As soon as Zhang Xutuo led his army to Qufu, Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming led the army to retreat to Fangshan and set up a defensive battle formation at the key pass of Fangshan.

Zhang Xutuo had no intention of attacking Fangshan, nor did he intend to help Duan Wencao recover Surabaya County, after the Xuzhou rebels withdrew from Qufu, he sent troops to the south bank of Surabaya, so that he could cross the river to the north at any time to rush to Juping and Liang's father.

However, the battle situation was unpredictable, and before he could catch his breath in Qufu, he received an urgent message from Qin Qiong, and the Xuzhou thief army had already killed Liang's father city.

The Xuzhou thief army is not Zhang Xutuo's goal, Zhang Xutuo's goal is the Qizhou thief, he needs to find the main force of the Qizhou thief, and the situation he wants to see most is that the Qizhou thief breaks through from the direction of Bocheng, so that he can attack according to the established strategy and achieve the purpose of the attack. Because there was no movement from Bocheng, Zhang Xutuo did not move, and stood still on the south bank of Surabaya.

Duan Wen stumbled and lost the battle, and was very embarrassed, avoiding Zhang Xutuo, but out of politeness and the need for cooperation, he asked his nephew Duan Lun to thank Zhang Xutuo on his behalf and treat Qi Jun.

Zhang Xutuo understands Duan Wencao's current embarrassing situation, and besides, Duan Lun is the son of Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, although the two sides belong to different political groups and have different interests, but as far as Zhang Xutuo's current situation is concerned, without the full support of the Heluo aristocratic group headed by Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he can only be "self-reliant" and strive to win cooperation with all forces on the basis of the common interest of fighting chaos and suppressing thieves.

If Zhang Xutuo wants to build a rebellion in Qilu, he must first win the support of Duan Wenzhen, and the chaos in Qilu will inevitably damage the interests of the Qilu people, so this is a pair of sharp contradictions, and whether this contradiction can be successfully resolved is not how Zhang Xutuo fights the chaos, but how Duan Wenzhen and the Qilu nobles balance the interests of all parties.

Zhang Xutuo gave Duan Lun a banquet, and there was a lot of goodwill in his words, and at the same time, he also made a subtle temptation to find out what Duan's opinion he had about his rebellion and thieves.

Duan's attitude on this matter is very contradictory, from the position of the Eastern Crusade, Duan does not want the Qilu people to raise troops to rebel at this juncture, and then affect the process of the Eastern Crusade, so they support the suppression of thieves, but from the interests of the Qilu people, Duan does not want to see the miserable situation of Qi people killing Qi people, so he does not support the suppression of thieves. This contradictory attitude made the Duan clan waver in the matter of fighting chaos and suppressing thieves.

Fortunately, the Xuzhou thieves occupied Mengshan, which directly threatened the safety of Langya County, and once Langya County fell, it would inevitably affect the river crossing operations of the Donglai Water Division and affect the great cause of the Eastern Expedition.

Duan's strategy was immediately drawn up, concentrating the forces of the Qilu region and making concerted efforts to suppress the Xuzhou thieves, so as to ensure that the eastern crusade would proceed smoothly and that Qilu bureaucrats such as Zhang Xutuo could contribute to the rebellion.

Zhang Xutuo understood, not only should the two sides cooperate in the future, but also unite more forces to cooperate, even including cooperation with the Xuzhou aristocratic group, but in this way, can the Qizhou thieves be suppressed? Of course, he wants to suppress, but if Zhang Xutuo wants to stay in the Qilu region, if he wants to maintain cooperation with the Qilu nobles, he can't kill on a large scale, and considering that the next target of the Qi army's thieves is the Xuzhou thieves, the stability of Qi County is very important, and his only way is to drive the Qizhou thieves out of Qi County. Where to go? Winter is coming, the river is about to freeze, as long as the plan is right, Zhang Xutuo is fully capable of driving the Qizhou thieves to Hebei and driving them out of the Qilu region. In the spring of the coming year, the spring flowers will bloom, the river will thaw, and the natural danger of the river will be blocked, and it will be difficult for the Qizhou thieves to kill them again, so Zhang Xutuo can concentrate on killing the Xuzhou thieves.

The guests and hosts drank and talked happily.

That night, Zhang Xutuo slept soundly, and when he woke up, he saw Qin Qiong's urgency.

The attack power of the Xuzhou thieves was very strong, and they captured Liang's father city with a devastating momentum, and according to Luo Shixin and the Licheng soldiers who fled back, they didn't know how the Xuzhou thieves entered the city, and they didn't know how the fire in the city was ignited. The Xuzhou thieves immediately killed Yangguan, and Yangguan suffered the enemy on his back. It was just this Bocheng urgent report, the main force of Qizhou thieves attacked Bocheng and wanted to break through from the direction of Bocheng, Jia Wuben and Yang Qian deduced from this that the attack on Yangguan was a partial division of the Qizhou thief army and a bait. Qin Qiong decisively ordered to abandon Yangguan, and led the two township regiments of Licheng and Linyi to Bocheng overnight, intending to encircle and annihilate the main force of Qizhou thieves.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xutuo immediately wrote a secret letter to Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong and Yang Qian. Considering the drastic changes in the situation in Qilu, the Qi army urgently needs to preserve its strength, and the thief army must sacrifice their lives in order to survive. Kill 1,000 enemies, 800 self-losses, even if the Qizhou thieves are completely annihilated in this battle, the Qi army may also be lost, once the Qi army loses its combat effectiveness, what will be used to deal with the rapidly changing Qilu situation?

