Obviously, with Anzhou's successive battles and rapid growth, as Anzhou has achieved its own advantages in the north-south confrontation, Anzhou's value is getting bigger and bigger, and Anzhou is also galloping on the road out of control.

How could this bad situation occur? Why didn't this serious issue come to mind before making the decision to support Anju's northern expedition to weak Luoshui? Was it my own negligence, or was I deceived by some illusion?

Thinking about it carefully, it is nothing more than self-righteousness, thinking that he is "stuck" in Anzhou's throat, thinking that Li Zixiong and other rebels want to take Anzhou in exchange for pardon, thinking that Anzhou's survival is inseparable from Middle Earth, all kinds of assumptions, as a result, today Cui Hongsheng reported that it was the white thief who actually controlled Anzhou, and the white thief was so strong that even more than 30,000 Turkic troops defeated him, so the question is, who can control the white thief? At the beginning, Duan Da borrowed a knife to kill people and drove the white thieves out of the fortress to attack the Turks, killing two birds with one stone, but the white thieves planned and recovered Anzhou, which shows that this person is very cunning, ambitious, and uncontrollable.

The premise of the murder plan with a knife is that the knife is controllable, and you can control the knife, otherwise, you will move a stone to your own foot and bring disaster upon yourself.

Now this knife is still controllable, Anzhou still needs support from the Great Wall, and the white thief also needs to use the support from the Great Wall to grow stronger, but once Anzhou achieves a great victory in the Northern Expedition, defeats the Donghu Zhuzhu, and controls the Northeast, you can sell the Northeast for a good price, this knife will be out of control, and the plan to kill people with a knife will fail, but the opponent will use his own plan to treat his people, and he will be defeated, so in order to prevent it from happening, it is necessary to stop the implementation of the plan to kill people with a knife as soon as possible, and nip the foreseeable danger in the bud.

So, how to stop the murder by knife scheme?

At present, there are only two ways, one is to go back on its word, cut off the support to Anzhou, force Anzhou to give up the northern expedition, can only be trapped in a corner, the center completely gave up the use of the Northeast chaos to attack and weaken the Turks, delay the intention of the Civil War, all kinds of benefits are gone, but in this way, the crisis is not only not solved, but serious, Anzhou is cornered, angry, simply go to the desert, help the Turks to fight Middle-earth, then the situation will inevitably take a sharp turn, extremely unfavorable to Middle-earth.

There is also a way to compromise, accept the return conditions of Anzhou, meet the political demands of Anzhou, the benefits that should be wanted, but the open inclusion of Anzhou and even the Northeast into the territory of Middle-earth, directly harming the vital interests of the desert, is equivalent to directly tearing the face with the Turks, the North-South War is very likely to explode in advance, and Middle-earth is not ready for the North-South War at all, the Holy Lord and the reformers are even doing their best to launch the Third Crusade, hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops are still in the eastern border of Liaodong, Pei Shiju has not returned from his westward journey, I don't know if the alliance with the Western Turks has been completed, in this unfavorable situation, if the North-South War suddenly breaks out, Middle-earth has little chance of winning, but now the Holy Lord and the reformers are in a deep political predicament and cannot afford to lose at all, so in the short term, Middle-earth does not have the conditions for a North-South War, so it will not be able to tear up with the Turks immediately, and it will not be able to accept Anzhou's request for return.

So it is not to advance, nor is it to retreat, and it is not based on advance and retreat.

The Holy Lord thought for a long time and consulted the opinions of the three important military ministers, General Yu Wenshu of Zuo Yiwei, General Lai Hu'er of Right Yiwei, and Zhao Cai, General of Right Houwei, "What are the chances of Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui?" ”

In fact, this problem was long before the center made the decision to support Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui, and many generals of Weifu had already given analysis and deduction, but at that time, because they did not know that the Turkic army in the southeast of the moraine suddenly entered Anzhou, so the conclusion at that time was not optimistic, considering that Anzhou may be in danger of being attacked by the enemy, the chance of victory is not great, or the results are limited, so there is a decision to openly intervene in the northeast battlefield to cooperate, and strive to achieve the expected goal of controlling the northeast.

