But what is the ultimate goal of Pei Shiju? Killing two birds with one stone? Use the Great War to ease the relationship between father and son, let father and son rebuild trust, and then give King Qi a chance to seize the imperial throne? But with Pei Shiju's cautious and pragmatic political style, the possibility of him taking the initiative to intervene in the battle for the imperial system is very small, just imagine the last years of the emperor, when Gao Ying and the first emperor fought on the battlefield of the battle for the imperial system, almost none of the central ministers and generals of the imperial court were spared, and they were all swept into the storm.
However, in terms of politics, as long as you have a relationship with the King of Qi, whether you want to or not, you will be counted as the "blacklist" of the imperial battle, so if this layout is designed by Pei Shiju, then Pei Shiju will be involved in the imperial dispute, but this is obviously contrary to Pei Shiju's political style that has adhered to for decades.
If you don't understand something, you don't want to think about it for the time being, and the problem of not being able to deduce the truth will be put aside for the time being, after all, Pei Shiju is a political veteran who has gone through four dynasties, and his age, qualifications, wisdom, and power are not comparable to ordinary magnates, even Su Wei, who is also the head of the central government, is older than Pei Shiju, and it is difficult to compare with him in terms of political wisdom. Being able to coldly watch the victors of the year, such as Gao Ying, Yu Qingze, Yang Xiong and other political bigwigs, fall one after another, which in itself is a political miracle, and those who create miracles are all legends, and they are the ones who are looked up to.
But there is one thing that must be understood, otherwise even if King Qi has to go out and go all the way to the dark, Wei and Li will have to rein in the precipice, and they can't commit crazy suicide with King Qi.
The premise of implementing the outsider strategy is that the Eastern Crusade failed, and it was a continuous defeat, so why did Pei Shiju believe that the Eastern Crusade would lose continuously?
According to the information provided by the white thief, there are two main reasons why this year's crusade may fail, one is that the wrong attack strategy was chosen at the wrong time, and the other is that there are traitors in the center. This is a bit reliable, from a military point of view alone, your own side is already at a disadvantage, if you are a little unlucky, or if there is a mistake in command, it is a sure defeat.
Then there is a second crusade, which is also reliable. For the Holy Lord and the Center, the Eastern Crusade must continue, and the Eastern Crusade must be victorious, which is determined by the domestic and foreign situation, and is not swayed by the will of any political force, so if the Eastern Crusade fails this year, there will indeed be a second Eastern Crusade.
The reason for the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade, predicted by the white thief, was that the opposition forces in the Eastern Capital mutinied, and the civil war broke out, and as a result, the Second Eastern Crusade returned in vain. This is not very reliable, although the opposition forces do have the intention of overthrowing the Holy Lord to destroy the reform, although the timing of the mutiny during the Second Eastern Crusade is indeed good, but this risk is too great, during the Eastern Crusade, there are tens of thousands of elite garrisons stationed in the two capitals, and the two capitals are difficult to overcome, and secondly, the number of expeditionary forces is huge, and the Holy Lord only needs to draw a part of the troops to return to Beijing to fight the rebellion, in the face of absolute strength, the rebels are vulnerable. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, the Xijing garrison is basically in the hands of the local forces in Guanlong, as long as the local nobles in Guanlong do not rebel, Xijing is impregnable, but what about the eastern capital? Are the Eastern Capital Garrison absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord? Is the Eastern Capital impregnable?
"Our decisions must not be based on predictions about the future."
Wei Yunqi's attitude was resolute and unquestionable, and others could not find a reason to oppose it.
