If Duan Wencao wants to retreat with his whole body, he must establish a "tacit understanding" with Li Fengyun, otherwise there will be pits everywhere, and even if he sits at home, disaster will fall from the sky, but out of consideration of his vital interests, he does not dare and cannot establish a "tacit understanding" with Li Fengyun, so he is personally in a dilemma, and the local forces in southwest Lu are even more in a predicament.

The local forces in southwest Lu are definitely unwilling to lose their own interests again and again for the sake of a Duan Wencao and the Beihai Duan clan. It is foreseeable that when the Holy Lord and the center return to the Eastern Capital, whether it is to end the Eastern Crusade or continue the Eastern Crusade, it will set off a rebellion in the winter**, Li Fengyun and his alliance of the Righteous Army of Southwest Lu must be an important target of the encirclement and suppression of the official army, a big war that swept through Southwest Lu and affected Henan and Xuzhou has been touched, and after the war, Southwest Lu, as the main war area, will definitely suffer heavy losses, and may even become a ruin. How can the local forces in southwestern Shandong watch their own interests be lost?

The crisis in Lu County is here, the internal contradictions are fierce, and there is a rebel alliance on the outside, Duan Wencao has nothing to do, and he is at a loss.

What's going to happen? Li Baiyao originally wanted to ask Duan Wencao, what is your countermeasure? If it is useful to me, I can help you, but after hesitating for a long time, I still didn't ask.

Duan Wencao is a military general, before he was appointed as the Taishou of Lu County, he had no experience in presiding over local administrative affairs, and now the situation in Lu County has reached such a bad point, on the one hand, it is indeed related to Duan Wencao's lack of administrative management experience, but on the other hand, it is also directly related to the recent violent turmoil at home and abroad. Today, Duan Wencao spent a lot of effort to explain the situation in southwest Lu to Li Baiyao, in fact, he just wanted to ask him a word, what is the plan? What can you give me an idea?

Li Baiyao also had no countermeasures, but he hurried to Lu County, not to muddy the waters, but to verify the authenticity of a secret, in order to verify that he had to go to the Rebel Alliance, and at the same time, if he wanted to find a solution to the crisis in Lu County, the best way was to go to the Rebel Alliance to understand Li Fengyun's thoughts. Since you have to go to the Rebel Alliance and you have to meet Li Fengyun and his people, of course the two things can be done together.

"Make the king, know yourself and know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, from a certain point of view, you should take a trip to Mengshan."

In Duan Wencao's expectation, Li Baiyao finally came up with a countermeasure.

Duan Wencao had already had this intention, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Under the current situation, he no longer believes in the Lu people, and does not dare to send the Lu people over, and the key to the current crisis in southwest Lu is not Li Fengyun and the alliance of the righteous army, but the dispute between Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the emperor, so even if he sends the Lu people over, he will not be able to solve any problems, let alone achieve his goal. The appearance of Li Baiyao just helped him solve the problem of candidates, and the most important thing for this candidate is not whether he can win his trust, nor his ability, but the appropriate status and identity, which is the key to the key.

Duan Wencao personally sent Li Baiyao out of the county government, and Li Baiyao also kept his promise and was anxious, in fact, he was more anxious than Duan Wencao, and left the city early the next morning.

Under Kong Zhongqing's arrangement, Rencheng Xu secretly sent Li Baiyao and his party to Kang's father city.

At this moment, the general camp of the alliance was stationed on the west bank of Huan Gongdu outside Kangfu City, and the commanders of the armies inside and outside the alliance gathered in the general camp to listen to Li Fengyun's confidential news about the Weifu Army's Eastern Expedition on the one hand, and discuss countermeasures for the upcoming anti-encirclement and suppression battle on the other hand.

The commanders of the armies were shocked by the news of the fiasco of the Eastern Crusade. This news must be true, Qi King Yang Lan will not make it up randomly, and this unbelievable result further verifies Li Fengyun's magical prophetic ability, and at the same time further consolidates Li Fengyun's authority in the alliance. If Li Fengyun's predictions about the future situation in Middle-earth become a reality, then the future he planned for the Rebel Alliance will also become a reality, so that the news of the fiasco of the Eastern Crusade will bring positive effects to the alliance, everyone will have more confidence in the future, and the alliance will be more united and cohesive.

However, the reality is still harsh. The crisis of the Tongji Canal caused by the alliance's westward advance into the Central Plains this summer endangered the safety of the eastern capital and the progress of the Eastern Crusade, so after the Holy Lord and the central center returned to the Eastern Capital, the first object to be killed was the Righteous Alliance. Although the possibility of the expeditionary force coming back is very small, and even the Donglai Water Division may not be able to threaten the alliance, and the dilemma of insufficient troops in the Central Plains and Qilu Zhuying Yang is difficult to improve in the short term, but the 20,000 troops of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, are too lethal to the alliance, and the Xuzhou Zhuyingyang is forced by the pressure of the eastern capital, and it is inevitable to join the encirclement and suppression with the main force, in addition to the Jiangdu Weifu army south of the Huai River, if the eastern capital transfers them into the Qilu rebellion, then the opponent of the alliance is too strong, and the survival is worrying, so this winter, It was certainly the most difficult period for the Union.

