Wei Fusi pondered for a moment. Considering that protecting the King of Qi means protecting his own interests, the King of Qi cannot be defeated on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, so he had to explain patiently.

The army learned from the past, and more than 100,000 Central Earth troops killed the Liao River and could not destroy Goguryeo. From the 18th year of Kaihuang (598 AD), the late emperor's eastern expedition to Goguryeo, to now, Zhongtu has actually attacked Goguryeo three times. The first time was Yang Liang, the King of Han, and the assistant of Gao Yang, Wang Shiji and Zhou Luohou, and 300,000 troops advanced together on land and land. As a result, the warship capsized on the sea, with heavy casualties and returning without success. The second time was the Holy Lord as the commander, Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen,

Lai Huer and other large groups of commanders of the Weifu were assisted, claiming to be a million troops in the east, advancing on the water and land. As a result, Sashui was defeated, with nearly 200,000 soldiers killed and injured, and returned with great defeat. The third time was the commander of the Holy Lord, Yuwen Shu, Yang Yichen and others assisted, and more than 200,000 troops advanced on the water and land. As a result, they were blocked by the city of Liaodong. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured for more than two months. They were about to conquer, but Yang Xuangan launched the Dongdu mutiny in the country, and the expeditionary army had to retreat, but failed.

This proves that the third Eastern Expedition of the Holy Lord, that is, the fourth attack on Goguryeo in Middle-earth, would it be impossible to destroy Goguryeo if there were only a hundred thousand troops, coupled with the unprecedented harsh domestic and international environment. Even though Goguryeo was already scarred and dying, its entire nation was full of soldiers, and its perseverance would be the will of perseverance. More importantly, it also had the Far East ally of the Marai tribe, as well as the two little brothers Silla and Baekje. His lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and Goguryeo was destroyed, and the Far East overlord was destroyed. Will the Far East tribes still have a future? There is still hope? Faced with the invasion of such a giant as Middle-earth, the Far East tribes had no power to fight back, but when Goguryeo fought to the death, the rabbit died and the fox was sad. These barbarian tribes might secretly help and take a risk.

"The reason why the Central Government has been unable to make the decision on the third eastern expedition is very complicated, but the most critical thing is that the number of troops is the serious shortage. If it is drawn from Yingyang Prefecture in various places, the power of the garrison in Guanlong, Shandong and Jiangzuo will inevitably be further weakened and will inevitably affect the local quelling rebellion. Once the domestic rebellion sets off, the domestic situation will deteriorate rapidly, and the Grand Canal of the North and South will be severed. At that time, not to mention that the eastern expedition cannot continue, the security of the towns and garrisons in the Western and Northern expeditions will also be affected, and even the war between the North and South will be possible to lose." Wei Fusi sighed, "The reason why the Holy Lord and the Central Government compromised with Andong, the reason why Li Pingyuan made a comeback, and the conspiracy of the white-haired thief succeeded is that Andong has a hundred thousand army, and these 100,000 army can not only affect and even determine the success or failure of the third eastern expedition, but also directly affect the victory or defeat of the North and South war."

The King of Qi was surprised, "Anton has a hundred thousand army? Do you really believe that Anton has a hundred thousand army?"

"Of course." Wei Fusi said without hesitation, "I do not believe in the white-haired thief, but I cannot believe in Pei Shiju."

The King of Qi was speechless and a little later, he asked in confusion, "Where did Anton get the 100,000 army?"

"Anton did not have a 100,000 army before." Li Shanheng looked at him and sighed helplessly, "It was just that when the Feihu Rebels left the pass, Anton had a 100,000 army."

King Qi was speechless again. He understood Li Shanheng's meaning. He had a very good opportunity to take the Feihu rebels for himself in the name of suppressing rebellion and suppressing thieves. Even when Li Fengyun went out of the frontier, he had already given this opportunity. After that, Feihu was also looking forward to it. However, if he wanted to seize this opportunity, he would have to pay the price of open confrontation with the Holy Lord or even breaking apart. He did not want to anger the Holy Lord, nor did he want to confront the Holy Lord head-on, so that the father and son turned against each other and their blood was destroyed.

