"In terms of strategy of annihilation of the enemy, a certain person coincided with the county magistrate." Duan Wencao said, "The thieves in Lu County are rampant, and they are plundered by powerful thieves in all directions. If they are surrounded and suppressed from all sides, they will be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides due to insufficient troops and difficult to take care of the head and tail, and they will be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, a certain person designed to use the strategy of forming an alliance to gather the thieves in one place to form a decisive battle."

Duan Wencao immediately invited him to join the Rencheng hero Xu Shiren and authorized him to implement the alliance strategy to gather all the thieves, and told him in detail.

"Now the county magistrate is leading his army southward, and the bandits flee to see the wind, which is exactly what will help Xu Shiren implement this strategy." Duan Wencao said at last, "According to the news that he received, the bandits of Jibei, Han Jinluo, and Zhen Baoche has gone to Wenyang to join the bandits of Mengshan. The bandits of Dongping, Rentai and Huo Xiaohan are on their way to Wenyang. There is no news about the bandits of Jiyin, Meng Haigong, but he is alone and can't help. Once he sees the situation is beneficial to the bandits, he will rush to join the alliance. It's just..."

Duan Wencao looked hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Xutuo knew it well, smiled slightly, and said, "The envoy is good at making plans. However, a certain army came and was aggressive, which destroyed the envoy's plan. In order to gather the thieves in northwest Shandong, the envoy must show the enemy to be weak, and the Qi army rushed to help, which turned into showing the enemy to be strong. Even if the thieves formed an alliance, they would not dare to attack on themselves. If some one and others attacked on themselves, the thieves would inevitably flee to Mengshan, so it would be difficult to kill the thieves."

Duan Wencao nodded repeatedly, "The navy is about to cross the sea, and Qiao Gong is extremely concerned about the situation in Qi and Lu. If someone cannot kill the thieves in the shortest time, it will definitely affect the navy's expedition and the great cause of the eastern expedition, and it will be of great consequence."

It’s not just a great sin, just wait and lose your head.

Zhang Xutuo was calm and confident, "Since the envoy has a traitor within the thief, he should be able to learn the secrets of the thief. If he seizes the opportunity, he will be able to kill the thief."

Duan Wencao remained silent and tentatively said, "The time is short, I wonder if the county magistrate has a plan to suppress the thieves?"

Zhang Xutuo looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "The key to the battle situation in Lu County is to show that the enemy is weak and lure the thieves to launch an attack. The same is true for the battle situation in Qi County. The key is to show that the enemy is weak. After a certain leader into Lu, the garrison power of Qi County was already empty, and the thieves who were fleeing to the four directions would definitely seize this opportunity to kill back to the two sides of the Ji River. When Qi County was in a hurry, he wanted to return to the rescue. Once a certain person left, the king lost the reinforcements and could only defend the city. In this way, he could show that the enemy was weak and lure the enemy to attack."

Duan Wencao suddenly realized when he heard this. No wonder Zhang Xutuo went south to support after receiving his letter of help. It turned out that this was his strategy to annihilate the enemy, which was to set two traps for the traitors in Qi County and Lu County. Zhang Xutuo entered Lu County, and the thieves in northwest Shandong fled to Mengshan and met. The thieves in northeast Shandong fought back to Qi County again, which made Zhang Xutuo fall into a dilemma of being in a dilemma of being difficult to deal with. The Qi army had to run back and forth, and was led by the traitors in both places and ran away. This seemed that Zhang Xutuo was passive, but in fact, the murderous intention was hidden in the passiveness. As long as Zhang Xutuo accurately grasped the opportunity, he could appear on two battlefields like a ghost, causing a fatal blow to the thief army that was caught off guard.

"When the thief attacked and was in a stalemate with a certain person, the county magistrate suddenly came out, cooperated with someone inside and outside, attacked the enemy in death." Duan Wencao laughed, "Then the county magistrate then rushed back to Qi County from the direction of Mount Tai, and the enemy was unpredictable, and the enemy was defeated, and he was killed."

"The envoy is good at making plans, and I am willing to follow the leader of the envoy." Zhang Xutuo was very respectful and low-key, and showed enough respect for Duan Wencao, fully expressing his intention to win over the nobles of Qilu and be willing to cooperate closely with the people of Qilu.

