The rebel army rested in Dingtao for three days, completed the expansion of the army, and also attacked a group of local tyrants.

The soldiers were full of morale and physical strength, and even had the confidence to fight Yingyangwei. However, after receiving the news that Fei Huai led his army to pursue him in Fuli County, Li Fengyun ordered the entire army to retreat north overnight and headed towards Xiao County without hesitation.

Fei Huai pounced on the sky, became more and more annoyed, and pursued him with his own pride.

Wang Yang was quite worried because the thief was too cunning. According to the instructions of several small local tyrants who had luckily escaped from the killing of the rebels in Dingtao, the thief called themselves Cangtou Army and called their leader White-haired or Cangtou Army. White-haired? Cangtou? Who is this thief? It is said that the thief's head is not a thief named Chen San? When did a white-haired and Cangtou appear again? Could it be Han Yao? No matter how you guess one thing is certain, Yingyang Mansion basically knows nothing about the situation of the thief.

Wang Yang warned Fei Huai that he did not understand the traitor and had his eyes darkened. If he continued to be passive and let the traitor run with his nose, he would be very likely to be hit again. In addition, according to the scattered information collected by the scouts in the Dingtao area, the traitors were not a group of scattered soldiers, but a large-scale structure, with at least several hundred people. In addition, the boatman, sailor, and servant who were carried away from Xiating and Yongcheng, roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of traitors. And these people

Whether it is a bandit, a boatman, a sailor, a strong man, they are all people who rely on their strength to make a living. If they are given a knife, those soldiers who are negligent in training on weekdays may not be their opponents. The two hundred soldiers who have died tragically actually prove the combat ability of Yingyangwei and the cruelty of the traitor. Therefore, Wang Yang suggested that the thief must be pursued and suppressed, but it is better to be cautious and be careful. Don't be bitten by the dog if you can't beat the dog, then it will be worth the loss and you will be in tears.

Fei Huai calmed down a little. Wang Yang was older than him, had been in the army for decades, had a lot of military achievements, and had more experience in fighting than him. At this critical moment, it was difficult to keep a clear mind, so Fei Huai asked, "What plan should I do?"

Wang Yang made two suggestions, first, pursued the enemy at the right end, but kept a distance, and continued to threaten the gangsters, forcing them to make mistakes, and then turned passive to active, and secondly, asked General Dong Chun, the Zuoxiao Guard Mansion of Pengcheng. Pengcheng was very close to this place, and General Dong should also know the major changes in Qiao County, and this change had an impact on him. He must be eager to suppress the gangsters and arrest the culprits to stabilize the situation in the town's garrison. Therefore, asking for help from him will be able to get a response. Once the reinforcements of Pengcheng arrive, the two sides will work together to kill the gangsters.

Fei Huai adopted Wang Yang's strategy. Although Dong Chun would definitely scold them in anger, his life may be in danger now, so he can't care about his face? If Dong Chun wants to scold him, he will scold him. As long as he sends reinforcements, he will have hope of killing the thief.

Fei Huaisui urgently reported to Zuo Xiaowei's Mansion for help, while following the rebels from afar and chasing them reluctantly.

Two days later, Li Fengyun led his army to Mangdang Mountain and successfully met Chen Rui in a place called Huozhugang.

After Chen Rui returned to the mountain day and night, he followed Li Fengyun's plan and first distributed wealth. There were brothers from the rebel army, including people from the mountains, even boatmen, sailors, craftsmen, and servants who were brought in. Then Chen Rui coaxed and deceived, tempted and threatened, and established two regiments in a short period of time, and more than 200 servants. Next, Chen Rui encouraged his tongue and said that the white-haired coach took people to attack Xiaoxian. There were probably a lot of spoils. Let's follow me down the mountain and move, and the people who were seen would still be part of the meeting. After this, people in and outside the mountains suddenly became excited. Even if some of the people who were brought in were unwilling to do so, and even had the idea of ​​escaping, the premise of escaping was to go down the mountain. In addition, the crowd was in a raging manner, you could not agree, so you went down the mountain in a swarm, and the people in Mangdang Mountain were empty for a while.

After waiting for the agreed place at the foot of the mountain for only one night, I saw Li Fengyun and his large army arrive in a hurry.

After the two sides met, the first thing was to equip the two regiments of Chen Rui with officers. The captain of the Third Regiment Yue Gao and the captain of the Fourth Regiment Guo Ming. The total strength of the rebel army was expanded to 900 people in the 4th Regiment and 1 brigade of 4th Regiment, and about 700 men with military and civilians, with a total of more than 1,600 men.

Now there are people in the rebel army, who have money, but lack weapons alone, and have serious shortages. Looting heavy troops has become a matter of force, and has become the top priority for the survival of the rebel army. Chen Rui, Lu Mingxing and others are so impressed by Li Fengyun's foresight. Why did Li Fengyun want to plunder those heavy troops alone since the beginning of the establishment of the rebel army? Obviously, he had already foresawed that the rebel army would develop very quickly, but he could not survive with a stick or even bare hands, let alone develop and grow. So those heavy troops became something that must be seized, so the Prime Minister of Han was kicked away by Li Fengyun for granted.

However, Prime Minister Han has been planning to plunder these heavy troops for a long time, so how could he give up easily? How could he let a white-haired prisoner of unknown origin be kicked aside after using him?

"General, when he returned to the mountain, the secret envoy of Han Ming's mansion was also waiting in the mountain."

Chen Rui took the initiative to report. Li Fengyun disagreed and looked cold. The situation has taken a sharp turn and the rebels have firmly controlled the development of the situation. There has been no matter what happens in Prime Minister Han. He will stay wherever he gets cool.

"What is the attitude of Prime Minister Han?" Li Fengyun asked casually.

