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

At the end of February, the Holy Lord issued a decree to pardon a large number of military commanders with Yuwen Shu as the commander of the Second Eastern Crusade, allowing them to return to Weifu to command the army, and requiring them to atone for their crimes on the battlefield of the Second Eastern Crusade

This holy decree shows that in order to win the Second Crusade, the Holy Lord had to compromise and concede to the military at the critical moment when the Second Eastern Crusade was about to begin, and the most direct impact of this compromise was to strike at the authority of the Holy Lord and the center.

The Eastern Crusade was defeated and 200,000 soldiers were killed, and this responsibility must be borne by others. In order to maintain their authority, since the Holy Lord and the center have let the military assume this responsibility, they must stick to the end, they cannot compromise and make concessions, they cannot change their orders overnight, and they cannot slap themselves in the mouth, however, the key to whether the Second Eastern Crusade can be won is not the strategy of the Holy Lord and the center, but whether the military commanders are willing to serve it, and the result is that today's "political disaster" has caused today's "political disaster", and the impact of this "political disaster" on the political situation in the eastern capital has reached a fatal point.

At the same time, the Holy Lord ordered Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to suppress the thieves within a time limit, to ensure the stability of the situation in Qilu, and to ensure that the Donglai sailors could cross the sea as scheduled.

He also ordered Hebei to arrest the master Cui Hongsheng, and at the same time as he inspected General Zuo Wuwei, he also inspected Hejian Taishou, took charge of Hebei's military and political power, ordered him to suppress thieves within a time limit, and ordered him to take into account the safety of Hebei to ensure that the Yongji Canal was unimpeded during the Second Eastern Crusade. Now the Hebei rebellion is mainly concentrated in the southern part of Hebei, but there are also heroes in the northern part of Hebei who are ready to move, especially the Taihang Mountain bandits, who are frequently active between Youyan Heng and Hebei and Jin, causing the situation in this area to become more and more tense.

Yang Lan, the king of Qi, decisively ended the military operation to encircle and suppress Mengshan, and instead concentrated the main force to advance towards Qi County.

Li Fengyun had already received Wang Bo's reply, a little surprised, although he expected that the Hebei people would be very cautious about the trip to the south, but he didn't expect that caution would be cautious, but the Hebei heroes were extremely confident, and they didn't take Zhang Xutuo in their eyes at all. But think about it, so far, Zhang Xutuo has defeated Wang Bo, Meng Rang and a few other Changbai Mountain rebel leaders, and he has not been invincible between Henan and Qilu, so it is not surprising that Hebei people look down on him.

It's just that this will be cheaper Li Fengyun, he doesn't need to continue to attack Licheng to induce the Hebei people to go south, just as Yang Lan, the king of Qi, began to advance towards Qi County, so Li Fengyun decisively withdrew his troops, and tens of thousands of horses and horses were withdrawn to Yu Jingjing overnight.

As soon as the alliance army withdrew, the Changbai Mountain Rebels and the Beihai Rebels were left outside the city, which was equivalent to telling Zhang Xutuo in the city that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was killed, forcing Li Fengyun to turn back and fight with Yang Lan, the king of Qi.

Zhang Xutuo did not go out of the city, because Li Fengyun retreated too cleanly, and it was clear that there was a trap outside the city, and the trap was nothing more than to lure Zhang Xutuo out of the city, and then the Hebei thieves took the opportunity to kill it, and the three-way righteous army carried out a flanking attack and annihilated it in the wilderness outside the city.

As for Yang Lan, the king of Qi, Zhang Xutuo didn't believe that he would kill Li Fengyun at all, it was a very simple matter, if Yang Lan, the king of Qi, killed him at any cost, would Li Fengyun be able to withdraw from the Central Plains unharmed? Later, in Xuzhou, he could calmly beat Liang Dezhong and annihilate the whole army? There must be a "dirty" between the two, one bright and one dark joined forces to manipulate the situation, Li Fengyun took the opportunity to show his strength, and Qi King Yang Lan took the opportunity to expand his strength and take advantage of each other, so Zhang Xutuo did not ask Qi King Yang Lan for help from beginning to end. Of course, King Qi was exiled by the Holy Lord in disguise and lost his qualification as the heir of the imperial throne, which was also one of the important reasons why Zhang Xutuo was reluctant to contact King Qi, worried that he would be accidentally affected by the unlucky King of Qi.

Zhang Xutuo secretly sent a messenger to Donglai as soon as possible to ask for help from the sailor.

At this moment, the chief manager of the water division has not come back yet, but the deputy chief Zhou Fashang has returned. It takes time to come to Hu'er to Jianghuai to recruit eagles and guards, recruit strong and brave, and it takes time to go 6 ways, so it is slower, and Zhou Fashang went to Jiangnan to directly recruit warships and sailors, all of which are formed into a team to directly allocate sailors, which is fast and convenient, and after completing the task, sail along the sea route and soon return to Donglai.

Zhang Xutuo came up with a strategy to suppress thieves and asked Zhou Fashang's opinion.

Zhang Xutuo has a great "appetite" and plans to eat three at a time, not only to eat Li Fengyun's rebel alliance, to eat Changbai Mountain and Beihai rebels, but also to eat Hebei rebels. For this reason, he decided to risk his life, took the initiative to jump into the trap set by the rebels, first went out of the city to chase and kill the Changbai Mountain and Beihai rebels, and at the same time lured the Hebei rebels into the battlefield of Qi County, and completed his work in one battle, solving all problems in one battle.

