Within two days, Yuan Keli uprooted the three major battalions of the White Lotus Sect in the west and north, and Chang Wei uprooted the two battalions in the east and south and broke the high point of Yishan, so far all the outlying strongholds of Zou County had fallen.

After learning the news, Xu Hongru, who was furious, sent more than a dozen henchmen and 100,000 disciples to attack in all directions, intending to sweep away the men and horses of Ping Wei and Yuan Keli, but at this time, more than 2,000 people from the volunteer battalion led by Beidou Jiuzi and Huang Chongwen arrived from Yuma Lake.

If the previous White Lotus Army could still be called elite, then these disciples were the real rabble. In fact, they are just poor people who have been coerced, they have no array, they have a variety of weapons, they can't understand orders, they only rely on their belief in their lifeless mothers, and they only rely on a bloody and brave spirit, how can this kind of person be the opponent of Yuan Keli and Chang Wei, who are veteran generals on the battlefield?

On the third day of November, the 5,000 thieves army was dispersed by Cheng Laohu in a battle as soon as they left the Hengshan Valley.

On the fifth day of the first month, the 3,000 thieves were killed by He Wenlie's troops at the end of the valley.

On the seventh day of the first month, most of the 4,000 thieves encountered the surrender of the Wuding Army.

On the ninth day of the first month, the volunteer battalion bombarded all the way, and drove the attacking disciples back to Zou Cheng from Nishan Lake, at this time, Chen Canyu, the right prime minister of the White Lotus Sect, brought tens of thousands of people to station in Yishan, and Chang Wei besieged Yishan again.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the first month, Chen Canyu personally led 7,000 people to attack the camp of the Volunteer Battalion, Chang Wei was well defended, and the thief army had no chance to take advantage of it, but was surrounded by the Volunteer Battalion and the Weishan Battalion, the thief army was defeated and did not surrender and Chang Wei fought to the death for a day and night, more than 7,000 people were all killed, and Chen Canyu fled in embarrassment.

Although the Weishan Battalion and the Volunteer Battalion were also damaged, after this battle, the two divisions began to work closely together, and their combat strength became stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, 20,000 troops under Zhao Yan, governor of Shandong, 20,000 troops under Liao Dong, and 10,000 troops under Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, finally arrived in Zoucheng.

Therefore, Yuan Keli and Zhang Ke's 10,000 people, 10,000 soldiers, 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers plus 20,000 people stationed a total of 70,000 people stationed on the Hengshan-Shiqiaozi line to besiege the west gate of Zoucheng; Zhao Yan's department 20,000 or 30,000 troops stationed in Guobao to besiege the north gate of Zoucheng; Liao Dong's department 20,000 or 30,000 troops stationed in the Hengshan Valley to besiege the east gate of Zoucheng; and Chang Wei's 30,000 troops stationed in Yishan to besiege the south gate of Zoucheng.

During the siege of the city, the powerful gun fire of the Volunteer Battalion caused great damage to the White Lotus Sect, but the artillery unit under Sun Yuanhua, which was taught by Europeans, was more ferocious than the firepower of the Volunteer Battalion, and Chang Wei knew from Yan Ruyu's mouth that the leader of this artillery unit was called Cromwell.

On the night of November 13, the tenth day of the siege, Wei Qi, the commander of the 57th Battalion, secretly sneaked out of Zou City under the leadership of Han Chai and met Chang Wei on a small mountain peak north of Yishan.

Seeing Chang Wei in a military uniform, Wei Qi's sluggish face was full of surprise and suspicion, "What I want to see is General Huang Wuxing, who is Your Excellency?"

When he said sincerely, "My name is Chang Wei, and I am fearless!", Wei Qi's face changed drastically, and he sighed decadently after a long time: "It turns out that Huang Wuxing is Lord Chang, no wonder he is so good at fighting! I can't imagine that hundreds of thousands of people in the White Lotus Sect have been toyed with by adults, and the White Lotus Sect has not been unjustly defeated!"

Chang Wei smiled faintly and said, "General Wei is too worried, in fact, I just wanted to sneak into Xia Zhen at the beginning. ”

This is true, in fact, Chang Wei never had the idea of going north to attack the White Lotus Sect, if it wasn't for Fan Zhen snatching the war horses of the Volunteer Battalion in Luoma Lake, Chang Wei would have returned to Zhenjiang from Honghu to prepare for the martial arts conference.

