After taking all the military powers in Huang County, Tian Pengzu also began a series of defense and re-changing strategies for combat. The soldiers and civilians cooperated with each other and made steady progress.

After all, he had 4,000 troops, of which 3,000 were all elites of the Wei Kingdom, which greatly increased Tian Pengzu's confidence and could consciously defend Huang County and achieve safety in the rear of his father's 30,000 army.

"Young Master, the Yan bandits in Ye County, really gather 30,000 troops?"

Han Sheng was not very sarcastic when facing Cheng Pei. Moreover, as Tian Yu's old subordinate, the two sides had the same situation and had different political views.

During the time they were guarding Huang County together, they were very stubborn. Fortunately, Mr. Tian defeated him in one fell swoop.

Tian Pengzu smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course it's fake. The Yan thief uses a wonderful military force. What he thought is very obvious. He even used straw to till tens of thousands of straw men, which scared Xiahou Xuan to flee in a hurry and threw it to Yan thief a big city. In my guess, there are only thousands of soldiers in the city."

Han Sheng then breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "That's fine, Yan Thief is really difficult to deal with."

The battle of Ye County almost shocked the eyes of the soldiers of Qingzhou. The Yan army seemed to have entered a state of no one. There was a story about using magic to turn scarecrows into soldiers. The more they spread, it became more and more incredible. Although knowledgeable people would not be deceived by this simple trick, it also highlighted the terrifying aspects of the Yan army.

Tian Pengzu sneered several times and said seriously: "I didn't expect such a result. My Tian family has been practicing troops in Qingzhou for many years to temper a tiger and wolf army for the Great Wei. Unfortunately, the leader was Xiahou Xuan, who was not engaged in military affairs, and Cheng Xi, a villain who was a villain, which led to a great defeat."

Han Shengshen said with satisfaction: "In fact, our Qingzhou is strong and powerful. With many enemies, it was a sure victory, but it was a situation where people lost their territory."

Speaking of this, he frowned: "When Yan State is facing two marchs from our Great Wei, Gongsun Xiu will not send tens of thousands of troops to Qingzhou as long as his mind is not a problem."

"That's natural. Qingzhou is a partial army after all. The imperial guards led by the general, and the Youzhou soldiers are the main force."

He patted Han Sheng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "As long as we do the logistics and supplies for the general to attack Liao in terms of grain transport, we will have made great contributions."

Huang County was one of the granaries of the Wei army to attack Liao. When Sima Yi attacked Liao, he established a garrison in Huang County, and then transported the grain through sea routes to Liaokou. This was also an important channel for Qingzhou to transport grain.

If the island chain cannot be recaptured, in the future, you have to bypass the island chain before you can send it from Qingzhou to Liaodong.

And detours are itself a taboo in using troops.

Since ancient times, there have been dangerous cities in the city that have been guarded by the generals who can attack the city rarely choose to detour, but they are pushing through the road to defeat the generals.

A large part of the reason is that the detour is an extremely unprofitable military operation. Assuming that the normal marching route is to take a destination for one month, the detour may have to take two more months.

The march is a large-scale transfer of personnel, with an army of 50,000 or 100,000 at any time. The extra two months of journey will bring a huge load on the transportation of food and grass, and the food and grass required is an astonishing astronomical figure.

And the most important thing is that the detour will be attacked by the enemy from the rear, which is even more deadly. The well-equipped army in the front will naturally not be afraid of attacks, but the slow-moving baggage troops in the rear will suffer, and will easily be defeated, and the entire army will collapse.

It seems that the defending city side cannot stand like a turtle, but as if it is not very courageous, the attacking city side will sneak attack the baggage behind at any time as long as the attacking city side dares to take a detour.

Therefore, as long as it is not an excellent and confident fighter opportunity, famous generals from all dynasties in ancient times will not choose to detour, but will attack one city after another from near to far, which is responsible for the baggage troops in the rear.

Tian Pengzu knew very well that if he could not regain the island chain before Cao Shuang's army entered Liaodong, he would be forced to change the food route, which would inevitably cost a huge price.

"Go and prepare the military supplies."

Tian Pengzu ordered the task and waved his hand casually, still looking at the horizon.

Han Sheng was excited: "Yes."

Ye County.

Tian Yu was stationed in the camp and led the army straight to the city. He frowned and saw signs of straw burning outside the city. He thought to himself: "At this point, I still hide the scarecrow and destroy it. I am going to make it mysterious again? Humph, I really want to treat me as a fool."

Liu Zhi heard Tian Yu lead a large army to the city, and immediately led Liu Qu, Yan Xu and the others to the top of the city. The eyes of both sides touched the head of the city.

Tian Yu looked up at the people on the top of the city and sneered: "What other mysterious thing do you plan to make? You might as well use it together."

