Based on the existing information, Feng Deyi re-sorted the secret hidden behind the Gaoyang crisis, which surprised him.

He was sure that this was a "big chess", a exquisite layout for the increasingly deteriorating North-South relations. Among them, King Qi was very important, but King Qi was just a chess piece, which could have a certain impact on the security of the northern border, but could not determine the direction of North-South relations.

There are only two forces that determine the direction of the relationship between the north and the south, one is the Holy Lord and the Central, and the other is Shibi Khan and the Tank.

For Middle Earth, lying beside the bed, you cannot let others snore. The more powerful the northern desert, the greater the threat to Middle Earth, and it will directly affect the supreme authority of the common ruler of the world. Therefore, it is necessary to curb and weaken the northern desert, and it must be strangled into the rise. For Middle Earth, the lion of Middle Earth stares at itself covetously and has a survival crisis at all times. For this, it must develop and grow. In addition to its own thriving growth, it must also seize all opportunities and use all means to attack and weaken the opponent.

In other words, on the smiling faces of the north and south, there is actually a cruel idea of ​​killing each other. As long as there is a chance, this cruel idea will erupt, and both sides will be betrayal and draw their swords to each other. History has proved that in the history of the Civil War, Emperor Wu of Han once killed the Huns to pieces and flowing water, and even drove them out of the desert. The Xianbei and other five barbarians also roared down, swept across the Central Plains, and suppressed the Middle-earth people north of the Yangtze River. Learning from history, the unified Middle-earth people dreamed of sealing wolf and rebuilding the great cause of Han Wu; and the Turks that rose in the desert were not forgotten to drink horses and the Yellow River by various captives, reappearing the glory of their ancestors.

The blood of the north and the south always flows with heroic ambitions and passionate fighting spirit, which destined that the Civil War will always be the main theme of the relationship between the north and the south. In the process of any rise and rise of both the north and the south, the voice of the main war in the highest decision-making level is deafening, and the war also follows.

The same is true for the relationship between the North and South today. Both the North and South are rising rapidly, and the war is accompanied by shadows. Middle-earth launched the Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition. Although there has not yet been a head-on collision with the Northern Alliance of Seizures headed by the Turks, Middle-earth's purpose of eradicating its wings and weakening its power is "invisible". Therefore, both sides know that there must be a war, both know that the war is about to begin, and are actively preparing for the war.

Middle-earth will not give up the war between the north and the south because of the two defeats in the Eastern Expedition. The reason is very simple. In the early stage, the earth was as powerful as a tiger, aggressive, and had already rode on the tiger's back, the arrow was already on the string, and the northern desert had already rode on the tiger's back, and the bowstrings were already pulled. At this time, Middle-earth suddenly did not advance but retreated, and was afraid of fighting, which was equivalent to taking a dead end.

So is there any way to make the northern desert "retreat the difficulties", let the northern desert show weakness to the Central Earth, and take the initiative to give up the war between the north and the south?

In theory, there is still a way, such as fierce conflicts within the den, internal strife or rebellion occurred in the major alliance of the enemy, and the northern desert was too busy to take care of themselves, so of course they were unable to carry out the Civil War.

In the late reign of the late Emperor, in the late Kaihuang years, civil war broke out in the East and West Turks, and the enemy killed each other. The Middle-earth people took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use discord, challenge and take advantage of the situation, and finally won the greatest victory at the minimum price. They successfully attacked and weakened the northern barbarians, eased the tense relationship between the north and the south, stabilized the frontier situation, and Zhongtu ushered in a period of rapid development. However, the army of the past, the Turks and other kinds of barbarians still remembered their sudden decline, and they hated the Middle-earth people who were insidious and cunning to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, they should not make the same mistake in the short term, and gave the Middle-earth people a chance to "win without fighting".

Since such opportunities are hard to come by, then instead of relying on the emergence of a "miracle", Zhongtu is better to create a "miracle" by itself. So the Holy Lord and the main war faction in the center have the idea of ​​continuing the eastern expedition. With the complete victory of the third eastern expedition, the "hand" of the northern enemy in the desert to extend to the Far East, to show the powerful strength of Zhongtu, to curb the expansion of the northern enemy in the desert, to make the roar of the "tiger" of Zhongtu more terrifying, to make the arrows on the longbow of Zhongtu more lethal, and then to achieve the purpose of deterring and intimidating the northern enemy, delaying the outbreak of the northern enemy in the north and giving Zhongtu more and more time to prepare for the Civil War.

