Li Fengyun urgently told Han Yao in Nancheng that Huo led the rear army to rush to the city to rendezvous, and as for the civil and military officials and troops who stayed in Nancheng, Han Yao had full authority to arrange them, and there was no need to ask for instructions.
Li Fengyun decided to attack Bian Cheng immediately. The noble gods of the soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that Lu County was still defenseless, and taking advantage of the emptiness of Bian Cheng's defense, took Bian Cheng in one fell swoop, seized the northern pass of Mengshan, and won the opportunity for the survival and development of the righteous army in Mengshan.
Li Fengyun ordered Chen Rui to lead two regiments to stay in Liyu City and temporarily take charge of the military and political affairs of the General's Mansion, and after Han Yao rushed to Liyu, Han Yao would be in charge of the General's Mansion.
After a night's rest, the next morning, Li Fengyun led the main force of the six regiments out and went straight to Baowei Mountain.
The distance between the city and the city is about 50 miles, and between the two cities is the tail mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Bian Cheng, and the Surabaya River that originates from the Beiwei Mountain goes around Bian Cheng, and another Zhushui that originates from the main peak of Mengshan Guishan meets Surabaya under Bian Cheng City, so Bian Cheng is located between a mountain and two rivers, the terrain is very dangerous, and it is the gateway to Mengshan Mountain, which is the throat connecting Lu County and Langya County, and its geographical location is also extremely important, and there is a team of eagle guards stationed there.
However, the current Bian Cheng is an undefended city.
After Wang Bo and Meng Rang went south from Qi County to Lu County, the situation in Lu County was urgent, and the Eagle Yang of Lu County was instructed by Taishou Duan Wencao, except for leaving a regiment of troops to Zhenshu Mansion Poor Hill, the remaining five regiments all entered the line of Juping and Liangfu to intercept the traitors from going south, and the team of Ying Yangwei stationed in Bian Cheng was also requisitioned and transferred north.
At dusk, the rebels easily took the pass of Pewei Mountain.
The pass of Baowei Mountain is the dividing point between Lu County and Langya County, with entry and exit checkpoints, and a post station, all of which are only a few dilapidated houses, and the customs order, post generals, etc. add up to less than ten people.
During the war years, this place was still very important, if the main artery between Qilu and Xuzhou was interrupted, you could pass Guò here to Linyi for transit, up to Donglai, down to Xuzhou, and still connect Qilu and Xuzhou together. But in peacetime, this is neither a strategic place, nor a rich place, poor mountains and rivers, no one pays attention, if there is not a toll checkpoint here, it is estimated that the pass has long been abandoned.
The rebels rested at the pass for a night, inquired about the situation in Bian Cheng from the mouths of Guan Ling and post generals, and heard that the army stationed in Bian Cheng had been away for many days, and could not help but be overjoyed.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Fengyun sent scouts, disguised as woodcutters in the mountains, and entered Bian Cheng to inquire about the news. Bian Cheng was the county seat before the unification of Middle Earth, when Surabaya City belonged to Bian County, and after the unification, the counties were redivided, and the two were reversed, Surabaya City was changed to a county seat, and Bian Cheng was subordinate to Surabaya County. As a result, Bian Cheng has become a small town at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, and its population has decreased sharply, but its city still has a certain scale, coupled with the dangerous terrain of two rivers and one mountain, it can still assume the heavy responsibility of the gateway to Mengshan.
Bian Cheng was neither defended nor defenseless, and of course the righteous army was familiar with it, pretending to be the army of Yingyang Mansion, beating drums and blowing trumpets, and swaggering into Bian Cheng, and took this Mengshan gateway without much effort.
At this point, the righteous army successfully advanced to Mengshan and completed the strategic plan of moving to Qilu, and the next step was to make every effort to base themselves on Mengshan and take root in Mengshan, and only in this way could the righteous army solve the basic survival problem.
