Chapter 712 Depressed King Qi
On August 30th, Qi Yishui, Dai royal city.
The King of Qi led his army to cross mountains and ridges, and walked rapidly day and night. Finally, he arrived at the shore of the Sanggan River without any danger and escaped from danger.
Although after the King of Qi arrived at Lingqiu, Li Min had his entourage and sent him all the way, the danger was true. After all, Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong were not in Feihu, and the rebellious heroes were difficult to restrain. Once a bold and arrogant person suddenly attacked and deliberately provoked a fight between the alliance and the King of Qi, the situation would inevitably be out of control. The soldiers of the Wei Mansion were not aware of the inside story and went deep into the dangerous place and were worried about being surrounded by rebels and being wiped out. Therefore, they were highly vigilant. If there was any disturbance, they might make a misjudgment and fight. Therefore, both sides were very careful and extremely cautious, and did not dare to have any contact. One was that the enemy would advance and retreat, avoid fighting, and the other was that the enemy would retreat and advance, passing quickly. Both sides were worried and trembled, fearing an accident.
When we arrived at the Dai Wang City, we went along the Qi Yi River dozens of miles ahead of the Sanggan River. At this time, the King of Qi and his soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their nervousness also relaxed. We suddenly felt exhausted, so we immediately camped and rested to recover our strength.
Li Min has been worried these days and has not been asleep. He is exhausted and unable to support him at this moment, but he cannot rest. He also needs to contact the frontier defenders as quickly as possible in order to obtain the latest news of the alliance's northern expedition army and the latest changes in the situation in Yanbei.
Fortunately, all I got were good news, and the changes in the situation in Yanbei were also beneficial to King Qi going north to the Great Wall. Li Min was in a good mood and was excited, and hurriedly reported to King Qi.
The King of Qi was originally worried, worried about this and that, and had no confidence in controlling Yanbei. After all, Yanbei is different from Qilu. There are northern barbarians outside and no food and fodder inside. Therefore, he must maintain an offensive externally to suppress the northern barbarians, and compromise and tolerate internally to obtain supplies. In short, there is a sharp sword hanging on his head and a noose around his neck. One of the nooses is held in the hands of the remaining guards of Zhuojun, which represents the interests of the Saint Lord and the central government, and is subject to restraint everywhere, which makes the King of Qi very uneasy. If the decision is good, the consequences are unbearable.
Now Yan Bei was caught off guard by Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong's sudden attack. All forces were beaten and were all dizzy, and they were bruised and swollen. The Yin Shishi Master was directly beaten down and dying. Zhao Shizhu "suburned his weapons" and cooperated tacitly. From the local interests, Han Maha did not dare to stand in a team at all. He could only swing left and right at both ends of the head and rat. This was actually passively beaten and handed over the initiative. In this situation, Yan Bei was in a mess. In order to protect himself, all forces had to make their own way of living, each taking advantage of their own profits, and even turned against each other to harm others and benefit themselves. The team was completely in chaos. This was very beneficial to the King of Qi. He could calmly clean up the chaos and easily take the opponent under coercion and temptation. Yan Bei became the object in his pocket.
The King of Qi was overjoyed and was very excited. The problem that troubled him was solved was a good omen. At the same time, he also deeply realized that Li Fengyun and the Alliance had developed to a certain scale, which was enough to affect or even change the regional situation. The addition of powerful forces such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, and Zhou Zhong made the alliance's strength expand rapidly. Now he can control the situation in Yanbei. If this continues, the alliance will inevitably lose control in the future. Once the raising tiger is a disaster, the consequences will be serious. If it is not done well, it will be self-respecting and rebelling into enemies. At that time, internal strife broke out, killing each other, and all previous efforts were wasted, and all efforts were gone. For this reason, the King of Qi had just left, and his new sorrow surged in his heart. He immediately thought about countermeasures, prepared for the future, and prevented the problems before it was burned.
The best countermeasure is to divide the alliance. Although Li Zixiong, Han Shiye, and Zhou Zhong nominally support the King of Qi. Competing with Li Fengyun within the alliance can help curb and weaken Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, Han Shiye, Zhou Zhong and others actually have their own thoughts and are not optimistic about the future of the King of Qi. The support for the King of Qi is very limited, and they are all with the idea of exploitation and cannot be truly used by the King of Qi. In addition, Li Fengyun came up with a strategy to recover Anzhou to reduce the conflicts with them and increase their trust, which led to the King of Qi's binding and attractiveness to them becoming worse and worse. The King of Qi knew this very well, so he wanted to use his own way to cure others. If you dig my corners, I will also dig your corners. In comparison, the King of Qi's attraction to the rich and powerful men in the alliance is much greater than the substantial benefits that Li Fengyun can give to Li Zixiong and other powerful people.
When the King of Qi had an idea, he acted, so he pretended to be carelessly asked in a discussion between Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao, Li Shanheng and Li Min, "If the white hair successfully recovers Anzhou and gains a foothold outside the border, when will you evacuate Feihu and rush to meet outside the border?"
Li Min replied without hesitation, "There is no specific time, and he has not even discussed the evacuation of Feihu (to go to the frontier to meet up."
The King of Qi was surprised. Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao and Li Shanheng also looked at each other. Such a big event not only concerns the future of the left-behind legion, but also the life and death of the alliance. Bai Hai did not discuss, discuss, and make decisions. Why? Could it be that the strategy of going out to fight to recover Anzhou was to be false, bluffed, and a shot, to lure the King of Qi to go north, to use the King of Qi to control Yanbei to hinder the Wei army from the four sides of the alliance? But this is not right. Bai Hai could deceive the King of Qi, but could not deceive Li Zixiong, Han Shiye and Zhou.
