The First Army of the Alliance entered the north bank of the Jishui River in the early morning to set up defenses, and did not rest until around dawn.

Lu Xingxing had not slept all night and was exhausted, but in order to cooperate with the main force to cross the river to the north, he had to fight his spirit and discuss the feint attack strategy with Xiahou Zhe, the commander of the First Army, and Cao Kun, the commander of the Second Army. The three of them are all born in Jianghuai thieves, brothers in life and death, rose together in Mangdang, followed Li Fengyun to fight in the Quartet together, and now they are strong and confident, and they are no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past.

According to Li Fengyun's requirements, a feint attack must not only have a good appearance, but also control losses, but in addition to the three main forces directly under the Great Governor's Mansion in the alliance, the thirteen armies of the other three governments lack both combat experience and weapons, and have no combat effectiveness at all. The three of them pondered and meditated, anxious, exhausted and hungry, but neither sleepy nor eager to eat. Just when the three of them were sad and at a loss, the scouts reported urgently, and the officers and troops on the other side of the river were dispatched to cross the river to attack

The three of them were sad, and their eyes invariably showed surprise. Lu Xingxing waved his hand and called on the guards to quickly serve wine and meat, eat and drink enough to fight.

The purpose of the rebel army's feint across the river was to attract Wei Yunqi's attention and contain the main force of the official army. Now that Wei Yunqi took the initiative to attack, Lu Xingxing was of course happy, so that the purpose of the feint attack was easily achieved, but the battle situation had changed because of this, and many established strategies had to be adjusted in time.

"The official army suddenly attacked, did it show that my main force is going east?" Xiahou Zhe frowned deeply, thoughtful. Xiahou Zhe has passed the age of standing, his body is thin, and he has a pair of sharp eyes on his rugged face. When he and Lu Xingxing and others caused trouble to the Jianghuai waterway, they were famous for their cautiousness, deep scheming, and scheming. After the Mangdang uprising, he made many military exploits, and was quite famous in the Cangtou army, and won Li Fengyun's appreciation.

Lu Xingxing glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Last night, tens of thousands of troops entered and exited on the north bank of Jishui, and even if the official and military scouts were aware of it, they would have judged that our army was gathering to cross the river soon, and would not have deduced that our main force was quietly heading east. Taking a step back, even if the official army scouts showed part of our army moving east of the river and guessed its movements, they would not have thought that that army was actually all our main force. ”

"Brother, although Wei Yunqi's attack is beneficial to me, if we misestimate the shape and fail to accurately judge the purpose of Wei Yunqi's attack, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xiahou Zhe solemnly admonished, "If Wei Yunqi passes through a certain secret channel and knows that my main force is going east, so he crosses the river with all his strength to attack, and gives my first and second armies a head-on attack, then the tide of the battle will definitely be reversed, and even if Ming Gong has the talent to penetrate the heavens and the earth, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky." ”

The smile on Lu Xingxing's face gradually dissipated, and his eyes showed a solemn look. After a moment's hesitation, he turned his eyes to look at Cao Kun. Cao Kun is tall and strong, with a hideous scar on his right cheek, coupled with a pair of murderous eyes, which makes him look fierce and intimidating.

"Last night, our army moved too much, and it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to be ignorant." Cao Kun waved his hand, disapproving, "Based on a certain estimate, Wei Yunqi must have had a lot of guesses, and in order to confirm his guesses, he decided to attack to find out the truth." ”

"The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real." Lu Xingxing pursed his lips disdainfully, "No matter what the purpose of Wei Yunqi's sudden attack is, he will not fight with him." A certain has no strength, there is no way to fight, only retreat, he advances and I retreat, and he retreats and I advance. If he wants to play, he will play with him, let him do his best, and he will not want to find out the truth of so-and-so. ”

Xiahou Zhe nodded, "Since Brother has made a decision, then follow Brother A's order." ”

Lu Xingxing decisively ordered, "Tell all units of the First Army not to engage the enemy, and if the enemy crosses the river, the whole line will retreat." The Second Army was ordered to immediately pull out the camp and prepare for evacuation. ”

"Urgently report to the Ming Gong and the Grand Governor's Mansion, the enemy suddenly crossed the river to attack, the battle situation changed abruptly, and a certain general evacuated, and continued to deal with the enemy for the purpose of containment. If the enemy goes south, a certain general will join the head of Meng, retreat to the Cangyuan and Xiaohuang lines, and flank the enemy army before and after Ming Gong; If the enemy retreats immediately after attacking, with the intention of probing the truth and the truth, then a certain general will launch a counteroffensive against the enemy in accordance with the predetermined plan to achieve the purpose of containment. ”

"Tell General Meng about the battle situation on the front line, if our army has to withdraw to Cangyuan, please ask him to respond to it to ensure the safe retreat of our army."

Although the momentum was very strong, the morale of the officers and soldiers was not strong, and the struggle was not high, and the reason why they had to cross the river to fight was purely due to Wei Yunqi's coercion. Wei Yunqi is the deputy prefect of the Yushitai, he is embroidered and direct, he has the power to kill and take away, and disobeying his orders is purely looking for death.

More than a hundred ships laden with soldiers, to the deafening sound of drums, sailed off the embankment and headed for the opposite bank.

Xiahou Zhe, the commander of the First Army of the Alliance, stood on the embankment on the north bank, and when he saw the officers and troops beginning to cross the river, he ordered the evacuation, and the fifteen regiments of the three prefectures retreated five miles back to stand by, leaving only one prefecture and five regiments on the front line.

