Two years of Middle-earth Crusade to the East, two attacks on Buyeo City, and finally fell short and returned in vain. An important reason is the support of the Khitan and the Yatar people for Goguryeo, especially the Khitan, because it borders western and eastern Liaoning, and during the Eastern Crusade of China, the border of Chen soldiers posed a certain threat to Middle-earth, which restrained part of the forces of Middle-earth, and made Middle-earth angry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But the Khitans were very cunning, and seeing that Goguryeo was no longer good, they immediately turned around and wagked their tails and begged for mercy from the Turks, winning the strong support of the Turks, and resolutely not giving Middle-earth an excuse to attack it.

However, the Khitans are like a thorn, thorned in the back of Middle Earth, and they can't be pulled out, which is very uncomfortable. Middle Earth is worried about it, and wants to find an excuse to destroy the Khitans and pull out the thorn in the back, but the Khitans are now a powerful other part of the Turks, and fighting the Khitan is equivalent to fighting the Donghu and Turks, and the consequences are very serious, so the Middle Earth has never found a chance to start.

"The northeast has been chaotic, the Xi Lu has been defeated, the Donghu people are panicked and take care of themselves, and the Turks in the southeast of the moraine have been pinned down by Anzhou, which is the best opportunity for us to attack the Khitan." Feng Deyi's finger tapped on Fuyu City, and continued, "Anzhou Xingshi mobilized the people to go north to conquer, and the first target must be the Khitan captives who can no longer fight, and the Khitan captives must go down the weak Luo River in order to avoid the edge, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. The Anju army pursued relentlessly, and the Khitans had no choice but to retreat into Goguryeo and enter Buyeo City to win respite. ”

Yu Shiji comprehended, stroked his beard and smiled, and then Feng Deyi's words said, "We took the opportunity to attack Fuyu City, and the Khitans were charged with joining forces with Goguryeo to fight against us, so they blocked the mouths of the Turks. Then we took Buyeo City, and the Anzhou army before and after the Khitan captive, even if the Khitan captives escaped from the sky, it was also a slump, and it could not pose a threat to our Middle Earth for a long time in the future, and more importantly, the defeat of the Khitan captives could make Anzhou no longer have to worry about the future, and could concentrate on attacking Buli Shea Ashina and the Sul, so the chances of victory were greatly increased. ”

"It's not that the odds are great, it's that the odds are certain." Feng Deyi said with a smile, "After defeating the Khitan, my Liaodong army can use the excuse of killing the traitors, advance rapidly along the weak Luoshui, and form a flanking attack on the Turks and the captives. ”

Yu Shiji nodded, and waved lightly, "When the spring flowers bloom next year, the Turks will attack in a big way, and the Anzhou army will be able to defend on all fronts, and our Liaodong army will leap on both sides of the weak Luoshui River, nominally to kill the traitors, but in fact, it will form a north-south echo trend with Anzhou, so that we will have enough confidence to block the Turks outside the northeast, so that the expected goal of the battle out of the fortress will be fully achieved, and the results can be described as brilliant." ”

Speaking of this, Yu Shiji's face turned full, and his words changed abruptly, "Is this strategy feasible?" If it is not feasible, we will not only fail to convince the Holy Lord and the Rulers, but will remain a laughing stock and lose face. ”

Both of them were civilian officials, and although they had a wide range of knowledge, read through military books, and knew a little about military affairs, the gap between theory and practice was too great for them to talk about military affairs on paper

"It doesn't matter if it's feasible." Feng Deyi said unhurriedly, "In the process of persuasion, we only need to grasp two key points, one is to take this opportunity to eradicate the Khitan, the shameless Eastern Hu barbarian, which is the itch of the Holy Lord, the Center and the Wei Mansion, and the second is to use this as an excuse to start the preparations for the Third Crusade, and turn the early expectations into established facts, which will not only help the Holy Lord and the Center to pass the decision of the Third Crusade, but also complete all the preparations for the Third Crusade in advance. For example, we will first cross the Liaoshui River and capture Buyeo and Xincheng, an important town in the northwest of Goguryeo, so that when the Third Eastern Crusade begins, we only need to concentrate our forces on Pyongyang, so that our attack speed will be faster, and there will be more troops to attack Pyongyang, and we can even surround Pyongyang before the rainy season arrives, and end this three-year expedition with an unprecedented victory, and this is also the heart disease of the Holy Lord, the Center and the Guardian Palace. ”

Yu Shiji smiled, meaningful. Feng Deyi is worthy of being a "tumbler" in the political arena, this means of figuring out the will and doing what he likes, is the secret of the prosperity of the official fortune, but this means seems simple, if you want to use it to the realm of perfection and spirituality, it is difficult and difficult, and Feng Deyi is undoubtedly one of the "masters", at this moment even Yu Shiji is also sighing at himself. Does it matter how you attack the enemy? Is it important that the strategy must conform to military common sense? In fact, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is whether the strategy can achieve political goals and achieve political interests, otherwise no matter how subtle it is and how beautiful the result is, it will not help, on the contrary, there is? Can help the enemy.

