Silence is in fact a disguised form of support, and the silence of too many forces has made the outcome of this debate gradually clear.

Xijing's remaining guard Wen Sheng came from a family in the Central Plains, he represented the interests of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and was also a powerful figure in Xijing, and he did not hesitate to support Yuan Chong's opinion at the critical moment, which made the debate show a one-sided trend.

Acting Wang Yang Yu has the final decision-making power. Shi Weijie, the governor of the palace who represented him, saw that the shape of the shì had become clear, and with the arrival of Wei Jin, many invisible things in the past gradually surfaced, and the shape of the eastern capital gradually became clear with the soldiers of Yang Nan, the king of Qi, and the trend gradually became clear, and the difficulty of evolving this military coup into a great battle for the emperor was becoming more and more difficult, so Wei Jie immediately made a decision on behalf of the acting king Yang Yu to make the final decision, as long as the eastern capital made a request to Xijing to "send troops", then Xijing must send troops to the east to support the eastern capital.

The next question is "when to send troops", and the question is more divisive and more bitterly contested. Of course, "whether to send troops" is decided by the central government, and the Weifu can be excluded, but "when to send troops" must be decided by the Weifu, and the Weifu has a very heavy right to speak.

In the Northwest Army and even the Xijing Garrison, the Northwest people are the absolute main force, and the Northwest family has unrivaled influence in the Northwest military. Among the senior military commanders who participated in the Shangshu Provincial Deliberations today, the commander of the Xijing Garrison Army, the Right Wuwei General Huangfu Wuyi, the commander of the Xijing Janissary Army, the Jianmen Zhige General Pang Yu, the Northwest Army's Right Imperial Guard General Li Renzheng, who was in charge of the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi, and Huining, and the Wu Benlang General Ling Hu Derun of the Northwest Army, who was in charge of the two counties of Beidi and Anding, all came from the Northwest family. The remaining commander of the Xijing garrison, Liu Wujian, the general of the Youtun Guard, was from a wealthy family in Hedong, and Dugu Wudu, the commander of the Jingfu Garrison, was from a wealthy family surnamed Yu.

Of the six military commanders, four are from the Northwest Family, so it is not difficult to see the weight of the Northwest Family's voice in this decision.

The Northwest family includes a wealthy family like the Li family in Longxi that has been inherited for thousands of years, and its essence is to rise with military merits and continue with meritorious deeds, to put it bluntly, they are all martial artists, and those wealthy families who have been inherited by scriptures for generations look down on martial artists at all, in the eyes of the literati, they are a brainless warrior, and the scholars in Shandong and Jiangzuo especially look down on the Northwest martial artists, thinking that the Northwest martial artists are a group of vulgar barbarians, no different from the northern captives who drink blood on the desert. But the way of heaven is ruthless, more than 400 years after the division of Middle-earth, it is this group of northwestern horsemen who dominate the world, ending the division and war of Middle-earth, which makes the proud and arrogant Shandong and Jiangzuoshi clan embarrassed?

On the one hand, there is cultural integrity, nobility and pride, and on the other hand, there is defeat, trampling and shame on the battlefield, this diametrically opposed cruel fact Yan zhòng distorted the hearts of the scholars, making them "revenge" again and again with unprecedented persistence in their mouths and pens, in order to find the pleasure of "victory" to satisfy their illusory arrogance. As a result, although the great cause of the reunification of China and Earth is brilliant, and although it has "made great strides" at the land, political and cultural levels, behind the glamour, the spiritual division is getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual rift is not only not healing, but is getting deeper and deeper.

This is the root of the contradiction between the Guanlong people and the Shandong and Jiangzuo people, tracing back to the source, it is still the contradiction between the scholars and the warriors, and the contradiction between the scholars and the warriors has existed since the beginning of historical records, and the same is true in today's Guanlong. In the eyes of Shandong and Jiangzuo scholars, the Guanlong people are a group of barbarians, the Guanzhong Wei family is a local small noble, and it is a "wealthy family" that is not worthy of the name, and in the eyes of the Guanzhong family, the Northwest people are a group of brainless horsemen, and the Longxi Li family is a fake wealthy family that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep. This is the root cause of the contradiction between the Guanzhong people and the people in the northwest.

In this decision, the Northwest family is in a dilemma.

From the perspective of the situation in the northwest and the interests of the people in the northwest, Xijing should devote more energy, troops, and financial resources to the northwest battlefield, and at any cost the victory of the Holy Lord through the western frontier, that is, to defend the four border counties of Heyuan, Xihai, Jimo, and Shanshan opened up by the Tongguò Western Expedition. It was a vast territory, although desolate, but its strategic location was too important, and it could directly extend the "tentacles" of Middle-earth to the hinterland of the Western Regions and extend to the west of the Green Mountains, which was not only conducive to the defense of Middle-earth, but also to the development of Middle-earth.

However, since the Holy Lord decided to go eastward, the eastern capital's investment in the western frontier has decreased sharply, which has directly led to a sharp decline in the situation in the western frontier, especially since the first eastern crusade last year, the Tuyuhun people have launched a counteroffensive with the support of the Western Turks and some Western Regions kingdoms, so far, the Northwest Army has lost control of the two counties of Jimo and Shanshan in the Western Regions, and the Northwest Army is also losing and retreating in the Western Sea battlefield. If the Northwest Army does not regain the lost territory before the heavy snow comes, then after the beginning of spring next year, after the Tuyuhun people successfully restore the country, the Northwest Army will want to counterattack, and the price paid will be incalculable.

