6 Ping refused to surrender, and although anger and pain made him almost lose his mind, he was well aware of the consequences of losing his heavy troops.

He hadn't slept a single peaceful sleep since he accepted this mission, and he had to pay with his life to ensure the safety of the heavy soldiers, who were in the heavy army, and who were killed. Now that the army is not guaranteed, he would rather die than live in the world. Died to protect the heavy soldiers, the family can still be safe, and surrendered, even if his life is temporarily saved, but what will happen in the future? How to ensure the safety of family members? I'd rather die than surrender.

Li Fengyun sneered, chopped off the heads of the two captains, hung them on Liuping's chest, stuck his neck, and pushed them out of the cabin, "Cruise to show the public".

Outside the cabin, the Eagle Yang Wei who was guarding the ship was fighting fiercely with the soldiers of the Fengyun Brigade, and suddenly saw that his superiors were being held hostage, the two captains were dead, and the three highest officers were all wiped out, and they suddenly lost their will to fight. The commanders are all dead, so what are you fighting? Disarm and surrender. So they summoned the guards of the ships and surrendered to them.

The rebels roared with joy. A miracle happened, and the rebels captured the fleet carrying heavy troops without bloodshed, and the harvest was amazing.

The next day, the Taishou of the county received the news that the heavy fleet had been robbed and almost fainted. It's over, the gods can't save him, it's a trivial matter for the official hat to fall off, and I'm afraid that his life will not be saved. immediately gritted his teeth and hated Fei Huai, if it weren't for the fact that this son didn't listen to the advice and crossed the border to chase and kill the traitor without authorization, how could he stop causing such a shocking disaster? Then he hurriedly played the eastern capital and impeached Fei Huai. He also urgently reported to Pengcheng Zuo Xiaowei Mansion and asked Dong Chun to send troops to encircle and suppress the traitors. It is necessary to recover the heavy troops, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. In the end, Fei Huai, boy, the heavy soldiers were robbed, you are dead, now don't say that your father is the Wu Benlang general of the Wei Mansion, even if your father is the central ruler, he can't protect the head on your neck.

Fei Huai was delayed for a day at the foot of Mangdang Mountain. He couldn't believe that he had lost his target, and he was furious and beat several of his scouts to death. Wang Yang also sighed helplessly, not that the thieves were cunning, but that the government soldiers were vulnerable. Middle-earth has been peaceful for a long time, the armament is in disuse, and the government soldiers are negligent in training, just like a knife in a box, which is not sharpened in peacetime, but it is rusty and dull when it is ready to be used, who can complain?

Fortunately, the scouts finally found clues the next day, and Fei Huai hurriedly pursued south. Unexpectedly, an urgent letter was received from the county guard, and the heavy troops were robbed, and all the weapons, the eagle guards of the ships, the boatmen of the fleet, and the sailors were all looted away by the traitors.

Fei Huai was extremely shocked. These days, he had been enraged by the traitors, and in the anguish and despair of his future being ruined, he had cast his anger on the murder of the thieves, and he had put aside the matter of protecting the heavy fleet. Wang Yang is the same, in his memory, this fleet should not have entered the country yet, why was it suddenly robbed in Linlian? Could it be that someone has misremembered the time? He didn't remember the time wrong, but because he was so bent on suppressing the thief that he had forgotten the time.

Fei Huai was in pain, not because his head was difficult to protect, but because a series of setbacks had destroyed his self-confidence. Fei Huai has been smooth sailing for decades, in his thirties, he worships the eagle and raises the general, has a lot of achievements, has a successful career, thinks that he is a civil and military strategy, has the ability to inspire words, guide the country, and have the talent to help the world, who knows that today he was played by a few small thieves in the palm of his hand, and he was played around, and even his life was lost, this kind of blow and frustration was fatal, it suddenly destroyed Fei Yao's self-confidence, so that he was discouraged and had no business.

What's next? Do you give up the pursuit, obey the county guard, return to Yongcheng to dredge the waterway, wait for the holy decree of dismissal and imprisonment, and wait for death, or chase and kill to the end and swear to kill the thief?

