The rebel army entered Fuli County, Pengcheng County, bordering Linhuan County, Qiao County, and captured a small town called Dingtao. This place is backed by Dingtao Mountain, about a hundred miles away from Fuli County and more than a hundred miles away from Yongcheng. It is both secluded and convenient for advance and retreat.

Li Fengyun ordered to station and distribute wealth. Once the property was released, the people's hearts became stable. Many boatmen who were thinking of escaping and sailors temporarily stopped leaving. Don't they know that this was exactly the plan of the rebel army?

When the people are in a stable manner, the team will be better brought. Li Fengyun ordered the expansion of the army. Anyone who was elected as a rebel soldier could get some money and property, so many people actively joined the army. Some people were unwilling to join the army to rebel, but they would be threatened immediately. Anyway, they were all on the pirate ship, either they were either thieves or thieves. As long as they were caught by the government and the government army, they would raise their hands without any argument. Since that is the case, do you have a way out besides participating in the rebel rebellion? Anyway, you will die sooner or later, so you might as well live a vigorous life before death, and you will not be in vain to go to the world. So you no longer have the idea of ​​resisting and running away, and you will go all the way to the dark.

Li Fengyun personally participated in the selection and recruited more than 400 soldiers.

The rebel army originally had more than 120 people, of which Zhang Xiang brought two Huo brothers back to the mountain. Yesterday, Chen Rui brought one Huo brothers back to the mountain, with nearly 100 people left. Together, the rebel army currently has more than 500 troops, including the transporter, craftsman and sergeant servants, etc., with more than 400 people, with a total of nearly 1,000 people.

Li Fengyun then built the General's Mansion and claimed to be a general. The mansion has built-in Sima, and the two departments of the Lushi and the Bing Cang. The mansion has two regiments and one brigade. It is expanded to the Fengyun Brigade based on the Fengyun Team, and the brigade commander Xu Shisan. It is expanded to the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, the First Regiment, Han Shou, and the Second Regiment, and the Second Regiment. Among the soldiers, those with outstanding talents were selected as the Fengyun Brigade, and the rest were selected as the First and Second Regiment.

After the two regiments and one brigade was formed, the officers sat together to discuss many details such as rectifying military discipline and using war instead of training.

Han Shou was still as quick as ever, "General, someone below calls us Cangtou Army, and call you Cangtou Commander. General Cangtou, I think this is very bad, it is suspected of insulting the reputation of the general and the rebel army."

Li Fengyun laughed. Han Shou seemed reckless, but in fact he had a smooth personality. The soldiers of the rebel army called Li Fengyun a white hair or a gray head in private, and their meanings were different. However, in public, everyone was very careful and dared not shout. Now that the rebel army has expanded and there are too many people, everyone still calls it this way in private, which sounds like bullying and derogatory. If you accidentally hear it, the consequences will be unpredictable. If this title happened to be taboo by Li Fengyun, wouldn't you be in trouble? The people below angered the commander and the commander of the army had to suffer innocently. In order to prevent problems before it happened, Han Shou made a direct statement to test it.

Li Fengyun waved his hand gently, and the clouds were calm and gentle, "If you are kind-hearted, dedicated to the people, and respected by the world, even if the world calls you a fool, then you are respected; on the contrary, you will be a disaster for the country and the people, and you will be a disaster for the world, and you will be a disaster for all evil, even if the world calls you a holy, then you will be a saint of all evil."

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone praised it and there was a sound of cheering.

"Whether Cangtou Army or Cangtou Commander, no matter what the military and civilians call it, it doesn't matter. What matters is what we should do and what we do to win the support of the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. The rebel army comes from grass, ants, common people, and are all poor people. Therefore, if you want to survive and develop, you can only win the support of the common people. Once the rebel army oppresses them like the government, it will be abandoned by them and eventually defeated."

Li Fengyun looked at everyone and said earnestly, "How can we win the support of the common people? The so-called practice of the way for heaven and petition for the people are all false, and there is only one way to accept for the common people. Give them what they need most and satisfy their most basic wishes, that is, give them food and silk cloth, so that they can eat and wear warmth."

Li Fengyun slowly straightened his body and asked solemnly, "Now, do you know what to do? How do you do it?"

"Robbery the rich and help the poor." Han Shou laughed and said proudly. "The general is so literary. There is a big mess in the clouds and mountains. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just to do our old business, attack cities and villages, burn, kill and loot, kill all the nobles, bureaucrats and wealthy people, and rob them all their property, women and slaves. The rebels obtained from the plunder took the big heads, the civilians got small heads, and we chewed the bones, and the soup was given to the civilians. But this soup cannot be consumed in vain, and we should pay some rewards. For example, if there are strong men in the family, then we should join the rebel army. In this way, the rebel army expanded, had stronger strength, and had more seized, wouldn't the civilians get more?"

As soon as Han Shou finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Yue Gao pointed at Han Shou's nose and cursed, "My thief, you are wearing military uniforms and becoming an official, and you are still talking about killing and robbing people all day long. It's hard to change your thief."

Li Fengyun also laughed. Han Shou was still talking thoroughly and simple, and it was impossible to tell that this thief was still a talent.

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?" Li Fengyun asked.

Everyone understood it, was ready to try it out.

