Both the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong saw this clearly and dared not have any fantasies. Because of this, the two have the same ideas and work closely together, and they both focus on the war between the North and South. Anzhou and even the Northeast have great interests, but the acquisition of this interest cannot be separated from the support within the Great Wall. Therefore, if the alliance wants to use this interest to blackmail Middle-earth, the income is very limited, not cost-effective, short-sighted, which seriously endangers its own survival and development.

For the alliance, the most urgent task is to survive and develop, relying on the support within the Great Wall to grow rapidly, and the countermeasures are to attack, attack, and then attack, and use the benefits of the Northeast to lure Middle Earth, so that Middle Earth can see the plump prey right in front of us, salivating, and thus provide continuous support to Anzhou.

This is actually a mutually beneficial exchange. During this exchange, the alliance exchanged fruitful results for full support within the Great Wall to solve its own survival and development problems. Sino-Turkey used food and grass weapons to exchange for fruitful results in Anzhou, and then quickly alleviated and improved the current passive situation of "internal and external difficulties". Both sides took their needs and each took their own profits, and they were all happy.

From the perspective of Middle Earth, since the rebellious force of white-haired thief and Li Zixiong proved their value with practical actions, don't waste it, squeeze it dry and eat it all, and swallow it in one bite. From the perspective of the Alliance, the war between North and South is the turning point of fate. The Alliance must fight side by side with Middle Earth and defeat the Turks and make achievements. In this way, if you have territory, strength and merit, you will have the capital to bargain with Middle Earth and maximize your interests. Otherwise, the result of ants and elephants can be imagined.

Of course, the risk of "gambling" of the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong's death is too great, and it will last forever, but the weak have no choice. Only by fighting with the boat and fighting back can there be a glimmer of hope and the weak can defeat the strong. Fortunately, they "bet" right. The Holy Lord, the Central Committee and the military have seen the opportunities they created, and are willing to "bet" and even actively support them to openly intervene in the Northeast battlefield to help them defeat their opponents and achieve their expected goals.

It is precisely because of this that raising a tiger has become a problem that must be solved. It is necessary to prevent problems before they happen, and effective countermeasures must be taken to kill this hidden danger.

The Holy Lord, the Central and the Military have the same attitude on this issue. Now Zhongtu needs to maintain a relatively stable north-south Guanlu, so it cannot use political interests to publicly recruit Anzhou, it cannot meet Anzhou's interest demands, and it cannot lock Anzhou in a "cage". In order to ensure the achievement of the expected goals and ensure that huge investment will not be wasted, Zhongtu must do its best to support Anzhou and help Anzhou grow rapidly, so raising tigers is an inevitable result.

what to do?

Duan Da, the remaining subordinate of Zhuo County, had already considered this issue. Although he clearly expressed his support for Anzhou's northern expedition to the weak Luoshui River in his urgent report, it was difficult to achieve this arduous goal because Anzhou was weak and it was difficult to achieve this arduous goal. The existence of the Feihu Rebels was a clearly visible hidden danger to Youyan, Hebei, and Dai Jin. He once again requested the Holy Lord to force the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong to immediately withdraw the Feihu Rebels to Anzhou on the condition of cutting off support. This could not only increase the strength of Anzhou, but also eliminate the disasters in the Great Wall, killing two birds with one stone.

Duan Da had threatened the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong for the same reason, but was stopped by the Holy Lord in time. The Holy Lord said that supporting Anzhou and Feihu suppressed the rebellion was two different things, and asked Duan Da not to interfere in supporting Anzhou. As a result, the Holy Lord was right. With the support of the Great Wall, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong miraculously defeated the Xi army in a short time and completely recovered Anzhou. Now Anzhou is not stopping and is going to fight against the north of Wuluo River, but Anzhou currently has no strength to fight against the north of Wuluo River. Therefore, Duan Da believed that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong might have to cut or even cut off support in order to curb their growth, so he threatened Anzhou to lose money and forced the Great Wall to increase support, thus exposing the ambitions of the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong.

