Pengcheng is a water and land transportation hub in Xuzhou area. Its land route can be from the East Sea to the East Capital, and from Qilu to the Jianghuai to the north and south; its water route has Sishui running through Qilu and Xuzhou, while the Bian River connecting Tongji Canal converges with Sishui under Pengcheng City.

Pengcheng City is located at the southern end of the intersection of the Bian River and Si River. In the Sishui River section of the north and southeastern ends of the city, there are two Jinkous, which are important passes connecting east-west and north-south land routes. Fifteen miles southwest of the city, there is Longcheng, which is the outer pass of Pengcheng. The first thing to do to attack Pengcheng is to take down Longcheng.

That afternoon, Longcheng was suddenly attacked by an Yingyang Mansion army. Fortunately, there was a group of Yingyang Guards stationed in the city, and they were very vigilant. The city gate was closed as soon as they were attacked, but the city was still lost, which greatly weakened Longcheng's defense ability, and the infantry captain rushed to Pengcheng for help.

The news of the severe situation of rebels in Qiao County is no longer a secret in the military and political circles of Pengcheng, but in order to ensure regional stability, such bad news that is sufficient to cause panic must be kept strictly confidential and limited to spread within the bureaucratic class. Even ordinary officials in the government are Zuoshi, they are unknown. The low-level officers and ordinary soldiers of Yingyang Mansion know nothing, and the general public know nothing. However, the matter is in Qiao County, and the crisis is also in Qiao County, which has nothing to do with the vital interests of Pengcheng bureaucrats. Everyone is only concerned about it, and they do not realize that the crisis may suddenly come to Pengcheng one day, endangering their own safety.

The Zuo Xiaogu Mansion in Pengcheng was the first to receive the news. After the Zuo Xiaogu General Dong Chun and Wu Benlang General Liang Dezhong led their troops to suppress the bandits, Sima Dong Jun was left in the mansion.

Dong Jun also came from Chengji, Longxi. He was a clan of the clan. He was Dong Chun's nephew in terms of age. When he was young, he followed Dong Chun to fight. With Dong Chun's support, he was promoted very quickly. Now he is the Sima of the General's Mansion. If he has the opportunity to become the head of Yingyang Mansion, he will basically be successful and have a successful career. But at this critical moment, Dong Chun had an accident one after another. He was involved in the case of King Yang Han of Qi, but now he is suffering from the rebels' disaster to the garrison. It is really bad luck. Dong Jun's mood is very bad, but he still has to do what he should do.

Three regiments of Yingyang Mansion in Pengcheng went to Qiao County to suppress the thieves, and only one regiment was left. For security reasons, Dong Chun specially transferred three regiments from Yingyang Mansion in Peicheng to Pengcheng Town to guard the town. Peicheng was only more than 100 miles away from Pengcheng, which was very close, so it was convenient to mobilize. After these three regiments arrived in Pengcheng, one regiment guarded Longcheng according to the order of the General's Mansion, and two regiments were stationed on Gaojiashu on the south bank of the Bian River, which could support Pengcheng and Longcheng left and right.

The general of the Ying Yanglang of Peicheng was Wei Yunyue, who came from the Wei family, the first native Han noble family in Guanzhong. Wei Yunyue's elder brother was Wei Yunqi. He was both civil and military, had outstanding talents and was famous. He is now the deputy chief of the Censorate of the Censorate. When the case of King Yang of Qi was in a turmoil, he opposed the controversy in Wei's decision-making. In order to protect the interests of Wei, he resolutely abandoned his son, cut off his arms, and personally submitted an impeachment to King Yang of Qi, thus helping Wei quickly escape from the storm. It was precisely because the Wei family lost the car and protected the coach at the critical moment and betrayed King Yang of Qi, and there was a grudge between Dong and Wei, and a conflict arose. Of course, Dong Chun had to "look at each other" with Wei.

Dong Jun even wrote his dissatisfaction on his face. When Wei Yunyue led his army to Pengcheng, he not only refused to let Wei Yunyue's army enter the city, but even Wei Yunyue himself ignored him and did not allow him to step into the general's mansion. Wei Yunyue put on "little shoes" for people, of course he was very unhappy. He thought about finding an opportunity to take revenge, but he didn't expect this opportunity to appear in a blink of an eye.

After receiving the alarm from Longcheng, Wei Yunyue took advantage of the general's mansion and before the order to support was issued, he decisively ordered his subordinates stationed in Longcheng to retreat to Gaojiashu immediately. His reason was very simple, the Yingyang Mansion army was fighting Longcheng? Which Yingyang Mansion has such courage? It is lawless, this is a rebellion and a beheading, so there is only one explanation. This is a trap. Dong Jun used his power to frame me. As for what kind of trap this is and what conspiracy is there, Wei Yunyue had no time to analyze and infer. His idea was very simple. If I can't afford to mess with me, I can't hide? I'm going to be a turtle? I'll shrink all my troops in Gaojiashu and stay here. If there is any abnormality, I'll simply retreat to the north bank of the Bian River. I see how Dong Jun harms me?

Wei Yunyue thought Dong Jun was going to frame him, so why didn’t Dong Jun think so? If the Yingyang Mansion army attacked Longcheng? Do you think I am an idiot? Wei Yunyue couldn’t wear "little shoes" anymore, and he made a mess. He wanted to design and harm me. He dreamed that I wouldn’t mess with you. Dong Jun immediately ordered Wei Yunyue to go to Longcheng to support him and see what happened. As for the army in the city, he didn’t even want to transfer to support him. If you set a trap in Longcheng, I don’t jump, what can you do to me?

