Xiahou Xuan sank his face and said angrily: "You led 2,000 people to station in the North and South Islands, but you actually captured it?"

Cheng Pei was so scared that he lit his head and smiled bitterly: "General Xiahou, there are seven or eight thousand people on the other side, and he is riding in the strange warship in Guli. The ship is sharp and long, and it looks fragile, but it is extremely hard and has a fast speed. It caught us up in a short while. If I hadn't retreated early, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back to report the news."

The beauty of Chinese language cleverly changed the escape at the last minute to "retreat early". The nature is very different, from a deserter who is greedy for life and fears death to a forward-looking military action.

Sure enough, when Xiahou Xuan heard that there were seven or eight thousand people on the other side, his face turned red and he thought to himself: "If I listened to Tian Yu and sent troops to stop at Jiudao in advance, I would not become a huge enemy and I would not be able to give the island chain to the enemy in vain."

But if he confessed his shortcomings at this time, he would inevitably lose face in front of the generals. Xiahou Xuan could not come to Taiwan for a while. What Tian Yu said was vivid in his mind that day, but now it is too late.

Cheng Xi had a lot of eyesight and immediately took all the blame on himself. He hurriedly said, "I blame the officials for this matter. If the officials had not been to seek peace, they had to wait until the storm was low before sending troops to garrison, and they would not have been given the opportunity to seize the island chain by the Yan bandits. I begged the general to forgive the officials for their unfavorable affairs."

The flattery was slapped in time, Xiahou Xuan's face was slightly slower, and he waved his hand and said, "This matter cannot be completely dependent on you."

All the officials in Qingzhou felt that Cheng Xi was a poor character and thought to himself: "Even if this is what you proposed, Xiahou Xuan is currently controlling all the troops in Qingzhou. He should be held accountable and should be blamed for making the decision, not the person who proposed it. Otherwise, who would dare to come forward to propose it in the future?"

Cheng Xi's face did not blush and his heart was beating: "There is nothing to be afraid of when the Yan thieves seized the island chain. Yan thieves were less than 10,000, only seven or eight thousand people. We have 30,000 naval troops, so we can send troops directly."

The officials present felt a little weak and thought to themselves: "It's so light. Nandao is only more than 30 miles away from Donglai County. If you don't send troops to take it back, it will be almost impossible for the Yan bandits to attack the coastal areas of Qingzhou."

Even if one of them stood up, Han Sheng, the governor of Qingzhou, hurriedly said: "General Xiahou, the subordinate officials proposed to re-enforce the troops of Tian Yu. The soldiers in Qingzhou were all Tian Yu's old subordinates and were led by others. I am afraid that the soldiers would not accept it and could not be united."

Cheng Xi turned his head and glared at Han Sheng, and said angrily: "Governor Han is talking about me again?"

Han Sheng arched his hands forward, his head drooped from the fat sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "How dare the lower-ranking officials point out the slander and scold the locust, they just tell the truth."

Cheng Xi snorted: "When this war is approaching, do not impeach each other."

When Xiahou Xuan saw everyone talking and talking, he was upset for no reason. He could see that although Cheng Xi was able to be used and was able to drive, he had no ability to command troops. However, although Tian Yu was introverted, he had prestige in the hearts of Qingzhou soldiers, and his military achievements were not weak. He immediately said: "It is better to ask the prefect of Tian to come forward for such a military and national plan. He has always had strategies and prestige in the army. He ordered people to come back quickly and should not be neglected. He said that this time he came forward, not for private matters, but for state affairs."

The personal soldiers immediately took the order and left.

Cheng Xi was in a state of distraction and thought to himself: "I finally got the military power back, but now I have to be suppressed by Tian Yu, and I have to receive military power for less than five days."

The personal soldiers rushed to Tian Yu's mansion and asked Tian Yu to arrive as soon as possible, so that they would not refuse.

The young man in his thirties was surprised. It was Tian Pengzu, the son of Tian Yu, who was tall and mighty, with his eyes like a copper bell. He heard the cause and effect of this matter, and quickly reported to Tian Yu who was resting in the mansion. He sat up staggeringly, stretched his waist, and smiled and said, "I'm changing my mind again, and preparing to use me? It seems that the enemy has suffered a lot of losses, right?"