As can be seen from the sand table deduction, the alliance is surrounded on all sides. Among them, the greatest threat to the alliance is the army of Xuzhou, and as for Yang Lan, the king of Qi, he can't have any illusions about it. The alliance has always been a "chess piece" for Qi Wang Yang Lan to make profits, especially when the alliance is in a bad situation or its strength is not good, and its use value is limited, it will inevitably be abandoned, so in the future battlefield of chaos, whether the alliance can maintain a "tacit understanding" with Qi Wang Yang Lan is that its own strength is excellent. In addition, Zhang Xutuo in the direction of Qi County, Shui Shi in the direction of Donglai, and Dou Xuan in Langya County posed a threat to the alliance.

Han Jinluo, a powerful man in Jibei, believes that there is no way out for the alliance to defend Mengshan, so it is better to take the initiative to jump out of the encirclement and seek a way out of the north and south of the river, so that the opponents of the alliance are only Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, the opponent's strength is limited, which is conducive to the survival of the alliance.

After some discussion, Han Jinluo's proposal was supported by many people.

According to Li Fengyun's deduction of the political situation in the eastern capital, the Eastern Crusade will continue, and the Holy Lord and the center will go to the battlefield in Liaodong next year. According to this deduction, as long as the alliance survives this winter, the existential crisis will be basically lifted, and the next step is to unite Ludong Haoxiong Wang Bo, Meng Rang and other righteous army leaders to defeat Zhang Xutuo, and then strive to plant the righteous flag throughout Qilu, according to Qilu and grow stronger, according to Qilu and try to achieve great causes. In this case, it is natural to avoid strong enemies, to jump out of the encirclement, and to firmly control the initiative, only in this way can it be possible to survive the long winter.

However, Han Jinluo's mention has a fatal flaw, that is, after two consecutive years of disasters in the north and south of the Great River, the population is sparse and the fields are barren. Although the raiding of the Tongji Canal did make the alliance profitable, the rapid expansion of the alliance army will soon consume the proceeds of these plunder, so this winter is useless for the alliance even if it grabs the territory, and the food will not suddenly appear on the snow-covered land, and if the alliance wants to survive, it can still fight and feed the war, and it has to enter the rich areas to burn and kill.

For this reason, Han Yao, the governor of the left-behind mansion, proposed to build a plan to go south to Xuzhou, but this construction was not supported by the heroes. If you go south, you will have to face a strong enemy, and you will have to fight with the Xuzhou army, and once the situation in Xuzhou is critical, affecting the safety of the Grand Canal, the eastern capital will inevitably transfer the Jiangdu army to cross the Huai to support, so the alliance will have the danger of being attacked by the enemy, if the king of Qi Yang Lan then pursues and kills, the alliance will fall into the encirclement of the three strong enemies, and there will be the disaster of the annihilation of the whole army.

The commanders of the various armies repeatedly deduced and argued fiercely, and failed to form a unified opinion for several days.

On this day, the handsome Xu Shiren reported to Li Fengyun, and someone from Ren Cheng came, accompanied by a secret envoy from Flawed Hill. Li Fengyun immediately invited Xiao Yi to go to Kang's father, meet with the secret envoy from Bianqiu, find out the intention, and if Duan Wencao was indeed sincere, he would invite the secret envoy to the general camp for specific discussions.

Xiao Yi hurried away, hurried back, and told Li Fengyun an unexpected news, the identity of the secret envoy from Bianqiu was very special, it was Shandong Rulin Taidou Anping Gong Li Baiyao.

Of course, Li Fengyun knew about Li Baiyao, his revered position in the Confucian Grove of Middle Earth, and his extraordinary influence in political circles, especially in the Shandong political group. Such a character cannot be driven by Duan Wencao, let alone run for Duan Wencao to make profits, so there is only one explanation for Li Baiyao's sudden appearance, Zhaojun Li "shot", and this hand stretched very far, from Hebei to Qilu, and with the huge power of Zhaojun Li, the magnitude of its plan can be imagined.

Li Fengyun immediately invited Xu Shiren, "Ren Cheng doesn't know anything about the identity of this secret envoy?" ”

Xu Shiren was puzzled, "The identity of the secret envoy is very special?" ”

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "This secret envoy is Li Baiyao, Anping Gong Li Baiyao." ”

Xu Shiren suddenly realized why Li Fengyun and Xiao Yi questioned him. Li Baiyao is a well-known magnate in the sea, such a big man has arrived in Lu County, how can the Xu family of Rencheng know nothing?

Xu Shiren immediately told Li Baiyao that he went to Yingyang Mansion in Surabaya to serve as an infantry captain in the fifth year of the Great Cause (UU9 AD). This incident was a sensation in Lu County at that time, but because Li Baiyao's political identity was too "sensitive", the Lu people stayed away from him for fear of being affected, and Li Baiyao himself was also very low-key, so the matter was quickly diluted, and those in the know were also silent. Last spring, Li Baiyao left Lu County on the pretext of going home to serve his mother, and the Lu people thought that he would never return, and of course they would not mention it.

Infantry captain? Li Fengyun and Xiao Yi looked at each other speechlessly.

Let a big man like Li Baiyao go to Yingyang Mansion as a grassroots officer, this is too incompatible, whose idea is this? What is the purpose? Of course, more importantly, Li Baiyao is returning to Lu County at this moment, what is the picture?