After Cheng Shiyu, a prisoner in the Battle of Luoma Lake, and learned from him that Yuan Keli had gone to Jining to preside over the overall situation, Chang Wei had the idea of entering Shuibo Liangshan to attack the White Lotus Sect's lair and restrain Yuan Keli.

After attacking the White Lotus Sect's backwater bay and Loucun stronghold by mistake, relieving the siege of Peixian, and getting thousands of prisoners and a lot of benefits, Chang Wei found that the White Lotus Sect was far from being as powerful as he imagined.

After contacting Yuan Keli by letter and learning of his specific strategy, Chang Wei saw the hope of eradicating the White Lotus Sect in the short term, so he personally ventured into Xia Zhen to prepare to assassinate Cang Lingxuan and others and seize Weishan County.

Coincidentally, the beggar gang cloaked in the same way as his plan, and by chance, Chang Wei saved Wuding and Cheng Laohu to get the military power of the Weishan battalion, which made him revise the plan by chance.

But at this time, his goal was only limited to capturing Taiping Town, who knew that before he could make a move, Liu Yongming would take the lead to seize the military power of the Weishan Battalion, and Chang Wei just took advantage of the situation and easily captured Taiping Town with a slight push.

Before Chang Wei could think of a strategy to attack Teng County, the aftermath of the infighting sent him and the Weishan Battalion to Zou County, the old nest of the White Lotus Sect.

What's even more amazing is that Yan Ruyu's temptation made Chang Wei instantly cultivate the rudimentary form of the divine soul, and then Han Chai, an undercover agent sent to the White Lotus Sect as a spy news, suddenly appeared, and Chang Wei took advantage of the situation to conquer Yan Ruyu with Xuangong and double cultivation.

Originally, he thought that he would have to wait a few days in the White Lotus Sect before launching an offensive, but as a result, Hou Qiongyin, who felt threatened, couldn't hold back, and the failure of the assassination plan made Yan Ruyu and her Jin Yuwei completely firm in their rebellious hearts, so the vigorous counteroffensive plan began.

It seems that Chang Wei has been pushed to the present by clever opportunities throughout the whole process, but in fact, if you summarize it carefully, it is still the problem of the White Lotus Sect itself.

If the White Lotus Sect had the wisdom to understand people, it would be difficult for the masters of the Beggars Gang to enter the Weishan Camp, Wuding would also be reused, and it would be difficult for Chang Wei to grasp the military power; if the White Lotus Sect was united and there was no struggle for power and profit, Chang Wei would probably still be in Taiping to look for an opportunity; if there was no factional struggle and internal oppression, Chang Wei would be able to subdue at most one Yan Ruyu, and now he is still hiding inside Zou Cheng to collect intelligence and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the head of the White Lotus Sect, instead of easily subduing the Shiqiaozi camp and inciting the Weishan Camp to rebel between his backhands.

All of this was the White Lotus Sect's own mistakes, which gave Chang Wei a lot of opportunities to take advantage of, and even Xu Hongru's strategy of splitting the earth and becoming king was very wrong at the beginning, and even his ally Wenxiang Sect was not optimistic about it, thus burying a series of curses.

After a few pleasantries, Chang Wei asked, "Mr. Wei came to see me alone, what is the so-called matter?"

Wei Qi regained his usual sluggish expression, and said in a wooden voice: "The inside story of our Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect's differences of opinion has long been known, and it should not be difficult to guess my purpose with the wisdom of the adult. ”

Speaking of which, Chang Wei is no longer detouring, "General Wei wants to evacuate Zou Cheng?"

Wei Qi said frankly: "Yes, I hope that Master Chang will let us go for the sake of Yan Shengnu's face, and let my subordinates of the Smell Fragrance Sect withdraw from Zou City!"

Chang Wei said in a condensed voice: "I can promise you, but you have to help me capture Xu Hongru!"

Wei Qi shook his head and said, "My lord can't help but think too much of us, Sect Master Xu is a top master, and there are hundreds of thousands of White Lotus Sect diehard disciples and countless masters in the city, it is impossible to deal with him with our little manpower." ”

Chang Wei smiled coldly, "Then why are you negotiating with me?"

Wei Qi thought for a while and said: "At most, we can open a city gate to welcome the adults into Zou City, as long as Zou City is broken, the White Lotus Sect will definitely be destroyed, at that time, the adults will only raise their hands to deal with Xu Hongru, what do you think?"

Chang Wei was already very satisfied with this condition, he nodded and said: "Last question, there is a secret agent of the 57th Battalion in the Weishan Battalion, who is he?" )
