Duan Wen Caoshu told the counties that thieves are rampant today, and the main force of the eagles is marching eastward, and the remaining troops are not enough, which makes the chaos very severe, but only when the eastern crusade is over, the shape will inevitably be reversed. For this reason, Duan Wencao asked the counties and townships to recruit people as soldiers, actively defend, and if there are traitors in the territory, they will hold on to the city and wait for help.

With Fubianqiu as the center, it formed a defensive battle formation with Qufu, Gongqiu, Rencheng, and Zoucheng, which were closest to the Fangqiu, and concentrated all the Yingyang and local armies of Lujun in this area, and the officials, the army and the people joined forces to resist the enemy, and the cities supported each other to ensure the safety of the center of Lujun.

As for the areas beyond the heartland, including the counties and townships at the western foot of Mengshan and on both sides of Wenshui, they are now occupied by traitors or are being attacked by traitors. Forced by his pessimistic predictions about the future situation, Duan Wencao could only appease them and order them to find ways to protect themselves. It's not that I don't save you, it's that I'm too busy to take care of myself, and I can't protect myself.

Duan Wencao was worried that Juping would fall and the two hundred eagles in the city would be wiped out, so he urgently ordered the infantry captains stationed in the city to abandon Juping and evacuate. He originally had six regiments of Eagle Yangwei in his hands, but he lost one regiment and one brigade in the Battle of Biancheng, and another brigade was lost after the fall of Yangguan, leaving only four regiments, if Juping fell again and the garrison regiment did not withdraw, Duan Wencao would only have three regiments of Eagle Yangwei left in his hands, not only the loss was too great, but it would also seriously affect the town of Fufangqiu, so he would rather give up Juping than lose the strength of that regiment.

However, his order was not delivered.

Juping City was crumbling under the fierce attack of the Mengshan Righteous Army. After nightfall, Li Fengyun ordered the main brigade to continue to storm the northern city, firmly attracting the main force of the defenders, and then personally led the partial division to raid the western city, and successfully climbed the city tower in the first round of attacks, and opened the city gate by Shun lì. Juping City fell, and the defending officers and troops were all wiped out.

The next day, Li Fengyun ordered the main brigade to advance westward along both sides of Wenshui, attacking the large and small towns along the coast, such as Sheqiu, Wenyang, Gangcheng, and Nanzhang, and asked the soldiers to loot the Guancang and Yicang in these towns.

Almost at the same time, Shuai Rentai, Huo Xiaohan and Meng Haigong captured Juye City, and then waved their troops into Lu County, burning and plundering in Rencheng and Zou County.

Niu Jinda commanded two regiments of Eagle Yangwei and four township regiments of the Lu army, and launched a counterattack against this weak rebel army that had not long been raising the banner. The rebels were unable to resist, so they were divided into three, Shuai Rentai withdrew to Ping6, Huo Xiaohan withdrew to Juye, and Meng Haigong withdrew to both sides of Jiyin and Heshui, each of them spread, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

Duan Wencao asked Zhang Xutuo, the county governor of Qi County, and Cui Deben, the county governor of Pengcheng County, for help, as for Dou Xuan, the county guard of Langya County, he gave up after thinking about it, and he didn't even write a letter. When Langya County was in dire straits last winter, Dou Xuan asked Duan Wencao for help, hoping that Duan Wencao could attack Mengshan from the direction of the Lu army to alleviate the crisis in Langya County, but Duan Wencao disobeyed Yang and Yin, and promised in his mouth, but in fact he did not kill an arrow. Now that the shape is upside down, Lu County is "in dire straits", you Duan Wencao asked Dou Xuan for help, Dou Xuan will help? Of course not. Besides, Dou Xuan is also anxious to ensure the safety of the transportation channel now. In his eyes, Mengshan is a hornet's nest, if the hornet doesn't come out to bite him, he will burn high incense, where do you dare to take the initiative to poke the hornet's nest?

When Zhang Xutuo received Duan Wencao's letter, he was encircling and suppressing the Changbai Mountain bandit army on the south bank of Jishui.

