Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters feel heavy pressure

"The situation is complicated, very complicated." Cui Hongsheng sighed and said, "Although Anzhou had compromised and wanted to give in before leaving Gubeikou, the situation at home and abroad changed too quickly and the interests of all parties were complicated. In fact, whether the Feihu rebels left the customs and when they came out of seclusion can no longer depend on Anzhou's attitude, but on the changes in the future situation."

Cui Yu, Cui Jiu, and Cui Xiaoren looked at each other and realized that the situation was serious, far exceeding expectations.

"Sir, the situation in Anzhou is not good?" Cui Yu asked, "Are the Turkish reinforcements arrived and they were about to counterattack again?"

Cui Hongsheng shook his hand and sighed, "The ambition of white hair is too great. To put it nicely, it is called moving forward and striving for death. To put it badly, it is arrogance and seeking death."

"Why do you say this?" Cui Yu asked in surprise.

Cui Hongsheng did not hide it and directly revealed the secrets of the central government. "After white hair defeated the Turks, he kept working hard, and killed the weak Luoshui. He wanted to take advantage of the favorable opportunity that the Turks could not threaten Anzhou for the time being, concentrate their efforts to defeat the Donghu people and take over the entire northeast."

Cui Jiu and Cui Xiaoren were shocked, while Cui Yu laughed, "This is his style of doing things. He fought with all his might, and then died. Winning is a miracle, losing is a death, and he has nothing to care about losing at all."

Cui Hongsheng shook his head disapprovingly and continued, "There are two results in the northern expedition of Anzhou. If you win, your strength will increase greatly and the separatist momentum will be established. The asking price will inevitably increase accordingly, and the negotiation will be more difficult; on the contrary, if you return without success or lose, the conditions in the Great Wall will be harsh and the negotiations will become more and more difficult."

Cui Hongsheng pointed to the edict on the case, "Now the Holy Lord has taken this move, which seems to have given Anzhou a safe retreat, but in fact it has greatly increased the variables. The most critical question among them is, is the white-haired thief a knife? If the white-haired thief is a knife, the official and the thief are the same, there is a lot of room for maneuver. The Andong Duwei Mansion can exert its own power to the limit. On the one hand, the martial arts of expanding territory are presented to the Holy Lord and the center, and on the other hand, relying on this contribution, all the rebellious rebellious thieves in Anzhou and the Donghu.

All the problems of surrendering are solved; on the contrary, if the white-haired thief is not a knife, the Anton Duwei Mansion and Anzhou are in an opposition relationship, and the two sides have no trust, then even if Anzhou is willing to return to Central China, the high price is unimaginable. If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee rebel to rebel for the sake of martial arts, and the Hulu compromise and bow their heads, not only will the value of martial arts be greatly reduced, but the authoritarian authority will also be hit again. Therefore, it is not difficult to foresee that the possibility of the two sides reaching an agreement is very small, and the possibility of Anzhou becoming independent or even forming an alliance with the Turks will greatly increase."

Whether the white-haired thief is a knife or not, whether the Saint Lord and the Central Master have no final say, Cui Hongsheng and Pei Shiju and other insiders do not, but the White-haired thief has the final say. If he says he is a knife, he will first have to assume the obligation of the Andong Duwei Mansion, which is to present the martial arts of expanding territory to the Saint Lord and the Central Master, and then he can enjoy the power of the Andong Duwei Mansion, that is, to recruit rebels and Donghu people in Anzhou, but this power is obviously limited. For example, Li Zixiong can pardon but cannot return to Dongdu, such as Ah Hui can be granted a small official but cannot be granted the title of King Xi.

Once you enter the officialdom, you must follow the rules of the officialdom and strictly abide by the law. No one can do whatever you want. Therefore, the Anton Duwei Mansion is actually a trap, a cage. The white-haired thief admits that he is a knife, which is equivalent to falling into a trap, locking himself in a cage, and slaughtering him.

Of course, this is still the case when the Holy Lord and the Central Master keep their promises. Once the martial arts are obtained and the Northeast is in the bag, they will immediately go back on their word, even killing donkeys, rabbits, and killing dogs. The white-haired thief will work hard for the Holy Lord and the Central Master, and they will make wedding dresses for the Holy Lord and the Central Master, and they will be so angry that they can't find a place.

Therefore, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee publicly said that the white-haired thief is not a knife, which is tempting to be deceived. Even if the white-haired thief is a knife, he cannot admit that it is impossible to jump into the trap. The two sides are very fierce in their journey. This is a variable, many uncertain variables, and this series of variables will inevitably increase the difficulty of the Flying Fox Rebels coming out of seclusion.

