The white-haired thief and Li Zixiong saw this very clearly, and did not dare to have illusions, and because of this, the two had the same concept, worked closely together, and both set their eyes on the Great War between the North and the South. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The interests of Anzhou and even the Northeast are indeed very large, but the acquisition of this interest is inseparable from the support within the Great Wall, so if the alliance wants to use this interest to blackmail Middle-earth, the income is very limited, not cost-effective, short-sighted, and seriously endangers its own survival and development.

For the alliance, the top priority is to survive and develop, and it is to rely on the support within the Great Wall to grow rapidly, and the countermeasure is to attack, attack, and attack again, and tempt Middle-earth with the great benefits of the northeast, so that Middle-earth can see that the fat prey is in front of him, and salivate, so he gives Anzhou a steady stream of support.

In fact, this is a mutually beneficial exchange, in the process of this exchange, the alliance will exchange the fruitful results for the full support of the Great Wall to solve its own survival and development problems, while the Middle Earth will use grain and grass weapons in exchange for the fruitful results of Anzhou, and then quickly alleviate and improve the current passive situation of "internal and external difficulties", and both sides will take what they need, each will take its own benefits, and both sides will be happy.

From the standpoint of Middle Earth, since the rebel force of the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong has proved its value with practical actions, then don't waste it, squeeze it out and eat it all, and swallow it even in one bite, and from the standpoint of the alliance, the Great War of the North and South is the turning point of fate, and the alliance must fight side by side with Middle Earth, join hands to defeat the Turks and establish meritorious deeds, so that the territory, strength, and meritorious service are also available, so that they have the capital to bargain with Middle Earth, and to maximize their interests, otherwise the ants negotiate with elephants, and the results can be imagined.

Of course, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong's "gambling" of putting them to death and living after death is too risky, and they will die for a lifetime, but the weak have no choice. However, fortunately, they "bet" correctly, and the Holy Lord, the center, and the military all saw the opportunity they created, and were willing to "bet", and even actively support, in order to openly intervene in the northeast battlefield to help them defeat their opponents and achieve their desired goals.

It is precisely because of this that raising tigers has become a problem that must be solved, and it is necessary to prevent it before it happens, and it is necessary to come up with effective countermeasures to stifle this hidden danger.

The Holy Lord, the Hub, and the military are unanimous on this issue. Now Middle-earth wants to maintain a relatively stable north-south pass, so it can't use political interests to openly appease Anzhou, can't meet Anzhou's interests and demands, can't put Anzhou's tiger in a "cage", and in order to ensure that the expected goals are achieved and that the huge amount of investment will not be wasted, the Great Wall must do its best to support Anzhou and help Anzhou develop and grow rapidly, so raising tigers is an inevitable result.

What to do?

Although he clearly expressed his support for Anzhou's northern expedition to weak Luoshui, he was unable to complete this arduous goal on the grounds that Anzhou's strength was weak and it was difficult to complete this arduous goal, and the existence of the Flying Fox rebels was a clearly visible hidden danger to Youyan, Hebei, and Daijin.

Duan Da had previously blackmailed the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong for the same reason, but was stopped by the Holy Lord in time, the Holy Lord said that supporting Anzhou and the Flying Fox to quell the rebellion are two different things, and asked Duan Da not to interfere in the matter of supporting Anzhou, and the result turned out that the Holy Lord was right, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong, with the support of the Great Wall, miraculously defeated the Xi army in a short period of time and completely recovered Anzhou. Now Anzhou is non-stop, and wants to conquer weak Luoshui in the north, but Anzhou's current strength does not have the conditions for the northern expedition to weak Luoshui, so Duan Da believes that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong are worried that in order to curb their growth in the Great Wall, they may have to reduce or even cut off their support, so they use Anzhou's gains and losses as a threat to coerce the Great Wall to increase support, thus exposing the ambition of the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong.

Duan Da determined that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong were two wolves that could not be fed, and even if Middle-earth wanted to use them, it was necessary to take precautions to avoid raising tigers, because of small losses, regrets were beyond reach, and the existence of the Flying Fox rebels was a nightmare.

