Duan Da knew Lu Junxian's intentions, and the Youyan wealthy family deliberately obstructed the reinforcements of Zhuojun to support Yang, in addition to wanting to "retaliate" against the Hebei people, it was intended to set up obstacles in the matter of the king of Qi going north to the border. The king of Qi could not go north to the border, and the people of Hebei were hit by the holy lord again, and the white-haired thief could not get support in Yanbei, and he would inevitably become a "turtle in the urn" and be defeated in an instant, so Yanbei was stable again, and the relationship between the north and the south could be maintained, and everything returned to the original state.

However, the fact that the Youyan people do not want the relationship between the North and the South to break down, do not want their homeland to fall into the flames of war, and do not want their own interests to be severely damaged in the Great War between the North and the South, does not mean that the Holy Lord and the Center have the same idea, and it does not mean that the main battle faction in Middle-earth will change their radical stance because of this.

Duan Da and Yin Shishi are both from Hexi Wuwei, both are warriors in the northwest, and they are both emerging nobles who have risen with military exploits, and they have a resolute attitude of support for the centralized reform with the ultimate goal of redistributing power and wealth, so they are both reformers, both are trusted and relied on by the Holy Lord, and they are also very pessimistic about the relationship between the North and the South, and have a strong will and motivation for the Third Eastern Crusade and the Great War of the North and the South.

In the face of Duan and Yin, two staunch reformers and main battle factions, and military and political ministers who are absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord, Lu Junxian's actions seem very "naïve", and they are just small tricks, which cannot be put on the table and cannot play a role. Of course, this does not mean that the Youyan wealthy family is helpless in the face of today's predicament, on the contrary, they are waiting for the evolution of the situation, once the development of the situation is not conducive to their own interests, they will have to make a choice, and at that time the situation in Yanbei and even northern Xinjiang will inevitably be more complex and full of uncertain variables.

After Lu Junxian expressed his intentions in a vague way, he stopped "entangled" and left. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to talk too much. Besides, Duan Da is a local governor, and Yin Shishi is a general of the Wei Mansion, neither of them is among the central authorities, and they know very little about the secrets of the central government, and the valuable information that can be detected from their mouths is also very limited.

After Duan Da and Yin Shishi politely sent Lu Junxian away, the two of them made a detailed analysis and deduction of the current situation in Ji Youyan.

The two are world friends, both of their fathers are old subordinates of the first emperor, plus they are both leaders of the Northwest Martial Arts Group, their interests are the same, and the other two are also of the same age, and they have helped each other in each other's careers, so the friendship is very deep, like brothers, knowing everything and saying everything.

Duan Da used to be the general of Zuo Yiwei of the Wei Mansion, and now he is a feudal official, and he has always been ahead of the Yin Shishi in his official career, but in terms of the aristocratic rank and political status of the two families, the Yin Shishi is more noble than Duan Da.

Yin Shishi's father, Yin Shou, won the trust of the first emperor back then, and was the close attendant of the first emperor. In the battle of pacifying Wei Chi Jiong, Yin Shou actually exercised command as a supervisor of the army, and made great contributions to the rebellion and rebellion, and then he was appointed as the governor of Youzhou in danger, conquered Liaodong, repeatedly conquered the captives of the Far East, and made great contributions to stabilizing the situation in Northeast Xinjiang, and was knighted as the Duke of Zhao. It is precisely because of the existence of this relationship that the Holy Lord attaches great importance to the Yin Shishi, and during the Western Expedition, he once worshiped the Yin Shishi as Zhangye Taishou to strengthen his control over Hexi; During the Eastern Expedition, he was transferred to the post of General Wu Benlang of the Weifu to strengthen his control over the expeditionary force; When Xiaoguo was first established, he entrusted the Yin Shishi with an important task to ensure that he commanded this guard army like an arm.

The two brothers sat together and discussed for a long time, and the Yin Shishi finally saw the current confusing and complicated situation through the fog under Duan Da's "guidance". In a word, in the next two or three years, the trend of North-South relations will determine the development of the general trend between China and foreign countries, and how the North-South relations will go, whether they will break down quickly or maintain the status quo, depends on the development of the situation in Yanbei, so for the Holy Lord and the center, controlling the development of the situation in Yanbei will also control the trend of the North-South relationship, and for the main battle faction, controlling the development of the situation in Yanbei will also control the outbreak of the Civil War.

"The situation of a certain Zhuo County is very difficult, which can be seen from this." Duan Da patted the map on the table and sighed with emotion, "A certain person is struggling in the cracks of the game of various forces, even if he tries his best, it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, and it is even more difficult to achieve the expected goal, so the result can be imagined." ”

The Yin World Master had the heart to persuade him, but in the face of Duan Da's predicament, he really couldn't find words of comfort.

The main responsibility of the Zhuo County Garrison Mansion is the border town, up to Yanbei, down to Yuyang, Beiping, all within the scope of its town, in addition to it is the rear of the Liaodong Town, to give Liaodong Town a full range of support, so no matter how bad the situation on Youyan's side, the Zhuo County Garrison must reserve a certain amount of manpower, material and financial resources to Liaodong to ensure the safety of the East Town.