Li Fengyun spread the map and drew a circle, "Within a radius of fifty miles, no matter the nobles, bureaucrats and wealthy people, they will be taken down, so that the soldiers can practice their hands to increase morale, increase cohesion and loyalty, and quickly spread the reputation of the Cangtou Rebel Army, and make Fei Huai, who is gritting his teeth at us, lose his mind and cross the border to hunt him down."

Everyone was filled with joy and agreed.

With the confidence of three battles and three victories and the strength of expanding and developing the army, the rebel army began to attack frequently and plunder at the border between Pengcheng County and Qiao County.

Fei Huai was losing his mind little by little while gritting his teeth.

Xia Ting was destroyed, Yongcheng was robbed, and the canal channel was interrupted. These "big" matters were reported to the Dongdu by Qiao County County Government. Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion was unable to suppress the bandits and damaged a group of Yingyang Guards. Fei Huai did not dare to hide it, and he also urgently reported to the Zuo Xiaowei Mansion of Pengcheng. Although the culprit has been roughly found out that it was Han Yao, a Sima of Yingyang Mansion, a local noble who was both black and white in Qiao County, colluded with the bandits of Mangdang Mountain, and worked together inside and outside, and it has been classified as a rebellion, but this did not reduce the guilt of Qiao County County Government and Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion. On the contrary, Fei Huai, as Han Yao's immediate boss, was even more guilty, at least he was responsible for being in prison.

Fei Huai was dead. Anyway, his career was over, and his life was in danger. He was defeated by him and suffered a tragic disaster. He was furious at him and wanted to cut him with one knife. He did not notice Han Yao's rebellion, which is understandable. However, from Xia Ting's request for help, Fei Huai made consecutive mistakes in his judgment and command, which led to Yongcheng being tragically baptized by a rebel. This is an unforgivable crime.

The county magistrate and Yingyang Guards of Qiaocheng Yingyang Mansion rushed to Yongcheng in 100,000, and first scolded Fei Huai. Although Fei Huai had no affiliation with the county magistrate, he did implicate the county magistrate because of improper handling, and felt guilty. Besides, the county magistrate has a tough backing in the upper level of the Dongdu, which made Fei Zhun very afraid and dared not to break up with the county magistrate. He could only suppress his anger and let the county magistrate curse. After the scolding, the county magistrate said that the most urgent task is to clear the waterway. Yingyang Mansion must devote all its strength. In addition, the county magistrate also temporarily levy corvee and convene young and strong civilians, and the military and civilians work together to fight day and night, striving to open the waterway in the shortest time.

As for the suppression of thieves and arresting Han Yao, the county magistrate never mentioned it. In fact, he didn't care about suppressing thieves now. For the emperor and the eastern capital, the plan of the eastern expedition was above everything else, and the canal channel was smoother than everything. As for the few small thieves, they were disdainful. The county magistrate knew a lot about the upper class politics, and of course he knew the priorities of the matter.

Fei Huai's idea was very different from that of the county magistrate. In order to reduce his crimes, the county magistrate wanted to clear the river. Fei Huai wanted to reduce his crimes, but he had to suppress the thieves in the shortest time. Besides, he could not reduce his crimes. In despair, he only had the idea of ​​blood and hatred to take revenge. Before my head was cut off, he must cut off the thief's head to vent his hatred in his heart. If he wanted to take revenge, he must use his power before the Dongdu removed his official position, and use his power to command the power of the three regiments of Yingyangwei, pursue and suppress the thieves, and kill the thieves.

Just then, the scout came to report and found the thief. He was burning, killing and looting in Fuli County, Pengcheng County, dozens of miles away, making Fuli County furious and panic.

Fei Huai made a decisive order to chase him without hesitation.

Wang Yang, the general of Yingjilang, hurriedly stopped him. Wang Yang was also from Guanlong. He was an ordinary official family. He started his career with military merits. He was nearly fifty years old and was only promoted to the fifth-rank Yingjilang General who was from the fifth-rank under the care of his old superiors. According to his normal life trajectory, he had a great hope of being promoted to another level before retiring and returning home. This life was considered complete. However, the disaster came from the sky. The Yingyang Mansion in Xia Ting was responsible for the case. Wang Yang was affected and might be demoted or dismissed. After all, he was the deputy of Yingyang Mansion.

He was responsible for secondary responsibilities. However, misfortunes followed one after another, because Fei Huai's command was wrong and Wang Yang blindly followed the wrong orders, which led to Yongcheng being blood-slaughtered by thieves again. In this way, Wang Yang was not losing his official position. He was most likely to be expelled for the people and even exiled to guard the border. He worked in vain for his whole life. After all, his life was still there and he would not affect his family. Unexpectedly, Fei Huai lost his mind in despair and wanted to cross the border to hunt down the thieves.

The army crossed the border without authorization without authorization from superiors, which was a crime of rebellion. But Fei Huai's words made Wang Yang hesitate.

"This case will also affect General Dong of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion. If we kill the thieves in the shortest time, it will be very beneficial to General Dong. Do you think General Dong will pursue our crime of crossing the border to suppress the thieves? It is unforgivable. Whether to kill the thieves is irrelevant, but General Wang Lang is different. If General Wang Lang can suppress the thieves in time and take the credit, this contribution may help you avoid prison."

Wang Yang was moved and stopped stopping him. He discussed with Fei Zhun the plan to suppress the thieves.

That night, the two led the third regiment of Yingyang Guards into Fuli County, Pengcheng County.
