Considering that most of the heroes were determined to cross the river from the direction of Zhu'a, Sun Xuanya and Liu Heimin made a decisive compromise, and the two took the initiative to undertake the task of intercepting the back.

Liu Heimin immediately came up with a specific plan. In order to ensure that the heroes who were eager to cross the river could evacuate as quickly as possible and preserve their strength to the greatest extent, all the departments left the baggage that could not be taken away, as well as the craftsmen and men who accompanied the army, as well as the old and weak women and children who were mainly relatives, and were protected by Sun and Liu, and pretended to be the main army and went straight to Queshan, attracting and deceiving Zhang Xutuo at the same time, and winning more time for the main army to cross the river and evacuate.

The marshals unanimously agreed to Liu Heimin's plan, and the troops were divided into two routes, one was Liu Badao, Hao Xiaode and most other marshals took the elite main force to kill Zhu A, and crossed the river from the direction of Zhu A to return to Hebei, and the other way was intercepted by Sun Xuanya, Liu Heimin and a few other marshals.

Soon Liu Badao, Hao Xiaode and other heroes left the army with nearly 30,000 elite main forces, while Liu Heimin and Liu Shishan brothers took more than 5,000 elites under their command to set up a blocking battle formation ten miles east of Linyi City, and set fire to several woods.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin happened to lead the army to approach Linyi, and when they saw the thick smoke billowing in front of them and the faint sound of fighting in the wind, they immediately stopped, and while sending a large number of scouts to investigate, they urgently reported to Zhang Xutuo and asked him to speed up the march. The number of the selected vanguard troops was limited and exhausted, and they certainly did not dare to be greedy for merit when they did not know the enemy's situation.

At the same time that the Liu Heimin brothers intercepted the pursuing officers and troops with suspicious tactics, Sun Xuanya and Shi Jiwei took a large army of 780,000 people, holding the banners of all the heroes, and began to advance towards Queshan, which was dozens of miles away.

The official scouts soon showed the movements of the Hebei rebels, and immediately reported to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin. Qin and Luo were a little puzzled. Queshan is in the north of Licheng, although there is a Jishui River between it and Licheng, but the two are close at hand, Hebei thieves killed Queshan, in fact, it has threatened the safety of Licheng. According to common sense, Hebei thieves fled in a hurry, and they should go straight to the big river and find an opportunity to cross the river, or flee in the direction of Jibei, stay away from Qi County, and get rid of Zhang Xutuo's pursuit, instead of going the other way and killing Licheng, the capital of Qi County, isn't this a self-defeating way

Qin Qiong ordered the guards to open the map, spread it on the ground, and lean over to take a closer look.

"Brother, is this move of Hebei thieves a sound attack?" Luo Shixin frowned and said, "In such a critical situation, if the Hebei thieves have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and sacrifice the old and weak women and children to cover their main force to cross the river and break through, wouldn't we be in the middle of the plan?" ”

Qin Qiong didn't speak, her eyes were fixed on the south bank of the Jishui River on the map, thoughtful.

"Ming Gong said in the letter, yesterday early morning the white thief quietly arrived at the Zhangqiu battlefield, at that time the shape shì was very unfavorable to us, if the three-way anti-thief attacked, we will be hit hard, fortunately the news of the water division blocking the waterway of the river suddenly shocked the Hebei thieves, shook the military heart of the Hebei thieves, so that the battle situation suddenly turned upside down." Qin Qiong glanced at Luo Shixin and said coldly, "On the current battlefield of Qi County, the thieves in Hebei are not important, and the thieves in Changbai Mountain are also insignificant, it is the white thieves who really determine the direction of the battle, and it is the white thieves who really threaten the safety of Licheng." ”

"With the strength of the white thief, he can't take Licheng at all." Luo Shixin scoffed, very confident in the strong defense of Licheng.

