Chen Rui stared at Han Yao with contempt, almost cursing. At least he changed his mind and wanted to share life and death with Li Fengyun, and to curse others shamelessly, which would be too unkind.

Li Fengyun was also surprised, as if he didn't expect Han Yao to change his mind at the last moment. This made Han Yao even more sure of his guess, there was a conspiracy here.

Li Fengyun bowed and said a few words of sharing life and death with righteousness.

Han Yao then said goodbye and left, and returned to Qiao Military Camp to make specific arrangements.

As soon as Han Yao left, Chen Rui laughed and bowed to Li Fengyun repeatedly, "The general is so smart that he is as good as a god. He plays with Han Yao in his palms, and admires him."

Li Fengyun shook his hand and disagreed, "Don't bully people too much, leave room for everything. If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall, let alone people? He helped us once at a critical moment, and remember this favor. If he really can change his course and share life and death with someone, he will be a brother."

Chen Rui shook his head and said sarcastically, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Now that he is in a downturn, he may be restrained. Once he makes a comeback, his true colors will be revealed. By then, you remember his favor, but he may not remember your favor."

"Everyone has his own destiny." Li Fengyun smiled, "It depends on his luck."

Yuan An stood aside, frightened. Han Yao was plotted again, and this time he was in danger of his life. Chen Rui obviously had the intention to kill people, but Li Fengyun had no idea of ​​killing them all.

Chen Rui wanted to avenge his personal revenge, but Li Fengyun had to take the overall situation into consideration. At the moment of advancing eastward, unity within the rebels was crucial. It is precisely because of this that when Li Fengyun led his army to the west, he tried every means to bring Han Yao with him, so as not to take the opportunity to cause trouble when he temporarily lost control of the main force of the rebels, causing internal strife, and then ruin the rebels' opportunity to turn the war.

That night, under the leadership of Chen Rui, the main force of the rebel army quietly headed north along the Wo Water and entered Shansang County, Qiao County.

The next day, Li Fengyun and Han Yao took five groups to cross the Whishui River with great fanfare and marched towards the Feishui River in Ruyin County.

The news quickly reached Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong. The two made an unanimous judgment. The thieves were siege and blocked by Yingyang Mansion and realized that if they continued to go to Dangtu Duhuai to the south, they might not have enough time. Once the crossing of Huai was blocked, they would be surrounded. So they changed their strategy and quickly advanced westward, crossed the Feishui, to Yingshui, and looked for a good opportunity to cross the Huai area in Xiacai and Yingshang areas in Ruyin County. If they could not cross the Huai south, the thieves could continue to move westward, crossed the Yingshui, and went to Nanyang or Jingxiang areas. Not only was there a land of fish and rice, but also a wealthy place, but also many majestic mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles, which was very conducive to the survival of the thieves.

Dong Chun then ordered Zhu Yingyang to chase and kill with all his might and attack Feishui Yiqian. The two counties of Ruyin and Zhunyang must stick to the line of Feishui and resolutely block the thieves from advancing westward.

Considering that the thieves were cunning and cruel, and had heavy troops in their hands, Dong Chun specifically warned Zhu Yingyang to be cautious and not be careless and underestimate the enemy, and not to be greedy for merit and advance recklessly, so as not to form a lonely army to penetrate deeper, to capture the opportunity to attack, and repeat the mistakes of Fei Huai's defeat. Therefore, he asked Zhu Yingyang to advance together and support each other, first ensure his own safety, and then surround the thieves and annihilate the thieves.

It would be better if Dong Chun didn't issue a warning, but once this warning came out, it would be a bad thing.

The generals of Yingyang, Yingjilang and the lieutenant in Zhuyingyang are basically from noble families. Relying on their noble status and the shady zodiac signs, they first make some military achievements in the army, and then seek an official position through deep and complex personal connections. Then they get a seniority and gradually get promoted as they grow older. In peaceful times, the children of aristocratic families enjoy the first place and endure hardships. They regard their lives as much as anything else. Even if they become officials, they must find a comfortable and safe place. Therefore, few people with real skills, and as for combat experience, they are even more lacking. They are all just looking at them but not useful, and they are all gold and jade.

Outside, the ones among the decays. Since you have no ability, you should be low-key and humble, and don’t show off in a high-profile manner to avoid causing trouble. However, some people are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that it would be amazing to have struggled on the battlefield and fought with real swords and guns. Fei Huai is a typical example. He is known as the young sect in the Guard Army. He thought he was the future pillar of Zhongtu, with a high spirit and arrogance. As a result, he was not killed in the border battlefield. Instead, he fell into a big flaw in the domestic thief field and was overturned to the ground by a group of unknown small thieves, and even his head was cut off.

Fei Huai's death sounded a wake-up call to the heads of the Yingyang Mansion, but the children of aristocratic families were arrogant and conceited, and some people still did not take the rebels seriously. This is also the reason why Dong Chun issued a warning. Dong Chun was a veteran of the two dynasties. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he fought for the Central Plains. The Sui usurped Zhou Zuo and fought for the unification of Central Earth. After the unification of Central Earth, he fought westward and northward to fight for the stability of the Central Earth border. It can be said that he has a lifetime of military service and made outstanding achievements. He is the real minister of the dynasty of the dynasty. Such a high-powered person actually attached importance to a group of small thieves and warned Zhu Yingyang. This shows that these rebels are extraordinary and far from comparable to a group of mobs.

Zhu Yingyang's officers had no enthusiasm for fighting, and Fei Huai's death was a bloody lesson, so no one was willing to be a "shower". It was fine if the battle was won, but if he lost, he would fall. If he was not capable, why should he rush forward? But he was worried about being scolded by the chief, so he reluctantly did it and left slowly. Now Dong Chun publicly warned them to be careful, that was just right, and they were so eager to move forward.

