Chapter 281: (Prologue)

"The sinner is willing to wear the sin for meritorious service in order to atone for the sins that have gone before."

On the night of Cheng Qingzhi's surrender, Shangguan Yin Feng hugged Yin Lihua and really slept peacefully, and Cheng Qingzhi also set off for Qingyun County the next day to recruit the Qi army in Chengpingzhong and Dezhou, Shangguan Yin Feng's arrangement for him was very simple, after Chengchang, Chengtai, Chengpingzhong, etc. all surrendered, let Cheng Qingzhi take a part of the army to Qingzhou to recruit Cheng Wenzhe, and then go south to recover the territory of the original Qi State occupied by Zhang Bu and other Red Mei troops.

Arrange everything, Shangguan Yin Feng crossed the Yellow River with the army and returned to Jinan City, now there are two things to deal with, first, it is Cheng Gongwu's youngest son Cheng Wuqing, the prince of Qi because of bad luck, fell into the hands of Shangguan Yin Feng, the traverser, and lost the Qi country that belongs to him in the future, and the problem of Shangguan Yin Feng's embarrassment lies in the problem of how to deal with Cheng Wuqing; Second, the Han army's Gaiyan Department had already resisted outside Liaocheng, and the Yanxiao Department, which was temporarily guarding Liaocheng, immediately sent messengers to Jinan to ask for help.

The original palace of Qi in Jinan, renamed 'Changsha Wang Xingyuan', Shangguan Yin Feng took Zhou Rou, Yin Lihua and Liang Yan and Liang Xin to live in this place that Cheng Gongwu was proud of.

A Jinyi guard lieutenant walked into the main hall and said to Shangguan Yin Feng: "Lord Qiqi, the Marquis of Dongping has led the troops to Jinan, this is General Chai's letter. ”

Shangguan Yin Feng read the letter carefully after receiving the letter handed by Huang Wei, which was written by Chai Shang, which detailed that all the Qi troops stationed in the surrounding counties and Hejian and other places in Cangzhou had withdrawn from the local area and retreated towards Dezhou, and he also recovered Cangzhou and other places.

After reading it, Shangguan Yin Feng couldn't help but sigh that Shen Lihua's brother Shen Lang died early, otherwise he would have been able to re-garrison Hejian.

That night, Shangguan Yin Feng also received the news again, Huang Wei anxiously woke up Shangguan Yin Feng when he was approaching Zishi, and there was a battle situation in Qingzhou about Cheng Wenzhe's defeat of Zhang Bu.

"The two sides fought in the slanted mountain valley outside Qingzhou City, and the two sides were originally evenly matched, but the Han army suddenly joined the battle from the other side, which made Cheng Wenzhe's army collapse suddenly, with heavy casualties, and countless trampled to death."

("History of the Cheng Han Empire * Biography of Cheng Wen Zhe": "Fighting in the valley of Qingzhou City, the Han army broke in, the army was in chaos, trampled on each other, and was defeated")

Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and thought after listening to it that Cheng Wenzhe would definitely have no heart to fight in this defeat, and he might be able to recruit his people, but he didn't have to: "Huang Wei, pass the order, let people go to Qingzhou to recruit Cheng Wenzhe, and repeat all the treatment to Cheng Wenzhe, and also, the fact that he is my eldest brother must also be expressed." ”

"No..."

Early the next morning, Shangguan Yin Feng announced the decision to send 100,000 troops to pacify Zhang Bu, so as to resolve this rebellion of the Red Mei Army that belonged to the original history as soon as possible.

History records Liu Xiutao's deep strategy, like a person who has crossed over, insight into all fighters, and arbitrariness, this Shangguan Yin Feng agrees very much, in addition to Liu Xiu, Wang Mang, who died early, is also a victim of this era, as mentioned above, the family is an important component of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's defeat is mainly because of the fundamental interests of the family, and most of those who rebelled are local powerful families, otherwise where did the rebel army get so much money and food to support the war.

And the cancer of the family is not something that Shangguan Yin Feng dares to touch, otherwise he will not consider the feelings of the people of Hebei to make Yuan Jingchu black and stinky, it is precisely because of this that Shandong counterinsurgency is also quite fearful, the most obvious is Cheng Wuqing, the prince of Qi State, Shangguan Yin Feng was also ordered to temporarily live in the palace of the original Qi State Palace, there are many people in Jinan who are interested in the Cheng clan, in addition to considering Cheng Gongwu is his father-in-law, but also think of the Cheng clan has been operating here for many years. Otherwise, once the Cheng clan is killed, it will be difficult for him to go south to quell the rebellion on the front foot, and Jinan will rebel and regenerate later, which is simply pediatric for the wealthy family with money and food.

"Our army is advancing in two ways, one is led by the king himself, leading the army of 50,000 from Qingzhou to the south, through the Changyang boundary to Langya, and the other road is also leading the army of 50,000, from Jinan directly south to Yanzhou, cutting off the connection between the Han army and Zhang Bu, this road is the most important, not only to block the pace of the Han army's advance, but also to face the attack from Zhang Bu, so the king decided to send a general who can fight well to lead the army."

Shangguan Yin Feng said and looked at the generals in the hall, and found that they were all looking at themselves with some excitement, this can't be blamed on these people, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service, there are three people in the hall who are most qualified to lead the troops, one is Li Yanqing, one is Huang Wei, and the last Qian Menglong, and Shangguan Yin Feng raised the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "Feng Chengqingzhi is the envoy of Shandong, Li Chengdong is the deputy envoy, the two of them each lead 20,000 troops, and He Qing leads 10,000 troops to support, and when Chengqingzhi and Li Chengdong arrive, they will immediately leave for Yanzhou." ”

This decision is a bit of a big surprise, Cheng Qingzhi is a demoted general, becoming the main general of the southern front, which is somewhat unacceptable, and Li Chengdong, a little hairy boy, realized well in the last Texas battlefield raid, but he has been shrinking in Wuyi County in the later stage, and with the addition of He Qing, a general with no background, it does make most people not optimistic about the combination of the southern front, Huang Wei wanted to speak and stopped, but he was very calm, he didn't want to touch Shangguan Yin Feng's moldy head, he himself followed Shangguan Yin Feng for so many years, But he knows very well the character of his lord.

"At the end of this year, the Shandong rebellion must be completely bulldozed, otherwise, you and other responsible generals will be held accountable."

"No..."

Fifteen days later, Cheng Qingzhi rushed to Jinan with Cheng Tai, Cheng Chang, Cheng Pingzhong and Liang Chao and other generals, the reason why it took so much time was also because the speed of hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the Yellow River was indeed too slow, coupled with tens of thousands of grain and grass baggage, which greatly delayed the march, and Li Chengdong arrived in Jinan five days ago, and had been waiting for Cheng Qingzhi's arrival after meeting with the official Yin Feng.

On May 24 of the second year of Fengtian, Shangguan Yin Feng sent 100,000 troops from Jinan to attack Zhang Bu and Gai Yan's headquarters in two ways, thus opening the final prelude to the suppression of the rebellion in Shandong.

And just before this point in time, many major events also happened in Nanyang.

At the beginning of May of the second year of Fengtian, Li Changrong and Li Changjie's army marched outside the city of Xiangyang, and the knock was blocked, Liang Xin bluntly said that the battle on the battlefield of Nanyang was fierce, and in order to ensure the safety of the southern part of Nanyang, Xiangyang was closed for six months.

Gongsun He, who received the news, immediately ordered the Li brothers to attack Xiangyang and not let go of all the troops in Xiangyang City.
