>，！

Li Fengyun smiled and shook his head, a little helpless.

Pei Xuanji was arrogant, standing in the perspective of the superior and overlooking all living beings, thinking that Tianxian was in his hands, he could kill and take away, and he could do anything, and the power of the alliance was like a mustard ant in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, if he didn't have doubts about his identity, he was worried about suffering from an unwarranted disaster, if he didn't want to check whether Li Zixiong and a group of nobles really existed, so as not to arouse public anger and be besieged by political enemies, Pei Shiju would not pay attention to the alliance, and Pei Xuanji would not risk himself, so after the truth was revealed, Pei Xuanji had to do the trick of appeasement, but Pei Shiju's "appeasement plan" has a bottom line, that is, it must be used by me, and it must obey orders, and there is no room for negotiation and compromise. If I can't control you, I can only destroy you to prevent future troubles.

"Can I ask you a few questions first?" Li Fengyun said sincerely, "If you can answer, you can answer, if you can't answer, don't answer, don't deliberately deceive someone." There is only one requirement for so-and-so, don't deceive so-and-so. ”

"Good!" Pei Xuanji agreed, "As you wish." ”

"When did you start suspecting the true identity of so-and-so?" Li Fengyun asked solemnly.

Pei Xuanji hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when Li Fengyun suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and warned in a cold voice, "Brother, what you just promised, don't deceive so-and-so." You and Ming Gong have already started our journey west, and our stay in the Upper Valley is very short, so if you and I can't build trust tonight, nothing will come of it, and it will inevitably delay your trip. ”

"A certain has entered Yanbei, worry-free, time is sufficient, take the initiative, and you don't have time, completely fall into passivity, it stands to reason that you should show a certain intention to compromise, but you don't, you are full of self-confidence and aggressive, which shows that you already have a countermeasure. The countermeasures are nothing more than two, if a certain is Li Pingyuan, then there is a solid foundation of trust between us, although it is broken, but as long as it is repaired, as long as the interests of the future are aligned, you will have absolute certainty to persuade you; On the other hand, if it weren't Li Pingyuan, and there was no trust between us at all, then even if you made a series of promises, you wouldn't believe it, and you would inevitably put your energy into the Boling Cui clan, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Zhongshan Liu family, because you think that they are the ones who actually control the alliance, so as long as you win their cooperation, you have the possibility of accomplishing the expected goal."

Pei Xuanji smiled, "You're right." ”

"But herein lies the doubt." Li Fengyun said, "Obviously, if the alliance is backed by the giants of Northern Hebei, then the goals of the giants of Northern Hebei are very ambitious, and from this well-known lofty goal, what interests do you have in exchange for their cooperation?" Even if you can use 'Song Zixian's conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord' to coerce them to compromise, this compromise is temporary, and the hatred will increase instead of decreasing, and when they get through this crisis, they will inevitably retaliate frantically, and even if you complete your mission to the west, because of the sudden deterioration of relations between the north and the south, the results of the westward journey will be wiped out in an instant. So it is certain that if you are sure that it is not Li Pingyuan, it is impossible for the white thief to threaten the vital interests of the Pei family, and your appeasement plan will basically lose the possibility of success. In other words, you are prepared to admit the failure of the appeasement and then go all out to destroy the alliance, which is why you have not shown good faith in negotiations and have been aggressive. ”

Pei Xuanji nodded again and again, admitting what Li Fengyun said, but these are not the key, what Li Fengyun wants to know is the "key" hidden behind the appeasement plan, but Pei Xuanji will not reveal anything anyway, because this is directly related to whether Li Fengyun can be successfully "appeased".

"Can you tell me the real answer now?" Li Fengyun asked.

"At the beginning of the month, Feng De Yi Mishu was an adult, and you were one of the important contents of it, but a certain adult did not believe it and was seriously skeptical." Pei Xuanji did not hide it, and briefly told Feng Deyi that Feng Deyi was burdened by Yang Xuan's feeling and fell into a crisis, so he asked for help from his father.

"After Duan Da had a secret interview with Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong), which central ruler did he use to present the relevant secrets to the Holy Lord as quickly as possible?"

"Feng Deyi." Pei Xuanji said without hesitation.

"Feng Deyi is on the other side of the Juma River, and he is not in the palace at all." Li Fengyun shook his hand and looked at him coldly, "Did Feng Deyi present the chapter through Duke Ming?" Feng Deyi dared to blackmail Ming Gong, is there any definite evidence to prove that it is Li Pingyuan? ”

Pei Xuanji sighed secretly, this person is simply a demon reincarnation, and his talent for analysis and deduction is rare in the world, although it is not exhaustive, but his mind is too cautious, and there is no possibility of deceiving him on the basis. This is the reason why he was valued by his own adults and cited as a confidant.

