Although Dong Chun was sure that the leader of the thief was not Han Yao, there was no evidence to prove that the leader of the thief was someone else, so he could only temporarily overestimate the opponent and treat it solemnly, so as to avoid underestimating the enemy and suffering a series of defeats like Fei Huai. If Fei Huai was defeated, he would lose his life. If he was defeated, it would not only lose his life, but it would seriously affect the interests of the Longxi Group and thus affect the political situation of the Dongdu.

Recalling that the early Qi King Yang Hung was severely injured by his political opponents, the distance between him and the position of the prince suddenly became infinitely far, he had to be cautious.

Those who suffered from the case of King Qi were related to the Zhong and Longxi nobles. Among them, Dong Chun, as a military general, played a great role in the court, and was even denounced by the emperor and almost lost his official hat. The reason why the emperor forgave him was not because of his trust and respect, but because of the Eastern Expedition, which required Dong Chun, who was accused of fighting, had outstanding military achievements and respect for his respect, Dong Chun also wanted to use the Eastern Expedition to make more contributions and win the emperor's trust again.

However, at this critical moment, someone rebelled in his town garrison. After two heavy punches, the interruption of the Tongji Canal waterway and the robbery of heavy troops, it not only directly affected the court's plan for the Eastern Expedition, but also "catched all the military and political officials of Qiao County in one go", but also forced Dong Chun to the edge of the cliff.

As for the current situation, if Dong Chun is lucky, at most he will fall into the trough of his career and will make a comeback. If he is not lucky, he will finish his new and old accounts together.

What did you think about Dong Chun? It was a coincidence? It was absolutely impossible. It must be related to the fierce struggle between the various political factions of the Dongdu and the fierce battle between the imperial throne in the Dongdu. The opponent's goal was obviously to destroy himself, to attack the Longxi throne, and to further cut off the possibility of King Yang Hung of Qi's king to advance to the crown prince and inherit the imperial throne.

Dong Chun gradually clarified the context, just like smelling a bloody wolf, discovering the target, finding prey, but also detecting the crisis. This crisis must not be allowed to develop. Whether it is self-rescue, safeguarding the interests of the Longxi Group, or protecting the King of Qi Yang Hing, they must treat the suppression of the rebellion as a political incident.

Dong Chun then urgently wrote to Li Hun, the general of the Right Guard, to inform the drastic changes in Qiao County and the changes in the situation in Xuyu and Yan area caused by this, and made a detailed analysis of the reasons behind the change in the situation. Based on this, Dong Chun judged that whether the rebellion could be suppressed is secondary. What is important is that the Longxi Group must immediately change its political position, firmly support the emperor's expedition, and actively ease the conflict with the radical forces supporting the emperor. Otherwise, even if all the rebels were killed tomorrow, it would be difficult to redeem their crimes and would not escape punishment. The Longxi Group may also be jointly attacked by the emperor and the central radical forces.

At this time, the troops of Yingyang Mansion of Songcheng, Liang County were ordered to rush to Yongcheng, and the troops of Yingyang Mansion of Qiaocheng, Qiao County also came to meet. Dong Chun then led three regiments of Yingyang Mansion of Songcheng, three regiments of Yingyang Mansion of Qiaocheng, and quickly went south along the Tongji Canal to Qi County of Pengcheng. At the same time, Liang Dezhong, the general of Wuben of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion, also led Pengcheng, and seven regiments of the two Yingyang Mansions of Fuli to arrive in Qi County.

Almost at the same time, Li Fengyun led the rebel army to the east bank of the Wo River, which was close to Dangtujinkou on the Huai River. However, the rebel army did not directly kill Dangtu, but stopped at the junction of Qiao County, Pengcheng County and Ruyin County. After making a move to cross the Huai River, it could also move south to Yuzhou west.

After Dong Chun arrived in Qi County, he immediately asked the rebel general Liang Dezhong about the movements of the rebels.

The Wu Benlang General Liang Dezhong was not fast in his way south. Although he did not take a group of thieves seriously at all, the series of changes that occurred in Qiao County were too incredible and weird, and it was not something that a group of ordinary thieves could do. Especially when the Eastern Expedition was about to begin, this matter made him think more and more deeply, and he could not help but think about the fierce and complex political struggles in the Dongdu.

Dong Chun, the general of the Zuo Xiaogu, had been affected by the dispute over the imperial throne of the Dongdu, but fortunately, in order to protect the King of Qi, the Longxi people and Guanzhong people in the Guanlong noble group joined forces to resist the "attack" of their opponents. In order to maintain the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition, the emperor also needed to maintain the stability of the Dongdu political situation. Dong Chun escaped by chance. Dong Chun was the backbone of the Longxi faction and was in Pengcheng and held heavy troops. This always made some people in the Dongdu feel as if they were on the back and were determined to attack him. Therefore, Liang Dezhong had sufficient reason to believe that behind the drastic changes in Qiao County, there was a black hand that was extended from the Dongdu. In the case of unclear investigation, it would be better to be cautious, so as not to cause unintentional disasters to himself.

However, the situation was getting worse and worse. Before Liang Dezhong arrived in Qi County, he received news that the entire Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng was wiped out, Fei Huai, the general of Yingyang Lang, and Wang Yang, the general of Yingjilang, disappeared. This news was so shocking. A group of thieves had such strong combat power, no one believed it. Go and ask the gangsters on both sides of Tongjiqu, and ask them whether they believed it or not, and Liang Dezhong was even more unbelievable. But the fact was right in front of him. He even went to inspect the battlefield in Daze Township in person, and it was impossible to believe it. There was only one conclusion. Among the rebels, there were "experts" and people who were good at strategy. This person had rich combat experience, and such people would only come from the army and from the border troops with frequent wars. The domestic peace has been long, and the domestic Yingyang has been abandoned, let alone going to the battlefield to fight, so he could not cultivate such people at all.

