The First Alliance Army entered the north bank of Jishui River in the early morning to set up defenses, and only took a rest before dawn. Before the soldiers fell asleep, they heard the sound of drums on the other side of the river. Teams of officials walked out of the tent and attacked the river.

Lu Mingxing did not sleep all night and was exhausted, but in order to cooperate with the main force to cross the river north, he had to force himself to fight. He discussed specifically the feint attack with Xiahou Zhe, the First Army Commander and Cao Kun, the Second Army Commander. The three of them were born as a thief in Jianghuai, and their life and death brothers rose up in Mangdang together and followed Li Fengyun to fight in all directions. Now they are strong and confident, and they are no longer the same as Ameng in Wu when they were.

According to Li Fengyun's requirements, the feint attack must be both well-behaved and control losses. However, in addition to the three main forces directly under the General Administration of the General Administration, the thirteen armies of the three governments lack combat experience and weapons, and have no combat power at all. They can make a bluff, and it is purely a death-taking to pull it to the battlefield. Even if it is a feint attack, it is difficult to complete. At the critical moment of life and death, you should not expect the new recruits to have organizational discipline and orders. The three of them thought hard, anxious and uneasy, and although they were exhausted and hungry, they had no sleepiness and no desire to eat. Just when the three were frowning and at a loss, the scouts urgently reported that the official army on the other side had been dispatched and wanted to cross the river to attack.

The three of them were worried and looked surprised in their eyes. Lu Mingxing waved his hand and called on his personal guards to quickly bring wine and meat, eat and drink enough to fight.

The purpose of the rebel army's feint attack crossing the river was to attract Wei Yunqi's attention and restrain the main force of the official army. Now that Wei Yunqi takes the initiative to launch an attack, Lu Mingxing is of course happy. This easily achieves the purpose of feint attack, but the situation of the battle has changed as a result, and many established policies must be adjusted in time.

"The government army suddenly launched an attack. Did you find that my main force went east?" Xiahou Zhe frowned deeply, thinking. Xiahou Zhe was already thirty years old, with a thin body and a pair of sharp eyes on his rough face. When he and Lu Mingxing and others caused trouble in the Jianghuai River, he became famous for his careful thinking, deep scheming and many tricks. After the Mangdang Uprising, he made many military achievements and was well-known in the Cangtou Army and was highly appreciated by Li Fengyun.

Lu Mingxing looked at him and smiled, "No need to worry. Last night, tens of thousands of troops were in and out of the north bank of the Ji River. Even if the official scouts noticed it, they would judge that our army was about to cross the river, and would not infer that my main force was quietly heading east. Taking a step back, even if the official scouts discovered that some of my troops were heading east along the river and had some guesses about their movements, they would not have thought that the army was the entire main force of my."

"Brother, although Wei Yunqi's attack is beneficial to me, if we miscalculated the situation and failed to accurately determine the purpose of Wei Yunqi's attack, the consequences would be unimaginable." Xiahou Zhe solemnly warned, "If Wei Yunqi knew that my main force was going east through a secret channel, he would do his best to cross the river and attack, and give me the first and second army a head-on attack, the situation would be reversed. Even if the Ming Duke had the talent to understand the sky and the earth, he would probably be unable to turn the world."

The smile on Lu Mingxing's face gradually dissipated, and his eyes showed a solemn look. After hesitation for a moment, he turned his eyes to Cao Kun. Cao Kun was tall and strong, with a ferocious scar on his right cheek, and a pair of murderous eyes made his face fierce and daunting.

"Our army was too big last night, and the government army could not know nothing." Cao Kun waved his hand and disagreed. "From my guess, Wei Yunqi must have had many speculations. In order to confirm his guess, he decided to launch an attack to find out the truth."

"The real one is empty, and the virtual one is real." Lu Mingxing curled his lips disdainfully, "No matter what the purpose of Wei Yunqi's sudden attack was, some people will not fight him. Some people have no strength and can't fight, only retreat, he advances and I retreats and I retreats. He wants to play, some people will play with him, let him use all his strength, and he can't find out what is virtual and what is real."

Xiahou Zhe nodded, "Since brother has made a decision, then follow his orders."

Lu Mingxing decisively ordered, "Tell the first army units to not fight with the enemy. If the enemy crosses the river, retreat across the board. Order the second army to immediately set up camp and prepare for evacuation."

"I urgently report to Gong Ming and the Grand General Office. The enemy suddenly crossed the river and attacked. The battle situation suddenly changed. A certain general evacuated and continued to deal with the enemy with the purpose of restraint. If the enemy went south, a certain general would join the General Officer Meng, retreat to Cangyuan and Xiao Huang's line, and attack the enemy with Gong Ming from front and back. If the enemy retreated immediately and intended to find out the reality of the situation, a certain general would launch a counterattack against the enemy according to the pre-determined plan to achieve the purpose of restraint."

"I will report to General Meng again on the front line. If our army has to withdraw from Kuragaki, please ask his camera to support us to ensure that our army retreat safely."

The attacks of the government army were loud and the raindrops were small. Although the momentum was very strong, the morale of the soldiers was not strong and the struggle was not high. The reason why they had to cross the river to fight was purely due to Wei Yunqi's pressure. Wei Yunqi was the deputy chief of the Censorate, and pointed directly at the embroidered clothes, holding the power of killing and seizing. Disobeying his orders was purely seeking death.

More than a hundred ships loaded with soldiers sailed off the shore and headed towards the opposite shore amid the deafening drums.

Xiahou Zhe, the commander of the First Army of the Alliance, stood on the embankment on the north bank. Seeing that the official army began to cross the river, he ordered the evacuation. Fifteen regiments of the three governments retreated five miles away, and only one regiments left with cameras on the front line to act.