Han Shou easily took down Longcheng without even being injured, which made the soldiers excited, cheered and rushed into the city to plunder. Han Shou felt guilty. This strange scene was mysterious and uneasy, so he urgently responded to Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun's plan was to use the front-selling army to attack Longcheng, attract Pengcheng's army to Longcheng, and then transfer the main force to attack Jinkou. Once the main force of the rebel army attacked Jinkou, his intention to cross the river and advance eastward was exposed. The enemy would use heavy troops to attack Jinkou and block the rebel army from crossing the river. However, the rebel army had seized Jinkou in advance and took the initiative, so he could cross the river while blocking the enemy.

Li Fengyun believed that the rebel army would definitely have a hard battle under Pengcheng City, so he repeatedly warned the rebel generals to be fully prepared. However, as soon as this plan was implemented, the rebel army easily took down Longcheng. But this is a good thing. Pengcheng Yingyangwei must go out to regain Longcheng, which is more conducive to the main force of the rebel army attacking Jinkou and crossing the river to advance eastward, and even reduce the losses of the rebel army.

Li Fengyun ordered Han Shou to prepare for battle and restrain his subordinates from plundering unscrupulously. This is Pengcheng, a major city, with an elite army. If he wants to die, he must strictly abide by military discipline and orders. He also ordered the main force to advance quietly to Jinkou. When the Pengcheng defenders start attacking Longcheng, they launch a fierce attack, hoping to hit the target with one blow and go down with one blow.

Li Fengyun also considered the deceptive role played by the soldiers wearing eagle-hanging uniforms, but this function was only temporary. Once you fight, even if you are a real eagle-hanging, it is a rebellion and an enemy. Pengcheng will immediately respond fiercely.

However, beyond the expectations of the rebel army, Pengcheng did not respond for a long time.

Dong Jun is waiting to watch the show. You Wei Yun is more and more realistic, and the more you are guilty afterwards. This is called shooting yourself in the foot and causing trouble. Dong Jun is leisurely and Cui Deben, the governor of Pengcheng County, was anxious.

The highest administrative officer of a county is the prefect, followed by the county magistrate. The prefect positions in many important counties in this dynasty were either given to princes and lords as additional officials. For example, the King of Yue Yang Tong was appointed as the Henan Yin, but he actually ignored everything; or the regional military chief was prosecuted (acting), such as Dong Chun, prosecuted the prefect of Pengcheng. In this case, the county magistrate was actually the highest administrative officer of a county and had great power. Cui Deben, the county magistrate, had great power. Dong Chun was in charge of one side and had high power. In order to prevent his power from being too concentrated, Dong Du specially arranged for the general Liang De of Wu Ben to reconcile his military power and arranged for the county magistrate Cui De to give up his administrative power.

Cui De was born from the Cui family, one of the five wealthy families in Shandong. The Cui family was divided into two veins, one was the Cui family in Qinghe and the other was the Cui family in Boling. When the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the east and west, the Cui family in Qinghe was strongly assisted the Gao family in Qi, but many people from the Cui family in Boling went west to Guanzhong to assist the Yuwen family in Zhou. Zhou destroyed Qi, Sui usurped Zhou, and the Cui family in Boling always flourished and developed, while the Cui family in Qinghe declined because the rulers of Guanlong deliberately curbed and attacked the Shandong aristocratic group.

After the unification of Middle-earth, the Shandong nobles in Guanlong had a fierce power struggle with the Guanlong nobles and needed to seek the support of the huge Shandong nobles, and they all returned to the Shandong main hall. As the defeated Shandong nobles, they also urgently needed to rise again and rebuild their glory in the unified Middle-earth ruling class, and had strong demands and desires for the realization of the power and wealth of Middle-earth. Therefore, fathers and brothers who had served in different kingdoms abandoned their past grudges, shook hands and made peace, and reconciled. Whether the Shandong people had served in Guanlong or those who were sticking to their locals, their strength increased greatly, posing a serious threat to the Guanlong nobles group that could affect their dominance. The struggle between the two major aristocratic groups became increasingly fierce, and political storms also rose one after another.

Dong Chun is a nobleman in Longxi, and Cui De was originally a nobleman in Shandong. How could the two not fight? This kind of "fight" is often not due to conflicts in ideas, strategies, interests, and personalities, but purely because of the opposing aristocratic group that fights for the sake of fighting. If you say east, I just say west, you say south, I just say north, I just want to fight against you, and the result can be imagined.

Cui Deben received an urgent report that there was Yingyang Mansion army to attack Longcheng. This was too ridiculous. Dong Chun was not there, and no one to suppress Dong Jun and Wei Yunyue, the conflict was open and the fight began. You two want to fight and find a secluded open space to beat me. If you beat me to death, it has nothing to do with me. But if you fight in Longcheng, it will harm the innocent. That's not right. Are you arrogant and bullied me, Cui Deben, and slapped me, Cui Deben in the face? It's unbearable. If you hit me in the face, I will beat me back hard. Anyway, your Dong Chun's good life is over. If you don't take any harm this time, I'm sorry for my hard work for so long.

Cui Deben invited a subordinate and asked him to go to Zuo Xiaowei. The Yingyang Guards under your jurisdiction fought each other, causing trouble to Longcheng. Should you take care of it? If you turn a blind eye to it, you will report to the Dongdu and ask the Holy Lord to take charge.

When Dong Jun heard this, he sneered, "Where is your turn to be an outsider to point fingers in the affairs of my Wei Mansion? Get out of here. Longcheng is in chaos, it's better to be in chaos. Wei Yunyue, please wait for death."
