Chapter five hundred and forty fourth self-inflicted sin

After noon, Li Mi rushed to the banks of Gushui River and found Li Fengyun under a big willow tree.

Li Fengyun lay on the hammock of trees, shaking his palm-leaf fan in one hand and a book in the other, enjoying a trace of shade in the heat while busy.

He is very relaxed now and is sure to win the decisive victory. Although Yang Xuangan impatiently put on a despicable face that he can eat people and does not spit out his bones, Li Fengyun predicted that Wei Wensheng was a difficult bone to crack, and the local nobles of Guanlong were determined to stop Yang Xuangan from entering the pass, and there must be a fierce battle between the two sides. After the war, Yang Xuangan suffered a lot of losses. Even if he supplemented the losses with prisoners, it would take time to rest. At this time, Yang Xuangan did not dare to break up with Li Fengyun. Therefore, as long as Li Fengyun put on a desperate posture of burning both jade and stones, Yang Xuangan would definitely tolerate it, and Li Fengyun could calmly evacuate the battlefield of the Dongdu.

When Li Fengyun saw Li Mi coming from afar, his calm mood suddenly had a slight turbulence, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated for no reason. This was purely an instinct. He heard the sound of horse hooves densely and rapidly. Judging from experience, the rider should be very anxious. Obviously, the situation ahead had abnormal changes, otherwise Li Mi would definitely not have visited at this moment, and his mood would not have been so anxious.

Will it not be "turning over"? Li Fengyun suddenly felt a little uneasy. In the history he remembered, Yang Xuangan was defeated by Wei Wensheng on the battlefield in Dongdu, and eventually lost. However, Yang Xuangan had an absolute advantage in today's battle situation, and the possibility of capsizing in the gutter was very slim. Of course, if Yang Xuangan himself sank the "ship" and gave up a good situation, that would be another matter. However, in this case, Yang Xuangan is certainly a dead end, Li Fengyun was also in danger due to his involvement, and the alliance army would be destroyed.

Li Fengyun turned over and jumped out of the hammock, put one hand on his chest and shook the palm fan, and carried the book behind him with the other hand, pretending to be calm, and greeted Li Mi with a smile.

Li Mi flew off the horse, strode towards Li Fengyun, while lifting down her bag and holding it in her hand, wiping the sweat beads on her cheeks in a vivid way, and gasping heavily in her mouth, giving people a feeling of embarrassment.

Li Fengyun became more and more uneasy and couldn't calm down. Before Li Mi could approach, he asked loudly, "Who set the fire? Did you set the fire or the enemy set it?"

Li Mi did not answer, but asked anxiously, "Did Zheng Yuanshou go out of the city to attack today? What is the offensive?"

The two faced each other, and the gloom in Li Mi's eyes fell into Li Fengyun's eyes, which immediately made Li Fengyun nervous and even felt a little suffocated.

"Zheng Yuanshou left the city to attack, but was defeated by me, Hu Ben. Fengyun and the two armies joined forces to repel the bridgehead. The formation of the car was also burned. In the short term, the defenders in the city were no longer able to pose a threat to me." Li Fengyun said this, raised his palm fan in his hand to fan Li Mi to relieve the coldness, and his tone also became cold and solemn, "Who set the fire? Once the direction of the wind changes, do you know what the consequences are? Unless you have to be desperate, you must not take this worst strategy. This is to burn yourself by playing with fire."

"It was not what we put it on." Li Mi shook her head and sighed, "It was the enemy who put it on. They were prepared for it. Using the cover of the night, they were filled with trees in the already captured trenches and horse-rejecting formations, and then ignited the fire..." Li Mi made a gesture of flame erupting, "In an instant, the two-mile-long avenue turned into a sea of ​​fire, and then quickly spread to the river valleys and forests on both sides of the avenue..."

"Their purpose is to stop our attacks and destroy our attacks." Li Fengyun immediately understood, and his tone was even more nervous. "How is there news about Yue Gong? What is the situation of the battle in Xiaoxin Ancheng? Is there a sudden change in the battle situation?"

Li Mi wiped the sweat from her face, smiled bitterly, shook her head, her eyes were complicated, and she was both angry and worried, "The situation of the battle suddenly changed. Huaiyang Duke (Yang Xuanting) accidentally fell into a trap and was surrounded and killed by the enemy. Yue Gong then led his army to rescue him, but was intercepted by the enemy's army. Yue Gong was worried about an accident. He urgently told Huai'an Duke (Yang Jishan) that he asked Huai'an Duke to attack from the direction of Mianchi, hoping that the three routes would join forces to attack inside and outside, but the fire blocked our attack..."

Li Fengyun understood that the huge disappointment was like a pot of cold water pouring his head, making him lose his body and mind, all kinds of negative emotions such as powerlessness, loss, depressedness flooded him like a tide, and in the end there was only a desperate thought. The destiny of heaven is irreversible, the way of heaven cannot be changed, and the future is dark. Li Fengyun raised his hand decisively and stopped Li Mi's statement without hesitation.

Yang Xuangan was smart but was mistaken by his cleverness. He shot himself in the foot, and now he completely messed up the matter. The good situation was given up. If Yang Xuangan trusted Li Fengyun, the two sides maintained cooperation and handed over all the blocking tasks in the direction of Mianchi to Li Fengyun, then he would not have transferred Yang Jishan and more than 10,000 main troops to the direction of Mianchi. In this way, even if Yang Xuanting fell into the enemy's trap, he had enough strength to break through the enemy's blocking and rescue Yang Xuanting, but now he couldn't do it. When Wei Wensheng gave up breaking through and transferred all the main forces to the battlefield of Xiaoxin Ancheng, and fought to the death, he not only transferred more than 10,000 elite main forces from the battlefield of Xiaoxin Ancheng, but also "idled" Li Fengyun's army on the battlefield of Mianchi and took his own death.

