When Fei Huai led the army back to Yongcheng, Li Fengyun was leading the righteous army into the territory of Pengcheng County.
At noon, the rebels rested in a secluded field.
In a highly tense situation, the soldiers did not close their eyes for two days and two nights, ran more than 100 miles, and fought three battles. Fortunately, after three battles and three victories, countless captures were captured, and Yan zhòng stimulated the thieves who were hungry for a meal in the past, and were chased and killed like rats crossing the street to flee in all directions, all of them were extremely excited, and the potential in their bodies exploded to the fullest, but people's energy and physical strength were limited after all, and at this moment the soldiers of the righteous army urgently needed to sleep to recover their bodies.
However, nearly a thousand bureaucrats, soldiers, boatmen, sailors, merchants, and servants needed to be monitored to prevent them from fleeing, and the soldiers did not dare to close their eyes at all, so they could only take turns to take a nap, but this could not solve the fundamental problem.
Chen Rui, Lu Xingxing and others then took the initiative to ask Li Fengyun.
Li Fengyun disagreed, "If you want to make a person lose the power to resist, the easiest and most effective way is to make him tired all day long, and only think about two things every day, eat and sleep." ”
Chen Rui and the others were stunned. A few days ago, Li Fengyun practiced the thieves on the mountain every day, and this was the result. Don't say that he has the power to resist, and he doesn't even have the idea of resisting. At that time, Lu Xingxing's group of subordinates were still thinking about revenge, and after practicing for Li Fengyun for a few days, they just wanted to eat and sleep, and the thoughts of revenge had already been thrown out of the clouds.
"People die for money, birds die for food, and the greatest wish of a poor and tired person in life is to be fed and clothed, which is very easy to satisfy." Li Fengyun continued, "This time we have plundered a lot, except for rewarding the soldiers, the rest will be divided, and those who see it will have a share. ”
"When we rob the rich and give to the poor, whose poor do we help? Aren't these poor people? In this way, the hearts of the people will be stabilized. As soon as the hearts of the people are stable, we can organize them into regiments and expand the size of the rebel army, and the rebel army will be stronger, and it will be able to win greater battles and win more booty. And the more loot, the more the soldiers will get, which will further boost morale. In such a virtuous circle, the problem of the survival and development of the rebel army will be well solved. ”
It was originally a very complicated and tricky matter, but to Li Fengyun said this, it was simple and clear. This made everyone even more admirable. It's only been a few days, the rebel army has been booming, and the situation in Xu Yu is surging, the initiator is the white man in front of him, he can't do it if he doesn't admire, he is too powerful, and only two days ago, this was still unimaginable.
"Those people in Mangdang Mountain also need to be dealt with urgently." Li Fengyun said, "Zhang Feizhai suddenly poured in hundreds of people, there must be a crisis, and if this crisis is not resolved in time, it will definitely affect the exhibition of the righteous army." ”
Chen Rui was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say that you were robbing heavy troops with Han Yao?" If we return to Mangdang Mountain and widen the distance from Han Yao, won't it be conducive to our plundering of heavy troops? ”
"The reason why a certain person made an appointment with Han Yao to rob the heavy army together was because he was worried that he would abandon us and loot alone." Li Fengyun sneered, "If Han Yao swallows that batch of heavy soldiers alone, how can we show it?" Isn't he suppressed to death? ”
Everyone looked at each other, secretly shocked. Bai Shuai is scheming, and his methods are even more ruthless.
Chen Rui thought for a while, and then raised an objection, "The pursuers are coming at the tail end, if we turn to Mangdang Mountain, although we attract the pursuers away, it will help Han Yao raise the flag and rebel, but it is not conducive to our plundering of heavy troops." ”
"The pursuers won't be here for a while." Li Fengyun shook his hand and said, "Although Fei Huai is eager to pursue and kill, but Xia Ting and Yongcheng have fallen one after another, and Yingyang Mansion has lost another regiment, and the successive blows will inevitably make him overestimate our strength and dare not pursue rashly." Besides, after we entered Pengcheng County, we left the Zhenshu District of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion. Fei Huai without the consent of Pengcheng Zuo Xiaowei's Mansion, if he crossed the border to chase and kill without authorization, he would strictly disobey the order and be complicit in rebellion, so he would definitely not dare to cross the border to chase after him in the short term, but at the same time as urgently reporting to Zuo Xiaowei's Mansion, he concentrated his forces on dredging the canal channel first. With the crusade imminent, there is no doubt that ensuring the smooth passage of the canal is far more important than killing us. ”
Li Fengyun's analysis and inference are reasonable and irrefutable.
