Li Fengyun and Cui Yu had a secret meeting, and it was exactly a month after their break with the tomb of King Zhao in Handan.

Cui Yu's face was like frost, and he was furious, seeing Li Fengyun's calm and casual appearance, he couldn't help but want to scold him for being despicable and shameless, ungrateful, and even had the urge to pounce on him and give him a knife.

Li Fengyun was as calm as water and didn't say a word. Cui Jiu and Li Sixing, who accompanied Li Fengyun, were also expressionless and silent.

The atmosphere was tense.

"I've finally seen what you're capable of as a thief." Cui Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Your method of stabbing behind your back is very good, admire and admire." ”

Li Fengyun glanced at her and smiled faintly. Cui Yu lowered his profile and took the initiative to talk about cooperation, which is commendable in itself, and under the current situation, Li Fengyun also urgently needs the cooperation of the northern Hebei giants, and his means of forcing the northern Hebei giants back to the negotiation table are indeed unkind, and it is reasonable to give Cui Yu a few sneering and scolding.

Li Fengyun closed his mouth and didn't say a word, Cui Yu scolded a few words and felt bored, so he had to hold back his anger and get down to business.

"The purpose of your stab in the back has been achieved, my son is here, and now I am sitting in front of you." Cui Yu asked in a cold voice, "All you need is our support, but if you stab it with this knife, the consequences will be too serious, and you will turn against you, so if you have no reason to calm your anger, you will tell you clearly, and you will not be able to persuade others to give you support." ”

Li Fengyun nodded slightly, hesitated slightly, and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Cui Yu and sternly warned, "Don't deceive your son, and don't have the idea of cheating your child, otherwise you will turn your face and become an enemy, and it will definitely be you, not your son." ”

Li Fengyun glanced at her contemptuously, very disdainful. In fact, Cui Yu is not the best negotiation object, not because of her daughter, but because she has a special personal relationship with the Holy Lord, although Cui Yu represents the interests of the Boling Cui family, but from the position of the Cui family, this special personal relationship between her and the Holy King is also a valuable resource, and it is necessary to use this resource to protect the interests of the family at a critical moment, so there are uncertain variables for Li Fengyun, so Li Fengyun is more willing to negotiate with a certain elder of the Cui family who has decision-making power. So as to avoid the potential risks brought by Cui Yu. But now Li Fengyun has no choice, the situation is too complicated, the time is too tight, he can only negotiate with Cui Yu, in comparison, the two still have a certain understanding of each other, which is also relatively beneficial to the negotiation.

Li Fengyun first elaborated on the current situation and the future trend of the situation, and the basis of the exposition was a large amount of confidential information obtained from various channels, including the defeat of Yang Xuangan and the changes in the political situation in the two capitals, the role of a series of decisions in the palace to promote the general trend of China and foreign countries, the positive and negative effects that Pei Shiju's westward journey and the border of King Qi might have on national defense and diplomatic strategy, and so on. Middle-earth had to go to great lengths to prepare for war.

Actively preparing for the Civil War is now the consensus of the Holy Lord and the core of the center, and this is also the consensus that Li Fengyun and the wealthy families in northern Hebei headed by the Boling Cui clan must reach, and only in this way can the two sides have the basic conditions for cooperation.

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu came with sincerity, patiently listened to Li Fengyun's explanation, and most of the views he expressed were also acceptable.

Previously, they also had some understanding of the palace's decision-making, and knew that the Holy Lord had ordered Pei Shiju to travel westward, and the center's attitude towards Wang Shubian had also loosened, which showed that the Holy Lord and the center were very pessimistic about the future of north-south relations, and were actively adjusting their national defense and foreign policy strategies for this reason. Now that I have heard more of the latest decisions of the Imperial Palace, the winner Pei Shiju has begun to travel westward, and the King of Qi has also been ordered to enter the Shanggu battlefield to suppress the thieves, indicating that the situation is very serious, and the Holy Lord and the Central Authority can't wait to start making strategic adjustments.

In addition, these secrets that Li Fengyun has in his possession are enough to prove that he has maintained close contacts with the central high-level leaders, and that every move of the high-level leaders cannot be concealed from Li Fengyun's "eyes." Therefore, it is not difficult to estimate and guess that Li Fengyun and the alliance army must also be a "chess move" for the central high-level to carry out a major adjustment of national defense and diplomatic strategy, but it is not yet known how this "chess" will be used to maximize interests.

