Yuan An had two letters from Li Zixiong in his hand.

A letter was written on November 26, telling Li Fengyun that the Holy Lord ordered Li Hun to be the deputy commander of Andong, and that the situation in the Great Wall had changed. Li Fengyun was asked to return quickly, and all the funerals in the Northern Expedition could be entrusted to Han Shiyan.

There was also a letter written on November 27, telling Li Fengyun that Li Min arrived in Fangcheng under the protection of Cui Jiu and Li Sixing, and brought the decision of the Feihu Left Legion. The rich and powerful generals unanimously decided to evacuate Yanbei and go out to the frontier to meet the main force, soliciting Li Fengyun's opinions. Cui Jiu's arrival represented the sincerity of the cooperation of the Cui clan of Boling, and Cui also hoped that Li Fengyun would withdraw the Feihu Left Legion to Anzhou as soon as possible. However, Cui was under heavy pressure. Cui Jiu was eager to see Li Fengyun, so he ran without stopping and drove north to ask Hechen River to leave.

After reading the letter, Li Fengyun pondered for a long time, but hesitated.

Yuan An couldn't help but speak cautiously, "Li Min came to Anzhou from afar, nominally for the Feihu Haoshangs to solicit opinions on behalf of the Feihu Haoshang. In fact, he joined forces with Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong) to pressure Ming Gong to make concessions so that the Feihu's legions can retreat to Anzhou as soon as possible. Just now, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee set up the Andong Duwei Mansion, making an open attitude of pacifying Anzhou and the Northeast, opening the door to return to Central Earth. In this way, both the rich and the chiefs inside and outside the pass were ecstatic and flocked to him, forming an irreversible trend, which was difficult to stop."

Li Fengyun was helpless, angry, and felt regretful, and felt deeply tired. People were realistic. Faced with real benefits that were within their reach, few people could refuse temptation and continue to overcome obstacles and move forward bravely to win greater benefits. And the only few tenacious people, under the pressure of the general trend, had to compromise and surrender.

According to Li Fengyun's idea, if the Feihu Legion works together to defend Yanbei, and cooperate with the King of Qi and the main legion outside the Great Wall to form a three-way response trend inside and outside the Great Wall, and the three parties support each other and develop together, the situation will be more beneficial to our side. In the future, the country will collapse and the heroes will compete for the future, and we can get the moon first, occupy the northern border as quickly as possible, and take the lead in the overall situation of competing for the world, then the great interests of the future are immeasurable. However, at this moment, no one thinks that Zhongtu will lose the Civil War, the country will collapse, the cause of unification will fall apart, and the elixir will fall into division and war again. Everyone thinks that Zhongtu will be prosperous and will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, the alliance's heroes have the same choice for the future, and they all want to return to Zhongtu as soon as possible, and they all want to get a piece of the pie in the feast of Zhongtu's prosperity.

Yuan An saw Li Fengyun thinking and said nothing, knowing that although Li Fengyun had already expressed his opinion on the issue of staying and leaving the Feihu Left Legion, he had no choice but to retreat to Anzhou, but the current situation in Feihu is obviously not in a dilemma of ending and desperate situation, so Li Fengyun was unwilling to accept it. In addition, the northern expedition has not yet ended, and the situation in the Northeast still remains variable. The alliance has not yet fully controlled Anzhou and Northeast. At present, it is not the best time for Feihu Left Legion to come out of seclusion. This is also an important reason why Li Fengyun is hesitant.

"Ming Gong, at this critical moment, we must follow the trend, work together, and be united in the outside world, and never go against the current and intensify conflicts. Once the Ming Gong's authority is damaged and he loses control of the alliance, the good situation will be lost. This will not only hurt ourselves, but also make the enemy in vain."

Hearing Yuan An’s blunt advice, Li Fengyun nodded slightly and expressed his acceptance.

Yuan An exclaimed secretly. The reason why he suppressed Li Zixiong's two letters was to persuade Li Fengyun in person, so as not to be influenced by the captive generals and the chiefs of tribes such as the Xi clan, Khitan, etc., and to temporarily suspend or even refuse the Feihu Legion to leave the seclusion due to various concerns.

As the alliance's achievements outside the Great Wall became greater and greater, and the call for return became higher and higher. With Li Zixiong and other incoming nobles pressing step by step, and with all forces within the Great Wall echoing each other, the Flying Fox Legion's exit from the seclusion is unstoppable, unless the alliance turns against the Central and Turkish officials and breaks his own way. However, Li Fengyun has lofty ambitions, not only to win the Civil War, but also wants to save the great cause of unification. It is urgent to develop strength. It is impossible to turn against the Central and Turkish officials in the short term. In this way, Li Fengyun will advance and retreat and be in a difficult situation. Over time, the internal and external situation will be unfavorable to Li Fengyun, and will inevitably seriously damage his personal authority. This will lay the scourge of internal strife and division, which will have great harm to the future of the alliance.

