readx;?? On the thirteenth of September, on the west bank of the Lightning River, on the Star Plain, the tense confrontation between the Middle-earth and the Turks became more and more serious, and the soldiers on both sides were on the verge of breaking out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The status of the king of Qi in the middle earth is noble and prominent, and every move has a direct impact on the relationship between the north and the south, so the tooth flag in the absence of the tooth tent instructions, the rat taboo, dare not act rashly, but everything has a degree, done will inevitably backfire, the situation will get out of control, if the king of Qi is unwilling to compromise, he has to drag the main force of the tooth banner for a long time, let the white-haired thief trouble the lightning plain, in a vain attempt to use the power of the white-haired thief to fight the Turks, Ashina is in a hurry, and will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack regardless of the cost.

The king of Qi is self-aware, of course, he does not dare to take risks, and he does not dare to provoke the Turks to turn against him, but now that he has gone deep into the desert and has been out of the jam, of course, he must touch the bottom of the Turks and test the limit of the Turks' patience, so that he can kill two birds with one stone, which can not only fulfill his promise to Li Fengyun and give strong support to the alliance army, but also roughly find out the latest attitude and position of the Turks in the north-south relations, and create better conditions for their foothold and development in the northern border of Yan.

Therefore, the initial attitude of King Qi was very arrogant, shouting to take advantage of the victory to pursue, to cross the river quickly, to kill the white-haired thief, but this kind of thief shouting to catch the thief is too bad to do it, everyone understands people, they know each other, people give you face, let you take a step, you don't know what to do, you have to inch in, kick your nose in the face, if you have to force people to death, it is not wise, the dog is anxious and jumps the wall, not to mention people? Therefore, the next day, King Qi's attitude changed, he reined in, and took the initiative to take a step, since the white-haired thief is everyone's common enemy, how about joining forces to kill? You and I will fight together to chase and intercept the lightning plain, and we will be able to cut off the head of the white-haired thief as we wish. This is a delaying tactic, and the Turks know it well, so they continue to obstruct it, continue to persuade with painstaking words, know it with affection, move it with reason, coerce and induce, and take turns in all kinds of means. As a result, on the third day, that is, today, the king of Qi gave in again, okay, I won't cross the river, I won't go to the lightning plain, considering the importance of the relationship between the north and the south, I will stop there, but the condition is, you must kill the white-haired thief and give me his head, otherwise how can I go back and make a difference? Where does the credit come from?

This is still a delaying tactic, but it gives a clear signal to the Turks, that is, the king of Qi is fierce, and on the surface he is aggressive, but in fact he is weak-hearted, worried that the situation will get out of control and there will be an accident, so he does not dare to stay in the desert for a long time, and if he is forced to retreat, he will inevitably retreat. Of course, King Qi and the white-haired thief have a tacit understanding, as long as the white-haired thief finishes looting on the lightning plain and begins to retreat rapidly, King Qi will inevitably follow and turn around.

It depends on the battle situation of Lightning Plains. At present, the tooth banner has Batler Ashina Simo in the town, the army is unstable but it will not be chaotic, and the follow-up from all over the various tribes and armies are gathered in the tooth banner, even if Ashina Simo can not launch a counterattack in the short term, but there is absolutely no problem in sticking to the tooth flag, so how the lightning original battle situation will develop next, the key is the white-haired thief. If the purpose of the white-haired thief is only to burn, kill and plunder, and to announce his existence, then when all the tribes on the lightning plain have withdrawn, and there is nothing left in the fortified wall, the white-haired thief will immediately evacuate, on the contrary, if the purpose of the white-haired thief is to take revenge, it is to attack the tooth banner, it is to have a fierce battle with the Turks, and the king of Qi moved a stone to hit his own foot and was used by him, then Ashina has to fight even if he doesn't want to fight, and he has to fight if he loses both.

Therefore, Ashina and Shi Shu Huxi saw that King Qi took a step back every day, basically figured out the bottom of King Qi, and immediately began to make preparations. If the white-haired thief evacuates quickly, and the King of Qi follows him, everyone has a tacit understanding, then everyone is happy, as long as there is no war, there is no substantial loss, and it is acceptable to lose some face, anyway, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and there is time for revenge; On the other hand, if the white-haired thief does everything desperately and blocks the road, he can only break the net.

However, something unexpected happened. Late that night, Ashina Simo reported urgently, the Turks, the Middle Earth and the horse thief alliance from the flat pine forest confronted Qishuibo, the battle situation fell into a stalemate and confrontation, the situation was a little tense, but this is not the point, the point is that Ashina Simo made an astonishing inference, the target of the comeback of the knife is the Northeast, the knife is the main force to attack the Northeast, and the Emperor of Middle-earth used to drive the tiger and devour the wolf to cover up his "people" who killed people with a knife.

Under the current situation, Middle-earth is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is necessary for the emperor of Middle-earth to continue to make decisions to attack the northeast and continue to conquer foreign countries? Is it necessary to tear the face with the Turks to worsen North-South relations? Is it necessary to make the situation of internal and external troubles more serious? It's completely unnecessary, you can fake the hands of others and use the power of the knife to attack the Northeast.

The sword was wiped out, and the Emperor of Middle-earth did not lose anything, but had the effect of killing two birds with one stone, which not only confused the situation outside the Cypriots, consumed the captives outside the Cypriots, but also eradicated the sword, which contributed to the stability of the domestic situation. But once the sword succeeded, the Emperor of Middle-earth gained greatly, and it was effortless to reverse the passive situation of the northern Xinjiang suppression, and gain an advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south, which was completely in line with the principle of winning the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.

