Chapter 416 Li Hun's Character

Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shiye were cautious in their opinion of Li Fengyun's active offensive attitude and his unyielding strategy of killing Dongdu. Although Li Fengyun is currently fighting on the front line of Yishui, it is Li Fengyun who really keeps his word on the battlefield, but it is related to everyone's interests. Before Yang Xuangan's troops were in the Dongdu and the mutiny formed a fact, he must control the rhythm of the attack. He must effectively restrain the Guardian army on the basis of preserving his own strength. Li Fengyun's passionate desire to attack must be curbed. It is a good thing to be excited, but if it goes too far, it becomes arrogant and rampant, which is a bad thing.

"Your confidence in killing the city of Dongdu must come from the latest information conveyed by the secret channels of Dongdu." After weighing the matters, Li Mi decided to "stop" Li Fengyun and prevent the tiger from losing control. "Someone also has a secret channel from Dongdu, and some also has a secret channel from Xijing. Do you know the situation of Xijing? Do you know that the Dai Wang Yang You has left behind with Xijing and Wei Wensheng, the Minister of Justice, reached a compromise? Do you know what they mean before the mutiny broke out?"

Li Fengyun had already guessed the situation in Xijing, and knew that Li Mi would have a way to find out the political situation in Xijing. Now, when he heard Li Mi take the initiative to talk about this, he still pretended to be surprised. The King of Dai Yang You and the guards of Xijing Wen Sheng reached a compromise and cooperated hand in hand, which means that the local aristocratic group in Guanlong had to temporarily shelve the conflict with the Saint Lord and the Reformers in the face of the crisis from the northwest and the Central Plains. As for whether the two sides cooperated or fake cooperation, they knew each other well, but for this matter itself, whether it was Yuan Hongsi in the northwest, Yang Tong, the King of Yue in the east capital, or Yang Xuangan, who was planning a mutiny in Liyang, they all felt heavy pressure, and no one could correctly assess what impact the cooperation between them would have on the future situation.

"No matter whether the cooperation between them is sincere or not," Li Mi continued, "only in terms of cooperation itself means that the King of Dai Yang You has the intention to send troops to Dongdu at a critical moment. If we attacked Dongdu too hard and Li Hun was defeated again and again, Dongdu asked for help from Xijing, Wei Wensheng decided to send troops. After the forced force of Dai Yang You, it is very likely that he would send an army eastward to Tongguan. This move is equivalent to the King of Dai Yang You expressing the position of Xijing. No matter how the situation in Dongdu changes, the capital of Xijing and Dongdu advance and retreat together with each other in the wind and rain. This will inevitably affect the attitude and position of many forces in Dongdu in the matter of mutiny, which is very unfavorable to the mutiny."

Li Mi's words were implicit, but in fact they denied Li Fengyun's attack strategy.

Li Fengyun did not hesitate and immediately refuted, "My inference on this matter is completely different from your analysis. Xijing is determined to promote the outbreak of this mutiny. What is the purpose? I believe that Xijing's purpose is very clear, to severely attack the Holy Lord and the reformists, firmly establish the position of the Crown Prince Yang You of Dai, and to lay a solid foundation for the people of Guanlong to firmly control the government. This mutiny is their means to achieve this goal. Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan) and you mutiny participants are all victims of their realization of this goal. From this we can see that no matter how bad the situation in Dongdu is, as long as Dongdu is still

In the hands of King Yang Tong of Yue, as long as Dongdu has not fallen into a ruin, as long as Dongdu has not yet become a ruin, as long as the mutiny has not endangered the foundation of the country, has not caused a heavy blow to the Holy Lord and the Reformers, and has not forced the Holy Lord to give up the second Eastern Expedition, they will not send troops. This is an obvious thing. On the contrary, if the situation is as you predicted, Dongdu cried a few times in panic, Xijing can't wait to send troops to support, and will advance and retreat with Dongdu in the wind and rain. What is Xijing's plan? How to explain the previous Xijing's deliberate push for the outbreak of this mutiny?"

"According to your analysis and deduction, as long as the Holy Lord has not given up on the Eastern Expedition and has not returned from Liaodong, Xijing will not send troops to support the Eastern Capital?" Li Mi questioned.

"Someone's analysis may not be correct, but there is one thing that is beyond doubt." Li Fengyun replied, "Before the Holy Lord did not give up the Eastern Expedition, and before the suppression army sent by the Holy Lord arrived in the Dongdu, even if Xijing sent troops, he would not attack. At most, it would be bluffing and covering up the population. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of Xijing? Relying on the Holy Lord's gift? The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gained profits, the Heluo people were killed and injured, and the Guanlong people were covered with scars. In this case, if the Holy Lord did not, the Holy Lord would not be able to fight, the Holy Lord would be scarred.

If he does not tear his face, does not betray his faith, does not take the opportunity to take action, and does not wipe out the conservative forces, he is not a saint, but a saint. Therefore, even if Xijing considers himself from the standpoint of self-protection, he must try every means to preserve his strength and leave all his hard work to the quelling army sent by the saint, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, stand on the side to pick up the cheap. Only in this way can the Guanlong people have enough strength to resist the crazy counterattack of the saint and the reformists in the post-storm liquidation."

Li Mi was speechless for a moment and could not find any rebuttal. Li Min had no intention of helping Li Mi to help him rescue him, but when he saw Li Fengyun's attitude was firm, he wisely closed his mouth and fell silent after thinking about it.

