Chapter 289 is split

In mid-November, the king of Qi sat in Pengcheng, and Hu Benlang led Li Shanheng to suppress the thieves, and repeatedly fought with Li Fengyun's alliance army in the Yishui and Shushui areas, and the two sides won and lost each other, and the stalemate was stalemate.

At the same time, edicts and letters from the Eastern Capital flew to Pengcheng like snowflakes, and military and political officials such as King Qi, Wei Fusi, Cui Deben, and Liang Dezhong trembled in the face of the political storm in the Eastern Capital.

Liang Dezhong was the first to be "relieved", after receiving the edict of the Eastern Capital, and after receiving the analysis and prediction of the political situation in the Eastern Capital by the political group, Liang Dezhong "fled" and left Xuzhou.

Cui Deben also has a sense of foreboding that a catastrophe is coming. This year is actually an ominous year, from the death of Yuanshou at the beginning of the year to the death of Liu Shilong, Yu Zhongwen, and Zhang Heng this month, the top level of Middle-earth withered a full ten military and political veterans, of which there were as many as five people in the core decision-making level of the center, and the military also lost two generals and one general, which was an unbearable burden for Middle-earth. If we add to this the deaths of 200,000 soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and the civilians who died in the drought, plague, and burning and plundering of the rebels in Shandong, the number of dead in Middle-earth this year is even more incalculable. However, the terrible thing is that the shadow of death has not disappeared because of the arrival of midwinter, on the contrary, it has become more gloomy and colder, and no one knows where the intensifying political storm will push the political situation in the eastern capital.

Cui Deben is very pessimistic about the future, although he doesn't know what the future of the political situation in the Eastern Capital is, but it is a fact that Cui Hongsheng is locked up in the Eastern Capital Prison, so the future will definitely not be too optimistic for Cui Hongsheng himself and the Boling Cui family. It would be nice to be able to predict the future, so that Choi could find a solution to reverse the situation. As soon as this idea arose, Cui De thought of the white thief Li Fengyun and Li Fengyun's prophecy of the Eastern Crusade. Now Li Fengyun's prophecy has come true, and even Cui Hongsheng's fate has been righted by him, although the Twelve Ladies and Cui Jiu rushed to the Liaodong battlefield to try to save Cui Hongsheng, but the destiny of heaven is irreversible, Cui Hongsheng did not fail to escape from prison after all, next, will Cui Hongsheng die? Judging from the known facts, Li Fengyun does have the ability to predict the future, he leaked the secret of heaven to the Cui family, it stands to reason that the Cui family should be able to escape this catastrophe, as long as Cui Hongsheng does not die, as long as he survives this hurdle, the future of the Cui family is relatively optimistic. For a while, Cui Deben actually had the urge to meet Li Fengyun, and he was eager to know the fate of the Cui family, the fate of Cui Hongsheng and his own future.

At this moment, in Pengcheng, it is not only Cui Deben who is eager to see Li Fengyun, but also Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Wei Fusi.

Li Fengyun's prophecies came true one by one, which made Yang Lan and Wei Fusi, the kings of Qi, amazed, but also had a trace of fear, a trace of gloomy feelings that could not tell whether they were happy or worried. A person who knows the future can imagine the horror of it, but can the future change? If the Mandate of Heaven cannot be violated, and you can only use the Heavenly Opportunity to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages after spying on the Heavenly Machine, then this incredible talent is just a means of saving your life, however, what Li Fengyun is doing and planning to do is obviously going against the sky. What are the consequences of going against the sky? There was no turning back when the bow was opened, and the Qi King Yang Lan and Wei Fusi had already embarked on the road of no return, and now it seemed that they could only gamble with their lives like Li Fengyun.

For the direction of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, it is also difficult to speculate on the direction of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, although one thing is foreseeable, that is, in order to launch the Second Eastern Crusade, in order to win the support of many political groups in the Eastern Capital, they will inevitably make various compromises, such as transferring Dong Chun back to Pengcheng and lifting the ban on Li Zixiong's father and son, which is the compromise made by the Holy Lord and the Central Center to the Guanlong local political group with King Qi and Wei Shi, such as only killing Liu Shilong but not Yu Zhongwen and Yuwenshu, which is a compromise with the military, but, What is incomprehensible is that while the Holy Lord and the Central Center are making compromises, they do not know what purpose and idea they have, but they frequently "counterattack" their political opponents with rare and drastic means, such as killing Zhang Heng, the former imperial historian who has been removed from the list of the people, such as rewarding the commander of the water division, why is this? Revenge? Retaliation against the Guanlong local political zhì group to coerce the Holy Lord into concessions with the safety of the north-south transportation artery? Can the retaliation military make a trip to coerce the Holy Lord to kill Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu? In the current situation, this kind of clumsy means of retaliation, in addition to intensifying the contradictions, will not play the role of striking at the opponent at all, nor can it play the role of maintaining the authority of the Holy Lord and the center, but will allow the opponent to work together under the same hatred of the enemy, but will further weaken the authority of the Lord and the center.

