Chapter eight hundred and ninety first

On November 12th, Yanbei, Huaihuang, and the King of Qi went to camp.

General Zuo Xiaowei, the prefect of Yanmen, and Duke Shunzheng, rushed to Huaihuang day and night to pay homage to King Qi.

The King of Qi personally welcomed him out of the gate. The king and his ministers met very happily and smiled happily.

After entering the coach's tent and having a brief greeting, Dong Chun took the initiative to report on his specific itinerary during this period.

In accordance with the requirements of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, Dong Chun did not go north to Yanmen from Taiyuan, but went around a big circle. He first went to Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, to visit Duan Da, the remaining guard of Zhuo County, and then to Yanbei. He went to Taiyuan to discuss and coordinate the garrisons of the two counties and the encirclement and suppression of Feihu rebels. Then he went north to the Great Wall and inspected the Great Wall defense line in Yanmen County. Then he rushed to Yunnei, the capital of Mayi County, Daibei, to visit Zhang Jin, the commander of the Left Guard General, and mainly discussed and coordinated the garrison of the Great Wall. Then he went south to Taiyuan to visit the General of the Right Guard General, the Supreme Commander of the Northern Territory Army, and Guo Rong, the remaining guard of Taiyuan, and finally arrived from Taiyuan to Yanmen to take office.

This itinerary seems to be without any problems and meets actual needs. After heading north to the Great Wall, Dong Chun should also visit the King of Qi who is patrolling the border in Huaihuang. However, Dong Chun is the "label" of King Qi and is a firm supporter of the King of Qi. The transfer to the prefect of Yanmen this time is also the result of the "struggle for" by the King of Qi and the King of Qi. It is the product of the political compromise between the Holy Lord and the Central Central. Therefore, in order to avoid further "stimulation" to the Holy Lord and the Central Central Central, Dong Chun naturally needs to be low-key. He should go to Yanmen to take office in Taiyuan to go to Yanmen in the north, rather than to rush to Huaihuang to pay holy Lord and the Central Central South to publicly provoke the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Central.

King Qi was nervous about this. Dong Chun rushed to Huaihuang to pay homage to him in such a "high-profile" manner. Whether it was the request of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, the political impact it caused was not good. It was a real person and gave him a handle. Dong Chun should have a clear understanding of this and should have a correct countermeasure, but Dong Chun still came here, which is enough to prove that he had a reason to have to come.

What exactly forced Dong Chun to come?

Wei Fusi tried it and asked casually, "Is there any news that the Holy Lord returns to Beijing?"

A large group of senior generals of the Weifu Palace gathered in Gaoyang Palace, which must be discussing military decisions. As for the current domestic and international situation, the military decisions that need to be discussed urgently are nothing more than whether the eastern expedition to Goguryeo continues, whether the second western expedition will attack Tuyuhun and the Western Regions. In addition, the northern border garrison crisis, the conflict between the north and the south is becoming increasingly fierce, and both the north and the south now have political needs and military impulses to launch wars. If it is not handled properly, the war between the north and the south will soon break out.

From the standpoint of King Qi, of course, I hope that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will focus their main energy on the northern border, actively prepare for war, and launch the Civil War as soon as possible, so that he can make achievements, develop and grow, and have the possibility of a comeback in politics.

Of course, Dong Chun knew Wei Fusi's intention of tactful testing, and he had no intention of hiding it. In fact, he could not hide it either. The center had the "eye and ears" of the Qi King, and the news of the Qi King was very well-versed. Some major decisions of the center would be delivered to the Qi King sooner or later, and the Qi King must know more than him, so he could not hide it at all.

"There are many rumors about the Holy Lord returning to Beijing, but there is no accurate news from the beginning to the end of the palace. Especially after the evil news came from Jiangnan, the possibility of the Holy Lord returning to Beijing in the near future is very small."

