Chapter 39 Planning
That night, Li Fengyun summoned the rebel officers to discuss the matter. In fact, there were only seven people, including the brigade coach Li Fengyun, the recorder Mr. Chen San, the Fengyun team leader Xu Shisan, the left team leader Han Shou, the team deputy Yue Gao, the right team leader Lu Mingxing, and the team deputy Guo Ming.
A topographic map of Liang County and its surrounding counties was laid on the table. From this map, we can also see how great the expectations the Korean Prime Minister had for this rebellion team. He always regarded the thieves in Mangdang Mountain as victims and had no idea of letting them survive.
"The Prime Minister of Korea sent someone to urge us to go down the mountain today." Li Fengyun got straight to the point and went straight to the point, "Why did the Prime Minister of Korea build this team in Mangdang Mountain? What did this team do after going down the mountain? There are many inside stories behind this. Today, I will tell you in detail."
Li Fengyun then told the story without hiding it at all.
Mr. Chen San wanted to stop it, but hesitated for a long time but gave up. In fact, Li Fengyun said that it was right. Since the goal was to create a series of crises on both sides of the Tongji Canal, rather than those heavy troops, why not just set off a shocking storm? The reason why the Korean Prime Minister's plan was full of loopholes and left many unsolvable problems was that the Korean Prime Minister always put his own interests first, did not have the courage to move forward and sacrifice himself to death, and the result was that Li Fengyun had no scruples, so he tried to use the Mangdang Mountain Rebel Army to fully control the development of the situation, and transformed from a small character who was "sacrificed" to a tough protagonist who bravely set off a shocking storm.
As long as you can achieve the final goal, you can use any means. Anyway, different paths will lead to the same goal, so why can't you try it?
Not only was Lu Mingxing "sacrificed" but also "deceived". When Han Prime Minister looked for him, he made many promises, but when Li Fengyun revealed the inside story of the matter, Lu Mingxing couldn't help but feel angry. Yes, I owe you favors and your life. I should repay you unconditionally, but you shouldn't deceive me.
Han Shou, Yue Gao, and Guo Ming were very shocked. They thought that the reason why the Korean Prime Minister put in such great strength this time and even formed an army, but if they wanted to do a "big deal" on Tongji Canal, they would not have thought that there was such a shocking inside story. Rebellion? What they didn't dare to think about is that even if they had an army now, a small army of more than 100 people was not enough for Yingyang Mansion to eat in one bite, so how dare they rebel?
Xu Shisan seemed excited and excited. Like Li Fengyun, he was full of infinite passion for rebellion. However, Li Fengyun was ambitious and had a lofty ambitions, while he was purely for revenge. As for what kind of hatred it was, he didn't say it, and others didn't want to ask, so as not to expose people's scars and hurt people.
After Li Fengyun finished telling the inside story, he paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to "digest and absorb" to stabilize his emotions. Then he took out the strategies of the Korean Prime Minister and explained the pros and cons in detail. Of course, the "pros and cons" were taken over by the Korean Prime Minister, while the "disadvantages" were borne by the rebel army.
Being deceived and being treated as a victim, Lu Mingxing and others who were already in the dark were furious. Now that he heard that the Korean Prime Minister's plan was not good for him, he basically killed the rebels. Of course, everyone became more and more angry and almost negated them in unison.
Mr. Chen San had to admire Li Fengyun's methods. This person was eloquent and won the trust of Lu Mingxing and others in just a few words. It can be foreseeable that if he had won a few more battles after going down the mountain, this rebel army would definitely be Li Fengyun's possession.
"I am a serious prisoner, a death row prisoner." Li Fengyun pointed to Mr. Chen San, "You are also a serious prisoner who is on the run, just like me." Then he pointed at Lu Mingxing and others in turn, "You have been a thief for many years and have been so guilty. If you catch them, you will die."
"I am now surviving, living for one day is one day, and maybe my head will fall to the ground tomorrow, so for us, escaping is a dead end, and the only way to live is rebellion. If the rebellion fails, but the head falls to the ground, but if the rebellion succeeds, I can be granted the title of marquis and prime ministers and become kings and dominance."
