Li Fengyun decided to fight.

The exhibition of the righteous army was amazing, not only Li Fengyun was unexpected, but more than 100 people who gathered in Mangdang Mountain that day were also unbelievable, and they admired Li Fengyun extremely and worshiped him like a god. Li Fengyun said that he wanted to fight, and everyone obeyed his words and had no objections.

Qi County has a long history and is also a famous ancient battlefield. In the past, the Qin general Wang Jian defeated the Chu army in Jinan and killed the Chu general Xiang Yan. The place where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled was in Daze Township, on the east bank of the Lianshui River in Qi County.

Li Fengyun took Xu Shisan and a few guards to ride the captured horses (horses used to pull carts), walked along the east bank of the river, visited the ancient battlefield, and went to see Daze Township, so he decided to fight with Fei Huai in Daze Township.

When he sued Han Yao about the idea, Han Yao flatly rejected it. He knows Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion, and he knows more about Yingyanglang General Fei Huai and Yingyanglang General Wang Yang. Although Li Fengyun always took the initiative in the confrontation with them, and even attacked them halfway by the Suishui River, easily destroying a regiment of Yingyang Mansion, but it was taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and taking Yingyang Mansion by surprise. In fact, Yongcheng Eagle Mansion never had the opportunity to show its strong force, and if the two sides went head-to-head, the rebels would definitely not be an opponent. Now that Li Fengyun's self-confidence has swelled, he has been carried away by victory, and he has to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, and he has to fight head-on with Yingyang Mansion, isn't he seeking his own death?

Han Yao was resolutely opposed and had no room for negotiation. He insisted on crossing the Huai River to the south for a very good reason, staying away from the Grand Gyeonggi and the Grand Canal, and finding a remote place in the Jianghuai River to solve the problem of survival first. At this moment, the whole country is preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and the Eastern Capital, the local government, and the Yingyang Mansion are all focused on the Eastern Expedition. There is no credit for extermination, but if it is repeatedly suppressed, there is a danger of losing officials and losing one's life, so it is not difficult to speculate that once the rebel army hides in Jianghuai, the local government and Yingyang Mansion in Jianghuai will definitely turn a blind eye and disobey the rebellion in the eastern capital. This is obviously conducive to the survival of the righteous army, but after the victory of the Eastern Crusade, the domestic situation has changed, the eastern capital, the local government, and the Yingyang Mansion have the energy to suppress the rebellion, and the righteous army has also grown stronger, and there is also a territory, which can compete with the imperial court.

Han Yao's analysis and inference were well-founded and very convincing, but Li Fengyun's subordinates had already known Bai Shuai's vision for the future of the rebel army, and this idea was superior to Han Yao's strategy of crossing Huai, and more importantly, they believed in Li Fengyun, but did not trust Han Yao.

After Li Fengyun finished speaking, he asked coldly, "Where is Jiangdu?" ”

The Jiangdu is Yangzhou, south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River, between the Yangtze River. Han Yao suddenly realized the meaning behind Li Fengyun's words, and his expression immediately became solemn.

Li Fengyun expressed his position, and he opposed crossing the Huai to the south. Jiangdu is the place where the emperor started today, he has been careful for more than ten years, has a special feeling for it, after ascending the throne, he immediately expanded Jiangdu to build a large number of buildings, and repeatedly went south to Jiangdu to live for several months, Jiangdu's status in the middle of the earth has risen rapidly, the market jokingly calls it "Nanjing", and Xijing Daxing City is the capital of the Middle Earth.

Li Fengyun saw that Han Yao didn't speak, but sneered, "You should be very clear about the importance that the emperor attaches to Jiangdu today, and his close ministers have spared no effort to build Jiangdu in order to please the monarch, and now his status as a companion to the capital can no longer be regretted." As well as the capital of the city, its surrounding area is Gyeonggi. There are only thousands of miles between Jianghuai, and all of them are Gyeonggi. When the rebel army crosses the Huai River and enters the Jiangdu Zhenshu area, it will face a huge crisis, and its survival is not guaranteed, so how can it be said to grow stronger? ”

Han Yao's face was red, his eyes showed shame, and he was speechless for a while.

