Duan Wencao took the initiative to send an envoy and re-established contact with Xu Shiren. Xu Shiren was very happy, he was forced to rebel, and he had no confidence in the prospect of rebellion, so he actively sought a way out, and Duan Wencao was the leader of the Qilu aristocratic group, in fact, Xu Shiren's only way out.

Xu Shiren told Duan Wencao in detail about the predicament he encountered in the Battle of Ningyang, hoping to seek Duan Wencao's understanding, and then he reported the strategy of the righteous army to the west to conquer the Central Plains, and told Li Fengyun in detail the many reasons for Li Fengyun to launch this strategy. Xu Shiren begged Duan Wencao to give instructions, what should he do next, in order to help Duan Wencao as much as possible? The implication is that he will continue to be loyal to Duan Wencao and is willing to sacrifice his life for Duan Wencao.

At the same time, news came from the front line of Heshui and Surabaya that the white thieves attacked for four days and took Fanghe County, while Peicheng Yingyang Mansion and Fujicheng Yingyang Mansion, which were more than 100 miles away from Fanghe and Guting, did not send troops to rescue them.

Considering that the Eastern Crusade has begun and the Donglai Naval Division is about to cross the sea for an expedition, Xuzhou Zuo Xiaowei Mansion must not only make every effort to protect the safety of the Huai River and Tongji Canal, but also ensure the safety of the coastal transportation channels connecting Jianghuai and Qilu.

In the hall of the county government in Bianqiu City, Niu Jinda's expression was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, but the melancholy in his eyes was much lighter. Gently putting down the scout's secret report, he leaned over and looked at the map carefully, and suddenly said with a smile, "Xiao Lang suddenly withdrew from Lu County, the reason is that the Mengshan thieves are attacking Lanling, so what is the reason why the Tengcheng Yingyang Mansion and the Peicheng Yingyang Mansion have been delaying the support of the party?" ”

Lanling Xiao wants to protect its local interests, Boling Cui wants to protect its Shandong interests, the two have common interests in Xuzhou, plus the two families have a friendship in the world, it is natural to be consistent in many things, but Liang Dezhong is a Guanlong person, he and Cui's, Xiao Shi have a fierce conflict of interest, in addition to his Hu Benlang will act as Zuo Xiaowei's military, if he can make some achievements in Xuzhou, there is still a possibility of rising, if the traitors are allowed to capture Fang and Gu Ting, even if he defends the east of Xuzhou, The two transportation channels in the west, but because the thieves are unfavorable, the merits and demerits can only be offset by each other, so Liang Dezhong will definitely actively suppress the thieves in the future, and he will counterattack Fang and Guting, and this move will directly affect the development of the situation in Lu County and even southwest Lu.

Niu Jinda has seen the "tacit understanding" between the Cui family and the Xiao family in stabilizing the situation in Pengcheng, although this "tacit understanding" can only be understood, not spoken, but it is real. Now, Duan Wencao and the white thief Tong guò Xu Shiren this "bridge" has also established a "tacit understanding", although this "tacit understanding" still needs time to confirm, but there is a premise that cannot be ignored, Duan Wencao and Cui's and Xiao Shi must also immediately establish a new "tacit understanding", and the core content of this new "tacit understanding" is to connive at and promote the "Southwest Lu Righteous Army" to attack the Central Plains.

Niu Jinda's words were very subtle, but Duan Wencao and Kong Zhongqing both understood that if they wanted to establish a "tacit understanding" with Cui Deben and Xiao Hao immediately, they must first stop Liang Dezhong from counterattacking Fang and Heguting, and give the white thief enough time to recuperate and regain his strength. When the white thief's strength is restored, he will go west to the Central Plains, so that both the situation in Qilu and Xuzhou will be stabilized quickly, and the governments of the two places can immediately concentrate their efforts to ensure the eastward crusade.

