According to the existing information, Feng Deyi re-"sorted out" the secrets hidden behind the Gaoyang crisis, and the results surprised him.

He can be sure that this is a "big chess", a delicate arrangement for the deteriorating North-South relations, in which the King of Qi is very crucial, but the King of Qi is just a chess piece, which can have a certain impact on the security of northern Xinjiang, but cannot determine the direction of North-South relations.

There are only two forces that determine the direction of the relationship between the North and the South, one is the Holy Lord and the Center, and the other is the Shibi Khan and the Tooth Tent.

For Middle-earth, lying next to the couch, not allowing others to snore, the more the desert north captives grow, the greater the threat to Middle-earth, it will directly affect the supreme authority of the world co-lord, so the desert north captives must be contained and weakened, and they must be strangled in the rise. For the desert Beiyu, the lion of Middle-earth is staring at him, and there is an existential crisis all the time, so he must develop and grow, and in addition to his own vigorous growth, he must also seize all opportunities and use all means to attack and weaken his opponent.

In other words, on the smiling faces of the two sides shaking hands and making peace, there is actually a murderous intention to kill each other, and as long as there is an opportunity, this murderous thought will explode, and the two sides will treacherously draw their swords against each other. History proves that in the history of the Civil War, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once killed the Huns to the ground, and even drove them out of the desert, and Xianbei and other Wuhu captives also roared down, swept across the Central Plains, and suppressed the Middle Turks north of the Yangtze River. Taking history as a mirror, the unification of the Middle Earth people dreamed of sealing the wolf and rebuilding the great cause of the Han Dynasty; The Turkic people who rose in the desert did not forget to drink the Yellow River and reproduce the glory of their ancestors.

The blood of the North and the South has always flowed with heroic ambition and fierce fighting spirit, which is destined to be the main theme of the North-South relationship, and in the process of the rise of either or both the North and the South, the voice of the main battle in the highest decision-making level is deafening, and the war is also like a shadow.

The same is true of North-South relations today, with both the North and the South on the rise and war on the rise. Middle-earth has launched a western and eastern crusade, and although it has not yet collided head-on with the Turkic northern captives, the purpose of Middle-earth to eradicate its wings and weaken its power is "unobstructed", so both sides know that there will be a war, both know that war is about to begin, and both are actively preparing for war.

Middle-earth will not take the initiative to give up the Great War of the North and South because of the defeat of the two Eastern Crusades, the reason is very simple, in the early stage of Middle-earth is like a tiger, aggressive, has ridden to the back of the tiger, the arrow has been wound, and the desert Beiyu has also ridden on the back of the tiger, and has been full of bowstrings, at this time Middle-earth suddenly does not advance but retreats, cowardice does not fight, which is equivalent to self-defeat.

So is there a way to make the desert captives "retreat in the face of difficulties", let the desert captives show weakness to Middle-earth, and take the initiative to give up the war between the north and the south?

Theoretically, there are still methods, such as fierce conflicts within the tooth tent, internal strife or rebellion in the Great Alliance, and the desert northern captives are too busy to take care of themselves, and of course they are unable to carry out a civil war.

In the late reign of the first emperor, in the last years of the emperor's reign, the Eastern and Western Turks broke out into a civil war, and the captives killed each other, and the people of Middle-earth took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use various means such as discord and provocation to rob and fall into the ground, and finally won the greatest result at the lowest cost, successfully attacked and weakened the northern captives, eased the tense relations between the north and the south, stabilized the situation in the frontier, and ushered in a period of high development in Middle-earth. However, the Turks and other kinds of Hulu still remember their sudden decline vividly, and they hate the Middle-earths who are insidious and cunning and take advantage of the fire to rob, so they should not make the same mistake in the short term, and give the Middle-earthers a chance to "win without a fight".

