Within three days, food, clothing, equipment and other things were transported from Hengshan County. Ye Yang thought that he had seized Yanmen County and had to be rebuilt. All hatred was only on Fan Zeng and had nothing to do with anything else. Moreover, Ye Yang felt very guilty about the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Yanmen County. This guilt was like a poisonous sting on the heart, torturing him all the time.

Sitting alone on the ruins of a piece of city wall, Ye Yang leaned slanted against a ruin, looking at the busy crowd in the distance with his eyes, the Qinghun Sword slanted aside,

Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao two girls were standing beside Ye Yang, and they kept telling him some interesting things to make him happy, but Ye Yang was not happy at all. The guilt towards the victims of Yanmen County made him feel gloomy.

...

"Dadada..."

The sound of horse hooves from far to near, Wang Lie jumped off his horse, stepped onto the city wall in three or two steps, and said with his fists: "Sir, I received a large amount of supplies from the special envoy of Yan State from Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County and other cities. At the same time, the special envoy brought the handwriting of the King of Yan, and specially granted the Lord the position of general of Yan State. I hope that the Lord will command Qidi and form an alliance with Yan State and will never betray it."

Ye Yang finally smiled, turned around, and said to Yan Yao: "Yan Yao, look, your father knows that I now have 150,000 elite soldiers, and he actually takes the initiative to show his goodwill..."

Yan Yao pursed her lips and said, "Brother, after I came to Hengshan County, I am no longer the princess of Yan State. My repayment to Yan State has been completed. Whatever my father does has nothing to do with me. I am just the princess of Hengshan County..."

"Well, it's good to have this kind of awareness." Ye Yang nodded, his eyes cold, and he said, "How can others snore beside the bed? I think one day, your father will attack me, or I will attack him and put the entire Yan Kingdom into his palm. These are inevitable results."

Yan Yao nodded: "Brother, I just hope you can let your father go and not kill him."

"Well, this is natural."

...

A large number of convoys arrived, and the King of Yan mobilized thousands of craftsmen from three counties to help the people of Yanmen County rebuild their homes. Nearly 100,000 people who escaped from the fire went up the mountain to cut down trees, consciously transported them into the city, and began to build burnt houses, etc.

Wang Lie looked at the coming and going of the cars under the city and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the three armies have been repaired and are ready to attack Liangcheng at any time. According to the scout information, Xiang Yu is urgently besieging Zhang Han's army and cannot divide his troops to deal with us for the time being. Fan Zeng only has five thousand overlord cavalry in his hand, and has obtained 10,000 new five Qin soldiers and 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in the Qingyun Mountains. Fan Zeng can use only 30,000 people and horses, and he cannot compete with our 80,000 elite soldiers at all."

Ye Yang nodded: "I ordered the army to rest early tonight, and to attack Liangcheng tomorrow morning, crush Fan Zeng's 30,000 troops into pieces in one fell swoop. I want to hang Fan Zeng's head on Yanmen County to sacrifice the wronged souls of more than 200,000 victims."

"yes."

...

In the evening, the lights in Yanmen County were dim. Under the care of the soldiers, nearly 100,000 people camped inside and outside the city to rest. Or, some buildings have not been affected by the fire and have become temporary residences for the people. As for the 80,000 elite soldiers from Hengshan County, they all stationed outside the city and set up simple camps, and could not be mixed with the people. This is also Ye Yang's intention. Otherwise, once they are attacked, they will be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses.

"Not good, no good..."

A shrill scream came with the night wind. A scarred Qi soldier walked over quickly with the iron sword that had been cut halfway, shouting: "General, something is wrong."

Ye Yang, Wang Lie, Zhang Tianhe, Yun Xiaoxi, Ye Yang and others walked out of the Central Army's tent at the same time.

Wang Lie stepped forward: "What happened?"

The soldier coughed heavily and suddenly fell to the ground: "Lord, general, damn it. On the way we escorted a group of weapons, we were attacked by the King of Chu cavalry. The leader was Ji Bu, the general under Xiang Yu. Five thousand King of Kings were dispatched together. Our guard was killed and injured. The villain fought to the death and killed and broke through the siege. Most of the food and grass were no longer safe..."

"What,." Wang Lie was furious: "Where is it?"

"A mountain road twenty miles away."

"Get on the horse and go with me."

"yes."

Wang Lie quickly ordered his troops and took Zhang Tianhe. Zhao Yun and two generals led 10,000 Zhuque Iron Cavalry to leave, while Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi and others stayed to guard the central army to prevent Zeng's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, with Zhang Tianhe and Zhao Yun accompanying him, commanding 10,000 Zhuque Cavalry, which was enough to defeat the five thousand overlord cavalry commanded by Ji Bu.

...

Two hours later, Ye Yang was in charge of the central army and waited for Wang Lie's news. Wang Lie hurriedly came, with anger on his face, and suddenly poked the sword on the ground, sat down, and said angrily: "Damn it, Ji Bu's thief was so bold that he killed no soldiers who guarded us. All the excellent weapons and a batch of food and grass have been robbed. Humph, the old thief Fan Zeng was actually cutting off our food route. It's really hateful."

Zhang Tianhe's eyes turned cold and he said, "Troubleshoot the guys immediately and fight with them."