To kill the thieves of Qi and Lu, Zhang Xutuo, the Guanlong people alone, must not be able to win the support of the Qi and Lu nobles. This strategy is a good plan, but it is very difficult to implement. If the Qi and Lu nobles secretly collude with the thieves and inform the thieves, the strategy will inevitably end in failure, and may even be used by the thieves and attacked the official army severely, and then the trouble will be great.

Duan Wencao returned with satisfaction. After discussing specific discussions with Niu Jinda, he came up with a strategy to attack.

Zhang Xutuo led the Qi army to kill Wenyang directly, then advanced east along the Wen River, attacked Juping and Liangfu's line, and attacked the rebels with great fanfare.

Niu Jinda led the main force of the Lu army to kill Sishui directly, attack Mengshan, cut off the rebels' escape and return to the mountain, and made a situation of attacking the Qi army from north to south, and surrounding the rebels on the north bank of Sishui.

First, we show the enemy to be strong and force the bandits in the northwest Shandong to join forces to fight together. The bandits formed an alliance and became stronger, so they just waited for Zhang Xutuo to withdraw, and the bandits were arrogant and would launch a fierce counterattack against the Lu army, which gave the official army the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the bandits.

Zhang Xutuo agreed to Duan Wencao's attack strategy and led his army to kill Wenyang.

Niu Jinda led the main force of the Lu army to Qufu, and met with the two regiments of Yingyang Guards guarding Qufu, attacked the key pass of the defense mountain, and killed Sishui.

The Lu army in Rencheng and Zoushan blocked the attacks of two rebels from Jiyin Menghaigong and Mengshan Han Yao respectively.

Duan Wencao asked Cui Deben for help again, but he deliberately concealed the news that Zhang Xutuo had arrived in Lu County, and tried his best to exaggerate the current situation in Lu County, and begged Cui Deben to support him quickly. What he needed was not only the reinforcements from Pengcheng, but also the support of Cui Deben and Cui's family for the Qilu people, and the attitude of Shandong wealthy families to suppress the thieves in Qilu. The last point is particularly important. If the Shandong wealthy families headed by Cui did not intend to actively suppress the thieves, then the Qilu people could not do anything that would harm the interests of the Shandong people, and Duan Wencao could not work with Zhang Xutuo, a native of Guanlong, to suppress the thieves.

Faced with the aggressive Zhang Xutuo and the powerful Qi army, Li Fengyun ordered a retreat, and the main brigades on both sides of the Wenshui River retreated across the board and gathered at Wenyang and Juping.

Xu Shiren and Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan arrived in Wenyang.

Li Fengyun had already prepared the alliance. At the initiative of the Rencheng hero Xu Shiren, five heroes, Li Fengyun, Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan, sat together to discuss the alliance plan.

Strength determines everything. Li Fengyun has an absolute advantage in strength. Whether it is the number of troops or combat effectiveness, the Cangtou Army surpassed the other four armies, which gave him full control of the voice of this alliance. Because the situation was extremely bad, Han Jinluo and four other heroes had to lower their posture and curb their desires. Survival is the first priority at this moment. If you want to enter Mengshan smoothly when you are desperate, you can only bow your head to Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun was younger than they thought, and they imagined it was mature and steady, especially the talent, mind and courage shown in the alliance were far beyond their expectations. Therefore, the heroic spirits of all the heroes were at a disadvantage without realizing it. Although they were not ashamed of themselves, they were not convinced, but their fear and fear continued to increase. This kind of carelessness and fear further damaged their self-confidence, making them hindered in the alliance and completely controlled by Li Fengyun.

In fact, the alliance plan brought out by Li Fengyun has fulfilled the responsibilities of the leader to the greatest extent. All the rebels still maintain their independence, and all the heroes still have their own troops. However, in military operations, they must follow the strategies agreed upon after agreement, and in the distribution of spoils, the ones who see each other have a share and are completely equal. In this way, the ones who suffer the most are the strongest, which is obvious.

Li Fengyun is willing to be the "loser", which has won the favor and a certain degree of trust of all the heroes. At this critical moment, not everyone can do it for those who give up their own interests in order to take into account the overall situation, but those who can do it have a great mind, but they are certainly trustworthy.

