Chapter 328: Liu Heitan's Doubt

Li Fengyun was determined to work hard on the battlefield of Qi County. It was not that he was kind-hearted, but that if he could defeat Zhang Xutuo and severely damage the Qi County official army, although it would not fundamentally change the difficult situation of the Qilu rebel army, at least Li Fengyun himself fulfilled his promise to King Yang Nan of Qi and helped him control the Qilu area, which would be conducive to the next cooperation between the two sides.

In addition, the Dongdu mutiny was about to break out soon. Donglai Navy and King Yang Nan of Qi were going to fight in the Dongdu battlefield, which gave the Qilu Rebels enough time to breathe. With this period of buffering, the Qilu Rebels should have a great development. Once the Qilu Rebels become more powerful, they will pose a threat to Dongdu and effectively distract Dongdu's attention, so that Dongdu will not focus all their attention on the rebel alliance that has entered Hebei's development, which will obviously help the alliance to develop in Hebei.

Li Fengyun's statement was beyond the expectations of the Qilu heroes. What is concealing the world? To put it bluntly, Li Fengyun's retreat was fake, and confronting the Lu County battlefield with King Yang Nan of Qi. The main force of the alliance was actually hidden in the Qilu rebel army, and they attacked Zhang Xutuo with Qilu rebel army. In other words, Li Fengyun was more honest than Qilu heroes. So far, he is still doing his best to promote the attack of Zhang Xutuo between the three rebel army in order to control Qilu and grab a piece of territory for the rebel army.

As a result, everyone was happy, and the atmosphere in the tent quickly became warm, and the specific arrangements for the Qi County War were also planned one by one. Next, the heroes and soldiers returned to the tent, each performing their own duties, and became busy.

Meng Rang and the Zuo brothers cooperated with Li Fengyun. Both sides immediately sent messengers to the north bank of the Dahe River, urging Wang Bo and Hebei Haoshang to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Donglai Navy and King Yang Nan of Qi did not enter the battlefield of Qi County, and quickly head south to fight and seize the opportunity.

In February, on the north bank of the Great River, at the Lijin Ferry outside the Lihe City in Bohai County, rebels gathered, and more than 100,000 troops were in the river valley, flags were flying, drums and horns were noisy, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita, Du Yanbing, Wang Run, Bohai Douzigang, Liu Badao, Li Deyi, Sun Xuanya, Shi Juegu, and Wei Lu Wang Bo, a total of nine rebel leaders gathered in the tent to discuss the plan to go south.

Wang Bo, who was over thirties and elegant and outstanding, read out letters from Li Fengyun, the commander of the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance, and Meng Rang, the leader of the Changbaishan Rebel Army, and the Zuo brothers, and then explained in detail the current situation in Qi County.

Li Fengyun's alliance army had about 60,000 soldiers, and Changbaishan Rebel Army and Beihai Rebel Army were about 30,000 soldiers, who were besieging Licheng. Zhang Xutuo, the county magistrate of Qi County, gathered about 20,000 infantry and cavalry to defend Licheng, defending and waiting for assistance. The war was going on for many days, and the battle was very fierce.

Currently, there are two official troops that can provide strong support to Zhang Xutuo, namely the Donglai Navy Division and the 20,000-strong army of King Yang Nan of Qi.

According to the latest news from Donglai, the general manager of the Donglai Naval Division came to Huer and deputy general manager Zhou Fashang. He went to Jianghuai and Jiangnan to recruit Yingyangwei and recruit new soldiers a few years ago. He is now on his way back. He is optimistic that even if they are back, because the army is reorganized, the new and old troops are required to be trained, and the new soldiers are required to be trained. In addition, the time for the second cross-sea expedition is getting closer and closer, and the navy is unlikely to rush to the battlefield in Qi County in the near future. Therefore, the only King Yang Nan of Qi is really affected by the battle situation in Qi County.

At present, King Yang Nan of Qi is encircling and suppressing Mengshan in Lu County, and Li Fengyun has few troops left in Mengshan, so it is difficult to hold back King Yang Nan of Qi. If nothing unexpected happens, after the Hebei rebel army crossed Henan and headed south, Zhang Xutuo saw that the situation was critical and would inevitably ask King Yang Nan of Qi for help. The King of Qi would also enter the battlefield of Qi County as quickly as possible and launch an attack from behind the rebel army.

After consultation, Li Fengyun and the heroes of Qi and Lu asked for help from the Hebei heroes, hoping that they could cross Henan as quickly as possible and join the battlefield of Qi County. Three rebels attacked Zhang Xutuo. Of course, if King Yang Nan of Qi was asked for help from Zhang Xutuo, he also entered the battlefield of Qi County, Li Fengyun was responsible for blocking and resolutely left King Yang Nan of Qi on the battlefield of Lu County, thus giving the three rebels enough time to defeat Zhang Xutuo.

Liu Heita immediately raised a question, "I heard that since the White-haired Commander plundered Tongji Canal, King Yang Nan of Qi launched a siege and blockade against him. Although the two sides fought equally, no one could do anything to each other, it is an indisputable fact that the King of Qi has the advantage. In order to seize control of the Qilu area from the government, the White-haired Commander did his best to attack Qi County. What he was puzzled was why he believed that he could kill Zhang Xutuo by joining forces with us? The White-haired Commander brought the alliance army and just entered Qi County, King Yang Nan of Qi rushed into Lu County to encircle Mengshan and wanted to take off the White-haired Commander's nest. What he was also puzzled was that even if the White-haired Commander was full of confidence in Qi County, Mengshan was lost, which would harm him without any benefit, and would be a serious blow to his morale. Just imagine what if Qi County was defeated in this battle?"

