Chapter 626: Feng Deyi's Choice
It was Yu Wenshu's son Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhihe who caused the Yulin storm that year. These two nobles violated the ban and smuggled weapons to the desert captives, which was actually tantamount to treason, and they were found to be reported.
But what does this old thing have to do with today's white-haired thieves? What exactly is Feng Deyi trying to imply? Is it a hint that the top level is about to start a struggle again, or is it a hint that there are people at the top who have betrayed the country?
At that time, although Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and his brothers were exempted from the death penalty, but the living sin was unforgivable, and they would never be able to die, fortunately Yuwenshu was safe and sound under the "protection" of the Holy Lord, and among the powerful people who took advantage of this incident to attack Yuwenshu, there was also one person who escaped the catastrophe, that is, Su Wei.
At the core layer of the center, Yuwenshu and Su Wei are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they are fighting openly and secretly, and they are political enemies to the death.
If the white-haired thief is behind the Guanlong people, then there is a reasonable explanation for a series of "tacit understandings" between the white-haired thief and the king of Qi, and this time the white-haired thief and the king of Qi jointly "entered" the northern frontier, it seems that the name is to help the king of Qi seize the prince, but in fact there is another plan, it is very likely to deliberately sabotage the relationship between the north and the south, provoke a war between the north and the south, and destroy the plan of the holy lord and the reformers to conquer the desert, so as to retaliate against the containment and attack of the eastern capital on Xijing, in the final analysis, it is still a dispute between conservatism and reform.
The Holy Lord's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is it good or bad to cut off Yanbei's smuggling?" ”
Feng Deyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Holy Lord is wise, what he thinks is different, for him the identity of the white-haired thief is not important, what matters is who the white-haired thief is working for, what is the purpose of the white-haired thief's cooperation with the King of Qi, as for what secrets are between the white-haired thief and Yuwenshu, and what role the Hebei people play in the process of the white-haired thief going north, he doesn't pay attention to it, and he doesn't need to pay attention, he only needs the result, and the result is the most important.
Feng Deyi was originally worried that the Holy Lord was "staring" at the white-haired thief to "get to the bottom of it", but now it seems that he is too worried. Of course, whether the Holy Lord believed Feng Deyi's words, or saw through Feng Deyi's "tricks", and guessed that he deliberately "smeared" Guan Longren and deliberately hated Yuwen Shula, it is unknown.
However, since the Holy Lord took the initiative to change the topic, Feng Deyi's attention quickly focused on "Yanbei smuggling". In an instant, he figured out a rough pulse, deduced the Holy Lord's intentions, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. The Holy Lord still believed in him, and this time he took the initiative to give him a chance to perform meritorious service, so as to block the "mouth" of those with ill intentions, so that in the next political reckoning, even if someone played to impeach him, the Holy Lord would have a reason to give him "protection" and help him to resolve this sudden "unjustified disaster" lightly.
However, is it good or bad to cut off Yanbei smuggling? In his eagerness, Feng Deyi hesitated.
From the standpoint of the Lord's Peace faction, conniving at Yanbei's smuggling is an effective auxiliary means to maintain North-South relations, and cutting it off will certainly worsen North-South relations and do more harm than good. However, from the standpoint of the main battle faction, the desert north captives have risen and are developing rapidly, and there must be a fight between the two tigers and a war between the north and the south, which is not only a historical law, but also determined by the current pattern of the three great powers of Middle-earth, West-earth, and the desert.
The reason why the current relations between the North and the South are tense and deteriorating is not because of the intransigence of the Middle Earth, but because of the insatiable greed and step by step of the North and the earth, so the Middle Earth should resolutely change its attitude towards the North and be tough, strong, and strong, even at the cost of fighting to the death. In this way, if the North can be forced to compromise and make concessions, the tense North-South relations will naturally be eased, after all, the creator of the tension between the North and the South is the North Captive, not Middle-earth, on the contrary, if the North Captives do not know whether to live or die, they have to confront Middle-earth head-on, and the worst result is the North-South War, and Middle-earth is not afraid of the North-South War, and with a solid Great Wall defense line, the enemy can be kept out of the country.
Therefore, from the standpoint of the main battle faction, Yanbei smuggling is no longer a matter of great benefits and disadvantages, but a serious threat to the interests of Middle Earth, which should have been cut off a long time ago, and all connivance and participants are traitors and traitors and should be killed.
Feng Deyi gritted his teeth and resolutely decided. He is a native of Hebei, and he is originally a political enemy with Su Wei of Guanlong and Xiao Yu of Jiangzuo, and his sudden change of position on north-south relations does not mean that he "betrayed" Su Wei and Xiao Yu. Everyone is not a "person all the way", and it is normal to cooperate when there are common interests, and when there is a conflict of interests, they will part ways or even draw knives against each other. As for Pei Shi, he has already made a clear hint in the letter, giving Feng Deyi support, understanding and understanding.
"Holy Lord, after Pei Shilang's westward journey achieves his goal, the general trend of China and foreign countries will change rapidly." Feng Deyi did not answer the Holy Lord directly, but went straight to the "key point".
"According to Pei Shilang, west of the Green Mountains, the situation of the Great Qin people (Byzantine Empire) is becoming more and more difficult, if the Great Qin people are destroyed by the Persians, then the Western Turks will have to face the attack of the Persians alone, which is very unfavorable to the Western Turks, so Pei Shilang believes that now the Western Turks are actually ready to attack the Persians, and the reason why they focus on the Western Regions, and even move their tents to the Western Regions, is to paralyze the Persians on the one hand, and on the other hand, to force our Middle Earth to join forces with them to attack the northern captives of the desert."
