On the night of the 18th, in Queshan, Li Fengyun convened a meeting of the commanders and commanders in the general camp of the alliance.

The current situation is very grim, the Hebei righteous army was defeated, suffered heavy losses, the morale of the army was sluggish, and the stricter was the shortage of food, although Li Fengyun gave support, but this was only an emergency, the alliance had tens of thousands of troops to eat, the gentleman took care of his roots, Li Fengyun could not fight indefinitely even if he was righteous, so he could not solve the problem of eating the people of Hebei.

However, it was Li Fengyun who actively planned the three-way righteous army to attack Zhang Xutuo, although the Hebei righteous army did not cross the river to the south within the time expected by Li Fengyun, and delayed the fighter, but anyway, in the end, they still went south, or gave Li Fengyun face, or realized the strategy of the three-way righteous army to attack Zhang Xutuo on the bright side, as for whether the Hebei righteous army had another purpose in going south, there is no point in pursuing it now, in fact, whether it is the alliance army, or the Changbai Mountain and Beihai righteous army, everyone has their own thoughts, They all want to use this war for personal gain, so no one is qualified to accuse others, so it is calculated that Li Fengyun will bear the big burden of the Hebei Righteous Army, share the weal and woe with the Hebei Righteous Army, and take the initiative to help the Hebei Righteous Army until they are safely sent back to Hebei.

The atmosphere inside the tent was very solemn. At present, the battle situation in Qi County is very unfavorable to the righteous army, the three-way official army occupies an absolute advantage, surrounding the three-way righteous army, and in the three-way righteous army, the Hebei righteous army has basically lost its combat effectiveness, the Changbai Mountain righteous army and the Beihai righteous army have disappeared, although the alliance army can still fight, but it is difficult to support alone, it is difficult to continue, what should I do next?

Although they still have 70,000 or 80,000 people, they can actually fight less than 20,000, and the most deadly thing is that these 20,000 people have no food, and they are a group of lambs to be slaughtered, so they have no right to speak in today's military discussion. The heroes of Hebei know that they are very low-key, and they are only looking forward to Li Fengyun and horses.

Li Fengyun is confident. At this point, the king of Qi, Yang Nan, effortlessly controlled the initiative on the battlefield of Qi County, which was too good news for Li Fengyun.

Now Zhang Xutuo is very passive, he can't set off big waves, if he is smart, he will be a low-key person, and he can still keep his life, if he is not smart, he will face the king of Qi, and his fate will be miserable. The Donglai Sailors, who were swimming in the Great River Waterway, were also passive, and if they joined forces with Zhang Xutuo to fight against Yang Lan, the king of Qi, the situation in Qi County and even Qilu would further deteriorate, which was contrary to the wishes of the Donglai Sailors. The reason why the Donglai sailors were not ashore for a long time and were unwilling to help Zhang Xutuo defend Licheng was that the sailors were unwilling to openly confront the king of Qi, unwilling to get involved in the battle for imperial unification, and unwilling to fall into the political whirlpool of nine deaths and lives, so he allowed the weak Zhang Xutuo to fight against Yang Lan, the king of Qi, alone, at the expense of Zhang Xutuo to take care of his own interests.

Not many people know about the political game hidden behind the situation in Qi County and even the entire Qilu County, and even fewer know it clearly, and the absolute asymmetry of this information has given Li Fengyun great convenience to profit from it

Li Fengyun analyzed the current situation in detail, in a word, if the rebel army wants to survive in a desperate situation, the only way to survive is to capture Licheng and grab enough grain, grass and weapons, otherwise the alliance will not be able to support it, and the Hebei rebel army protected by the alliance is also hopeless, not to mention returning to Hebei, and it is difficult to even survive.

Attack Licheng? In such a situation, do you have to do your best to attack Licheng and take a risk? The Hebei heroes were stunned and frightened, and they had a more intuitive understanding of Li Fengyun's style of acting.

The heroes of Hebei have no reason and courage to object, they have no food, and Li Fengyun will not go hungry to help them, so in the end, there is only one way left, go crazy with Li Fengyun, go to Licheng together, and there is no other way to do it.

Li Fengyun ordered that Cao Kun's Second Army, together with the Hebei Haoshuai Shi Ji Boudoir, stick to the line of Linyi and Queshan, and once the current Donglai Shui Division came from the direction of Zhu'a, or Zhang Xutuo came from the direction of Linji, it quickly shrank to the first line of defense of Queshan and resolutely prevented the officers and troops from crossing the river.

He also ordered Huo Xiaohan, the governor who had retreated to the front line of Changqing, Shengcheng and Sidujin, to immediately divide his troops into two routes, one under the command of Shuai Rentai, and lead the Ninth Army of the Alliance to stay in Sidujin, and meet Xu Shiyun to prepare to cross the river, and if the warships of the Donglai Naval Division blocked this section of the waterway, they would do their best to prevent the Imperial Naval Division from ascending6; One route was led by Huo Xiaohan, leading Shi Changhe's Tenth Army, Xu Shiren's Thirteenth Army, and 100,000 rushed to Queshan to join Cao Kun's Second Army and Hebei Haoshuai Shi Ji's Boudoir to defend Queshan.

Ordered Meng Haigong to lead the Seventh Army, Han Jinluo's Eleventh Army, to immediately establish a defensive line on the front line of Kuangshan in the southwest of Licheng, block the army of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and win enough time for the main force to attack the city.

Lu Xingxing and Shan Xiongxin were ordered to command the fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth, and seventeenth armies of the alliance to prepare for the siege overnight, and the siege battle began on the morning of the 19th.