The official army successfully crossed the river, without shooting an arrow or a soldier, and the opening was auspicious. The morale suddenly rose, and the leader of the regiment, who was arrogant and conceited, immediately shouted to chase after him. Yang Qian, who was commanding the attack across the river, did not hesitate, ordered the attack to advance, attack instead of defense, and gave the subsequent army enough time to cross the river.

The official army advanced three miles.

The rebel army retreated again. Xiahou Zhe led five regiments of 1,000 soldiers to keep a five-mile distance from the official army, while the remaining 3,000 soldiers retreated ten miles away to join the Second Army of the Alliance, and slowly retreated under the unified command of Lu Mingxing.

Yang Qian did not dare to advance again, worried that the army would go deeper and fall into the siege of his opponent. The scouts successively rewarded him, and the bandits evacuated all over the line, calmly and orderly. Yang Qian was sure that the opponent was fully prepared and there must be a trap ahead, so he urgently reported to Wei Yunqi.

Wei Yunqi felt very difficult to receive the news.

Last night, the North Bank thieves were frequently mobilized, and it was suspected that a large number of bandit troops had entered the North Bank position. The white-haired bandits were about to cross the river, so Wei Yunqi became increasingly determined to cross the river and attack.

This battle is to be defeated, but the purpose of defeating the battle is not only to "use oneself as bait", to make the thieves in Henan rampant, to put Tongji Canal into a cut-off crisis, and to let some political forces in the Eastern Capital reveal the truth about the intention of destroying the Eastern Expedition to the world. It also needs to take this opportunity to severely damage local forces in Henan, to give a fatal blow to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and to give Shandong people a blow.

However, beyond his expectations, the North Bank thieves retreated without fighting, and his idea of ​​killing Henan people with the hand of the white-haired thief was dashed. Wei Yunqi's first idea was that there would be traitors under the tent. If the Zheng family of Xingyang established a "tactic understanding" with the white-haired thieves through secret channels, then there would definitely be traitors under his tent. Henan people would never let Wei Yunqi kill people with a knife and slaughter them all. This led to another question: This battle would definitely be defeated. Wei Yunqi deliberately sought defeat, and Henan people were determined to kill Wei Yunqi. So how could this Henan army survive in defeat?

Wei Yunqi immediately had a guess. Zhai Rang and the Wagang thief army were an important force among the local forces in Henan. If this force is used well, it will not only allow the Zheng family of Xingyang to control the situation in Henan and even the front line of Tongji Canal with the arm, but also allow the Zheng family of Xingyang to cleverly maintain its vested interests. If the situation in China and Turkey suddenly changes and the world is subverted, then this force can also ensure that the ancient large ship of the Zheng family of Xingyang can sail smoothly in the stormy waves.

Since Zhai Rang and the Wagang thief army are so important to the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Henan aristocratic group, they will inevitably be vigorously supported. Zhai Rang just rebelled, and the Wagang thief was not strong enough and urgently needed to develop and grow. The Henan army by the Jishui River needs people and weapons, which is just enough to meet the development needs of the Wagang thief? It is speculated that the white-haired thief is "empty", the Wagang thief is "real", and this Henan army is the "internal response" of the Wagang thief. Just wait for the time to be ripe and the Henan people cooperate with each other, the battle is over, and their heads become the trophy of the Wagang thief.

Wei Yunqi repeatedly deduced and became more and more confident in his guesses. In order to verify, he ordered Yang Qian to continue attacking and moving forward.

Yang Qian also deduced the changes in the battle situation. The white-haired thief retreated without fighting, revealing many hidden secrets, and these secrets are directly related to the fierce game between the political forces in the Eastern Capital in Henan. Wei Yunqi's order to continue attacking actually proves Yang Qian's interpretation of the current battle situation.

The official army continued to advance until the rebel camp stationed. The rebel camp evacuated and all the supplies were moved away, which was enough to show the determination of the white-haired thief to "not fight". Since the white-haired thief had no intention of crossing the river to attack, what was his purpose of "bluffing" on the north bank of the Ji River? Yang Qianfu thought a lot, and the most credible guess was that the white-haired thief "bluffing" was just to cooperate with the Henan people to take Wei Yunqi's head.

Wei Yunqi decided not to let the Henan people succeed in his conspiracy. In the afternoon of the same day, he issued an order to cross Henan and attack the entire army, and chased and killed the rebels.

When Li Fengyun received the news, he was about to cross the river from Jiyang to the north, but the sudden change in the battle caught him off guard.

Li Fengyun's first thought was the same as Wei Yunqi, and he suspected that there was a spy inside, otherwise Wei Yunqi would never be able to cross the river and attack. When the main force of the rebel army gathered in the north bank of the Ji River, Wei Yunqi's crossing of the river was equivalent to dying, but when the main force of the rebel army left, the situation was different. Wei Yunqi could completely catch the rebel army off guard.

"There is a traitor?" Xiao Yi also reacted the same way.

"Impossible." Li Mi shook her hand. Although we were very disturbed last night, there were very few people who knew the secrets. Except for us, other generals and generals did not know the real purpose of temporary defense change. They did not know until dawn that we were going to Jiyang, so there was no possibility of leaking the secrets. According to somebody's judgment, it should be that General Manager Lu's big step back, which allowed Wei Yunqi to make a new deduction on the Jishui battlefield, and then made a new inference on the situation in Henan, which led to him quickly changing his attack strategy."

Li Fengyun thought for a moment and said to Yuan An, "I urgently complain to the Wagang brothers. The situation of the battle suddenly changed. Please quickly advance to the south bank of the Ji River, choose a place to cross the river, and decisively move south."
