Zhang Xutuo defeated Wang Bo in the area of Linyi County of Qi County, and drove the Changbai Mountain rebels across the frozen river and drove them out of Qi County. Then he ordered his soldiers Cao Shuzuo and Qin Qionghuo to lead the army south to Lu County, and joined forces with the Lu County army to encircle and suppress the Mengshan bandits.

Qin Qiong led three township regiments into Qufu and confronted the Mengshan Righteous Army on the front line of Fangshan.

Duan Wencao put all his energy into the formation of the local army, actively ran and coordinated, and estimated that the army building would be completed by the end of the year, and intensive training would be carried out after the year, so that he would be able to pull the battlefield into chaos and suppress thieves in the spring.

At the same time, Dong Zhitong, the general of Wuyalang of the Right Waiting Guard, led the troops of five regiments of Ludong Zhuyingyang, and after defeating Meng Rang in the area of Langya Ju County, he went south to enter Fei County, preparing to attack Mengshan.

Dou Xuan also went all out to form a local army, but he was a Guanlong man, and it was difficult for him to win the support of the local prestige of Langya, and the initial progress was slow, but fortunately, Meng Rang's burning, killing, and plundering had angered the nobles and bureaucrats of Langya County, and the degree of building the army was greatly accelerated.

Mengshan was caught in the middle of the east and west attacks of the official army.

At this moment, the holy decree of the Eastern Capital arrived in Pengcheng.

At the strong request of Zhou Fashang, the deputy commander of the navy, the eastern capital ordered the Xuzhou army to enter Mengshan to suppress the thieves, and the Xuzhou army that entered the Mengshan to suppress the thieves must follow Zhou Fashang's orders in order to facilitate unified command.

Liang Dezhong immediately ordered the formation of an army of thieves, with six regiments, drawn from Pengcheng, Tengcheng and Peicheng Yingyangfu, and the commander of this army was Wei Yunyue, the general of Peicheng Yingyanglang. According to Liang Dezhong's requirements, Wei Yunyue must lead his army into Changxi before the end of the year, and command the army of thieves to surround Mengshan from the two directions of Tengcheng and Lanling.

The formation of the Pengcheng local army was very smooth. Within a month, an army of 10,000 people was formed, followed by the training of the whole army, and planned to cooperate with the Xuzhou army to attack Mengshan after the year.

At this point, the official army formed a situation of encirclement on three sides of Mengshan, and the sword was tense and at the touch of a button.

As the New Year approached, the wheels of history rolled forward, rumbling into the eighth year of the Great Cause (612 AD).

The Crusade begins.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued an edict that the 24th Route Army of the Eastern Expedition marched together and killed Pyongyang.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the first army led by Mai Tiezhuo, the general of Zuotunwei, left Zhuojun and went straight to Liaodong.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the emperor left Linshuo Palace and led the palace to the front line of the Eastern Expedition.

The Middle-earth army, known as the two million heroes, marched to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, which was a national war, which determined the rise and fall of the glory and disgrace of Middle-earth, and the whole of Middle-earth was boiling, and they were all dedicating their strength to the Eastern Expedition.

Spring came, and the snow melted in Mengshan, but the battle to encircle and suppress Mengshan did not start as scheduled.

Zhou Fashang's thinking is very clear, the Eastern Expedition is the first, and the sailor crossing the sea expedition is the first, so everything must be carried out around the Eastern Expedition, and if the Eastern Expedition is won, any crisis and difficulties will be solved, so his main purpose of suppressing the thieves in Mengshan is to surround but not fight, and surround Mengshan like an iron bucket, so that the thieves will not have the opportunity to go down the mountain and plunder.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, Neishi Ling Yuanshou died of illness on the way to the East.

The center of this dynasty is composed of Shangshu, Neishi, and Menxia provinces, of which Shangshu Province is the highest administrative body, responsible for the implementation of important national decrees, and Neishi and Menxia are decision-making bodies, of which the Neishi Province is responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edicts, and Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the decisions made by the Neishi Province, so the officials of the three provinces are all central members, the decision-makers of the dynasty, and the status of the Neishi Decree is particularly important.

