Chapter 562 If you can go north to kill the prisoners
On the sixth day of the seventh month, late at night, Alliance Camp.
Han Shiyan sat with Li Fengyun again, but this time the two sides had different positions and their mentality was very different. The young thief Li Fengyun became the de facto leader, while the older powerful had to rely on others. The subversion of position and the change of identity had a great impact on Han Shiyan. Logically speaking, he should have gone to Jintiguan to officially visit Li Fengyun this afternoon to discuss the alliance, but he was in a low mood and needed time to buffer and adapt.
Li Min had the same experience and knew that Han Shiye could not pass the mentality level, so he walked away specially. When Han Shiye saw Li Min, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. Thinking about Li Zixiong, his mentality was immediately cured. What kind of person is Li Zixiong? Now the old man is leaning into the alliance and joining the thief. What is Han Shiye's grievance? For a better future, he endured the humiliation under his crotch.
Han Shiyan adjusted his mindset and lowered his proud head. It would be simple to negotiate an alliance with Li Fengyun. He would make concessions without hesitation to make concessions and do his best to maintain the interests that should be maintained.
Li Fengyun's performance was completely beyond Han Shiyan's expectations. Li Fengyun opened his arms to welcome Han Shiyan's joining, which was extremely enthusiastic and sincere, which made Han Shiyan unexpected, and even suspected that Li Fengyun had ulterior motives.
Li Fengyun thought that he made a lot of money this time. Although he made a series of agreements with Wei Fusi, including Han Shiye leading his army to temporarily live in the alliance, including letting Li Zixiong, Han Shiye and other Guanlong people develop and grow in the alliance, and even promised to allow the Guanlong people to leave the alliance and join the King of Qi as long as conditions permit. Li Fengyun agreed, but in fact, the sum of these benefits is not as good as the contribution made by the Guanlong people after joining the alliance, the increase in the strength of the alliance and the development and growth of the alliance in the north.
Now the alliance is based on "respecting" the King of Qi as the "big banner" and based on the three major forces of Shandong, Guanlong and Jiangzuo. If the northern border is occupied as its territory, it will not only have the conditions for rapid development, but also have the qualifications to compete for the world in an era of heroes competing for hegemony.
Li Fengyun is ambitious at this moment. Although he has not yet been able to change the trajectory of history so far, he has successfully changed the fate of some historical figures within his ability, such as King Qi, Wei Fusi, Cui Hongsheng, Li Zixiong and his son, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, etc. History is formed by the interweaving of the fates of these important figures. As long as the fate of more historical figures is changed, the long river of history will one day change its direction of rushing.
Li Fengyun readjusted his goals. He no longer blindly arrogant and no longer tried to change a certain historical event with his weak power. This time he participated in the Yang Xuangan mutiny. This time, Li Fengyun ended in failure, which shows that his method was wrong. It would not work to change a certain historical event to change the historical trajectory. He did not have that strong strength. However, at Jinti Pass, Wei Fusi and Han Shiye gave him inspiration, giving him a brand new idea. With his current strength, he could work hard to change the fate of more historical figures. With this direction, he might change history.
However, the upcoming battle between North and South is a huge and invincible challenge for both the King of Qi himself and the Alliance.
The northern desert was surrounded by troops, with hundreds of thousands of control strings. The King of Qi, the garrison and the alliance teamed up to fight. Only by exerting all national strength could one fight. However, the Holy Lord had exhausted his national strength over the years and it was difficult to defend against the enemy outside the country. If the Holy Lord won consecutive battles and gave the northern desert a strong deterrence, he could realize a new national defense and diplomatic strategy. Unfortunately, things went against others' wishes. With the defeat of the two Eastern Expeditions, Goguryeo, a small country, "shocked the tree", dragged down Middle Earth, and instead allowed the northern desert, who were watching one side and eyeing one side, to catch a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. Take advantage of your illness to kill you. For your own safety, in order to prevent Middle Earth from threatening the survival and development of the northern desert for a long time, he would inevitably go south and invade severely to Central Earth. The Civil War is imminent and is about to break out.
In history, the war between the North and the South ended with the failure of Middle-earth, and this military failure became the "last straw" that completely crushed the Holy Lord and the Reformers politically. The central authority was lost, Middle-earth fell apart, and the great cause of unification collapsed.
Li Fengyun tried to save the great cause of unification in Middle-earth and save millions of innocent creatures who died in the division and war, so he targeted the war between the north and the south. If he could use the "big banner" of the King of Qi to concentrate all the forces scattered in the northern border, coupled with the strong support of the Eastern Capital, he might be able to defend the enemy outside the country. In this way, it would be possible to remove the "last straw" to save the Holy Lord and the reformists, and to continue to maintain the authority of the central government, which might delay or even prevent the disintegration of Middle-earth.
However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. There are only two years left before the outbreak of the war between the North and South. Even if the King of Qi is willing to defend the frontier, even if the alliance is willing to grow and grow as he wishes, even if Li Fengyun's many plans are successfully implemented, how much can his own strength be increased in two years? Can it be blocked by hundreds of thousands of Northern Governors who are whistling? The answer is self-evident. If the King of Qi and the Alliance try their best to block the Northern Governors, there will be only one final result, and all the casualties will be lost. The so-called "dominant of the Northern Governors" will become the flower in the mirror of the moon in the water. Of course, miracles exist, but Li Fengyun has not seen any hope of reversal so far.