"Licheng is not the target of the white thief, but a means to change the situation of the battle in Qi County." Qin Qiong raised the horsewhip in his hand and drew a circle on the map, and the circle was Licheng, "If nothing else, at this moment the white thieves are rushing towards Licheng, preparing to meet the Hebei thieves who retreated to Queshan on the line of Huabuzhu Mountain and Huangtai Mountain, and the thieves of Changbai Mountain saw that we were chasing and killing Hebei thieves on the south bank of Jishui, but there was no trace of Donglai Water Division, so they would inevitably kill back to the horse gun, attack Zhangqiu again, capture Linji, and then give strong support to Hebei thieves and white thieves on the north and south banks of Jishui at the same time." ”

Luo Shixin looked at the map, his expression gradually solemn.

If the battle situation is as Qin Qiong deduced, then whether the Hebei thieves are attacking the east and the west, whether the strong man is breaking his wrist, and whether his main force is going to cross the river to break through is really not important to Zhang Xutuo and the Qi army officials, because the Qi army is once again in a predicament. Now if the Qi army fights the enemy of Queshan, the white thieves and the thieves of Changbai Mountain will inevitably outflank and attack from the north and south; If the Qi army crosses the river and returns to Licheng, it will not only be blocked by the white thieves, but also by the Hebei thieves and the thieves of Changbai Mountain; If the Qi army turns around and fights Linji and Zhangqiu again, intending to defeat the thieves in Changbai Mountain first, then the thieves are in the middle of the tricks, and Licheng is worried about falling, because the thief army gathers under the city of Licheng, Yang Nan, the king of Qi, will have enough excuses to march into Licheng, and when Yang Nan, the king of Qi, arrives under the city of Licheng, who else can stop him from entering Licheng?

The white thief is insidious and cunning, this trick is too powerful, not only "helped" the king of Qi Yang Lan, but also hit Zhang Xutuo's vital point, and also let the two main forces of the official army of the thief fall into the danger of internal strife, once Zhang Xutuo and the king of Qi fight, cannibalism, the situation in Qi County will inevitably get out of control, and the thief fisherman profits, laughing to the end.

"It can be asserted that this white thief must be the person of King Qi." Luo Shixin said angrily, "With the strength of the King of Qi, killing a white thief is not only repeatedly unfair, but the thief's power is getting bigger and bigger, how can it be reasonable?" Everyone in the world is blind? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Qiong shouted sharply, "In your words, the thieves in Changbai Mountain have repeatedly suppressed injustice, and the thieves in Beihai and Jibei have swarmed, aren't they all the culpability of Ming Gong?" Could it be that Ming Gong and the thief are also suspected of communicating with each other? ”

Luo Shixin's face was red and embarrassed, but he couldn't find a rebuttal and opened his mouth.

"What now?" Luo Shixin asked, "Do you send scouts to follow the enemy's traces along the Luoshui line?" If the Hebei thieves want to cross the river as quickly as possible, they must choose Zhu Ajinkou, and we will find something along the Luoshui tracking. ”

Qin Qiong thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Can the merit of suppressing thieves offset the crime of losing Licheng?" ”

The answer is self-explanatory. Luo Shixin was very depressed, and couldn't help but question, "Why did Brother assert that King Qi must take Licheng?" The king of Qi came to Qi County to suppress thieves and rebel, not to be the king of Qilu. ”

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and asked, "What is Duke Ming in the eyes of King Qi?" What is Ming Gong in the eyes of the Holy Lord? How much does Ming Gong have in the Eastern Capital? ”

Luo Shixin was speechless.

