Chapter two hundred and ninety fourth low-key
Li Fengyun knew Wang An clearly, but he had no intention of explaining, and Wang An would not believe it even if he explained it.
The purpose of this alliance is to go north, but only a very small number of people know the truth, and those who know the truth will not say it. Since ancient times, the butt determines the head, and the status determines the thought. For the same thing, the same thing has different locations, and the views are completely different. For example, looking at the scenery, standing at the foot of the mountain and standing at the middle of the mountain, the scenery will definitely be different. When you look down at the top of the mountain, the scenery changes again. If a person standing at a high place tells the person standing at a low place, the person standing at a low place cannot draw a real and clear picture in his mind because he has not seen it with his own eyes, even if he can accept the fact that the scenery is different, he is basically talking to the chicken and duck. Since that is the case, it is better not to talk.
With Wang An's status in Hebei, it is equivalent to standing at the foot of the mountain to see the scenery. His eyes are very limited and he cannot see the complex interest game hidden behind the political situation of Dongdu. This can be seen from his words. If he had broader vision and farther away, he would not have speculated on the purpose of Li Fengyun entering Hebei from the standpoint of an ordinary person, nor would he be worried that his interests would be damaged due to the appearance of Li Fengyun. On the contrary, he would try his best to use Li Fengyun's power to seek the best interests for the people of Hebei, the Qinghe Rebel Army and himself.
"The purpose of a certain person is very simple. Take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the fierce battle between you and the official army on both sides of Yongji Canal. When you have no time to take care of others, you will rob Yongji Canal."
Wang An asked straightforwardly, while Li Fengyun's answer was even more straightforward.
In fact, from a military perspective, Li Fengyun was really taking advantage of the situation to rob the north at this moment. However, now the Yongji Canal has been frozen, and ships traveling from south to north are hard to find. The plunder of Yongji Canal is just a perfunctory word. The people who really want to rob must be Hebei. Due to continuous disasters, the counties on the north bank of the Great River not only have barren fields and empty granaries, but also the population is very sparse. The victims are either dead or rely on plundering for a living in the ranks of the righteous army. Li Fengyun cannot not understand this situation. The current situation on the south bank of the Great River is actually more serious than the north bank. From this, it is inferred that if Li Fengyun wants to achieve his goal, he must step north, cross the Yongji Canal, and plunder in the wealthy areas on the north bank of the Yongji Canal.
After Wang An got the answer he needed, his mood became heavier. After he hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask, "Does the general understand the current situation in Hebei?"
Li Fengyun bowed his hand to the courtesy, "I hope to hear the details."
"The Zuo Yiwei General Duan Da is now in Qinghe County and is fighting with us in the Zongcheng area." Wang An was frank and told the full details of the difficulties faced by the Qinghe Rebel Army. Finally, he finally expressed his thoughts, "It is rumored that Duan Da has ordered that we must defeat us before the end of the year, and Dongdu is very likely to increase troops in Hebei. We are in danger of destruction. Once our Qinghe Rebel Army is defeated, will the general be safe? Is there still a chance to withdraw from Qilu?"
After all, Wang An raised his courage and proposed the intention of "cooperation" to Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun is the number one traitor in Central China today, and is "notorious". The Southwest Rebel Alliance of Shandong led by him is invincible, and he is invincible. His strength must be greater than the Qinghe Rebel Army, which "hidden his strength and keep a low profile". Judging from the morale of the alliance army crossing Hebei, even if they did not defeat the official army in Xuzhou, they retreated unscrupulously. Therefore, it is not wise for the Qinghe people to be enemies with such a powerful army. Besides, under the current situation, the Qinghe Rebel Army has been in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. If you want to reverse the situation, you can only cooperate with Li Fengyun, but the premise is that Li Fengyun must be willing to cooperate with them. For this, the Qinghe people will definitely pay a considerable price.
Li Fengyun laughed and asked, "Is this your personal meaning, or is it your Zhang Shuai's opinion?"
Of course, Li Fengyun has to seek cooperation, but he has no foundation of trust between him and Hebei Haoshang. It is indeed easy for both sides to establish a cooperative relationship, but whether they can truly cooperate or fight the enemy is difficult. So he is called Li Anqi. Li Sixing rushed to Douzigang and asked Hebei Hongru Liu Xuan to help. With Liu Xuan's status and influence, Liu Xuan is enough to establish a certain degree of trust between the two sides, so that the cooperation between the two sides can be effective and can join forces to fight with the official army. Otherwise, Li Fengyun would not dare to fight easily.
However, Li Fengyun has not seen Liu Xuan yet. Logically, if Liu Xuan was willing to help, he would definitely go to Qinghe as quickly as possible to explain to the leaders of the Qinghe Rebel Army the reasons and purpose of Li Fengyun's northward reinforcement, so as to establish the most basic trust between the two sides. Wang An, who appeared in front of Li Fengyun at this moment, would not be so nervous and uneasy, and even dared not boldly propose cooperation. Therefore, Li Fengyun guessed that Liu Xuan did not agree to this matter quickly.
