Yan Liang sat on the hillside, with a sword lying across his legs, and his big hand gently patted the old scabbard, worried.

Fuzeng Mountain is not an insurmountable mountain, and its military strength is not enough to guard all the intersections. However, Tian Kai was panicked and was unable to control his subordinates. He was worried that the casualties of the strong attack would shake the army's morale and completely collapse. He did not forcefully break through, but waited for reinforcements.

The reinforcements had arrived in Chunyu, with about 20,000 or 30,000 people, with distinctive armor and purging troops, and were elite troops. Yan Liang had long heard that Sun Ce was known for his military training. Most of his soldiers were not doing other things. His daily life was training. He held a school review every ten or a half months to compete for the length and length of the competition. Of course, such soldiers were more refined than those recruited casually, but Yan Liang was not worried about this. He knew very well that no matter how good the training was, it was training. The school ground was the school ground, not the battlefield. His subordinates had only more than 7,000 people, but they were the elite troops accumulated after more than a year of war tests. The combat power tempered on the battlefield was definitely not comparable to the new recruits trained on the battlefield.

This group of people just arrived in Jiangdong. According to the information received by Yuan Xi, these people had never experienced a real war before. From commanding generals to ordinary soldiers, all of them were like this. The most surprising thing was the commanding general Shen You. Shen You was only in his early twenties and had no experience in commanding troops. There is probably only one reason why he could undertake such a task: the Shen family is one of the leading families in Wu County.

When Yan Liang first heard this news, he was somewhat disappointed. It is said that Sun Ce was an enemy of aristocratic family and did not value his family, but in the end, he still used people with people. It is no wonder that aristocratic family needs money and have some people, and they can organize thousands of people at any time. There is no need to start from an ordinary soldier and accumulate military merits. Among the more than 20,000 people of Shen You, half of them were his and his relatives. Even when he was dependent on Yuan Xi, he was not alone. The more than 200 elite guards around him were the Yan family corps he brought. It was precisely through the bloody battles of these troops that he made many military achievements and quickly became an indispensable general under Yuan Xi.

So he was just a little disappointed, and then he felt a little inexplicably happy.

Yuan Xi finally arrived for several days after delaying the battle, but because of the marching too quickly, he was attacked by someone for a moment of carelessness. The loss of supplies was quite large. It would take at least two or three days to replenish these supplies, and Shen You were already close. If Shen You launched an attack, he would be attacked by Shen You and Tian Kai, and it would be difficult to block Tian Kai's breakthrough again. If Shen You did not move for two or three days, his pressure would be much smaller.

A young man who has just led a large army will be greedy for merit or be cautious? Yan Liang hopes that Shen You are the latter.

A knight rushed over in the distance, rolled over and dismounted from the slope, quickly walked up the slope, came to Yan Liang, bowed and reported the news. The news was very simple, almost the same as before. Chunyu was very quiet, and Shen You showed no sign of sending troops. It was just a little different. Two teams left the city, one to the south and the other to the north, each with four or five thousand people.

After listening to the report, Yan Liang asked his personal guard to spread the cowhide map. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but snorted, and then sighed again. Judging from all the signs, Shen You should not have the courage to attack head-on, so he sent people to spread to the two wings. These two teams may be suspicious soldiers, or they may be reinforcements that were about to respond to Tian Kai's breakthrough, and it is more likely to have both, one is suspicious soldiers and the other is reinforcements. But this is not difficult for him. No matter how many teams Shen You sent, he just needs to watch Tian Kai. In which direction Tian Kai moves, the real reinforcements are in which direction.

Yan Liang then increased the scouts to monitor Tian Kai and ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle. As long as Tian Kai had any abnormal movement, he would attack and defeat Tian Kai before Shen You's main force arrived, and then face Shen You wholeheartedly. If Shen You could defeat Shen You, the outcome of the battle in Qingzhou would be determined, and he would be the first contribution.

The messenger left, Yan Liang stroked the scabbard and stared at the horizon in the distance. Chunyu was there, and Shen You were there too.

——

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

"Empress, General Chen has a book..."

"Take it and see it." Tian Kai couldn't wait to extend his hand and snatch the letter from Sun Gan's hand. After Chen Da left, he felt a little regretful and thought that Chen Da should be left behind. First, these knights are rare elites, which can help him, especially when breaking through the infantry position. Second, Chen Da is here, Shen You must come to help, and his chances of breaking through increased by 10%. Because of the momentary intention, 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 reinforce.

Sun Gan stood beside him with his hands bowed, lowered his head, and looked at the expression on Tian Kai's face from the corner of his eyes. He had read the letter, knew Shen You's arrangements, and also smelled the intention behind Shen You's move. He didn't blame Shen You, because Tian Kai took it upon himself. No one tried his best to save you, but you were nitpicking. Now, it depends on how many days you can do as the governor of Qingzhou. Shen You occupy the east of Fu Zong Mountain, and Yuan Xi is behind him. See if the official seal on your hand will fall into Shen You's hands, or Yuan Xi's hands.

Tian Kai's haggard face twitched twice, and his arms were put down weakly. No matter how stupid he was, he understood what Shen You meant. Shen You would not take the initiative to attack Yan Liang, but would only respond to him east of Wenshui. It depends on him to break through.

Tian Kai looked up at Sun Gan and shook the letter in his hand. "Gongyou, what can you do?"

Sun Gan licked his lips and carefully considered the words. Tian Kai was already a fish swimming under the cauldron, but he didn't want to anger Tian Kai, so he was chopped by him. When Shen You defeated Yuan Xi, his future had just begun. "Empress, why not discuss this military use with Teng?"

Tian Kai thought about it and felt it was reasonable. Sun Gan was good at receiving people and treating things, but he had never led the troops. Teng Dan had to work with the military officers. He immediately asked Teng Dan to invite Teng Dan. Not long after, Teng Dan pushed in and was covered in cold air. Tian Kai glanced at the white frost on Teng Dan's beard and sighed secretly. Needless to say, Teng Dan was patrolling the camp himself and never took off his armor overnight.

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

Teng Dan took it in his hand, browsed quickly, and his thick eyebrows frowned quietly. He thought for a moment, and then slowly calmed down. "You don't have to worry too much. General Chen should have set up a suspicion array to confuse Yan Liang. At most, he will definitely launch an attack on the scene. Our army should be ready to break through."

"How to break through?"

"Divid the troops, one goes south, to Yingling, Anqiu, and the other goes north, to Duchang Xiami." Teng Dangong bowed. "Dan dared to ask the envoy to stay in the camp to resist Yuan Xi."
