Li Mi was wandering in the military tent with her hands behind her back, in a bad mood and was hesitant and uneasy.

The Korean Prime Minister passed the words of the Han family's elders to Li Mi and left, but Li Mi keenly noticed some changes from the words of the Korean Prime Minister. The Korean Prime Minister's attitude towards Li Fengyun seemed to have changed, and this change was obviously related to the Han family's elders.

The most important thing for the Korean Prime Minister at the moment is survival, and to find a "backer" that can protect him and have a future for development. Originally, Yang Xuangan was his "backer", but now he is too far from Yang Xuangan, and there is a Li Fengyun and an insurmountable obstacle. Therefore, there are only two choices in front of the Korean Prime Minister at the moment. One is to overcome the "obstacle" of Li Fengyun to obtain Yang Xuangan's protection, and the other is to defect to Li Fengyun, merge with the alliance into one, and turn danger into a bargain. If the Korean Prime Minister chooses to overcome the "obstacle" and be the "enemy" with Li Fengyun, Li Fengyun will definitely eat him. The reason is very simple. No one knows whether the mutiny can be successful. In order to ensure the retreat, Li Fengyun must strengthen himself. He will never be able to give the "fat meat" of Han Prime Minister to Yang Xuangan.

For this reason, the Korean Prime Minister was in a dilemma and could not help. At the critical moment, the Han family members saw through the mystery behind the political situation of the Dongdu capital and helped the Korean Prime Minister make a choice, that is, to follow Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun hid under the banner of the Korean Prime Minister and manipulated the Korean Prime Minister to command the army to participate in the mutiny and attack the Dongdu capital. The Korean Prime Minister's move was actually equivalent to betraying Yang Xuangan. However, on the surface, the Korean Prime Minister still respected Yang Xuangan and did not betray Yang Xuangan at all. Only when the mutiny failed would the Korean Prime Minister "exposed his true form". But at that time, Yang Xuangan betrayed his relatives and had no time to take care of himself, so how could he care about the Korean Prime Minister?

The reason why the Han family made this choice was because the changes in the political situation in Dongdu were no longer conducive to Yang Xuangan's mutiny. The future of the mutiny was not optimistic. He had no choice but to bet the bet of the Han Prime Minister on Li Fengyun and pin his hopes on the huge power behind Li Fengyun. This is the wisdom of an old politician.

Li Fengyun's prediction was accurate. The war in Longxi reappeared, and the sudden outbreak of the crisis intensified the conflicts within the northwest. Yuan Hongsi had an accident, which directly affected the political situation of the two capitals and the long-planned mutiny plan.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it, and it was inevitable that Yuan Hongsi would become the target of public criticism. The local nobles of Guanlong had never relaxed the control of the northwest border and the northwest army at all. The Holy Lord had become increasingly fierce in conflict with the local aristocratic group of Guanlong, and became increasingly hated and wary of Xijing. Therefore, during the Eastern Expedition, he made a series of adjustments to the military officials of the northwest border. Among them, the one that attracted much attention and criticism was the appointment of Yuan Hongsi as the remaining guard of Honghua, in charge of the military affairs of the thirteen counties of Longyou, and was the highest military and political chief in the northwest.

Since the rise of the Guanlong people, the northwest border and the northwest army have been the "sphere of influence" of the Guanlong people and the core interests of the Guanlong people. However, after the unification of Zhongtu, this local dominance has become a disguised "separation", which runs contrary to the reform theme of centralized power. However, the Guanlong aristocratic group was the largest vested interest group of the unified Central Turkish dynasty. If you want to maintain long-term unification and achieve centralization, the emperor and the central government must win the support and cooperation of the Guanlong people, so the reform of the previous emperor was moderate.

Gradually, the conflicts and conflicts between the two sides were not serious. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he adopted radical reform methods, and the conflicts and conflicts between the two sides quickly became fierce. The Holy Lord's expedition in the west was beneficial to the Guanlong people. The Guanlong people actively cooperated, and the military and political circles in the northwest supported them with great results. When the Eastern Expedition was over, the situation was different. The Guanlong people not only had no profit, but also had potential foreseeable huge losses of interests. Of course, the Guanlong people "took back". As a result, the Holy Lord attacked the Guanlong people's "private land" in anger.

Now, something happened to Yuan Hongsi. The Holy Lord shot himself in the foot and slapped himself in the face. He was ridiculed by the people of Guanlong. In the future, the hatred between the two sides will inevitably become deeper and deeper. The Holy Lord will take revenge when he catches the opportunity. Once the mutiny launched by the conservative forces headed by Yang Xuangan fails to conduct political liquidation, the people of Guanlong will inevitably suffer and cannot escape even if they want to.

Since they can't escape, how can the Guanlong people deal with it? Two choices are: either to cooperate with Yang Xuangan and launch a mutiny together, or to use Yang Xuangan's mutiny to threaten the Holy Lord, force the Holy Lord to make political compromises with the Guanlong people and allow political interests to be spread. For example, to get the key position of Honghua left behind, completely control the Northwest Army, first "armed" yourself, first stand invincible, and then send troops to quell the rebellion, destroy Yang Xuangan, and get the merits of suppressing the rebellion. In this way, even if the Holy Lord has the intention of revenge on the Guanlong people in the future, when facing the Guanlong people who are "armed" to the teeth, he can only swallow his anger and endure it first.

