On August 12th, the south bank of Giant Horse River, the alliance camp.

Li Yun received a report from Hao Xiaode that under his command, the Alliance's right army had successfully retreated into Boling County. Under the support of Jun Yuegao, the Alliance's Third Army, retreated to Changshan Pass. Because he carried too much baggage and had a large population, he also had a slow marching speed. For this reason, Hao Xiaode begged Li Fengyun to persist as long as possible on the Jumahe line.

Li Fengyun has not yet completed this battle goal, and the alliance's middle army also has a slight advantage in the Shanggu battlefield, and the heroes have not expressed a strong desire to withdraw. Therefore, Li Fengyun immediately replied to Hao Xiaode, the middle army will overcome all difficulties and persist on the front line of Jumahe for a longer time to ensure the safe withdrawal of the right army into Changshan Pass. At the same time, Li Fengyun asked Hao Xiaode to maintain a threat to Xianyu, the capital of Boling County, and its surrounding towns, to further tense the situation in Yibei.

Li Fengyun briefly explained the necessity and importance of promoting tension in Yibei. Although the secrets hidden were not revealed, the alliance army has seized the initiative now, and the situation is temporarily beneficial to the alliance. Of course, we must do our best to strive for the maximum profit during this period.

On August 12th, at dusk, Wei Fusi suddenly appeared by the Yishui River, and was filled with dust and secretly met with Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong.

Both King Qi and Wei Fusi learned the secrets of the central government through private channels. Therefore, when King Qi received the order from the Holy Lord to go to Shanggu to quickly suppress the thieves, the main content of the central government decision on the night of the eighth day of the eighth month was also put on his desk.

Pei Shiju, the Huangmen Minister, suddenly changed his attitude towards the King of Qi, which surprised King of Qi and Wei Fusi, but also felt very confused. At the critical moment, Pei Shiju strongly recommended King of Qi to guard the border and took the initiative to ask for the white-haired thieves. The information contained therein was complicated. In order to avoid misreading and making misjudgments, Wei Fusi rushed to Shanggu to communicate with Li Fengyun and work together to seek countermeasures.

Wei Fusi's attitude towards Li Fengyun has undergone some subtle changes, which is due to the increasing impact of Li Fengyun on the development of the situation.

Now the alliance's three routes of the north attack plan has been successful. The shock to the Saint Lord and the Central Committee is far beyond the idea and expectations of the King of Qi. Li Fengyun obviously did too much. Once it backfired, it will not only help the King of Qi's troubles, but also directly endanger the life safety of the King of Qi. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee are furious and decide to use thunder to save hidden dangers, then the big thing will be gone. Unexpectedly, Pei Shiju took the initiative to help and turn the tide, which is enough to prove that the previous speculations about Li Fengyun and his hidden forces behind him are correct. Pei Shiju must be behind Li Fengyun.

From this, Pei Shiju and his political forces representing are playing a big game of chess, and the King of Qi is also one of the chess pieces. So the question is, what is Pei Shiju's ultimate goal?

Pei Shiju came from the Pei family in Hedong. He was the Dingzhu of the Guanlong noble group and an old minister of Gao Qi. He had close ties with the Shandong noble group, so winning the Civil War was definitely not his ultimate goal, but at most it was his major phased goal.

With this speculation, it is not difficult to find that the King of Qi still dominated the northern border and then seized the imperial regime. Of course, the premise is that King of Qi must have enough strength. Among this strength, Li Fengyun obviously occupies an important position, because behind him is not only the wealthy families in Shandong, but also the powerful powerful and powerful Pei Shiju. This is why Wei Fusi rushed over. Not only should he understand the purpose of Pei Shiju's sudden "support" King of Qi, but he also strengthened cooperation with Li Fengyun and grasped Li Fengyun's power firmly for his own use.

Wei Fusi made a clear statement and spoke out straightforwardly, telling the two Holy Lord's decrees received by King Qi on his way to Gaoyang, as well as the secrets and information from the palaces found through private channels, as well as the King of Qi's analysis and deduction of the future political development and the direction of the situation in the northern border. His words clearly revealed the sincerity of strengthening the sharing of three parties' information and cooperation between the three parties.

Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun were disdainful of the sincerity of cooperation expressed by Wei Fusi. The trust foundation of the three parties was too thin and the conflict of interests was too great. Even if they were sincere, it was temporary and was aimed at the immediate crisis. In particular, Wei Fusi's attitude changed a lot, which made people have to suspect that his intentions were sinister. However, the most urgent task is that King Qi went north, which is the common interests of the three parties. As long as the King of Qi successfully guarded the border, the three parties could seek greater benefits, otherwise everything would be a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water.

"Have the King of Qi entered the Shanggu territory?" Li Fengyun asked.

Wei Fusi shook his head, "The situation is unclear, and the King of Qi dared not enter rashly. He is slowly waiting for some news and then make a decision.">

"It's so good." Li Fengyun smiled, "The situation in Yibei is changing too fast, we need to adjust the established strategy."

"I wish to hear it carefully." Wei Fusi sighed, "I came one day and night, for this."

Li Fengyun looked up at Li Zixiong, his eyes showing a look of inquisitiveness.

Li Zixiong said slowly, "After arriving at Jumahe, he met Duan Da soon." He followed him and said the conditions for "cooperation" offered by Duan Da, "I guess Duan Da will have a third secret agreement soon, and then negotiate the conditions."

