On the 14th day of the first lunar month, the General Administration of the Alliance.

Li Zixiong and other senior executives of the alliance were anxious and unable to sleep at night, waiting for news from Li Fengyun. The result was beyond their expectations. The negotiations between Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju were soon over, and Li Fengyun came back soon.

Everyone was feeling cold and in a low mood. The negotiation time was so short that there was definitely no result, and both sides could even have the possibility of a collapse in the negotiation.

Li Fengyun's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

When everyone waited for the worst, they had no intention of digging in the matter, so they dispersed at the warning of Li Zixiong.

Li Zixiong, Yuan An and Xiao Yi, three members of the core alliance, stayed.

"Does Wen Xigong veto it or do you have room for anything?" Li Zixiong asked.

Li Fengyun shook his head and sighed, "He did not veto it."

Li Zixiong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Li Pingyuan?"

Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked at each other with a solemn expression. Of course, they knew who Li Pingyuan was, and also knew that Li Zixiong said the meaning of the three words "Li Pingyuan" at this moment. The top leaders of the alliance actually made this prediction on the direction of negotiations, but because Li Fengyun had made a decision on this, and if the negotiations develop in this direction, the involvement will be wider and the variables will be greater. Therefore, when the negotiations did not fall into a deadlock and the situation was not extremely urgent, the alliance did not want to closely link Li Pingyuan with autonomy.

Li Fengyun nodded, but was also frowning, "Li Pingyuan."

Li Zixiong looked at Yuan An and Xiao Yi, and the three of them looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, Li Zixiong sighed, "From the moment when the Holy Lord ordered Li Pingyuan to become the commander of Andong, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had already set a direction for pacifying Andong. However, Anzhou had just conquered it, and the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition was uncertain. We had no time to pay attention to it. They ignored the mystery hidden behind this edict, or in other words, we were unwilling to be shackled by our weaknesses, and we did not want to see our fate be controlled by others, so we consciously escaped. However, strength determines everything, and the arm can't twist the thigh, and what should come will come after all. Now Pei Shiju is here, and proposed to exchange Li Pingyuan for Andong's military power, which directly pushed us to the forefront. What if it does?"

"The storm at the storm?" Xiao Qiu sighed bitterly, "Duke Jianchang, according to our analysis and deduction, if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee are determined to exchange Li Pingyuan for Andong's military power, then for some people, the future will not be on the storm at the storm, but fall into the bottomless abyss."

"Yes, the situation is very unfavorable to us." Yuan An also sighed, "There is a huge force behind Li Pingyuan. Now Li Pingyuan is dominant in Andong, with more than 100,000 Han captive troops, and is even more powerful. Not only does it directly change the direction of the north and south trends, it also has an impact on the fate of Central Earth. In this situation, if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee want to subdue or even kill this tiger, they can only take advantage of its wings to eliminate its cliques first, weaken its power, and minimize its threat, otherwise they will suffer in the future."

"I made a decision and told you clearly before the negotiation that Li Pingyuan is dead, and only Li Fengyun is alive to ensure that you will not be plotted by your opponent. But now it seems that I am too arrogant. Not only did I seriously underestimate the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, but I am even more bold and arrogant to the point of making a fuss with the tiger. As a result, not only did I not calculate Pei Shiju, but I was caught by Pei Shiju, so that I was in a dilemma today."

Hearing this, Yuan An and Xiao Yi were secretly surprised and felt ominous. However, Li Zixiong was calm. Before, he guessed that Li Fengyun was going to "pull" Pei Shiju into An Dong Chong as a shield, he had a premonition that Li Fengyun was "playing with fire". Who is Pei Shiju? He was extremely afraid of political tycoon, and the young Li Fengyun was not the opponent?

"Would Mr. Wen Xi come here to inform me directly or design coercion?" Li Zixiong asked.

"It should be told." Li Fengyun's eyes were cold and he was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't know his true intention before. After he determined that his goal was the Civil War, he took decisive action to exchange Li Pingyuan for Andong's military power and strive to maximize his interests. However, he learned from the lessons of the Yulin Storm that year, no longer trusted him, and determined to tie him up and do his best to control the development of the situation."

"If it were someone, someone wouldn't trust you, and someone would try to tie your hands and feet." Li Zixiong shook his head and stroked his beard, "You lost control a long time ago. Now, looking at what you did, you are no longer out of control, but you are going crazy. Don't say that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee feel threatened, even Pei Shiju is afraid of repeating the mistake."

"I won't say it, this will not help solve the current crisis." Li Fengyun shook his hand, looked at Li Zixiong, Yuan An and Xiao Yi, and said solemnly, "With his understanding of Pei Shiju, since he came to Anton and was determined to solve all the problems of Anton, he would inevitably intervene strongly and completely control the development of the situation. In other words, since he made a decision and decided to exchange Li Pingyuan for Anton's military power, he would not compromise, nor would he delay, and he would definitely report the Holy Lord and the Central as quickly as possible. When the imperial edict was made, we were not passive, but we had no choice but to surrender and let Pei Shiju mercy. The result can be imagined. First of all, we were in chaos, our previous layout was broken, and we had to fight each other, and we were eventually defeated."

Speaking of this, the four people's expressions were very serious, their mood was heavy, and their atmosphere was very depressing.

"The reason why we can achieve today's results and create miracles when going north to fight is not that we make the right decisions, not that our soldiers are brave enough in fighting, nor that we are particularly lucky. It is that we have received strong support from the King of Qi, Jibei and Youyan wealthy families, and have benefited completely from the alliance and cooperation of the three parties." Li Fengyun continued, "According to the agreement, the three parties should share the results of the battle, but the reality is that if the situation is allowed to develop under the control of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, the greatest results will be stolen by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. The remaining small part of the results will be divided by the Hebei and Youyan wealthy families. Apart from the exchange for some living space and barely living money and food, we have nothing to gain. As for the King of Qi, not only can't enjoy the results of this battle, but we are betrayed by us and calculated by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and become the biggest victim."

