Chapter 684: Death Makes Will

The King of Qi entered Yanbei through the Flying Fox, no matter what the reason, he could not hide his fear and alienation from the Holy Lord, and from another point of view, the King of Qi wanted to fly freely, no matter whether he was ambitious or had to live a chaotic life, he wanted to try his best to get rid of the shackles of the Holy Lord on him, and he wanted to get out of the shadow of the Holy Lord and breathe free air in the warm sunshine.

King Qi can be "willful", but this "willfulness" is politically fatal, it not only deepens the contradictions and conflicts between father and son, but also further weakens the trust between father and son, and if there is no basic trust between father and son, how can we talk about imperial succession? The result of King Qi's "willfulness" is that he is getting farther and farther away from the position of the prince, and he is becoming more and more marginalized in the Imperial War, and this is the goal of King Qi? If the goal of King Qi is to say goodbye to the imperial war completely, completely stay away from the center of power, and exchange himself for ordinary survival by self-exile and suppression of the frontier, then life may not be too miserable for this only prince.

For the Holy Lord and the Center, the potential hidden danger is secondary, and the pathos visible to the naked eye is the main one, whether it is the Holy Lord or the Center, there is no intention of "killing them all" at this moment, and they will acquiesce and connive at King Qi to go further and further on the road of "willfulness".

So the king of Qi entered Yanbei through the flying fox, even if he was convicted of "raising his own self-respect", even if the fact that he was in cahoots with the white thief was made public, but in the eyes of the Holy Lord, the center and the political enemies of the King of Qi, this kind of suicidal behavior is just a self-destructive "willfulness" under the despair of the King of Qi, which can only prove that he is running wild on the wrong path of self-depravity, never looking back, and has been completely crazy, and at this time, the King of Qi has no threat to the Holy Lord, the center and his political enemies. No one will fall into the well and kill the killer, and the Holy Lord and the Center will not put him to death, what everyone has to do is to silently "squeeze" the last trace of value of King Qi in sympathy and schadenfreude.

The reason why Feng Deyi sighed and warned King Qi about the seriousness of the consequences of his "willfulness" is this.

The king of Qi vented his anger with political "self-destruction" to avenge the blow of the Holy Lord to him. If you want me to die, I have to die, I won't make it difficult for you, I won't let you be infamous. Middle-earth is so big that there is no place for me to stand as a prince and prince, so good, I'll go, I'll leave Middle-earth, so that you can be satisfied. In this way, although the father and son have not turned against each other, they have become strangers; Although the King of Qi was not imprisoned, he flew away from the center of power, alone, struggling to survive in a barren land.

Of course, King Qi did not lose his mind, and the reason why he made this choice, as he himself said, was the "best consequence" he could strive for.

The current political situation is extremely unfavorable to him, although the deteriorating general trend between China and foreign countries and the deteriorating relations between the north and the south, as well as the strong recommendations of Pei Shiju and Feng Deyi, as well as the "solidarity" of Li Fengyun and the alliance army, the attitude of the Holy Lord and the central center towards him has also changed, but this does not guarantee that he will be able to go north to the border, and take a step back, even if he goes north to the border, there is no guarantee that he can firmly control the 20,000 army.

Without the army, he would be completely "dead" politically, so he must control the army, and his control of the army is a major hidden danger, for which the Holy Lord and the center must find ways to contain and weaken him, and to deprive him of his military power and take away his army, this is obvious. This can be seen from the Holy Lord and the central coercion of the white thieves out of the fortress to fight, they first eliminated the white thieves, and then they had to eliminate Li Zixiong, after eradicating all the wings of the King of Qi, the King of Qi was attacked on the front line of the Great Wall, and he was unable to protect his army of 20,000 at all.

The King of Qi can only win the guilt of the Holy Lord and the sympathy of the center with his political "death", and then use the imminent Great War of the North and South to win the opportunity to kill the prisoners on the border, so that the Holy Lord and the center can temporarily retain his military power and make the best use of it.

But this is very passive, the king of Qi can't control the result, and can't guarantee that he can firmly control the 20,000 army, so he pretended to "commit political suicide", deliberately "pretended to be crazy and stupid", deliberately lost his mind, nominally through the flying fox into Yanbei, in fact, it was to sit on the "self-respect", "tie" himself and Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun together, directly threaten the holy lord and the center, the dog is anxious and jumps the wall, if you force me to be anxious, I will rebel, and the net will be broken.