From Huaihuang Town on the desert in the south of the country, to Yanshan, which stretches for thousands of miles, and then to Huaiyuan Town by the Liaoshui River, the border defense line of three or four thousand miles is not difficult for the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion to suppress, and what really makes the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion in trouble is the interest game of the forces in the north and south. Among these forces, the local forces directly related to the interests of northern Xinjiang, such as the desert Beijia, the Far Eastern Zhuyu, the Daibei Wuren, the Yanbei Wuren, the Liaodong Wuren, the Youyan wealthy family, the Hebei wealthy family, and the Daijin wealthy family, are the most complex, and there are also the two major political groups of Guanlong and Jiangzuo that involve the interests of the northern Xinjiang, as well as the holy lord and the center, as well as the reformists and conservative forces, etc., each with its own interests and talents, it is not difficult to imagine how powerless Duan Da, the northwest martial artist, is powerless, he can't cope with it, It's just that they simply don't have the ability to cope.

Duan Da's "borrowing a knife to kill people" looks very good, it has strong operability, it will help the Holy Lord launch the Third Eastern Crusade, and it will also help the Holy Lord defeat the Northern Captives in the Great Northern War, but the problem is that you are not the only one who is smart in this world, everyone is smart, you calculate me, I calculate you, it depends on who has the ability to laugh to the end.

Is Duan Da sure he will have the last laugh? No, at least so far, he still hasn't been sure, and now he doesn't even know what the white-haired thief looks like, so how can he persuade and control the white-haired thief?

"Brother, the top priority is to take precautions, to prevent trouble, and to completely cut off the white-haired thief's way to attack Zhuojun." The Yin Shi Shi changed the subject.

Yin Shishi is an old army, a noble son far away from politics, he followed his father in the early years to garrison the northeast frontier, and later went to the northwest garrison, fought in the border for many years, the days in the two capitals are only a handful, and he is not good at political games and power schemes, which is completely different from Duan Da, who has been in the prison for many years, accompanied by two generations of emperors, and wandered in the political whirlpool. Although the Yin Shishi is also very eager to continue the Eastern Crusade and want to launch a civil war to sweep the desert, he is subjectively very passive and relies on the highest decision-making level, but Duan Da is different, Duan Da is proactive, and he does not hesitate to use all means to influence the highest decision-making, so Duan Da saw the white-haired thief messing with Yanbei and thought of killing people with a knife, but the Yin Shishi could not agree, these unconventional and even illegal means made it difficult for the loyal Yin Shishi to accept it for a while. A thief is a thief, a thief is to kill, with the help of the power of the traitor to kill the northern captives, although there is a fisherman's profit, but there is also a disaster of raising tigers.

"Brother, it can be inferred from the known information that if the white-haired thief wants to attack Zhuo County, he may be attacked on two fronts." Yin Shishi fingered the map and continued, "All the way across Laishui and attack towards Zhuocheng, but considering that if we return to help, we will inevitably cross the Juma River and copy their back road, so this way should be a feint, on the one hand, it can attract the attention of the Holy Lord and contain the troops in the direction of Jicheng, and on the other hand, Chen Chong's troops will be on the north bank of the Juma River to block us and delay our return speed." ”

"The main direction of attack of the white-haired thief must be in Dafang Mountain."

There are two roads from Puyin to Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, one is from Puyin to the northeast, along the Laishui, over the mountains and mountains, over the pavilion, the city, into Zhuo County, over the Dafang Mountain, and then more than 150 miles is the capital of Zhuo County, Jicheng. The other is to go southeast from Puyin, first to Yicheng, the capital of Shanggu, and then cross Laishui into Zhuojun, and rush to Jicheng from the direction of Zhuocheng, the distance is about the same, but it is relatively flat and easy to walk.

Now Zhuojun's southward reinforcements are on the second route, and if this support army returns to Jicheng, it will also take this road, so the Yin Shishi concluded that if the white-haired thief wants to attack the Linshuo Palace near Jicheng, he will inevitably choose the first road, over the mountains and mountains, which is not only hidden, which is conducive to a surprise attack, but also conducive to the rapid retreat of the thief army.

"Brother, a certain suggestion is to deploy troops to reinforce the Dafang Mountain Pass as quickly as possible." Yin Shishi said, "There are still thousands of troops in your Liufu Mansion, and you can transfer two Yingyang Mansions from the middle to rush to the Dafang Mountain Pass, which can not only ensure the safety of Linshuo Palace, but also ensure that in the event of an accident, the army of the white-haired thieves will be firmly blocked in the territory of Shanggu, and the rebels will not be allowed to step into Zhuo County." ”

Duan Da accepted it after a little consideration, and issued an order overnight to transfer troops to reinforce the Dafang Mountain Pass.

Then Duan Da "struck with hot iron", and when the two brothers were talking happily, he suddenly asked, "If you are asked to stay, you and my brother will work together to suppress Youyan, are you willing?" ”

The Yin Shi Shi had a hunch that Duan Da's performance before was too "enthusiastic", and there were a lot of secrets that should not be said, and in the end, it was his various "sufferings", to put it bluntly, he needed help, especially the help of a close brother like the Yin Shi Shi. In fact, the goals of the two brothers in the future will be the same, both of them will safeguard the interests of the Holy Lord and the reformers, both will continue the crusade to the east, and both will win the victory of the Great Northern War, so the Yin Shishi is also willing to stay in Zhuo County to help Duan Da, but he disagrees with Duan Da's series of plans, he is not willing to "make a false and wronged snake" with a traitor, and he does not want to raise a tiger to bring disaster upon himself.

"Brother give me some time, and Rong weighs it carefully." The Yin World Master did not refuse, he knew that with Duan Da's ability, he could indeed persuade the Holy Lord to keep him in Zhuo County, but the problem was that he did not agree with Duan Da's strategy and did not have the confidence to win.

At this moment, one of Duan Da's cronies, Peng's subordinates, suddenly arrived in a hurry and presented a secret letter.

Duan Da opened the secret letter, only glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly.
