Li Zixiong's confusion and suspicion fell into Duan Da's eyes exactly.

Since you are honest, then be honest to the end, there is no need to hide it and cause misunderstandings.

"The Neishisans Feng Deyi." Duan Da took the initiative to "confess" without waiting for Li Zixiong to question it. "Feng Deyi rushed to Gaoyang under the order and passed by Jumahe on the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar month. Because the road was blocked, he stayed until now."

Feng Deyi, a Neishishusans? Li Zixiong suddenly realized. Although Feng Deyi was from Hebei, Feng Deyi and Pei Shiju were both old ministers of Gao Qi. This special experience made both of them imprinted with special political marks, and they often formed a tacit understanding in the center so that they could benefit each other. At this moment, Pei Shiju urgently needed to adjust his diplomatic strategy. Feng Deyi was dragged down by the Yang Xuangan mutiny because the old Duke of Yue had the kindness of helping him, and was in danger. One of the two wanted to stabilize the relationship between the north and the south, and the other wanted to actively save themselves, and they just needed to work together.

However, the same doubts reappeared. Duan Da is a northwestern warrior. Feng Deyi comes from a Hebei family. These two people belong to different camps. Why do they cooperate?

"How much did you say to Feng Deyi?" Li Zixiong asked immediately.

"You know everything and you can speak all the time."

Li Zixiong didn't believe it. He knew Feng Deyi very well. Both of them were political allies of the old Duke Yue, and at one time they were the right-hand men of the left and right centers of the old Duke Yue.

One of the important reasons why Feng Deyi is a political "tumbler" is that he devoted himself to the Duke of Lao Yue. The Feng family in Hebei is therefore politically dependent on the Yang family of Hongnong, and even married the Yang family of Hongnong. Feng Deyi married the cousin of Yang Su, the Duke of Lao Yue. The Duke of Yue always chose the right choice in the political storm, which also created the name of Feng Deyi's "tumbler".

After the death of the old Duke of Yue Yang Su, the conservatives lost another "big banner" and lost huge strength, which directly led to the conservatives falling at a disadvantage in the struggle with the reformists. At the critical moment, Feng Deyi saw that the "wind direction was wrong", immediately looked for a retreat, formed a political alliance with Yu Shiji, the Internal Historian of Jiangzuo people, decisively moved closer to the reformists, stepped on two boats, and became a "fence-riding faction". Yang Xuangan was very angry at Feng Deyi's "reverse", and the relationship between the two sides was immediately tense and quickly alienated.

Facts prove that Feng Deyi deviates from Hongnong Yang family and alienates Yang Xuangan. His political sensitivity is amazing. It is indeed a great talent to be a "tumbling man" in politics. From this, it can be inferred that at this critical moment, an important juncture related to whether Feng Deyi's political life can survive. Feng Deyi will definitely make extraordinary moves in politics to save himself. Is this extraordinary move a condescending to the nobles and cooperate with Duan Da? Of course, Li Zixiong does not believe it.

"Why did Feng Deyi believe you?" Li Zixiong questioned without hesitation, "What help can you give him?"

Duan Da looked awkward and a hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes. He was an emerging aristocrat who rose up on military merits. In the eyes of Li Zixiong and Feng Deyi, the children of the aristocratic families, such as Li Zixiong and Feng Deyi, were always a local bun, a humble person, who was not respected or favored, and his self-esteem was hit hard, but the overall situation was the most important, so he could only endure it at this moment.

Duan Da hesitated for a moment and said, "This starts with the white-haired thief attacking Gao Yang."

Li Zixiong waved at him and signaled himself to listen carefully.

Duan Da hesitated. It was too difficult to win Li Zixiong's trust, but if he wanted to explain the cooperation between himself and Feng Deyi clearly, he would inevitably be caught by Li Zixiong, and it would be unfavorable for him once it was leaked. As for asking Feng Deyi to come forward, it would be something that he would not even think about. The risks contained in this were too great, and Feng Deyi would not get involved. At least he would not come forward before seeing the substantial benefits, and he was unwilling and dared not seek help from Feng Deyi. Judging from Feng Deyi's face, he was subject to Feng Deyi and could eventually be sold by Feng Deyi. He didn't know how to die if he died.

However, if Duan Da wants to go further in his career, the contribution of the third Eastern Expedition is necessary, and the contribution of the North-South War is even more indispensable. For this reason, Duan Da must work diligently and do his best to achieve results in the northern border town garrison. This achievement not only includes stabilizing the situation in Youyan, but also seizing the initiative in the relationship between the north and the south. However, Duan Da has too many enemies now, not only the northern barbarians outside the frontier, but also the powerful "local snakes" such as the local forces of Youyan, but also the three tough "crossing river dragons" of Qi, Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief. It can be said that the strong enemies are like forests and are difficult step by step.

Fortunately, Duan Da and the "Bijianglong" have common enemies and have common goals in the short term, which gives the basis for cooperation between the two sides. The premise of cooperation is trust. Without trust, there will be no real cooperation. Therefore, whether for the overall situation or for selfish interests, whether for the destiny of Central China or for its own future, Da needs to cooperate with the "Bijianglong" people. Therefore, it is necessary for him to lower his attitude and use his natural advantages to first let the other party see his sincerity in cooperation, otherwise he will be suspicious of each other and even stab each other in the back. The result can be imagined.