"But the real purpose of the Western Turks is definitely not to attack the desert north, they will not spend their limited strength in the east of the green ridge, but to take advantage of the east-west attack to put heavy pressure on the desert north, so as to force the desert north to compromise, have to sign an alliance with the city to non-aggression, so that the Western Turks can free up their hands to attack the Persians, in order to solve the urgent needs of the Great Qin people, and the desert north can use the power of the Western Turks to contain our Northwest Army in the Middle Earth at the same time, concentrate all forces to invade our northern frontier, Taking advantage of the exhaustion of our Middle-earth army from the continuous eastward crusades, we inflicted heavy losses on our Middle-earth, so as to get rid of the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on the back and fighting on two fronts, and temporarily alleviate its unfavorable situation in the three-power pattern. ”
In fact, to put it simply, in order to be able to attack the Persians without worry, the Western Turks had to provoke a great war between the north and the south, and let the Middle Earth and the desert northern captives fight to the death. When two tigers fight, one will be wounded, and the other will be scarred, and only in this way can the Western Turks avoid fighting on two fronts in the war with the Persians.
The layout of the Western Turks is not complicated, Pei Shiju can see it very clearly, but what makes people helpless is that the luck of the Western Turks is very good, and the current general trend at home and abroad happens to help the Western Turks a lot, as long as the Western Turks "operate" with their hearts, they can provoke a civil war.
It is most beneficial for the Western Turks to defeat both the Middle Earth and the Great Desert North Captives, and it can give the Western Turks five to ten years of war time, of course, if one of them can be defeated, whether it is the division of Middle Earth or the collapse of the desert tent, the Western Turks will "laugh and blossom", which can win it ten or even twenty years of war time. The current Persians are too strong, and the Western Turks must join forces with the Great Qin to compete with them, but the Great Qin people need to stand up from the ruins of the war, so the war west of the Green Ridge is protracted and has little chance of ending within ten years, which is why the Western Turks first concentrated their forces on the Western Regions, and it must ensure the safety of its "Eastern Front".
In other words, from the analysis of this future trend, the Great War between the North and the South is not whether it will break out, but when it will break out, and it is not whether Middle-earth wants to fight or not, but whether the Northern Captives must fight.
If the desert captives do not hit Middle-earth, and do not hit Middle-earth in the shortest possible time, the Western Turks will "not be able to sit still", because the time of the Western Turks is very tight. If the Persians suddenly send troops to fight the Persians in order to cut off the "Silk Road" to the help of the Great Qin people and cut off the "life-saving straw" of the Great Qin people, the Western Turks are fighting on two fronts, and the situation is too difficult. And Middle-earth does have the will and motivation for the Northern Expedition, and the Holy Lord and the Center do need the victory of the Northern Expedition to reverse the political crisis. The two tigers still competed with each other, but the third tiger was eyeing each other, which was too unfavorable to the desert and the north, and even if the Western Turks "did not work hard", the desert and the north were difficult to parry, and they would have to shed their skin if they did not die.
Therefore, from the standpoint of the desert captives, instead of "sitting and waiting to be killed", it is better to fight to the death, it is better to fight with Middle-earth, so that two tigers fight, and the other one hides to the side to watch the excitement, which is beneficial to the desert captives, even if the loss is large, but there will be no defeat. More importantly, after the war between the Western Turks and the Persians began, the east of the Green Ridge was a pattern of two tigers contending, and after Middle-earth got up from the "mud pond" of the war to recover its strength, it was still necessary to go on a northern expedition, or to sweep the desert, so for the desert Beiyu, the late fight is also a fight, and the early fight is also a fight, it is better to fight early, so that the desert Beiyu can still use the power of the Western Turks, and can also occupy some advantages in the war, even if the result is a defeat for both sides, it can be accepted, after all, the desert Beiyu gives? We have gained more time for development.
"Holy Lord, in today's deliberations, this is the reason why the Lord and the Peacemakers collectively lost their voices." Feng Deyi said bluntly, "The Northwest Crisis forced our Middle Earth to strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks, so we can only promise the Western Turks to join forces with them to attack Dajin Mountain, which is tantamount to declaring war on the Great Desert Northern Captives, and is equivalent to forcing the Great Desert Northern Captives to fight to the death with our Middle Earth, so the Great Northern War will break out soon, and it is optimistically estimated that it will only be within two or three years." ”
"Of course, there are many people who have illusions about the desert and insist on the main and position, because they do not understand the situation west of the Green Ridge, and they do not agree with Pei Shilang's deduction of the future trend, but the minister believes Pei Shilang. Pei Shilang has presided over foreign affairs for decades, and in today's court, if you talk about foreign affairs, he is an absolute authority. Therefore, the minister believes that now we do not have to weigh the pros and cons of cutting off the smuggling in Yanbei, but we must evaluate the gains and losses of launching a great war between the north and the south, and we must actively make preparations for war, and the most urgent task at the moment is to launch the Third Eastern Crusade and first resolve the crisis in the Far East. ”
The Holy Lord looked relieved, and was very happy with Feng Deyi's "support" at the critical moment, after all, this was an important period related to the fate of Middle-earth and the kingdom, and it was much better to have one more ally than one more enemy politically.
