On September 23rd, the Holy Lord went south and returned to the capital.

In the past month, the Holy Lord personally took charge of the northern border, quickly stabilized the situation in the northern border, and also gave the two capitals plenty of time to quell the rebellion and the aftermath. But what disappointed the Holy Lord was that to this day, Yuwen Shu, the left guard of the left guard of the right guard, Fan Zigai, and Wen Sheng, the left guard of the East Capital, tried every means, but failed to achieve political compromise between the two capitals. The political situation of the two capitals was not stable because of the anti-rebellion, but became increasingly chaotic and the political struggle became increasingly fierce. Xijing wanted to regain its position as the capital, and it took this opportunity to curb and crack down on reform forces. Although the Dongdu was severely damaged by Yang Xuangan's rebellion and his authority plummeted, he swears to maintain the position of the capital to the death without giving in. The conflicts between the two sides were sharp and there was no room for compromise.

Yuwen Shu came to Hu'er, Fan Zigai and Wei Wensheng had no choice but to submit a joint report, asking the Holy Lord to return to the Dongdu as soon as possible, use the emperor's supreme authority to restore and consolidate the Dongdu's position as the capital, and then suppress Xijing politically and use tough means to stabilize the political situation of the two capitals.

The Holy Lord was also helpless. The root of the current political crisis between the two capitals is the struggle between reform and conservatives. The Holy Lord maintains and consolidates the results of reform. To redistribute power and wealth, he must firmly control the highest decision-making power, suppresses conservatives, and wins a greater advantage in politics and military. But now the Holy Lord has suffered unprecedented political and military damage because of the two consecutive years of failure in the Eastern Expedition. The result is that in this bad situation, the political opponents took advantage of the injustice and launched a crazy counterattack. The rebellion on both sides of the river is just the beginning, and Yang Xuangan's betrayal is a fatal blow. Now the two capitals are "fighting" and are moving further and further away, and the days of turning against each other are getting closer and closer, and the situation is very critical.

How to reverse the situation? The key is not political compromise. Compromise cannot actually solve the fundamental problem, but will only make contradictions and conflicts more and more intense. In the view of the Holy Lord, the key to resolving this political crisis is to win the final victory of the Eastern Expedition, win political and military advantages, and then take the power of the victory of the Eastern Expedition to "head-on-head strike" the counterattacking conservatives, use tough measures to curb the conservatives, and win the temporary stability of the political situation between the two capitals again.

How to continue to promote reforms next? It depends on the Civil War. We must first stabilize the internal affairs of the foreign war, and use the final victory of the Eastern Expedition to "settle the internal affairs" to resolve the political crisis between the two capitals, and then work together to "repel foreign affairs" to win the Civil War and win the absolute political and military advantages, so as to completely resolve the "internal and external troubles" that seriously threaten the survival of the country and the great cause of unification.

So now the Holy Lord is focused on the third Eastern Expedition. He knows that even if he returns to Dongdu, even if he takes advantage of the opportunity of the liquidation of Yang Xuangan's party to start a massacre, he still cannot solve the political crisis between the two capitals. Instead, it will heat up the struggle between the two capitals and make the crisis between the two capitals even more serious.

In fact, this is indeed the case. It would be better if the Holy Lord did not go back. It could also deter the two capitals. It could also use this deterrence to control the struggle between the two capitals to an acceptable range between both sides. Most of the Holy Lord's confidants had weak foundations and rely on "fakes and tigers to act". When he was in Dongdu, these people had backers, were rampant and unscrupulous. On the contrary, these people would have to restrain themselves. If they were too arrogant, they would definitely be finished if they were plotted against by their opponents. Therefore, if the Holy Lord did not go back, the reformists would inevitably restrain themselves during political liquidation. This is equivalent to the Holy Lord's voluntary compromise for the voluntary compromise. Since the Holy Lord took the initiative to compromise and exchanged for the controllable crisis, the conservatives would naturally be happy. For them, as long as the liquidation is controlled within the smallest scope, their own interests can be maintained to the greatest extent, that's fine.

