On the night of July 12, the chief sailor came to protect the Pegasus and rushed to Liyang and took the initiative to visit the King of Qi.

When King Qi heard the news, he was very happy and went out of the camp to greet him.

It is good news for King Qi to be able to go to Liyang in person under the current situation, at least it can show that the Holy Lord still cares about the relationship between father and son, and has not yet killed the killer, and Lai Hu'er does not want to turn against King Qi, and has no intention of tearing his face publicly, which indirectly shows that although King Qi's current situation is difficult, it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and there is still a chance to reverse.

After some cautious "probing," the conversation between the two sides gradually deepened, and the topic shifted from counterinsurgency in the eastern capital to north-south relations. The king of Qi talked endlessly, analyzing and deducing in detail the severity of the crisis in northern Xinjiang and the possibility of the imminent outbreak of the Great War in the north and south from various aspects such as politics, military, economy, and diplomacy, in an effort to win the recognition and support of Lai Hu'er for his northward march to the border.

In fact, Laihu'er has accepted Cui Junsu's persuasion and supported the king of Qi to go north to the border and create conditions for the third eastern crusade to launch the third eastern crusade in Middle-earth, but one is very dissatisfied with the trap set by the king of Qi and deliberately calculated, and the other is skeptical about the purpose of the king of Qi to go north to the border, and the third is very pessimistic about the strength of the king of Qi, with the current strength of the king of Qi, coupled with the containment and constraints of the holy lord, the center and political enemies, the king of Qi basically has no possibility of preventing the northern captives from sticking to the Great Wall, and once the Great Wall falls, the "fall" of the king of Qi is a trivial matter. The failure of the Third Eastern Crusade was a major event, so Lai Hu'er did not immediately make the decision to support the King of Qi to go north to the border, but went to Liyang to explore the "reality and reality" of the King of Qi to see whether the King of Qi was out of the need for political purposes.

In the same way, King Qi said it to Yuwenshu, said it to Cui Junsu, and now said to Lai Hu'er, not only has he already memorized it, but he understands it more thoroughly, and he is also immersed in it, and his voice is full of emotion, and even he has persuaded himself, and his impassioned feelings are real. He also has a lot of blood, he also wants to kill and defend the country, and he also wants to be a hero who stands up to the sky, and he is willing to break his bones for the sake of Middle Earth.

King Qi's "passion" infected himself, but he failed to impress Laihu'er. It's not that Lai Hu'er is ruthless and hard-hearted, but that Lai Hu'er has been fighting for a lifetime, and he has already proved that he is a hero of Middle-earth with a lot of meritorious deeds, in the eyes of such a hero, King Qi, the prince born with a golden key, does not want to forge ahead and does not make meritorious deeds, but also a mind to fight for power and profit, selfishness to the extreme, the "passion" of serving the country at this moment is purely a performance, although it is said to be fantastic, but empty and boring, without any substance.

Lai Hu'er was very disappointed, and after listening patiently, he asked, "King, if 100,000 northern captives invade the south, how to defend the Great Wall?" ”

King Qi was stunned, and the "passionate" love was like a dream, shattering in the face of cruel reality. If 100,000 captives invade the south, how to defend the Great Wall? The King of Qi didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, because the invasion of 100,000 northern captives to the south was equivalent to the outbreak of the Great War between the North and the South, and a war of this scale not only required enough troops, but also a large number of manpower, material and financial resources to support, but the King of Qi did not have enough troops, nor could he mobilize a large number of manpower, material and financial resources, and even, because of the third eastern crusade, the northern Xinjiang may not even be prepared for war.

King Qi's face gradually became ugly, his eyes were also very complicated, embarrassment, annoyance, resentment, all kinds of negative feelings surged into his heart, so that he couldn't help but have the urge to look up to the sky and roar.

Laihu'er's meaning is very straightforward, I can support you, but you always have to give me a reason to support. The relationship between the north and the border is heavy, empty words are not good, and it is useless to swear and promise, you must come up with real things, and the things you take out must ensure that you can defend the Great Wall and have the strength to ensure the safety of northern Xinjiang, otherwise why should you go to the northern Xinjiang? If you go to Northern Xinjiang, the Great War breaks out, and Northern Xinjiang falls, whose responsibility is it? Will your head be able to offset all the losses it causes?

And the deep meaning behind this sentence is even more desperate. If there is a third crusade to the east, the national strength is used to support the eastern crusade, then the support of the northern Xinjiang garrison is even smaller, and the king of Qi went north to the border to nominally increase the strength of the garrison, in fact, can the king of Qi play a deterrent force of 100,000 garrisons? If the Holy Lord and the Central Authority use this as a reason to draw troops from the Northern Frontier to participate? Zheng, hand over all the heavy tasks of the entire northern Xinjiang to the king of Qi, what should the king of Qi do? Taking a step back, even if the Holy Lord and the Central Authority considered the possibility of invasion by the Northern Captives and gave the King of Qi a certain amount of support, could this limited support help the King of Qi defend the Great Wall?

In a word, if you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work, if you don't have this strength, don't go to the north to the border, don't move stones to hit your own feet, and harm others and yourself.

Of course, King Qi is self-aware, he also knows that his strength is not enough, and he also knows that he will be constrained and attacked by all forces when he goes north, but he has the support of Li Fengyun and the alliance, coupled with the huge force behind Li Fengyun, as well as the two super giants in Hebei, King Qi still has the confidence to stick to the northern frontier and take this opportunity to develop according to the northern frontier.

