Chapter 730: To Each His Own Mind
The most fundamental reason why Shi Shu Huxi had no intention of rushing to the Northeast was that Middle-earth attacking the Northeast and occupying the Northeast was actually a situation that he was willing to promote and worked hard to promote. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info.
The radical faction in the Tooth Tent, led by Shibi Khan, was seriously pessimistic about peace between the North and the South. Since the Civil War will definitely break out, the Turks might as well strike first, strike first, turn passive into active, take the initiative to provoke the Civil War, take advantage of the loss of national strength of the repeated expeditions in Middle-earth, hit Middle-earth by surprise, deal a heavy blow to Middle-earth, and then win a better development environment and a longer time for growth.
From this point of view, the Tooth Tent will show the enemy weakness diplomatically, first paralyze and deceive Middle-earth, pretend to be afraid of Middle-earth, fear war, compromise everywhere, and at the same time actively prepare for war militarily, frequently disturb the Great Wall, and even induce small-scale conflicts under the pretense of others, so that on the one hand, it can continue to deteriorate the relations between the North and the South, so as to combat and weaken the opposition forces within the Tooth Tent, and concentrate on war, and on the other hand, it can continue to consume the Middle-earthers, so that the Middle-earth people have to drag their tired bodies to continue the war after the end of the Eastern Crusade, just waiting for the right time. and unleash a fatal blow.
Now is the time in the tooth tent's favor. Because of the successive years of the eastward crusade, the internal and external troubles detonated, there were increasingly fierce rebellions inside, and there were fierce counterattacks by the Western Turks and Tuyuhun people outside, and the countermeasure of the solution in Middle-earth was nothing more than to compromise with the Western Turks, and then unite with the Western Turks to attack the desert and provoke the fight between the Eastern and Western Turks, so as to gain profits from the fishermen and win themselves respite. Of course, the tooth tent will not be tied, sit back and wait to die, the tooth tent's counterattack means is to treat its people with humanity, you unite with the Western Turks to fight me, I will buy the Western Turks to attack you, so that the war between the north and the south is close at hand.
Therefore, Shi Shu Huxi rushed to the southeast of the moraine to undertake an important mission, and he had to faithfully carry out the established strategy of the tooth tent to ensure that the Turks could seize the opportunity to increase their chances of victory in the Great Northern War, and the best way was to provoke a skirmish. However, once the conflict breaks out, it is difficult to control and easy to get out of control, so in order to minimize the risks and losses, the best way is to use the knife to kill people, lead the water to the east, use the strength of the three tribes in the northeast to consume the people of Middle-earth, transfer the battlefield of conflict to the northeast, and continue to drag Middle-earth in the quagmire of war and find it difficult to extricate itself.
If Middle-earth is stuck in the northeast battlefield with one foot, and continues to fight with the three prisoners in the northeast, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, and it is impossible to quickly annex them, and it is impossible to actually control the northeast region, it is equivalent to shooting itself in the foot, not only can it not reverse the passive situation of the entire northern Xinjiang in time, but it will become even more passive, so it will inevitably affect the foot of Middle-earth that stretches into the western soil. The Western Turks are staggering and precarious, and have lost the possibility of flanking the desert, so of course they will not be stupid enough to charge into battle alone, and they will definitely change their ways, and instead join forces with the Turks in the desert, and first knock down Middle-earth together and deal a heavy blow to Middle-earth. In this way, the purpose of the Western Turks was achieved, and the Civil War was successfully provoked, and the fighting between the Turks of Middle-earth and the Great Desert was provoked; And the purpose of the desert tent was also achieved, with the help of the Western Turks, it hit Middle-earth hard, and won the space and time for itself to develop and grow.
Therefore, after Shi Shuhu learned that he had arrived at the southeast Yaqi of the moraine, he first propagated the theory of the threat of Middle-earth, and then with the help of the changes in the situation in northern Yanbei, he made the inference that Middle-earth was going to attack the northeast and launch a small-scale war.
In order to provoke the fight between the Eastern and Western Turks, the Middle Turks must first persuade the Western Turks to attack the desert with the Middle Earth, and must create "conditions" that can convince the Western Turks, and the best way is to launch a small-scale war in the north of Xinjiang, and fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts in the desert, but under the current situation, the Middle Turks are worried about internal and external troubles, and will never personally go into battle to fight with the desert Turks, so in order to avoid a frontal conflict with the desert Turks, the only object that can be attacked is the Northeast Sanyu. It just so happened that the Turks were "showing weakness" and blindly compromising in order to maintain relations between the north and the south, making compromises, and even avoiding war, so how could the people of China miss such an opportunity to capture the northeast?
Of course, the Middle-earth people still have "internal worries" to deal with, and they are also worried about angering the desert Turks, which will lead to the Eastern and Western Turks joining forces to attack Middle-earth, and the situation will be turned upside down, so from the perspective of security, the Middle-earth people may also give up this best opportunity to capture the northeast.
This is where Shi Shu and Hu Xi exhausted. His mission was to attract the Middle-earthers to the northeastern battlefield, provoke a small-scale war, and drag the Middle-earthers into the quagmire of war, so that the Middle-earthers could not fight the desert with the Western Turks, and the desert tooth tent could use its own way to govern its people, and in turn join forces with the Western Turks to attack the Middle-earth. If the Turks won the Great War between the North and the South and hit Middle-earth hard, the three ethnic groups in the Northeast who were used as bait before would naturally become the pockets of the Turks, so they could get the Northeast without much effort, and the Middle-earth people worked hard and finally made a "wedding dress" for the Turks, wanting to cry without tears.
