The Alliance Command gave the order to attack Qi County.

In this attack, the soldiers were divided into two routes, the left side was the main attack, and Zhang Xutuo was confronted head-on; The right flank is a feint attack, containing a part of Zhang Xutuo's troops, so as to combine the main attack on the battlefield.

Li Fengyun was the commander of the Left Route Army, leading the three armies of the Inner Prefecture, the first to the fifth armies of the outer prefecture, the eleventh and twelfth armies of Han Jinluo, and the seventeenth army of Shan Xiongxin, undertaking the main attack task, first entering Jibei County to fight, and then attacking and advancing along Jishui to Qi County.

Meng Haigong was the commander of the Right Route Army, leading the 6th and 7th armies of the headquarters, the 9th and 10th armies of Shuai Rentai, and the 13th army of Xu Shiren, to undertake the task of feints, take the road to Mount Tai, and go straight to Licheng, the capital of Qi County.

Chen Rui stayed in Mengshan, and Han Yao commanded the 8th, 14th, and 15th armies to stay on the front line of Hehe and Si to block the Xuzhou official army.

Zhai Rang led the 16th Army to stay on the front line of Ji and He, blocking the Henan official army.

The alliance command demanded that all armies should be immediately mobilized from the day they received the order, and the armies on the left were assembled at Yushan in Jibei, and the armies on the right were assembled at Daishan in Lujun, and on the 18th day of the first month, they attacked and advanced to Qi County at the same time.

Li Fengyun secretly sent messengers all the way to Douzigang, Hebei Province to inform Wang Bo, and asked him to choose an opportunity to go south to Qi County; rushed all the way to Changbai Mountain in Qi County to inform Meng Rang, Zuo Junheng and other heroes, and asked them to unite with the righteous army of the northeast of Lu to attack Zhang Xutuo in the alliance army; Rushed all the way to Pengcheng to tell Wei Fuhei, and asked him to urge the king of Qi to lead his army into Qilu, garrison Mount Tai, and put heavy pressure on Zhang Xutuo.

The alliance army gathered in Yushan and shocked Jibei again.

A few years ago, Li Fengyun suddenly invaded Jibei and caught the people of Jibei off guard. At that time, the Jibei official thought that Li Fengyun had gone to Xuzhou in the south, considering that the Xuzhou Zhuying Yang was strong, and the king of Qi Yang Lan followed the pursuit and left, Li Fengyun was more auspicious and less auspicious, but he expected that in a blink of an eye, Li Fengyun actually "fell from the sky" to the bank of the big river, and the Jibei County Government was not well prepared, and in the face of the tide of the righteous army, Fulu City was simply unable to resist, and the nobles and bureaucrats in the city immediately abandoned the city and fled to Qi County for help.

Zhang Xutuo was very surprised when he heard the news, and urgently adjusted his deployment, and transferred Jia Wuben and Qin Qiong, who were suppressing thieves in various parts of northeast Lu, back, planning to stick to Licheng first, see how the battle situation unfolded, and then decide whether to ask for help from the Donglai Naval Division. At that time, he was most worried about the Hebei thieves going south, the river was frozen, and if the Hebei Douzigang thieves army went south to fight, they could kill Licheng in one go, plus the thieves in Ludong, as well as Li Fengyun who killed from the direction of Jibei, then Licheng was in danger of being attacked by thieves from three sides. Licheng is in danger, Qi County is in turmoil, and the situation in Qilu is deteriorating, affecting the Second Eastern Crusade, so Zhang Xutuo will not escape the blame, so Zhang Xutuo is ready to fight and dare not slack off.

