Chapter Seventy-Three: Advancing to Mengshan

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Li Fengyun's words have a deep meaning.

The two of you go back now and report what you have seen to Wang Bo and Meng Rang, and Wang Bo and Meng Rang also believe it, but how can you confirm that the Xuzhou Righteous Army advanced to Mengshan to capture Liyu and take Bian Cheng, which posed a threat to Lu County, and then gave the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army a chance to break through the siege in the south? Therefore, the two of you must leave one behind, advance to Mengshan with the Xuzhou Righteous Army, and after the Righteous Army takes Bian Cheng, you can report it to Wang Bo, so as to help the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army break through to the south.

Imagine going further to the worse place, if Zhang Xutuo would plan and set a trap on the north bank of Surabaya and gather more troops to besiege and kill the Changbai Mountain rebels, then Wang Bo and Meng Rang would most likely be wiped out, and at the moment of crisis, they would be able to report to Li Fengyun for help, and Li Fengyun was convinced that only these two brothers were the only ones.

Sure enough, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi did not answer Li Fengyun immediately, but frowned and pondered, which proved that the wisdom of the two was indeed different from ordinary people. Li Fengyun was even more determined in his thoughts, no matter what the future of the two brothers was, they had to give them the help they could at this moment, it was easy to add icing on the cake, but it was difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and there would be a lot of rewards in the future.

Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi looked at each other and communicated very tacitly, and then Du Fuwei bowed to Li Fengyun, "General, I will take two people to report to the north immediately, while Brother will stay with the general so that we can get in touch again on the banks of the Surabaya River." Duvowe explained eloquently, "I don't know what the general wants?" ”

"Good!" Li Fengyun agreed, agreed with Du Fuwei on a secret word, and then asked Xu Shisan to take the two brothers away from the big tent.

Yuan An really couldn't hold back, walked up to Li Fengyun and asked, "Why does the general believe in these two people and tell them secrets?" "The implication is that Li Fengyun is too rash in this matter? There are many witty people in this world, but there are very few who are thriving, if Li Fengyun takes a fancy to the intelligence of these two people, it is too absurd and impossible, so Yuan An thinks that there must be a mystery in this.

"Have you heard of Wang Bo and Meng Rang before?" Li Fengyun asked.

Yuan An shook his head, "I've never heard of it." ”

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

Wang Bo and Meng Rang were the first Qilu heroes to raise the banner against the Sui, but as the wave of the uprising swept through Middle-earth, the two men not only failed to dominate one side, but parted ways, and the Changbai Mountain rebels also declined. Wang Bo later defected to Dou Jiande, and after Dou Jiande's death, he defected to Li Tang again, repeatedly. Meng Rang later voted for Li Mi, and after Li Mi failed, he disappeared and did not know what to do. From the life trajectory of the two, it can be inferred that they are not eloquent people, but they are not necessarily ambitious and talented, sometimes luck is very important, and character is more important, and character determines fate. Li Fengyun concluded that they all value their own vital interests, like power, and have a strong ** to be the boss, and when the boss's dream is shattered, they are decadent and drift with the crowd, lacking indomitable will and indomitable courage.

Such figures, once they heard that the Xuzhou rebels had occupied Mengshan in front of them, would lose their motivation to go south. If the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army wants to break through the interception of the official army, they will inevitably pay a heavy price, and the loss of strength will be strict, so that when they arrive in Mengshan, they will send people under the fence, look at the eyes of others to live, and even be directly annexed by the Xuzhou Righteous Army, imagine how could Wang Bo and Meng Rang be willing to jump out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den?

Li Fengyun briefly explained the reason, as for how he learned the information about Wang Bo and Meng Rang, he didn't say, Yuan An didn't ask, he saw a lot of similar situations, and he was used to it.

"It turns out that the general wants to prevent the Changbai Mountain rebels from going south to Mengshan." Yuan An suddenly realized.

"Mengshan is big enough, but the food in the middle of the day is limited, and it can't feed so many troops." Li Fengyun sneered, "I can't eat enough, how can I let Wang Bo and Meng Rang come to fight for food?" Besides, the convergence of the two rebel armies has a great goal and a great influence, and the officers and troops can just concentrate their forces to encircle and suppress them from all sides, while contradictions and conflicts will inevitably arise within the rebel army due to various reasons such as food shortages. As you can imagine, the defeat of the rebels was only a matter of time. ”

Yuan An was greatly impressed and nodded again and again, "General, if Wang Bo and Meng Rang are cornered, they must go south to Mengshan?" ”

"Then he ate them." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "Taking advantage of your illness, I want your life, since they are killing themselves, they have fulfilled their wishes." ”

Yuan An was secretly horrified. The longer he came into contact with Li Fengyun, the more fearful he became of his ruthless and cruel character, but those who have achieved great things are not informal, and at the moment of life and death, how can they talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality? Those who should be killed must be killed.

The rebel army was divided into two, Li Fengyun led the elite of the ten regiments to advance to Mengshan first, and Han Yao led the rear army to follow.

The scouts found a few Orions nearby to act as guides. When the hunter got the money, he rejoiced in his heart, and did his best, and the path he chose was both hidden and not difficult.

