Chapter 56 The Way to Live
Li Fengyun decided to fight a battle.
The development speed of the rebel army was amazing. Not only did Li Fengyun unexpectedly, but more than a hundred people gathered in Mangdang Mountain that day were also unbelievable. They admired Li Fengyun very much and regarded him as a god. Li Fengyun said that he wanted to fight a war, so everyone followed his advice and had no objection.
Qi County has a long history and is also a famous ancient battlefield. In the past, Qin general Wang Jian defeated the Chu army in Qinan and killed the Chu general Xiang Yan. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising were in Daze Township on the east bank of the Huanshui River in Qi County.
Li Fengyun took Xu Shisan and several guards to ride the plundered Lima (horse used to pull a cart), and walked around the east bank of Huanshui, visited the ancient battlefield, and then went to Daze Township. He then decided to fight Fei Huai in Daze Township.
When he told Han Yao this idea, Han Yao flatly rejected it. He knew Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion, and also knew Yingyang Lang general Fei Huai and Yingyang General Wang Yang. Although Li Fengyun always took the initiative in the confrontation with them, and even attacked him halfway by the Sui Shui River, easily destroyed a regiment of Yingyang Mansion, but he took advantage of the enemy's inadvertent and caught Yingyang Mansion off guard. In fact, Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion had no chance to show its powerful force from beginning to end. If the two sides confronted each other head-on, the rebel army would definitely not be the opponent. Now Li Fengyun's confidence has expanded, which has made victory blinded. He insisted on attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings and fighting against Yingyang Mansion head-on, wouldn't he seek death?
Han Yao firmly opposed it without any room for negotiation. He insisted on crossing the Huai River south, with a very good reason, stayed away from the Great Capital and the Grand Canal, and found a remote place in the Jianghuai River to solve the survival problem first. At this moment, the whole country was preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and the Dongdu and the local governments and Yingyang Mansion were all focused on the major plan of the Eastern Expedition. If the rebel army took the initiative to hide aside and did not make things difficult for the local governments and Yingyang Mansion, why should they make trouble for themselves? It would be useless to wipe out the enemy.
If you have to work hard, but if you are unfair to suppress the war, you will lose your official position and your life. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that once the rebel army is hiding in Jianghuai, the local governments of Jianghuai, Yingyang Mansion will definitely turn a blind eye to the Dongdu quell the rebellion and order the Yang to obey the Dongdu. This is obviously conducive to the survival of the rebel army, and wait for the victory of the Eastern Expedition to end and the domestic situation changes. Dongdu and local governments, Yingyang Mansion has the energy to suppress the rebellion and suppress the rebellion, the rebel army has also grown and developed, and has territory, so you can compete with the court.
Han Yao's analysis and inference are reasonable and convincing, but Li Fengyun's subordinates have already known the Baihai Zheng's vision of the future of the rebel army first, and this plan is better than Han Yao's strategy of crossing the Huai River. More importantly, they believe in Li Fengyun but do not trust Han Yao.
After Han Yao finished speaking, Li Fengyun suddenly asked, "Where is Jiang Du?"
Jiangdu is Yangzhou, south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River, between the Jianghuai River. Han Yao suddenly realized the meaning behind Li Fengyun's words, and his expression immediately became solemn.
Li Fengyun expressed his opinion that he opposed crossing Huai and going south. Jiang is the place where the emperors started their own business. He had carefully managed for more than ten years and had special feelings for him. After ascending the throne, he immediately expanded Jiangdu and built a large-scale construction. He also went south to Jiangdu for several months. Jiangdu's status in Zhongtu quickly rose, and the people jokingly called him "Nanjing" and became Zhongtu's accompanying capital with Xijing Daxing City.
When Li Fengyun saw Han Yao not speaking, he sneered, "You should be very clear about the emperor's importance to Jiangdu. In order to please the monarch, his close ministers spared no effort to build Jiangdu. Now his status as a accompanying capital cannot be changed. Since he is a accompanying capital, the surrounding area is the capital. The Jianghuai River is only a thousand miles away, and all the land is the capital. The rebel army crosses the Huai River and enters the Jiangdu Town Garage District, and will face a huge crisis. If the survival is not guaranteed, how can we talk about development and growth?"
