Among the many secrets provided by Li Zixiong, Duan Da and Feng Deyi confirmed some speculations.

There is indeed cooperation between the King of Qi and the white-haired thief, but so far the King of Qi has not been able to control the white-haired thief, but the white-haired thief has successfully used the King of Qi, and the trust between the two sides is very limited; King Qi did not participate in Yang Xuangan's mutiny, but King Qi did hear about the mutiny conspiracy before, and had a premonition that he might be involved in this conspiracy, so in order to save himself, he had to take precautions and make arrangements in advance, which is the origin of his "plan to go north".

The confirmation of these speculations is in favor of the King of Qi, which can prove that the King of Qi is absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, although the King of Qi is not willing to accept his political defeat and is dying, he has not lost his mind, and has not sought personal interests at the expense of the Holy Lord and Guozuo, on the contrary, he does not hesitate to protect the interests of Middle-earth at the expense of himself, to save his political life, which shows that the King of Qi has not been blinded by the desire for power, has not embarked on the hopeless evil road, and he is still using the right way to realize his dream of imperial unity, Even if it is in vain, it can win the respect of the opponent and win a glimmer of life for itself.

There are also some confidential verified results, but Duan Da and Feng Deyi were unexpected, and they had to rethink their countermeasures.

The strength of the white-haired thieves far exceeded their expectations, and it was already a scourge that could not be eliminated, and the cost of killing by force alone was too great, and it was very likely that both sides would lose, and the gains outweighed the losses, so we must start from the overall situation and give priority to the best of both worlds; The white-haired thief's strategy is equally amazing, he is very familiar with the general situation at home and abroad, and he also has his own unique views on the future development trend, and he even alarmistly predicted that the Great War of the North and the South would break out within two years, which is the reason why he offered the King of Qi a "plan to go north".

The strategy of the king of Qi to go north to the border turned out to be a white-haired thief? How is this possible? But Li Zixiong's words are conclusive, with his identity, it is impossible to deceive, and besides, such a "elevation" of the white-haired thief will definitely do more harm than good, once the white-haired thief becomes the target of the public, there is no benefit to King Qi.

In that case, why did Li Zixiong reveal this secret? What is the purpose?

Duan Da believed that Li Zixiong did it on purpose, to confuse the public, and to deliberately "cover" the King of Qi in order to reduce the "threat" of the King of Qi, so as to paralyze the Holy Lord and the Center, and help the King of Qi to go north to fight the border As for the white-haired thief, with his strength, he can survive even if he becomes the target of public criticism, so that he can turn disadvantages into advantages, which can not only force the Holy Lord and the Center to make a certain degree of compromise, but also win better cooperation with the King of Qi in the future. In other words, it is to "make the white-haired thief bigger", and then use the power of the white-haired thief to coerce him Duan Da and force Duan Da to cooperate, after all, "cooperation" is far better than "tacit understanding", which is more conducive to the development and growth of the white-haired thief in Yanbei.

Duan Da thought about Li Zixiong's purpose from his own standpoint, and of course he would come to this conclusion, while Feng Deyi's position was higher, and he could see farther, so of course his thinking was more complicated.

Feng Deyi immediately thought of a possibility, and this possibility had already been guessed when Youyan Haojia provided him with confidential information, and he felt that it was too absurd and bizarre at the time, and he didn't think about it in depth at all, just made a temptation, and now he thinks about it again, although he still feels absurd and bizarre, he can't help but think about it in depth, so as not to make wrong judgments and make wrong decisions.

The white-haired thief "turned out" is a suspense in itself, and a thief who not only understands the general trend at home and abroad, but also can accurately predict the future trend, and can also make decisions that are suitable for it and can benefit greatly from this prediction, which is incredible. This is simply impossible, unless he is an immortal in the heavens and earth, but he is not an immortal, so there is only one possibility left, there is a big man with "hands and eyes to the sky" behind him, and this big man who meets the requirements can only be a member of the central core decision-making level.

In the current core layer of the center, only Pei Shiju is familiar with the general trend of China and foreign countries and has amazing strategies.

If the white-haired thief is behind Pei Shiju, and the white-haired thief is a chess piece in Pei Shiju's hand, then it is natural that he can come up with a "plan to go north", but what is puzzling is that if the white-haired thief is really Pei Shiju, the white-haired thief suddenly returned to China from the border and turned from a desert horse thief to a Qilu anti-thief, what is the explanation?

There is no doubt that Pei Shiju could never send people to raise the banner of rebellion in China before the Eastern Crusade; Secondly, it was absolutely impossible for Pei Shiju to know that Yang Xuangan would raise troops to rebel at the critical moment of the Second Eastern Crusade, otherwise the situation at home and abroad would not have developed to such a bad state, which is also undoubted.

Feng Deyi had a strong premonition that his previous guess was right.

