At this moment, Xu Shiren, the hero of Rencheng, appeared like timely rain and offered an alliance to the Jibei Righteous Army. This is a charcoal in the snow, a benevolent and righteous act, worthy of being a hero. Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche were overjoyed as if they saw the light in the dark, and they agreed, but the two of them were also worried. The strength of the Mengshan Righteous Army is strong, and the Chu people and the Qi people are born with contradictions, if the Chu people use the name of alliance to annex the matter, will the Jibei Righteous Army not be in danger of annihilation?
Xu Shiren asked rhetorically, "Which is more powerful, Mengshan Yijun or Zhang Xutuo's Qi army?" ”
Of course, Zhang Xutuo's Qi army is powerful. Since Zhang Xutuo is powerful, that Zhang Xutuo entered Lu County, and the Mengshan Righteous Army is also in danger of being wiped out, and the Chu people also need allies and reinforcements, so this alliance strategy is beneficial to both sides, and both sides need it. Since both sides need to take their own benefits, the Mengshan Righteous Army will certainly not break its promise and attack its allies at the moment of life and death to bring about its own defeat.
Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche actually have no choice at all. Zhang Xutuo was chasing after him, and his selection of troops was only a few dozen miles away from Sucheng. Shuai Rentai's strength is not enough, and he has to run when Zhang Xutuo comes, so it is meaningless to go to Ping 6, on the contrary, it also affects Shuai Rentai, and it is not good that the two armies will end up together. The only way to survive is to form an alliance with the Mengshan Rebels, and if they have to, they can still go to Mengshan, of course, at that time, they don't care whether they are eaten by the Mengshan Rebels, and they can escape for a while.
It's a relief when you think about it. Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche immediately led the army across Wenshui, and while approaching Nanzhang City, they sent an envoy to Wenyang City with the hero Xu Shiren to visit Li Fengyun in Wenyang City.
Li Fengyun immediately ordered the Xuanfeng army located in Nanzhang City to pay close attention to the movements of the Qi army that was killing Lu County. At the same time, tell the regiments and brigades along the river that the Jibei Righteous Army is coming in alliance and escorting them along the way, so as not to conflict because of misunderstanding. Xu Shiren met with Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche, and rushed to Wenyang with them with the Jibei Righteous Army to join the main force of the Mengshan Righteous Army.
The main force of the Qi army pursued and killed to Sucheng.
Shuai Rentai did not dare to confront him, so he decisively evacuated Ping 6 and joined Huo Xiaohan, who was stationed in Juye City. Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan immediately sent an envoy to inform Meng Haigong of the current critical situation, and euphemistically proposed that once Zhang Xutuo killed Juye City, they had no choice but to go south into Jiyin County and retreat to the Heshui line. However, they withdrew into Jiyin County, if Zhang Xutuo pursued him relentlessly, then there would be a big trouble, where would a group of difficult brothers flee? Then go south is Liang County, that is, Pengcheng, into the territory of Xuzhou, and Xuzhou Zhuying Yang is strong, and the main force is stationed on both sides of the Tongji Canal, at any time to intercept the southward rebels, so that the rebels will be attacked by the enemy on their backs, and they are in danger.
Meng Haigong did not directly refuse, but boldly analyzed and predicted the situation, believing that they could not solve the fundamental problem by going south to Jiyin. Since Zhang Xutuo is killing with great momentum, how can he return empty-handed? For this reason, he proposed to build yì, taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Xutuo had not yet chased after him, nor did he join forces with Duan Wencao to encircle the righteous army, he entered Lu County, formed an alliance with the Mengshan righteous army, and joined hands to resist the official army.
Meng Haigong's proposition has the intention of "leading the water to the east". If you go south, you will attract Zhang Xutuo, and I can't beat Zhang Xutuo, everyone will be cornered and in trouble. Instead of harming my Jiyin Righteous Army, you should go to the Mengshan Righteous Army. The Mengshan Righteous Army has one of the biggest advantages, it occupies Mengshan, even if the rebels from all walks of life join forces, it doesn't matter if they can't beat Zhang Xutuo, it's a big deal to retreat into Mengshan, defend it according to the danger, and there must be no problem in survival.
Meng Haigong finally bluntly told Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan that if the situation became more and more unfavorable for me, I would also go east to Mengshan. At present, all the righteous armies in the northwest of Shandong are fighting on the Great Plains, because of their weak strength, they do not have any advantage in the confrontation with the official army and the official government.
Although Meng Haigong has selfish intentions, his remarks are still very reasonable, and his analysis and judgment of the situation are still very accurate, neither blindly confident nor overly pessimistic. It is a wise move to choose the lesser of two evils and put survival first.
Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan then broke off the idea of going south to Jiyin, but they did not immediately adopt Meng Haigong's Jianyi. The Mengshan Rebels were very strange to them, and they were from Xuzhou, and they had no sense of trust in each other. At this moment, their psychology is just like that of Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche before, they don't want to grovel to send people under the fence, and they are also worried that their strength is not good and they will be eaten by the Mengshan Righteous Army.
Just when the two were at a loss and in a dilemma, Xu Shiren, the hero of Rencheng, appeared. Everyone is an acquaintance, a friend for many years, trusting each other, and they don't hide their words, and they go straight to each other. Xu Shiren came to "fight the fire", and the plan of "fighting the fire" coincided with Meng Haigong's suggestion, both of which were allied with the Mengshan Righteous Army, and they all used the big tree of the "Mengshan Righteous Army" to temporarily escape the storm.
