After Liang Dezhong entered Xiapi City, he did not pursue with his tail, nor did he have the joy of defeating the rebels, on the contrary, he was full of worries, and a sense of foreboding enveloped his heart.

The battle of Yishan made him clearly see the strength of the white thief, and he was surprised. When he and Dong Chun besieged and killed the white thief together, the strength of the white thief was very limited, although in the process of encirclement and suppression, Yongcheng Yingyanglang killed Fei Huai, and the four regiments of Yongcheng Yingyangfu were all wiped out, and even Dong Chun himself was "hitched" in the end, but at that time the official army still had an absolute advantage, and the white thief fled to Mengshan after all the hardships. However, today, a year later, the strength of the white thief has grown to the point that he is unbelievable, not only the number of people is large, but the weapons and equipment of the army are also good, if it were not for the obvious lack of experience in battle, the officers are generally low, and the strict zhòng limits their combat effectiveness, and the Eagle Yang Mansion is already difficult to contend with.

Why did the white thief's strength show so quickly? Just burning, killing, and plundering? This summer, the 20,000 army of King Qi went out of Beijing to encircle and suppress the white thief, and it stands to reason that even if the white thief escapes back to Mengshan, there should be a certain amount of loss, but now it seems that the white thief is not only undamaged, but even stronger, why? Liang Dezhong had to re-examine the Tongji Canal crisis this summer, rethink the truth behind the rebellion in Beijing, the king of Qi, and consider the current crisis in Xuzhou from the political level.

Now Xuzhou Zhuyingyang can still compete with the Mengshan bandits, but from the perspective of the battle of Yishan, this kind of confrontation is limited to the local battlefield, once the two sides invest all their troops and start a frontal decisive battle, Xuzhou Zhuyingyang will inevitably be in danger of defeat due to numerical inferiority, so Liang Dezhong from the perspective of his own safety, categorically decided to postpone the pursuit.

The white thief went south to attack Suyu City, but Suyu City is Xiapi Mansion, the city is tall and strong, and there is an Eagle Yang Mansion garrison, the defensive force is strong, and the white thief rushed all the way from Mengshan, lightly armed, there is no large siege equipment, if you force the attack, the loss is self-evident. The white thief was able to conquer Tancheng, which was to take advantage of the "unprepared enemy", but when he arrived in Xiapi, he couldn't do it, he didn't dare to attack the fortification, he could only plunder around the city, and the purpose of the battle with the official army in Yishan was only to block and win more time for him to plunder. Liang Dezhong deduced from this that after the white thief arrived in Suyu City, he also besieged but did not attack, and also plundered the periphery of the city, and more importantly, Suyu was only more than 100 miles away from the Huai River, and after crossing the Huai River, it was Jiangdu, and the white thief rushed from Mengshan to the bank of the Huai River for six or seven hundred miles, what was the purpose? This time to the south, is the target of the white thief Xuzhou or Jiangdu? Liang Dezhong faced the complex shape shì, and there was no way to speculate, so he could only be cautious, temporarily stay in Xiapi, and wait and see what happened.

At this time, the scouts came to report that the army of the King of Qi suddenly crossed Surabaya and headed south.

Liang Dezhong was secretly surprised, looking at the map and deducing repeatedly, trying to spy on the purpose of King Qi.

One is that the white thief was forced to cross the Huai River to the south, enter the Jiangdu to fight, and survive in the Jianghuai River; One is to deliberately threaten the security of Jiangdu and induce Jiangdu troops to cross into Xu.

If the battle situation unfolds in the first direction, Liang Dezhong is happy to see it, as long as he keeps an appropriate distance from the white thief, he can slowly advance, and the fruits of victory are at his fingertips. As for the king of Qi who came after him, he was able to live outside the house to fight the chaos, because of the white thief's existence, so if nothing else, the king of Qi also had to cross the Huai south, so that all the crises were transferred from Xuzhou to Jiangdu, which is undoubtedly good news for Liang Dezhong, Cui Deben and the local forces in Xuzhou with the Lanling Xiao clan as the leader.