Liu Zhi laughed and said, "This city has been occupied by me. Tens of thousands of Yan troops are stationed here. Why should we be afraid of you, a decadent old man? The magic weapon is easier. Heaven will return to Yan. Taishou Tian is a smart person. Why not vote for me, Dayan, and there will be a day of pride in the future."

Tian Yu smiled faintly: "I am old and have been loyal for the rest of my life. I cannot come and my evening will not be protected. How can I dare to express my destiny in a small place in Yan State? Don't think that you can win by using some conspiracies. Small tricks will never come to the forefront."

Liu Zhi never dared to take this veteran lightly. He knew that ordinary strategies could not deceive him. He sarcastically said: "Premier Tian, ​​who are you loyal to? Is it Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, or Cao Wei now? In life, can you write three different words in one stroke?"

Tian Yu was not angry, but felt that Liu Zhi's ridicule was not at all at all, and said lightly: "I only know that the Yan King Gongsun Xiu of your country is a capricious villain. He rebelled against Wu and Wei, rebelled against Wei, resigned from his own power, and resigned from his vassal again. Now he rebelled against the Great Wei, and there may never be such shameless people in the world."

Once this statement was made, all the soldiers of the three armies laughed.

Yan Xu was furious and said to Liu Zhi: "The last general requested to leave the city and fight."

"No hurry."

Liu Zhi waved his hand and said to Tian Yu under the city with a light wind and clouds: "Prince Tian, ​​don't say anything lightly. I know that you are depressed and unsuccessful now. If you have a wise ruler, even if the prefect is old, you will have the opportunity to show your talents. No matter how bad it is, you can still be blessed with your descendants. I have 30,000 armors in this city, and there are 10,000 reinforcements coming. I hope the prefect will not wait until it is hard to escape before begging for surrender. It is still time to turn swords into jade and silk."

Tian Yu thought you still have reinforcements? It was just a trick of turning your left hand into your right hand. He sneered: "This joke can only deceive the three-foot Tong Meng, but I can't deceive me. If there are 30,000 soldiers in your city and tens of thousands of reinforcements are coming, is your country's King of Yan going to abandon Liaodong to cross Qingzhou and use this place as a separatist? If Gongsun Xiu could see the situation clearly, he should know what is impossible. If he surrenders to our Great Wei as soon as possible, he can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life without causing any loss."

Liu Zhi pretended to be angry after being exposed, and said evilly: "Since Tai Shou is obsessed with it, I will kill you until the reinforcements arrive. I will shoot arrows!"

The word "shooting arrow" was said to the defenders at the city wall, and turned around and walked backwards. The Yan army received the order in an instant, and seven rows of archers lined up at the city wall, each leading their bows to the forty-five corners of the sky.

With a "swish", the arrow fell like rain.

Tian Yu thought to himself that Liu Zhi seemed to have been poked into the pain by himself, so he sneered and walked backwards, without looking back: "Start the siege quickly."

The two sides were ready to fight and a desperate showdown took place.

The Wei army won because it was full of war-torn soldiers and was also superior in terms of quantity.

As for the Yan army, although the number of people was scarce, after all, after taking over Ye County, there was almost no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. There was danger of the city gate. It was not easy to attack, but it was not difficult to defend. It was just the same as the intention of being a man as a man, and tens of thousands of men could not open up.

Just as the fierce siege broke out and the two sides fought hard, the seven thousand troops led by Yang Zuo and Deng Zhong had quietly arrived along the coast.

More than a hundred civilian ships advanced in unison, and their power was terrifying.

Yang Zuo immediately ordered that all civilian ships would be equipped with the flag of Yan State, and the storms were shaking on the sea, and the flags would also be rushing.

When the people along the coast saw this kind of situation, they knew that the Yan army was coming again. They were in panic and fled.

When Deng Zhong saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel funny and said, "Our army unknowingly, the people were about to flee when they saw it."

Yang Zuo laughed: "The war between the two countries has always been like this. It is said that the only people who are truly suffering. No matter whether they win or lose, they do not forget to abduct the people when they retreat to make up for the trouble. When Shu Kingdom first made a northern expedition, because of the defeat of Jieting, Zhuge Liang was forced to withdraw his troops and drove more than a thousand families in Xixian back to Hanzhong."

Deng Zhong sighed and said, "It would be great if we could seize Qingzhou and put it into the territory of our Great Yan. The people living here will be as if they were in Yan State."

Yang Zuoshen agreed and nodded, "As long as he defeated Tian Yu and forced him to escape from Donglai County, the remaining counties would be like taking things out of his bag if he wanted to seize them."

Deng Zhong pointed to the shore and said, "Are we going to dock here?"

“Don’t dock here.”

Yang Zuo smiled and pointed at the bundles of ropes in the cabin, all brought from Yan State, and said with a smile: "The shore here is too obvious. The king has already ordered me to dock in another steep place."

Deng Zhong said with a little puzzled: "We don't dock in this flat location, but we have to choose a steep place to dock? The king's holy intention is a bit strange."