Zhao Yun coughed and said, "Don't be impulsive. Fan Zengzhi is close to the demon. The Overlord Cavalry is like the wind. We can't catch it at all. Once the army goes to attack Liangcheng, I am worried that Fan Zeng will transfer the infantry force to drag our front line, and then use the Overlord Cavalry to detour Yanmen County. In this way, we will be dragged down here. After all, once the grain road is broken, our food and grass will not last for a few days. Once the food and grass are broken, the morale of the army will be in chaos."

Ye Yang nodded: "Zhao Yun is right. I can mess up my mind. Fan Zeng robbed our food and grass just to anger us. Once we are reckless, we will hit him."

Wang Lie clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice: "Sir, then are we just waiting for death? It's not about going forward or retreating. How cowardly."

Ye Yang pondered, with a clear light in his eyes, and suddenly a corner of his mouth raised, and he smiled: "Five Thousand Overlords Cavalry are Fan Zeng's support, and Ji Bu is his right-hand man. Since that's the case, let's design and annihilate the forces of these Overlords Cavalry, and even kill Ji Bu. Let's see what Fan Zeng can do."

Zhao Yun was overjoyed: "Young master, you already have an idea."

Ye Yang nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately report to the county magistrate of Hengshan County to prepare two batches of grain and grass. One of them will travel from the official road to Yanmen County. The other must be loaded with heavy iron boxes, rotten grass and cotton wool as grain bags, and move forward in a roundabout way, and bypass Guangling City from the edge of the Qingyun Mountains to Yanmen County. Each of the two grain transport teams was escorted with 2,000 old, weak and remnants, mobilized 30,000 Iron Cavalry of Vermilion Bird, ambushed around the official road, and prepared to annihilate the five thousand overlords."

"Yes." Wang Lie responded in a deep voice.

Zhao Yunze said in confusion: "Young master, a batch of food and grass detours from the Qingyun Mountains and passed Guangling City. Then... that went around so far, Fan Zeng must know that the batch of food and grass is extremely important and will not be let go easily. In addition, there is a batch of food and grass traveling from the official road. The Overlord Cavalry has robbed our food and grass. Fan Zeng also knew that we were prepared, but we wanted to send heavy troops to set up an ambush. This... will Fan Zeng be deceived?"

Ye Yang couldn't help laughing: "You don't know that soldiers are the tricks. If they are weak, they are the real ones. If they are the real ones, they are the real ones. Fan Zeng has a lot of wisdom and will inevitably be suspicious. I think we will use the food and grass on the official road to attract their troops, and they will definitely go the opposite way. The food and grass on the official road are the real food and grass. Fan Zeng will definitely not let it go. Once Ji Bu leads the Overlord Cavalry to approach, we will naturally have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhang Tianhe scratched his head: "What do you say? Why can't I understand? According to Ziyu's words, you are not sure. It's a completely bet."

Ye Yang nodded: "That's right, I'm just betting that Fan Zeng will rob our official road food and grass and pass the orders. Tomorrow evening, the convoy will arrive in the direction of Qingshui Town. We will set up an ambush in the valley on the side of Qingshui Town. If the Overlord Cavalry attacks, we will definitely pass through Qingshui Town."

"good."

...

After a quiet night, the next day, the flying cavalry in Hengshan County came to report, and the food and grass were on the road as promised.

Ye Yang slept all day long. He was practicing the fire law, and more importantly, he was cultivating his mind. This was a contest with a very wise strategist like Fan Zeng. Ye Yang asked himself that he was not a military genius and had no certainty to win. This battle was completely a bet.

In the evening, 30,000 Erectile Dynasties cavalry set out, led by Ye Yang, Zhang Tianhe, Wang Lie, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei personally. As for Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao, they were left behind, and they were guarding the central army with Liu Meng. At least they had to defend Yanmen County. This Yanmen County was a foundation. If you want to attack Haoyuetai, Yanmen County must not be lost, otherwise you will fall into an embarrassing situation of retreating.

...

As night fell, birds flew over the jungle, 30,000 Suzaku Birds stood quietly in the canyon, while Zhang Tianhe stood tall in the air, looking at the situation in the distance,

"Our convoy is here..." Wang Lie reached out and pointed to the distance, held his breath, and said in a deep voice: "If Commander Ji Bu's Overlord Cavalry arrives, it must be this time. They must pass through the canyon to attack the convoy. How do we do it?"

Ye Yang said lightly: "Let them enter the canyon, then surround them, first shoot with crossbows, use all the arrows, and then draw your sword to attack."

"yes."

After waiting for a while, Zhao Yun said with confusion on his face, "They won't come, right? The old thief Fan Zeng is not so easy to be fooled..."

Ye Yang was also a little nervous, but he didn't show it. He grabbed a piece of gravel in his hand and said, "Wait a little longer, don't be impatient."

...

At this moment, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the jungle in the distance, and the mountain birds were frightened. Soon after, a general holding a long sword in his hand commanded a large number of dark blue war horses appeared on the plains, and it was Ji Bu commanding the Overlord Cavalry.

Zhao Yun was shocked: "Here you come..."

Ye Yang raised his arm and said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly, let them enter the valley."

...

On the other side, Ji Buyan watched the convoy moving slowly in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, waved the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers, what Lord Fan Zeng said is true. This is indeed a real food and grass. Put it on me, cut off the food route of Ye Yang, and starve his 100,000 troops to death in Yanmen County. Let's see how he competes with our Chu army."

A group of overlords laughed, waving their sharp blades and rushed into the canyon quickly.