Chen Rui laughed before he could speak.

"That guy is very arrogant and must threaten us and ask us to obey his command." Han Shou spat hard on the ground and cursed with a angrily voice, "Zhi Mom, treat us as fools and insist on killing us. Okay, if you write down this revenge, you will be rewarded in the future."

"Mr. Third, what did Han Mingfu say?"

Although Lu Mingxing was a little resentful to the cruel and ruthless attitude of the Prime Minister Han, he was still very respectful to the Prime Minister Han in his words.

Chen Rui shook his head and joked, "With Han Ming Mansion's domineering urging, how can others allow others to doubt or even overturn his plans? But this time he was embarrassed. It is estimated that Xia Ting was destroyed, Yongcheng was robbed, and the news of the interruption of the canal channel has reached Songcheng. The face of Han Ming Mansion has probably turned green."

"Don't pay attention to him!" Li Fengyun sneered, "Han Yao has raised the flag. The Prime Minister of Han is no longer able to do anything in Qiao County. He is beyond his reach. He is powerless to interfere in the affairs of our rebel army. He will pass the orders, eat and drink, and after a short rest, the soldiers of the entire army will quickly go south and head straight for Linhuan."

When Fei Huai led his army to gradually approach Mangdang Mountain and thought that the bandits had to hide back to the mountain under his pursuit, he did not expect that the rebel army had already stepped south.

That night, Fei Huai and Ying Yangwei were so familiar with each other in the camp. In the fields several miles away, the rebels quietly bypassed the enemy under the cover of night under the hazy moonlight.

At dawn, the rebels walked up the avenue, quickly entered Fuli County, and returned to Dingtao. Here they met several scouts who had sent to Tongji Canal to inquire about military information a few days ago. The scouts reported that the fleet transporting heavy troops had entered Linhuan County, Qiao County, and was heading towards Yongcheng, and there was no sign of suspending Linhuan due to the interruption of the waterway ahead.

Li Fengyun asked about Han Yao again. The scout reported that Han Yao was gathering troops in Xiaolonggang, Linhuan. Xiaolonggang was on the shore of Tongji Canal to plunder heavy troops. Li Fengyun decisively ordered the entire army to rush to Xiaolonggang to meet Han Yao and plunder heavy troops.

Han Yao really summoned the forces he belonged to within five days. The reason why it went so smoothly was mainly because there were lessons from the past.

The case of Zhai Rang in the eastern capital, Guanlong people were deliberately trying to kill chickens to warn the monkeys, so they reported all the nobles, bureaucrats and wealthy counties in Henan, which was well known. The subsequent major case of White Horse Prison robbery became even more disturbing, and they could not hide it, but the result was well known. Zhai Rang's disaster made the local forces in Henan sad, and they felt alert. They were cautious, fearing that they would repeat the same mistakes, but the more they wanted to avoid the disaster, the sooner the disaster came to their door.

Han Yao, the number one local force in Qiao County, also fell down. Once Han Yao fell down, his power would be severely damaged even if it would not be eliminated. But who dares to take such luck? Use the lives of his family and family to gamble? Han Yao was forced to rebel, so everyone should rebel too. Anyway, it is all the whole family's death. He stretched his head and cut his head, and he also tried his best. So he brought his family and flocked to him. Within five days, Han Yao summoned more than 3,000 people, including young and strong soldiers, recruited more than 800 people, and formed four regiments, and the rest were the people and men.

Han Yao called himself Qiao Gong, opened the government and built a camp, and made preparations. If Li Fengyun was killed by the official army, or if he did not flee, he would do it alone; if Li Fengyun came to meet at the scheduled time, Han Yao would intend to use the strength of the four regiments he possessed to annex Li Fengyun without hesitation.

The result was completely beyond his expectations. Not only was Li Fengyun not killed by the official army, but he expanded his team to a scale of thousands in a short period of time. Moreover, his soldiers were either vicious thieves, or boatmen, sailors and craftsmen who made their meals all day long through the wind and rain. Never underestimate these poor and humble peddlers. Their bodies are the capital for survival and are simple and loyal. As long as you are good to him, he will repay you sincerely. Therefore, with a little training, he will soon form combat power. In other words, Li Fengyun's strength is soaring now, not only not weaker than Han Yao, but also steadily suppressed him.

Han Yao was secretly shocked and immediately put away his indecent thoughts. He had already overestimated Li Fengyun, but Li Fengyun's extraordinary ability made Han Yao unable to see his depth at all.

Han Yao looked at Li Fengyun at a high glance, which does not mean that his subordinates would also value Li Fengyun and follow Li Fengyun. Han Yao is a nobleman, with status and status. What kind of bird is Li Fengyun? A horse thief from the north dares to advocate madness? He dares to rank high as the leader? He dares to ride on the head of our benefactor to show off his power? He wants to live? Han Yao is worried that something will happen. Once both sides have merged, the consequences will be unimaginable, so he warns his soldiers that at this critical moment, he needs help, so he must tolerate what others cannot tolerate.

If you are not willing to bear it, you will make a big plan. You will first overcome the crisis in front of you. Brothers work together and make it easier to cut off gold. The top priority of Meijie is to survive. To survive, you must cooperate and unite all the forces that can be united. This principle is even more simple. A bamboo chopstick is easy to break, while a bamboo chopstick is tough and difficult to break. Let’s talk about the future. People should look at the long-term and focus on the big interests in the future. Never be short-sighted, don’t be short-sighted, don’t be greedy for small profits, and don’t fight for a moment.

After the two rebel armies successfully met, Li Fengyun and Han Yao immediately discussed the relevant details of the cooperation, which was actually the issue of how the two rebel armies distributed power and interests, which was the basis for the cooperation between the two sides.
