Li Fengyun was determined to control the leadership of the rebel army, while Han Yao had no intention of surrendering to others and letting others control his own destiny. As a result, both sides had to compromise and make concessions to each other.

Li Fengyun was also the supreme commander of the rebel army, and the general's office was the supreme decision-making and command organization of the rebel army. Han Yao served as the chief secretary of the general's office, Qu ranked second leader of the rebel army, and Chen Rui was the Sima of the general's office and the third leader of the rebel army.

The General's Mansion has two armies. The first army is the Cangtou Army, with four regiments and one brigade under it, and Li Fengyun is the commander. The second army is named Qiao, which not only indicates the place where the flag was raised, but also represents the army of Qiao Gong Han Yao, who is the commander of Qiao Army.

From this top-level design, it can be seen that the real decision makers of the Rebel Army are Li Fengyun, Han Yao and Chen Rui. They are restrained by each other, and no one can do anything but a word, covering the sky with one hand, and any decision must be discussed before the final decision can be finalized. In addition, the two armies each have considerable independence. Li Fengyun has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qiao army, and Han Yao can't even get involved in the military affairs of the Cangtou Army. The cooperation between the two sides is actually only cooperation at the decision-making level. The two armies are alliances and mutual assistance, not integration and no distinction between each other.

After solving this most critical and important thing, the next step is to loot the heavy fleet.

The fleet transporting heavy troops has entered Linhuan County. The fleet is responsible for the safety of the fleet by the Yingyang Guards of two regiments. Then, whenever they arrive in a county, the Yingyang Mansion will send troops to protect both sides of the canal. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the safety of the fleet is guaranteed. However, something big happened in Qiao County, and some rebels rebelled, resulting in the interruption of the canal channel. Yingyang Mansion flocked out to chase and suppress the rebels. So when the heavy troops entered Qiao County, not only did the Yingyang Mansion army not protect both sides of the canal, but the canal was full of ships and the channel was congested. The ships in front could not walk, and the ships behind were still driving in. You can imagine the chaotic scene on the Tongji Canal.

The heavy fleet relied on the protection of Yingyang Guards, and the emperor's imperial edict and the Ministry of War, forcibly moved forward, but the closer it was to the Yongcheng section channel, the more congested the channel, and eventually had to stop.

With the strength of the thieves along the Tongji Canal, no matter how brave he is, he dare not make the idea of ​​this fleet. This fleet not only has two regiments of four hundred Eagle Yang Guards, but also hundreds of boatmen and sailors. The guards are still very strong, so the fleet is relaxed and there is no fear of someone robbing them. Robbing is just asking for death.

In addition, they are not afraid of time delays. After all, this is the transport of heavy troops, and the manufacturing of heavy troops is very difficult. Safety is definitely the first priority. If the transportation speed is slower, the key is to deliver the heavy troops safely. Besides, the Eastern Expedition has not yet begun. After the ice and snow are thawed next year, there is more than enough time, so there is no need to worry.

This took many of Li Fengyun's inferences for granted. The most important one was the Yingyang Guard, who protected the ship. They would never leave the fleet unless they had to. Although the number of rebel soldiers is currently the dominant number, the fleet is parked on the water and it is difficult to rob. Now, the Yingyang Guard in Yongcheng is dredging the channel with the civilians. The fleet is located only a few dozen miles away from Yongcheng. If the fleet asks for help, the Yingyang Guard in Yongcheng will soon be able to kill. Fei Huai probably has also discovered that the rebel army has turned south and is chasing with all its strength. Once the rebel army fails to quickly take the fleet and let Fei Huai catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Fengyun and Han Yao then summoned officers at the level of the brigade commander of the two armies to discuss attack strategies. At the same time, they also allowed the generals of both sides to sit together and speak freely, and had a preliminary understanding of each other to facilitate cooperation between the two armies.

The setting sun sets in the west, the evening breeze is swaying, and the chill in late autumn is getting stronger and stronger.

The Eagle Fighter General Lu Ping stood on the deck, wrapped his thin body in a black cloak, and his eyes slowly swept over the big and small ships all over the canal. The anxiety in his heart continued to increase, and a nameless anger became more and more intense, and his eyes gradually became more and more sinister. Qiao County was mainly responsible for the safety of the canal, and the Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion was also responsible for protecting the heavy fleet's transit. However, the fleet was only a few dozen miles away from Yongcheng, and there was no soldier and soldier from Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion.

Something happened in Xiating and Yongcheng. They were looted by rebels. The Jinkou Wharf was burned down by fire and the waterway was interrupted. This news has been rumored. As for the specific details, no one knows it. However, one thing is puzzled. How could the Yingyang Mansion be guarded in Yongcheng? Is the thief very powerful and annihilated the Yingyang Mansion army? There are all kinds of speculations, but everyone immediately focused their attention on the clearance of the waterway and guessed when it would be possible. After all, this is related to everyone's personal interests. What is certain is that the Qiao County Government is definitely doing its best to clear the waterway. This is the top priority and is more important than suppressing the thief.

Lu Ping is also concerned about this matter, but he is more concerned about the safety of heavy troops. Yongcheng's robbery shows that the thief is very powerful and Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion cannot deal with it. There is no doubt about this. Since this is the case, your Yingyang Mansion must do its best to protect the fleet, unless your Yingyang Mansion is wiped out, but this is absolutely impossible. Therefore, Lu Ping was full of anger at the fact that Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion ignores the safety of the fleet, neither sends troops to protect the fleet nor does he contact the fleet.