Who is this person? Why did he appear in Tongjiqu? Why did he gather people to rebel? If the series of changes that occurred in Qiao County were all planned by this person, what is the purpose? Liang Dezhong revealed some of his views on the rebels.

The more powerful the rebels are, the worse the situation is, the more difficult it is for Dong Chun, and the greater the pressure he is under. Seeing Dong Chun's frown and the white hair on his temples, Liang Dezhong couldn't help but secretly be happy and gloat. He is from Guanzhong and belongs to the Guanzhong relationship with the right roots in the military. However, the Liang family can only be regarded as a third- and fourth-rate noble in Guanzhong. The limitation of his status and status has caused him to have very limited room for promotion, and it is already the limit to becoming a Wu Benlang General. Since he can't even rely on promotion and promotion, he will concentrate on making money and making money.

Pengcheng is a good place and wealthy. Liang Dezhong was devoted to making money when he arrived in Pengcheng, but he still had Dong Chun above him. Dong Chun still had room for improvement in his career. If King Yang Hung of Qi could take over the East Palace and become the crown prince, he would inherit the imperial throne and become emperor in the future, and reward him according to his merits, Dong Chun could at least be a general of the Wei Mansion. Therefore, Dong Chun was self-disciplined and was strict with himself, and he would also be very strict with his subordinates. This led to Liang Dezhong's desire to make money was also dashed. Liang Dezhong was of course full of complaints and wanted Dong Chun to leave Pengcheng, so that he could throw his arms around and "work a big fight".

Liang Dezhong intentionally exaggerated the strength of the rebels and reminded Dong Chun that behind these rebels, there may be the "black hands" of Dongdu, and intends to increase the heavy pressure that Dong Chun has been under.

Dong Chun sneered inwardly, seeing Liang Dezhong's dirty thoughts clearly.

Liang Dezhong is also a veteran of the Wei Mansion in his fifties. At this age, sitting in this position, he is no longer a simple military commander. He has more or less a certain voice in this faction and must be involved in the political decisions of the faction. Therefore, some ulterior secrets hidden behind such vicious incidents like Qiao County cannot be concealed by Liang Dezhong. From Liang Dezhong's position, the traitor must be suppressed, but how to suppress it, you have to use your brain. First, be cautious and secondly, you must protect yourself. In this way, driving the traitor across the Huai River, or allowing the traitor to cross the Huai River, and lead the disaster to the south, is the best way. Without a single arrow, he completed the task of suppressing the traitors. He did not offend either side or brought any risks to himself. He could explain to the superiors and subordinates, and everyone was very happy.

Liang Dezhong was happy, and Dong Chun suffered. If Dong Chun wanted to make a contribution, he had to keep the traitors in the garrison of the town and personally killed the traitors. For this reason, he would pay any price and take any risks. However, with Liang Dezhong's constraints, his decisions would be difficult to be implemented without fail.

"You can't let the traitor cross the Huai south." Dong Chun's tone was very stern, and there was no doubt. "The traitor crossing the Huai south was the dereliction of duty by Zuo Xiaowei's Mansion. It was not only someone who took responsibility for this, but you."

Faced with Dong Chun's solemn warning, Liang Dezhong disagreed. He stroked his long gray beard and said slowly, "Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. At present, we know too little about the rebels. Zhu Yingyang hastily encircled and suppressed him. If you are not careful, you may repeat the mistake of Fei Huai's defeat. Fei Huai and Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion were wiped out. We can still find a reason to explain to the Holy Lord and the Wei Mansion, but if we lose again, how can we explain it?"

Liang De avoided the important and did not affirm Dong Chun's decision or directly denied it, which made Dong Chun very dissatisfied. "Although we cannot be careless and underestimate the enemy, there is no need to overestimate the strength of the bandits, and we cannot look forward to it and be afraid because of Fei Huai's failure."

Liang Dezhong shook his head and said solemnly, "Duke Shunzheng, the traitors robbed the heavy soldiers of a whole fleet. Now these traitors are not kitchen knives and axes, but long swords and strong crossbows, and are fully armed. Although the traitors are not from the palace soldiers, they are not good at martial arts, and they cannot fight. The heavy soldiers are like scrap iron in their hands, but don't forget that among these traitors, there is a 'expert' with outstanding strategies, so overestimating the opponent is not a bad thing."

After all, Liang Dezhong had no desire to actively suppress the thieves. He would rather drive the thieves to Huainan and let the thieves harm others than kill them with his own hands or take a little risk.

"Okay, then you overestimate the traitor." Dong Chun sneered, "Now the traitor is in the Woshui area. It is possible to cross Huai south or westward into Yuzhou. How can the general encircle and suppress it?"

The thieves must be suppressed. If they remain unmoved, they will allow the rebels to rush around to burn, kill, and loot, and they will not be able to explain to the superiors and subordinates.

"The troops entered Wo Water." Liang Dezhong said without hesitation, "Order the Yingyang Mansions of Huaiyang and Ruyin counties to rush to the Feishui line immediately, cooperate with our main force, attack and surround and block the gangsters, and be sure to surround and kill the thieves on both sides of Wo Water."
