Zhang Xutuo took the Qi army to kill and suddenly surrounded Ningyang City. When the sun rose, the news spread to the Cangtou Army camp thirty miles away.

Li Fengyun immediately ordered to set up camp and rush to Ningyang to rescue friendly troops.

When the soldiers heard the news, they all secretly called luck, especially those who complained that Li Fengyun gave the food, silk and other spoils from Ningyang City to friendly forces, were even more ashamed. If they did not firmly follow the orders of the white-haired coach to evacuate Ningyang yesterday, they would inevitably have a conflict with the friendly forces that rushed into Ningyang City to grab the spoils. In the chaos, they were suddenly attacked by the official army. The consequences can be imagined and the entire army would be wiped out.

The white-haired general not only expected the enemy to be the first, but also kept his mind clear when he was at the advantage. Seeing the crisis hidden in it, he decisively abandoned the "fat meat" that was hidden, jumped out of the trap, and saved the Cangtou Army. This really made the soldiers grateful and admired. However, the situation of the war changed again, and Zhang Xutuo and Qi army returned, while Duan Wencao and Lu army had been hiding in Xiaqiu City to wait for their work and ready to go. The official army once again occupied the upper hand and seized the initiative in the battlefield. In this case, the Cangtou Army went to Ningyang City with limited strength to rescue friendly troops, which was equivalent to jumping into the trap again. Just wait for Duan Wencao and Lucheng to break out of Xiaqiu City and form a joint attack with Zhang Xutuo and Qi army. Then the Cangtou Army would definitely be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Not only could it not save the friendly troops in Ningyang City, but it was also in danger of being wiped out of the entire army.

However, no one dared to question Li Fengyun's orders. Since the establishment of the Cangtou Army, all Li Fengyun's decisions have been correct, and his impressive record has allowed him to enjoy supreme authority in the army. With the strategy of the White-haired Commander, it is impossible for him to pay a heavy price to rescue those despicable and shameless friendly troops, so the worried soldiers carried out Li Fengyun's orders without hesitation. They believed that since the White-haired Commander ordered them to rush to Ningyang to rescue friendly troops, even if there were Zhang Xutuo and his Qi army under Ningyang City, even if Duan Wencao and Lu army would fight to Ningyang at any time, the White-haired Commander would have a complete solution and would never fall into a desperate situation or commit suicide.

Xiao Yi is a unique existence in the Cangtou Army, and only Xiao Yi questioned Li Fengyun's orders. He found Li Fengyun at the first time. Li Fengyun was already neatly dressed, holding a horse whip and holding a white horse ready to go on the road.

"General, wait." Xiao Yi was anxious and grabbed Li Fengyun's arm. "General, Ningyang is still a trap. Zhang Xutuo is waiting for you to rescue, just when you arrive in Ningyang and attack him, that is, when Duan Wencao leads Lu army to kill Xiaqiu. General, the plan of the official army has been clear at this point. If you go to rescue Ningyang, it is equivalent to falling into a trap, and the entire army will be wiped out."

Xiao Yi originally admired Li Fengyun very much. Yesterday, Li Fengyun firmly threw away the "fat meat" in his mouth, took the Cangtou army out of the trap, and issued a warning to the friendly forces entering Ningyang. On the surface, Li Fengyun's series of actions were normal, but in fact, this was Li Fengyun's open plot to use Zhang Xutuo's sword to severely damage the friendly forces. As the battle situation has developed to the present, he can even maliciously speculate that Li Fengyun won the Ningyang at all costs because he wanted to use the greed of the friendly soldiers to lure them into Ningyang, let Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao "eat" them, and let the official army win the victory of this battle. Then Zhang Xutuo will leave Lu County, and Lu County will once again restore the situation where Duan Wencao and Mengshan Rebel Army confront each other. With the strength of Li Fengyun and Cangtou army, it is already an amazing record to successfully break through and preserve their strength in this encirclement of the official army.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's guesses were overturned by Li Fengyun's orders. Li Fengyun actually ordered to rescue the friendly troops in Ningyang City. Wouldn't this be killed? With Li Fengyun's talent, how could he not see the clear battle situation? Since that's the case, why did Li Fengyun seek death?

Li Fengyun couldn't help feeling a hint of generosity when he saw Xiao Yi's anxious expression. Before, the Twelve Lady of the Cui family made Xiao Yi still in Mengshan, but he had a temporary intention and had an emergency intention. Xiao Yi was a playboy, but he did not realize the secret envoy. Li Fengyun was very dissatisfied and secretly instructed Xu Shisan to "harden" Xiao Yi. As a result, Xu Shisan successfully completed the task and the "hardening" was very successful. He turned a playboy into a talent in a short time. At this moment, Xiao Yi came to dissuade him regardless of everything. It was the responsibility of his secret envoy. He must ensure the existence of the Cangtou Army. If the Cangtou Army was wiped out and gone, wouldn't Cui's layout in Qilu and Xuzhou be lost? Xiao Yi is mature, and it can be seen that the quality of the environment can directly affect a person's growth.

"Xiao Lang, didn't you say that Zhang Xutuo was forced to leave after the battle due to the harsh situation in Qi County?" Li Fengyun said with a leisurely smile.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi understood Li Fengyun's intentions. Zhang Xutuo was eager to return to Qi County. For this reason, he not only left immediately after fighting, but also preserved his strength as much as possible. Based on this, he concluded that after completing the attack deployment, Duan Wencao and Lu Army would fight the next fierce battle. However, Duan Wencao and Lu Army still remained in Xiaqiu City. Then, Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to attack Ningyang City and wipe out thousands of rebel soldiers including Han Jinluo. In this way, Duan Wencao received the credit for suppressing the rebellion and suppressing the bandits without spending one soldier, and also preserved his own strength and would maintain a greater advantage in the subsequent battle with the Cangtou Army.

