On the first day of September, the first line of the Great Wall of Yanbei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Fengyun supervised the army to advance rapidly, and the soldiers of the three armies marched forward bravely, crossed Xiaoning City, and went straight to Yehuling, and the important town of Huaihuang was close at hand.

In the face of the roaring rebels, the Great Wall garrison was very nervous, and the eagles held on, their swords and arrows were wound, ready to wait.

The situation in the border towns deteriorated suddenly, the doors were closed, the north and the south were cut off, and the people who were going to be hit were the Han and Hu merchants who traveled back and forth between the north and the south.

On the first day of the ninth month, Wu Benlang drove Zhao Shizhu and his army to Daning City, and behind him, Xiahou Zhe, the head of the alliance, led the first, second and fifth armies of the alliance, and was following behind, pressing step by step.

Zhao Shizhu urgently ordered that Zhu Yingyang must take holding the Great Wall as the first priority, no matter how the situation in the border town changes, do not take the initiative to attack, neither take the initiative to go out of the city to attack the rebels in the Great Wall, nor take the initiative to go out to kill the thieves outside the Great Wall.

Zhao Shizhu also ordered the Yehuling garrison, if the rebels attack the pass, to fight out of the siege, then hold on with all their might, if the loss is too great, it is difficult to stop, then choose the opportunity to open the gate, let the rebels escape, and all the consequences caused by this are borne by themselves.

On the first day of the ninth month, outside the Saiwai, the lightning river Qishuibo, east. The Turkic Khanate is where the tooth banner of Ashina is located.

Since the Emperor of Middle-earth suddenly ended the Second Crusade and hurriedly returned to China from Liaodong, but the car was stranded in Zhuojun and did not return to the Eastern Capital for a long time, the atmosphere outside the Sai Wai quickly became tense.

In order to find out the reason why the Emperor of Middle-earth was stranded in Zhuo County, he sent messengers to Linshuo Palace twice to meet the Emperor of Middle-earth, and sent a large number of secret agents and used many secret channels to find out the movements of Youyan, and at the same time issued a warning to all the tribes in the area of the Lightning River, and made a convening order, asking them to prepare for battle, and once the situation in the north and south deteriorated, they would quickly assemble to ensure the safety of the southeast.

Of course, this is to take precautions to avoid accidents and surprises. At present, although the relationship between the north and the south is getting worse, the trust between the two sides is getting less and less, and there are more and more contradictions and conflicts, but nominally the tooth tent still respects the middle earth as the suzerain, there should be a lot of etiquette, the tribute is still tribute, both sides are trying to maintain the stability of the bilateral catalpa system, especially the first eastern crusade of the middle earth, the second eastern crusade and the failure to return, the loss of national strength of the labor expedition, coupled with the domestic political situation and turmoil, internal and external troubles, more need for a stable north-south relationship, so the possibility of sending troops to the north is very small, If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of Middle-earth was stranded in Youyan, the situation was unclear, and the variables were too great, Qi Jishe would not even give a warning and summons to his tribes.

The sudden change in the situation of Youyan is also a recent thing, and the tooth banner that is in charge of the military in the southeast must be of great concern here, and for the east. As for the tooth tent of the power center of the Turkic Khanate, because of the distance and the inconvenience of information transmission, there has not yet made a positive response, but there is one thing that the tooth tent is still quite worried, that is, it is worried that the sudden change in the situation of Youyan will affect the smuggling between the north and the south. At present, the official trade between the north and the south could not meet the needs of the Turkic Khanate, so the smuggling between the north and the south immediately became an important auxiliary means for the tooth tent to reserve strategic materials, and it was indispensable.

However, the Turks' fears soon became a reality, and the Yanbei channel, which had the largest amount of smuggling between the north and the south, was "cut off" in response, among which the main smuggling roads in Yanbei, Lingqiu Road and Flying Fox, fell directly into the "hands of the enemy", and if you want to reopen this important smuggling channel, it is not just as simple as killing the "enemy". This smuggling channel involves too many interests, and even involves the confrontation between the north and the south, and affects the future trend of the general trend at home and abroad, so when the "pot of water" has been completely muddyed, it is simply impossible to "see the bottom clearly" in the short term, and it is inevitable to find other solutions.

As a result, the core members of the Banner immediately shifted their "eyes" to the northeast region east of the Song Desert.

The various tribes in the northeast are mainly the Xi, Xi and Khitan tribes, who worship the Turks as their suzerains, while the Middle Earth is the Turks and their "co-masters". The "co-masters" were very jealous and wary of the Turks, so they used both grace and power against the northeastern tribes, containing and attacking them while co-opting and buying them, but the effect was not ideal, among which the Khitans formed alliances and cooperated with the Far Eastern captives such as Goguryeo and the Yan people, while the Xi people got close to the Turks. Now Goguryeo is dying by the middle earth, and the middle earth has also lost a lot of losses, which gives the Turks the opportunity to deliberately provoke a fight between the Northeast captives, confuse the situation in the Northeast Naizhu Liaodong, in order to weaken and annex the Northeast captives to achieve the purpose of threatening Middle Earth, and then indirectly help Goguryeo to win respite, once Goguryeo persisted, the Northeast captives were annexed by the Turks, and the Middle Earth exhausted all its strength but made a wedding dress for the Turks in vain, and fell into a deeper crisis in the northern Xinjiang town, and was forced to do so. The Turks had to compromise with the Turks in exchange for the stability of relations between the North and the South, and in this way, the Turks won a great victory without spending a single soldier and obtained immeasurable benefits.