Yang Zuo smiled and said, "You don't know anything about this. Walking fifty miles to the right, there is a place called Jiuzhang Cliff. The cliff is as its name, and the highest point is indeed nine feet high. The cliff is extremely standing, which is daunting. We will go ashore from that side."

Deng Zhong was even more puzzled and frowned and said, "Why is this? Is it just to pick a place in such a dangerous place to get ashore just to avoid the eyes and ears of the Wei army?"

"You guessed it right, I asked the king in that way."

Yang Zuo remembered the words that Gongsun Xiu told him, and smiled on his face. At this time, he just repeated them to Deng Zhong and said seriously: "You can't even guess our army is going to dock from the most steepest Jiuzhang Cliff, let alone Tian Yu and others? They can't guess it thoroughly, nor can they think of it."

Deng Zhong was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was a strange marching route, and said with a wry smile: "General Yang, I am stupid, I really can't guess what the king thinks."

Yang Zuo waved his hand: "Don't say it's you, the ministers at that time could not have expected it. Just imagine that Liu Zhi used the strategy of inflating troops to scare Xiahou Xuan away. If he uses the same trick again, he will definitely fall into a inferior position. Moreover, Tian Yu and his son are not stupid people, and they understand that it is our trick to deceive him no matter what."

Speaking of this, he patted his shoulder: "And our army showed that it was still the same trick. We led our army to the vicinity of Jiuzhang Cliff, and these 120 civilian ships were deliberately sailing here, and they had attracted the attention of the Wei army. The Wei army believed that our army had inflated its forces and would inevitably send troops to chase them, so they could order the civilian ships to lead the Wei army to drift on the sea. We took advantage of the advance and retreat of Jiuzhang Cliff. When the Wei army realized that they were cheated, we had already attacked the city of Huangxian."

Deng Zhong said "Ah", and then he suddenly realized and was shocked: "So that's it, it's good, not bad. We ordinary people really can't figure out the king's thoughts. By the time the enemy's most unexpected place, we can deceive everyone. When the Wei army comes back, Huang County has become the second city occupied by our army."

Yang Zuo laughed and nodded, "That's right."

Immediately ordered the boatman to turn the bow and sail towards Jiuzhang Cliff.

Scouts from Huangxian came flying and reported to Tian Pengzu that they found more than 100 Yan army ships along the coast.

Han Sheng thought that the news seemed familiar, and frowned and said, "More than a hundred warships?"

The scout wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head and said, "That's not, there are more than a hundred civilian ships, including fishing boats."

Han Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed: "It's another trick to inflate troops."

Tian Pengzu smiled and shook his head and said, "The only trick in Yan's thief is, it's okay to deceive Xiahou Xuan. Do you still want to deceive us? If Yan State could increase its troops to support it, it would have sent troops to support it long ago. Why wait until today?"

Han Sheng nodded: "No, it's the Void Bing."

Tian Pengzu asked the scout and said, "Did you see if there are any people on the boat?"

The scout looked up and thought for a while and said, "The civilian ships were very well-dressed. I think there were people on the ships. They should be hiding in the cabin. Judging from the number of soldiers walking on the deck, there may be more than a thousand people."

Now I felt completely relieved. Tian Pengzuxi said: "In other words, the ship is shaking along the coast and has not landed?"

The scout said: "Young Master Mingjian, the ships have not landed on the shore and are all wandering around, as if they are unwilling to land."

Tian Pengzu sneered: "He naturally dared not land. The Yan army has always been cunning. Even the strategy of the grass-rooted man can be used. I believe that there are only more than a thousand people exposed on the deck on the more than a hundred ships. The so-called "fair and solid" and "fair" must be intentional tricks. As for the ship's deep water, it can fill in some stones, sand and other things into the cabin, and they can also get away with it and all the soldiers are hidden in the cabin."

Han Sheng clapped and smiled, "Yes, the young master's words are exactly the same as Xia Guan's guess."

Speaking of this, there is a doubt: "But, where did these Yan troops come out? Why did they recruit so many civilian ships? If they are really reinforcements, they need to pay attention."

Tian Pengzu seemed to be holding the wise bead, with a light shining in his eyes, and said lightly: "No need to be suspicious. In my guess, the Yan army, which was pretending to be a ghost along the coast and pretending to increase troops, should be the Yan army stationed from the South Island. Deng Zhong was probably about 2,000 people on the South Island. It seems that Liu Zhi saw that my father led a 30,000 army to besiege Ye County, and in desperation, he ordered people to use such a trick to be aroused by the panic of the counties."

Han Sheng was amazed, "So that's it."

The scout hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I always feel that this time is not empty. There seems to be a lot of soldiers on the ship-"

Tian Pengzu glared at the scout: "Bastard, if Xiahou Xuan had not been cheated, how could he have lost Ye County? If he had been cheated twice, we would not have to fight with the enemy anymore. We would just kill him."

The scout said lightly, and dared not say anything more, and stood beside him with his head down.