Cui Yu felt Li Fengyun's sincerity, and once again lowered his posture, "I admit that we were too optimistic about the general situation between China and foreign countries, underestimated the seriousness of the Northwest crisis, and still had great thoughts about North-South relations, and this is also the reason why we disagreed and parted ways a month ago." Today, a month later, Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) began to travel westward, the king of Qi was still vaguely expected, and the Holy Lord and the center had shown enough pessimism in the relationship between the north and the south, all kinds of facts proved that the civil war was approaching, and the war was about to break out, and we must adjust our strategy and actively respond to it to ensure that Middle-earth wins this war. ”

Li Fengyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was not afraid that the Cui clan would "rejuvenate the teacher and ask for the guilt," but he was afraid that the Cui clan would be "stubborn" and would rest on his laurels and always harbor illusions about the relations between the north and the south; in this way, there would be endless troubles; once the war was lost, not only would his interests suffer serious losses, but would also cause harm to the great cause of reunification, and once the great cause of reunification collapsed, his interests would not suffer serious losses, but would suffer heavy losses, and he would be devastated, and he would even be wiped out.

The opportunity is not to wait, but to fight, and the interests are not picked up, but to work hard, so everything must be carefully prepared, and we must do our best, from beginning to end can not have the slightest slack, a little slack, you may miss the opportunity, fall short, and gain nothing.

Li Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Yu was aggressive and sharp, "Now, you tell your son, in the current situation, what benefits you can fight for to win our help again." ”

Cui Yu said "help", not "support", let alone "cooperation", which shows that Cui Shi is not optimistic about the prospects of Li Fengyun and the alliance army.

Although it turned out that the previous worries of the wealthy families in northern Hebei were correct, Li Fengyun went north with a "three-pronged approach", attacking Gaoyang Palace, killing Yanbei and threatening the Holy Lord's Palace, which quickly worsened the situation in Hebei, You, and Yan, and the sudden outbreak of the "Song Zixian conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord" case directly led to the situation getting out of control, forcing Cui Yu to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and take the initiative to find Li Fengyun to reconcile, but no matter how the relationship between the north and the south develops, the situation in northern Xinjiang must be stable, which is the basic condition for the suppression of northern Xinjiang. Therefore, Li Fengyun and the alliance army have only two ways, either stubbornly resist to the end and annihilate the whole army, or be appeased and surrender, and exchange the army for their own lives, there is no third way.

And what Li Fengyun said before was based on the development of Yanbei, in fact, he overestimated himself, and also overestimated the strength of the King of Qi, seriously underestimated the absolute strength of the Holy Lord, the Central Center and the Weifu Army, and also underestimated the power of the large and small "earth snakes" inside and outside the Great Wall. Of course, Li Fengyun and the alliance army may also use the high-level political game and the advantage of the terrain to persevere, but the Xiaoju Mountains and Forests are at most just a bandit, without strength and threat, they can't become a climate. In this case, what reason do the northern Hebei giants have to support Li Fengyun and cooperate with Li Fengyun? At most, it is to help at the right time, and the facilities are a little bit, and the right to raise a group of thugs.

Li Fengyun was unimpressed with Cui Yu's attitude, and continued to say in a calm tone, "A certain once told you in the tomb of King Zhao that the smuggling of Yanbei is a big problem in Middle Earth, and it must be completely eradicated before the outbreak of the Civil War, so after a certain kills into Yanbei, the Weifu army will give tacit cooperation, and the two sides will join forces to cut off the smuggling between the north and the south, and at the same time, the alliance can also win valuable time for development, and the facts have proved that the speculation of a certain is correct, and the second night of the arrival of the army at the Juma River with Duan Da, who stayed behind in Zhuo County, Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) got in touch with him, and the two sides began to negotiate secretly. ”

Cui Yu was secretly surprised, Cui Jiu's face changed slightly, and he asked eagerly, "What is the result of the negotiation?" "The matter is obvious, once the two sides reach a tacit understanding, the situation will be favorable to Li Fengyun, and it will be very unfavorable to all those involved in the smuggling between the north and the south, not to mention that there is still a sharp sword of "assassinating the Holy Lord" hanging over the heads of the wealthy families in northern Hebei.

