Pei Shiju's recommendation of the King of Qi to go north to the army was expected by everyone, after all, the Holy Lord had to "relax" in the face of the current predicament, and the previous decision of the central government to adjust the personnel of the military and political officials in northern Xinjiang was already a clear signal.

It's just that the King of Qi has a special identity, he is the only prince of the Holy Lord, and he is the future king of Middle-earth.

For the top echelons of domestic power, it sends a signal of political exile from the king of Qi, which may exacerbate the struggle for imperial domination and further worsen the political situation in the two capitals; For ordinary aristocrats and the general public, the signal it released was tensions between the North and the South, and the imminent outbreak of a war between the North and the South, which would certainly cause a certain degree of panic and further worsen the domestic situation; Taking a step back, China and Turkey are pessimistic about the future trend of North-South relations, and there will be less and less trust between the two sides, there will be more and more contradictions and conflicts, and a war between the North and the South may break out at any time.

Even if the Holy Lord and the center make this decision, they also need to make careful preparations to create a suitable political environment, and they need to minimize the negative impact of the King of Qi on the situation at home and abroad, otherwise it will be counterproductive, and it will be shooting themselves in the foot.

So, how do you create a suitable political environment?

At home, at the very least, in order to win the political stability of the two capitals, the east must make a compromise with Xijing, and Xijing must also make concessions to the east; even if the two sides tear their faces apart, in view of the deteriorating situation between China and foreign countries, and in view of the imminent outbreak of the Great War between the North and the South, they must temporarily maintain balance and unite with the outside world. At the same time, the central government should strengthen its control over the localities, and the Weifu should intensify its efforts to suppress thieves; although the struggle between the three major aristocratic groups of Guanlong, Shandong, and Jiangzuo has intensified, the domestic rebellion as a concrete manifestation is still under control, and has not yet spread to every piece of land in Middle Earth, and can be swept away with the force of thunder.

Externally, China and Turkey should consolidate and strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks, although the land lost and the lost interests in this year's Western Xinjiang crisis are irretrievable, but they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

In creating this political environment, Pei Shiju's role is crucial, he can defuse the crisis in Xijiang externally, and the crisis in Xijiang has the possibility of being resolved, and only internally can he coerce and persuade Xijing to make concessions; Xijing gave in, and the eastern capital was able to stabilize the political situation in Liangjing; When the political situation in Liangjing is stabilized, the Holy Lord and the center can have the basic conditions for launching the Third Eastern Crusade.

So is Pei Shiju absolutely sure to resolve the crisis in Western Xinjiang?

Pei Shiju's method of resolving the crisis in the Western Xinjiang was nominally to consolidate and strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks at the expense of the interests of China in the Western Regions, but in essence it was to provoke a fight between the Eastern and Western Turks. The Eastern and Western Turks fought each other and consumed each other, so they were unable to take care of Middle-earth, on the contrary, they both sought Middle-earth, so Middle-earth could profit, not only the crisis in the west and north of Xinjiang could be resolved, but also won enough time to restore national strength, and when the national strength was restored, Middle-earth could launch a civil war and unite with the Western Turks to destroy the east. The Turks then swept across the Western Regions and drove the Western Turks to the west of the Green Mountains, so that his grand strategy of defense and diplomacy would be considered a success, and his political ambitions would be realized.

However, this kind of thing has already been done in Middle-earth once, and the Eastern and Western Turks have suffered heavy losses and their vitality has been greatly damaged. I believe that the two Turks will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and their first target now is Middle-earth.

The Western Turks wanted to fight the Persians to the death, and for this reason they tried by all means to provoke the East. The war between the Turks and Middle-earth, while the East. In order to establish a unified Great Turkic Khanate, the Turks also had to find ways to weaken the Western Turks and Middle Earth, just as the Western Turks were going to war with the Persians, so the East. The goal of the Turks is Middle-earth, as long as you defeat Middle-earth and hit Middle-earth hard, then East. It would have been easy for the Turks to clean up the Western Turks, who had lost both sides with the Persians.

This? An analysis shows that it is very difficult for Pei Shiju to achieve the established long-term goals when he travels westward, but the short-term goals are still certain, and the Western Turks are still willing to drive the East and the Turks out of the Western Regions, and they are still willing to join forces with China and Earth to fight the East. The Turks pose a threat.

East. Once the Turks are at a disadvantage, there is only one way to compromise, and considering the lessons of the past, the Eastern and Western Turks will inevitably join forces against Middle-earth. In this situation, the Western Turks considered that they were about to fight the Persians, and in order to relieve their worries, this was the best way to provoke the East. The opportunity for a great war between the Turks and Middle-earth will inevitably instigate the East. The Turks launched a great war between the north and the south, and the east. The Turks considered that Middle-earth was too strong, and they could not deal with Middle-earth alone, and at this moment, it coincided with the successive defeats of the Eastern Expedition in Middle-earth, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and there were Western Turks to help contain the most powerful Northwest Army in Middle-earth, so obviously this is the best opportunity to conduct a great war between the North and the South.

