The encirclement and annihilation of the main force of Gao Shitong's department.

This left room for the army and the Hebei Rebels.

Frankly speaking, the 35,000 Hejian Army's main force did exceed Zhang Xing's expectations, but even so, he had to go north for rescue at this time.

And there must be no hesitation or timidity.

Because once timidity is revealed, it is very likely that the situation will be overturned. Only by being firm enough can the Hejian Army hesitate and then create a loophole.

In fact, just like the time in Ande City South, although Zhang Xing had obvious struggles and hesitations, he did not let these hesitations show up and affect related actions. He almost immediately ordered the troops to prepare and set off, but he just took a rest.

It was only one day. On October 25th, in the increasingly cold winter weather, the army set off vigorously and headed north.

He pointed directly at Leling and tried to break the siege.

Of course, Zhang Xing, who felt guilty, had already asked for help as soon as he knew the news. He asked Wang Zhen, who was originally going to Dengzhou, to lead his troops from Douzigang to support, and asked Bai Yousi to come in person to support, and asked Bai Yousi to come to support in person.

Xu Dalang returned to Jibei and brought with him the troops and some leaders who had originally planned to cross the river but failed to assemble in a hurry.

Wei Xuanding even asked Wei Xuanding, who had been disorganized and disorganized before Banxian began to reorganize, to select from the rebels who had been left behind by Gao Shitong and the rebels who had fled from the front line, and to be ready for support at any time.

Zhang Xing's tough stance, of course, immediately alarmed all parties.

Not to mention the officers and soldiers of Pingyuan County and the surrounding rebels, Leling also learned the news immediately. Whether it was the tribesmen of the Hejian Camp and Bohai County soldiers in the outer area, or those who were destined to be unable to be tightly surrounded.

People inside and outside Leling City got the news.

Then the reactions varied.

Others did not mention it. On the evening of October 25th, when Gao Shitong was in a daze in the hall inside the city, someone suddenly sent a message saying that Dou Lide, the leader of a new rebel army stationed outside the city, had come to the city to see him.

Gao Shitong was naturally speechless and immediately invited people in.

When Dou Lide entered the hall, he saw that there was no one around, and he didn't care about whether it was appropriate or not. He walked directly to the other party, handed over his hands, and asked seriously: "Commander Gao! There are brothers from the rebel army coming around from the south. They all say that the army of 20,000 can defeat the river in one day."

Is it true that he raised a large camp with tens of thousands of troops and beheaded three generals, including the previous beheading of Gao Shizhan, and the fact that he directly led the entire army to come to the rescue now?"

Gao Shitong laughed dryly and nodded: "Of course, Master Zhang, who is leading the army, is all true... To be honest with Lao Dou, I knew these things were true as soon as I heard them, because it was Master Zhang who led the army.

His style is... tough, unyielding when he has the upper hand, and never leaving an inch of leeway."

Dou Lide nodded and continued to ask: "But the 35,000 main force of the Hejian Army is here, and the main force of tens of thousands of troops crosses the river. Who will win and who loses in the end?"

"I don't know." Gao Shitong shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I really don't know...but it doesn't matter, because I'm afraid that within a few days, there will be a showdown."

"Commander, that's what I think." Dou Lide became awe-inspiring. "If we really sit here and wait for the army and the Hejian Camp to easily decide between men and women, no matter who wins or loses, our Hebei Rebel Army will be completely silent.

Yes, it goes without saying that the army won, but if the army won, we Hebei people would have nothing to say... So we must not wait for the outcome, we must do something ourselves."

Gao Shitong took a long breath and went out: "How come I don't understand what you said? Old Dou, otherwise why do you think I took the risk to come to Leling?"

"I already understand now." Dou Lide said solemnly. "Master Gao Da went north this time and fell into the trap, but the truth is indeed right...but we people didn't understand the commander-in-chief's painstaking efforts before."

"What's the point of saying this now?" Gao Shitong felt increasingly bored. "My thoughts have been peeked into my mind, and I have fallen into a trap."

"It's when you fall into the trap. If you work harder, the other party won't doubt you." Dou Lide sincerely advised.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Gao Shitong was helpless.

"I want to bring a few thousand people to pretend to surrender." Dou Lide took a step forward and explained his intention without hesitation. "Waiting for an opportunity to do something."

"You're crazy." Gao Shitong thought for a while and advised him seriously. "The army just killed three Zhonglang generals from the Hejian camp, and one Xue Lao'er. If you go to pretend to surrender, the Xue brothers will kill them directly."

So what if you vent your hatred?"

"I'm going to find the camp of Bohai Governor Zhang Shiyu to surrender." Dou Lide's expression remained unchanged. "To put it bluntly, we rebels are the only ones who can deal with Zhang Shiyu's county soldiers at this time. We can only use Zhang Shiyu's

Only when the county soldiers begin can the current war situation be shaken."

Gao Shitong remained silent for a long time before asking: "You have thought clearly and are determined. If you want to do it, just do it. There is no encirclement outside. Even if you want to make an explanation, you can just send someone to find Zhang Sanlang."

, why ask me, an incompetent loser?"

"Uncle Gao is the coach and the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army. Since I have come to vote, as a member of the Hebei Rebel Army, I should report here according to the rules." Dou Lide replied seriously. "With the situation in this world, if you don't follow the rules, how can it be possible?"

Gao Shitong was startled, and finally stood up, holding the opponent's hands and sighing: "The so-called strong wind knows the strength of the grass, if it weren't for today's situation, I didn't know that you Dou Lide is a real hero! You are really short-sighted! I deserve it.

You ended up like a lost dog. You fled from Hebei to Dengzhou, and then from Dengzhou to Hebei, but achieved nothing! Old Dou, I dare not make any guarantees, but if you can come back, if our Hebei rebels can still have something to say

, I am willing to recommend you to be the second boss and entrust you with the future of the Hebei Rebel Army!"

Doulide accepted this promise proudly.

PS: Thank you to Mr. Ryan, the Saving Chef, for the many rewards...I can't say I'm so tired of this chapter...and I really feel that as people get older, their bodies are visibly declining. They just go out and come back for several days.
Chapter completed!
