He went north to find Wang Bo's secret envoy and returned with the secret envoy. A close subordinate of Wang Bo's confidant, who brought Li Fengyun a detailed message.

Li Fengyun hopes to use Wang Bo's help to destroy the four-sided encirclement of Mengshan by the official army, while Wang Bo is eager to return to Qilu. After all, his foundation is in Qilu. Now Qilu Yiqi is everywhere. With his reputation in the Qilu Yi army, even if he cannot surround Qilu, he is still more than enough to be a hero who dominates the country. This is much better than living under the roof of Hebei to live in a difficult situation.

The rebel leaders such as Meng Rang in the northeastern Shandong were overwhelmed by Zhang Xutuo and wanted to form an alliance. However, one was a "big flag" figure who lacked the respected morality and leadership. The other was Zhang Xutuo's attacks sharply and advanced step by step, oppressing them so much that they could not breathe and did not give them time and space to unite. Therefore, although Wang Bo was eager to return to Qilu, and Meng Rang and other rebel leaders of the rebel leaders of Wang Bo also wanted Wang Bo to come back very much, but because of the lack of strength, both sides could not achieve their wishes and could not do anything.

At this time, Li Fengyun appeared in front of them like timely rain.

The Rebel Alliance he founded was undoubtedly a successful example for Wang Bo, Meng Rang and others. Although the Rebel Army is still in a difficult survival stage in terms of the current climate of Middle-earth, Li Fengyun was able to develop and grow in a short period of time with the Rebel Alliance, which is a miracle in itself.

However, now the Eastern Expedition has been temporarily over, the Holy Lord has returned to Dongdu, and the tide of suppression of rebellion is about to start in the north and south of Dahe. The rebel army in both places has a premonition of the coming of the crisis. Li Fengyun's "sense of smell" was extremely keen. He was the first to start planning anti-encirclement and suppression planning and actively deployed. The primary goal of the layout was to unite all forces that could be united. The various heroic commanders of the Qilu Rebel Army immediately became Li Fengyun's goal.

Wang Bo admired Li Fengyun's talent and admired Li Fengyun's layout. While enviing Li Fengyun's outstanding achievements, he also faintly felt a little jealous and unwilling, and at the same time he was a little afraid, worried that he would be used by Li Fengyun. His messenger raised some doubts to Li Fengyun, and this question actually represented Wang Bo's complex psychology. Li Fengyun could understand and think from the perspective of others. If he was in Wang Bo's position, he would also be worried that he would be used by powerful people and swallowed up, and eventually he had nothing.

Li Fengyun sincerely hoped that Wang Bo would return to Qilu and return to Qilu as soon as possible. Only in this way can the various rebels in northeastern Shandong join forces and form a joint force, and can firmly drag the main military forces in the Qilu area such as Zhang Xutuo, Zhou Fashang and other rebels in the northeastern Shandong. In this way, Li Fengyun and the rebel alliance in southwestern Shandong break through the siege of the official army, avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, win the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression in winter this year, and persist until the second eastern expedition begins, and survive the survival crisis as you wish.

It is related to the survival of the alliance, so Li Fengyun showed his greatest sincerity and honestly analyzed and deduced the situation in the future for a period of time, especially this winter, in Qilu and even the Central Plains, Xuzhou and other related regions. Based on this deduction, the alliance made the decision to go south to Xuzhou.

The alliance went south to Xuzhou and would inevitably contain all the officials and troops to suppress the rebellion in southwestern Shandong, Xuzhou and the Central Plains. In this way, the pressure on the battlefield of Meng Rang and other heroes on the battlefield of northeast Shandong was greatly reduced, allowing them to deal with Zhang Xutuo calmly and restrain Zhang Xutuo. As long as the situation of suppressing rebellion in northeast Shandong did not fall into a deterioration, Zhou Fa would not easily dispatch the navy to enter the battlefield of suppression of rebellion. After all, the second Eastern Expedition was the top priority for him.