Li Fengyun ordered that after a short rest, the officers and men of each regiment should immediately devote all their strength to the construction of the city's defense, and strive to build Biancheng into an impregnable and solid fortress in the shortest possible time, with Bian Cheng and the Beiwei Mountain Pass as the core and relying on the three major natural dangers of Surabaya, Zhushui, and Beiwei Mountain.
The soldiers were in a happy mood, and although they were tired and walking on thin ice all the way, they did not encounter any strong enemy in the process of advancing to Mengshan because they were tired and walking on thin ice, but because they had the advantage of being unprepared to attack the enemy, they did not encounter any strong enemy in the process of advancing into Mengshan, and completed the attack target with a momentum like a bamboo. In the short term, my own safety is basically guaranteed, and I can stop and breathe for a while, get a good night's sleep, and have a good meal. However, everyone knows that the strong enemy is around, and the Weifu Yingyang in Qilu and Xuzhou is eyeing Mengshan around, just wait for the eastern capital to find out the situation and order the two Weifu Yingyang to kill with all their might, then Mengshan will fall into the encirclement of the enemy, and the most difficult days for the righteous army will come.
In order to resist the attack of a strong enemy, Nanwu City and Bian Cheng, the two major passes in the north and south of Mengshan, became the lifeline of the rebel army. Once the rebels lost this line of life support, they had no choice but to flee into the deep mountains and old forests, and in the harsh situation of lack of food, defeat was only a matter of an overnight matter.
For this reason, after a full meal, after enjoying the joy of victory for a short time, the soldiers of the rebel army immediately took the initiative and consciously devoted themselves to the construction of the city defense, and did their best to work for their own survival.
Before the first heavy snow of winter came, the Weifu Yingyang of Qilu and Xuzhou was very likely to attack Mengshan, and the righteous army must be fully prepared for this, and must not be carried away by the victory in front of them and be blindly confident and optimistic.
Li Fengyun was in a hurry to write to Han Yao, and after the righteous army took the opportunity and entered Mengshan, they immediately faced attacks from strong enemies in the two directions of Qilu and Xuzhou. Xuzhou Dong Chun will not give up the slaughter of the righteous army, and the current Xuzhou army is killing at the end of the line, it is very likely to attack Nancheng, once Nancheng is recaptured by the enemy, then the back of the righteous army will be exposed to the enemy's knife, so Li Fengyun believes that when the righteous army controls Mengshan and builds the entire Mengshan defense, Nancheng will become one of the three major passes of Mengshan defense together with Bian Cheng and Nanwu City. For this reason, Li Fengyun asked Han Yao to leave the main force of the army in Nancheng, and rely on the steep terrain of Nancheng mountains and mountains to build a defensive battle array, while blocking the enemy attack in Xuzhou, posing a threat to the northern region of Xuzhou.
In the afternoon, the scouts who had been sent to inquire about the military situation in Surabaya City more than 40 miles away returned, and there was no garrison in Surabaya City, and there was no precaution against the crisis that roared from Mengshan.
To fight Surabaya City? Li Fengyun didn't think twice and decided to fight categorically. He had no choice, the rebel army lacked food and clothing, and Langya County was too poor, so he could only find a way from Lu County and Pengcheng County, but the army of Pengcheng County was staring at the rebel army at the border, and his only choice was to plunder in Lu County. It just so happened that now the army of Lu County was on the front line of Wenshui, and was pinned down by Wang Bo and Meng Rang's Changbai Mountain rebel army. Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again, take advantage of this rare opportunity, grab as much as you want.
Li Fengyun ordered Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming to take two regiments to fight Surabaya City and do their "old business".
"After we conquer Surabaya City, do we continue to advance along the Surabaya River and go to Qufu?"
