On March 26th, Yuwen Shu and Guo Rong were in pain and failed to give advice, so they could only watch the King of Qi lead the army northward.

What the Saint Lord and Yuwen Shu and other central core levels were most worried about was that the King of Qi and Li Fengyun publicly formed an alliance on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and with strong strength to influence the result of the Third Eastern Expedition. In this way, the Saint Lord and the Central Expedition were very passive, and the Commander of the Eastern Expedition might also lose control of this battle. However, because of Pei Shiju's promise and leaving the King of Qi in Huaihuang, the Saint Lord had weaker control over him during the Eastern Expedition, which led to greater variables. Therefore, the two evils were the least. The Saint Lord still transferred the King of Qi to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and the most worried thing happened.

This sudden change had a great impact and had serious consequences. However, for the four generals of the Guard, Guo Rong, Li Jing, Xue Shixiong and Cui Hongsheng, they had little say, and had little corresponding responsibilities, even when they were at the central decision-making level or the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition. Although they were helpless and had no choice but to do anything, they were not under great pressure. The only one who really felt that the pressure was high was Yuwen Shu.

Yuwen Shu felt very difficult. He still knew the thoughts of the Holy Lord. Just a legitimate prince like the King of Qi, of course he had high hopes. Even though the father and son are contrary to their political ideas, the conflicts and conflicts are becoming more and more intense. However, the Holy Lord still had a little thought and gave the King of Qi a chance to reform. It was far from the desperate point of the father and son turning against each other and eating the son. Therefore, Yuwen Shu had to tolerate the willful and arbitrary behavior in the face of the King of Qi.

Of course, he had to take responsibility for his "condonation". Once the most worried thing became reality, the King of Qi betrayed the Holy Lord, Li Fengyun went back on his word, and the two joined forces to harm the Eastern Expedition, resulting in the third Eastern Expedition being ineffective and even defeated again. He and Pei Shiju must have paid a heavy price for this. However, compared with the losses of the interests of the country and the deep crisis that Middle-earth was invasive, their personal losses were really insignificant, and even if they died, they could not redeem their sins.

Yuwen Shu thought for a long time and made a resolute decision. Since he had to take responsibility anyway, it would be better to put the overall situation first and win the victory of the third Eastern Expedition at any cost. This will ensure that the interests of the country will not be lost. As for personal interests, I will ignore them. After all, if the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?

Yuwen Shu reported to the Holy Lord truthfully. The King of Qi went north to Fuyu to patrol the border and urged Li Pingyuan and Anton's army to go south as soon as possible. This led to a major hidden worry. Once the Anton army failed to arrive in Huaiyuan in time, the attack time would be delayed. Therefore, the Eastern Expedition Command immediately made a decision and adjusted the attack plan, and used both water and land to attack together, and three routes to attack together. Deputy Anton's Grand Guardian Li Pingyuan was the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, and the King of Qi was the supervisor, leading the army to attack Goguryeo. Just wait for the three armies to meet at the city of Pyongyang, and then the victory was sure to be held.

Yuwen Shu begged the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to immediately agree to the decision of the Eastern Expedition Command and quickly implement the imperial edict to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight.

On the second day of the April 2, the emperor was there in Beiping County and Linyu Palace.

After reading Yuwen Shu's memorial, the Holy Lord looked gloomy and said nothing for a long time.

The purpose of Yuwen Shu adjusting the attack strategy is very simple. Since the thing that is most worried about has happened and cannot be stopped, we must try our best to minimize its harm, rather than letting it go, inaction, or even doing the opposite, and cracking it down even more severely, expanding its harm infinitely, and ultimately ending up causing itself.

The biggest harm of the open alliance between King Qi and Li Fengyun is to confront the Holy Lord and the Central Government, which will inevitably affect and damage the interests of the country. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, King Qi and Li Fengyun also need the victory of the Third Eastern Expedition, which also requires the victory of the North-South War. Only victory can achieve merits, and only merits can achieve tangible benefits and develop and strengthen themselves. Therefore, the opposing sides have common interests. As long as the two sides temporarily put aside the conflicts, do not confrontation, cooperate sincerely, and work together, they will inevitably achieve common interests. This can not only protect the interests of the whole country, but also safeguard the authority of the Holy Lord, the Central Government and the Wei Mansion, but also effectively improve the internal and external troubles. It can be said that there are multiple goals to win one stone, so why not do it?

But the fact is that the Holy Lord and the Central Government are all about attacking, curbing, and weakening the King of Qi and Li Fengyun, which forces the King of Qi and Li Fengyun to form an alliance to resist. Therefore, if the Holy Lord and the Central Government want to change their course and win their cooperation, they must first give up the idea of ​​eliminating the opponent and show sincerity in cooperation. This is the reason why Yuwen Shu adjusted the attack strategy.

Yuwen Shu's strategy of advancing water and land and attacking together with three groups is actually to tell King Qi and Li Fengyun that you have won and we have compromised. For this reason, we grant you greater power, give you more opportunities to seek greater benefits, and allow you to grow and grow within an acceptable range on the basis of victory.

Of course, the premise is victory, first of all, the victory of the Third Eastern Expedition. If you deliberately destroy the Third Eastern Expedition for your own selfish interests, and unscrupulously damage the interests of the country and insist on carrying out the confrontation to the end, then both sides will be pointed at and completely tear apart. At this critical moment, this is obviously a situation of both sides' defeat, which is not good for the country, the Holy Lord and the Central, and even more unfavorable to the King of Qi and Li Fengyun.