Li Fengyun waved his hand heroically and laughed loudly, "Before the unification of China and Earth, Shandong Qi State, Jiangzuo Chen State and Guanlong Zhou State, the three-legged teams of the country were in power. Qi State was built by Gao Huan, Gao Huan was a rebel. He participated in the Six Towns Uprising and later became king and domineering. Zhou State was built by Yuwen Tai, who was also from Six Towns, and also participated in the Six Towns Uprising and later became king and domineering. Chen State was built by Chen Baxian, who was a noble general. He created the rebellion of the emperor, usurped the country's destiny, and established himself.
As the emperor. Look at the farther dynasty, do you know that Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, did he know? He started his business by rebelling. Later, he succeeded in rebelling. Not only did he overthrow the Qin Dynasty, but he also established the Han Kingdom. So there is a way out for rebelling. Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Who dares to say that our rebellion will not be successful? This is Mangdang Mountain, the place where Liu Bang started his rebellion, the place where Long Qian was born, and a blessed land. Since Liu Bang, who was so innocent at the time, was able to successfully rebel in Mangdang Mountain, why can't we?"
This is a good thing, and it just hits the key point of the thief. Anyway, it’s all death. Shrinking your head is a knife, and stretching your head is a knife. Why bother raising your head? It’s better to roll up your sleeves and do something big.
After boosting morale, Li Fengyun explained his strategy in detail, using Mangdang Mountain as the base to develop and strengthen the Rebel Army. This strategy immediately won unanimous approval from everyone. The Rebel Army wants to survive, develop, survive, and control its own destiny. As for the Prime Minister of Han, let him go to hell.
To survive, the rebel army first requires money, grain and weapons. The money, grain and weapons can only be robbed, and they can only be robbed from the government, nobles and powerful people. There is no other way. Taking over the nobles and powerful people will inevitably lead to fierce conflicts with local forces, which is not conducive to the survival and development of the rebel army in Mangdang Mountain, so there is only one goal left in the end, Tongji Canal. The emperor has issued an edict to fight eastward, and war materials from all over the Yangtze River and Jiangnan are being transported from the Grand Canal day and night to Zhuojun, where the headquarters of the eastward expedition camp is located. Tongji Canal is a section of the Grand Canal, and it is in its busiest period at this moment. If the rebel army can plunder a large amount of materials from the Tongji Canal, it will surely grow rapidly.
Li Fengyun's first target of attack was Tongji Canal. The Rebel Army had 125 soldiers, and this strength was enough to do a "big deal" on Tongji Canal.
In the first battle of the rebel army, it must fight beautifully. It must not only start a shot, have a significant impact on both sides of the Tongji Canal, but also use victory to boost morale, so that it can continue to fight.
Li Fengyun chose Xia Ting as the first battlefield for the rebel army.
Xiating belongs to Qiao County, located at the junction of Liang County and Qiao County on Tongji Canal. Whether ships traveling south and north, whether they leave Qiao County or enter Qiao County, they have to leave a record and pay tolls, so there are many ships waiting to pass through, which is very convenient for robbery. However, Xiating has guards stationed in Yingyang Mansion, which is only more than 70 miles away from Yongcheng and only more than 100 miles away from Songcheng, the capital of Liang County. Once there is any disturbance in Xiating, Yingyang Mansion stationed in the two cities will soon be able to support it. Therefore, the thieves never dare to rob ships in Xiating, for fear of avoiding it.
Xiating is about seventy miles away from Dangshan, and Dangshan is only seventy miles away from Yongcheng. Therefore, the rebels must attack Xiating cleanly and neatly, hit it with one strike, and leave immediately. Do not waste time in Xiating to avoid being attacked by the Yingyang Mansion army that came from Yongcheng. For this reason, Li Fengyun asked all teams to send scouts to Xiating to investigate military information and strive to obtain accurate information so that the rebels can seal the throat with one sword without their opponents being prepared.
Li Fengyun's plan is practical and bold, but it is also full of danger. Once the rebel army attacks Xia Ting and is blocked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mr. Chen San, Lu Mingxing and others were all silent.
