In the eyes of the old suzerain, the deterioration of relations between the North and the South and the outbreak of the Civil War are normal. Since the Wuhu Rebellion, the wars between the North and the South have become more frequent, and China and Turkey are basically passive and on the defensive, but now that China and Turkey are unified and their national strength is booming, the balance of strength between the North and the South has changed, and China and Turkey have a certain advantage, and it stands to reason that this should be conducive to improving North-South relations. However, today's establishment in Middle-earth is too radical in its national defense strategy, changing from passive defense to active defense, and frequently attacking, which has directly intensified the contradictions between the North and the South.

However, this still does not have the conditions for the outbreak of the Civil War, after all, the desert has not suffered large-scale disasters in recent years, and the Turks have just unified the desert and need time to stabilize the situation.

However, if Middle-earth takes the initiative to provoke, or even take the initiative to provoke a war, and the northern captives have no way to retreat, they can no longer bear it, and they have to fight back, then the war between the north and the south will indeed break out.

It can be seen from the alliance's decision to go north to the Flying Fox and establish a foothold in Yanbei that Li Zixiong is not making wild remarks, and Li Fengyun is not impulsive, this is a premeditated action, and it is an intention to intensify the contradictions between the north and the south by cutting off smuggling between the north and the south, and then deliberately trigger a war between the north and the south. Why deliberately provoke a civil war? Obviously, in order to seize the imperial rule, the King of Qi is going to take risks and fight to the death.

Why did King Qi take the risk? The old sect master analyzed that King Qi was already cornered. Yang Xuangan had the shadow of King Qi behind the mutiny, and King Qi would never miss such a great opportunity, but as soon as the chess was missing, Yang Xuangan actually launched a mutiny in early June, and when the expeditionary force did not enter the battlefield of Pyongyang, he could not wait to launch a mutiny, and as a result, he sent himself to a dead end. I don't know if this is a deliberate act or a providence, in short, King Qi saw that the shape was wrong, and decisively "reined in the precipice", and turned to actively seek a way to escape.

Li Sixing told the old sect master that Li Fengyun speculated that the Holy Lord and the central center were going to launch the Third Eastern Crusade, and the King of Qi was going north to the border as a strategy for survival, which was obviously directly related to this prediction. The old suzerain scoffed at this prediction, believing that there would never be a Third Crusade.

The two successive defeats of the Eastern Crusade have exhausted the "political capital" of the Holy Lord and the center, and the authoritarian power has been completely lost, and the losses have been overwhelming, and even if the Third Eastern Crusade is launched at any cost, the results obtained by it cannot make up for the losses in the early stage, and the gains outweigh the losses. Besides, Goguryeo has been greatly damaged, although it has won, but how can a small country support such a huge war? The "leading brother" has fallen, and the little brothers of the Far Eastern captives will not be able to become the climate, so there is nothing to worry about.

The old sect master speculated that the expeditionary force would soon return to the country, and the Holy Lord and the central body would "punch" the thieves, and then concentrate on dealing with the desert captives. The Holy Lord and the Central Commander will not change their radical national defense strategy lightly, and they are very likely to launch a major war between the North and the South to defeat the "martial arts" of the desert and the northern captives to make up for the losses on the battlefield in the Far East.

It's a very operational solution, and although it is very risky, if it is successful, the benefits are even greater. The defeat of the desert captives and the victory of the Civil War were brilliant results, recorded in history, and supreme glory, while what was obtained by launching the Third Crusade was nothing more than a "fig leaf", and the two were completely incomparable.

"The so-called Third Crusade should be the smoke deliberately released by Li Fengyun in order to hide their true purpose of going north to the border." The old sect master confidently told Li Sixing, "But Li Zixiong accidentally exposed their true purpose, which was to take the initiative to provoke a civil war." ”

Li Sixing suddenly realized. At present, the most urgent thing for the Holy Lord and the center is to re-establish the authority in the shortest possible time and make up for all the losses of the Eastern Crusade, and the quickest and most effective way is to defeat the desert northern captives, but the risk of a major war between the north and the south is too great, and the resistance up and down is unimaginable.

There is no comparison between the desert and Goguryeo, and now Goguryeo is not good, dying, if the Holy Lord and the center have to forcibly launch the Third Eastern Crusade, the resistance will not be too great, after all, the risk of this battle is very small, but it is of little significance, it belongs to chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

So King Qi "debuted". The king of Qi went north to the border, the king of Qi took the initiative to provoke a war between the north and the south, and the middle earth passively met the enemy, and the holy lord and the center had to use all their national strength to fight, and there was no resistance up and down. If this battle is defeated, the blame will be borne by the king of Qi; If it is tied, the blame belongs to the king of Qi, and the credit belongs to the holy lord and the center; If he wins the war, the King of Qi has merit, and his political life may be extended, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have built outstanding martial arts, fought a beautiful turnaround, and completely reversed the decline in politics.

Although this plan is extremely risky for King Qi, it is just the favor of the Holy Lord and the center, everyone takes what they need, each takes its own benefits, tacitly cooperates, and once it succeeds, everyone will be happy. The greater the risk, the greater the reward, and instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to give it a go, and the Lord and the Center are of course happy to see it happen.

