The Lu army evacuated from Surabaya in a hurry, the Qi army was afraid of the battle and did not attack, and the battle situation was very favorable to the righteous army, which greatly encouraged the morale of the soldiers. Unity is strength, as long as the brothers work together and unite as one, even in the face of powerful officers and soldiers, even in the face of strong eagle guards, the ragged rebels with sticks in their hands have the power to fight.

Li Fengyun took the lead every day, commanding the Cangtou army stationed in Juping to go out of the city to fight, and then urged the Jibei army stationed in Yangguan and the Dongping army stationed in Liang's father to follow closely behind, and also went out of the city every day to attack.

Zhang Xutuo changed his strategy, guarding the camp every day, showing the enemy weakness, although this made many soldiers very dissatisfied, full of complaints, and must have hit the morale of Cheng Dù, but gave Zhang Xutuo a reason to coerce Duan Wencao, which could force Duan Wencao to do his best to order the Lu army to withdraw from the Surabaya line. The Qi army has begun to show weakness to the enemy and is ready to evacuate Lu County, what reason does the Lu army have to continue to attack Mengshan? If you Duan Wencao don't trust a certain and are unwilling to cooperate with a certain person, why should you be sentimental and have to help you kill the thief army?

After a few days of stalemate, Duan Wencao told Zhang Xutuo that the Lu army had withdrawn from the front line of Surabaya, and Niu Jinda had retreated to Qufu and confronted the Mengshan thieves at the key pass of Fangshan. He also told the reinforcements of the 2,000 Township Regiment in Pengcheng that under the command of Lanling Xiao Hao, had been stationed in Zou County, echoing the north and south of the Yingyang Mansion in Tengcheng, and undertook the important task of containing the Jiyin thief Meng Haigong and the Mengshan thief Han Yao.

Duan Wencao believed that with the support of Pengcheng, the southern area of Lu County, centered on Zou County, would not have to worry about trouble for the time being, and he could take this opportunity to gather the main force of the Lu army on the line of Qufu and Gongqiu in the northeast of Jianqiu, so as to cooperate with Zhang Xutuo's Qi army to encircle and annihilate the rebels.

After reading the letter, Zhang Xutuo was not happy and angry, and his face was very ugly.

It has been many days since Pengcheng's reinforcements entered Lu County, and Duan Wencao didn't tell him at the first time, and the reason is self-evident.

Lanling is located in the north of Pengcheng County, very close to Lu County, and like Lu County, it is deeply affected by the scourge of Mengshan bandits, so it is reasonable for the Lanling Xiao clan to go north to support. However, the Lanling Xiao clan belongs to the Jiangzuo aristocratic group, and whether or not to send troops to support Duan Wencao must first be based on the interests of the group, and is not affected by the Cui clan, the first wealthy family in Shandong, and Cui Deben actually does not command the Lanling Xiao clan at all. Considering that Jiangzuo's powerful Zhou Fashang had the same interests as the Lanling Xiao clan, and was extremely concerned about the situation in Qilu and even Xuzhou, Zhang Xutuo had to think repeatedly about the real intentions of the Lanling Xiao clan to support Lu County, so as not to fall into the middle of the Shandong and Qilu people.

"My lord, Duan Yuanjun doesn't trust you at all." Zhang Yuanbei put the letter on the desk and said angrily, "From this, it is inferred that the adult's plan to annihilate the enemy will not be followed by the Qilu people at all, and it is more likely to be leaked." My lord, this battle can't be fought, so let's withdraw to Qi County as much as possible. ”

Zhang Xutuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and glared at Zhang Yuanbei fiercely, "You let someone break his promise and let Qiao Gong and Duan Yuanjun join forces to attack a certain one?" ”

"My lord, the situation is clear. You asked Duan Envoy Jun to give an order to let the Lu army withdraw from the Surabaya line as much as possible to show the enemy to be weak, but Duan Envoy Jun refused to carry it out, and it was not until the Lanling Xiao clan arrived at Zou Mountain with Pengcheng reinforcements and helped Duan Envoy Jun contain the thief marshal Meng Haigong and Han Yao, and ensure the safety of the southern part of the Bianqiu, that he let the Lu army withdraw to Qufu. From this, it can be inferred that Duan Envoy Jun was highly wary of the adult, and did not believe that the adult would help him kill the traitor, on the contrary, he may suspect that the adult wanted to kill him with a knife, and wanted to kill him by the hands of the bandits. ”

Zhang Xutuo was silent, and his mood became worse. There are many internal contradictions on their side, and there is no trust between the Guanlong people and the Qilu people, how can this battle be fought? But if this battle is not fought, if the thieves of Mengshan cannot be severely injured and Lu County is allowed to fall into chaos, then if the thieves in the north and south of Mount Tai are connected as one and support each other, how can the Qi County shape be reversed? The deterioration of the shape of Qi County and Lu County will inevitably affect the expedition of the Donglai Water Division, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"My lord, take a closer look at Duan Envoy Jun's letter." Zhang Yuanbei pushed the letter on the desk to Zhang Xutuo, pointed to the content on it and said, "Duan Yuanjun said that he intends to gather the main force of the Lu army on the line of Qufu and Gongqiu, the meaning is obvious, he doesn't want the Mengshan bandits to kill under the city of Bianqiu, he doesn't want to lure the enemy deeper, he thinks that maintaining his face and reputation is far more important than fighting against thieves. But in this case, how do adults arrange their troops? Gongqiu is less than 100 miles away from Juping, and there is no way to lure the enemy deeper, once the rebels are lurking on the west bank of the river, they will inevitably see through the master's plan, turn around and escape, this battle still can't be won. ”

Zhang Xutuo pushed away the letter in front of him, picked up the map on the desk and slowly unfolded it, leaning over to take a closer look.