However, if you want to complete this strategy, there are two prerequisites: first, the Donglai Naval Division must quietly enter the battlefield of Qi County, cut off the retreat of the Hebei Righteous Army, and then attack Zhang Xutuo from the north and south, only in this way can the official army have the strength to completely annihilate the three rebel armies of Changbai Mountain, Beihai and Hebei; Secondly, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, must do his best to drag Li Fengyun and prevent Li Fengyun from having any chance to join the battlefield of Qi County, only in this way can the official army ensure the superiority of troops on the decisive battlefield, and the other is to prevent Yang Lan, the king of Qi, from taking advantage of the exhaustion of the official army, to suddenly make a black hand and take the opportunity to control Qilu.

Zhou Fashang invited Cui Junsu, and the two discussed repeatedly, and both felt that Zhang Xutuo's strategy was feasible, if he could complete his work in one battle, it would not only help stabilize the situation in Qilu, but also help the sailors to cross the sea expedition, but the first condition is easy to meet, and the second condition is difficult, who can "command" Yang Lan, the king of Qi? Who dares to openly confront King Yang of Qi?

"Qiao Gong, if the sailor wants to attack quietly and enter the waterway of the big river without knowing it, he must hide it from Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong)?" Cui Junsu said bluntly.

Li Zixiong is a local nobleman in Guanlong, and is a supporter of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and Yang Lan has taken advantage of the opportunity of the rebellion outside the country to expand his power to Henan and Xuzhou, and the next must be Qilu, although there is no evidence so far that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the white thief Li Fengyun have "colluded", but the "tacit understanding" between the two sides is obvious to all, and this "tacit understanding" will obviously endanger the situation of the Qi County War, so the secrets about the Qi County War, no matter what, Li Zixiong can not let Li Zixiong know, this is a matter of course.

"What's going to happen?" Zhou Fashang asked.

"Let him support Zhang Xutuo from the 6th route." Cui Junsu said, "Only this excuse is the most appropriate." ”

Zhou Fashang frowned slightly, "How about two thousand people?" ”

Cui Junsu shook his hand resolutely, "Duke Jianchang is a general of a hundred battles, and giving him two thousand men and horses is enough to ⊥ him to subvert the entire battle situation in Qi County." Then Cui Junsu stretched out two fingers, "Give him two regiments, it's enough." ”

Two regiments? Four hundred? Zhou Fashang smiled bitterly, didn't you openly slap Li Zixiong in the face and insult Li Zixiong? You might as well tell him directly, the sailor is my territory, you get out of here and talk about Li Zixiong and others who are old and sophisticated, you will see through the mystery at a glance, and you can immediately guess that the sailor will support Zhang Xutuo with the main force.

"You are not deceiving Jianchang Gong, but publicly suing him that we are going to support Zhang Xutuo."

Cui Junsu sneered and asked, "Gong Qiao won't think that Gong Jianchang is confused, if you give him 2,000 men and horses, he won't be able to guess our true intentions?" ”

Zhou Fashang thought about it, what kind of character is Li Zixiong? Can such a clumsy trick be hidden from him? If you don't do it well, you will bring humiliation on yourself, and you are not a person inside and out. From this point of view, Cui Junsu intends to take this opportunity to tear his face and publicly drive Li Zixiong out of the water division. It's just that in this way, it doesn't matter if he offends King Yang Mu, he is afraid that he will not be able to explain in front of the Holy Lord.

Cui Junsu saw Zhou Fashang's hesitation, and immediately said with a pun, "Duke Qiao should know under what circumstances the Holy Lord reinstated the Duke of Jianchang. ”

Zhou Fashang nodded, comprehending. Li Zixiong is a respected conservative in the court, and the reappointment of such a prominent conservative magnate is by no means what the Holy Lord wants, but is forced to be helpless, and it is a political compromise, that is to say, as long as the Holy Lord finds an opportunity, he will not hesitate to defeat this stubborn conservative.

Zhou Fashang understood Cui Junsu's intentions, and it must be something that the Holy Lord would be happy to see Li Zixiong out of the Water Division, and after Li Zixiong came out of the Water Division, he would inevitably go to the King of Qi Yang Lan, once he helped the King of Qi Yang Lan to control Qilu, he would offend the Holy Lord again, Li Zixiong would be difficult not to die, on the contrary, if he failed to help the King of Qi Yang Lan to control Qilu, but his behavior of helping the King of Qi Yang Lan still could not be forgiven by the Holy Lord, Li Zixiong would still be unlucky.

However, as Cui Junsu said, Li Zixiong is a general of a hundred battles, very outstanding in civil and military affairs, and one of the most famous generals in Middle Earth.

"Zhang Xutuo's mind is too big, and he eats three anti-thieves in one bite, and he is not afraid to hold on?" Zhou Fashang made a tentative speech to see what Cui Junsu thought, whether he even brought the King of Qi Yang Lan to the pot.

"Zhang Xutuo is arrogant, with his strength, he needs the support of the water master to eat two anti-thieves, let alone eat three." Cui Junsu sneered, "Sue him, after Li Zixiong went to the battlefield in Qi County, don't expect to eat three at all, put all your energy on eating one and eating two." ”

Zhou Fashang frowned slightly, "If he carelessly underestimates the enemy and dismisses our warning, don't say that he will eat two, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save himself." ”

"King Qi is now a plague god that everyone avoids, and Zhang Xutuo should be very clear about this, and he will not have the idea of indifference." Cui Junsu said, "We warned, and as long as he was a little careful, he could guess our true intentions." ”

Zhou Fashang stroked his beard and smiled, thinking deeply. What is genuine intent? It's just to take advantage of this opportunity to confirm the secret of the collusion between Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the white thief, so that the Holy Lord can take back the military power of the King of Qi and recall the King of Qi back to the Eastern Capital.
