Chapter 562

In a secret private courtyard in the city.

"Young Master, I have lived up to your expectations and completed your trust."

The old housekeeper bowed and saluted, extremely respectful.

"Very good." Yuan Tan stood with his hands behind his back and nodded in agreement, "Is this a secret?"

"Has anyone else known about it?"

Yuan Tan narrowed his eyes and asked carefully.

"No!" The old housekeeper shook his head firmly.

"Young Master, don't worry, everything is done in secret, and no one else knows."

"You see..."

The old housekeeper rubbed his hands.

Yuan Tan had promised a lot of things before.

Especially the matter of letting his son enter the government as an official.

It was the most exciting thing for him.

"Well done." Yuan Tan patted his shoulder.

"Go to my mansion, and naturally someone will tell you how to act."

The old housekeeper knelt on the ground on the spot and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, my lord!"

Standing up and walking back excitedly, the old housekeeper hurried away.

"Come here." Yuan Tan called his confidant, his eyes full of coldness.

"The old housekeeper colluded with the enemy outside the city and tried to cause chaos in the city."

"The whole family will be executed immediately."

"Remember, gag him when you catch him, so as not to be deceived by him."

"Do it immediately."

After Yuan Tan gave the instructions, he turned around and left the courtyard.

...

Outside Yecheng, in the Tang Navy camp.

Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci, as the commanders of the other two armies, came to the Marine Corps camp to gather.

Zhou Yu received the two.

"The Lord has arranged for us to surround three of the city and leave one without attacking."

"Besiege but not attack."

"But we also need to create some pressure on the defenders."

"We came from Tanghai City this time and brought some new weapons."

"Tomorrow, everyone will work together to give the defenders in Ye City a head start."

Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci nodded in response, "Everything will be done according to the Lord's instructions, and we will definitely cooperate."

The three armies worked together without any disputes.

This made Zhou Yu feel much more at ease.

It's still comfortable in Tanghai.

No need to engage in those intrigues.

Just do things according to the law and be fair.

No need to say more nonsense.

After talking about official business, Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci asked Zhou Yu about the recent situation in Tanghai City.

They haven't been back for a while and miss the life in Tanghai very much.

"Alas!"

Taishi Ci sighed.

"I've lived in Tanghai for so long that I don't feel comfortable no matter where I go."

"I really want to live in Tanghai City forever and don't want to go anywhere else."

"If I'm not going to war, I don't even want to step out of Tanghai City."

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "That's true."

"Now Tanghai City is speeding up the construction of various ships."

"I believe that in the near future, we will be able to go to more distant places."

"It is said that there are new breakthroughs in the technology of ocean-going large ships."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Taishi Ci's eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"

"That's great!"

He was eager to return to Tanghai City and see the newly built ships.

...

Youzhou.

Jicheng is just around the corner.

Yuan Shao led his army with great momentum.

"Rest for half a day."

Yuan Shao, riding on a tall horse, issued an order during the march.

"Give the soldiers a good meal."

"Tomorrow we will be at the gates of the city and duel with Tang Hai."

"One battle will decide the outcome!"

The heroic words made the Jizhou generals excited.

Defeat Tang Hai and achieve great things.

They all have a share.

At that time, the great merit will surely benefit future generations.

Generations of wealth and honor will be endless.

After setting up camp and having a good meal, the morale of the Jizhou soldiers rose again.

Several elite cavalry rushed into the tent.

"My Lord Governor, something is wrong!"

Tian Feng, who rushed into the central army tent in a hurry, panted and reported.

After getting off the horse, he didn't even have time to rest.

Before he even drank a sip of water, he ignored the fatigue of the long journey and put official business first.

"What happened?" Yuan Shao frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

He was leading a large army to attack Tang Hai outside, but someone came to disturb him from behind.

This made him want to scold Tian Feng out.

However, Yuan Shao suppressed his emotions and wanted to hear what the other party said first.

Then make a decision.

"Mr. Governor! Tang Hai's army took a detour to attack Yecheng and is already at the gates of the city!" Tian Feng's words just sounded from the big tent.

It caused a heated discussion among the generals.

"How is it possible?" Jiang Yiqu was the first to question.

"Our army is heading north, how could Tang Hai take a detour to Yecheng, where did they take the detour?"

Other generals were also full of questions.

Yuan Shao frowned, "Tell me quickly."

Tian Feng said immediately"They came from the northwest, with 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry."

"They came from the southeast, almost all infantry, about 40,000 to 50,000, and they were carrying siege weapons."

"The other group came from the northeast, called the Marine Corps."

"This group of soldiers is the most powerful. Although they have the smallest number of people, they are also the most elite."

"The weapons and armor they carry are better than those of the generals in Jizhou."

As Tian Feng spoke, the whole tent was silent.

The generals looked at each other.

"Nearly 100,000 troops?" Yuan Shao frowned even more deeply.

"What is that man thinking?"

"Don't want Tanghai City?"

"Who can attack faster?"

"Who can take the opponent's main city in a shorter time?"

"What kind of tactics is this?"

Yuan Shao spoke out all the questions in his heart.

The generals in the tent were also caught in various questions.

"Please make a decision early, lord!" Tian Feng bowed his hands and said respectfully.

Yuan Shao fell into deep thought.

If he returned now, wouldn't it be a huge waste?

So much money and food were distributed just for this general attack.

It's easy to withdraw troops, but it will be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Tang Hai sent out so many troops, and the main city must be empty.

Exchange cities for cities?

Yuan Shao had an extremely bold idea in his mind.

But then he overturned it.

After all, Youzhou is bitter and cold, and Tang Hai, which is further north, can only be more but not less.

It is not cost-effective to exchange the rich land of Jizhou for the land of Youzhou.

So that's it!

Yuan Shao suddenly understood.

This is what Tang Hai is thinking.

He wants to do his best to exchange land with him.

Let him take Youzhou and Tang Hai, and Liu Yu take Jizhou.

Exchange the bitter and cold land for his rich land.

This must be impossible?

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao made up his mind.

"My Lord!" Jiang Yiqu suggested.

"We can advance in two routes."

"One route will lead the soldiers back to Yecheng to relieve the siege."

"The other route will lead them directly to Youzhou and Tanghai City."

"The enemy will definitely not be able to think of such an arrangement."

"They will definitely be in a panic."

"What's more, Youzhou is a place where we are fighting on all sides, and the helpers we have contacted are still eyeing it covetously."

"The military forces involved are very large."

"It must not be comparable to the remote and cold place of Tanghai."

"Besieging Yecheng must be a desperate move for Tanghai."

"It is used to relieve the pressure of the army."

"After our army withdraws, we can first concentrate our forces to defeat the invading foreign races from all sides."

"Then concentrate our forces to fight a decisive battle with our army."

"My Lord, don't fall for Tanghai's evil plan!"