When Li Fengyun saw Xiao Yi thinking, he added, "Didn't you say that if you want to seize the food in Ningyang City, you must defeat Duan Wencao?"

Xiao Yi suddenly realized that at this point, the trap of Ningyang City had already played a role. Whether it was Zhang Xutuo or Li Fengyun, Duan Wencao and the Lu army needed to be dispatched immediately, but Duan Wencao was very treacherous and still remained in Xiaqiu City. His intention was very obvious. He just sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, hoping that Zhang Xutuo and the rebels would suffer both losses, and then he went out of the city to clean up the mess, and the fisherman would benefit. Just imagine, in this case, would Zhang Xutuo still fight to the death? If the Qi army lost more than half, even if he wiped out the rebels completely? Duan Wencao was the one who made the profit, but he had to face the bad situation in Qi County and even Shandong. Once the rebellion was not effective, it would affect the expedition of the Donglai Navy Division, he would be done.

It can be inferred that Zhang Xutuo was in a dilemma under Ningyang City at this moment, and he hated Duan Wencao who was plotting against him. At this time, Li Fengyun led the Cangtou army to attack outside Ningyang City with a fierce momentum, forming an internal and external attack with friendly forces in the city. What should Zhang Xutuo do? Should he fight or not? There are only disadvantages and no benefits to him. Since that is the case, will he still fight?

Li Fengyun asked two consecutive questions, so that Xiao Yi could think broadly. Don’t look at the situation of the war and do not think that it is not good for the rebels, but in fact, the fighter’s opportunity is hidden in the crisis, it depends on whether you can seize those fleeting opportunities.

"I've been taught." Xiao Yi bowed and thanked Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun waved the whip and smiled, "I said that it's easy to beat Duan Wencao."

Yuan An happened to come over and smiled when he heard this, "The key is to lead the snake out of the hole. If Duan Wen can't get out of the city, Ming Gong's words will become a joke."

Li Fengyun laughed and flew onto a horse.

Yuan An also got on the horse and walked with Li Fengyun.

"Tell all regiments to advance in combat queues and prepare to enter the battle at any time." Li Fengyun gave an order.

The commander rushed away.

"Ming Gong, Zhang Xutuo is very brave. If the Qi army conquered Ningyang City in one go, the situation would be unfavorable to me." Yuan An said worriedly, "In addition, if Duan Wencao broke out of Xiaqiu City at this moment, the situation would definitely take a sharp turn."

Li Fengyun nodded repeatedly, "We are outside the trap and we can move forward and retreat freely. If the situation of the battle is not good, we can only retreat to Mengshan."

"In this way, the loss will be great." Yuan An sighed.

Li Fengyun looked solemn, and a hint of worry flashed through his eyes. The losses mentioned by Yuan An not only included the casualties of the Cangtou army in attacking Ningyang City, but also the heavy blows brought to the Mengshan rebel army by Han Jinluo and other friendly troops after the annihilation of all the troops.

The reason why I had captured Ningyang City at all costs was to lure Han Jinluo and others into Ningyang traps, turning Han Jinluo and others into "bait", but the Cangtou Army took the opportunity to jump out of the trap and take the initiative. However, if Han Jinluo and others' army could not defend Ningyang City and would collapse at one touch under Zhang Xutuo's attack, then his plan to attack the enemy would be unable to be implemented.

Li Fengyun looked up at the red sun in the eastern sky, prayed secretly and prayed to heaven for help. As long as Han Jinluo and others firmly defended Ningyang, their plans would have the possibility of success. They could not only use the enemy's sword to severely damage the army of Han Jinluo and four other heroes, easily "eat" them and strengthen themselves, but also defeat the official army, grab food, occupy territory, and develop themselves.

The Cangtou Army must always be on guard against Duan Wencao and Lu Army coming out of Xiaqiu City, so they always remain highly alert and the marching speed is relatively slow.

Five miles westward, a scout lurking outside Ningyang City rushed over and reported to Li Fengyun that after two hours of attack on Ningyang City, the Qi army suddenly stopped attacking, and its main force was evacuating in the direction of Gongqiu.

Li Fengyun was a little confused. What did Zhang Xutuo mean? He stopped fighting after two hours? He stopped fighting without fighting, so why did he evacuate in a hurry? Are he worried that he would suffer too much loss after being attacked by our army and being attacked from both sides?

"Is there any movement in Xiaqiu?" Li Fengyun asked hurriedly when he saw Yuan An galloping from behind the team.

"No, Duan Wencao is still hiding in the city." Yuan An's tone was quite anxious. Duan Wencao never came out, so it would be difficult to fight this battle. "Ming Gong, can there be news about Ning Yang?"

"Ningyang is still in our hands, but Zhang Xutuo stopped fighting after two hours and was evacuating towards Gongqiu."

Yuan An was stunned. Zhang Xutuo evacuated? What does it mean? He stopped fighting after the start or the end? Or was there another plan?

"Ming Gong, where will the plan come out?" Yuan An asked anxiously.

"Go forward!" Li Fengyun raised the whip and pointed it forward, saying loudly, "If Duan Wencao cannot leave the city, Zhang Xutuo will not evacuate. If he evacuated without authorization, it would be like Duan Wencao to catch the handle. So he concluded that Zhang Xutuo was angry. It was false to force Duan Wencao to leave the city. It was true. The orders were ordered to fly to Ningyang, and Zhang Xutuo would not hit us."
