Pei Shiju went west and King Qi went north. These measures were helpful to the Holy Lord and the Central Government to create the best conditions for continuing the Eastern Expedition "outside". Inside, Yuwen Shu came to Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and Qu Tutong and other commanders of the Weifu Palace encircled Yang Xuangan as quickly as possible and quickly stabilized the political situation of the Eastern Capital, the Holy Lord and the Central Government had the basic conditions to launch the third Eastern Expedition.

Once the third Eastern Expedition was won, the foreign war that lasted for three years was perfectly "finished". With its strong national strength and unyielding spirit, China and Turkey finally conquered the Far East and dominated the interests of the Far East. This will inevitably have a positive and positive impact on the relationship between the North and South. The measures of Sino-Turkish alliance with the Western Turks to jointly curb and attack the northern desert will inevitably pose a serious threat to the East. The situation reversed. The northern desert was attacked by the enemy from both sides and the dilemma of fighting on both sides. The tension between the North and South will inevitably ease, and the outbreak of the war between the North and South will inevitably be postponed.

Therefore, Feng Deyi was more optimistic about the analysis and deduction of future trends and did not agree with Pei Shiju's pessimism. Strength determines everything. As long as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee win the final victory of the Eastern Expedition and gain a certain advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south, then the future of Middle-earth should be very optimistic.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the situation in the future is getting worse and worse. After all, nothing is absolutely absolute. The third Eastern Expedition may fail, the war between the North and South may break out early, the two capitals may break up completely and "fight" and the country may fall into a crisis of collapse. However, under the pressure of its own crisis, Feng Deyi had to consciously "ignor" these possible adverse factors, and was unwilling to comprehensively evaluate and consider how to maximize the maintenance of the interests of Sino-Turkey and the country's life based on the worst situation, but the primary guarantee

To obstruct the interests of oneself, family and aristocratic group, Feng Deyi must "force" himself to change his judgment of future trends, "required" himself to be confident in the future of Middle Earth, "required" himself to be highly consistent with the radical stance of the Holy Lord and the Central, and do his best to promote the wheel of history to the trajectory expected by the highest decision-making level, and not allow it to have any deviation. Only in this way can we have the best of both worlds, and can not only maintain the interests of oneself, family and aristocratic group, but also protect the interests of Middle Earth and the country.

Feng Deyi knew that his sudden change of position would inevitably affect the political "wind direction" of the center and would have an impact on the central "health faction" such as Su Wei and Pei Shiju, but Pei Shiju accepted his "help" and told him the strategy of traveling west, further clarifying the future trend.

Pei Shiju told him clearly that as a Shandong native, Feng Deyi had no choice. When the political situation between the two capitals within the Middle Earth moved from confrontation to breaking, and when the external situation between the three strong men changed from a three-strong man to a two-tiger and a wolf, the conflicts between China and foreign countries intensified. The opponent of the Shandong people inside was the Guanlong people, so Feng Deyi could only firmly support the Holy Lord to fight against the Xijing, which was moving further and further away, while the enemy of the Shandong people outside was the northern desert barbarians, so Feng Deyi could only work with the Holy Lord and do his best to block the northern desert barbarians who were invading the south.

Feng Deyi quickly made a decision to support the launch of the third Eastern Expedition, and actively created favorable conditions in the next few months to promote the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to make the decision on the third Eastern Expedition by the end of this year or early next year.

On the third day of the August 19th, in the early morning of the morning, Duan Da, left behind in Zhuo County, received an urgent report from the Yingyanglang general Hou Mo Chenwei. He was shocked and urgently summoned officials of the left-behind office to discuss countermeasures overnight.

Hou Mo Chen Wei urgently reported that there were tens of thousands of rebels waiting for the south bank of Juma River, and he had only more than 1,000 people under his command. The disparity between the two sides was too great and the river was blocked. Although he tried to cross the river, he could not get through at all. After many inquiries, it was finally confirmed that the rebels came from the southern part of the Great River, mainly composed of the thieves of Qi and Lu, and the thieves were the notorious white-haired thieves.

In addition, the scouts also found a large number of rebels on both sides of the Yishui River. Yicheng, the capital of Shanggu, has been surrounded by rebels. Wuhui City upstream of Yishui has been lost. Puyin Xingkou, the key pass of Taihang Mountain, has also been lost. Puyin Xingkou is an important passage across the north and south foothills of Taihang Mountain. The disconnection of this passage means that the road with the shortest distance between Yan, Ji and You has been "paralyzed". In Feihu Xing to the north, the safety of Lingqiu Road has also lost its security, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the safety of the northern border towns.

The rebels threaten the security of the northern border town garrisons, which is completely different from the rebels' disaster in Hebei. For the center, the rebels' disaster in Hebei is internal affairs, and it is enough to send troops to encircle and suppress, but the rebels' disaster in the northern border will inevitably affect the border town garrisons and the relationship between the north and the south. Once the handling is not done carefully, the situation in the northern border will be chaotic, and various tribes in the Great Wall will take the opportunity to rebel, while the northern enemy outside the frontier will take the opportunity to go south to attack the border, and attack inside and outside. The Great Wall's defense line will be in danger and the situation will be severe.

Duan Da believed in Hou Mo and Chen Wei's urgent report, and the same was true for other officials in the left-behind office. The reason was very simple. These messages must have come from wealthy families such as the Lu family in Fanyang. Hou Mo and Chen Wei, a small Ying Yanglang general, could not find out about this news. The reason why the Lu family and other wealthy families released the news at this moment must have some kind of "tactic understanding" with the Hebei wealthy families in order to achieve the goals they need.

