Chapter 206 Li County
Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebel army marched towards Zhending Prefecture and reached Gaoyang County in just one morning.

Many years later, a person who would be called "Kong Ming in Han Dynasty and Pei Du in Tang Dynasty" by the emperor would be born here.

But at this moment, it was just an ordinary county town that was attacked by a rebellious army.

Liu Liu, Liu Qi and Qi Yanming got together to discuss how to break into Zhending Prefecture.

At this moment, a soldier ran in, half-knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Chief, a spy reported that the imperial court's troops entered Bazhou City at noon and are chasing us."

Liu Liu narrowed his eyes, the distribution of towns in this area emerged in his mind, and he slowly said: "With the speed of the imperial army, they should be able to catch up to the Hejian Prefecture area at 3 p.m."

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Liu Qi looked at Liu Liu and asked calmly.

"Brother Qi, what do you think?" Liu Liu did not say it directly, but looked at Qi Yanming who was silent on the side.

Qi Yanming thought for a while before expressing his thoughts: "In my opinion, the court should not have sent only Xianning Earl Qiu Yue. The court knows our advantages, so I think the court should have other arrangements. What we should do now is to jump out of Hebei and move forward to Shandong or Shanxi."

After hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but nodded.

"As expected of Mr. Qi, your ideas coincide with mine."

Liu Liu smiled and picked up a branch and started to rub it on the ground. "This is where we are now. According to the original plan, we will go to Zhending Prefecture and encounter the Zhending Guards, but they are a bunch of trash and will scatter at the slightest touch. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"If we go south, we will run into the Jinan Guards. They are the worst of the worst and have no fighting power at all."

"The only way to go west is to meet the Taiyuan Guards. They have a certain fighting capacity, but they can't inflict any serious damage on us."

"So the only one who can cause harm to us right now is the cavalry led by Xianning Bo Qiu Yue. But we don't know whether he is leading the border camp or the Beijing camp."

As he spoke, Liu Liu looked up at Liu Qi and asked with a smile: "Second brother, do you still remember the fun of fishing when we were kids? The fish was too big and we couldn't catch it, what did we do?"

"Keep pulling to consume the fish's energy. When it is exhausted, you can easily hook it up!" Liu Qi recalled and said happily.

Liu Liu pointed at the location of Hejian Prefecture and asked confidently, "Is this fish big enough now?"

Qi Yanming was startled, looked at Liu Liu and asked, "Brother, do you want to defeat Qiu Yue?!"

"Yes! Is there any problem?" Liu Liu asked back.

"Qiu Yue is a famous general," Qi Yanming reminded with some concern.

Liu Qi patted Qi Yanming on the shoulder and said fearlessly: "Brother Qi, don't worry. Gu Dayong is known as the best fighter in the palace, but he was beaten by us and fled away. Besides, we still have our eldest brother!"

Liu Liu continued to draw on the ground, and finally pointed to a location and said: "We will split into two groups. One group will be led by me and Brother Qi, and we will fight and retreat to Boye County. The other group will be led by my second brother and go straight to Li County. When the time comes, we will attack from both sides and kill Qiu Yue here!"

"This place has Zhulong River on the left and Ziwei Mountain on the back. It's a rare Feng Shui treasure land!"

After seeing this, Qi Yanming and Liu Qi all smiled.

After making up his mind, Liu Qi led a group of cavalry and infantry to ambush in Li County.

Liu Liu ordered the cavalry commander Zhang Yi to begin harassing Qiu Yue's troops, trying to keep them under control without causing too much loss.

Men Bikai, who was on patrol, immediately noticed something was wrong. The noisy and loud guy Niu Zhong was missing.

He pretended to be calm and turned around, and found that Liu Qi was gathering troops.

"Brother Men, why are you here?" Niu Zhong suddenly appeared from behind, patted Men Bikai on the shoulder, and asked with a silly smile. "I'm on patrol today!" Men Bikai looked calm, looking at the busy crowd in front, and asked puzzledly: "What is Brother Liu Qi doing?"

"I don't know either. Brother Liu Qi told me to follow him, so I followed him!" Niu Zhong had a silly smile on his face, and his head was just a decoration.

"Then you have to behave well!"

Men Bi Kai smiled and led his brothers over, bowed to Liu Qi, and asked, "Brother Liu Qi, do you need help from the brothers?"

"Haha. No need!"

Liu Qi waved his hand, jumped on his horse, and said to the door: "Brother, I will leave first. We will meet again in a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the cavalry and the cattle tribe out of the city.

Men Bikai stood aside and watched them leave. He vaguely heard people talking about Lixian. He hesitated a little, but when he was on patrol, he passed the news to the Beggar Gang disciple who was pretending to be dead on the roadside.

At this moment, Jie Baidiao was behind Liu Liubu. He didn't dare to get too close, nor did he dare to stay too far away. So when the Beggar Gang disciples risked their lives to bring the information to him, it was already dark.

Jie Bai found a pigeon breeder and asked if he could release the pigeons at night.

The pigeon breeder hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "White Lotus Messenger, it's too dark. The pigeons won't see the light and will stop. So I think it's best to wait until daybreak before releasing them."

Jie Bai felt helpless after hearing this, but he had to accept this reality.

At this time, the man who had sent the intelligence from Bazhou City came out and said, "Messenger Bai Lian, I have recovered a lot. Why don't I send the intelligence to Lord Ou tonight!"

"Good man!"

Jie Bai patted his shoulder, sighed and said, "I am very touched by your kindness, but you don't know where Lord Ou is now. It will be more troublesome if you can't find him. Let's wait until dawn!"

After hearing this, the man didn't say much, but just retreated with a bit of disappointment.

At three quarters past the hour of Mao, the sun rises above the horizon, shining brightly, sprinkling golden light on the ground, making all things look gorgeous.

A gray pigeon faced the rising sun, quickly flew across the mountains and rivers, and landed in a temporary camp in Jiaohe County.

After Ou Zanghua received the information, he immediately walked to the map and began to observe it carefully.

Zuo Lengchan traveled around the world when he was young and had impressions of most areas in the north. Ling Xiao only moved around Tianjin and Cangzhou. Outside of this area, he was not as familiar with it as Ou Zanghua, who at least had traveled from south to north twice.

Ou Zanghua drew the location of Li County on the map, turned around and looked at Zuo Lengchan and asked, "Uncle Zuo, what do you think?"

"My Lord Ou, Li County is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, and the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry combat." Zuo Lengchan bowed and answered loudly.

"Liu Liu's original target was Zhending Prefecture. Why did he divide his troops?" Ling Xiao looked at the map and asked hesitantly, "Zhending Prefecture has the Zhending Guards by its side. Shouldn't they concentrate their forces to take it down in one go?"

"Maybe it's because we've fought each other before and I know the level of the Zhending Guards!" Ou Zanghua looked at the map, various thoughts flashing through his mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision for a moment.

The main reason was that they were too far apart, which led to a lack of communication between him and Qiu Yue, and they were unable to act in unison.

"Arrogant!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but snorted coldly after hearing Ou Zanghua's explanation.

Zuo Lengchan stepped forward, pointed to a place and said, "Lord Ou, I suggest that our troops can be transferred to Jinzhou. This place is about the same distance from Zhending Prefecture and Li County. No matter what they plan to do, as long as we are here, we can turn the passive situation into the active one!"
