Li Fengyun gave the ultimate answer: the world's hegemony is to seize the northern border for this purpose. The Civil War is the best way to achieve this goal. For this reason, the left-behind legions must not only stick to the flying fox and Yanbei, but also develop and grow. The most important thing in the development process is internal unity. With a clear goal, we will do our best to find ways to unite the many forces in the alliance and work together to seek development.

This is simple to say and difficult to do, but it is not complicated in Li Fengyun's eyes. "The key is interests, expectations for the future. Now for everyone, the King of Qi is the future interests, and the King of Qi is hope, and the reality is promising hope. So as long as you hold on to King of Qi, it is equivalent to grasping the common interests, and it is easy to maintain unity within the alliance with this interest."

And this is the question. The reason why the alliance traveled thousands of miles north from Qilu was because of the "life-saving straw" of King Qi, which is the reality of being expected. But in Li Fengyun's grand wish, where is the position of King Qi? Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao had some speculations, but they were not sure. Li Fengyun "sovereignly" launched King Qi, so Chen Rui took the opportunity to ask, "Ming Gong, in the plan to go north, King Qi is the core..."

Chen Rui wanted to speak but stopped. Li Fengyun knew it well, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have said the same words many times, why do you always choose to forget them? Let me say it again, the King of Qi and his supporters have a conservative stance on centralization, which is the fundamental reason why he cannot inherit the imperial throne. In fact, the King of Qi has lost the hope of winning the imperial throne, unless the Holy Lord and the centralized faction completely fail, but if they fail, the country's destiny will be shattered, and the great cause of unification will be quickly broken in the wind and rain."

"The great cause of unification is broken, and the heroes are competing for the destiny. Does the King of Qi still have the possibility of reorganizing the mountains and rivers? This is obviously a luxury, and there is no other reason. If you want to defeat the Holy Lord and the centralized faction, you must use military means. The failure of the Yang Xuangan mutiny proves that the domestic conservatives do not have the determination to burn both jade and stone, so they must use the knife to kill people, and use the power of the Northern Barbarians to deal with the heavy damage to the Holy Lord and the centralized faction. With the defeat of the Civil War, a fatal blow to the Holy Lord and the centralized faction in the military, and then take advantage of the situation to rob and add to the insult. But the problem is, fish and clams fight, fishermen gain profits, and those who take advantage of the situation to rob and add to the insult are not just the stubborn and conservative people who forget to make the insult and forget to see the profit?"

"All heroes emerge, the world is in chaos, the country collapses, and everyone will dominate the world. What advantage does the King of Qi have to dominate the world? In fact, once the Civil War ended with the failure of Middle-earth, the King of Qi's plan to go north will fail, and the King of Qi's mission to guard the northern border will also fail. In order to avoid the King of Qi's disaster, the Holy Lord will definitely recall him to the capital. The King of Qi was discouraged and lost his heart to fight for hegemony and was unable to recover."

Li Fengyun sighed in a low voice when he said this, "Eastern and the earth are very confident, they are disdainful of the Northern Territory, and they are bound to win the Civil War, but why did the First Eastern Expedition end in a crushing defeat? Internal unity is the basic condition for winning the foreign war. The second Eastern Expedition failed and made the same mistake. It is not difficult to infer that if the Holy Lord and the centralized faction cannot learn from the lessons, cannot compromise and concessions to the conservatives, and cannot fundamentally ease the fundamental contradiction of reform and conservatism, which causes internal disasters, then in the Civil War, they must make the same mistakes and will inevitably repeat the same mistakes. The outcome of the war can be imagined."

"Although someone has been working hard to win the Civil War, someone's pessimistic attitude towards the future remains unchanged and is becoming more and more pessimistic. Because the fundamental contradictions that led to the sharp decline of Middle-earth are becoming increasingly sharp and out of control, so in a certain future planning, the development of our own strength is always the first priority. As long as we have the strength, we can survive even if the environment is bad, and once the time comes, we can take the opportunity to compete for domination. Therefore, whether it is the King of Qi or the Civil War, for us, they are tools and means to develop strength. As long as we make good use of it, firmly believe in winning, and persevere, we will surely achieve our future goals."

Zhen Baoche and the other two seemed to understand something. Li Fengyun did say the same thing many times, but every time due to different environments, different situations, and different expectations for the future, they each had a deeper understanding of the same words. So from their personal perspective, it was not that they selectively forget, but that they had different interpretations of the same person or the same thing under different "backgrounds". It seemed to be "forgotten", but in fact it was "not understanding".

"The strategy of regaining Anzhou in and out of the frontier is to solve our survival problems in the short term, and lay the foundation for us to dominate the northern border in the long term." Li Fengyun continued, "But many people, even most of them, see short-term interests, and the benefits brought by the confrontation between the north and the south and the war, because they have confidence in this war, including both the Holy Lord and the Central and the heroes of our alliance. They dare not and are willing to assume the consequences of failure. Just like the first Eastern Expedition, the losses caused by the failure cannot be compensated at all, so their countermeasures are based on the sure victory of the Civil War."

