In late September, the movement of the alliance army in the southwest of Shandong was more frequent, and more main forces entered the Jishui line, which not only alarmed the southern counties of Dongping and Jibei, but even alarmed the military and political brains of the Central Plains, Qilu and Xuzhou, and the rumors that Li Fengyun was going to cross the river to the north with the alliance army were even more noisy, so that the shape of the counties in the north of the Great River suddenly became tense, and many military and political chiefs in Hebei urgently implored Duan Da, the general of Zuo Yiwei, to lead the army from Zhuo County to the south along the Yongji Canal to suppress the thieves.

On September 24, Henggong desecrated the headquarters of the West Bank Alliance, and the commanders of the armies of the inner and outer governments gathered together.

On behalf of the alliance's command, Sima Yuan'an first announced the alliance's new army structure. The alliance has set up five road governors' offices, and on the basis of the original left, right, middle and three road governors' offices, the front and rear road governor's offices are added.

After specific consultations with the Wagang people, Zhai Rang and other Wagang leaders agreed to merge the Wagang Army into the alliance as a whole, and set up the Alliance's Qianlu Governor's Office, with Zhai Rang, the former governor, and Shan Xiongxin, the deputy governor. The Wagang Army now has more than 6,000 people, and on this basis, it is reorganized into the 16th and 17th armies of the alliance. According to the alliance system, each army has four prefectures, and the shortfall can be made up in future exhibitions.

The original left-behind governor's office was changed to the back road governor's office, with Han Yao and Wang Yang, deputy governor. It has two armies, the 14th Army of the Alliance, and Han Shou; The fifteenth army of the alliance, the unified army 6 flat.

When the alliance went west to the Central Plains, Chen Rui and Han Yao, who stayed in Mengshan, only had six regiments in their hands, and after expansion, there are now only ten regiments and two provinces, which is too far from the establishment of the two armies and eight provinces given by the command, but this is the descendant of Li Fengyun, the supreme commander of the alliance, and when the Central Plains was conquered westward, they sat in the rear to ensure the safety of Mengshan and the safety of the alliance's retreat.

The establishment of two armies represents not only the number of troops, but also the power and wealth brought by this number.

The power structure of today's alliance, after a series of victories and expansion, after a series of victories and expansion, is very different from the past, the most prominent of which is that Li Fengyun skillfully used the alliance command while his personal authority continued to increase, and gradually held the three major powers of military, political and financial affairs in his hands.

The most obvious example is that the Alliance's looting of the Tongji Canal, although part of it is occupied by the heroes, but most of it falls into the hands of the Alliance Command, and the reason is very simple, the robbery of the Tongji Canal requires the coordination and cooperation of the alliance's armies, and none of them can be missing, so in the distribution of wealth, it is certainly necessary to work more and get more, but it is necessary to take out a part to take care of others in order to take care of the interests of the entire team. The alliance has been exhibited, the team has progressed, and the individual talent has improved, this truth is too simple, it is impossible not to understand and support the wisdom of the heroes, so they all handed over a part of the looted income to the alliance command, and the command department came to "average wealth", but the result was different from their expectations, because they unknowingly "fattened" the alliance command, and the command "has money" and has a lot of money, on the one hand, it does take into account everyone's interests, and on the other hand, it is natural to use the wealth in hand, The largest Cheng dù "bought" the three major powers of military, political and financial affairs in the hands of the commanders.

Why did Zhai Rang and the Wagang people finally choose to compromise and merge into the alliance? There is no other reason, if you want to survive and develop, you need a steady stream of wealth, and if you want to get a steady stream of wealth, you must make the alliance bigger and stronger, so there are only two choices, either merge into the alliance, strengthen the strength of the alliance, and rely on a strong alliance to obtain a steady stream of wealth; Either leave the alliance, because the alliance is not a compassionate Bodhisattva, it is impossible to raise a "passer-by" with their own rations day after day, but under the current shape, it is too difficult to show alone, even if it is supported, it is just barely enough to make ends meet, as for the expansion of the growth is simply wishful thinking, so only from the minimum requirement of being fed, clothed and warm, Wagang people can only "collect" their ambitions for the time being, honestly follow the alliance, and everyone works together to make a living.

