Chapter one hundred and forty-six
Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan all came, forcing Xu Shiren to express his opinion, should he continue to be brothers or become enemies?
Xu Shiren had to ask, "Why do you think you can defeat Duan Wencao?"
From the current situation, even if Zhang Xutuo returned to Qi County, with the strength of Duan Wencao and the Lu army, and the advantages currently occupied by Duan Wencao, the rebel army could not defeat Duan Wencao at all. Take a step back, even if the rebel army defeated Duan Wencao and successfully broke through, the rebel army could not survive the crisis because it was unable to plunder enough food. Everyone was unable to eat enough, and they would inevitably be disintegrated and eventually collapsed and inevitably headed for defeat. Since we knew that the future would inevitably lead to defeat, why do we still have to go all the way to the dark? Why can't we take advantage of this rare opportunity now, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, lead the army to join Duan Wencao, and find a way out for ourselves and our brothers?
Han Jinluo smiled slightly and said calmly, "As long as you stand on our side, we will have a way to defeat Duan Wencao, and have a way to occupy Ningyang City and move all the food in the city."
Xu Shiren didn't believe it at all, "Don't expect the white-haired coach. He has withdrawn from Mengshan. It is estimated that Meng Haigong and Han Yao are also evacuating. You are isolated and helpless. After a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos. If the morale of the army is in chaos, the city will not be able to defend. This is obvious."
"The white-haired handsome man retreated to Mengshan?" Han Jinluo looked at everyone, looked at Xu Shiren and asked, "Where does this news come from? Did Duan Wencao tell you?"
Xu Shiren nodded, "Eunuch Duan has great sincerity towards you, there is no need to deceive you."
"Of course he will deceive us." Zhen Baoche sneered, "Once we hand over the army, it will be like being bound and slaughtered by others. If he wants to kill us, he will kill us. We have no power to fight back at all. You don't understand such a simple truth? For us, we would rather believe in the handsome white hair than Duan Wencao."
Xu Shiren knew that there was no possibility of persuasion, but he didn't want to be buried with others in a confused manner. So after weighing the pros and cons, he said, "You want to use someone to defeat Duan Wencao, but have you ever thought that Duan Wencao would easily believe someone? Even if Duan Wencao believes someone, how could he trust you easily? We are calculating him here, maybe he is thinking about how to calculate us outside the city now."
"Your purpose cannot be to find our attack strategy." Han Jinluo unceremoniously exposed Xu Shiren's true thoughts, "I will tell you clearly that unless you help us defeat Duan Wencao and break completely with Duan Wencao, we will not believe you, let alone tell you the attack strategy."
Xu Shiren shook his head, feeling very dissatisfied. In his opinion, Han Jinluo and others had no possibility of breaking through.
"I can help you, but the situation is here. If we deliberately open a city gate, put Duan Wencao's army in, close the door and fight dogs, and compare the strength of both sides, it is purely a talk on paper and deceive ourselves. I can be sure that Duan Wencao will definitely take all precautions. As soon as the city gate is opened, the city will be lost. I think that the only feasible way is to attack inside and outside, we block the official army in the city, and the ambushing army outside the city took advantage of Duan Wencao's army to attack the city, and suddenly came from his back
Later, he launched a sneak attack and caught him off guard, but who was ambushing outside the city? Is the white-haired handsome? Well, even if the white-haired handsome did not withdraw back to Mengshan, even if you and the white-haired handsome always maintained close contact, and the two sides agreed on the attack time, but on this big plain, there was no possibility of hiding traces. If there was any slight disturbance, Duan Wencao would know that by then the first person he wanted to fight was the white-haired handsome, and this was the purpose of his failure to attack outside Ningyang City, which just fulfilled his wish."
Han Jinluo and four other heroes looked at each other. Knowing that Xu Shiren was not giving up, they still tried every means to find their attack strategies, but they had no trust between them anymore, and they would never reveal the attack strategies designed by the White-haired Coach.
Han Jinluo shook his hand at Xu Shiren, "You just need to do your business well. Take a step back and say that even if we fail, you will not be buried with us. Duan Wencao needs the support of the Xu family in Rencheng, and you risked your life to help Duan Wencao. How could he kill you?"
Speaking of this, Xu Shiren was just trying to save these people. Although he was determined to save these people, he did not plan to do anything. One side hoped that the Qi people would abandon their past grudges and hugged each other, but the other side insisted on fighting against each other and killing each other, and blood flowed into a river, and both jade and stones were burned. Xu Shiren sighed in secret and asked, "What do you need to do?"
Han Jinluo smiled slightly and said calmly, "Tell Duan Wencao that the news that you have already withdrawn the white-haired thief to Mengshan in the city has spread quietly. Now the morale in the city is sluggish and the army is shaken. We are very desperate and have the idea of surrender. You are convinced that when the time is right, you can surrender. In this way, Duan Wencao took down Ningyang City without any effort, wiped out the rebels, and obtained thousands of troops. In a blink of an eye, the crisis in Lu County can be reversed."
Xu Shiren became increasingly confused. With his analysis and judgment of the situation, he really couldn't find a way to get out of the predicament, especially after the white-haired thief Li Fengyun evacuated Lu County, the only hope of survival of the four heroic coaches was shattered. At this time, the false surrender of Duan Wencao was nothing more than to delay Duan Wencao's siege. However, Duan Wencao already knew that the white-haired thief went to attack Langya County, so how could the four heroic coaches' delay plan work?