However, considering that the Guardians of the Tooth Tent and the faction were all pro-Middle-earth, and that many people, including Princess Koga Tun Yoshisei, maintained secret contacts with the high-level Middle-earth, Shi Shu Huxi did not dare to reveal his true mission and true intentions under any circumstances, lest the secret leak fall short.
Now that Ashina is going to "drive" him away and ask him to support the Northeast, of course Shi Shu Huxi will not leave. At present, the key to the situation in the entire northern Xinjiang of China and Turkey lies in Yanbei, and every move of the Northeast Tooth Banner, which is in frontal confrontation with Yanbei, will affect the development of the situation in the north and south. If Shi Shu Hu Xi wants to achieve his goal, he must influence or even control the decision-making of the southeast Yaqi of the moraine, and then manipulate the situation between the north and the south to develop in a direction favorable to the desert.
Shi Shu Hu Xi knew the reason why Ashina was in a hurry and drove him to the Northeast. The struggle between the radical main battle faction and the conservative main peace faction in the tooth tent is fierce, especially in the current and foreseeable general trend of the three-legged tripartite situation in the world, whether it is actively carrying out a war between the north and the south or actively maintaining peace between the north and the south, there are pros and cons, as for which strategy is more advantageous and which strategy is more disadvantageous, the two sides insist on their own words, and no one can convince anyone, so they are fighting openly and secretly, and they are trying to influence the supreme decision-making of the tooth tent.
It is not difficult to infer that if Middle-earth really wants to attack the northeast and occupy the northeast, these three people have the choice to compromise and endure. The southeast side of the moraine is contained by the garrison army of Yanbei Town, Ashina can find various excuses to prevaricate and delay the support of the northeast, and the Xi and Khitan people in the northeast are fighting fiercely, Bu Lishe also has an excuse to retreat to the land of the Xi people, let the people of the Middle Earth slaughter the Xi and Khitans, sweep the south bank of the weak Luoshui, and actually control most of the northeast. In this way, Middle-earth has gained an advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south, and this advantage will force the radical main battle faction to make a compromise in order to maintain peace between the north and the south to ensure the tripartite situation of the world.
But if the Northeast is lost, who will bear the responsibility? Of course, the three of Ashina Simo and Ashina Duer's uncle and nephew were unwilling to bear this responsibility and did not want to lose their army and power, so they blamed Shi Shu Huxi and wanted to dig a pit to bury him.
In fact, Shi Shu Huxi was willing to take the responsibility for the loss of the Northeast, but the premise was that the Turks must give strong support to the three tribes in the Northeast to help the Northeast captives drag the Middle-earth people on the battlefield in the Northeast and continue to consume the Middle-earthers. The Turks had no intention of competing with Middle-earth for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and the consumption of Middle-earth talents was the ultimate goal of the tooth tent, and it did not matter whether the Northeast was lost or not. However, what made Shi Shu Hu Xi angry and helpless was that in order to maintain the right to speak in the tooth tent, Ashina Simo and Ashina Er must preserve their own strength, so they could never fight with the Middle-earthers, and they would never be able to make the radical main battle faction of the Tooth Tent profitable, and they would even think that the purpose of Shi Shu Huxi's small-scale war was to kill people with a knife, that is, to weaken them with the "knife" of the Middle-earth people, and then achieve the purpose of killing two birds with one stone and killing multiple birds with one stone, with ill intentions.
After Shi Shuhu weighed many things, he solemnly replied to Ashina, "I can't solve any problems by going to the Northeast alone, and what Bu Lishe needs is not my personal help, but an army." ”
Ashina's aggressive face suddenly became difficult Hu Xi counterattacked sharply, pointing to the point, but Ashina was absolutely impossible to agree to this reasonable request.
"So far, there is no evidence to prove that the Emperor of Middle-earth stayed in Youzhou to attack the Northeast." Ashina held back his anger and said in a low tone, "All the news so far has confirmed that the white-haired thief is about to leave the fortress, the king of Qi of Middle-earth is about to arrive at the Great Wall, and we are about to start a fight with the people of Middle-earth, so I need an army, a large number of troops." ”
Ashina refused aggressively.
"In that case, do I need to rush to the Northeast with 100,000 troops? Of course I'm going to stay and make a plan for you. As long as we can annihilate the white-haired thief in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, we will have the initiative, we can form a threat to Yanbei, and we can support the northeast at any time, and we can take care of both the left and right. Shi Shuhu's gloomy Ashina glanced at him, and added quietly, "If you want to call the police to Bu Lishe, one urgent letter and one messenger are enough." ”
Ashina Simo was nervous, and hurriedly came forward to "play a round": "Now what we want to solve is the crisis in the southeast of the moraine, and the northeast side will let it go for the time being, and we will not consider it for the time being." How do we respond to the rebels in Middle-earth? If we are to encircle and kill with all our might, do we want to lure the enemy deeper to exhaust the enemy army and reduce our own losses? If you lure the enemy deeper, where is the battlefield? ”
