Han Yao and Meng Haigong have formed an alliance.

An alliance is beneficial to both sides. With the support of Meng Haigong of Jiyin, Han Yao can effectively relieve the heavy pressure of the officials and troops from Lujun and Pengcheng, and Meng Haigong has Han Yao as an ally, so he has one more way to retreat, and he can take the army to Mengshan as a last resort.

After receiving Li Fengyun's letter, Han Yao immediately sent an envoy to visit Meng Haigong and made an appointment to attack the front line of Zou County and Pingyang from the east and west, so as to cooperate with the attack of the main army of Mengshan on the battlefield on the northern front.

Meng Haigong agreed. Now the Qilu official army and Li Fengyun's main force of Mengshan are facing each other on the Yangguan line in the north of Lu County, the two sides are tense, and the big battle is about to touch, and the number of officers and troops in Zou Mountain and Pingyang in the south of Lu County is limited, and they are from Pengcheng, and they will not do their best to fight against the righteous army at any cost, so that Meng Haigong has the opportunity to enter Lu County to plunder, of course, he can't miss it. In addition, Han Yao wrote very clearly in his letter that the goal of the two sides was not to attack Zou City and Pingyang City, but to plunder the surrounding areas of these two cities in order to create a tense atmosphere, threaten Fubianqiu, and then put heavy pressure on the officers and troops on the battlefield on the northern front. Since there is no need to lose troops to attack the city, it is not to attack the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings, and the danger is not great, of course, he must cooperate, otherwise the Jiyin Righteous Army will be in trouble in the future, and how can he ask the Mengshan Righteous Army for help?

However, Meng Haigong was a little puzzled by Han Yao's strategy. In Meng Haigong's view, it is impossible for Zhang Xutuo to ignore Qi County, and sooner or later he will have to evacuate Lu County, so it is correct for the Mengshan Righteous Army to stick to the front line of Yangguan and confront the official army. The strength of the rebel army is limited, the decisive battle will be lost, and it can only hold on to the city, only to wait for the situation in Qi County to deteriorate, Zhang Xutuo and the Qi army withdraw, and Duan Wencao and the Lu army are left on the battlefield, and their strength is not strong enough to easily defeat the rebel army, so the decisive battle is impossible, and the two sides will continue to confront each other and stalemate. At that time, the Jiyin Righteous Army will cooperate with Han Yao's army to attack the front line of Zou Cheng and Pingyang, and the battle situation will be able to unfold in favor of the Righteous Army.

However, Han Yao was impatient, and now he would unite with the Jiyin Righteous Army to attack on the southern front, although this move would make the battle situation in Lu County more tense, but in fact, there were not many officers and troops who could contain it, and the threat to Fu Fangqiu was not great, Duan Wencao might not be able to send troops south to support Zou County, on the contrary, Duan Wencao was forced to attack the Mengshan Righteous Army with Zhang Xutuohuo, in order to defeat the Righteous Army and quickly reverse the crisis in Lu County. At present, the strength of the official army is strong, and once the war breaks out, the Mengshan righteous army is in danger, and it is very likely that it will be defeated and retreat from Mengshan.

Meng Haigong was suspicious, but because he did not understand the specific offensive and defensive strategies of the Mengshan Righteous Army, he was not good at questioning or giving warnings, so as not to be criticized. Considering that the defeat of the Mengshan Righteous Army was very likely, Meng Haigong was even more determined to take advantage of the current opportunity to go deep into Lu County to make a big profit. Now Meng Haigong still has a chance to plunder, when the Mengshan Righteous Army is defeated and flees into the deep mountains and old forests, there is only one righteous army left in Jiyin in the entire northwest of Lu, and the shape is bad, not to mention the capture of Lu County, I am afraid it will be difficult to even gain a foothold in Jiyin.

After Meng Haigong sent away Han Yao's secret envoy, he immediately ordered to gather the main force, cross the lotus water with fire, kill the territory of Lu County, plunder along both sides of Surabaya, and cooperate with Han Yao's righteous army to attack Zou Cheng and Pingyang.

