The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 34 Defense

"Hurry up please!"

After seeing the token, Zhen Yao immediately invited the man in black into his villa.

The person who came was none other than Jin Yiwei under Liu Zheng.

The token he is holding represents the identity of Jin Yiwei.

When Zhen Yao was in Jianye, he had contact with Liu Zheng.

In addition, Liu Zheng had a lot of cooperation with the Zhen family before.

So Zhen Yao was quite familiar with these people in Jinyiwei. After seeing this token, he naturally understood that the people who came were not enemies, but the Jinyiwei sent by Liu Zheng.

Since it was Jin Yiwei, Zhen Yao would naturally entertain him well.

And directly invited this Jinyiwei into his manor to treat him a little bit.

It's just that Jin Yiwei didn't have the heart to eat and drink with Zhen Yao here.

After entering Zhuangzi, he immediately explained his purpose to Zhen Yao.

"Third Master of the Zhen family, I came here under orders to inform you of something important!"

The Jin Yiwei immediately said something to Zhen Yao.

When Zhen Yao saw Jin Yiwei, his face was serious and he didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately listened attentively.

"This brother just say what he has to say."

"The third master of the Zhen family, I am a hundred households of Jinyiwei stationed in Hejian County. I was ordered to take over all affairs of Jinyiwei in Hejian County. Not long ago, Hejian County was occupied by Yuan Xi's men. According to our lord's guess, Yuan Xi Xi's soldiers and horses will definitely come to attack Zhongshan Kingdom!"

The Jinyiwei Baihu said this to Zhen Yao, which really frightened Zhen Yao.

"Ah, then we don't want to leave here as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by Yuan Xi's men!"

Originally, Zhen Yao planned to leave, but now he was even more frightened after hearing the words of the Jinyiwei Baihu.

The Zhen family and Yuan Xi could be considered to have some hatred.Before the Zhen family did not support Yuan Xi.

As a result, Yuan Xi had a bad relationship with Yuan Xi. When Yuan Xi was still occupying Jizhou, he kept asking the Zhen family for food and grass.

The Zhen family also kept delaying Yuan Xi's request, and did not satisfy Yuan Xi, and even played Yuan Xi on purpose.

As a result, after Yuan Xi withdrew, he was also very dissatisfied with the Zhen family. The seeds of hatred were planted at that time.

Now that Yuan Xi came back with soldiers and horses again, he would naturally come to trouble the Zhen family immediately.

Zhen Yao would naturally feel afraid at this time, once he was caught by Yuan Xi's men.

Nothing good awaited him.

That's why when he heard the news, his first reaction was to flee from Zhongshan country.

But soon Jinyiwei Baihu told him again, telling him not to worry so much.

"The third master of the Zhen family, please be safe and don't be impatient."

"Although Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses have already arrived in the Zhongshan area, there is no good news at all. My lord has sent General Xu Huang and General Tai Shici to station in Jizhou, and now the troops of General Xu Huang and General Tai Shici are stationed here. In Balhae County."

"I was ordered to come here to discuss with the third master of the Zhen family. I just want the third master to stay in Zhongshan County for a while, to attract Yuan Xi's attention, and to fight back for our army. Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses will make some sacrifices."

After Zhen Yao heard Jin Yiwei's words, his face showed embarrassment.

But he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately asked carefully.

"My lord Jin Yiwei, what does your lord want me to do?"

"Actually, it's not a particularly difficult thing. My lord just hopes that the third master can stay in Zhongshan country for a while, and attract Yuan Xi's attention so that Yuan Xi can move all his troops to Zhongshan country."

Xu Huang and Tai Shici had actually arrived in Jizhou a few days ago.

It's just that after arriving in Jizhou, Xu Huang and Tai Shici didn't go directly to Hejian County to find Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses to fight.

Firstly, Xu Huang and Tai Shici carried no more than [-] cavalry.

There are no more troops than these Karasuma people.Even less than Karasuma and Yuan Xi combined.