However, if the war situation unfolds in the second direction, it will be bad news for Xuzhou. According to the law, the Jiangdu army can not cross the border, can not cross the Huai to the north, but Jiangdu County Cheng Wang Shichong is a close confidant of the Holy Lord, once the Holy Lord in order to fight the King of Qi, in order to find a justifiable excuse to "arrest" the King of Qi back to the Eastern Capital, the secret edict Wang Shichong to deal with the opportunity, then it is foreseeable that now Wang Shichong may be on the bank of the Huai River, as long as he sees the white thief appear on the north bank of the Huai River, has posed a threat to the Jiangdu, then he will inevitably wave his army to cross the Huai River and go north to fight the chaos.

After Wang Shichong entered Xuzhou, killing the white thief was secondary, the goal was to hit the king of Qi, it was to "hit hard" the king of Qi, if he could use the "knife" of the white thief to slaughter the king of Qi, and finally met the wish of the holy lord, and "driven" the king of Qi back to the eastern capital, then Wang Shichong's credit was great, and the day of flying yellow was in front of him. But the people of Xuzhou are terrible, they can't argue, offending the King of Qi is still a crisis in the future, offending the local aristocratic group of Guanlong with Wei's as the family, it is a real disaster, the people of Guanlong do not dare to retaliate against Wang Shichong, but dare to wave the "big knife" at the people of Xuzhou to vent the hatred in their hearts.

Liang Dezhong immediately strengthened his idea of stationing troops and sitting back and watching the changes. Although he is the highest military commander in Xuzhou, he is very weak, he can't afford to offend anyone, and he can't stand in line casually to find death, so he can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.

On the contrary, the King of Qi considered his own interests, in order to prevent the Jiangdu army from crossing the Huai River to the north, he must go straight to the north bank of the Huai River as quickly as possible, cut off the road of the white thief crossing the Huai, and also cut off the road of Wang Shichong crossing the Huai, but in this way, Wang Shichong did not dare to forcibly cross the river, so as not to publicly break with the King of Qi, but the King of Qi was also dragged on the north bank of the Huai River and could not move.

King Qi "Dragon Trapped Shoal", can't move, the white thief can "soar", get rid of this enemy who follows behind all day long to sharpen knives, and can plunder in Xuzhou. Is this the purpose of the white thief running all the way to the Huai River?

Liang Dezhong ordered the scouts to probe again, and pay close attention to the movements of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Li Fengyun, the white thief.

Soon, Li Fengyun commanded the two armies of Huben and Fengyun to surround Suyu in Xiapi Prefecture, besiege but not attack, and the rest of the alliance armies were wantonly plundered on both sides of Surabaya, but Li Fengyun issued a death order, no regiment and brigade should not approach Huaiyang City, which is located at the confluence of Surabaya and Huai River, let alone attack the Huai River, and those who violate it will be killed.

Soon, King Yang of Qi went to the north bank of Suishui, and the 20,000 troops were lined up with Panshi Mountain as the center, and several pontoon bridges were built on the river, making a situation of continuing to go south, but whether it was to go south to kill Suyu or go straight to the north bank of the Huai River, no one knew, and even the 20,000 soldiers under his command were suspicious.

Liang Dezhong was puzzled. From the perspective of the white thief, the soldier should approach the Huai River as quickly as possible and grasp the initiative of the battle situation first. Similarly, from the standpoint of the King of Qi, he should enter Xiapi County as quickly as possible, kill Surabaya directly, and fly into the north bank of the Huai River while attacking Suyu, so as to ensure the control of the battle situation, otherwise he will inevitably be passive. However, the behavior of these two people is very strange, one will not move when he arrives in Suyu, and the other will not move when he arrives at Panshi Mountain, but Suyu is only more than 100 miles away from the Huai River, and Panshi Mountain is more than 300 miles away from the Huai River.

Liang Dezhong's ominous premonition suddenly spread, he once again thought of the crisis of Tongji Canal, and thought of the white thief who not only retreated but even expanded under the encirclement and suppression of King Qi's 20,000 army, if there is no ulterior secret behind this, who would believe it? So what's the secret?

The more Liang Dezhong deduced, the more frightened he became, and suddenly a thought rushed into his mind. Is the secret behind the Tongji Canal crisis the secret between King Qi and the white thief? The king of Qi wants to seize the imperial throne and show his strength, but there are some things he can't do, so he rebels openly, so he has to borrow a knife to kill. If the target of King Qi is Xuzhou, then he and Cui De are the people who King Qi must kill, and the white thief is the "knife" in the hands of King Qi, but the "knife" must be sharp, otherwise it will not kill people, so after the crisis of Tongji Canal, the white thief not only did not lose, but grew stronger.