Now the alliance assumed part of the responsibility of "feeding" all the soldiers of the rebel army, and when the treasury allowed, it gave money and grain to silk silk according to the capitation, which in fact was the largest concentration of "financial power", and the "concentration" of financial power directly promoted the concentration of military and political power. However, at present, the alliance does not even have a fixed territory, so how can it maintain its own treasury? The looting proceeds are limited, and once they run out, how can the alliance feed tens of thousands of soldiers? Although self-reliance is necessary for the armies of the alliance in their current form, the consequence of self-reliance is inevitably to gradually break away from the control of the alliance, and once the alliance collapses, it will run counter to Li Fengyun's wishes, so if Li Fengyun wants to firmly control the alliance and control the military, political and financial power, he must find ways to obtain wealth, use wealth to feed the army, and strengthen his strength.

The Houlu Governor's Office has two armies, 8,000 people, and 8,000 military resources, so you can imagine the weight of this reward, but the heroes know that Li Fengyun is nominally a "heavy reward", but in fact, his left hand is in and his right hand is out, and all the money and grain are still in Li Fengyun's pocket, to put it bluntly, he is using the empty quota of 6,000 people in these two armies to leave enough money and grain reserves for the command to maintain his control over financial power.

Fortunately, Li Fengyun and Duan Wencao reached a compromise, and the alliance could obtain some grain in Lu County without using force, and these grains and other materials could help tens of thousands of troops and horses of the alliance survive this winter.

But what about next year? Li Fengyun's strategy was to fight with the north-south righteous army of northeastern Lu, defeat the official army, control Qilu, and then use southwestern Lu as a "territory" to expand and grow. In order to achieve this goal, two conditions must be met: First, we must occupy southwest Lu before spring ploughing next year, otherwise there will be no spring ploughing, where will the autumn grain come from? Second, we must firmly hold the "territory" in the summer and autumn of next year, otherwise even if the autumn grain harvest is abundant, it will have nothing to do with the alliance.

This immediately leads to a new problem, if the alliance wants to defeat the Qilu official army before next year's spring ploughing, in addition to Wang Bo and the Hebei righteous army to cross the river south in time, and the northeastern Shandong righteous army to actively cooperate, the alliance itself must also have the conditions to attack north in the early spring of next year, in other words, the alliance must not only defeat the encirclement and suppression of the official army in southwest Lu, Henan and Xuzhou before the beginning of spring, but also loot enough money and grain and other materials, if the food is only enough to maintain the survival of the alliance soldiers, then how to go north to fight?

Therefore, the decision made by the alliance command is to go south to Xuzhou in order to plunder enough money and grain, but in this way, the officers and troops of southwest Lu, Henan, Xuzhou and even Jiangdu will encircle and intercept the alliance on the Xuzhou battlefield, and the alliance wants to defeat the opponent on the Xuzhou battlefield, which is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Sima Yuan'an read out the operational deployment of the alliance command.

During the southward campaign, Shi Chenrui, the head of the Grand Governor's Mansion, continued to sit in Mengshan, and cooperated with Han Yao, the governor of the Back Road Governor's Office, while maintaining a "tacit understanding" with Duan Wencao, he grabbed the autumn grain in accordance with the secret agreement between the two sides to ensure that the alliance's treasury was sufficient.

Li Fengyun led the Great Governor's Mansion and the three armies of Huben, Fengyun and Hussars to fight southward, among which the Huben army in charge of Zhen Baoche was the vanguard army that went south.

The Central Route Governor's Office and the five armies under its jurisdiction, including the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, and 8th armies, went south to fight. Among them, the commander-in-chief Meng Haigong led the sixth, seventh, and eighth armies as the middle route army of the southern expedition. Deputy General Manager Lu Xingxing led the First and Second Armies to the Left Route Army of the Southern Expedition.

Guo Ming, deputy governor of the governor's office on the left, led the fourth and fifth armies, and Yue Gao, the commander of the governor's office on the right, led the third army of the alliance to the right army of the southern expedition.

The commander of the right road, Rentai, led the 9th and 10th armies to deploy in the area of Heshui and Jishui, and maintained the threat to Lu County while containing the Henan official army. The 13th Army, led by Deputy Commander Xu Shiren, was deployed in the area of Heshui and Surabaya, and was in the center to deal with Han Jinluo's and Han Yao's troops, and its main task was to cooperate with Han Yao's troops to maintain the alliance's frontal confrontation with the official army on the battlefield of Lujun, and prevent Duan Wencao's treachery from being behind the scenes.