Speaking of this, Li Fengyun became more and more angry, and his voice and expression were harsh. "The King of Qi was shooting himself in the foot and causing trouble. If he could keep the promise that after we captured Anzhou, he would immediately join forces with the Feihu Left Army to seize control of Yanbei, and then form a three-way attack with us, directly threatening the security of the Great Wall. In a serious crisis, the garrison in the northern border would be able to force the Holy Lord and the Central Government to compromise and concessions, and even prevent the Holy Lord and the Central Government from launching the third Eastern Expedition, and gain at least one year of war preparation time for Zhongtu. In this way, the three of us can not only share this result and develop and grow rapidly, but also help Zhongtu win more chances of victory in the Civil War. But at the critical moment, the King of Qi was actually afraid and retreated. It was outrageous! Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng, and Li Baiyao were also selfish. At the critical moment, it was not abducting King Qi to run wildly, but a little fantasy towards the Holy Lord like the King of Qi, which was stupid."

Li Zixiong had no expression on his face. He could see that he was very angry. He was very disappointed with the King of Qi, angry that he would not fight and mourn his misfortune. Yuan An and Xiao Yi were frightened. Li Fengyun was not angry, but he was murderous when he got angry, which was scary. However, the current problem cannot be solved. He must immediately come up with a countermeasure, otherwise the situation will be controlled by Pei Shiju, and the fruit of victory will be snatched away by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. Everyone has worked hard for nothing, but has become fish on the chopping board and slaughtered. It is too frustrating and cowardly.

After a long time, Li Zixiong sighed and said sadly, "See, things have come to this point, and you can't turn the world back with your personal strength. The teacher who learns from the past is the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han, and the mutiny of Yang Xuangan, and the bloody lessons. How can the Holy Lord and the Central Committee allow themselves to repeat the same mistakes? Now the third Eastern Expedition is imperative, and the Civil War is approaching, and the two capitals are fighting against each other, and local rebellions are also becoming increasingly fierce. In this bad situation, the King of Qi may become the second Han King at any time, and Li Hun and Li may also become the second Yang Xuangan at any time. Therefore, whether for the safety of the reign of the country or for the safety of Guanlong in the western border, the threats such as the King of Qi, Li Hun and Mr. must be quickly and completely eradicated. Otherwise, not to mention that the third Eastern Expedition may fail, the Civil War will have no chance of winning."

Li Fengyun, Yuan An and Xiao Yi looked cold and silent.

"Pei Shiju's decision represents the will of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee and cannot be changed." Li Zixiong continued, "Li Pingyuan exchanged for Andong's military power, and the premise that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee agreed was that Pei Shiju and Cui Hongsheng and other interested parties must make a guarantee to ensure that after Li Pingyuan took over Andong's military power, he immediately eliminated the unforgivable rebellion of the white-haired thief, and Han Shiye and others. At the same time, he also had to guarantee that Andong and the forces led by King Qi and Li Hun immediately drew a clear line to ensure that the Holy One should be safeguarded.

The Lord successfully resolved the two major hidden dangers of King Qi and Li Hun. If Li Pingyuan disobeyed or delayed the verdict, the victim was Pei Shiju, the Shandong powerful people headed by Cui Hongsheng. These were Li Pingyuan's support. The Holy Lord attacked them would be equivalent to weakening Li Pingyuan. The final result can be imagined. Li Pingyuan had no choice but to obey orders, otherwise he would be done. Not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians would be buried with him."

Li Fengyun sneered, "The alliance is infighting and is divided into pieces. The Holy Lord eliminated the disaster without any effort and took Anton. This is the result you are willing to see? This is the purpose of your struggle to live until now?"

Li Zixiong smiled, "Do you want to be a chariot with a mantis arm?"

"The future is not certain." Li Fengyun said, "The future is full of variables. The superposition of many variables will inevitably change the direction of progress. Just like going north to the fortress, did we expect today's results? So even if the Holy Lord and the Central Spirit make brilliant plans and make plans without any plans, it is impossible to guarantee that the plan will be successful or will definitely achieve the expected goals."

"Do you have a countermeasure?" Li Zixiong asked.

"No." Li Fengyun replied, "but I am confident that I will defeat my opponent."

Li Zixiong pondered for a moment and sighed, "If you want to defeat your opponent, you must abandon the King of Qi. King of Qi is no longer a variable, but the biggest obstacle."

"Then let go of King Qi." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "But we must protect Li Hun. If we protect Li Hun, we can protect the Chengji Li clan of Longxi. The Chengji Li clan of Longxi will ensure that the two capitals will temporarily put aside their struggles during the North-South War. Otherwise, the North-South War will undoubtedly be defeated, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You are wrong." Li Zixiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "For the Holy Lord and the Central Master, the most threatening is not the King of Qi, but Li Hun, the Li family in Longxi Chengji, and the Xijing."

"So we must protect Li Hun." Li Fengyun said, "In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Hun's threat to the Holy Lord is much smaller than that of the King of Qi, because Li Hun is far away in Andong, thousands of miles away from Longxi, and his foundation is in Longxi, and his power is in Western Xinjiang. So even if Li Hun wants to be the second Yang Xuangan, he is powerless and out of reach. This provides us with convenience in protecting Li Hun. Of course, the premise is that Li Hun realizes his danger and is willing to form an alliance with us."

Li Zixiong thought for a while and asked, "Did you meet Li Hun overnight?"

"Good!" Li Fengyun agreed immediately, "The faster the better."
