"If the Holy Lord implements Duan Wenzhen's legacy strategy under the unfavorable situation of the Eastern Crusade, then there will definitely be new changes in the Eastern Crusade battlefield after July." After Li Fengyun briefly explained the origin and content of Duan Wenzhen's last policy, he warned Li Mi very strictly, "In this way, before winter comes, the Holy Lord will have the opportunity to conquer Pyongyang and end the Eastern Crusade, so you must not be blindly optimistic, once you make a wrong decision and incur a thunderous blow, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Li Mi believed it.

He knew that before the Eastern Crusade, there had been fierce disputes among the central authorities over the strategy of the Eastern Crusade, and the bigwigs in the political and military circles had their own opinions and opinions based on their own positions and interests. The political bigwigs paid attention to the long-term effect of the Eastern Crusade, the goal of the Eastern Crusade was to maintain a long-term peace between the North and the South, and the attack on Goguryeo was only a means to achieve this goal. As a military boss, Duan Wenzhen clearly opposed the use of diplomatic means in the war, and clearly opposed the step-by-step and steady attack method, insisted on destroying Goguryeo by force, insisted on fighting the battle, and as long as he killed Goguryeo with the power of thunder, he would be able to achieve the goal of deterring the northern captives. But in the highest decision-making level, there are too few military bigwigs, so this controversy ended with the victory of the political bigwigsAfter the start of the Eastern Crusade, Duan Wenzhen went to the front line to lead the troops, and was "expelled" from the decision-making level by the emperor and a group of political bigwigs in disguise.

From this political background, it is indeed possible that Duan Wenzhen played the emperor and the center before his death, and once again expounded his strategy of the Eastern Crusade. Then, inferring from the current unfavorable situation on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, it is indeed possible that the emperor and the central center may have pinned their last hope of conquering Pyongyang on the naval division in order to reverse the situation and end the Eastern Crusade this year. However, the strength of the water division is limited, and it is necessary to attack with 6 waters, and the 6th Route Army must be killed under the city of Pyongyang within a predetermined time, so the emperor and the center can only implement Duan Wenzhen's last policy. Although the time to implement this strategy has passed, Goguryeo's strength is limited, and there is still a great hope that the six major armies of Zhongtu and Water will join forces to attack Pyongyang and conquer Pyongyang, so the military commanders may indeed take a risky fight.

However, once the expeditionary force implements this policy, the battlefield of this year's Eastern Expedition will inevitably change after July. If the expeditionary force conquered Pyongyang, the emperor and the center would have achieved their goal of ending the war within the year, and they would have been able to free up their hands to rectify the political situation in the eastern capital. However, the Eastern Capital has lost the means to threaten the emperor, and is extremely passive, if Yang Lan, the king of Qi, confronts the emperor, he will definitely die, on the contrary, if Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is destroyed by a conspiracy, then the emperor will definitely fight against the person who framed the king of Qi, without mercy.

Li Mi thought for a long time, deduced repeatedly, and gradually agreed with Li Fengyun's opinion. If the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade had changed as Li Fengyun had said, and a hasty decision had been made to defeat Yang Lan, the king of Qi, in the case of unpredictable results, then Yang Xuangan and the Heluo aristocratic group would be in danger of being retaliated by the emperor frantically. Killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted losses is absolutely impossible, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition, there is a more important reason, no matter how big Li Fengyun's ambitions are, and no matter what he wants next, if he is a pawn of Yuwenshu, and has always maintained close contact with the Yuwen brothers in the Eastern Capital, and can obtain important secrets of the Eastern Expedition battlefield, then the purpose of his entry into the Central Plains to capture Tongjiqu is not only to show strength, but also to use himself as a bait to lure all the conservative nobles who oppose the reform, and all the political enemies who conspire against the emperor and the reformers, into a trap and completely expose. So that the bloody slaughter began after the end of the Crusade.

If this idea is true, Li Mi will be exposed, the Li family will be affected, and Yang Xuangan and the Yingru nobles who rushed to the forefront in this Tongjiqu crisis will be hit, and the consequences will indeed be very severe.

Suddenly, Li Mi thought of a key point, Li Fengyun supported Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to inherit the imperial throne. Could it be that the Yuwen brothers want to follow their father Yuwen Shu and show their skills in the battle for imperial unity, so as to take this opportunity to make a comeback and pass on the glory of the Yuwen clan from generation to generation?