As soon as this statement came out, the King of Qi, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng, Li Baiyao and others were very surprised. The evil news in Jiangnan? What evil news will there be in Jiangnan? Jiangnan is the political foundation of the Saint Lord. Is it the base of the reformists led by Jiangzuo people, or the largest source of wealth in Zhongtu? If something happens in Jiangnan, it will not only be a heavy blow to the Saint Lord and the Reformers, but will also have a serious impact on the stability and unification of Zhongtu.

"What happened to Jiangnan?" Wei Fusi asked immediately.

"Liu Yuanjin, a thief from Jiangnan, was appointed as the emperor based on Wujun."

Everyone looked at each other with a shocked look. At the same time, they also knew why the Holy Lord and the Central Master asked Dong Chun to go north to Huaihuang, and Dong Chun had to come.

This matter doesn't seem to be big. It's just a group of Jiangnan rebels who responded to Yang Xuangan. The suppression of peace was just a matter of suppression, but the impact was too bad, and it directly impacted the great cause of unification. China and Turkey had only been unification for more than 20 years. The time was too short, the foundation was too poor, and there were too many conflicts and conflicts. The winners and the country's destruction had a deep hatred, ulterior motives, and ambitious people. What's especially important is that the fierce collision between the centralized system that had just been established and the aristocratic system that had lasted for more than 400 years directly pushed the emerging military meritorious nobles and the wealthy families that had been passed down from generation to generation to the opposite side. Both sides were tense and about to break out, and the "war" would break out at any time. When the Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin founded the country and became emperor, the consequences would be serious, and both sides were in danger of losing money. They were afraid that they would be burned.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen, and the "demons" that endangered the great cause of Central China's unification must be strangled in the bud, and the Feihu Rebels are the first to be hit. The Feihu Rebels are not scary, but what is scary is the King of Qi. Once the two are combined, the harm will be too great, which will not only cause civil strife, but also bring external troubles. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee do not eliminate this hidden danger, let alone return to Beijing, they may not even be able to sleep.

The King of Qi looked solemn and gloomy, while Wei Fusi and others were also meditating and worried, and the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing.

After a long time, Dong Chun's voice sounded again, "The Feihu Rebels must leave the customs and must withdraw to Anzhou before the end of the year, and there is no room for negotiation."

The King of Qi frowned and his eyes were gloomy.

Wei Fusi thought for a while and said, "The situation in Anzhou is tense, and the white-haired thief has not yet established a stable foothold, so it is difficult for him to protect himself. At this moment, he will be unable to expel the Feihu rebels from the frontier."

Dong Chun sighed secretly. It was obvious that neither the King of Qi nor Wei Fusi nor the aides wanted the Feihu Rebels out of seclusion. After all, although this force was not under the control of the King of Qi, as long as the time was right, it could quickly recruit and use it for himself. In addition, it could cooperate tacitly at the critical moment, threatening the government with the safety of the northern border to profit from it. However, now the Holy Lord and the Central Master have compromised with the King of Qi and have transferred themselves to the northern border, which has substantially increased the strength of the King of Qi. How can we tolerate the King of Qi to gain a ruthless rate?

"Before a certain person left the palace, news came from Anzhou that the white-haired thief had defeated the Turkic army and had completely taken Anzhou. He had the conditions to accept the flying fox rebels." Dong Chun said, "This matter is unstoppable."

Wei Fusi smiled with a pun, saying, "It's not optimistic."

"It is precisely because of the lack of optimism that there is no way out." Dong Chun glanced at King Qi and said in a serious tone, "The Eastern Expedition must be carried out to the end. This is the attitude of the Holy Lord. The current changes in the situation in Anzhou have affected the confrontation between the north and the south, greatly reducing the resistance to the third Eastern Expedition. If the hidden danger of the Feihu Rebels can be resolved smoothly before the end of the year, the obstacles of the Third Eastern Expedition will be wiped out. In this situation, whoever deliberately sets obstacles on the Third Eastern Expedition will definitely anger the Holy Lord and will be severely attacked by the Holy Lord."

