On July 13th, early in the morning, Hu'er arrived in Liyang to bid farewell to King Qi.

?Lai Hu'er's appearance surprised the King of Qi. Although he knew that Lai Yuan would contact Lai Hu'er quietly and would make Lai Hu'er owe him a favor, in order to avoid Lai Hu'er's intention to threaten him by mistake, King of Qi intended to stay out of trouble. However, Lai Yuan was very anxious and found Lai Hu'er as soon as possible, sought Lai Hu'er's opinions and begged Lai Hu'er for help. As a result, Lai Hu'er weighed the pros and cons of many parties and finally decided to give the King of Qi a clear promise to strengthen the King of Qi's determination to go north to guard the border.

It is very difficult for King Qi to go north to guard the border. Even if Lai Huer, as a radical military, has a tough stance on the relationship between the north and the south, actively lobbying the Holy Lord and the Central to engage in a war between the North and the South, and supports the King of Qi to guard the northern border with this basis, the military's garrison strategy must obey and serve the political interests of the Central. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee start from a political perspective, they must immediately eradicate the hidden danger of King Qi, or disagree with King Qi to go north to guard the border, and there is no way to come to Guer.

But at that time, the attitude of the King of Qi himself is very important. If the King of Qi is determined to go north to guard the border, and even does not hesitate to make radical moves to coerce, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have no choice but to compromise and make concessions. On the contrary, if the King of Qi himself is not strong and gives up voluntarily, it will be a blow to Lai Hu'er. After all, the ultimate goal of Lai Hu'er's support is to carry out the war between the north and the south and win this war. The King of Qi's abandonment will definitely affect Lai Hu'er's overall planning.

The King of Qi had some guesses about Lai Hu'er's purpose, but he was not sure and was secretly nervous.

The two of them exchanged a few words of disdain and then came Hu'er's face tone and said suddenly, "I heard that the white-haired thief has crossed the river north."

When the King of Qi heard this, he knew that Lai Yuan had contacted Lai Hu'er. This was also the reason why Lai Hu'er came to see him off early in the morning. But what was Lai Hu'er's attitude? He gave him two favors. Is he willing to give him a reward? Can the reward he gave satisfy his wish?

"The white-haired thief ran away too fast. Before Gu reached the white horse, he crossed the river north and fled in the chaos in Liyang." The King of Qi pretended to be angry and sneered, "One of the important targets of Gu's going north to suppress the thieves is him. Gu must kill him in Hebei, eliminate the roots, and eliminate future troubles forever."

Lai Hu'er looked at the King of Qi with a deep meaning and said with a double word, "This spring, the white-haired thieves were in trouble with Qi County. The king and Qiao Gong (Zhou Fashang), Shunzheng Gong (Dong Chun), and the four armies of the county magistrate of Qi County jointly encircled and suppressed the enemy. Although they finally severely damaged the rebels and forced the white-haired thieves to give up Mengshan and escape from Qilu, they failed to achieve their full contributions, so that the white-haired thieves once again harmed the Tongjiqu again after escaping from the siege. Not only did they directly affect the Second Eastern Expedition, but they also seriously endangered the security of the Eastern Capital, and played a role in fueling the Yang Xuangan mutiny." Speaking of this, Lai Hu'er's tone became increasingly severe. "The king shouldered the heavy responsibility of suppressing the thieves and assumed the responsibility of stabilizing the situation, but the result was contrary to others' wishes. Today's crisis in the Eastern Capital has some connection with the King's ineffective suppression of the rebellion. Once investigated, the king may not escape the blame."

The King of Qi looked grim and said nothing. Lai Hu'er's words obviously meant threatening and warning. Does this mean that Lai Hu'er misunderstood her and thought that she used Lai Yuan and Zhou Zhong and other Jiang Zuo nobles to threaten him and coerce him, thus angering him?

"The white-haired thieves are numerous and powerful, and they cannot be killed. However, Gu is single and weak and is highly constrained. It is really difficult to kill them all in the short term." The King of Qi immediately defended himself, "As long as you give Gu enough time, Gu will be able to kill the white-haired thieves."

"The king does not need to explain." Lai Hu'er shook his hand without hesitation, "In the face of facts, no explanation is meaningless."

The King of Qi suddenly felt an ominous feeling, and his eyes gradually became gloomy. In the eyes of the senior management, the "tactic understanding" between him and the white-haired thief was to raise the bandits and respect himself. Although there was no definite evidence, as Gaku'er said, the facts were all there, and the repeated suppression of the white-haired thief had caused serious consequences. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee were determined to "solve" him, then this "serious consequence" would be enough to kill him.

King Qi sneered, "Since any explanation is meaningless, I want to see who can kill the white-haired thief in the end."

Lai Hu'er immediately questioned, "Is the white-haired thief's strength so strong that no one can suppress it?"

"The facts are all there, and there is no need to explain them." King Qi smiled coldly.

"Then let's take out evidence to prove that the white-haired thief is strong, prove that the king has done his best, and prove that the current crisis in Dongdu has nothing to do with the king." Lai Hu'er said righteously and sternly, "Otherwise, the situation the king faces next will probably be difficult to follow? He will be frightened every step."

The King of Qi's face suddenly froze, and his heart was even more shocking, but his eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly realized.

This is the "reward" of Hu'er. After all, Hu'er is still Gu'er's life. Gu Quan's overall interests of Jiangzuo people, and he took decisive action at the critical moment to help King Qi overcome the current difficulties first. Only when King Qi overcomes the current difficulties and escapes safely from the coming political storm, can he be qualified to go north to guard the border. Otherwise, if he would be unable to protect himself, he would talk about guarding the border?

