readx;?“ The situation is complicated, complicated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Text" Cui Hongsheng sighed and said, "Before leaving Gubeikou, although Anzhou made some compromises and had the intention of retreating, but because the situation at home and abroad is changing too quickly and the interests of all parties are complicated, in fact, whether and when the Flying Fox rebels will leave the customs can no longer be sprinkled on Anzhou's attitude, but on the changes in the future situation." ”

Cui Yu, Cui Jiu, and Cui Xiaoren looked at each other, realizing that the situation was serious and far expected.

"My lord, is the situation in Anzhou not good?" Cui Yu asked, "Is it possible that the Turkic reinforcements have arrived, and they are about to counterattack again?" ”

Cui Hongsheng suppressed and sighed, "Bai's ambition is too big, to put it nicely, it is called indomitable and desperate, and if it is not good, it is arrogant and self-defeating." ”

"Why?" Cui Yu asked in surprise.

Cui Hongsheng did not hide it, and directly revealed the secrets of the center, "After Bai defeated the Turks, he was non-stop, galloping, and killed the weak Luoshui, and he wanted to take advantage of the favorable opportunity that the Turks could not threaten Anzhou for the time being, and concentrate on defeating the Donghu Zhuzhu and taking the entire northeast." ”

Cui Jiu and Cui Xiaoren were surprised, while Cui Yu laughed, "This is his style of acting, breaking the kettle, fighting against the water, leaving him to die and reborn, winning is a miracle, losing is death, and he has nothing, he doesn't care about losing." ”

Cui Hongsheng dragged disapprovingly, and continued, "There are two results in the northern expedition of Anzhou, if you win, your strength will increase greatly, and the momentum of secession will be achieved, and the asking price will inevitably increase, and it will be more difficult to negotiate; On the other hand, if there is no success or defeat, the conditions inside the Great Wall will be harsh, and the negotiations will be more difficult. ”

Cui Hongsheng pointed to the edict on the case, "Now that the Holy Lord has taken out this trick, it seems to have given Anzhou a safe way out, but in fact, it has greatly increased the variables, and the most critical question is, is the white thief a knife?" If the white thief is the sword, and the official and the thief are all one person, the room for maneuver is very large, and the Anton Governor's Mansion can wield its power to the limit, on the one hand, to present the martial arts of opening up the territory to the Holy Lord and the center, and on the other hand, with this merit, all the rebellious appeasement of Anzhou and the attachment of the Donghu species will be solved; On the contrary, if the white thief is not a sword, and the Andong Governor's Mansion and Anzhou are antagonistic, and the two sides do not have any trust, then even if Anzhou is willing to return to Middle-earth, its asking price is unimaginably high, and if the Holy Lord and the Central Authority bow to the rebellion and Hulu for the sake of martial arts, not only will the value of martial arts be greatly reduced, but the authority will also be hit again, so it is not difficult to foresee that the possibility of the two sides reaching an agreement is very small, and the possibility of Anzhou becoming independent or even allied with the Turks is greatly increased. ”

Whether the white thief is a knife or not, it doesn't matter if the Holy Lord and the center say it, Cui Hongsheng and Pei Shiju and other insiders don't count, only the white thief himself has the final say, if he says that he is a knife, he will first have to bear the obligations of the Anton Governor's Mansion, that is, to present the martial arts of expanding the territory to the Holy Lord and the center, and then he can enjoy the power of the Anton Governor's Mansion, that is, to appease the rebellion in Anzhou and the Donghu species, but this power is obviously limited, for example, Li Zixiong can be pardoned but cannot return to the Eastern Capital, for example, Ah Huizheng can be a minor official but not the king of Xi.

If you enter the official punishment, you must follow the rules of officialdom, you must strictly follow the law, and no one can override the law and do whatever you want, so the Anton Governor's Mansion is actually a trap, a cage, and the white thief admits that he is a knife, which is equivalent to falling into a trap, putting himself in a cage, and letting him be slaughtered.

Of course, this is still under the condition that the Holy Lord and the Center keep their promises, once the martial arts are in hand and the Northeast is in their pockets, they will immediately go back on their word, and even unload the mill to kill the donkey, rabbit and dead dog, and the white thief will work hard in vain, and they all make wedding clothes for the Holy Lord and the Center, and cry out for injustice to find a place.

