Chapter 365 Liu Xuan's Hard and Soft

Xu Shiyu chased Li Baiyao and his son overnight and left.

Li Fengyun bid farewell to the riverside. When he thought of not knowing when he would see him again, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. When the future is difficult, he couldn't help but feel heavier. Whether history can change, there is still no answer at present. Although many details have already deviated, such as the development of the King of Qi, Cui Hongsheng miraculously survived, such as the existence of his rebellious hero, even if these deviations come together, they have produced some forces that should not exist in this world, but they still cannot change the trajectory of history. In this way, will the strategy of separating the northern border and dominating the northern border and gathering the power of the north to save Middle-earth die in the middle? Will it end in fruitlessness?

Li Fengyun was unable to sleep. He woke up and was drowsy and tired and powerless, but the good news sent by Sima Yuan'an suddenly made him excited.

The great scholar Liu Xuan still has a great influence among his disciples and disciples. When the Hebei heroes were helpless, they thought of him without surprise and invited him to the military discussion to inform him of the dilemma of the rebel army's desperate situation. The Hebei heroes formulated three countermeasures, one was to try every means to force the river; the second was to burn, kill, plunder and survive on both sides of the Jishui River to maintain their survival; the third was to exchange for alliances and cooperation with Li Fengyun at a greater price. The first countermeasures were to seek death. Even if the heroes escaped by luck, the price was to be wiped out. For a long time in the future, these heroes would basically be difficult to turn over;

The second countermeasure cannot see the hope of success. In the past two years, the two sides of the Jishui River have been affected continuously, and the fields are deserted and sparsely populated. Otherwise, there would not be many people rebel. Li Fengyun would not attack Zhang Xutuo at all costs, trying to seize food from the tiger's mouth and grab a piece of territory to settle down. Now Li Fengyun was defeated in Qi County, and in desperation, he had to go to the Central Plains again. The risk can be imagined. Where Li Fengyun is unwilling to stay, the Hebei rebel army can survive? In the end, they are all the only ones who have formed an alliance with Li Fengyun, but Li Fengyun is not a fool, so how can he be a Bodhisattva again and again?

The heroes asked Liu Xuan for advice and hoped that Liu Xuan would give him a way out.

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and slowly vomited out two hours ago Li Baiyao from Zhaojun Li's family and Cui Xiaoren from Boling Cui's family suddenly secretly visited him, "When the white-haired coach announced his suspension of cooperation with you in the coach's tent and parted ways, Li Baiyao and Cui Xiaoren were in his tent, listening with all his ears."

Everyone was shocked. If everyone had guessed Li Fengyun's identity and imagined the relationship between Li Fengyun and the Hebei wealthy families before, then there would be no suspense at this moment.

Since Liu Xuan said such an important secret, it is enough to show that Li Baiyao and Cui Xiaoren's secret visit was definitely not out of etiquette, but through Liu Xuan, he made a hint to the Hebei rebel army in trouble, an arrangement they hoped for. Of course, whether the heroes and coaches accept their arrangements is not their business. They have done their best and have paid back the "requitees" they owe before.

Although the heroes crossed the river and went south, although they were indeed forced to be under the heavy pressure from the Hebei rich families, the successive defeats after crossing the river was due to the strategic mistakes of the heroes and had nothing to do with the Hebei rich families. Now the two wealthy families appear together in Li Fengyun's camp, obviously not to save them, but to have other plans. They just consider the overall interests of Hebei. It would be too disappointing to ignore the two wealthy families, so they must put pressure on Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun is also from Hebei and cannot take into account the interests of Hebei. However, if he wants him to rescue him again, the heroes of Hebei must pay a sufficient price.

The heroes and coaches collectively lost their voices.

The situation they most unwilling to see the most unacceptable situation still emerged. In fact, they only have one way to save themselves. Like the Qilu Haoshang in the alliance, they hand over the army to Li Fengyun, power to Li Fengyun, and fate to Li Fengyun. Although according to the alliance covenant, the Haoshang not only has collective decision-making power in the alliance, but also has certain autonomy. For example, the Haoshang can be independent from the alliance at any time, but in fact these are "moons in the water, flowers in the mirror", and things that can be seen and touched. The alliance is indeed

It is not Li Fengyun's personal alliance, but the survival of the heroes has remained unchanged forever. Strength is the most respected. Whoever has the greatest strength is the boss, whoever has the power to kill and seize. In front of a powerful boss like Li Fengyun, you are arrogant and domineering, and seek independence is purely seeking death. Looking at the current situation of the alliance, Li Fengyun is becoming stronger and stronger, while the heroes are becoming weaker and weaker. Which heroes dare to seek independence now? It can be said that as long as any heroes have signs of leaving the alliance, there will be only a handful of time before his head falls to the ground.