"You can't live if you commit sins." Li Fengyun sneered, "Don't say it anymore, it's too late. Even if we have two wings on our ribs, it's too late to reverse the defeat."

"We will not be defeated, nor will we lose." Li Mi couldn't help but shouted loudly when he saw Li Fengyun rejecting, "Even if the entire Huaiyang Duke's army is wiped out, the final victory will be ours. Wei Wensheng and the Xijing army are exhausted and the wings are hard to fly."

Li Fengyun looked at him with a cold look on his face, "So what if you win this decisive battle? Is it meaningful? The victory of both sides is a failure for you, a failure of a complete defeat."

"Both losses are both hurt?" Li Mi sneered, "As long as you keep your promise and help us, we can still defeat our opponents and easily win this decisive battle."

Li Fengyun's eyes were surprised. He had seen shameless people, but this was the first time he had seen a shameless person like Li Mi.

"You want someone to keep your promise?" Li Fengyun pointed at his nose and asked in an incredible tone.

Li Mi looked serious and nodded solemnly.

"You want some help?" Li Fengyun continued to ask.

Li Mi became more and more solemn, with a righteous attitude of being loyal to each other and living together to die together.

Li Fengyun smiled, helpless and exhausted.

The reality is too cruel. The gap between civilians and nobles, between poor families and wealthy families is too huge. From power, wealth to ideas and opinions, it is a hundred and eight thousand miles apart, and there is no possibility of living and benefiting each other. Li Fengyun feels that he is too naive and ridiculous. This lesson is too profound, so profound that he can change his understanding of the world. If he had been more mature at the beginning, he would not have any hope for the wealthy families such as Yang Xuangan and Li Mi. Perhaps he would have achieved his expected goals during this trip to the East Capital and would have made greater benefits, and would not have gained nothing like he has now.

“Good as you wish.”

Li Fengyun agreed, but he had no choice, just to go with the flow. Li Mi and Yang Jishan wanted to return to the battlefield of Xiaoxin Ancheng to rescue Yang Xuanting. He had to bear the blocking mission in the direction of Mianchi. He had to agree if he didn't agree, unless he broke up with Yang Xuangan and turned against him. Li Mi just grabbed his weakness and was not afraid that Li Fengyun would not agree. So what if I am shameless? I just need to be sure of you.

Li Mi achieved his goal and left with a flash of lightning.

Li Fengyun quickly ordered that the general manager Guo Ming and Xiahou Zhe led the first, second, fourth and fifth troops of the alliance to retreat to three miles east of Mianchi City, and half of the troops were invested in the river valleys on both sides of the avenue, and isolation belts were set up in the mountains and forests to prevent the fire from burning towards Mianchi after the wind direction suddenly changed, and the army was damaged.

In fact, when the fire broke out, Li Fengyun had already told the army generals to be vigilant. If the wind direction was wrong, retreated immediately. If it weren't for the concern that Yang Jishan had already felt grudges and did not want to stimulate him too much to avoid conflict, Li Fengyun would have ordered his retreat. Now, Yang Jishan came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Yang Xuangan even slapped himself in the mouth, causing a slap in the sudden battle situation. Although Li Fengyun would not add any harm, he would not "sent in time" and would not sacrifice himself to make wedding clothes for others. Now he is just doing his duty, protecting himself first, and then watching coldly, and not doing favors with the flow.

In the afternoon, Yang Xuangan received a reply from Yang Jishan. The fire was released by the Xijing army. Wei Wensheng had already dug a trap and was sure to bite him back when he was dying.

In other words, Yang Xuangan was careless and underestimated the enemy. He estimated that Wei Wensheng and the Xijing army had insufficient stubborn will, and made a wrong judgment on the situation of the battle. The serious consequences were not that Yang Xuanting was trapped in the trap, nor that Yang Jishan was wrongly transferred from the battlefield of Xiaoxin Ancheng, but that Yang Xuangan had exposed his ambition to devouring Li Fengyun and the alliance army too early. At present, Li Fengyun could still swallow his anger and take into account the overall situation. He was purely based on his own interests and had to do it. The cooperation between the two sides was in name only, and it could be said to have been terminated. The relationship between the two sides was no longer an ally, but was in a state of imminent confrontation.

"This is a conspiracy of white hair, a conspiracy of Shandong people." Yang Xuangan was furious and roared sharply.

Hu Shidan dared not respond and remained silent. Yang Xuangan was losing his mind. Not only did he not blame himself, he hated Li Fengyun even more. He believed that all this was designed by Li Fengyun and was conspired by Shandong people. They were all to provoke the local aristocratic group of Guanlong and Heluo aristocratic group to kill each other, in order to weaken and attack the strength of Guanlong political group and gain more power and wealth for Shandong people.

"Ming Gong, the most urgent task is to rescue Huaiyang Gong (Yang Xuanting)." Hu Shidan advised carefully, "Huai'an Gong (Yang Jishan) and Pushan Gong (Li Mi) are leading their troops back to the rescue quickly, and they are expected to arrive at the battlefield before evening. Before that, we must launch the most fierce attack to restrain as many enemy troops as possible and help Huaiyang Gong stay until dusk."

"I went on the battle myself."

Yang Xuangan turned over the horse, put on a sling, picked up the horse spear, and took the personal guards and roared towards the enemy formation like the wind.