Since this kind of opportunity can be met but not sought, then instead of pinning hopes on the emergence of a "miracle", it is better to create a "miracle" by itself, so the Holy Lord and the main battle faction in the center have the idea of continuing the Eastern Crusade, with the complete victory of the Third Eastern Crusade, to cut off the "hand" stretched out to the Far East by the Northern Desert, to show the strong strength of Middle-earth, to curb the expansion of the Northern Desert, to make the roar of the "tiger" of Middle-earth more terrifying, to make the arrows on the longbow of Middle-earth more lethal, and then to achieve the purpose of deterring and intimidating the Northern Captives, Delay the outbreak of the Great War of the Civil and Southern War, and give Middle-earth more and more time to prepare for the Civil War.

Of course, from the perspective of Middle-earth, this is also a theoretical assumption. If the Northern Captives have a sober and correct "interpretation" of the situation between the North and the South, know that the Civil War will definitely break out, know that the Middle Earth is at the end of the strong crossbow after three consecutive East Days, and know that the Middle Turks are deliberately bluffing in the relations between the North and the South in order to achieve the purpose of deception, the North Captives will definitely take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale war when the vitality of the Middle Earth is seriously damaged, and take advantage of your illness to kill you, and do their best to deal a heavy blow to Middle-earth. In this way, Middle-earth will be in trouble, and even if the Great Wall is finally defended, the price paid will be very heavy.

Therefore, as far as the current situation between the North and the South is concerned, all forecasts are pessimistic. For the Holy Lord and the Center, we cannot pin the fate of Middle-earth on "miracles", nor on wishful thinking, let alone hope that the enemy will make mistakes, but must face it positively, have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the ship, dare to burn the jade, and die if we fight timidly.

So back to the "original point", the Holy Lord adhered to the position of the main battle, and the voice of the main battle in the center not only did not decrease with the defeat of the two Eastern Crusades, but became louder and louder, and the attitude of the main battle faction, especially the main battle faction of the military, in the national defense strategy became more and more tough, which has seriously affected the central decision-making.

Why can't the Holy Lord endure it at the moment? Why is the center so secretive about the future of the Crusades? The point is that the attitude of the military is not yet clear.

At present, the two most powerful bigwigs in the military, General Yu Wenshu of Zuo Yiwei and General Lai Hu'er of Right Yiwei, are both on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, as long as they kill Yang Xuangan in the shortest possible time, calm the storm, and stabilize the situation in the Eastern Capital, the military will inevitably make a statement on the future of the Eastern Expedition.

Either we should stop the crusade and put all our strength on the stability of the domestic situation, and we must first settle the interior before we go outside, and we would rather swallow our anger and make compromises and concessions to the northern captives, and we should first consolidate the ruling position of the Holy Lord and the reformers; Either continue the crusade to the east, put all their forces on the confrontation between the north and the south, and actively prepare for the great war between the north and the south, as long as the northern captives dare to invade the south, they will do their best to deal a head-on blow, and would rather burn the jade and stones, but also keep the enemy out of the country, and keep the final political bottom line for the holy lord and the center.

The former is politically hostile to the Holy Lord and the reformers, and they must compromise and make concessions both internally and externally, and the reform will definitely fall into stagnation and regression, although it seems to be safe and safe, and after a period of suffering, they can keep the clouds open and see the moon, but if they are not careful, they will be "embattled", if the external northern captives resolutely invade, the rebellions of the internal opposition will also rise and fall, and under the internal and external attacks, there will be the danger of annihilation; Although there is also the worry of the annihilation of the whole army, as long as the Great War of the North and the South is won, it will not only make the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee reach a new height, but also give the Holy Lord and the reformers time and space to continue to promote the reform, on the contrary, if they are defeated, they can only compromise internally and externally, and the reform will inevitably stagnate and regress, and the ruling position will also be in jeopardy, which is no different from the result of the former.

In that case, why not give it a go? Especially for the military with a hard-line attitude, since the final result of the main battle and the main peace may be the same, then why should the main peace? Of course, we must fight to the death and defend the dignity of Middle-earth with blood and lives.

Therefore, Feng Deyi is pessimistic about the trend of North-South relations, and the "main peace" stance has been difficult at the highest decision-making level of the center, and once the "main war" idea controls the central decision-making, the Third Eastern Crusade will explode, and the North-South War will also explode.