Since the Yulin incident in the third year of the great cause of the two brothers were deposed as slaves, the career has been completely cut off, unless there is a miracle, unless the earth-shattering merit is made, it is impossible to make a comeback, and if the two brothers sink into a slump, it will affect the future of the family, once Yuwen Shu passed away, the pillars of the family have fallen, and the power is no longer brilliant, then it is conceivable that the family will decline sharply, and the period of defeat is just around the corner. With Yuwenshu's current hot power, it is impossible for him not to think about his children and grandchildren, and not for the future of the family, and from the standpoint of the Yuwen brothers, if they want to make a comeback, they can only use their father's power, once their father is gone, they will never have a bright day. So, where is the road to the comeback of the Yuwen brothers? It's very simple, the success of Yuwen Shu is the best example, and the merit of the auxiliary monarch is a shocking achievement, and now the prince who is closest to the position of the prince and the closest to the emperor's throne is Yang Lan, the king of Qi, so as long as he can assist Yang Nan, the king of Qi, to enter the East Palace, as long as he does his best to help Yang Lan, the king of Qi, inherit the imperial system, then the Yuwen brothers will be able to make a comeback, and the Yuwen family will be able to create brilliance again.

The more Li Mi thought about it, the more panicked he became. The matter has come to this, anyway, shrinking the head is a knife, and stretching out the head is also a knife, Yu Crisp and Li Fengyun spread out and said. The two sides are originally using each other, and as long as each other's value is stored, the cooperation will not be interrupted. Since there is cooperation, it is not a bad thing to spread out, and it may also increase trust between each other.

"If Duan Wenzhen's legacy does exist, it is the top secret of the center." Li Mi asked, "But X doesn't know about this, and there is no news about this in the Eastern Capital, so if you want to persuade X to continue to maintain the cooperation between us, you must tell Sù, where did you get this news from?" ”

This time it was Li Fengyun's turn to be surprised. Li Mi really didn't know about this? There is no news about this in the Eastern Capital? Even Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't know Duan Wenzhen's will? Li Fengyun realized that he was reckless and rash, and originally thought that he could use this secret to deter Li Mi, while continuing to maintain the cooperation between the two sides, while delaying the time for the decisive battle with Yang Lan, the king of Qi, so as to win more time for the alliance to capture the Tongji Canal, make the alliance stronger, and let the alliance's armies form combat effectiveness faster under the oppression of life and death crises. However, Li Mi didn't know about Duan Wenzhen's will, this is what the chicken and duck said, Duan Wenzhen's strategy became groundless, not only could not deter Li Mi, but made him misunderstand, thinking that he was deliberately sabotaging the cooperation between the two sides in this absurd way.

Li Fengyun's face was expressionless, he was very calm, very calm, and very confident, but his heart was churning violently, looking for a way to save him. Duan Wenzhen's legacy is not a lie, but Li Mi mistakenly thinks it is a lie, which is troublesome

Li Mi saw that Li Fengyun was silent, hesitated, and concluded that he would not reveal the truth, so he did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation to pursue, "Is your news from the Eastern Capital?" ”

Li Fengyun was puzzled, not knowing why Li Mi would have such a guess.

"Is it from the Yuwen clan?" Li Mi was aggressive and continued to ask.

Li Fengyun was even more puzzled, but he suddenly had an epiphany, and immediately guessed the reason, knew Li Mi's deduction ideas, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. Li Mi misunderstood, this is a good thing, what he wants is his misunderstanding, so that he can plan and plan calmly.

"I can tell you for sure that this news definitely didn't come from the Yuwen clan." Li Fengyun said in an unquestionable tone, "The enmity between a certain and the Yuwen clan is as deep as the sea, and they are incompatible, one day, a certain will destroy the Yuwen clan and slaughter the nine clans of the Yuwen clan to avenge the deep revenge of the sea of blood." ”

Li Mi was stunned, dizzy by Li Fengyun's words of gnashing his teeth. Could it be that something is wrong, and all the previous deductions are wrong? Why did Li Fengyun deny it? Is it afraid that the secret will be leaked, so he tries his best to cover it up in such an exaggerated way?

Li Fengyun knows that he can make plans and let Li Mi fall into a misunderstanding, but he must not admit that he has a connection with Yuwen's family, which is related to his future exhibition. The tide of history is irreversible, and the Yuwen clan will eventually go to the point of no return for 10,000 years, once he has an unwarranted relationship with the Yuwen clan, he will be unable to argue in the future, so he must lead Li Mi's misunderstanding to another direction.

