Chapter 299 Houcheng Gathers Righteousness

Duan Da took the initiative to evacuate the Yongji Canal battlefield, which gave Hebei heroes a surprise. In particular, Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said that they had no idea of ​​fighting to the death with Duan Da. The reason why they joined Li Fengyun to press forward step by step and made a three-way attack was completely forced by the situation and had to do it.

The current situation in Yongji Canal is very unfavorable to the Qinghe Rebel Army. First, Duan Da suppressed the rebellion, suppressing all the rebels to breathe. Then Li Fengyun came to take advantage of the situation to rob. Fortunately, Li Fengyun was still righteous and did not take the lead. Instead, he took the initiative to join forces with Wang An to conquer Houcheng and gave Duan Da a fatal blow. Duan Da was injured, so he gave Qinghe people the opportunity to reverse the situation. As long as they took advantage of the situation, let Li Fengyun and Duan Da compete with each other, they could kill two enemies with one stone and easily resolve the two strong enemies.

However, the Qinghe people miscalculated, Duan Da evacuated decisively and did not give the Qinghe people the chance to plot against him. In this way, the Qinghe people not only did not reverse the situation, but instead worsened the situation and became more passive.

In the battle of Houcheng, Duan Da lost no soldiers and his army was intact. After he went to Xindu County to obtain food and grass supplements, he could come back immediately. However, the Qinghe Rebel Army exposed his true strength in this battle, and also exposed the truth that Qinghe was unanimous to the outside world. Duan Daqinghe suppressed the rebellion as "Xiang Zhuang danced his sword, aiming at Pei Gong". Now that he has a definite evidence, he must report to Dongdu for help, so that in the next battle, he can "achieve his contribution to his strength" in one battle.

The Qinghe people were suffering and were very angry. The deterioration of the situation all came from Li Fengyun, the "culprit". Now the line of Yongji Canal is full of haze, and the storm is about to come and the wind is everywhere. The situation is very tense. However, Li Fengyun's purpose has been achieved. He conquered Houcheng and successfully captured a large amount of money, grain and materials. Of course, he had to pat his butt and leave quickly. How could he stay and share life and death with the Qinghe people? Although the Qinghe people were angry, facing the powerful Li Fengyun and the tens of thousands of troops left by Li Fengyun on the front line of Dahe, he did not dare to get along with him in any way, so as not to fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, he could only knock down his teeth and blood and swallow them. He had to endure it even if he couldn't bear it.

The heroes and coaches from Hebei gathered in Houcheng. Li Fengyun met Gao Shida, who was gentle and elegant, Dou Jiande, who was so majestic and outstanding, and Zhang Jinsheng, who showed his sharpness like a sharp arrow, and more than a dozen other rebel leaders such as Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, and Zhang Jinshu have also been famous for a long time.

These people are basically born from noble families and are rarely born in poor families. As for those who are poor and humble, they have neither appeal nor manpower, material resources and financial resources in this era. Even if a group of people raise the banner of rebellion by chance, they are difficult to persevere because of "successive successors". The bad luck is destroyed early. If they are lucky, they can only rely on the nobles and nobles and struggle to survive on the line of life and death.

The heroes of Hebei faced Li Fengyun, a powerful figure who was known as the number one thief in the Middle Earth and had tens of thousands of troops. They were very complicated in their emotions, envy, jealousy and hatred. What made them feel particularly uncomfortable was that not only could such figures not be offended, but they also had to do their best to win over them to see if they could leave him for a while to fight against the new round of anti-rebellion attacks that Duan Da was about to launch.

According to the agreement, the four companies divided the spoils of the battle in Houcheng evenly, Li Fengyun took one, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande from Gaojibo took one, Zhang Jin said he took one, and although Wang An, the leader of the Linqing rebel army, was with Zhang Jin said, he made great contributions to this battle and took one alone.

Zhang Jincheng's face looked ugly and he had a lot of opinions about Wang An. In the matter of cooperating with Li Fengyun, Wang An was a taboo in taking action without authorization, but he was impatient to follow the power. Besides, Wang An was not a direct subordinate of Zhang Jincheng. He was also the leader of a rebel army and the boss of a force. It is reasonable to say that his own affairs are his own. But the key question is, who is Li Fengyun? His appearance will inevitably affect the situation in Hebei, the situation in Yongji Canal, and the situation in Qinghe. The first thing to be affected is the life and death of the southern rebel army in Qinghe, which is called Zhang Jin. Such a big thing, as a good brother who is related to Zhang Jincheng and shares honor and disgrace, Wang An's rebel without authorization not only endangers Zhang Jincheng's direct interests, but also endangers the interests of Gaojibo's rebel army, so it is inevitable that a large group of heroes resent Wang An would be resentful.

However, no one dared to put dissatisfaction with Wang An on his face except Zhang Jincheng. Li Fengyun supported Wang An as if he was Wang An's boss. Zhang Jincheng certainly had reason to be unhappy, but the others took a trophy for nothing and asked Li Fengyun for face in vain. Besides, Wang An grew stronger and stronger, and the conflict with Zhang Jincheng was too big. That was someone else's family matter, what about himself? Especially the monks of Gaojipo, they wanted Wang An and Zhang Jincheng to break up, so they had the opportunity to extend their power to the southern part of Yongjiqu.

Gao Shida is the most prestigious leader among the heroes and naturally became the spokesperson of the Qinghe Rebel Army. He first expressed his gratitude to Li Fengyun for his support in times of crisis, and then told about a series of new changes that may have occurred in the Yongjiqu situation after the war in Houcheng. He put forward the words carefully and tactfully, hoping that Li Fengyun would continue to provide support.