The reason why the white-haired thief, Li Baiyao, King Qi and the wealthy families of Hebei can come together, cooperate tacitly, and come up with a "plan to go north" and implement it together, there must be a "secret" that is accepted and recognized by them. Although the goal of King Qi and the goal of the wealthy families in Hebei are both political "comeback", there are common interests and a basis for cooperation, but behind King Qi is the Guanlong people, which directly determines that there can be no trust between the two sides, and there can be no real cooperation, so what brought them together? Is it because of the white-haired thief? Of course not, but if the white-haired thief is behind Pei Shiju, or if both of them believe that the white-haired thief is behind Pei Shiju, then this question has an answer.

Thinking of Pei Shiju's previous reply to himself, he didn't mention the white-haired thief at all, as if he hadn't made a temptation at all, and he had already affirmed it at that time, but now that he thinks about it, should Pei Shiju's silence have a deeper understanding? Or, on behalf of some kind of implication?

"Ming Gong, even if Li Zixiong exaggerated, but from the analysis of the current battle situation, since the white-haired thief can divide his troops into three ways and cause chaos at the same time, it shows that his strength should not be underestimated." Duan Da frowned deeply, and said worriedly, "This is a double-edged knife, it can not only kill people, but also hurt oneself, if it loses control, it will inevitably harm the northern frontier, and even cause a major war between the north and the south in advance." ”

Feng Deyi shook his hand disapprovingly, "You saw Li Zixiong, not the white-haired thief, you should think about the deep meaning contained in this." ”

Duan Da groaned for a moment and shook his head, "The thieves under the white-haired thief's account are all from the north and south of the river, based on this alone, Li Zixiong will not be able to control this rebel army in the short term, and Li Zixiong's account is not monolithic, even if Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yu Rou and other Jiangzuo people are facing the danger of life and death, I am afraid they will not obey Li Zixiong's words." ”

Feng Deyi smiled slightly, "The person you are cooperating with is Li Zixiong, not the white-haired thief, isn't this difficult to understand?" ”

Duan Da was thoughtful, and then suddenly he was stunned. Since the object of cooperation is Li Zixiong, the white-haired thief is the enemy, and in the next encirclement and suppression, of course, he will stare at the white-haired thief and chase after him. The white-haired thief was beaten, scarred, and suffered heavy losses, his strength would decline, and his thieves would turn away from morality or even turn their backs, which was actually to help Li Zixiong control this rebel army. When Li Zixiong completely controls this rebel army, the cooperation between the two sides will be smooth, and when the time comes, the Holy Lord will issue an edict to recruit peace, so that he can not only kill people with a knife, but also make a profit, why not?

"Ming Gong, this matter should be sooner rather than later, it is best to play the Holy Lord in a hurry, so as not to have any more accidents due to twists and turns."

Duan Da took the initiative to make a suggestion. He is now a local governor, far away from the center, this kind of confidential, sensitive and widely involved matter, by him alone to play ten ** accidents, once the political enemy grasps the handle, reverse black and white impeachment, he will be in trouble, so with the help of Feng Deyi's power, it is safest to go through a convenient "back door".

Duan Da despised the white-haired thief excessively before, and the basis of the plan to kill people with a knife was only based on a certain degree of tacit understanding with the white-haired thief, that is to say, the white-haired thief was the knife in his hand, he took the initiative, he controlled it, he used it if he wanted to, and destroyed it if he didn't want to use it. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he was passive, and he was caught by the white-haired thief "The key point", the reason is that the white-haired thief's strength is stronger than him, and if it continues to develop like this, who is the "knife"? Who is this knife killing?

Duan Da confidently boasted about Haikou in front of the Holy Lord, and now he saw that he couldn't cash it out, so he was in a hurry, but fortunately, Feng Deyi arrived in time and relieved his urgent need. He can take advantage of Li Zixiong's appearance, throw this "hot potato" to Feng Deyi, and hand over the problem to the Holy Lord and the center to deal with, and then he will become a simple "executor", so that the burden on his shoulders will be lighter, although the execution is still a murder plan with a knife, but it is the Holy Lord and the center who control this "knife", and the results will be good in the future, he has a credit, on the contrary, he does not have much responsibility.

Feng Deyi knew at a glance about Duan Da's careful thinking, but he had no intention of thinking about it, and he could understand it, after all, this matter not only involved the dispute between the King of Qi and the imperial unification, but also involved Li Zixiong, a meritorious veteran, and dozens of nobles and bureaucrats belonging to different political groups such as Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Yang Gongdao, etc., plus the strength of the white-haired thief far exceeded everyone's expectations, all these factors are intertwined and directly affect the future trend of China and foreign countries, so Duan Da's plan to kill people with a knife can still be implemented, but the basis of the implementation has changed, the content has also expanded, and the results produced are completely different, this plan is not the other, Duan Da really does not have the ability to implement this strategy alone, and the next step should be a bigger game of chess by the Holy Lord and the center.

Feng Deyi bowed slightly, agreeing with Duan Da's suggestion, but he became more and more curious about the white-haired thief, and wanted to further verify his guess, wondering why Pei Shiju was silent about his temptation? What is Bae Seju's true intention?

"You just said that you asked Lu Junxian to find out the truth of the rebels, but there was a result?"

Duan Da glanced at Feng Deyi, shook his head, and then asked with a pun, "Did Duke Ming summon him and ask in person?" ”