Li Fengyun shook his head, "The differences between the two sides are too great, Duan Da asked us to go out of the fortress to fight, and we want to kill people with a knife, and this is tantamount to suicide for us, so the first negotiation was fruitless, but then Duan Da took the initiative to invite Jianchang Gong to have a second secret talk." ”

This time, Cui Yu and Cui Jiu both had a sense of foreboding, and Duan Da took the initiative to invite Li Zixiong to have a second secret talk in a short period of time, which was enough to show that he had the support of the Holy Lord and the Center, and the reason why the Holy Lord and the Center were able to make decisions in such a short period of time must have a lot to do with Pei Shiju.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea appeared, Li Fengyun confirmed their guess, "The second secret talk was still fruitless, but soon, Pei Xuanji, the provincial secretary of the door, secretly appeared. ”

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu looked solemn, looked at each other, and saw nervousness and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Pei Shiju, who was hiding behind Li Fengyun, "appeared", and the situation is complicated, what does this mean? If Li Fengyun is a "chess piece" arranged by Pei Shiju in a certain big layout, and this big layout is aimed at the Civil War, then when the Civil War has not yet broken out and the relations between the North and the South have not even deteriorated to the extreme, is it too early for Pei Shiju to "appear" at this moment? If his secret relationship with Li Fengyun is exposed too early, it will inevitably become the target of "attack" by political enemies, which is definitely not conducive to his own interests and the completion of this big layout, so Pei Shiju is very likely to be forced to "show up" in desperation.

If Pei Shiju was forced to "show up", why was he forced? What is the purpose? Is it to preserve Li Fengyun's "chess piece", or to give it up resolutely?

If Pei Shiju was forced to "show up" in order to abandon Li Fengyun's "chess piece", then two speculations can be made, one is that in the high-level game, Pei Shiju "lost", Pei Shiju was attacked and coerced by political enemies because Li Fengyun's true identity was exposed, and he had to make some kind of political compromise in desperation, and the biggest compromise was to sacrifice Li Fengyun to protect his political interests; The second is that Li Fengyun is out of control, Pei Shiju has lost control of Li Fengyun, so he has to eradicate this henchman before Li Fengyun endangers his personal and Middle Earth interests.

However, Pei Shiju wants to go west, and he will not be able to take care of the northern Xinjiang in the next few months, and he will not be able to reach Li Fengyun, that is to say, even if he wants to give up Li Fengyun's "chess piece", he must go through the hands of others, and this means that Pei Shiju is out of control, and it is dangerous to lose control, Pei Shiju will never be able to hand over his net worth and life to others, so Pei Shiju is very likely to make preparations with both hands, including he wants to "preserve" Li Fengyun to see if he can rely on Li Fengyun to reverse the crisis, and use Li Fengyun's power to influence and even control the overall situationIn order to minimize the loss of his personal and Middle-earth interests, he wanted to "abandon" Li Fengyun and kill Li Fengyun under the pretense of others, so as to fulfill his political compromise. Of course, if Li Fengyun is vulnerable and the whole army is annihilated, and he fails to live up to his expectations, he can only accept the fact that his interests are damaged.

If Pei Shiju has to prepare with both hands, then what kind of countermeasures will Pei Shiju come up with? The secret was in the conversation between Pei Xuanji and Li Fengyun.

"There's a way to get in and out of the plug." Under the attention of Cui Yu and Cui Jiu, Li Fengyun explained very calmly the specific content of the policy of entering and exiting the fortress from the east, as well as the huge impact it had on the relations between the north and the south after the success of this policy, as well as the immeasurable role it could play in the civil war.

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu were surprised at first, fighting out of the fortress is to send the alliance army to death, Duan Da wants to borrow a knife to kill, Pei Shiju still wants to borrow a knife to kill, but after hearing about Anzhou's hometown, the two were shocked and amazed by Pei Shiju's strategy.

If Li Fengyun captures Anzhou, defeats the attacks of the Turks and the Xi, Xi and Khitan tribes, firmly establishes a foothold in Anzhou, and recovers the hometown of Anzhou in a real sense, the impact on the general trend of China and foreign countries is too great, and the benefits contained in it are too great, not only Li Fengyun and the alliance army can use the hometown of Anzhou to rise in the northern Xinjiang, but the King of Qi and Li Zixiong and others can also obtain great political benefits, and the wealthy families of northern Hebei and Youyan needless to say, brilliant feats are at your fingertips, and the benefits of the Holy Lord and the center are even greater. Once the Third Crusade is also triumphant, the superposition of the two great martial arts will inevitably have a huge political effect, the previous loss of authority can be quickly restored, and the previous political crisis will also be swept away, so that the unfavorable "environment" of internal and external troubles and the enemy will be quickly improved, and this will greatly increase the chances of victory in the Civil War.

It's just that dreams are dreams after all, the reality is too cruel, Pei Shiju paints cakes to satisfy hunger, no matter how tempting he paints the "cakes", it is still fake after all.

Cui Yu took the lead in breaking the silence, pointed at Li Fengyun, and said coldly, "You are out of control, you are unruly, reckless, and ambitious, and you have completely angered Wen Xigong, and he wants to kill you." ”