Zhang Yuanbei walked to Zhang Xutuo's side and pointed to the line of Zou Cheng and Pingyang on the map, "It seems reasonable for the Lanling Xiao clan to go north to support, but it actually increases the variables of the situation in Lu County. ”

"The Lanling Xiao clan is from Jiangzuo, and Cui Juncheng can't move the command, and he doesn't dare to call it, for fear of causing misunderstanding by Duan Envoy. From the standpoint of the Shandong people, since Cui Juncheng wants to support Lu County, why don't he send his own henchmen? and Liang Dezhong of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion, does he support Cui Juncheng to support Lu Jun? If Liang Dezhong does not support it, Cui Juncheng will inevitably have to compromise, and at this time, the Lanling Xiao clan stepped forward, although we can understand that we can take care of the overall situation, but it must also be related to Qiao Gong (Zhou Fashang). ”

Qiao Gong was arrogant to the adults, and his voice was fierce, and he was also angry at Duan Envoy, and he spoke viciously. The responsibility for the recent deterioration of the situation in Qilu is in his opinion the sins of the adults and Duan Envoy, especially Duan Envoy, who enjoys high prestige in Qilu, and it stands to reason that with his ability, he can completely stabilize the situation, but the result is the opposite, what is the reason behind this? Did Duan Envoy Jun join forces with the magnates of Qilu to hinder the Eastern Crusade for some purpose? ”

"Shandong people hate us Guanlong people, and they will do everything to fight us. At that time, Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, rebelled, fought with the emperor, and the brothers fought against each other, which was a conspiracy from the Shandong people. In the end, the Guanlong people killed each other, with countless casualties and great damage to their vitality. Today, the emperor went on an expedition to the east and exhausted his national strength, and there were many opponents in the eastern capital, among which the Guanlong people accounted for the majority. Just imagine, if the crusade fails, who will be the scapegoat? Who would the emperor kill to vent his anger? Of course, it is the Guanlong people, and the people who oppose his eastern crusade among the Guanlong elites, so that our Guanlong people will be hit hard again, and the fishermen who benefit are Shandong people. My lord, where are the rebels today? Just north and south of the river, it is the Shandong people, and this must be another conspiracy of the Shandong people to attack our Guanlong people. ”

Zhang Xutuo turned his head and glanced at the indignant Zhang Yuanbei, and shook his head, "This is stopped between our father and son, don't let the generals under the tent hear it, and shake the hearts of the army." ”

Zhang Yuanbei also shook his head, feeling that he had said it, not only did not comfort his father, but made his father even more depressed. In many cases, the situation is ambiguous, and everyone analyzes and deduces from their own standpoints, and the conclusions are very different, and the final result is also very different. How many people can really see the situation and read the secrets? Zhang Xutuo can't see clearly, and Zhang Yuanbei can't do it anymore, he can only take one step and see one step, but he will never deviate from his own position and interests.

"This is a battle we must fight." Zhang Xutuo said, "Otherwise, it will not be able to effectively curb the deterioration of the situation in Qilu, let alone ensure that the Donglai Navy Division will expedition as scheduled." ”

Zhang Xutuo's determination has not changed, and the reason why he disregarded the safety of Qi County and went south to Lu County with all his strength was to severely damage the traitors in the northwest of Lu. The traitors in the northwest of Lu had just raised their banners and were weak, and now they had to form an alliance to protect themselves under external threats, and as a result, they gathered together and gave Zhang Xutuo a chance to fight. On the contrary, the thieves in northeastern Shandong, especially the bandits in Changbai Mountain, have been rebelling for a while, and have accumulated rich guerrilla experience in fighting against the officers and troops. In this case, if Zhang Xutuo severely injured the thieves in the northwestern part of Lu and his prestige was greatly enhanced, he would definitely deter the thieves in the northeast of Lu and avoid them. In this way, Zhang Xutuo can win time, as long as the Donglai sailors cross the sea for an expedition, the burden on Zhang Xutuo's shoulders is lifted, and he can wait for the expeditionary force to return and kill the traitors with an absolute advantage.

"My lord, whether this battle will be fought or not, and how to fight it, the key is not whether our Qi army is determined, but whether Duan Envoy Jun trusts the adult and is willing to act according to the adult's strategy." Zhang Yuanbei picked up Duan Wencao's letter and shook it a few times at Zhang Xutuo, "Now Beiping Xianghou Duan Ge died of illness on the way to the east, the Beihai Duan clan lost its backer, the Qilu nobles were suddenly hit hard, and the people were panicked. Once the Eastern Crusade was over, the emperor and the expeditionary force returned, and stabilized the situation in Qilu with a thunderous force. ”

Zhang Xutuo has his own interests, Duan Wencao also has it, and he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the interests of the entire Qilu people, so the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable.

According to Zhang Xutuo's strategy of destroying the enemy, Duan Wencao had to make some sacrifices, and these sacrifices were not conducive to Duan Wencao, so when Pengcheng's reinforcements entered Lu County, Duan Wencao changed his mind, he would rather confront the Mengshan bandits in a stalemate, rather than risk the Lu County Mansion and its surrounding areas becoming ruins, and closely cooperate with Zhang Xutuo to encircle and annihilate the traitors. If the flawed hill and its surrounding areas become ruins, even if this battle is won, Lu County will be greatly injured, and as a result, the credit will be given to Zhang Xutuo alone, and Duan Wencao's merits and demerits will be difficult to compensate, and he will eventually be impeached by the Yushitai, and the official hat will definitely not be kept.

Zhang Xutuo agreed with his son's analysis, he bowed slightly, and said in a firm tone, "A certain person went to the flawed hill and conspired with Duan Envoy Jun to suppress the thief. This battle must be fought. ”
