The three-way army of the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance marched in unison, like a roaring hurricane, setting off a shocking storm on both sides of the Jishui River.

Jiyang City trembled in the frenzy, Wei Baoluan and the bureaucrats of Jiyin County Government fell into a desperate situation, and some Jiyin local township regiments who had sworn to support Wei Baoluan saw the crowd of people outside the city, and immediately abandoned the city and fled.

Li Fengyun arrived at the city of Jiyang and ordered the three-way army to attack immediately, attack day and night, take Jiyang City at any cost, and open the passage into Gyeonggi.

He did not expect that these traitors had gone crazy and had lost their minds, knowing that they would encounter the powerful resistance of the Gyeonggi Trench Pass and that the powerful Gyeonggi garrison would give them a devastating blow, they still attacked forward without hesitation and did not know whether to live or die, and this suicidal attack not only pushed Wei Baoluan into the abyss, but also pushed countless Henan victims to a desperate situation.

Wei Baoluan 100,000 rushed to report to the Eastern Capital: the white thief is extremely evil, the crime is unforgivable, he threatens the government with the life and death of the victims of Henan to threaten the Eastern Capital, the shape has deteriorated to the extreme, a helpless, if the attack, the dead must be innocent victims, so the government and the East have the crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents, will be morally criticized and condemned, even if we finally defeat the traitor, will leave a reputation in history.

Wei Baoluan found a reason for himself to abandon Jiyang and flee from Jiyin. From a moral standpoint, his reasons are acceptable, but from a legal point of view, he, the county guard of Jiyin, must bear the responsibility for the fall of Jiyin, and it is absolutely impossible to try to put all the responsibility on the traitor.

Wei Baoluan only held out for an hour before giving up, fleeing to Xingyang with a few remnants of the defeated army

The righteous army took Jiyang, opened a warehouse to release grain, and the food was very limited, so the righteous army told the victims, the grain was robbed to the eastern capital and the government, if you want to save yourself, save the family, the only way to continue to attack, attack Gyeonggi, and plunder the big river and the Tongji canal waterway, for this reason, the righteous army needs more troops, and needs more brave to join the righteous army. Only by winning one victory after another can we survive tenaciously

The overwhelming victory of the rebels over the officials and soldiers made the victims see the hope of survival, but the continuous natural disasters, the greed and fraud of the government and the bullying of local forces plunged the victims into deep despair. Is it to die in despair, or to struggle with hope? If you don't join the rebels, you can only die in despair, and if you join the rebels, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. The victims have no choice, and since there is hope, of course they have to fight for hope and survive.

The victims joined the ranks of the rebels with unprecedented enthusiasm, and the number of the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance swelled rapidly, from less than 5,000 at the beginning of entering the Central Plains to more than 50,000.

Because the Cangtou army attacked the city all the way, it was invincible, invincible, the strongest, and the prestige of Bai Shuai was well known, so that the victims were proud to join the Cangtou Army, but the overcrowding forced the Cangtou Army to raise the "threshold" to join, even so, in a short period of time, the Cangtou Army also expanded to more than 20,000 people.

The Cangtou Army originally had sixteen regiments, two of which were under Chen Rui's orders and guarded Mengshan, four regiments were subject to Han Yao and stayed in Lu County, and the remaining ten regiments followed Li Fengyun to conquer. After the start of the Western Expedition, Li Fengyun took these ten regiments to the Central Plains, but these ten regiments were insufficient in number and all of them were short of personnel, and in fact there were only eight regiments of men. Suddenly, the Cangtou Army rapidly expanded to the scale of more than 20,000 people, and the number of people swelled more than ten times, and a series of difficulties brought about by this can be imagined, but fortunately, the more than 1,000 officers and men who entered the Central Plains to fight can be regarded as veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and the officer reserves of the Cangtou Army are relatively sufficient, so that the expansion of the army progresses smoothly, and it does not cause too much chaos, nor does it affect the morale and morale of the army, but the combat effectiveness of the army declines rapidly with the increase in numbers.

After conquering Jiyang, Li Fengyun convened the commanders of all armies to urgently discuss and solve a series of problems caused by the rapid expansion of the number of troops.

Although the Rebel Alliance is currently mired in disaster relief and crisis, the expansion of the army has achieved its pre-war goal. Before the war, Li Fengyun's goal was to expand the number of troops to more than 100,000 in the next five months, but now that the western expedition has not been around for less than a month, the number of troops has been expanded to more than 50,000. After intensive training and actual combat tempering, young and strong soldiers are elite soldiers and the main force, and if the Righteous Army Alliance can establish a team of 50,000 elite soldiers, its strength will be extraordinary, and it is possible to compete in the Central Plains. It's just that, with the current strength of the Rebel Alliance, building a team of 50,000 elite soldiers is purely a fool's dream, and 50,000 elite soldiers not only need young and strong soldiers, but also need money, and what can they do without money to equip, train and feed this team?