The left-behind mansion quickly made a decision and immediately mobilized troops to go south to suppress the bandits. First, they killed the rebels from Shanggu County, removed the siege of Yicheng, and recaptured the important Taihang Passes such as Puyin Xing, Louting and Wuhui, ensuring the safety of important passages such as Lingqiu Road, Feihu Xing, and Puyin Xing, and ensuring that the white-haired bandits did not cross the Taihang Mountains to escape Daiyan, which then affected the northern border town garrisons.

But the question is, how many troops can the left-behind office send?

Zhuo County is bounded by Taihang Mountain, with Yan in the north and You in the south. Each has a large army of garrisons. Among them, Yanbei Zhenguan Army not only assumed the important task of defending the northern desert captivity in the north direction, but also defended Xi, Wu and Khitan in the southeast Yanshan line. Therefore, Yanbei Zhenguan Army must not be transferred. Although the number of garrisons in Youzhou is larger, the capital Jicheng is the northern end of the Grand Canal and is an important storage place for strategic materials. The garrison power must be guaranteed. In addition, the deputy left-behind general Chen Ling had taken away 10,000 troops south to assist the Dongdu. The remaining troops were not large. Now the Holy Lord and the Palace temporarily lived in Linshuo Palace. The left-behind mansion must be strengthened. In this way, the left-behind mansion basically cannot withdraw troops to fight south to suppress the bandits.

What should I do? Of course, I asked the Holy Lord and the Central Government for help. Now the Holy Lord is surrounded by more than 5,000 imperial guards from the inner palace (three attendants and five offices), more than 10,000 Suwei camp soldiers from the outer palaces belonging to the left and right guards, and those who have just recruited new troops this year and are not in the twelve guards' system, and they are directly obeyed the orders of the Holy Lord and the Central Government for the 10,000 Xiaoguo Army.

Duan Da "targeted" the Xiaoguo Army. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee could see the real intention of white-haired thieves to disrupt Hebei and threaten the northern border, the result would be unpredictable. However, no matter what the result was, the remaining offices of Zhuo County did not need to take the initiative to actively suppress the thieves to avoid impulsiveness and recklessness to cause disaster. Therefore, at present, the situation of "struggle" in terms of military strength is "best". If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Lord will definitely call the Xiaoguo Army, so Duan Da will escape the "top of the storm" and will not be a victim in the fierce confrontation between the Holy Lord and the King of Qi.

Duan Da was anxious and anxious, but as a local chief, the possibility of him being a local chief was very small. He could only submit a memorial according to the legal procedures and wait patiently for the Holy Lord's edict or the summons of the Holy Lord. However, the situation is very serious at present, and Jumahe is only about 300 miles away from Jicheng. If the white-haired thief was hot and desperate, he led the rebels to rush to Linshuo Palace, the matter would be out of control, and in the end he could not even keep his head. After all, it was common for the Holy Lord to kill several officials in anger to vent his anger.

Duan Da was not patient and had no time to wait, so he once again reported Feng Deyi through private channels overnight and asked Feng Deyi for help. Feng Deyi had agreed before, helping him present the memorial of Gao Yang's sudden attack by the rebels to the Holy Lord as quickly as possible, but two days passed, and there was no news in the palace, which made Duan Da very angry.

On the third day of the eighth month, before dawn, Feng Deyi had just fallen asleep less than an hour after he was woken up by his nearby servant in his sleep.

Feng Deyi was sleepy and opened Duan Da's secret report in a daze. He just glanced at it and jumped up from the couch, with no sleepiness and a nervous expression. He never expected that the situation would change so quickly. Could it be that his inference was wrong? Did the King of Qi not intend to go north to guard the border? Did the King of Qi lose his mind and want to take a gamble and turn his back on his father and son? Or was it a white-haired thief or others who had ulterior motives that dug a big hole for the King of Qi at the critical moment, wanting to attack Linshuo Palace, use a knife to kill people, and force the Holy Lord to kill the King of Qi?

Feng Deyi was a little "chaotic". After rushing to wash, he directly found Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History.

Yu Shiji was busy with government affairs, and had a lot of troubles in a day, and had very little sleep time. He got up before dawn to review the memorial. Seeing Feng Deyi coming in a hurry, his expression was serious and his expression was nervous, Yu Shiji immediately realized that something big happened. Feng Deyi's qualifications in the center were very old, and he saw too many strong winds and waves. He was always calm when he encountered problems. The Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his expression remained unchanged. It was rare to see him so nervous.

"Duke Jing, what's the urgent report? From the other side of the Dongdu?" Yu Shiji asked Feng Deyi to sit down and asked immediately.

"There is nothing happening in the Dongdu, but something happened in Shanggu." Feng Deyi asked anxiously, "Duke Kuaiji, has the memorial left behind some days been submitted to the Holy Lord?"

Yu Shiji's eyes were surprised. Something happened to Shanggu? What could happen to Shanggu?

"It has been submitted to the Holy Lord." Yu Shiji frowned and said, "But the Holy Lord has reviewed too many memorials, and it may not have been approved yet. Gong Jing, what happened to Shanggu?"

"The white-haired thief arrived at Shanggu, and tens of thousands of rebels surrounded Yicheng, captured Puyin Xing, and the troops rushed to Zhuo County."

"Grey-haired thief?" Yu Shiji was surprised, "Where did the news come from?"