After the victory of the Eastern Crusade, the authority of the emperor and the central government will be greatly increased, the process of reform will be accelerated, and the struggle between the conservatives and reformers in the court will soon become white-hot, and the two sides will certainly fight a big fight, and the best weapon is to "fight the chaos and suppress the thieves." "Suppressing thieves" is a double-edged sword, which can not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt oneself, if you win, you have merit, and if you lose, you are finished. For the people of Shandong, the greatest wish is to defeat the Guanlong people and destroy the largest political group that rules Middle-earth, so the weapons in their hands must be sharp. You Guanlong people use the thief to fight my Shandong people, and my Shandong people will use their own way to govern their people, and use the thief to fight back against you Guanlong people.

The white thief was far-sighted and knew that after the victory of the Eastern Expedition, he would face the encirclement and suppression of the powerful Weifu army, so he couldn't wait to show and grow, and at the same time actively seek the support of the Shandong aristocratic group, and the latter point was particularly important to him, whether he could win the support of the Shandong aristocratic group, not only related to his survival, but also related to whether he could reverse the situation and realize the lofty ideal of "prince and general".

In order to realize this theoretical ideal, he first wanted to Zhan, and Zhan needed to win the support of the Shandong aristocratic group, so he sent a message that he was willing to be a knife in the hands of the Shandong aristocratic group, and was willing to charge forward for the Shandong aristocratic group to achieve their political goals, for this reason, he neither continued to fight in Lujun, nor went south to Pengcheng to chaos Xuzhou, but went west to the Central Plains, to the political center of Middle Earth, and to the place where the power of the Guanlong aristocratic group was most concentrated.

The white thief came up with the conditions, and then it was Duan Wencao's turn, Cui Deben and Xiao Hao to respond. Such a good thing, how could Duan Wencao, Cui Deben and Xiao Hao refuse? Xiao Hao did not hesitate, and left Lu County with the army and returned to Lanling. Cui Deben also cooperated "tacitly" and allowed the white thief to attack Fang and Heguting. Although Pengcheng's Yingyangfu army is quite numerous, in the face of the heavy task of guarding the transportation channel, Liang Dezhong will definitely not be able to dispatch Yingyangwei to suppress the thieves.

"Liang Wuben will definitely find a reason why he can't rescue in time, and he will put pressure on Cui Juncheng, so once the responsibility for the fall of Fang and Cheng is investigated, Cui Juncheng will not be able to escape the blame." Kong Zhongqing looked at Duan Wencao and said with a slight smile, "A few days ago, the envoy owed Cui Juncheng a favor, so from a certain point of view, it is better to pay it back as soon as possible." ”

Duan Wen was worried about comprehending, "Tell Liang Wuben and Cui Juncheng." Today, the thieves are attacking the front line of Heshui and Surabaya with all their might, trying to surround our flawed hill on all sides. A certain decision, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of thieves was concentrated on the first line of Heshui and Surabaya, and when the thieves on the first line of Wenshui were empty, they attacked north and inflicted heavy losses on the thieves. For this reason, a certain implored Liang Wuben and Cui Juncheng to cooperate, and used Fang He and Gu Ting to drag the main force of the thief, so as to gain time for a certain attack on the front line of Wenshui. As long as a certain person recovers the Wenshui line, he can wave his army to the south, and fight the thieves in the north and south with Liang Lang and Cui Juncheng on the east and west banks of Surabaya. ”

Kong Zhongqing immediately drafted the book.

Niu Jinda pondered for a moment and asked, "When does the envoy plan to go north?" ”

"Tomorrow I will wave my army to the north." Duan Wencao said with a smile, "The white thief has conquered Kang's father, Gaoping, Gu Ting and Fang He, and controlled the waterway into the Central Plains, and then he only needs to conquer Zou Cheng again and establish the passage between Mengshan and Surabaya, so that the momentum of the westward expedition to the Central Plains has been completed, just like an arrow on the string, how can he?" But how could so-and-so give him a county seat? Zou Cheng can give it to him, but the premise is that he must return all the cities on the Wenshui line to him. ”

Niu Jinda frowned and was silent, and stopped talking. According to Xu Shiren's secret report, the white thieves have all transferred the main force to the front line of Heshui and Surabaya, although there are still some troops who are carrying the grain in Ningyang City, but when the food in the city is empty, these troops will also abandon the city and leave, as for the Wenshui line, such as Wenyang, Juping, Liangfu and even Yangguan, it seems that they are still waving flags, but in fact they are all empty cities. If there is no "tacit understanding" between the two sides, of course Duan Wencao will not dare to attack north, if he goes north, Fubianqiu will be dangerous, and now that there is a "tacit understanding", it will be completely different, Duan Wencao exchanged a Zou City for all the lost cities in the north of Lu County, which is not only cost-effective, but more importantly, he stabilized the situation in Lu County.