"Now there are only three months left before the winter in the Far East, and whether the expeditionary force can conquer Pyongyang will have results in three months." Wei Yunqi continued, "If the white thief's prediction is wrong, it is enough to show that we have fallen into the white thief's delaying tactics and the trap of the Shandong people
King Qi agreed, and Wei Fusi and the others nodded again and again. At that time, the white thief will be killed at any cost, and all the secrets will be buried forever, although there is indeed a connection between the white thief and Pei Shiju, but the white thief's actions prove that he is helping the Shandong people to deal with the King of Qi and the local forces of Guanlong, this is an undying hatred, Guanlong people must completely kill the white thief and his alliance for their own interests, as for whether it will violate Pei Shiju's interests after killing, it is no longer a concern, first save yourself.
"If the White Thief's prediction is correct, this year's Eastern Crusade is indeed lost, and the Holy Lord is going to launch a second Eastern Crusade, how will we make a decision?"
King Qi asked very directly, which showed that he was in a very urgent mood and was full of expectations for the strategy of living outside. In a sense, the strategy of outreach is where his hope lies, if he wants to completely turn over, completely escape from the political prison, and completely reverse his fate, this is the only feasible strategy, of course, at present, this strategy is still in the air, and there is no basis for trust.
Wei Yunqi's expression became more and more solemn, "If the white thief's prediction is correct, this year's Eastern Crusade is indeed lost, and the Holy Lord will launch the Second Eastern Crusade, then at least it can be proved that the white thief did not help the Shandong people to design and frame us, and we still do not have enough evidence to prove that the white thief's strategy is one of the layouts made by Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) for the Northern and Southern War, but the policy of living outside has given us a direction that leads to heaven, we must not only resolutely implement the policy of living outside, but also create conditions for this, Make every effort to create all the conditions that can create zào. ”
King Qi understood, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and Wei Fusi and the others also understood, their eyes were bright, like a fierce beast that saw its prey, and involuntarily showed its hideous and sharp fangs in excitement.
If we want to successfully implement the strategy of being outside, the key is the defeat of the Second Crusade. It is precisely because of the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade that the deterioration of the situation at home and abroad has suddenly accelerated, and it is unstoppable, and the internal and external troubles of Middle-earth have both exploded, and they are deeply trapped in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and the Holy Lord and the Central Center have fallen into irreversible passivity militarily and politically, and in the face of the upcoming Great War between the North and the South, they can only launch the Third Eastern Crusade to break the alliance between the Turks and the Far Eastern captives, so that the Northern Xinjiang Zhenjun Army can avoid the danger of fighting on two fronts in the Great War of the North and the South, so that they can concentrate all their forces and the Northern Capture Army to fight a decisive battle on the Great Wall of Daibei.
That is to say, the white thief's pessimistic prediction of the future situation in Middle-earth is based on the defeat of the Second Eastern Crusade, and these predictions are "visible to the naked eye", even Wei Fusi, Wei Yunqi and other powerful political figures also admit the accuracy of these predictions, so Wei Yunqi's so-called conditions for creating a zào are "conditions to go up, and conditions for creating a place without conditions to go up", the white thief's prediction of the future is actually Webster's guide to action, and Webster will also push the opposition forces in the Eastern Capital to mutiny during the Second Eastern Crusade at any cost. Or create other political events to further worsen the domestic situation, in short, make sure that the Second Eastern Crusade falls short.
Even if there is no Third Eastern Crusade, even if the Great War between the North and the South will not break out immediately, with the passive situation of the Holy Lord and the center, if you want to ease the relationship between the North and the South and stabilize the situation in the frontier, you must restore the national strength in the shortest possible time, and to restore the national strength, you must stabilize the political situation and the domestic situation in the Eastern Capital, so they can only make huge compromises in politics, and there is no other way to do this. As one of the largest political forces in the court, the local aristocratic group in Guanlong naturally wanted to maximize their interests, and putting the king of Qi as the prince was the best way to achieve this goal. For Merriam-Webster, this is a perfect plan, and for King Qi, it is a perfect ending, if it can be successful, everyone will be happy, of course, they must go all out.
Wei Fusi appeared in the alliance camp as quickly as possible, and started the third round of negotiations with Li Fengyun.