Based on this inference, and looking at the current battle situation, Liang Dezhong was surprised to see that Suyu was a trap, and if he chased and killed with his own tail and went straight to Suyu with the army, he would inevitably be in danger of being wiped out. Liang Dezhong thought hard for a long time, but couldn't find a countermeasure, so he could only continue to stay in Xiapi and watch the changes.

This "mindfulness" is more than ten days. At the end of October, the situation changed suddenly, Jiangdu County Cheng Wang Shichong Chen soldiers on the south bank of the Huai River, made a situation of crossing the Huai River at any time, and wrote to Wu Benlang General Liang Dezhong and Pengcheng County Cheng Cui Deben, made a solemn promise, as long as Xuzhou rebellion needs, he has no hesitation, will enter the Xuzhou battlefield at the first time. This is actually tantamount to suing Liang Dezhong and Cui Deben, the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital's attitude towards Qi Wang Yang Lan is "containment", you must see the form clearly, and don't make a mistake into a thousand hatreds.

This action of the Jiangdu army immediately affected the battlefield in Xuzhou.

Yang Lan, the king of Qi, decisively led his army south to Suishui, but at the same time, Li Fengyun also led his army to evacuate Suyu and cross Surabaya to the west. The two armies met on the south bank of Suishui and fought fiercely. The first battle of the king of Qi was unfavorable and he withdrew to Panshi Mountain. Li Fengyun waved his army to follow, and the two sides fought fiercely again at the foot of Panshi Mountain.

Liang Dezhong stared at the Panshi Mountain battlefield with wide eyes in Xiapicheng, more than 100 miles away, lest if he was not careful, he would be beheaded by the white thief waved by the King of Qi.

Wang Shichong also paid close attention on the south bank of the Huai River, his purpose was to "force" the king of Qi to kill the traitors, as long as the king of Qi encountered a slight setback, and the people of Xuzhou were worried about being affected by it "standing by", he would have a reason to wave his army north.

Just when the Panshi Mountain was "in full swing", Li Fengyun suddenly appeared under Pengcheng City with the alliance army and caught Cui Deben off guard.

Cui Deben was shocked, and 100,000 hurriedly asked for help from Yang Nan, the king of Qi, and Liang Dezhong. Now Pengcheng only has the three thousand township regiments led by Xiao Hao, and all the eagles and Yang have been brought to Xiapi to suppress the thieves by Liang Dezhong, and Pengcheng is actually vulnerable and in danger.

Yang Nan, the king of Qi, replied to Cui Deben that the white thief and his main army were under the Panshi Mountain, and Lone was fighting fiercely with him, and it was impossible for him to appear in Pengcheng, so it was certain that the traitors who attacked Pengcheng came from Mengshan, and they were a plan to save Zhao from Wei and came to rescue the white thief. Don't be alarmed, hold on to the city, and wait for help.

The king of Qi could refuse to support Pengcheng, but Liang Dezhong couldn't, he had to come back, and he also believed that it was a small rebel force from Mengshan that attacked Pengcheng.

Liang Dezhong had been staring at the Panshi Mountain battlefield, his scouts had no existing rebels leaving the Panshi Mountain from beginning to end, although he was full of doubts about the battle of the Panshi Mountain, neither the King of Qi nor the White Thief showed any flaws, so that he could not find evidence to prove his inference. Since the King of Qi and the white thief fought head-on, and he was unwilling to help, he would definitely give someone a handle if he stood aside and watched coldly, so of course he had to take this opportunity to return to Pengcheng. Liang Dezhong decisively ordered to return to Pengcheng.

However, only one day later, when Liang Dezhong led his army to Taoyuan City at the northern foot of Luliang Mountain, he was surrounded by Li Fengyun and the seven legions of the alliance who were ambushed here.

Liang Dezhong's ominous premonition finally became a reality, although the Taoyuan battlefield is less than 100 miles away from Pengcheng and only more than 100 miles away from the Panshi Mountain battlefield, but Liang Dezhong knows that he has been calculated and fallen into a trap, and it is impossible to get support.

After a night of fierce fighting, Liang Dezhong finally "lucky" broke through and left, leaving only dozens of personal guards, and the rest were gone.
