The news that Zhang Xutuo's army left Bocheng and went straight to Juping along the avenue was conveyed to Wang Bo and Meng Rang at the first time.

At this moment, Wang Bo was in a secluded valley above the Wenshui River and met Duan Wencao's secret envoy. A few dozen miles away, Meng Rang was listening to the report of the scout Du Fuwei outside Fenggao City.

The news brought back by Du Fuwei surprised and happy Meng Rang. A rebel army in Xuzhou raised a flag to rebel and rushed out of the Xuzhou official army and successfully advanced into Mengshan. Meng Rang was not surprised that there were rebels in Xuzhou. Now there are more and more flags in the Great Henan and the north and south of the Great Henan. It is normal for rebels in Xuzhou to have rebels. However, under the encirclement of the official army, this rebel army did not choose a shortcut to cross Huai south, but instead went thousands of miles to fight in Qilu and rushed into Mengshan in front of Changbai Mountain. This is what Meng Rang was very surprised.

There are many coincidences in the world, but it is not a good thing, it depends on whether it is beneficial to you. Xuzhou rebels advance into Mengshan first, which is of course a good thing for Meng Rang and Changbaishan rebels. Of course, the premise is whether Xuzhou rebels take the initiative to attack Lu County as Du Fuwei reported, attract and restrain some Lu County official troops, thereby creating opportunities for Changbaishan rebels to go south to Mengshan.

Li Fengyun? He had white hair? He was young. Meng Rang frowned and tried hard to search in his memory. But he was sure that he had never seen this person or heard of this person. However, according to Du Fuwei, Li Fengyun seemed to have some understanding of him and Wang **. What happened?

Meng Rang is forty years old this year, a native of Zhangqiu, Qi County, and a child of an official. He also had ideals and ambitions when he was young. However, under the background of Guanlong people's containment and attacks on Shandong people, ordinary officials like him have no chance to make a name for themselves. Whether they are in the army or in the officialdom, they can only work hard at the bottom. Since it is difficult to develop in the career of the officialdom, then make money. It is good to be a local rich man and enjoy life. Meng Rang made a fortune, but he was also targeted by local officials from Guanlong. Unfortunately, Meng Rang hated Guanlong people and would rather spend all his family's wealth than

He was willing to take advantage of the people of Guanlong. The people did not fight with officials, and the consequences of fighting with officials were very tragic. Meng Rang knew this truth, but he vowed not to look back. As a result, the government simply accused him of a crime and destroyed his family. Meng Rang fled everywhere, killed people and robbed people, and gradually made a bad reputation on both sides of the Jishui River. A group of desperate people gathered around him. Wang Bo raised the flag to rebel. He was the first to respond, leading his army to attack Zhangqiu three times, vowing to take revenge, but Zhangqiu was safe and sound all three times because of the timely rescue of the county magistrate Zhang Xutuo.

Meng Rang's blood hatred has not been avenged so far. The hatred has tormented his heart day and night, making him feel painless. However, from raising the flag to now, he has not been getting closer and closer to Zhangqiu, but farther and farther, which has forced him to calm down and think about why reality runs contrary to wishes? The key to strength is strength, but how can we strengthen our strength? He has no answer, and he cannot see hope in the future. He fell into boundless darkness, waiting for the arrival of death helplessly in fear and confusion.

Du Fuwei was Meng Rang's little fellow villager. When Meng Rang was in Zhangqiu's prosperity, Du Fuwei was still a little shepherd. The two had no chance of intersection, but fate was so magical. Just when Meng Rang led his army to attack Zhangqiu for the first time, Du Fuwei appeared in front of him. Meng Rang's family had already been destroyed, and Du Fuwei was also lonely. The two people in Zhangqiu were both sick and compassionate, and before they knew it, they had a trace of vague closeness.

Meng Rang trusted Du Fuwei for this and believed in the news that Du Fuwei brought to him. Du Fuwei had been freely in the camp of the Cangtou Army for an afternoon and heard many stories about Cangtou and Cangtou Army. Now he has reposted these stories to Meng Rang in original place. Meng Rang guessed that the Xuzhou rebel army had done many "major events" on both sides of Tongji Canal, especially the plundering of heavy troops and the annihilation of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion. From this, it can be inferred that the strength of the Xuzhou rebel army must have exceeded that of the Changbai Mountain rebel army.

