On April 30, the king of Qi and Li Zixiong led their troops to the domestic city.

Li Zixiong received Li Fengyun's urgent letter, Xuanfeng Army had captured Longlin, crossed the Yanshui, and went along the southeast foot of Jiangnan Mountain to kill the Dading River and the first line of Sashui, and was about to start a fierce battle with the main army of Goguryeo, and the infantry army must follow up immediately, without the slightest delay, so as not to delay the major event.

Li Zixiong brought six infantry regiments, among which Han Shige had already crossed the river east with the three armies of Huben, Fengyun and Leopard Cavalry, and it was only three or four days away from Li Fengyun and Xuanfeng's army at most, so Li Zixiong was not in a hurry, what he was most anxious about was what to do with King Qi? Should they cross the river and march east with the large army and fight deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo at great risk, or should they stay in the domestic city and wait and see what happens, striving to obtain the maximum benefits under the safest conditions?

Although the King of Qi and Li Fengyun did not turn against each other, Anton was in fact unable to form an alliance with the King of Qi again, and then be used by the King of Qi and charge into battle for the King of Qi. Today, there are many factions within Anton, even if Li Fengyun is strong, it is difficult to cover the sky with one hand, and he can only compromise and compromise on the basis of seeking common interests. Of course, it is necessary to fight back, as for how to fight back, Li Zixiong has no way to speculate, but one thing is certain, in the absence of any trust between the two sides, cooperation is pure self-deception, so that the king of Qi went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo to fight, not only to bring unpredictable danger to himself, but also to the army of Andong to bring immeasurable harm, once the internal collapse, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, Li Zixiong's attitude is very clear, the king of Qi can stop, he can temporarily rest in the domestic city, observe the battle situation on the front line, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the arrival of Li Hun and Anton's follow-up army.

Li Zixiong took the initiative to find Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, hoping to persuade the king of Qi through these two, but now because of his different interests, his position has changed, and he no longer resolutely supports the king of Qi, so the relationship with the king of Qi has taken a sharp turn for the worse, so if he personally comes forward to persuade the king of Qi, it may backfire.

Li Zixiong got straight to the point, and said it very bluntly, after the main force of the Andong Army entered the hinterland of Goguryeo, there was no possibility of hiding traces, and it was bound to be bloody battles, and the Goguryeo people were also at the end of the road, and they were bound to fight back desperately, so every battle was very hard, and even very tragic, if the king of Qi came to the front line in this crisis, he would inevitably be in danger, once there was a personal accident, or even martyrdom, the only remaining prince died on the battlefield, then the consequences would be serious, not only everyone's head could not be saved, but even our family would be wiped out.

Wei Fusi knew Li Zixiong's intentions as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked, "Is this Wen Xigong's (Pei Shiju)'s request, or is it the suggestion of the white hair?" ”

"That's So-and-so's suggestion." Li Zixiong said solemnly, "Please also ask Duke Dangyang and Duke Wencheng to start from the overall situation, weigh it carefully, and don't take trouble for yourself because of small mistakes." ”

Wei Fusi nodded, "Staying in the domestic city is indeed the best policy. Then his eyes showed bitterness, and he sighed helplessly, "But the problem is that now the King of Qi is eager to prove himself to the Holy Lord, eager to protect himself with the martial arts of opening the territory, and even hopes to impress the Holy Lord and open the door to the East Palace for him again." Wei Fusi stretched out his hands to Li Zixiong and smiled bitterly, "He has never had the courage to face reality, and he has always had unrealistic illusions about the Holy Lord, and he is helpless. ”

Li Zixiong frowned, and turned his eyes to look at Li Shanheng, who was sitting on the side with a gloomy expression, "What does Duke Wencheng have to say?" ”

"At this point, the king has no way back, and if he loses, he has nothing, only by capturing Pyongyang and destroying Goguryeo, and winning the victory of the Third Eastern Crusade, can he fight his way out of the desperate situation." Li Shanheng was resolute and categorically rejected Li Zixiong's proposal, "It is absolutely impossible for the king to stop in the domestic city, and a certain and 20,000 soldiers will not stay on the west bank of Yalu Water to watch." ”

Li Zixiong sighed bitterly. Since he couldn't convince Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, it was impossible to dissuade King Qi, so he had to compromise and retreat.

"In front-line operations, battlefield command should be highly centralized, and there can only be one supreme commander and one supreme decision-maker." Li Zixiong Zhengse said, "If the Andong Army wants to achieve the predetermined goal and win the victory of this Eastern Crusade, it must absolutely obey Deputy Metropolitan Protector Li and absolutely obey the orders of Deputy Metropolitan Protector Li. ”

Command is the most headache, the most thorny, the most difficult to solve, and the most likely to lead to infighting. On the side of the Anton Army, the status of the King of Qi is the most powerful, although the Holy Lord and the Eastern Expedition Command have not publicly and clearly instructed the King of Qi to be the supreme commander here, but in the sense of reason and law, the King of Qi is of course the supreme commander when he arrives at the front line, that is, the highest decision-maker, which station he goes, the Anton Army must obey up and down, even if it is to be disobeyed by the yang and the yin, it is also a secret thing behind the scenes, if you openly oppose the King of Qi and confront the King of Qi, it is very likely to attract public anger and become the target of public criticism.

This is what Li Fengyun, Li Zixiong, Han Shige and other Anton commanders are worried about, but it is a situation that King Qi, Li Hun, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and other ill-intentioned people are willing to see, they are waiting for this moment, that is, to use victory or defeat to coerce Li Fengyun and Anton's generals, forcing them to bow their heads and have to accept the reality of being forcibly pulled onto the thief ship by King Qi.

