The atmosphere was silent, the atmosphere was very depressing, the air in the lobby seemed to be stagnant at this moment, and the heat emitted by the burning of charcoal fire seemed to increase sharply. Everyone was hot, and their calm mood gradually became chaotic, slowly falling into a huge vortex of gains and losses, and they were unable to extricate themselves, and began to rush rapidly on the lost road.

Yuan An and Ashina Yelan clearly felt the sudden change in the atmosphere, as if the whistling wind and snow were coming, making people feel cold. The two looked at each other and thought of Li Fengyun's worries before leaving. It is easy to share wealth and prosperity, but difficult to share hardships. In the face of the benefits that are within reach, how many people can keep their original intentions unshakable? Can they still sacrifice personal interests for the overall situation?

The facts are very clear. Anzhou and Northeast were fought together through hardships and together. The victory was shared by everyone. Why do you have to sacrifice the interests of Anzhou and Northeast for the sake of the life and death of the Feihu Legion?

After the Feihu Legion retreated into Anzhou, they not only had to share the current victory, but also divided the existing benefits, but received the reward without success. They were happy and were overjoyed, but this was extremely unfair to the soldiers who went out to fight. However, the unfair things were not only that. In order to fulfill their promise, the soldiers who went out to fight had to embark on a new journey and had to travel thousands of miles to Liaodong to attack Goguryeo. Not only did they not enjoy the fruits of their blood and sweat, but they also had to pay a greater and immeasurable and even the price of their lives for a group of brothers and allies who enjoyed their success. What is this? Is there such a reason in the world?

Of course, no matter how angry he is, he still has to maintain his rationality. Complaints are useless at this moment. You need to think carefully and carefully weigh Li Fengyun's plans. Even if you firmly oppose it, you need to have sufficient reasons. Today, Li Fengyun is highly prestige and famous. He has proved his outstanding talents with a series of victories. Everyone admires and is very awe-inspiring, and gradually develops a kind of respect and trust for the strong. Among them, Li Zixiong sighs that he is not as good as him. Compared with the new generation like Li Fengyun, the old coach who was invincible in the past has to sigh that he is "Lian Po is old."

Since Li Fengyun made his countermeasures public through Yuan An, it was definitely not an impulse, but a result of careful consideration. In other words, when everyone considers this countermeasures in all aspects, they should not consider whether there is a third Eastern Expedition. Instead, if there is a third Eastern Expedition, after Anzhou and Northeast return to Central China, they join the third Eastern Expedition to attack Goguryeo, then what benefits can be obtained and what benefits can be obtained. If the alliance can obtain generous benefits and gains and losses, it is natural that we must work in this direction. If there is no conditions, create conditions. Without the third Eastern Expedition, we will try our best to attack Goguryeo for the third time. Taking advantage of the precious opportunity that Goguryeo was dying after two years of war, we will take advantage of the fire to rob, take advantage of the insult, and give it a fatal blow.

Li Zixiong keenly noticed Li Fengyun's intention and took the lead in reacting, "Can Yuan Sima explain it?"

Li Zixiong knew that the current dilemma of the Holy Lord and the Central Government was not that the Holy Lord and the Central Government did not want to return to Dongdu to stabilize the overall situation, but that after returning, the contradictions became more acute, the conflicts became more intense, the situation deteriorated faster, and the crisis became more serious. The two evils were the least. Instead of running back to Dongdu in a nasty way and fighting with their opponents, it was a big frustration, and the sky was angry and people were resentful, it was better to stay in the northern border and actively look for a good opportunity to reverse.

In fact, the decision of the Holy Lord and the Central Master was very correct. It was precisely because they were stranded in northern Xinjiang that Li Fengyun's plan to go out to the frontier to achieve strong support in the Great Wall at the critical moment, and at the end, he created a miracle and won an unprecedented victory. An incredible victory that even Li Fengyun did not expect. This was the opportunity that the Holy Lord and the Central Master were looking for. However, the Holy Lord and the Central Master took the initiative to make active temptations to Anzhou by establishing the Andong Duwei Mansion as a means, but the disaster of the Han King Yang Liang was still vivid in my mind. Faced with the "death struggle" of the King of Qi and the "death struggle" of supporters such as Wei Fusi, Li Hun, and Dong Chun, the Holy Lord and the Central Master had to prepare for the rain, not dared to raise a tiger to cause trouble, and caused his own disaster.

In order to alleviate the current domestic and international crisis, the Holy Lord and the Central Government were eager to take over the martial arts of Anzhou and Northeast China. However, the four forces of Qi King, Li Hun, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun were their "enemy". But these four hostile forces came together with the King of Qi as the core and formed an alliance. From this, it can be imagined that Anzhou and Northeast China must have spoken out in the return negotiations, offering a sky-high price, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to seize food from the tiger's mouth, blackmailing the best interests from the Holy Lord and the Central Government, so as to quickly develop and strengthen themselves. This result is a problem for the Holy Lord and the Central Government, and will definitely not agree. If you take a step back, even if you reluctantly agree, you will plant the seeds of "turning your back". Just wait for the right time, the Holy Lord and the Central Government will inevitably cut off the support of food and grass, pinch the necks of Anzhou and Northeast China, and put Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun, the two major rebellious forces, to death.