Based on this, Duan Da determined that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong were evil wolves that were not fed at both ends. Even if Zhongtu wanted to use them, he should take precautions to avoid raising tigers. He would lose the big ones because of small losses and regret. The existence of the Feihu rebels was a nightmare. Once Anzhou and Feihu were in harmony with each other and attacked inside and outside, there would be a great chaos in Youyan and the Great Wall would be in danger of falling, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, the Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin was appointed as the emperor by occupying Wujun. Zhu Xie, Guan Chong, and Li Saner responded to the thieves and commanders such as Danzi and responded to the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. The situation in the north and south of the rivers did not improve due to the departure of a large number of thieves such as the white-haired thieves, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Wang Bo, and Guo Fangyu, as well as the destruction of the thieves and commanders such as Yingchuan and Han Xiangguo, but instead became even more serious. Among them, the Qinghe thief Zhang Jin said that his strength had increased greatly because of the looting of Li Yangcang, and he attacked cities and villages everywhere, and his arrogance was arrogant. Others such as Gao Shida and Dou Jiande,

Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao and other Hebei bandits were also active on both sides of Yongji Canal and became increasingly rampant. At the same time, on the south bank of the Great River, Zhai Rang of Wagang, Meng Haigong of Zhouqiao, Meng Rang of Qijun, Zuo Xiaoyou of Donglai, Zhu Alu Mingyue, Wu Hailiu of Pengcheng, Peng Xiaocai and other bandit commanders also burned, killed, and plundered all kinds of bandit commanders. Between the Jianghuai River, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, Li Zitong and other bandit commanders also roared up. Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou brothers even defeated the guard army that went to encircle and suppress them, and killed the captain Song Hao, which shocked Jiangdu for a while.

In short, the domestic situation is getting worse and worse. The two capitals have not yet stopped due to the aftermath of the Yang Xuangan mutiny. The political liquidation is in full swing. The rivers and the rivers are in chaos because of rebels, and they are in danger afterwards. The western and northern borders are in trouble because of the Turkic people's comeback and the northern borders are in trouble. In this tense situation, the existence of the Feihu rebels is like a thorn, stabbing the heart of the northern border. It not only makes Duan Da, the remaining subordinate of Zhuo County, unable to sleep at night, but also actively promotes the Holy Lord and the Reformers.

The third Eastern Expedition laid a disaster, so one time and another. Anzhou was not recovered a few days ago. The white-haired thief and Li Zixiong had to face the counterattack of the Xi army. The situation could be overturned at any time. The Holy Lord had reason to stop Duan Da from taking a one-shot plan, but now Anzhou has been recovered, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong had to fight the north without stopping to fight the Ruoluo River. The third Eastern Expedition was officially put on the agenda, and the problem of the Feihu Rebels must be solved. Duan Da's one-shot plan was right at the right time and came in handy.

The reason why the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong refused to withdraw the Feihu rebels into Anzhou was that the overall situation in Anzhou was not yet determined, and more than 100,000 Feihu people rushed into Anzhou would only worsen the situation in Anzhou. This reason no longer exists. The white-haired thief and Li Zixiong have already gained a foothold in Anzhou and have actually formed an internal and external attack on the Great Wall with the Feihu rebels. Then Zhongtu will ask, what do you mean? You obviously have ulterior motives. How can I trust you? How can I continue to support you?

Assistance, raising tigers is a disaster? You take a step back. You retreated the Flying Fox Rebels into Anzhou. I will publicly intervene in the Northeast battlefield in the name of suppressing thieves in Liaodong. I will cooperate with you to sweep across the two sides of the Ruoluo River to ensure that you take down the Northeast in the shortest time. Then your strength will soar. Although it is still very difficult to fight against the attacks of the Turks alone, I will provide you with a solid backing on the front line of Ruoluo River. In addition, the support within the Great Wall is enough to ensure that you maintain the results of the early stage. In this way, mutual benefit will be mutually beneficial and there will be no loss.

Of course, you can also refuse and threaten me with the interests of the Northeast. For the interests of the Northeast, I will indeed compromise and continue to give you support, but you must consider what if you fail? I will send troops to the Northeast battlefield to kill you, not kill the Donghu people, or even turn against the Turks, so I can only help you to restrain some of the enemies and reduce your pressure on the front battlefield. Whether you can win this battle depends on yourself. If you lose, next you will have to face the full counterattack of the Turks and the Donghu people, and your crisis will be serious, and there will be danger of being wiped out. But I did not achieve the expected goal, and my support for you will certainly drop sharply, and the result will be self-evident.

If you fail outside the Great Wall, the momentum of you and Feihu attacking the Great Wall inside and outside will no longer exist. The Feihu Rebels can still survive alone? Therefore, the prerequisite for the survival of the Feihu Rebels is that you survive and develop outside the Great Wall, and your survival and development outside the Great Wall depends entirely on my support. As long as I stop your support, you will be finished, and Feihu Rebels will be finished. In this case, why do you still insist on your own opinion and insist on being an enemy of me? Why do you firmly believe that you are smooth sailing on the battlefield outside the Great Wall and those who stand invincible? My support for you is based on the assessment of your strength. If I believe that you do not have the strength to win the victory of the Northern Expedition of the Ruoluo Shui, why do I still support you? Anzhou lost again. Although my interests were damaged, for you, it was wiped out and the bones were not there. Which of the two has the greatest losses to the interests of the two is obvious.

