Pei Shiju pondered and was silent for a long time.

Pei Xuanji saw that his lord didn't speak from beginning to end, and he didn't show enough interest, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, after all, Pei Shiju had already put forward a suggestion to appease the Holy Lord, and now it was confirmed that the white thief was Li Pingyuan, so Pei Shiju must "settle" Li Pingyuan, quickly resolve the potential crisis that threatens his own interests, and skillfully transform the danger into an opportunity, otherwise this is a sharp sword hanging over Pei's head, and it is a disaster that will explode at any time, putting Pei's in an uncontrollable huge risk.

"My lord, this strategy should be the product of Li Pingyuan's foresight, whether inside or outside the Great Wall, it can bring short-term or long-term benefits to all parties involved." Pei Xuanji said cautiously, "So Li Pingyuan's purpose in offering this strategy is just to tell us that he has no threat to us, and whether we support it or not, he will implement this strategy in the future, there is no doubt about it." ”

Pei Shiju glanced at his son and did not answer.

"My lord, Li Pingyuan is not what it used to be, he is no longer a secret soldier single-handedly, but a hero with an army of 100,000, and his purpose is obvious, he wants to take revenge, if he succeeds, the world will be in chaos, and the lives will be ruined, so this person can't stay in the north anyway, even if he cheats, he must be deceived to the outside of the Saiwai, let him fight with the Turks, and let him go to the scourge of the captives outside the Saiwai."

Pei Shiju closed his eyes, his face expressionless.

Pei Xuanji felt his adult's disdain for him, and smiled helplessly. If Li Pingyuan can deceive, can he still come back from the dead? Will Pei's still be in today's predicament? Li Pingyuan's revenge plan has just begun, as long as he does not die, the situation inside and outside the Great Wall in the future will be deeply affected, and more seriously, Li Pingyuan firmly grasped the God-given opportunity that the Civil War was about to explode, in this context, Li Pingyuan and his 100,000 army have become a third-party force inside and outside the Great Wall that cannot be ignored, whoever controls this force, or wins the support of this force, who will seize the opportunity in the Great War.

However, the Holy Lord and the Central Pivot did not know Li Pingyuan and his person, and they did not look down on this force at all, and took a step back and said, even if they knew, they were worried that raising tigers would be a problem and would strangle it in the cradle, so Li Pingyuan had always been very low-key, and now he was even more anxious to leave Middle-earth, and to go to the outside of the Saiwai, that is, to escape from the Great Wall before the Holy Lord and the Central Pivot realized his harmfulness and had no time to strangle him.

Li Pingyuan arrived outside the Saiwai, although it was very difficult to survive, and even the whole army was in danger of being wiped out, but as long as the Beilu saw his strength, realized his importance, and guessed that this was the plan of Middle-earth to drive the tiger and devour the wolf to the east, and deliberately contained, weakened and consumed the Beiyu, then the Beilu must use the way of others to govern their bodies, and instead of the two tigers fighting for a defeat, it is better to worship brothers and seek the future. You want to borrow Li Pingyuan's knife to kill me, why can't I do the opposite and borrow this knife to kill you? Besides, there is a connection between Li Pingyuan and the Tooth Tent Lord and the faction, and now that the Tooth Tent Lord and the faction are in decline, it is completely possible to form an alliance with Li Pingyuan to use this third-party force to counter the Tooth Tent Lord War Faction. In this way, Li Pingyuan's life outside the Saiwai was better, the eagle struck the sky, soared for nine days, and with his own strength, he joined forces with Xi Xi, Khitan and other tribes outside the Saiwai to make profits between the two major forces at home and abroad.

What Pei Xuanji can see, how can Pei Shiju not see it?

Pei Xuanji knew that the feud between Pei and Li Pingyuan was irresolvable, and it was no longer possible for Pei to win Li Pingyuan's trust and control him. In this case, it is better to be a favor, send you out of the fortress, give you the support of money, food and weapons, and let you be a hero outside the fortress, no matter what, you have the blood of Middle-earth in your body, your subordinates are all Middle-earth, and I don't expect you to live and die with me at the critical moment, as long as you don't betray Middle-earth, and don't help the Northern Captives to harm Middle-earth, that's fine.

Pei Shiju stood tall and saw far away, and his views on this matter were very different from Pei Xuanji. There is no faith in politics, only interests, and traitors do not betray because of faith, but because interests sell their souls, so all politically uncontrollable risks must be ruthlessly stifled. The same is true of Li Pingyuan, although his strategy of entering and exiting the fortress in the east does help Middle-earth to seize the opportunity in the imminent civil war, but it is not a decisive opportunity, let alone an advantage that determines the outcome of the war, and the risk taken for this advantage and advantage is fatal, it may backfire and detonate the war in advance, and it is possible to raise tigers to bring disaster upon itself, so after weighing the pros and cons, it is still Xun Qiao to resolutely exterminate Li Pingyuan once and for all.

Pei Xuanji had already expected the result, but he was lucky. Li Pingyuan was raised by Pei Shiju, and he was also cultivated by Pei Shiju, and Li Pingyuan also sacrificed his life to save Pei Shiju's life, but Pei Shiju abandoned Li Pingyuan in the Yulin storm, for which Pei Shiju was sorry and uneasy, and it is still difficult to let go, so Pei Xuanji has reason to believe that Pei Shiju should give Li Pingyuan a chance.

