As the army on Fan Li's side did not move forward and could no longer continue the counterattack, the army on the rebel side's side was preparing for a large-scale attack, and it was obvious that Fan Liqimen could no longer stay here.

In order not to die here, Fan Li's army finally moved to Dongliu on March 24, forget it, Fan Liang stayed in Qimen for one year and three months, to be honest, in terms of progress on the battlefield, he has no effect on the entire battle situation of the imperial court, but doesn't Fan Liang waste more than a year here? Definitely not!

Because Fan Liang did not advance the assault, he did not achieve a decisive victory in the battle, but he played a very key role in the situation of the whole war, this role is that he defended this place Qimen, blocking the rebel army from Jiujiang who is ready to aid all over the country, I Fan Liang can't get by, but don't think about your rebel army, just block you, I block you for a year and three months, the rebel army in front of me really can't be cleaned up, but you don't want to support the rebel army behind me.

In fact, this key role of Fan Liang ensured the victory of the siege of Anqing, so why is Anqing so important? Compared with the large war pattern of the whole country, what is the key to it?

Because it is the largest support point of the rebel army in the upper reaches of Nanzhou, to keep this, he can attack Wuzhou on the top, and he can protect Jinzhou on the bottom, which is mobile and has a buffer effect, and once Anqing is held down by the rebel army, not only Hu Linzhi's army can't go deep, but even Fan Li's water army, which is so powerful that it is claimed to control the Jiujiang River, he can't get through.

So when Fan Liang came back, his eyes kept staring at Anqing, what was Fan Li's thoughts? Your rebel army is in the ultimate confrontation with me, and my goal is not that you will not come to harass me, but that I will exterminate your rebel army.

Then, the extermination of the rebel army must deal with their so-called Jinzhou, but before taking Jinzhou, Anqing must be defeated, which Fan Li has made clear and clear in the previous strategic analysis report.

Therefore, Fan Liang held on, stayed in Qimen, and did not retreat, but also gave the siege of Anqing one more day, one more day, one more day...... time and advantages.

Did everyone find out, this time Fan Li was trapped in Qimen, Gao Ji came, Ma Ting worked hard, where did his younger brothers go? Why? Don't they all say that they lead troops? Where's it? It's in Anqing!

Fan Liang ordered his younger brother Fan Jiu to take over the siege of Anqing a long time ago, and lead the relevant armies, Fan Li's heart to besiege Anqing is so firm, including that he has been trapped in Qimen for so long, so dangerous, and so urgent, he is unmoved, and insists on telling his younger brother: Don't come! Hold on, you will give me Anqing!

When he was in the most difficult time, he wrote to his younger brother and said, you must hold on, if you can slaughter all the thieves in Anqing, then Chen Yu will definitely hate Li Xiu for not saving the north bank, and the two of them will definitely have problems in the court of thieves in the future, this is Fan Li wrote a letter to encourage his younger brother.

You must know that this is the most difficult time for Fan Li, so you said that Fan Li wrote a suicide note, wrote this and that, but can he have no backhand? Yes, but his backhand was bought by his own safety.

In the first month, the Qimen camp entered a very critical moment again, and he wrote a suicide note again, but despite this, Fan Li still insisted on writing to his younger brother, saying that Anqing you have to surround me, sooner or later Anqing will be taken, once Anqing is taken by us, it will definitely set off a chain reaction, a huge butterfly effect, in that case, it will be easy to turn up the uproar of the rebel army.

Then we know that Fan Li's withdrawal from Qimen was because of the urgent war, because he couldn't withdraw if he didn't leave, don't lose his life at that time, and at this time, Fan Li still wrote to his younger brother and said, once again emphasizing the importance of surrounding Anqing.

So where is Fan Li a person who simply leads soldiers to fight? Strategizing clearly what he can think of and do, including his younger brother Fan Jiu, didn't he say it before? Fan Jiu didn't listen to his eldest brother very much, Fan Li had already criticized him and said, don't take so much money home after you win the battle, Fan Jiu won't listen.

Fan Li said many times that you should not be so arrogant, bullying men and women, and in the fish and meat township, Fan Jiu did not listen. But afterwards, when Fan Jiu analyzed this battle, he was very convinced, saying that I can win this battle, I can get this great achievement, 70% of it depends on my brother, if my brother doesn't give me firm faith, I will never be able to stand up here all the time, I can't sit still.

So how did Fan Jiu fight? Just one word "around", what's the way? The old man is ruthless, what is Fan Jiu's nickname later? It's called Fan Tie Bucket, and if you fight, you will be surrounded by one move, that is, I will surround you to the end, and I will choke your water, electricity and gas, and I will make you unable to live.

Okay, Fan Liang finally held up the Qimen Pass, didn't die, and retreated to the east. Okay, I won't throw away Qimen, if I throw it away, I can't give it to you in vain, now I'm going to join forces with my brother to deal with Anqing.

For this matter, at this time, Fan Jiu had already surrounded Anqing for more than half a year. What's the big brother? This kid is ruthless, let me tell you, you said that under normal circumstances, we all tell jokes, saying that when I am hungry, you can eat in front of me, but your mouth is a little inhumane, but Fan Jiu, he will chirp, I will give you a smell, I am still blowing here, I am still showing off here, it is very bad.

At that time, it was said that in Anqing, and even in the whole of Jinzhou, the common people suffered both natural disasters and man-made disasters, and man-made disasters were wars, and natural disasters were all kinds of famines, the source of which was locust plagues or droughts.

It is said that during this period, what Yizi cannibalism, bone analysis and cooking, can be seen, human flesh has begun to be sold publicly, there is a price for selling, human flesh, how much is 1 catty in the market.

Speaking of Fan Jiu, in this case, his labor cost is very low. How did the eldest brother do it? Besiege I need to dig a trench! Who will dig it for me, will I let my soldiers dig it? I'm sorry, can I do this? Come, don't you have a plague? Aren't you unable to eat? I'll give you food.

So he posted a notice, saying that there were laborers nearby, and the strong ones should come to me, and I would have food here, and they would come and work for me.

As soon as the notice was posted, the hungry people in the vicinity went crazy, I came to work, I came to work for a mouthful of food, and helped Fan Jiu dig a big trench five zhang wide and two zhang deep around the entire Anqing City.

Five zhang wide, you can calculate, about a battle is more than three meters, five zhang 15 meters to 16 meters. Then two feet deep, 6 to 7 meters high, make such a big trench.
