Chapter 677: Conspiracy
August 15, Juma River, the camp of the Weifu Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info//
The Holy Lord's edict is Shanshan? Late, Feng Deyi and Duan Da were both eager to see through, but fortunately, the content of the edict was in line with the wishes of the two, which could be regarded as comfort.
Why can't the Holy Lord and the Central Committee make a decision? Feng Deyi learned through private channels that there were several reasons for the conflict between the Holy Lord and the core members of the central center over how to suppress the thieves.
Pei Shiju's recital is the "fuse", Pei Shiju said that he has forced the traitor to make a promise, and will take the initiative to trap the flying fox for a period of time in the future, the meaning is obvious, wait for him to come back from the west to deal with it, the appeasement has not yet failed, diplomacy is his "sphere of influence", and no one can reach out to cross the line. In other words, in order to absolutely control the diplomatic grand strategy, Pei Shiju must control the development of the situation in northern Xinjiang, so he actually controls the white-haired thief in the name of appeasement, and uses the white-haired thief to indirectly manipulate the situation in northern Xinjiang.
So here's the problem, the white-haired thief and this rebel army caused trouble in Yanbei, although it will indeed affect the relationship between the north and the south, but it is Youyan and even the entire northern Xinjiang situation that will be affected more, so it is natural that the thieves are the responsibility of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion and the Northern Xinjiang Garrison Army, not Pei Shiju's responsibility, so it is Pei Shiju himself who reaches out to cross the border.
Pei Shiju expected this, he overstepped his authority, crossed the line, and would inevitably be counterattacked, if the Weifu army was heavily encircled and suppressed, the white-haired thief would not wait for death, and he would definitely break through the siege and kill outside the fortress, so he issued a stern warning in the recital, and the white-haired thief was never allowed to fight outside the fortress, and if the relationship between the north and the south deteriorated because of this, he would bear the consequences.
Obviously, this is Pei Shiju shirking responsibility for his failure to appease. Pei Shiju originally intended to find a way to appease the white-haired thief after he returned from his westward journey, and turn this power into his own use, but the political enemies did not buy it, and went the opposite way, so as to kill the white-haired thief, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, killing people with a knife, and profiting from the fisherman.
Another important reason for the delay of the edict was that people came from outside the Great Wall. The Great Wall is full of spies from outside the fortress, and the slightest disturbance in any place in the northern Xinjiang will "grow wings" and quickly spread to the outside of the fortress. The white-haired thieves "fell from the sky", causing chaos in Ji and Yan, cutting off the largest channel for smuggling between the north and the south, and directly affecting the survival and development of the captives outside the Saiwai.
The first to respond was the Turks, the Tooth Banner set up in the Lightning River, that is, the fourth brother of the current desert Ya Tent Shi Bi Khan, quickly sent an envoy, on the one hand, to inquire about the latest situation in Youyan, on the other hand, to implore the Holy Lord to appropriately expand the trade between the north and the south, in order to test the latest attitude of China and Earth in the relations between the north and the south, and the most important thing is to tell China that the Xi and Khitan people are fighting again, and the situation in the northeast is in danger of getting out of control, which will inevitably affect the security of the border of Middle earth.
Goguryeo, the "ally" of the Khitans, was beaten to the brink by Middle-earth and could not give any support to the Khitans at all, so the resentful Xi people took the opportunity to attack, and the instigators behind the scenes were undoubtedly the Turks. The purpose of the Turks was simple, to test the reaction of Middle-earth, and to deduce what adjustments would be made to Goguryeo and the Far East after the two successive defeats of the Eastern Crusades.
If Middle-earth continues to launch the Third Crusade and resolutely monopolize the benefits of the Far East, the Turks will have to find ways to destroy and stop it, on the contrary, if Middle-earth ends the Crusade and gives up the benefits of the Far East, then the Turks will have to pick "peaches" and expand the power of the Tooth Tent to the Far East, and then form a pincer encirclement of Middle-earth in the east and north directions, so as to consolidate and strengthen the advantages of the Tooth Tent in the confrontation between the north and the south.
The Holy Lord and the Central Committee were annoyed and angry, and the Turks had a black hand behind their backs, taking advantage of the fire to rob, falling into the well, despicable and shameless, but under the current situation, Middle-earth is too passive, and it is difficult to come up with effective means to severely combat the arrogance of the Turks, unless the white-haired thieves and the rebel army are used to borrow knives to kill people, so Pei Shiju's warning was deliberately ignored by the Holy Lord and some ministers of the core of the center, they no longer hesitated, and they no longer looked forward and backward for the bad consequences that some uncertain factors might cause, and they resolutely made a decision, Agree to the request of Zhuo County to stay behind Duan Da, and grant him greater power to exercise, use the knife to kill people, and ensure the safety of Youyan and even the northern Xinjiang town.
To this end, the Holy Lord also ordered Feng Deyi to do a good job of supervising the duties, and tried his best to coordinate the relationship between the King of Qi and the Zhuo County left behind in the two prefectures, and worked together to fight hand in hand, striving to exterminate the white-haired thieves in the shortest possible time and stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang.
At the end of the edict, the Holy Lord gave Feng Deyi a fate, the white-haired thief would not be destroyed, and the situation in northern Xinjiang was not stable, so he and the center would not return to the eastern capital.