Under this trend, the king of Qi went north to the border, which means that the attitude of the Middle Earth side is getting tougher and tougher, which not only does not help to ease the relationship between the north and the south, but will give a stronger hint to the desert north. Under the pressure of the crisis, the war preparations will be faster and more active, and the degree of the Great War in the North and the South may be faster.

It can be inferred from this that the driving force behind King Qi's northward march to the border is the Holy Lord, the central main battle faction, and the main battle boss of the military, and the only military bosses who have recently contacted King Qi are Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er, these two happen to be the absolute henchmen of the Holy Lord and the firm supporters of the Holy Lord.

If the main battle faction deliberately set up this "chess game" for the Third Eastern Crusade and the Great War of the North and South, with the King of Qi as their "chess piece" and the white thief as the "chess piece" of the King of Qi, then the King of Qi gave up control of the Grand Canal, and the white thief quietly went north, the sudden explosion of the Gaoyang crisis is reasonable, and a reasonable explanation can be found.

The purpose of the white thief's attack on Gaoyang and the Gaoyang crisis was to grandly launch the King of Qi, and the purpose of launching the King of Qi was to pave the way for the Holy Lord and the main battle faction to forcibly launch the Third Eastern Crusade and the Great Northern War.

Feng Deyi weighed it for a long time, resolutely decided, and wrote a letter to his cronies and subordinates through a private channel, and forwarded it to Pei Shiju, the deputy governor of the Yellow Gate, the deputy governor of Menxia Province, and repeatedly instructed him to be quick and confidential.

The Ministry of Menxia and the Ministry of Internal History are in charge of the same secrets, discuss national affairs together, and are responsible for reviewing edicts, signing seals, and having the right to refute them. The so-called refutation is "to return the emperor's inappropriate edicts, and to refute the violation of the rules and regulations of the ministers", this power is very great, and it directly supervises the emperor and the ruler. When the provincial governor of the court is Nayan Suwei, an old minister of the three dynasties in Guanzhong; There are two deputy governors, one is Pei Shiju of the Pei family in Hedong, and the other is Zhao Changwen of Tianshui in Longxi, both of whom are old ministers of the Three Dynasties.

Among the three central core institutions, the Ministry of Internal History is the decision-maker, and the edicts and decrees come from the internal history; The ministry also participates in decision-making and is responsible for reviewing edicts; Shangshu Province is also involved in decision-making and is responsible for the implementation of edicts and decrees. Shangshu Province has six departments, with more personnel and many factions, while the Inner History Province and Menxia Province have fewer personnel, among which the two governors of Inner History Province are Jiangzuo people, and the three governors of Menxia Province are all Guanlong people, although Yu Shiji and Xiao Yu belong to the Jiangnan and Jingchu factions in the Jiangzuo aristocratic group, and Nayan Su Wei and Huangmen Shilang Pei Shiju and Zhao Changwen also belong to the Guanzhong, Hedong and Longxi factions in the Guanlong aristocratic group, but in terms of the overall interests of the group, the "heads" of these two major decision-making bodies are obviously needle-to-needle and do not give in to each other.

Feng Deyi belongs to the Shandong aristocratic group, and is "distinct" from the two aristocratic groups of Guanlong and Jiangzuo. This kind of political "clear distinction" is extremely important in the high-level, especially in today's situation where the wealthy families firmly occupy political resources, and the "wall-riding faction" has no place to exist in the high-level at all.

In the past, the meritorious ministers Gao Gong and Yang Su were both famous for their "Bole", and they repeatedly promoted and recommended people from different factions, and Feng Deyi was promoted and recommended by Yang Su, but this is not only a political need after reunification, but also a large number of interest exchanges are hidden behind it. There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, the wise saying.

Feng Deyi and Pei Shiju are not political allies, but because they are both former ministers of the former dynasty and have common interests, they can cooperate politically and mutually beneficial at critical moments. Now Feng Deyi urgently needs Pei Shiju's help. Yang Xuangan's rebellion will definitely affect Feng Deyi, in order to save himself, Feng Deyi plans to ask Pei Shiju for help, but how to ask for help? What can I get in exchange for Pei Shiju's help?

Can Feng Deyi's secret letter to Pei Shiju impress Pei Shiju?
