Zhao Shizhu disagreed. The rebels had crossed the Sanggan River to attack the city and plunder the village, burned, killed and plundered him. At that time, he was in Huaihuang. He ran back when he heard the news. However, the troops were short of troops and could only passively defend and summon local village groups to solve the urgent problem. After that, the two sides had contacted each other several times, but Zhao Shizhu's purpose was to control the situation, and the rebels were mainly restrained and refused to fight. Therefore, both sides were very restrained and retreated at the touch, but they did not fight. Then Zhao Shizhu had a conflict with Duan Da and was passively lazy. The rebels withdrew from Qi Yishui for some reason. The two sides set aside and the war was suspended. However, the good times were not long, and it was only after a few days that the rebels made a comeback.

"Ming Gong, according to the scouts, the rebels who crossed the river north this time were very large, with tens of thousands of people. The purpose was obviously to come from the entire Yanbei. We must be fully prepared and urgently report to the left-behind mansion and request support." Sima Shao Jing'an saw that Zhao Shizhu was "indifferent" and did not pay attention to it at all, and was very anxious. Although he knew that Zhao Shizhu was depressed, in a low mood recently, and was very negative, he also guessed that it was related to the competition for the position of "deputy left-behind", but the situation is now critical and the result of passive and lazy war is very serious. Once Yanbei falls into war, it is in chaos and endangers the safety of the town garrison, the crime will be very serious.

"Ten thousand?" Zhao Shizhu glanced at Shao Jing'an with dissatisfaction and sneered, "Speak alarmist. Order the scouts to report after they have found out, don't be panicked, let alone talk nonsense about confusing the morale of the army, otherwise you will be severely punished."

Shao Jing'an complained secretly, after hesitating for a moment, he said carefully, "Ming Gong, according to the news of the left-behind mansion, the rebels in Gaoyang have retreated from Changshan Pass in the past few days, and the rebels in Shanggu also contracted to Puyin Pass. I heard that the King of Qi has also led his army into Shanggu."

Shao Jing'an said it implicitly, but the meaning was obvious. The rebels evacuated from northern Hebei and could not trap Feihu and defend passively. They must take the initiative to attack. They must take advantage of the empty troops in Yanbei to cross to Sanggan to build several cities in order to expand their territory and seize the initiative, laying the foundation for a foothold in Yanbei. The possibility of a huge success is very high.

Zhao Shizhu pondered silently. Of course, he knew that Shao Jing'an's analysis was reasonable. The Wei Mansion must be prepared. Several important cities in the hinterland of Yanbei, such as Huairong and Guangning, should be defended heavily. However, he was in a bad mood. When he thought that Yinshi Master was about to come and point fingers at him, he became angry and attacked his heart. It was even more uncomfortable than eating flies. He really had no enthusiasm to take the initiative to "act", but it was impossible to do nothing at all. After all, the safety of the garrison in Yanbei was crucial and could not be misunderstood.

Seeing that Zhao Shizhu was silent and moved, Shao Jing'an continued to speak out, "Ming Gong, the rebels are now in a dilemma of fighting on both sides and are very passive. In this situation, if the rebels defended the flying fox to death, they would definitely wait for death, but attacking Yanbei is also a substitute. The rebels attacked Yanbei with the intention of using the safety of the Great Wall to coerce us to compromise and concessions, thus giving them valuable time to survive the crisis. Just wait for the heavy snow to come, they have a chance to breathe. However, the stability of Yanbei directly affects the development of relations between the north and the south. From the east capital to Zhuo County, they cannot tolerate the rebels' destruction and deterioration of relations between the north and the south. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the left-behind mansion will immediately send a large number of reinforcements into Yanbei to suppress the bandits, and even the King of Qi may go north to the border."

Zhao Shizhu glanced at Shao Jing'an, with a look of admiration. Shao Jing'an came from the Youyan family, a local aristocratic bureaucrat, and had a thorough understanding of the situation in Youyan and even the northern border. He said the "pivot". The "pivot" was the King of Qi. In the past two years, in order to kill the white-haired thieves, the King of Qi chased from Qilu to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to Hebei, and now he has to chase from Hebei to Yanbei. The mystery here is too deep, and as long as it is not a fool, you can see the problem. The key to how the situation develops next is the Holy Lord and the Central Plains. If the Holy Lord and the Central Plains acquiesced to the King of Qi to Yanbei to chase and suppress the white-haired thieves, the matter of suppressing the thieves will rise to a political level, and the situation in Yanbei will inevitably undergo major changes.

Now Zhao Shizhu is watching the changes. He dare not make "big moves". Whether it is suppressing thieves or guarding the border, they are "negative", so as not to offend people who should not be offended after the situation changes, and disasters will come from the sky. Therefore, Zhao Shizhu's "negative" actually has profound meaning. It is not just a battle of intention in the officialdom, but a battle of intention in the officialdom to cover up his fear of the changes in the situation in Yanbei, and is worried that he will be swallowed up by the fierce power game behind this change and become a victim of the power struggle in vain.

"What do you mean is that the rebels attacked Yanbei with great fanfare, and the white-haired thief had other plans?" Zhao Shizhu asked slowly.

