At the end of November, Li Fengyun commanded the alliance army to suddenly enter Jibei County, cross the Jishui River, and surrounded Dong'a and Lucheng on the south bank of the Great River. For a moment, the situation in northwestern Shandong suddenly became tense. After hearing the news, Zhang Xutuo, the county magistrate of Qi County, urgently dispatched several troops outside to suppress the thieves and rushed back to the capital Licheng to prevent any accidents.

Just as Zhang Xutuo was busy dispatching troops, Li Fengyun captured Lucheng, and then he continued to lead the three armies of the inner palace to cross the frozen river and enter Hebei, and immediately launched an attack on Liaocheng in Wuyang County.

Liaocheng was caught off guard and never expected that the rebels from Qilu would enter Hebei, nor did he expect that thousands of rebel soldiers would rush over like a tide. After only a few hours, Liaocheng was in a fall.

Lu Mingxing led the Fifth Army of the Alliance to station Liaocheng on the north bank of the Dahe River, the Third Army to station Lucheng on the south bank of the Dahe River, and the Fourth Army to station on the north bank of the Dahe River, in the middle to support.

Li Fengyun led the three armies of the inner government, the first and second armies of the outer government, and continued to head north into Qinghe County, and quickly advanced towards Yongji Canal.

On the second day of December, the alliance army contacted the Qinghe Rebel Army. On the night of that day, Li Fengyun and the leader of the Qinghe Rebel Army Wang Anchu met on the banks of the Majia River.

Before crossing the river, Li Fengyun had a detailed understanding of the Hebei rebel army.

Hebei's rebel army is divided into three parts, some are active on the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, including Yang Gongqing of Handan, Deren, and Li Wenxiang of Wei County, Ji County; some are active on both sides of the Yongji Canal in the Qinghe and Pingyuan counties. Among them, Gao Shida, who gathered in Gaojipo and Dou Jiande is the most famous. On the south bank of Yongji Canal, there is the Qinghe Rebel army headed by Zhang Jin, a native of Qinghe, who is called Zhang Jinshu brothers, and Pingyuan Rebel army headed by Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Du Yanbing and Wang Run; and some are active in Hebei.

Bohai County, Bohai County is located in the east, Hejian in the north, the plain in the west, and Qi in the south, and the profit of fish and salt is very rich, and salt is a monopoly. Local tyrants actively smuggled in order to compete with the government for profit, and the conflict between black and white is fierce. This is also one of the main reasons why the Bohai Uprising Army flocked to the Bohai Sea. Among them, Liu Badao, Li Deyi, Sun Xuanya, and Shiguigui who gathered in the Douzigang area in the southern Bohai Sea have the greatest influence, while Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao, Zhang Junli and other heroes gathered in the Yanshan area in the northern Bohai Sea are also very powerful.

After the alliance crossed the river, its main cooperation object was the Qinghe Rebel Army. The Qinghe Rebel Army was also a loose alliance. Among them, Zhang Jin said that the Zhang Jinshu brothers were the strongest, and the little coach Wang An whom Li Fengyun met was a local tyrant in Linqing County, Qinghe County. He had nearly a thousand people under his command. Because the strength difference between him and the Zhang brothers was too great, he could only follow the leader of the Zhang brothers.

In the past year, the Qinghe Rebel Army has not only repeatedly suppressed the rebellious forces, but has continued to grow and grow. During this year's Eastern Expedition of the Holy Lord, the Qinghe Rebel Army also adopted a modest plundering strategy for the Yongji Canal that crossed its territory, and there are many things worth pondering. After the winter, Duan Da, the general of the Left Guard, suppressed the rebellion in Hebei, and the primary goal was Qinghe County, which was nominally suppressed the rebels on both sides of the Yongji Canal, but in fact it was targeting the wealthy families in Qinghe.

There are many wealthy families in Hebei, and there are countless second- and third-rate and even lower-ranking nobles. Among them, the northern nobles were headed by the Cui clan of Boling, the Li clan of Zhaojun as the tripod pillar in the middle and east, and the Cui clan of Qinghe in the south. Now, the Li clan of Zhaojun is no longer in glory and is on a "downhill road". The Cui clan of Boling is frequently hit, and it seems to be glorious, but in fact it is full of dangers and difficult steps. Only the Cui clan of Qinghe occupied the glory of the royal relatives, especially at the critical moment when the foundation was unstable when the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he helped and gained a lot. This made them the most powerful among the three aristocratic groups in Hebei, and therefore became the selection army for the fierce confrontation between Shandong and Guanlong people.

The powerful Qinghe Rebel Army, Pingyuan Rebel Army, Gaojibo Rebel Army and Bohai Rebel Army are all concentrated south of Yongji Canal, all in southern Hebei. They have repeatedly suppressed unfairly in the past year, and the reasons behind this are about to emerge.

The trees are fascinated by the forest and the wind will destroy them. The aristocratic group in southern Hebei naturally became the primary target of the Guanlong people. The aristocratic people in southern Hebei, led by the Cui clan of Qinghe, were not afraid of it and fought back fiercely. Especially after the sharp sword of the "Rebel Army", the political struggle became even more bloody and cruel.