But he did not regret it. Everyone has a bottom line, and his bottom line is that he cannot betray his father. Although he was a little excited during the mutiny of Yang Xuangan, he finally successfully killed the "demon" in his heart. He was always wary and suspicious of the plan to go north by Li Fengyun. After all, Yang Liang, the King of Han, is a bloody example. Perhaps Yang Liang, the King of Han, did not want to compete for the imperial throne and did not want to fight for the brothers. Unfortunately, there were too many conspirators around him and countless traps and tricks. In the end, he couldn't help but embark on the road of no return.

Looking back now, King Qi feels that his choice is correct, and the bottom line is that he cannot be surpassed. He must be loyal to Middle Earth and to the Holy Lord. He has received generous rewards for this. The father "rewarded" himself an inner historian and became one of the core members of the center. This shows that even though the father has not forgiven himself for going against him in political ideas, he has at least begun to recognize his talents and recognize his achievements. This is a good start. As long as he lives up to his father's expectations, there is still a lot of potential in the future.

King Qi corrected his mentality and said calmly, "In Gu's opinion, Anton's 100,000 army is still the treasure of the Holy Lord after all."

Wei Fusi had no expression on his face, but a hint of contempt flashed through his eyes.

Li Shanheng then sighed, "The white-haired thief went to Goguryeo with an army of 100,000 to expedition to Goguryeo. The goal is self-evident, that is, to destroy Goguryeo to strengthen himself. Therefore, even if the battlefield in the Eastern Expedition was a trap, he would jump in without hesitation. However, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind it. It is unknown who is the oriole on the battlefield in the Eastern Expedition."

The King of Qi smiled contemptuously, "Does it seem to you that the white-haired thief is the yellow bird?"

Li Shanheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help it. He replied without hesitation, "I'm afraid that the white-haired thief is not a yellow bird, but a prehistoric beast rushing into the battlefield."

The King of Qi sneered, "So what about the beasts in the prehistoric world? Can he still swallow Goguryeo in one bite?"

Li Shanheng glanced at King Qi, looked solemn and said seriously, "What if he swallowed Goguryeo in one bite?"

The King of Qi wanted to refute it, but saw that Wei Fusi had a solemn expression and immediately realized that he might have thought things simple, so he asked, "Why do you have such inference?"

Li Shanheng stood up, walked to the side of the case, spread out a volume of military map of the Northeastern border, and then slowly drew a circle on the map under the gaze of the King of Qi.

King Qi suddenly realized, "Separation and domination?"

"The white-haired thief's plan to go north is essentially a separatist dominance." Li Shanheng pointed to the map and said, "The white-haired thief has taken Anton. If he swept Goguryeo and connected Anton, western Liaodong into one, he would win a vast foothold."

The King of Qi was skeptical, but at this time Wei Fusi said something, leaving the King of Qi speechless.

"Last year in Liyang, Li Fengyun predicted that the Holy Lord would launch the third Eastern Expedition, and the result was fulfilled. This year, Li Fengyun told us again that the war between the north and the south will break out in the summer and autumn next year. If it is fulfilled, the army of the Guards gathered on the front line of the Great Wall and fought fiercely with the Turks, then how many garrison troops can be left in Andong, western Liaoning and Liaodong?"

This meaning is very straightforward. Since Li Fengyun swept Goguryeo with the third Eastern Expedition, he would inevitably use the North-South War to seize the North-Eastern Frontier. Because he is visionary, good at seizing the fight, and ambitious, he can imagine what the future will be.

Because of this, Li Fengyun is not afraid of the trap of the Eastern Expedition battlefield, because he can afford to fight. If he loses, he will flee back to Andong to be a horse thief. However, the Holy Lord cannot afford to fight. Even if he wins, the Expedition Army will lose its troops and be scarred. So what if the war between the North and the South breaks out next year? Can the Holy Lord and the Central Committee afford to bear the serious consequences of losing the North and the South?

