The thing that Langya County Taishou Dou Xuan was most worried about and what he didn't want to see was still born.

The Mengshan thieves descended the mountain and launched an attack on Philadelphia, which put Linyi in a precarious situation, and especially the transportation route through Langya County was in danger of being interrupted at any time. Dou Xuan was in a hurry, and 100,000 people hurriedly asked for help from the Right Houwei Mansion and Zhou Fashang, and asked for help from the commander of the Donglai Naval Division and the inspector of the Donglai Taishou Lai Hu'er, trying to persuade Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang to send troops to support Langya on the grounds that the situation in Langya had been seriously endangered to the Eastern Expedition of the Naval Division.

Dou Xuan asked Xuzhou for help again, and urgently wrote to Cui Deben, the Cheng of Pengcheng County. Recently, the three counties of Lu, Pengcheng and Langya have reached an agreement on joining forces to encircle and suppress the Mengshan traitors, but the agreement is one thing, how to make a plan and how to implement it is another, and it is still far from the ultimate goal. Since the thieves took control of Mengshan, the communication channel between Lu County and Langya County was immediately interrupted, and the transmission of information between the three counties was very inconvenient. Now if Lu County and Langya County want to send messages to each other, they have to transit through Pengcheng. Fortunately, Cui Deben of Pengcheng County was born noble, whether it was Qilu Duan's family or Guan Longyu's surname Dou's, he had to give Cui's a few thin noodles in terms of etiquette, so it was most appropriate for Cui Deben to coordinate in the middle.

Cui Deben had the intention to suppress thieves and make meritorious contributions, and Liang Dezhong, the military commander of Xuzhou, also gave him the support he could, but it took time to integrate the loose local armed forces of the Zongtuan Township Regiment and form it into a local army that was forbidden by order, and it was necessary to coordinate the interests of local forces.

Cui Deben then urgently wrote to Duan Wencao of Lu County, and forwarded a letter from Dou Xuan asking for help, imploring him to attack Mengshan from the direction of Surabaya, while the Pengcheng local army attacked Mengshan from the direction of Lanling County, and forced the Mengshan thieves to give up attacking Linyi and withdraw to Mengshan with a two-way attack, so as to achieve the goal of rescuing Langya County.

Duan Wencao agreed, but there was actually a limit to what he could do. He also did not complete the formation of the local army, the army of Qi County was taken away by Zhang Xutuo, and only the four regiments and one brigade of Yingyang Mansion could attack Mengshan, and since the defeat of Bian Cheng, Duan Wencao and Yingyang Mansion were very jealous of the Xuzhou thieves and did not dare to attack lightly, especially before the absolute superiority in troops, the Lu County army would not take the initiative to attack Mengshan again.

Now the Xuzhou thieves went to fight Langya County, so that Duan Wencao's nervous feelings could be relieved. He is now afraid that Xuzhou thieves will burn, kill, and plunder in Lu County. The previous events have already made him anxious, if the thieves in Xuzhou came again a year ago, and Zhang Xutuo was far away on the bank of the river to suppress the thieves, and the distant water could not save the fire, then he would not be anxious, but the new and old accounts together, and he would lose his official hat. Okay, now it's easy, the Xuzhou thieves have gone to fight Langya County, it is Dou Xuan who is anxious, Duan Wencao can concentrate on speeding up the construction of the local army, as long as the local army is formed, he has soldiers in his hands, and he will not panic, and the previous "debt" can be repaid.

However, the three counties have agreed to jointly suppress the thieves, driven by common interests, Duan Wencao is not easy to go back on his word, and openly "fall into the well", which is too ugly, so he also responded in vain, and sent all the Yingyang Mansion troops of Lu County, three regiments and one brigade, to attack the mountain and make a show.

At the same time, he told Zhang Xutuo in detail about the attack on Langya County by the Xuzhou thieves, and urged him to kill Wang Bo and other thieves in Qizhou, and then transfer troops to Lu County to support. The date of the Eastern Expedition is getting closer and closer, and the situation in Qilu not only shows no signs of improvement, but because the Xuzhou thieves attacked Langya County, the transportation channel connecting Donglai and Jianghuai is in danger of being interrupted, making the situation in Qilu more and more serious. If the Eastern Expedition was delayed because of this, the emperor and the central government would be furious, and the military and political officials in the counties around Mengshan would be punished, so Duan Wencao had enough reason to urge Zhang Xutuo to rush to Mengshan immediately to suppress the thieves.

Meng Rang captured Philadelphia and swept through Fei County, but Fei County was very poor, and the rebels had little captivity. When the local tycoons heard that Mengshan had fallen into the hands of thieves, they took their property to Linyi early, and some even fled to Xuzhou, and when Meng Rang went down the mountain to attack, the bureaucrats fled again, so although the rebels easily took Philadelphia, they were far from the target of the attack.

Meng Rang was in a dilemma. Retreat, that's impossible. Entering, he only had two targets, one was to go south to fight Linyi, the capital of Langya County, dozens of miles away, and the other was to go north to fight Jucheng, which was more than 200 miles away.

Don't look at Langya County, hundreds of miles, under the jurisdiction of seven counties, but the mountains occupy most of the half, five of which are in the mountains, only Linyi and Jucheng are located in the coastal area of the flat terrain, located on the traffic arteries, so only these two places are more populated and richer. If the rebels of Changbai Mountain want to survive this long winter, they must attack these two cities and plunder them along the transportation routes connecting them, otherwise they can only hide in the mountains and live a bitter life of hunger and cold.

