The Cangtou Army captured Ningyang, and the situation of the war was unfavorable to the government army. The bad result was as Kong Zhongqing said before. If the battle was to attack, it would be a tough situation. The government army suffered too much losses, but if it was not attacked, it would be allowed to plunder the thieves to plunder. Duan Wencao would definitely not be able to escape the blame for the ineffective suppression of the rebellion.

Duan Wencao was in a dilemma. In this case, he had to preserve his strength. At the same time, he needed Zhang Xutuo to attack Ningyang. Only by letting Zhang Xutuo's Qi army fight with the bandit army suffer a loss can he have a chance to reverse the crisis. Otherwise, whether it is to fight or not, he will do more harm than good, and he will not be able to reverse the crisis, and he will not be able to get rid of the future predicament, just like falling into a swamp, no matter how hard he struggles, he will die.

Duan Wencao was in trouble because of his loss of Ning Yang, but Li Fengyun, who got Ning Yang, was also in trouble.

Yuancheng was only more than thirty miles away from Ningyang. Han Jinluo and four other heroes widened their eyes and stared at the Ningyang battlefield at all times.

Ningyang has food. As long as you conquer Ningyang and grab the food, you can solve the stomach crisis. Because of the stomach crisis, the army of Han Jinluo and four other heroes was panicked, with a low morale, and was at risk of collapse at any time. Because of this, they dared not rush to attack Ningyang City, and even rejected the suggestion of gathering the main forces of each army to attack Ningyang City by Li Fengyun. Their reason is very simple. Those who can do more work, Cangtou army has enough food, and of course the Cangtou army will be attacked by Ningyang City. We will stand by the side to cooperate and help you restrain the official army. However, according to the agreement when forming an alliance, the spoils will be shared by those who see each other, and ours will be a share of the food in Ningyang City.

The battle was fought by others, and after the battle, he would grab the spoils. This "fallac" was actually accepted by Li Fengyun. The four heroes of the great men were of course happy and did not hesitate to flatter him. The generals of the Cangtou Army were furious and immediately questioned Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun calmly, and described the current situation, the future situation, and the difficulties of the survival and development of the rebels one by one. Finally, he came to a conclusion that if the rebels want to grow rapidly, they must unite all the forces that can be united. Even if they make huge sacrifices and pay a huge price for this, it is worth it. After all, rebellion is not the goal, but a means to achieve lofty ambitions. For a good life in the future, they must grit their teeth and bear things that people cannot bear.

The truth makes sense, but doubts are still doubts, anger is still angry, and the contradictions within the alliance are getting deeper and deeper.

With the conquest of Ningyang City, this contradiction finally broke out.

The news of the Cangtou Army conquering Ningyang City was immediately passed to the four heroes. Under the pressure of the stomach crisis, the four heroes made the same decision without thinking and rushed into Ningyang City to grab food. Although Li Fengyun promised that the trophy would be the part of the person who saw it, there was still some possibility of fulfilling this promise after Mengshan fell into a grain shortage? The four heroes believed that it was impossible.

This alliance was an unscrupulous one. The Qi people were begged to the Chu people and looked up to the Chu people. This was the humiliation of the Qi people. What made the four heroes even more dissatisfied was that after the alliance, Li Fengyun used the food in his hands and used some despicable means to quickly win the favor of most of their soldiers. Then he used the certain degree of trust these soldiers had in him to firmly suppress the four heroes, which made the four heroes feel very aggrieved. Therefore, the four heroes all had the intention to disband, just wait for the situation to improve, and immediately parted in their own way, fight each other, and continue to be their own boss. If Li Fengyun kept suppressing this, the four soldiers would sooner or later be eaten by Li Fengyun to the point of not even leaving their bones.

The four heroes sent their confidants to spread the news of Cangtou's conquering Ningyang City and spread rumors that Li Fengyun wanted to take over the food in Ningyang City. Now Cangtou's army is carrying the food with all their might. If they empty all the food, the others will be happy, get nothing, get nothing, and continue to endure hunger.

Hunger made the soldiers of the four armies lose their minds, and they were furious. They forgot that if it were not for Li Fengyun's rescue, they might have become lonely ghosts now. Amid the deafening insults, people had the idea to go to Ningyang and grab food. Soon, this idea turned into practical actions. The four rebels held high the battle flags and ran wildly on the plains, rushing towards Ningyang City with great momentum.

When the Cangtou Army captured Ningyang, of course, it was necessary to carry out plundering and move the food away. Everyone knew that the rebel army was not strong enough now and could not resist the official army. Although this battle was won, it could not change the power balance between the two sides. Groups of official troops would immediately pounce from all directions, so when the official army had not yet arrived, the amount could be moved.

However, Li Fengyun issued an order that surprised the soldiers, not to plunder, nor to spend the effort to transport food, to rectify the team immediately, and to fight more fiercely.