Maybe he is still considering it. After all, his status is there. Even if he is "depressed" because of the political blow in Dongdu, he has his own ideas, his own views on the general trend of the world and the political situation of Dongdu, and his dignity and integrity as a scholar. Even if he has to "get close to" the students who are thieves in order to survive and join the thief, he must stick to his bottom line and will never let his lifetime reputation be left to waste, let alone leave an eternal infamous in history.
Li Fengyun was a little disappointed, but he could understand that he was indeed wishful thinking about this matter. With his youth and prominent "thief", Liu Xuan, who is the master of scholars in the Middle Earth, would not be willing to demote himself and assist him with the price of a lifetime of heroism? For the old Liu Xuan, he had only a handful of time left in this world. He died as a master of scholars. What remained in history was glory, and what died as a rebel was left to future generations was endless humiliation, so Liu Xuan's choice was unknown.
However, Li Fengyun still hopes for a miracle. In his memory, Hebei is about to usher in a climax of the suppression of the rebellion, and bloody storms are about to sweep the land of Yanzhao. Gao Shida, Zhang Jin said that Hebei heroes and other heroes will die in the attack of the official army. Dou Jiande, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita and other heroes of Hebei have fought a bloody road from the pile of dead and soon made a comeback. However, in the continuous war, the devastation of life is inevitable. Countless Hebei people died in destruction. Liu Xuan, the master of scholars, was one of them, and died miserably in the face of hunger and cold. Li Fengyun tried to save Liu Xuan's life and tried to change Liu Xuan's fate, because he knew the trajectory of history. He knew that as long as Liu Xuan persisted in living, as long as he suffered in pain for two or three years, he could usher in a new era and his final glory.
Li Fengyun's wish is good, but reality is reality. Liu Xuan knows nothing about the future, and of course he will not be so confused that he loses his mind. He runs to Li Fengyun in a hurry and becomes an "old thief" who can be killed by everyone. Without Liu Xuan mediated, the Cui family of Boling and Li family of Zhaojun were too fast to give secret "care" from top to bottom. The cooperation between Li Fengyun and the Qinghe Rebel Army was naturally full of risks.
Wang An hesitated and hesitated, and finally chose to tell the truth, "Donald Qinghe still doesn't know that the general has crossed Hebei."
The Duke of Qinghe was called by Zhang Jin. Gao Shida of Gaojipo was named Donghai Duke, Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan, and Liu Badao of Douzigang was named Bohai Duke, and Sun Xuanya, the commander of Bohai, was even more amazing. He called himself "King of Qi". However, whether it was "king" or "gong", they were all titles, and they were still low-key and had self-knowledge. They dared not openly declare that they had the ambition to usurp the country. For Dongdu, as long as they were not called "Emperor", they did not proclaim themselves "emperor", and did not openly establish a country, they were all internal conflicts and were still within the tolerable scope. On the contrary, it was to publicly usurp the country, openly use publicly to usurp the imperial court and to be enemies of the Yang Sui Dynasty, which was unforgivable. They must be resolute, ruthless and bloody suppressed with thunder means, and they will never be ruthless.
In comparison, Li Fengyun, as the number one thief in China, was the most low-key person. He was neither called "king" nor "public", and he appointed himself as the "major general" official position. The publicly promoted target of rebellion was not to usurp the country, nor to oppose the emperor or the court, but to "anti-imposed taxes and anti-corruption work" against the Eastern Expedition. To put it bluntly, the government "robbed" the government, and the common people could not survive, and the officials forced the people to rebel. The reason for this rebellion was low-key and could not be low-key anymore.
This gave Dongdu the greatest room for maneuver in politics. This is definitely a conflict among the people and a target of comfort. There is no need to kill them all. The reason why King Yang Nan of Qi and the Wei family in Guanzhong dared to take the risk of secret contact with Li Fengyun was also one of the reasons. Although the Holy Lord returned to Dongdu, he never transferred the Jiangdu army to the battlefield of suppressing the rebellion. There were also considerations in this regard. After all, Li Fengyun's slogan of rebellion could be used. Local governments used various tricks when implementing the central government's orders and used all kinds of means. There were many people who were corrupt and abused their power and fed their own pockets. Therefore, once it was used properly, it could effectively attack political opponents.
Li Fengyun exchanged his political low-key exchange for his military victory. The alliance's strength has developed to such a level in a short period of time, which is closely related to this strategy. However, Li Fengyun's low-key does not mean that other rebels are also so low-key. The "high-key" of other rebels will inevitably conflict with Li Fengyun's "low-key" strategy. For example, the heroes of Hebei are either "kings" or "public", and the marquis are even "flying all over the sky", with generals under their tents.
In the army, Li Fengyun not only did not claim his title, but even deliberately avoided the general and general with outstanding official titles, but chose a very "pragmatic and low-key" general manager. When the two sides cooperated, they formed a contrast only in the inconspicuous details of titles. The powerful self-proclaimed the general manager, while the weaker ones called the king and the prince. Isn't this the appearance of Muhou and Guanxu? Isn't this obvious slap in the face and embarrassing people?
Sure enough, when Wang An called Zhang Jin "Qinghe Gong", Li Fengyun's smile immediately became more playful, and a hint of mockery flashed through his eyes with uncontrollable expression. When Wang An saw Li Fengyun's contempt, he immediately became embarrassed and looked shy. He didn't know how to say the following words.
