Since Meng Rang began to attack Langya County, Li Fengyun sent a large number of scouts to pay close attention to the situation in Langya, and monitored the Surabaya line in Lu County and the Tengcheng, Changxi and Lanling lines in the north of Pengcheng around the clock, and even sent scouts into Xiapi County to investigate the military situation in the area of Tancheng, and did his best to grasp any abnormalities that might occur in the eastern, southern, and western directions of Mengcheng.

Li Fengyun also asked Xu Shisan to take his two cronies down the mountain, along the border between Lu County and Pengcheng County, day and night, and rushed to Jiyin County and Dong County to find Xu Shiyun and Shan Xiongxin in order to re-establish contact.

Mengshan is only more than 400 miles away from Jiyin County, separated by Lu County and Pengcheng County, if there is no customs clearance paperwork, it is difficult to move an inch, but fortunately, Lu County and Pengcheng County belong to two different regions, the Qi people and Chu people in the border area have their own interests, and the conflicts are continuous, and the shape of this area is complex and difficult to govern, so it is convenient for thieves to haunt.

According to Li Fengyun's estimate, the Eastern Expedition is imminent, the Eastern Capital and Gyeonggi Region will be heavily guarded, and there are also heavy troops on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and the situation in Dongjun was very tense some time ago, so Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyun and Shan Xiongxin and others will not dare to hide in Wagang in Dongjun, nor will they hang around on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and the best hiding place is Jiyin County, which is close to Dongjun and Tongji Canal.

Wang Yaohan and Wang Bodang brothers are from Jiyang, Wang Dangren is from Waihuang, Shan Xiongxin is from Jiyin, and Xu Shixian's hometown is from Lihu, and Lihu is close to Jiyin County. There are so many heroes in the Wagang family who are in Jiyin, it is conceivable that their power in Jiyin must be very large, and their roots are very deep, which is enough to ensure that they are hiding and waiting for the opportunity to move.

In front of Xu Shisan's two cronies and subordinates, Li Fengyun spread out the map and drew a circle on both sides of the Tongji Canal, where Dongjun, Xingyang, Jiyin and Liangjun were all in this circle. Then his fingers followed the junction of Lu County and Pengcheng County until they reached Mengshan. He drew a circle around Mengshan, and Lu County, Pengcheng County, and Langya County were all in this circle.

"We occupy Mengshan, across Qilu and Xuzhou, it seems that the territory is not small, but in fact the exhibition space is very narrow, if we do not stand a little higher, see a little farther, and formulate a forward-looking exhibition strategy, we will be caught in the middle of the official army of Qilu and Xuzhou, and it will be difficult."

Li Fengyun's fingers tapped lightly on the map, his expression solemn.

In fact, Li Fengyun doesn't need to remind him of this, everyone knows it. Running from Tongji Canal to Mengshan is just a solution to the existential crisis, everyone can sleep peacefully, and there is no need to worry about the officers and soldiers suddenly killing out, but after waking up, looking at the mountains and mountains in front of them, there is a feeling of being trapped in a cage. Mengshan can protect the rebels, but it also imprisons the rebels and restricts the exhibition of the rebels. If the rebels want to show, they must fight outside the mountain, but there are enemies outside the mountain, and if they are alone, how long can they hold out?

"If we want to exhibit, we must first destroy the north-south flanking momentum formed by the official armies of Qilu and Xuzhou against Mengshan." Li Fengyun continued, "There are two strategies. One is to rely on our own strength to kill them, which is obviously unrealistic. Our strength is far from sufficient, and it will be difficult for us to grow strong enough to compete with the officers and armies of Qilu and Xuzhou in the next few years. Another strategy is to rely on external forces, rely on reinforcements, and rely on allies. Once we have strong foreign aid, then when the official armies of Qilu and Xuzhou attack Mengshan in the north and south, we and our allies will attack Qilu or Xuzhou in the east and west, so as to form a counterweight to the official army. Once the confrontation is in place and we are in a stalemate with the official army, then we will have the best opportunity to show our strength. ”

Xu Shisan and his two brothers finally understood that Li Fengyun's meaning was very simple, and persuaded Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and other Wagang people to raise their banners and rebel.

At present, it is impossible for Xu Shiyun to rebel, once he rebels, the Lihu Xu family will be wiped out, and the fate of the Lihu Xu family is not completely controlled in the hands of Xu Gai and Xu Shixun father and son, and the interests of many wealthy families in Shandong are involved behind them. Pulling the whole body, Xu Shiyun may be determined to take a big gamble with the Lihu Xu family, but the wealthy families behind the Lihu Xu family will definitely not give Xu Shiyun this crazy opportunity, unless they themselves "mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect themselves", Xu Shiyun can do whatever he wants.

However, Zhai Kuan, Zhai Rang's brothers, as well as Shan Xiongxin, as well as Wang Dangren, Wang Yaohan, Wang Bodang's brothers and others, they are either wanted by the imperial court, or they are affected by Zhai Rang and are monitored by the government, and there is a danger of family destruction at any time, but they can raise the flag to rebel. They don't rebel or die, but there is still a glimmer of life in the rebellion, and taking a step back, even if the rebellion fails, at least before the head falls, it can be regarded as revenge for the bureaucrats they hate.

"What does the general mean is to let Zhai Fasi raise the flag to rebel?"

This matter is serious, and Xu 13 must ask clearly.

Li Fengyun didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "In your opinion, how much influence does your young master have on Zhai Rang?" If the young master of your family tries his best to persuade Zhai Rang to rebel, will Zhai Rang consider raising the flag? ”

Xu Shisan shook his head, unable to answer. He is just the dead soldier of the Xu family, responsible for Xu Shiyun's safety, although he never leaves Xu Shiyun's side, but in fact, he knows very little about Xu Shiyun and Xu Shiyun's friends.