Therefore, the first countermeasure that Li Fengyun came up with at the military conference was to stop the expansion of the army and stop it immediately, otherwise the drawbacks brought about by the expansion of the army would be rapidly magnified, and the Righteous Alliance would lose not only its combat effectiveness, but also its own survival.

This crisis does not need to be analyzed and explained by Li Fengyun, and all the heroes know it. Your appetite is only so big, although there is a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of you, but you can't eat it, if you eat desperately regardless of your body, the result must be harmful, and it is possible to die. Expanding the army is a good thing, but the premise is that you must have the ability to expand the army, just like everyone wants to have three wives and four concubines, and they all want to raise a large group of children, but the question is that if you don't have the financial strength, what do you take to marry three wives and four concubines? How do you feed a large group of children?

Now the Cangtou army is overwhelmed, and Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong and other heroes are also anxious, so Li Fengyun's construction was immediately unanimously recognized by the heroes.

However, the rebel alliance has expanded to more than 50,000 troops, and it has already "eaten up," and the evil consequences of blind expansion have appeared, and we must find ways to solve the crisis, and the crisis to be solved is how to maintain the current combat effectiveness. Without combat effectiveness, the Western Expedition will fail, and the Western Expedition will fail, and the Righteous Alliance will be defeated like a mountain, and the one qiē that is obtained now will die in an instant, dust will return to dust, soil will return to earth, and there will be nothing left.

Li Fengyun came up with two plans. One is to continue to maintain the independence of the armed forces, and each army will immediately draw up a new system after the expansion of the army, and then complete the reorganization of the army as quickly as possible in accordance with the new system, so as to stabilize the morale of the army. However, because the main elite forces of the various armies are very limited, the reserve of officers is extremely insufficient, and if this plan is implemented, although it can quickly stabilize the army, it will not be able to curb the sharp decline in the army's combat effectiveness, that is to say, the western expedition is in fact unsustainable.

The reason why the victims of Henan enthusiastically joined the Righteous Army Alliance was because they saw the hope of survival, because the Righteous Army Alliance won one victory after another by attacking the city and opening one official warehouse after another, on the contrary, if the Righteous Army Alliance stopped fighting, retreated, or was beaten by the official army to lose their armor, their hopes were shattered, would they continue to stay in the Righteous Army? Of course not, they will definitely disperse in a hurry, because if they continue to stay in the rebels, they will definitely die, but it is better to flee, flee to the south where there is no disaster, and maybe find a way to live.

So Li Fengyun came up with a second plan, that is, each army divided its elite main force into three, and some of the elite main forces were formed into a new army, which was directly commanded by the Great Governor's Office to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Righteous Army Alliance; There is also a part of the elite main force and the strongest among the recruits, the most negative combat potential of the brave formation as a reserve army, to combat training, so that they can grow up quickly in the battle, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Righteous Alliance in the shortest possible time, considering that the battle of the Western Expedition is becoming more and more intense, this army is also directly commanded by the Great Governor's Office, so as to improve the overall combat capability of the Righteous Alliance; The remaining part of the elite main force is responsible for commanding and training new soldiers, and is also responsible for guarding the rear towns, raising and transporting grain and grass, organizing the disaster victims to produce and save themselves, etc., to ensure that the rebel alliance can digest and absorb the fruits of this crazy expansion as quickly as possible.

The benefits of this plan are self-evident, but the premise of its implementation is that from this moment on, all armies must give up their independent status to the greatest extent, and the commanders of all armies must hand over most of their power to the Grand Governor's Office, although it is temporary and forced by the form, but as long as the Western Expedition continues, the impact of this plan on the Righteous Army Alliance and every soldier in the Righteous Army Alliance is immeasurable, especially as Li Fengyun's prestige becomes higher and higher, and as the power of the Grand Governor's Office becomes heavier and heavier, Will the armies continue to maintain their independence? Will you be able to maintain your power?

Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong and other heroes were in a heavy mood, and the ideological struggle was very fierce. On the one hand, it is the survival and development of the army, and on the other hand, it is the loss of its own interests. If we continue to maintain the independence of each army and maintain our own rights, the Western Expedition will definitely not be able to continue, and once the Western Expedition is stopped, it will not be able to continue to "kidnap" the victims of Henan.

It is obvious that giving up one's independent position in the alliance and completely bundling one's own interests with Li Fengyun's interests is the only sensible and correct way at present.

At this point, the heroes finally realized that Li Fengyun's strategy of westward expedition to the Central Plains was nominally for everyone's development and growth, but in fact for his own development and growth.