Xu Shiren hesitated for a long time and wanted to make efforts to persuade him. Shuai Rentai saw through his thoughts at a glance and waved his hand, "You and I have been together for many years. I know that you are kind and kind, and you are chivalrous. I also believe that your purpose is to save the innocent, not to help Duan Wencao kill us. But you have your way of saving, we have our strategy to survive, and who is right and who is wrong, we have our own facts to prove it. You and I don't need to argue now. What you have to do now is to keep in close contact with Duan Wencao according to our requirements."
Xu Shiren sighed secretly, and immediately gave up the idea of persuasion and wrote a secret letter to Duan Wencao in front of the four heroes.
Duan Wencao was in a good mood after receiving this secret letter. He defeated others without fighting, which not only preserved his own strength and achieved the purpose of attack, but of course he was very happy.
The current situation is very beneficial to the official army. The main force of the bandit army Cangtou Army has withdrawn from Mengshan. Currently, there are very few bandit soldiers left on the Wenshui line and are vulnerable. Although Xiao She was surrounded by bandit army in Zoucheng and Pingyang line on the southern battlefield, she was in danger and dragged down a considerable number of bandit army forces. As for the bandit generals Meng Haigong and Han Yao who were attacking Rencheng, they were just bluffing, and there was no substantial threat to Xiaqiu or the official army under Ningyang City. The key to the battle situation is Ningyang City. As long as the official army takes Ningyang City and wipes out the bandit army in the city, they can sweep across the north and south lines, and the blockers are invincible, and the entire territory of Lu County can be stabilized in a short time.
Considering that most of the rebels in the city knew nothing about the development of the battle situation and were lucky enough to resist stubbornly, Duan Wencao decided to shoot a large number of books in the city to spread unfavorable news to shake the morale of the army. At the same time, he made a siege and put heavy pressure on the thief leaders such as Han Jinluo, forcing them to surrender as soon as possible.

Just as Duan Wencao commanded the army to besiege Ningyang City, the battlefield in Rencheng was in a deadlock.
Under the tenacious persistence of the official army in the city, the rebel army's attack was blocked. In order to preserve its strength, Meng Haigong stopped the attack, but Han Yao was alone and had to withdraw from the battle. In addition, the white-haired coach Li Fengyun and Cangtou Army were not moving on the northern line for a long time, resulting in the pessimism within the rebel army spreading rapidly, and the situation was very serious.
Meng Haigong once again developed the intention to retreat, but this time he didn't want to leave without saying goodbye. At this point, he fulfilled his promise and fulfilled the covenant. He could tell Han Yao with confidence that I had done my best and wanted to withdraw. There was no way. With this little strength, I would die in vain if I continued to fight. Such a pair of conveniences can continue to maintain a good relationship and not become enemies. If the Jiyin Rebel Army is in trouble in the future, he can still ask Mengshan for help, and if he had no choice, he can take refuge in Mengshan.
Meng Hai Gong rushed to Han Yao's army with a horse. Han Yao's military camp was anchored by the Bingshui River and the Jinkou. When Meng Hai Gong arrived at the gate, Han Yao had already met him, but he was not the one who walked in front, but Li Fengyun with white hair floating away.
Li Fengyun, with white hair and silver armor, was very eye-catching. Standing among the guards in yellow military uniforms, he stood out like a crane, giving people a strong visual impact. Although Meng Haigong had never seen Li Fengyun, he still recognized it at a glance, not only because of the unique white hair, but more importantly, the extraordinary and domineering aura. This domineering aura is very strong, and people can even deeply feel the bloody killing contained in it while shocking.
Meng Haigong was extremely surprised and felt suffocating in an instant. Wasn't he in Gangcheng? Why did he suddenly arrive in Rencheng? Suddenly, a flash of light in his mind, and he immediately understood Li Fengyun's intention. Li Fengyun was seriously short of food, but in a hurry, he couldn't take Ningyang. In desperation, he had to try every means to deceive Duan Wencao and use Ningyang City to drag the main force of the Lu army. Then he quietly led the Cangtou army to Rencheng and gathered all his strength to attack Rencheng. As long as he took Rencheng and alleviated the food crisis, the situation would be beneficial to the rebel army. What a hiding the world.
Meng Haigong flew off his horse, strode toward Li Fengyun, and then clasped his fists as a polite manner, "I don't know if the general came to Rencheng, he would be in a misfortune, offend, and offend."
Li Fengyun was also very polite, and greeted him while giving him a greeting. Han Yao stood aside and smiled without saying a word. Meng Haigong stepped forward and grabbed Han Yao's arm, pretending to be dissatisfied and shouted, "You have kept such a big deal tightly, why? Do you distrust someone?"
Han Yao remained silent and smiled slightly, "I said that as long as I persist, there will always be surprises."
Han Yao's words contain puns, and those who are interested will naturally hear the sarcasm. Meng Haigong laughed and turned a deaf ear. He turned around and looked at Li Fengyun, and said with great enthusiasm, "The general comes, Rencheng will surely be able to go down in one go."
Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "Brothers are united, and their strength is to cut off gold. How can the small Rencheng stop our rebel army from advancing?"