The King of Qi's face changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. A little later, he asked, "Are you optimistic about the situation in Anzhou in the palace?"

"King, the center has made a decision and openly intervened in the Northeast battlefield."

Dong Chun did not answer directly, but his words immediately attracted the attention of King Qi and others.

"Openly intervene in the Northeast battlefield?" Li Shanheng asked in surprise, "To fight the Khitan? To relieve the heavy pressure in Anzhou?"

Dong Chun shook his hand, "After defeating the Turks, Anzhou decided to take advantage of the victory to expand the results, take advantage of the desert tent to catch it off guard, and the desert reinforcements are still in favorable opportunity, and quickly head north to attack the Ruoluo River, sweep across the Donghu species, and seize the initiative."

Dong Chun then gave a detailed explanation. Although the possibility of the success of the Anzhou Northern Expedition was not high, once it was successful, the benefits obtained by Zhongtu would be too great, and the chances of winning the North-South War increased greatly. For this reason, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee were very active. On the one hand, they provided greater support to Anzhou, and on the other hand, they ordered the Liaodong Town Army to openly intervene in the Northeast battlefield. In this way, they could not only support Anzhou and help Anzhou Northern Expedition, but also to break up with the Turks, go barefoot to take down the Northeast under the right time. In other words, the Holy Lord was not optimistic about the situation in Anzhou and even the Northeast, but was bound to win.

The King of Qi suddenly had an unknown thought.

Li Fengyun's development speed is too fast. If he is strong and then demolishes the bridge, wouldn't he be useless?

When Dong Chun saw the change in King Qi's expression, he immediately guessed what he thought, so he explained quietly, "The stronger Anzhou is, the more support it needs in the Great Wall, so Anzhou's throat is pinched in the hands of the Holy Lord, which is also one of the important reasons why the Holy Lord and the Central Support Anzhou."

The King of Qi understood as soon as he heard this. It was precisely because the white-haired thief's throat and his life were in the hands of the Holy Lord that both sides had to join forces to survive, otherwise they would be defeated by the Holy Lord. However, even if Li Fengyun kept his promise, optimism did not mean success. Once the white-haired thief was defeated, the major plan to go north to develop would be severely defeated.

The strong sense of crisis made the King of Qi dare not slacken at all. He needed strength and stronger strength.

"If the situation in Anzhou is optimistic, and even the northern expedition is weak, the Luoshui River will be successful, and the overall situation of the north-south confrontation will undergo tremendous changes, the Turks in the desert will inevitably react strongly and counterattack wildly." The King of Qi pointed to the northeast and was worried. "At the beginning of next year, the Turkic army gathered on both sides of the Lightning River. Not only will Anzhou be difficult to protect, but Yanbei is also in danger. Once the war between the north and the south breaks out, it will be lonely and weak, and even if it is crushed to pieces, it will be difficult to protect the Great Wall."

Dong Chun nodded slightly and agreed with what King Qi said. The three tribes in the northeast are other tribes of the Turks, and the northeast is the territory of the Turks. The tiger's mouth robbed food in the middle earth. How could the Turks swallow their anger and let them slaughter? In the midst of anger, who can guarantee that the war between the north and the south will not break out?

"Of course, under the current situation, it is obviously impossible to increase the strength of the Great Wall garrison. However, if a general who can conquer and fight can be transferred to the north of Yan, he will be able to reach a 100,000 army, and the Great Wall defense will be strengthened in the shortest time."

Dong Chun sighed bitterly, "Your intimacy is enough. Once you anger the Holy Lord, the consequences will be worrying."

"Does the king have a suitable candidate?" Dong Chun had to ask. He was entrusted to come and reported the result to the Holy Lord. He thought that the King of Qi would make concessions, but he did not expect that the King of Qi would ignore it. The lion spoke loudly and was unscrupulous.

The King of Qi looked at Wei Fusi, and the two had a tacit understanding and smiled at each other.

"I think Duke of Hui (Li Hun) is very suitable."