Han Yao's face was red and his eyes were full of shame and annoyance, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Where is the general going?" Han Yao couldn't help but question. Could it be that if you fight a war in Qi County, you can find the way to heaven and earth?
Li Fengyun's face was gloomy, frowned, thought for a moment, spread out the map, and said, "Now we are in the town garrison of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion in Pengcheng. If nothing unexpected happens, Zuo Xiaowei Mansion has learned of the news of the robbery of heavy troops. He is urgently mobilizing Xu Yu Zhuyingyang to encircle us, and urgently sue Jiangdu and call the police to Jiangdu, asking Jiangdu to block all the Jinkou of Huaihe River under Jiangdu's jurisdiction to prevent us from crossing Huaihe River to the south. From time to time, even if we successfully cross the Huaihe River in emergency, we will fall into the siege of Jianghuai Zhuyingyang. Jianghuai is a strange place to us and cannot find any helpers. On the contrary, there are enemies in all directions, and we will undoubtedly die."
"As the general said, should we trap Xu Yu and wait for death?" Han Yao asked again, "Although the two sides of Tongji Canal are full of fellow travelers, at this critical moment of life and death, few people provide timely assistance and many people take advantage of the situation. General should not blindly believe in the so-called brothers and friends."
Li Fengyun shook his hand at Han Yao, signaling him to be calm, and then pointed to the map and drew a circle at Qi County. "Xu Yu and Zhu Yingyang were surrounded on three sides, and there were blocking enemies in the direction of the Huaihe River. In fact, we have been surrounded. Our top priority at the moment is to try every means to jump out of the siege of the official army and find a relatively safe place to survive."
"Relatively safe?" Han Yao couldn't help but shouted with excitement, "Where is safe? According to the general, crossing Huai south is a dead end, so going west to Yingru or Nanyang is also a dead end, because these places are close to Henan, the Great Jingji area. Go north? Go north is Jingji, Henan, just seeking death. Go east? Go east is Pengcheng, which is the center of Zuo Xiaoweifu Town, and is full of Yingyang Mansion, or seeking death. General, where are we going relatively safe?"
Li Fengyun saw that Han Yao was angry and had no demeanor, and couldn't help laughing. He stretched out a finger to Han Yao, who was glaring at him, shook it twice to attract Han Yao's attention, and then pressed it to the Qi County on the map.
Han Yao was confused and looked in confusion.
Li Fengyun's fingers went northeast along Qi County on the map, and stopped in Pengcheng. After Han Yao frowned, Li Fengyun continued to move his fingers and continued to go northeast, and then stopped at the edge of the map. There was the land of Qilu, bordering Pengcheng were Lu County and Langya County, and to the east were Qi County, Beihai, Gaomi, and Donglai County. At the southwest end of Qilu, that is, at the intersection of Pengcheng County, Lu County and Langya County, there was a large mountain. This mountain extended to the northeast, spanning the entire Langya County, and finally ended in the Beihai, Gaomi, with a radius of about two hundred miles. Its southwest is called Mengshan and its northeast is called Yishan.
After Li Fengyun's finger moved to the edge of the map, he stopped on the Mengshan Mountains.
Han Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he woke up suddenly as if he was enlightened. He is so brilliant! So smart! A good place! A good place!
At this moment, Li Fengyun's weight in his mind suddenly increased a little. Such a strange man, he is not a thing in the pool. If he follows him, he may have the opportunity to turn into a dragon.
From the land of Xuyu to fight against Qilu, and leaped into Mengshan thousands of miles into the rebels, the rebels could resolve the survival crisis. Qilu was far away from the Central Plains, the capital, and the Eastern Capital, and the emperor and the central government were far beyond the reach. Qilu had a long history and extensive culture. The strong and united local forces were quite famous throughout the dynasties. The same was true for this dynasty. As part of the Shandong people of Zhongtu, the conflicts with the Guanlong people were very fierce due to their historical and cultural reasons. The conflict between the two sides has never stopped since the reunification of Zhongtu.