Seeing the rich and handsome men silent, Liu Xuan knew it clearly and couldn't help but sigh. After sitting for a long time, he was used to calling the wind and rain to do whatever he wanted, and his obsession with power became increasingly difficult to extricate himself. He suddenly bowed his head and became a younger brother, kneeled at the feet of others, and was the fish under the chopping board of others, and let him slaughter. That feeling was really unbearable, but those who knew the times were heroes. Compared to the entire army was annihilated in the wilderness, it was a very lucky thing to have a younger brother to do. I missed this opportunity in front of me, and it was an opportunity created by the two wealthy families, and there would never be any more in the future.

"When I first met the white-haired handsome man, I had an agreement with him." Liu Xuan spoke again, breaking the silence in the tent. "If he could save the Hebei rebel army, he would only follow his horse for the rest of his life."

The rich and handsome men looked at Liu Xuan in surprise, feeling guilty and uneasy. Liu Xuanfeng had a twilight years, how many years would he have to live? But for his disciples and disciples and for the rebels, he not only gave up his lifetime of reputation, but also his dignity and freedom. According to his agreement with Li Fengyun, if Li Fengyun fulfilled his promise and saved the Hebei rebels, he, a famous Shandong scholar, would sell the rest of his life to Li Fengyun. How could the master make such sacrifices for his students?

"If you make a decision, I will convince the white-haired handsome man." Liu Xuan continued, "I will make another agreement with the white-haired handsome man. The white-haired handsome man must abide by the alliance. When I arrive in Hebei in the future, any of you can leave the alliance and become independent at any time. The white-haired handsome man must not stop it or interfere, otherwise, I will fight to the death."

The heroes looked at each other and were speechless. Liu Xuan was using both soft and hard skills. In name, he fought for the future independence of Hebei Haoshang, but in fact he forced the Hebei Haoshang to make a decision immediately. The master could sacrifice his life for the students. What else do you students want? Do you have to be a bad reputation of being unfaithful, filial, unkind and unrighteous?

Liu Heita resolutely decided to join the alliance. In front of the heroes, Liu Heita analyzed in detail the reasons for joining the alliance. One is to save himself. Now it is not possible to cross the river, and it is not possible to plunder on the spot. The official army is still encircling and suppressing the enemy from all sides. There are 70,000 elderly, weak, women and children who need to be supported and cannot watch them die here. Secondly, Li Fengyun's origin and the cooperative relationship between Li Fengyun and the two wealthy families in Hebei are the best resources to promote the rapid development and growth of the Hebei rebel army. If you miss it, you will never encounter it again. Thirdly, what is the ultimate goal of Li Fengyun and the two wealthy families? And what is the final way out for us, the Hebei rebel army? Connect these two ultimate goals together, it is not difficult to see that they will be together in the future. Since that is the case, why don't you take a chance now? Now bet on Li Fengyun, and bets will be forever, which is far better than our own confused and random bets.

Hao Xiaode let go, Sun Xuanya agreed, and Li Deyi had no objection. As for Du Yanbing, Wang Run, and Shi Jinggui, they all depended on several heroes and coaches, so they naturally followed the crowd.

Since the heroes and coaches agreed to join the alliance, the next step is to discuss how to protect their own interests to the greatest extent. In other words, how to ensure that their strength will not be weakened and the army will not be cut. They had previously inquired about many internal affairs from the alliance, such as Pei Changzi and Shi Zihe who had just joined the alliance, and more than 20,000 troops eventually fell into a team of less than 6,000 people. Although Li Fengyun gave them two armies, more than 2,000 of them were drawn from other armies in the alliance, which affected their control over their own army to a certain extent. The same is true for Wang Bo. He had an army in name, and in fact, seven or eight hundred soldiers were all from the old army of the alliance. His combat effectiveness increased, but his control over the army decreased.

According to this model, the Hebei heroes should be able to lead one army, but this is far from satisfying the "appetite" of the heroes. After some discussion, eight heroes, including Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Liu Shishan, Du Yanbing, Wang Run, Sun Xuanya, Shi Juegui, Li Deyi, etc., actually led two armies and took out a reorganization and franchise plan of more than 60,000 people in 16 armies.

When Li Fengyun saw Liu Xuan and this huge reorganization and franchise plan, he immediately responded: Six soldiers and 24,000 soldiers.

This is the limit that the alliance can accept, and it is also the real data obtained by Li Fengyun after a survey. At present, only more than 20,000 troops can be used for combat, and the rest are all useless. Therefore, this "buy" is very unfavorable for the alliance. If you get six armies, you have to support more than 80,000 people. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss.

The conditions between the two sides were too disparate and they "collapsed" before formal negotiations were made.

The alliance's military reorganization plan was implemented smoothly. Alliance officials and the Haoshangs knew that after the defeat of the Qijun War, the alliance army had to switch to the Central Plains again to support the war, so the army was actually only one goal, to enhance combat effectiveness. Therefore, everyone cooperated very well, and the whole country worked together. In addition, the current situation was critical, and the official army was eyeing each other nearby. The alliance soldiers were eager to leave Jibei, which made the reorganization work progress rapidly and was completed in one day and one night.

Just as Li Fengyun decided to evacuate Sidujin and quickly marched into Henggongdu, Wang Bo suddenly rushed into the camp and asked Li Fengyun for help.