The direct cause of the rebellion in Qi County was that last year, Qi County suffered the most severe floods, the river burst its banks, the water flooded, and countless homeless and displaced people. The second is that Qi County gathers the elite of Qi people, Licheng (Jinan) and Zichuan (Zibo) are ancient cities with a long history, and the great plains on both sides of the Jishui River have nourished generations of Qilu nobles, so it is also the gathering place of all the contradictions inside and outside the Qilu region, and it is a "powder keg". As more and more gunpowder was in the powder keg, the crisis became more and more severe, and finally one day, it exploded.

Changbai Mountain is located in the north of Mount Tai, the south bank of Jishui, located between Licheng and Zichuan, only more than 100 miles away from these two thousand-year-old cities, the mountain is not big, not high and not dangerous, in fact there is no military value, but it is famous all over the world because Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the first anti-Sui banner in this move. Fame can't be eaten, and Changbai Mountain can't provide any protection for the rebels, it can only silently watch Qi people of all walks of life and various identities running and fighting around it, and can only silently mourn those who died, and can only wait for the golden sunlight to penetrate the black clouds and re-illuminate its beautiful face.

Changbai Mountain sent away Wang Bo and Meng Rang, ushered in the brothers Zuo Junxing and Zuo Junheng, welcomed Pei Changzi and Shi Zihe, and ushered in more ragged but hopeful and passionate owners.

However, the clouds are darker. Zhang Xutuo led his army to the foot of Changbai Mountain, on both sides of Mount Tai and Jishui, in an area of two or three hundred miles, surrounded and bloody slaughtered the rebels. The brothers Zuo Junxing and Zuo Junheng couldn't defeat Zhang Xutuo, so they could only retreat in the direction of Beihai County, intending to join the Beihai Righteous Army led by Guo Fangzhu and Qin Junhong, who were stationed at the northeast foot of Yishan. Pei Changzi and Shi Zihe couldn't defeat Zhang Xutuo, so they retreated to Mount Tai nearby, intending to flee to Lu County to get a chance to breathe.

The strength of the rebel army is weak, and the strategy of survival is guerrilla, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, and if you don't work, it will be broken into pieces, and a large group of large and small leaders will lead their men and horses, and then meet at the agreed place, in short, they will resolutely not confront the official army head-on.

Zhang Xutuo and his soldiers surrounded and pursued everywhere, exhausted and exhausted, but the results were very limited.

At this time, Duan Wencao's letter for help arrived. During this time, the county guards of Beihai, Jibei and Dongping counties successively sent envoys to Zhang Xutuo for help, Duan Wencao was the last, and the situation in Lu County was also the worst.

Zhang Xutuo had already expected that the Mengshan thieves would go down the mountain to cause trouble, but what he didn't expect was that in just a few months, Lu County not only had Mengshan bandits to cause trouble, but also traitors from Jibei, Dongping and Jiyin counties, Duan Wencao actually fell into the predicament of "embattled". In fact, Duan Wencao is far more than "embattled", he also has "internal and external troubles", "internal troubles" is that after his brother Duan Wenzhen died of illness, his backer fell, and the Qilu aristocratic group is also facing the danger of collapse, and the "external trouble" is that the Guanlong aristocratic bureaucrats in the Qilu region and the political opponents of the eastern capital will inevitably take the opportunity to attack, while "striking" the Beihai Duan clan, "besieging" the Qilu aristocratic group, in order to attack and weaken the Shandong people.

Zhang Xutuo snickered secretly. He originally wanted to use the chaos in Qilu to make meritorious contributions, so as to go further in his career, but the local forces in Qilu were strong, and the Jiangzuo magnates who controlled the Donglai Water Division were also strong and domineering, and he was a small county and was squeezed in the middle by the two major forces, so Zhang Xutuo took the initiative to show favor to the Duan family in order to win the support of the Qilu people, hoping to improve his situation. But there are unforeseen circumstances, who expected that Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, would suddenly die, but at this moment, the Qilu rebellion was surging again, and it became more and more intense, which was equivalent to giving the Qilu aristocratic group a "head on the head" and beating them dizzy.

