Li Fengyun urgently told Han Yao in Nancheng and quickly led the rear army to Zhuanyu City to meet. As for the civil and military officials and troops who stayed in Nancheng, Han Yao had full authority to make arrangements, and there was no need to ask for instructions.

Li Fengyun decided to attack Biancheng immediately. The soldiers were very fast. Taking advantage of Lu County's lack of defense, Biancheng took advantage of the emptiness of defense, and seized Biancheng in one fell swoop, seized the northern pass of Mengshan, and won the initiative for the rebel army to survive and develop in Mengshan.

Li Fengyun ordered Chen Rui to lead two regiments to stay in Zhuanyu City and temporarily be responsible for the military and political affairs of the General's Mansion. When Han Yao rushed to Zhuanyu, Han Yao would be in charge of the General's Mansion.

After a night of rest, the next morning, Li Fengyun led the main force of the Sixth Regiment to head straight to Pangwei Mountain.

Zhuanyu City and Biancheng are about fifty miles apart, and between the two cities is Pangwei Mountain. Biancheng is at the foot of Pangwei Mountain, and the Sishui River, which originates from Pangwei Mountain, passes around Biancheng. Another Zhushui River, which originates from the main peak of Mengshan, meets Sishui under Biancheng City. Therefore, Biancheng is located between one mountain and two waters, and the terrain is very dangerous. At the same time, it is the gateway to Mengshan, and the throat connecting Lu County and Langya County. Its geographical location is also extremely important. There is a team of Yingyangwei stationed.

However, Biancheng is now an unguarded city.

After Wang Bo and Meng Rang went south from Qi County to Lu County, the situation in Lu County was in a hurry. Under the instruction of the prefect Duan Wencao, Zhu Yingyang of Lu County, except for leaving a regiment of troops to guard Xiaqiu, the other five regiments entered the line of Juping and Liangfu to stop the rebels from going south. The Yingyang Guard stationed in Bian City was also recruited to the north.

At dusk, the rebel army easily took the Paiweishan Pass.

The Pass of Pangweishan is the dividing point between Lu County and Langya County. It has access to and exits and an inn. There are only a few dilapidated houses, including the orders of the pass, the post general, etc., and there are less than ten people.

In the war years, this place was still very important. If the traffic aorta between Qilu and Xuzhou was interrupted, you could pass here to Linyi, reach Donglai above and Xuzhou below, and you could still connect Qilu and Xuzhou together. However, in the peaceful years, this place was neither a strategic location nor a wealthy place. There was no one paying attention to it. If there was no fee checkpoint here, the pass would have been abandoned long ago.

The rebel army rested at the pass overnight and asked about the situation in Biancheng from the Guan Ling and the post general. He heard that the army stationed in Biancheng had been away for many days, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Early the next morning, Li Fengyun sent a scout, disguised himself as a woodcutter in the mountains, and went to Biancheng to find out the news. Biancheng was a county before the unification of Middle-earth. At that time, Sishui City belonged to Bian County. After the unification, the county was re-divided. The two were reversed, Sishui City was changed to a county town, while Biancheng belonged to Sishui County. Therefore, Biancheng became a small town at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, with a sharp decline in population, but its city still had a certain scale. In addition, the dangerous terrain of two waters and one mountain, it could still bear the heavy responsibility of the gateway of Mengshan Mountain.

Biancheng was neither defense nor prepared. Of course, the rebels were familiar with it. They pretended to be the army of Yingyang Mansion, beat the drums and trumpets, and entered Biancheng in a swagger. They took the gateway of Mengshan without any effort.

At this point, the rebel army successfully advanced into Mengshan and completed the strategic idea of ​​moving to Qilu. The next step was to do its best to base themselves in Mengshan and take root in Mengshan. Only in this way can the rebel army solve the basic survival problem.

Li Fengyun ordered that after a short rest, the soldiers of each regiment would immediately devote all their strength to the city defense construction, and strive to build Biancheng and Pangweishan Pass as the core in the shortest time, relying on Sishui, Zhushui and Pangweishan three natural dangers, to build Biancheng into an unbreakable and solid fortress.

The soldiers were in a happy mood. Although they were exhausted and walking on thin ice, they had the advantage of taking the enemy's surprise attack, but they did not encounter any strong enemies during the process of advancing into Mengshan, and completed the attack target with a break. In the short term, their own safety was basically guaranteed, and they could stop and take a breath, have a good night's sleep, and have a good meal. However, everyone knew that the strong enemies were around, and the Weifu Yingyang in Qilu and Xuzhou were staring around Mengshan, just waiting for the Dongdu to figure out the situation and ordered the Weifu Yingyang in both places to fight with all their might. Then Mengshan would be surrounded by the enemy, and the most difficult days for the rebels would come.

In order to block the attack of powerful enemies, Nanwu City and Bian City entered the north and south passes of Mengshan, Nanwu City and Bian City, and then became the lifeline of the rebel army. Once the rebel army lost this lifeline, it could only escape into the deep mountains and forests, and escape into the deep mountains and forests. In the severe lack of food, defeat was just a matter of time.

To this end, after a full meal, after a brief enjoyment of victory, the soldiers of the rebel army immediately took the initiative and consciously devoted themselves to the construction of the city defense and tried their best to work hard for their survival.

Li Fengyun reported the victory in Zhuanyu City and told Chen Rui of the General's Mansion that the General's Mansion immediately focused all his energy on the formulation of Mengshan's defense strategy. Before the first heavy snow in winter, Yingyang from Weifu in Qilu and Xuzhou is very likely to attack Mengshan. The rebel army must be fully prepared for this. Never be blindly confident and optimistic by the victory in front of him, resulting in the failure of the survival plan.