Wei Fusi's face was solemn. Duan Da was nominally driving a tiger and swallowing wolf, and using a knife to kill people. In fact, he used the destruction of Li Fengyun to curb and attack the King of Qi. It is not difficult to see that the future of the bickering between the forces in the northern border is very fierce, and the King of Qi's road to domination is extremely difficult.

"Will you evacuate Shanggu immediately?" Wei Fusi asked, "The King of Qi is here, the situation is unfavorable to you, Duan Da's conditions will become more and more harsh. What can you talk about?"

"The situation has changed. We must maintain the threat to Yibei and decide not to withdraw for the time being." Li Fengyun explained.

Wei Fusi was quite confused.

"Someone in Boling conspired to use the Unblocked Conference to attack the Holy Lord's Car and assassinate the Holy Lord."

Wei Fusi was shocked and changed his color. Once this matter came true, the wealthy families in northern Hebei would become the target of public criticism and were first hit. The Holy Lord and the Hebei people turned against each other and became enemies. The Guanlong people fought against the Shandong people. The situation in the northern border was in chaos, and internal and external troubles were intensified at the same time. The consequences can be imagined.

"The suggestion of Duke Jianchang and I was that we continued to threaten northern Hebei, while the King of Qi decisively entered Boling to suppress the thieves and cooperated with the wealthy families in northern Hebei to resolve this crisis. This would kill multiple goals and make great profits."

As soon as Li Fengyun said this, Wei Fusi understood it and immediately accepted it. Fortunately, he came early this trip, otherwise it would be difficult for King Qi to enter the Shanggu and move to Boling. King Qi could use this crisis to win the cooperation of the wealthy families in northern Hebei, and at the same time please the Holy Lord. More importantly, Boling is hundreds of miles away from Linshuo Palace, and the Holy Lord is beyond reach. In addition, it also has a proper distance from Duan Da's army to ensure his own safety. This gives King Qi greater room for maneuver. If he had no choice, King Qi could cross the Taihang Mountains and enter the northern border and quickly seize the opportunity.

"Yang Xuangan has been destroyed, the crisis in the Eastern Capital has been resolved. The Holy Lord must return to the capital immediately. You can still deal with it before the Holy Lord returns to the capital, but then the Guards' army surrounded from all directions. How do you deal with it?" Wei Fusi asked with concern, "If the Holy Lord is determined to wipe out you, then your situation will be very dangerous regardless of whether there is a third Eastern Expedition or not. The trapped flying fox will definitely not escape the disaster of destruction."

Li Fengyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In fact, we can no longer trap the flying fox."

Wei Fusi was surprised, "Why? The food is seriously insufficient?"

Li Zixiong shook his hand, "Yesterday, Huangmen Minister Pei Shiju passed by a giant horse and crossed the river to the west."

Wei Fusi was shocked. Sure enough, Pei Shiju had a backup plan, but he didn't know who the target was, and what kind of magic trick was there, "Would Mr. Wenxi be stuck?"

Faced with Wei Fusi's temptation, Li Fengyun unintentionally concealed it and told the truth, "Wen Xigong galloped away without being stranded, but Pei Xuanji had appeared secretly before."

Then Li Fengyun revealed the strategy of "entering and leaving the frontier" and made an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of this strategy.

From Pei Shiju's standpoint, while "squeezing out" the value of King Qi and Li Fengyun, the risks brought by them must be minimized. Therefore, he needs King Qi to guard the border and curb the expansion of King Qi's strength. The best way is to drive Li Fengyun out of the frontier. He needs Li Fengyun to burn, kill and loot outside the frontier to disrupt the situation outside the frontier, and at the same time use a knife to kill people, and use the power of the enemy outside the frontier to eliminate the hidden danger of Li Fengyun.

From the standpoint of King Qi and Li Fengyun, the "East and Out of the Frontier" strategy is not without advantages. Once successful, you will gain a foothold in Songmo, sweep across the two sides of the Ruoluo River, and firmly insert a mortise between the desert, the northeastern border and the Far East. Then the situation in the northern border, the relationship between the north and the south, and even the general trend of China and abroad will change, and China and Turkey will also gain a certain advantage in the Civil War. Next, if Sino-Turkish wins this war, the King of Qi and Li Fengyun echo each other inside and outside the Great Wall and cooperate closely. The King of Qi can not only dominate the northern border, but also be more likely to use the merit of expanding territory to seize the imperial regime.

Therefore, the "bad" thrown by Pei Shiju is indeed very attractive. The "bad" that draws cakes to satisfy your hunger is drawn too well. As long as a miracle occurs, the fake ones can become real. What is particularly heart-pounding is that Li Fengyun has some "bargaining chips" in his hand. These "bargaining chips" have the possibility of creating miracles, but it lacks the most critical condition, that is, food and grass weapons, and enough food and grass weapons.

Wei Fusi fell into deep thought.

This is Pei Shiju's ultimate goal? Regain the former land of Anzhou, conquer the enemy in the Far East, win the Civil War, and finally seal the wolf Juxu, and build a world-class martial arts.

If this goal is achieved, the King of Qi will be successful and his strength will expand accordingly. Dominating the northern border will be easy, and the chances of seizing the imperial throne will be greatly increased.

"Dangyang Gong, what's the plan?" Li Fengyun interrupted Wei Fusi's contemplation and took the initiative to ask him about his views on the strategy of advancing eastward.

"There is a life of death and the chances are bleak." Wei Fusi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't agree with you going east and going out of the frontier. This plan not only kills you, but also puts the King of Qi in trouble, and there is almost no choice."