The tall and strong Liu Heita is nearly thirty years old, very powerful and fierce, but in fact what he really admires is his wisdom. Liu Heita is resourceful. In the past, he was so involved in the underworld. People could only barely make a living by selling private salt, but he also made a fortune and monopolized the private salt transactions in the Yingji area. Now, when the flag is raised, most of the rich and powerful generals have difficulty in survival. Once they encounter the encirclement of the official army, they can only run away. However, Liu Heita is in a prosperous state. In a small area of ​​Pingyuan County, he "lived peacefully" with local governments, nobles and bureaucrats and various heroes, and lived happily.

Liu Heita's meaning is very straightforward, and Li Fengyun's promise is not trustworthy. Once he fails to stop King Yang Nan of Qi and the official army on the battlefield of Qi County has an advantage, this battle will be difficult to fight.

Wang Bo's little thoughts on all sides were clear at a glance, but he had no intention of entangling these branches and details. He only wanted to cross the river and go south, return to Qilu, and defeat Zhang Xutuo. For this reason, he could compromise and endure humiliation.

Wang Bo asked without hesitation, "What is the great idea of ​​the Han Donggong?"

Liu Heita looked at the heroes and coaches, showing his intention to seek advice. Hao Xiaode, Liu Badao, Sun Xuanya and others nodded and let Liu Heita make up his mind.

"We can't attack the city, we forcefully attacked the tough, and just happened to be Zhang Xutuo's treacherous plan." Liu Heita waved his hand, his tone unquestionable, "Tell the Baihai Shuai and Meng Shuai and Zhuxiong that we will not enter the battlefield of Licheng and help them attack the city together. That is a trap, we will not go."

Wang Bo's face changed suddenly. It was obvious that Liu Heita's opinion represented the ideas of the Hebei heroes. The Hebei rebels went south not to help the Qilu rebels kill Zhang Xutuo, but to take the opportunity to rob and fill their pockets, and they did not care about the will of the Qilu rebels and the lives of the Qilu people.

"Don't misunderstand what you mean." Liu Heita saw Wang Bo "changing his face", and immediately walked to the map and pointed to Licheng on the map and explained, "Look, the battlefield in Qi County is now in a deadlock. Zhang Xutuo is holding back and waiting for reinforcements, and Baihai Shuai and Meng Shuai and others cannot take Licheng either. At this time, both the enemy and us were praying for their respective reinforcements to enter the battlefield in Qi County to change the situation. Zhang Xutuo had two reinforcements, Donglai Navy and Qi King Yang Nan, while Baihai Shuai and Meng Shuai and others had only one reinforcement, that is us."

"It can be foreseen that as long as we start crossing the river, this news will be delivered to Zhang Xutuo as soon as possible and reached the ears of King Yang Nan of Qi. Let's make an assumption that if King Yang Nan of Qi quickly enters the battlefield of Qi County, the alliance army of Baihaishou will evacuate from Licheng and go south to block. At that time, with the power of Meng Shuai and others, will continue to attack Licheng? Of course not, and it will inevitably follow Li Fengyun and evacuate from the battlefield of Licheng to find fighter opportunities."

"Where is the fighter?" Liu Heita pointed his hand at the Jishui River on the map. "We go south, cross the river, cross the Jishui River, and then break into the hinterland of Qi County, and then join the heroes of Qi Lu, then attack the cities and villages, and plunder them wantonly, which will deteriorate the situation of Qi County in an instant. If Zhang Xutuo continues to defend Licheng, he will only lose control of Qi County. For this reason, he must leave the city, find us, and fight us to a decisive battle. Only by defeating us can he stabilize Qi County."

"When Zhang Xutuo comes out, the fighter plane comes." Liu Heita's hand drew a circle between Jishui River, Zhangqiu City and Changbai Mountain on the map, "The battlefield of the decisive battle between Qi County is here."

Hao Xiaode, Liu Badao and other heroes in Hebei were ambitious to understand, and Wang Bo knew it well. After all, Hebei people still wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and get the bargain for nothing.

As soon as the Hebei rebels crossed the river, the situation in the battle between Qi County changed, but the direction of the change was different from what the Qilu people expected. The strongest white-haired coach fought with the Qilu king Yang Nan, while Zhang Xutuo followed Meng Rang and other heroes of Qilu to kill Changbai Mountain. The Hebei people stood by the Jishui River and watched coldly, waiting for the two sides of the battlefield to fight to the point where both sides were injured. The Hebei people took advantage of the situation, "make a big deal" and turned around and left.

After careful consideration, Wang Bo believed that the situation might not be as pessimistic as Liu Heita analyzed, because the white-haired coach Li Fengyun was the one who really controlled the development of the battle in Qi County, rather than the self-righteous Hebei people. Wang Bo firmly believed that since Li Fengyun had actively planned the strategy of attacking Zhang Xutuo by three rebels as early as the end of last year, he would have to be fully prepared. Even if the Hebei people did not work hard and wanted to take advantage of the situation, Li Fengyun had the way and strength to defeat Zhang Xutuo. What he had to do now was what Li Fengyun urged in his letter, and let the Hebei rebels cross Henan immediately, which was the key.

"I immediately confessed to the White-haired Soldiers and Meng Shuai Zhuxiong, asking them to firmly block King Yang Nan of Qi to the south of Mount Tai, and the other took the opportunity to retreat to Changbai Mountain and make a move to join the Jishui River with the Hebei army, so as to lure Zhang Xutuo out of the city to chase and give the Hebei army a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy."

Wang Bo resolutely expressed his opinion, since you, Hebei people, must have my Qilu people as bait, then I will be a bait. I don’t believe that without the help of you, Hebei people, I, the Qilu people, would not be able to defeat Zhang Xutuo.