Li Sixing thought for a long time and asked, "If King Qi's analysis is wrong, and the Holy Lord and the Central Center do not want to launch the Third Eastern Crusade, nor do they intend to carry out a major war between the North and the South, how will the situation in Northern Xinjiang change?" Will the white hair be surrounded and suppressed by the Weifu army and wiped out? ”

"The white-haired move into Yanbei is very exquisite." The old sect master praised, "This move is done, and the Great War between the North and the South is inevitable." ”

Smuggling between the north and the south has always been the "heart disease" of the Holy Lord and the center, especially the desert north captives are getting stronger and stronger, and this move is tantamount to raising tigers for trouble. And Li Fengyun entered Yanbei and cut off the smuggling between the north and the south, which just hit the vital point of the Holy Lord and the center, scratched their itch, and made them want to stop. If Li Fengyun is killed, smuggling between the north and the south will not be prohibited, and raising tigers will be a problem, but if Li Fengyun is not suppressed, it will endanger the security of northern Xinjiang, and it will also be a problem of raising tigers. In order to solve his own crisis, Li Fengyun will inevitably continue to make moves, take the initiative to provoke the northern captives, and provoke a civil war.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, but Li Fengyun definitely does not have the qualifications and strength to be a fisherman, and the final profit must be the Holy Lord and the center. And can the Holy Lord and the Center resist this huge temptation of profit? The answer is self-evident, it must not be resisted, if nothing else, the king of Qi will get his wish and go north to the border, Li Fengyun is also repeatedly uneven, and finally the war between the north and the south broke out.

Li Sixing hesitated for a long time and questioned, "Bai Fa insists that the Great War between the North and the South will inevitably break out within two years, and it is not our Middle Earth that will launch the Great War in the Middle-earth, but the Northern Captives of the Great Desert, and in addition, he is not optimistic about the outcome of the Great War between the North and the South, and is even a little pessimistic. ”

"The northern captives are invading south?" The old suzerain scoffed, "During the period of division and war in Middle-earth, the strength of the overlords of all parties was not good, which gave the Northern Captives the opportunity to invade the south frequently, but now that the Middle Earth is unified and the strength is strong, the Northern Captives will not dare to go south, after all, they can't afford the consequences of defeat." Bai Fa's statement is not credible, confuses the public, and does not want to be tricked. If a major war between the north and the south really breaks out in the past two years, Middle-earth will be the best to pick one side, after all, the benefits after winning this battle are too great, and it will be an irresistible temptation for the Holy Lord and the center. ”

Li Sixing feels that both speculations are reasonable. Whether it is the invasion of the north and the south, or the initiative of Middle-earth to provoke a war, the war between the north and the south is likely to break out in the near future, and once it breaks out, the northern Xinjiang and even the entire north will be involved, which will inevitably affect the vital interests of the Li clan of Zhao County.

"If the Great War of the North and South does exist, and if it will break out soon, how do we respond? What's going to happen? Li Sixing respectfully asked for advice.

The old sect master hesitated. There is a rare opportunity in front of us, and if the Zhaojun Li clan seizes this opportunity, it will definitely be able to curb the decline and regain its strength.

It's just that this opportunity is too difficult to grasp, and the most critical question at present is not whether the Great War between the North and the South will definitely break out, but whether Middle-earth will definitely win this war after the outbreak of the war. If Middle-earth wins, and the Holy Lord and the Central Authority reverse the political crisis and stabilize their ruling position, then the Zhao Jun Li clan will be able to bring great benefits to themselves by participating in this great war with all their might; On the contrary, if they are defeated, they will not be able to gain any benefits from the "collapsed" political lord and center, and they will offend the political allies in Shandong, and they will be in a difficult situation, and they will have no power to fight back in the face of the political enemies who are "killing" violently.

After Li Fengyun arrived in Zhao County, he neither took the initiative to contact the Li family, nor did he express the slightest gratitude to the Li family, and directly vetoed the Li family's construction in terms of decision-making, and put on a posture that he had no entanglement with the Li family at all, what does this mean? Why didn't he rejecting the "goodwill" hand extended to him by the Li clan of Zhao County? Is it because after he enters Yanbei to cut off the smuggling between the north and the south, he will definitely endanger the interests of the Li clan of Zhao County, and he will inevitably tear his face with the Li clan of Zhao County, so he simply does not contact and avoids it, or is it because Li Fengyun is not optimistic about the outcome of the war between the north and the south, and is even a little pessimistic, and does not want to involve and hurt the Li clan of Zhao County, so he made a break with it?

The old suzerain thought the latter was more likely. No matter how big the power behind Li Fengyun is and what the purpose is, one thing is certain, Li Fengyun is on the "cusp", and if he is not careful, he will lose everything and die in disgrace, so without a precise certainty, Li Fengyun of course does not want to involve the Li family of Zhao County, so he never admits that he is a child of the Li family, nor does he want to have anything to do with the Li family of Zhao County.

"Wait and see." The old suzerain made a resolute decision, "Before there is no drastic change in the northern Xinjiang form, do not make any tendentious moves, so as not to give people a handle and implement the truth." ”

Li Sixing hesitated for a moment and questioned, "There is no doubt that Yanbei will undergo drastic changes soon. ”

The change of Yanbei shape shì will inevitably affect the entire northern Xinjiang shape shì, so Li Sixing has some doubts about the old sect master's decision.

"The drastic changes in the shape of Yanbei will indeed affect the shape of the northern Xinjiang, but it may not further deteriorate the relationship between the north and the south, on the contrary, it may play a role in easing the tension between the two sides, after all, the return of the north and the south is more important to the desert and the north, once the smuggling in the north of Yanbei is cut off, the amount of return will be drastically reduced, and the tooth tent is very likely to make some compromises to the Middle Earth."

Li Sixing became more and more puzzled, "In that case, why did Bai Fa infer that the Great War was about to break out?" ”

"Because the center has always had two diametrically opposed positions on the desert captives." The old sect master sighed, "Now that the main battle faction is in control of the center, the result can be imagined. ”

The main battle faction has a radical stance, once the desert northern captives compromise and retreat, they will definitely advance step by step, and the rabbits will bite people in a hurry, not to mention a group of vicious wolves that are eyeing each other, and the final result is self-evident.
