Chapter 366: Righteousness at the moment

The Luxury Commander of Changbai Mountain and the Luxury Commander of Beihai Guo Fangyu. Qin Junhong was in danger of siege and intercepted the government army. He resolutely decided to join Li Fengyun in a critical moment, so he led his troops to cross the Jishui River. On the one hand, he temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the government army to win a breathing opportunity. On the other hand, he sent envoys to advance westward to find Li Fengyun's alliance army in order to seek support.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the government army from surrounding Sidujin from Qi County, Li Fengyun always placed Cao Kun's Second Alliance Army and Shan Xiongxin's 17th Alliance Army in Qi County. One monitored Licheng and the other monitored Zhua, and the Donglai Navy Division had no one to land. King Yang Nan of Qi "went through hardships" to capture Licheng and was resting. Therefore, the messenger of the Qilu Rebel Army who was running west along the Ji River was in danger and found the alliance army very smoothly.

Wang Bo's 18th Army was deployed east of Sidujin, just behind Cao Kun and Shan Xiongxin, giving them support at any time. When Cao Kun sent someone to send the messenger of Qi and Lu rebels to Wang Bo's camp, Wang Bo was both surprised and happy, while the messenger hugged Wang Bo's thigh and cried loudly, crying in tears.

After reading the letters of help written by the Zuo brothers and Guo Fangyu and Qin Junhong, Wang Bo read the letters of help from the courier, and then heard the detailed statements of the messenger, he immediately realized that he could not rescue him by his own strength. Now the King of Qi's army is in Licheng, while the Donglai Navy is on the river waterway, and Zhang Xutuo is in the Beihai. After crossing the Ji River and entering the Linji line, this Qilu rebel army seemed safe, but in fact it was still surrounded by the official army, and there was no danger to defend, and he was hungry. As long as the three official troops worked together to encircle and suppress, the entire army would be wiped out.

Wang Bo flew to the camp and begged Li Fengyun to provide help.

Li Fengyun was a little surprised. He had expected that after Zhang Xutuo entered the Beihai, the Qilu rebel army would be killed by him and ran away. This is true in history. After the Zhangqiu War, Zhang Xutuo took advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of Changbaishan rebels and then rushed into the Beihai. The Lu East rebel army was suppressed. The Changbai Mountain rebel army and the Beihai rebel army were both devastating. Later, even the rebel army hero Zuo Xiaoyou who was stationed in Donglai Sanggou Mountain was destroyed. After Zhang Xutuo surrendered to the rebels in Lu East rebels, he took the opportunity to recruit a large number of prisoners, and his strength suddenly expanded, and thus became the suppression of Henan, Qi and Lu.

The main force was in chaos and won the appreciation of the Holy Lord, and he had high hopes for it. However, the facts now deviated from the history in Li Fengyun's memory. Although the Zhangqiu War was still the same, the Hebei rebel army was defeated by the navy, and the Qilu rebel army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo and fled. The official army still won consecutive battles in the suppression of the rebellion in the Beihai. However, the Qilu rebel army, which had been defeated again and again, did not continue to flee eastward, nor did they try to enter Donglai County to meet Zuo Xiaoyou, but instead killed a "returning" attack, broke through Zhang Xutuo's siege, returned to Qi County, and decided to join the alliance in order to survive.

Li Fengyun felt quite tricky and helpless.

In theory, the alliance is of course the more troops, the better, but in fact it is not the case. It takes money and food to support the army, and even more money and food to fight. If you don’t have money and food, what should you use to support the army? What should you use to attack cities and villages? Fighting to support the war is just an urgent solution. If you want to develop and grow by relying on fighting to support the war, it is purely an unrealistic delusion. The alliance now seems strong, but in fact it is a tree without roots and water without source. It has never been resolved. In this case, you can only do what you can. First of all, you must ensure your "physical strength" and maintain your combat effectiveness. Only in this way can you have hope of survival. On the contrary, you have to bear too many "burdens" that far exceeds your ability to bear, and that is suicide.

Wang Bo naturally knew this fact that he raised the flag early, had great appeal, and had many people willing to follow him, but why did he not develop? The encirclement of the government troops on all sides was indeed one of the reasons that hindered his development, but the most fundamental reason was that there was no money and food, and there was no economic ability to support development. The same was true for other heroes. Who doesn’t want to grow? Who doesn’t have intelligence? Moreover, there is no shortage of people in the north and south of Henan, especially in the current situation where natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and ordinary people are hungry and cold, and they are in danger of protection, and people are caught by a large number of people. As long as you have enough money and food, you can immediately pull up a team. But the key is, can your money and food be continuously supplied? Is it endless and endless? If your money and food can only support a short period of time, the seriousness of the problem can be imagined.

Since the alliance went west to the Central Plains to expand its army on a large scale, Li Fengyun and Haoshuai and others have fully realized this problem, and then they stopped expanding their army. Since then, they have not expanded their army since then. Pei Changzi and Shi Zihe joined because the alliance suffered too much losses in the Zhongchuan Water War and needed to make up for the losses before accepting them. As for Wang Bo's joining, on the one hand, it was because the alliance had sufficient money and food after the Licheng War, and on the other hand, it was because the Qilu people in the alliance occupied most of the people in the alliance and had a lot of voice. If they refused, it would inevitably intensify the conflicts within the alliance and would not be worth the loss.

Now there are four heroic coaches in Qilu who lead their troops to invest, and the alliance suddenly needs to increase its troops by 10,000 or 20,000 troops, which is unbearable for both Li Fengyun and the alliance.