In terms of the interests of western Xinjiang, the people of the northwest and Guanzhong are staggered and overlapping. Before the reunification of China and Turkey, there were many places where the interests of the two sides were the same, and the cooperation was very pleasant, of course, there were many contradictions and conflicts, and the "cake" was only so big, and it was certainly not enough for everyone to want to eat more. After reunification, the "cake" became bigger, and the Guanzhong people's attention to the interests of the western Xinjiang was greatly reduced, and the consistency of interests with the people in the northwest was smaller, and it stands to reason that the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides should also be reduced, but on the contrary, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides have increased, and the reason is the relocation of the capital.

The relocation of the capital has made the "cake" of Guanlong smaller as a whole, and the loss of this "cake" has become smaller, and the loss of this "cake" is great for the people of Guanzhong, but the loss for the people of the northwest is even greater. The greater the loss, the greater the opinion, of course, the two sides should join forces to oppose it, but in order to win the support of the people in the northwest and to split the political alliance between the Guanzhong people and the people in the northwest, the Holy Lord and the reformers came up with a new grand strategy for national defense and diplomacy. This grand strategy of changing passive defense to active defense and defense to offense is in essence to open up and expand the frontier after the national strength is prosperous, and the expansion of the frontier will be of great benefit to the people of the northwest, not only can they win external interests in the process of opening up the frontier, but they can also rely on military merits to win internal interests, and they will have a bumper harvest.

As a result, the political alliance between the Northwest and the Guanzhong people broke down, and there were many contradictions and conflicts.

However, with the end of the Western Crusade and the beginning of the Eastern Crusade, the shape changed. The eastern capital is farther away from the northwest frontier, even if something happens in the western frontier and the northern captives invade, it will still be a barrier in the central region, so Luoyang, the capital of the earth, will definitely change the importance that the eastern capital attaches to the western frontier. During the period of the Western Expedition, the Eastern Capital devoted its national strength to the Western Frontier, and attached unprecedented importance to the Western Frontier, and the people of the Northwest were full of longing for the future, but with the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, especially after the first defeat of the Eastern Expedition, the adverse impact of moving the capital to Luoyang on the Northwest Zhenshu was completely exposed. This is not only a huge gap for the people of the Northwest, but also a violent impact, or the shattering of dreams and a direct loss of interests.

Before the Second Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord specially summoned the two commanders of the Northwest, Huangfu Wuyi and Linghu Derun, respectively, and one of the important purposes was to seek the support of the Northwesterners.

The people of the Northwest are also divided into factions, one faction in Hexi, one faction in Longxi, and one faction in Lingshuo. Huangfu Wuyi is a native of the Northland and belongs to the Lingshuo line. Linghu Derun is a native of Dunhuang and belongs to the Hexi system. The generals of these two factions in the Northwest Army were very close to the Holy Lord.

Hexi directly confronted the countries of the Western Regions, as well as the Eastern and Western Turks and Tiele and other northern captives, so the strength of the Hexi people is very strong, there are many military achievements, and there are many commanders of the Weifu, it is inevitable to be arrogant and domineering, difficult to restrain and difficult to win over, fortunately, Hexi is the first barrier in the western Xinjiang, far away from Xijing and Dongdu, the conditions are very difficult, and the dependence on Xijing and Dongdu is great, and sometimes they have to "compromise", such as the current right guard general Zhao Cai and Zhuojun left behind Duan Da are all Hexi commanders, and they are all supporters of the Holy Lord.

The Lingshuo faction is the weakest among the three major factions in the northwest, and it is difficult to survive if the strength is weak, of course, it is necessary to find "difficult brothers" to help, so in the Northwest Army, the Lingshuo faction has always been "working together" with the Hexi faction.

Longxi people are well-deserved "bosses" in the northwest, and they are extremely strong in both military and political circles, because of historical origins, it is not only a natural ally with the Guanzhong people, but also has a fierce competitive relationship, and the interests of the so-called Guanlong people are actually the interests of the Guanzhong Ages and the Longxi family. The people of Longxi are opposed to the Holy Lord and the reformers, and the Holy Lord can't win it over at all, so he can only turn to the Hexi people and the Lingshuo people to control a part of the Northwest Army.

But in the current situation, do the Hexi people and the Lingshuo people still resolutely support the Holy Lord? Are you still willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of the Lord?

Politically, the risk is too great. There is only one result of this storm, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a lose-lose situation, the conservatives and the reformers are both scarred, even if the Holy Lord and the reformers take control of the situation in the end, the price paid is unimaginable, the new grand strategy of national defense and foreign affairs will inevitably end in failure, the relations between the North and the South will inevitably deteriorate, the reform will be unsustainable, the national strength will inevitably decline because of this, and the people of the northwest will no longer have a vision for the future.

This is the dilemma for the people of the northwest, whether it is analyzed and deduced from the military, political, regional interests and small group interests, sending troops to the eastern capital will do more harm than good, and what is especially important is that among the six commanders who participated in the decision-making and deliberations of the military, even if Huangfu Wuyi, Linghu Derun, Pang Yu and Dugu Wudu insisted on sending troops to the eastern capital immediately, there are still two veterans, Li Renzheng and Liu Wujian, who are both veterans of the Weifu army, with outstanding merits and high morality, if they oppose it, this matter will be complicated.

As a result, Huangfu Wuyi, the general of the Right Imperial Guard, insisted on sending troops immediately, but Li Renzheng, the general of the Right Imperial Guard, and Liu Wujian, the general of the Right Tunwei, both held opposing opinions, what if the West Sea fell and the Tuyuhun people succeeded in counterattacking? What if Yuan Hongji raised troops to rebel and went south to attack Xijing? The three generals insisted on their own words, and the atmosphere was very tense, which made Wu Benlang General Ling Hu Derun, Jian Men Zhige Pang Yu, and Jingfu Duwei Dugu Wudu all keep their mouths shut, not daring to express their opinions lightly.