Chen Rui and the others were overjoyed, thank God, they could finally take a breath, no wonder Li Fengyun hurriedly led the army into the territory of Pengcheng County, it turned out that he had already made a bamboo in his chest and thought about the future.
"Then when will we return to Mangdang Mountain from Pengcheng County?" Chen Rui asked again.
"Our current task is to attract the Yingyang Mansion army from Qian County, so the large army cannot return to Mangdang Mountain, but find a place to rest and recuperate in the vicinity and expand the army on the spot. We do not hide our deeds and swagger in this area, which will inevitably provoke Fei Huai, and our purpose is to induce Fei Huai to cross the border in pursuit, so as to transfer the army of Yingyang Mansion from both sides of the Tongji Canal. ”
"Once Fei Huai crosses the border to chase and kill, we will immediately go north and lead him by the nose towards Mangdang Mountain."
Li Fengyun pointed at Chen Rui, "You immediately take the Yihuo brothers from the path to Mangdang Mountain day and night, and divide all the property on the mountain." ”
Chen Rui looked surprised, as if he was reluctant.
Li Fengyun didn't wait for him to speak, and said sharply, "Those who seek great things, don't be stubborn, let alone stingy. If you want the horses to run, and you want the horses not to eat grass, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? ”
"After you returned to the village, you immediately divided all the booty that Xia Ting had paid, and those who saw it had a share, one used it to buy and appease people's hearts, and the other unknowingly pulled these people onto our ship. Know that all who accept our gifts will be punished as complicity, and if our heads cannot be saved, they will not be spared. Since everyone is in the same boat, they are brothers, brothers, of course, there must be hardships and hardships, blessings and blessings, honor and disgrace, life and death. ”
Chen Rui secretly shouted ashamed, you are still vicious, tempting people with money, and deceiving people to rebel, no wonder you are confident in the expansion of the righteous army, and the foreshadowing is buried here. With your plan, the rebels attacked the city, burned and plundered, and then divided all the captured gains, benevolence and righteousness, and reputation, but countless civilians fell into your "trap" and finally had to embark on the road of rebellion. Ruthless, you are ruthless enough, you can't do it if you don't admire it.
Chen Rui was convinced, bowed down to receive the order, and had no objections.
"After the people's hearts are stabilized, they will immediately reorganize and form a group on the spot with the young and strong people who are coerced in the population. The rest were miscellaneous servants, serving the rebels, eating, living and retreating with the rebels, and discriminating equally in the distribution of property in order to retain them and make them loyal to the rebels, and the survival of the rebels must be inseparable from the support of a large number of loyal people. If you want to take it, you must give it first. If you want to gain, you must pay. This is a simple and unrepeatable truth. ”
Chen Rui fully accepted Li Fengyun's statement and said that he would resolutely follow Li Fengyun's orders and never compromise in the process of execution.
"Brigade Marshal, when do you estimate when you will go north and join someone?"
Li Fengyun fell into deep thought, his expression was solemn, as if he was about to make some serious decision.
Although everyone was puzzled, they already had great trust in Li Fengyun, and the decision he made was definitely beneficial to the righteous army, so no one disturbed him and waited quietly.
After a long time, Li Fengyun said solemnly, "After Mr. returned to the mountain to stabilize the hearts of the people and form an army, he asked everyone on the mountain to pack up, only pick up some necessary items and bring them, and then completely withdraw from Mangdang Mountain. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.
