Antel pondered without saying a word, weighing the pros and cons.

In name, Li Fengyun convinced the border merchants to "get rich" in Anzhou, but in fact, they threatened the lives of border merchants and forced the border merchants to act with his army to provide his army with all military supplies except weapons for a fee. To put it bluntly, it is free labor and you have to do it even if you don't. Otherwise, the border merchants will not only lose their property, but also lose their lives, so the border merchants have no choice at all. Of course, Li Fengyun did not do anything. As long as the border merchants are willing to live and die with him, share the joys and sorrows, then as long as Li Fengyun recovers Anzhou, slaughter the Xi tribe, and connects them with Youzhou in Central China, the border merchants will definitely make great profits.

Although this matter is very risky, the benefits are greater, and the risks are proportional to the benefits. However, what should I do if Li Fengyun fails and fails to recover Anzhou? The consequences will be serious. The risk of the merchants in the border market will eventually become a waste of money and a dead end.

However, Pei Shiju is famous, Li Fengyun and his brothers are a group of wise and brave people, and Zhongtu has been coveting Anzhou for a long time. So since this matter has begun, even Zhongtu’s future crown prince, King Qi, has personally participated in this matter, there will definitely be a result, and it is unlikely that he will give up halfway or fail.

Antel hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously, "In terms of your relationship, can you reveal the truth to me, how sure are you? How likely is it to win?"

Li Fengyun glanced at him and smiled, "Why, don't you believe me? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I have become unfamiliar with you and me, and I have seen each other, and I don't even believe me?"

Antel hurriedly shook his hand, "Brother Dao, this is over. My life is saved by you, my family's life is also saved by you, and even my wealth is thanks to your strong help. Although you have your purpose, from your personal feelings, my life is yours. As long as you say something, I will never refuse even if I go through fire and water."

Li Fengyun sneered, "You only have one truth, I help you, it does have purpose and plots, and we always have interests exchanges, so don't say it so beautifully. I am not a woman, child, old and weak, and I will not be deceived by your words of right and wrong. Tell me honestly, what do you want to know?"

Li Fengyun said this too "sharp", but Antel didn't care. He smiled and said, "I just want to know, how likely you are to win."

"Didn't you see that I am no longer the same as before? I am no longer a wolf hidden in the darkness, but a tiger exposed to the sun?"

"I saw that you are indeed different from the past and have strong strength." Antel said calmly, "Although this shocked me, this is outside the Great Wall, and Anzhou is also outside the Great Wall. Your strong strength will be greatly reduced immediately when it comes to outside the Great Wall. You should know this better than me."

"You mean I don't have a horse army?" Li Fengyun smiled, "So you think I'm not a match for the Turks and can't beat the Xi people in Anzhou, right?"

"Yes." Antel admitted very simply, "So I think you are lying to me. You will not be able to attack Anzhou for a long distance. You go out to attack the Turks is just a restraining strategy. There must be someone else who really attacks Anzhou, and there are other troops, because from Yanbei, you go out to the frontier and go through the Lightning River to take a detour to Anzhou. The journey is long and difficult, so there is no need to go around such a big circle to confuse your opponents? Take a step back and say, even if you don't lie to me, you don't have a horse army. Do you rely on your army of tens of thousands of people, the airtight battle formation and the long spear and Modao and other heavy troops? Take a step back and say, even if you defeat the Turks, but both lose and suffer great energy, can you still recover Anzhou?"

Li Fengyun looked at Antel meaningfully and said meaningfully, "Military secrets cannot be disclosed."

Antel showed disdain and said nothing.

"Okay, I'll tell you a little secret." Li Fengyun immediately changed his words, "We have been planning this for a long time. If Zhongtu wants to reverse the disadvantages of the northern border towns and garrisons, we must capture Anzhou. However, it takes the opportunity to cooperate, so we began to actively prepare. A few years ago, I ran around the northeastern border to make a pre-plan to recover Anzhou today. At that time, except for the guns and the wounds, the remaining six of us had their own division of labor. The hammer was in the weanhuang, the spear was in the lightning river, the sword and my sword were in Songmo, and the bow and axe were in Anzhou. The purpose was to recruit some horse thieves and thieves to become bigger and stronger. Once the time came, each led the team to gather together and became a powerful horse army."

"Now I bring 40,000 troops from both sides of the Middle Earth River, and then summoned six brothers to gather a horse army of thousands of people. Then with my strength, not to mention regaining Anzhou, it is very possible to dominate the Northeast." Li Fengyun waved his hand and was full of energy.

Antel's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He had already overestimated Li Fengyun, but if Li Fengyun said it was true, then his understanding of Li Fengyun was still far from enough.

"Even so, you only have 50% chance of winning at most." Antel "stubborn" and tried to use provocation to make Li Fengyun tell more secrets.