Duan Da came in a fierce momentum, heading straight for Yongji Canal, stationed troops at the Qinghe River, the Changhe at the junction of Pingyuan and Xindu counties, and in the Zhangnan area, relying on the food and grass weapons continuously transported from Yongji Canal, commanding the army to attack Gaojipo on the north and south sides of Yongji Canal, Qinghe and Pingyuan Sangu Rebel Army. Pingyuan Rebel Army did not dare to stop its sharpness, and took the lead in retreating to Douzigang, joined forces with Douzigang Rebel Army to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Gao Shida and Dou Jiande of Gaojipo also did not dare to fight head-on with the official army, decisively retreated eastward, and went upstream along the Zhangshui River.

Duan Da chased and led his army into Qinghe County. In the name of suppressing the bandits, he launched a large-scale killing of local nobles and wealthy people suspected of "teaching bandits".

The people of Qinghe were furious. Zhang Jin said that at the urging of the support behind their backs, the Zhang Jinshu brothers joined forces with Gaojibo Rebel Army and resolutely fought with the official army in Zongcheng area. The first battle was lost. The rebel army decisively changed its strategy, broke it into pieces, and made full use of its own advantages to fight guerrilla warfare. The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate, but the second eastern expedition was imminent, and the garrison army in the capital might head north at any time, which was very unfavorable for the rebel army.

At this moment, Li Fengyun led the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance to cross the Hebei region and entered the Hebei battlefield. Logically this should be good news for the Hebei Rebel Army, but Li Fengyun did not see a trace of joy from Wang An's face, but only nervousness and anxiety.

Why is Wang An nervous? Why is he extremely uneasy?

Li Fengyun and the southwestern Shandong rebel army led by him are now famous, but this "fame" is notorious and notorious. The reason is very simple. This summer, Li Fengyun led his army into the Central Plains. This summer, when Henan was drought and people were living in poverty, there were countless refugees, starving people everywhere, and attacking cities and villages, burning, killing and looting. The result can be imagined. The Dongdu and local county governments have an excuse not to provide relief, and even if the local aristocratic bureaucrats are willing to help, they are powerless. Facing the attack of the rebel army, it is good to escape, but there is no way to take care of the refugees struggling on the line of life and death? Refugees are even more pitiful. Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, only by escaping homes can they have a glimmer of life. However, the road to escape is too long and the danger on the road to escape is too great, so corpses are everywhere and life is devastated.

Who is the charge of the devastating creatures in Henan? Of course, it is not from the Holy Lord and the Dongdu, nor from the local governments and bureaucrats. It is of course from the alliance between Li Fengyun and the Rebel Army.

This is an era when information transmission is very backward. The public opinion in this era is controlled by the government and bureaucrats, and by the knowledgeable and cultural gentry. From their position and viewpoint, Li Fengyun and his rebel alliance are of course guilty, with great crimes and unforgivable crimes. So in a short time, the white-haired thief Li Fengyun and the army he led are notorious and well-known.

In fact, if Li Fengyun did not enter the Central Plains and did not cause trouble in Henan, the number of deaths in Henan might be greater, because during the Western Expedition, Li Fengyun carried up to millions of victims, opened granaries, and finally rushed to the Tongji Canal. These victims who rushed to the Tongji Canal finally arrived in the wealthy Yuzhou and received assistance from the Yingru nobles and rich people. Without the Second Eastern Expedition, some of these victims might be returning to their homes in order to "prepare for the war" of spring plowing and prepare for more people to return to their homes, but at present, this has become a luxury.

In order to raise the money, grain and corvee service needed for the Second Eastern Expedition, the Dongdu and the local governments will ruthlessly squeeze the last drop of blood in Henan and "kill" the wealthy Yingru area. All Henan people who struggle to survive will become fresh "sacrifices" for the Second Eastern Expedition. Fortunately, the local governments in Dongdu and Henan have long blamed Li Fengyun and his army for all the crimes that have happened and are about to happen, and have long lost their concerns about "killing". In the official propaganda, those Henan people have long died under Li Fengyun's butcher knife.

Li Fengyun is the murderous demon king, the real version of Asura, so it is normal for Wang An to be afraid of the arrival of Li Fengyun and the Rebel Alliance.

At present, the Qinghe people can still control the situation south of the Yongji Canal, but with the emergence of Li Fengyun, with the foreseeable large-scale burning, killing and looting, and with the complete outbreak of conflicts between local governments and local forces, as the Guanlong people and Hebei people started a bloody frontal battle, the situation south of the Yongji Canal will inevitably be out of control, and the Hebei people are at a disadvantage in today's situation. Once the situation is out of control, the first person to be hit will be the Hebei people, especially the Qinghe rebel army, who will inevitably become victims of political compromise between the Dongdu and the Hebei rich families.

What made Wang An extremely uneasy was Li Fengyun's purpose of suddenly breaking into Hebei. As far as he knew, Li Fengyun was fighting fiercely with King Yang Nan of Qi in Xuzhou, why did he suddenly arrive in Hebei? Did he defeat the war in Xuzhou and chased him to Hebei in one breath by King Yang Nan of Qi, or did he fail to stand in southwestern Shandong after the defeat, and had to retreat to Hebei? This was the case with Wang Bo from Qi County. He was beaten by Zhang Xutuo and had nowhere to hide, and finally had to escape from Hebei. But Wang An had already seen Li Fengyun's army, which was a highly morale and energetic army, a fully armed and murderous army, an elite army from the Dongdu Guard Mansion by his scout, and an army that did not look like a defeated army. Therefore, Wang An could conclude by intuition that Li Fengyun appeared in Qinghe and appeared on the battlefield of Yongjiqu, and must have an ulterior motive.

After a few greetings between the two sides, Wang An gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage, and asked carefully, "What do you mean by the general who came across the river to the north?"