"Good!" After Yu Shiji thought about it for a while, he immediately decided, "I personally went to King Xin'an (Xiao Yu) and persuaded him to increase his support for Anzhou, but the Wei Mansion ......"

There are too many military "hills", the factions are too complicated, and it is too difficult to seek support, and as far as this matter itself is concerned, the military first considers the feasibility of the strategy, and then the political need, after all, the realization of political goals is based on military victory, if the strategy is not feasible, it will undoubtedly fail, so what political needs are there to talk about?

Of course, although the military forces are complicated, the military commanders who are currently at the core of the center are all cronies of the Holy Lord, as long as the Holy Lord insists, they will not object, but at this moment it happens to be in a special period, in order to launch the Third Eastern Crusade, in order to win the support of the military, under the pretext of discussing the adjustment of the national defense strategy under the rapid changes in the situation between the north and the south, he issued a "summons" to many commanders of the Twelve Guards, and recently a large number of Guards generals rushed to Gaoyang Palace from all directions, Among them were the commanders of the expeditionary force such as Yang Yichen, the right Yiwei general, Li Jing, the right Wuwei general, Xue Shixiong, the left imperial guard general, and Zhang Jin, the right imperial guard general, who came from Liaodong, as well as the military department squire Lang Mingya, the left Yiwei general Yu Wenshu, the right Yiwei general Lai Huer, the left Yiwei general Guo Zihe, the right Xiaowei general Li Hun, the left Wuwei general Cui Hongsheng, and the right Houwei general Guo Rong, the right Houwei general Yang Zichong and the right Tunwei general Pan Wenchang, who came from Taiyuan. and Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei who rushed from Pengcheng.

Under the new situation, the center of gravity of the adjustment of the national defense strategy is in the northern Xinjiang, although the western Xinjiang side is also full of crises, but the main battlefield of the Great War of the North and the South is in the northern Xinjiang, and the adjustment of the defense strategy of the northern Xinjiang is the top priority, and the top priority at the moment is to quickly stabilize the situation in the entire northeast Xinjiang region, including Youyan, and stabilize the flanks of the great battlefield between the north and the south, so as to concentrate forces on the frontal battlefield of Daibei and Lingshuo to defeat the desert and the northern captives. Therefore, whether to launch the Third Crusade in Middle-earth became the focus of discussions between the center and the military; At the same time, because Anzhou changed hands, the northeast changed drastically, and the Turks in the southeast of the moraine and the Donghu tribes on both sides of the weak Luoshui River quickly fell into war, which has endangered the security of Youyan and Liaodong in western Liaoning, so whether Zhongtu should take this opportunity to openly intervene in the northeast battlefield to seek maximum benefits has also become one of the contents of the discussion.

It is not difficult to deduce from this that this piece of music that has just been sent from Gubeikou will definitely make waves in the center and the military, and the plan discussed by Yu Shiji and Feng Deyi is actually to push the Middle Earth to openly intervene in the Northeast Battlefield, take away the "prey" of the Donghu species from the mouths of the Turks, destroy the powerful other parts of the Turks in the Northeast, and cut off one of their arms. Politically, this was beneficial to the military, as it could use this credit to restore the reputation of the Guard, and at the same time, it could also use the Northeast Battlefield to attract and contain the Turks, and help the expeditionary force to conquer Pyongyang without any worries, and thus win the final victory of the Eastern Crusade.

In short, the current special situation of the palace is still very favorable to increasing the intensity of support for Anzhou, and the key lies in the fact that it is necessary to win the support of some military generals, otherwise in the high-level political struggle that is treacherous, deceitful, and unscrupulous, whether it is Anzhou's plan to weaken Luoshui in the north, or the open intervention strategy of Yu Shiji and Feng Deyi, they may all become victims of political struggle.

At present, the high-level political struggle is becoming more and more intense, especially after the failure of Yang Xuangan's mutiny, and the reformers attacked the conservatives in the name of "purge", which led to a sharp deterioration of the political crisis in the two capitals. In this extremely harsh political environment, the reason of the two sides is gradually being lost, the interests of the group have overridden the interests of China and Guozuo, the two sides have done everything to crack down on their opponents, and some radical political positions have even gone crazy, and do not hesitate to sell the interests of China and Guozuo, the most typical example of which is the military department of Lang Hu Sizheng, there is such a central core existence of foreign countries on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, how can the expeditionary force be undefeated?