If the outcome of the Civil War can be reversed, history will change, and this is Li Fengyun's dream. What he can do now is to change the fate of some historical figures, and then hope for a miracle to happen after the Civil War broke out. So for Li Fengyun, the most realistic goal at the moment is to do his best to deal with the upcoming Civil War.
Before, he had tried his best to use his "north plan" to convince the King of Qi, Li Zixiong and Wei Fusi who failed in the imperial consolidation dispute. For these people of the "group" of Qi, they were already at a political end. The Civil War was the only opportunity to reverse their destiny. For "public" it was loyal to the country, and for "private", it was a comeback. It was a gain of fame and fortune, and it was worth a try.
With the "big flag" of King Qi, Li Fengyun had the confidence to convince the alliance's heroes. People go to high places and water flowed to low places. The heroes don't want to be thieves for the rest of their lives. Besides, the alliance's limelight is too strong, and the outcome of the "big bird" can be imagined. The alliance is facing serious crises in both survival and development. If they want to realize their dreams, the alliance must be strategically transferred, so the fate of the King of Qi is tied to the fate of the alliance.
Under the shadow of the Civil War, Li Fengyun believed that as long as the King of Qi arrived in the northern border, the cooperation between the two sides would be very smooth. After all, the opponent was too strong, and even if the two sides could not compete, there was no other way out except for close cooperation. As for where both sides would go after the Civil War, to be honest, Li Fengyun himself didn't know.
What is certain is that the goal of the political forces with King Qi as the core is always the imperial rule, the Eastern Capital, and the power center. As long as the Holy Lord gives King Qi a chance, the King of Qi will inevitably give up the idea of "dominating the northern border" with difficulties and slim hopes. As for the alliance, if you are lucky, you can take advantage of the opportunity of both China and foreign sides losing both sides after the war between the North and South to occupy a piece of territory in the northern border. If you are not lucky, you will probably start over again.
In order to win Han Shiye's trust and to win cooperation between the two parties, Li Fengyun gave a detailed explanation of the "past and present life" of "planning north".
Han Shiye was shocked at first, but then stunned. He finally knew the "secret" between King Qi and Li Fengyun, the "in and outs" behind the "tactic understanding" between the two sides, and why military and political leaders such as Li Zixiong and his son, Wei Fusi, and Dong Chun were willing to cooperate with Li Fengyun. Many doubts hidden in his heart were solved one by one, and Li Fengyun's weight in his eyes increased sharply, and he also had a more intuitive understanding of the huge power behind Li Fengyun.
"Xinyi Gong, now, do you still suspect that you are welcomed to join the alliance. Is it because of ulterior motives?" Li Fengyun asked.
Han Shiyan shook his head repeatedly, a little absent-minded. Li Fengyun revealed too many secrets, and it took time to fully understand them. Fortunately, Li Min sat next to him, so there was no need to doubt the authenticity of the secret, which made him "tidy up" much easier.
Li Min didn't expect that Li Fengyun was so "candid" and "candid". Li Fengyun said that there were very few people who knew the secrets, and Han Shiye, who had just joined, obviously did not have the conditions to learn about these top secrets. This is also the reason why Li Min was "silent" even though he had a good relationship with Han Shiye. However, Li Fengyun said this, which made Li Min embarrassed and dissatisfied, and at the same time he also had some doubts.
Why did Li Fengyun exchange these "confidentials" for Han Shiye's trust? Why did he use this method to win intimate cooperation between the two sides? In the future, Han Shiyan will definitely join forces with his father and son in order to gain a place in the alliance and gain a certain voice. This is obviously not good for Li Fengyun, but why did Li Fengyun turn a blind eye and care about it? Should he really be as he said, all efforts are for the upcoming war between the North and the South?
"We break through tonight." Li Fengyun said to Han Shiye while spreading out the map on the case table, "You follow us, don't have any concerns, and make great strides. Don't doubt someone, don't doubt Dong Chun, and don't make abnormal actions without authorization, so as not to cause unnecessary accidents and irreparable losses."
Han Shiye understood Li Fengyun's warning and agreed immediately. Then Li Fengyun explained the breakout time and route in detail, and told him to contact the code words. Finally, he instructed, "You must change into our flag and use our code words, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
Han Shiyan said goodbye and left. Li Min then sent him off. When he arrived outside the coach's tent, Li Min asked, "Do you believe that the war between the North and the South is about to break out?"
"I believe it." Han Shiye stopped, looked at Li Min, and said solemnly, "The Turkic people in the desert have risen again, and have even swept the enemy and controlled the territory again. The tension in the relationship between the north and the south has exceeded our imagination. Your elders should know this better than you. He would rather stay in the alliance and join the thief than actively go north to the border. This is probably the reason."
"You believe in Li Fengyun, so why is that?"
Han Shiyan smiled and said, "If you can go north to kill the enemy, what if you fall into the grass and become a bandit?"