The first choice is too risky, which may ruin the cause of unification. If the dynasty collapses, it is unbearable for the Guanlong people. This is not in line with the core interests of the Guanlong people. In addition, there are too many variables in cooperation with Yang Xuangan. If the Guanlong people cannot control the choice of the imperial unit, they will not be able to protect their core interests from losses. However, the purpose of Yang Xuangan's mutiny is to change the imperial unit. If he cannot get the choice of the imperial unit, he will still launch a mutiny? Therefore, the Guanlong people solved the potential hidden danger of Yuan Hongsi and took advantage of the northwest crisis firmly again.

After taking control of the Northwest Army, we must re-weight the gains and losses of interests. At this moment, Yang Xuangan has lost Yuan Hongsi, a powerful ally, and what he lost is the "weapons" that threatened the Guanlong people and the "capital" that confronted the Saint Lord head-on. Under such a disadvantage, it is impossible to win the cooperation of the Guanlong people. The Guanlong people will only take advantage of the situation, that is, make a second choice, first lure and force Yang Xuangan to launch a mutiny, and then use this as a "bargaining chip" to bargain with the Saint Lord. The Guanlong people are "satisfied" and make a big profit. Yang Xuangan's doomsday is here.

The more Li Mi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He never expected that the situation would suddenly change subversively. All the previous measures that were favorable to the mutiny, such as Li Fengyun plundering Tongji Canal, chaotic Yuzhou, and about to start attacking Dongdu, etc., have now turned into "suicide" behaviors, pushing Yang Xuangan and his mutiny accomplices to the "guillotine" at a faster speed. All of this was because Yang Xuangan and his allies made wrong predictions about the future situation, made wrong assessments of the contradictions and conflicts between the Guanlong people and the Holy Lord, and ended up ruining himself.

Now it is meaningless to talk about whether to launch a mutiny. If there is no mutiny under the current situation, it will be dead. There is still a glimmer of hope for launching a mutiny, so there is only a mutiny, and a desperate attempt.

Since there is no way out, we must seize the opportunity at all costs and do our best to prepare for the mutiny. In particular, the time for raising troops is the top priority, which is directly related to the defeat of the troops. However, from the current crisis, it is impossible to raise troops in July.

If the Guanlong people were determined to put Yang Xuangan to death, to loot the huge interests of the political group headed by Yang Xuangan, and to crack down on the reform forces with the Saint Lord as the core, they would inevitably control the damage of this mutiny to Middle-earth within an acceptable range, and they would inevitably curb the scale of this mutiny to the greatest extent. The best way is to force Yang Xuangan to launch a mutiny before the expeditionary army had crossed the Yalu River, which would not only destroy the Holy Lord.

The Second Eastern Expedition severely hit the authority of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, and ensure that our side destroys Yang Xuangan in the shortest time to end the mutiny. At the same time, we can also strengthen ourselves by relying on the political interests stolen from the Saint Lord and the political "results" seized from Yang Xuangan, so as to win more voice in the inheritance of the imperial regime and make early preparations for the future political interests. This is a strategy of killing multiple birds with one stone. If the Guanlong people succeed, the great interests will be difficult to estimate.

So for Yang Xuangan, since the July mutiny is impossible, it is better to turn passive into initiative and mutiny in advance. The earlier the mutiny is, the more you can take the initiative. And more importantly, Yuan Hongsi is still in the position of commander of the Northwest Army, and the Holy Lord has not issued an order to remove him from his official position. In addition, the distance from Liaodong to Northwest is too far. Even if the Holy Lord dismissed Yuan Hongsi, it would take time to pass the imperial edict. The new commander of the Northwest Army also takes time to take office, so before the new commander took office,

Yuan Hongsi was still in power, still posed a major threat to Xijing, and could still give Yang Xuangan great help. In this case, if Yang Xuangan immediately raised troops in Liyang and Yuan Hongsi responded quickly in the northwest, then Yuan Hongsi, an important "chess piece", could play a role. Yuan Hongsi and the officers who were loyal to Yang Su, Yang Xuangan and his son who were deployed in the Northwest Army in the early stage could still pull out a team to enter Guanzhong and threaten Xijing, which undoubtedly greatly increased the chances of a mutiny.

However, at this moment, Li Mi is in Yingchuan and Yang Xuangan is in Liyang, thousands of miles apart. Li Mi has no idea whether Yang Xuangan has made a new decision. Even if he is worried, he will do nothing. However, Li Mi has another "card" in his hand that can influence or even decide that the soldiers will become defeated, and that is Li Fengyun.

Li Mi decided to chase Li Fengyun immediately and see what new countermeasures Li Fengyun had after the sudden change of the situation. As for the Yingchuan battlefield, Li Mi didn't care at all. This can be seen from the fact that Li Fengyun handed over the Yingchuan battlefield to Han Xiangguo and led his main force to go north to Xiangcheng with his main force. In fact, there is no need for an army to attack Yingchuan, just Han Xiangguo is enough.

That night, Li Mi caught up with Li Fengyun on the east bank of Rushui and informed him of the latest news. These news fully confirmed that Li Fengyun's analysis and deduction of the recent situation in the Dongdu was very accurate. Although the league's top leaders had already accepted Li Fengyun's almost evil "talent", they were always a little suspicious before the facts appeared. Now that they have heard the news reported by Li Mi with their own ears, they are more confident in the upcoming Dongdu War, because Li Fengyun is like a "god" and the gods will not be defeated.

"The Duke of Yue must raise his troops in advance, and the only target of attacking Dongdu is the only Dongdu." Li Mi said with concern, "But the matter is hasty, the army he can recruit is very limited, so whether he can reach Dongdu as quickly as possible and capture Dongdu depends on whether we can successfully restrain the main force of the Dongdu garrison in the direction of Yique.

Li Fengyun glanced at Li Mi and smiled, "What is Pushan Gong's trick?"