The only reason why the powerful and powerful people did not make decisions was that there was no such thing as a congregation. The alliance left-behind legion was developing in Yanbei, while the alliance northern army fought outside the frontier. The two armies echoed east and west, joined forces inside and outside, developed together, and planned the future together. What is the future? It was Youyan who wanted to use the banner of the King of Qi to actually control Youyan. Should the King of Qi cooperate? Of course, he could not find it. The King of Qi coveted the imperial throne, and Youyan was just a springboard to achieve this goal. Of course, he had to cooperate tacitly.
King Qi immediately realized the crisis. If the white-haired East-West echo strategy from another perspective, it is to completely control the initiative and control the development of the Youyan situation. Next, if the King Qi wants to control Youyan, he must rely on the power of the alliance. If the remaining residence of Zhuo County wants to defend Youyan, he must compromise with the local forces of Youyan and use the power of the Youyan wealthy clan to maintain the official control. In order to ensure its own interests, the local forces of Youyan will inevitably sway with both sides. Therefore, the alliance will receive secret support from the King of Qi and Youyan wealthy clans, and its strength will further develop, and its control over the situation of Youyan will be stronger, and eventually the four major forces will compete for Youyan.
This is a situation that King Qi absolutely does not want to see. He is the king, the boss, the white hair is a thief, and the thug. Although he cannot decide the life and death of white hair, he must firmly control the white hair, rather than letting the white hair grow to the point of being able to compete with him, or even control him in turn.
King Qi's face was gloomy and his mood was not good again. Wei Fusi, Li Baiyao, and Li Shanheng were also silent and thought about it.
After a long time, Li Shanheng took the lead in breaking his silence, "When we arrived here, the possibility of a conflict between us no longer exists, so at this time we should give each other more trust and exchange more information to seek better cooperation."
Li Min noticed that Li Shanheng lowered his attitude and took the initiative to talk about cooperation, but unfortunately, he could not respond. Not only did he not have this power, he also knew nothing about the core secrets. His father Li Zixiong did not reveal his words, Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao were also kept a tight mouth. All he could do was to smile bitterly.
"Everything that said is true and not deceiving," said Li Min. "In the alliance, there are also speculations about this matter. Most of the heroes believe that Li Fengyun's goal in the north is actually Yanbei. The so-called outbound travel is just a trick of doubting the army and is not credible. Since he is still fighting in Yanbei, how can he join forces? Although a few people know that Li Fengyun's real goal is Anzhou, they are all Li Fengyun's confidants. They obey Li Fengyun's orders and absolutely believe in Li Fengyun. Since they believe in Li Fengyun, how can they suspect that Li Fengyun abandon them? Of course, they will meet outside the border in the future. Therefore, in this matter, someone can provide very little information to the king."
Li Shanheng exchanged glances with King Qi, Wei Fusi, and Li Baiyao, and hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What information can you provide to the king?"
Along the way, we were highly wary of each other and did not dare to test each other to avoid misunderstandings, thinking that they had other intentions, and they did not dare to take the initiative to ask for trouble. After all, we were both enthusiastic and robbed, so there was no deep-seated exchange of information between the two sides for several days.
Li Min thought for a moment and took the initiative to reveal a secret, that is, the defensive deployment of the left-behind legion, among which the most troops defended the Qi Yishui line, were all Hebei heroes.
This is the core secret of the alliance, which should not be disclosed in reason, but Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao insisted on their own opinions and told Li Min to find an opportunity to tell the King of Qi, and Li Min could only do so. This secret is equivalent to a tactful warning to King of Qi not to try to control the left-behind legion, nor to deliberately divide the alliance, but to stick to the bottom line of cooperation, because the Hebei forces among the left-behind legion are too strong, and the Hebei wealthy families have greater influence on the left-behind legion. Once the King of Qi intends to control the left-behind legion and has a direct conflict with the Hebei wealthy families, the left-behind legion will inevitably be in danger of falling apart, which is not good for everyone.
The King of Qi's face was gloomy and he was in extreme discomfort. He had just had the idea here and planned to take advantage of Li Fengyun's outbound and the alliance was headless to win over and buy some heroes to directly control this force. The alliance issued a warning. Li Fengyun even had a precaution and had done a lot of work in defense deployment. He did not give the King of Qi a chance to "extend his hand" at all. This was simply an insult.
Li Shanheng deeply agreed that he could cooperate deeply with Li Fengyun, get what he needed and make his own profits, but it would be better to distance himself from the Hebei wealthy family. After all, this is someone else's territory. King Qi went to someone else's territory to "grab food" and harm his interests, which would inevitably lead to conflicts and conflicts. Once the Hebei wealthy family and Youyan wealthy family joined forces to "snipe" King Qi, the situation would be unfavorable.
Wei Fusi understood it and immediately responded to Li Min, expressing his tacit cooperation, and then asked cautiously, "At present, most of the remaining heroes and coaches are in Hebei. Can you ensure absolute control of the remaining army?"
This is a realistic problem. Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong took away all the main forces, leaving behind the trusted confidants who stick to Feihu, which is insufficient. In fact, it is difficult to guarantee absolute control of the remaining legion. This crisis will not break out immediately because the situation is unclear in the short term, but over time, the struggle will inevitably be fierce and the consequences are worrying.
Li Min didn't shy away and directly admitted the existence of the crisis, "So, we need the support of the king."
The King of Qi couldn't help but sneer, you group of sinister and cunning evil thieves are always planning to plot against the orphans. Do you think the orphans are crazy? You can support them and exchange them for profits.