Li Fengyun is not only willing to "suffer" in the distribution of future interests, but also willing to provide some weapons and supplies to all rebels in the current crisis. In order to take care of his younger brothers, he is willing to pay out of his own pocket, which is another "suffer". Although the part he took out is the spoils obtained from the attack this time, since he is willing to take it out, it shows his sincerity and love for his brothers.

However, after suffering losses, people often take advantage, and those who took advantage before will "suffer" at this time.

All the rebels came with their families. There were thousands of families, but in fact, the young and strong people who could fight were very limited. Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche's main troops were only more than 1,000. Most of the subordinates of Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan were fishermen from Juyeze. Many of these fishermen escaped to the lake to escape labor, so there were relatively more young and strong people, but the number did not exceed 2,000. The four rebels all claimed that they had tens of thousands of people. After raising the flag, the heroes and coaches were willing to do this. After all, they had to be strong. But once they fought with real swords and guns, they would be revealed and they ran faster than rabbits.

Now that we have formed an alliance, we are going to fight with the government army with real swords and guns, we have to pull out the main army. As for the relatives and the farmers and civilians who followed the army to fight everywhere, they must be resettled because they are all old, weak, women and children. If we continue to follow the army, not only will we be able to hold back, but our personal safety will not be guaranteed.

How to resettle? Of course, it is safest to place it in Mengshan and hide in the mountains and ridges. Once they are safe, the soldiers in the army can fight with peace of mind. However, tens of thousands of elderly, weak and weak women and children go to Mengshan, and eat and drink whatever they want?

Li Fengyun still has to continue to "suffer". As the leader and the boss, he naturally has to take good care of his relatives and family members of his younger brothers, so Li Fengyun has to take full care of the survival problems of tens of thousands of elderly, weak women and children.

Li Fengyun didn't feel at all at all. He patted his chest and promised that I was the boss, and it was natural to take care of you and your family. As long as they went to Mengshan, I would take care of all the food, drink, defecation, and sleep. If something went wrong, I would ask.

Strangely, the boss patted his chest and promised, but the younger brothers stared at each other, not even dared to answer.

Li Fengyun's "foreplay" was well prepared and performed very vividly, and even won the initial trust of several heroes. However, with the "climax" of this drama, Li Fengyun's true face was exposed. From a normal perspective, it is reasonable to send tens of thousands of elderly, weak and weak women and children to Mengshan, but from another perspective, tens of thousands of people to Mengshan are actually hostages. With Li Fengyun's hostages in his hands, he is still afraid that he can't control various rebels? He is also afraid that he will be afraid that he will not be able to control the various rebels?

The loyal subordinates fought against themselves? What's more serious is that ordinary soldiers from various rebels, the elderly, weak, women and children who went to Mengshan, could not think of these dirty things. They would only thank the Mengshan rebels and Li Fengyun, so the people's hearts were stolen by Li Fengyun. Over time, they only had Li Fengyun in their hearts, but no other heroic coaches. The heroic coaches lost the loyalty and support of their subordinates. What strength do they have? Can they still compete with Li Fengyun and be on par with Li Fengyun?

This trap is so big, but the rich and handsome men are mute and can't say what they have to suffer. Li Fengyun did not invite them to the alliance, and after the alliance, Li Fengyun did not bully them with the weak. On the contrary, Li Fengyun was very enthusiastic and generous to them, and was willing to suffer losses everywhere. He even patted his chest to ensure the safety and life of their relatives, acting like a living Bodhisattva who is kind and generous. From beginning to end, there was no sign of annihilation from beginning to end. But in the end, Li Fengyun ate them without leaving any trace.

This person is too scheming and skillful, so he can't play with him at all.

The four heroes were eager to think of countermeasures, and Xu Shiren was also secretly shocked. He never expected that Li Fengyun would have such a "sense of thought". He ate four rebels while chatting and laughing. Who is this boy?

Li Fengyun disagreed with the hesitation of the four heroes and waved his hand generously, "The decision is up to you. Whether you don't go up the mountain or go up the mountain, it's up to you to choose, and the promises you made before will be fulfilled."

There is such a good thing? The four heroic coaches and Xu Shiren looked at each other in disbelief.