Completely withdraw? Chen Rui was incredulous, "Do you want us to give up Mangdang Mountain?" Give up Zhang Feizhai? Didn't you say before that the rebels wanted to use Mangdang Mountain as a base to seek survival and exhibition? ”
Li Fengyun pondered for a moment, and said in a low tone, "After we plunder the heavy army, the imperial court will issue an order to encircle and suppress it. Once the Yingyangfu army in Henan, Qilu, Xuyu and other places gathered from all sides, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Mangdang Mountain, we would be unable to fly and would be defeated in an instant. ”
"But that's not what you said before." Han Shou was a native of Mangdangshan, he didn't want to leave home, and when he heard Li Fengyun's defense, he couldn't help but ask angrily, "You are lying to us, you have been lying to us." ”
Li Fengyun asked unceremoniously, "At that time, a certain person went up the mountain alone, and he was alone and sat on the top spot with a long knife in his hand, if he didn't lie to you, how could he win your support?" Without your support, how could there be three victories now? But after three victories in three battles, are we stronger? Is it possible to fight the Eagle Yang Mansion? No, the truth is the opposite, we have become the target of the public, we have become the target of the Eagle Yang Mansion, we have been chased by the Eagle Yang Mansion and hidden, otherwise why would we sit here now to discuss the evacuation of Mangdang Mountain? ”
"We are expanding our army, we will have heavy troops soon, our strength will skyrocket, we will soon be able to fight against Yingyang Mansion, we have no need to evacuate Mangdang Mountain at all." Han Shou mustered up his courage and argued with reason, "Yes, we have become the target of Yingyang Mansion, and the imperial court will also issue an order to kill, no matter where we are, we will be surrounded and suppressed by Yingyang Mansion, in this case, we need Mangdang Mountain even more." With the geographical advantage of Mangdang Mountain, we can still support it, and we can still deal with Yingyang Mansion, on the contrary, if there is no geographical advantage, we will not have any advantage, and we will inevitably be defeated. ”
Li Fengyun scoffed, "Mangdang Mountain is a dead land, if you are trapped in Mangdang Mountain, you will definitely die if you tie your hands and feet, and jump out of this dead land, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, we can go wherever we want, we can attack the city all the way, we can fight to nourish the war, we can continue to grow, sharpen and grow in the battle, we always control the initiative, we always control our own destiny, we can do whatever we want, dominate the world." ”
"Excuse me, which is better or worse than these two strategies? Excuse me, is it better for us to be trapped to the death, or to dominate the world? Excuse me, should we let a group of honest boatmen, sailors, and farmers who can't even shoot arrows go to their deaths with heavy troops, or should we train them, temper them, and use battle after battle to temper them into loyal and strong soldiers in a hundred battles? ”
Han Shou was speechless, he admitted that Li Fengyun was right, but he didn't know the future, he didn't know how big Middle-earth was, just like a frog at the bottom of a well, he only saw a big slapp, so he was afraid of the unknowable future, afraid of the world outside the well, and he didn't want to leave his home at the bottom of the well.
Everyone was silent, each contemplating.
In the past two days, Li Fengyun has controlled the development of the situation, the decision-making of the righteous army, and the mentality of the leaders of the righteous army. Everyone ran behind Li Fengyun, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't keep up with Li Fengyun's footsteps, which made everyone feel that the distance between them and Li Fengyun was getting bigger and bigger. Li Fengyun is like a crazy coachman, driving the carriage of the righteous army, running for his life. After fighting Xia Ting and Yongcheng, after fighting Yongcheng and going to loot the heavy soldiers, the heavy soldiers have not yet been robbed, he is going to evacuate Mangdang Mountain and fight in all directions, where is he going to take the righteous army? What was the real purpose of his rebellion? What are his big plans for the future?
"Brigade Marshal, where are you going to take us?" Xu Shisan, who has always been silent, asked the common voice on behalf of everyone at the critical moment, where are you going to take us?
Li Fengyun had no intention of concealing it, spread out the map, and pointed to one of them.
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly it was like this.
"Need some reason?" Li Fengyun asked.
Everyone shook their heads, and there were no more objections.
