Chapter 673 Bargaining
Li Fengyun designed step by step, linked together, and made complete plans, which made Wei Fusi dazzled, dazzled, exhausted, and extremely powerless. What made him shocked was that everyone was deeply trapped in the situation and was led by someone. Only Li Fengyun predicted the enemy before he could predict the first place. Why is this? What mystery is hidden here?
Wei Fusi learned from the story of the two Lis that Li Fengyun revealed the secret of Song Zixian's plot to assassinate the Holy Lord. Before the Pei father and son crossed the giant horse and went west, the plan to enter and exit the frontier had not yet come out. There was no necessary connection between the two, but now the two are closely connected. Why is this? Is it a coincidence or a plan? If it were a plan, then this plan comes from Li Fengyun or Pei Shiju? In other words, what kind of relationship is there now between Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju? Is Pei Shiju controlling Li Fengyun, or is Li Fengyun calculating Pei Shiju?
If we carefully examine the relationship between Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju from the perspective of "entering and leaving the frontier", it is not difficult to see that there have been serious conflicts and fierce conflicts between the two sides. Otherwise, Pei Shiju would never dig such a big "pit" for Li Fengyun. Going out to fight in the dilemma of no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside. If Li Fengyun cannot create a miracle, he will definitely die. What does this mean? It means that Pei Shiju has already murdered Li Fengyun.
No matter how intimate the relationship between Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju was, no matter how important Li Fengyun's "chess piece" was in Pei Shiju's grand layout, it was a past tense. Now Li Fengyun's strength has increased greatly and his ambition has expanded. His wings have grown hard and he will spread his wings and fly high. He no longer obeys Pei Shiju, nor is he charging for Pei Shiju to die. He has his own interest demands, so the two sides will inevitably have a fierce conflict. Pei Shiju lost control of Li Fengyun. Once Li Fengyun loses control, it will pose too great a threat to Pei Shiju. This may be the reason why Pei Shiju is determined to kill Li Fengyun and kill Li Fengyun.
The more Wei Fusi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even felt a sense of terror that he was completely out of control.
The reason why the King of Qi formed a tacit understanding and cooperated with Li Fengyun was not because Li Fengyun had tens of thousands of mobs, but because behind Li Fengyun was the Hebei rich family, Pei Shiju, and a huge political force, but people would change. Li Fengyun used to listen to Pei Shiju? But now he may not listen, but he still took Pei Shiju's "big banner" to cheat and cheat for personal gain; Li Fengyun used to rely on the King of Qi to survive and develop, but now he may have to go backwards and step on the King of Qi's shoulders to realize his ambitions.
Of course, these are all unfounded random speculations, which come from the fear in the heart. In fact, if anyone is plotted by his opponent and always led by his nose, he will be helpless and powerless, and will be afraid. And a powerful and powerful like Wei Fusi, who are in such a passive situation, is even more difficult to accept. He will inevitably try every means to launch a counterattack and do his best to get rid of the opponent's control. However, facing an almost evil opponent like Li Fengyun and Pei Shiju, Wei Fusi is helpless and has no choice but to deal with it passively and be tired of dealing with it.
After thinking about it, Wei Fusi repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally accepted the proposal of Er Li, and immediately entered Boling to suppress the thieves. He cooperated tacitly with the wealthy families in northern Hebei, and used the case of Song Zixian's conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord, and first got the benefits that were within his fingertips before talking about them.
After this major case broke out, it was a bit difficult to deal with this political crisis by relying solely on the power of the Hebei Hebei wealthy family. After all, there were too many opponents from the Hebei Hebei wealthy family, and everyone rushed forward, and even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be unable to resist. They would definitely be beaten to the point of being blue and swollen and suffered heavy losses. Now that the King of Qi entered Boling, intervened before the crisis broke out, and joined forces with the Hebei Hebei wealthy family to deal with the crisis, the situation was very different.
The King of Qi is the only legitimate prince of the Holy Lord. Even if the father and son turn against each other, it is the family matter of the Holy Lord. Once the others intervene in it and attack the King of Qi indiscriminately, the nature will be serious and the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, after the crisis broke out, the opponents of the wealthy families in the northern Hebei region dared not take action before the Holy Lord made a clear statement, and could only sharpen their swords.
How does the Holy Lord express his opinion? If you take advantage of the situation and crack down on the wealthy families in northern Hebei, the first thing the father and son must do is to confront each other head-on. The greater the pressure the Holy Lord puts on, the greater the favor the wealthy families in northern Hebei owed the King of Qi. This is equivalent to helping the King of Qi win the support of the wealthy families in northern Hebei and helping the King of Qi expand their political strength. The Holy Lord will not do such stupid things. Besides, the Holy Lord will not lose his mind in anger and fall into a trap and break up with the wealthy families in northern Hebei. But the crisis will eventually be
In dealing with it, the wealthy families in northern Hebei always have to pay some price for this, so the Holy Lord was eager to find a solution to the best of both worlds, which was very difficult. The appearance of the King of Qi just solved his urgent needs and gave the Lord a way to solve this crisis "perfectly" and "take it lightly" under the excuse of "harmony between father and son". This not only resolved the crisis, but also won the favors of the wealthy families in northern Hebei, but also destroyed the King of Qi's unpredictable intentions. He won multiple goals in one fell swoop and everyone was happy.