It has always been necessary to defeat opponents politically. For example, the King of Qi "depreciated" and the King of Qi slept with someone else's wife and gave birth to children. The evidence was conclusive and there was no way to deny it. This time, the King of Qi could not kill the white-haired thieves. He watched the white-haired thieves plunder Tongji Canal, endangering the security of Dongdu, causing the Dongdu storm, resulting in the failure of the Second Eastern Expedition, the deterioration of the relations between the north and the south, and the situation at home and abroad took a sharp turn. The blame was serious. With a big hat, how could the King of Qi have room to turn over?

The King of Qi bowed to thank him. Although he learned from Lai Hu'er that the Holy Lord and the Central Master had been determined to relieve him of this disaster, and he was in danger of survival and was in a very heavy mood, Lai Hu'er was able to give up his guidance at this moment, which gave him more hope, making him give up all unrealistic fantasies and firmly determined to achieve the goal of going north to guard the border.

"As long as the king comes out, the king will be safe." Lai Hu'er said solemnly, "The king is safe, and it is possible to achieve it only when he goes north to guard the border."

Lai Hu'er's words are a promise. As long as the King of Qi safely survives the upcoming political storm, he will support the King of Qi to go north to guard the border.

The King of Qi took a boat to leave Liyang and headed north along Yongji Canal.

In the cabin, King Qi, Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and Li Baiyao sat together to discuss countermeasures.

Lai Hu'er asked the King of Qi to provide evidence to prove that he was not the most important thing in raising enemies, and had no intention of endangering the situation in the Eastern Capital, nor did he destroy the conspiracy of the Second Eastern Expedition. Instead, the white-haired thief was too strong and he really couldn't kill him. So the question is, how to prove that the white-haired thief was strong?

The best way to prove that the white-haired thief is to let Li Fengyun confuse Hebei, attack cities and camps in various places in Hebei, burn, kill and loot, but this move directly endangered the overall interests of the people of Hebei. The wealthy families in Hebei would not agree. In addition, this move will also make the white-haired thief and the alliance targeted the target of public criticism and were surrounded and killed by various guards in the north. This is a catastrophe for the alliance that has just moved to Taihang and has not yet established a foothold.

"What is the real purpose of coming to Hu'er? Should we kill white hair and take advantage of the fact that we have not yet established our foothold, and completely kill the potential disasters of white hair in northern Xinjiang and even the entire north?" Li Baiyao questioned.

"As for my understanding of Lai Hu'er, Lai Hu'er's purpose should not be to kill the white hair." Wei Fusi shook his hand and said, "As for the current situation in China and abroad, Lai Hu'er should be eager to launch the third Eastern Expedition to quickly destroy Goguryeo, quickly stabilize the situation in the Far East, and then free up his hands to deal with the northern desert. However, the loss of national strength by the eastern expedition for three consecutive years can be imagined. In the face of the deteriorating relations between the north and the south, the Saint Lord and the Central Government definitely do not want to see the outbreak of the war in the north and the south. They will give priority to using various diplomatic means to delay or stop the outbreak of the war. However, for the Wei Mansion, temporary compromise and tolerance will not only be the shame of the Middle Earth, but also encourage the arrogance of the northern desert barriers. Therefore, many military commanders strongly advocate war and actively demand to defeat the northern desert barriers by force. Yuwen Shu's position in the Wei Mansion is more conservative, while Lai Hu'er's position is tough and actively advocates the war."

"In a certain opinion, Lai Hu'er's real purpose may be to use her white hair to disrupt the situation in the northern border, and then cause misjudgment to the northern border, and induce the northern border to invade south. Once the war between the north and the south breaks out, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee have to give up diplomatic means and instead try their best to kill the northern border, forcing the northern border to continue to surrender to Central Earth. In this way, the north and the south can maintain peace for a period of time, and Central Earth can win enough time to restore national strength."

"According to your analysis, white hair cannot move, and you need to keep a low profile." Li Baiyao shook his head and said, "Lai Hu'er's idea can only represent a part of the commander who holds the stance of war in the Wei Mansion. They can influence the decisions of the Wei Mansion, but it is difficult to affect the decisions of the Holy Lord and the Central Government. If the Holy Lord and the Central Government are determined to kill white hair to stabilize the situation in the north, how can the White Hair and his alliance survive?"

Li Shanheng sneered and asked, "Does Anping Gong mean that the king can sacrifice, but the white hair and the alliance cannot sacrifice? Where is the intention of Mr. Ping?"

Li Baiyao shook his hand repeatedly and warned seriously, "We must trust each other, and there is no trust between us and Lai Huer. We cannot trust Lai Huer, and we cannot be led by Lai Huer. We must have our own judgment on the current and future situation, and we must come up with our own countermeasures based on this judgment."

The King of Qi agreed deeply. Wei Fusi nodded repeatedly, while Li Shanheng was speechless and quite embarrassed.

"Green Hair has tried his best to gain a foothold in the alliance, but our current idea is to do the opposite. If white hair is destroyed, can the king go north to guard the border and achieve the expected goal?" Li Baiyao sneered, "So in a certain opinion, this move to protect the king is nominally for the king, but actually contains evil intentions and has an unspeakable purpose."

"The current crisis facing the king is indeed serious, and this is a fact, and it is undeniable." Wei Fusi said, "and we are helpless and have no choice. The only person who can help the king relieve the current crisis seems to be the only white hair," he said.

Li Baiyao immediately offered a suggestion, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you about Bai Hai and ask Bai Hai to take a proper solution."