Meng Rang strengthened his determination to go south to Mengshan. Meeting the Xuzhou rebel army in Mengshan should be the only way to strengthen his strength at present.

When Meng Rang sent someone to tell Wang Bo the good news, Wang Bo was also sending someone to pass on bad news to Meng Rang. Duan Wencao, the prefect of Lu County, issued a solemn warning to the Changbai Mountain Rebel Army through a secret channel that the Qi people should not kill Qi people, nor should they let their relatives hurt and their enemies be happy. Duan Wencao asked them to kill back to Qi County and promised to give "care" at the appropriate time.

Meng Rang hated the Guanlong people and did not believe in the nobles of Qi and Lu. The nobles of Qi and Lu, especially those of Duan Wencao, were vested interests of the dynasty. In order to protect their own interests, they would only treat the rebel army as tools and victims. The so-called "care" is "care" based on safeguarding their vested interests. They would never support the rebel army to overthrow the Great Sui Dynasty and destroy the country's destiny. Once China and Earth split, life will be devastated, how can they safeguard their vital interests?

Meng Rang urgently wrote to Wang Bo, warning him not to fall into the treacherous plan of the government. At this moment, the rebel army was in trouble, lacking clothes and food, and people were dispersed, and they were in danger of destruction at any time. They were unable to confront Zhang Xutuo's army head-on. Only by going south to break through and breaking into Mengshan with the support of the rebel army in Xuzhou was the only way to survive.

Wang Bo rushed to Meng Rang's army in a hurry.

The news brought by Du Fuwei was so shocking, and most of them were true. Because when the Changbai Mountain Rebel Army entered Lu County, Duan Wencao not only did not send anyone to warn the rebel army, but instead Chen Bing Juping and Liang's father made a move to attack the rebel army with Zhang Xutuo. But suddenly, Duan Wencao made an abnormal move, not only sent secret envoys to warn the rebel army, but also promised to give "care". There must be a reason behind this, and the most likely reason was that Duan Wencao was in a certain dilemma. The news brought by Du Fuwei just confirmed Wang Bo's speculation.

Wang Bo galloped on his horse and encountered a team of scouts on the way. Fu Gongyou was among the scouts.

In the howling mountain wind, Wang Bo listened carefully to Fu Gongyou's statement and asked in detail about many details. Finally, he determined that after the Xuzhou rebel army captured Mengshan, it was indeed possible that after the Xuzhou rebel army was heading north to meet Changbaishan rebel army. The promise made by Cangtou general Li Fengyun to Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou should be true. It is easy for Xuzhou rebel army to be based in Mengshan, but it is difficult to develop and grow, because they are not from Qilu people and it is difficult to get support from Qilu people in the short term, but if they meet with Changbaishan rebel army, this dilemma will be fundamentally improved.

Wang Bo was in a dilemma and was helpless.

Wang Bo is from Zouping, Qi County. He is over 40 years old and comes from an ordinary official family. His life experience is very similar to Meng Rang. When he was young, he worked hard and had a great future. However, because he was in the wrong team, he was imprisoned in an official storm in Qi County and almost lost his head. Finally, he was released from prison. He wanted to be a local rich man to live his life, but local bureaucrats were thinking about his property again. He took advantage of the East to collect taxes and labor service and set up a trap for him to get into. Wang Bo had just fallen into this trap, but the local bureaucrats had not yet taken action to "close the net", and a flood fell from the sky. Zouping was located between the Dahe and Jishui, and was extremely severely affected. Wang Bo fell into the trap of the government in front, and was looted by natural disasters. He was desperate and rebelled in anger.

The purpose of rebellion is to survive. Where is the way to survive now? Should I go south to mongshan or return to Qi County?

Wang Bo rushed to Meng Rang's army and discussed in detail with Meng Rang.

Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou met again, and the two returned to the army successfully, one after another, only one day after another, but Fu Gongyou followed the Xuzhou rebel army to fight in Mengshan and brought very definite news to Wang Bo and Meng Rang.

Meng Rang was determined to go to Mengshan, while Wang Bo was hesitant. Although the Xuzhou rebel army would go north to respond, the Changbaishan rebel army was in a difficult situation, with interception in front and pursuers behind. Once they were surrounded by the official army, with the morale of the current rebel soldiers, they would definitely be defeated without fighting and the entire army was wiped out. The rebel soldiers were all from Qi County, and most of them were victims of the disaster on both sides of the Ji River. If they returned to Qi County, they would arouse the struggle between the soldiers, and perhaps the chances of victory were greater.

