Chapter 105 Talking is useless
?On the seventh day of the fourth month, the King of Qi led his army to Fuyu City.
Deputy Guardian of Andong Li Hun went out of the city to greet him ten miles away.
Seeing that only Li Hun and several of his close associates were welcomed, King Qi was very disappointed and angry, but at the same time he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this cold scene was what he needed. What he was most worried about was that Anton had a grand welcome scene for some malicious purpose. Then he had face, but it also made the misunderstanding between the Holy Lord and the Central Committee even deeper.
The King of Qi looked cold, and Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng also had ugly expressions.
Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong not only did not come to welcome the King of Qi, but also their subordinates were missing. This is enough to show that the two Li Yu, King Ruhu, were unwilling to continue to support the King of Qi, nor did they dare to confront the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. In this way, the development of the situation was very different from what had been expected before. The two tried to use Anton's power to sweep the King of Qi to dominate the rule of the king of Qi, and completely failed. Where would they go in the future? Even if they followed Anton's army and got the credit for conquering Pyongyang and destroying Goguryeo, they could not escape the misfortune of being hit after returning to Dongdu.
After a little greeting, Wei Fusi couldn't wait to ask, "Where are Duke Hui, Deputy Protector Li and the generals of Andong's army?"
Li Hun hesitated and his eyes were on the King of Qi, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng's faces, flashing intently.
The scene in front of him and the position and attitude of Andong it represents, it is reasonable for King Qi and others to be furious. However, the countermeasures they will take after being furious have a great impact. It will not only affect the result of the third Eastern Expedition, but also affect the direction of the domestic political situation after the end of the Eastern Expedition, and even the victory or defeat of the North-South War. It must be treated with caution. Once it is not handled well, it will be a tragic situation where all forces and even the national destiny will be greatly affected.
This is also the reason why Li Fengyun was furious. Under the current situation, King Qi went north to Fuyu to join the army of Andong, which was purely a destruction of harming others, oneself and one country. This was no longer a matter of pulling people to the back of the country before death, but a slashing country's fortunes and Middle-earth interests at the same time, and unscrupulously harming the country's fortunes and the interests of the individual and small groups.
Li Hun has been solemnly warned and seriously threatened by Li Fengyun. Even though he agrees with and supports the move of King Qi, this is the battlefield in Liaodong. He is now temporarily sheltered from Anton because he is controlled and has to swallow his anger. He has to give priority to taking care of Anton's interests. He has to minimize the losses of political allies on the basis of taking into account the interests of the group. Otherwise, once Li Fengyun is angered and the result will be terrible.
"King, Deputy Protector Li led more than 20,000 cavalry of the elected cavalry to attack Huifachuan in the early morning of yesterday." Li Hun said calmly.
As soon as this statement came out, King Qi, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng were all surprised, looked at each other in disgrace.
Li Hun's words conveyed several clear messages. Li Fengyun is an ordinary person. He always does what he says and is more decisive. He will attack Pyongyang if he says he will attack Pyongyang. More importantly, he is good at making a move and fights whatever he wants. He will neither report to the Holy Lord and the Commander of the Eastern Expedition, nor seek the consent of the decision-makers. But because of this, the chances of victory are great. If he asks for everything, Li Fengyun will not have created a miracle of opening up Anton.
However, this was a blow to the King of Qi who hurried to Fuyu City with ulterior motives. Li Fengyun had launched an attack, and the eastern expedition of Andong's army had begun. However, without the decree of the Holy Lord, nor the order of the commander of the Eastern Expedition, it was purely Li Fengyun's personal behavior. His guilt was so great that it was equivalent to rebellion. At this time, the King of Qi came and was unable to stop it. Therefore, disaster fell from heaven and he had to bear the blame for no reason.
It is impolite to come but not to go. This is Li Fengyun's revenge. King Qi ran to Fuyu to pull me onto the pirate ship, and I launched an attack without authorization to take you to dive together. You poke me and I will give you a shot, and see who will laugh to the end.
Li Fengyun was gone, Li Zixiong was still there, and he was still the commander of Andong's generals. He could bring Han Shiye, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan and other generals to welcome the King of Qi, but he did not come, and Han Shiye and other generals did not come either. This fully shows that the forces within Andong had reached an agreement on the issue of the King of Qi, neither supporting nor forming an alliance. In this way, the King of Qi would be embarrassed to go north this time. He was alone, even if he wanted to rush to the front and grab credit, he would not be able to at most follow Anton's army to get some bargains.
But for Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, this time, instigating the King of Qi to go north to grab credit was not the key. The key was the stay and stay of the King of Qi after the end of the Eastern Expedition. Without Anton's support and Anton also refused to take over the King of Qi, it was a sure thing for the King of Qi to return to Dongdu. What should they do when the King of Qi returns to Dongdu? What should they do if the trusted and subordinates around the King of Qi? What should they do if the officers at all levels in the army who actively or passively followed the King of Qi? Do they all repeat the same mistakes and be killed by the Holy Lord like the previous case of King of Qi's "devil"?
After working hard to make a scheming in vain, it is conceivable how bad Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng were in a bad mood, but compared to it, King Qi was in a worse mood. Before he could enter Fuyu City, Li Fengyun dug a big hole for him. He did not see the shadow of his contribution, and the crime of abusing power fell from the sky. This is unreasonable.
