wang wanted Wang Bodang brothers in Han, Li Gongyi, Zhou Wenju, Wang Dangren and other brothers to discuss together.

Zhai Rang strictly kept the secret and just told them that Li Fengyun was going to withdraw from Mengshan. Li Fengyun considered the difficulties of the Wagang people. For example, they were all from Henan, and the soldiers under the tent were all from Henan. There was a gap between them and Qilu people and it was difficult to get along with them, so they were given free choice. Zhai Rang solemnly solicited the opinions of all brothers: Should I leave or stay?

Zhai Hong and Jia Xiong immediately realized that there was a mystery here. The best time for Li Fengyun to evacuate from the Tongji Canal battlefield should be when King Qi Yang Nan led his army out of seclusion. Now the King of Qi's army has spread along the line of Jishui and confronted the alliance army head-on. The evacuation is very dangerous at this moment, and Li Fengyun cannot not know it, so there is only one reasonable explanation. During this period, the negotiations between Li Fengyun and the King of Qi's recruitment envoys had a result. The two sides found the common interests and reached some secret agreement.

"The white-haired coach is gone. Should the King of Qi stay in Tongji Canal or follow him and pursue him?" Jia Xiong asked immediately, "Does the white-haired coach have any predictions about this?"

"Wei Baoluan wants to recover Jiyin County, so the army of King Qi must follow and pursue." Zhai Rang replied, "The White-haired Coach said that in the next few months, the alliance and the official army will surely launch a fierce battle on both sides of the Heshui River."

"Stay here, we stay in Henan, we can't leave." Jia Xiong said without hesitation, "After withdrawing from Mengshan, Baihai Zheng will be surrounded by the four sides of King Yang Nan of Qi, Duan Wencao of Lujun, Cui Deben of Pengcheng and Dou Xuan of Langya, and is in extremely dangerous situation. After winter, once the news of the victory of the Eastern Expedition spreads, the four-way official troops will inevitably attack Mengshan. The alliance is single and weak, and even if the white-haired general has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, it will be difficult to reverse the defeat."

Zhai Hong followed closely and expressed the same meaning. Wang Yaohan, and Wang Dangren also believed that it was safest to stay in Henan to develop.

Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin frowned.

They had expected that the opinions of staying in Henan to develop might have the upper hand. After all, there are thousands of people in the Wagang Army now, and money, grain and weapons can barely support it. With the current strength, coupled with the advantages of "separate place and harmony", and the help of Lihu Xu Shiyi, the Wagang Army will definitely become a powerful force in Henan and will receive the secret support of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Under the protection of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Wagang Army can be broken into pieces, and the leaders of each line can show their magical powers and develop alone. When the opportunity comes, everyone will join forces to attack cities and capture villages and plan major plans.

However, this is always a gangster who struggles for survival. There are only short-term strategies, no long-term plans, and no hope for the future. However, Li Fengyun's plan is grand. Whether he is whimsical or talks on paper, people always formulate long-term strategies around the future and plan short-term goals with long-term strategies. This kind of high-level, far-sighted and erotic and powerful means is the "right way" to make people see hope. Even if that hope is out of reach, it will make people excited and willing to fight for it.

Wang Ruxin was very hesitant and worried about gains and losses. From his perspective, Li Fengyun's future plan was like a dream and unreal, but if the Wagang Army stayed in Henan, it would always be a group of shameful rebels and had no future at all.

Bing Yuanzhen was determined and tried his best to persuade everyone to advance and retreat with the alliance. It is very simple. The Wagang Army stayed in Henan and was a group of small thieves, who were in danger of destruction at any time. Even if it survived hard, it would be difficult to develop. Although the white-haired Li Fengyun was also in danger of destruction, the alliance was strong. Once it truly developed, it would be possible to compete for dominance. Now everyone is a traitor, and they were caught by the government and died. In this case, what's the point of hiding and lingering? Instead of living like a rat crossing the street, it would be better to kill a big battle like a tiger going down the mountain, and perhaps you can fight for a bright road.

"According to the news received by the White-haired Commander, the current situation of the Eastern Expedition is not optimistic. The Eastern Expedition is very likely to continue until next year or even longer. This will inevitably intensify conflicts and conflicts at home and abroad. Internal and external troubles may erupt together, and the domestic situation may become increasingly chaotic. The northern enemy on the desert may invade south. Once the Dongdu is attacked from both sides and is deeply trapped in the dilemma of fighting on both sides, everything is possible."

Bing Yuanzhen detailed Li Fengyun's deduction of the future domestic and foreign situation, and finally said, "Based on the deduction of the white-haired coach, next year is the key. If the Eastern Expedition cannot end next year, the situation in China and Turkey will deteriorate rapidly and become out of control. This is a point that everyone agrees with, and I believe you can agree with it."

"Now we will return to reality. The reality is that we do not know whether the Eastern Expedition will continue until next year, and we do not know whether this year's Eastern Expedition will end successfully. But in October, after the arrival of winter in Liaodong, if the Eastern Expedition army fails to capture Pyongyang, then the Eastern Expedition may continue until next year. If the Emperor and Dongdu want to continue the Eastern Expedition, they will inevitably issue an edict to continue to recruit food, grass and people, and then we will know the result."

When Bing Yuanzhen said this, he looked at the people in the account and said earnestly, "For the future, we cannot make decisions hastily. We should make decisions in three months. If the victory of the Eastern Expedition ends in three months, it is proved that the deduction of the White-Haired Shooter is completely wrong and the alliance has no future at all. Then, in order to survive, we must leave the Alliance and return to Henan. On the contrary, if the news from Liaodong in three months is that the Eastern Expedition will continue, it is enough to prove that the deduction of the White-Haired Shooter is completely correct. From this, it is speculated that his prediction of the domestic and international situation next year is credible, and his vision of the future of the alliance is also possible. In this way, can we still leave the Alliance? Will we still give up the vaguely visible hope?"

