Chapter 715: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

On the first day of September, the King of Qi led his army across the Sanggan River. Considering that the situation in Yanbei is changing rapidly, new changes may occur whether it is the front line of the Great Wall or the direction of Guangning. The King of Qi ordered Zhu Yingyang to accelerate his advancement and travel day and night to Guangning City in order to quickly transform the advantages that are beneficial to his side in the current situation into real results and establish an initiative for himself to control Yanbei.

However, when King Qi arrived at Lujiao Post, he was surprised to find that the deputy of Zhuo County was left behind, and the general of Wu Benlang, Yin Shishishi had been waiting for a long time.

The Yinshi Master took the initiative to greet him, which was etiquette, but at this moment, Guangning City had fallen, and the rebels were rampant in the hinterland of Yanbei. The Yinshi Master was hit by a head-on attack when he arrived. The situation was very difficult. Besides, the King of Qi was secretly scheduled, and the Yinshi Master could not guess the exact time when the King of Qi arrived in Guangning, so it was normal not to welcome him. It was not normal to welcome him in advance. There must be a mystery here.

King Qi thought for a moment, turned around and asked Wei Fusi who was standing beside him, "Where did Mr. Zhao get the news?"

Wei Fusi was expressionless and pondered silently. How did Yinshi Master know the exact time when King Qi arrived in Guangning City? There were only two sources of information. One was that some local forces in Yanbei had secretly deployed spies on Feihu's side. The other was that someone leaked the secrets within the alliance, and only a few people knew about King Qi's itinerary. Among them, the most likely leaker was Li Zixiong.

Li Fengyun was determined to go out of the frontier, and his troops were very fast, and the wind and lightning were like lightning. Now he has probably already reached the foot of the Great Wall. Moreover, he has kept a distance from the Yanbei official. Li Zixiong has always been responsible for the negotiations with Zhuo County Left-Back Mansion. It was Li Zixiong who had broken up with the Left-Back Mansion to capture Guangning City a few days ago. However, the Left-Back Mansion needs to implement the Saint Lord and the Central Knife-Back Mansion to kill people, and Duan Da needs to do his best to promote cooperation between the two sides, so even if the Yin Shishi Master was beaten blue by Li Zixiong.

The face was swollen and bloody, and he had to knock off his teeth and swallow his blood, and compromise and compromise. Similarly, Li Zixiong also needed official cooperation. After all, the alliance army left behind Feihu was large and weak in strength. The King of Qi had just stepped north and had not yet settled his own foothold. Where could he have time to take care of others? Therefore, Li Zixiong robbed Guangning's culmination and attacked the prestige of Yinshi and the left-behind mansion. After taking all the advantages, he became "behaved" again, giving Yinshima a chance to reverse the predicament.

The key to whether Yinshi Master can seize this opportunity is not Li Zixiong's compromise, nor is the support of Yanbei people led by Han Maha, but whether the King of Qi is willing to give him this opportunity.

Wei Fusi immediately guessed that Yinshi Master "openly" welcomed the King of Qi a hundred miles away from Guangning City. He came to grab the credit. He grabbed the credit from the King of Qi, and it was a credit that the King of Qi could obtain. This is not a question of whether he was brave or not, but that he must have relied on it and must have grasped the "critical points" of the King of Qi, otherwise he would definitely not dare to "conspire with the tiger."

What does Yinshi Master rely on? What key points can he grasp the Qi King?

What is the most deadly threat when King Qi arrived at the northern border of Yan? It is not that the northern enemy outside the Great Wall is eyeing him, nor that the army and local forces in the Great Wall join forces to fight him, but that the food and grass weapons. Once there is no continuous supply of food and grass weapons, the King Qi and his soldiers under him have cut off their "food" and are hungry, and the result is self-evident.

So in Yanbei, who would provide King Qi with food and grass weapons continuously? It is the Zhuo County left-behind mansion, Duan Da and Yin Shishishi left-behind.

Of course, as long as the King of Qi is obedient and guards the Great Wall honestly, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will definitely order the Zhuo County Left-guard Mansion to provide the King of Qi with enough food and grass weapons. However, as the order-executed Mansion, the Zhuo County Left-guard Mansion, can be completely disobeyed, and even use the complex situation inside and outside the Great Wall to directly block the King of Qi's neck, causing the King of Qi to fall into a dilemma of life and death. The King of Qi's counterattack was very limited. If the King of Qi was angry and turned against the Zhuo County Left-guard Mansion and fought hard, it would be a rebellion. It was confirmed that the crime of treason was charged, which was equivalent to seeking death.

In the previous negotiations with Yinshishi, Li Zixiong has always regarded the continuous supply of food and grass weapons as the core content. The essence is to ensure that the King of Qi can "eat and drink enough" and can gain a foothold in Yanbei as quickly as possible. In this way, even if the remaining palace in Zhuo County deliberately restrains the King of Qi and deliberately curbs and weakens the King of Qi under the instructions of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, the King of Qi will not be hungry in the short term, and can still threaten the Northern Territory and support the Alliance's outbound operations. In this way, even if the Alliance's outbound operations fail, it can still be safely withdrawn. This is crucial.

Of course, if Li Fengyun's plan was successful, the alliance captured Anzhou before the snow came in winter, and the situation in Youyan and the entire northern border and the relationship between the north and south changed rapidly. The importance of the King of Qi in the northern border garrison was highlighted, and his situation would inevitably be improved. In the future, the supply of food and grass weapons would be guaranteed to a certain extent, and food and grass weapons would not become a deadly "noose" tied around the neck of the King of Qi. In this way, the development pace of the King of Qi would inevitably be greatly accelerated.

