In the twilight, Li Zixiong invited Li Hun to a banquet, and the focus of the conversation was cooperation.

The two have the same disease, although one is in the grass, the other is in the temple, but the future is very likely to be the same way, Li Zixiong's today may be Li Hun's tomorrow, now Li Zixiong is dying, and Li Hun is walking on the road to the end, so cooperation is inevitable, and the key to cooperation lies in the return of Anzhou and the Northeast. The greater the benefit of returning, the more helpful it will be for the future of the two.

When Li Zixiong received the news that Yu Wenshu went to Gubeikou in person, Li Hun also received the same news, and his subordinates who stayed in Gubeikou also sent this important news to Li Hun through Yang Gongdao of Panlong Fort in accordance with the prior agreement.

On the one hand, it proves that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee are bound to win Anzhou and the Northeast, and they have spared no cost for this, but on the other hand, it also shows that the domestic political situation has deteriorated, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Holy Lord and the Central Central, so we have to seize the "life-saving straw" of the martial arts to reverse the crisis. Li Zixiong and Li Hun, as representatives of the Longxi military meritorious aristocratic group, know the inside story of the central high-level well, so what they are concerned about is not the change in the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center, but why the change?

"Something may have happened to Xijing." Li Zixiong cautiously guessed, "In the name of liquidating Yang Xuangan's sympathy, Dongdu launched a killing ring in Liangjing, sparing no effort to eliminate dissidents, while Xijing will never be tied up and let it be slaughtered, and it will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack." Once a rebellion broke out in Guanzhong, the two capitals fought a big fight, which not only posed a serious threat to the security of the western Xinjiang, but also dealt another heavy blow to the authority of the eastern capital. ”

Li Hun nodded again and again, agreeing with Li Zixiong's analysis and judgment, "The reason why Yang Xuangan's mutiny failed, Xijing's choice at a critical moment is very important, if Yang Xuangan is not intended to usurp the country, but decisively reaches a compromise with Xijing on the matter of imperial unification, and wins Xijing's alliance and cooperation, then the eastern capital will inevitably fall, the civil war will inevitably explode, and the emperor will be defeated by Maicheng, but Yang Xuangan is too ambitious, and he is proud and conceited, misjudged the situation, made wrong decisions, and turned against Xijing, and finally failed. Therefore, the crisis in the eastern capital was resolved safely, Xijing made great contributions, and the two capitals could have taken this opportunity to ease the contradictions, but the cruel facts shattered Xijing's illusions and forced Xijing to fight back, but the opportunity has been lost, and the brazen counterattack in the passive situation is difficult to achieve effective results. ”

Li Hun said with a pun, Li Zi ambitiously understood, stroked his beard and smiled, "You seem to be very pessimistic about the situation in Liangjing. ”

"Could it be that Ming Gong is still optimistic?" Li Hun asked rhetorically.

Li Zixiong shook his head, his eyes were worried, "If Xijing breaks with the eastern capital, and Guanzhong falls into chaos, it will inevitably seriously affect the security of the western frontier, and at that time, the Northwest Army will not say that it will counterattack the West Sea and re-enter Loulan, I am afraid that Longxi will be more embarrassed, and it will be helpless in the face of the intrusion of Achailu (Tuyuhun), and Hexi is even more passive, not to mention going deep into the Western Regions to compete and fight with the Western Turks, I am afraid that in the end, even Yiwu will have to be handed over, and finally blocked by the Western Turks in Dunhuang and helpless." ”

Li Hun thought for a moment and said, "A certain pair of Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) has great hopes for this westward journey, and also has a great chance of winning the Civil War, but if the two capitals are opposed, the western Xinjiang is turbulent, and the Northwest Army has to be trapped in Longyou's passive defense, which will inevitably have a significant impact on the situation of the entire western soil, and the results of Wen Xigong's westward journey this time are very likely to be instantly turned into nothing, and the east-west sandwich desert may eventually evolve into two Turkic sandwiches hitting the Middle Earth, so that the two fronts of the Middle and Turkish battles will lose their advantages. In all likelihood, the Civil War ended in defeat. ”

Li Zixiong's expression was solemn and silent, and he looked at Li Hun with four eyes, and the two of them invariably thought of Li Fengyun, Li Fengyun's pessimistic prediction of the Civil War, and Li Fengyun's worry that Middle-earth would fall into division and war again.

Could it be that the general trend of the world, as Li Fengyun predicted, is moving in a direction that is not conducive to Middle-earth?

"This autumn, when we went north to Youyan, Li Pingyuan predicted that the Great War between the North and the South would explode within two years." Li Zixiong said quietly, "Now calculate the time, if his prediction is correct, then there is only one and a half years left before the outbreak of the Great War between the North and the South." ”

"Ming Gong believes Li Pingyuan's prediction?" Li Hun laughed and asked.

"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, why do you want to leave the Eastern Capital and go to the Northern Frontier? Li Zixiong pointed at Li Hun to stop his rebuttal, "Don't say that you can't help yourself, you are burdened by the King of Qi, and forced by the emperor, if you want to stay in the Eastern Capital, or return to the Northwest Army, you have countless ways, even the emperor is difficult to stop." ”

"It is true that there is a way to stay in the Eastern Capital or return to the Northwest Army, but this will not help solve the danger of the destruction of my Chengji Li clan, on the contrary, being in a central place or in a deep danger may make my Chengji Li clan die faster." Li Hun sighed, "The bird is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, although I Chengji Li did not fall in the hands of the first emperor, but after all, it is still difficult to escape the pursuit of today, in order to save my Chengji Li family, I can only fight in danger and survive in death." ”

Li Zixiong nodded again and again, deeply agreed.

