Duan Da quickly realized that Li Zixiong was misleading himself and provoking discord in order to firmly grasp the initiative in negotiations.

In fact, after Duan Da first had a close conversation with Li Zixiong, he knew that his opponents were Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, Lai Yuan, Yang Gongdao, Yu Rou and other large groups of senior powerful people, he realized that he could not control the development of the situation. The previous plan to use a knife to kill people was also wishful thinking, and his promise to the Holy Lord was even more unfulfilled. He could not play this "game" at all, so he was very decisive and threw the "hot potato" to Feng Deyi without hesitation. With the help of Feng Deyi's power, he "dragged the Holy Lord and the Central Government into the water, and the Holy Lord and the Central Government played this "game" to bear the greatest responsibility, and he became a simple executor and took a small part of the responsibility. In this way, even if the "game" was broken and the play had serious consequences, he would not only be ruined and his head fell to the ground.

Duan Da successfully used Feng Deyi, and Feng Deyi "pulled Pei Shiju into the water". Pei Shiju had to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility from the overall situation, while the Holy Lord and the Central Master were happy to see it, and acquiesced to Pei Shiju to secretly manipulate it. If the result is good, the credit will be everyone's. On the contrary, if the result goes against the original intention, the responsibility will be Pei Shiju, and he will be the "scapegoat" for the Holy Lord and the Central Master.

Duan Da quickly stabilized his emotions and was fully alert to Li Zixiong, so as not to slack off at all, so as not to be swayed by him during the negotiations and take the initiative to bargain.

"I am a subordinate of Zhuo County, and the conditions proposed by me are the decision of the remaining government of Zhuo County." Duan Da responded solemnly, "Is I arrogant, ignorant, and have lost control of the situation? It has nothing to do with the decision of the remaining government. Now I just want to know whether you agree to the conditions proposed by me or not."

Li Zixiong knew that Duan Da was very clear and clearly saw the current situation. He was accurate and clear about his own "positioning" and could not fool him at all. So he shook his hand and said, "The commander of this team is not me, but white-haired Li Fengyun." The implication is that I don't keep my word, I can only pass on your conditions to Li Fengyun, which will be decided by Li Fengyun.

Duan Da sneered and sneered. Li Zixiong's words were not wrong in themselves, but the meaning they wanted to express was wrong. Duan Da seemed to have no sincerity. The white-haired thief was indeed the leader of this team, but the power represented by Li Zixiong was even stronger. Even if Li Zixiong could not really surpass the white-haired thief, there was no problem with the party. Now Li Zixiong actually said that the white-haired thief had the final say, and he was just talking nonsense. He clearly did not want to negotiate substantively with Duan Da.

"The white-haired thief still wants to bargain? Is he qualified to bargain?" Duan Da couldn't help but retort.

Li Zixiong smiled, "You and I can stand here and talk now, which proves that he has the capital to bargain."

Duan Da's expression was a little stagnant, and a hint of shame flashed through his eyes. Li Zixiong did not make any mockery, which was considered to have given him face. Indeed, if the white-haired thief had no strength and no bargaining capital, Duan Da would compromise, take the initiative to negotiate, and even wanted to use the white-haired thief to kill people with a knife?

"There is no point in arguing about these things." Li Zixiong shook his hand and said, "You and I can stand here now, which means that we have a long-term vision. We take into account the overall situation and pursue long-term interests. Some small profits in front of us cannot confuse us, nor can we lure us astray. Our goal is to open up the territory, expand our territory, be a worldly martial arts, keep famous in history, and be remembered forever. For this reason, we must put aside contradictions, give up disputes, and work together to seek the future."

Duan Da nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing. He was very wise, adaptable, and pragmatic, and immediately suppressed the anger that surged in his heart.

As for the current trend of China and foreign countries, the relationship between the north and the south, and the situation in northern Xinjiang, the political game is too fierce. Not only are there "fighting" between various forces in China, but also "competition" between the Turks of China and the east and west. Therefore, this is a big chess game. There are very few people qualified to sit in the position of chess players, and they are all the highest power levels of the Han and the Han barbarians. The rest are all chess pieces on the chessboard. The King of Qi is a chess piece, and the white-haired thief, Li Zixiong and this rebel army are also chess pieces. He is the same chess piece as the left-behind mansion of Zhuo County. If you want to survive in this cruel big chess game, you can only cooperate. If you combine, you will benefit from both the two and the two will be injured. Otherwise, you will not only be your own interests, but also the interests of China.

"What are his conditions?" Duan Da asked calmly.

Li Zixiong glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly, "You and I are all chess pieces. No matter what conditions you have or what ideas he has, there is no such thing as in the chess game of the chess player."

Duan Da understood it and showed a trace of gloom in his eyes. If he could not control the situation, he could take one step at a time, take action step by step, and take steady steps, but if he could not control his own destiny, it would be too helpless, just like a rootless float, which could be destroyed under the waves at any time.

"For you and me, the most urgent task is not to look forward to the future, but to focus on the present." Li Zixiong offered, "You and I urgently need trust. Only with trust can there be cooperation, and only with cooperation can each gain their own benefits."

Duan Da was expressionless and silent, but felt very ashamed and furious inside.