Yingyang Mansions in Ruyin and Huaiyang counties were slow to go. Before they arrived at the Feishui line, they received news that the traitors came to Feishui, so they directly retreated to the Yingshui line and stood firm on Yingshui.

Dong Chun was in charge of the army advancing westward, but what made him angry was that the Wu Ben Lang General Liang Dezhong was lip service and walked very slowly, which dragged down the speed of progress.

Liang Dezhong had no intention of suppressing the thieves at all. He was planning his own great cause of wealth.

Dong Chun is the head of the garrison district in Xuyu Town. Qiao County has such a big deal. The rebels burned, killed, plundered and did whatever they wanted, seriously endangering the security of the region and the plan of the Eastern Expedition. He must be responsible. Dongdu is the first to punish him. Otherwise, what would the emperor use to deter civil and military officials? As for how much punishment is, I don’t know, but at least one thing is certain. Dong Chun will not stay in the position of General Zuo Xiaowei, and he will definitely leave Pengcheng. But now this position is very "hot" and there is a risk to take it hastily, so no one will come to Pengcheng to replace Dong Chun in the short term. Since this is the case, Dongdu will inevitably order Liang Dezhong to be the temporary agent and take charge of Xu Yu’s military. Liang Dezhong is limited by his noble rank, and he will end up with the fourth-rank Wu Benlang General in this life.

Therefore, he did not consider the promotion of the official position, and would not covet the position of General Zuo Xiaowei, unless miracles occur, but there are not so many miracles in the world? Since he cannot seek official positions, then seek wealth. In the past, Dong Chun suppressed him and could not "show his strength". Now that he has left, he will naturally "work hard" once he is ordered to act temporarily. The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again. For Liang Dezhong, he is the only opportunity and cannot miss it no matter what. Since he does not want to miss it, he must be stable. Before Dong Chun leaves Pengcheng, he cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, Liang Dezhong does not want to encircle and suppress the rebels at all. He is dedicated to driving the rebels across the Huai River. This is the safest way, and it is also the most advantageous way for him.

Dong Chun knew very well that he could not ask Liang Dezhong to help him because of his colleagues and his chariot at this moment. He only asked Liang Dezhong not to attack him, and it would be nice not to take any action behind his back.

Once the speed of the official army's encirclement and suppression slows down, the rebel army will take advantage of it.

Li Fengyun led his army to cross the Feishui River, burned, killed, plundered and plundered on the west bank, fought several small towns, swept a group of manors, and first "feeded" the Yingyang Guards who had just surrendered, and used bloody killing to push them to the evil side of human nature. This method was still effective. Many of the surrendered Yingyang Guards planned to escape on the way, and some planned to turn against each other in front of the battle. If there weren't a cruel person, one person would have escaped and the other fire brothers would have to be buried with them, I'm afraid the army would have reduced their personnel by half before they arrived at Feishui.

Li Fengyun obviously knew the psychology of these people very well. After running to Feishui, he sent troops to plunder, and all the gains of the plunder belonged to his personal. People died for money and birds died for food. There was no way. Human nature was greedy. Once profitable, no one could stop the temptation. His pockets were bulging, and his dream of getting rich became a reality, but people became deteriorated and human nature became evil. So those who planned to escape did not escape, and those who planned to turn against each other in front of the formation did not want to turn against each other. Although being a thief was not a long-term solution after all, most people chose to be a thief for the time being. Being a thief was to make money and making money was to live a comfortable and comfortable life. If the future of being a thief was not good, it would not be too late to escape.

The next day, Li Fengyun first led his army to go south along the west bank of Feishui for thirty miles, then suddenly crossed the river and returned to the east bank of Feishui for another burn, killing and looting.

Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong led their troops across the Wo-shui River and gradually approached the Feishui River.

Han Yao was very anxious and persuaded Li Fengyun to evacuate quickly. He was not only worried that he was surrounded by the government army, but also that something happened to his relatives and subordinates who followed the main force north. Although he guessed that Li Fengyun had a conspiracy to move westward, Li Fengyun was very likely to give up the main force to protect himself, before the conspiracy was not a fait accompli, Han Yao still hoped that everything would go smoothly, hoping that Li Fengyun could act according to the plan and always move on the right track. Whether the rebel army could succeed in advancing eastward depends entirely on Li Fengyun's command. Han Yao believed that he did not have such ability and confidence, so he was unwilling to persuade him again and again, begging Li Fengyun to stop when he was about to get better and not swim around the encirclement of the government army.

Li Fengyun believed that the purpose of advancing westward to lure the enemy was still needed to continue to stay at the Feishui line. On the third day, Li Fengyun did the same thing, first went south along the east bank of the Feishui thirty miles south, then crossed the river, then returned to the west bank of the Feishui, and burned and killed and plundered again.

Ruyin Yingyang Mansion closely monitored the movements of the traitors. According to the observations of three consecutive days, Ruyin Yingyang Mansion judged that the traitors would still cross Huai south, so he urgently reported to Dong Chun. Dong Chun ordered Zhu Yingyang on the Wosui line to go southwest and move towards the downstream of the Feishui River and the north bank of the Huai River. Huaiyang and Ruyin Yingyang Mansion followed closely behind the traitors, striving to encircle and annihilate the traitors in the Xiacai area where the Huai River and the Feishui River converge.

However, on that night, Li Fengyun led the rebel soldiers to the sky and the moon, running northward for more than a hundred miles along the west bank of the Feishui River. At dawn, lurking in a secluded river valley and sleeping soundly.