Zou Cheng was in a hurry. Xiao Hao hurriedly reported Duan Wencao, and Meng Haigong, the thief of Jiyin, suddenly entered the territory of Zou County, and attacked Zou Cheng with Han Yao, the thief who was killed from the direction of Nancheng at the southern foot of Mengshan.

In addition, the cities of Yangping, Gaoping and Pingyang in Zou County have been attacked by the thief army, especially Pingyang City, which is between Zou City and Fangqiu, only 60 miles away from the house, a horse and Pingchuan, can be reached in an instant, once it falls, the southern gateway of Fangqiu is wide open, and there is no danger to defend, which will definitely affect the war on the northern front.

Duan Wencao was greatly anxious. Zhang Xutuo, who was responsible for the Qilu rebellion, was unwilling to do his best to suppress the thieves, let alone the Lanling Xiao family. This time, the Lanling Xiao clan went north to support, bringing all the regiments from their hometown, if the casualties were too large, the loss was the strength of the Lanling Xiao clan. This is purely a loss-making business, even if the Lanling Xiao clan is generous and righteous, but once it is related to the rise and fall of the family's honor and disgrace, the Lanling Xiao clan can only be sorry for Duan Wencao and abandon the city and leave.

"The thieves suddenly attacked Zou County, and their purpose was obviously to force the envoy to divide his troops." Niu Jinda calmly analyzed, "Once the envoy divides his troops, the strength of the Lu army on the battlefield on the northern front will be thin, so after Zhang Juncheng and the Qi army withdraw, the thieves can roar down." The king's army is insufficient, so he can only hold on to the city, and the thieves can take the opportunity to burn and plunder outside the city with impunity. ”

Duan Wencao frowned slightly, "In this way, the thieves are also in a hurry to attack?" ”

"Several bandit armies have converged, the number of troops has increased, and the number of people who eat has also increased, and in the barren land of Yimeng Mountain, how can there be enough food to supply tens of thousands of people to eat and drink?" Niu Jinda sneered, "If the white thief wants to gather all the thief armies together to strengthen his strength, the most important thing is to feed their stomachs, but the white thief obviously can't do it." If he doesn't have food in his hands, he can't win over all the thieves and commanders, let alone stabilize the morale of the army. During this time, he led his army out of the city every day to make an offensive posture, which seemed to take the initiative and boosted morale, but in fact he used this means to cover up the severe worries caused by the lack of food. ”

Duan Wencao thought for a long time and sighed, "The thief is strict and short of food, in fact, he can't last long, if Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Hao are willing to help, they will be able to win easily." ”

Niu Jinda looked at the haggard and depressed Duan Wencao, and sighed secretly.

Duan Wenzhen's death was too hard for the envoy. Today, Qilu is drifting and torrential, and the Qilu people are ruined at any time, but the mainstay has fallen, which is undoubtedly worse. Duan Wenzhen is gone, the protective umbrella of the Qilu people is gone, and the Guanlong people and Jiangzuo people are no longer afraid, and they will definitely take advantage of the chaotic situation in Qilu to spare no effort to attack the Qilu people and contain and weaken the local forces of Qilu. At this moment of crisis, Duan Wencao has no choice at all, in order to ensure the interests of the Qilu people, he can only rush to the front without hesitation, for this reason, he must preserve his strength, he must be cautious, he must ensure victory on the battlefield of chaos, no matter what, he can't fall, once he also falls, the Beihai Duan clan is hit hard, then the Qilu people can no longer resist the left and right attacks of the Guanlong and Jiangzuo people, and they will definitely be defeated.

Duan Wencao therefore became forward-looking, suffering from gains and losses, not only wanting to defeat the Mengshan thieves with the support of Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Hao, but also wanting to preserve his strength and avoid a decisive battle as much as possible, so he tried every means to find an excuse to perfunctory Zhang Xutuo, and repeatedly delayed the decisive battle. However, now it is not only Zhang Xutuo who urges him to start a decisive battle immediately, but the form is also incomprehensible, and the rapidly deteriorating battle situation in Lu County forced Duan Wencao to make up his mind and fight with all his might.

