After dark, the battle ended.

Duan Wencao led the army to break through the siege and fled, when he came, four regiments were violent, and nearly half of them were lost when they fled, like a lost dog.

There were many casualties among innocent civilians, and the terrain was so difficult that civilians could not flee the battlefield quickly, and the results were predictable. However, there were not many deaths among the officers and soldiers, only dozens of people, mainly because the mountain roads were too narrow, and both sides could not devote all their strength to fighting, but also because of this reason, the officers and soldiers retreated very difficult under the front and rear attacks of the rebels, and the wounded led as many as more than 200 people, as a result, they were unable to move, and all of them were taken prisoner.

According to the opinions of Xu Shisan, Yue Gao and several other righteous army leaders who participated in the war, they wanted to completely annihilate the official army at any cost, but Li Fengyun resolutely opposed it. Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted losses cannot be done at a loss, especially since the rebel army is still in the initial stage of growth, although it urgently needs victory to boost morale, but it must not be at the cost of hurting its own vitality.

In addition, there is a more important reason, that is, Lujun Taishou is Duan Wencao, and Duan Wencao's elder brother is Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty. In the context of the emperor and the central government exerting their national strength to carry out the Eastern Crusade, Duan Wencao, who was originally the general of the Weifu Hu Benlang, was placed in Lu County as a guard, obviously with the purpose of stabilizing the situation in the Qilu region. Since Duan Wencao's purpose in coming to Qilu was to stabilize the situation, if the righteous army annihilated all the officers and troops of Lu County in this battle, wouldn't it make Duan Wencao too guarded and too difficult to do? Duan Wencao did his best to suppress the thieves, his brother Duan Wenzhen would definitely help, once the center ordered to transfer troops from the Donglai Water Division or from Jianghuai to besiege the righteous army from all sides, with the current strength of the righteous army, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out? At present, the righteous army must be low-key, and must practice "internal strength", only by improving their own strength, can they draw their swords out of the sheath and expose their edge, otherwise they will seek their own death.

Late at night, Li Fengyun invited Lu Xingxing.

"The official army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, next, will Duan Wencao still hold on to Surabaya City?"

Lu Xingxing understood as soon as he heard it, Bai Shuai was very interested in the construction of a buffer zone of more than 100 miles with Surabaya City as the center, and now was the best time to realize this plan.

Today, Bai Shuai gave Duan Wencao a head-on blow, which stunned Duan Wencao and made him at a loss, not knowing what to do. Continue to suppress the thieves, the army in his hands is not enough, if he does not suppress the thieves, he will not be able to explain to the top and the bottom, so for a period of time in the future, Duan Wencao will inevitably rely on the existing strength in his hands and defend passively, at least he will not let the rebels capture Qufu again and threaten Fubianqiu. In this way, the rebels took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Surabaya City again, and establish a buffer zone in an area of more than 100 miles from Fangshan to Beiwei Mountain.

"After the defeat of the officers and troops, the morale is low, and the morale of the army is weak, if our army is chased and killed, we will be able to drive them out of Surabaya." Lu Xingxing said excitedly, "General, I am willing to lead a regiment to chase and kill and then capture Surabaya City." ”

Li Fengyun laughed, pointed at him and teased, "Do you regret burning Surabaya City now?" When you arrive in Surabaya City tomorrow, you won't even have a place to stay, and the soldiers will definitely scold you behind your back. ”

Lu Xingxing was embarrassed, touching his short beard and looking embarrassed.

"Civilians have suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and you are the one who has brought disaster to them." Li Fengyun continued, "How did you bring these people, and how do you bring them back, but they all hate you and hate you bitterly, which is very unfavorable for you to hold on to Surabaya City." Is there a way you can resolve this grudge? ”

Lu Xingxing vaguely guessed Li Fengyun's intentions, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he still looked bitter and hateful, listening respectfully, he knew that Li Fengyun would definitely tell him the answer.

After a pause, Li Fengyun continued to say, "There are pros and cons in everything, the pros and cons are complementary to each other, and they can be converted to each other, the key lies in your wisdom, as long as you have wisdom, you can even say black as white and white as black." You robbed Surabaya, but you didn't take people captive, and the reason why these civilians came to Bian Cheng was just to help you transport things. When you got to the ground, you let them go, and you kept your promise, and you didn't kill people with a knife. It is the officials and soldiers who kill people, and it is the Weifu Yingyang, which is obvious to all, so their enemies are not you, but the officials and soldiers. Li Fengyun said with a smile, "It's not a difficult thing to reverse black and white, and it's easy to buy people's hearts, the key is how to use your ingenuity." ”

Lu Xingxing chattered repeatedly, but he burst into a foul mouth in his heart, straight mother thief, I have never seen such shamelessness, I have never seen such shamelessness, and it is rare in the world to be able to achieve shamelessness in such a realm.

"Tell me, how are you going to buy people's hearts?" Li Fengyun asked.