In this situation, Wang Bo already had the conditions to cross the river and move south, but the key to the problem is that Wang Bo is not strong enough. Even if he crosses the river and returns to Qilu, he cannot change the strength comparison between the rebels and the official army on the battlefield in the northeastern Shandong. In other words, with Wang Bo's existing strength, even if he returns to Qilu, withstands the attack of the official army and regain his foothold in the Changbai Mountain area, he cannot gain an absolute advantage, because only by cooperating with strength can one form authority, and only by authority can the various rebels in northeastern Shandong be integrated into an alliance. Wang Bo does not lack prestige and reputation, but strength.

How to make Wang Bo's strength soar in the shortest time? There is only one way to win a battle. When Wang Bo was defeated by Zhang Xutuo and kicked out of Qilu by Zhang Xutuo, this time he would get up from wherever he fell. As long as he defeated Zhang Xutuo and gave Zhang Xutuo a heavy blow, he would definitely be able to rebuild his authority, and his strength would inevitably soar to a new height overnight.

How could Wang Bo defeat Zhang Xutuo? Only with the help of external forces, Li Fengyun was one of them, but Li Fengyun was far away in southwest Shandong and could not quench his thirst, so Wang Bo turned his attention to the Hebei rebel army and tried to use the power of the Hebei rebel army to cross Henan and defeat Zhang Xutuo, and sweep across northeast Shandong.

The heroes have similar views, and Li Fengyun also thought so. He thought further. He believed that after Wang Bo defeated Zhang Xutuo, he could not only establish the Northeast Rebel Alliance of Rebel Alliance, but also implement a north-south attack with his south-west Rebel Alliance to control the Qilu region to the greatest extent. Once the Qilu region is controlled by the rebel army and becomes the base of the rebel army, the benefits to the Hebei rebel army are self-evident. The two sides join forces to attack and defend, which can be said to be worry-free when advancing and retreating. What reason does Hebei people refuse such a benefit?

However, do people in Hebei think so? In Wang Bo's opinion, this plan is a pity for wishful thinking. The head is hot and the hope of success is very slim. Li Fengyun determined that the people in Hebei would definitely help. The reason is very simple. Li Baiyao has made a promise. With Li Baiyao's "good fortune", people in Hebei will definitely support Wang Bo, and Wang Bo will definitely cross Henan and go south. But what Li Fengyun is worried is that Zhang Xutuo and Qi army are too strong, and the rebel coalition forces in the north and south of Henan may not be able to beat Zhang Xutuo. Once the rebel coalition forces are defeated and Zhang Xutuo wins, Li Fengyun's plan will all fail, and the Qilu and even the Hebei rebels will suffer severe setbacks in this battle.

Li Fengyun's explanation, analysis and inference were actually answering Wang Bo's many doubts one by one. Wang Bo's messenger was eventually convinced by Li Fengyun, and he had a full understanding and great confidence in this strategy.

"In the eyes of the general, when is it most appropriate to cross the river to the south?"

"The faster the better." Li Fengyun replied, "After the river is frozen, the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare. You can cross the river and enter the battlefield of Qilu at any time. At that time, the main forces of the suppression of the rebellion such as King Yang Nan of Qi, Duan Wencao of Lujun, Liang Dezhong of Pengcheng and other main forces were dragged on the battlefield of Xuzhou by someone. Zhang Xutuo was isolated and helpless, which was the best time to defeat him."

"Did the general forget the Donglai Navy? Zhou Fashang is Zhang Xutuo's powerful support."

"The Eastern Expedition was defeated, and all the commanders of the Expeditionary Force were responsible. The navy came to Hu'er and Zhou Fashang to blame." Li Fengyun replied, "After the Holy Lord returned to the capital, the top priority was to start a large-scale killing of the Twelve Guards. However, the second Eastern Expedition was imminent. The Holy Lord needed the absolute support of the Guards. Therefore, the storm must have been loud thunder and small raindrops. The board for beating people was raised high but gently put down. However, before the storm did not stop and the dust settled, the tension in the situation in the Eastern Capital can be imagined. The Guards must be panic and chaotic. Let me ask, at that moment, will Hu'er and Zhou Fashang still have the intention to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves?"

