But I'm a male fox

"If our army agrees to his conditions, the Fei family will have no loss. On the surface, it is decided that we will pass on half of Qilu, but in fact it will leave hidden dangers by the river. Once the price offered by Qianting is higher than ours , They will cut off our army's retreat at any time!"

"Not bad!"

Zhu Chongxiu stood up, faced all the subordinates, and said bluntly: "Whether the Fei family surrendered for real or not, such a group of entangled forces standing in the north of Lucheng will always be a deadly threat to us!"

"Besides, dividing the land and food is one of the fundamental strategies for our army to grow. If we give up today to attract the Fei family, what will we do when we face the Lu family, the Cao family, and the Zhang family tomorrow? How can those families in the south of the Yangtze River do it?" Convinced?"

"Regardless of dividing the fields, we will never be able to stand firmly within their sphere of influence! They will always surrender and rebel!"

"That's why we can't accept the Fei family's surrender like this. We must completely subdue them! Moreover, we also have the ability to completely subdue them!"

After Zhu Chongxiu made his attitude clear, everyone below bowed their hands in agreement.

On the roof, Li Cheng nodded repeatedly.

When the rest of the matters were finished, he came to the backyard and saw Zhu Chongxiu who was resting.

The latter was looking north and frowning.

"Are you worried about the Fei family?"

"Well...Although I am determined to fight, to be honest, the Fei family has been running the Qilu land for almost 300 years. They have a deep foundation and a firm heart to guard the land. They will not give up at the slightest setback like Sun De. The difficulty of defeating them is not small."

Zhu Chongxiu blinked at Li Cheng and said, "At the end of the day, Brother Li should help us to break through."

"Be humble, if it wasn't for the army you have trained to be able to prohibit orders, even if I keep all those practitioners out, it would be useless."

After a few words of encouragement, seeing that his good sister still had no time to attend to other matters, Li Cheng withdrew again.

Walking out of the government office, Li Cheng wandered around the city while sorting out information related to the Fei family in his mind.

He saw the captured Fei family brothers by the city wall. The elder brother was on a hunger strike to protest. He seemed unwilling to "bend down" to move bricks for a meal, but the younger brother was already drooling from the smell, and he probably wouldn't last long. It will be really fragrant.

He also saw Zhu Chongxiu's cronies outside the city counting the surrendered soldiers, picking out the veterans with bad records and transferring them to the south of the river to be civilian husbands, and then disrupting and reorganizing the newly recruited recruits, and promised Fentian near Lucheng...

Although it had only been conquered for a day, the whole city was in order, and Li Cheng even saw many small vendors going out to do business.

But soon, two veiled women interrupted Li Cheng's observation.

"Bai Yutang? Wan'er? Why are you here?"

Chapter 330: The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles

On the official road outside the city, Li Cheng was stopped by two women wearing veils. With a sweep of his consciousness, he recognized them as Xiao Wan'er and Bai Yutang.

"How did you meet together?"

Xiao Wan'er smiled and said: "This is not a place to talk, let's find a hiding place, and I will tell you in detail..."

After the three of them went to a half-collapsed thatched hut nearby, Xiao Wan'er briefly explained what happened.

It turned out that after parting with Li Cheng at the water bandits, Bai Yutang served Zhu Chongxiu for a short time, and Zhu Chongxiu really wanted to reuse the little dog demon.

result......

It turns out that white jade candy is really not that material.

She doesn't have the experience of Jianghu gangs and the rebel army like her apprentice Li He, and she even manages the "thief company" under her own hands loosely, let alone in charge of intelligence work within the rebel army.

What she is best at is stealing, ah no, taking without telling.

However, in the territory of the Rebel Army, most of the rich either surrendered or had their homes ransacked, so there was no value in "taking".

In the end, the bored Bai Yutang chose to get together and get together, bid farewell to Zhu Chongxiu, and went north to Qilu and Hebei—these are the hometowns of many aristocratic families, which is more suitable for her, a thief saint, to display her expertise.

As for Xiao Wan'er, after leaving Wenxin Mountain, she practiced at Ben Leizong for another year, and then returned to the hometown of Cao's family to visit her mother, Xiao Yumei.

On the way, she heard about the fact that children from nearby aristocratic families were often stolen.

As the first woman in Li Cheng's side to meet Bai Yutang, she guessed it right away. After being more careful, she successfully met Bai Yutang in less than half a month.

The two daughters were overjoyed to reunite after a long absence, and they continued to walk together until they heard that Zhu Chongxiu was going north, so they sneaked over together.

Xiao Wan'er was halfway through speaking, and looked around cautiously: "I heard that people from the Fei family came to see you today? Please help me be careful, I don't want to be seen by them."

Li Cheng raised his hand and cast a layer of illusion nearby: "Don't worry, no one will find this place."