Therefore, the premise of my support for your northern expedition of the Ruoluo River is that your strength must reach a certain scale. Only in this way can you win, resist the counterattack of the Turks after winning, and defend all the results. Otherwise, the results will be lost again, and all my investment will be wasted. The loss for me is too great. For this reason, you must withdraw all the Flying Fox Rebels into Anzhou so that you can increase your strength to the point where I recognize it in the shortest time.

The Holy Lord issued an edict, ordering Zhao Shizhu, Guo Xuan and Murong Zheng to negotiate with Anzhou immediately to support the plan to fight against the weak Luoshui in the north. In order to increase the chance of victory, the Liaodong Town Garage Army will openly intervene in the Northeast battlefield and provide tacit cooperation. There is only one condition. All the Feihu Rebels will be withdrawn to Anzhou by the end of the year. The purpose of putting forward this condition is also kind-hearted, and it is to quickly strengthen the strength of Anzhou to preserve the results of the Northeast.

After the Northeast decision was formed, the Holy Lord, the Central Committee and the military discussed the plan for the Eastern Expedition again. At this time, the psychology of the entire decision-making level quietly changed, and everyone felt this change, which was the expectation for the Northeast decision-making.

If the Northeast decision was successful, Zhongtu took over the entire Northeast with the help of Anzhou, forming a substantial threat to the desert flanks, changing the confrontation between the north and the south, greatly increasing the chances of Middle-earth victory in the Civil War, Zhongtu and the center won martial arts, increased their authority greatly, and the military also saved their face and morale greatly boosted. Then, is it necessary to carry out the Eastern Expedition?

Obviously, the value and significance of continuing the Eastern Expedition are no longer great. If you have to fight, it means washing away the previous shame and avenge the tens of thousands of soldiers who were killed in Sashui. That's all.

Therefore, when discussing again, the Holy Lord and the Reformers' position of adhering to the Eastern Expedition was shaken, and the Conservatives no longer strongly opposed it. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and exaggerated the beneficial impact of the successful decision-making of the Northeast on the domestic and international situation, trying to attract the attention of the Holy Lord, the Reformers and the Military to the Northeast battlefield again, so as to work together, increase investment, and ensure the success of the Northeast decision. As long as the Northeast decision is successful, even if the Holy Lord, the Reformers and the Military still insist on launching the Third Eastern Expedition alone, the scale and expenses can be controlled to the minimum range. With diplomatic means, the dying Goguryeo will definitely surrender, so that the Eastern Expedition can be completely ended at the minimum cost and will not cause huge harm to Middle-earth again. This can barely compromise with the Holy Lord and the Reformers within the scope of acceptance of the conservatives.

The intentional guidance of the conservatives played a role. The deeper the discussion on the Eastern Expedition, the more intense the debate was. The Holy Lord, the reformists and the military attached more importance to the decision-making in the Northeast, and felt that this decision could only be successful but not failed.

The Holy Lord and the Central Master considered it again and issued an edict again, ordering the General of the Left Wu Guard, Cui Hongsheng, the prefect of Shanggu County, to immediately rush to Gubeikou to raise the level of negotiations with Anzhou, ensure that Anzhou accepts the conditions, and withdraw the Feihu Rebels into Anzhou to improve their strength.

The imperial edict ordered the left guard general Xue Shixiong to rush back to Liaodong immediately and lead his army to attack Fuyu City. Then, on the excuse that the Khitans helped Goguryeo fight against Zhongtu, declared war on the Khitan, sent troops to the northeast, directly killed the Ruoluo River, and cooperated with the northern expedition of Donghu in Anzhou.

He also ordered the King of Qi who was patrolling the border Huaihuang and Yin Shishi, the Yin Shi, the commander of Yanbei, to immediately lead his troops out of the frontier to create a tense atmosphere in the Lightning River to restrain the Turkic army in the southeast of the Ji and gain enough time for the northern expedition of Anzhou.

He also ordered Duan Da, the remaining subordinate of Zhuo County, to increase support for Anzhou, recruit more civilians, and to transport food, grass, weapons and other war materials to Anzhou day and night.

He also ordered Feng Xiaoci, the General of the Right Guard who was suppressing the bandits on the north bank of the Great River to shift the focus of the bandits to Anyang, Handan and Zhaojun lines to ensure the safety of land transportation when the frozen water transportation of the Yongji Canal was temporarily interrupted.