Duan Da resolutely decided to take a gamble. He and Li Zixiong are both from the northwest and have common regional interests. As long as it is not a great revenge for life and death, they will not kill each other. After all, the more people in the northwest of the center, the more people in the northwest of the Wei Mansion, the more beneficial it will be to the northwest. This is an unquestionable thing. So in comparison, Duan Da would rather believe in Li Zixiong and would rather work sincerely with Li Zixiong than believe in Feng Deyi, and would rather seek skin from Feng Deyi and Hu.

Duan Da immediately explained the causes and consequences of his temporary cooperation with Feng Deyi.

There is only interests in politics, and it is common for political opponents to cooperate because of interests, so Li Zixiong was not surprised that Duan Da and Feng Deyi worked together. He was curious about why the two cooperated and what common interests were there. The result proved that his guess was correct. Feng Deyi changed his political stance in order to save himself and actively helped the Holy Lord create the conditions for the third Eastern Expedition. In order to win a better political future, Duan Da also actively helped the Holy Lord create the conditions for the third Eastern Expedition. Therefore, King Qi and the white-haired thief became tools for them to gain political benefits.

Duan Da had limited status and power. He could not make profits from the King of Qi, nor did he dare to easily get involved in the battle between imperial rule. His "sword" of using a knife to kill people fell on the white-haired thief, and this is the reason why he tried to win Li Zixiong's trust and cooperation at all costs.

Because of this, Li Zixiong captured the "key point" from Duan Da's detailed narrative. Duan Da's earliest intention to seek help from Feng Deyi was to use this "shortcut" to report the Gaoyang crisis to the Holy Lord as quickly as possible. After all, Feng Deyi is from Hejian, and Gaoyang Palace is also in Hejian. The white-haired thief attacked Gaoyang Palace and caused trouble to Hejian County. He will inevitably harm the interests of the Feng family. Feng Deyi will provide help in terms of emotion and reason, but in fact, Feng Deyi not only helped Duan Da, but also accumulated

It is wrong to intervene in it. Why, a central minister, actively intervened in the local affairs of thieves suppressing the enemy? He himself was in crisis, so why did he still actively run for the King of Qi? The Holy Lord ordered Feng Deyi to go to Gaoyang, which was obviously to act as the messenger of the Holy Lord, communicate and negotiate with the King of Qi, and convey that the Holy Lord had the intention of re-appointing the King of Qi. It is not difficult to see that Feng Deyi has won the trust of the Holy Lord again. So how could Feng Deyi eliminate the doubts of the Holy Lord for him?

Li Zixiong immediately thought of a possibility, and Feng Deyi might have guessed the true identity of the white-haired thief.

When Duan Da told Feng Deyi that the white-haired thief was attacking Gao Yang, the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan thieves who were closely connected with Feng Deyi would also provide him with many secrets, so the identity of the white-haired thief was about to emerge, which was the key person who caused the Yulin storm. There were very few people who knew this person's true identity, namely Gao Yang, Yang Su, Pei Shiju, Yuwen Shu, Changsun Sheng and other central officials involved in the diplomatic decision-making of China-Turkish countries. Li Zixiong learned about this secret from Yang Su. At that time, Feng Deyi, as one of Yang Su's "right-hand men", was of course qualified to know this secret.

If Feng Deyi guessed the true identity of the white-haired thief, then he would definitely be like Li Zixiong, and he would definitely be Pei Shiju behind the white-haired thief. The actions of the white-haired thief were controlled by Pei Shiju. Pei Shiju was playing a big game of chess, and the chess player was definitely not Pei Shiju, but a large number of people. The goals of these people must be very ambitious. Once successful, the great gains will be immeasurable. So Li Zixiong decided to intervene, find a glimmer of vitality and reverse his destiny. Feng Deyi also decided to intervene in order to seize the initiative and get a share of the possible benefits in the future.

Li Zixiong suddenly became excited and felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. He could be sure that Feng Deyi had already threatened Pei Shiju with the secret of the white-haired thief, thus becoming one of the chess players in the big chess game. The two sides formed a tacit understanding and joined forces to push the "chess game" in the predetermined direction.

"I believe in your sincerity." Li Zixiong said, "Tell me about your cooperation plan."

"The situation in northern Yan is chaotic and the easiest will be cut off from the north and south." Duan Da was also blunt and directly expressed his intention to cooperate. "After winter comes, you go out to the frontier to fight and fight on the front line of the Lightning River. On the one hand, you drive the Yaqi of the southern part of the Northern Lu towards Yinshan and Jikou, and on the other hand, you will deter the Far East captives such as Xi, Xi, Shiwei, Khitan, and Mohe, and win a relatively stable situation for the northern border."

Li Zixiong smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf, and using a knife to kill people, so as to achieve the goal of fighting between snipe and clam, and fisherman gaining profits. Good idea and a plan. Duan Liuguan easily solved the two major hidden dangers inside and outside the Great Wall without spending a soldier. Killing people without blood is a good way!" After that, he had done his best to mock him.

Duan Da had a expressionless face and a firm look. He told Li Zixiong clearly that I am the government and the military officer, and I have the advantage. But now, you should not be based in Yanbei, even survival is a problem. What are you bargaining with me?

"You are too arrogant. If you didn't cooperate with Feng Deyi and didn't pull Pei Shiju in, you said this to me, and I might have considered it, but now..." Li Zixiong pointed at Duan Da and said seriously, "You sold yourself, but you still know nothing, and you have no idea that you have already lost control of the situation."

Duan Da pretended to be calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil and he was secretly shocked.