"Envoy, Liang Wuben and the white thief have a deep grudge, and the current Liang Wuben's important task is to ensure the safety of the Tongji Canal, and the white thief's attack on the Heshui and Surabaya lines has exposed his intention to attack the Central Plains." Niu Jinda said worriedly, "The white thief attacked the Central Plains, and the target was Tongji Canal, which was beneficial to Lu County and Pengcheng, but it was very unfavorable to Liang Wuben. Once the Tongji Canal was attacked by the white thieves, the north-south transportation was interrupted, and the impact was very great, Liang Wuben must take responsibility for this, and he would repeat the mistakes of Dong Chun, so from Liang Wuben's position, he had no choice but to mobilize troops to storm the Heshui and Surabaya lines, and resolutely prevent the white thieves from attacking the Central Plains and threatening the Tongji Canal. ”

Duan Wen stroked his long beard and was silent.

Kong Zhongqing put down the brush, thought for a moment, and supported Niu Jinda's opinion, "Envoy, it is related to Liang Wuben's future, if Cui Juncheng insists on obstructing and delaying the attack, the two sides will inevitably have a conflict." Liang Wuben was angry, and he must mobilize Yingyang Mansion from the Huai River to the north to suppress the thieves. On the south bank of the Huai River, there are all the eagles in the river capital, which is enough to ensure the safety of the Huai River. ”

"Envoy, don't look at Liang Wuben's main force of Xuzhou Zhuyingyang on the line of Tongji Canal and Huai River, it seems that he is overstretched in terms of troops, but if he is forced to be in a hurry, he can still transfer the army to the north to suppress the thieves." Niu Jinda sighed, "Once the white thief is blocked by the line of Heshui and Surabaya and cannot enter the Central Plains westward, it will be very unfavorable to me. ”

Duan Wencao bowed slightly and asked, "What is the plan?" ”

"With the main force going south to the front line of Pingyang and Zoucheng, make a posture of attacking the thief army." Niu Jinda put his finger on the map on the desk, and said, "At the same time, please Pengcheng Cui Juncheng go north along Surabaya, and Chen Bing will be on the line of Peicheng and Xuecheng, and form a north-south attack with me." In this way, Liang Wuben will not clash with Cui Jun Chengsheng, and he will not send the eagles on the Huai River to the north to suppress the thieves. ”

"Good plan." Kong Zhongqing said with a smile, "The envoy and Cui Juncheng have tacitly cooperated, and the north and south will definitely put heavy pressure on the white thief." The white thief can only enter the Central Plains in the west, and if he retreats, he will have to face the joint attack of the envoy and Cui Juncheng, and he is very passive. ”

Duan Wencao and Niu Jinda looked at each other and didn't speak. Cui De would not have lost his old book to help Duan Wencao attack the white thief, which was not of much benefit to him, so this gesture could be done, but it was only for the Eastern Capital, for Zhou Fashang, the prefect of the Right Waiting Guard Mansion, and Liang De, the acting prefect of the Left Xiaowei Mansion, and there was no threat to the white thief.

"The white thief didn't get Zou Cheng, the back road is not smooth, and he won't go west." Duan Wencao said decisively, "The soldiers are divided into two routes, a certain led the main force north to the Wenshui line, and Niu Yingzheng led the army to garrison the Zou Cheng and Pingyang lines. If Cui Juncheng goes north, he will cooperate with him tacitly. As for how Zou Cheng will defend and when to evacuate, depending on the situation, Niu Yingzheng has full authority to deal with it. ”

Niu Jinda bowed and promised. Kong Zhongqing hurriedly drafted the letter.