Therefore, the Holy Lord and the Center openly said that the white thief is not a knife, this is tempting to be deceived, and even if the white thief is a knife, it is impossible for him to admit it, it is impossible to jump into the trap with his eyes, and the back and forth between the two sides is very intense, this is a variable, a lot of uncertain variables, and this series of variables will inevitably increase the difficulty of the Flying Fox rebels to get out.

In addition, the king of Qi "eyed" the Flying Fox rebels, once successfully appeased in the process of encirclement and suppression, not only won the battle, but also increased the strength, and even took this opportunity to seize control of the north, and the Flying Fox rebels also have different opinions, some hold on, some defect to the king of Qi, some go out, and even some go south to Yongji Canal, a plate of scattered sand.

All of these are obstacles for the Flying Fox rebels to get out, and if they want to overcome these obstacles, it is still too difficult to rely only on the strength of Cui Hongsheng, Cui's family, and even the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan.

The four members of the Cui family were worried and at a loss.

"I don't know what kind of ulcers this edict will make when it reaches Anzhou?" Choi Hyo-in said suddenly.

"This is sprinkled with changes in the situation in Anzhou, even if it is white, he will not make decisions easily until the situation in Anzhou is not clear." Cui Jiu said indifferently.

"What if he wins, and the situation in Anju is getting better and better?" Choi Hyo-in asked again.

"It's impossible to guess." Cui Jiu said without thinking, "We watched Bai come to this day step by step, although he walked on thin ice like an abyss at every step, but in the end he was the winner, we were surprised or surprised." The same thing, if you and I do it, it is estimated that we would have been defeated a long time ago, and it is best to be trapped in a corner, but Bai has already ascended to the abyss, and his scales and claws are flying. Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, we can't do it, it doesn't mean that he can't do it, so even if Bai takes the initiative to jump into this trap, a certain is not surprised, there must be a glimmer of life in danger, we can't see it, it doesn't mean that he can't see it. ”

Cui Xiaoren was thoughtful and silent.

"What's new on Flying Fox?" Choi Hongsheng asked.

"There's someone from the Flying Fox, and I've just arrived." Cui Jiu replied, "A certain has been arranged to enter the city, if Ming Gong is anxious, a certain person will go and inquire now." ”

"Someone?"

Cui Hongsheng was slightly surprised, and Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren were also surprised. Although the two sides are in contact, they are all confidential letters, so as not to cause accidents, unless there is a last resort, it is impossible to risk meeting.

Cui Jiu hurriedly explained, "This matter is related to Song Jingang, and Song Jingang is entrusted by Li Sixing, so it is inconvenient to refuse, so he has sent his cronies to contact him, and intends to report it after understanding the situation." ”

Cui Hongsheng waved his hand, "Go back, report quickly." ”

Cui Jiu hurried away. Cui Hongsheng continued to ask Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren about some relevant information. About half an hour later, Cui Jiuxingse hurried back, "Ming Gong, an important person has come." ”

Important people? Cui Hongsheng was surprised, which indicated that something big had happened to the flying fox.

Cui Jiu lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Duke Ming, the person who came is the son of Li Zixiong, the Duke of Jianchang, and the former Taishou Li Min of Lu County. ”

Sure enough, something big happened. Cui Yu was anxious and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"He's going to Anju." Cui Jiu said, "It's nearly a thousand miles to Anzhou, but Song Jingang can't catch it, and he can't guarantee his safety along the way, so in desperation, he has no choice but to expose his identity and ask my Cui for help." ”

"Why did he go to Anju?" Cui Yu asked, "Is there something wrong with the flying fox?" ”

"There's good news." Cui Jiu bowed slightly at Cui Hongsheng and said with a smile, "According to what he said, the Flying Fox has already reached an agreement on the matter of leaving the customs, and now he is rushing to Anzhou on behalf of the Flying Fox to persuade Anzhou to agree to their exit." ”

"Really?" Cui Hongsheng was overjoyed, and Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren were also pleasantly surprised.

"The reason why he revealed his identity and asked for our help is precisely because of this." Cui Jiu said, "If there is no reliance on this, and there is no certainty that we will be persuaded to help him, he will definitely not dare to reveal his identity." ”

Cui Hongsheng stroked his long hair, thought for a while, agreed with Cui Jiu's analysis, smiled even more, and a few traces of excitement welled up in his heart, and the burden of the mountain seemed to be lighter.

