chapter sixty six

That night, Li Fengyun and other rebel leaders discussed specific matters of advancing eastward despite their fatigue.

Judging from the current situation, the rebel army has a great advantage. The encirclement and suppression troops of the government army have been lured between Feishui and Yingshui. If nothing unexpected happens, the official army is looking for traces of the rebel army in Yingshang and Xiacai areas in Ruyin County. It is about 400 miles from Xiacai to Pengcheng, and the rebel army is currently located about 100 places from Pengcheng. Assuming that the official army will receive news of Yongcheng being robbed tomorrow, and based on this, it is determined that the rebel army has jumped out of the encirclement and is killing Pengcheng, so it quickly turns around and chases, then the two are at least three days apart.

If everything goes well, three days later, the rebel army not only crossed Pengcheng and approached Lu County, but also was only more than 200 miles away from Mengshan. However, the pursuit and suppression army had not yet arrived in Pengcheng, and they could not catch up with the rebel army no matter what.

The leaders of the rebel army were all very excited and their excitement was beyond words.

"On the way eastward, we will encounter many obstacles, and Pengcheng is our biggest obstacle."

Li Fengyun was not polite, and regardless of everyone's joy, he poured cold water on his head.

"There are four Yingyang Mansions in Pengcheng, which are stationed in Pengcheng, Fuli, Peicheng and Tengcheng respectively. The Zuo Xiaogu General Dong Chun set up a palace in Pengcheng, which is in charge of Xuyu's military. According to the captive Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion Yingjilang General Wang Yang, because Dong Chun returned to the prefect of Pengcheng (acting) and held two positions, in order to curb his power, the court specially appointed Liang Dezhong, the general of Wu Benlang under the Zuo Xiaogu Mansion, as his deputy to divide his military power."

"Sometimes, in the Huanshui and Woshui areas, the scouts identified Pengcheng and Fuli, two Yingyang Mansions under the banner of Yingyang Mansion that was pursuing us. Based on this, one of Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong must have left Pengcheng and led their troops to quell the rebellion. The most likely one was Liang Dezhong. Liang Dezhong was Dong Chun's deputy and was mainly responsible for military affairs, while Dong Chun was the chief of the Pengcheng military. Without the approval of the Dongdu, it was inconvenient to leave his post without permission."

"If a certain inference is correct, then the current General Zuo Xiaogu, the prefect of Pengcheng, is in Pengcheng. This person is a famous general of the Guard Army, and is a civil and military strategist, and is our strongest opponent. Secondly, there is at least one Yingyang Mansion near Pengcheng. The chaos in Qiao County endangers Xu Yu's safety, and Pengcheng is very close to Qiao County, so you must be careful to prevent it. Now Pengcheng Yingyang Mansion has gone to suppress the enemy. Pengcheng is empty and Dong Chun has no soldiers available. Of course, one Yingyang Mansion nearby is to be transferred to Pengcheng Town. The most convenient way Dong Chun is to mobilize is Peicheng Yingyang Mansion and Tengcheng Yingyang Mansion. Peicheng is a little closer to Pengcheng, so if nothing unexpected happens, we will be blocked by Peicheng Yingyang Mansion under Pengcheng City."

"Today we will fight Yongcheng again and cut off the canal channel. Qiao County will immediately call the police to Pengcheng for help. Dong Chun is a veteran in a hundred battles and is very strategic. He will see our intention to advance east at a glance. He will mobilize all the troops in his hands to block it, and urgently transfer Tengcheng Yingyang Mansion to fight in Pengcheng. He will also order Liang Dezhong to lead the troops to fight in the rebellion day and night to return to Pengcheng. Therefore, whether we can break through Dong Chun's blockage in the shortest time will directly determine the success or failure of the rebel army's eastward advance to Qilu."

After Li Fengyun poured this basin of cold water, he did not pour the burning passion in everyone's hearts. The rebel army won consecutive victories and lured thousands of chasing and suppressing the official army hundreds of miles away. It was invincible, and he could defeat the official army in his hands. In everyone's heart, as long as the white-haired commander was present, all difficulties could be solved and all crises could be resolved in an instant. The rebel army turned crisis into safety again and again, and the facts also proved that when the white-haired commander analyzed the situation and judged it extremely severely, it was actually a time when he was confident. What the white-haired commander needed was only everyone's clear understanding of the crisis, absolute persistence in belief, and unconditional trust in himself.

"General, we have changed our color in Qiao County. The county magistrate is unforgivable. It is definitely over. Dong Chun will also suffer. Judging from his own future, he can only kill us with the fastest speed to atone for his sins. So will he leave Pengcheng and lead his army to surround us in person?" Han Shou, who was quick to speak, was still speechless, "If Dong Chun was not in Pengcheng and Liang Dezhong was not in Pengcheng, wouldn't we be able to cross Pengcheng and jump into Mengshan?"

Li Fengyun looked cold and shook his head repeatedly, his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and then he stretched out a finger and shook it in the air. "Remember, if we want to survive, we must be cautious at all times, and plan countermeasures based on the worst ideas at all times."

Then he pointed at Han Shou and continued, "As early in Dangshan, I have repeatedly told these principles. Has Captain Han been overly nervous recently and forgotten all the things he once knew?"

Han Shou suddenly blushed and was embarrassed.

"Tomorrow you will lead four regiments as the selection of the front line, kill Pengcheng directly, and open up the road to east for the army."

Han Shou jumped up and agreed with a loud promise.

