Pei Shiju recommended the King of Qi to go north to garrison? This is expected by everyone. After all, the Holy Lord had no choice but to "relax" when facing the current dilemma. The previous Central Committee agreed to make personnel adjustments to military and political officials in the northern border.

However, King Qi has a special identity. He is the only legitimate prince of the Holy Lord and the future king of Middle-earth. Such an important figure has a great negative impact on going north to guard the border under the current trend of Chinese and foreign countries.

For the domestic power leaders, the signal it sends is the political exile of the King of Qi, which may intensify the dispute over the imperial reunification and further deteriorate the political situation between the two capitals; for ordinary nobles and the general public, the signal it sends is that the relationship between the north and the south is tense, and the war between the north and the south is about to begin, which will definitely cause a certain degree of panic and further deteriorate the domestic situation; for the desert tent, the signal it sends is that Sino-Turkish have begun to prepare for war. Taking a step back, Sino-Turkish is pessimistic about the future trend of the relationship between the north and the south. The trust between the two sides will become less and less, and conflicts will become more and more. The war between the north and the south may break out at any time. For this reason, the northern desert must respond actively and actively prepare for war, which will inevitably aggravate the deterioration of the relationship between the north and the south. The pressure on the towns and garrisons in the northern border will increase rapidly, and the crisis in the northern border will become increasingly serious, which will directly affect whether it is possible to continue the eastern expedition next year.

It is too difficult for the King of Qi to go north to guard the border. Even if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee make this decision, they still need to make careful preparations to create a suitable political environment. The negative impact of the King of Qi to guard the border on the domestic and international situation needs to be minimized. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive and will shoot yourself in the foot.

So, how to create a suitable political environment?

At home, at least we must win the stability of the political situation between the two capitals. Both east must make compromises to Xijing, and Xijing must also make concessions to Dongdong. Even if the two sides have broken up, considering the deteriorating situation between China and foreign countries and the upcoming war between the north and the south, we must temporarily maintain balance and unite to the outside world. At the same time, the central government must strengthen its control over the local area, and the Weifu must increase its efforts to suppress the bandits. Although the struggle between the three aristocratic groups of Guanlong, Shandong and Jiangzuo has become increasingly fierce, the domestic rebellion, as a concrete manifestation, is still within a controllable range and has not yet spread to every piece of land in China. It can be swept away with thunder.

On the outside, China and Turkey must consolidate and strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks. Although the lost land and the lost interests in the Western Xinjiang crisis this year are irreversible, they can only kill their teeth and blood. The future is long, so they can endure it for a while. First, they use the power of the Western Turks to provoke the battle between the East and West Turks, attracting the attention of the Northern Husbands of the Desert to the front line of the Great Jinshan Mountain, and sinking the dilemma of the Northern Husbands of the Desert and the left and right to bother, thereby quickly resolving the Western Xinjiang crisis and effectively alleviating the heavy pressure on the Northern Husbands of the Northern Husbands of the Desert.

In creating this political environment, Pei Shiju's role is crucial. He can resolve the crisis in the Western Xinjiang region outside. If the crisis in the Western Xinjiang region is possible, he can coerce and persuade Xijing to make concessions inside. Only when Xijing makes concessions can the Eastern Capital stabilize the political situation of the two capitals; and if the political situation of the two capitals is stable, the Holy Lord and the Central Government can meet the basic conditions for launching the third Eastern Expedition.

So is Pei Shiju absolutely sure to resolve the crisis in Western Xinjiang?

Pei Shiju's way to resolve the crisis in the Western Xinjiang was nominally to sacrifice the interests of Central China in the Western Regions to consolidate and strengthen the alliance with the Western Turks, but in essence it was to provoke the fight between the East and West Turks. The East and West Turks fought and consumed each other, so they were unable to take care of Central China. On the contrary, they also sought Central China. Therefore, Central China could benefit. Not only could the crisis in the West and North China Xinjiang resolve, but they could also win sufficient time to restore national strength. When the national strength was restored, Central China could launch a Civil War, first uniting the Western Turks to destroy the East and Turks, and then sweep across the Western Regions and drive the Western Turks to the west of the Palacioles. In this way, his national defense and diplomatic strategies were successful and his political ambitions were realized.

However, Zhongtu has done this kind of thing once, and the Turks in the East and West suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely damaged. The teacher who learned from the past and later, I believe that neither Turks will repeat the same mistakes. Their first target now is Zhongtu.

The Western Turks were going to fight the Persians to death, and for this reason they tried every means to provoke a war between the Eastern Turks and Central Earth. In order to establish a unified Great Turkic Khanate, the Eastern Turks also had to try to weaken the strength of the Western Turks and Central Earth. Just as the Western Turks were going to fight with the Persians, the only target of the Eastern Turks was Central Earth. As long as they defeated Central Earth and severely damaged Central Earth, it would be easy for the Eastern Turks to deal with the Western Turks, which had suffered losses with the Persians.

After this analysis, it is very difficult for Pei Shiju to achieve the established long-term goals, but the short-term goals are still sure. The Western Turks are still willing to drive the East and the Turks out of the Western Regions, and are still willing to join forces with China and Turkey to pose a threat to the East.