When the current Emperor of Middle-earth faced an embarrassing situation, he had no choice but to appoint some extraordinary people and adopt some extraordinary means, such as re-employing dangerous people such as the knife, who were both good and evil, such as using the rebel force of the knife to do something that the official found difficult and unsuitable for the face, and more importantly, whether it was Shi Shu Huxi or Ashina, they all had a certain degree of understanding of the past of the knife, and they all knew that the knife and the Pei Shiju behind it were in order to contain and attack the targets that threatened or might threaten Middle-earth. Do everything, so the speculation of Ashina Simo "finding another way" immediately attracted the attention of the two.

Ashina is anxious, if Ashina Simo's speculation becomes a reality, then for Ashina and the southeast Yaqi, the future situation is very sinister, and it is very difficult to break the situation. The reason is very simple, the Middle-earth Guardian Army attacked the Northeast, that is, it openly competed with the desert for interests, and did not hesitate to tear its face with the desert, and the tooth tent was forced by reality, even if it did not dare to tear its face for the time being, but it could openly condemn the treachery of the Middle-earth officials, and divide the allies and vassals of Middle-earth, and at the same time secretly give strong support to the three tribes in the Northeast, drag the Middle-earth Guardian Army on the battlefield in the Northeast, and use this small-scale war to take advantage of Middle-earth.

However, the current situation is that the Middle-earth official stays out of the matter, and lets the knife attack the northeast under the banner of the traitor of the Middle earth, this is the personal behavior of the knife, so the situation is subverted, the tooth tent is dumb and eats coptis, and the bitterness cannot be said, if the three tribes in the northeast are allowed to fall, not only the authority of the tooth tent will be damaged, but the solidity of the alliance of the desert will also be greatly reduced, and the advantage of the desert in the confrontation between the north and the south will also be rapidly reduced. On the contrary, if you personally take action or give all-round support to the three tribes in the Northeast, then you will inevitably fall into the trap of the Middle-earth official, and the final result is that in order to safeguard the interests of the Northeast, the Tooth Tent has to continue to consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the Middle-earth Tent has successfully contained and attacked the Tooth Tent by taking advantage of this small-scale war. That is to say, as long as the knife enters the northeast and persists in the northeast, Middle-earth will firmly control the initiative, no matter how the tooth tent is disposed of, the final result will be the same, and it will be calculated by Middle-earth to death, and it can only knock out teeth and swallow blood.

The more Ashina thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he hated Shi Shu Hu Xi even more. Middle-earth wants to conquer the northeast, this is the inference of Shi Shu Huxi; The white-haired thief went out of the plug and the king of Qi patrolled the border, both in order to contain the tooth flag, which was also Shi Shu Huxi's conclusion; Do your best to give the white-haired thief a head-on blow and destroy the containment strategy of Middle-earth, so that the Tooth Banner can give the greatest support when Middle-earth attacks the Northeast, so as to resolutely prevent Middle-earth from seizing the Northeast, this is Shi Shu Huxi's suggestion. Ashina's decision to preserve his strength and avoid fighting was based on this, but the result could be catastrophic. In other words, Shi Shu Huxi deliberately dug a trap and set a trap to tempt Ashina to jump down, once the "disaster" happened, even if the tooth tent lost the benefits of the Northeast, but it was completely possible to use this matter to hit the conservative main peace faction in the tooth tent and help the radical main battle faction in the tooth tent win more decision-making power, so the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages for the radical main battle faction in the tooth tent. The loss of the benefits of the Northeast cannot shake the foundation of the tooth tent at all, and the radical main battle faction controls the decision of the tooth tent, but directly affects and even determines the future of the desert.

Is that the case? Shi Shu Huxi's mood at the moment also plummeted, when he saw the latest speculation made by Ashina Simo, he immediately realized that he had made a serious mistake, a wise man must have a mistake, and the boat capsized in the gutter.

Why did it "capsize"? Shi Shu knew that it was the Emperor of Middle-earth and his closest central ministers who betrayed the knife back then, and in order to defeat the opponent and control the highest decision-making power, they had to sacrifice the lives of these ants led by the knife to provoke a political storm, so the knife would never win the trust of the Emperor of Middle-earth, and even if Pei Shiju wanted to use the power of the knife, it was done in secret, and it was impossible to make it public, so as not to anger the Emperor of Middle-earth. In addition, the King of Qi "collapsed" politically, and the King of Qi was unwilling to fail and wanted to fight with the Emperor of Middle-earth to the end, which Shi Shu Huxi also knew very well, so the King of Qi and the knife had a basis for cooperation, but once the two joined forces, they must be a thorn in the side of the Emperor of Middle-earth, so in the major event of attacking the Northeast, the King of Qi and the knife at most undertook the task of "containment", and it was impossible to become the main attacking force.

However, if King Qi and Dao were desperate to survive and develop, deliberately catering to the wishes of the Emperor of Middle-earth, and taking the initiative to undertake the heavy task of attacking the Northeast, would the Emperor of Middle-earth weigh the pros and cons and agree to it? The answer is obvious.

Seeing Shi Shu Huxi's gloomy face and not saying a word, Ashina held back his anger and asked in a cold voice, "How likely do you think this inference is from Bitler?" ”

"As long as the facts haven't come out yet, anything is possible." Shi Shu Hu Xi also replied coldly, "The top priority is to mobilize the main force to return to the Lightning Plain overnight, and chase and intercept it at all costs, as long as the knife is killed, this possibility will never exist." ”