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time while everyone was watching and expecting, and suddenly shook his head, "Do you understand the current political situation in Dongdu? Do you know why someone suddenly appeared in Yongjiqu?"

Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng and others exchanged glances, and felt that there was a deep mystery behind Li Fengyun's words, so he bowed to him, "I hope to hear it carefully."

"The reason why someone appeared in Yongjiqu was to make profits in the political situation of Dongdu by people from Shandong."

Li Fengyun spoke out bluntly, went straight to the topic, and then around this topic, she peeled off the cocoon and threads, and evolved layer by layer, and thoroughly analyzed and deduced the core contradictions and potential crises hidden in the complex changes in the political situation of Dongdu for a while, now and in the next few years. If the rebel army wants to survive and develop, and if the Shandong people want to make a comeback, they must make good use of these contradictions and crises.

As for the current political situation in Dongdu, the core contradiction is reform and conservatism. The potential crisis is the failure of the second Eastern Expedition again. If the second Eastern Expedition fails again, it will inevitably intensify the core contradiction and erupt faster. For this reason, the reform forces headed by the Holy Lord are trying to unite all forces that can be united to ensure the victory of the Second Eastern Expedition. The Shandong people are an important political force that the Holy Lord wins over. However, the Holy Lord cannot give too much political interests for this. The Guanlong people will set up many obstacles for this. Therefore, if Shandong people want to take the opportunity to make profits, it is much more difficult than imagined.

As Li Fengyun talked endlessly, his image in the minds of Hebei Haoshuai became more and more mysterious, especially the visual impact brought by the floating white hair, which gave people a sense of strangeness. When Li Fengyun constructed the "past and present" and the more pessimistic future of the Dongdu political situation through a series of facts, he was not only mysterious and strange in the minds of the Haoshuai, but also had a heavy weight and countless doubts. The biggest doubt was that with the talent shown by Li Fengyun, as well as his understanding of the general trend of China and foreign countries and the Dongdu political situation, his origin must be extraordinary. So who is he? What is the inside story behind his actions in the north and south of Henan? What is his real purpose of raising the flag to rebel?

But now is not the time to explore these secrets. The Yongjiqu crisis is expanding. The Qinghe Rebel Army is at a critical moment of life and death. What the Hebei heroes urgently need is not an understanding of the political situation in the Dongdu, nor an interpretation of the nature of the Yongjiqu crisis, but how to overcome the crisis, how to break out from the encirclement of the official army, and how to persuade Li Fengyun to stay and help him.

"Can the general tell me what kind of benefits will the Hebei people make from the battle in Houcheng?"

Zhang Jin said after listening for a long time, although he gained something, he found that Li Fengyun avoided the important things and did not answer the real reason why he suddenly appeared in Yongjiqu, so he pointed directly at the key point without hesitation.

After pondering for a moment, Li Fengyun said quietly, "Save Duke Huang Tai (Cui Hongsheng)."

The Boling Cui family is well-known all over the world, and Cui Hongsheng is one of the most famous contemporary children of the Boling Cui family. Of course, the nobles and wealthy people in Hebei know very well. This year, the Eastern Expedition was defeated, and Cui Hongsheng was forced to be imprisoned by the defeat, and was in danger. This matter has long been spread among the wealthy families in Shandong. How could the Hebei heroes who have maintained close ties with the wealthy families not know?

A group of heroes and handsome men were moved, and there were shocked people, and there were suddenly enlightenment. Some people were thinking about it. Some even stared at Li Fengyun in a daze. The house was silent and could not even hear the sound of breathing. The heroes and handsome men of all sizes were "stupid" by these ordinary five words. But the Cui family and Cui Hongsheng of Boling were too far away from them, so Li Fengyun's incredible answer was like thunder in the sky, and then the one that echoed in their hearts was a forgery.

I felt incredible. Could this son be from a super wealthy family in Shandong? But even a child from a super wealthy family, even a child from a branch, has a very noble status. How could he be willing to fall into depravity and join the thief? Isn't he afraid of humiliating his ancestors and implicating the family? But Li Fengyun sat in front of him alive, but they had no evidence to prove that Li Fengyun was ordinary noble children like them. On the contrary, they didn't know what Li Fengyun knew, which was enough to prove their guess.

"Can you really save Duke Huang Tai in Houcheng fight?" Wang An couldn't help but question. He couldn't understand why Duan Da was defeated, the Yongjiqu crisis became serious, the situation in Hebei became serious, and Dongdu was furious, but he could save Duke Huang Tai.

Li Fengyun never got tired of it and gave a detailed explanation again.

"The facts of the Battle of Houcheng prove that if we want to resolve the Yongjiqu crisis and fail to do so, we must make political compromises and concessions to the Shandong people. Huang Taigong (Cui Hongsheng)'s return and let Hebei people resolve the Yongjiqu crisis is just in line with the interests of both sides. Each of them takes their needs and their own benefits, and everyone is happy."

Dou Jiande keenly discovered the flaw in this sentence and asked immediately, "According to the general's speculation, when Duan Da reaches Yongjiqu again, should we not be defeated and fled, so that the wealthy families in Hebei can meet the needs of the Eastern Capital.

Li Fengyun and Zheng pointed out, "So, I immediately crossed the river and returned to Qilu, and you must be prepared to retreat to Qinghe. I would like to warn you that you must not be lucky this time. At the critical moment, interests are supreme. For your own interests, the wealthy families in Hebei will sacrifice you without hesitation."

The room was silent again, and the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.