At dawn, the rebel army marched more than 60 miles and entered the territory of Nancheng in Langya County. After resting for an hour, eating and drinking, the scouts who happened to go to Nancheng to inquire about the military situation also returned. The scouts reported that Nancheng was defenseless and had no garrison, so it could be launched with a single drum.

Xu 13 led the Fengyun Regiment to pretend to be the Eagle Yang Guard, and swaggered to the foot of Nancheng City. Nancheng is located in the mountainous area, sparsely populated, very barren, not to mention seeing the army on weekdays, even the merchants are rare to see a few. The guards at the gate had nothing to do, gathered in the city gate cave to chat and fart, and suddenly saw a heavily armed Yingyang Mansion army appear under the city, they were very surprised, and they ran out to see the excitement.

Someone flew to report that the city was in the city, and the south city was also surprised, he did not receive the news that an army was going to pass through the south city, but since the army was coming, of course he had to take a look and ask to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Before Li Zheng left the house, the soldiers of the Fengyun Regiment had already killed violently, and when they were caught off guard, they sat down in a daze, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

The rebels easily captured the southern city. Along the way, the rebels were invincible and invincible, and now they have advanced to Mengshan Mountain, completely getting rid of the pursuers, and the morale of the soldiers is extremely high, and the cheers are earth-shattering.

Li Fengyun discussed with Chen Rui and Yuan An, and decided to temporarily station an army in Nancheng.

Nancheng is located in the southwest of Langya County and the southwest foot of Mengshan Mountain, adjacent to Lu County and Pengcheng County. Lu County is a large county in the Qilu region, and Pengcheng is an important town in the Xuzhou region, and there are a considerable number of troops stationed in Dutun, which poses a threat to Mengshan.

The garrison of Nancheng is very simple, just send an army, but how to control the entire Nancheng and its surrounding areas, and help the survival and development of the righteous army, requires rich experience in local management, and Li Fengyun is not good at this, so he simply authorized Han Yao to let Han Yao lead the rear army to live in Nancheng temporarily, and then march east to meet after the main force captures Liyu and takes Bian Cheng and Nanwu City, two important places in the north and south.

At noon, Li Fengyun led nine regiments to continue eastward, while Zhang Xiang led one regiment to garrison Nancheng, waiting for Han Yao and the rear army to come.

From the south of the city to the east, all the way to the mountains and mountains, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, about 60 miles after entering the territory of Fei County, and then more than 40 miles, is the Nanwu City. Nambu Castle is located on the bank of the Zhishui River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. It is an ancient city with a long history, famous for the birth of Confucius's disciple Zeng Shen and many historical celebrities.

The rebels arrived at Nambu Castle at dusk the next day. Today's Nanwu Castle is nothing more than a small town, a key pass, undefended, allowing the army in eagle uniforms to swagger into the city.

The rebels first controlled the post station to prevent leakage of news, and then controlled the whole city. The highest-ranking person in Nanwu City was Li Zheng, and this Li Zheng regarded the righteous army as the army of Yingyang Mansion in transit, and he didn't expect that this was actually a counter-army.

Nanwu City is eighty miles away from the city, more than two hundred miles away from Linyi, the capital of Langya County, and eighty miles away from Philadelphia.

Li Fengyun ordered Han Shou to lead a regiment to garrison Nanwu City, and after Zhang Xiang arrived from Nancheng, Zhang Xiang's headquarters were also commanded by Han Shou. Considering that in the future, Nanwu City would become an important pass to block the attacks of the imperial army, Li Fengyun instructed Han Shou to seize the time to strengthen the city, and use the favorable terrain such as mountains and rivers outside the city to build fortifications, and strive to build Nanwu City into an impregnable fortress in the shortest possible time.

Boss Han Shou was unwilling, he wanted to go to the city. It is a county seat, and there are spoils to be divided, while Nanwu City is a place where birds don't, and you may not be able to find valuable objects if you scrape the ground.

Li Fengyun was very unhappy, and in front of the generals, he reprimanded Han Shou fiercely, and took this opportunity to warn the generals that in the future, Mengshan will be everyone's home, and Mengshan people will be brothers and sisters. There is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, this truth is very simple and does not need to be repeated. If the rebels want to survive in Mengshan, if they want to take root in this mountain, if they want to grow stronger on this foundation, they must regard Mengshan as their own home and Mengshan people as their brothers and sisters, otherwise, they will definitely be defeated.

Li Fengyun reiterated military discipline, seventeen bans, fifty-four beheadings, and those who violate discipline will be beheaded! No matter what level of officer you are, no matter how much merit you have, as long as you violate any of the rules of military discipline, behead!

Li Fengyun finally asked Han Shou very strictly, "Do you still want to eat?" ”

Han Shou was silent, and he didn't dare to say half a word.

"After a while, when we have a foothold in Mengshan, we will reorganize the army and train it, and the most important of them is to rectify military discipline." Li Fengyun warned again, "Don't think that in extraordinary times, you can fish in troubled waters." So-and-so solemnly warns you, that if anyone does not give the rebels a way to live and puts his brothers to death, so-and-so will cut off his way of life and cut off his head. ”

The people will be terrified, and everyone will be in danger.
