In Li Fengyun's view, it is important to maintain the relationship with Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyun and other Wagang heroes, but the premise is that the maintenance of this relationship must be conducive to its own development, if it endangers its own interests, then there is no need to maintain this relationship.

Of course, the reason why the Wagang people are reluctant to raise the flag is acceptable, after all, their area is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Qilu, which is very close to the east, and it is also the intersection of the two golden waterways of the big river and the Tongji Canal, and it is the hub of the north-south transportation channel. It is foreseeable that as long as the Wagang people openly rebel, they will be attacked head-on by the Weifu army.

The reason why Li Fengyun left Mangdang and left Mengshan was also based on the same reason, and now he suddenly returned to the Central Plains, his real purpose was not to enter the Central Plains to compete for hegemony, but to plunder the wealth of the Central Plains in order to expand himself in the shortest possible time and win more chances of survival. But in this way, Li Fengyun led the war to the Central Plains, and wherever the war went, it must have been ruined. Li Fengyun achieved his goal, patted his ass and ran away, but what was left in the Central Plains was a mess. Li Fengyun's approach is indeed to only care about himself, ignore others, and turn a deaf ear to the lives and deaths of the people in the Central Plains, and this is the reason why the Wagang people are angry.

The two sides are based on their own positions and interests, and there is no possibility of compromise at all. Xu Shiyun left angrily, although Li Fengyun had a life-saving grace for him, and the personal relationship between the two was also deep, but it was purely a private friendship, and in the face of major rights and wrongs, private feelings could only be put aside. Now Xu Shiyan represents the interests of the Wagang people in Henan, while Li Fengyun represents the interests of the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance, and the two local forces have a fierce conflict of interests and will inevitably lead to a rupture.

The next day, Li Fengyun commanded the Cangtou army to launch an attack on Dingtao.

At the same time, he wrote to the commanders and deputy commanders of the southern and northern armies, informing them of Xu Shiyun's visit, and inferred that the alliance's previous assumption that it would receive the help of Henan Zhuxiong with Zhai Rang in the process of entering the Central Plains was wrong, and that it was necessary to adjust some of its attack strategies. Although the strength of the Henan Zhuxiong with Zhai Rang is currently limited, they occupy the right time and place, and once they become enemies of the alliance, they will inevitably cause immeasurable obstacles to their own attacks, so Li Fengyun asked the commanders and deputy commanders of the southern and northern armies to work together, unite sincerely, fight together, strengthen their determination to enter the Central Plains, and resolutely break through the defenses of the official army on the front line of Jiyin, Dingtao and Chengshi, and at the same time maintain a high degree of vigilance against the Henan Zhuxiongs, not only to guard against their black hands behind their backs, Beware of their divisive tactics to undermine unity within our Alliance.

When the chief and deputy general managers of the south and north roads received Li Fengyun's urgent letter, they were directing the brigades under their command to plunder on a large scale.

Last year's floods flooded the fields, and this year's drought has dried up the fields, but the displaced and hungry people are mainly civilians, and the vast majority of the aristocracy and wealthy people can still be guaranteed their basic livelihood because they own a considerable amount of land and other property and cheap labor such as servants and hired farmers. The rebels plundered the estates, large and small, scattered across the plains, and these estates were the property of the local nobility and wealthy. Because of the impact of the disaster, coupled with the attack of the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance, the situation has plummeted, and the nobles and rich people with conditions have taken refuge in Gyeonggi or the county government, while the nobles and rich people without conditions can only stick to their homes.

The righteous soldiers in southwest Lu were many powerful, burning, killing and plundering on both sides of the river, and this kind of looting was unrestrained, robbing everything, money, grain, silk silk, young and strong laborers, cattle, sheep and livestock, seeing what to rob, many times lost their minds and almost went crazy, which led to the death toll of zhì rising steadily.

Civilians are the weakest, the most helpless, in the face of the threat of survival, the only way to ask for help is the strong, and now the strong is not the government, the government does not care about them at all, abandoned them, so they can only passively blindly obey the righteous army, follow the righteous army to burn, kill and plunder, all they want is a mouthful of food and a life. A large part of the aristocracy and rich have weak power, such as ordinary poor families, such as township tycoons, in the face of the fierce invaders, they either flee or coexist with their homeland, but they would rather be broken than for the whole of the people, after all, there are few people, most of them can be flexible, and they will obey the government when they see that the government is strong, and they will obey the righteous army when they see that the righteous army is strong.

There is also a part of the aristocracy and wealthy who are more powerful, generally called local magnates, and most of them live in the city, and if they live outside the city, there are strong dock forts and township regimental armed groups. At the moment of drastic changes, these places were expected to join forces with the government to defend the acropolis, or recruit young people to expand their armies and hold their own forts. In the absence of a strong garrison in the county, it was these local heroes who worked hand in hand with the local government to quickly form a powerful force, using the city and the dock fortress as a base to defend and resist the attacks of the rebels.