As far as the current general trend of China and foreign countries and the relationship between the north and the south are concerned, King Qi's "fish dead and net broken" is very unfavorable to Middle Earth, and it is not good for both internal and external affairs, and the holy lord and the center are forced to have no choice, and the consequence of compromise is that King Qi, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun work together, once they "sit big" in northern Xinjiang, the tail will not fall, and the hidden danger of King Qi will be more troublesome. But fortunately, there is also a great war between the north and the south, as long as the war breaks out, the power of the king of Qi will be the brunt, and it will inevitably fight to the death with the Turks, so as long as the holy lord and the center can control and make good use of the overall situation, they can use yang to plot and justifiably, grandiosely, and easily eradicate the scourge of the king of Qi.

With the self-confidence of the Holy Lord and the center, of course, they will not worry about the King of Qi as a disaster, they are absolutely sure that they will first "fatten" the King of Qi, "squeeze" the value of the King of Qi, and then slaughter it with one sword. As a result, King Qi's "fish and net breaking" are just a threat of "children" in their eyes, but in fact, what really moved them was King Qi's "political suicide", which was too sad. In this way, even in order to let the King of Qi survive, the Holy Lord and the Center must make the necessary compromises, after all, even if they can't "fatten" the King of Qi, they can't let the King of Qi "starve to death", which is related to the "face" of Middle Earth, the "dignity" of the Holy Lord and the Center, and they can't be sloppy.

Feng Deyi regretted it a little, he didn't expect that King Qi would choose political "suicide". This is completely unreasonable, and it is not in line with the character of King Qi, King Qi is not the kind of person who goes crazy when his mind is hot, his blood is boiling, his blood is boiling, and he is even impulsive to fight against the water. In Feng Deyi's expectation, the king of Qi is still bound to win the imperial rule, and he still has illusions about the holy lord, if he suggests that he take Juyong Pass to the north, passing through Linshuo Palace on the way, the king of Qi can just find an excuse to meet the holy lord, so as to find a way to repair the relationship between father and son. Unexpectedly, this was not the case at all, and King Qi chose political "suicide", which was not good for Feng Deyi. If the political enemies deliberately framed Feng Deyi, saying that the King of Qi was forced by him to "commit suicide", Feng Deyi would be speechless.

In fact, the reason why King Qi chose to commit political "suicide" was because he put all his bets on Li Fengyun. As long as Li Fengyun succeeds in recovering Anzhou, the situation between the north and the south will inevitably change drastically, so that not only the position of the king of Qi can be consolidated, but also the army of 20,000 can be firmly controlled, and more importantly, the king of Qi has more initiative in his hands, and he can use the strong force of the situation in the north and south to quickly expand his strength. Only when the strength is strong, can we make contributions in the Civil War, survive the war and dominate according to the northern Xinjiang, otherwise everything is empty talk, so at this time, arrogant, high-profile, showing the ambition of hegemony, that is the target of the public, purely looking for death, the best way is to keep a low profile, hide in the corner and silently show up, accumulate strength, lie down and taste courage, and wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

"Lone has made a commitment." Seeing Feng Deyi's gloomy face, King Qi secretly sneered and asked, "Should you tell Gu now, how can you persuade the Holy Lord to issue an edict and allow Gu Bei to go to the border?" ”

Feng Deyi nodded slightly, "Originally, I was only fifty percent sure, but now I am at least seventy percent sure." ”

"Seventy percent?" King Qi couldn't help but sneer, "Seventy percent sure that you dare to swear?" Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue? ”

Feng Deyi pondered for a while and said, "Boling is arresting the Northern Prisoners, and it is said that someone is going to assassinate the Holy Lord with the help of the Uncovered Assembly. Once it is proved that the mastermind behind this matter is the Turks, the king can take this opportunity to report to the Holy Lord, and take the initiative to ask to go north to patrol the border and give a warning to the northern captives of the desert. ”

Patrolling? King Qi suddenly realized, and smiled at Li Shanheng. Sure enough, it is a good plan, patrolling the border and guarding the border are two completely different things, patrolling the border is temporary, the king of Qi patrols the border, on behalf of China and Turkey to deter the northern captives, and strive to ease the tension between the north and the south, the desert tooth tent will not make a wrong interpretation, on the contrary, the king of Qi and the border, that represents the "main peace" attitude of China and Turkey in the relations between the north and the south is changing, and the civil war has been expected and began to prepare for war, which will inevitably lead to the rapid deterioration of the relations between the north and the south. Therefore, it is most appropriate for the king of Qi to go north to the border this time under the pretext of patrolling the border; And then under the pretext of the tension between the North and the South, it is understandable to stay there; When Anzhou was recovered and the Third Eastern Crusade began, the King of Qi changed from patrolling the border to garrisoning the border, which is also reasonable, after all, it is needed by the overall situation. At that time, the king of Qi had already made it a fait accompli, and it is estimated that the desert tent had already accepted it and treated it as an important opponent in the north-south confrontation, but this was not in the consideration of the king of Qi for the time being, and the king of Qi only needed to go north "legally".