Pei Xuanji nodded, "You're right, it's indeed a piece of music presented by an adult, but Feng Deyi doesn't have definite evidence to prove that you are the key person who led the Yulin storm back then." However, this kind of thing actually does not need evidence, there are too many enemies of a certain family, strong enemies are around, and as long as there are rumors spread, they will definitely move and besiege them on all sides. ”

"What is Feng Deyi's purpose?" Li Fengyun asked, "If it's just for self-preservation, it's enough to have Ming Gong's secret help." ”

"Feng Deyi, in order to protect himself, clearly stood in line." Pei Xuanji pursed his lips disdainfully, "This old man is brazen, he stabbed a knife in the back at a critical moment, and what makes people even more angry is that before he stabbed the knife, he even had the face to ask for the understanding and support of an adult, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Li Fengyun had already speculated in a flash of lightning, and then asked, "Has Ming Gong's position also changed?" ”

Pei Xuanji didn't say a word and acquiesced.

Li Fengyun connected many key points, and immediately had a general understanding of the thinking of the core layer of the center in future decision-making.

"One last question." Li Fengyun said, "Since the Holy Lord and the Central Pivot have agreed to Ming Gong's appeasement plan, have they changed their attitude towards traitors? Are you willing to unite all the forces that can be united before the outbreak of the Civil War? ”

Pei Xuanji's face was expressionless, his eyes were gloomy, and he continued to be silent.

This is the "key point", and Li Fengyun really saw the "key point". He said before that he was unwilling to be a knife to kill people with a knife, the meaning was obvious, he knew that the appeasement was fake, and it was impossible for the Holy Lord and the center to be appeased, at most, it was surrendered, and surrender meant that Li Fengyun and these traitors were tied up, and from then on they were fish and meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered, so it was impossible for Li Fengyun and his subordinates to hand over the army, and it was impossible for them to hand over their lives to others, this was their bottom line. But in the current situation, if Li Fengyun does not use a knife to kill people with a knife and swears to fight the court to the end, then even under the pressure of the Civil War, he and Duan Da have achieved a certain degree of tacit understanding, they will also use each other to deceive each other, as long as the interests of the two sides conflict, they will inevitably fight, and in the end, no matter which side wins or loses, it will deal a heavy blow to the northern Xinjiang town.

This is a dead end, there is no basis for negotiation between the two sides, unless a miracle falls from heaven, and what Pei Shiju is looking forward to is a miracle, if the white thief is Li Pingyuan, then he will be sure to control the white thief, and if he controls the white thief, he will control the alliance army, and if he controls the alliance army, he can control the situation in northern Xinjiang and the trend of north-south relations.

Pei Xuanji was very direct, and after determining that the white thief was Li Pingyuan, he immediately "pounced" on it, wanted to put the white thief in a "cage", and wanted to control the white thief, but was met with Li Fengyun's merciless "counterattack". Pei Xuanji is obviously very confident in the intimate relationship between Pei and Li Pingyuan, and may even think that even if Pei Shiju was forced to "break the arm of a strong man" at the beginning, Li Pingyuan is still full of feelings for Pei, who expected that now it is a thing or a person, this white thief is no longer Li Pingyuan, and the miracle that Pei's father and son expected has not been born.

"Are you done with your question?" Pei Xuanji broke the silence.

Li Fengyun nodded.

"Then it's your turn to ask you." Pei Xuanji asked Li Fengyun the same topic for the third time, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Li Fengyun glanced at him indifferently and said word by word, "It's not Li Pingyuan. ”

Pei Xuanji sighed silently, hiding his face with his hands, helpless.

"Whatever you want to know, so-and-so told you." Pei Xuanji was helpless and had to lower his posture, "So, what do you think, can you tell so-and-so?" ”

"As I said just now, you underestimated the Western Turks, and also underestimated Achailu, and you still don't want to admit that Tuyuhun has been restored, and Tuyuhun's restoration not only affects the western Xinjiang town, but also affects the entire situation in the western soil, and this impact is very unfavorable to the middle earth, so a certain believes that the mission of the Ming Dynasty to the west is actually uncomplete, because the middle earth has no strength in the short term to move the west again, destroy Tuyuhun again, and expand the sphere of influence to the Western Regions again, and the continuous defeat of the Eastern Expedition has caused the situation in the northern Xinjiang to deteriorate sharply. The sharp decline in relations between the North and the South has led to the dilemma of China and Earth on both the eastern and western fronts, coupled with the domestic crisis, and the Holy Lord and the Center are now under the enemy and are in great difficulty. ”

