"In your opinion, Meng Rang took Changbaishan rebels to attack Langya County, which would attract a large number of official troops, which would be unfavorable to Mengshan." Li Fengyun said with a smile, "In the opinion of the opponent, Meng Rang and Changbaishan rebels are one with our Xuzhou rebels, and they are not distinguished from each other. If Changbaishan rebels attack Langya County, the opponent will make a wrong analysis and judgment on the current situation." Li Fengyun pointed to Han Yao and the other three, and smiled, "It is the deduction you just made. The opponent will think that we want to capture Langya County and develop and grow with Langya County as the base, which will cut off the transportation channel connecting Donglai and Jianghuai, which will seriously threaten the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, when Meng Rang and Changbaishan rebels attack Langya County, they will inevitably attract a large number of official troops from Qi, Lu and even Xuzhou to Langya County."

A thought suddenly emerged from the three of them, "The White-haired Coach wants to use Meng Rang as bait to attract the main force of the official army to Langya County, and then attack other places? Lu County or Pengcheng? Judging from the geographical location of Langya County, both the official army in the Donglai direction and the official army in the Xuzhou direction may enter Langya for battle, and the Xuzhou army is closest to Langya County, and the possibility of going north to Langya is the greatest. Inferred, the White-haired Coach's target is probably Pengcheng.

"Langya County, a poor place, can support us, but it is impossible to grow and grow." Li Fengyun finally said his heart, "We saved Meng Rang and gave Changbai Mountain Rebels food and weapons. This is a huge favor. They must repay it immediately. If they don't return it now, it will be even more impossible to repay it in the future. This is obvious."

Li Fengyun said it lightly and quite reasonable, but the strength of the rebel army was there, and the situation in Zhongtu was also foreseeable. After the victory of the Eastern Expedition, the army of the Eastern Expedition returned one after another, and the number of official troops in the Qilu area would increase exponentially. There were also the Donglai Navy. It would be estimated that there were tens of thousands of troops. If nothing unexpected happened, a year later, in the winter next year, if the rebel army did not develop and grow, it would undoubtedly die.

It is still possible for the rebel army to attack Langya. Langya is steep and once captured, it is fully managed, and there is hope of resisting the encirclement and suppression of the government troops from all sides. If it is not good, you can also go out to sea to escape and find an island to hide it. At least you can survive. On the contrary, if the rebel army does not attack Langya, but attacks Lu County or Pengcheng. Even if a miracle occurs and is defeated, Lu County and Pengcheng are both places of four battles and there is no danger to defend. Just wait for the return of the Eastern Expedition Army, and there is no hope of persistence at all when the rebel army is destroyed.

When Han Yao and the other two were bluntly speaking out their worries, Li Fengyun laughed in disbelief.

"Who said the Eastern Expedition will definitely win?"

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly. With the strength of Middle Earth and the strength of the Guards, how could the Eastern Expedition be defeated? Although Li Fengyun's talent has won their respect and trust, the strength of Middle Earth today can be said to be unprecedented. The Turks who dominate the desert for thousands of miles were beaten to surrender by Middle Earth, let alone the small country in the Far East Goguryeo. The Eastern Expedition will definitely be victorious, and no Middle Earth is skeptical of this, except for the white-haired Li Fengyun. The three of them secretly despised you, you are too arrogant. If you do not face the upcoming crisis, the future will not be dark, but there will be no future at all.

"If the Eastern Expedition failed." Li Fengyun turned a blind eye to the three of them and continued to say on his own, "Then the Eastern Expedition army will not return. On the contrary, in order to maintain authority and to fight back to the face of Central China, the Emperor and the Central Government must launch a second Eastern Expedition in order to avenge revenge and wash away the shame. They will recruit more troops to the Far East battlefield and transport more materials from Jiangzuo to the Northeast. As the Chinese power continues to be consumed, the struggle in the court will become increasingly fierce, and internal contradictions will continue to intensify. With the sharp decline of the authority of the emperor and the central government, the central government's control over the local area will inevitably weaken rapidly, which will trigger a series of crises. The biggest crisis is the resurgence of local forces. The biggest crisis is the resurgence of local forces.

Once local forces become larger, they will form a separatist situation, the central government will be undermined, the country's destiny will be shaken, and the cause of unification will face the danger of collapse. However, the rise of local forces will take time, especially a fierce game with the central government in terms of power and wealth. In order to win the situation and time of resurgence, local forces will find ways to disrupt the world. In other words, those who raise flags will rise and fall in the future, and will spread all over the Middle Earth. The world is in chaos, and heroes will dominate and the lives will be devastated. At that moment, the central government will no longer be the central government, and the local government will no longer be the local government. Success, kings and defeats bandits, everything depends on strength to speak. Whoever has the strength can dominate the world, and even unify Zhongtu again and create an unprecedented empire."

This statement was normal before, but it was absurd later. The commander, such nonsense, would have passed. The three of them pretended not to hear it, and went out of the right ear and ignored it. Although there was indeed a possibility of failure in the Eastern Expedition, it was actually impossible. The emperor personally led the expedition, and it was said that there was more than one million troops, and he devoted his national strength to attack a small barbarian country. On the one hand, it was to show off his military power, and on the other hand, it was to intimidate the northern enemy. This mobilized troops, like killing a chicken and using a ox knife, where would he find the signs of failure?