Now that Anzhou has achieved a great victory in the ghost side, defeating the Turkic army in the southeast of the moraine, there is no danger of being attacked by the enemy in the short term, and he can concentrate his forces on the northern expedition to weak Luoshui, coupled with the cooperation of the Liaodong Zhenshu army, of course, the chance of victory is very great, so Yuwenshu, Laihu'er and Zhao Cai's answer to the Holy Lord is that it is more optimistic.

The Holy Lord thought for a moment and then asked, "If the Anzhou Northern Expedition achieves the expected results, how will the Turks react?" Will they do everything they can to defeat Anju and retake the Northeast? ”

Yuwenshu, Laihu'er, and Zhao Cai immediately analyzed and deduced the Holy Lord, and finally concluded that it was unlikely that the Turks would do their best to recapture the northeast.

At present, there are internal and external troubles in Middle-earth, there are rebellions in the country, the crisis in the western Xinjiang is serious, and the eastward crusade for two consecutive years has achieved the goal of severely inflicting damage on Goguryeo, but the national strength consumption is relatively large, and there are no conditions to take the initiative to start the Great War in the north and south in the short term, so judging from the position of the Turks, the real purpose of the Middle Earth in the northeast to kill people with knives and use the power of the rebels in China to attack and weaken the Turks should be to delay the explosion of the Civil War.

Since the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he has moved the western and eastern expeditions, and successfully inflicted heavy losses on the two wings of the desert, and then he must go on a northern expedition, a civil war, and a fight against the Turks, but the Middle-earth army stumbled on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and his nose and face were swollen, and it took time to recover, which was delayed.

Although the north and the south are facing each other, it is a fact that the south is strong and the north is weak, and now that the civil war is about to start in Middle Earth, the Turks are passively responding, of course, they must go all out to prepare for war, how can they not see that the northeast battlefield is a trap? How could they foolishly fall into a trap and waste their limited strength? Therefore, the Turkic countermeasures may be two-pronged: on the one hand, strengthen the military strength in the southeast of the moraine, consolidate the defense of the desert flank, and even send troops to Anzhou to confront each other head-on, forming a military threat, and on the other hand, they will win over Anzhou, and even carry out discordant schemes, doing everything possible to reduce the harm caused by the fall of the Northeast to the desert, so that the tooth tent can focus on war preparations, and will never let the fall of the Northeast affect or even destroy their war preparations, and never let the conspiracy of the Middle Earth succeed.

The first countermeasure is to make a tough counterattack posture in Anzhou, and exert heavy pressure on Anzhou militarily, and the second countermeasure is to find a flaw in Anzhou, and strive to win the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and destroy the conspiracy of Middle-earth, the two complement each other and complement each other, and the results can be imagined, once Middle-earth and Anzhou turn against each other, the flaws appear, giving the Turks a chance to break the situation, and as long as Anzhou falls to the desert, Middle-earth will be passive, move stones to hit their own feet, and cheapen the desert in vain. In the end, they will even lose the Civil War.

Therefore, such an analysis, if Anzhou wins the victory of the Northern Expedition to weak Luoshui, its strength has increased greatly, and it quickly gets out of control, the plan of borrowing a knife to kill people on the side of Middle-earth will not be able to be implemented, and it can only compromise with Anzhou to meet the requirements of Anzhou's return, but the consequences of accepting Anzhou are very serious, and the Civil War is very likely to explode in advance, and Middle-earth is not ready for war, once the two sides fight, Middle-earth may lose.

So the Holy Lord and the Central Pillar were in a dilemma, and fell into a dead end.

Yu Shiji immediately suggested that this proposal should be put on hold for the time being, after all, Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui is difficult, even if it is undefeated, it may not be able to achieve the expected results, because if the Donghu tribes flee when they hear the wind, refuse to fight, and delay in every way, then Anzhou will not be able to kill and injure the living forces of Donghu, and will not be able to achieve the expected goal, so after the beginning of spring, once the Turkic army on the desert comes to support, Anzhou will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and it must rely on the support within the Great Wall to persevere, so that Anzhou will be firmly controlled by the center, There is no danger of getting out of control, and the plan to kill people with a knife can continue to be implemented, and this proposal will no longer exist.

