Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi arrived in Bian Cheng, met with Li Fengyun, and sent a gift on behalf of Wang Bo and Meng Rang, which was exactly the Qilu military topographic map that Li Fengyun needed, which made Li Fengyun very happy and thanked him repeatedly. But when he listened to Meng Rang's message relayed by Du and Fu, he couldn't be happy.

Zhang Xutuo went south to Juping and made a posture of letting the Changbai Mountain rebels kill back to Qi County, making it clear that he had dug a trap, and it was two traps, both on the north and south lines. Wang Bo and Meng Rang had no choice but to come up with a two-way countermeasure, one was led by Wang Bo to lead the main force back to Qi County from the direction of Bocheng, and the other was led by Meng Rang to kill Juping and Liang's father, and did their best to prevent Zhang Xutuo's troops from going north to Bocheng to besiege Wang Bo, in order to sacrifice himself to help the main force of Changbai Mountain break through. However, Meng Rang is not completely lifeless, he also has the possibility of breaking through, if the Xuzhou Righteous Army can go north in time to respond, his breakthrough will be even greater.

Li Fengyun was actually reluctant for the Changbai Mountain rebels to enter Mengshan. The Xuzhou Righteous Army has just arrived and has not yet gained a foothold, and the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army occupies the convenience of the Qi people, and their arrival is very likely to "dominate the guests", so that the situation in Mengshan has become very complicated, and then affects the development and growth of the Xuzhou Righteous Army. But the shape of Lu County is changing rapidly, the Xuzhou Righteous Army won a short respite after defeating the Lu County official army, and currently does have the spare strength to go north to meet Meng Rang, and on the other hand, the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army is also divided into two ways, Meng Rang is a partial division, the number is limited, the strength is limited, even if it still occupies the convenience of the Qi people in Mengshan, it cannot shake the absolute position of the Xuzhou Righteous Army, so that the Xuzhou Righteous Army can use the Qi identity of Meng Rang and his army, and stabilize Mengshan more quickly, and grow faster.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Li Fengyun immediately decided to go north to respond.

Li Fengyun was anxious to write to Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, because the battle situation on the front line of Wenshui had changed again, he decided to lead the army to cross the river to the north to Juping and Liangfu's line, and at the same time to meet Meng Rang and his subordinates to break through to the south, and Meng Rang formed a flanking attack on the officers and troops of Juping and Liangfu's line, so as to give Wang Bo and his subordinates a better opportunity to break through from the direction of Bocheng and help the main force of the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army to return to Qi County. For this reason, he ordered Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming to immediately cross the key pass of Fangshan, attack Qufu again, threaten Bianqiu again, and take advantage of the low morale of Duan Wencao and the Lu County official army after the disastrous defeat, wantonly plunder, forcing Duan Wencao to ask for help from Zhang Xutuo, who moved to Juping, so as to delay or delay the time for Zhang Xutuo to lead his troops north to Bocheng to pursue and kill the main force of the Changbai Mountain Righteous Army. In order to ensure that the purpose of this attack could be realized, Li Fengyun decided to immediately transfer three regiments to Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, and with five regiments of more than 1,000 troops, they stormed the line of Qufu and Bianqiu.

Li Fengyun hurriedly wrote to the general's mansion again, explained his decision in detail to Han Yao, the chief historian, and asked him to immediately transfer a regiment of troops to suppress Bian City, and asked him to pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Linyi and Philadelphia, the capital of Langya County, and once the Langya Yingyang Mansion was dispatched, he would do his best to defend the defense line of Nanwu City.

Li Fengyun ordered Sima Chen Rui to sit in Bian Cheng, and he led three regiments of troops to cross Surabaya overnight, enter Liangfu County, and rush in the direction of Liangfu City.

Meng Rang led his troops to the south of the Wenshui River and killed Yangguan.

Yangguan is located between Tingting Mountain and Lailai Mountain, the east bank of Wenshui River, 20 miles away from its southwest is Juping City, and 25 miles away from its southeast is Liangfu City. That is to say, as long as Meng Rang broke through the Yangguan Pass and went to the southwest, he could directly kill the Great Plain of Lujun, and if he went to the southeast, he could advance to Mengshan.

Zhang Xutuo garrisoned Yangguan with heavy troops, and the two cities of Juping and Liangfu responded on both flanks to ensure that the Changbai Mountain rebels were held back north of Yangguan.

Meng Rang's subordinates pretended to be the main force, and from the day of arrival, Xiangyangguan launched a fierce attack.

Zhang Xutuo sat in Yangguan and commanded the two township regiments of Linyi and Linji to hold the pass.

