August 18, Tang County, Boling County, on the bank of the water under Yao Mountain, King Qi camped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Feng Deyi, a member of the Inner Shi She, came by order, named Jian Jun, to explore the reality of the King of Qi, and to conduct examinations on behalf of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee of the King of Qi. Examination is to evaluate officials at all levels within a certain period of time in accordance with the law, and according to their different performances, distinguish different grades, and give promotions, rewards and punishments, so the examination system is closely related to the selection and appointment of officials. As far as King Qi's current embarrassing situation is concerned, Feng Deyi's examination results directly determine the future fate of King Qi in a sense.

For this reason, the king of Qi attached great importance to it, and together with Li Shanheng, the general of the tiger Benlang, he took the palace bureaucrats and a group of senior officers to greet him in person, and his posture was very low, showing humility and timidity.

After the tent was settled, Li Shanheng then made a presentation on behalf of the king of Qi about what he had done in recent months, focusing on the pursuit of white-haired thieves in Jiyin and Dongjun, Yang Xuangan crossed the river to attack Liyang after the outbreak of the mutiny, and then suppressed the thieves on both sides of the Yongji Canal, and after receiving the edict of the Holy Lord, he went north to rescue Gaoyang, and then followed the traitors to Boling.

In the end, Li Shanheng made several explanations for the King of Qi to disobey the edict of the Holy Lord to Boling to suppress the thieves but deliberately avoided Shanggu, the most important of which is that the Shanggu battlefield originally had Zhuojun left behind Duan Da and Xiaoguo to lead the army of Wu Benlang and the Yin Division, if the King of Qi went over again, it would inevitably be suspected of robbing the merits, and the white-haired thieves who besieged Gaoyang fled into Boling, and the King of Qi had to follow and kill him, and he could not let it harm Boling.

After Li Shanheng finished speaking, King Qi added a few words, mainly to explain why he had never been able to kill the white-haired thief, so that now he was watching the white-haired thief scourge northern Hebei and endanger the security of the border. King Qi's reason was that when he was in Qilu, although he and Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the water division, and Peng Cheng stayed behind Dong Chun to fight the traitors, they did not continue to have food and grass, and they made mistakes in cooperation and repeatedly missed opportunities; When he arrived in the area of Jiyin and Dongjun, because Yang Xuangan mutiny, the eastern capital was in a hurry, and he had to support with all his might, but he missed the opportunity to be annihilated again.

After King Qi finished speaking, there was obviously a brief silence in the tent. Feng Deyi's expression was grim and he didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was obviously a little tense.

After a long time, Feng Deyi finally spoke, "Does the king know where the main army of the white-haired thieves is burning and looting now?" ”

"Boling, Shanggu, and Hejian have suffered from the raids of white-haired thieves, and they feel deeply guilty." King Qi said bitterly, "Lone bears an unshirkable responsibility, and Lone is willing to accept the punishment of the Holy Lord. ”

Feng Deyi glanced at him and said quietly, "The main force of the white-haired thieves has captured Lingqiu, Flying Fox and Weicheng, and now it has swept across both sides of the Qiyi River, crossed the Sanggan River, and the troops are directed at Huairong City, an important town in northern Yanbei. As a result, the situation in Yanbei has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Changcheng has fallen into a crisis. ”

King Qi pretended to be surprised, and Li Shanheng was also "unbelievable", and then the two closed their mouths and "didn't dare" to speak.

Feng Deyi continued, "Therefore, it is no longer a question of how to kill the white-haired thieves, but how to ensure the stability of the situation in Yanbei and the security of the northern Xinjiang garrison, and how to curb the further deterioration of the north-south relationship in the shortest possible time, so as to ensure that the general momentum of China and foreign countries can help the Holy Lord and the center quickly reverse the current bad situation in the next few months." ”

King Qi was about to say that he would do his best to support the Holy Lord and the center, but he saw Li Shanheng glaring at him, signaling him to remain silent, patiently waiting for Feng Deyi to put forward conditions, and not to let the other party detect his bottom line first.

King Qi continued to keep his mouth shut, his expression heavy and worried.

King Qi didn't speak, didn't express his position, and had an indifferent expression that didn't care about himself, which made Feng Deyi very "uncomfortable", and in desperation, he could only continue to say, and made a detailed exposition of the Holy Lord and the center's analysis, deduction and countermeasures of the general trend at home and abroad. Now that Pei Shiju has traveled westward, intending to form an alliance with the Western Turks to alleviate the crisis in the western frontier, and the central battle opinion has gradually gained the upper hand, the Holy Lord intends to launch a third crusade to alleviate the crisis in the northeast next spring, so that Middle-earth can establish an advantage in the upcoming Great War of the North and South and ensure that Middle-earth can win this war.

In his elaboration, Feng Deyi explained in detail the necessity and importance of the King of Qi going north to the border, the change in the attitude of the Holy Lord and the Central Hub towards the King of Qi going north to the Frontier, the vigorous promotion of himself and Pei Shiju to the King of Qi going north to the Frontier, and the many reasons why the Holy Lord and the Central Center cannot make this decision for the time being under the current situation, all of which were explained in detail, one proved that although he did not support the King of Qi in the battle for the imperial unity, he had no "malicious intent" towards the King of Qi, so it was helpful for him to be on the King of Qi on this trip, and the King of Qi did not need to be on high alert; The second implies that although the Holy Lord and the Center will not make the decision of King Qi to go north to the border for the time being, they do not object to King Qi going north to the Great Wall as quickly as possible, of course, how to grasp the "degree" of this, how not to "stimulate" the relationship between the North and the South and not to bring trouble to the Holy Lord and the Center, it depends on the superb "means" of King Qi.