"In that case, we can talk about business!"

Bai Yutang laughed out her eight snow-white canine teeth: "Senior, we have brought a big deal!"

Dude, what a bandit speech.

But after listening to Bai Yutang's business for a while, Li Cheng immediately became serious, and immediately took Xiao Wan'er and Bai Yutang into the city quietly, and found Zhu Chongxiu who was still at work.

After the screen back left and right, Bai Yutang and Xiao Wan'er recounted their discovery...

"Sister Chongxiu, do you know about the court's Qingning Camp?"

Zhu Chongxiu nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Although southern Qilu has always been considered the traditional territory of the Fei family, on the surface, the imperial court still stationed an army of 3 people in the city of Qingning here, the so-called Qingning camp.

...Although there is a real fight, maybe half of the officers in this army will obey the orders of the Fei family.

Xiao Wan'er said: "The reason why the Fei family dared to raise conditions with you is not only because of their monks and wealth, but also because they have such an army in their hands."

"Besides, if I'm right, even if you want to take over the Qingning camp, it will be quite difficult, right?"

Zhu Chongxiu said frankly: "It's a tough nut to crack. If 3 people can unite in formation, even the third rank will find it difficult to see it. I originally expected to divide [-] soldiers, and it would take half a month to complete the battle. .”

"Then we're on the right track! When I was teaching those family members a lesson a few days ago, I accidentally stole a letter..."

Bai Yutang didn't notice that he scolded himself just now, and said with a smile: "Because of your Northern Expedition, the Qingning Camp has also transferred troops to the south recently, and at the same time transferred its own food and grass. The city is gone!"

Xiao Wan'er added: "I asked someone to inquire about it, and I can confirm that this is true. The transfer of the civilian husband cannot deceive people."

Hearing this, Zhu Chongxiu was overjoyed.

That is to say, Xiao and Bai came during the day, if it was night, maybe the good sister would have to walk backwards to greet each other.

She immediately asked her cronies to fetch the map, and looked at Jicheng Road on it:

"If we can put pressure on the officers and soldiers from the front, and then send a partial division to take down Jicheng and burn its food and grass, within five days at most, we will be able to drive back the 3 people in the Qingning camp."

"At that time, the Fei family will not only lose a large number of troops, but also the west wing will be cut off from the imperial court, and will be in a situation of isolation and helplessness, and will be unable to make any more demands on the land."

Zhu Chongxiu was a little excited while talking, but it was understandable.

After all, if she wants to succeed in the Northern Expedition, she still needs to pay attention to speed. If Ma Changping and the imperial court finish fighting in Guanzhong, the day lily will be cold if she knocks on Guanzhong again.

And the strategy just now is an excellent way to subdue the Fei family within seven or eight days.

The plan was determined, and everyone began to prepare.

In order not to be exposed, Xiao Wan'er secretly turned back to the north, while Bai Yutang stayed behind as a guide.

Zhu Chongxiu recruited all his subordinates, asked Fan Ying to be responsible for stabilizing Fei Rong, pretended to negotiate conditions to delay the time, and asked Dong Hai to choose a 3000-man light cavalry and prepare fire starters...

In the afternoon of the next day, led by Dong Hai and guided by Bai Yutang, the 3000-man light cavalry quietly left the camp.

Naturally, Zhu Chongxiu himself would not participate in this kind of action. Liu Shishi, Chen Youxi and Duguzhi still stayed in Lucheng in order to prevent the possible beheading of monks.

In the end, Li Cheng, the master of concealment, followed the team and headed straight to Jicheng in the north.

There is nothing to say about the journey.

Sanqian Qingqi would take the initiative to avoid the city pass, and occasionally encountered patrolling officers and soldiers, and they all dealt with it under Li Cheng's illusion.

In the early morning of the next day, this Qingqi arrived at the edge of Jicheng.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually a large village surrounded by earthen walls. Because it was selected as a storage place for grain and grass, most of the people in it were moved out, and replaced by five thousand defenders and tens of thousands of porters. the husband of the people.

At this moment, it doesn't matter whether it is concealed or not.

Li Cheng used his spiritual sense to find out that there was only one fifth-rank martial artist in the city, and immediately sprinkled the entire illusion on the top of the city, deceiving the city gate open without bloodshed.

Then he went straight to find the fifth-rank guard, and after using ecstasy to find out the formations and fire-fighting measures in the city, he destroyed them one by one.

Immediately, Dong Hai led Qingqi into the city and went straight to the warehouse.

They first took out dozens of large and small storage bags, and after they packed as many as possible, they took out fire starters and threw them around.

Not long after, the granaries in the northern part of Jicheng City became huge torches, the billowing heat wave roared across the city, and the blazing flames steamed up, which was even more dazzling than the rising sun for a while.

In the world of Xianxia, ​​it is very convenient to start a fire. Once it starts, it is basically impossible to save it.