Merriam-Webster's high efficiency surprised Li Fengyun. In the past two rounds of negotiations, he gave Webster a lot of information, although these messages are all deductions for the future, and these deductions are not all based on the facts that can be seen at present, but with Webster's understanding of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, the situation in China and Turkey, and the relationship between the North and the South, he will definitely accept these deductions, seriously consider their credibility, and then come up with corresponding countermeasures. This obviously took time, but Wei Fusi came in a blink of an eye, which made Li Fengyun excited and full of hope for the strategy to save Middle-earth that appeared after a flash of inspiration. It is true that he can't be the savior of Middle-earth, but the King of Qi can, and so can the local aristocratic group of Guanlong who support the King of Qi.
In order to win Li Fengyun's trust and establish enough trust with Li Fengyun, Wei Fusi adopted a frank approach, spoke bluntly, and spread out.
First of all, you must have the support of a wealthy family in Shandong behind you; Secondly, there must be some kind of connection between you and Wenxi Gong Pei Shiju; Third, it is impossible to guess the true purpose of your dedication to the outside world, but the King of Qi has an absolute advantage, controls the initiative, and is not afraid of your suspicion at all.
Li Fengyun was surprised. This misunderstanding is a bit big, Li Mi linked him with the late Bohai Gong Gao Ying, but Wei Shi associated him with Pei Shiju, the ruling of the dynasty, Wen Xigong, which was too unexpected, which couldn't help but make him think of that person again, could that person really be related to Gao Ying and Pei Shiju? Li Fengyun searched through the complicated memories as quickly as possible, and it turned out that there was really some unknown secret between that person and Gao Ying, Pei Shiju, Yu Wenshu, and the Turks, but there were too few relevant memories, and the few clues could not build a complete chain of evidence at all.
But Li Fengyun was interested. Li Mi has such a guess, and Wei Fusi also has a similar guess, it can be seen that the identity of that person is not ordinary, and now that he is determined to use their misunderstanding to realize his plan, the identity of that person has become the key, so it is necessary to check it carefully, and if it is clear, there may be an unexpected joy and can give himself a great help.
Wei Fusi gave Li Fengyun three months, if the Eastern Expedition failed in three months, Li Fengyun's prediction was correct, the two sides formally cooperated, Li Fengyun helped the King of Qi to implement the strategy of outreach, and the King of Qi gave Li Fengyun the return he needed, on the contrary, if the Eastern Expedition won three months later, Li Fengyun's prediction was pure nonsense, humiliating the King of Qi and Wei, then he would be met with crazy revenge, and the King of Qi would definitely cut off Li Fengyun's head to wash away the shame
Li Fengyun agreed, and the two sides immediately bargained for temporary cooperation within three months.
Wei Fusi asked Li Fengyun to evacuate the Tongji Canal, abandon the Shouji and Hehe lines, and return to Mengshan.
Li Fengyun categorically refused, the alliance can withdraw from the Tongji Canal, but it must stick to the line of Ji and He, and the initiative on the battlefield cannot be given up, which is related to the survival of the alliance.
Wei Fusi clearly told Li Fengyun that if you can't abandon the line of defending Ji and He, I will not be able to recover Jiyin County, and whether I can recover Jiyin County in the shortest possible time directly affects the career of Wei Yunqi and Wei Baoluan, especially Wei Baoluan, who is too shou of Jiyin, if he can keep his career and continue to stay in the Central Plains, it will be very beneficial to the outreach of King Qi.
Li Fengyun thought for a long time and came up with a compromise strategy, the two sides took Heshui as the boundary, the south of Heshui belonged to the king of Qi, and the north of Heshui returned to the alliance, the alliance did not intrude on Jishui, and the king of Qi did not approach Surabaya, and the two sides fought on both sides of Heshui.
"Good" Wei Fusi made a final decision and swore an oath with Li Fengyun.