As for the suggestion that the King of Qi quickly went north to Huaihuang, Wei Fusi agreed in principle. After all, the resistance of King of Qi to go north to guard the border is too great. If we rely solely on the changes in the situation in the northern border and the relationship between the north and the south to force the Holy Lord and the Central Government to make the decision of King of Qi to guard the border, it is too passive and has too great variables. Therefore, King of Qi must turn passive into initiative and must actively promote the situation in the northern border and the relationship between the north and the south to develop in a direction that is conducive to his own. If we want to do this, the premise is to go north decisively and quickly, and we will not give the Holy Lord and the Central Government time to obstruct and oppose it. We will first seize the initiative in the fait accompli.
"I can't give you an accurate reply now, because when King Qi will go north and which road to go north must be agreed on according to the development of the situation. It is meaningless for us to talk about it on paper."
As soon as Wei Fusi said this, Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong knew his true intentions. This was a big talk in the lion and asked for a price everywhere.
If the second Li wanted to enter the former land of Anzhou before the heavy snow came, the time was already very tight. It was mid-August, and there were still two months left. If the King of Qi wanted to complete the task of restraining the Turks, he had to arrive at the important town of Huaihuang before mid-September, otherwise the second Li would be blocked from the frontier. This is obvious.
Li Fengyun thought for a moment and said, "As for the current situation in northern Xinjiang, the Holy Lord and the Central Government will not return to the Dongdu for the time being. According to my guess, the time for the Holy Lord and the Central Government to return to Beijing should be after the alliance army goes out. If the King of Qi plans to go north to Huaihuang after the Holy Lord returns to Beijing, it will be too late and will not be able to provide us with strong support."
The implication is very straightforward. This plan is beneficial to Central Earth, so the Holy Lord and the Central Master neither support nor oppose it, and watch coldly. This will inevitably lead to acquiescent and indulgence in the matter of King Qi going north. The resistance of King Qi going north is far less difficult than Wei Fusi imagined.
Li Zixiong also added in time, "The key to whether the East strategy can complete the first stage is that the speed of the army is the focus of speed, and the attack on the enemy outside the frontier with lightning speed. Once we are blocked outside the frontier and cannot enter Anzhou for a long time, major events will be gone. This strategy is no longer a question of whether it can be implemented, but basically the possibility of implementation is lost."
Wei Fusi hesitated for a moment and insisted on his opinion, "I objected to your out-of-bounds trip, and the King of Qi may not agree to you to implement this strategy. Although it is very difficult for you to trap the flying fox, compared to the huge risks of going out of the frontier, I would rather trap the flying fox. After all, after the King of Qi went north, both sides would have the opportunity to cooperate tacitly to reverse the crisis. Once you are wiped out of the frontier, don't talk about the opportunity, nothing will be left."
Li Zixiong also wanted to persuade him, but Li Fengyun decisively raised his hand to stop him and put forward the conditions directly, "Dangyang Gong, it is impossible for the alliance army to go out of the frontier, and it is impossible for some to lead more than 100,000 troops to fight north, and it is even more impossible for some to bet and dig your own grave when the situation is still unclear."
Wei Fusi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This is what he wanted. You can go out to the frontier and die, but you cannot ruin the hope of the King of Qi. The alliance army was divided into two, and you led the elite troops out to the frontier to fight and take a risk. If you succeed, the King of Qi also made contributions and everyone was happy. Otherwise, if it fails, it will not affect the King of Qi's continued implementation of the "Going North Plan".
However, the problem also arises. When Li Fengyun goes out of the frontier, Li Zixiong will also have to go to the fortress. So who will control the alliance army that remains behind Feihu? Can this left-behind army reach a tacit understanding with the King of Qi and be used by the King of Qi? If this left-behind army is controlled by the wealthy families in northern Hebei, not only will the King of Qi be in trouble, but the entire northern border and even the north will have unpredictable variables.
Wei Fusi proposed more harsh conditions for this. Before the Second Li went to the Frontier, before the alliance divided the troops into two groups, the King of Qi, the Hebei Hei Family, the Youyan Family and the Alliance controlled by the Second Li must work together. To put it bluntly, it is to use the huge benefits brought by the strategy of entering and leaving the Frontier once it is successful, and to use the "super big cake" drawn by Pei Shiju to unite the "crossing river dragon" and the "local snake" to work together to seek the future. In name, it is a sharing of interests, but in fact it is to expand the political power with the King of Qi as the core. In this way, even if the Second Li and the army out of the Frontier are completely wiped out, they will not harm the interests of the King of Qi.
Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong looked at each other with a look of difficulty. It cannot be said that Wei Fusi is a tough person. If the King of Qi wants to make a difference in northern Xinjiang, he really needs to win the cooperation between the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan. The strategy of entering and leaving the frontier is indeed a good opportunity to bring everyone together to form a community of interests. However, if you want to seize this opportunity, the only candidate to run around in the middle is Li Fengyun, so Wei Fusi has no reason not to make this request.