"The northern border of Yanbei is surrounded by northern troops and heavy troops inside. It is deserted and poor, and the living conditions are very bad. How can the white-haired thief not be able to die? So I believe that the real target of the white-haired thief should be Hebei. Attacking Yanbei is actually to go south to Hebei, but in Hebei development, he also faces the four-sided encirclement of the Weifu Army. For this reason, the white-haired thief came up with the idea of ​​luring the tiger out of the mountain. He first attacked Yanbei, disrupted the situation in Yanbei, worsened the security of the garrison, provoked a confrontation between the north and the south, and attracted all the Weifu Army in Hebei and Youzhou to Yanbei, and then he could go south to Hebei and burn, kill and plunder."

"It's possible." Zhao Shizhu nodded slightly, "Where will the plan come out?"

"Ming Gong, if the rebels crossed north to the north on a large scale just to make a situation of attacking Yanbei, just to create a tense situation to mislead us to make wrong judgments, and the white-haired thief was just bluffing, then the white-haired thief would definitely not dare to face us head-on, and would not want to fight with us. He would preserve his strength to the greatest extent so that he could go south to fight against Hebei."

Zhao Shizhu understood it. Shao Jing'an did not object to his "inaction", but considering the current tension and major changes that may occur in the future, "inaction" is obviously too passive, and if you are not careful, you will force yourself to a dead end. Therefore, you should actively "act" and use false "acts" to cover up the real "inaction".

Zhao Shizhu weighed the pros and cons, but still accepted Shao Jing'an's suggestion. Now the Holy Lord and the Central Government are in Linshuo Palace, which is close to you. If you have any slight disturbances in Yanbei, you will be transmitted to the palace. If you are not in the face of the attack of the white-haired thief, you will not go out, fearless and not fight, and let them burn, kill and plunder the chasing and chasing the situation in Yanbei, and even endanger the safety of the town, you will most likely be severely punished by the Holy Lord and the Central Government. In addition, you have conflicts with Duan Da because of an optional deputy left-behind position and hurt him.

It is not worth it for decades of friendship. Besides, Yinshi Master is deeply trusted by the Holy Lord and valued by the Holy Lord. Such a person has a bright future. The position of the deputy of Zhuo County remains insignificant to him. It is just a temporary excessive. After the crisis, Yinshi Master is very likely to be promoted and promoted to the official career. Therefore, he should face the reality, put himself in the right position, and use this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Yinshi Master, which may be helpful to him in the future.

"The order was sent to Zhu Yingyang immediately assembled and summoned the clan groups of the towns and gangs to advance westward overnight to kill the rebels."

On August 27th, early morning, on the north bank of the Sanggan River, the small town of Changyi.

The sudden and violent sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the darkness, and roared from far to near. Li Fengyun, with white hair, led a team of cavalry guards, and rushed all the way in the hazy night, flags flew, and black cloaks rolled up, with a momentum like a tiger and winding into the small city.

The chief manager of Hu Ben Guo Ming, deputy chief manager Zhang Xiang and Sima, the chief manager of Hu Ben, and other subordinates welcomed him in front of the largest mansion in the small town.

The war horses neighed, and the sound of hooves suddenly stopped, causing a cool breeze in the autumn night. Li Fengyun flew off the horse, and while removing the windshield that covered most of his face, Zhang Xiang waved at Guo Ming who was approaching him.

Li Fengyun's close guard Xu Siliu took advantage of everyone's intimate greetings to help Li Fengyun untie the cloak, and then took the windshield from his hand, then stuffed it to Fengyun Guard behind him, and never left Li Fengyun.

Sima Yuan'an, the director of Xiao Yi, and the military officer Li Mengchang came from behind, and everyone laughed again.

Yuan An has been following Li Fengyun for the past two years. He has experienced many battles and suffered from storms. He has changed his whole body, calm and wise. What Li Fengyun values ​​more is his mellow and flexible and kind way of dealing with things. This method not only allows him to calmly deal with various forces, but also seek common ground while reserving differences to the greatest extent, bringing everyone together to unite and cooperate. This is too precious.

Xiao Yi was very excited, and his whole body was filled with passion. I don’t know if it was because the attacks were stimulated by the enemy, or because of this adventure on the verge of life and death that made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself. In short, this wealthy playboy who was "abandoned" by the twelve ladies of the Cui family were also matured in the tempering of war. Before, Li Fengyun fought fiercely in the Dongdu, and Xiao Yi originally wanted to go, but was dissuaded by Li Fengyun. After all, the current queen is from the Xiao family. The relationship between Xiao family and the Saint Lord and the royal family is too close. Once an accident occurs, Xiao Yi’s identity is exposed and hitting the Saint Lord in front of him is really detrimental to Xiao family’s reputation. This time Li Fengyun didn’t want to take him out of the frontier. It was too dangerous and could not explain it if he died. Xiao Yi was angry and wanted to turn against Li Fengyun, which gave him a very exciting adventure opportunity.

Li Mengchang is a new face, but he is a descendant of the super wealthy family, Zhaojun Li, with a respectable identity and a strong backer behind him. The reason why the alliance went north was smooth is because of the protection of the Li family of Zhaojun. This kind of protection is basically an open secret, but no force dared to jump out and uncover this secret. This is not a question of whether there is evidence, but a question of whether you dare to be enemies with the entire Shandong people. So Li Mengchang is highly respected and very popular in the alliance. In a sense, his existence is equivalent to telling everyone that there is support from Shandong wealthy families behind the alliance. Of course, the blacksmith must be strong himself. If you can't stick to the mud, you can't blame the wealthy families for abandoning you.

After the gossip, Li Fengyun walked into the mansion surrounded by everyone and asked straight to the point, "Huairong sent troops to stop the killing, what are your countermeasures?"