Therefore, the Holy Lord did not have the intention to return to the Eastern Capital, but the situation was stronger than the people. When the situation in the northern border was gradually stabilizing, he neither issued an order to end the Eastern Expedition, nor did he withdraw the expeditionary army and craftsmen from Liaodong, nor did he return to the capital to stabilize the political situation of the two capitals to consolidate the authority of the central government. That is, he would be inaction and would definitely be attacked by political opponents. Once rumors arose, the consequences would be serious. Not only would the Holy Lord's own prestige decline, but it would also affect the authority of the central government, and even aroused public anger. In particular, the number of people recruited in the two Eastern Expeditions in Zhongda Henan and North and South. Since he went to Liaodong, he would not see people coming back. The people had long complained. If this emotion on the verge of out-of-control was deliberately used by the conspirators and the scale and scope of the rebellion expanded again, the domestic situation would be very likely to deteriorate and become out of control. Due to reality, the Holy Lord had to pack up his clothes and embark on the road to return to Beijing.

That night, the Holy Lord's car stopped in Liangxiang, Zhuo County. At this moment, the memorial sent by King Qi from Huaihuang arrived, and the memorial of the deputy left-behind Yinshishi, Zhuo County, arrived at the same time.

Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, was the first to see these two memorials. After reading them, he looked solemn and pondered for a long time, so he hurriedly met with the Holy Lord.

When the Holy Lord heard that it was the King of Qi who was urgently reported, he immediately summoned Yu Shiji. After reading the memorial, the Holy Lord also looked solemn and fell into deep thought.

Previously, the Yinshi Master had an urgent response, saying that the King of Qi went out of the frontier without authorization on the grounds of suppressing the thieves and confronted the Turks in the River of Lightning. The two sides were about to break out, and the situation in the north and south was at risk of collapse at any time. At that time, the Holy Lord was furious, but it had become a fact and could only try to save it. Besides, the Holy Lord also wanted to know whether the Turks dared to turn against each other and whether they would take the lead in launching the Civil War. The King of Qi's move was just enough to achieve the purpose of temptation, so he let it go and asked Duan Da and Yinshi Master to take precautions to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the Great Wall.

After that, Yinshi Master also made a quick report, but the development of the situation was basically the same as the Holy Lord's speculation. Neither the King of Qi nor Chi Jishe could afford the serious consequences of the breakdown of the North-South relationship. Both sides maintained great restraint. However, this would be cheaper for the White-haired Thieves and Li Zixiong. They actually led their teams to the Lightning Origin. If nothing unexpected happens, both will be defeated. Then the King of Qi came forward to clean up the mess. The Turks knocked off their teeth and swallowed them, and had to accept the result of severe damage.

However, the Holy Lord was wrong. In the memorial, King Qi told the Holy Lord that Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief led their team to kill out of the Turks, rushed into the flat pine forest, and launched an attack on Anzhou.

This news was proved by Yin Shi Master who was delivered to the palace at the same time.

In a hurry, the Yinshi Master told the Holy Lord that the King of Qi returned to Huaihuang late at night on September 20th. At the same time, he arrived at Huaihuang, two special envoys from the Desert Tooth Treasure, were accompanied by Bitler Ashnasmo and Shilifashi Shuhu Husse.

In addition, according to the Wu Ben Lang general Zhao Shizhu and Huaihuang Town general, Wu Yalang general, Han Maha reported that Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief used the pursuit of the King of Qi and the defense of the Turks against the King of Qi, they successfully broke out from the siege and blocking of two powerful opponents, entered the flat pine forest, and rushed straight to Anzhou. The two later analyzed and inferred that the reason why Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief took the initiative to go out to the frontier was that their target was Anzhou. They had targeted Anzhou from the beginning, and everything they had done before was illusion. They deliberately used the power of the official, and used the help of the tiger and the wolf-eating tricks to kill all the opponents, and then gave a fatal blow.

The Holy Lord was surprised and did not expect that the situation in northern Xinjiang would have such an incredible change.