This is a foreseeable death situation, how to break it? Participate in the third Eastern Expedition, and urgently understand the urgency of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, giving the Holy Lord and the Central Committee a chance to win the greatest victory at the minimum price.

Yuan An nodded slightly and immediately analyzed in detail the embarrassment of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee under the severe situation at home and abroad. Not only did he urgently need a breakthrough to resolve the situation, but he needed to open up the credit for Andong and Northeast to turn the tide and curb the political decline, but he also needed to continue the Eastern Expedition, using the final victory of the Eastern Expedition to save the bad impact caused by the failure of the previous two Eastern Expeditions, and to start and end well, in order to quickly heal the political trauma, restore and revitalize the central authority.

Finally, Yuan An came up with a reason that the Eastern Expedition must continue, which is a political need. Of course, as far as the current domestic and international situation is concerned, Sino-Turkish do not have all the conditions to launch the third Eastern Expedition. However, if Anzhou and Northeast return to Sino-Turkish, and the alliance army joins the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, the Third Eastern Expedition will have the conditions for implementation.

In other words, if the alliance actively or passively participates in the third Eastern Expedition during the return negotiation to meet the needs of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, the Saint Lord and the Central Committee will inevitably make corresponding compromises in order to achieve their goals, so that the alliance can maximize its interests in the return negotiation.

"The Grand Chief has three purposes for this plan. First, to help the Feihu left-behind army out of seclusion safely; second, instead of being passively trapped and letting the Holy Lord and the Central Committee pinch their necks and letting them be slaughtered, it is better to take the initiative to attack. On the one hand, to continue the good cooperation between the two sides, satisfy the Holy Lord and the Central Committee's desire to kill with a knife, and on the other hand, to use the opportunity to attack Goguryeo to do their best to strengthen themselves; third, to deceive and paralyze the desert and make a trend of separating the northeastern border and reliance. Once the desert is trapped and no longer forcefully solves the belonging problem of Anzhou and Northeast with force, we will win precious time to breathe and develop."

The atmosphere in the lobby was still heavy, and many senior executives of the alliance did not change their position because of Yuan An's explanation. Yuan An was talking about the situation of this plan. What benefits may it bring to the alliance and everyone? What are the disadvantages of this plan?

The fact is obvious. With the current strength of the alliance, even if it reaches the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, it will not determine the outcome of the Eastern Expedition.

The Middle-Turk Expeditionary Force attacked Goguryeo twice, both ended in failure. The first Eastern Expedition was defeated by Sashui, and more than 100,000 soldiers buried their bones in a foreign land. During the Second Eastern Expedition, the main force was once again blocked by Liaodong City. What does this mean? Could it be that the Emperor's personal expedition and the elite army of the Guardian were all decorations? Is it insufficient combat power or improper command, or is the Goguryeo people who received the favor of God, like God's help? From this, who dares to say that the third Eastern Expedition can be unstoppable and destroyed? The emperor and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces have been repeatedly frustrated. Why can Li Fengyun and tens of thousands of alliance troops be invincible?

The battlefield in Liaodong is a bottomless "pit". When the alliance army arrived on the battlefield, it was either "pitted" by the Goguryeo people or "pitted" and killed by the Guardian army. In short, if it is not strong enough, it will be destroyed if it is not careful.

Antel couldn't help but question Yuan An, "According to the inference of the Grand Chief Executive, how likely is it to win when we participate in the third Eastern Expedition?"

"The chief manager has a hundred times more confidence." Yuan An smiled, "Of course, the premise is that the chief manager needs everyone's full support and the alliance needs to work together."

Yuan An understates the story, but Antel pursued him relentlessly, "Compared with the northern expedition of Ruoluo River, is the chance of winning in the eastern expedition of Goguryeo?"

Even if Goguryeo was dying, its strength was far greater than that of the three Donghu tribes of Xi, Shi and Khitan. With the strength of the alliance, he had no chance of winning even against Donghu before, let alone pulling a group of Han captive teams to go to the expedition to Goguryeo.

Yuan An smiled, "The northern expedition to Ruoluo River is the power of our family, but the eastern expedition to Goguryeo was the power of the earth. The difference in strength between the two is like a croaker and an elephant, and there is no comparison."

Antel sneered, "The key to the problem lies in the disparity in strength. Once we join the Eastern Expedition, we will definitely charge forward. There are strong cities in front and huge emperors behind. Can the great general manager still be able to conquer and be invincible?"

"If you put it to death, you will live." Yuan An smiled and nodded, "The alliance can reach today and we can grow to this point because we will live in death every step we take, and we will not give ourselves a way out, so that we can go further."

Antel heard Yuan An's pun and asked bluntly, "What do you mean is that if we don't participate in the third Eastern Expedition, we won't go further?"

"Yes." Yuan An said, "The Civil War is our life and death hurdle. Only by crossing this hurdle can we have a future. If we want to cross this hurdle, we must first have strong strength. Without strength, there will be no future."

Everyone lost their voices, and the lobby was silent.

After a long time, Li Zixiong broke his silence, "Can the chief executive have specific conditions for returning to negotiations?"

"Yes." Yuan An said, "the first condition is that the autonomy of Anzhou and Northeast China will refuse to give in."