Fortunately, Li Fengyun did not attack Qi County, and did not even sweep Jibei County, but crossed the river to Hebei, which made Zhang Xutuo puzzled, and he was more vigilant in his heart, and he did not dare to send troops to help Jibei lightly. At this time, bad news came from Xuzhou, Xuzhou Zhuying Yang was defeated, Wu Benlang Liang Dezhong was wiped out by Li Fengyun, and what especially surprised Zhang Xutuo was that Yang Nan, the king of Qi, took advantage of the situation and took control of Xuzhou without much effort, which will inevitably affect the political situation in the Eastern Capital, but how the political situation in the Eastern Capital changes is not important to Zhang Xutuo, the important thing is that the defeat of Liang Dezhong in Xuzhou is too unbelievable, and it cannot help but make people speculate on the secrets hidden behind this battle with malice, and then think of the treacherous Tongji Canal crisis this summer. Conspiracy theories naturally became the focus of Zhang Xutuo's deduction. If the goal of the King of Qi is to outreach, if Li Fengyun has become a sharp knife in the hands of some people, if Liang Dezhong is defeated by a conspiracy, and defeating him is so that some people can seize control of Xuzhou, then it is obvious that Qilu is also the target of some people, and defeating Zhang Xutuo has become a logical thing.

Zhang Xutuo then strengthened his determination to hold on to Qi County, taking advantage of the winter slack to recruit a large number of young and strong to expand the army, coupled with the capture of the thieves, the number of Qi troops quickly increased to more than 20,000 people, and established a horse army composed of 200 horsemen, and then intense training to prepare for the next big war. Zhang Xutuo firmly believed that because some people coveted Qilu's control power, Qi County would definitely usher in a difficult battle.

Zhang Xutuo's prediction was very accurate, only a month later, Jibei again bad news, Li Fengyun entered Jibei County for the second time, but this time he did not cross the river to the north, but commanded tens of thousands of troops to rush east along Jishui, getting closer and closer to Qi County.

The atmosphere in Qi County suddenly became tense. Zhang Xutuo urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Sima Yang Qian of Yingyang Mansion in Licheng analyzed the current situation in detail.

Yang Qian had returned to Qi County in the late autumn, and his father, Yang Gongren, and Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang, both advised him to stay in the capital. The situation in Qilu has become worse since the news of the defeat of the Eastern Expedition spread, and it is rapidly spreading to the surrounding areas, Henan and Xuzhou are not good, especially Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is doing his best to seize the control of these three places, Qilu has become a land of right and wrong, Zhang Xutuo's situation will become more and more difficult, and continuing to stay in Qi County will be harmful to Yang Qian's exhibition. But Yang Qian is very persistent, he firmly believes that Zhang Xutuo has the ability to stabilize Qilu, and thinks that he still has a lot to do in Qilu.

Yang Qian's deduction of the future battle situation of Qi County is completely consistent with Zhang Xutuo. "The purpose of the white thieves' attack on Qi County is to connect Lu County, Jibei County and Qi County as a whole, and use Qilu as a territory to expand and grow. Since his ultimate goal is to grow stronger, of course he can't do his best to fight us to the death. After killing 1,000 enemies, losing 800 of themselves, and losing both, what did the white thief do to stabilize his results? If he couldn't get the results of the battle, he made a wedding dress for others, and with the cunning of a white thief, how could he do such a stupid thing of losing his wife and breaking his army? Besides, there are many anti-thieves in Qilu, how can these anti-thieves tolerate the white thieves monopolizing Qilu? Therefore, it is certain that the white thieves attacked Qi County this time, and they must share Qilu with all the anti-thieves as a condition, and unite with various anti-thieves such as Meng Rang, Zuo Junxing, and Zuo Junheng in Changbai Mountain, Guo Fangpre and Qin Junhong in Beihai, Pei Changzi and Shizihe in Jibei, and other anti-thieves to attack Qi County together. As a result, we have to fight against the thieves on multiple battlefields, which is very disadvantageous to us. ”

When Yang Qian said this, he stopped, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, Zhang Yuanbei, Jia Yanfu, Wu Heimin and others, and then returned to the map, raised his hand and pointed to Douzigang in the north of the Great River.