"Seiwei Xu." Li Fengyun immediately pointed at Xu Shisan, "You lead three regiments to break the enemy's back, and send more scouts to inquire about the enemy's situation. Be careful and be careful not to be careless and underestimate the enemy, and be catching up with the pursuers."

Xu Shisan also stood up to receive the order.

"The other generals, the heads of the generals, advanced together with the general's mansion, and killed Pengcheng."

All the generals agreed.

Everyone noticed a detail at this moment. Han Yao was consciously ignored, and the title of Qiao Jun was also deliberately ignored, giving people the feeling that Han Yao surrendered to Li Fengyun and Qiao Jun was also annexed by the Cangtou Army. Although this is not a fait accompli, this trend is irreversible. Even Han Yao's confidants and subordinates have to admit that the general situation is gone. It can be expected that after the large army arrives at Mount Meng, Li Fengyun will first reorganize the army, and the history of Qiao Jun will definitely end there.

A soldier is a beating and a beating. Han Yao is more than enough to be a local power in peacetime, but during the war, especially in the early stages of the war, his military flaws were too obvious and he was unable to bear the leadership of the rebel army. It cannot be said that Li Fengyun has been putting a trap for Han Yao to attack and contain his strength. It can only be said that Han Yao lacks personal ability, but he threatens Li Fengyun's position in the rebel army. In order to consolidate his leadership over the rebel army, Li Fengyun must suppress Han Yao. Han Yao either took the initiative to surrender, or was "beaten" by Li Fengyun and had to surrender. The current situation is that Han Yao is "blue-faced" and is gray-faced. Even his trusted subordinates have lost confidence in him and are in an embarrassing situation of having to surrender.

Dong Chun's ominous premonition was soon fulfilled.

Zhu Yingyang sent scouts to find the traitor, but in fact he did not work hard. It would be better if the traitor disappeared. It would be better if he fled westward and fled into the deep mountains and forests, so that everyone would be relaxed and could return to the base and do whatever they should do, so as not to be worried and frightened.

However, the facts are exactly the opposite of what everyone expected.

The governor of Qiao County was angry and wrote a cursive script from the post station to Dong Chun, and scolded him. It would be fine if you could not chase the thief, but it would be wrong to kill innocent people indiscriminately; if you could not chase the thief, you could be angry, but you could not vent your anger on innocent civilians. Your soldiers slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilians under Yongcheng City. This blood debt should be recorded on your head. A general reported to the emperor to impeach you.

Dong Chun stood speechless with this letter of handwriting.

There were indeed people with outstanding strategies among the thieves. They not only escaped from Zhu Yingyang's siege, but also lured Zhu Yingyang to the west of Feishui. This time they were embarrassed and were fooled by a group of traitors, and their faces were gone.

Dong Chun was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, but he had to force himself to calm down, think about countermeasures, try to "repair the dead", and then kill all the thieves.

The thief attacked Yongcheng again? Then he rushed to Pengcheng? Dong Chun stood in front of the map, his eyes moved from Feishui to WoShui, then from WoShui to Huanshui, Tongji Canal, and then from Yongcheng to Pengcheng. The thief attacked Pengcheng? What is the purpose? His eyes looked from Pengcheng again to east. To the east was Qilu, Langya County, Mengshan, and Yishan.

Dong Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized that it was not good, he was trapped.

"The order was sent to Zhu Yingyang to give up all his supplies, and he followed his carts day and night to Pengcheng." Dong Chun decisively ordered, "In three days, he must arrive in Pengcheng. If anyone misses the military opportunity, he will be killed!"

Dong Chun also urgently ordered the Zuoxiaowei Mansion of Pengcheng and the county magistrate to stop the rebels at all costs, and to do his best to keep the rebels in Pengcheng territory. He also authorized the Pengcheng County Magistrate Cui Deben to deal with the situation immediately, and ordered him to take into account the overall situation with strict words and consider the face of the imperial court and the guards, and to prevent the rebels from advancing eastward to Qilu.

This order was actually a "repair of the sheep" because when he received the angry rebuke letter from the governor of Qiao County, the rebels had already arrived at Pengcheng, and Pengcheng was unprepared and caught off guard. What's more serious is that there was a fierce conflict between the military and political circles of Pengcheng, the government and local forces in Pengcheng. If he was in charge of Pengcheng, he could still suppress it and could calmly dispatch all forces in Pengcheng to stop the rebels, but he left. Once he left, there would definitely be a mess within Pengcheng. He was also a plan to face the rebels. They fought each other and could not stop the rebels from advancing eastward.

However, this order must be given, and the Pengcheng government must be brought in and taken responsibility together. You, Cui Deben, have always been against me and have made things difficult for me everywhere. This time, the traitors rushed into Pengcheng. It was a good opportunity. How could I let you go before leaving Pengcheng?

When Liang Dezhong heard the news, he couldn't help but swear. "Strange thief, where did the traitor come from? Why are you so cunning? Aren't you really going against me? I was determined to let you go and let you cross the Huai south. You will be fine. Not only will you not go south, but you will shoot and kill Pengcheng. Once Pengcheng is ruined by you, Dong Chun is a crime, but I can't get it. I will suffer and punish me. Wouldn't my plan to make money be ruined? It's outrageous. A tiger doesn't show its might. Do you think I'm a sick cat? Then he will kill you back to Pengcheng and kill you, and the corpses are everywhere.

Liang Dezhong was slowing down when he advanced westward, but his speed of returning to Pengcheng east was amazing. At his urging, the two groups of eagle guards ran wildly and ran rapidly.