The wishful thinking of the nobles of the Tooth Banner played very well, but unfortunately, just when they were fantasizing about "getting something for nothing", the latest news from Youyan made them smell a hint of danger, and the situation was deviating from the direction they expected, and the degree of deviation was getting faster and faster.

The first news that alerted the Turks was that the king of Qi might be heading north to the border. This news was first spread by the Youyan wealthy family, and later quietly spread in the Youyan aristocratic circle, and there is no way to know how true it is, but there is no wind and no waves, since there are such rumors, the possibility exists.

After all, King Qi is the only prince of the Emperor of Middle-earth, and he is the prince of Middle-earth and the future emperor of Middle-earth, and the possibility of a war to seize the prince is too small, so of course the Turks will pay close attention to it and observe it closely, but the results make them unbelievable. During the First Eastern Crusade, the King of Qi did not sit in Kyoto to act as an agent for state affairs, but went out of Beijing to suppress thieves, and a prince did not act as an agent for state affairs during the emperor's expedition, what does this mean? During the Second Eastern Crusade, it was not the King of Qi who sat in the two capitals, but the two imperial grandsons, and the King of Qi was still suppressing thieves outside, which is simply unbelievable and can no longer be explained by common sense, in a sense, this means that the King of Qi should be farther and farther away from the position of the prince, rather than at his fingertips.

The Turks immediately realized that there was a fierce contradiction and conflict between the Emperor of Middle-earth and his only prince, and that the core of the political situation in Middle-earth, that is, the question of the succession to the imperial lineage, had exploded into a serious crisis, which was a good thing for the Turks and could be exploited. However, the situation changed too quickly, and before the Turks could verify and confirm the matter and take action, the father and son of the Emperor of Middle-earth appeared in Youyan at the same time, and there was a rumor that the king of Qi was going north to the border. If this rumor is true, if it becomes true, its impact on North-South relations will be too great.

From the standpoint of the Turks, it is necessary to take precautions and take precautions as early as possible, so as not to make wrong judgments and make wrong decisions in a hurry, which may seriously endanger the relations between the North and the South. For the nobles of the Qi Ji Ashina and the southeast Yaqi, the precautionary strategy is to unify their understanding, and they must correctly and soberly understand a series of major impacts on the relations between the north and the south of the Qi Dynasty, among which the negative impact is extremely great, and the deterrence of the Qi king to the foreign captives is significant, so we must find ways to eliminate these negative effects, so the tooth banner must come up with preventive measures as soon as possible, just in case.

Immediately afterward, the White Thief and the rebel army under his command came into the "sight" of the Turks.

Many sources have confirmed that the white thief is the "Kou" raised by the King of Qi, the eagle dog of the King of Qi, charging for the King of Qi. The white thief has always been active in Qilu, but not long ago, the white thief actually led the rebels to kill Youyan for thousands of miles, entered Yanbei, and captured Lingqiu Dao and Flying Fox. This is strange, this obviously has a conspiracy and an ulterior purpose. So, what is the purpose of the white thief going north to the border?

If the King of Qi's border is true and credible, then the purpose of the white thieves entering Yanbei is to attack the city for the King of Qi. This begs the question, why did the King of Qi fight on the border? Why do you drive the white thieves to attack the city on the border?

And so the Civil War was about to break out.

As the only prince of the Emperor of Middle-earth, and as the only future prince and future emperor of Middle-earth who meets the inheritance law, it is impossible for King Qi to give up his brilliant future, but now that the conflict between father and son is fierce, what should I do? The best way is to usher in a war, and the father and son work together to fight side by side, so that they can not only resolve the contradictions, but also make contributions, and inherit the imperial system as they wish, so why not do it?

In other words, the real purpose of King Qi's border may have been to detonate the Civil War. So, how to detonate a war?

The latest news tells the nobles of Qi Jishe and Yaqi that the white thieves have crossed the Sangganshui and are attacking in the northeast direction, while the main force of the Yanbei Zhenshu army is on the front line of the Great Wall, and there are not too many garrisons on the Sangganshui line in the hinterland of Yanbei, so they can't stop the white thieves from advancing in the short term. So what's next? How will the situation unfold?

Since it was necessary to detonate the war, of course, it was necessary to cross the Great Wall, go deep into the outside of the fortress, burn and kill, and plunder, so a clearly visible strategy appeared in front of the eyes of the nobles of the Banner and the Tooth Banner, that is, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and kill people with a sword.

This is the crisis, this is the danger that the Turks smell, although this is only an analysis and deduction based on the information we know, its correctness needs to be considered, and its accuracy has yet to be verified, but we cannot ignore slackness and prevent it early.

How can it be prevented? If the people of Middle-earth want to drive tigers and wolves, kill people with swords, and provoke a civil war, can they be stopped by relying only on the strength of the Banner of the Ridge and the Banner of the Southeast?