This is a heaven-sent opportunity to attack the people of Qi, how can Zhang Xutuo let it go? If you want to fight the Qilu people, you must first attack the Beihai Duan clan. Duan Wenzhen is dead, and Duan Wencao is still defeated, and then Duan Wencao is knocked down with lightning speed, and the Qilu aristocratic group has been hit hard, and it will definitely be in chaos, and it will be scattered. At that time, the Qilu people were too busy to take care of themselves, where would they have time to restrain Zhang Xutuo and hinder Zhang Xutuo's rebellion? Zhang Xutuo took the opportunity to let go of his hands and feet and wantonly suppressed the thieves, so that he would definitely succeed and fight a battle.

Zhang Xutuo then summoned his cronies and subordinates to discuss the plan to fight the rebellion.

The county lieutenant Jia Wuben came in a hurry. Soldier Cao Shuzuo and Qin Qiong rushed over from another military camp dozens of miles away. The last to arrive was Wu Heimin, the infantry captain of Yingyang Mansion in Licheng.

Sima Yang Qian of Yingyang Mansion in Licheng died of illness and went north to mourn, and he was the infantry captain Wu Heimin who commanded Zhu Yingyang of Qi County. Wu Heimin is a native of Dong'a in Jibei, the son of an ordinary official eunuch, who once fought in the northern frontier and fought with the Turks, and was promoted for merit. After Yang Qian came to Licheng, he and Wu Heimin hit it off at first sight, and then became friends and trusted him very much.

In the handsome tent, it was Zhang Yuanbei, the Gongcao of the county guard's mansion, who explained the latest situation in Qilu to everyone.

Gong Cao is in charge of personnel, participates in government affairs, and is the absolute henchman of the county guard. And Zhang Yuanbei is Zhang Xutuo's son, even if he is a confidant, he can't compare to the father and son who are connected by blood. Zhang Xutuo did not avoid his relatives, and recruited his son to serve as the main official of the county government, which can be regarded as a distinct personality, but in fact he was forced to do so, he went from the army to the locality, and settled in Qilu, a place where the local forces are extremely strong. In such a critical situation, if there are not a few absolute henchmen around him, he must be black-eyed, and he doesn't know if he has been sold.

Zhang Yuanbei stood in front of the map, talked about the situation in Lu County and its surroundings, and then introduced Donglai, Gaomi, and Langya along the coast.

At present, the traitor with the strongest strength in Qilu and the greatest impact on the situation in Qilu is not the Qizhou thief, but the Xuzhou thief stationed in Mengshan. The thieves of Xuzhou occupy the mountain as the king, and the next step is to seek development, of course, they must attack the weakest and plundered a very rich place, and this place is Langya County. The Xuzhou thieves attacked Langya County and plundered the coastal transportation channels, which would have an impact on the Donglai sailors' expedition across the sea, so Zhou Fashang 100,000 hurriedly sent troops to support Langya County. As a result, the Xuzhou thieves knew the affairs very well, and immediately withdrew to the mountain, no longer fighting Langya County, but instead went to fight Pengcheng and Pi, and now they are concentrating all their forces to fight Lu County.

Why is that? Why didn't the Mengshan bandit army go to fight Langya, not to loot the war materials on the transportation channel, not to obstruct the Eastern Crusade, but to fight Lu County? This is definitely not the reason for the strength, the strength of the Mengshan Bandit Army, everyone has already understood, and it is still very powerful. They plundered the heavy fleet on the Tongji Canal, and also hijacked thousands of strong boatmen and sailors on the Tongji Canal, and after a winter of intensive training, its combat effectiveness must be very strong, and it is completely capable of fighting Langya, so there is only one explanation for this, the goal of the Mengshan bandits' recent attack is not to obstruct the Eastern Crusade, but to put Duan Wencao to death, to attack the Qilu people, and to further confuse the situation in Qilu.

The chaotic situation in Qilu will inevitably affect the north and south of the river and even the entire Shandong region. If the entire Shandong region is in chaos, then Middle-earth will inevitably be in chaos, and if Middle-earth is in chaos, the result can be imagined.

Zhang Xutuo's task is to stabilize Qilu. Qilu is in chaos, Duan Wencao and the Qilu people are of course unlucky, and he can't run away, so whoever wants to mess up Qilu will kill whom.