When the commission could not be decided, the scout suddenly reported urgently, Zhang Xutuo led his army to leave Bocheng and ran along the avenue to Juping.

Zhang Xutuo let the "Tao"? There must be conspiracy in the incredible things. Since Zhang Xutuo drove the rebel army out of Qi County and chased Lu County all the way, how could he put down the knife of killing?

Meng Rang believed that this was a conspiracy between Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo to encircle and suppress the rebel army, but Wang Bo believed that after the Xuzhou rebel army entered Mengshan and launched an attack on Lu County, the situation in Lu County changed. From this change, it can be estimated that Duan Wencao had to withdraw Juping and Liangfu's troops from the front line to Sishui, in order to ensure the stability of Lu County, in order to ensure the stability of Lu County, Duan Wencao had to withdraw Juping and Liangfu's troops from the front line to the Sishui and launch a counterattack against Xuzhou rebel army. After the Lu County troops evacuated from Juping and Liangfu's lines, it was equivalent to making way for Changbaishan rebel army to go south to Mengshan. However, Duan Wencao did not want to see the two rebel army joining, which would bring immeasurable consequences to Lu County. Therefore, on the one hand, he sent envoys to warn Wang Bo, and on the other hand, he put pressure on Zhang Xutuo to Juping and helped him stop Changbaishan rebel army from the south to Mengshan.

"For Zhang Xutuo, driving us into Mengshan will do all the benefits but no harm to him. How could he let us go back to Qi County?" After hearing Wang Bo's analysis, Meng Rang couldn't help but sneer, "Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo must have set up a trap in Bocheng and waited for us to jump in."

Wang Bo shook his head, "Duan Wencao is a native of Qi. If Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo join forces to surround us, it will inevitably affect his reputation among the nobles of Qilu, which will harm him without any benefit. Therefore, even if Bocheng is a trap, it is also a trap set by Zhang Xutuo. However, since Duan Wencao has made a promise to us, he will definitely take advantage of the situation in Lu County to restrain some of Zhang Xutuo's troops and create opportunities for us to fight back to Qi County."

"You know that Bocheng is a trap, why do you still jump in?"

Meng Rang was furious and couldn't help but question him sternly.

"Do you think Duan Wencao will let us break through Juping, Liangfu's line and head south to Mengshan?" Wang Bo smiled bitterly, "Why did Zhang Xutuo go to Juping? Because Juping is also a trap. We will inevitably be blocked by Juping, Liangfu's line. At that time, whether it was Zhang Xutuo's ambush left by Zhang Xutuo in Bocheng or Duan Wencao who was attacking Xuzhou rebels on the Sishui line, they would flock to him. Even if we broke through Zhang Xutuo's block at any cost, we would still be surrounded by the official army on the north bank of Sishui."

Meng Rang leaned over and looked at the map without saying a word.

"We went south to Mengshan and completely turned against Duan Wencao. Duan Wencao started from his own interests and would inevitably join forces with Zhang Xutuo to surround and kill him. If we go to Bocheng to fight back to Qi County, we will only have Zhang Xutuo, and at least half of his troops are located in Juping and Liangfu's line, which will give us enough time to break through."

As soon as Wang Bo finished speaking, Meng Rang asked sneeredly, "If we were blocked from Bocheng and failed to break through before Zhang Xutuo rushed back to Bocheng from Juping, wouldn't the entire army be wiped out?"

Wang Bo pondered without saying a word, and after a long time, he asked, "What are your plans?"

"Please use the trick." Meng Rang said, "Since Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo set two traps for us, we must take advantage of them, otherwise wouldn't they have to waste their efforts?"

Wang Bo immediately understood what Meng Rang meant, and immediately showed a look of emotion on his face, but a hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. After all, Meng Rang still wanted to go to Mengshan and returned to Qi County without intention. Perhaps in Meng Rang's view, there is still a hint of hope to go to Mengshan, but where is the hope to return to Qi County?

Meng Rang urgently summoned Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, told them that they had decided to go south to Mengshan, and ordered the two to go to Mengshan immediately for help from Xuzhou rebels, begging the white-haired coach to go north to respond quickly.

Du and Fu embarked on the journey again with a group of little brothers.