The tricks of Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief are not important. What is important is that they may capture Anzhou. Once Anzhou falls into the hands of Middle-earth, it will first change Middle-earth's disadvantage in the confrontation between the north and the south, which will help Middle-earth to seize the initiative in the upcoming Civil War and win more chances of victory.

There are advantages and disadvantages. Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief risked the danger of being wiped out and attacked Anzhou at all costs. Their goal was definitely not to capture a small territory, but to use Anzhou as a fulcrum to leverage the major changes in the situation in the north and south, and then make huge benefits from this change. So, what benefits do they need? Can Dongdu give these benefits?

The Holy Lord disagreed. A group of rebels, whether they are noble or humble, have nothing but wealth. They can afford this little profit. Of course, the premise is that they want to take Anzhou, defeat the Xi tribe, and defeat the Turks, and use facts to prove that they and Anzhou are of great value, otherwise everything will be free.

So, can these rebels take Anzhou? The Holy Lord thinks that he can expect it. Although he does not believe in the white-haired thieves, and even directly ignore the white-haired thieves, he believes in the abilities of Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and Zhou Zhong. He even believes that this strategy comes from Li Zixiong. The "luxury lineup" of a founding father and the sons of two famous generals is too strong. It is a luxury to use it to fight a Donghu Zaohu. In addition, at this moment, King Xi Ahui was taking the army of five Xi tribes to expedition to Khitan. The country is empty, with very good fighter opportunities, and at least half of the chance of winning.

What does half the chance of winning mean? Considering that the Turks would not give up on the Xi tribe and Anzhou, considering that Chijishi Ashinadula and Bulishi Ashinadul would have to do their best to regain Anzhou under the coercion of Shibi Khan. Considering that the three Northeastern tribes of Xi, Xi and Khitan might join hands to fight against the common enemy, Zhongtu, in order to deal with their common enemy, Zhongtu, Li Zixiong even though he had no defeat in the initial battle, he would win Anzhou in one go, but if he wanted to save the results in the later period, it would be very difficult, and he might even be wiped out.

In other words, Li Zixiong only had the power of one battle. After the first battle, he was exhausted all his manpower, material resources and financial resources. He had to wait for death. His only hope was to stay at the Zhuo County Left-guard Mansion. As long as the Zhuo County Left-guard Mansion provided support at the instruction of the Dongdu, Li Zixiong could support it, fight continuously to consolidate the results of the battle, and firmly control Anzhou.

This is the real purpose of the King of Qi's urgent comments, but King of Qi was obviously worried that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee were seriously skeptical about his motives, so the memorial was written very cautiously, carefully and carefully, and there was no place to be found in the literal way to make the people feel real.

In the memorial, Yin Shishishi presented in detail the analysis of Zhao Shizhu and Po Liu Han Maha on this out-of-bounds battle. It is speculated that he is optimistic and supportive about the recovery of Anzhou, but his expression is also very implicit. All he can do is to restrain the Turks in the southeast of the Dike in the north of Yan. This requires the tacit cooperation of the King of Qi. Without the "Great God" of Qi, he, a deputy guard of Zhuo County and thousands of garrison troops, could not restrain the Turks at all.

The Holy Lord thought for a long time, looked up at Yu Shiji and asked, "What do you think of this matter if you love me?"

"Master, the opportunity is rare." Yu Shiji said calmly, "It's just that before the result comes out, it's too early to say."

This is actually a supportive attitude. After all, once this matter is successful, it will be too great for Zhongtu to give up. But now the result is not revealed, and nothing is useful to say.

The Holy Lord nodded slightly and pondered without saying a word.

Yu Shiji knew what the Holy Lord was thinking, and immediately said, "Sage, since Shanggu was poisoned by the traitor, the people's hearts have been in chaos and the situation is unstable, and they need to be comforted. Now the Supreme Lord is passing by Shanggu, so why not stay for a moment..."

"Good!" The Holy Lord agreed without waiting for Yu Shiji to finish his speech.
