Chapter 727: The Scapegoat

readx;

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, at noon, Andriol returned to the border city "safe and sound", and the first thing he saw was not the businessmen who were anxiously waiting for his reply, but the Yanbei giant Jia Jianbo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It can be seen from Jian Bo's expression that he failed, and Huaihuang Town rejected his conditions and did not allow border merchants to enter the fortress for refuge, but Andriol still asked with a hint of illusion, "How is this trip?" ”

Jian Bo shook his head with a wry smile, and said indignantly, "If you don't save yourself when you see death, it's better to be a beast." ”

This was expected by Andriol, since Middle-earth wanted to fight the northeast, to launch a small-scale war, to seize the advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south, it was natural to contain and weaken the Turks, and the purpose of Li Fengyun's battle out of the fortress was exactly this, not only to contain the southeast tooth banner, to cut off the smuggling channels in Yanbei, but also to severely crack down on the Han merchants who walked between the north and the south, so that the Turks could not rescue the northeast because of the lack of materials, and could not compete with the people for control of the northeast.

This is the desperate plan, Li Fengyun is the executor, and the defenders of Huaihuang Town are also the executors, the two sides are black, white, bright and dark, tacitly cooperated, and directly pushed the Han merchants in the border market into a desperate situation. Fortunately, Li Fengyun is ambitious, and he plans to strengthen himself by being someone else's "knife", which gives the Han merchants in the border market a ray of life.

"You see the white-haired thief?" Jian Bo saw Andriol's solemn expression, and he didn't see any joy, and his mood was even heavier.

"See." Andriol said with a blank face.

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Jian Bo's heart, and he asked eagerly, "Does the white-haired thief accept our conditions?" ”

Andriol didn't answer, he looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to listen to?" ”

"Good news." Jian Bo said without thinking.

"The good news is, I see the knife."

"Knives?" Jian Bo was puzzled, then woke up, and couldn't help but exclaim, "He's still alive?" He's not dead? Isn't he dead? He came back from the dead? Oh my God, why didn't he die? Why can't he die? Jian Bo was in pain and indignant, and opened his arms and shouted at Andriol, "Is there any heavenly reason?" Why didn't he die? Why does the ghost linger and plague us year after year? ”

Andriol didn't say a word, and let Jian Bo vent to his heart's content. Jian Bo roared a few times, then calmed down and accepted this fact, anyway, it was not the first time that the knife had resurrected the corpse, and he was used to his resurrection.

"That's really good news." Jian Bo sighed bitterly, "Especially at this moment, we do need his help to escape from death, although the cost may be too great, but it is better than ashes." At this point he looked at Andriol and asked, "Where is he?" Where did you meet him? ”

Andriol's expression was gloomy and his tone was very low, "That's the bad news. ”

Jian Bo was puzzled again, "What's the explanation?" ”

Andriol looked at him and said word by word, "A knife is a white-haired thief, and a white-haired thief is a knife." ”

Jian Bo's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth moved a few times and he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound after all, and he could only use all his strength to "digest" this incredible "bad news", the knife is a white-haired thief? How is this possible? How could there be such an unthinkable thing?

After a long time, Jian Bo once again accepted the facts, the knife is an immortal legend, has the ability to turn decay into magic, and more unbelievable things have happened in the past, as for the resurrection from the dead, it is even more rare and not surprising, so it is not uncommon for the knife to turn into a white-haired thief today, it is completely acceptable, so he stabilized his emotions and asked, "He accepted our conditions?" ”

"He gave us a condition." Andriol said.

"What conditions?" Jian Bo asked impatiently.

Andriol explained the conditions set by Li Fengyun and its causes and consequences. Jian Bo fell into a stupor again, although he had already estimated that the Huaihuang crisis was directly related to the tension between the North and the South, but in any case, he did not expect that the inside story would be so complicated, and the pace of the Civil War would be so close. Of course, the more fierce the confrontation between the north and the south, it means that the more opportunities to make money for the Han merchants, the greater the risks, the greater the returns, even if life and death hang in the balance, the businessmen are in danger of dying at any time, but in the face of the temptation of huge benefits, they can't refuse, they will only go forward and succeed, like moths throwing fire, at any cost.

Jian Bo quickly made a decision, such a huge business opportunity cannot be missed, must be firmly grasped, both to save lives, but to make a fortune, such a good thing is not everywhere, but a once-in-a-lifetime ah, although the risk is indeed a little bigger, but it is completely worth a fight, after all, Li Fengyun is extraordinary, especially now he has become the first thief in Middle-earth with an army of tens of thousands, and what is even more incredible is that he has the joint support of the emperor of Middle-earth and the future prince of Middle-earth behind him, so powerful, Indeed, it is possible to make waves outside the Saiwai and even claim the title of king.

"So the Great War of the North and the South is about to break out?" Jane Bo seemed to be drawing conclusions, as if he were asking Andriol.

