On the morning of the seventh day of the eighth month, the Yin World Division commanded Xiaoguo to fight hard towards Yicheng, and the momentum was like a bamboo, quickly approaching the city of Yicheng.

Xiaoguo's morale was greatly boosted, and the sudden subversion of the battle situation surprised the soldiers, yesterday the army was still surrounded by the rebels and was in danger, but after a night, it changed, and it became Xiaoguo chasing the rebels to fight, this is simply a miracle, the soldiers are of course happy, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

After a little resistance under the city of Yicheng, the rebels quickly withdrew, retreating in the direction of Puyin and Wuhui City, obviously to ensure their own retreat.

After the victory, the Xiaoguo soldiers cheered and thundered.

The city gate was wide open, and the Kamiya Taishou, who had been trapped for many days, led a group of county government bureaucrats out of the city to greet them, and the atmosphere was very warm.

At this moment, the Yin World Master received Duan Da's letter. Duan Da asked for help, saying that he was blocked by the rebels on the front line of the Juma River, and asked the Yin World Division to quickly go south to support.

The Yin World Master understood at a glance, and his slightly better mood immediately became bad again.

This is a game, a trap, although he and Duan Da are cautious, but they can't guard against it, under the "tacit understanding" and joint calculation of many forces such as the wealthy families in northern Hebei, the wealthy families of Youyan, the king of Qi and the white-haired thieves, they fell into this trap and fell into this bureau.

The white-haired thief's attack on Gaoyang was a bait in order to lure out the reinforcements from Zhuojun; When the Zhuojun reinforcements arrived in Shanggu, the white-haired thieves wantonly mobilized their troops in the areas of Juma River, Yishui and Laishui, making a false impression of feint to attack Zhuojun, so that the Zhuojun reinforcements made a wrong judgment on the battle situation, hesitated, hesitated, and even made the wrong decision to divide the troops into two ways to carry out a tentative attack; Then the Xiaoguo army fell into the encirclement of the rebels, and the white-haired thief took the opportunity to jam Duan Da's "throat", pinched Duan Da's "vital point", and forced Duan Da to sign an alliance under the city.

Today's battle situation has undergone subversive changes, not because Duan Da succeeded in attacking on the front line of the Juma River, but because Duan Da made compromises and concessions under the coercion of the white-haired thief, and since then, Duan Da's "handle" has been seized by the white-haired thief, and Duan Da has fallen into passivity. Although this "passivity" is very limited, it will not pose a fatal threat to Duan Da's career, nor will it affect Duan Da's use of the power of the white-haired thief to carry out the murder plan with a knife, but since the white-haired thief's "knife" has grasped Duan Da's "life" and has considerable autonomy, it will inevitably not be controlled by Duan Da. In other words, in the future, the two parties will not be in a master-slave relationship, but an equal cooperative relationship. This is terrifying, Duan Da is holding an out-of-control "knife" to kill, obviously unable to control the development of the situation in Youyan and even Northern Xinjiang, the consequences are unpredictable, and it is full of infinite variables.

However, Duan Da had no choice, he had to save the Yin World Master and the Xiaoguo Army, he had to save his career, and he had to maintain the "face" of the Holy Lord and the center to the greatest extent, so under the coercion of the white-haired thief, he could only be flexible and execute expedient measures, even if he didn't want this "double-edged knife" that could both kill and hurt himself, now he could only reluctantly hold this "knife" and take one step at a time.

Yin Shishi was very guilty, Duan Da fell into a predicament precisely because he was ineffective in attacking on the west bank of Laishui, and Duan Da was very righteous, for his brother "two ribs and knives", without hesitation, which made Yin Shishi very moved, and resolutely decided to stay in Zhuo County to fight side by side with Duan Da, sharing honor and disgrace, life and death.

The Yin Shishi invited Fan Wenchao, Qu Tushou and Yuan Li to take out Duan Da's letter of help.

The three Ori Chong Lang looked at each other, their faces were ugly, and the joy just now was gone. Obviously, their mission of this tentative attack was "completed" very well, and the white-haired thief was very "cooperative", not only fully demonstrating his strong strength, but also "helping" the Xiaoguo army to subvert the battle situation, turn defeat into victory, and win a "difficult" victory by "defeating" the rebels to solve the danger of Yicheng, and it is precisely because the victory of the Xiaoguo army is very difficult to win can better prove the strength of the rebels.

It's just that the battle situation has always been controlled by the white-haired thief, and the arrogant and noble Xiaoguo was played by a thief, which is really a great shame, and what is especially embarrassing is that such a shameful humiliation cannot be declared, and it must be rotten in the stomach, which is too depressing.

Finally, Yuan Li spoke, and his tone was calm, indicating that his mood had stabilized, "The purpose of this attack is to find out the reality of the rebels. He looked at the Yin World Master, exchanged glances with Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou, and then continued, "Through these two days of fighting, we already have an intuitive understanding of the strength of the rebels. We attacked on two fronts, and they fought on two fronts, but we were blocked by Yicheng, and Duan remained at the Juma River, which shows that the strength of the rebels is far stronger than we imagined. According to the Holy Lord's edict, we must go south to rescue Gaoyang as quickly as possible, if Gaoyang Palace falls because our rescue is too late, then even if we kill the white-haired thief in Shanggu, we can't offset the merits, so we can't delay too much time in Shanggu, we must concentrate all our forces to break through the resistance of the rebels in the shortest possible time, and cross the Juma River to the south. ”

Yuan Li's position is very clear, our mission is not to encircle and suppress the traitors in the upper valley, but to go south to rescue Gao Yang, and now Xiaoguo is doing the wrong thing, and the implication is to accuse the Yin Shishi of making a mistake in his decision.