Qi County has ten counties under its jurisdiction, and the clan regiments and township regiments in each county are integrated into a large township regiment, with 800 to 1,000 people in each township regiment, with one regiment leader and four to five people in Zuoshi, all of whom are directly under Zhang Xutuo's orders. This time he went south to Juping, Zhang Xutuo took four township regiments, and the remaining six township regiments were led by Jia Wuben, the county lieutenant, and the four regiments of Eagle Yangwei led by Yang Qian, all of which were secretly hidden at the foot of Mount Tai, preparing to ambush the thief army that broke through from the direction of Bocheng. However, because the Xuzhou thieves suddenly occupied Mengshan and plundered Lu County, the situation in Lu County changed drastically, and the thieves of Changbai Mountain were very likely to go south and join the Xuzhou thieves in Mengshan, which also made Zhang Xutuo's originally confident plan to destroy the enemy uncertain.

At this moment, Zhang Xutuo received an urgent letter from Lu Jun's Taishou Duan Wencao.

The eagles of Lujun were frustrated in Bian Cheng, accidentally ambushed, and returned with heavy losses. Today, the thieves in Xuzhou have been chased and killed, and they have attacked Qufu, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the flawed hill of Lujun Prefecture. At present, Duan Wencao's troops are limited, and his morale is extremely low, so he can only hold on to the city and let the thieves in Xuzhou plunder the township. For this reason, Duan Wencao asked Zhang Xutuo for help and asked him to rescue Qufu. Qufu is the hometown of the Confucian saints, the temple of Confucianism in the Middle Earth, scholars and Confucian scholars gathered, if Qufu fell, was looted by thieves or even burned by thieves, don't say that Duan Wencao can't afford this responsibility, Zhang Xutuo is also to blame. Zhang Xutuo is only more than 100 miles away from Qufu, but he can't save him when he sees death, and lets Qufu turn into ruins.

Zhang Xutuo was shocked and angry. I was surprised that the thieves in Xuzhou were so strong, first made Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong in Xuzhou disgraced, and now let Duan Wencao, a veteran of the Wei Mansion, plant a big heel, if you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid you will also "miss the front hoof". Angry, Duan Wencao for his own selfish interests, insisted on going his own way, and was stubborn and self-serving, and as a result, he fell into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on his back, unable to stop the Qizhou thieves in the north, and unable to resist the Xuzhou thieves in the south, pushing the situation in Lujun County and even the entire Qilu situation into a crisis.

Do you want to rescue Qufu immediately?

Soldier Cao Shuzuo Qin Qiong immediately issued a warning, this is very likely to be the Xuzhou thieves' plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao, once the Qi army divides troops to rescue Qufu, Yangguan may fall into the Xuzhou thieves and Qizhou thieves before and after.

"How did Qin Bingsi believe that the Qizhou thieves and the Xuzhou thieves had made contact, and exchanged voices and supported each other?"

Jia Yanfu, the leader of the Linyi regiment, questioned Qin Qiong's words. Jia Yanfu is the son of Jia Wuben, the lieutenant of Qi County, in his early twenties, which is the age of blood and strength, and his words are full of aggressive momentum. Jia Wuben's father and son are from Hedong, from the family of ordinary eunuchs, and have always been attached to the Xue family, one of the three wealthy families in Hedong. Jia Yanfu was originally a guard beside Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, and participated in the battle of Tuyuhun in the west and the battle of conquering Yiwu in the Western Regions, and then went home to recuperate due to injuries.

Qin Qiong shook her head, "I don't have a credential, it's just a guess." From common sense, Wang Bo and Meng Rang will inevitably look for opportunities to break through the siege under our encirclement and interception, and more importantly, they must find a safe place to stay, Mengshan is obviously their best choice, so they will inevitably send scouts to the Mengshan area to inquire about the military situation. At this time, the Xuzhou thieves captured Mengshan and attacked Lu County along the Surabaya River, making a lot of noise. With such a big movement, how could Wang Bo and Meng Rang's scouts not know? Now that we know, how can we let go of such a God-given opportunity? ”