Without knowing the enemy's situation, he rushed into Hejian County rashly.

For Xu Huang and Tai Shici, it was not good news.

So they were not in a hurry to attack, but to fight steadily first, and then make plans after occupying Bohai County step by step.

By the time they occupied Bohai County, Hejian County had already been completely defeated by Yuan Xi and the Karasuma people.

Hejian was defeated, and Bohai was still in his hands, so it was naturally impossible for Yuan Xi and Karasuma to directly kill Bohai County.

So Xu Huang and Tai Shici quickly judged them, and the only purpose was Zhongshan Kingdom.

Since they will go to Zhongshan country.The Zhen family of Zhongshan Kingdom became the object of Yuan Xi's attention.

Once the members of Zhen's family fled, this matter would definitely arouse Yuan Xi's vigilance. At that time, Yuan Xi might change his strategy and not go to Zhongshan, but continue to stay in Hejian.

And if the members of the Zhen family didn't escape, Yuan Xi would know about the Zhen family, and maybe he still didn't know about Hejian.

In this way, he will more or less send some soldiers to the Zhongshan Kingdom to plunder.

Xu Huang and Tai Shici were waiting for this time.

As long as Yuan Xi and Karasuma people will divide their troops.

With Xu Huang and Tai Shici, the current strength is enough to deal with any of these.

Xu Huang and Tai Shici stationed troops in Bohai Sea.If Yuan Xi goes to attack Zhongshan, then they will quickly send troops to Hejian to fight back the Hejian County occupied by Yuan Xi and the Karasuma people.

And if they continue to station troops in Hejian, then Xu Huang can only adapt accordingly.

Whether Yuan Xi will send troops depends on whether the members of the Zhen family in Zhongshan will escape.

In order to prevent the Zhen family from escaping too quickly, Xu Huang ordered Jin Yiwei to come to Zhongshan quickly to inform the Zhen family to stay here for a few days.

It only takes a few days to judge whether Yuan Xi will send troops to Zhongshan.

After saying this, Zhen Yao's expression became serious.

This is said lightly, but for Zhen Yao, it is risking his life.

Once Yuan Xi's men really came to Zhongshan, they would definitely go straight to the Zhen family in Wuji County.

At that time, Zhen Yao would not be able to react even if he wanted to.

Once caught by Yuan Xi's people, it is really a dead end.

Zhen Yao's face showed embarrassment.

"Master Jin Yiwei, do you think this matter is correct?"

Zhen Yao instinctively wanted to refuse.

But he was not done yet.The Jinyiwei Baihu spoke again.

"Third Master, I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than fear that we will not be able to guarantee your safety. You can rest assured about this. Our intelligence capabilities in Jizhou can definitely be said to be among the best. Once Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses make any changes , we will send Jinyiwei to tell you in advance."

Jin Yiwei's words are very confident that they have reached this point, even if Zhen Yao is full of reluctance, he can only agree to it for the time being.

Chapter 35 Change Strategy

"Okay then, since we've talked about this, if I refuse again, I won't give Liu Zheng face."

"But you must ensure my safety. After all, the horses that His Majesty Liu Zheng needs every year have to go through me to buy them from Zhongshan."

Zhen Yao emphasized again.

He raised his voice, and told the hundred households of the Jinyiwei about buying the horse. The purpose was actually to tell the Baihu of the Jinyiwei that he was still useful to Liu Zheng, and they must not abandon him.

"Don't worry, Sanye, our Jinyiwei is under His Majesty Liu Zheng. What you said will definitely be done. Leave your safety to us. Even if it's too late to escape, the Jinyiwei in Zhongshan will definitely escort Sanye to evacuate from here safely. "

Jin Yiwei once again assured Zhen Yao.

The frown on Zhen Yao's face finally eased a little.

Not so worried anymore.

The conversation between the two sides reached an agreement at this time.Zhen Yao, who originally planned to withdraw from Zhongshan, stopped again.

After Hejian County was broken, the whole Jizhou began to become turbulent.