Pei Xuanji immediately wanted to refute, but Li Fengyun stretched out his hand in time to stop it, "I ask you, if Ming Gong arrives in Hexi, it is determined that Achailu has captured the West Sea, and the Longxi army is unable to counterattack in the short term, Tuyuhun has in fact restored the country, and at the same time, it is also determined that the Western Turks have swept across the Western Regions, and the Hexi army is also unable to counterattack in the short term, the Western Turks have actually controlled the Western Regions, the entire situation in the Western Territories has become irreversible, and the crisis in the Western Territory has evolved into the Crisis in the Western Territories, All the achievements of the previous Western Soil Strategy have been lost in the past few months, so will Ming Gong continue to travel west with empty hands, and will he go deep into the Western Land to dance with wolves and seek skin with tigers? ”

Pei Xuanji was speechless and powerless to refute. However, he believed in the strength of the Northwest Army, and also judged that it was impossible for the Western Turks to support the restoration of Tuyuhun, after all, this was to raise tigers, and the Turks would not be stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot, so the Western Turks would at most support Tuyuhun counteroffensive, and use Tuyuhun to contain and consume Middle Earth, so as to help it sweep across the Western Regions and take away control of the Western Regions. If the situation in West Turkey unfolds according to this trend, China still has "bargaining chips", and there is still hope for the completion of the mission of the west.

Li Fengyun continued, "If the mission of the Ming Dynasty to the west is not completed, the western frontier will turn into a passive defense, and the Northwest Army will retreat to the Dunhuang defense line, giving up the benefits of the Western Regions to the Western Turks, and see if it can provoke a fight between the Eastern and Western Turks." The two tigers compete, Middle-earth can profit from it, but the Western Turks and the Persians have long been sabre-rattling, the war is imminent, at this moment the main force of the Western Turks are in the west of the Green Ridge, their biggest purpose in passing through the east of the Green Ridge is to stabilize their eastern front, in order to avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, for this reason, on the one hand, they want to control the Western Regions, on the other hand, they will actively provoke a war between the ****** and the Middle Earth. ”

"How can you provoke a Civil War? Quite simply, the Eastern and Western Turks formed an alliance and cooperated, with the Western Turks uniting with Achailu and the Western Regions to contain and deplete the Middle-earth army on the Western Front, while the ****** concentrated their main forces to invade southward. The two-front battle in Middle-earth, even if it is supported, is still a great loss of vitality, and in the short term, it can only passively defend, and it is no longer able to form a substantial threat to the eastern and western Turks, so that the Western Turks can concentrate on waging a big war with the Persians, while the ****** people are holding back and consuming Middle-earth, while patiently waiting for the opportunity, just waiting for the Western Turks and the Persians to defeat both, and its dream of a great Turkic khanate will be realized. ”

"Therefore, the prediction is that within two years, that is, in the summer and autumn of the following year, the Great War between the North and the South will definitely break out, and if Middle-earth is ill-prepared and rushes to the war, the result can be imagined, and it will definitely be defeated."

Pei Xuanji disagreed, he believed that the Great War between the North and the South would definitely explode, but as long as the mission to the west was completed, the explosion of the war could be delayed, and Middle-earth would have more time to prepare for war.

"What do you do?" Pei Xuanji asked, "You pull Li Zixiong, the king of Qi, and tens of thousands of troops to the north of the frontier, no matter what the ultimate goal is, the first thing you encounter is the Great War between the North and the South, and you can only imagine the future if you survive the war and retain a certain strength, otherwise you can only be a flower in the moon mirror in the water, a daydream." ”

Li Fengyun opened the map on the desk.

This is a map of the northeastern territory, in addition to Youyan, Liaoxi, Liaodong, and other Far Eastern captives, it is also clearly marked with the habitats of the Far Eastern captives such as Xi (xi), Xi Khitan, Wei Jing, Goguryeo, etc. Li Fengyun took out the Zhu pen, first landed in Yanbei, then out of Yanshan, entered the territory of the Xi people, then entered the territory of the Khitan and Xia people, and finally landed in Liaodong.

Pei Xuanji understood it at a glance. Everyone underestimated Li Fengyun, Li Fengyun had no intention of staying within the Great Wall at all, he directly crossed the Great Wall, directly broke the shackles of relying on the passive defense of the Great Wall, and wanted to fight a world outside the Great Wall.

"Once this move is successful, you will be the king of the Northeast, not only cutting off the hand of the North Lu to the Far East, but also posing a huge threat to the flank of the North Lu." Pei Xuanji said this, his eyes were worried, "It's just that in this way, if you compete with the Northern Captives for the benefits of the Far East, you will inevitably be fiercely attacked by the Northern Captives, although this move can effectively alleviate the explosion time of the Great War between the North and the South, but the cost is too great, and you are very likely to be wiped out in the case of isolation." ”

"So there is only one condition." Li Fengyun said solemnly, "The only condition." ”