In the past, when people were thieves, stealing, robbing houses, killing people and robbing people, they did shameful things. Although there were also casualties, they were "small business" after all. After all, they were "small business". If they did too much, they would naturally be full of confidence. Now it is different. Establishing an army to raise the flag to rebel, doing a great cause of success and defeat of the king. They wanted to attack cities and villages, kill people, and blood flowed into rivers. From then on, they did not hide from the official army, but started a war with the official army face to face. However, the two sides had a huge difference in strength, just like a battle between ant and a tiger, it was just a slap. It is not difficult to imagine the fear in the hearts of these little thieves.
Li Fengyun had no choice but to face the fear of his subordinates. This fear was based on the strong national strength brought about by the vigorous development of the new dynasty after the unification of Middle-earth China and the impressive record of the dynasty's military's attacks, invincible and invincible over the past 30 years. No argument can eliminate or weaken this fear. The only feasible way is to use one victory after another to establish confidence and firm belief. When the mountains and rivers change color and darkness cover Middle-earth, this sense of fear will disappear, and replaced by the ambition to dominate Middle-earth.
In order to win the first battle, Li Fengyun once again bulged his tongue, analyzed the pros and cons of the enemy in detail, and deduced the various variables that may appear in the battle and how to deal with it, trying to make his subordinates believe that this is a battle that can be won easily, and all it requires is sufficient preparation and strong self-confidence.
In the end, Mr. Chen San and six other rebel leaders accepted Li Fengyun's plan to attack Xia Ting. Since they were going to raise the flag to rebel, this battle must be fought, and they will fight wherever they are fought. But in comparison, instead of following the orders of the Prime Minister of Han to attack Dangshan County, it is better to follow Li Fengyun's plan to attack Xia Ting. One is the county town, on the plain and the other is the border gate. On the Grand Canal, there is no need to describe the difference between the difficulty and the impact caused by the two attacks.
Since you decide to fight, you must do your best if you should do your best, and you must do your best if you should do your best if you should do your best.
Mr. Chen San, Lu Mingxing and others are very familiar with Xia Ting. After all, it is a small distribution center for ships from south to north. There are many ships, many boatmen and sailors, and the message is fast, making it easy to obtain some "secrets" that are very important to the thieves. Therefore, they have hidden stakes and secret lines in Xia Ting, and can find first-hand military information at any time.
The intelligence problem is easy to solve, but the problem of crossing the Suishui River will be great.
From Dangshan to Xiating, there is a Suishui River between the middle. The Suishui River is also a big river heading north and south. The section of Tongji Canal in Liangjun is located in the upper reaches of the Suishui River, and its downstream runs southeast from Songcheng to Sishui, and finally merges into the Huaishui River. Therefore, even with the Grand Canal, the Sishui and Suishui are still important waterways connecting the Central Plains and the Jiangnan. Since it is an important waterway, there must be a constant stream of ships passing by, especially when the emperor was mobilizing the national forces to carry out the eastern expedition, because the Grand Canal was full of ships, there were naturally more ships transporting materials on its sub-channels.
More than a hundred fully armed rebel soldiers crossed the Suishui River. The goal was too big. In order to ensure confidentiality, save time and physical strength, and facilitate rapid evacuation, and to ensure the rapid transfer of spoils, they must get help from ships. In Li Fengyun's opinion, if Han Xiangguo had the help of this matter, it would be very simple. Now it is up to him. But to his surprise, what he thought was difficult was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Mr. Chen San, Lu Mingxing and others. Isn't it just a boat? How much do you want? Without a boat, then hijack the ship. The rebels lacked everything here, but there was no shortage of sailors who killed and robbed people.
The ship's problem was solved, and the next thing was to carry the spoils. This required the recruitment of Zhang Feizhai and all the men and women nearby who could carry the shoulders and backs to come out to the mountain to run. This matter could only rely on Mr. Chen San's appeal in Mangdang Mountain.
The last thing to consider is that Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion is coming quickly and chasing him fiercely. How can the rebel army stop it? It takes time for the rebel army to attack Xia Ting, and it takes time for the return of Mangdang Mountain with a large amount of spoils. There may be some unpredictable variables. If this causes the rebel army to fail to evacuate within the scheduled time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After a night of discussion, a detailed attack strategy was finally drafted, and the next step was to perform their duties and perform their responsibilities.