Fei Yao is unwilling to give up, he can have no self-confidence, but he can't have a tenacious will, anyway, he is dead, rather than dying on the execution ground and letting countless people see jokes, it is better to die on the battlefield and die with the thief.

Wang Yang made the same choice: chase, chase and kill to the end, it's a big deal to burn the jade.

The two officials of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion led their troops straight to the Linjuan section of the canal, where the heavy fleet was robbed. What caught the eye was a mess, and after the thieves succeeded in plundering, they set another fire and burned the fleet. Fortunately, the nearby ships saw that there were thieves robbing and stayed away one after another, and they escaped by luck, which also kept the channel partially open and not completely interrupted.

Fei Huai sent his guards to find a nearby boatman and sailor to inquire about clues, and the result couldn't help but make him secretly shocked.

Han Yao has a good method, he has gathered thousands of people in a short period of time, and now he has robbed the heavy fleet, and his strength has skyrocketed, and it is estimated that there will definitely be greater actions in the future. It's just that Fei Huai is puzzled, why did Han Yao rebel? What was the purpose of the rebellion? He is a well-deserved head snake in Qiaojun, he wants wind and wind, rain and rain, and he lacks nothing, why do you have to live a good life, but you have to go to the days of licking blood with a knife? Fei Huai really couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think too much about it, for him, there was only one thing at the moment, catch up, kill, kill him and turn over on his back, and the corpses were all over the field.

Fei Huai and Wang Yang immediately ignored the advice of the county guard, led the army to continue the pursuit, and once again entered the territory of Pengcheng County. But this time it's into Qi County.

Qi County is in the southernmost part of Pengcheng County. It was Han Yao who proposed going south to Qi County. Han Yao was also very aware of the consequences of plundering heavy troops. Your small-scale and small-scale rebellion is like a mosquito biting a tiger, it is insignificant, and the imperial court will not pay attention to it, at most it will urge the local government and the Yingyang Mansion to do their best to fight the chaos. But if you plunder enough heavy weapons to equip 5,000 elite soldiers, you will not be a mosquito, but a bird of prey with sharp teeth, and you already have the ability to destabilize the situation in the local area, threatening the security and stability of the country, the imperial court will be extremely concerned, and the emperor and the center will mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them on all sides, and will return the heavy troops at any cost.

It is foreseeable that in the next half month, the Yingyang Mansions in Henan (mainly referring to the Greater Gyeonggi Region centered on the eastern capital Luoyang), Yu (Ying and Ru regions), and Xu (the area north of the Zhun River centered on Pengcheng) will flock to the country. With the current strength of the rebel army, it is simply unable to resist, and the only way to retreat is to make a strategic retreat.

Where to retreat? If you retreat in the three directions of northeast, east and west, you will collide head-on with the Yingyang Mansion that is ordered to fight the chaos, and all the safer retreat directions for the time being are to go south and cross the Huai River into the Jianghuai area.

Li Fengyun and Chen Rui did not object, but they did not explicitly support this construction, but vaguely said that they would take one step at a time, go south to Qi County, and temporarily reorganize.

The battle captured a huge amount, and it was a much-needed weapon for the rebels. Weapons are the guarantee of the survival of the rebels, with weapons, the strength of the rebels has skyrocketed, and the confidence and morale of the soldiers have also skyrocketed, and with it, the prestige of the white marshal Li Fengyun has skyrocketed.

Everyone was quite troubled by this battle before, especially Han Yao and his subordinates, and their confidence was even less. The heavy fleet is protected by Eagle Yang Guard, and Eagle Yang Mansion will also send troops to protect it along the way, and there is no chance of winning this battle. Unexpectedly, the result surprised everyone, the war drums of the attack "dong dong" sounded, and before the rebel soldiers launched a full-scale attack, the eagle guards on the ship surrendered without a fight.

