As the heat gradually faded, the atmosphere of the alliance became more and more tense. The officials of the General Office and the commanders of the various military forces knew that the war was coming, and the grassroots officers and soldiers also noticed the strange situation of the battle. The official army clearly had the advantage, but it was delayed in attacking, and there must be a greater storm brewing.

The anxiety of the soldiers affected the psychology of the commanders of the various military commanders. They all made suggestions to Li Fengyun, some of whom retreated early, while others suggested to attack the enemy unprepared. In short, the fear of fighting was generally serious, and the alliance troops did not have the courage and confidence to fight to the death.

Li Fengyun seemed calm, but in fact he was nervous. He was not afraid of King Qi. With the help of Li Mi and the forces behind him, he was confident that he would defeat King Qi. Although the alliance had to pay a heavy price for this, it was completely worth it. The alliance could only grow rapidly after the tempering of war, and the alliance could only condense into a solid group by experiencing repeated tests of life and death. However, the growth of the alliance cannot change the trajectory of historical progress. At least at this stage, Li Fengyun cannot see that the alliance has the possibility of changing history, but he longed to change history. This is his sacred ideal. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he would not want to miss it. At this stage, the King of Qi is the only hope that he can see to change history, so he hopes that Wei Fusi can appear again and bring him a glimmer of hope to realize his dream.

In his expectation, Wei Fusi appeared again.

The two's second secret conversation began with discussing Duan Wenzhen's legacy, and then deduced the various changes that might occur in the Eastern Expedition after the expedition forces rushed to Pyongyang for thousands of miles.

Li Fengyun concluded that Pyongyang would be defeated in one battle. If the navy who came to Hu'er failed to attack Pyongyang in advance, resulting in the failure of the land-based attack strategy, this battle might be a big defeat; if the expeditionary army was careless and underestimated the enemy by land and failed to protect its retreat, the entire army would be wiped out.

Wei Fusi was originally quite optimistic about the battle of Pyongyang. The expeditionary army attacked from land and land, and even if it failed to conquer Pyongyang, safe evacuation would not be a problem. It was a military defeat for the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. The military defeat was political defeat, and political defeat would force the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to compromise on many domestic political disputes. In this way, it would be very beneficial for the King of Qi to gain troops and develop their strength outside in the name of suppressing rebellion and suppressing thieves.

The King of Qi's move was justified. Even if the Holy Lord and the Central Master had a hundred oppositions in his heart, it was a pity that they could not care about it. In addition, if they wanted to win the victory of the Eastern Expedition, they did need stability in the domestic situation, so they did not find a reason to attack and contain the King of Qi. However, there was a major risk here. If the King of Qi had not developed yet, the Eastern Expedition would end successfully, and the Holy Lord returned triumphantly with the expeditionary army, and the disasters of the King of Qi followed one after another.

This is the reason why King Qi, Wei Fusi and others hesitated. It is also the reason why Wei Fusi first discussed the cause of the war in the Eastern Expedition with him after seeing Li Fengyun again. Wei Fusi was lucky to see if he could find out from Li Fengyun the view of the central core level on the situation in the Eastern Capital, so as to help them make up their final decision

Wei Fusi got what he wished. He heard an amazing deduction. Under pressure from all aspects, the Holy Lord might pin his hope of conquering Pyongyang on the navy of Lai Huer. He secretly ordered Lai Huer to attack the enemy unprepared. Taking advantage of the Goguryeo army's efforts to block the land expeditionary force on the Middle Earth, he conquered Pyongyang with thunder.

The authenticity of this deduction is very great. Why did the Holy Lord and the Central Committee ignore the opposition of the military and forcefully order the Expeditionary Force to implement Duan Wenzhen's legacy strategy? Doesn't the Holy Lord and the Central Committee know that the wrong attack strategy at the wrong time will bring fatal danger to the army? If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee use the land army as bait to attract and restrain the main army of Goguryeo on the front battlefield, the navy of Hu'er has been in the main force of attacking Pyongyang, and the surprise troops are prominent and win by surprise, it can reasonably explain why the Holy Lord and the Central Committee forcefully implemented Duan Wenzhen's legacy strategy at this moment. This is actually a trick to deceive and paralyze the enemy. While deceiving and paralyzing the enemy, they will take the enemy unexpectedly and give a fatal blow to the enemy.