"Where does the general want to go?" Han Yao couldn't help but ask. Could it be that if you fight a battle in Qi County, you can find your way to heaven and earth?

Li Fengyun's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, he thought for a moment, spread out the map, and said, "Now we are in the Zhenshu area of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion in Pengcheng, if nothing else, Zuo Xiaowei Mansion has learned the news that the heavy soldiers have been robbed, and is urgently mobilizing Xu Yu Zhuyingyang to encircle and suppress us, and urgently inform Jiangdu, call the police to Jiangdu, and ask Jiangdu to block all the Jinkou of the Huai River along Huai Zhuyingyang under Jiangdu's jurisdiction to prevent us from crossing Huai to the south." Extrapolating from the point of view of time, even if we succeed in crossing the Huai urgently, we will immediately fall into the siege of the Jianghuai eagles, and the Jianghuai is a strange place for us, and we can't find anyone to help, on the contrary, there are enemies in all directions, and we will definitely die. ”

"According to the general, do we want to trap Xu Yu and sit still?" Han Yao questioned again, "Although there are fellow paths on both sides of the Tongji Canal, but at this critical moment of life and death, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow and many people who fall into the well, so the general must not blindly believe in the so-called brothers and friends." ”

Li Fengyun shook his hand at Han Yao, signaling him to be calm, and then pointed to the map and drew a circle in Qi County, "Xu Yu Zhuying is surrounded on three sides, and there is an enemy blocking in the direction of the Huai River, in fact, we have fallen into encirclement. Our top priority at present is to find a way to break out of the encirclement of the officials and troops, and to find a relatively safe place to survive. ”

"Relatively safe?" Han Yao couldn't hold it back, and said loudly with an excited expression, "Where is it safe?" According to the general, crossing the Huai to the south is a dead end, and going west to Yingru or Nanyang is also a dead end, because these places are close to the greater Gyeonggi region of Henan. What about going north? To the north is Nanjinggi, He, just looking for death. What about going east? To the east is Pengcheng, which is where the center of Zuo Xiaoweifu is located, all over Yingyang Mansion, or looking for death. May I ask the general, where are we going to be relatively safe? ”

Li Fengyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Han Yao's anger and demeanor. He stretched out a finger to the angry Han Yao, shook it twice to get Han Yao's attention, and then pressed it on the map where Qi County was located.

Han Yao didn't know why, and looked at it suspiciously.

Li Fengyun's fingers went northeast along Qi County on the map, stopped at Pengcheng, stopped for a while, and when Han Yao frowned, Li Fengyun continued to move his fingers, continued to go northeast, and then stopped at the edge of the map, where is the land of Qilu, bordering Pengcheng is Lu County and Langya County, and further east are Qi County, Beihai, Gaomi, and Donglai Counties. At the southwest end of the land of Qilu, that is, at the intersection of Pengcheng County, Lu County and Langya County, there is a big mountain, this mountain extends to the northeast, across the entire Langya County, and finally ends in Beihai, Gaomi territory, a radius of about 200 miles, its southwest is called Mengshan, and its northeast is called Yishan.

After Li Fengyun's fingers moved to the edge of the map, he stopped on the Mengshan Mountain Range.

Han Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been enlightened, he woke up and was smart! That's smart! Great place! What a place!

At this moment, Li Fengyun's weight in his mind suddenly increased a few points. Such a strange person must not be a thing in the pool, follow him, and maybe there will be a chance to turn into a dragon.

From the land of Xu Yu to the land of Qilu, and leaping thousands of miles into Mengshan, the righteous army can solve the existential crisis. Qilu is far away from the Central Plains, away from Gyeonggi, far away from the eastern capital, and the emperor and the central whip are beyond the reach, while Qilu has a long history, a broad culture, and the strong unity of its local forces is quite famous in all dynasties. The same is true of this dynasty, the Qilu people, as a part of the Shandong people of Middle-earth, because of their history, culture and other reasons, the contradictions between the Guanlong people and the Guanlong people are very fierce, and the conflict between the two sides has not stopped since the unification of China and Turkey.