Order the rest of the alliance armies on the Queshan battlefield, as well as the various units of the Hebei Righteous Army, cross the Jishui River overnight and enter the Licheng battlefield, and attack Licheng as quickly as possible.

On the evening of the same day, Yang Lan, the king of Qi who was far away in Zhongchuanshui, received a letter from Li Zixiong, who had led his army into Licheng, and Jia Wuben, the governor of Qi County who stayed in Licheng, "changed his face" overnight, which was full of mysteries.

On the 17th, Jia Wuben refused Li Zixiong to enter the city, and his attitude was very resolute, but after a night, Jia Wuben's attitude was subverted, he personally went out of the city to explain and apologize, and handed over Licheng, why is this? Did he change his mind and decide to defect to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, or was it from Zhang Xutuo's instructions? If this is Zhang Xutuo's instructions, what is Zhang Xutuo's purpose? Could it be that he was determined not to be a "fish and meat" to be slaughtered, and resolutely chose to serve the king of Qi? In that case, why didn't he personally sacrifice Licheng, but faked others? What's even more puzzling is that now, where is Zhang Xutuo? According to Li Fengyun's secret report, on the 17th, Zhang Xutuo and Li Fengyun fought fiercely in Queshan, and then took the initiative to evacuate and retreat in the direction of Linji and Zhangqiu.

King Qi hesitated, a little undecided, before figuring out Zhang Xutuo's whereabouts and purpose, it was better to be cautious, so as not to fall into the trap.

"What is Aiqing's opinion?" King Qi consulted Wei Fusi's opinion.

Wei Fusi stroked his beard coldly and asked, "King, is Zhang Xutuo important?" ”

King Qi shook his head, his eyes showing disdain. Zhang Xutuo is insignificant in his eyes, no matter whether Zhang Xutuo takes the initiative to take refuge or fight against him to the end, he can't stop him from controlling Qilu, let alone using Qilu's resources to expand his own strength.

"Since he is not important, then it doesn't matter if he is in Licheng and his army is not in Qi County?" Wei Fusi asked.

King Qi thought for a while, still shook his head, and then came to his senses and smiled slightly, "Aiqing suspects that he has escaped?" ”

"The shameless Jiangzuo people of the water master openly put on a dirty face, and forced Zhang Xutuo to confront the king, sacrificing Zhang Xutuo to protect their own interests. Of course, they have to run away. Wei Fusi sneered, "The sailor is not going ashore for a long time, and he allows the weak Zhang Xutuo to fight against the king, and wants to put him to death, which has actually given Zhang Xutuo a reason to escape from Qi County, although it is difficult for Zhang Xutuo to escape the responsibility of abandoning Qi County with these reasons, but as long as the sailor still does not go ashore after he escapes from Qi County, and completely exposes the ugly intentions of the Jiangzuo people, then he is equivalent to winning enough room for maneuver for himself, and the holy lord will investigate it in the future, if the Jiangzuo people are not punished, it will not be easy to deal with Zhang Xutuo, In this way, Zhang Xutuo escaped this mortal catastrophe. ”

"Aiqing is sure that Zhang Xutuo escaped?" King Qi wavered.

"If Zhang Xutuo wants to take refuge in the king, he should be near Licheng now." Wei Fusi said, "If Zhang Xutuo wanted to prevent the king from entering Licheng, he should also be near Licheng now, but he is nowhere to be found now. According to Li Fengyun's secret report, Changbai Mountain and the North Sea Pirates had lost contact with them, and before losing contact, it was Zhang Xutuo who led the army to retreat to the line of Linji and Zhangqiu. Wei Fusi looked at the thoughtful King of Qi and said with a pun, "It can be confirmed that Zhang Xutuo is fleeing from Qi County, and Mingzhe has gone to protect himself." ”

After careful consideration, the king of Qi made a decision and ordered the army to cross the Zhongchuan River on the 19th and march towards Licheng.

On the 19th, the rebels launched a fierce attack on Licheng, and the west and north gates became the key targets of the rebels.

On the morning of the 19th, Wang Bo led his army to withdraw to Huabuzhu Mountain and joined the alliance army. When Li Fengyun heard the news, he immediately crossed the river and met Wang Bo in Jinkou. After listening to Wang Bo's account of the battles in Linji and Zhangqiu, Li Fengyun immediately realized that Zhang Xutuo had fled and fled from Qi County, and with Zhang Xutuo's escape, the situation in Qi County had been completely controlled by Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the battle situation in Qi County was also very favorable to the righteous army.

Li Fengyun urgently reported to Wei Fuhei, asking him to choose an opportunity to march into Licheng, and then shot Li Zixiong in the city, and made an appointment in secret words, asking him to help him seize Licheng.

At noon on the 19th, Li Fengyun led the main force of the alliance, Hao Xiaode, Sun Xuanya, Liu Heimin, and Li Deyi led the main force of Hebei to enter the battlefield of Licheng.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Li Fengyun received a secret report that the army of King Qi was approaching Licheng, and it was only sixty miles away from Licheng.

Li Fengyun once again secretly wrote to Wei Fuhei, and made an appointment with him to achieve a tacit understanding on the battlefield of Licheng. shot out of the city again Li Zixiong, and agreed to capture Licheng at noon tonight.

On the evening of the 19th, Wu Benlang's general Li Shanheng led his army to Kuangshan and fought fiercely with Meng Haigong and Han Jinluo

The battle situation was suddenly tense, Li Fengyun ordered, all the armies did their best, and stormed the city at any cost, whether the righteous army could reverse the crisis was in this night.
