Chiping is named Chiping because the county is located in the "Pinglu of Chishan".

The city of Chiping is located at the eastmost point of Dongchang Road, and there are east-west official roads that pass directly through. Therefore, just like Qihe and Jinan, this city is also a gate for Mao Zhengliang's troops to enter Dongchang.

A few years ago, Tian Feng, who attacked Mao Zhengliang, also sent troops to conquer Qihe.

Therefore, four days after the army marched, the 60,000 troops led by Mao Zhengliang came to ten miles west of Chiping City.

But then, Mao Zhengliang didn't think that he thought he would need a big battle before he could enter the city, but he had just strangled the horse under his crotch. The gate of Chiping City slowly opened under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.

"We are willing to surrender and present the city to the king. We only ask for mercy on the king and do not add wars!"

The county magistrates in Chiping City and the wealthy families in the city walked out of the city gate at this time with bare shirtless. Just as tens of thousands of eyes were watching, the shirtless county magistrate couldn't help but shout at the top of his voice while walking.

Seeing this, Mao Zhengliang couldn't help but be stunned.

So he, surrounded by a group of personal guards, couldn't help but look at Han Xi and Chen Qitou beside him.

Chen Qitou: "King, Tian Jun surrendered without fighting, I'm afraid there is a fraud. Why don't you let me go and see it for the king?"

"Okay," Mao Zhengliang nodded, but he never expected that the scene in front of him would happen.

Therefore, Chen Qitou, as the marshal, couldn't help but greet him and ran towards the people who had left the city with more than ten cavalry.

Military advisor Han Xi took advantage of this skill and after a little thought, he couldn't help but speak: "Although Chiping is the west gate of Dongchang Road, the city is not big.

Even if the ambush soldiers were set up, there would not be many people hidden. Moreover, the surrender was so refreshing and sudden that the matter caused a lot of abnormalities. So, I think they were likely to have really surrendered.

There are probably no Tian army troops in this Chiping City.”

"Yes, it shouldn't be like this. Tian Feng took some effort to seize Dongchang Road. Now, he has no reason to give in to the city in the territory!

Pass our military orders to cheer up the soldiers, be careful and save them from being trapped."

Mao Zhengliang still didn't believe that Tian Feng would really give in to the territory under his control. He felt that the scene before him must be not simple.

Therefore, after Chen Qi, who was currently inquiring, came back from riding his horse, Mao Zhengliang asked: "How, what have these shirtless guys said?"

"King, according to the surrendered Magistrate of Chiping County, the soldiers and horses in the city had been withdrawn three days ago. Today, Chiping is simply an empty city and no one guards."

"What!" Mao Zhengliang was shocked when he heard this.

Then the next doubt came to my mind, "This happened, why is there no news from the secret guard?"

The secret guard is equivalent to the spy agency in later generations, and its main responsibility is to collect intelligence for him.

But as a result, let alone the Tian army's military deployment and tactical plan, they even knew nothing about when the Tian army would withdraw.

Thinking of this, Mao Zhengliang couldn't help but frown and became dissatisfied with Ji Qi's ability to do things.

But at this time, Mao Zhengliang would not have revealed these emotions.

So after frowned slightly, Mao Zhengliang ordered: "Since that's the case, then no matter what medicine is sold in Tian Feng's gourd.

Let Zhou Yanjun lead three thousand troops into the city, and take Chiping City first before talking about it."

"I obey the order." Chen Qitou agreed upon hearing this.

Therefore, a wave of order flags was seen, and a total of 3,000 troops and horses could not help but rush into Chiping City. The county government, warehouses and important places in Chiping City were all controlled.

Therefore, half an hour after Zhou Yanjun led his troops into the city, Mao Zhengliang and the senior generals under the tent drove into Chiping City surrounded by guards, and occupied the place without bloodshed.

...

"The defenders of Chiping City left three days ago. Just now, Xu Jizu sent me news that the same was true for Boping. At this time, there was not even a single guard of the city. Tian Feng gave us the help of it.

You guys, what medicine can you sell in this old thief Tian Feng’s gourd?"

At night, when Boping, forty miles away from here, also heard the same news. Mao Zhengliang, who couldn't figure out what Tian Feng would do next, couldn't help but summon Jiang Zuo, who had a position of more than 10,000 households, was unable to tell what was going on.

However, when Mao Zhengliang said this, these generals looked at me and I looked at you, but they looked mostly frowning.

"The defenders of Chiping and Boping have been withdrawn. Could it be that Tian Feng intends to gather all the troops under his command in Liaocheng to fight against us?"

"It is unlikely. The key to defending a city is to 'resist the enemy from the outside'. That is, rely on the cities on the road that the enemy must pass to delay the enemy's time and eliminate the enemy's spirit. In order to achieve the goal of defending instead of attacking.

But now, there are no obstacles on our way to Liaocheng, and the army has occupied the two cities without bloodshed, and the morale is like a rainbow. At this time, how can we resist the army's military with the lonely city that is not very tall and strong just by relying on Liaocheng?

If Tian Feng really does this, wouldn’t he seek death?”

"Well, this is reasonable. But Tian Feng withdraws his troops is a fact. You said, is this old thief afraid? So he dare not fight with us."

"This is unlikely. Then Tian Feng is also a landlord in the troubled times. He doesn't even have the courage."

"Not necessarily, I think it's really possible."

"Come on, how could this be possible!"

“…”

Mao Zhengliang didn't say anything at this time, so the people below naturally started a messy discussion.

However, seeing that the more these people are discussing, the more unrealistic they are, Mao Zhengliang couldn't help but frown and said, "Shut up". He directly interrupted the messy speeches of these people.

Then, Mao Zhengliang looked at Han Xi and Chen Qitou who were sitting in the hall, who had been silent, and couldn't help asking them: "Mr. Han, Marshal Chen.

One of you is the lonely think tank and the other is the lonely arm. I wonder what you two have to think about this matter?”

"This..." Suddenly, when Mao Zhengliang asked a question, Chen Qitou, as the marshal, paused. But then, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Tian Feng is not a timid person, and it is definitely impossible for him to not dare to fight because of fear.

The reason why he is doing this now is probably gathering strength to hold his fists and fight us in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, there is no reason for Tian Feng to do this."
