However, what is Pei Shiju's ultimate goal? Is it a kill of two birds with one stone? Using the war between the north and the south to ease the relationship between father and son, rebuild trust, and then give the King of Qi a chance to seize the imperial unity? But with Pei Shiju's cautious and pragmatic political style, the possibility of his voluntary intervention in the imperial unity was very small. Just imagine in the late Kaihuang years, when Gao Ying and the late emperor fought on the battlefield of the imperial unity, almost all the central officials and generals of the Weifu were spared and were all involved in the storm. Only Pei Shiju volunteered to travel thousands of miles to the desert to deal with diplomatic affairs between the north and the south, and escaped the disaster, which shows his superb political wisdom and determination to not intervene in the imperial unity.

However, in politics, as long as you are related to the King of Qi, whether you want to or not, it will be included in the "blacklist" of the imperial unification dispute. So if this layout is designed by Pei Shiju, even if Pei Shiju intervened in the imperial unification dispute, it is obviously contrary to Pei Shiju's political style that has been adhered to for decades.

If you can't figure out things, you won't think about them for the time being, and the problem of not deducing the truth will be temporarily put on hold. After all, Pei Shiju is a political veteran who has experienced four dynasties. His age, qualifications, wisdom, and power are extremely comparable to those of the powerful. Even Su Wei, who is both the central chief, is older than Pei Shiju, is hard to compare with him in political wisdom. You must know that Pei Shiju is an old minister of Gao Qi. A survivor of the country can always stand firm in the political arena of Middle-Turkey, survive the repeated political storms, and can watch the victors of that year fall one after another, which is a political miracle in itself, and those who create miracles are legends and are seen by the existences that are looked up to.

But there is one thing that must be understood, otherwise even if the King of Qi insists on living outside and developing, he has to go all the way to the black. Wei and Li have to stop and cannot commit suicide crazily with the King of Qi.

The prerequisite for implementing an out-of-the-country strategy is that the Eastern Expedition failed and there were continuous losses. So why should Pei Shiju determine that the Eastern Expedition would fail continuously?

According to the information provided by the white-haired thief, there are two main reasons for the possible failure of the Eastern Expedition this year. One is that the wrong attack strategy was chosen at the wrong time, and the other is that there is a traitor in the center. This is a bit reliable. From a military perspective alone, one side is already at a disadvantage. If the luck is a little bad or the command is wrong in the front line, it will be a failure.

Next, there will be a second Eastern Expedition, which is also reliable. For the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, the Eastern Expedition must continue and the Eastern Expedition must be won. This is determined by the domestic and international situation and is not affected by the will of any political force. Therefore, if the Eastern Expedition fails this year, there will be a second Eastern Expedition.

The reason for the failure of the second Eastern Expedition was that the white-haired thief predicted that the opposition forces of the Dongdu launched a mutiny, and the civil war broke out, resulting in the second Eastern Expedition being ineffective. This is not very reliable. Although the opposition forces did have the intention to overthrow the Holy Lord and destroy the reform, and although the timing of the mutiny was indeed good during the Second Eastern Expedition, the risk was too great. One reason was that during the Eastern Expedition, there were tens of thousands of elite garrison troops stationed in the two capitals, which was difficult to conquer the two capitals. Secondly, the number of expedition troops was large. The Holy Lord could return to Beijing to suppress the rebellion as long as the Holy Lord was drawn up as a part of his troops. In the face of absolute strength, the rebels were vulnerable. Of course, there were exceptions in everything. The Xijing garrison was basically controlled by the local forces in Guanlong. As long as the local nobles of Guanlong did not rebel, the Xijing was as solid as a god, but what about the Dongdu? Is the Dongdu garrison absolutely loyal to the Holy Lord? Is the Dongdu garrison as solid as a god?

“Can our decisions be based on predictions about the future.”

Wei Yunqi's attitude was firm and unquestionable, and others could not find any reason to object.