"Our opportunity to grow and grow is here. Our countermeasures are based on the possible failure of the Civil War, so as long as we find the fit between the two, we will definitely benefit from it. In this process, some may laugh at us for being short-sighted and ignorant, but when the truth is revealed, we will know who the truly smart person is."

The words "heart-to-heart talk" that Li Fengyun said opened his heart finally made Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao understand the real purpose of the strategy of regaining Anzhou, understand the real goal of Li Fengyun's plan to go north, and pointed out the correct direction for them to stay behind Feihu's independent development: at any time, in any environment, in any strategy, there is only one core purpose of the alliance, to develop its own strength.

The four of them bowed and parted. Li Fengyun headed north with horses, Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao waved to see him off. At some point in the future, they would meet again, but the place where they met was not in Feihu or Anzhou, but on the way to dominate the northern border.

Li Fengyun's mood was a little low. The words just now violated his original intention of raising the flag to rebel. His original intention was to save the great cause of unity in Middle-earth and save thousands of creatures in Middle-earth. For this reason, he set his goal on the Civil War and tried to reverse the torrent of history by winning the Civil War. However, the reality was cruel. No matter how hard he tried, he could not build the alliance into a large army that could turn the tide. In other words, his previous ideas were too naive and completely unrealistic fantasy, because the victory of the Civil War did not come from the courage and fearlessness of the border guarding army, but from the unity of the middle-earth, especially from the unity of the high-level powers.

From the unity of the central government, local government and Weifu. But now the game between the high-level power leaders of China and Turkey has become increasingly fierce with the Yang Xuangan mutiny. Both sides have completely broken up and met each other, either you die or I live. Although both sides temporarily compromised and tolerated due to the serious threat of internal and external troubles, the seemingly harmonious atmosphere cannot cover up the bloody battle of the dead. The high-level power leaders are trapped in an endless battle, which will inevitably affect the central government's control over the local government and Weifu. At present, rebellions are repeatedly in various places, rebels have repeatedly suppressed unfairly, the garrison in the border towns and garrisons, and the central government's move to modify the military system to recruit people to win the fruits, all reflect the sharp decline in the authoritarianism of the central government, and the competition between the local government and the central government is becoming increasingly fierce.

If the fundamental contradictions in the previous political situation are not resolved, they are trying to use an army to turn the tide and change the trajectory of historical progress. It is not only absurd, but also counterproductive, and there is a risk of intensifying the outbreak of contradictions.

Before, Li Fengyun was innocent and had fantasies, but Pei Shiju's cold refusal shattered Li Fengyun's dream, woke him up from the dream, and had to face the cruel reality. His own power was small, but even stronger, it could not reach the point of turning the tide and changing history, because the real environment would necessarily restrict the rise of any force to break the inherent balance, and the rushing direction of the long river of history was determined by the torrent formed by countless forces. Therefore, any force faced the torrent, and the result was that it was a swaying tree and overestimating one's own ability.

To follow the trend is the right way, to go with the flow of history to achieve one's own goal, and to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Li Fengyun's first decision after facing reality was to dominate the northern border. If he wants to achieve this goal, he must use the Civil War to make both the Central Earth and the Turks defeat each other, and then the Northern border is the thing in his pocket, which is within his hand. At that time, in order to heal his wounds, the Eastern Capital needed strength to block the Northern Barbarians and could only let them go. The Turks were unable to invade again, and could only look at the people who took advantage of the situation. In this way, Li Fengyun could sit firmly in the northern border, grow and grow, and wait for an opportunity to move.

Li Fengyun's goal is the King of the North. In the time of chaos in the world, he strives to sweep north of the Yellow River in the shortest time and capture all the heroes of the north in one place. This can also achieve the goal of saving millions of creatures from water and fire, and follow the trend and have great hope of success. In comparison, if you go against the will of heaven, you must change history without overestimating your own abilities and save the people by changing history. That hope is not slim, but there is no hope at all.

On August 24th, the King of Qi first received a secret letter from the second Li. Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong decided to march north to the frontier on the 23rd of this month, asking the King of Qi to follow up and provide support as promised.

The King of Qi was ready to go north and waited for the second Li to reply to confirm. The King of Qi immediately ordered that the general of Wu Ben Lang Li Shanheng lead the army to attack Changshan Pass immediately and start the journey north.

Late at night on August 24, Feng Deyi, a Neishishe, took the Holy Lord's order to arrive at the camp of King Qi.

The King of Qi was very happy. This was a good omen. Before he was about to enter Yanbei, he finally won the gift of the Holy Lord as he wished and went north legally in the name of patrolling the border. In a sense, this represents the compromise of the Holy Lord and the Saint Lord who rescued him at the last moment of the King of Qi's political suicide, giving the King of Qi a chance to start over.

The King of Qi was so excited that he rushed to Changshan Pass overnight.