Between the lines of this secret letter, it is very clear that Zhang Xutuo has an attitude that cannot be declared, that is, "raising the self-respect", and the reason why "raising the self-respect" is not Zhang Xutuo's selfishness, but the pressure exerted by the Qilu aristocratic group. It is foreseeable that once Zhang Xutuo completely annihilates the Qizhou thieves, he will inevitably become the "public enemy" of the Qilu aristocratic group. He has made a contribution to fighting the rebellion, but he can't stay in the Qilu area, if the Shandong magnates in the court with Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, join forces to "beat" him, his career will basically reach the top, and he will be beaten to a backward, remote and barren county for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xutuo's letter was delivered to the Bocheng battlefield that night.

Yang Qian defended Bo City. Qin Qiong also arrived in Bocheng, and Jia Wuben also killed from the ambush site. In the eyes of the Qi army, Wang Bo and the main force of the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army had fallen into encirclement and were about to be defeated.

However, Wang Bo already had a countermeasure, he knew that Bocheng was a trap, how could he jump with his eyes open?

Wang Bo stormed Bo City, and his purpose was to attract the attention of the officials and troops. In the official army to stick to the city, at the foot of Mount Tai ambush officers and troops have not yet killed, in Juping, Liang's father line of the officers and troops have not rushed back, before the completion of the encirclement of the righteous army, he turned the main force into zero, one pretended to be the main force to attack the city, one is composed of old and weak women and children, first open the way, go straight to the foot of Mount Tai, and the ambush at the foot of Mount Tai The officers and soldiers saw that it was the old and weak women and children, they would not shoot, but continued to ambush, patiently waiting for the main force of the righteous army to appear. The main force of the real rebel army was all reduced to zero at this moment, and it was secretly hidden in the hills and mountains between Bocheng and the southern foot of Mount Tai.

Just wait for the official army to complete the encirclement, and after the main force of the current righteous army has already fled, it must be thought that there is a problem with the "old and weak women and children" who were released before, and the main force of the righteous army may be mixed with the old and weak women and children and flee, so they turn the horse's head and chase after the tail.

As soon as the official army returned to Qi County, Wang Bo quickly integrated the scattered and hidden main forces and followed the official army back to Qi County.

The most ruthless trick in this strategy is to lose the car to protect the handsome, that is, to give up all the old and weak women and children who follow the righteous army, so that the survival and combat ability of the main force of the righteous army will be greatly improved, and only in this way can the Changbai Mountain righteous army hope to fight a bloody road.

That night, the Qi army attacked, Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong and Yang Qian came out in three ways, but the result was that the bamboo basket was empty, they did not catch Wang Bo, nor did they succeed in encircling and annihilating the main force of the thief army, although the trap they set was very clever, but the thief army was more clever and cunning than them, and miraculously slipped out of the trap.

As soon as the three of them discussed, they immediately determined that the main force of the thief army was still near Bocheng, and was still lurking on both sides of Wenshui, and the old and weak women and children who had escaped from the foot of Mount Tai were just bait. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the main force of the thief army is rushing towards Yangguan at the moment, taking advantage of its partial division and the Xuzhou thief army to capture Yangguan, the fire south to Mengshan.

If the main force of the thief army is still near Bocheng, they can still fight again, on the contrary, if the main force of the thief army has gone south to Yangguan, then the big thing will go, and this result makes them very frustrated, they wanted to design to kill the thief army, but they expected to be calculated by the thief army, jumped into the trap they dug, and watched the thief army advance into Mengshan.

At this moment, Zhang Xutuo's secret letter arrived. In the letter, Zhang Xutuo told them in a very positive tone that the Qizhou thieves would definitely return to Qi County, and the reason was very simple, this was what Duan said. Since the Duan clan said that the Qi Zhou thieves must kill back to Qi County, there is still no need to question it? The reason why the Duan clan adopted a cooperative attitude was also very simple, because Mengshan was occupied by a group of Xuzhou thieves, and the target of the next Qilu area to suppress the thieves was the Xuzhou thieves. So, where do the Qizhou thieves go? Can't you suppress it? Based on the analysis of the positions of all forces, coupled with the fact that the river is about to freeze, it is not difficult to speculate where the desperate Qizhou thieves will flee.

The task of the Qi army in the future is to continue to pursue and suppress the Qizhou thieves until the Qizhou thieves are driven across the river.

Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, and Yang Qian immediately understood Zhang Xutuo's true intentions. Qin Qiong resolutely can't speak, nor does he offer advice, he is a Qi person, he wants to avoid suspicion. Jia Wuben is a Hedong nobleman and a member of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and Yang Qian's origin and identity are very mysterious. Qin Qiong's status is the lowest among the three, so of course she has to keep her mouth shut. Jia Wuben's aristocratic rank is also low, and the difference between Yang Qian's aristocratic rank is too great, if it weren't for Yang Qian's requirement to strictly guard his secrets, Jia Wuben wouldn't even be qualified to sit in front of him, so Jia Wuben wouldn't speak.

Yang Qian is the Sima of Licheng Yingyang Mansion, and he is the only military official in the Qi army at present, and when Zhang Xutuo is not there, it is normal for him to make decisions.

Yang Qian did not give in, and immediately came up with a decision, planned the plan, pursued it overnight, and killed back to Qi County.

Two days later, Wang Bo got the exact news from the scouts that after the Qi army did return to Qi County, he reorganized his army, flew over Mount Tai, and then returned to Qi County, but his goal was no longer Changbai Mountain, but to go north and run towards the big river.

Zhang Xutuo went to Lujun Mansion to visit Duan Wencao and heard an astonishing news.