When Wang Bo saw Li Fengyun silent for a long time, his expression was even more gloomy and gloomy, he knew that Li Fengyun had no intention of taking in. He understood Li Fengyun's difficulties. In yesterday's military discussion, Li Fengyun announced the suspension of cooperation between the two sides and parted ways in front of the Hebei heroes. This is enough to show that the current alliance is in deep trouble. Otherwise, Li Fengyun would not have been so heartless, and he would have been almost broken up with the people of Hebei.

Wang Bo gritted his teeth, lifted his clothes and knelt down, bowed his favor, and expressed his surrender to Li Fengyun. This was the only "capital" he could use to beg Li Fengyun. Although this certainly could not impress Li Fengyun, Wang Bo could not think of any other way in a hurry.

"Ming Gong, the soldiers of Qi and Lu are in danger. Please help Ming Gong." Wang Bo swears, "From then on, I will follow Ming Gong, even if I am broken into pieces, I will do whatever I want to do. If I violate this oath, I will thunder and thunder, and thousands of arrows will pierce my heart."

Li Fengyun was speechless and didn't know what to say. Wang Bo forced him so hard that Li Fengyun had to save him. As for oaths, Li Fengyun didn't take it seriously at all. Any "Ming Gong" who believed in these bullshit vows would probably be dead.

Without saying a word, Li Fengyun first helped Wang Bo up, and then asked Sima Yuan'an to draft an order, order Cao Kun, Shan Xiongxin immediately led his army to Queshan, Linji front line, and responded to the Qilu rebel army breaking through at any cost. He also ordered Lu Mingxing to immediately lead the Cavalry Army and cooperated with Wang Bo's 18th Army to quickly advance to Queshan and Linji front line, giving strong support to Cao Kun and Shan Xiongxin. He also ordered Zhen Baoche to lead the Hu Ben Army and Xiahou Zhe to lead the First Army of the Alliance to advance eastward along the north bank of the Ji River, closely monitoring the movements of the official army in the direction of Zhu Ahe Licheng. If the official army is dispatched, it will resolutely block it.

Wang Bo was very grateful and thanked him again. Then he said goodbye in a hurry, rushed to the cavalry camp to meet with the general manager Lu Mingxing, and went to the front line to rescue the Qilu Rebel Army.

Li Fengyun also ordered that the central commander Meng Haigong and the right commander Huo Xiaohan, each of them led the troops of their prefecture to immediately evacuate Sidujin and rushed to Henggongdu.

The large-scale mobilization of the alliance army made the atmosphere in Sidujin suddenly tense. Li Fengyun suddenly mobilized elite troops to advance eastward to Qi County, and arranged for the main force to go south to evacuate, which was enough to prove that the war situation had a sudden and drastic change. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that King Yang Nan of Qi came from behind, and Li Fengyun had to advance eastward with elite troops to block the eastward, and at the same time ordered the main army to evacuate 100,000 in a hurry to evacuate Jibei.

People from Hebei were panicked. Li Fengyun left. What should they do?

Liu Xuan was also anxious and took the initiative to find Li Fengyun and tried his best to persuade Li Fengyun to put justice first and not to ignore the Hebei rebel army. Once the Hebei rebel army is wiped out, it will inevitably cause an irreparable blow to Li Fengyun's reputation and will definitely affect the future development of Li Fengyun and the alliance.

Li Fengyun compromised. Liu Xuan's advice must not be ignored. Hebei's rebel army must not be spared. Just as the alliance must save the Qilu rebel army, sometimes righteousness must be supreme and reputation must be taken care of. Although the price paid for this may be too high, there is no way. If the alliance loses righteousness and reputation, it is like a person losing his soul and no longer has the meaning of existence.

Li Fengyun gave the final reply. The alliance is very difficult at present, so he can only lead one army to the eight heroes of Hebei, with eight soldiers of 32,000 people. There is no room for discussion. Hebei heroes of Hebei must be considerate and understand, and must have the heart to work with the alliance. When the situation improves, within the scope that the alliance can bear, Li Fengyun promises to allow them to expand their army. Of course, they have the freedom to break away from the alliance at any time, but the premise is that the interests of the alliance cannot be harmed, otherwise, the alliance will retaliate and will bring a devastating blow.

In addition, through Liu Xuan, Li Fengyun gave the Haoshang a promise that was not public. If the Haoshangshang could not accept the conditions of the alliance, considering the tense situation, Li Fengyun allowed them to follow the alliance army and evacuate to He and Si front lines. The alliance was about to move to the Central Plains, and even Mengshan had to give up. Therefore, the alliance could completely hand over the occupied areas in He and Si front lines to the Hebei rebel army. As for the survival of the Hebei rebel army in the future, it would depend on them.

Liu Xuan was very moved. Li Fengyun's measurement, courage and wisdom exceeded his imagination, which made him vaguely see a glimmer of hope in despair. Perhaps God would be blessed by him, and he would have a reputation for being innocent and not be insulted in the nine springs. But the premise is that before he died, Li Fengyun was already the invincible overlord in the world. Liu Xuan sighed to the sky, how long will God give him life? And in this short period of time, will Li Fengyun create an unprecedented miracle?

Liu Xuan himself only saw a glimmer of hope that was out of reach, but what he brought to Hebei people was a great hope that could survive.

The heroes of Hebei finally accepted the reality. After all, Li Fengyun is not a god, and the alliance is not invincible in the world. Everyone is a miserable brother and brother. They just laugh at them for fifty steps. Although there is a gap in strength, the gap is not very large. Li Fengyun did not accept them, and the alliance's strength was stronger. After accepting them, the number of troops in the army became more and more powerful, but in the case of a serious shortage of money and food, their strength did not increase but decreased, but instead struggled.

On the eighth day of April, the Hebei rebel army followed the main force of the alliance and headed south to Lu County. At the same time, the Qilu rebel army also met with the alliance army and advanced westward along the north bank of the Ji River.