At this time, Liu Yuanjin, a thief in the south of the Yangtze River, was proclaimed emperor according to Wu County, and Zhu Xie, Guan Chong, Li San'er, Xiang Danzi and other thieves responded in a group, and Jiangnan was in chaos; The situation in the north and south of the river has not improved because of the departure of a large number of thieves such as white-haired thieves, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin, Wang Bo, Guo Fangpre, etc., as well as the destruction of thieves such as Yingchuan Han Xiangguo, but has become more popular, among which the Qinghe thief Zhang Jin said that his strength has risen sharply because of the sacking of Liyang Cang, and he has attacked the city everywhere and is arrogant, and other Hebei thieves such as Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Geqian, and Gao Kaidao are also active on both sides of the Yongji Canal, which are becoming more and more rampant; At the same time, on the south bank of the Great River, Wagang Zhai Rang, Zhouqiao Meng Haigong, Qi County Meng Rang, Donglai Zuo Xiaoyou, Zhu A Lu Mingyue, Pengcheng Wu Hailiu, Peng Xiaocai and other thieves and commanders also burned, killed, and plundered. And between Jianghuai, Du Fuwei, Fu Gong Qi, Li Zitong and other thieves also roared, Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Yi brothers even defeated the Weifu army that went to encircle and suppress them, and killed the school captain Song Hao, which shocked Jiangdu for a while.

In short, the domestic situation is getting worse and worse, the two capitals are in turmoil because of the aftermath of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, the political liquidation is in full swing, the north and south of the river are in danger because of the rebels swarming, and the northern and southern parts of the river are in deep trouble because of the resurgence of the Turks and the comeback of the northern captives. So at this time and at that time, some time ago, Anzhou was not recovered, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong still had to face the counterattack of the Xi army, the situation could be subverted at any time, and the holy lord still had reason to prevent Duan Daxing from killing two birds with one stone, but now that Anzhou has been recovered, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong have to go north to attack weak Luoshui non-stop, the third eastern crusade is officially on the agenda, and the problem of the Flying Fox rebels must be solved, and Duan Da's plan to kill two birds with one stone is just in time, just in handy.

The reason why the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong refused to withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou was that the overall situation in Anzhou was undecided, and more than 100,000 Flying Fox people poured into Anzhou, which would only make the situation in Anzhou worse, and this reason does not exist now, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong have already gained a foothold in Anzhou, and have actually formed an internal and external attack on the Great Wall with the Flying Fox rebels, so Zhongtu has to ask, what do you mean? You are clearly ill-intentioned, how can I trust you? How can they continue to support you and raise tigers? You and I each take a step back, you withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou, and I openly intervene in the northeast battlefield in the name of suppressing thieves in the direction of Liaodong, and cooperate with you to sweep both sides of the weak Luoshui to ensure that you take the northeast in the shortest possible time, and then your strength skyrockets, although it is still very difficult to resist the attack of the Turks alone, but with me as a solid backing for you on the weak Luoshui line, coupled with the support in the Great Wall, it is enough to ensure that you hold the early results, so it is mutually beneficial, and the two do not suffer.

Of course, you can also refuse and threaten me with the interests of the Northeast, and I will indeed compromise and continue to support you for the sake of the interests of the Northeast, but you must consider, what if you fail? I openly sent troops to the Northeast Battlefield to kill you, not to kill the Donghu species, and even turn against the Turks, so I can only help you contain some of the enemy and reduce the pressure on you on the frontal battlefield, and whether you can win this battle depends on yourself. If you lose, then you will have to face a full-scale counterattack by the Turks and the Donghu races, and your crisis will be serious, and you will be in danger of total annihilation, and I will not achieve the expected goal, and of course the level of support for you will drop sharply, and the results speak for themselves.

You have failed outside the fortress, and the momentum of you and the Flying Fox attacking the Great Wall inside and outside will no longer exist, and the Flying Fox rebels can still exist alone? Therefore, the premise of the survival of the Flying Fox Rebels is that you survive and develop outside the Flying Fox Rebellion, and your survival and development outside the Fortress completely depend on my support for you. Why, then, do you insist on being my enemy? Why do you firmly believe that you are smooth sailing on the battlefield outside the Cyprus and invincible? The strength of my support for you is based on the assessment of your strength, if I decide that you don't have the strength to win the victory in the Northern Expedition to weak Luoshui, why should I support you? Anzhou gains and losses, although my interests are damaged, but for you, it is the annihilation of the whole army, and there are no bones, and it is clear which of the two has lost the most interests.