Afterwards, everyone knew that the credit was all Bai Shuai. He disguised himself, went deep into the tiger's den, single-handedly slaughtered two captains, captured an eagle to attack the general, and the guide zhì escorted the ship eagle to defend the dragons, falling into chaos, and then Bai Shuai threatened the life of the eagle strike general, and forced his officers to order surrender, so that the rebels plundered an entire fleet without blood.

That's a lot of credit. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and I don't know if someone was behind the manipulation, in short, this matter has been greatly exaggerated, and after the spread of false rumors, Bai Shuai has become a legendary hero, and his tall image is deeply rooted in the hearts of every righteous soldier, respected by everyone, and although the impact caused by this is not obvious in the short term, but after that, if the righteous army has frequent successes and rapid growth, its influence will be difficult to estimate.

Han Yao didn't care about this, he was confident in himself, and his subordinates would not change their doors and turn their backs on their benefactors, of course, if he wanted to always win the loyalty of his subordinates, he had to work hard to protect the vital interests of his subordinates, so he was extremely strong in the distribution of spoils.

The distribution plan proposed by Han Yao was that the two captured regiments of 400 eagle guards would be owned by the Han army, while the more than 600 boatmen, sailors, and miscellaneous servants who were coerced would be owned by the Cangtou army. Heavy soldiers such as long knives, long lances, and crossbows, as well as ordinary weapons such as swords, bows, and arrows, were divided into two, and half of the army was obtained.

According to this distribution plan, Han Yao took advantage of it. Ying Yangwei is a government soldier, a professional soldier, even if they are negligent in training and have not fought for many years, they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are proficient in all kinds of martial arts with knives, guns and sticks, and some are even skilled in bows and horses, and they know everything about war. That's the skill they rely on to eat, how can they not know? Therefore, the survivability of government soldiers, especially on the battlefield, is much higher than that of ordinary people. The boatman and sailor eat strength rice, although they have water skills, but the limitations are too great, as for martial arts, they are not at all, and most of them have not even touched a knife, let alone fight and kill.

Han Yao asked for 400 eagles to defend himself, but he gave 600 strong men to Li Fengyun, it seems that Li Fengyun took advantage, but fools know that it was Han Yao who actually took a big advantage. Half of the heavy weapons seem reasonable, but in fact, Han Yao takes advantage. Han Yao has a small army, Li Fengyun has a large army, and with such a "fair" distribution, Li Yunfeng obviously suffers.

Han Yao's blatant taking advantage of him has his own purpose. He took retreat as advance, attacked strongly, took the initiative first, and forced Li Fengyun to compromise. If he falls into passivity first and is pressed by Li Fengyun step by step, he will be the one who will finally compromise, so the interests of the army will inevitably be damaged.

Li Fengyun knew that he could only compromise and let Han Yao take advantage of one of them. So Li Fengyun summoned Chen Rui, Lu Xingxing and others to discuss, unified their understanding, and then told Han Yao that the Cangtou Army accepted more than 600 boatmen, sailors, and miscellaneous laborers, but on this basis, three regiments should be built, so that the Cangtou Army would have seven regiments and one brigade, 1,500 people, while the Cangtou Army would be expanded to six regiments of 1,200 people, so that it would be inappropriate for the two armies to divide their weapons equally.

Han Yao was satisfied, his real purpose was to go to the two groups of eagles. Weapons are good, especially heavy soldiers, but they need the right people to use them to make the best use of them and wield the maximum power, otherwise they are cumbersome and waste, so it is better not to.

Li Fengyun's idea is completely opposite to Han Yao's. He also wants people, weapons in the second place, but he only wants boatmen, sailors, for no other reason, the poor are simple and honest, very obedient, as long as you treat them well, respect them, care for them, they will repay you with their lives. During the war years, if an army wanted to survive in a difficult environment, the most important thing was not martial arts or combat experience, but strict military discipline, high morale, and strong cohesion.

Both sides take what they need, and they are all happy. Han Yao thought he had taken advantage, but Li Fengyun secretly snickered, "Mr. Han, you're going to fall down." ”

The rebels had just rested for two days, and the scouts flew to report that Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion was chasing after them, and they were close at hand.
