Duan Wencao flew to Qufu, and all he saw was a mess left behind by the thieves after burning and killing and plundering, and in his ears were the angry condemnations of the Confucian family's disciples, celebrities, Confucian scholars, and scholars. Duan Wencao was furious and ordered the tail to pursue and kill Surabaya.

The four regiments of eagles crossed the defense mountain and recovered the city of Surabaya, but the city was burned by thieves, and all the officials, people and property in the city were taken captive, leaving Duan Wencao with nothing but ruins. Duan Wencao was furious, completely enraged by the atrocities of the thieves, and ordered to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Bian Cheng.

Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming led a mighty team to the city of Bian Cheng, and then the two entered the city to meet Li Fengyun. Lu Xingxing was triumphant, Guo Ming was gloomy, and the relationship between the two looked very tense.

"Burned Surabaya City?" After listening to Lu Xingxing's report, Li Fengyun couldn't help frowning, and his expression was quite solemn.

"General, I told him not to burn it, but he didn't listen, he said that when the general was in Qianjun, he burned Xia Ting, burned Yongcheng, and burned White Horse City before, and the result was famous." Guo Ming complained angrily, "What he means is that if he burns Surabaya City, he will be able to shock Qilu like a general." ”

Guo Ming sneered, pursed his lips disdainfully, and ignored Lu Xingxing's round eyes that almost ate people, "The general has repeatedly warned us that we must not sacrifice the interests of the common people unless we have to do so, but now we have burned Surabaya City without necessity and just because of a certain person, leaving hundreds of ordinary people displaced and homeless, and such atrocities will be punished by God." ”

"Noise!" Lu Xingxing shouted viciously at Guo Ming, "Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, do you think you are a Confucian saint?" You are a traitor, and even if you don't kill anyone, no one will respect you as a saint and worship you as a bodhisattva. In my opinion, Surabaya City not only had to be burned, but also had to be fortified and cleared in an area of more than 100 miles between Fangshan and Beiwei Mountain, turning the entire Surabaya County into ruins, so that the officials and soldiers had to give up, so that we won a buffer zone of more than 100 miles. With this buffer zone, it will not only help us to hold on to Mengshan, but also help us continue to threaten Lu County, so that the Lu County government is like a man, and it will be impossible to sleep all night. ”

Guo Ming sneered and sneered at each other, "The government is like a man's back, and the army of slaughter is also coming from all sides, will Captain Lu turn into a three-headed and six-armed heavenly soldier to protect us vulnerable grass mustard ants?" ”

Lu Xingxing was furious and was about to open his mouth to roar, but was stopped by Li Fengyun reaching out.

"How many officers and soldiers are behind you?" Li Fengyun asked, "Have the scouts ever found out?" ”

Lu Xingxing opened his mouth and looked embarrassed. He only cared about burning Surabaya City and plundering the army, and he didn't care about the officials and soldiers who killed him, and besides, such trivial things were naturally done by Guo Ming, a timid and fearful water ghost.

"It's clear, there are four groups of eagles guarding." Guo Mingyu reported, "These four regiments of Eagle Yangwei all crossed the Surabaya River, obviously from Juping and Liangfu to the south, but there was no Eagle Yangwei in the direction of the Qiuqiu." Speaking of this, Guo Ming's eyes showed a puzzled look, "The general once said that the two counties of Qilu are both Shang counties, each with four Yingyang Mansions, even if the Eastern Expedition needs to transfer a part, then at least half of the troops should be left, but the strange thing is that we have plundered in Qufu, but the Lujun Mansion has always stood still and refused to rescue, could it be that all the Yingyang of Lu County are besieging and killing the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army on the front line of Juping and Liang's father?" If the main forces of Zhuyingyang in Lujun are on both sides of Wenshui, then after the emergency in Qufu and Bianqiu, there should not be only four regiments of troops going south to help. ”

"You're as timid as a mouse, that's why you think so complicated." Lu Xingxing sneered disdainfully, "It's very simple, the troops of Qilu Zhuyingyang have all been transferred to the Eastern Capital and gone to the Eastern Expedition to fight the barbarians." ”

"What do you know? On what basis? Guo Ming asked.

"The general said, Wang Bo and Meng Rang of Qi County have been raising the flag according to Changbai Mountain, and it has been several months, if the main forces of Zhu Yingyang of Qi County are there, Wang Bo and Meng Rang can hold on until now? Also, the general also said that Zhang Xutuo is a county official of Qi County and a civil official, but he has requisitioned a large number of clan and township regiments to kill the Changbai Mountain Rebels, which can prove that the army of Zhu Yingyang of Qi County is definitely not in Qi County, otherwise where would it be the turn of a civilian official to take a group of township regiments to suppress thieves? By extension, it is not difficult to guess that the Eagle Yang army of Lu County has also been requisitioned, and the four regiments of Eagle Yang Guards currently chasing behind us are estimated to be all the current garrison forces of Lu County. ”

"Then I ask you, why didn't Xuzhou Zhuyingyang be requisitioned and left by the Eastern Capital? Xuzhou borders Qilu, since the eastern capital transferred troops from Qilu, why not transfer troops from Xuzhou? Guo Ming immediately asked rhetorically.