Qin Qiong walked to the map, pointed to the Baowei Mountain and Bian Cheng on the map, and said, "The Xuzhou thief is here, at the source of Surabaya, and the Qizhou thief is in the upper reaches of Wenshui, and the distance between the two places is only more than two hundred miles, so we can't help but make the worst assumptions." Judging from the recent series of actions of the Xuzhou thieves, the purpose of its strategy against the Qizhou thieves is obvious. Imagine, a rebel army that has just gone through hardships and dangers from both sides of the Tongji Canal and fled thousands of miles into Mengshan, what they urgently need is to rest, to take a breath, and to gain a foothold in Mengshan, instead of as we see now, impatiently going down the mountain to burn and kill and plunder, so it is not enough, and also burned Surabaya City, attacked Qufu, and threatened the Lu County capital Defective Hill, it seems that Lu County will not give up if it is not turned upside down. This is obviously not normal, there are only two explanations for this, either the Xuzhou thief is crazy, or he has another purpose, but this Xuzhou thief is killed from the encirclement and interception of General Dong, a famous general of the Weifu, he can't be crazy, so the only explanation is that he has another purpose, and this purpose, ten likely, is to help the Qizhou thief break through to the south, and join Mengshan. ”

Jia Yanfu was speechless for a while, unable to find a reason to refute.

Zhang Xutuo was silent. He agreed with Qin Qiong's analysis and inference, but Duan Wencao had already been defeated, and because of the suddenness of the incident, coupled with some other important factors, Duan Wencao had not requisitioned the Zongtuan Township Regiment of Lu County to form a local army, so that now he had no troops available, so he could only ask Zhang Xutuo for help.

Zhang Xutuo was in a dilemma. If you divide the troops to rescue and fall into the trap of thieves, let the Qizhou thieves and the Xuzhou thieves join Mengshan, the situation in Qilu will deteriorate in the future, and you will not be able to escape responsibility; On the contrary, if you don't save yourself when you see death, you will not only offend the brothers Duan Wenzhen and Duan Wencao, but also offend the Qilu aristocratic group, and make enemies on all sides, and you will definitely be unable to move an inch in Qilu in the future, and you will be controlled everywhere. Of course, you can't take chances and deny Qin Qiong's inference, as Qin Qiong said, you must plan for the worst, there is no doubt about it.

Zhang Xutuo weighed it for a long time, but it was still difficult to decide, so he asked Yu Qin Qiong, "If your inference is correct, how to deal with it?" ”

"Ming Gong went south to Juping and Liang's father, the original intention was to set up two traps, no matter which direction the Qizhou thieves broke through, we could put them to death, but Duan Yuanjun was suddenly defeated by Bian Cheng, and the Xuzhou thieves had room to maneuver, and the situation changed again. Now that we are in a position of passivity, if we want to reverse the crisis, we have to give up a trap, otherwise we are very likely to fall short. ”

Qin Qiong said it very bluntly and did not shy away from it. Zhang Xutuo sighed secretly, all the previous efforts were abandoned, there was no way, there were no soldiers in hand, and he couldn't fight if he wanted to, so he could only make a choice.

Zhang Xutuo immediately made a decision, since it could not be decided in a battle and annihilate the traitors in one fell swoop, then from the long-term interests, first maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Duan Wencao brothers and the Qilu aristocratic group, so as not to intensify the conflict and expand the conflict. As long as he can stay in the Qilu region, can get the support of some Qilu nobles, and can continue to lead troops to quell the rebellion, then everything in the future is possible.

Zhang Xutuo ordered that the two township regiments of Linji and Zhangqiu, as well as the two brigades of Duan Wencao's stay in Juping and Liang's father, immediately go south with him to rescue Qufu, and the important task of defending against the enemy in Yangguan was entrusted to the soldiers Cao Shuzuo Qin Qiong and the two township regiments of Licheng and Linyi.

Although Zhang Xutuo did not clearly express his abandonment of sticking to the line of Juping and Liang's father, his meaning was obvious, and when the situation was in the worst direction, he allowed the Qizhou thieves to break through and move south.

Duan Wencao absolutely did not want to see the Qizhou thieves and Xuzhou thieves meet Mengshan, if Zhang Xutuo directly ordered, Duan Wencao would inevitably speculate on Zhang Xutuo's true intentions with malice afterwards. In order to avoid conflict between the two sides, Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to put Qin Qiong in Yangguan, and afterwards put all the responsibility on Qin Qiong. It's Qin Qiong and the two township regiments who can't hold Yangguan, and it has nothing to do with me, Zhang Xutuo. In this way, Duan Wencao couldn't grasp Zhang Xutuo's handle, even if he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.

The gentleman takes care of his roots, the interests of Qi County are the interests of Zhang Xutuo, and in the last resort, Zhang Xutuo would rather the thieves of Qizhou go south to Mengshan than they will kill back to Qi County again. Although Zhang Xutuo has to take responsibility for this, Duan Wencao's responsibility is even greater, if it wasn't for Duan Wencao's defeat at Bian Cheng, why would the situation have deteriorated to this point?