Slowly, the situation changed from the initial chaos to a clear confrontation between the enemy and the enemy, between the official army and the rebel army

Although the rebel army is numerous and powerful, the momentum is amazing, but there are very few elites with combat ability, and the rest are all rabble, coupled with the loose organization, insufficient armament, lack of combat experience, and extremely limited strength, such a team to attack the city and pull out the fortress is purely looking for death, so soon, the vast and worthless countryside became the territory of the rebel army, and the strong and wealthy city dock fort became the stronghold of the official army. However, the officers and soldiers were insufficient, and they were not able to go out of the city to suppress the thieves, and the rebels did not have the ability to capture the city and strengthen themselves, so the result became a stalemate, and this stalemate was very unfavorable to the rebels.

Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong and others supported Li Fengyun's westward expansion strategy, but considering that the eastern capital would never allow the righteous army to confuse the Central Plains, it was possible to send the Gyeonggi garrison to encircle and suppress at any time, and the Gyeonggi garrison was strong, and the rebel army was not an opponent at all. Since they have little confidence in Li Fengyun and are not optimistic about the strategy of advancing westward into the Central Plains, then everyone's idea is simple, taking advantage of the fact that the eastern capital has not yet reacted and the Gyeonggi garrison has not yet been dispatched, how much can be grabbed, as for the matter of attacking the city and pulling out the village, it will be handed over to Li Fengyun and the Cangtou army, anyway, they can't suffer losses.

After Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai, and Huo Xiaohan of the Northern Route Army read Li Fengyun's urgent letter, their already firm decision was immediately shaken.

They are all Qi people, fighting on their own territory, taking advantage of the time and place, but even then they are walking on thin ice and in danger. Now his strength has not recovered from the battle of Ningyang, and he hurriedly entered the unfamiliar Central Plains to fight, which is a difficult thing to do, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains with such strength, it is natural to win the support of the Henan Zhuxiong with Zhai Rang as the leader, however, it is surprising that Zhai Rang and other Henan Zhuxiong actually opposed the Southwest Lu Righteous Army to attack the Central Plains. Of course, Henan Zhuxiong's reasons are sufficient, although they are nominally for the sake of innocent lives and stand on the "general righteousness", but in fact they are standing on their own position and want to safeguard their own interests.

Han Jinluo and the others looked at each other speechlessly. Could it be that if the Southwest Lu Righteous Army did not fight the Central Plains, the victims of the Central Plains would be able to receive relief from the government? Can you get rid of the pursuit of death? Obviously, although there is Zhai Rang and other Henan princes who want to protect their own interests, but more of them are under pressure from the government and local nobles and tycoons.

The reason why Zhai Rang and others were able to survive in this area, and even rob the passing ships on the big river and Tongji Canal, was directly related to the protection and connivance of local nobles and wealthy tycoons, and the inaction of local officials. Now that the Southwest Lu Rebels have been killed, the common interests of both sides have been damaged, and of course they must be unanimous with the outside world.

Just when Han Jinluo and the three of them were discussing whether to attack the Cheng clan and whether to give Li Fengyun strong support to attack Dingtao, Jiyin Hao hoped that Wu Hailiu would knock on the camp and ask for a meeting.

Wu Hailiu and Han Jinluo are world friends, and the two families are also related by marriage, and they studied together when they were young, and they have a deep friendship. When Han Jinluo heard that Wu Hailiu was coming, he knew that he was another lobbyist, and he was also a lobbyist with ill intentions. Fortunately, Li Fengyun's letter came in time, so that Han Jinluo was psychologically prepared, so that he would not be caught off guard, let alone fall for Wu Hailiu's tricks and fall for the discord of the Henan people.

Almost at the same time, on the south bank of Heshui, in the camp of the Southern Route Army, Meng Haigong also met another Jiyin Haowang Fang Xianbo. Fang Xianbo bluntly told Meng Haigong that Wei Baoluan, the Shou Wei of Jiyin County, came from Guanzhong Wei, and Guanzhong Wei's and Yang Lan, the king of Qi in Henan, and Li Hun, the commander of the Gyeonggi Garrison, belonged to the same political camp in the east, and their interests were the same. Once the Eastern Capital sends troops, how can you resist the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance? At the moment when the tree fell and scattered, Li Fengyun still had a mountain to dodge, but what about you? You are from Jiyin, where are you going to escape?

Meng Haigong and Fang Xianbo had a very personal relationship, if it wasn't for Li Fengyun's urgency, which gave him an understanding of the changes in shape, maybe he would have believed Fang Xianbo's words.

"Who asked you to come?" Meng Haigong pretended to be panicked and asked sincerely, "Is it Wei Envoy Jun?" If it is Wei Envoy, what is his purpose? ”
