Chapter 676: Can the King Make a Decision?
August 14, late at night, outside Qingyuan City, Hejian County, King Qi camped. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info//
Qingyuan City is located in the northwest direction of Hejian County, northeast and more than ten miles is Shanggu County, and then more than 100 miles is the Juma River, on the contrary, the southwest is dozens of miles away is Boling County, and another 150 miles is Xianyu City, the capital of Boling County. After the king of Qi stabilized the situation in Gaoyang, he was ordered to go north to suppress the thieves, and led his army to Qingyuan City first, waiting for news from Wei Fusi.
When the situation was still unclear, the king of Qi did not dare to blindly follow the edict and recklessly ran to Shanggu to suppress the thieves. Li Fengyun's army is at the confluence of Laishui, Yishui and Juma Rivers, which is only more than 300 miles away from Linshuo Palace, and is close to the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace.
However, it is precisely because it is under the noses of the Holy Lord and the center, if the King of Qi is stagnant and does not go to the valley to suppress the thieves, he will be suspected of resisting the decree, once the battle situation suddenly changes, it angers the Holy Lord, and the consequences are worrying, so the King of Qi is anxious and sleepless. Just when he was hesitating whether to send Li Baiyao's secret to Shanggu to inquire about the news, or to send a Xuanfeng army into Shanggu first to perfunctory the Holy Lord, Wei Fusi galloped back, so that King Qi's nervous mood was finally relieved.
Wei Fusi galloped all the way, and his face was discouraged, his physical strength was exhausted, he was exhausted, and he could not stand after dismounting, so he had to be supported by the guards.
This "posture" made Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao, who greeted each other at the gate, look at each other, and a sense of foreboding arose. King Qi came out of the tent to greet him, seeing Wei Fusi's crumbling and unsustainable appearance, the smile on his face suddenly froze, Wei Fusi was so anxious, it can be seen that the situation on the other side of Shanggu is far more complicated than what appears on the surface.
After entering the handsome tent and taking a few breaths, Wei Fusi gave a detailed account of the trip to Shanggu, and told the story in detail, lest King Qi, Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao be misread and misjudged because of their own negligence.
After Wei Fusi finished speaking, he left temporarily and went to the side tent to freshen up and eat. What he said was too much and too complicated, King Qi, Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao all needed time to "digest and absorb", Wei Fusi estimated that when he turned back, none of the three people could "wake up" from deep thinking.
The situation changed too quickly, and King Qi, Li Shanheng, and Li Baiyao all had a sense of dazzle, surprise, and panic. Li Fengyun is still in the upper valley, and the alliance's selection of the front army has just arrived at the Sanggan River, and the first stage of the northward plan has not yet been completed, and suddenly the strategy of going east in and out of the fortress was born, and looking back and thinking about it carefully, this strategy of entering and exiting the east seems to have been in place for a long time, but it has been hidden behind Li Fengyun's plan to go north and deceived everyone, otherwise how to explain that the secret of "Song Zixian's conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord" was the first to be leaked by Li Fengyun?
There is a plan in the plan, and there is a game in the game, to what extent is this Li Fengyun demonic?
However, the problem now is not how Li Fengyun leads them by the nose and how to play with them in the palm of his hand, but Li Fengyun seems to be out of control, which can be seen from the fact that Pei Shiju's father and son resolutely went west, but is this really the case? If Li Fengyun is out of control, Pei Shiju's layout is difficult to complete, how can he take the initiative to recommend King Qi to the border? Offering to appease the rebels? Actively trapping yourself in a political crisis? More importantly, if Li Fengyun gets out of control, how can Li Fengyun risk the annihilation of the entire army, enter and exit the east, recover Anzhou, and reverse the predicament of the northern Xinjiang town?
King Qi raised his own questions.
It is a matter of life and future achievements, even if he can't fully control the development of the situation and can't completely decide his fate, at least he must figure out what Li Fengyun's purpose is? What goal does Pei Shiju want to achieve? What is the position and attitude of the Holy Lord and the Center in this matter?
After analysis and deduction, Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao came to the conclusion that the implementation of the strategy of entering and exiting the Cypriots from the east had three results: one was a complete failure, and Li Fengyun's entire army was annihilated, but to a certain extent, the situation outside the Cypriot region was confused, which was beneficial to China and Turkey in the short term, but in the long run, it would do more harm than good, and the North-South relations might break down in advance; One is that Li Fengyun recovered Anzhou, but the snipe and clam competed, and the fisherman profited, and when Li Fengyun and the captives outside the Saiwai were both defeated, they suddenly sent troops and easily picked this ripe "peach", and finally the praying mantis caught the cicada, and the yellow finch was behind, and the holy lord and the center had the last laugh, which was beneficial to Middle-earth; Another result is that Li Fengyun created a miracle, conquered the Xi, Xi, and Khitan tribes, and occupied Anzhou, and the Turks and Middle-earth because they would make the other party benefit from fighting with Li Fengyun, which affected each other's chances of winning the Great War between the North and the South, and finally cheapened Li Fengyun in vain, and Li Fengyun once again took the initiative and exchanged Anzhou for the political interests he needed. Wait until the victory of the Great War is over, and then settle accounts after the autumn, and this result will be even more beneficial to Middle-earth.