Because of this, in the central core, staunch reformers like Yu Shiji and ****** like Feng Deyi have become thorns in the side of conservatives. The inside should be cooperating with the outside", tacit cooperation, so that we can carefully bypass the obstacles of the conservatives, achieve the goal, and get what we want.

Feng Deyi agreed. Yu Shiji is indeed inconvenient to come forward in this matter, he is both a staunch reformist and a central ruler, and he has a big move, and his every move cannot escape the eyes of people with a heart, and Feng Deyi's "******" is not very noticeable, and more importantly, Feng Deyi and the Shandong military commander have inextricable links and complicated entanglements of interests, and the success rate of lobbying is very large.

"This can't be delayed for too long." Yu Shiji patted the recital on the table and said worriedly, "It must be performed tonight, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”

"The stakes are very high, Gubeikou must inform Duan Da in advance, and coerce Duan Da to give support in disguise, and Duan Da's support is very important, after all, the attitude of the local important town directly affects the central decision-making." Feng Deyi thought for a moment and said, "Wait until Duan Da's recital is delivered, and then submit it together, so that you can buy a little more time." In addition, the attitude of the Turks towards the changes in the Northeast is also very important, and it also directly affects the central decision-making, so I plan to talk to Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Hu Xi immediately to test their bottom line. ”

Yu Shiji frowned deeply, thought for a moment, and said, "The Turks will definitely not give up the benefits of the Northeast. The Northeast is too important to them, once the Great War breaks out, the Northeast Capture Army is the left road of the left, center and right armies of the desert, which can attack Youzhou, threaten the flank of our northern Xinjiang, and can even penetrate deep into our Hebei and endanger our Central Plains, while retreat can stick to the flank of the desert and protect the safety of the tooth tent, and if necessary, it can form a roundabout outflanking trend against our Northern Expedition army and threaten the retreat of our Northern Expedition army. ”

"On the surface, this is true, but when you think about it, it may not be so." Feng Deyi has a different view, "There are many contradictions and conflicts between the Turks and the Donghu races, among the three ethnic groups in the northeast, only the Turks are really loyal to the Turks, and the Xi Lu is close to the Middle Earth, using the power of the Middle Earth to fight against the Turks, and the Turks are respectful and far away, as for the Khitans, they are even more wall-to-wall grass, and they have deep grudges with the Turks, so at the critical moment, these three powerful tribes may not be willing to charge for the Turks, and the Turks may not dare to trust them." Therefore, in a certain view, the benefits of the Northeast are not as important as expected to the Turks, and in the left, middle and right armies of the desert, the left of the Moraine Southeast Tooth Banner is the core force of its left army, and the importance of the Northeast Tooth Banner in the Great War of the North and South far exceeds the strength of the Northeast Other. ”

Yu Shiji bowed slightly, "It also makes sense." As you say, the Turks may be able to compromise more on the benefits of the Northeast. ”

"According to a certain estimate, the Turks should be able to give up the Xi people and give up Anzhou as a last resort, after all, Anzhou is the ancestral land of the Xianbei people, and it has long been included in the territory of Middle Earth, more than 20 years ago, because China was busy with unification, there was no time to take care of anything else, so Xi Lu seized the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest, so as long as the Turks did not want to detonate the Great War in advance, it could not but give up Anzhou." Feng Deyi said, "But the weak Luoshui is very important, its northwest is the Xilu, its southeast is the Khitan, if these two powerful other parts are conquered by the Middle Earth, the whole northeast is lost, then the flank of the desert is completely exposed to the attack of the Middle Earth, only relying on a tooth banner in the southeast of the moraine, it has been impossible to reach the left and right attacks from Youyan and the northeast, so for the weak Luoshui, the Turks will never give up." ”

The Turks did not give up the weak Luoshui, and wanted to preserve the advantages of the Northeast to the greatest extent, so as to form a three-way attack on the Middle Earth militarily, and then the Middle Earth in order to win the Great War between the North and the South, the first thing to do was to break the three-way attack of the Turks.

"Good! Based on the fall of Anzhou, the bottom line of the Turks was tested. Yu Shiji said, "If the bottom line of the Turks is only one Anzhou, it will definitely help us increase our support for Anzhou." ”

Feng Deyi immediately said goodbye and was about to leave, when he saw a close confidant of Yu Shiji rushing towards him with a panicked expression.

"Jiangdu is in a hurry, Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin is called the Son of Heaven according to Wu County, with the thief Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as the Shangshu left and right, placing hundreds of officials, opening all the mansions, Biling, Dongyang, Huiji, Jian'an and other counties Countless high hopes gathered to respond, Jiangnan was in chaos, Jiangzuo was shaken, and the situation was extremely critical."

Yu Shiji was shocked, and Feng Deyi was dumbfounded. Gangnam chaos? Liu Yuanjin claims to be the Son of Heaven? Has the domestic situation deteriorated to such an unbelievable level?
