However, what made the entire Ye County feel fearful from Xiahou Xuan to the pawn peddlers was still there.

For the next seven days, ships from Yan State docked every day, and 3,000 people drove into the Yan army camp every time, and nine more troops were added within ten days.

Xiahou Xuan's lips trembled and he didn't know what to say.

Cheng Xi and others also looked pale, and they were so scared that they had not had a good sleep for several nights. They had dark circles on their faces and smiled bitterly: "General, I think this is the reason that the Yan thief has increased more than 20,000 troops, and at this time there are probably 30,000 to 40,000 troops."

Xiahou Xuan frowned and said, "This is unlikely. It is logical that Yan State only has tens of thousands of troops. Our Great Wei advances together with water and land to attack Liao. The general is leading 70,000 troops to Youzhou to attack Liaodong and is about to arrive soon. The Yan bandits did not place their main forces on the Liao River, but continued to increase their troops to Qingzhou. This is probably unreasonable, right?"

Cheng Xi's calves were trembling and said tremblingly: "This - the Xiaguan guess is unreasonable, and it is exactly consistent with common sense. Yan Thief has always been cunning and uses all kinds of ideas. The more he is rebellious, the more normal it is."

After saying this, many people present agreed.

Only when the Yan Thief is abnormal can it perform normally.

Xiahou Xuan had the idea of ​​losing his mind, and felt that this was right, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If this is true, then we should take it as a mistake. The enemy's troops are increasing day by day, and the enemy troops are surging like a tide eighty miles away. Now even the people in the city are inexplicably shocked."

Cheng Xi said: "This is not a big deal for the people. There are news of the increase in troops every day. The Yan army is getting more and more every day. I only hope that the prefect Tian - he, he can return to rescue him, otherwise he will be surrounded and the situation will not be very good."

Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but sank. At this time, the transfer of troops stationed in other counties was a drop in the bucket. He seemed incompetent to ask the court for help and sent troops. Another important reason was that the distance could not relieve the near thirst.

The only thing that can be used at present is the 30,000 elite soldiers under Tian Yu. Only by abandoning the island chain and returning to Ye County quickly can the current problems be solved.

Xiahou Xuan also understood that this was something that he had to do, and frowned and said, "No, Tian Yu attacked the South Island, and it is rare to have such a good opportunity to recover. If he retreated, all his efforts would be wasted. Withdrawal would be pursued by the enemy from behind. Wouldn't it be dangerous? In this situation, it would be better to summon Xu Pei to bring the 3,000 people from Huang County back to Ye County and order him to return to the rescue quickly."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but pause, "This is also the one who abandoned the car and protected the coach. Huang County can be lost, and Ye County cannot be lost."

"But this-"

Cheng Xi wanted to argue again, so he had to restrain his momentum and smiled bitterly: "Sir, obey the order."

Along the coast, the Yan army camp.

Liu Zhi was not having a good time at this time.

The so-called four words of marching and fighting, and the two words "marching" are still before the two words "war", which shows its hardship.

There were only 7,000 people under his command, and they were divided into two groups of people to rest every day. They secretly left the camp while the night was night, and then returned to the camp in a high-profile manner the next day. The journey they took was forty or fifty miles every day. Fortunately, they were light and simple. If they were carrying baggage, they would have collapsed on the side of the road.

Even so, the two groups of people were exhausted and exhausted to perform this big drama.

Liu Zhi even felt that if the Wei army suddenly robbed the village, the Yan army, who was so tired that it would probably not be able to stop three thousand people.

In order to implement a plan to doubt the enemy and show the strength of the enemy, he did not care about the exhaustion of the soldiers. In the minds of Xiahou Xuan and others, the Yan army camp had 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses at this moment, how could he think that there were actually only 7,000 people?

In the central army's tent, Yan Xu whispered: "I think it's enough to scare Xiahou Xuan to be frightened."

Liu Zhi nodded: "There is no need to order the soldiers to travel between the camp and the coast. Take a day off and head towards Ye County. This time, Xiahou's Xuanshi will definitely be so scared that he will urinate in the same way."

Yan Xu laughed and said, "Maybe he thinks that the forces between the two sides are very different at this time and is already under the rolling and preparing to escape."

"If he runs, we will dare to chase him."

Liu Zhi smiled faintly and continued, "We need to use a trick to deceive us if we send troops to siege."

The map on the table is marked with the word Ye County. Liu Zhi lightly tapped his fingers in front, left and right directions and said, "I have sent scouts to investigate the terrain. These three dense forests are surrounded by them. You can station thousands of soldiers in these three places, act like a thousand troops, and then attack in the dark, and hold troops in the sun."

Yan Xu was stunned: "Attack while the night is gone?"

"Yes, there are dense forests covering the sun, and Xiahou Xuan and others do not know the reality of the body. The dark night is so dark that it is difficult to see things, so they do not know the reality of the body."

Liu Zhi smiled slightly, took Yan Xu out of the camp and reached the rear. He saw thousands of people from Wei who were coerced and desperately slashing grass makers. More than 20 Yan soldiers personally demonstrated in front of him. The speed of crafting straw men was extremely fast. It took only one day to make hundreds of them. Each scarecrow was as big as an ordinary person.

He smiled and said, "These scarecrows are placed in the wilderness at night, just like our army. This is what the king often says, "The grass and trees are all soldiers."

Yan Xu was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said, "General, this is really a good plan."

After another rest and the completion of necessary weapons, Liu Zhi made up his mind to encircle Ye County, and immediately transferred 5,000 troops from the camp and quickly sent troops.

This marching speed took two days.

Liu Zhi saw Ye County from a distance, and immediately sent Yan Xu to lead a thousand troops to garrison on the left, Liu Qu led a thousand people to garrison on the right, and he took three thousand people to garrison on the main gate.

The news of the Yan army swept across Ye County. Xiahou Xuan climbed to the city in horror, and saw that the dust was like a yellow dragon from afar. He saw that there were fires everywhere in the east, south and west.

"This - it seems that there are really 30,000 to 40,000 troops."

Cheng Xi's mouth twitched, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He smiled bitterly: "Even if Cheng Pei led 3,000 people to rescue him, it would be like holding firewood to put out the fire, which would increase the enemy's arrogance."

Xiahou Xuan finally felt afraid. He hesitated and looked at everyone around him with expressions of asking Tian Yu to return to Ye County. He patted the female wall heavily and nodded, "I am in a hurry to follow the power, so I can't delay it anymore. I quickly ordered someone to call Tian Yu back to rescue Ye County."

This result is the best. I still don’t want to give up the entire Donglai County. At worst, I can resist the Yan thieves and advance to seize the island chain again.

And most importantly, Xiahou Xuan did not want to sacrifice his life for the country.

What is the overall situation? It is important to save your life.

Cheng Xi and others all showed joy. As long as Tian Yu's army returned to the rescue, there would be no problem.

When the scout heard this, he immediately took the order and ran downstairs quickly and rode out of the city on a fast horse.