This task was too heavy, and it pressed on Feng Deyi like a mountain, making him breathless. Although the responsibility is great, the power is also great, but this power is the sword hanging over the head, the knife around the neck, once he fails to complete the task, his head is gone, the head is different, and the risk is completely uncontrollable.
Feng Deyi has no way out, whether he can reverse his political predicament and save his political life depends on this move.
In fact, at present, it is impossible to encircle and suppress the white-haired thieves by force, and it is impossible to coerce the white-haired thieves to go out of the fortress to fight the Turks, and it is impossible to appease them, Pei Shiju has monopolized the right to appease, and has reached a tacit understanding with the white-haired thieves, and he is absolutely not allowed to go out of the fortress, so he must rely on other means, and this is too difficult, there is no hope at all, the only possibility is the northern Hebei giants, because the white-haired thieves crossed the river to the north before, all the way unimpeded, and must have been "taken care of" by the northern Hebei giants, so if there is a breakthrough in this matter, It is necessary to take advantage of the giants of northern Hebei, and if you want to convince the giants of northern Hebei, Feng Deyi is undoubtedly the best choice. This is the reason why the Holy Lord entrusted the heavy responsibility to Feng Deyi, and Duan Da was no longer up to the task.
Duan Da was relaxed, the plan to kill people with a knife was still the same, and the executor was still the same, but the leader was replaced by the center, and Feng Deyi, as the representative of the center, took all the responsibility, which of course made Duan Da happy.
Duan Da put himself in the right position, lowered his posture, and took the initiative to ask, "Can Jing Gong have advice?" ”
"Xiangyuan Gong can make another appointment with Li Zixiong to discuss specifically." Feng Deyi frowned and said, "Trapped in a dead end for the flying fox, the white-haired thief had to compromise due to the coercion of Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju), but Li Zixiong is willing to sit still and wait to die?" ”
Duan Da pondered for a while, and cautiously suggested, "Duke Jing has a high position, and he has an old friendship with Li Zixiong, if Duke Jing comes forward, there may be an unexpected surprise." ”
Feng Deyi resolutely vetoed, "This is a major matter that will affect the relations between the north and the south, and the central authorities must not show their faces." "You still have to do what you want to cover, it's just a stab in the back, you still have a bloody knife with teeth and claws, if you have to provoke hatred, tear your face and fight, then it is contrary to the original intention, so you have to hide the knife in your smile, you have to kill people invisibly, you have to let the Turks knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and you have to endure it.
When Duan Da heard this, he stroked his hair and sighed bitterly, "Li Zixiong is too difficult to deal with, if you want to persuade him to commit suicide out of the plug, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky." ”
"So we have to think differently." "We can't convince Li Zixiong to get out of the fortress, but we can convince him to control the rebels." ”
As soon as these words came out, Duan Da's eyes suddenly lit up, and his thoughts were opened, "Infighting, split." provoked the rebels to fight among themselves, split Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief, and then we joined forces with Li Zixiong inside and outside, flanked back and forth, killed the white-haired thief, and then forced him to go out of the fortress to survive. Immediately, Duan Da thought of the difficulty, the discord is easy to do, but the consequences caused by the discord are difficult to control, once out of control, if the treacherous Li Zixiong will do the trick and bite himself in turn, or the white-haired thief is extremely vicious, and Li Zixiong will lose and even die together, or the white-haired thief eats Li Zixiong cleanly, wouldn't he move a stone to hit his own foot and bring disaster upon himself?
Duan Da voiced his worries. Feng Deyi was confident and smiled meaningfully, "King Qi chased the traitor to Boling." ”
Duan Da frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he understood.
The king of Qi was afraid, worried that he would fall into the plan of the Holy Lord, so he did not dare to come to Shanggu to suppress the thieves, so he found an excuse to go to Boling, so Feng Deyi had to go to Boling to comfort the king of Qi. If Feng Deyi took this opportunity to tell the truth about the Holy Lord and the center's determination to suppress thieves and the idea of killing people with a knife, and then induced the King of Qi to carry out a divisive plan, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone, which would not only help the King of Qi preserve Li Zixiong's strength, but also drive the white-haired thief out of the fortress and satisfy the wishes of the Holy Lord and the center, and the King of Qi not only did not lose, but also curried favor with the Holy Lord and the center, why not?
"When does Jing Gong plan to go to Boling?" Duan Da asked.
"I'm going to leave right away." Feng Deyi glanced at him and felt that Duan Da was not confident, so he reminded, "The Holy Lord has allowed you to deal with it on the spot, act cheaply, and at the critical moment, you can make a decision first, and cut it first and then play." ”
Duan Da secretly sneered, first cut and then play? Can you believe this? If Li Zixiong asks for pardon, can I agree on behalf of the Holy Lord? Apparently not.
"If Li Zixiong is pardoned for his innocence, how will he respond?" Duan Da was not fooled, and directly pushed the problem to Feng Deyi.
"Of course I promise him." Contrary to Duan Da's expectations, Feng Deyi was very decisive and made a final decision, "However, we also have conditions, the premise of pardon is meritorious service, and meritorious service in exchange for innocence pardon, this condition is reasonable and legal, and Li Zixiong cannot refuse." ”
Duan Da breathed a sigh of relief and his confidence was greatly increased, with this favorable condition as the foundation, the negotiations should be able to achieve some results.
"There is an even more important condition." Feng Deyi added unhurriedly.
Duan Da's heart was suddenly congested, and his stomach was full of slander.