Once the East and Turks are at a disadvantage, they can only compromise. Considering the lessons of the past, the East and West Turks will inevitably join forces to fight against Zhongtu. In this situation, the Western Turks consider that they are about to fight with the Persians, and in order to relieve their worries, this is the best opportunity to provoke the East and the Turks to fight between Zhongtu. They will inevitably instigate the East and the Turks to launch a war between North and South, while the East and East Turks consider that Zhongtu is too powerful and they are unable to deal with Zhongtu alone. At this moment, the Middle Earth Expedition was consecutively defeated, and the vitality was severely damaged. The Western Turks helped to restrain Zhongtu’s most powerful North and South Army. So obviously this is the best opportunity to engage in a war between North and South. Taking advantage of your illness, you will be killed. When will you not fight?

Since the war between the North and the South is visible and inevitable, and the results of Pei Shiju's journey to the west are actually equivalent to accelerating the outbreak of the Civil War from another perspective, Pei Shiju is ready to take action and is naturally necessary to actively prepare for war in northern Xinjiang. However, before today, Pei Shiju considered that the vitality of China and the Earth was severely damaged and did not have the absolute certainty to win the Civil War, so he still strives to use "main harmony" to delay the outbreak of the Civil War.

However, a secret letter from Feng Deyi and a memorial from Duan Da forced him to change his position and support the Holy Lord to continue the eastward expedition. This was equivalent to declaring that China and Turkey's attitude in the relationship between the north and south has changed from "moderate" to "hard", which was a prelude to breaking up. The deterioration of the relationship between the north and the south will inevitably become faster and faster, and the pace of the war between the north and the south will inevitably get closer and closer. This in turn forced Pei Shiju to try all means to strengthen the power of the northern border and try every means to curb and delay the breakdown of the relationship between the north and the south. So he had only one choice, publicly support the King of Qi to go north to guard the border, publicly demand the recruitment of white-haired thieves, and strive to transform the dangerous factors that would have "harm" the situation in the northern border into favorable conditions that can temporarily maintain the relationship between the north and the south, laying a better defense foundation for the upcoming Civil War.

The content in Duan Da’s memorial is definitely credible. Whether it is Feng Deyi or Duan Da, the Yinshishi, it is impossible to lie about military affairs and make jokes about their own wealth and life. If the white-haired thieves have tens of thousands of troops and are fighting on the third line at the same time, it can be seen that their strength has reached a level that is enough to threaten the security of the northern border. On the other hand, if this force is used by the court and invested in the northern border town garrison, the situation of the northern border town will inevitably reverse.

The situation of the northern border garrison has reversed, and the deterioration of the relationship between the north and the south has been curbed. This is very beneficial to Pei Shiju's journey westward and can ensure that Pei Shiju can achieve the predetermined goal. On the contrary, if Pei Shiju provoked a battle between the east and west Turks in the west, while the eastern front is in trouble, the northern border garrison army cannot effectively restrain the Northern Barbarian army, resulting in the desert tent having no worries and dare to concentrate its efforts to fight the Western Turks in the Dajin Mountain, the entire situation will be unfavorable to Zhongtu. If the Western Turks are defeated, Pei Shiju's journey westward will not only return without success, but will even intensify the crisis in the Western Xinjiang.

However, the King of Qi was still able to control the white-haired thieves, but the white-haired thieves were unable to control it. Although the rebellion of the nobles such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, and Zhou Zhong were all under the White-haired thieves' treason, and the Holy Lord could issue an edict to pardon them and allow them to make meritorious deeds, does the white-haired thieves believe in the Holy Lord? Are they willing to serve the court? Are they willing to hand over the army? If the white-haired thieves pretend to be slaughtered first to win respite, then turn against each other, and even connect with foreign countries, and attack the Northern Territory inside and outside, the Great Wall is in danger, and the northern border is more likely to fall into long-term chaos, which is a disaster for the current Middle Earth.

Therefore, for the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, the King of Qi went north to guard the border, the risk was controllable, but recruiting white-haired thieves was not allowed, and the risk was too great. Take a step back, nobles such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong and others can all be pardoned, and young and strong civilians who participated in the rebel army can also be pardoned, but all white-haired thieves and other thieves could not be pardoned. Such people not only have rebellious and cannot be trusted, but more importantly, they have "black hands" behind them. They are only loyal to these "black hands" and have the possibility of rebellion at all times, so they must be killed and killed chickens to scare the monkey. This is a matter of principle and there is no room for negotiation.

Therefore, when Pei Shiju proposed to urge the white-haired thief, the Saint Lord and the central officials all showed surprise. Pei Shiju could not not know the principles of the Saint Lord and the Central Government, nor could he violate the principles. Since that is the case, why did he still put forward this impossible suggestion? Taking a step back, even if the Saint Lord and the Central Government compromise, why should Pei Shiju determine that the White-haired thief and his thief commanders under the tent are willing to hand over their troops and let the court slaughter?

Nayan Su Wei couldn't help it anymore. He and Pei Shiju are not only political ally, but also have a very good personal relationship. At this moment, he could not help but remind Pei Shiju, "Mr. Wen Xi, the white-haired thief is just a pawn. He cannot decide his own destiny. How can he decide the fate of tens of thousands of rebels?"

Pei Shiju thought for a moment and sighed, "Maybe, someone can decide his fate."