The centralized reform, first of all, the institutional reform, is to completely destroy the system of the gate lord clan, and the object of its containment and attack is not only the hairpin family inherited by scriptures, but also the emerging new aristocracy that rises with military merits, and these new nobles are mainly concentrated in the Guanlong aristocratic group, which is the vested interest group of the unified dynasty, and they are also the solid "fortress" that the centralized reform needs to overcome. And Longxi Chengji Li refused to stand in line as early as when the Holy Lord fought for the imperial unity, fortunately, the "rudder" was timely, and did not offend the Holy Lord to the death, but the crisis has come, the seeds of destruction have been planted, and they have avoided eleven but not fifteen, and they must take precautions to actively save themselves, especially after the Holy Lord carried out a drastic centralized reform, Longxi Chengji Li decisively "shot", the most important countermeasure is to take the initiative to intervene in the battle of the new generation of imperial unity, in order to base on the future, who expected that Yang Hui, the king of Qi, is a bottomless "pit", Longxi Chengji Li family fell into a thousand years of hatred, completely offended the Holy Lord, and now there is only one way to fight to the death.

"Since you are here, since you believe in Li Pingyuan's prediction, then under the current situation, the exhibition on Anton's side is very important, otherwise in a year and a half, even if the Great War between the North and the South breaks out, even if Middle-earth is in danger under the attack of the two Turks in the east and west, we will be powerless to help, and we can only watch the great opportunity pass by."

Li Zixiong's words were very sincere, but Li Hun scoffed, "If Li Pingyuan's prediction is completely correct, and the Great War between the North and the South broke out in a year and a half, then with only the small land of Andong, even if Li Pingyuan has three heads and six arms, even if the Donghu tribes respect him as if he were a god and obey his words, even if the Great Wall gives enough support, what will it take a year and a half?" What's more, Li Pingyuan does not have three heads and six arms, and the Donghu species are also unruly and capricious, and the emperor will never give Anton full support in order to prevent the tiger from causing trouble, at most to feed Anton and let Anton honestly defend the border. Therefore, Li Pingyuan's idea is wrong, not only can the king of Qi not give up, but also take advantage of the great opportunity of this return to coerce the emperor to grant the king of Qi more power, if the king of Qi can be in charge of the military and politics of northern Xinjiang, and assume the important task of northern defense, it is the most ideal. Qi Wang Zhan has grown, Anton will rise to the top, and will also expand, so that the two sides can work together to accumulate enough strength in the next year and a half to make a difference in the Great War between the North and the South, otherwise, each fighting for its own benefit, not only can not be shown, but also give the opponent a chance to break through, as for the Great War between the North and the South, it is even more out of reach, don't think about it, even if you participate? Just send to death. ”

Li Zixiong sighed, "The opportunity has been given to him, and it has even been sent to him, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, what do you let us do?" ”

Li Hun shook his hand and said solemnly, "Ming Gong, you and I both know that if we want to change our fate, the only chance at present is the Great War between the North and the South, and only by winning the Great War between the North and the South, can we go one step further and participate in the Great War of Imperial Unification to seek future interests, but whether it is the Great War of the North and the South, or the Great War of Imperial Unification, King Qi is an indispensable key figure, only he can play a decisive role at the critical moment, as for others, whether it is you and me or Li Pingyuan, they can't do this, so, It doesn't matter what the King of Qi does, it matters what we do, what the King of Qi is unwilling, cannot, and dare not do, we can do, coerce the King of Qi and go on the Northern Expedition, coerce the King of Qi to fight for the emperor's unification, and even coerce the King of Qi to seize the world, everything is possible. ”

Li Zixiong glanced at him, his eyes showed a warning look, "You must not despise Li Pingyuan, it's okay to hold King Qi hostage, but if you want to coerce Li Pingyuan with a fait accompli, the consequences are worrying." ”

Li Hun disagreed, "What are you worried about?" Worried about Wen Xigong, or worried about Shandong Dahe? ”

Li Zixiong was very calm and rational, and he was not deceived by the arrogant Li Hun at all, he stroked his long beard and said lightly, "I am not only worried about Wen Xigong, but also worried about Shandong Dawang." ”

Li Hun frowned slightly and asked, "What's the explanation?" ”

"Whether it is Wen Xigong or the Shandong lord, his strategy is outstanding, and his power is huge, which is far beyond our imagination." Li Zixiong Zhengse said, "If Li Pingyuan is just an executor and a chess piece, then, when the situation changes dramatically, when Li Pingyuan is no longer able to control the situation, the forces behind him will inevitably come to the forefront, so that Li Pingyuan can still decide his own fate?" Can you continue to do whatever you want as a white thief or a white wolf? ”

Li Hun immediately thought of a possibility, "Are you saying that if Wen Xigong, or the Shandong Grand Valve, reaches a compromise with the emperor, Li Pingyuan will see the light of day again?" ”

Li Zixiong bowed slightly, "If Li Pingyuan sees the light of day again, the situation will change, they will work together, and we and the King of Qi are completely isolated, and Li Pingyuan alone can kill us." ”

Li Hun was secretly shocked, meditated hard, weighed it repeatedly, and finally said with difficulty, "Just follow Ming Gong's plan." ”

"Good!" Li Zixiong stretched out a hand, "High-five as an oath." ”