However, there are traitors at the highest level of the central center. Once the strategy of attacking the enemy by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee is spread to Pyongyang, the Goguryeo people will be prepared for it. The "shock weapon" of the "shock" will not only lose its effect, but may also fall into the Goguryeo trap.

Wei Fusi's confidence was shaken. Although Li Fengyun's speculation about the battle in Pyongyang was based on extreme pessimism, as long as the Expeditionary Force took the initiative in a key link and had luck, the ending would be completely different. At least he could escape unscathed. After all, the strength of the Expeditionary Force was there, but Wei Fusi had a deep understanding of the cruel power game of the senior leaders of the Dongdu, and was also clear about the deep contradictions and fierce conflicts within the palace and the U.S. government. It was these contradictions and conflicts that caused the defeat of failure before the battle in Pyongyang was fought, and there were many disasters. As long as any of them broke out in battle, the Expeditionary Force would definitely be defeated.

"What will happen if you lose in the battle?" Wei Fusi's wise eyes showed a confused look, as if he asked himself, and seemed to ask Li Fengyun. He wanted to see the future clearly, but the future was shrouded in the fog, looming, giving him endless imagination, and also making him tremble, feeling fearful as if walking on thin ice and facing the abyss.

"The Eastern Expedition must continue, and the Eastern Expedition cannot be abandoned halfway." Li Fengyun said, "The Holy Lord will become more and more brave as he falls. If he loses the first battle, the second Eastern Expedition will begin soon."

Last time, Wei Fusi had heard of the second Eastern Expedition from Li Fengyun, but he didn't care. At that time, there was no evidence to prove that the secret provided by Li Fengyun was true and credible. He himself was still optimistic about the Eastern Expedition. This time, when he heard Li Fengyun predicted that there would be a second Eastern Expedition, he not only listened to it, but also took it as a basis for his deduction of the future development of the situation. He was also sure that Li Fengyun's statement was not aimless and was very likely to come from the central core level. In other words, the Holy Lord and the members of the central core level knew very well the difficulty of this Eastern Expedition. Confidence was self-confidence, but everything was unexpected, so they were also mentally prepared for the failure and came up with a rescue strategy, that is, to carry out the Second Eastern Expedition.

"The second Eastern Expedition should be unstoppable." Wei Fusi followed Li Fengyun's thinking and tried his best to find the direction of the future in the fog of fate. Goguryeo's small country has limited national strength, and continuous wars will destroy their national strength. Even if the Goguryeo people unite and fight to the death, even if Pyongyang City is tall, strong and unbreakable, the national treasury is exhausted and there is no money, grain and weapons, the battle will not be fought.

However, Li Fengyun's words made Wei Fusi shocked and stunned.

"The defeat in the first battle of the Eastern Expedition will have an incalculable impact on the political situation of the Eastern Capital. With the sharp decline of the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and as the Holy Lord decides to carry out the Second Eastern Expedition, it can be foreseeable that the opposition forces must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to overthrow the Holy Lord with force and destroy the reform and reconstruction of the Central Committee with violence. The civil war will inevitably break out, and the Second Eastern Expedition has to stop halfway and fail."

The conservative forces in the court were dissatisfied with the Holy Lord and opposed reform. This was an open secret. In the Yulin incident in the three years of Daye, the leaders of the conservative forces, Gao Ying, Yuwen Bi and He Ruobi, were killed by the Holy Lord, and countless people were affected. This made the contradiction between the reformists and the conservatives open. Although the conservative forces suffered heavy damage and had to compromise with the Holy Lord and the reformists, as the reform process accelerated, the speed of centralization became faster and faster, and the loss of vested interests of the aristocratic class, especially the wealthy families, became increasingly severe, and the conflict between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