It's just that Li Fengyun and the alliance's existence is a secret, at least in the short term, and once this secret is exposed, the Holy Lord and the center will definitely do their best to encircle and suppress it. This is not only the need to fight the king of Qi, but also the need to suppress the northern frontier, at a time when the relationship between the north and the south is deteriorating, the war between the north and the south is about to break out, if such a rebel army is allowed to be active in the northern frontier, the consequences can be imagined, in order to prevent trouble, of course, to eradicate the disaster with thunder when the situation is controllable.

Originally, Li Fengyun pinned his hopes on Yang Xuangan to enter the Guanzhong, use Yang Xuangan to drag the Holy Lord, and win time for the alliance to gain a foothold in the northern frontier, but now that Hu'er and the Sailor are here, tens of thousands of elite reinforcements have arrived on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, the King of Qi can be sure that Yang Xuangan is going to be defeated, even if Yang Xuangan kills in the Guanzhong, he will not live for a few more days at most, and it will not have much impact on the overall situation of the whole situation. In this situation, the King of Qi has to "keep his mouth shut", trying every means to protect Li Fengyun and the alliance, of course, this is also to protect himself, once the secret is exposed, the possibility of him going north to the border is very small.

Faced with Lai Hu'er's question, King Qi couldn't help but answer, "There are 20,000 horses under the lonely tent. ”

Laihu'er shook his head slightly, indicating that this little power was useless.

King Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The lonely general asks the Holy Lord, please transfer the important ministers to assist." ”

Laihu'er smiled and bowed. This idea is quite reliable, among the current supporters of King Qi, Li Hun, the Duke of Yuguo, Dong Chun, the Duke of Shunzheng, and Li Shanheng, the Duke of Wencheng, are all battle-hardened generals. The three armies are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, if the king of Qi goes north to the border to get their assistance, it will indeed help to stop the northern captives.

In this storm, Li Hun, Dong Chun and Li Shanheng have all made great contributions to counterinsurgency, and they must be rewarded for their merits and deeds, which is a "tricky" thing for the Holy Lord and the center, if the three of them are added to the official ranks, it is equivalent to consolidating the strength of the King of Qi, which is what the Holy Lord and the Center do not want to see, but take this opportunity to transfer them to the northern Xinjiang to "entrust them with important tasks", which can not only use them to garrison the northern Xinjiang, but also use the north-south crisis to fight them, and also find an opportunity to "end the pot" of the power of the King of Qi, such a good thing, Presumably, the Holy Lord and the Center will still weigh it carefully.

It can also be seen from this that the king of Qi has long been planning a strategy to go north, which also indirectly shows that even if the king of Qi did not participate in this storm, he already knew the existence of this storm, so he made two preparations, if the shape shì is advantageous, he will use this storm to seize the imperial rule, and if the shape shì is unfavorable, he will use this storm to go north to the border. From this, it can be seen that the "ambition" of the King of Qi is too great, and his appearance in this storm is enough to prove that he puts his personal interests above the interests of the country, which will obviously increase the contradiction between him and the Holy Lord, and is not conducive to his goal of going north to the border.

"King, this is not enough, it is far from enough." Lai Hu'er sighed, "Under the current situation, the difficulty of the northern Xinjiang garrison is already very large, if there is a third eastern crusade, the difficulty will be doubled, and the king will go north to the frontier, which will continue to double the difficulty of the garrison." ”

King Qi hesitated for a moment and asked respectfully, "Please advise Rong Gong." ”

Laihu'er hesitated and was silent, with a difficult face.

King Qi said with a smile, "Lonely and sincere to ask for advice, Rong Gong said that it is okay." ”

Laihu'er glanced at King Qi and said cautiously, "In a certain opinion, it is better for the king to follow the Holy Lord to the east to conquer Goguryeo than to be blocked from going north. ”

King Qi's face turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Lai Hu'er viciously, his eyes were cold and cold.

Lai Hu'er was really loyal to the Holy Lord, and in order to help the Holy Lord eradicate the scourge of King Qi, he actually came up with such a good idea. Follow the Holy Lord's Crusade? The sheep enters the tiger's mouth, and there is no return. Are you an idiot to me?

Seeing the cold light in King Qi's eyes, Laihu'er sighed secretly, knowing that King Qi had misunderstood, so he had to say it more thoroughly. p>

"The destruction of Goguryeo will cause turmoil in the Far East, which is not conducive to the suppression of Liaodong and will accelerate the deterioration of relations between the North and the South." Lai Hu'er said with a pun, "And the best way to quickly restore the stability of the Far East and ensure the interests of Middle-earth in the Far East is to rebuild a Far Eastern overlord, so if nothing else, the Holy Lord and the Central Council will establish a domain in Liaodong after the end of the Eastern Crusade and place the king of Liaodong Domain." ”

King Qi understood, but his anger was even greater, and he tended to go berserk.

As the only prince of Middle Earth, the king of Qi went to the distant border to be a vassal king, which belonged to the exile in the true sense of the word. Is it tolerable or unbearable, it may be "good intentions" to protect the child, but this "good intention" is used on King Qi, that is, bullying, it is a public slap in the face, and King Qi is beaten to a blue nose and swollen face.

"Lone would rather die in battle on the Great Wall than be the king of Liaodong who survives."