Since the Civil War is a fact visible and unavoidable, and the results of Pei Shiju's westward journey, from another angle, are in fact equivalent to accelerating the outbreak of the Civil War, then Pei Shiju took precautions and naturally actively prepared for war in northern Xinjiang, but before today, Pei Shiju considered that the vitality of Middle-earth was greatly damaged and he did not have the absolute certainty of winning the Civil War, so he still tried to delay the outbreak of the Civil War with "main peace".

However, a secret letter from Feng Deyi and a piece of Duan Da's prelude forced him to change his stance and instead support the Holy Lord to continue the eastward crusade, which was tantamount to declaring that the attitude of China and Turkey in north-south relations had changed from "moderate" to "tough", which was a prelude to tearing his face, and the deterioration of north-south relations was bound to get faster and faster, and the pace of the north-south war was bound to get closer and closer, which in turn forced Pei Shiju to do everything possible to strengthen the northern Xinjiang suppression force and find ways to contain and delay the rupture of north-south relations, so he had only one choiceHe openly supported the king of Qi to go north to the border and openly demanded the recruitment of white-haired thieves, striving to transform the dangerous factors that would have "harmed" the situation in northern Xinjiang into favorable conditions that could temporarily maintain relations between the north and the south as quickly as possible, so as to lay a better defensive foundation for the upcoming civil war.

The content in Duan Da's recital must be credible, whether it is Feng Deyi, Duan Da, or Yin Shishishi, it is impossible for them to lie about the military situation and joke with their own net worth. If the army of the white-haired thieves is as high as tens of thousands, and they are fighting on three fronts at the same time, it can be seen that their strength has reached the point where they can threaten the security of northern Xinjiang.

The reversal of the situation in the northern Xinjiang and the deterioration of the north-south relations can be contained, which is very beneficial to Pei Shiju's westward journey, which can ensure that Pei Shiju can achieve the intended goal, on the contrary, if Pei Shiju provokes the fight between the eastern and western Turks in the west, and the eastern front is in a predicament, and the northern Xinjiang Zhenjun army can not effectively contain the northern army, resulting in no worries about the desert tooth tent, and dare to concentrate on the decisive battle with the Western Turks at Dajin Mountain, then the whole situation will be unfavorable to the Middle Earth, if the Western Turks are defeated, Pei Shiju's trip to the west will not only be fruitless, but will even exacerbate the crisis in western Xinjiang.

However, the king of Qi can still control it, but the white-haired thief can't control it, although Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong and other nobles are rebellious under the white-haired thief's account, the holy lord can issue an edict of amnesty, allowing them to make meritorious contributions, but does the white-haired thief believe in the holy lord? Would you like to serve the Imperial Court? Are you willing to hand over the army? If the white-haired thief first pretends to be cared for to gain respite, and then strikes a blow, or even goes to foreign countries, and fights with the northern captives inside and outside, the Great Wall will be in danger, and the northern frontier is more likely to fall into long-term chaos, which will be a disaster for the current Middle-earth.

Therefore, for the Holy Lord and the center, it is okay for the King of Qi to go north to the border, and the risk is controllable, but it is not possible to recruit an white-haired thief, the risk is too great. Taking a step back, Li Zixiong, Han Shimo, Zhou Zhong and other nobles can be pardoned, and the young and strong civilians who participated in the rebel army can also be pardoned, but all the thieves such as the white-haired thief cannot be pardoned, this kind of person not only has a backbone, can not be trusted, but more importantly, they have "black hands" behind them, they are only loyal to these "black hands", and there is a possibility of rebellion at any time, so they must be killed, and they must be killed to make an example of monkeys, this is a matter of principle, and there is no room for negotiation.

Therefore, when Pei Shiju proposed to appease the white-haired thief, the Holy Lord and the central ministers all showed surprise. It is impossible for Pei Shiju not to know the principles of the Holy Lord and the Center, and it is impossible for him to violate the principles, in this case, why did he still make this proposal that was impossible at all? Taking a step back, even if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee compromised, how could Pei Shiju believe that the white-haired thief and his thieves were willing to hand over their army and let the court slaughter it?

Nayan Su Wei couldn't help it, he and Pei Shiju were not only political allies, but also had a very good personal relationship, at this moment he couldn't help but remind Pei Shiju, "Wen Xigong, the white-haired thief is just a chess piece, he can't decide his own fate, how can he decide the fate of tens of thousands of traitors?" ”

Pei Shiju thought for a moment and sighed, "Perhaps, someone can decide his fate." ”