Of course, from the perspective of Middle Earth, this is also a theoretical idea. Whether the comprehensive victory of the third Eastern Expedition can help Middle Earth achieve all the expected goals requires close "cooperation" of the Northern Gate. If the Northern Gate has a clear and correct "interpretation" of the situation in the north and south, know that the Civil War will definitely break out, know that Middle Earth is at the end of its strength after three consecutive times, and knowing that Middle Earth is deliberately bluffing its momentum in the relationship between North and South to achieve the purpose of deception, the Northern Gate will definitely take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the opportunity, and launch a full-scale war when Middle Earth is seriously injured. Taking advantage of your illness and kill your life, you will do your best to give Middle Earth a heavy blow. In this way, Middle Earth will be in trouble. Even if you finally defend the front line of the Great Wall, the price will be very heavy.

Therefore, in terms of the current situation in the north and south, all predictions are pessimistic. For the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, the destiny of Middle Earth cannot be placed on "miracles", nor on wishful thinking, nor on hopes that the enemy will make mistakes. They must face it actively, be brave to burn the boat, dare to burn both jade and stone, and die if they are afraid of fighting. Only by fighting to the death can one closely grasp one's own destiny.

So he returned to the "original point", the Holy Lord insisted on his main battle position, and the voice of the main battle not only did not decrease with the defeats in the two Eastern Expeditions, but instead became increasingly stronger. The attitude of the main war faction, especially the military's main war faction, became increasingly tough in national defense strategies, which had seriously affected the central decision-making.

Why is the Holy Lord tolerant and not provoking? Why is the Central Government so secretive about the future of the Eastern Expedition? The key is that the military's attitude is still unclear.

At present, the two most powerful military leaders, Yuwen Shu, the General of the Left Guard and Lai Huer, the General of the Right Guard, are both on the battlefield of the Eastern Capital. As long as they kill Yang Xuangan in the shortest time, calm the storm, and stabilize the situation in the Eastern Capital, the military will inevitably make a statement on the future of the Eastern Expedition.

Either stop the eastern expedition and place all the strength on the stability of the domestic situation. We must first calm the internal situation by resisting foreign countries. We would rather swallow our anger and make compromises and concessions to the northern enemy, and we should first consolidate the ruling status of the Holy Lord and the reformists; or we should continue to expedition and place all the strength on the confrontation between the north and the south, and actively prepare for the war between the north and the south. As long as the northern enemy dares to invade south, we should do our best to give a head-on attack. We would rather burn our bodies and protect the enemy outside the country and guard the final political bottom line for the Holy Lord and the center.

For the Saint Lord and the Reformers, the former is politically attacked from both sides, and must compromise and make concessions both internally and externally. If the steps are difficult, the reform will definitely fall into stagnation and regression. Although it seems safe and safe, after suffering for a period of time, the clouds will clear and the moon will be bright, but if you are not careful, you will be "camped against all sides". If the external northern enemy resolutely invades, the rebellion of the internal opposition will also come one after another. Under the attack of the inside and outside, there will be a danger of annihilation of the entire army; the latter will put it to death and then

Life, refuse to compromise, never give in, be aggressive to the outside world, and be strong to the inside, although there is a worry of annihilation of the entire army, as long as you win the war between the north and the south, it will not only bring the authority of the Saint Lord and the central government to a new height, but also give the Saint Lord and the reformists time and space to continue to promote reform. On the contrary, if you lose, you can only compromise internally and externally, reform will inevitably stagnate and regress, and your ruling status will be in danger, which is no different from the result of the former.

In this case, why not fight? Especially for the tough military, since the final result of the main war and the main harmony may be the same, why should the main peace be? Of course, we must fight to the death and defend the dignity of Middle Earth with blood and life.

Therefore, Feng Deyi is pessimistic about the direction of the relationship between the north and the south. The "main peace" position is already difficult at the highest decision-making level of the central central government. Once the "main war" idea controls the central government's decision-making, the third Eastern Expedition will break out and the North and the South War will also break out.

