Yan Liang sat on the hillside, his sword crossed his leg, and his big hand gently patted the old scabbard, worried.

Fuyong Mountain is not an insurmountable mountain, and his troops are not enough to hold all the crossings, but Tian Kai panicked, and he was no longer able to command his subordinates, worried that the casualties of the strong attack would shake the morale of the army and completely collapse, so he did not force a breakthrough, but waited for reinforcements.

The reinforcements have arrived in Chunyu, there are about twenty or thirty thousand people, with bright armor, and the ranks are cleaned, and they are an elite division. Yan Liang had long heard that Sun Ce was known for his military training, and most of the officers and men under his command did not do other things, and their daily routine was military training, and a review was held every ten days and a half to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the test. Of course, such soldiers are more refined than those recruited casually, but Yan Liang is not worried about this. He knows very well that no matter how good the training is, it is still training, and the school field is the school field, not the battlefield. His subordinates only have more than 7,000 people, but they are the elite who have been saved after more than a year of war tests, and the combat effectiveness tempered on the battlefield is by no means comparable to that of the recruits trained on the school field.

According to the information received by Yuan Xi, these people have not experienced a real war before, from the commander of the army to the ordinary soldiers. The most surprising thing is Shen You, the commander of the army. Shen You is only in his early twenties and has no experience in commanding troops at all, so there is probably only one reason why he can undertake such a task: the Shen family is one of the leading families in Wu County.

When he heard the news for the first time, Yan Liang was somewhat disappointed. It is said that Sun Ce is an enemy of the family and does not pay attention to his background, but in the end, he still uses the same portal to employ people. It's no wonder that the family wants money and money, there are people, and thousands of people can be organized at any time, and there is no need to start from an ordinary pawn and accumulate military merits. Of Shen You's more than 20,000 people, half of them may be his and his relatives. Even if it was him, he was not alone when he was attached to Yuan Xi, and the more than two hundred elite guards around him were the Yan family members he brought. It was precisely by relying on the bloody battles of these tribes that he was able to make repeated military exploits and quickly became an indispensable general under Yuan Xi.

So he was just a little disappointed, and then there was a hint of inexplicable joy.

Yuan Xi finally came to the battle after delaying for several days, but because the march was too urgent, he was accidentally attacked by someone, and the loss of baggage was not small, and it would take at least two or three days to replenish these baggage, and Shen You was already close at hand. If Shen You attacks, he will be caught between Shen You and Tian Kai, and it will be difficult to block Tian Kai's breakthrough. If Shen You stood still for two or three days, his pressure would be much less.

A young man who is just leading an army for the first time, will he be greedy for merit, or will he be cautious? Yan Liang hoped that Shen You was the latter.

In the distance, a knight came running, turned over and dismounted at the bottom of the slope, walked up the slope quickly, came to Yan Liang, bowed his hand, and reported the news. The message is simple, pretty much the same as before. Chun Yu was very quiet, and Shen You showed no signs of sending troops. But there was a slight difference, two groups of men and horses went out of the city, one to the south and the other to the north, four or five thousand men each.

After listening to the report, Yan Liang asked the guards to spread out the cowhide map, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but snort, and then sighed again. Judging from all indications, Shen You should not have the courage to attack head-on, so he sent people to spread out to both wings. These two groups are likely to be suspicious soldiers, or they may be reinforcements preparing to meet Tian Kai's breakthrough, or it is more likely that they are both, one is a suspicious soldier and the other is a reinforcement. But it didn't bother him. No matter how many teams Shen You sent, he just needs to watch Tian Kai. Whichever direction Tian Kai moves, the real reinforcements are in which direction.

Yan Liang immediately increased the number of scouts who monitored Tian Kai, and strictly ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle. As long as Tian Kai has any abnormal movements, he will attack, defeat Tian Kai before Shen You's main force arrives, and then face Shen You wholeheartedly. If Shen You can be defeated, the outcome of the battle in Qingzhou can be determined, and he will be the first to act.

The herald left, Yan Liang stroked the scabbard and stared at the horizon in the distance. Chun Yu was there, and Shen You was there.

——

As soon as the footsteps outside the tent sounded, Tian Kai woke up. He rolled over and sat up, and Sun Qian walked in quickly.

"Envoy, General Shen has a book to ......"

"Bring it to me." Tian Kai couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and snatch the letter from Sun Gan's hand. After Chen Zhi left, he regretted it a little and felt that Chen Zhi should be left behind. One is that these knights are rare elites who can help themselves, especially when breaking through foot positions. The second is that when Chen arrives here, Shen You must come to help, and his chances of breaking through will increase by one percent. Because of a momentary mood, it is a pity to let this opportunity go in vain.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and Tian Kai can only hope that Shen You will come to reinforcements now.

Sun Qian stood aside with his hands arched, lowered his head, and looked at the look on Tian Kai's face with the corner of his eye. He had already read the letter, knew Shen You's arrangement, and sniffed out the intention behind Shen You's move. He doesn't blame Shen You, this is Tian Kai's own fault, how can someone desperately save you, but you are nitpicking. Now it's good, see how many days you can do this Qingzhou Thorn History, Shen You occupies the east of Fuyong Mountain, and Yuan Xi is behind him, see if the official seal in your hand will fall into Shen You's hands, or Yuan Xi's hands.

Tian Kai's haggard face twitched twice, and his arm was put down weakly. No matter how stupid he was, he understood the meaning of Shen You's words. Shen You will not take the initiative to attack Yan Liang, he will only meet him east of Wenshui, and it is up to him to break through.

Tian Kai glanced up at Sun Qian and shook the letter in his hand. "Gongyu, what can I do?"

Sun Qian licked his lips and carefully considered his words. Tian Kai was already a fish swimming at the bottom of the kettle, but he didn't want to anger Tian Kai, so he was cut by him. When Shen You defeated Yuan Xi, his future had just begun. "Envoy, why don't you discuss this matter with Teng?"

Tian Kai thought about it and felt reasonable. Sun Qian is good at receiving people and things, but he has never led soldiers, and he has to find soldiers to engage in Teng Tan in this matter. He immediately asked people to invite Teng Tan. It didn't take long for Teng Tan to push the tent in, and a cold air came to his face. Tian Kai glanced at the hoarfrost on Teng Tan's beard and sighed secretly. Needless to say, Teng Tan personally patrolled the camp and never disarmed him overnight.

"Shusi, look at this." Tian Kai handed over the letter.

Teng Tan took it in his hand and quickly browsed it, his thick eyebrows quietly frowned. He thought for a moment, then slowly calmed down. "Don't worry about it, General Shen should be suspicious and confuse Yan Liang. In three or five days at most, he will definitely launch an offensive, and our army should be ready to break through. ”

"How do you break through?"

"Divide the troops, one to the south, to Yingling, Anqiu, and one to the north, to Duchang Xiami." Teng Tan arched his hand. "Dare to fight, please stay in the camp on behalf of the envoy to reject Yuan Xi."

Tian Kai looked at Teng Tan for a moment, tore off the seal of Qingzhou Thorn History from his waist, and put it in Teng Tan's hand. "Shusi, you are a kind person."