All the people in Wagang were in deep thought and carefully weighed the pros and cons.

After a long time, Jia Xiong hesitated and asked, "If the deduction of the white-haired handsome man is proven in three months, will we still have the chance to break out of the siege of the government army and safely withdraw back to Henan?"

Bing Yuanzhen realized that his persuasion had played a role. If even Jia Xiong no longer insisted on staying in Henan, the possibility of the Wagang brothers following the alliance would greatly increase. Bing Yuanzhen considered it and decided to disclose some secrets. This was necessary and could help the Wagang brothers make the right decision at a critical moment.

"There is definitely a chance to withdraw from Henan." Bing Yuanzhen said, "But even so, it is difficult for us to survive. When the expeditionary army returns to their respective towns and garrisons, the government troops have absolute strength, and all the rebels will be wiped out. Henan is right next to the eastern capital, and the government troops have greater encirclement and suppression efforts. Our chances of survival are very small. In comparison, it is better to live in a difficult place in the remote mountains and remote areas of the Yimeng Mountains."

"In addition, I would like to remind you that you know too little about Li Fengyun. Judging from his command of the alliance army to successfully plunder Tongjiqu and his successful secret agreement with King Qi, this person's background is extraordinary, and from his deduction of the future, we can also see that he is very familiar with the political situation in Dongdu, domestic and foreign situations, and has a profound and thorough understanding of what is behind the political situation."

Bing Yuanzhen's eyes turned to Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Ruxin. These three people knew more secrets, and of course they knew what he was saying was the facts.

"It is obvious that the handsome white-haired man is not an ordinary person, nor is it an ordinary thief in the northern border." Bing Yuanzhen continued, "We all know that Li Fengyun has a close relationship with the Boling Cui clan. Although we thought before that Li Fengyun's identity might be extraordinary, it now seems that the reason why the Boling Cui clan established a close relationship with Li Fengyun when he was very weak is obviously another mystery, and it is an extraordinary mystery. Among them..."

Bing Yuanzhen looked at everyone, and everyone looked at him with a concentric expression and looked expectant, which made him feel a little proud, "According to a certain estimate, Li Fengyun suddenly appeared in the White Horse Prison on the eve of the Eastern Expedition, which was directly related to the power game between the senior officials of the Eastern Expedition. The Eastern Expedition intensified the conflict between Shandong people and Guanlong people. The fight between the two sides gradually changed from Dongdu to the north and south of the Great Henan, from literary fighting to martial fighting. Last year, Li Fengyun raised the flag in Mangdang Mountain, Liang County, and Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the flag in Changbai Mountain, Qi County, and Liu Badao,

Sun Xuanya raised the flag at Douzigang, Bohai, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande raised the flag at Gaojipo, Qinghe, and Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Zhang Jinshu, and other heroes in Hebei raised the flag one after another. This year, there were more heroes in Qilu, which is enough to show that there is no error in some guesses. Why in such a short time, there were so many heroes in Shandong raising the flag to rebel? Whoever did they make a rebellion? In name, it was the rebellion of the emperor, but in fact it was the rebellion of the Guanlong people. Who would make the rebellion of the Guanlong people? It was our Shandong people."

Wang Bodang was too curious and asked, "Who is that handsome white hair?"

"Those who can get along with the Cui family must be the wealthy families in Shandong, and the wealthy families in Shandong are the five surnames Cui, Wang, Li, Lu, and Zheng. Among them, Wang is in Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Zheng is in Xingyang, Henan, and Cui, Li and Lu are all in Hebei. However, because the foundation of the Lu family is mainly in Youyan, from the perspective of region alone, Cui and Li are the real Hebei rich families, representing the interests of Hebei people."

The Wagang brothers were shocked. Bing Yuan really had a clear meaning. He inferred that Li Fengyun might have come from the Li family of Zhao County.

Wang Bodang couldn't help but exclaim, "It's because his surname is Li?"

"It's not just because his surname is Li." Bing Yuanzhen shook his hand and said, "He was secretly escorted to Dongdu by Yuwen Shu. After escaping from the White Horse Prison, he raised the flag to rebel. Yuwen Shu was the emperor's most trusted minister. If Yuwen Shu escorted him to Dongdong according to the emperor's will, then it can explain why he wanted to create an emperor's rebellion and overthrow the Yang family, because he had a blood hatred with the emperor. As far as he knew, the only one who was hit by two generations of emperors in Shandong was severely damaged by the Li family in Zhao County, and the Li Delin, a branch of Hanzhong Fang, was even more hit and unable to recover."

This time, even Zhai Rang opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Do you think he is a descendant of Shandong's great scholar Li Delin?

"I didn't say, how did I know?" Bing Yuanzhen shook his hand repeatedly, "I only know that Li Delin's son Li Baiyao was a close minister of the crown prince Yang Yong. When the Holy Lord was the King of Jin, he had invited him to Yangzhou with him, but was rejected by him, thus forming a grudge. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, Li Baiyao was retaliated and his family suffered a lot. Therefore, if someone in the Li family in Zhao County rebelled, I thought it was the most likely that it would come from the Hanzhong House."

The Wagang brothers looked at each other, and were all uneasy by Bing Yuanzhen's mysterious speculation. Although it was too incredible, they vaguely felt that they could be a little bit behind.