Hejian County, within Lecheng County.

At this time, Lecheng County had completely become the main camp of Yuan Xi and Ta Dun.

Ta Dun commanded the troops and carried out a frenzied looting in Hejian County.

After the past few days, he finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Although Liu Zheng gave Yuan Shang an order to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in Jizhou, reducing the existence of villages outside and moving the population into the city.

But after Lecheng County was lost, the other counties in Hejian County could not be kept, and they were beaten down one by one by Yuan Xi and Tadun's troops.

There were some food and grass in these cities, although some were destroyed, it was enough for Yuan Xi and Ta Dun's troops to relieve their urgent needs.

"General Tadun, Hejian County has been completely taken down by us now. What are your plans next?"

"Plan? Naturally continue to attack Jizhou. Hejian County has not robbed too much food and grass. The tens of thousands of cavalry under my command are still waiting for food. My sons want to continue to help you. Call back the whole Jizhou!"

"Going back to Jizhou must be done. What I'm asking is, which county should I take next?"

Yuan Xi and Ta Dun started their next plan in the county town of Lecheng.

As Xu Huang expected, after capturing Hejian, the first thing Yuan Xi wanted to do was to change his course and go straight to Zhongshan.

After all, the Zhen family in Zhongshan made Yuan Xi's teeth itch with hatred.

Yuan Xi couldn't swallow this breath without destroying the Zhen family.

However, if he wants to do this, he still has some personal feelings. If he directly directs these soldiers and horses of the Karasuma people, Tadun may not be willing.

That's why Yuan Xi wanted to persuade these Karasuma people.

"Qinghe County, Qinghe is close to Yecheng. As long as we take down Qinghe County, we will definitely be able to take the opportunity to take back Yecheng. By then, the whole Jizhou will not be our racetrack, so we can come here wherever we want?"

Ta Dun is obviously a little arrogant.

When Yuan Xi heard Ta Dun's words, he couldn't help but have some haze on his face.

Still advised immediately.

"General Tadun, this statement is wrong."

"Ok?"

Ta Dun frowned, looked at Yuan Xi, not understanding what Yuan Xi meant.

"General Tadun, I don't think it is a very wise decision to attack Qinghe County now."

"how do I say this?"

"The soldiers and horses we fought against Yuan Shang here before should have all retreated to Qinghe at this time. If we go to Qinghe now, we will definitely encounter their stubborn resistance."

"Besides, even if we can really capture Qinghe, we will definitely lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and we may not be able to continue to attack Jizhou and go to Yecheng more. General Tadun, don't forget that the purpose of our coming here this time is to rob Grain is here."

Yuan Xi spoke carefully and eloquently, and told Tadun what he wanted to say.

After a while, it seems to make sense.

He also nodded.

"Then Mr. Yuan Xi thinks, where should we fight?"

"Zhongshan!"

Yuan Xi quickly said something to Tadun.

"Zhongshan? Isn't Zhongshan next to Bingzhou? If we go to attack Zhongshan, your idea is to abandon Jizhou and attack Bingzhou?"

Ta Dun didn't understand Yuan Xi's intention of attacking Zhongshan.

Yuan Xi also knew that he would not be able to understand this guy if he just stumbled, so he continued to explain immediately.

"Our purpose is to plunder the food and grass in Jizhou, and who is the richest family in Jizhou? Isn't it the Zhen family? Both the Zhen family and the Zhang family are from Zhongshan, and Zhongshan is the richest group of people. If we want to rob food and grass, there is nothing wrong with going to Zhongshan."

"Besides, the soldiers and horses in Jizhou are now deployed near Qinghe. Zhongshan must not have many soldiers and horses. It is absolutely no problem for us to attack Zhongshan now, and it will definitely have a miraculous effect."

What Yuan Xi said was not wrong, it was a normal operation, it was not easy to defeat Qinghe, but changing the way of thinking and attacking Zhongshan could get a lot of rewards instead.