"Now there are only three months left before the winter in the Far East. Whether the expeditionary force can conquer Pyongyang will have results in three months." Wei Yunqi continued, "If the white-haired thief's prediction is wrong, it is enough to show that we have fallen into the slow-down plan of the white-haired thief and fallen into the trap of the Shandong people. All the deductions we have done now are not valid. There is no possibility of implementing the external strategy. It must be abolished immediately. At the same time, we can eliminate the white-haired thief as quickly as possible and repair the prison with the sheep as soon as possible.

The King of Qi agreed, and Wei Fusi and others nodded repeatedly. At that time, they would kill the white-haired thief at any cost and bury all the secrets forever. Although there is indeed a connection between the white-haired thief and Pei Shiju, the actions of the white-haired thief proved that he was helping the Shandong people to deal with the Qi King and Guanlong local forces. This was an endless hatred. For the sake of their own interests, the Guanlong people must completely kill the white-haired thief and his alliance. As for whether they will violate Pei Shiju's interests after being killed, they can no longer care about it. They will save themselves first.

"If the white-haired thief's prediction is correct, and this year's Eastern Expedition will indeed fail, and the Holy Lord launched the second Eastern Expedition, how will we make a decision?"

The King of Qi asked very directly, which shows that he was in a hurry and was full of expectations for the strategy of staying outside. In a sense, the strategy of staying outside is his hope. If he wants to completely turn over, escape from political prison, and completely reverse his destiny, this is the only feasible strategy. Of course, this strategy is still a castle in the air and has no trustworthy basis.

Wei Yunqi's expression became more and more serious, "If the white-haired thief predicted correctly, this year's Eastern Expedition was indeed defeated, and the Sheng mainly launched the second Eastern Expedition, then at least it can be proved that the white-haired thief did not help the Shandong people design and frame us, and we still do not have enough evidence to prove that the white-haired thief's strategy was one of the layouts made by Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) for the war between the north and the south, but the strategy of being outside guided us a direction of heaven. We must not only resolutely implement the strategy of being outside, but also create conditions for this and do our best to create all the conditions that can be created."

The King of Qi understood it, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes, and Wei Fusi and others understood it, with their eyes showing their spirits, just like seeing a beast in prey, and their ferocious and sharp fangs were involuntarily revealed in excitement.

If we want to successfully implement a strategy outside, the key is the failure of the Second Eastern Expedition. It is precisely because of the failure of the Second Eastern Expedition that the deterioration of the domestic and foreign situation suddenly accelerated and was unstoppable. Both internal and external troubles in China and Turkey broke out, and they were deeply trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. The Holy Lord and the Central Committee were even more irreversible and passive in military and political terms. Faced with the upcoming North-South War, they had to launch the third Eastern Expedition to destroy the alliance between the Turks and the Far East, so that the Northern Frontier Town Army could avoid the danger of fighting on both fronts in the North-South War, so that all their strength could be concentrated to fight the Northern Lu army decisively on the Daibei Great Wall.

In other words, the pessimistic predictions of the future situation in China and Turkey are based on the failure of the Second Eastern Expedition, and these predictions are "visible to the naked eye". Even the strong political figures such as Wei Fusi and Wei Yunqi also recognize the accuracy of these predictions. Therefore, what Wei Yunqi calls creating conditions is "if there is conditions, if there is no conditions, we must also create conditions." The White-Haired Thieves' predictions for the future are actually Wei's guide to action. Wei Shi must also push the opposition forces in the Eastern Capital to launch mutinies during the Second Eastern Expedition, or create other political events to further deteriorate the domestic situation. In short, it is necessary to make the Second Eastern Expedition fail.

The second Eastern Expedition failed, and the subsequent development of domestic and foreign situations would definitely be very beneficial to the rise of the King of Qi. Even if there is no third Eastern Expedition, even if the war between the North and South will not break out immediately, with the passive situation of the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, if you want to ease the relationship between the North and South relationship and stabilize the border situation, you must restore your national strength in the shortest time. To restore your national strength, you must stabilize the political situation and domestic situation in the Dongdu. For this reason, they can only make huge political compromises and have no other way. As one of the largest political forces in the court, the local aristocratic group in Guanlong naturally needs to maximize their interests, and pushing the King of Qi to the position of crown prince is the best way to achieve this goal. For Wei, this is a perfect strategy, and for the King of Qi, it is a perfect ending. If you can succeed, everyone will be happy and of course you have to do your best.

