What Liu Xuan wanted was Li Fengyun's promise. Seeing that Li Fengyun was so generous, he gave Li Fengyun a promise without hesitation, "If you save the Hebei rebel army in danger, I will only follow your leader."

This promise is heavy. Li Fengyun's promise is limited to the battlefield of Zhangqiu, while Liu Xuan's promise is the future. As long as Li Fengyun saves the Hebei rebel army, he will give the rest of his life to Li Fengyun. This exchange is a sure profit for Li Fengyun, and of course he has to do his best.

The alliance is about to go north and enter Hebei to develop. If it can win the support of Liu Xuan and get his help, the alliance will gain a foothold in Hebei, and even its development speed will be greatly accelerated. After all, the elites of this era are the gentry, and knowledge and culture are in the hands of the gentry. "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world" is actually "those who win the gentry will win the world". Liu Xuan is not only a representative of contemporary knowledge and culture, but also a spokesperson for the interests of the gentry. His thin body actually contains tremendous energy. If Li Fengyun can get this tremendous energy, his strength will definitely have a qualitative leap.

Li Fengyun did not refuse or say polite words, but just gave a deep tribute and respected Liu Xuan for making a shocking promise.

This is an exchange and it is also an investigation by Liu Xuan on Li Fengyun. Although Liu Xuan has reached the end of his journey, it does not mean that he does not have the courage to fight to the death. It is just that courage cannot be turned into strength after all, so Liu Xuan always maintains rationality and patiently seeks opportunities. Li Fengyun had taken the initiative to invite him before, but good birds choose trees to live on, and wise ministers choose masters to work. At that time, Liu Xuan was not optimistic about Li Fengyun. It was not until Li Fengyun's true identity was known to him that he regarded Li Fengyun as a target for consideration. Therefore, he crossed the river and planned to get close.

Observe Li Fengyun. However, the situation changed too quickly, and he had to change his plan and had to die and make a big bet. If he won the bet, he would have the opportunity to wash away his shame before leaving this world and clear his innocence. If he lost the bet, he would lose his reputation for his lifetime. In fact, his "evil name" had long been slandered by the people of Guanlong. Except for the unshakable status of the master in scriptures and literature, the rest were all so dark that they could not be black anymore. It would be impossible to be famous for the eternal period. Therefore, if he lost the bet, he would be a devil for thousands of years. Compared with the two, he would only laugh at a hundred steps.

"Sir, do you have a way to save me?" Li Fengyun took the initiative to ask for advice.

Liu Xuan did not hide it, and told the concerns, fear, despair and the response measures made under this negative mentality of the Hebei heroes. At present, only Sun Xuanya insisted on attack, while Liu Badao and others were ready to "run away". It can be foreseeable that when personal interests override the interests of the team, even if Liu Xuan sent back the good news, it would be difficult to expect them to attack at all costs and regardless of losses.

"But they know that if they flee the battlefield first, the Qilu people will also escape. The Qilu people will not help them escape back to Hebei at the expense of themselves, so they will definitely attack and help you restrain some of the official troops. So whether you can defeat Zhang Xutuo in this battle lies in whether you and the Qilu people will devote all your strength to attack Zhang Xutuo."

Li Fengyun had no expression on his face, but he was secretly sneering in his heart. Is Liu Xuan too naive or confused? If he wants to defeat Zhang Xutuo on the battlefield of Zhangqiu, the three rebels must work together. Only in this way can he bring his advantages to the extreme. However, now the Donglai Navy is supporting him, only more than 100 miles away from the battlefield of Zhangqiu. If Zhou Fashang's speed is fast enough, the main force of the navy will be able to reach the north bank of the Ji River tomorrow. Under such a tense situation, even if the rebels work together, they will never be able to defeat Zhang Xutuo in one day, so this battle can no longer be fought. If they insist on their own, they will definitely be bloody and defeated.

"If Mr.'s plan is to succeed, he must first completely block the news that the Donglai Navy cut off the river waterway. He cannot let Wang Bo and Meng Rang and other Qilu Haoshuo Shuai know that the battle situation in Qi County has undergone great changes that are not conducive to us." Li Fengyun looked at Liu Xuan and shook his head with a wry smile. "Mr. should know that Wang Bo has many brothers in Douzigang, so he is sure that Wang Bo will receive this amazing news immediately, and then..."

Liu Xuan frowned and felt extremely heavy. He was negligent. How could such terrifying news be hidden? After Qilu Haoshuai learned about it, he distrusts the people of Hebei even more. Instead of continuing to fight and killing the people of Hebei, it is better to evacuate first and throw the people of Hebei to the government army to fend for themselves. In other words, when the news of the Donglai Navy cutting off the river waterway came, the strategy of the three rebels attacking Zhang Xutuo had lost the conditions for implementation. Now the three rebels were panicked and were about to scatter and flee their lives.

"Where will the plan come out?" Liu Xuan asked.

"In today's crisis, there are only thirty-six strategies to leave and withdraw." Li Fengyun waved his hand and said decisively, "Zhang Xutuo tried to achieve his achievements in one battle, but we did not fulfill his wish. He scattered and went his separate ways, leaving him with nothing to get anything."

Liu Xuan was frowning, "Will this give the government troops a chance to defeat each other? In the short term, you have Mengshan Mountain to temporarily avoid, Wang Bo and others also have Changbai Mountain to hide, and there is no danger of destruction, but what should we do if we Hebei people? Zhang Xutuo and the Donglai Navy must pursue each other and surround them and kill them from all sides, while we Hebei people are surrounded by numerous sieges, with no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, and destruction is imminent."