The officers and soldiers crossed the river along the river, not a single arrow was fired, not a single pawn was damaged, and the morale of the opening was suddenly high, and some arrogant and conceited regiment leaders who did not know whether to live or die immediately clamored to catch up. Yang Qian, who commanded the attack on crossing the river, did not hesitate and ordered the attack to advance, so as to attack instead of defend, so as to win enough time for the follow-up army to cross the river.

The officers and troops advanced three miles.

The rebels withdrew again. Xiahou Zhe led five regiments and 1,000 soldiers to keep a distance of five miles from the officers and soldiers, while the remaining 3,000 soldiers retreated ten miles away to join the Second Army of the Alliance, and slowly retreated under the unified command of Lu Xingxing.

Yang Qian didn't dare to advance further, fearing that the lone army would go deep and fall into the encirclement of the opponent. Scout 6 continued to report, and the thief army withdrew on all fronts, unhurried and orderly. Yang Qian was sure that the opponent was fully prepared, and there must be a trap ahead, so he urgently reported to Wei Yunqi.

When Wei Yunqi received the news, he felt very troubled.

Last night, the thief army on the north bank moved frequently, and it was suspected that a large number of thief troops had entered the position on the north bank, and the white thieves were about to cross the river, so Wei Yunqi became more and more determined to cross the river and attack.

This battle is to be defeated, but the purpose of defeating the battle is not only to "take oneself as bait", let the thieves in Henan run rampant, let the Tongji Canal fall into a crisis of severance, and let many truths about the intention of certain political forces in the eastern capital to destroy the Eastern Crusade be revealed to the world, but also to take this opportunity to hit the local forces in Henan, to deal a fatal blow to the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and to give the people of Shandong a head-on blow.

However, contrary to his expectations, the thief army on the north bank retreated without a fight, so that his idea of killing the Henan people by the hands of the white thieves failed. Wei Yunqi's first thought was that there was a traitor under the account. If the Zheng clan in Xingyang had established a "tacit understanding" with the white thieves through secret channels, then there must be traitors under his account, and the people of Henan would never let Wei Yunqi kill people with a knife and slaughter them all. This leads to another question, this battle must be lost, Wei Yunqi is deliberately seeking defeat, and the Henan people are willing to put Wei Yunqi to death, so how can this Henan army survive in defeat?

Wei Yunqi suddenly had a guess. Zhai Rang and the Wagang Thief Army are an important force in the local forces of Henan, this force is used well, not only can the Xingyang Zheng clan control the situation in Henan and even the Tongji Canal like an arm, but also allow the Xingyang Zheng clan to skillfully maintain their vested interests, if the situation in Middle-earth suddenly changes, the heaven and earth are subverted, then this force can also ensure that the Xingyang Zheng clan, the ancient ship, sails smoothly in the stormy seas.

Since Zhai Rang and the Wagang Thief Army are so important to the Zheng clan of Xingyang and the Henan aristocratic group, they will inevitably be vigorously supported. Zhai Rang has just rebelled, the Wagang thieves are not strong, and they urgently need to show their strength, and the Henan army by the Jishui River has people and weapons, so wouldn't it just meet the needs of the Wagang thieves? It is speculated that the white thief is "virtual", the Wagang thief is "real", and this Henan army is the "internal response" of the Wagang thief.

Wei Yunqi repeatedly deduced, becoming more and more confident in his guesses. In order to verify, he ordered Yang Qian to continue the attack and advance.

Yang Qian's changes in the battle situation were also deduced, and the white thief's retreat without a fight revealed a lot of hidden secrets, and these secrets were directly related to the fierce game between the political forces in the eastern capital in Henan, and Wei Yunqi's order to continue the attack was actually equivalent to confirming some of Yang Qian's interpretations of the current battle situation.

The officers and troops continued to advance until the camp of the rebels was stationed. The camp of the rebels was evacuated, and all the baggage was removed, which is enough to show the determination of the white thief to "not fight". Since the white thief had no intention of crossing the river to attack, what was his purpose in "bluffing" on the north bank of Jishui? Yang Qian's imagination is full of ideas, and the most credible guess is that the white thief's "bluff" is just to cooperate with the Henan people to take down Wei Yunqi's head

Wei Yunqi was determined not to let the conspiracy of the Henan people succeed, and in the afternoon of the same day, he issued an order for the whole army to cross the river to the south to attack, and pursue and kill the rebels.

When Li Fengyun received the news, he was preparing to cross the river north from the direction of Jiyang, but the sudden change in the battle situation caught him off guard.

Li Fengyun's first thought was the same as Wei Yunqi's, suspecting that there was a conspiracy inside, otherwise Wei Yunqi would never have been able to cross the river and attack. In the case of the main force of the righteous army gathering on the north bank of Jishui, Wei Yunqi's assault across the river was equivalent to sending him to death, but when the main force of the righteous army left, the situation was different, and Wei Yunqi could completely take the righteous army by surprise.

"There's a mole?" Yat Siu reacted in the same way.

"Impossible." Li Mi shook his hand, "Although our movement last night was very large, there were very few people who knew the secret, except for a few of us, the other generals did not know the real purpose of the temporary change of guard, and they didn't know until after dawn that we were going to Jiyang, so there was no possibility of leaking secrets." In a certain judgment, it should be General Manager Lu's big stride retreat, which made Wei Yunqi make a new deduction about the Jishui battlefield, and then made a new deduction about the situation in Henan, and as a result, he quickly changed his attack strategy. ”

Li Fengyun pondered for a moment, and said to Yuan An, "Urgently tell the Wagang brothers, the battle situation has changed, please quickly advance to the south bank of Jishui, choose a place to cross the river, and decisively go south." ”

"Command all the armies, turn around and march westward, rush to Cangyuan, and attack from behind the official army."
