Now he can only wait and see, the new changes in the political situation in the Eastern Capital are completely beyond Li Fengyun's expectations, making Li Fengyun uncertain about the future trend of the situation, his original intention to enter the Eastern Capital is to change history, but at present, it seems that he has an unknown interpretation of the history in his memory, and he does not know why it is, as a result, his decision-making has exacerbated the complexity of the situation in the Eastern Capital, and now he is also in the fog, and has lost control of the situation in the Eastern Capital, no longer purposefully chopping the waves, but drifting with the tide without direction.

Li Fengyun was very annoyed, he was obsessed with the history in his memory, and he didn't interpret Yang Xuangan enough, so that he was suddenly lost on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital.

Yang Xuangan has ideals, courage, and wisdom, and this mutiny is not a desperate impulse, but the result of careful consideration. This time he was ruined, using violent means to overthrow the Holy Lord and even destroy the national Zuo, and destroy the reform once and for all, so that he completely exacerbated the contradictions between the reformers and the conservatives, and the two sides were endless, in this case, Xijing, as one of the conservative forces, if he wanted to protect himself, he would either accept Yang Xuangan's coercion and cooperate with Yang Xuangan, or watch the conservative forces in Middle-earth be broken by the Holy Lord and the reformers.

How to choose Xijing? It's too hard to choose. From Xijing's standpoint, the most ideal result is, of course, to cooperate with Yang Xuangan and destroy the Holy Lord and the reformers, but the problem is that the Holy Lord clearly knows that the political situation in the Eastern Capital is already in crisis, and he still insists on launching the Second Eastern Crusade, which is obviously digging a "hole" for the conservative forces. Therefore, July is a key point, and if the expeditionary force reaches the city of Pyongyang around July, it will give the conservative forces an opportunity to destroy the Holy Lord and reform by violent means, both in time and space.

However, at present, the Holy Lord is still under the Liaodong City for a long time, Yuwenshu and Yang Yichen's expeditionary selection army is still hesitant in Yalu Water, the process of the Eastern Expedition is strictly delayed, and the Eastern Expedition looks very unoptimistic, but in this not optimistic situation, the Holy Lord has "attacked" the conservative forces, and the secret edict arrested Li Zixiong and Yuan Hongsi, both of whom are conservative bigwigs, and they are both big men who hold military power. Sure enough, the political situation in the eastern capital was "shaken" upside down.

Yang Xuangan was forced to have no choice but to raise troops in advance, and this "advance" seemed to be the loss of his own advantages and trapped himself in passivity, but in fact, the Holy Lord was even more passive, how did the Holy Lord choose? Should they give up the Second Crusade and return to the division to quell the rebellion, and deal a fatal blow to the conservative forces with lightning speed, or should they continue the Second Crusade and win the victory of the Eastern Crusade, and then return to the division to quell the rebellion? Choosing the former can avoid civil war and avoid the danger of national collapse, but the situation between the north and the south will deteriorate, if the civil war is too long, the loss of national strength is too great, and the civil war may break out at any time, which is very unfavorable to Middle-earth; On the contrary, if the latter is chosen, although it is conducive to curbing the rupture of North-South relations and delaying the outbreak of the Civil War, civil war is inevitable, and the country may fall apart, and once the great cause of reunification collapses and China and Earth fall into division and war, how can we prevent the invasion of the North from the south?

In this way, it is more likely that the Holy Lord will choose the former, and when he sees that the crisis in the Eastern Capital has spread out of control, and when he sees that all the conservative forces in Middle-earth have united against him, and have seriously threatened his and the reformers, and even endangered the survival of the country, he will inevitably give up the Second Crusade and return to the army to quell the rebellion. This strategy has always been the most important defense and diplomatic strategy of the Middle-earth dynasties, and the Holy Lord and his ruling group will not abandon this basic strategy at a critical moment. The lesser of two evils, this choice of the Holy Lord is understandable.

However, why bother in the first place? Knowing that the conservative forces were going to fight to the death, why did the Holy Lord and the reformers have to rush into the Second Crusade and trap themselves, the country, and the whole of Middle-earth?

Li Fengyun thought about it and thought about it for only one explanation, that is, the Holy Lord and his ruling group were overconfident, and they did not have enough understanding of the main contradiction hidden under the political situation in the Eastern Capital, and they also did not have enough understanding of the danger caused by the main contradiction, which was not "negligence", but "contempt", because of overconfidence, they despised the damage caused by the radical reform policy to vested interest groups, and underestimated the patience of vested interest groups to damage themselves. What is tolerable in the eyes of reformers is unbearable in the eyes of conservatives, and the result is that both sides have made wrong judgments and made wrong decisions about the present and the future.

For example, the Holy Lord issued an edict to secretly arrest Lee Zixiong and Won Hongji at a certain time in May, and his intention may be twofold: one is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so as to deter the domestic conservative forces and curb and combat the resistance of the conservatives, and the other is to do a good job of stabilizing the domestic situation for the expeditionary force to attack Pyongyang. In the eyes of the Holy Lord, I use you because I want to kill you, to squeeze your last bit of value, and in the eyes of conservatives, this is the terrible thing about centralization, power will get out of control if it is too concentrated, and those in power will do whatever they want, just like a tiger that escaped from the cage, extremely vicious, and miserable, so power must be restricted, even if it cannot be achieved "the king and the horse share the world", at least the imperial power and the relative power must be checked and balanced, and they must be restrained from each other. Of course, the most ideal is the gate lord clan system, the king and the horse share the world, blessed and shared, hello, I am good, everyone, everyone is happy.