Li Fengyun hurriedly wrote Han Yao again, and after the rebel army took Zhuan Yu and entered Mengshan, he immediately faced attacks from strong enemies from Qilu and Xuzhou. Dong Chun of Xuzhou would not give up the suppression of the rebel army easily. At present, the Xuzhou army is coming to attack Nancheng, and it is very likely to attack Nancheng. Once Nancheng is taken back by the enemy, the back of the rebel army will be exposed to the enemy's knife edge. Therefore, Li Fengyun believes that when the rebel army controlled Mengshan and built the entire Mengshan defense, Nancheng, together with Biancheng and Nanwucheng, became one of the three major passes of Mengshan defense. To this end, Li Fengyun asked Han Yao to leave the main force of Qiao army in Nancheng, and rely on the steep terrain of the mountains of Nancheng to build a defensive battle formation, which posed a threat to the northern part of Xuzhou while blocking the enemy's invasion in Xuzhou.

In the afternoon, the scouts sent more than 40 miles away to inquire about the military situation in Sishui City came back. There were no troops stationed in Sishui City, and there was no guard against the crisis whistling from Mengshan.

Will he fight Sishui City? Li Fengyun decided to fight without thinking. He had no choice. The rebel army was short of clothes and food, and Langya County was too poor, so he could only find a way from Lu County and Pengcheng County. However, the army of Pengcheng County was staring at the rebel army on the border. His only choice was to plunder in Lu County. It just so happened that the army of Lu County was on the front line of Wenshui, and was restrained by Wang Bo and Meng Rang's Changbaishan Rebel Army. The opportunity should not be missed, and he would never come again. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he would count as much as he robbed.

Li Fengyun ordered Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming to take two groups to fight Sishui City and do their "old business".

"After we capture Sishui City, will we continue to advance along the Sishui River to attack Qufu?"

After accepting the order, Lu Mingxing did not leave immediately, but asked a tentative question. The rebel army began to walk down Mangdang Mountain. Li Fengyun always commanded the army to fight on the front line, and never let someone leave his sight to lead the army alone. Attacking Sishui County is a big battle for the current rebel army, but Li Fengyun "let go" and let Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming lead the army alone. This may be the result of "deliberate thinking" for Li Fengyun. He has to let go when it is time to let go, otherwise the generals of the rebel army will not be able to grow up and be alone.

On the one hand, for Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming, after experiencing a series of thrilling battles, although they have matured a lot, they are no longer the scoundrels of the past, no longer know anything about military common sense, and have some understanding of military command. However, they also clearly saw the gap between themselves and the grassroots officers of Yingyang Mansion, and the gap between them and Li Fengyun made them even more afraid of leading the army alone. But at this time, Li Fengyun let them stand alone, and their uneasiness can be imagined.

Li Fengyun looked at Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming, who were nervous, and smiled slightly, "If you have any ideas, let's talk about it together. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang."

This is Li Fengyun's usual style. No matter how big or small the battle is, he always brings the officers around him together. Even if you are not qualified to participate in the discussion, you can listen and observe and learn to improve. It doesn't matter if you have no knowledge, and it doesn't matter if you are illiterate. However, if you don't have the ideas and means to analyze and judge the situation, and have rich combat experience, you will inevitably be eliminated.

"Since we turned to the battle of Qilu, we have been smooth sailing all the way. The key is to attack the enemy unpredictably. No one thought that the anti-army active on both sides of Tongjiqu would advance into Mengshan, and no one thought that an army in Eagle-Yang military uniform would be an anti-army."

As soon as Lu Mingxing said this, Guo Ming interrupted, "After leaving Qiao County, no one even knew that we raised the flag and rebelled in Qiao County."

"This is our advantage. This advantage can be used for a while." Lu Mingxing glared at Guo Ming with dissatisfaction and continued, "Sishui City should be unprepared. If nothing unexpected happens, we can go down in one go. From the map, Sishui City is located in the Sishui River Valley. It is located in the Sishui River Valley. It is sparsely populated and has limited fields. The plundering is definitely limited. However, after passing the plundering mountain and entering the Qufu territory, it is an endless plain. Qufu is a holy land of Confucianism, with scholars gathering, and there are also a high-level sect like the Kong family. It can be imagined its wealth. A few dozen miles away from Qufu is Xiaqiu, the capital of Lu County, and it has always been the center of Yanzhou. The granaries are abundant. If you can plunder it in large quantities, the income will definitely be extremely rich."

Li Fengyun nodded slightly, looked at Guo Ming who was eager to speak, and smiled, "Is Captain Guo also planning to kill Xiang Xiaqiu?"

"General, Sishui City is about fifty miles away from Fangshan, about seventy miles away from Qufu, and about one hundred and twenty miles away from Xiaqiu." Guo Ming pointed to the map and said, "We don't know how many troops there are in Xiaqiu, and we don't know whether Qufu has troops. If we rashly enter the central area of ​​Yanzhou and form a lonely army, we will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. Therefore, I disagree with the strategy of Lu Jiawei. I think our attack should stop at the foot of Fangshan."

Lu Mingxing was immediately annoyed and snorted coldly, "The general once said that after occupying Mengshan, he should take the initiative to attack Lujun County to attract Lujun troops and help Changbaishan rebels break through the blockade of the official army. If we hide in the mountains, do not attack Qufu, and do not plunder Xiaqiu, how can we achieve the goal of restraining the enemy?"

"We captured Biancheng, conquered Sishui City, and came to Qufu. This was enough to shock Lu County and attract Lu County's army." Guo Ming was not afraid of Lu Mingxing, glared at him and argued with reason. "The general said that although we advanced to Mengshan successfully, we were weak and vulnerable. Next, we must accumulate strength and accumulate strength, rather than being arrogant and attacking blindly, and use the lives of our brothers as a joke."