Li Zixiong said "high-end" and empty, but in fact he was politely refusing. It was not rejecting the cooperation conditions proposed by Duan Da, but refusing to engage in substantive negotiations with Duan Da. This is equivalent to telling Duan Da that you are not qualified to negotiate with me.

Obviously, Li Zixiong was waiting for news from the palace. He put his position very high and tried to directly establish contact with the center so that he could cooperate with the military and political circles in the northern border and gain a certain initiative and advantage, rather than just cooperating with the left-behind office of Zhuo County. Li Zixiong was a meritorious veteran. Even though he betrayed the Holy Lord now, he still had such strength and qualifications. Duan Da's weight was far from enough and could only be in a passive and disadvantageous position.

Duan Da had no intention of compromise, did not want to give in, and was even more reluctant to accept Li Zixiong's bullying.

You are a meritorious veteran and you have the capital to be arrogant, but you are rebellious now. The Holy Lord and the Central Government will never compromise with one rebellion. This is the principle. This is related to the dignity and authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Government. Therefore, you take yourself too high and take yourself too seriously.

In fact, from the decree of the Holy Lord, Feng Deyi resolutely did not have any intersection with Li Zixiong, the former "comrade-in-arms", and before leaving, Feng Deyi repeatedly warned Duan Da not to focus his energy on Li Zixiong, which shows that Li Zixiong has been "abandoned". However, Duan Da never faced Li Zixiong's identity as a rebel and always put him in a very high position. As a result, he made a wrong conclusion and made a wrong negotiation with a wrong person. Of course, there would be no result, and he would even humiliate himself.

"I came with sincerity, but you abandoned it like a waste." Duan Da decided to severely attack Li Zixiong's arrogance. "After the Holy Lord ordered the King of Qi to relieve Gaoyang's danger, he rushed to Shanggu to suppress the thieves, so Duke Jing (Feng Deyi) no longer had to go to Gaoyang again. Duke Jing is now responsible for supervising the army in Shanggu to suppress the thieves."

Li Zixiong frowned slightly. Duan Da was forced by him and revealed important secrets again. The King of Qi went to Shanggu to suppress the thieves, which was close to the northern border. As long as he followed Li Fengyun, he could enter Yanbei with high sound and irreproachableness. It is not difficult to see that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee already had the intention to let the King of Qi go north to guard the border. He was just worried that "stimulating" the Northern Barbarians would take a certain amount of time to make a buffer, so he did not make an open decision.

Things went too smoothly, and if things were abnormal, they would be a monster. After all, the negative impact of King Qi going north to guard the border was still too great. Even if the Holy Lord and the Central Master had this intention, they should look for a right opportunity. Before the conditions for the third Eastern Expedition were met, that is, now and in the next few months, it was obviously not the right time. Therefore, the Holy Lord and the Central Master would never be so impulsive and casual. What must have happened behind this, forcing the Holy Lord and the Central Master to make compromises.

As for putting Feng Deyi in Shanggu to supervise the army and suppress the thieves, all kinds of purposes are also considered a test for him by the Holy Lord. One of the most important tests is whether Feng Deyi will have a secret contact with Li Zixiong and whether there is a potential hidden danger of betraying the Holy Lord. Duan Da suddenly mentioned Feng Deyi's new responsibilities, and he vaguely had the intention of testing Li Zixiong to see if Li Zixiong had the idea of ​​establishing a connection with the center through Feng Deyi. If Li Zixiong really had this idea, he could give up now, because Feng Deyi would not dare to risk the danger of death and death in contact with Li Zixiong no matter what.

"The Holy Lord ordered that a certain person be responsible for suppressing the thieves and allowed a certain person to act cheaply."

Duan Da repeated the same words again, the implication is that you should stop illusions of unrealistic fantasies. The Holy Lord and the Central Master will not pay attention to you, and I am the only person you can negotiate.

Duan Da's "little tricks" were too naive in Li Zixiong's eyes and he was disdainful, but Duan Da's repeated sentence suddenly made him think of a possibility. If Feng Deyi saw through Li Fengyun's true identity and used this to threaten Pei Shiju and deliberately "dragged" Pei Shiju, what should Pei Shiju do?

Pei Shiju had to launch a counterattack, taking advantage of Li Fengyun's secret before it was revealed, and he seized the initiative and ensured that he was invincible politically. So he would take the initiative to offer advice and actively support the King of Qi to guard the border. If he wanted to force the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to agree to the King of Qi to guard the border, Pei Shiju had to support the Holy Lord to launch the third eastern expedition. So Li Fengyun must be controlled by him and used by him to ensure that the situation in the northern border and even the direction of the north-south relationship is always under his control.

Let's think further, if Li Fengyun was a chess piece in Pei Shiju's grand layout, then Pei Shiju now has to use this piece so that the piece not only enters the sight of the Holy Lord and the Central, but also is used by the Holy Lord and the Central, becoming a sharp knife in the hands of the Holy Lord and the Central, and an invincible weapon that can play a decisive role at critical moments.

Li Zixiong suddenly understood that Pei Shiju was indeed a genius. If we talk about strategy, who can compete with him today?

Pei Shiju is coming, and will be coming soon, and the truth will be revealed soon.