Lu Xingxing was speechless for a while, although he was annoyed and ashamed, but it was inconvenient to do it, after all, Guo Ming's question was reasonable.

Guo Ming saw that Lu Xingxing was deflated, and he couldn't help but show a sinister smile on his face, very happy, straight lady thief, let you run rampant.

"Captain Lu's inference is quite reasonable." At this time, Li Fengyun spoke unhurriedly, clearly supporting Lu Xingxing's analysis.

Lu Xingxing froze for a moment, and then smiled angrily, happy, Bai Shuai supported himself in person, isn't he dissatisfied with the water ghost?

"For the handsome, you need to be so cautious as Captain Guo." Li Fengyun quietly praised Guo Ming again, "During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi met opponents, and the reason why Sima Yi was able to resist Zhuge Liang's attack was because of his caution. Sima was only cautious in his life, and it was precisely because of his prudence that he achieved the great cause of Sima's domination of the world. ”

Guo Ming knew that Li Fengyun was deliberately appeasing him, and while he was comfortable, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself, how could Bai Shuai ever be cautious? Since walking down Mangdang Mountain, every battle is to die and then live, which can be described as frightening step by step, and many generals of the righteous army are deeply influenced by Li Fengyun in the process of growing up, such as Lu Xingxing is a typical example, fighting only for the goal, in order to achieve the goal and do everything.

"Captain Lu burned Surabaya City, it was indeed a mistake, this is a move of anger and resentment, and it will inevitably lose people's hearts. Captain Guo's concern is very reasonable. Li Fengyun stopped here, looked at the two of them, and said, "We came to Qilu and Mengshan to survive, to grow stronger, unlike in Qiaojun and Tongji Canal, we have the idea of 'getting a vote' and leaving, and in the encirclement and interception of the official army, the danger is everywhere, and in the last resort, there is only burning, killing and plundering, so ......" Li Fengyun pointed to Lu Xingxing and said, "Only this once, not an example." ”

Lu Xingxing chattered repeatedly, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"Surabaya City has been burned, and the bad impact caused is irreparable, but everything has disadvantages and advantages, perhaps, Captain Lu's atrocities can give us a chance to kill the enemy, and even help us capture the entire territory of Surabaya again, and achieve Captain Lu's goal of establishing a 100-mile buffer zone."

As soon as Li Fengyun finished saying this, Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming Huoran raised their heads, and they all showed puzzled expressions, burning Surabaya City, there are still benefits, and they can still inflict heavy losses on the enemy?

"You don't burn Surabaya City, don't hijack the officials and people of Surabaya and leave, and retreat calmly, it seems that you have the confidence and strength, and you will make a comeback and plunder again, and you burn down Surabaya City, and sweep away the officials and people in the city along with all their property, which shows that you are afraid, afraid, and have no strength. For experienced military commanders, you little thieves are vulnerable and don't worry, they will chase and kill them all the way to Mengshan. ”

Li Fengyun's explanation seems to be very reasonable, but in the ears of Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, there is some mist in the clouds, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the "three lights" atrocities of the righteous army that killed and burned all the people who robbed them all angered the officials and soldiers, and the Weifu Yingyang wanted to take revenge, and the Lu County government wanted to give an explanation to the eastern capital, and more importantly, the officials and soldiers must control the entire territory of Surabaya, so as to surround the righteous army in Mengshan and ensure the safety of the hinterland of Lu County, so the officials and soldiers will definitely chase and kill.

"Since the official army must kill Bian Cheng and attack Bian Cheng, then instead of passive defense, we should take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Bian Cheng, one mountain and two rivers, set a trap first, and catch the official army by surprise."

Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming looked at each other speechlessly, saying that Li Fengyun still disliked their limited results, and wanted to take action in person, and wanted to attack the officials and soldiers under Bian Cheng City, but it was not good to wipe their face and slap their faces, so they talked eloquently, and finally said the truth, you can't do it, or I will come in person.

"General, what's the plan?" Lu Xingxing was eager to try it and asked eagerly.

"You have been on the march for many days, and you are tired, and it is not fit for you to fight again." Li Fengyun shook his hand and said, "The soldiers have captured a lot of money, and they have worked hard, so they should go into the mountains to rest, if they fight again, they will inevitably feel resentment and resentment, which is not conducive to the war." ”

Lu Xingxing wanted to ask for his life again, but Li Fengyun was resolute and waved his hand vigorously, "Before entering the mountain, you still have to help do something." ”

"Please show me the general."

"All your goods, such as grain, silk, and silk, shall be brought to the depart, but not a single one of your captives shall be wanted." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "You robbed other people's things, and forced them to transport these things to Bian Cheng, next, do you want to keep them for a long time?" ”

Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming understood and bowed down to receive their orders.

"There are a lot of young people in it, do you want to let them go too?" Lu Xingxing was a little unwilling, after all, the ranks of the rebels were going to grow, and the government would continue to recruit troops, and soon there would be fewer and fewer young people, and they would not be able to grab it when they wanted to.

"Only by knowing how to make trade-offs can we achieve great things." Li Fengyun shook his hand indifferently, "Let them all go, and leave no one behind." ”