The more you listen to the King of Qi, the less you feel. His right-hand man admired the white-haired thief, which is wrong. This is obviously a mystery.

"You have something to say." King Qi sighed, "Since you want to say it, then say it, and you will speak all the time, and listen with your own ears."

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other and nodded at the same time. King Qi grew up in the greenhouse, was cowardly by nature and had an instinctive fear of the bloody and cruel political struggles, but this did not mean that he was willing to tie his hands and let others slaughter him.

"King, this is a trap." Wei Fusi said slowly with a careful word on the edict on the desk.

The King of Qi frowned slightly and asked, "Inner Historian? Or the Liaodong ambassador to comfort him?"

“Both are.”

The King of Qi's expression gradually became gloomy. After a long time, he asked again, "Where will the plan come out?"

The King of Qi was passive, just like this time the Holy Lord ordered him to lead his army to the east, and he had to go. Not going was to resist the order. Resisting the order was equivalent to rebellion. Unless he was desperate and sacrificed his fortune, he could only bow his head. Similarly, when he arrived on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, if the Holy Lord summoned him and wanted to leave him in the palace, he would be powerless to resist. After all, his army was loyal to the Holy Lord and obeyed the command of the Holy Lord. Even if he hid in the army and did not come out, he had nowhere to hide.

"Go to the point." Wei Fusi said.

The King of Qi was a little stunned and looked panicked. He was afraid of the Holy Lord and even more afraid of returning to Dongdu. However, if he had a plan, he had to return to the Holy Lord and return to Dongdu. In this way, he would be imprisoned and entered the cage at any time.

"The king has the merits of suppressing rebellions and suppressing bandits, suppressing Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and opening up the border and Andong. If he makes military achievements on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, it will be reasonable and law. The Holy Lord will not attack the king in the short term, especially before the end of the North-South War. On the contrary, the Holy Lord will send the message that the king has made a comeback to the two capitals with important tasks, thus effectively alleviating the fierce struggle between the two capitals so that the two capitals can unite to the outside world and concentrate their efforts to win the North-South War."

"What then?" asked King Qi, "What should I do next?"

Wei Fusi wanted to speak but stopped, but Li Shanheng hesitated for a moment and spoke, "As far as I know, the white-haired thief is very pessimistic about the outcome of the war between the north and the south."

The King of Qi was angry, "Do you believe the nonsense of the white-haired thief?"

"We do not believe in the white-haired thief." Wei Fusi sighed, "but we believe in Pei Shiju."

The King of Qi wanted to scold him angrily, but Li Shanheng added in time, "Why did the Holy Lord and the Central Master compromise with Anton? After Pei Shiju returned from the west, why did he hurried to Anton again, even on New Year's Eve?"

"What do you want to say?" King Qi couldn't figure it out for a moment, and asked directly.

"Pei Shiju's journey to the west may have been far worse than we imagined, and there was no result at all. What he might have received might be a bunch of short promises." Li Shanheng said, "Otherwise, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would never make concessions on the military power of Anton. Pei Shiju would not go to Anton day and night, and the white-haired thief would not lead a 100,000 army to go to Goguryeo. These extremely unreasonable things happened one after another, and there was only one most reasonable explanation, that is, they would spare no expense to win the battle between the north and the south."

The King of Qi was a little unbelievable, "You mean that the two Turks in the East and West may join forces to invade Middle Earth?"

"The king, it's not possible, but certain that the two Turks in the east and west will definitely join forces to invade Middle Earth."

The King of Qi suddenly realized and finally understood what "scheme" Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng called "scheme". There was no doubt that it was a conspiracy. For the sake of their personal and group interests, they would sacrifice the benefits of Middle-earth and the country. This was something that King of Qi could not tolerate and was his bottom line. In comparison, he would rather be imprisoned by the Holy Lord, rather than cut off his political life than lose the Civil War in Middle-earth, and rather than suffer the misfortune of Middle-earth creatures. After all, this is his Yang family, his Yang family's home, and the fundamental interests of Yang family.