"Isn't someone the rescuer of Hebei people?" Li Fengyun smiled, "Sir, imagine what if our three rebels suddenly evacuated from the battlefield in Zhangqiu? If Zhang Xutuo followed and killed the Hebei people, will the Donglai Naval Division still land? If someone was the commander of the naval division, he would definitely give up landing and go upstream along the river to cut off all retreat routes of Hebei people. In this way, the warships and forces of the Donglai Naval Division will be scattered on the river that is hundreds of miles long, and there is no possibility of landing and fighting."

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up and realized something, "The navy was trapped in the waterway of the river and was unable to support Zhang Xutuo. In this way, Zhang Xutuo had to encircle and suppress the three rebels alone. By then, he not only lost the power to defeat each other, but also had to beware of the three rebels joining forces to surround him." Liu Xuan suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "Zhang Xutuo wants to return to Licheng, and he must show his weakness by defending and waiting for assistance to show his weakness to the enemy, lure the three rebels to the city of Licheng. If the three rebels fall into a trap, he will join the Donglai Navy and King Yang Nan of Qi, and then attack from the north and south, joining the inside and outside, so as to encircle and annihilate the three rebels at the city of Licheng."

Liu Xuan suddenly realized this, "It turns out that you want to use King Yang Nan of Qi to give Zhang Xutuo a fatal blow.

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "What if King Yang Nan of Qi suddenly sent troops to seize Licheng, what should Zhang Xutuo do?"

"Zhang Xutuo is homeless." Liu Xuan smiled and said, "There is no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside. Zhang Xutuo is in trouble. The battle situation suddenly reversed, and victory is at your fingertips."

"What do you think of this plan?" Li Fengyun asked.

"Good" Liu Xuan praised, "But I have a question, does King Yang Nan of Qi dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and snatch Licheng from Zhang Xutuo?"

Li Fengyun smiled meaningfully, "I have a tacit understanding with the King of Qi. Mr. should have expected this, so please be content with sir, so please be content and wait and see."

"I will follow your plan in this way." Liu Xuan said decisively, "I immediately sent someone to cross the river to send a message."

Li Fengyun urgently summoned the commanders of the army and formulated a withdrawal plan in the shortest time. Then he wrote the plan in code and handed it over to a disciple of Liu Xuan to the north bank of the Jishui River.

Then Li Fengyun quickly made an appointment with Wang Bo, Meng Rang and other Qilu Haoshang to inform him of the new changes in the battle situation, and explained in detail the new strategy he had formulated, hoping to win the recognition and acceptance of Wang Bo and others. Wang Bo and other heroes caught him off guard, and the rapid changes in the battle situation made them frightened. Fortunately, Li Fengyun kept his promise and did not betray his allies. He was still trying his best to fight against the official army. No matter what Li Fengyun's real purpose was, it was already rare for him to take into account the overall situation and take into account the interests of all rebels, and work together with everyone.

At noon, Li Fengyun took the lead in evacuating, and the alliance army came quietly and left quietly again, silently.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Bo evacuated Taicheng and rushed to Gaotang to join Meng Rang and Zuo brothers, then turned around and ran wildly towards Changbai Mountain. Almost at the same time, Guo Fangyu and Qin Junhong also evacuated Xiaoliang City and rushed to Beihai.

Zhang Xutuo, who was under Zhangqiu City, watched the Qilu rebels disperse, and was surprised and had a premonition. Sure enough, in the afternoon, the Hebei rebels on the north bank of the Ji River also began to evacuate. They were very panicked and messy, heading west along the Ji River.

Zhang Xutuo immediately sent a scout to inquire about military information from the Dahe line, and sent envoys to Licheng to inquire about the news. Since the Qilu rebel army surrounded Zhangqiu, Zhang Xutuo had lost contact with Licheng, which made him very worried. He was worried that King Yang Nan of Qi would take advantage of the fire to rob. Once King Yang Nan of Qi occupied Licheng, he would not only be himself who suffered a fatal blow, but the entire Qilu region and even the political situation in the Eastern Capital would be affected, and he could not bear the blame.

When several messengers from Yeli City appeared at Zhangqiu City. The reason why they failed to arrive at Zhangqiu as soon as possible was that Zhangqiu was surrounded by three sides of the rebels, but on the other hand, they entered the battlefield of Zhangqiu because of the white-haired thieves. Now the white-haired thieves have retreated and headed straight to Licheng along the avenue. These messengers hiding nearby have safely arrived at their destination.

Zhang Xutuo was shocked. The white-haired thief entered the battlefield of Zhangqiu? King Yang Nan of Qi really had a "tactic understanding" with the white-haired thief. His target was indeed Licheng. Licheng was in danger. More importantly, if the rebels suddenly evacuated Zhangqiu, it was not because the Donglai Navy cut off the river waterway, then the rebels' target was most likely Licheng. The white-haired thief intended to give King Yang Nan of Qi an excuse to seize Licheng.

Zhang Xutuo did not hesitate and decisively ordered to abandon Zhangqiu and immediately cross the river. After following the Hebei rebels, he chased and killed the Hebei rebels while approaching Licheng. If the Donglai Navy had blocked the Dahe River waterway and its main force had crossed the river, he would join forces with the Navy to attack the Hebei thieves, and then join forces to fight against King Yang Nan of Qi. In this way, even if Licheng was trapped by King Yang of Qi, there would be a navy to share some of the crimes for him.

In the early morning of the 14th, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin led the electoral army to pursue, and Zhang Xutuo also arrived on a raft to the north bank of the Ji River. At this moment, what he was most worried about was no longer the safety of Licheng, but whether the Donglai Navy had entered Qi County.

Just when he was anxious, the navy messenger came over. Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed and opened the letter impatiently, but the line of code words that caught his eye were like a basin of cold water poured from the head of his pocket, making him cool from the inside to the outside.