Han Shiyan had to speak, "Although Duke (Li Hun) is a bad person, he is brave and good at fighting and has outstanding strategy. He inherited the talent of the Li family in Longxi in military affairs. In addition, Zhu Yingyang under his command is all elites in the Guard Mansion. Even if you have his troops deployed, even if you catch him off guard with a night attack, you may not be able to defeat him, let alone defeat him back to Dongdu."

Li Hun was talented, talented, and had great achievements. However, his bad character was also an open secret in Dongdu. His most despicable behavior was to shamelessly steal the hereditary title of the family from the orphan and widowed mother in the long house, which showed that he was greedy and shameless, selfish, and indifferent.

"It is precisely because of Li Hun's bad character that I believe that under the current situation, Li Hun not only does not have the determination to fight with us, nor does he have the intention to charge for King Yang Tong of Yue." Li Fengyun smiled, "Don't forget that like Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong), he has long been regarded as the king of Qi. Even if King Qi loses power, the mark on him cannot be erased. Therefore, I inferred that when he knows that King Qi wants to use the Dongdu mutiny to make profits, he must create conditions for King Qi to make profits. Only when King Qi fails, he can protect himself. If King Qi falls, his future will be unpredictable."

"Since that's the case, how can Li Hun create the best profit conditions for the King of Qi on the battlefield of Dongdu?" Li Hun looked at everyone, showed a sly smile on his face, and stopped talking.

Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shiye looked at each other, and they could accept Li Fengyun's statement, but Li Hun was selfish in nature. When the King of Qi was defeated, it seemed difficult to rely on him to lose his immediate interests and gamble on the King of Qi's future interests.

"The Duke of the State (Li Hun) should be in a deep situation, hesitation and restlessness, and unable to sleep day and night." Li Min thought of himself and his father Li Zixiong, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is inevitable." Li Fengyun said, "A step is wrong, since he chose King Qi, he had only one way to go. Even if he changed his course and intended to change his ranks, who dared to accept it with his character? Last year, King Qi left Beijing and showed that he had to fight to the death. However, during this year's Holy Lord still placed him in an important position to guard the Eastern Capital. The profound meaning behind this is worth thinking about."

"Li Hun's wife's uncle is Yu Wen Shu, the general of the Zuo Yiwei. He was able to successfully compete for the throne because of his help from Yu Wen Shu. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is good. However, at that time, the Holy Lord was still the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne. He really needed the support of a wealthy family like Chengji, a long-xi Chengji family, which had huge strength in the military. The situation is different now. Li Hun was deeply involved in the battle for imperial throne and could not extricate himself. In addition, he was also one of the real military power factions that hindered the Holy Lord's reform of the military system and concentrated military power. He has become a thorn in the holy Lord's side. In this case, Li Hun not only did not get the help of Yu Wen Shu, but he would fall into the trap set by Yu Wen Shu if he was not careful. Therefore, Li Hun's current situation is very bad. It is precisely because of his bad situation that Yang You, the King of Dai and Guanlong, kept a cautious distance from him to avoid being dragged down by him. Li Hun was obviously very disappointed with this. He could only place his hope on the King of Qi, which gave us a chance."

"Before, Li Hun leaned against Luoshui and set up a defensive battle formation between Xianren Palace and Yishui, allowing Yique to fall and endanger the Dongdu, which shows his attitude. If we consider the close relationship between him and the King of Qi, we can also interpret it as a kind of temptation to see if our attack on the Dongdu has some connection with the King of Qi taking the opportunity to make a profit."

Li Fengyun's words reminded everyone, Li Mi, Li Min and Han Shiye nodded frequently.

"Since Li Hun made a hint, will we respond?" When Li Mi spoke, her eyes were not looking at Li Fengyun, but at Li Min, obviously hoping that Li Min would come and meet Li Hun secretly, and find out Li Hun's true thoughts.

Currently, only Li Fengyun and Li Min are close to the King of Qi in this army. Both of them participated in the mutiny and were planning to help the King of Qi make profits. Li Mi is still clear about this. However, both sides still have common interests and need cooperation. Before it is time to break up, so if you can use it, you can use it and if you can extract the value, you can squeeze it as much as possible.

Li Min looked at Li Fengyun with her eyes showing a look of inquisitiveness.

Li Fengyun nodded, "Now we are sure to defeat him, which will help you convince him to make the right choice at critical moments and make choices that are in his interests."

In the evening of that day, Li Min secretly met Li Hun through his "channel".

Li Hun was a little surprised. He had always maintained close contact with King Qi, Wei Fusiren and others. Of course, he knew where Li Min was going after the Bianshui War. He thought Li Min was in Henan and thought he was hiding under Li Fengyun's tent. He never expected that Li Min would appear magically on the Yique battlefield.

Li Hun immediately thought of a possibility. Without waiting for greetings, he asked, "Is it Li Fengyun the one who captured Yique?"

Li Min smiled and nodded.

Li Hun suddenly realized that this trick was used well to hide the truth. No wonder the power of the Prime Minister Han was so strong. It turned out that Li Fengyun was hiding behind him, and the one he wanted to deal with was the elite of the alliance, so this battle was not easy to fight.

"Why is Li Fengyun eager to reach the Eastern Capital?" Li Hun asked, "He does not have the strength to capture the Eastern Capital. If he enters the Eastern Capital city too early, his entire army will be wiped out."

"I'm not here to save Li Fengyun." Li Min smiled, "but to save the man."

Li Hun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I hope to hear it carefully."