Han Yao once learned the secrets in Yingyang Mansion that as early as this year, the floods of the river flooded and flooded the counties and counties on both sides of the strait, causing millions of people to suffer disasters, and some people in Qilu raised their flags to rebel. However, his level was low and he could not find out the details. However, if the rebellion of the Qilu people was not suppressed by the local Yingyang Mansion, then the rebels could not only find allies and support each other, but also take advantage of the chaotic situation there to quickly gain a foothold. In addition, the Qilu Plain area is a wealthy place, and the adjacent Henan counties and Xuzhou counties are also a town of fish and rice, which is very conducive to the development and growth of the rebels.
Of course, the strategy of going south to the Jianghuai River is not as unbearable as Li Fengyun said. Compared with moving east to the Jianghuai River to the south, its real advantage is that Qi and Lu belong to the Shandong region.
The rebel army originated from Mangdang Mountain, and Mangdang Mountain also belongs to the Shandong region. When facing the common rival of the Guanlong people in the Great Henan and the Guanlong people, they will take the initiative to shelve conflicts and work together, which is caused by historical reasons. Since the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yellow River Basin has formed a situation of east-west confrontation. The Shandong people in the east and Guanlong people in the west have fought each other for decades in order to reunify the Yellow River Basin. Both sides of the river, under the Taihang Mountains, on the Central Plains, Heluo, and Jingxiang, were corpses everywhere, and the two sides were full of hatred. However, the final winner was not the Shandong people who regarded themselves as the upright, with vast territory and strong national strength, but the Guanlong people who lived in the northwest territory, with weak national strength, cultural and military strength, and were vulgar and barbaric Guanlong people.
The barbarism defeated civilization, and the weak defeated the strong. This huge psychological gap, coupled with the Guanlong ruling class's attack on Shandong people after victory, curbing and bullying, has caused the hatred between the two sides not only not diminished, but has become increasingly stronger, especially the conflict between the aristocratic class. Guanlong, a newly emerging aristocratic group that mainly rises with military merits, has conflicted with Shandong, a traditional aristocratic group that has been passed down from classics and has even been passed down for more than a thousand years, due to the inequality in the distribution of power and wealth, the conflict between the two sides has become increasingly intense.
Against this background, if the rebel army insists on operating in the Shandong region, it will definitely receive support from some Shandong nobles and Shandong civilians. The support from the nobles and civilians is the basic condition for the development and growth of the rebel army. On the contrary, if they cross the Huai south and enter the Jianghuai area, the rebel army not only fails to receive support from the Shandong people, but falls into the siege of Jiangjunren.
Since the Five Barbarians invaded China, and their clothes were in the south, and China and Turkey fell into division and melee, they have always been the main battlefield for war between the two sides of the north and the south. Therefore, the local forces in this area are extremely complex, with local forces, powers of migrants and migrants from the south, and the Zongtuan Township Group to which the various forces belonged were very powerful. Even after the sergeant unification, the new dynasty did not dare to forcibly ban these Zongtuan Township Group and other local armed forces to avoid fierce conflicts with the local forces in the Jianghuai River. Because of this historical reason, the Jianghuai nobles neither belonged to the Shandong noble group nor the Jiangzuo noble group. They were independent and had strong power.
The rebel army crossed the south of Huai, which would inevitably infringe on the interests of local forces in Jianghuai, and the consequences can be imagined. Han Yao knew about this situation and was also frightened, but he did not see Qilu thousands of miles away, nor did he see Mengshan in Langya, so he had no choice. Now Li Fengyun gave him a clear path, making Han Yao seem to see light in the darkness. A huge joy surrounded him instantly, making him feel comfortable and so excited that he couldn't control himself. He finally found a way out.