As far as Wei Fusi knows, there are radical conservative forces in the east to take risks and conspire to overthrow the Holy Lord and destroy the reform. Although this is just a baseless rumor, there is no wind and waves. Today, Li Fengyun made similar predictions incredible, which immediately made Wei Fusi frightened and uneasy. If the radical conservative forces want to mutiny, they take advantage of the Holy Lord, the Central and the main forces of the Guardian Army during the Eastern Expedition to conquer the battlegrounds of Liaodong, and when the Eastern Capital is empty, suddenly,

It is indeed the best time to take action. But in this way, if the Holy Lord laughs to the end, the conservative forces in the court will be severely damaged again. This is the second blow to the Guanlong noble group after the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han. Countless heads will roll on the ground, and what is shaken is the foundation of the national destiny. Today, the foundation of the national destiny is Guanlong, the Guanlong noble group. The Holy Lord slaughtered the Guanlong people again and again. How can the foundation of the national destiny be solid?

"In the eyes of many people in the Dongdu, the King of Qi left Beijing to suppress the rebellion during the Holy Lord's Eastern Expedition was definitely a mistake to extinguish his life." Li Fengyun continued, "A certain person went west to the Central Plains to plunder Tongji Canal, threatening Dongdu, and affecting the Eastern Expedition. Although he gave the King of Qi a reason to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion, the King of Qi could completely refuse to leave Beijing. Of course, the King of Qi was in a dilemma. If he refused to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion, he would be caught by the political enemy and hated by the Holy Lord. However, once he left Beijing to suppress the rebellion, he would also be caught by the political enemy and feared by the Holy Lord. However, in the end, you and the King of Qi chose to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion. There was no other reason, and you were lucky. Since the Dongdu was full of dangers, the future was bleak, and even life was in danger, it would be better to go out of Beijing to play a trick. With merit, strength, and freedom, and forced, you would have to repeat the mistakes of King Yang Liang of Han."

"Why are you so lucky? It is because there are radical forces in the East to conspire to overthrow the Holy Lord and destroy the reform. Someone once said that the reason why the Holy Lord has been slow to make King Qi the crown prince is because his ruling philosophy is contrary to the reform ideas of the Holy Lord. As long as the Holy Lord and the reformists hold Tianxian, the King Qi will never have a chance to stand out. Therefore, you find another way, take risks, go out to Beijing to develop, and send yourself on the path of no return against the Holy Lord. You can go on the path of no return to the east and use force to decide the victory and defeat with the Holy Lord."

Li Fengyun looked at Wei Fusi and stopped for a moment, but Wei Fusi did not speak, with a serious expression and listened attentively.

"However, in my opinion, the failure of King Yang Liang of Han is a bloody lesson 丨Using the killing of the royal family cannot fundamentally resolve the core contradiction in Middle-earth today. If you want to completely resolve this contradiction, you can only change the world. Therefore, I can tell you with certainty that the radical forces in Dongdu who conspired to overthrow the Holy Lord and destroyed the reform will be to usurp the country, rather than change the imperial regime. Therefore, King Qi is their must-kill target, and they will kill the King of Qi at any cost. After killing the first heir of the imperial regime, the political situation in Dongdu is in chaos, and the conspirators' road to usurpation of the country will be much smoother."

Wei Fusi understood. Li Fengyun said it very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear. If the King of Qi cooperated with him, he could use the opportunity of the radical forces in the Dongdu to usurp the country, to serve the king and save the country, establish merits, and win the trust of the Holy Lord. Although this still cannot help the King of Qi attack the position of crown prince, it can alleviate the conflict between father and son. In addition, because the King of Qi has achieved great merit, strength, and reputation, it is difficult for the Lord of the Holy Lord to publicly attack him, so he gave the King of Qi to continue to be in

The time for the expansion of strength outside the country, and as his strength grows, he may be able to follow the path of the Holy Lord in that year and win the battle against his strength. On the contrary, if the King of Qi cooperates with the radical forces of Dongdu and provokes civil war with them to fight against the Lord of the Holy Lord, then his righteousness and reputation will be gone. More importantly, the radical forces of Dongdu only use him to usurp the country rather than help him win the imperial rule. Therefore, the King of Qi's ultimate fate is very tragic, and he will die regardless of the victory or defeat.