If Wang Bo, who fled north last year, together with Liu Badao, Hao Xiaode and other Hebei thieves, crossed the river to the south and went south with Zuo Junxing, Pei Changzi, Guo Fangzhen and other Ludong thieves to carry out a north-south attack on Qi County, then Qi County would definitely fall. Zhang Juncheng must have taken precautions against this, once the situation in Qi County deteriorates, he will definitely return, so his time in Lu County is very limited, and the Qi army may withdraw at any time. Niu Jinda bowed and persuaded hard, "Envoy, the sooner the decisive battle, the better, and don't hesitate." ”

Duan Wencao nodded again and again, agreeing with Niu Jinda's analysis.

He also knew that the sooner the decisive battle, the better, but he didn't want to lose his troops and lose his generals, and he didn't want his strength to be hit hard, and Zhang Xutuo didn't want to lose his troops and lose his generals, but he also wanted to preserve his strength, so that the two sides would inevitably clash in the arrangement of troops. Everyone wants to fight a decisive battle, but they don't want to use their army as the main force to attack and throw themselves into the decisive battlefield to fight the Mengshan bandit army, so it is conceivable that there is a huge risk in this battle, and there will be a flaw in the arrangement of troops, and once this flaw is caught by the Mengshan bandit army, the consequences will inevitably be severe.

"The letter told Zhang Juncheng that he had completed preparations for a decisive battle, and asked him to act according to the plan."

Duan Wencao decisively ordered, "Tell Xiao Hao again, the decisive battle is about to begin, please be sure to stick to the line of Zou Cheng and Pingyang, and firmly contain the thieves Meng Haigong and Han Yao, so as to help our Qi and Lu armies encircle and annihilate the main force of the thief army, successfully complete the decisive battle, and stabilize the situation in southwest Lu." ”

Niu Jinda was overjoyed, chattered repeatedly, and immediately planned to write a letter.

Zhang Xutuo withdrew, and the Qi army slowly withdrew to Wenyang along the south bank of Wenshui.

The rebels couldn't figure out the truth and the falsehood, and Chen Bing was on the front line of Yangguan and waited to see what happened.

Suddenly, the Qi army retreated in great strides, crossed Wenshui from the direction of Gangcheng overnight, and flew north into the territory of Jibei.

The rebel scouts rushed to Juping. The generals of the rebel army were anxiously waiting for the news, and they all cheered when they heard the news. Han Jinluo and other heroes were even more gearing up, urging Li Fengyun to immediately order the army to kill Gongqiu, Ningyang, Yuancheng and Qufu directly, and attack with all their might, so as to alleviate the stomach crisis by plundering grain.

Li Fengyun was as good as a stream, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered all the troops to send the main force to rush south, kill Gongqiu and Ningyang on the first line, and coerce Fubianqiu.

The Cangtou Army was the first to come out. Li Fengyun took the lead, waved his army and rushed forward, invincible, successively took Wenyang and Gangcheng, and then killed Gongqiu City along the east bank of the river, and at the same time secretly sent scouts to the north bank of Wenshui and the west bank of the river, and explored the traces of the Qi army around the clock.

Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche's Jibei Army, and Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan's Dongping Army marched hand in hand with the Cangtou Army and killed Yuancheng directly.

The defenders of Gongqiu held on to the city.

Li Fengyun led the main force around the city, and then entered ten miles, and stormed Ningyang City, where the second largest official warehouse in Lu County was located.

At the same time, the Jibei Army and the Dongping Army surrounded Yuancheng, but Han Jinluo and other four marshals did not start a siege battle in order to preserve their strength, but paid close attention to the movements in the direction of the Bianqiu, and only waited for the main force of the Lu army to kill out of the house, they could contain it, and they couldn't resist it, so they withdrew to the Yangguan line.

However, what puzzled the rebels was that the main force of the official army in the city did not dispatch, but allowed the rebels to attack the city and uproot, burn and plunder the periphery of the city.