Wei Fusi appeared in the league camp as quickly as possible and started the third round of negotiations with Li Fengyun.

Wei Shi's high efficiency surprised Li Fengyun. In the past two rounds of negotiations, he gave Wei Shi a lot of information. Although these information are deductions of the future, and these deductions are not all based on the current visible facts, with Wei Shi's understanding of the political situation in the Eastern Capital, the situation in China and the relationship between the North and South, he can definitely accept these deductions, seriously consider its credibility, and then come up with corresponding countermeasures. This obviously takes time, but Wei Fusi came in a blink of an eye, which made Li Fengyun excited, and he was full of hope for the strategy of saving Middle Earth that appeared after a flash of inspiration. He really couldn't be the savior of Middle Earth, but the King of Qi could, and the local aristocratic group of Guanlong that supported the King of Qi could be.

In order to win the trust of Li Fengyun and to establish enough trust with Li Fengyun, Wei Fusi adopted a frank approach and spoke out out loud.

First of all, you must have the support of the wealthy families in Shandong behind you; secondly, you must have some connection with Wenxi Gong Pei Shiju; thirdly, you have no way to guess the real purpose of giving away a strategy, but King Qi has an absolute advantage, controls the initiative, and is not afraid of your unpredictable intentions.

Li Fengyun was surprised. The misunderstanding was a bit big. Li Mi associated him with the late Bohai Gong Gao Ying, while Wei thought of him with the prime minister Wenxi Gong Pei Shiju. It was too unexpected. This made him think of that person again. Could it be that person really be related to Gao Ying and Pei Shiju? Li Fengyun searched through the complicated memories as quickly as possible, but he actually found that there was some unknown secret between that person and Gao Ying, Pei Shiju, Yuwen Shu, and Turks, but there were too few related memories, and there were only a few clues that could not build a complete chain of evidence.

However, Li Fengyun was worried. Li Mi had such speculations, and Wei Fusi had similar speculations. It can be seen that the person's identity is not ordinary. Now that he is determined to use their misunderstandings to realize his own plans, the person's identity has become the key, so it is necessary to check it carefully. Once it is clear, there may be unexpected surprises and great help to himself.

Wei Fusi gave Li Fengyun three months. If the Eastern Expedition fails in three months, Li Fengyun will make a prediction right, and the two sides will cooperate officially, Li Fengyun will help the King of Qi to implement the strategy of developing outside the country, and the King of Qi will give Li Fengyun the rewards needed. On the contrary, if the Eastern Expedition wins in three months, Li Fengyun's prediction is pure nonsense and humiliates the King of Qi and Wei, he will definitely be retaliated against. The King of Qi will definitely cut off Li Fengyun's head and wash away the humiliation.

Li Fengyun agreed immediately, and the two sides immediately bargained for temporary cooperation within three months.

Wei Fusi asked Li Fengyun to evacuate Tongji Canal, abandon Shouji, He, and return to Mengshan.

Li Fengyun flatly refused. The alliance could withdraw from Tongji Canal, but he had to stick to Ji. He was on the front line and the initiative on the battlefield could not be given up. This was related to the survival of the alliance. Once the King of Qi was betrayal and went back on his word during the temporary cooperation period, the alliance would be passive.

Wei Fusi clearly told Li Fengyun that if you cannot abandon Jiji and He line, I will not be able to recover Jiyin County. Whether I can recover Jiyin County in the shortest time directly affects the career of the Censor Wei Yunqi and Jiyin Prefect Wei Baoluan, the prefect of Jiyin. Especially Wei Baoluan, the prefect of Jiyin, can maintain his career and continue to stay in the Central Plains, it will be very beneficial to the development of Qi's residence outside.

Li Fengyun thought for a long time and came up with a compromise strategy. Both sides took Heshui as the boundary, and returned to the King of Qi to the south of Heshui and returned to the alliance to the north of Heshui. The alliance did not invade the Jishui, and the King of Qi should not approach Sishui. Both sides fought against each other on both sides of Heshui.