At this time, two lieutenants who were following his escort ship north were ordered to come. The fleet stopped due to majeure reasons and was in a turbulent area. It lacked the protection of the local Yingyang Mansion. There was a crisis in security. Of course, the commanders of the troops had to gather to discuss and discuss countermeasures to prevent accidents.

The two lieutenants disagreed with the possible crisis in front of them, believing that the country is stable, the country is strong, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. How big a storm can a few small thieves cause? Rumors have always been spreading rumors, and the credibility is extremely low. The two suggested that Lu Ping send someone to Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng, take the initiative to contact each other, find out the matter before making a decision.

Lu Ping adopted this suggestion and then drafted a letter. Before he finished writing it, a guard came to report that someone from Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng was coming.

"How many people have come?" Lu Ping asked immediately.

"One brigade coach, two fire guards, twenty-one."

When Lu Ping heard this, the anger that was holding it in his heart suddenly surged out again. Twenty-one people? What can twenty-one people do? Should they protect the fleet or the fleet protect them? Lu Ping could not bear it anymore, and blurted out Jiangnan's words and teared the unwritten letter in a few seconds.

The two lieutenants knew that Lu Pingren was thin and used to it, so they persuaded them to comfort each other. Since Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng was sent, they naturally had to meet him and could not forgive him. This was the territory of others, and they had just been beaten by the thief. The future was dark and the bad mood was conceivable. There was no need to make things difficult for the other party at this moment.

Lu Ping suppressed his anger and ordered the summoning of the brigade coach. Soon, the brigade coach took two guards to the ship to pay homage.

When Lu Ping and the two captains saw it, they suddenly realized that the situation was serious. The military uniforms and leather armor worn by the brigade commander and the two guards were broken in many places and bloodstained. Especially the brigade commander had many pits on his head, which was obviously just coming down from the battlefield and the battle was fierce. The brigade commander was tall and burly, majestic, and murderous. He looked like a warrior.

Lu Ping and the two captains were both from the army. Although they had not fought for many years, they had been in the military for decades, and the brave soldiers and ordinary guards could still be identified at a glance. These days, the brave soldiers were all in the border areas, and the domestic singing and dancing were promoted. The guards were negligent in training. Now even a brave soldier is rare, let alone a brave soldier. Therefore, Lu Ping and the two captains were convinced of the identity of this brigade commander, just like the officer of the Yingyang Mansion who was replaced.

Before Lu Ping asked, the brigade commander calmly reported the name of the name and claimed his surname to be Li. Then he briefly described what happened in Yongcheng. Sima of Yingyang Prefecture and a local nobleman of Qiao County, Han Yao, was corrupt and abused the law. He was impeached and reported by Yingyang's borders and was unable to protect him. He colluded with the bandits in Mangdang Mountain, and captured Yongcheng from the inside and outside, raised the flag to rebel. Yingyang Prefecture then pursued and suppressed the bandits and surrounded the bandits in Xiaolonggang. He was fighting now. Because he was worried about the safety of the fleet, he sent someone to report the news and asked the general to be at peace. When Yingyang Prefecture finished suppressing the bandits, he would do his best to protect the fleet and go north to leave the country.

Lu Ping was overjoyed and his anger dissipated most of his anger. It was just dusk and he was about to have supper, so he invited him warmly. The coach named Li was very pleased and agreed immediately. He also said that the brothers on the shore had not yet eaten their grains of rice for a day and a night, and begged the general to give him some food to fill his hunger.

Lu Ping was quite apologized for his misunderstanding of Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng. He waved his hand and invited him to board the boat and reward him with wine and meat.

The guards were having a drink in the cabin, while Lu Ping and the two lieutenants were drinking happily in the cabin. After drinking, Lu Ping and the two lieutenants were unable to withstand curiosity, so they asked this and that, trying to figure out everything that happened in Yongcheng. The Li lieutenants might be so soft-mouthed that they were stingy, and they could speak in all their words.

Just as we were chatting with relish, suddenly there were sounds of drums and earth-shaking shouts outside the cabin.

Lu Ping and the two lieutenants were shocked and hurriedly pushed open the cabin window to look out. They saw that the lights on the canal bank were brightly lit as bright as daytime. Countless civilians in white were holding sticks and shaking flags with sticks in their hands, and hundreds of athletes rushed over in small boats and rushed to the fleet.

No, there was a thief hijacking ship. Lu Ping immediately reacted and was about to order a drum beat when he heard the cold voice of the coach named Li from his ear, "Can you lend your head to use it?"

Lu Ping was so desolate that he turned his head suddenly and saw that the Li Lu Shuai pierced the bodies of the two lieutenants standing on Lu Ping with one hand and nailed them to the bulkhead. For a moment, blood was everywhere and screams were endless.

"Who are you?" Lu Ping roared loudly, and his right hand was about to pull out the knife.

The Li Shuai was faster and punched Lu Ping on the door. Lu Ping screamed in pain and hit the bulkhead. The Li Shuai was flying over, jammed his throat and raised him high, "Surrender! Otherwise, there will be no mercy to kill!"

Lu Ping was furious and struggled hard.

The Li Shuai was furious and pressed him against the bulkhead with his left hand, clenched his fist with his right hand, and punched him several times in a row, and fisted him to the flesh. Lu Ping was in pain and screamed sternly.