"According to the Knife, the Great War of the North and the South was within two years." Andriol looked serious and said in a solemn tone, as if he agreed with this inference, "We can not believe in the knife hidden in the dark, but we can't not believe Pei Shiju in Middle-earth, and we can't not believe Shi Shu Huxi in the tooth tent. Dao said that Pei Shiju had already traveled west to the western soil, and according to the consistent practice of Middle Earth, it was nothing more than to provoke the fight between the two Turks in the east and west, so that the snipe and the clam could compete with each other and the fisherman would benefit, and the tooth tent faced the sharp offensive of Middle Earth, the sense of crisis was very strong, and he had been looking for an opportunity to strike first. In this way, it is not difficult to foresee that in order to contain and attack Middle-earth, the Eastern and Western Turks are very likely to take advantage of the exhaustion of Middle-earth's successive expeditions to join forces to attack Middle-earth and inflict heavy damage on Middle-earth, so as to weaken the great threat of Middle-earth to them to the greatest extent. ”

Jian Bo bowed his head again and again, agreeing with Andriol's analysis, and was full of expectations for the future development of the situation between the north and the south. War is fought with money, that is, grain and grass weapons, and grain and grass weapons are inseparable from merchants in the process of raising, transportation and hoarding, especially the desert tribes are more dependent on Han and Han merchants, this is the business opportunity within reach, that is, the money at your fingertips, the temptation is too great. However, the top priority and the current practical problem is that he must save his own life, must compromise with Li Fengyun, agree to Li Fengyun's conditions, and stand on Li Fengyun's side to advance and retreat with Li Fengyun. It's just that what if Li Fengyun fails? Therefore, we must find a safe way out for ourselves, and we can't bury Li Fengyun with you, otherwise what's the point of having gold and silver but not being able to take it for yourself?

"According to your judgment, what will the Turks do next in the face of the attack of this Middle-earth rebel army?" Jian Bo asked, "Will Ji Ji Sheh attack with all his strength and encircle and suppress on all sides, or will he retreat and avoid without fighting?" Or is it that the soldiers are divided into two routes, one way to support Bu Lishe, to help the Xi people stop the Middle-earth army, and all the way to the Lightning River to prevent the Middle-earth rebels from causing chaos in the southeast? ”

After a moment of deep groaning, Andriol said, "The undisguised use of the Middle-earth people to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and kill people with the sword, if the Turks do not besiege and kill on all sides at any cost, they will inevitably fall into the middle of the scheme. Once he is in the middle of the plan, he will lose both with the rebels in Middle-earth, his strength will be greatly reduced, and the position of the commander of the tooth banner will be in jeopardy, and at the same time, he will not be able to support the three tribes in the Northeast in time, so he can only let Middle-earth defeat the three tribes in the Northeast, annex the land of the Northeast, and let the interests of the Turks suffer serious losses, which is a major mistake, and the responsibility is serious, and it will inevitably endanger the power of the Middle-earth in the tooth tent, so I think that from the position of the Commander, his countermeasure should be to retreat and avoid fighting, only in this way can he preserve his strength, At the same time, taking into account the interests of the conservative faction in the tent, the current North-South relationship was maintained with compromise and forbearance, and the outbreak of the North-South War was delayed as much as possible, so as to buy more time for the Turks to develop and grow. ”

Jian Bo immediately questioned, "If Middle Earth sends troops to Gubeikou, troops to Anzhou, and the sword is aimed at the three ethnic groups in the northeast, in fact, it has already torn its face with the Turks, how can Ji Jishe's forbearance be exchanged for peace between the north and the south?" ”

"What if you tear your face? What about turning against each other? Middle-earth has the strength to launch a major war between the North and the South, but does the desert have the courage to carry out a great war? With today's three-legged trend, once the Turks in the desert are caught between the east and west of Middle-earth and the Western Turks, they will inevitably repeat the mistake of falling apart. Andriol sneered, "There is a saying in the knife that is right, if the Turks in the desert want to start a great war between the north and the south, the premise is that the two Turks in the east and west must form a strong alliance and work together to unite with the outside world, otherwise relying on the power of one Turk alone to carry out a great war between the north and the south, there is only one result, either death or injury, and they will seek their own death." ”

"But as you just said, if Middle-earth defeats the three tribes of the Northeast and controls the Northeast, the interests of the Turks will inevitably be seriously damaged, and it will be unforgivable for him to avoid fighting without fighting, which will inevitably endanger his position in the Tooth Tent." Jian Bo continued to question, "Could it be that if Ji Ji preserved his own strength, he would be able to preserve his power in the tooth tent?" ”

"Of course not." "But now there is one of the best scapegoats by his side. ”

Jian Bo suddenly realized, "Shi Shu Huxi? ”

Andriel nodded, "The knife has clearly told me that Middle-earth wants to recover Anzhou and control the northeast, and his purpose in leaking this secret is obvious, that is, to remind Ji Sheh to find a scapegoat immediately, otherwise Ji Ji Sheh will be in trouble and will not escape." ”

"Tacit cooperation, each taking its own benefits, and working together to calculate Shi Shu Huxi." Jian Bo smiled, "Good strategy, in this way, even if we agree to the conditions of the knife and advance and retreat with the knife for the time being, we will not completely offend Ji Sheh and form a life and death grudge with the Turks." ”

Andriol glanced at him and asked solemnly, "Are you willing to accept the terms of the knife?" ”

"Is there a choice?" Jian Bo asked rhetorically.

"The knife has ambitions, very big ambitions." Andriol admonished.

Jian Bo was surprised, "Do you suspect that the knife has other plans?" ”

"If he hadn't lied to me, he would have really gone around in a big circle to attack Anzhou, and counted Middle-earth and the Turks together......"

Before Andriol finished speaking, Jian Bo's face changed, if this is the case, this pit is too big to dig, and everyone is in trouble.