Li Fengyun laughed, too lazy to go around with Antel, "What you really want to know is nothing more than whether there are troops going out to the frontier to cooperate with Youzhou. I tell you clearly, don't have any illusions. At this moment, Zhongtu is not ready for the Civil War, so the Zhongtu emperor will not openly attack Anzhou or openly break up with the Turks. At present, I am the biggest thief in Zhongtu. In order to kill me, the Zhongtu emperor of Zhongtu had to drive away tigers and wolfs, and to use a knife to kill people, kill two birds with one stone, and win multiple goals in one fell swoop. However, I am willing to be the knife in the hands of the Zhongtu emperor, because I can use the power of Zhongtu to seize Anzhou and occupy the Northeast. Then I can use the benefits of the Northeast to threaten the Turks, threaten the Zhongtu emperor, and then make profits on both sides to realize my ambition of separatist dominance."

Antel looked solemn and sighed at Li Fengyun, "You want to fulfill your promise and take revenge?"

"I said that as long as I don't die, as long as God cares for me and is willing to give me more time to live, I must take revenge." Li Fengyun sneered, murderous intent, "Everyone who owe me blood hatred must be paid back with blood."

Antel said without saying a word, and after a long time, he said, "You are alone in attacking Anzhou, I don't believe it."

Li Fengyun frowned and looked fierce, "Why don't you believe it?"

"The Eastern Expedition of Middle-earth has ended." Antel said, "Although Middle-earth defeated once and returned empty-handedly in the two-year Eastern Expedition, the small Goguryeo country was vulnerable and suffered heavy losses and was at the end of its strength. It can be foreseen that the Goguryeo people will definitely surrender this winter. In addition, the Western Xinjiang crisis broke out in Central China, and the only way to resolve the Western Xinjiang crisis is to compromise with the Western Turks, but Middle-earth is definitely unwilling to make too much concessions, and it is bound to provoke the Turks from both the East and West.

In order to achieve this goal, some favorable conditions must be created. The conditions that must be met are that Middle-earth must break out of local war with the Turks in the desert. In this way, Middle-earth still cannot escape from the northern battlefield. The Western Turks see an opportunity. Once an attack on the Dajin Mountain (Altai Mountain), the Turks in the desert will definitely fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. Therefore, I think that Middle-earth at this moment should have the willingness and motivation to attack Anzhou and occupy the Northeast to launch a local war."

Anter pointed at Li Fengyun, "I have reason to be sure that when you go out to the frontier to fight, you certainly mean that the Middle Earth emperor uses a knife to kill people, but they are more of using you to restrain the Turks in the desert. If my guess is correct, then once the border merchants stand on your side and help you attack the Turks and become enemies with the Turks, the result is that the Turks will inevitably lose these border merchants and fall into greater difficulties in the North and South China-Russia Yizhong, and various materials will be scarce. Therefore, the Turks will launch a larger offensive to threaten the security of the Great Wall, and they will not be willing to take care of the Northeast battlefield. So Middle Earth gets what they want and successfully take Anzhou, reversing its disadvantage in the confrontation between the north and the south in one fell swoop."

Li Fengyun nodded repeatedly, showing a look of praise on his face, "Although you are well-informed in the desert, you cannot have such a clear understanding of the situation in the north and south." Li Fengyun hesitated and asked, "Who told you these words? Who did you hear?"

Antel hesitated.

"The situation in Yanbei suddenly changed, the smuggling channels were cut off, and the relationship between the north and the south was affected. The tent must be paid attention to it, and the princes and ministers must be sent to the southeastern Yaqi." Li Fengyun sneered and asked, "Tell me, who is here? Is it Shi Shuhu or An Wu Calling? Is An Wu Calling?"

Antel replied helplessly, "Chilifashi Shuhu and Huxi, and there are also Bitler Ashnasmo."

"Shi Shu and Hu Zhi?" Li Fengyun asked, "Is this what he told you? Is he judging that Middle-earth will launch a small-scale attack in the Northeast?"

Antel shook his head, "I have my news channels, but these words do come from Shi Shuhu Huxi's mouth."

"Is this why you have no confidence in me?" Li Fengyun showed his murderous intent, "You have repeatedly tried me to sell the secrets of Middle Earth to Shi Shu Huxi and please Shi Shu Huxi?"

Antel was startled and shook his hand repeatedly, "Don't misunderstand, I have no intention."

Li Fengyun looked at him, thinking about something, then the murderous aura on his face gradually faded, revealing a hint of joking, "Since that's the case, I will tell you the secret and ask you to sell it to Shi Shuhu, and you must sell it for a good price."

Antel was shocked and at a loss.

"But you can't just sell it to Shi Shu Huxi's family." Li Fengyun said, "This news is equally important to Chi Jishi. In addition, Bitterle is also in the Yaqi. He will also pay attention to the situation in the Northeast, so you can sell three stores and make a fortune."

Antel understood and immediately understood what Li Fengyun meant. His emotions were immediately stable, and his face was filled with smiles, "Since you asked me to sell, how dare I not obey? However, there must be a reliable source of information such confidential information, otherwise no one would believe it or buy it, so..."

"You tell them, and the knife is back."