In addition, the King of Qi was "eyed" against the Feihu Rebels. Once they successfully recruited and pacified them during the encirclement and suppression process, they not only won military achievements, but also increased their strength, and they could even take this opportunity to seize control of Yanbei. There were also different opinions within the Feihu Rebels, some insisted, some defected to the King of Qi, some came out of the jurisdiction, and even some went south to Yongji Canal, which was a mess.

All of these are obstacles to the Feihu Rebels' exit from the customs, and if they want to overcome these obstacles, it is still too difficult to rely solely on the power of the wealthy families in Cui Hongsheng, Cui family, and even the northern Hebei and Youyan.

The four of the Cui family were worried and could not help.

"I wonder what choice will Bai Hai make when this edict is passed to Anzhou?" Cui Xiaoren said suddenly.

"This depends on the changes in the situation in Anzhou. Even if he has gray hair, he will not make decisions easily before the situation in Anzhou is clear." Cui Jiu said calmly.

"If he wins, what will happen in Anzhou get better and better?" Cui Xiaoren asked again.

"There is no way to guess." Cui Jiu said without thinking, "We watched the white hair step by step to this day. Although every step he took was like walking on thin ice like an abyss, he was the winner in the end. We were surprised and surprised. If you and I did the same thing, it would probably have been defeated long ago. It would be better to be trapped in a corner, while the white hair had already penetrated the dragon and rose into the abyss, with its scales flying. It is very people who can't do it, but we can't do it, which doesn't mean he can't do it. So even if the white hair jumped into this trap, it doesn't mean he can't do it. "

Cui Xiaoren was thinking and silent.

"Is there any new news on Feihu?" Cui Hongsheng asked.

"There is someone coming from Feihu, and it's just arrived." Cui Jiu replied, "I have arranged to enter the city. If Mr. Ming is anxious, I will go and inquire now."

"Are someone here?"

Cui Hongsheng was a little surprised, and Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren were also surprised. Although they had contact, they both had secret letters to avoid accidents. Unless there was a forced situation, it was impossible to risk meeting.

Cui Jiu hurriedly explained, "This matter is related to Song Jingang, and Song Jingang was entrusted by Li Sixing, so he was inconvenient to refuse. He sent a close friend to contact him and planned to report it after understanding the situation."

Cui Hongsheng waved his hand, "Go and return quickly, report quickly."

Cui Jiu left in a hurry. Cui Hongsheng continued to learn about some related situations from Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren. After about half an hour, Cui Jiuxing hurried back, "Ming Gong, an important person has come."

An important figure? Cui Hongsheng was surprised, which indicates that something big happened to Feihu.

Cui Jiu lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Ming Gong, the person who came was the son of Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong), and the former prefect of Lu County Li Min."

Sure enough, something big happened. Cui Yu was anxious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"He is going to Anzhou." Cui Jiu said, "It's nearly a thousand miles away to Anzhou, but Song Jingang is not strong enough to ensure his safety along the way. In desperation, he had to reveal his identity and ask me Cui for help."

"Why did he go to Anzhou?" Cui Yu asked, "Is something wrong with Feihu?"

"There is good news." Cui Jiu bowed slightly at Cui Hongsheng and smiled, "According to what he said, Feihu has reached an agreement on leaving the customs. Now he is representing Feihu to Anzhou and persuade Anzhou to agree to their coming out of the customs."

"This is serious?" Cui Hongsheng was overjoyed, and Cui Yu and Cui Xiaoren were also very surprised.

"The reason why he exposed his identity and sought our help was because of this reliance." Cui Jiu said, "If he had no such reliance and was not sure to convince us to help him, he would never dare to expose his identity."

Cui Hongsheng stroked his long beard with his hand, thought for a moment, agreed with Cui Jiu's analysis, his smile became even more intense, and a little excitement surged in his heart, as if he was a heavy burden, as if he had become a little lighter.

"This matter is important and you must not slack off. You can go there yourself to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Speaking of this, Cui Hongsheng hesitated for a moment and added, "This time, you also leave the customs and go to Anzhou in person. Be sure to see the white hair, and be sure to convince him to withdraw the Feihu rebels into Anzhou."

This is the attitude of the Boling Cui family, and it also represents the position of the wealthy families in northern Ji and Youyan. At the critical moment, for their own interests, they had to put pressure on Li Fengyun to force Li Fengyun to compromise. Otherwise, both sides would be injured and would be of no benefit to both sides, and the benefits they had gained in the early stage would be completely lost.