Because they couldn't see the direction of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, Qi Wang Yang Lan and Wei Fusi were worried, and they couldn't help but want to meet with Li Fengyun to see if they could find out a little bit of heaven from Li Fengyun and make full preparations for the next control of Qilu.

Wei Fusi drove lightly, hurriedly went to Xiapi, and after meeting with Li Shanheng, he immediately sent someone to contact Li Fengyun and invite him to talk secretly.

Li Fengyun is already preparing to evacuate Xuzhou. According to the agreement, Li Fengyun's alliance army will cooperate on the Jishui line to effectively contain Zhang Xutuo, so Li Fengyun must hurry up and return to southwest Lu and deploy the main army to the Jishui line, so as not to delay the major event. However, Wei Fusi's sudden invitation made Li Fengyun realize that there might be a serious change in the political situation in the eastern capital, so he decided to postpone the evacuation.

After the two met, Wei Fusi did not hide it, and told the changes in the political situation in the eastern capital in detail, the main content was not much different from Li Fengyun's prediction, but to Li Fengyun's surprise, the sailor was not only without fault, but meritorious, and the chief manager of the sailor was not only not punished, but was rewarded heavily.

This is so unbelievable and completely deviates from normal logic, which can only show one thing, the naval division's attack on Pyongyang in advance is indeed from the instructions of the Holy Lord and the center. It's just that why did the Holy Lord and the Center want to "publicize" this matter in disguise by rewarding the child? This matter is not "public", Laihu'er and the sailor bear the responsibility, even if everyone has speculation, but there is no basis for unfounded accusations against the Holy Lord and the center, and once it is "made public", the authority of the Holy Lord and the center will be attacked, and the Weifu will inevitably fall into the danger of splitting, which is very unfavorable to the Holy Lord and the center, and it is also very unfavorable to the Second Eastern Crusade, which is obvious.

Li Fengyun was puzzled, but with Wei Fusi's narration, Li Fengyun vaguely found the answer.

With the defeat of the Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord and the central authority were lost, the advantages previously occupied by the reformers were lost, the conservatives took the opportunity to fight back, and the reformists resisted stubbornly, and the two opposing political groups finally and inevitably went to split, and it was difficult to maintain the pattern of compromise.

In the previous pattern of compromise, the reformers had a great advantage, and the conservatives had a unilateral compromise, but now the shape has been subverted, the conservatives have the advantage, and the reformers refuse to compromise, they cannot let the reform go backwards, let alone let the clan government make a comeback, so the result of the struggle will inevitably be a split, a split within the ruling class, a split within the aristocratic group.

Since they were divided, the tip of the needle was against Maimang, the knife against the knife, the gun against the gun, and the face was completely torn, then of course, the Holy Lord and the reformers did their best to maintain and expand their own strength regardless of the cost, and the Guardian and the Sailor Masters, as the absolute descendants of the Holy Lord in the military, naturally received the greatest special treatment. And the message of this special treatment is also very straightforward, as long as you are loyal to the Holy Lord and obey the Holy Lord's words, you can get a qiē, even if you lose the battle, you can be promoted to the rank of lord, so it can be inferred that you can do whatever you want, and you can be above the law. Crazy, the Holy Lord and the reformers went crazy, under the heavy blow of the double defeat of politics and military, and under the fierce counterattack of the conservative forces, the formation was in chaos, every inch was in chaos, and even their minds were lost a little bit in the chaos.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Lan and Wei Fusi, the kings of Qi, are very pessimistic about the situation in the Eastern Capital, and it is even more difficult to see the direction of the political situation in the Eastern Capital next year. Although Li Fengyun had already made a prediction before, predicting that the conservative forces in the Eastern Capital would launch a military coup next year, and that next year's Second Eastern Crusade would fall short and return in vain, and the current violent turmoil in the Eastern Capital also supported Li Fengyun's prediction from a certain extent, but will the Eastern Capital really break out next year? If a military coup breaks out, which conservative forces will move it? Is it Yang Lan, the king of Qi? Judging from the strength of the many conservative forces in the eastern capital at present, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is the strongest, and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, has the determination to fight for the imperial unity.