Li Fengyun thought for a moment, and then asked, "The county chief of Pengcheng County is called Cui Deben, who is from the Cui clan, but what his status in the Cui clan is, it is unknown. After you found Xu Dalang this time, I entrusted him to check it. ”

Xu Shisan nodded and wrote it down. Judging from Li Fengyun's attitude, the main purpose of going west to find the Wagang Zhuxiong this time is to re-establish contact, and as for whether the Wagang Zhuxiong can raise the banner to rebel, and whether they can form an east-west echo trend with the Wagang Zhuxiong in Henan and Qilu as Li Fengyun envisioned, it depends on many factors such as shape and luck, and it is not a matter of hope if you talk about it.

"General, I'm gone, and the time is not short. Officers and troops are coming from all sides, and Mengshan is in danger, so you have to take care. Xu Shisan said with concern.

Li Fengyun smiled and shook his hand, "There's no need to worry. It is about to snow, the heavy snow covers the mountain, the officers and soldiers cannot move an inch, and there is no danger at all in Mengshan. It's just that after the beginning of spring, the shape shì is severe. We ran out of food and had to go down the mountain, and the officers and troops had already surrounded Mengshan after a winter of encirclement and suppression, which was very unfavorable to us. ”

Li Fengyun's face turned stern, "If you want to reverse the impending crisis, the key is not how hard the army on the mountain trains, but your trip to Wagang. First you have to find Xu Dalang, and secondly, whether Zhai Rang is willing to raise the flag and rebel or not, it is far water that cannot save the near fire, and it will not help alleviate the crisis we face after the beginning of spring, and if we want to alleviate the crisis, the only way is to find a strong foreign aid for us through Xu Dalang. ”

Xu Shisan was secretly surprised. Strong foreign aid? The young master is just the son of a giant, except for money, he has neither identity nor status, what strong foreign aid can he find? Xu Shisan couldn't figure it out, but he didn't intend to ask clearly, in his opinion, as long as he brought Li Fengyun's message, the young master would definitely be able to comprehend it, and he would definitely be able to guess Li Fengyun's true intentions.

"Third, you must tell Xu Dalang clearly and unambiguously that the core contradiction in today's Middle Earth is reform or conservatism. The series of games between the Guanlong magnates and the Shandong magnates around the ruling power actually stem from this fundamental contradiction, and to solve this fundamental contradiction, top-down is a strategy, and bottom-up is also a strategy. If these two strategies can be implemented at the same time, forming a trend of pinching up and down, it will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Xu Shisan snorted and wrote it down word for word, as for the mystery behind these words, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know. With his status, some secrets can be known, but some secrets should not be known in any case, so as not to bring unwarranted disasters to himself and lose his life.

Among the secrets that Xu Shisan knew, including the hideouts set up by the Lihu Xu clan in various places. He and his two brothers rushed to Jiyin County day and night, found a hiding place for the Xu family, and then sent a message to the Xu family's Lihu main hall through a secret channel.

Contrary to Xu Shisan's expectations, only two days later, Xu Shiyun appeared in front of him.

Li Fengyun's inference was correct, the Wagang Zhuxiong was indeed hiding in Jiyin County, and they were also hiding in a local manor. Zhai Kuan and Zhai Rang brothers have a world friend in Jiyin County, named Fang Xianbo, who is a declining nobleman in Jiyin County, and it is he who gave the Zhai brothers a place to hide. Xu Shiyun came to see the Zhai family when he had time and informed the two brothers about the situation outside, but he suddenly received a message from Xu Shisantong's secret channel. Xu Shiyun was surprised and delighted, and saw Xu Shisan as quickly as possible.

"Where is Brother now? Is it safe? How did you get back? ”

Xu Shiyun was very excited, and while helping up the thirteen brothers who were kneeling on the ground, he asked eagerly, because he was nervous, he was a little panicked, and asked a lot of questions in one breath.

Xu Shisan was not in a hurry, he was a dead soldier, and in the past few months, he had struggled on the edge of life and death day and night, and his psychology was very strong, he was calm at the moment, very calm, and told all the things that happened after following Li Fengyun to Mangdang Mountain, no matter how big or small, and told them in detail, even including some of the high-level secrets of the rebel army that he knew.

Xu Shiyun listened carefully, and as Xu Shisan's narration came, his mood fluctuated, and he exclaimed from time to time. Li Fengyun is too mysterious, and the fierce strength he showed in the crisis made his mystery even stronger, and it also made Xu Shiyun's heart to explore the truth stronger.

Xu Shiyun has always been inquiring about Li Fengyun's news, and Li Fengyun and the heroes of Mangdang Mountain burned, killed and plundered on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and were invincible, and the movement was too big, so that all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, but the truth was covered up, but suddenly, Li Fengyun and the Zhuxiong of Mangdang Mountain disappeared without a trace, no one knew their whereabouts, all kinds of speculations were there, and the most reliable guess was that under the siege and interception of the official army, they had to cross the Huai to the south. Across the Huai River, it is difficult to find out the news, although the Xu family's fleet is all over the major river systems in the south, but if Li Fengyun and Mangdangshan Zhuxiong have the intention to hide, it is difficult to capture the information.

Xu Shiyun was worried about this. Although Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin and others have different mentalities, they are also very concerned and try their best to investigate. In any case, Li Fengyun has repeatedly helped each other when the Wagang Zhuxiong is in danger, and everyone has this kindness in their hearts, and now that they are in trouble, part of the reason is to save the Wagang Zhuxiong.

Now that Xu Shisan is back, all his questions have been answered, but the worries in his heart have increased unabated.