Han Yao had learned the secret in Yingyang Mansion that as early as this year, after the flood of the river flooded on both sides of the river, flooding the counties on both sides of the river, and millions of people were affected by the disaster, some people in Qilu raised the flag to rebel. It's just that his rank is low and he can't find out the details, but if the rebellion of the Qilu people has not been suppressed by the local Yingyang Mansion, then the rebel army will be able to fight Qilu, not only can they find allies and support each other, but they can also use the chaos there to gain a firm foothold. In addition, the Qilu Plain is a rich place, and the neighboring counties of Henan and Xuzhou are also the land of fish and rice, which is very conducive to the development and growth of the righteous army.

Of course, the strategy of going south to Jianghuai is not as unbearable as Li Fengyun said. Compared with going south to Jianghuai, the real advantage of going east to Qilu is that Qilu belongs to the Shandong region.

The rebels started from Mangdang Mountain, and Mangdang Mountain also belongs to the Shandong region. When facing the common opponent Guan Longren, the Shandong people in the north and south of the river will take the initiative to put aside their contradictions and join hands to cooperate, which is caused by historical reasons. Since the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yellow River Valley has formed a situation of confrontation between the east and the west. The Shandong people in the east and the Guanlong people in the west fought each other for decades in order to reunify the Yellow River Valley, and the corpses on both sides of the river, under the Taihang Mountain, Heluo in the Central Plains, and Jingxiang were all over the field, and the resentment between the two sides was very deep. However, the final victors were not the Shandong people who regarded themselves as the Zhengshuo of Middle Earth, with a vast territory and strong national strength, but the Guanlong people who lived in the northwest territory, had weak national strength, culture, and military strength, and were despicable and barbaric.

The huge psychological gap between barbarism and civilization and the defeat of the weak over the strong, coupled with the attack, containment, and bullying of the Shandong people by the Guanlong ruling class after the victory, caused the hatred between the two sides not only not diminished, but became stronger, especially the conflict between the aristocratic classes. The contradiction between Guanlong, a new aristocratic group that mainly rose mainly with military merits, and Shandong, a traditional aristocratic group that has been passed down through the scriptures and some have even been passed down for more than a thousand years, has become more and more intense because of the inequality in the distribution of power and wealth.

In this context, the rebel army insisted on operating in the Shandong region, and it would surely be able to get the support of some Shandong nobles and Shandong commoners, and the support of the nobles and commoners was the basic condition for the growth of the rebel army. On the contrary, when they crossed the Huai River to the south and entered the Jianghuai region, the rebel army not only did not get the support of the Shandong people, but fell into the encirclement of the Jiang Zhun people.

The Jianghuai region has always been the main battlefield of the war between the north and the south of China and Turkey, so the local forces in this region are extremely complex, there are local forces, there are forces with the surname of the people who moved south, and the armed forces such as the clan and township regiments to which each force belongs are very strong, even after the unification of the sergeants, the new dynasty does not dare to forcibly ban these local armed forces such as the clan and township regiments, so as not to have a fierce conflict with the local forces in the Jianghuai region. Because of this historical reason, the Jianghuai aristocracy did not belong to the Shandong aristocratic group or the Jiangzuo aristocratic group, it was independent and powerful.

The rebel army's crossing of the Huai River to the south will inevitably infringe on the interests of the local forces in the Jianghuai region, and the consequences can be imagined. Han Yao knew about this situation, and he was also terrified in his heart, but he didn't see Qilu thousands of miles away, and he didn't see Langya Mengshan, so he had no choice. Now Li Fengyun showed him a clear path, making Han Yao seem to see the light in the dark, and a huge joy surrounded him in an instant, making him feel comfortable and excited. So-and-so finally found a way to live.