Zhang Xutuo is the boss of officialdom in Qi County, but in the eyes of Yang Nan, the king of Qi, Zhang Xutuo is an ant-like storage zài, and in the eyes of the holy lord and the political bosses of the Eastern Capital, Zhang Xutuo is even more unbearable, so Yang Nan, the king of Qi, wants to take Licheng and control the Qilu region, which is not something that Zhang Xutuo can stop at all. This is true, but the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital "turn a blind eye", why? To put it bluntly, once the King of Qi took control of the Qilu region, the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital were damaged in face and their authority was challenged, but they were forced to punish the King of Qi for various reasons, so they had to sacrifice Zhang Xutuo. Zhang Xutuo didn't want to "be caught with his hands tied" and wanted to save himself, so he tried every means to drag Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang into the water, but these two are important ministers at the level of bigwigs in the Eastern Capital, and the wisdom of the government can be imagined, how could he fall for Zhang Xutuo's treacherous scheme? As a result, Zhou Fashang came, and the sailor also dispatched, and also gave Zhang Xutuo support, and also changed the situation of the battle in Qi County, he did everything he should do, but he definitely didn't do what he shouldn't do, he just didn't board 6, didn't go ashore, and resolutely didn't shed the muddy water of Qi County.

With Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin's current position, they can see the political struggle behind the battlefield in Qi County, can see Zhang Xutuo's current predicament, and can think about Zhang Xutuo's personal interests, which is already commendable.

"Order, line up on the spot, and be on guard." Qin Qiong waved his horsewhip and gave a resolute order, "Urge Ming Gong again, ask him to hurry up and come to Linyi." ”

Soon Zhang Xutuo flew in, and after listening to Qin Qiong's analysis and deduction of the battle situation, he had to make a choice, was he trying his best to suppress the thief? Or do you want to protect the city? If you ignore it and do your best to suppress the thief, although you are dedicated to the public and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, the end is estimated to be very miserable; On the contrary, if he tried to protect Licheng and did not hesitate to stop the Qi King Yang Lan from controlling the Qilu region, although he formed a head-on conflict with the King of Qi, he won the Ken of the Holy Lord and the center, so that it was still possible to protect his own interests.

"Can you send scouts in the direction of Zhu'a?" Zhang Xutuo's expression was grim, and his low tone revealed a deep exhaustion.

Qin Qiong shook his head, "The sailor has blocked the waterway of the great river, and with the strength of the warship, it is enough to kill the thieves who cross the river without leaving a single piece of armor." The implication is that since the sailor is unwilling to climb the 6th to fight, then the Qi army does not need to put a hot face on the cold ass of others, and has to kill to the bank of the big river and rob the credit of the sailor.

Zhang Xutuo's eyes showed praise and kindness, knowing that Qin Qiong had guessed his mind and thought about himself, he was very relieved.

"Zhu A is within the control of the water division, no matter whether the Hebei thieves break through from Zhu A or not, they are not too close to us." Qin Qiong continued, "Now the Hebei thief went straight to Queshan, and his intention to rendezvous with the white thief is very clear. Once the two anti-thieves meet, Licheng is in danger, so a certain believes that the top priority is not to suppress the thieves, but to ensure the safety of Licheng. If Licheng misses, Ming Gong will be restrained everywhere, and the future will be difficult and frightening

"Good" Zhang Xutuo sighed, "According to your plan, send orders to all armies to kill Queshan and rush to cross the water, and be sure to prevent the two anti-thieves from meeting in order to win the opportunity to break through." ”

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin bowed down and promised.

On the afternoon of the 15th, Sun Xuanya and Shi Jiwei led the army to arrive at Queshan, and while occupying favorable terrain to set up a defensive position, they sent elite men and horses to occupy the Jinkou of Queshan.

At dusk, the brothers Liu Heimin and Liu Shishan arrived at Queshan. Liu Heimin immediately commanded the post to reinforce the Queshan blocking battle formation, and sent Liu Shishanhuo to Jinkou to increase the strength of the Jinkou garrison.

After dark, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin led the army to force into Queshan, and soon Zhang Xutuo led the main army to arrive, but the scouts sent bad news, the Hebei thieves occupied the Queshan Jinkou, and the white thief's army was on the opposite bank, relying on the favorable terrain of Huangtai Mountain and Huabuzhu Mountain, coupled with the natural danger of Jishui, a solid defense line has been successfully constructed.