Tian Pengzu said in detail: "I heard that the nine islands that Qingzhou has been controlled for many years have fallen into the hands of Yan thieves."

"What?"

As soon as this said, Tian Yu's face was completely sleepy and shook his head and sighed: "Xiahou Xuan talked about war on paper, and Cheng Xi was even more a villain who played power and acted as a mighty man. Xiang Ri didn't listen to my husband's words to increase troops to fill the island. Now that the nine islands are falling, if the Yan bandits attack Qingzhou, if they don't take forty miles, the war will be burned to their eyebrows."

Tian Pengzu looked worried and smiled bitterly: "Xiahou Xuan ordered someone to come and invite his father. Are he planning to let his father clean up this mess?"

Tian Yu stroked his beard and said, "Thinkingly, Xiahou Xuan took away the military power as soon as he arrived. Now less than five days ago, Jiudao was lost, and the troops were directly aimed at the Donglai counties. If he did not expel the Yan thieves, he would be afraid that people would be shaken. Xiahou Xuan asked me to send troops as his father. It seemed that he had seen that Cheng Xi had no ability to use troops, so he had to order me to fight again, which was a remedy. I was afraid that Cheng Xi's villain's heart would cause secret trouble."

Tian Pengzu said: "My father made great contributions to the Wei State. He will win the battle and defeat the attack. He has never lost his achievements. Xiahou Xuan only likes villains who flatter and slap in the horse, which is exactly the same as the three dogs in Taichung in the court. Now that the nine islands are lost, the Yan thieves are good at using the fortifications on the island, so it is not easy to fight back."

"It's not just not easy. In order to defend Liaodong and block the connection between Gongsun Yuan and Sun Quan, I built fortifications on the nine islands without any sloppy or cutting corners. Cheng Xi, the villain, gave up Yu Yan's thief, was really useless."

Tian Yu put on his clothes and said, "Everyone knows his father's contribution to the State of Wei, and he doesn't need to always talk about it."

The father and son immediately rode in a carriage and rushed to Xiahou Xuan.

Xiahou Xuan was very polite when he got the carriage and bowed: "Premier Tian, ​​you really can't do this time without you. The Yan thieves are rampant and have always been cunning, so he took the opportunity to occupy Jiudao. I heard that the soldiers in Qingzhou are all the old subordinates of Prefect Tian. Only when you come forward can you boost morale."

Tian Yu said with a slight smile: "I have no choice for the country's major affairs. I have a silly body and can be loyal to the country. I will be wrapped in a horse and then die."

Xiahou Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and took his hand and said, "What should we do now?"

Tian Yu said: "Since the nine islands have been lost, the enemy attacked Qingzhou, less than forty miles away, the coastal area will be hit head-on at any time, so when capturing the thief, the king will be captured first. I suggest that I take charge of the army, my son will be the deputy, lead the troops to attack the South Island, and take the island back, so that the disintegration of people can be solved."

Xiahou Xuan nodded, "I wish Grandpa Tian a triumphant return."

Although he hated Tian Yu's strange temperament, he also knew his ability. If he talked about his qualifications, he was the most complicated element of the Great Wei Dynasty. From young to old age, he followed Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and Xian Yufu. Finally, he persuaded Xian Yufu to join Cao Cao. Tian Yu's record was even more impressive. He conquered Dai County in the north, shocked the northern border, attacked Zhou He, the envoy of Wu, and defeated Wu in the new city. Any military merit was enough to make people jealous.

Cheng Xi stared at Tian Yu's contentment, with anger on his face, and thought to himself: "This old guy takes over military power. If he doesn't find an opportunity to plot, he will not be a human being."

Everyone was careful, and Tian Yu also understood that if the battle could not go smoothly, it would be too difficult to unify the people's hearts with a governor like Cheng Xi, and I'm afraid they would take the opportunity to impeach and turn the blame.

He smiled and said, "Governor Cheng, Jiudao has fallen, your son has not been injured, right?"

Cheng Xi was stunned and replied, "Thank you all, your son has never been injured."

Tian Yu said: "It's great. If Mr. Cheng runs one step slower, he will probably be buried in the belly of a fish."