However, Li Fengyun is still desirable to use Meng Rang's strategy. The most urgent task of the Xuzhou rebel army is to rest and practice internal skills. However, the strong enemies around are eyeing each other and may attack Mengshan at any time. At this time, using Meng Rang to attack Langya County to attract the attention of the official army and delay the time for the official army to encircle and suppress Mengshan is indeed conducive to the growth of the Xuzhou rebel army. As for the life and death of Meng Rang and Changbai Mountain rebel army, the Xuzhou rebel army does not care about it at all. Whether it is a knife to kill or deceiving it, it is all based on strength. If you are not strong enough, you can only be slaughtered.

When Du and Fu saw Li Fengyun, they told Meng Rang's plan in detail. In the final analysis, you give me money, grain and weapons, and I will help you fight Langya County to attract and restrain the official army. When the time is right, I will leave and I will return to Qi County, and you can easily take down Langya County, and then they will not owe each other.

Li Fengyun was very satisfied, but he still asked deliberately, "Why didn't Meng Shuai plunder Lu County nearby? Also, when he went to Qi County, it was only a short distance away from Mount Tai. If Meng Shuai wanted to return to Qi County, it would be most convenient to go to Mount Tai, why should he be far away?" The implication was that Meng Rang was lying to me? He had cheated on me with money, grain and weapons, and then ran away?

Du and Fu hurriedly explained according to Meng Rang's instructions.

In this battle, Meng Rang used his body as bait to restrain Zhang Xutuo's main force at Yangguan, thus helping Wang Bo and the main force of the rebel army to return to Qi County through Mount Tai. Zhang Xutuo was bound to pursue him with his head, and after the main force of the rebel army suffered this setback, his morale was sluggish, his strength was reduced, and he could not resist, so he could only evacuate northward. The river was about to freeze soon. After the freeze, the natural barrier became a thoroughfare, and Wang Bo and the main force of the rebel army could retreat to Hebei and meet with Liu Badao, Ge Qian of the rebel army of Douzigang, Hao Xiaode of the Pingyuan rebel army, Liu Heita and other heroes. While resting and resting, he was waiting for the opportunity to cross the river to the south.

In this case, even if Meng Rang returned to Qi County, he would at most use another bait to help Wang Bo and the main force of the rebel army retreat smoothly to Hebei. His own luck would not be so good, and he would inevitably fall into Zhang Xutuo's siege and annihilate the entire army.

As for why we didn't plunder Lu County nearby, Meng Rang's explanation seemed high-sounding. Meng Rang said that the official army was about to encircle and suppress Mengshan. Because of the Yingyang Mansion, the number of officials and soldiers in Lu County and Pengcheng must be the main force of encirclement and suppression, while Langya County must be the auxiliary attack because of the Yingyang Mansion. Xuzhou rebels alone deal with the enemy on three sides, and they were unable to continue. Meng Rang then anxious about the Xuzhou rebels' urgent matters and was willing to help with righteousness, but their strength was limited, so they could only stop the defensive.

Langya County Official Army. Considering that the number of officials in Langya County was small and the Xuzhou rebel army was about to fight against the strong enemy and was unable to provide long-term assistance to Changbaishan rebel army food and weapons, Meng Rang decided to change passive defense to active attack. Before the official army launched an attack on Mengshan, he took the initiative to attack Langya County. If he had good luck, it would not only solve the food and drink of the army, but may also force the officials in Qilu and Xuzhou to temporarily suspend the encirclement and suppress Mengshan and support Langya County with all his strength.

Li Fengyun's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes also showed a little sinister, "If the Qilu and Xuzhou official troops rushed into Langya County one after another, what would Meng Shuai plan to deal with it?"

Du and Fu said without thinking, "Of course, avoid the enemy's edge and take the initiative to retreat into the mountains."

"Meng Shuai escaped into the mountains. The government army could not find him, so he would come to find someone and attack Mengshan. By then, the government army would be besieged on three sides, and there were strong enemies on all sides. How would he deal with it?" Li Fengyun sneered, "If he did not burn and kill and loot in Langya County, the Qilu and Xuzhou government troops would not support Langya County. I just need to concentrate my efforts to deal with the two official troops of Lu County and Pengcheng. However, when he made such a fuss in Langya County, he would have to deal with the three strong enemies. May I ask, what does Meng Shuai mean?

?Do you want to lead the water east and attract all the officials in the eastern Shandong region to Langya County and let them attack someone, but he led his army to leave Langya County and enter the eastern Shandong region. He was free and happy in Gaomi and Beihai? The time was ripe. Wang Shuai, with the support of the Hebei rebel army, crossed Henan and attacked Zhang Xutuo, while Meng Shuai actively advanced westward in the eastern Shandong region and took the initiative to cooperate. The two attacked Zhang Xutuo in the north and south, and then they could fight back to Qi County again, right?"

Du and Fu became nervous and speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Li Fengyun laughed, "I'm so nervous? How can I hide my dirty thoughts from Meng Rang? The reason why I'm angry is that he has been using you to deceive me, but he hides behind me and dares not come out. He's too bullying. Your brothers go back and tell him that I agree, give him money, grain and weapons, and allow him to use Mengshan to attack Langya County. However, this is for the sake of your brother's face. I'll bully him and bully him. I'll endure it, but you brothers must remember that if you don't want to be bullied and don't want to be exploited, you have to control your own destiny. You have to be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Don't rely on others' roofs, and you'll be on others' noses, and you'll be up to others. Do you know?"

Du and Fu bowed to learn the lesson, and they already regarded Li Fengyun as their elder brother and as their own brother.