The Yin World Master's face was like frost, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word.

"Our goal, of course, is to go south to help Gaoyang." Qu Tushou saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly played a round, "Judging from the current battle situation, the strength of the white-haired thief has indeed exceeded our expectations, if we continue to attack to the west, attacking Puyin and Wuhui City, we will inevitably be stubbornly blocked by the rebels, plus the rebels have the advantage of terrain, and once the losses are too large, we have to retreat, then the rebels in the direction of the Juma River can pounce from behind us, and we will be attacked by the enemy, the result can be imagined, not only failed to hit the rebels hard, but also did not drive the rebels into the mountains, did not open the passage to Gaoyang in the south, but delayed the time to rescue Gaoyang, which was actually equivalent to the white-haired thief's delaying tactic. ”

"Actually, we've fallen for the white-haired thief's delay." Fan Wenchao shook his head and sighed, "Now even if we immediately turn around and go south to kill Yi Shui, we will inevitably be blocked by the rebels here in Xiaocheng, although it seems that we and Duan Liushou have formed a flanking attack, but look at the rebels who retreated to Puyin and Wuhui City in the early stage, in fact, it is us who are encircled, and we are caught in the front and rear of the rebels." Speaking of this, Qu Tushou glanced at the Yin Shishi, and said bluntly, "Yicheng is a trap here, we shouldn't have entered the west bank of Laishui at all, because as long as we enter the west bank of Laishui, whether it is to attack to the west or south, we are surrounded by rebels, so we should decisively abandon Yicheng, quickly withdraw across Laishui, quickly rush to the Juma River, and take advantage of the rebels on the west bank of Laishui Before they can react, we will stay behind in the rendezvous section, concentrate all our forces to break through the Juma River, and rush south to rescue Gaoyang." ”

Fan Wenchao was not "subtle" at all, and publicly accused the Yin Shishi of making wrong decisions. Yesterday, he fought the "first battle", fought head-on with the rebels, and was surrounded and killed by the rebels who were several times his size, with a lot of losses and great resentment, and what especially made him resentful was that Xiaoguo's mission was to suppress thieves in Shanggu, or to go to Gaoyang to help? He is a native of Jiangzuo, and he is not a "mountain" from the Yin Shishi who was born in the northwest, plus his father Fan Zigai is deeply trusted by the Holy Lord and is one of the powerful ministers of the current dynasty, and he also has the "confidence" to publicly accuse the Yin Shishi.

Qu Tushou shook his hand at Fan Wenchao again and again, signaling him not to be too angry, "The white-haired thief is indeed not to be underestimated, with his current strength, he can concentrate on going north to fight Zhuojun after we go south to Gaoyang, we can't help but guard against this, out of caution, we do have a reason to test and wait and see in Shanggu a little, just in case of accidents." ”

Yuan Li sneered and said sarcastically, "In this way, even if this is a delaying tactic by the white-haired thief, we are helpless and can only go to the middle of the plan?" ”

Yin Shishi felt that it was "almost", it was basically certain that Fan Wenchao, Qu Tushou and Yuan Li had not seen the deepest hidden secret from the current battle situation, as long as the secret was not exposed, Duan Da and himself would be safe, and they would not be plotted by "political enemies", as for their own decision-making mistakes, of course, they should bear their own responsibility, and it was a big deal to leave Xiaoguo to become a town general in the border, but Yin Shishi felt that things were not so pessimistic, after all, Duan Da's "murder plan by sword" was tacitly approved by the Holy Lord, It is conducive to the Holy Lord and the main battle faction to carry out the Eastern Crusade to the end.

"Withdraw." The Yin Shishi made a final decision, "Immediately withdraw across the Laishui River and rush to the Juma River." ”

Xiaoguo came in a hurry, and hurried away. Shanggu Taishou, the county government bureaucrats, and the Yicheng military and civilians liked it, so they could only close the city gates again and wait for reinforcements.

As soon as Xiaoguo left, the alliance army came, continued to surround Yicheng, and continued to deploy troops on the west bank of Laishui, while the main army quickly crossed the Yishui River and quickly reinforced the Juma River.

On the seventh day of August, in the afternoon, on the north bank of the Juma River, the camp of the Weifu Army.

Feng Deyi, a native of Inner Shishe, arrived, and was very surprised to see that Duan Da was still hesitating in the Juma River. He had urged Duan Da to go south to Gaoyang several times as soon as possible, and he had already made the stakes very clear, but he didn't expect Duan Da to listen to him at all, and he would be in his ears.

Duan Da knew that Feng Deyi had misunderstood, and hurriedly told him in detail about the changes in the battle situation in Shanggu in the past few days, but he deliberately concealed the fact that the Yin Shishi and the Xiaoguo Army were surrounded by the rebels, and as for the process and the content of the agreement he had with Li Zixiong last night, he did not hide it at all, and he explained it all in 1510, for no other reason, which was related to whether the King of Qi could successfully go north to the border.

If there is no assistance from the power of the white-haired thief, the "prospects" of the king of Qi going north to the border are very bleak, and the king of Qi may not have a strong will to go north to the border. This time, Feng Deyi went to Gaoyang, on behalf of the Holy Lord, to probe the "bottom line" of King Qi, and the white-haired thief was a key force in the hands of King Qi, and it was necessary to find out clearly.

Feng Deyi was very surprised, he never expected that Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Yang Gongdao and many other powerful people were hiding under the white-haired thief's tent, he never expected that King Qi would use Yang Xuangan's mutiny to expand his own strength, if this news reached the ears of the Holy Lord and the center, what variables would it bring?