However, Pei Shiju's heart was as hard as iron, ruthless, and he didn't give Li Pingyuan any chance at all.

"My lord......" Pei Xuanji weighed it again and again, and still persuaded hard, "Even if it is not for Li Pingyuan, you must consider it for my Pei family." ”

Pei Xuanji is still worried that the true identity of the white thief will be exposed, which will affect Pei Shiju and even hit Pei's power.

Pei Shiju was unmoved, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, and he turned a deaf ear.

Pei Xuanji sighed, completely dead.

Perhaps in Pei Shiju's eyes, the future of the individual, power, and family is very important, but what is more important is the interests of Middle-earth, or the grand cause that he has worked so hard for. Besides, even if the true identity of the white thief is exposed, as long as the white thief does not cause major harm to the interests of Middle-earth and does not affect the outcome of the Civil War, it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to Pei Shiju, after all, Pei Shiju is the first authority in foreign affairs in China today, especially when the Civil War is about to explode, Pei Shiju's importance is more prominent, and it is impossible for the Holy Lord and the central core decision-making level to doubt Pei Shiju's loyalty because of a secret soldier who has come back from the dead, end Pei Shiju's political life, and self-destruct the Great Wall. When the Great War between the North and the South is won, Pei Shiju's credit is great, enough to offset the merits, on the contrary, if he is defeated, Pei Shiju himself will bear the responsibility, and he doesn't care about such a crime.

"My lord, how do you report to the Holy Lord?" Pei Xuanji was a little depressed, his tone was low and uneasy.

Pei Shiju didn't move, closed his eyes and pondered, for a long time, and made a gesture slightly.

Pei Xuanji comprehended, "The adult goes first, and the certain catches up later." ”

On the afternoon of August 11, Pei Xuanji met Li Fengyun, who had been waiting here, in a forest outside the city.

Xue Fengyun was very anxious, and when he saw Pei Xuanji, he asked, "Can you meet Ming Gong?" ”

Pei Xuanji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "A certain adult has crossed the river to the west without stopping." ”

Li Fengyun's heart sank suddenly, and a cold chill swept through his body in an instant. He imagined countless possibilities, but it turned out to be the worst one. Pei Shiju's refusal to summon him is enough to prove that he is too arrogant and optimistic, and that he and the alliance have no weight at all in the highest echelons of power in Middle-earth, and he is not qualified to bargain, as for the strategy of entering and exiting the fortress in the east, it is a big joke in their eyes. Raising a coward is important, raising a tiger is a problem, when they are all idiots?

Li Fengyun's face suddenly turned ugly.

Pei Xuanji stretched out his hand and patted him on the back to comfort him, "But so-and-so is still here, this is no loss for you, as for that matter, it is up to you that you didn't say it, and so-and-so didn't hear it." The implication is that although a certain adult is extremely dissatisfied with you and refuses your strategy of entering and exiting the east, he has not cut off your vitality, and still acquiesces to your "fox and tiger power" and "swagger" under his signboard.

This sentence is very mysterious, and Li Fengyun's first thought came to Li Zixiong.

If Pei Shiju acquiesces to Li Fengyun to continue to play his signature "swagger and deceive" and maintain the status quo, then Li Zixiong will continue to misunderstand, thinking that Pei Shiju is standing behind Li Fengyun, and the two will continue to cooperate, and Feng Deyi will continue to misunderstand, thinking that Li Fengyun's every move comes from Pei Shiju's instructions, so that in the future, the Weifu Army and the Alliance Army will form a tacit understanding.

Duan Da once asked Li Zixiong for cooperation, wanting to borrow a knife to kill people, and to drive the alliance army to the outside of the Saiwai to join the northern captives. If the two sides formed a tacit understanding, Duan Da would continue to make this request, and Li Fengyun was just about to get out of the fortress and hit it off, but Li Fengyun could not get the support of grain, grass and weapons, and could only fend for himself after leaving the fortress.

That's the fatal point. Li Fengyun's strategy of entering and exiting the fortress in the east looks high-sounding and significant, but in fact, there is only one core, which is to ask for the support of grain, grass and weapons, and Pei Shiju saw through it at a glance, refused it, and mercilessly dug a "pit" for Li Fengyun.

If Li Fengyun doesn't jump down, he is in Pei Shiju's arms, you will stay in the Great Wall, be appeased and surrender, and honestly help King Qi to conquer the northern frontier, otherwise you will definitely be killed by the Weifu army, on the contrary, if you have to jump, in the predicament of no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, you are a lamb to be slaughtered, and the captives outside the fortress are a group of hungry wolves, swarming up, surrounded and killed on all sides, and there are no bones left in the blink of an eye.

Li Fengyun sighed bitterly. I was too naïve, I thought that I had the strength to control the situation to a certain extent, and I could find an opportunity to save Middle-earth, but the truth was cruel, and now the opportunity was in front of me, but I couldn't grasp it, on the contrary, I put myself in a bigger predicament.
