Cheng Li agreed with Xia Shu's action very much and immediately started to act.

And Guo Peng also began to make maximum strategic preparations.

On the evening of April 18, the sect members learned that Guo Peng was in a hurry, saying that Kamiya Karasuma was grateful for his kindness, and told him that Zhang Ju Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju were in alliance with each other and intended to rebel, and asked the sect members to prepare as soon as possible.

The sect members have also heard some rumors these days, saying that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's actions in Yuyang are quite strange, and now they are even more shocked when they hear it.

The sect members urgently dispatched troops, and immediately sent envoys to inform the imperial court, ready to request support, and also urgently informed the county guards of the matter in Youzhou, telling them to prepare as soon as possible.

On the evening of April 20, Qiu Liju received a whistle-blower from Su Shuang, a Han merchant who often corresponded with him.

Su Shuang told him that Nanlou secretly informed Guo Peng that he was going to rebel with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and was preparing to attack him with Guo Peng's troops, so that he could prepare as soon as possible.

Qiu Liju was shocked.

He was already weak-hearted, and at this time he was shocked and angry, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, so he immediately ordered the relatives of Nanlou to be executed, and immediately dispatched troops to unite with the other two adults to attack Shanggu County, and then immediately informed Zhang Ju Zhang Chun of the matter, and agreed to rebel in advance.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun also received the news on the evening of April 20 that the sect members were deploying troops, and they were shocked and did not understand what was happening.

It was not until the afternoon of April 21 that the news of Qiu Liju arrived, and it was not known that the news of their rebellion had been leaked, and the imperial army was already coming to crusade.

In a panic, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun hurriedly announced a rebellion, and in the early morning of April 22, he led his soldiers to storm Yuyang County.

The rebellious army, which had been prepared for a long time, broke the defenseless and internal Yuyang battalion, and not only that, but also killed the Yuyang Taishou who was caught off guard.

After taking the Yuyang camp, the rebels enriched their ordnance, coerced the people's officials, plundered the gentry and wealthy households to enrich their military resources, and then gradually gathered tens of thousands of people, with great momentum.

Then, the rebel soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to Jixian County under the leadership of Zhang Chun, preparing to kill the sect members, and then joined forces with Qiu Liju to attack Shanggu County and kill Guo Peng.

The other road under the leadership of Zhang Ju marched to the right Beiping, preparing to build a base camp, attacking the city as the foundation, and the destination was Feiru.

The way of rebellion was discussed very early, and the route of the march was also discussed by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and the preparations were almost done, but the matter suddenly leaked, and they didn't know what was going on.

But the matter has come to this point, and the only way to rebel is to rebel in advance.

After all, the rebels had already prepared, and they were coerced a lot, and the momentum was huge, and on the way to Jixian County, they broke through Changping, Anle, and burned and looted everywhere they went, making the lives of Yuyang and Guangyang counties miserable.

When the sect member learned that the rebels quickly rebelled and gathered more than 100,000 people, he was shocked and immediately sent someone to tell Guo Peng about the incident, so that Guo Peng could immediately lead the army to save Jixian, and he would defend Jixian to the death, drag the main force of the rebels, and buy time for Guo Peng.

At that time, the sect members reluctantly gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to put into the city defense in advance, although the follow-up soldiers and horses have been assembled, but it still takes time to rush to Jixian County, and even whether they can rush to Jixian County is a problem.

The most important thing that the sect members can count on is Guo Peng's elite cavalry.

And at this moment, Guo Peng also has his own enemies, Qiu Liju sent Wu Yan, the Karasuma Lord of Beiping, to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Guo Peng and Nanlou, trying to annihilate the cavalry under Guo Peng's command in one fell swoop, sweep away Guo Peng's threat, and kill Nanlou who wore the same pants with Guo Peng by the way.