Li Mi's mind flashed, and he made all kinds of deductions in an instant. If Li Fengyun is the enemy of the Yuwen clan, then according to the smuggling case of Yulin collaborating with the enemy in the third year of the Great Cause, and according to the fact that Yuwen Shu wanted to detain him to the eastern capital thousands of miles away, and the Turks chased and killed him all the way, Li Fengyun is very likely to be a chess piece laid by Yuwenshu's political enemies in secret, and it is even possible that he uncovered the dark curtain of the Yuwen brothers' smuggling with the enemy, and he still holds a lot of secrets in his hands that are enough to put the Yuwen clan to death, so he has become the target of the Yuwen clan and the Turks. Therefore, Li Fengyun and Yuwen's enmity are as deep as the sea, and they are incompatible.

If this deduction is true, it is necessary to find Yu Wenshu's political enemies first.

There are too many political enemies in Yuwenshu, the members of the "princeling" in the past, the relics of the first emperor with Gao Ying, Yuwenbi and He Ruobi, that is, the old conservatives, and now the neoconservatives with the local nobles of Guanlong and the nobles of Heluo as the core force, and among these political enemies, there are only two people who are currently deeply trusted by the emperor and are at the highest decision-making level, one is Pei Shiju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, he is the central minister of the first emperor's dynasty, and the holy lord was once deposed to the northwest after ascending the throne. The other is Nayan Suwei, who is also the central minister of the first imperial dynasty, and also the political leader of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, his prestige and influence are too great, especially since the death of Gao Ying, Yang Su and other founding ministers, he has become the only remaining founding father who can affect the political scene of Middle-earth.

Like Su Wei, a political veteran, the Holy Lord does not need to do it, the political government pays attention to compromise, it is a force that can be united, and it is the way of checks and balances, but it is also very constrained when used, after all, if the conservative force of the decision-making level is too large, it will inevitably hinder the advancement of reform, so Su Wei has been up and down over the years, but he has always stood tall, and this is the reason. After the failure of the struggle, Gao Ying and other old ministers were brutally killed, and Su Wei was dismissed and picked up a life, so can it be deduced in this way that the reason why the Holy Lord and Yuwenshu did not kill Su Wei was because he had more secrets in his hands that threatened the survival of Yuwenshu, and even Yan zhòng threatened the relationship between the north and the south? And the provider of these secrets, is it Li Fengyun? As a result, Li Fengyun's identity came out, and he may be a secret soldier.

At the top of the power, the secret soldier is a special existence, subordinate to the military in terms of establishment, but fighting for the government, directly obeying the orders of the central high-level, serving the national defense and foreign strategy of Middle-earth, the battlefield is the vast outer frontier beyond the Great Wall, so every secret soldier is a fierce general, every secret soldier is familiar with military and political affairs, and such a high personal quality, as well as absolute loyalty to Middle-earth, the secret soldiers are all born in high nobility. Think about it, if you don't have a good elite education, you don't have a profound cultural heritage, you don't have the experience of following the elders in your family to fight on the battlefield since you were a child, and you don't have the intricate bloody and cruel political struggle in the temple, how can you have the basic conditions for being selected as a secret soldier?

If Li Fengyun is a secret soldier, a secret soldier who directly obeys the orders of Gao Ying, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi, Su Wei and other founding fathers who hold a conservative position, and is the enemy of Yu Wenshu, the enemy of the emperor and the reformers, then there are reasonable answers to the many unsolved mysteries before.

"You're from Guanlong?" Li Mi asked suddenly.

The secret soldiers must have been born in high aristocracy, but there are too many children of high nobles, including concubines, direct collateral families, partial rooms in the main house, and branch halls in the main hall, and countless others. Take the Cui family, the first wealthy family in Shandong, as an example, it has Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui, and then the branches and leaves continue to expand, even if the Cui family's own children, if you don't look at the family tree, you don't know how many people there are in the Cui family, and where they are distributed. The same is true for the wealthy families of Guanlong, such as the Li family of Chengji in Longxi, tracing back to Li Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, with a history of more than 1,000 years, even from the rise of the three brothers Li Xian, Li Yuan, and Li Mu, there have been nearly 100 years, and their direct descendants have hundreds. Therefore, as long as Li Fengyun does not tell his true origin, Li Mi has no way to guess at all, but Li Mi is too curious, so he turns to the next best thing, first determine Li Fengyun's origin, so as to further narrow the scope of deduction and speculation

"It doesn't matter if so-and-so is from Guanlong or not." Li Fengyun said, "The important thing is that no matter what the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition is, and no matter how the political situation in the Eastern Capital changes, Middle-earth urgently needs a prince. ”

Li Mi realized that the problem was strict, and his thinking was suddenly a little confused, and his emotions were irritable. If the forces behind Li Fengyun are determined to support Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to enter the East Palace, then his and Yang Xuangan's secret plan will fail. This is absolutely not good, this time the opportunity is once in a lifetime, and it is necessary to destroy the King of Qi on the battlefield of Tongji Canal at any cost.
