September 26, Anzhou, Fangcheng.

The main army of the alliance went to Fangcheng at night and rushed to Fangcheng as quickly as possible. They thought there would be a tough battle, but unexpectedly, before they arrived in Fangcheng, they heard good news. The alliance's horse army successfully attacked around midnight and captured the Xicheng Gate. Then the defenders in the city collapsed and turned against each other. The Xi Palace was destroyed overnight and Fangcheng conquered.

The good news spread, the alliance soldiers were cheering, the morale was rising, and the marching speed was faster.

Li Fengyun was also quite surprised when he was happy. In his plan, the King of the King of the Wushu first opened the city gate and sneaked into the city. Then when the main army arrived, the two sides cooperated inside and outside, first took down a city gate, broke through the defense of the square city, and then rushed into the city, annihilated the defenders who were fighting stubbornly, and captured the King of the Xi Palace. This siege plan was actually very risky. Once the news of King of the Wushuhu was leaked, the King of the Xi Palace was prepared in advance, and the King of the Xi Palace would fall into the trap and seek death.

As a result, the King of the King of the Xihe tribe not only successfully opened the city gate and sneaked into the city, but also took the Xicheng Gate in one go. At this point, the risk quickly lost control because the main force of the alliance had not arrived yet, and only the six thousand horses were defending the Xicheng Gate. Once the Xi Palace launched a crazy counterattack and surrounded and killed the people from all sides, even if the six thousand horses were held until the main force arrived, the losses would be extremely heavy. If the entire army was destroyed, it would be a heavy blow to the alliance.

However, God favored him and the alliance was very lucky. The whole family of King Xi's mansion believed that China and the earth had launched a large-scale attack, and the force of attacking from north to south had been achieved. King Xi's Ah Huizheng and the main army of the five Xi tribes were still far away between the mountains and ridges on the eastern foot of Mayu Mountain. It was out of reach. The defeat was decided and the defeat was imminent. Therefore, the morale of the army collapsed, and he was disorganized, and he defeated himself.

The battle result was brilliant, and the situation in Anzhou was instantly subverted. The alliance not only gained the initiative in the battlefield of Anzhou, but also used this advantage to control the development of the situation inside and outside the Great Wall in the future, laying a solid foundation for further expanding the results and expanding the strength of the alliance.

Soon, Li Fengyun received a second good news. According to the report of the surrender of the Xi Wang Mansion, the guards of Baitan City, the southwest major town, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, Baitan City was suddenly surrounded by the Central Turkish army. Considering that it was outnumbered, Chu and Suzhi took the initiative to abandon the city and leave, and Baitan City fell that afternoon.

This is good news. From the time perspective, this should be the result of the southern selection army led by Li Zixiong. The capture of Baitan City was not in the plan, but the alliance was very lucky. The Xi guards of Baitan City were caught off guard and panicked and made serious misjudgment of the situation. As a result, the decision was wrong and the alliance was spared. Baitan City was lost and Panlong Fort lost support was already the thing in the alliance. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zixiong is now negotiating with the officials in the Great Wall and the wealthy families in Youyan, North Hebei.

The second good news spread quickly among the alliance soldiers. When ordinary soldiers heard the news, they took it for granted, just like the Xi people, thinking that the Central Earth army in the Great Wall had been dispatched, and they immediately felt like they were going home, and the glory of regaining the lost land, and they all cheered and excited. When the generals of the alliance who knew the inside story were also happy and happy when they heard the news. After success, the conquest of Gui Fang and Bai Tan meant that the force of attacks between the north and the south had been achieved. Now Fangcheng is also defeated, and most of the Anzhou has been taken into the bag. Although King Xi Ahui and the five armies of the Xi tribe can still stop and resist stubbornly on the eastern foot of Mayu Mountain, the overall situation has been settled and the general situation has been destined, and there is no possibility of a reversal in the short term.

Miracle, Li Fengyun created another miracle, an incredible miracle. At the beginning of this month, the soldiers just left the frontier. Although they were determined to calm down, they were uneasy. Faced with the strong enemies outside the frontier, there was no food and grass in the alliance and no reinforcements outside, they wanted to fight a bloody road to recover Anzhou. This was no longer crazy, but it was just seeking death. However, the white-haired handsome man turned his hands into clouds, turned his hands into rain, turned decay into magic, turning the impossible into possibility, and the miracle appeared again.

In the morning, the main force of the alliance arrived in Fangcheng, and Huyanjian, Mengba and other horse generals galloped over.

Everyone was in high spirits. After greetings and congratulations, Hu Yanjian immediately briefly explained the current situation in the city and raised the matter that urgently needed to be solved.

The Xi Palace was destroyed, and the alliance wanted to take over the military, political and financial power of Anzhou and quickly stabilize the situation. It was urgent.