Yu Shiji, who served on the side, saw the Holy Lord's face look ugly and his eyes were cold. He knew that he was very angry. He was angry at King Qi's boldness and arrogance, but also angry at Yuwen Shu's compromise and concession.

Compromise can solve the problem? It can maximize benefits and minimize harm? The essence of this matter is political confrontation, and an effective means to resolve political confrontation is to destroy opponents cleanly. Tolerance will only make the contradictions more and more acute, the conflicts will become more and more intense, the hidden dangers will become more and more serious, and the consequences will become more and more unbearable.

However, different positions and positions are different. From the standpoint of the Holy Lord, political struggles are alive and dead, reform and conservative trends are incompatible, so they cannot compromise. Even if they pay a huge and unbearable price for this, and from the standpoint of Yuwen Shu, he is the supreme commander of the Wei Mansion and the supreme commander of the Eastern Expedition, and shoulders the responsibility of winning the final victory of the Eastern Expedition. He cannot afford to lose. He must give Middle Earth, the Holy Lord and the Central, the Wei Mansion and the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and give Middle Earth a statement, otherwise he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and have a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Yu Shiji coughed twice, which attracted the attention of the Holy Lord.

The Holy Lord looked up at him and asked, "What advice do you have?"

"Since the Master believes in Mr. Pei, don't waver, especially when the Eastern Expedition is about to begin, there is no doubt at all." Yu Shiji said solemnly, "Mr. Pei has clearly stated that Anton's army will not rush to Huaiyuan, but at the same time, Mr. Pei has made a guarantee for Li Pingyuan to guarantee that Li Pingyuan will do his best to attack Pyongyang, and even promised that as long as Pyongyang is not conquered, Anton's army will never retreat than Yalushui."

Then Yu Shiji pointed to Yu Wenshu's memorial and continued, "It seems that Li Pingyuan did not meet in Huaiyuan to protect himself, but Mr. Pei also saw the generals of the Wei Mansion thoroughly and knew that they would definitely reject Anton's army, so he accused Li Pingyuan of taking the interlude to attack Pyongyang."

"However, in order to curb and weaken Anton, we ordered Li Pingyuan to join Huaiyuan to join him and to trap Li Pingyuan in a passive manner. This would inevitably make Li Pingyuan angry, which led to a huge increase in variables. The King of Qi made a proposition at this time and met with Li Pingyuan in the name of comforting the north, which made this variable increase again, and the result might be worse than we expected."

"The two evils are the least. At this critical moment, we can only find ways to ensure the victory of the third Eastern Expedition." Yu Shiji said this and bowed, "Master, as long as the third Eastern Expedition ends with the destruction of Goguryeo, we can free up our hands to control Xijing, and at the same time concentrate our efforts to prepare for the war between the north and the south. In this way, the domestic and foreign situation will inevitably improve. By then, the wounds of King Qi and Li Pingyuan have not healed, and their strength is not enough, so it is not enough to capture it?"

The Holy Lord's eyes were cold and his tone was sharp, "Then, can the strategy of advancing water and land and attacking the three sides together ensure that the third Eastern Expedition ended with the destruction of Goguryeo?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Shiji's face suddenly became stiff and he could not answer.

The Holy Lord sneered and asked again, "Can Yuwen Shu's compromise and concessions ensure that the northern army on the eastern expedition killed Yalushui and attacked Pyongyang at all costs?"

Yu Shiji sighed secretly, unable to give an answer

"I believe in Mr. Pei, but what does this have to do with whether Mr. Pei can fulfill his promise?" The Holy Lord asked sternly, "If Mr. Pei is omnipotent, why did he rush to Andong after returning from the west? Since Mr. Pei has done nothing in the western border, can he still reverse the world in the northern border?"

Yu Shiji looked shocked, bowed his head, and was silent as if he was cold.

Under the heavy pressure, the Holy Lord's emotions were a little out of control. He accidentally revealed his suspicion of Pei Shiju. This was too terrible. Once Pei Shiju was pushed to the side of King Qi and Li Pingyuan by the Holy Lord, the future situation would be very dangerous.

The Holy Lord regretted the words as soon as he spoke. He realized that he had said something wrong, but the water he had poured out could not be collected after the words he said.

Yu Shiji secretly glanced at the Holy Lord in panic. Seeing that the Holy Lord was a little uneasy, he immediately said, "Sir, although Mr. Pei cannot reverse the world in the northern border, his prestige is enough to intimidate the enemy in the desert and ensure the safety of Andong."

"What I need is not only the safety of Anton, but also the safety of the northern border." The Holy Lord naturally heard the warning in Yu Shiji's words, so he reluctantly calmed down and sighed in a low voice, "Planning is for people, and success is for heaven. The edict ordered Yuwen Shu to ensure that what he reported must cross the river and attack within the scheduled time."

Yu Shiji responded to the promise and bowed to retreat. At this moment, the Holy Lord spoke again, "Tell the prefect of Liaoxi who came to pick him up suddenly, and he was suspending Linyu. Please lead his army to Huaiyuan immediately and lead his troops to the east."

Yu Shiji looked up in surprise. He was suspending Linyu? Why? What is the purpose? Does the Holy Lord want to lead the army in person and want to return to Dongdu?