Han Jinluo, the commander of the left road, led the 11th and 12th armies to deploy in the Jishui area northeast of Juyeze, maintaining the threat to Lu County while containing the officials and troops of Dongping, Jibei and Qi counties.

Zhai Rang, the commander of the front road, led the 16th and 17th armies to deploy in the southwest of Juyeze, and while containing the officers and troops in Dongjun and Jiyin, he actively coordinated with Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai, and Xu Shiren to ensure the alliance's actual control of the southwest Lu region.

After the operational arrangements were read out, there was silence in the tent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

It stands to reason that Li Fengyun has fully met the requirements of the heroes, and the heroes should be grateful to Li Fengyun and should be satisfied. Han Jinluo hopes to go north, hoping to return to Jibei, so he will deploy in the direction of Jibei; Shuai Rentai and Xu Shiren didn't want to fight in the south and didn't want to lose their strength, so they were deployed on the front line of Heji and Ji, both in their hometowns; Zhai Rang didn't want to go north or south, he just wanted to return to Henan under unfavorable circumstances, so Yu Bian deployed in the direction of Henan, worry-free.

However, in this way, in addition to Meng Haigong's three armies, the main forces of the army that went south to fight were basically Li Fengyun's descendants, and they were all the main forces of the alliance on the basis of the Cangtou Army. It's just that Li Fengyun's advantage is not easy to take advantage of, "eating other people's mouths is soft, and taking other people's hands is short", the independence and autonomy of the heroes and commanders have been eaten away by them, but they are unable to "resist", and as a result, they are getting deeper and deeper, and now it is difficult to even break away from the alliance. It's not that Li Fengyun doesn't allow them to break away from the alliance, but Li Fengyun's strength is growing too fast, and the heroes can't catch up, and the gap between the two sides' strength is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, it was a little difficult for Li Fengyun to eat them, but now he can eat them with one mouth, in this case, who dares to guarantee that Li Fengyun will keep his promise? Besides, the benefits of staying in the alliance now are far greater than leaving the alliance, of course, the heroes will not leave lightly, but the "ambitions" of the heroes are still there, so they are all "hiding" under the "big tree" of the alliance, while expanding and growing, while waiting for the opportunity to "fly freely".

The timing came unexpectedly. In this southward battle, Li Fengyun abandoned them and gave them the opportunity to "fly freely", it is certain that as long as Li Fengyun is defeated on the battlefield in Xuzhou, these heroes will definitely disperse in a hurry and go their separate ways.

But what if Li Fengyun wins? If Li Fengyun makes a lot of money on the battlefield in Xuzhou and his strength grows again, then even if Li Fengyun is willing to "share wealth", how much can the heroes get? How wide will the disparity in strength between them be? The disparity in strength is too great, can the heroes still be on an equal footing with Li Fengyun? Can you still compete with it? Can it still compete with it? I'm afraid that at that moment, it is not that they will take the initiative to break away from the alliance, but that Li Fengyun will take the initiative to drive them away, so as not to drag himself back, in other words, if they want to continue to stay in the alliance, they must surrender, they must surrender.

Li Fengyun did too "perfect" and was too impeccable, and as a result, the heroes suffered from gains and losses. Why is Li Fengyun so generous? So generous? Is he absolutely sure that he will defeat the official army? Thinking of the unbelievable "tacit understanding" established between him and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, this possibility is greatly increased.

Li Fengyun seemed to see through the thoughts of the heroes, smiled slightly, and shattered the luck psychology of the heroes with one sentence, "In this southward battle, our biggest enemy is not Yang Nan, the king of Qi, nor Liang Dezhong of Xuzhou, but the army from Jiangdu. ”

Jiangdu is the Yangzhou of the past, which is the place where the Holy Lord rose, and after more than ten years of hard work, its position in the Middle Earth has been comparable to that of the Eastern Capital and Xijing. The eastern capital is the capital, the western capital is the accompanying capital, and the Jiangdu is the second accompanying capital, and the number and force of its garrison are comparable to the eastern capital and the western capital. It is foreseeable that once the garrison army in Jiangdu crosses the Huai River and goes north, the alliance army will be in danger of annihilation.