"It's me who releases people, it's the officials and thieves who kill people, it's obvious to all, you can publicize it everywhere, but it's useless to sell your mouth, for the poor, what you want is benefits, you just give him silk, give him real benefits, he will say hello, he will give you his life." Lu Xingxing said bluntly, "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, everyone knows, but what can really be done is the poor, as for those bureaucrats and aristocrats who are full of benevolence and morality, all of them are male thieves and female prostitutes, although they have a bright appearance, but their stomachs are full of shit." ”

Li Fengyun laughed. Lu Xingxing is worthy of being a Jianghuai thief, who seems to be reckless and violent, but in fact his scheming is very deep. Since the conflict between the two in Mangdangshan to the present, Lu Xingxing has been low-key and forbearing, obeying Li Fengyun's words, only Li Fengyun is looking forward, and he is obedient and loyal, but his reputation in the righteous army has not fallen, but has risen. In the eyes of the Mang Dangshan brothers, this guy who was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy by Li Fengyun and lost all his face, completely surrendered to Li Fengyun, and the original grievances brought the relationship between the two closer, and the humiliation that Lu Xingxing received at the beginning has now become his capital to show off. In the eyes of the brothers who later joined the rebel army, Lu Xingxing is Li Fengyun's absolute cronies, since everyone follows Li Fengyun, then Lu Xingxing, as his cronies, will naturally be respected by everyone. Li Fengyun also values Lu Xingxing from this, it is important for a person to be able to bend and stretch flexibly, but if you want to achieve great things, you also need scheming, especially a forbearant character.

Lu Xingxing scolded bitterly, but in fact, he put forward conditions to Li Fengyun, I will stick to Surabaya and establish a buffer zone for Mengshan, you must always give me support, give me money, food and weapons, and give me a certain amount of autonomy, right?

"As you wish." Li Fengyun waved his hand and agreed.

Lu Xingxing's heart was full of joy. Just now he had guessed that Li Fengyun was going to put himself in Surabaya, in a sense, he was the first general of the Righteous Army to open a mansion outside the town, and as the commander of the town, his power can be imagined, which also proved that he had won Li Fengyun's trust.

"You go to the town of Surabaya, from tomorrow, you will be the military and political commander of Surabaya County, and the military and political affairs of Surabaya will be handled by you with full authority." Li Fengyun said, "Money, food, and weapons can support you partially, but the army can't give you too much." Of course, if you can afford to feed more troops, you can expand your army, and the more the merrier. ”

Lu Xingxing was overjoyed, chattered repeatedly, and then showed hesitation on his face, and stopped talking.

Li Fengyun seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile, "XX can only give you two regiments, even if you can't hold Surabaya City, XX won't blame you, after all, the difference in strength between us and the official army is too great." Although Duan Wencao had just suffered a defeat, this battle could not move his roots, nor could it hurt the vitality of the officials and soldiers. Surabaya is adjacent to Qufu and very close to the Lujun Mansion, and the threat you pose to Duan Wencao will surely make him restless at night, and he will soon make a comeback. Do your best, keep as long as you can, and if you can't hold on, withdraw it. ”

Lu Xingxing immediately expressed his determination, and then cautiously put forward his request, "General, can you ask Guo Ming to share the town of Surabaya with a certain person?" ”

Li Fengyun was slightly surprised, and then his eyes were happy, he didn't expect Lu Xingxing to have such a measure, not only can tolerate people, but also face up to his own shortcomings, so he does not hesitate to work with people with different personalities and different opinions, the purpose is to use the other party's strengths to make up for his shortcomings. This son is extraordinary, and he will succeed in the future.

Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you invite it yourself, or did you order it?" ”

Lu Xingxing understood. If you go and ask for it yourself, win Guo Ming's trust and understanding, it will be convenient to work together in the future, on the contrary, under Li Fengyun's order, the two will always have estrangement and contradictions, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.

"I-and-so personally invited."

Lu Xingxing was decisive, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Li Fengyun waved his hand at him and said with a smile, "If you can chase it overnight, you will definitely be able to beat the water dog." ”

"The dog jumps over the wall when he's in a hurry, let alone the human?"

Lu Xingxing laughed, gave a deep salute, and turned to leave.

Duan Wencao was chased behind him and beaten, the taste can be imagined, but there was no way, the defeat was like a mountain, he could only run like a lost dog, and fled to Qufu in one breath.

The fall of Surabaya City, Surabaya County was captured by thieves, it is not a big thing, it is a mountainous area, barren and desolate, sparsely populated, as long as Duan Wencao deploys the army on the front line of the mountain defense and blocks the thieves in Surabaya County, then he can win the stability of Qufu and the first line of the Bianqiu, so that it can be concealed from the upper and appeased from the lower.

Now that the thieves have not succeeded, they have been defeated by the thieves, and they have lost nearly three brigades of Eagle Yangwei, and this matter has become a big problem. Zhou Fa, who was in charge of the Right Waiting Guard Mansion first, would not let Duan Wencao go lightly, this battle was not fought by him, but he had to bear the responsibility of losing soldiers and generals, how could he be willing to give up? Secondly, the emperor and the central government had high hopes for it, but it went against people's wishes, and not only did Lu County and even Qilu region not only lose stability, but the situation became more and more chaotic.

When Duan Wencao arrived in Qufu, the first thing he did was to give an order, following the example of Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, to immediately recruit all the clans and township regiments in Lu County to form a local army, and strive to attack the Mengshan traitors in the shortest possible time. Then he hurriedly sent 100,000 of his cronies and subordinates to Pengcheng day and night to discuss the matter of cooperating with Cui Deben of Pengcheng County to suppress the thieves. In the end, he urgently wrote to the Eastern Capital and asked his brother Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, for help, he needed money and food, weapons, and the local armed forces of Lu County to be quickly strengthened, otherwise once the Mengshan traitors became the climate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Duan Wencao, who had suffered a heavy setback, went from one extreme to another, before he despised the traitors, but now he gritted his teeth and wanted to kill all the traitors.