Did Li Fengyun deliberately hide something? From the fact that he took the initiative to provoke the Tongji Canal crisis, from the fact that he actively established a tacit understanding with Qi Wang Yang Lan, and from his active help Qi Wang Yang Lan to expand his strength, there can be a trace of abnormality, and combining these anomalies with his prediction of the situation next year is indeed full of countless questions and countless possibilities.

After Wei Fusi described the changes in the Eastern Capital in detail, he changed his words, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing these questions, in the final analysis, is there a chance for Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to seize the imperial throne next year?

Li Fengyun was taken aback, he suddenly realized that the "Heavenly Machine" Yan Zòng that he revealed had misled Qi King Yang Lan and Wei Fusi, or rather, because Qi King Yang Lan and Wei Fusi had their own interests and demands, they stood on their own position and deduced the future according to the "Heavenly Machine", which stimulated them and released the "devil" buried deep in their hearts, so they actually had the idea of seizing the imperial throne by force.

Li Fengyun was thrilled, is history really going to change? Judging from the exhibition of the current situation, Yang Xuangan will still carry out a military coup next summer, if there is a change, this change will come from Yang Lan, the king of Qi, once Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the army of Xijing are sandwiched between the east and west, and annihilate Yang Xuangan before the Holy Lord, or Yang Xuangan wisely chooses to support Yang Lan, the king of Qi, at a critical moment, and the conservative forces in Middle-earth form an alliance and cooperate to unanimously fight against the Holy Lord, then history is indeed likely to change, but is this change beneficial to Middle-earth? Once the civil war broke out, the Holy Lord and the King of Qi Yang Lan fought equally, Middle-earth fell into division and war, and the destruction of life was secondary, I was afraid that the Great Northern War would explode in advance, and the Shibi Khan on the desert roared down with hundreds of thousands of control strings, how could Middle-earth resist?

After Li Fengyun weighed it for a while, he categorically vetoed it, and he told Wei Fusi in a very solemn tone, "I told you that next year's mutiny is a failed mutiny, because the facts are very clear, after coming to protect the child and receiving the reward, the impact will be very great, and it will have an immeasurable impact in both the military and political circles, especially the low-level nobles, who will be more loyal to the Holy Lord, and the strength of the Holy Lord will increase unabated." ”

Wei Fusi got the answer he needed and immediately stopped the conversation. Then, he talked about Li Zixiong, Li Min and his son, as well as the new changes in the situation in Qilu caused by their arrival.

Obviously, Wei Fusi has a lot of confidence in controlling Qilu. Lai Hu'er and the water master are ready to prepare for the second crusade under the "preferential treatment" of the Holy Lord, and the returning veteran Li Zixiong has no place in the water division, and it is estimated that there is a good chance that he will take over the responsibility of Zhou Fashang to suppress Qilu. If Qilu Zhuyingyang is under the control of Li Zixiong, and the supreme administrator of Lu County is Li Min, plus Li Fengyun and his alliance of righteous troops as an "internal response", it is easy for Yang Mu, the king of Qi, to control Qilu as easily.

Li Fengyun was noncommittal about this, did not express any opinion, and did not make any predictions or deductions. Whether it is the king of Qi or Wei Fuhei, they are all high-ranking magnates, and the kind of pride and self-confidence in their bones will not change until death, and ordinary people can't understand it at all, and it is impossible to understand it, so as far as this matter is concerned, Li Fengyun disdains to speak. If people are too confident, they are arrogant, blindly arrogant, and they don't know what to say. In fact, the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center towards the King of Qi has been very clear, containment and containment, and will definitely not let the King of Qi threaten the political situation in the Eastern Capital, the reason why the King of Qi is allowed to control Xuzhou is because across the Huai River is the Jiangdu, which is enough to contain the King of Qi, and the local forces of Qilu have Duan Wencao, the Guanlong forces have Zhang Xutuo and Dou Xuan, the Jiangzuo forces have Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang, and there are huge sailors, the Holy Lord has these people, Qilu is in the palm of his hand, as for Li Zixiong, Li Min and his son, they came to Qilu alone, and they are weak. It was only a matter of minutes and seconds for the Holy Lord to clean them up.

However, the King of Qi's attempt to control Qilu was beneficial to the Qilu Righteous Army, Li Fengyun had a bottom, of course, he had to make good use of it, he told Wei Fusi that he was going to evacuate Xuzhou, and he wanted to cooperate with the heroes of Northeast Lu to attack Zhang Xutuo, so he needed the "tacit understanding" of King Qi next.

Wei Fusi agreed. With this experience in Xuzhou, the trust between the two sides has increased, but each side has its own interests, and the current "cooperation" is only at the stage of "tacit understanding".