This is a conspiracy, which made Li Fengyun and Andong's army helpless, and the Holy Lord and the Eastern Expedition Command were both "silent" because they made a pessimistic judgment about King Qi going north to Fuyu without authorization, which was tantamount to helping King Qi in disguise, causing Anton's internal contradictions to deteriorate rapidly with the rapid development of the war situation.

Li Zixiong couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to openly find out the fundamental contradiction between the two sides.

In the end, regardless of whether the king of Qi can actually seize the supreme command of the Anton army, his respected status and de facto existence are a great deterrent to the top and bottom of the Anton army, which will not only damage Li Fengyun's personal authority and undermine the internal unity of the Anton army, but also seriously endanger the safety of the Anton army, and also have an immeasurable bad impact on the goal of the Anton army's eastward crusade.

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other and smiled, and a hint of smugness flashed in their eyes. No matter how rebellious you are, as long as you are within the scope of Middle-earth, you will not be able to escape the constraints of Middle-earth's etiquette, and you will have to bow your head at critical moments.

"You're thinking too much." Wei Fusi stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course, the Anton Army must follow the orders of Deputy Metropolitan Protector Li. ”

"But ......" Li Shanheng quietly "shot back", "the king of Qi is the ambassador of Liaodong and assumes the responsibility of supervising the army of the Eastern Expedition, and the army of Anton is part of the army of the Eastern Expedition, and it is natural to accept the supervision of the king of Qi, that is to say, any major decision of the army of Anton must be informed to the king of Qi and the king of Qi's opinion must be sought." ”

Li Zixiong made the contradiction clear, and Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng also said that King Qi would definitely go to the front line, and King Qi would definitely participate in and supervise all the decisions of the Anton Army. This battle is very important, not only directly related to the survival of Anton, but also directly related to the survival of King Qi, so only by shelving the past suspicions and sincere cooperation can the two sides achieve victory and take what they need.

Li Zixiong smiled, and laughed angrily.

Now Li Zixiong's personal interests are firmly tied to Anton's overall interests, Anton's bottom line is Li Zixiong's bottom line, Li Zixiong wants to win the victory of the Eastern Crusade and save the lives of the soldiers, while the political interests of King Qi, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and others are supreme, ignoring the lives of Anton's soldiers for the sake of political interests, and ignoring the victory or defeat of the Eastern Crusade, which touches Anton's bottom line, crosses Li Zixiong's bottom line, and Li Zixiong is angry.

"Anton fulfilled his promise and gave King Qi enough benefits." Li Zixiong said, "And King Qi did not fulfill his promise, and even betrayed his promise at the critical moment, and stabbed Anton in the back, and now it is even worse, for his unrealistic fantasy, he has to pay for Anton's survival." ”

Li Zixiong looked at the complacent Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, and asked word by word, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of provoking Anton?" ”

It doesn't matter if King Qi is unwilling to fulfill his promise, but he can't betray the Flying Fox Legion, if it weren't for Li Fengyun's early precautions and reserved a back hand, he would inevitably be slashed bloody by King Qi's back, and now King Qi is even more intensified, chasing Anton to "kill the killer", this problem is serious, after all, Li Fengyun is not a good person, back then, he was a secret soldier, and he dared to directly fight the Yuwen brothers as enemies and provoke a storm in Yulin, not to mention that now he dominates one side, and there is Pei Shiju's public support behind him, Its strength is so strong that even Yuwenshu is afraid of three points, let alone the "embattled" King of Qi.

Wei Fusi laughed and mocked, "What about provoking Anton? Could it be that Bai Hai still dared to openly confront King Qi and openly slap the Holy Lord in the face? ”

Li Zixiong laughed, looked at Wei Fusi, and then at Li Shanheng, with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Your death on the battlefield is an unbearable loss to King Qi, but for the Holy Lord, I am happy to see it." ”

Li Zixiong's public threat made Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng Huo Ran change color and become furious.

April 30, the west bank of Yalu Water, Bo Shan City.

Cui Hongsheng's heart was full of joy, the thing he was most worried about and afraid of, the haze that had been hanging over his heart since he set out on the expedition, was suddenly swept away.

The twelve ladies sent a secret letter, Li Fengyun took 30,000 captives to control the strings as the selection of the front, invincible, a few days ago has crossed the water, is along the southeast foot of Jiangnan Mountain, the wind and lightning down, straight to the Dading River, the first line of Sashui, directly kill the hinterland of Goguryeo, but the whereabouts have been leaked, Pyongyang will soon react, the Goguryeo people are bound to fight to the death, the next battle will be very fierce.

The whereabouts were leaked and the battle was fierce, which was all expected by Cui Hongsheng. It is simply impossible for such a large-scale long-distance attack deep into the enemy's territory to reach the city of Pyongyang silently, and the Andong army will be exposed sooner or later, but the later it is exposed, the slower the enemy's reaction will be, and the more favorable the Andong army's attack on Pyongyang will be.

Luo Yi also wrote to inform him that he had received the news that the Anton army had crossed the water on the way, so he decided to cross the river and march east as soon as he got in touch with the Anton army.

In this way, the two-way attack on Pyongyang has been completed, and the army of the Eastern Expedition has the conditions to forcibly cross the Yalu water.

Cui Hongsheng immediately rushed to the city of black bones to report the good news to Guo Rong, the general of the right guard, and Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard, who were besieging the city.