Wei Fusi figured it out and couldn't help but get angry. Hu Luo Pingyang was bullied by a dog. The prince of the Holy Lord, a man with great power in name, has now fallen to such an unbearable level. It is simply outrageous that even a local official dares to stuck his neck to threaten him.

Now Wei Fusi finally understood why Li Zixiong suddenly turned against the Yinshi Division and captured Guangning City. Although Li Zixiong had multiple arrows and had multiple purposes, from the fact that he "forced" Yinshi Division to come to welcome the King of Qi and had to bow his head to compromise with the King of Qi, the biggest purpose of Li Zixiong's capture of Guangning was to ensure that Duan Da and Yinshi Division fulfilled their promises and continuously provided food and grass weapons to the King of Qi during the period of time when the Alliance army went out of the frontier to fight. In this way, even if the outbound combat failed, the King of Qi had this period as a buffer and continuous food and grass weapons as support, and he would definitely be able to stand in Yanbei in the shortest time. When the King of Qi stood firm in Yanbei, it was equivalent to opening a "protective umbrella" on the head of the Alliance, and this "protective umbrella" was too important for the alliance's foothold in Yanbei.

Wei Fusi glanced at the gloomy King of Qi and said quietly, "It should be Li Zixiong."

The King of Qi had guessed something, but when he heard Wei Fusi say the answer in a positive tone, he frowned immediately, and then after a brief thought, he roughly concluded Li Zixiong's purpose.

The King of Qi was very angry, not because the Yinshi Master threatened him with food and grass weapons, but because Li Zixiong took over his duties and made ideas on his decisions. To put it nicely, it was called solving problems for the King of Qi, and to put it ugly, it was about leading the King of Qi's nose, controlling the King of Qi, and turning the King of Qi into a puppet that can be controlled at will.

This anger comes from the discussions of the royal city yesterday. Yesterday, the King of Qi intended to test Li Min to see if he could control the left-behind legion of the alliance, but this idea was strangled as soon as it was born. Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong had already planned and had already made preparations. The King of Qi had no idea how the Yinshi Master actually wanted to steal credit from the King of Qi. The controller behind it was Li Zixiong. There were shadows of Li Zixiong everywhere, and he was constrained by Li Zixiong. How could the King of Qi not be angry?

When you come to Yanbei alone, should you dominate or become a puppet? The Yinshi Master is competing with the tiger, and you, Li Zixiong, are simply peeling off the tiger alive, so bold and lawless.

The anger of the King of Qi made Wei Fusi feel deeply uneasy. After all, the King of Qi is a prince, and he has his dignity and pride, which is not ordinary willfulness. The two Li Zai couldn't "take care of" the King of Qi's emotions at the critical moment of life and death. They considered the interests, first of all, their own interests, and then they took into account the interests of the King of Qi. This matter was very beneficial to the King of Qi from the overall situation, because no one could guarantee that the Lord of the Holy Lord and the Central Government would order the Lord of the Zhuo County to give the King of Qi full support, and he could not guarantee that the Lord of the Zhuo County would execute the orders of the Lord of the Saint and the Central Government in such a complex situation. Therefore, in order to prevent problems, it is natural to grasp the "critical points" of Duan Da and Yin Shishishi to force them to fulfill their promises.

"The Lone must recover Guangning City." King Qi's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm, and he exuded a murderous aura.

Defeating the rebels and regaining Guangning City, the important thing for the King of Qi is not to make meritorious contributions, but to attack the prestige of the Zhuo County left-behind mansion and seize control of Yanbei. Its importance even exceeds that of food and grass weapons. The King of Qi obtained the control of Yanbei and controlled the security of Yanbei's towns and garrisons, and threatened the Zhuo County left-behind mansion with Yanbei's security, which was better. Duan Da and Yin Shishi were equally stuck in the neck by the King of Qi and had to be careful to serve, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Similarly, after the King of Qi controlled Yanbei, he also controlled the life and death of the alliance left-behind legion, so that Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong could be controlled, and then fully controlled the future trend of the situation in Youyan and even the northern border.

The idea of ​​the King of Qi was good, but unfortunately the situation in Yanbei was too complicated. All forces were seeking their own benefits, with their own thoughts, and showed their magical powers. Even Li Zixiong, who had the advantage, had to compromise with Yinshi Master in the end and had to strive for the greatest cooperation, and hope for cooperation to succeed. This is reality.

Wei Fusi thought for a while and tactfully advised, "Since Mr. Zhao has arrived, the king might as well meet this 'landlord' in Yanbei first and listen to his thoughts."

The King of Qi was unable to control his emotions anymore, and he sternly said to Wei Fusi, "I want to recover Guangning City."

"King, haste will lead to failure." Wei Fusi advised again, "Too much is as bad as too much. The king must not act too hastily, so as not to lose the big picture because of small things."

The King of Qi was angry, "I must recover Guangning City."

Wei Fusi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Holy Lord ordered the king to patrol the border, rather than to guard the border. If the king insists on his own, he insists on taking this opportunity to attack the left-behind mansion and control Yanbei, he will inevitably anger the Holy Lord. Once the Holy Lord ordered the king to return to Beijing, how should the king deal with it?"

The King of Qi was furious, blushed, but he was speechless.