"After the anti-thief king Bo fled to Douzigang, the thieves of Qilu lost their banner, a plate of scattered sand, Meng Rang and other thieves not only fought for themselves, but even attacked each other, so the thieves of Qilu are looking forward to the return of Wang Bo in order to form an alliance and grow stronger, and Wang Bo Risi's dream is of course to return to Qilu, so as to make a comeback and make a comeback

"Since the Great River was frozen, Ming Gong has placed heavy troops on the front line of the Great River to prevent Wang Bo from taking the opportunity to go south. According to the secret report we got, Wang Bo was indeed ready to go south, but he was weak and needed the support of Hebei anti-thieves to go south, and the Hebei anti-thieves happened to be beaten by Duan Da, the general of Zuo Yiwei, and he was too busy to take care of this matter for a while, so the time was delayed. ”

"Spring has arrived, the big river is being unsealed, and the difficulty of Wang Bo crossing the river to the south has greatly increased, but does this mean that Wang Bo has given up attacking Qi County in the south?"

Yang Qian turned to look at everyone and said solemnly, "According to the latest news that a certain person has gotten, it is Cui Hongsheng, the Duke of Huangtai, who replaced Zuo Yiwei's general Duan to fight the chaos in Hebei. Cui Hongsheng made a comeback and went to Hebei to fight the turmoil, so how the situation in Hebei has changed, you should know it. If the situation in Hebei is to be stabilized, it is necessary to kill the rebels, but the people of Hebei will not kill each other, so the best way for the Hebei rebels to avoid is to cross the river to the south, and in the name of helping Wang Bo return to Qilu, they will enter Qi County, so as to bring trouble to the east and divert the attention of the eastern capital to the Qilu battlefield. ”

Yang Qian turned around again and pointed to Mount Tai on the map, "There are white thieves to the west of Mount Tai, and there are Meng Rang and Guo Fangqian thieves to the east of Mount Tai. Then he raised his hand and moved up, focusing on the big river, "There is Wang Bo north of the big river, and there are thieves in Hebei. Obviously, this is a three-way pinch to attack my Qi County. Of course, the facts may differ from our assumptions, but in the absence of evidence that our assumptions are incorrect, we must base our assumptions on our countermeasures. ”

Qin Qiong's expression was grim, and he questioned without hesitation, "Do we have enough evidence to prove that this speculation is true and credible?" Traitors in three places, three-way attack, such a huge layout, first of all, a figure with enough prestige in the three anti-thieves to mediate, in order to persuade all the anti-thieves, and secondly, unified planning and command are needed, otherwise there is no possibility of implementation. ”

Yang Qian was silent, he had no evidence to prove that his speculation was correct, but he was sure that Hebei anti-thieves were going south to Qilu, which was the reason for the political situation, and it was the political need of the wealthy family that controlled the situation in Hebei. In addition, the white thief's sudden attack on Qi County, on the one hand, has a lot to do with the King of Qi's eagerness to control Qilu, and on the other hand, it is also related to the change in the situation in Hebei

Zhang Xutuo spoke, "What countermeasures does Sima Yang have?" ”

"Hold on and wait for help." Yang Qian said, "There are too many anti-thieves, if you meet the enemy on all sides, you will take care of one and lose the other, take a step back and say, even if we have the ability to break through, but the risk is too great, the loss is too great, once we fall into passivity, it is unimaginable, so we can't fight alone in this battle, we must ask the Donglai Navy Division for help, and we must ask Qiao Gong (Zhou Fashang) to give the greatest support." ”

Sailor for support? Zhang Xutuo, Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong and others looked at each other, feeling that this was simply impossible. The sailor was defeated in Pyongyang and suffered heavy losses, but for the second eastward crusade, Laihu'er went to Jiangdu to recruit Jianghuai's children, Zhou Fashang went to Wuyue to dispatch Jiangnan sailors, and now the temporary leader of the sailor is Li Zixiong and Cui Junsu, and one of these two is a supporter of the king of Qi, and has a deep grudge with the holy lord, and the other is a native of Hebei, and Zhang Xutuo is not on the right path, how can he support Qi County? Support Zhang Xutuo?

Zhang Xutuo sighed secretly, and after a little hesitation, he turned his eyes to look at Qin Qiong, "Where will Qin Bing Cao plan come out?" ”

"The anti-thieves are attacking on a large scale, and it is not appropriate to compete with the enemy for the gains and losses of one city and one place, but should gather superior forces and break through each of them, with the only goal of killing the enemy's living forces." Qin Qiong waved his hand, murderous, "Just wait for the enemy to be severely injured all the way, then the rest will tremble and flee in all directions." ”