Yu Shiji believes that the top priority at the moment is to expel the Flying Fox rebels from the customs as soon as possible, or to put pressure on the King of Qi to cut off King Qi's secret support for the Flying Fox rebels, and then help Cui Hongsheng to successfully implement the plan of discord, so as to achieve the goal of solving the Flying Fox rebels once and for all.

The Holy Lord accepted Yu Shiji's advice.

The situation in Anzhou and even in the Northeast has changed drastically, and it is ever-changing, unpredictable, giving people a sense of overwhelming, dazzling, and unpredictable, it is difficult to make accurate analysis and deduction through limited information, and it is impossible to accurately capture its forward trajectory, so the center is very passive, and can only do one step at a time, see the moves, take it for granted or blindly lay out in advance to obtain the benefits they need, in fact, it is impossible at all, but there is the possibility of self-defeating.

The Holy Lord immediately made a decision, ordered Cui Hongsheng, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to agree to his suggestion, ordered Gubeikou to maintain negotiations with Anzhou, try to delay, and at the same time allow Cui Hongsheng to return to Shanggu as soon as possible, and use all means to expel the Flying Fox rebels from the pass before the end of the year.

He also ordered Zhuojun to stay behind Duan Da and the deputy to stay in the Yin Shishi, and fully cooperate with Cui Hongsheng to solve the flying fox disaster.

He also personally summoned General Zuo Xiaowei and Dong Chun, the Taishou of Yanmen County, to inform him of the latest situation in Anzhou, the requirements for Anzhou's return, the center's concerns about Anzhou's loss of control, and so on, and then consulted Dong Chun's opinion.

Dong Chun knew that the Holy Lord Drunkard's intention was not to drink, and what he wanted to consult was not to take countermeasures against Anzhou, but to take this opportunity to put pressure on the King of Qi, although forced by the current tension between the north and the south, as well as the political needs of the Holy Lord and the reformers for the Third Eastern Crusade, the center could only make a compromise to the "self-exile" of the King of Qi, but this compromise was limited, and it was based on the premise of not harming or endangering the fundamental interests of Middle-earth. So the Flying Fox rebels naturally became the "thorn in the side" of the Holy Lord and the center, and vowed to pull them out.

Dong Chun has no choice, whether it is from the interests of Middle Earth, the safety of Northern Xinjiang or from the perspective of the Great Northern War, the Flying Fox rebels must be out of the customs, the decision of the Holy Lord and the center is very correct, but the implementation of this strategy is very difficult, and the biggest obstacle comes from the King of Qi, so Dong Chun did not hesitate, took the initiative to ask for help, and was willing to rush to Huaihuang day and night to persuade the King of Qi to resolutely implement the decision of the Holy Lord and the center.

The Holy Lord was quite appreciative and immediately gave a few words of encouragement.

Dong Chun saw that the Holy Lord was in a good mood, and decisively raised a question, "Holy Lord, the return of Anzhou, is it on the central agenda?" ”

This is very critical, if the Holy Lord and the Center attach importance to the return of Anzhou, and even risk turning their faces with the desert and include Anzhou in the territory of Middle Earth, then the future situation will be beneficial to King Qi, on the contrary, if the Holy Lord and the Center ignore Anzhou's request, borrow a knife to kill, and cook the rabbit to death after using it, cutting off the road of King Qi to expand his own strength with the help of Anzhou, then King Qi will definitely try his best to prevent the Flying Fox rebels from leaving the customs, so the situation will be complicated.

The Holy Lord frowned slightly, his eyes showed a worried expression, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "There is no arrangement for the time being, but if the Northern Expedition is victorious, Anzhou sweeps through the northeast, and a new force rises rapidly outside the Saiwai, then the return will inevitably be on the agenda, and the Great War between the North and the South will also break out." ”

Dong Chun comprehended and immediately said that he would go to the border county, kill the prisoners in blood, and swear to serve the country to the death.