Under this trend, the King of Qi went north to guard the border, which meant that the attitude of Zhongtu was becoming more and more tough. This not only did not help ease the relationship between the north and the south, but would instead give the northern desert a stronger hint. Under the oppression of the crisis, the northern desert arbitrage would prepare for war faster and more positive, and the war between the north and the south may break out faster.

From this we infer that most of the people behind the King of Qi went north to guard the border were the Holy Lord, the main war faction of the central war, and the main war boss of the military. The only military bosses who have recently contacted the King of Qi were Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer. These two happened to be the absolute confidants of the Holy Lord and the firm supporters of the Holy Lord.

If the pro-war faction specially set up this "chess game" for the third Eastern Expedition and the North-South War, the King of Qi was their "chess piece" and the white-haired thief was the "chess piece" of Qi, then the King of Qi gave up control of the Grand Canal, the white-haired thief quietly headed north, and the sudden outbreak of the Gaoyang crisis was reasonable, and a reasonable explanation could be found.

The white-haired thief attacked Gaoyang and triggered the Gaoyang crisis. The purpose was to solemnly launch the King of Qi. The purpose of launching the King of Qi was to lay the foundation for the decision of the Holy Lord and the pro-war faction to forcibly launch the Third Eastern Expedition and the North-South War.

Feng Deyi weighed the pros and conscientiously made a decision and wrote a letter in his hand, asking his close associates to submit it to Pei Shiju, deputy chief of the Ministry of Education, the Huangmen Minister, through a private passage. He repeatedly instructed him to keep it confidential.

Menxia Province and Neishi Province share the key points, discuss national affairs together, and are responsible for reviewing edicts and signing memorials, and have the power to refute. The so-called edicts are "the edicts are not suitable for the emperor, and the memorials are not wrong." This power is very great, and they directly supervise the emperor and the prime minister. The provincial governor of the current dynasty was Nayan Su Wei, an old minister from the three dynasties of Guanzhong; the two deputy chiefs were Pei Shiju of the Pei clan in Hedong, and the other was Zhao Changwen of Tianshui, Longxi, and both were old ministers of the three dynasties.

Among the three core institutions of the central core, the Ministry of Internal History is the decision-maker, and the edicts and government orders are from the Ministry of Internal History; the Ministry of Internal Affairs also participates in decision-making and is responsible for reviewing the edicts and government orders; the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also involved in decision-making and is responsible for implementing edicts and government orders. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is under the jurisdiction of six ministries, with a large number of personnel and a large number of factions, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Menxia Province is relatively small. Among them, the two chiefs of Internal Affairs are both from Jiangzuo, and the three chiefs of Internal Affairs are from Guanlong. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are Yu Shiji and Xiao Yu belong to the Jiangnan and Jingchu factions in the Jiangzuo noble group, Nayan Su Wei and Huangmen Minister Pei Shiju, and Zhao Changwen belong to Guanzhong, Hedong and Longxi factions in the Guanlong noble group, in terms of the overall interests of the group, the "heads" of these two decision-making institutions are obviously point-for-heads and do not give in to each other.

Feng Deyi belongs to the Shandong aristocratic group and is "clearly separated" from the two major aristocratic groups of Guanlong and Jiangzuo. This kind of political "clearly separated" is extremely important among the top leaders, especially when the wealthy families firmly occupy political resources today, the "fence-riding faction" has no place to survive in the top leaders, and one dies and the other is dead.

In the past, the meritorious ministers Gao Yang and Yang Su both became famous for their "Bo Le" and repeatedly promoted and recommended people from different factions. Feng Deyi was supported and recommended by Yang Su, but this was not only a political need after unification, but also a large amount of exchange of interests hidden behind it. There is no love for no reason, nor no hatred for no reason, and the most reasonable sayings.

Feng Deyi and Pei Shiju are not political allies, but because they are old ministers of the previous dynasty and have common interests, they can cooperate politically and benefit each other at critical moments. Now Feng Deyi urgently needs Pei Shiju's help. Yang Xuangan's rebellion will definitely affect Feng Deyi. In order to save himself, Feng Deyi planned to ask Pei Shiju for help, but how to ask for help? What can I use to exchange Pei Shiju's help?

Can this secret letter written by Feng Deyi to Pei Shiju impress Pei Shiju?