"Who issued the order? Who allowed him to launch an attack in advance?" King Qi was furious and asked sternly.
Although the Eastern Expedition Command has revised its attack strategy and has made a decision to "advance water and land, attack together with three routes", it is of great importance and needs to be reported to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. It must be issued by the Holy Lord to formally implement it. If the decision of the Eastern Expedition Command is rejected by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, Li Fengyun's self-decision is likely to bring immeasurable consequences.
"King, the reasons for the inner world are very complicated. Anton is very passive. As he had no choice, Deputy Protector Li had to take the risk and take a risk."
Li Hun was very calm and informed the whole story in detail. Because the Eastern Expedition Command made a strong and clear hint of discomfort, and the Andong army was in trouble due to the severe shortage of food and grass weapons. In desperation, there was only one choice. He immediately attacked Huifachuan and rushed to Sumoshi, and to burn, kill, and plunder the Andong army to help the Andong army temporarily overcome the crisis.
"Although the king rushed north and gave strong support to Andong, far water could not relieve near thirst." Li Hun said at last, "Even if Huaiyuan was hampered by the heavy pressure of the king, Huai was a thousand miles away from Fuyu, and the journey was difficult to move. Once it was delayed, the Andong army would be in a dilemma. Attack, there was no sufficient food and grass weapons, and if it was lost, it would be a disaster. If it did not attack, it would be a resistance to the order and seek death. Therefore, the two evils were the least. Deputy Li would rather bear the blame for the abuse of power than let Andong's army survive the food and grass crisis, and let Andong's army quickly reach the city of Pyongyang to ensure the victory of the third Eastern Expedition and ensure that the interests of the country are not damaged."
The King of Qi's face gradually improved. Although he was still resentful to Li Fengyun and the generals of Andong, the arrogant generals of the Wei Mansion, especially the military bosses in the Eastern Expedition Command, were indeed not good things, one was worse than the other. The King of Qi was deeply touched by this point. If he had not been cursed and humiliated by Yuwen Shu, Guo Rong and other generals in Huaiyuan, he would not have been persuaded by Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng. Knowing the consequences were serious, he would have been determined to go north to Fuyu. To put it bluntly, he was just a bet. If you don't give me a chance to make contributions, I will fight Pyongyang by myself.
From this, it is not difficult to think of the attitude of the Eastern Expedition Command towards Li Fengyun and Andong's army. Therefore, there are various complex reasons for Li Fengyun's rushing to Huifachuan, but one of the most important reasons must be anger. You don't let me attack Pyongyang or take credit for credit. I insist on attacking Pyongyang, but I insist on grabbing credit for credit, and I insist on hitting your Wei Mansion in the face.
"It's time to come, and it's useless to talk more. Only by moving forward and killing Pyongyang."
The King of Qi figured it out and took it a lot. Anyway, he went north to Fuyu and had already made the Holy Lord angry. He didn't care about Li Fengyun digging a hole for him. In short, as long as he conquered Pyongyang, destroyed Goguryeo, proved his value, and achieved his goal of this trip, he would be able to compare his merits and demerits in the future when he was rewarded by merits and demerits. This result would definitely be far better than the pain of "hidden" in the commander's headquarters.
"When will Andong's main army set out?" asked the King of Qi, "Are you personally commanding Duke Huang?"
Li Hun shook his hand and said in a gloomy tone, "Originally, Anton's main legion was indeed led by a certain commander, but after hearing that the king came to Fuyu, Deputy Protector Li immediately made adjustments, and a certain commander of the rear army protected the baggage, and the main legion was led by Li Zixiong. Just wait for the selection of the front-superior horse army to conquer Huifachuan, the main legion immediately advanced eastward."
The face of King Qi was gloomy again. Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other, and a hint of disappointment flashed through their eyes.
Previously, King Qi, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng had hoped for Li Fengyun's negligence and omissions, and had more or less a illusion about Anton's military power. However, such a big thing, how dare Li Fengyun be careless and dig his own grave? Li Fengyun changed his commander at the time of the battle to ensure his absolute control over Anton's army. Li Hun was a staunch supporter of the King of Qi. Once Li Hun obeyed the will of King Yan and handed over the control of Anton's main army, the situation would inevitably be out of control and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Hun was full of complaints about this, but he had nowhere to vent. He couldn't shout at King Qi, right? He could only kill his teeth and swallow them.
The King of Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Duke Hui estimated when will Li Zixiong advance eastward?"
"As long as Huaiyuan sends food, grass and supplies, Li Zixiong will immediately lead his army eastward."
The King of Qi nodded and turned to Li Shanheng and said, "Transfer the Order to the Order and the Army camped on the spot." He also said to Wei Fusi, "I urgently report to Huaiyuan, saying that Order had arrived in Fuyu, but Deputy Li's Major Protector Li has led his army to attack Huifachuan and left. Order will follow up quickly. Please Huaiyuan must speed up the transportation of food, grass and supplies."
Then he faced Li Hun and said seriously, "Tomorrow, I will go to the city to inspect and comfort the troops. Please prepare for the preparations."