Based on the above three results, it can be inferred that Li Fengyun's purpose is definitely not the king of the Northeast, this interest is too small, he will not be satisfied with being a small tyrant, so his purpose must be to worship the prime minister, shade the descendants, and live through the ages, and to achieve this goal, the most realistic way for him is that first of all, he wants to develop his own strength, and secondly, he wants to use his strong strength to assist the king of Qi to seize the imperial unity, otherwise, he has no other good way, as for the hegemony and the world, the premise is that the country collapses and the chaos in Middle-earth, And this is obviously impossible, a fantasy thing.
Pei Shiju's goal is relatively simple, he is already a very popular minister, for him what he has to do now is to find ways to protect his vested interests, for this he must assist the Holy Lord to win the Civil War, once the war is lost, Middle-earth will certainly suffer heavy losses, and Pei Shiju's career is also over, if he doesn't do it well, his reputation will be wasted, after all, as the formulator and implementer of the grand strategy of national defense and diplomacy in China, Pei Shiju must bear the responsibility for the defeat of the war. It can be inferred from this that the general layout with Li Fengyun and King Qi as chess pieces should be Pei Shiju's preparations for the Civil War, that is to say, he must hope that the strategy of entering and exiting the fortress from the east can achieve the final result, so that he can use Li Fengyun and Anzhou, the two important "chess pieces", to control the overall situation, and can effectively cooperate with the Holy Lord and the center to win the Civil War with all their national strength.
Therefore, the attitude of the Holy Lord and the Center is clear at a glance, since it is beneficial to Middle-earth, it is helpful to consolidate and strengthen the central authority, and it can increase the chances of winning the Civil War, of course, they must support it, but considering that they still need to maintain North-South relations in the current situation to gain more time to prepare for war, they will definitely not openly support it, but on the contrary, they will openly condemn and attack, while privately acquiescing and conniving at it, and even secretly giving limited support, however, the Holy Lord and the Center have a bottom line and cannot raise tigers for trouble, So they want a second result.
This is a variable, and how this variable develops, who is the last yellow bird, but it depends on the general trend of China and foreign countries at that time, if the Civil War is about to break out, this variable will be beneficial to Li Fengyun, on the contrary, if the desert Beiyu in order to eradicate the hidden danger of Li Fengyun, provoke a fight between Li Fengyun and Middle Earth, and even use the concession of interests as a condition to attack Li Fengyun with Middle Earth, then this variable is not only unfavorable to Li Fengyun, unfavorable to the king of Qi, not good for Middle Earth, and even will affect the outcome of the Civil War.
King Qi is worried, what he is most worried about is this variable, although Pei Shiju, who is now hidden behind Li Fengyun, has "appeared", and it has been confirmed that everyone's speculation about Li Fengyun's true strength is correct, but because of this, it can better illustrate the severity of the situation, whether it is at home and abroad or in the central region, the game is very fierce, otherwise Pei Shiju will never be able to show his "true body" before Li Fengyun has just arrived in Yanbei, and before he is about to go west, he can't wait to reveal his "true body", This is very detrimental to both Pei Shiju himself and Li Fengyun, what does this mean? It shows that the situation is getting out of control, and everyone wants to control the overall situation, but everyone is restrained and constrained by all kinds of complicated factors, and in the end no one can control the overall situation, which is dangerous.
Just when King Qi was worried that the final "chicken flying egg fight" would be useless and hesitated, Wei Fusi walked into the handsome tent and asked, "Does the king have a decision?" ”
King Qi voiced his worries.
Wei Fusi frowned slightly, and sighed secretly, "The matter has come to this, is there still a way for the king to retreat?" ”
King Qi was speechless.
Since there is no way back, only to move forward, what is the point of these worries? If the king does not make a decision, what can he change? Taking a step back, what if Li Fengyun is defeated? Could it be that the king gave up, disarmed and surrendered, tied his hands, and let him be slaughtered? ”
King Qi was silent.
Wei Fusi was indignant and wanted to speak out, but was dissuaded by Li Shanheng with a wave of his hand, "What if the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan break their promises at a critical moment?" The king's cooperation with them is a cooperation of interests, and there is no means to coerce them. ”
Wei Fusi hesitated for a moment and said, "Feng Deyi, the person from the Inner Historian, is in the Juma River. ”
Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao glanced at each other and realized something. Li Baiyao asked, "What is Dangyanggong's guess?" ”
"The key to this matter is still in the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center, as long as the Holy Lord and the center secretly support it, and Duan Da vigorously promotes, then the wealthy families in Northern Hebei and Youyan will definitely not violate the holy will." Wei Fusi glanced at King Qi when he said this, and said slowly, "The Great King's troops entered Boling, far away from the Upper Valley, cautious and fearful, which will inevitably cause anxiety among the Holy Lord and the center, worried that the Great King will not be able to cooperate tacitly, so if nothing else, Feng Deyi may come." As soon as Feng Deyi came, the overall situation had been decided, and the king was powerless to shirk the blame, so he had to go north. ”
"It's not that Lone doesn't want to go north." King Qi sighed, "It's just that the situation has changed too quickly, and Gu is not ready to go north, let alone face the Turks head-on on the front line of the Great Wall." ”
Wei Fusi understood as soon as he heard this, and immediately stretched his brows, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The opportunity is rare, if Feng Deyi comes, and the Holy Lord and the Central Hub do have the intention of secretly pushing Li Fengyun out of the fortress to fight, then the king can take the opportunity to put forward some conditions, such as asking Shun Zhenggong (Dong Chun) to go north to assist." ”
King Qi bowed slightly, "Order all armies to fight in Boling tomorrow to kill thieves." ”