The emperor was grieving the loss of his humerus.

This news spread to the eastern capital as quickly as possible, and then spread from the post station system to counties and counties across the country.

The twelve ladies of the Cui family were extremely shocked when they heard the bad news.

She was not shocked by the unfortunate death of Ling Yuanshou in the internal history, but shocked that Li Fengyun's crazy words actually worked.

Cui Jiu and Cui Deben were equally shocked. At the beginning, they scolded Li Fengyun to the point of blood, and they hated to eat him alive, but now they are looking at each other, is Li Fengyun still a master of mathematics, can predict the future, and judge life and death?

Li Fengyun predicted that in February, the emperor's cousin, Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, also died of illness on the way to the east. If this prediction comes true again, Choi will have to make assumptions based on Li Fengyun's prediction, assuming that Choi Hongsheng really has only one year to live, how Choi will deal with the series of crises that will lead to it.

When Xu Shiyun heard the bad news, he was also shocked, and rushed to Pengcheng with 100,000 fires. If nothing else, Choi is definitely going to react.

Just as Xu Shichang arrived in Pengcheng, the bad news came again, and Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, died of illness on February 12 on the way to the east.

It was only a little more than a month after the start of the Eastern Crusade, and before the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived in Liaoshui to attack, two highly respected senator-level ministers fell in the center, and the emperor lost two important ministers, which was obviously a bad omen, and it was also a big blow to the morale of the army.

For Cui's family, it means that a crisis related to the rise and fall of the family is coming.

After urgent discussions with Cui Jiu and Cui Deben, the Twelve Ladies resolutely decided to carry out limited cooperation with Li Fengyun within a limited scope.

The Twelve Ladies urgently summoned Xu Shiyun and asked him to go up the mountain to convey Cui's goodwill and seek limited cooperation.

Xu Shiyun saw Li Fengyun again and was in awe. This brother is too mysterious, you treat him as crazy, but in the end, it is you who is stupid. This time, Xu Shiyun's mentality is completely different, although he does not respect Li Fengyun as a god, but he does not dare to treat others with himself anymore and treat him lightly.

However, the strange thing is that Li Fengyun dragged it up, only cared about drinking and eating food with Xu Shiyun, and talked nonsense, just not talking about business. Mengshan is barren, and now it is surrounded by officers and regiments, losing support from the outside world, while the population has increased by nearly 10,000, after a winter, the severity of its stomach crisis can be imagined, it stands to reason that it should be Li Fengyun who is anxious at the moment, but Li Fengyun is leisurely, the clouds are light and the wind is light, as if he does not know that the righteous army is facing the danger of being cut off.

"Brother, the Cui clan has told the secret of the siege of Mengshan on three sides by the Cui clan in detail, and hinted that Brother can choose Fujicheng as the place to break through." Xu Shiyun cautiously tentatively said, "As long as Brother leads the army into Jiyin County, he will definitely be able to solve the food crisis." ”

Li Fengyun laughed, "I didn't see that Mengshan was in danger of running out. ”

"Could it be that the food in my brother's hands can still last until summer? Or does my brother plan to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and live on the bark of the trees in Mengshan? ”

Li Fengyun laughed, "Da Lang, you stand tall and see far away, and you stand at the foot of the mountain, and what you see is a lush mountain, and you don't know anything." In your opinion, Mengshan has been surrounded by officials and troops on three sides, like an iron bucket, if there is no external assistance, a certain will be helpless, dying and struggling, but in a certain opinion, the encirclement of Mengshan by the official army is really vulnerable, a certain only need to wave his hand, the official army will be like a chicken and a dog. ”

Xu Shiyun rolled his eyes and was speechless. Who are these people? Say you're fat, you're panting, you're too crazy, aren't you? With a wave of your hand, you can wipe out the officials and soldiers under the mountain, in this case, you can continue to stay on the mountain and dream your spring and autumn dreams.

Xu Shiyun said goodbye and hurriedly returned to Pengcheng, and as soon as he walked into Cui's mansion, Cui Jiu appeared and pulled him straight to the back hall.