After Lu Xingxing accepted the order, he did not leave immediately, but asked tentatively. Since the righteous army walked down Mangdang Mountain, Li Fengyun has always commanded the army to fight on the front line, and never let anyone leave his sight to lead the army to fight alone. The attack on Surabaya County is a big battle for the current rebel army, but Li Fengyun "let go" and let Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming lead the army to fight alone. This may be the result of "careful consideration" for Li Fengyun, and he has to let go when he should let go, otherwise the generals of the righteous army will not be able to grow up to be independent, but for Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, after experiencing a thrilling series of battles, although they have matured a lot, they are no longer those little thieves in the past, and they are no longer ignorant of military common sense, and they also have some experience of military command, but they also clearly see the gap between themselves and the grassroots officers of Yingyang Mansion, And the gap between them and Li Fengyun made them even more afraid, afraid of leading the army to fight alone. At this time, Li Fengyun let them take charge alone, and the apprehension in their hearts can be imagined.
Li Fengyun looked at Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, who were nervous, and smiled slightly, "If you have any ideas, you might as well come and listen to them, and we will discuss them together." Three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang. ”
This is Li Fengyun's consistent style, no matter how big or small the battle is, no matter how big or small the decision, he always gathers the officers around him, even if you are not qualified to participate in the discussion, you can observe, learn and improve. It doesn't matter if you don't have knowledge, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to read or write, but if you don't have the ideas and means to analyze and judge the situation, and if you don't have rich combat experience, you will inevitably be wiped out.
"Since we switched to Qilu, the road has been smooth, the key is that the enemy is unprepared to attack the enemy, no one thought that the rebel army active on both sides of the Tongji Canal would advance into Mengshan, and no one thought that an army wearing eagle uniforms would be a counter-army."
As soon as Lu Xingxing said this, Guo Ming interjected, "After leaving Qian County, no one even knew that we raised the flag and rebelled in Qian County. ”
"That's our advantage, and we can still use it right now." Lu Xingxing glared at Guo Ming dissatisfied, and continued, "Surabaya City should be defenseless, if nothing happens, we can go down in one go." From the map, Surabaya City is located in the valley of the Surabaya River, to the south of which are Fangshan and Qiuni Mountain, the population is sparse, the fields are limited, and the plunder is definitely limited, but after the Fangshan Mountain, into the Qufu realm, it is an endless plain. Qufu is a holy place of Confucianism, where scholars gather, and there is a high gate like Kong's, and its wealth can be imagined. Dozens of miles away from Qufu is the Lujun Mansion Fenqiu, and it has always been the center of Yanzhou, and the warehouse is full, if you can plunder it on a large scale, the income will be extremely rich. ”
Li Fengyun frowned slightly, turned his eyes to look at Guo Ming, who was eager to speak, and said with a smile, "Does Captain Guo also plan to kill Xiangqiu?" ”
"General, Surabaya City is about fifty miles away from Fangshan, about seventy miles away from Qufu, and about one hundred and twenty miles away from Flawed Hill." Guo Ming pointed to the map and said, "We don't know how many garrisons there are in Fangqiu, and we don't know if there are troops in Qufu, if we rush into the center of Yanzhou and form a lone army in depth, there will be a possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, so I don't agree with Captain Lu's strategy." I believe that our attack should stop at the foot of the defensive mountain. ”
Lu Xingxing was immediately annoyed and snorted coldly, "The general once said that after occupying Mengshan, he would take the initiative to attack Lu County to attract the Lu County army and help the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army break through the resistance of the official army. If we retreat in the mountains, do not fight Qufu, do not plunder the flawed hills, how can we achieve the goal of containing the enemy? ”
"We defeated Bian City, conquered Surabaya City, and marched to Qufu, which was enough to shock Lu County and attract Lu County troops." Guo Ming was not afraid of Lu Xingxing, his eyes widened, and he argued with reason, "The general said that although we have successfully advanced to Mengshan, our strength is weak and vulnerable, and then we must recuperate and accumulate strength, instead of being arrogant, blindly attacking, and taking the lives of our brothers as a child's play." ”