Faced with this scene, the [-] defenders in the city who still have combat power cannot be said to be unprepared, at least they can be said to have collapsed—especially after the golden march formed by the middle-level officers was smashed by Li Cheng. .

The night raid on the granary was a great success.

After Li Cheng and Dong Hai succeeded, they did not return immediately.

On Dong Hai's side, he first drove the deserters from Jicheng to the west, and then followed closely behind, taking advantage of the situation to take the initiative to harass the frontline garrison drawn from the Qingning camp.

Calculated, this night, he defeated at least [-] officers and soldiers, and then turned south and stationed in the north of Lucheng, ready to re-insert between the officers and the Fei family at any time.

As for Li Cheng, it was simpler.

He flew directly to Fei's house, released the Nine-Tails avatar, and just walked around the house without doing anything.

The huge building is so tall that it walks rumbling and rumbles, which is very intimidating.

In addition, Li Cheng was keenly aware that there was a third-rank hidden in the Fei family with a weak aura and his lifespan was about to expire, but the other party seemed to be frightened by him and had no intention of showing up at all, but still asked the patriarch to come out and wanted to be with him. He speaks.

It's a pity that Li Cheng's goal has been achieved, and he didn't give him a chance. After a display of arms, he returned to Lucheng.

Soon.

The news of the victory of the rebel army spread.

The officers and soldiers of the Qingning camp were already under great pressure from facing Zhu Chongxiu's 10 people. Now that there is a problem with food and grass, the army's morale is suddenly in turmoil.

The generals among them fought among themselves, and finally the fleeing faction overwhelmed the Fei family's children, and chose to retreat westward overnight, retreating hundreds of miles before stopping.

And this morning, Fei Rong rushed to Zhu Chongxiu's mansion to see him before he even had time to wash his hair.

But it wasn't until half an hour later that Shi Shiran recruited people into the meeting hall after running out of earlier Zhu Chongxiu.

Faced with Fei Rong's complaint that "killing a killer during the negotiation is immoral", Zhu Chongxiu didn't say much, but reiterated his conditions.

This time, even though Fei Rong had prepared countless eloquent rhetoric in his chest, he couldn't open his mouth after all.

At noon that day, the former doctor bid farewell to Zhu Chongxiu, and left Lucheng temporarily with his two nephews in a dejected manner.

On the way, Fei Qi, who failed a hunger strike not long ago to move bricks to eat, but was still upset, asked, "Uncle, are we really going to surrender to Zhu Ni? Are our family's many ministers going to degenerate to this point?"

"What can we do now?"

Fei Rong sighed, and suddenly saw a pair of soldiers walking in formation in front of the road.

Fei Qi, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward to check, and then said in a low voice: "I have the impression that there are a few soldiers in that team, and they should be the elite of Sun De's men."

"Were you sent out just after you surrendered? They were recruited so quickly?"

Fei Rong squinted his eyes for a long time, and found that the small army, which was mostly composed of surrendered soldiers, was full of energy, smiling, and fast-paced, without any sign of slacking off.

He couldn't help but be a little curious. He brought the two brothers forward and asked, "Several, you were obviously dragged out to fight, why are you so happy?"

The soldiers didn't want to pay attention to Fei Rong at first, but after seeing that he was dressed luxuriously and handed him a piece of silver sensibly, they said, "My lord, fighting is different from fighting!"

"We used to fight with a man surnamed Sun, and we couldn't get much salary throughout the year, and we were still owed from time to time."

"Now General Zhu not only doesn't want our money, but instead gives us the grandson's money, and even takes us to get fields outside the city. As long as we make contributions, we can get more fields. Happy!"

Fei Qi couldn't help but interjected, "Hmph, do you believe what she says?"

"Brother, what you said is meaningless. The generals of the National People's Congress have divided a lot in the past two days. Even cattle have been divided. The big guys are watching, why don't you believe it!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he felt bored and continued to move forward with the officer.

Fei Rong was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, and said to his two nephews, "Hurry up and go."

Three days later, the Fei family announced their surrender.

The land of Kanto is shaking!

Let's not mention how Zhu Chongxiu split up the Fei family's troops and organized the division of land, let's say that the Hebei area during this period is in chaos, ah no, it is full of vitality and everything is competing.

Stimulated by the imperial court's tax increase and Zhu Chongxiu's Northern Expedition, many rebels in this area, which had already been in decline, became active again, and led by the most famous left minister, they made an alliance to fight against the official army.

At this moment, many rebel leaders gathered in a temple on the branch of Taiyuan Mountain—as for the monks here?Of course he was kicked out a long time ago!

"Boss Left!"

In the chaotic environment, a tall man held up a bowl of wine, and said to the left minister who was sitting on the head: "Where you always say you want to fight, my brothers will go there!"