"It's a good plan, Jing Gong bothered." King Qi knew that Feng Deyi was very conservative, in fact, Feng Deyi had the help of Jibei and Youyan Haojia before, and used the Boling crisis to ease the relationship between himself and the Holy Lord, and then impressed the Holy Lord with "family affection", and the grasp of a chance to patrol the border was still very large, but he decided to "commit suicide", he had to take the Flying Fox to the north, he had to control the initiative, and he had to turn the north to the border into a fait accompli, so as to coerce the Holy Lord and the center to compromise, and this strategy of going north to "patrol the border" just solved the problem of the Holy Lord and the center, Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that "patrolling the border" will become a reality.

Feng Deyi hesitated, but still told the truth, "This plan comes from Li Zixiong." ”

Feng Deyi did not dare to take credit, because the king of Qi would soon get together with Li Zixiong and the white thief Flying Fox, and when the truth was revealed, the king of Qi might have misunderstood, thinking that Feng Deyi deliberately united others to calculate himself, which would inevitably affect the cooperation between the king of Qi and the northern Hebei and Youyan wealthy families, and would not help improve the current predicament. In addition, Feng Deyi said that this plan came from Li Zixiong, which is equivalent to telling King Qi that Li Zixiong and Duan Da have been negotiating in secret, and behind Duan Da is the Holy Lord, once the Holy Lord meets Li Zixiong's conditions, Li Zixiong's allegiance to the Holy Lord is not good for King Qi, so although this is not a divisive plan, it can put a thorn in King Qi's heart.

King Qi was slightly surprised, and exchanged glances with Li Shanheng, understanding each other. Li Zixiong and Duan Da have been negotiating in secret, Duan Da wants to borrow a knife to kill people, and wants to drive the alliance army out of the fortress to fight, but Li Zixiong resolutely refuses. Later, Pei Shiju came up with a strategy to recover Anzhou, of course Li Zixiong wanted to use this opportunity to calculate Duan Da and extort the greatest benefit from Duan Da, and what is the current greatest benefit for Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun? Of course, it was the king of Qi who went north to the border. At present, only by "pulling" the king of Qi to the front line of the Great Wall as quickly as possible, forming a deterrent to the northern captives outside the fortress, firmly pinning down the Turks in the south of the city, and giving the greatest support to the alliance army to fight out of the fortress, can Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun's chances of recovering Anzhou be greatly increased.

From this, it is not difficult to speculate that Duan Da compromised, but the premise was how to convince King Qi? So Li Zixiong came up with the strategy of "patrolling the border". This policy will not touch the bottom line of the Holy Lord and the center, nor will it seriously endanger the relationship between the north and the south, but at the same time, it can meet the requirements of the king of Qi.

Duan Da's compromise was a major piece of good news, because whether it was Li Fengyun's battle out of the fortress or King Qi's containment on the front line of the Great Wall, it required the cooperation of the Yanbei garrison. If Li Fengyun and King Qi fought fiercely with the Turks inside and outside the Great Wall, and Duan Da was behind the scenes, encircling and suppressing the alliance army that remained behind the Flying Fox, the situation would be very unfavorable to Li Fengyun and King Qi.

"After the white thieves evacuate Shanggu, will Xiangyuan Gong (Duan Da) lead the army into Yanbei to encircle and suppress?" Li Shanheng asked quietly.

"The Holy Lord has made it clear in the edict that when the white thief is exterminated, and when the situation in Ji Youyan is stable, he will return to the Eastern Capital." Feng Deyi smiled bitterly, "The Holy Lord and the Central Pivot are stranded in Linshuo, and the Imperial Palace needs to be protected, not only does the Duke of Xiangyuan not dare to leave Youzhou for half a step, but he even has to transfer troops from Yanbei to Jicheng to ensure the safety of the Holy Lord and the Central." ”

"After Chen Ling, the deputy of Zhuo County, led the army south to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion, who will replace him in Yanbei?" Li Shanheng continued to ask.

"Wu Benlang will live in Zhao Shi." Feng Deyi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It is said that the Duke of Xiangyuan intends to invite the Holy Lord to ask the Master of Zhao Gong Yin to serve as the deputy guard of Zhuo County and sit in Yanbei. Speaking of this, Feng Deyi glanced at King Qi and said with a pun, "Duke Zhao is loyal to the Holy Lord and has won the trust of the Holy Lord. If the king goes north to patrol the border, the Yanbei town is particularly important, and Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei recommended by the king, is far away in Pengcheng, and the far water can't save the fire, so ...... Perhaps the Holy Lord will agree to the recommendation of the Duke of Xiangyuan and appoint the Duke of Zhao to sit in Yanbei and patrol the border from the king. ”

King Qi's face was suddenly gloomy, and Li Shanheng was also worried.