It wasn't until the surviving tribesmen who had escaped from Qiu Liju's residence fled back and told him that all the relatives he had sent had been killed by Qiu Liju and that Qiu Liju was going to send someone to conquer him, that he knew that he had been regarded as an enemy by Qiu Liju.

He was shocked at first, then grief-stricken.

Then Guo Peng sent someone to tell Nanlou, saying that the sect members sent people to tell him that the rebels suddenly rebelled, and the sect members asked him for reinforcements, and the situation had changed, and he wanted to immediately join forces with Nanlou to rescue Jixian County.

At this time, Guo Peng had already ordered 4,000 elite cavalry to march with him, and when he came to Nanlou's station, he learned that Nanlou's family had been killed by Qiu Liju.

It turned out that I didn't know who told Qiu Liju, saying that Nanlou told Guo Peng, and Guo Peng already knew that Qiu Liju was going to rebel.

Qiu Liju was very annoyed in shock, immediately killed Nanlou's relatives, and wanted to send someone to conquer Guo Peng and Nanlou, and the army had already been dispatched.

Guo Peng was shocked and shocked, he didn't know why the news was leaked.

Later, Guo Peng and Nanlou summed up, feeling that it might be that a businessman who often walked around the tribes to do business and even had business dealings with Guo Peng accidentally learned the news, and then told Qiu Liju the secret.

"Hateful! 100 Secrets! Something like this happened! ”

Guo Peng gritted his teeth, and Nanlou hated Qiu Liju even more.

Nanlou didn't think that this matter had anything to do with Guo Peng, Guo Peng formed an alliance with him and swore that he would not betray it, and even more so that he would make an appointment with him to sneak attack and kill Qiu Liju, and directly quell the rebellion, and definitely would not expect the rebellion to cause turmoil in Youzhou, so this matter must have nothing to do with Guo Peng.

In fact, before this, Nanlou had been entangled and swaying.

On one side is the Karasuma co-master, on the other side is the sacrifice and oath, he is very entangled, he doesn't know what to do, and even once had the idea of not helping each other to sit and watch the situation.

But Qiu Liju killed his family and came to attack him, forcing him to give up his illusions, choose to join forces with Guo Peng, and completely abandon Qiu Liju.

Guo Peng felt very sorry for the death of Nanlou's relatives, and Nanlou shed tears and said that it was Qiu Liju's fault, and he would definitely not give up with Qiu Liju.

So he did his best to pull up a cavalry of more than 11,000 people, and united with the 4,000 cavalry under Guo Peng, a total of 15,000 people, to challenge Qiu Liju.

The 30,000 cavalry led by Wu Yan rushed all the way, leaving no chickens and dogs in the places they passed along the way, and crossed the right Beiping and Yuyang counties from Liaoxi County all the way, and killed Shanggu County.

At the same time, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's subordinates arrived in Jixian County and began to engage in fierce offensive and defensive battles with the sect members.

Guo Peng was planning a decisive battle with Wuyan, and when he saw this scene, he asked Nanlou to take five thousand Karasuma Essence Cavalry to Jixian County first, and unite with the sect members to fight against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

He will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet Wuyan, and immediately after the battle, he will lead his troops south to meet Nanlou and the sect members.

Nanlou obeyed Guo Peng's arrangement, entrusted his subordinates to Guo Peng, and led 5,000 people south to support Jixian County, and fought against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, Guo Peng himself led 4,000 Han cavalry and 6,000 Karasuma cavalry to Wuyan to meet the attack.

Guo Peng's soldiers and horses were at a disadvantage, while the cavalry of Wuyan's department had an advantage, 30,000 against 10,000, an overwhelming advantage, but in the ancient battlefield, the number of people was sometimes not necessarily an advantage.

After Wu Yan led the army to Yuyang, he replenished some supplies, and then drove directly to Shanggu County to govern Fuyang County, and if he wanted to attack Fuyang and enter Shanggu County, he needed to pass through Juyong Pass.