Li Fengyun was confident and arranged one by one, orderly. The General Administration of the Alliance took over the military, government and finance power of Anzhou. Among them, Sima Yuan'an was in charge of military affairs, and the military affairs Xiao Yi was in charge of government affairs. He also invited the giant businessman Li and the wealthy businessman from outside the border to be in charge of finance. He also asked the king of humiliated He and Meng'an and Mohetunhe to preside over Fangcheng garrison, reorganized and surrendered and captured troops, so as to soothe people's hearts, and strive to stabilize the situation in Fangcheng and its surrounding areas in the shortest time.

Among these appointments, the most surprising thing was to invite Antel and Jian Bo to take charge of Anzhou's finances. In the eyes of most people, this was Li Fengyun fulfilling his original promise.

In Huaihuang, Li Fengyun used the wealth of Anzhou as a temptation to convince the Han tyrant merchants headed by Antel and Jianbo. The two sides joined forces to attack Anzhou. Now Anzhou has been in his pocket. Li Fengyun wants to fulfill his promise to compensate the Han tyrant merchants headed by Antel and Jianbo, but the compensation is one-time. Antel and Jianbo are in charge of Anzhou's finances, and all the merchants who participated in the cooperation have joined the construction of Anzhou. The two sides continue to cooperate and develop together, and the wealth they get is endless. It is obvious which is better and worse. Many people think that Li Fengyun is too generous and has too much benefits to the partners. Moreover, merchants are pursuing profits, and businessmen are in charge of finances, which is harmful to Anzhou without any benefits.

However, what was even more surprising was that Antel and Jian Bo firmly refused Li Fengyun's invitation. Everyone was puzzled. Although these two were rich, they still had a considerable gap compared to the wealth of the Xi clan. After all, the Xi clan is actually an independent small kingdom. The two took advantage of this precious opportunity to use their power to seek personal gain, make a fortune, and do their best. How could they refuse?

Looking at the two frustrated faces of Antel and Jian Bo who dared not speak out, everyone thought about it carefully and then suddenly realized. Li Fengyun's pit was too big, and he didn't vomit bones when he ate people, nor did he blame Antel and Jian Bo for being so angry that he gritted his teeth.

What is the future of Anzhou? As the barrier of Youzhou in Central China, Anzhou is a place of four battles, and it cannot change the dilemma of being attacked from all sides. The following situation is obvious. The Turks cannot allow Middle Earth to capture Anzhou, chaotic Northeast, and beat its powerful troops to the point of being unable to raise their heads. Xi, Wu, Khitan and other Donghu species are all vassals of the Turks, and they are all their wings. To strike it, it is to curb and weaken its own strength. How can it ignore it and ignore it? The Turks rumbled in, and the Xi clan was of course rushing in front, and the Khitans did not dare to offend the Turks, and they could only charge for the Turks unwillingly. The result can be imagined that Anzhou was full of smoke and ruins.

Anzhou is about to become a ruin, where is there any future? What kind of wealth is there? What kind of continuous wealth? The reason why Antel and Jian Bo chose to cooperate was purely helpless. They had no choice but to lose money. It would be better to gamble and follow Li Fengyun to enter Anzhou. After winning the bet, they divided the spoils, and they only made money and left. The greater the risk, the greater the profit. Unexpectedly, Li Fengyun was more cunning than them. When he was dividing the spoils, he came to dig a hole. Not only did he not give the spoils, but he also had to eat all the merchants, the wealth they invested for this risk, and all their wealth, as well as their lives, and they ate them, and they had no left any belts and bones. To put it bluntly, they were forcibly "kidnapping" them on the alliance's chariot, sharing joys and sorrows, living and dying.

Of course, Antel and Jian Bo don’t do it, and think they are crazy? But if you two don’t work hard and don’t accept favors, that is a turn of confrontation. Since you turn against each other, you will no longer cooperate. Since you no longer cooperate, what promise will I fulfill? You two can leave, and other merchants don’t want to do it can leave, and I will not be far away to send it.

Merchants seek wealth, but they will not turn against each other until they have to. If they turn against each other, they will lose both their wealth. Of course, it is better to sit down and discuss calmly. Therefore, Antel and Jian Bo decided to accept it first. The situation is tense. The main army of the five Xi tribes is still there, and the final victory and defeat has not been decided. The battle has not been completed. Li Fengyun's energy is still on the battlefield. Many key things will have to be settled until they defeat the main army of Xi tribe. They don't have to worry about dividing the spoils for the time being, so it is better to do it to the end. Don't just rush to demolish the bridge before the river is over, deliberately intensifying the conflicts, which is not good.

Li Fengyun drove the ducks to the shelves, Antel and Jian Bo took office reluctantly, and the matter of taking over Anzhou was decided.

At this time, the temporary commander camp had been built, and all the general managers who were ordered to join the military convention had arrived. Although everyone was in high spirits and high morale, they were more or less nervous because there was only one content of the military convention, which was to fight the main army of the Xi tribe, and decide the outcome in one battle. Once they win, Anzhou will be recovered and they can use Anzhou in exchange for their own bright future. Otherwise, the future will be bumpy and difficult to determine.