Forming an alliance is not the same as defecting. The alliance is that the brothers are on an equal footing, everyone is independent, and defecting is to send people under the fence and look at people's faces. Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan asked the matter clearly, and got Xu Shiren's promise, and Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche had already "thrown stones to ask for directions", and the result was as they wished, the Mengshan Righteous Army was very righteous, Bai Shuai was very courageous, and there was no such thing as bullying the small, bullying the weak, or even falling into the ground. Now that Zhang Xutuo is here, the Mengshan Righteous Army is also facing an existential crisis, and it is also in urgent need of allies and help.
Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan immediately ordered the evacuation of Juye and rushed to Wenyang with army fire.
Xu Shiren and Meng Haigong are also friends, and the relationship is very good, in order to invite Meng Haigong to participate in this alliance, he specially let his younger brother rush to Zhouqiao to persuade Meng Haigong to participate in this alliance. The purpose of everyone's rebellion is to oppose the Sui, they all want to overthrow the rule of the Guanlong people, and they all want to subvert the great cause of the Qiankun Tu king, in this case, why should they miss the opportunity to expand this time?
Meng Haigong was very cautious and did not respond to Xu Shiren's invitation. The Lujun Alliance of the Righteous Army from all walks of life is very powerful, but it also just gives Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao the opportunity to join forces to kill, so Zhang Xutuo will not go south to Jiyin for the time being. Of course, if Zhang Xutuo does not come, it does not mean that the Jiyin Righteous Army is safe, if you want to be safe, you must also defeat Zhang Xutuo, and if you want to defeat Zhang Xutuo, the only way for the rebels to enhance their strength with the strategy of the alliance is the only way. However, the rebels from all walks of life are fighting for themselves, each has its own advantages, a plate of scattered sand, the difficulty of forming an alliance is too great, although the Mengshan Righteous Army is the earliest to raise the flag, and there is territory, and the strength is OK, but the Mengshan Righteous Army is from Xuzhou, is a Chu people, its commander is neither a wealthy family, nor a famous local marshal, just a nameless thief, neither prestige, nor appeal, does not have the leadership temperament at all, how to master the alliance? What will you do to conquer the heroes and bring together all the righteous armies to resist the official army?
Meng Haigong plans to observe it first, take a look at the exhibition of the shape shì, if the alliance is successful, he will rush to join in the fun, see if he can fish in troubled waters to make some cheap, if the alliance fails, the rebels from all walks of life are still scattered, or the Mengshan rebels simply "big fish eat small fish" to annex the allies, he will be glad that he did not listen to the words of the heroes and hurriedly go to the alliance.

Zhang Xutuo's degree was very fast, from Sucheng in Dongping County into Ping 6 County in Lu County, and then crossed Wenshui, swept Ping 6, and his Feng army killed Juye City along the border of the two counties.
Fortunately, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan's evacuation was also fast, just as the Qi army was approaching Juye City, the fire crossed the flood channel, entered the west bank of Zhushui from the direction of Maodudian, and then went north along Zhushui to Gangcheng, the confluence of Zhushui and Wenshui.
Qin Qiong led the Qi army to select the front soldiers to pursue at the end. When Zhang Xutuo heard the news, he led the main force to kill the water, trying to intercept the Dongping rebels in the area of Ningyang City, an important town in the upper reaches of the river, but after all, it was a step too late. The Qi army galloped all the way, day and night, traveling more than 700 miles, people were tired and tired, so far they were exhausted, and they had to Chen Bing Ningyang to rest temporarily.
Zhang Xutuo's fire rush greatly surprised Duan Wencao and Niu Jinda's expectations, and the two of them couldn't help but feel grateful, but because of the deep-rooted contradictions between Guan Long and Shandong people, there was always some suspicion in this gratitude.
In comparison, Qi County is actually worse than Lu County, Qi County is not only rampant internal thieves, but its external traitors are also staring at him from all directions, in this case, Zhang Xutuo poured all his strength to help Lu County, ignoring the safety of Qi County, it is really contrary to common sense, and people have to doubt his motives.
Duan Wencao took some county officials and Yingyang officers, as well as more than a dozen truckloads of wine, meat and silk, to Ningyang to reward the Qi army, by the way, to explore Zhang Xutuo's reality, this strong temperament, brave and brave old army of Weifu, who fought and didn't want to die, what kind of reputation did he make, why did he suddenly run to support me like my Duan Wencao's brother of life and death, regardless of a single thing, this is simply impossible. If something goes wrong, it is a demon, Zhang Xutuo should not fall into the well, through the hands of this group of traitors, fishing in troubled waters, and want to put me to death, right?
After meeting, greetings, the red tape was finished, the two had to sit together, and without waiting for Duan Wencao to take the initiative to probe, Zhang Xutuo went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
"A certain came with all his might, the purpose was to drive all the thieves from Jibei, Dongping, and Jiyin into Lu County, and force them to join the Mengshan thieves. Under the pressure of life and death, the thieves will inevitably form an alliance and work together to stop our attack. In this way, the thieves in the northwest of Lu were gathered together, and their strength was enhanced, but it also gave us the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Zhang Xutuo bowed his hand as a courtesy, "The matter was in a hurry, and he did not inform the envoy in time, so that the envoy misunderstood, thinking that in order to solve the danger of Qi County, he deliberately drove the thieves in the northwest of Lu into Lu County. Here so-and-so confesses to the envoy. ”
Duan Wencao's face was happy, but he was even more suspicious in his heart. Zhang Xutuo said the truth, but not all the truth, he concealed a very important part.