The reason is very simple. The scout had already found the traces of the Qi army in the Chengcheng area on the west bank of the Bingshui River. From this, it can be judged that Zhang Xutuo did not withdraw back to Qi County, but hid in the reed marsh in Maodudian, ready to come over at any time, and gave a fat blow to the exhausted Cangtou army, which was damaged by the loss of soldiers and generals. In addition, the main force of the Lu army in Xiaqiu City has not been dispatched. Thinking of Zhang Xutuo hiding in Maodudian less than a hundred miles away, it is not difficult to infer that Ningyang City is a trap, and Duan Wencao must have an east-west attack with Zhang Xutuo. Therefore, the Cangtou army had no choice but to throw the fat meat in the mouth temporarily and continue to fight. As long as one of Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo, the battle situation will be reversed, and the Cangtou army can capture Ningyang City again. At that time, the food in Ningyang City truly belonged to the rebel army.

The Cangtou Army soldiers have followed Li Fengyun for half a year and have witnessed a series of miracles created by Li Fengyun. They respect Li Fengyun as a god. Even though they were surprised and surprised by Li Fengyun's orders, they still followed without hesitation.

Since the rebellion, the soldiers have been struggling on the line of life and death. They have a deep understanding of the simple truth that "people have lost their land, and people have lost their land; people have lost their land, and people have lost their land." Leave the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of no firewood or death, then nothing will be gone. As long as people live, everything is possible. The food in Ningyang City is indeed important to the rebel army, but it is not important to the lives of the rebel soldiers. As long as their lives are still there and the army is still there, there is enough opportunity to capture the city and plunder the food.

The Cangtou Army "sweeps" Ningyang City as quickly as possible. In addition to the grain, silk and other supplies in the warehouse, other spoils such as weapons, gold and silver were swept away, and then quickly retreated to the camp outside the city, set up camps, and prepared to rush to the new battlefield.

At this moment, the Jibei Army and the Dongping Army rushed over with a rainbow of momentum, with a sound of killing shocking the sky, and they roared all the way into Ningyang City where the city gate was wide open.

The soldiers of the Cangtou Army were stunned at first, then furious and scolded sternly. It is not impossible to pick peaches when taking advantage of the situation. However, the Lu army was in Xiaqiu City dozens of miles away, relying on these friendly troops to restrain the Yuancheng. However, in order to seize the spoils, these friendly troops ignored the safety of the Cangtou Army and rushed over, without considering the consequences at all. They were so despicable and shameless that they were still friendly troops?

Li Fengyun seemed to have expected it, and ignored it and ordered the army to set off immediately and rushed to Yuancheng immediately.

Now that friendly troops rushed into Ningyang City to grab food, the Cangtou Army had to go to Yuancheng to monitor and block the Lu army in Xiaqiu City on their behalf, otherwise these friendly troops who wanted food but were desperate to live would be in danger.

For personal gain, Han Jinluo and four other heroes urged their soldiers to give up their positions and rush into Ningyang City to grab food and compete for spoils. This is wrong in itself. It will not only intensify the conflicts within the alliance and destroy the alliance, but also change the situation and bring a catastrophe to the rebels. Once the situation worsens, they still need Li Fengyun's help and need the refuge in Mengshan. Therefore, the four of them cannot turn against Li Fengyun for the time being, nor can they let the alliance break. For this reason, they pieced together a lot of reasons and planned to make excuses when Li Fengyun was furious. Considering that Li Fengyun also needs their help and needs this alliance, they also do not want to break up with them. The four of them are still confident in the excuses they pieced together.

However, the development of the situation is completely different from their expectations. Li Fengyun was not angry, and the Cangtou army did not argue with them. The grain and silk were still piled in the warehouse in Ningyang City without any movement, which surprised and happy the four heroic soldiers and their soldiers. What was surprised was why Li Fengyun and Cangtou army did not want food? Why did they hand over the food to themselves? Did Li Fengyun and Cangtou army really become living Bodhisattvas who save all living beings? Happy that their purpose was achieved. They had obtained food. Although they were obtained by cheap, how could they not take advantage of it?

What happened next made the four heroic coaches and their soldiers feel incredible.

The Cangtou Army withdrew and left Ningyang City. Why is this? There was no dispute or conflict between them. Ningyang City was captured by the Cangtou Army. The amount of food and silk in the city is very large and no one can take it alone. It must be that the person who meets it will have a share, but why does the Cangtou Army not have spoils?

Han Jinluo and four other heroes immediately found Li Fengyun, looked apologetic and took the initiative to apologize. There was no way, the soldiers were hungry, their morale was disintegrating, and their morale was sluggish. As the commander, they had actually lost control of the army, and this collapsed scene occurred. Fortunately, they were in danger and there was no conflict between the two sides, which was a blessing in disguise.

Li Fengyun remained silent and said nothing. After listening to their explanation patiently, he could not tell at all the joys and angers, which made Han Jinluo and others secretly panic.