Mengba detailed the story of the sneak attack on the city. As for why he violated the agreement, he seized the Xichengmen without waiting for the main army to arrive. His explanation was that he was worried that there would be many dreams in the night. Once the secret was leaked, he would definitely fail and the consequences would be unimaginable. So he decided to change his plan and won the unanimous support of the four generals, Gao Hu, Chi Xiaodou Iron Yi, Woye and Meng'an.

Li Fengyun agreed with this. The situation of the war is changing rapidly. The front-line generals must dare to make decisions at the right time. Of course, the risks exist, but there are risks in the battle. Even in a foolproof situation, no one dares to say that they are sure to win. There are too many examples of losing. If the front-line generals dare not take risks, they are afraid of taking responsibility for failure, and they will be more likely to fail.

Meng Ba was a little nervous, worried that Li Fengyun was dissatisfied. Now that he saw Li Fengyun publicly supporting him, Gaoxuan's heart was relieved.

Finally, Mengba talked about one thing. Before the fall of King Xi's mansion, President Sheng and Feng Hong saw that the situation was hopeless, so he led Qie's troops to break through and leave. The situation was chaotic and it was dark again, so it was difficult to block it. In addition, the person who turned against him felt guilty and opened his face, which made them successfully escape.

From time to time estimate, Ah Hui and the main army of Xi clan should arrive at Sanhui City, the important southeastern city today or tomorrow. Fangcheng is about 300 miles away from Sanhui City, including two rivers: Wuliu River and Wudu River. The father and son of Ah Hui family should meet at Wuliu River or Wudu River. What choice will Ah Hui make after the rendezvous? Should we retreat to Sanhui City, resist stubbornly according to the eastern foot of Mayu Mountain, or fight bravely forward and fight to the death?

"Under the current situation, Ah Hui has only one choice. He will fight to the death. If he retreats to Sanhui City, he will be finished." Meng Ba said confidently.

Mengba analyzed that the five tribes of the Xi tribes had no confidence in winning against the absolute strong man Zhongtu, and this was the important reason for the instant loss of the Xi prince's mansion. Since it was a situation of defeat and struggle would lead to death, of course, surrender, surrender can survive and be able to back the big tree to enjoy the cool air. Perhaps you can find a good future for yourself. Surrender is not as good as turning against the front line. There are still merits in the front line, and you can use this merit to exchange for more benefits. Why not do it? Therefore, if Ah Huizheng did not fight immediately, and did not take advantage of the news of the fall of the Xi prince's mansion that had not spread, and did not use the army of the Xi tribes to fight to the decisive battle when the Xi tribes were still under its control, then it is obvious that when the news of the fall of the Xi prince's mansion spreads, the tribes of the Xi tribes would surrender or turn against the for themselves. The Ah Huizheng would be completely finished, and there was no chance to turn defeat into victory or reverse defeat.

Li Fengyun agreed with Meng Ba's analysis, "Since that's the case, we will work together in a two-pronged battle and completely defeat Ah Huizheng."

The so-called two-pronged approach is nothing more than confrontation on the battlefield and delaying the decisive battle time. Outside the battlefield, we use all means to provoke discord and shake the morale of the army. We just wait for the time to come, and we will go down one round and fight.

After decisive battle plan was decided, Li Fengyun ordered that after noon, except for the army in Zhen Fangcheng, the rest of the troops quickly advanced eastward, with the horse army as the selection front, and did their best to rush to the Wulishui River before the main army of the Xi tribe. With this natural obstacle, they confronted the main army of the Xi tribe across the river.

He also sent his trusted subordinates to lead a team of horse troops to travel south day and night to pass letters from Li Zixiong, one by one, informing the current situation of the battle and gaining more advantages for Li Zixiong's negotiations; secondly, he asked Li Zixiong to immediately send all the main forces to sweep Zhucheng in the southwest of Anzhou, striving to stabilize the situation in southwest of Anzhou in the shortest time; secondly, he told Li Zixiong that although Anzhou is about to recover, the situation is even more dangerous, and the Turks and Donghu people must join forces to fight back. If the alliance wants to consolidate the results and gain a foothold in Anzhou, it must win support in the Great Wall. Without a steady stream of food and grass weapons, the alliance will not be able to defeat the enemy, and it will be difficult to stabilize Anzhou.

He also invited the surrender officials who belonged to the Mukun tribe, and asked them to send representatives to rush to the important town of Mukun tribe, Yaoyangcheng, and Suzhi. Even if he was unwilling to surrender for the time being, he would be allowed to wait until the situation was clear before making decisions. However, he must retreat to the Bashang Plateau and not continue to attack the Alliance army, especially the food and supplies of the Alliance army, otherwise he would have a mortal hatred and the two sides would never stop.

September 26, Shanggu County.

The Holy Lord arrived in Shanggu County and was furious when he heard a series of reports from local officials.