Something went wrong? Which Nexus is dead again? When Xu Shichang was puzzled, Cui Jiu took the initiative to speak, "The situation has changed suddenly, Qilu is in chaos, traitors are swarming, and the counties along the river have fallen into chaos, and the situation is very tense. ”

Xu Shiyun was shocked, and suddenly remembered Li Fengyun who spoke wildly, and also remembered that Li Fengyun had tried his best to persuade the Wagang Zhuxiong to rebel years ago, so it turned out that he had predicted that Qilu was going to be in chaos.

Last year, the floods on the big river were severe, and all the counties on both sides of the river from Baima down to Baima were affected, and millions of people were affected. At that time, the whole country was preparing for the Eastern Crusade, especially in Shandong, because it was the rear of the Eastern Crusade, not only had to send troops, people, but also food and other materials, and the local government was overwhelmed. However, between the official hat and the common people, the aristocracy and bureaucracy without exception chose the official hat and deliberately concealed the disaster from the emperor and the central government, so that the disaster relief was ineffective.

The victims had no way to live, only to rebel, so under the leadership of some local heroes, they rose up, attacked the city, burned and plundered, and struggled to survive. As a result, the places that were not affected were plundered by the rebels and turned into ruins. Natural disasters have increased **, and lives have been devastated, so the fields have been barren, and more ownerless people have been created. But at this moment, the aristocracy and bureaucracy wanted official hats, and the government had to do its best to protect the Eastern Crusade, and while suppressing the rebels by force, the government not only did not try to help more and more civilians who fell into despair, but instead increased the exploitation of innocent civilians, so more civilians had to join the ranks of the rebels.

This is where the vicious circle begins.

Winter has passed, and spring has arrived. When the spring flowers bloom and everything recovers, it is also the time to plough and sow seeds. However, the flooded land was left untended and left with only grass. There was no land to be affected, because the rebels swept through like locusts and devoured everything, and there was no one to take care of it, and there was only grass on the land. On the plains on both sides of the great river, there is a barren grass, and the rebels have nothing to eat, so they can only kill farther away, and can only expand the scope of burning, killing and plundering. As a result, more counties were looted by the rebels, more civilians were dragged away by the rebels, and more land was left uncultivated.

This cycle repeats itself, and the situation is as bad as you can imagine.

After the beginning of spring, the wave of uprising set off a shocking storm, swept across both sides of the river overnight, countless heroes and heroes raised the banner of rebellion without hesitation, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and fighting with the Great Sui Dynasty to the end.

Qilu has become the hardest hit area.

Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche, the heroes of Jibei County, gathered to rebel.

The eldest son of the handsome Pei of Qi County, Shizihe rose up. The handsome Zuo Junxing of Qi County adhered to Changbai Mountain, and made a comeback after the beginning of spring, and the momentum rose again.

The marshals of Beihai County, Guo Fangpre and Qin Junhong, raised troops to rebel.

Gaomi County's handsome Xie Xiang and Zheng Dabiao captured Jiaoxi and raised the banner of righteousness. At the same time, Meng Rang, the marshal of Qi County, led his army into Gaomi County and went straight to Beihai to return to Qi County and then go up to Changbai Mountain.

Donglai County's handsome Zuo Xiaoyou gathered tens of thousands, according to the squatting dog mountain.

The handsome Shuai Rentai of Lu County and the handsome Huo Xiaohan of Dongping County gathered tens of thousands of fishermen in Juyeze and raised troops to rebel.

In the surrounding area of Qilu, Meng Haigong, the marshal of Jiyin County, gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel.

The Qilu rebel army blossomed everywhere and flooded, and the situation in Qilu and its surroundings took a sharp turn for the worse.

At the same time, in the Hebei region, the heroic Lu Mingyue rebelled in Hejian and Xindu, Geqian and Gao Kaidao rebelled in Bohai, Du Yanbing and Wang Run rebelled in the plains, Wang An and Zhao Junde rebelled in Qinghe, Li Wenxiang rebelled in Jijun, Wang Deren rebelled in Wei County, and Yang Gongqing rebelled in Handan. In addition to the heroes of Liu Badao, Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng and other heroes who rebelled last year, the rebel army also swarmed north of the river and was unstoppable.