King Qi was moved by Feng Deyi's "sincerity" and wanted to speak again, so he turned his eyes to look at Li Shanheng, but saw Li Shanheng shaking his head gently, signaling him to "remain unmoved" and continue to remain silent.

When Feng Deyi saw that King Qi still "didn't say a word", he knew that he had failed to "impress" the King of Qi and failed to give the King of Qi practical benefits, and the King of Qi was not moved at all. But he really can't give any promise to King Qi now, after all, the Holy Lord and the Center did not make the decision of King Qi to fight the border, in this case, the King of Qi only relied on his own judgment, assuming that the Holy Lord and the Center had acquiesced, and then went north to the border in a hurry, this risk is too great, which is equivalent to leaving the opponent with a fatal handle, once the Holy Lord and the Center "turn their faces and deny the account", seize this handle and put the King of Qi to death, who will the King of Qi find to shout injustice?

After Feng Deyi pondered for a while, he decided to play Pei Shiju's "big banner", so he told Pei Shiju that before he went west, he suddenly changed his position of "Lord Peace", and instead recommended the king of Qi to support the Holy Lord to launch the third crusade, and took the initiative to appease the white-haired thieves, use the power of the white-haired thieves to fight in the fortress, use the sword to kill people, and use the chaotic situation outside the fortress to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang and other central core secrets in detail.

King Qi and Li Shanheng were secretly surprised. This time they were really surprised, because the reason why they chose to maintain a tacit understanding with Li Fengyun, and after Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny, the relationship between the two sides even developed to cooperate was to consider that behind the white-haired thieves there were not only Hebei people, but there might even be a "middle" force headed by Pei Shiju in the center, and if King Qi could get the support of this huge force, he would still have the possibility of seizing the imperial unity. Now Feng Deyi has finally "picked apart" the truth, Feng Deyi is the representative of the Hebei people, Pei Shiju is the pillar of the central "middle" forces, these two people now support the king of Qi to go north to the border, and both have an attitude of appeasement and borrowing strength to the white-haired thief, which is enough to show that they have a secret connection with the white-haired thief, so the secret between the king of Qi and the white-haired thief is still a secret in their eyes?

However, there was one detail that King Qi and Li Shanheng both noticed. Wei Fusi said that the plan to regain Anzhou originated from Pei Shiju, and now Feng Deyi only said that the white-haired thief went out to fight, but did not mention the recovery of Anzhou, which proves that the white-haired thief has a close relationship with Pei Shiju, but may not be related to Feng Deyi.

Feng Deyi is a native of Hebei, but relying on the old Yue Gong Yang Su and soaring, this time Yang Xuangan mutiny failed, Feng Deyi will be affected, but from Feng Deyi's current situation, his personal career has not only not shown signs of end, but has become more and more trusted by the Holy Lord, so it is not difficult to speculate that Feng Deyi must have some kind of "secret weapon" to protect him through this crisis. So what is Feng Deyi's "secret weapon"? Did he master the secret between Pei Shiju and the white-haired thief, and then use it to blackmail Pei Shiju? Otherwise, how can it be explained that both he and Pei Shiju strongly supported King Qi to fight on the border, both actively appeased the white-haired thieves, and both tried every means to force the white-haired thieves to fight? It's just that Pei Shiju left a "back hand", borrowed his strength, and borrowed the power of Feng Deyi to seek more political interests, and these political interests included a share of King Qi, King Qi could not live up to Pei Shiju's "good intentions" no matter what, and could not miss the opportunity to "rob" Feng Deyi.

"The situation is very tense, the time is very tight, and the Holy Lord and the Central have only given a one-month time limit." The matter has come to this point, and the key is here with the King of Qi, so Feng Deyi has no choice but to tell the truth and directly exchange interests with the King of Qi.

King Qi and Li Shanheng exchanged glances. Li Shanheng motioned to King Qi not to speak, and he said.

"Since the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have only given a one-month time limit, and since they know that if they want to drive the white-haired thief out of the fortress to fight to kill people with a sword, and take the opportunity to eradicate the hidden danger of the white-haired thief, they must rely on the power of the king, why can't they order the king to go north to the border?" Li Shanheng asked, "If the king does not have the edict of the Holy Lord, and leads the army north to the Great Wall just based on your words, Jing Gong will be guilty of rebellion, and it is a capital crime of plotting great rebellion, doesn't Jing Gong know this?" Since Jing Gong knows it, can he maliciously speculate that Jing Gong has other intentions? ”

Feng Deyi's face changed suddenly. Li Shanheng almost didn't point at his nose and scold him for deliberately framing the King of Qi and "pitting" to kill the King of Qi.

King Qi's face also changed, and his murderous intentions were revealed.

Feng Deyi hurriedly shook his hand and signaled the two of them to be calm. If there was no solution, how could he dare to run to King Qi to kill himself? However, this method cannot be said now, and he must wait until the king of Qi agrees to go north to the Great Wall within a month, otherwise it will be a "handle", and once he is "pitted" by the king of Qi, he will be in trouble.

"If a certain person asks the king for an edict, can the king go north to the Great Wall within a month, and the soldiers are in the wilderness, and the sword is pointed at the north?"

King Qi didn't answer, and turned his eyes to signal Li Shanheng to answer.

Li Shanheng refused, "A month? This goes to Huaihuang for more than 1,000 miles, the march will take more than ten days, in addition, a certain to prepare grain and grass, the king has to wait for the edict, and more than ten days, and to Huaihuang has to coordinate with the local government, the town garrison army, and to inquire about the news outside the Sai, etc., all in all, it is impossible to arrive in Huaihuang within a month and prepare for the battle. ”