The result was that the goal of the Holy Lord was not achieved, but the contradictions were intensified, the crisis was exacerbated, and the conservatives were determined to overthrow the reform by violent means.

Li Fengyun and Li Min tried their best to analyze and deduce repeatedly, and finally came to the conclusion that although the Holy Lord had anticipated the crisis in the Eastern Capital, and even knew a little about the conspiracy of the radical forces in the conservative faction to mutiny, and made a series of preventive measures for this purpose, such as provoking a new round of imperial struggle to divide the conservative forces, and arresting conservative ministers who held military power at critical moments to deter those who plotted wrongdoers, etc., but because of overconfidence and improper measures, the result not only did not play a preventive role, but aggravated the crisis. In the end, the guide was "both defeats and losses" and self-destructed the foundation.

The key role played in this is not Yang Xuangan, not Yang Gongren, not to mention reformers such as Fan Zigai, but Xijing, which is the local aristocratic group of Guanlong with Wei as the head.

In the current crisis, how does Xijing choose? Since the Holy Lord's choice was predictable, it was obvious that Xijing's choice could also be inferred.

Judging from Xijing's philosophy, position and interest appeal, the main purpose of Xijing must be to destroy the reform, and to destroy the reform is to destroy the Holy Lord first, but since the choice of the Holy Lord is foreseen, then this difficulty is very great, so Xijing can only retreat to the second best place and destroy the Eastern Capital, and if you want to force the Holy Lord to compromise and move the capital back to Xijing, it is far from enough to destroy the Eastern Capital, you must destroy the Second Eastern Crusade and deal a fatal blow to the Holy Lord and the reformers, only in this way can the Holy Lord be forced to "bow his head".

From this goal, after Yang Xuangan was moved by the mutiny, Xijing would definitely enter the battlefield of the Eastern Capital as soon as possible, but Xijing would definitely not form an alliance with Yang Xuangan to cooperate, but to achieve a "tacit understanding" with Yang Xuangan, and the two sides joined forces to rapidly expand the crisis in the Eastern Capital.

Xijing's first goal is to turn the eastern capital into "ruins", and the second goal is to create an illusion that it will ally and cooperate with Yang Xuangan at any time, and once Xijing allies and cooperates with Yang Xuangan, it is the beginning of the life-and-death struggle between the conservative forces of Middle-earth and the reformers of Middle-earth, the beginning of the change of imperial unity, the beginning of the civil war in Middle-earth, and the beginning of the disintegration of the great cause of national collapse and unification, so the Holy Lord has no choice after seeing this "illusion", even if he knows that this is an illusion deliberately created by Xijing, It was a despicable means that forced him to immediately give up the Second Crusade, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and had to admit his defeat and accept the cruel reality.

Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, accurately foresaw this trend, so he forcibly seized military power at any cost, and did his best to prevent Xijing's army from entering the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, although he could not fight on four fronts at the same time, but as long as he blocked the army of Xijing and the army of the King of Qi outside the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, he could control this crisis within an acceptable range by virtue of the strong defense of the Eastern Capital.

"Can Guan Gong prevent the acting king from entering Beijing?" Li Min muttered to himself, not knowing whether to ask Li Fengyun or talk to himself.

"Entering Beijing on behalf of the king and entering Beijing with the Xijing army are completely different things." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "The game in the eastern capital is very fierce, although Yang Gongren is very authoritative, but at the moment of crisis, the major forces have their own thoughts, each takes care of its own interests, or a plate of scattered sand, Yang Gongren has no choice but to retreat to the second, first to ensure the safety of the king, to protect the interests of the royal family to the greatest extent, he can't take care of the rest, take a step and see a step." ”

"If the acting king doesn't enter Beijing, many of Xijing's intentions will be exposed, how can Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan) not know?"

Li Fengyun bowed slightly, and after a little deep groaning, he asked, "In your opinion, compared to Yang Xuangan and Yang Gongren, who has the better strategy?" ”

Li Min glanced at Li Fengyun in surprise, not knowing why he suddenly asked about inconsequential matters, but immediately thought of Li Fengyun's unpredictable and amazing talent, Li Min immediately paid attention to it.

"In a certain opinion, Yue Gong's strategy is better." Li Min replied without hesitation.

"Why?" Li Fengyun asked.

"Because of Guan Gong's character." Li Min sighed, "Guan Gongren is as his name suggests, gentle and benevolent, and such a character will inevitably affect his strategy." ”

A good man, an honest man, a benevolent and righteous man, if you let him do great evil schemes, it is absolutely impossible.

Li Fengyun laughed and said with a pun on his face, "Since Yang Xuangan's strategy is higher, then what Yang Gongren can think of, what we can think of, Yang Xuangan can think of, and what Yang Gongren and we can't think of, Yang Xuangan can also think of." ”

Li Min was puzzled, thought seriously for a moment, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Yue Gong still has a backhand?" ”

"Judging from our inference, Dongdu is a trap, a dead place, and there is not the slightest vitality." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "With Yang Xuangan's strategy, even if he puts him to death and survives, at least he has to find a living place to die, right?" The road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, don't underestimate him. ”

Li Min hesitated and pondered, Huo Ran had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help but exclaim, "A good plan is a wonderful plan, and Yue Gong really has a good strategy, and it is really a good means."