"Sir, I have to go too." Cui Yu suddenly said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if the white hair is extraordinary. Once both sides rebel, the consequences will be serious. If my son goes to Anzhou in person, even if the white hair is reluctant, he will have to make a compromise that is beneficial to us."

Cui Hongsheng had to veto it without thinking, but Cui Yu's last words made him hesitate. Whether the Feihu rebels can leave the customs depends on the situation change, not on the attitude of the white hair. If the Baihai failed to fight against the north, the southeastern Yaqi and Songmo Yaqi attacked Anzhou in two directions, tens of thousands of control strings whistled down. The white hair is very likely to be unable to resist it and the defeat is like a mountain. At that time, let alone the Feihu rebels have come out of the customs, even Baihai will be unable to protect it. Therefore, Cui Yu's words are crucial. Taking advantage of the situation that has not deteriorated to the point where it is uncontrollable, if Baihai can be persuaded to make a decision that is beneficial to the common interests of both sides, Anzhou will be able to defend it. Only when Anzhou is defended can the Feihu rebels come out of the customs. This is the most basic condition.

Cui Hongsheng shook his hand and rejected it. The Twelve Lady of the Cui family has a prominent status and a big goal. It was already very silly when I went to Gubeikou last time. Although I was hiding my head and revealing my tail, there were many people with ulterior motives. The Cui family had too many political enemies and might be peaceful in normal times. However, at a critical moment, if you want to take advantage of the situation, the "bad deeds" of the Twelve Lady of the Cui family is the best target of attack.

Cui Yu saw that Cui Hongsheng did not scold him in a stern manner, but shook his hand quietly, and immediately smiled sly, making a decision.

Cui Hongsheng gave some details of Cui Jiu, and finally pointed to the edict on the case table, "When you arrive in Anzhou, the Andong Duwei Mansion has been established, and the relevant contents of this edict have also been spread to Anzhou. For most people in Anzhou, the establishment of the Andong Duwei Mansion is a clearly visible opportunity to return to Middle-earth. They even look forward to the appearance of Andong Duwei Li Pingyuan, but for those who know the truth, this means a crisis. The internal conflicts in Anzhou may become fierce, and Anzhou is in danger of division and defeat."

"The positions of Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Yang Gongdao, Lai Yuan and others are clear at a glance. They must take this opportunity to return to Middle Earth. Under their agitation and instigation, many of the white-haired grass-roots subordinates will be eager to return to Middle Earth. Even the Donghu people such as Xi Lu are eager to enter Middle Earth. Therefore, the return is the general trend, the direction of interests, and the reality. Only by winning the strong support from the Great Wall can Anzhou gain a foothold in Anzhou, consolidate the existing results, and stop the fierce counterattack of the Turks after the beginning of next spring."

"If White Hair goes against the trend, even if Anzhou will not immediately fall into division, it will be difficult to stop the sow discord from the Great Wall. Internal conflicts will become increasingly serious. Even if the Great Wall continues to support food and supplies, White Hair cannot guarantee that he will defeat the Turks in the spring. Once the war is defeated, all his previous efforts will be wasted, which is another situation he cannot accept. Therefore, according to some reason, no matter what the real thought of White Hair is, he has to surrender to the general trend and return to Middle-earth due to the crisis. It is just a matter of time."

"However, gray hair cannot jump into the trap and put himself in a cage. He must take the initiative and take the initiative, let himself stand outside the trap, stay away from the cage, firmly control the initiative, use Anzhou to bargain, use Andong Duwei Mansion to make the best interests, and allow himself to continue to grow and grow. The stronger Anzhou, the more he can blackmail from Middle-earth, which is in the interests of everyone in Anzhou, and of course everyone is happy to see it."

"So what is the countermeasure to gray hair? When will we return to Middle Earth?"

"This is the key." Cui Hongsheng said, "I asked you to see gray hair, and this is the reason. The later the return of Anzhou, the later the Feihu Rebels will leave the customs. This is very unfavorable to us. If you can infer his countermeasures from the words of white hair and guess his approximate return time, you can carry out targeted persuasion. In this way, even if he only made a promise at the end of the year, the time when the Feihu Rebels came out of the customs was delayed until the beginning of spring, it would still give me a certain amount of room for maneuver so that I would not be unable to move or suffer a heavy blow."

Cui Jiu responded repeatedly and felt heavy pressure.