"It's a big deal, don't slack off, you run it yourself to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Speaking of this, Cui Hongsheng hesitated for a moment, and added, "This time, you will also go out of the customs and go to Anzhou in person, you must see Bai, and you must persuade him to withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou." ”

This is the attitude of the Boling Cui family, and it also represents the position of the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan, at the critical moment, they have to put pressure on Li Fengyun for their own interests, forcing Li Fengyun to compromise, otherwise both sides will lose, it will not be beneficial to both sides, and the benefits obtained in the early stage will be lost.

"My lord, my son is going too." Cui Yu said suddenly, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, Bai is not an ordinary person, once the two sides turn against each other, the consequences will be serious." My son went to Anzhou in person, and even if Bai was a hundred reluctant, he had to make a compromise in our favor. ”

Cui Hongsheng wanted to veto it without thinking about it, but Cui Yu's last sentence made him hesitate. If the White North Expedition fails to weaken Luoshui, the southeast Yaqi and the Songmo Yaqi attack Anzhou on both sides, tens of thousands of control strings roar down, Bai is very likely to be unable to resist, and the defeat is like a mountain, don't say that the Flying Fox rebels are out of the customs at that time, even Bai himself is difficult to preserve, so Cui Yu's sentence is critical, taking advantage of the fact that the situation has not deteriorated to the point of being out of control, if Bai can be persuaded to make a decision that is conducive to the common interests of both parties, then Anzhou is likely to hold, And Anzhou is defended, and the Flying Fox rebels can get out, which is the most basic condition.

Cui Hongsheng was suppressed and vetoed. The identity of the twelve ladies of the Cui family is prominent, the target is too big, the last time they went to Gubeikou, they were already very ostentatious, although they were secretive and hidden, but there were many ill-intentioned people, and there were too many political enemies of the Cui family, and they might be safe and sound at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, if you want to fall into the ground, the "bad deeds" of the twelve ladies of the Cui family are the best target.

Cui Yu saw that Cui Hongsheng did not shout at himself quietly, but suppressed quietly, and immediately smiled slyly, and had made a decision.

Cui Hongsheng told Cui Jiu to explain some details, and finally pointed to the edict on the case, "When you arrive in Anzhou, the Andong Governor's Mansion has been established, and the relevant content of this edict has also been transmitted to Anzhou." For most people in Anzhou, the establishment of the Anton Governor's Mansion is a clear opportunity to return to Middle-earth, and they will even look forward to the emergence of Anton Governor Li Pingyuan, but for those who know the truth, it means a crisis, and the internal contradictions in Anzhou may be fierce because of this, and Anzhou is in danger of division and defeat. ”

"Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Yang Gongdao, Lai Yuan and others are clear, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to return to Middle-earth, and under their instigation, many of Bai's reckless subordinates will also be eager to return to Middle-earth, and even Xi Lu and other Donghu species will also be eager to enter Middle-earth, so the return is the trend of the times, the direction of interests, and the reality, Anzhou can only win the Great Wall of China, in order to stand in Anzhou, in order to consolidate the existing results, in order to block the fierce counterattack of the Turks after the spring of next year."

"If Bai goes against the trend, even if Anzhou does not fall into division immediately, it will be difficult to stop the sowing of discord from the Great Wall, and the internal contradictions will become more and more serious, so even if the Great Wall continues to support the grain and grass, Bai cannot guarantee that he will defeat the counterattack of the Turks after the beginning of spring, and once defeated, the former merchant, this is a situation that he cannot accept, so, with a certain inference, no matter what Bai's true thoughts are, he will have to succumb to the general trend and return to Middle-earth due to the current situation of many crises, but sooner or later."

"However, it is impossible for Bai to jump into the trap and put himself in a cage, he must take the initiative to let himself stand outside the trap, stay away from the cage, firmly control the initiative, use Anzhou to bargain, use the Anton Governor's Mansion to make a big profit, and let himself continue to grow stronger, and the stronger Anzhou, the more benefits he can extort from Middle-earth, which is in the interests of everyone in Anzhou, and everyone is happy to see it."

"So what is Shiro's countermeasure? When will we return to Middle-earth? ”

"That's the key." Cui Hongsheng said, "I asked you to see Bai, and that's why. The later Anzhou returns, the later the Flying Fox rebels will come out of the customs, which is not beneficial to us, if you can guess his countermeasures from Bai's words, and estimate his approximate return time, you can carry out targeted persuasion, so that even if he only made a promise at the end of the year, the Flying Fox rebels will delay until the beginning of spring, and they can also win a certain amount of leeway, so that they will not be unable to move and be hit. ”

Cui Jiu agreed repeatedly, feeling the pressure.