So the premise of my support for your northern expedition to weak Luoshui is that your strength must reach a certain scale, only in this way can you win, in order to resist the counterattack of the Turks after the victory, and hold all the results, otherwise the results will be lost and lost, and all my investment will be wasted, and the loss will be too great for me, for this reason, you must withdraw all the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou, so as to improve the strength to the point that I approve in the shortest possible time.

The Holy Lord issued an edict ordering Zhao Shizhu, Guo Xuan, and Murong Zhengze to immediately negotiate with Anzhou to support the plan of the Northern Expedition to Weak Luoshui, and in order to increase the chances of victory, the Liaodong Zhenshu Army will openly intervene in the Northeast Battlefield and give tacit cooperation, and there is only one condition, all the Flying Fox rebels will be withdrawn into Anzhou before the end of the year, and the purpose of this condition is also goodwill, which is to rapidly increase the strength of Anzhou to maintain the results of the Northeast War.

After the Northeast decision was formed, the Holy Lord, the center, and the military discussed the Eastern Crusade plan again, and at this time, a change quietly took place in the psychology of the entire decision-making level, and everyone felt this change, that is, the expectation of the Northeast decision-making.

If the Northeast decision is successful, and Middle-earth takes the entire Northeast with the help of Anzhou, forming a substantial threat to the flank of the desert, changing the situation of the confrontation between the North and the South, and greatly increasing the chances of winning the Middle-earth War in the Civil War.

Obviously, the value and significance of continuing the Eastern Crusade are not great, if you must fight, that is, to wash away the shame of the snow and avenge the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in Sashui, that's all.

Therefore, when the discussion was held again, the position of the Holy Lord and the reformists in adhering to the Eastern Crusade wavered somewhat, and the conservatives no longer strongly opposed it, but took advantage of the situation and vigorously exaggerated the favorable impact of the successful decision in the northeast on the situation at home and abroad, in an attempt to attract the attention of the holy lord, the reformers, and the military to the northeast battlefield again, so as to pool their wisdom and efforts, increase investment, and ensure the success of the decision in the northeast. As long as the decision on the Northeast is successful, even if the Holy Lord, the reformers, and the military still insist on launching the Third Crusade, its scale and cost can be controlled to a minimum, supplemented by diplomatic means, the dying Goguryeo will definitely surrender, so that the Eastern Crusade can be completely ended at the minimum cost, and will not cause great damage to Middle-earth again, which is within the scope of acceptance by the conservatives, and can barely make a compromise with the Holy Lord and the reformers.

The deliberate guidance of the conservatives played a role, and the more in-depth the discussion of the Eastern Crusade and the more intense the debate became, the more important the Holy Lord, the reformers, and the military paid more and more attention to the Northeast decision, and the more they felt that this decision could only succeed and not fail.

The Holy Lord and the Central Committee thought about it again and again, and issued an edict again, ordering General Zuo Wuwei and the inspector of Shanggu County, Cui Hongsheng, to immediately rush to Gubeikou to raise the level of negotiations with Anzhou, ensure that Anzhou accepted the conditions, and withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou to improve their strength.

The edict ordered Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard, to immediately rush back to Liaodong, lead the army to attack Fuyu City, and then under the pretext of the Khitans to help Goguryeo fight against Middle Earth, declare war on the Khitan, send troops to the northeast, kill the weak Luoshui, and cooperate with Anzhou to conquer Donghu in the north.

He also ordered the king of Qi and the general of Yanbei, who were patrolling the border and Huaifa, to immediately lead their troops out of the fortress and create a tense atmosphere at the Lightning River, so as to contain the Turkic army in the southeast of the city and win enough time for the northern expedition of Anzhou.

He also ordered Zhuo County to stay in Duanda, increase support for Anzhou, recruit more people, and deliver various war materials such as grain, grass, weapons and other war materials to Anzhou day and night.

He also ordered Feng Xiaoci, the general of the Right Xiaowei, who was suppressing thieves on the north bank of the Great River, to shift the focus of the crackdown on thieves to Anyang, Handan, and Zhaojun to ensure the safety of land transportation when the waterway transportation of the Yongji Canal was temporarily suspended.