So, next, is it to go south to fight Linyi, or to go north to fight Jucheng?

Linyi is Langya Mansion, stationed in Yingyang Mansion, although the rebel army in the process of attacking Philadelphia, and even after conquering, did not see Linyi dozens of miles away to send troops to counterattack, according to which it can be inferred that the number of defenders in the city is very limited, but it is precisely because of the limited number of defenders in the city that it is necessary to hold on to the city, with a solid defense to wait for reinforcements, this strategy is correct. The government's strategy was correct, and the rebels were blinded. The city of Linyi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, tall and strong, and the righteous army lacks food and clothing, especially lacks siege equipment and siege experience, even if there is an advantage in troops, it cannot conquer the city. What's even stricter is that Linyi City is too close to Xuzhou, and Pengcheng County, Xiapi County, and Donghai County, which border Langya County, all have troops, as long as Linyi asks Xuzhou for help, the armies of these three counties in Xuzhou will soon be able to kill Linyi City.

Meng Rang had no choice but to take the army north to fight Jucheng.

Jucheng is in the north of Langya County, more than 100 miles away from Gaomi County in Ludong Region, and even farther away from Donglai Water Division, which is thousands of miles. Ju County is a county of Langya County, when Jucheng was attacked, it could only ask for help from Fu Linyi, even if it was forced to ask for help from the neighboring Gaomi County or to Donglai, which was stationed in the Middle Earth Water Division, but because it had crossed the level, it would not get the other party's rescue in the short term, so that the righteous army had won enough time to attack Jucheng and plunder Juxian.

When Meng Rang decided to go north to fight Jucheng, his generals questioned it. The righteous army will go north to fight Jucheng, which will inevitably cut off the transportation channel connecting Donglai and Jianghuai, which will definitely anger the Donglai water division, and will make the right Houwei Mansion in charge of the Qilu military furious, and the officials and troops will pour into Langya County in large numbers to fight the rebellion, and at that time, the situation of the righteous army will be difficult, and there is no way out except to hide in the mountains.

Don't you know that Meng Rang's purpose is to attract a large number of Ludong officials and troops into Langya County to fight the rebellion. For the official army, the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army and the Xuzhou Righteous Army are both traitors, both hiding in Mengshan, and they have formed a fatal threat to the transportation channel, and they must be killed, so when the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army hid in Yishan along the Yishui and quietly hid, the target of the Ludong official army must be pointed to Mengshan and Xuzhou Righteous Army. When the Ludong official army attacked Mengshan, the Changbai Mountain rebels could go north into the Ludong area, and take advantage of the chaos in Langya County, swept Gaomi and Beihai, and returned to Qi County again.

Meng Rang told the truth. The generals under the tent looked at each other and smiled, without the slightest guilt or uneasiness. People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed, especially when it comes to their own death, who cares if others live or die?

Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi did not participate in the military conference because of their low official positions, but Meng Rang's decision-making and the secrets hidden behind it were still revealed by some well-intentioned people.

Du and Fu are complicated, and they are speechless at each other. From the point of view of the Qi people, Meng Rang's actions are for the sake of the brothers, and he is worthy of admiration, but from the moral standpoint, this thing is not kind, after all, the Xuzhou Righteous Army has helped the Qi people at the moment of danger, and did not fall into the well when the Qi people were scarred, and generously gave money, food and weapons when the Qi people were hungry and cold, but the Qi people repaid virtue with grievances and revenge. It is conceivable that when the official army encircles and suppresses the Xuzhou Righteous Army, the Chu people will definitely show the truth, and the feud between the two families will be settled.

Du and Fu had the intention of leaving for the first time, but with their strength, how to survive if they left Meng Rang and the righteous army? Therefore, the top priority is to be patient, to cultivate obscurity, to accumulate strength, and only when the time comes, then to be self-reliant and spread their wings.

Zhou Fashang was very unimpressed with Dou Xuan's request for help at first, but considering that the safety of Langya County was directly related to the preliminary preparations for the Eastern Expedition of the Water Division, he still paid enough attention to it, and ordered the Zhucheng Yingyang Mansion stationed in Gaomi County to immediately send people into Langya County to inquire about the military situation and prepare for support.

Soon, Zhou Fashang received a report from the Yingyang Mansion in Zhucheng, the Mengshan thieves were burning and killing and plundering in Langya County, and one of the thief armies was attacking Jucheng and looting Juxian, and the transportation channel connecting Donglai and Jianghuai had been interrupted.

Zhou Fashang was furious, and immediately ordered to transfer five regiments of troops from Zhuyingyang in the three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Gaomi in the eastern Ludong region to rush to Langya County day and night to fight the rebellion.

He also urgently wrote to Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, sternly warned him to immediately kill the traitors in the territory, and then entered Lu County, fought hand in hand with Zhu Yingyang of Lu County, and stormed Mengshan from the first line of Surabaya. At present, only the local army of Qi County was built with the special approval of the emperor and the center, and was subordinate to the Right Houwei Mansion, and Zhang Xutuo, as the commander of the local army of Qi County, naturally had to obey Zhou Fashang's orders.

Considering that the Xuzhou Zhuyingyang troops were relatively sufficient, Zhou Fashang urgently reported to the emperor and the center, and implored the Eastern Capital to issue an order to ask the Xuzhou Zuo Xiaowei Mansion to transfer troops to support Langya County, and cooperate with the Zhuyingyang of Lu County and Langya County to encircle and suppress the Mengshan bandits on three sides.