"Just wait for the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to decide to launch the second Eastern Expedition. It can be foreseen that before the Expeditionary Force crosses the Liaoshui River in April, the Holy Lord will definitely end this storm in order to stabilize the Wei Mansion and the morale of the army in the shortest time. In other words, the raindrops are getting smaller, the boards should be gently put down, the people who should be released from the prison should be released, and the generals who should go to the front line to lead the army will also rush to the Liaodong battlefield."

"Once the storm ends in the Eastern Capital, Zhou Fashang is still the commander of the navy and in charge of Qilu's garrison, then Zhou Fashang will definitely give Zhang Xutuo strong support, so the earlier you pass the river, the better." Li Fengyun looked at Wang Bo's messenger and gradually increased his tone, "Please tell General Wang when you go back, you must not delay the time for crossing the river to the south until early spring next year, and not until February or even March next year after the river is unblocked. At that time, going south to attack Qilu is purely a death sentence, because Zhou Fashang's naval warship can enter the inland waterway and support Zhang Xutuo in the shortest time, and you can complete the siege at the fastest speed. You will definitely fail in the end."

The messenger looked heavy and obviously lacked confidence.

Li Fengyun also knew that this matter was too difficult. Even if the wealthy families in Hebei were secretly "supporting the fire", all the heroes in Hebei had their own interests. If they helped Wang Bodu to fight south of Qilu, there would be no profit, or even lost money to gain publicity, they certainly had no "motivation" and of course they would have been slow.

"The alliance went south to Xuzhou, with strong enemies around him, and the war was difficult, and there was no confidence in winning." Li Fengyun continued, "I just analyzed that in the battle of Xuzhou, the government army had heavy pressure from the Eastern Capital, so I would not dare to do it perfunctorily. Therefore, I would not persist in Xuzhou for too long, and at most until the end of the year. Once the situation is too bad, I would have to retreat to Mengshan. In this way, it would be difficult to restrain the main forces of Qi King Yang Nan and other anti-rebellious forces. Especially in the early spring of next year, the alliance army would definitely be trapped in Mengshan. If you cannot go south to fight, you cannot help me restrain Zhou Fashang and Zhang Xutuo on the battlefield in northeast Shandong, and let their troops join the battlefield in southwestern Shandong to siege Mengshan, I would be in danger of destruction."

The messenger nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely bring these words to Wang Bo.

"What are the general's predictions about the situation of Hebei's suppression of the rebellion?"

Li Fengyun's identity has always been mysterious, but as his strength grows, the many secrets hidden behind him gradually reveal some clues. For example, in Li Fengyun's layout, there are wealthy families, which cannot help but give people infinite associations. Therefore, this messenger is also determined to test to see if he can find more secrets from Li Fengyun.

In order to increase Wang Bo's confidence, Li Fengyun revealed an important secret without hesitation. "It is rumored that the person who suppressed the rebellion in Hebei was Duan Da, the general of Zuoyiwei. Considering that the safety of Yongji Canal was crucial for the Second Eastern Expedition, Duan Da's main goal of suppressing the rebellion was on the front line of Yongji Canal. Zhang Jin of Qinghe said that Zhang Jinshu brothers, Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan, Liu Heita, Gao Shida of Gaojibo, Dou Jiande of Douzigang, Liu Badao of Douzigang, Sun Xuanya and other heroes were all targets of the killing."

"Although the situation of suppressing the rebellion is very tense, according to some deduction, because the Guanlong people and Shandong people have inherent conflicts, Duan Da's first goal must be the Qinghe Rebel Army. He took this opportunity to attack the local forces on the Yongjiqu line led by the Cui family in Qinghe. However, without the support of the Hebei people, Duan Da must be blocked everywhere in the battlefield of suppressing the rebellion and was frightened every step."

"However, in this way, the Hebei rebel army became a thorn in the eyes of the government. Dongdu is very likely to increase troops to support Duan Da. For the sake of their own safety, the people of Hebei must divert the attention of Dongdu. The best way is to cross Henan and attack Qilu. This will not only cause disaster to the east, but also help Wang Bo and other heroes of Qilu. Why not do it in one fell swoop?"