"Ming Gong, if you have to break down, you will be in trouble." Yuan An continued while the iron was hot, "Since Ming Gong has made a decision, don't delay it. He urgently sued Feihu, ordered Zhen Baoche, Chen Rui and Han Yao to evacuate Yanbei and travel day and night to Anzhou; at the same time, he urgently sued Duke Jianchang and the General Administration Office to prepare to welcome the Feihu army out of seclusion; in addition, he urgently sued Yang Gongdao, negotiated with the Great Wall, and asked the Great Wall to make a promise to ensure their safety during the evacuation of the Feihu army, and not betrayal, go back on their word, and take a shady move behind the scenes."

Li Fengyun smiled and shook his head, "It is easy to order the Feihu Army out of the customs, but it is too difficult to ensure the Feihu Army out of the customs safely. This is also one of the reasons why I hesitate."

Yuan An agreed with Li Fengyun’s words, but he was puzzled by the question, “The current situation is beneficial to us, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have even taken the initiative to open the door to return for us. Since this is the case, why did the Holy Lord and the Central Committee still put the flying fox army to death? Is it because they were worried that raising a tiger would cause trouble, so they would turn against us and destroy this great situation?”

Li Fengyun thought for a moment and said with a pun, "Since Zhang Jin said he could kill Feng Xiaoci, why can't Duan Da encircle and suppress the Feihu rebels?"

Feng Xiaoci did die on the battlefield where Zhang Jincheng encircled Zhang, but who can guarantee that there is no conspiracy behind his death? Feng Xiaoci just made great contributions to quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and died in a blink of an eye under a small Hebei thief. Is there such an incredible thing?

Yuan An looked solemn, "Sage is the main revenge?"

"The Holy Lord may want to open his mind, but the people around the Holy Lord will not swallow this resentment." Li Fengyun sighed, "The better we fight outside the border, the tighter the throat will be pinched by the Holy Lord. Without the support from the Great Wall, we will find it difficult to survive. It is not difficult to imagine what if Duan Da betrays his faith and suddenly attacks the flying fox army? We don't even have the ability to retaliate, and can only knock down teeth and swallow them, and endure it."

Yuan Abe felt tricky. He made mistakes with one step. If the flying fox army was wiped out in the Great Wall, but the Anzhou army outside the Great Wall was helpless and could not help but prove that it was vulnerable. It is conceivable that the future would be eaten by the Chinese authorities and fall into extreme passiveness.

"Don't think I'm exaggerating." Li Fengyun said, "Whether inside or outside the Great Wall, most people, even the King of Qi who have been hit hard, have unrealistic fantasies about the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. These fantasies make them lose themselves and will inevitably make wrong choices at critical moments. This is true for the King of Qi, Wei Fusi, Li Zixiong and others. As for those heroes, the chiefs are even more unbearable."

Yuan An smiled bitterly, "Since no one can count on him, then he can only count on himself. Does Ming Gong have a solution?"

"Turkish people." Li Fengyun said, "The key to whether the flying fox army can be safely out of seclusion lies in the Turks."

Yuan An was puzzled and bowed to ask for advice.

"If Anzhou and Northeast form a two-way Han captive heroes, the alliance army led by our Middle-earth people and the Donghu coalition led by the Turks share Anzhou and Northeast, the difficulty of returning to Middle-earth will increase infinitely." Li Fengyun smiled, "Once the Turks open their mouths and offer a price for return, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have no choice but to win us over and help us quickly strengthen our strength, in order to surpass the Turks in force and ultimately coerce the Turks to compromise. The cheapest and most convenient way to achieve this goal is to safely send the flying fox army to the outside of the border."

Yuan An's eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly, "So that's it. It turns out that Ming Gong had expected it." Then he frowned and expressed his worries. "Ming Gong, do you know why Cui Jiu went abroad and is now rushing and galloping? The Holy Lord has issued an edict requiring Huang Taigong (Cui Hongsheng) to resolve the disaster of flying foxes before the end of the year. However, according to Ming Gong's plan, it will take time to end the northern expedition, and return negotiations will also take time. When the two sides have agreed and agreed, spring has already bloomed. Ming Gong, Cui, must not be able to wait, and Huang Taigong is in danger."

Li Fengyun had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Yuan An sighed secretly that both sides were for their own benefit and no one could compromise. Of course, there was no way to achieve the best of both worlds. However, the Cui ally was too important. Whether in the past, present or future, they would do their best to win over. Turning against each other into enemies will not benefit both sides, and both sides will be defeated.

On the fourth day of December, Chifeng Jinkou, the Alliance Army General Battalion.

Under the protection of Cui Jiu and Li Sixing, the twelve ladies of the Cui family rushed to Chifengjin.

The ice and snow outside the frontier are beautiful, but Cui Yu has no intention of appreciating it and urgently visits Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun was stunned when he saw the Twelve Lady standing in the tent. No matter what, he did not expect that the Twelve Lady was so bold that she dared to hide her body and go out privately. What was even more incredible was that Cui Hongsheng could not know about this, but Cui Hongsheng obviously did not spoil her daughter, but was forced to do nothing and had to come up with this bad plan.

Cui Yu's arrival means that the cooperation between Cui and the alliance is becoming more and more in-depth, and the interests of both parties are closer. This makes Li Fengyun realize that he must give Cui a satisfactory answer and must meet Cui's requirements, otherwise both sides will suffer losses and will not benefit both parties.
