Liu Yi reluctantly rushed out of the city amid the chaos, but what greeted him was a shower of arrows. Before the horses' hoofs could hit the ground, both men and horses were shot into hedgehogs and rolled down in the dust.
When Tian Yu saw that Liu Yi had been killed in battle and a fire broke out at the gate of the south city, all the Liaodong cavalry were trapped in the city. He ordered people to cut off the heads, put them on guns and led his troops to kill eastward.
At this time, the Liaodong Army was still attacking the city with all its strength. Many people had climbed to the top of the city. Their morale was boosted. Suddenly they heard shouts of killing coming from behind. The rear army was in chaos. Someone shouted: "Liu Yi is dead!"
The soldiers looked back and saw Cao Jun turning back to fight. Tian Yu was holding a bloody human head, and it turned out to be Liu Yi. They were all shocked and turned around and left.
Many soldiers who were climbing the city were in a dilemma in mid-air. When they were hesitating, Tian Pengzu also led his troops and rushed to kill the enemy troops who climbed the city. Arrows were shot from the city, and the Liaodong army fell to the ground screaming.
Tian Pengzu divided his troops to guard the city gate, led his troops to fight out from the north gate, joined Tian Yu's troops and horses, and scattered the enemy troops outside the city. The Liaodong Army was defeated and fled.
Tian Pengzu was about to send people to pack up the weapons and equipment and return to the city, but Tian Yu organized his troops to pursue and kill the remaining troops, saying: "Liu Yi is dead, and the Liaodong Army has nothing to worry about. It is a blessing to hold Beihai. My father cannot pursue him anymore."
Tian Yuyan said: "How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den? The enemy army is leaderless and the defeated army will flee back. There will be chaos. Now is the time to destroy them in one go. Otherwise, the Wu army will arrive, and the Liaodong army will retaliate. In one day, they will The enemy is a source of trouble for generations to come!"
Tian Pengzu said worriedly: "What should we do if Wu soldiers arrive?"
Tian Yu sneered and said: "Liu Yi has been besieging Beihai for half a month, and the situation is advantageous. Now Zhou Yu is besieging Anqiu to capture Cheng Xi. How could he have expected that he would defeat the Liaodong Army with some ingenious plan? Anqiu is still a hundred miles away. , by the time the Wu army arrives, I have already defeated the Liaodong Army for a long time!"
"Father!" Tian Pengzu suddenly realized, and immediately led his elite troops and Tian Yu to pursue the defeated army, leaving only the original more than 2,000 soldiers to defend the city.
The main force of the 5,000 Cao army led by Tian Yu was selected from Qingzhou soldiers, and another 1,000 cavalry were from the Hu people who surrendered when Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan. Although they were not as elite as the tiger and leopard cavalry, their equipment strength was comparable to that of Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao. Quite right, he is guarding Qingzhou Haiyu to prevent another rebellion.
Although the Liaodong Army was large, general Liu Yi was beheaded, and the front army was in chaos. They were killed by Tian Yu's troops, and they fled or dispersed. When they fled back to their own camp, the whole army was in an uproar and the morale of the army was in chaos.
At this time, Gongsun Yang was receiving a letter from Gongsun Kang and was discussing with him whether to unite Cao's army to counterattack Soochow. He was pondering over the undecided plan when suddenly the defeated army fled back and reported the news. He was extremely shocked.
Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Cao Jun had already reached the front of the camp. Gongsun Yang immediately gave the order: "Withdraw!"
Liu Yi ignored the advice and led the elite troops to attack the city. The front army was still defeated. How could he expect these logistics troops to stay in the camp?
Tian Yu took the lead and rushed straight into the camp. All the elites of the Liaodong Army followed Liu Yi on the expedition. The general was killed in the battle. There was no one in the camp to lead the troops. The whole army was in chaos and everyone fled for their lives.
Cao's army entered the stronghold and clashed with no one to stop them. On the contrary, the Liaodong army scrambled for supplies and fled. The men and horses trampled on each other, causing countless deaths.
In the evening, Cao's army had captured the Liaodong Army's Dazhai and obtained countless weapons, money and food. Tian Yu ordered Tian Pengzu to lead troops to escort him, and he led his troops back to the city to set up defenses.
When he returned to the city, he saw that the four gates were closed and the soldiers on the city were very orderly. Although there was still smoke from the beacon, there was no chaos at all. Tian Yu couldn't help but wonder, could there be another talented person in the army who could lead the troops so well?
He urged his horse to the bottom of the city and ordered someone to come forward and call the door. He saw a drum sound on the city, but suddenly the Dongwu flag was played. Tian Yu was shocked and turned his horse back a few steps.
Under the banner, I saw a general coming out with a sword, laughing and saying: "Tian Yu, can you see Jiangdong Zhou Lang?"
"Zhou Yu?" Tian Yu looked at the arrogant generals on the city in astonishment, then became furious, pointed at the city and shouted: "Young Zhou Yu, how dare you steal my city?"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Is it possible that in the whole world, it is the king's land that Cao's thief usurped? This city was originally stolen by Cao's thief. Someone is doing justice for heaven. How dare you bite back?"
Tian Yu didn't expect that Zhou Yu would take advantage of the situation, and Beihai would be lost. Fearing that Qingzhou would not be protected, Tian Yu was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed: "You guys from the east of the Yangtze River, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Zhou Yulang smiled and said: "General Tian, Cao Cao, like Dong Zhuo, has lost the heart of the world and is about to be defeated. I respect the general's ability. Why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the bright side? Let's destroy Cao's thieves with me and preserve our reputation. If you are foolish and loyal to the Cao family, you may be infamy for thousands of years." That’s it!”
Tian Yu sneered and said: "Prime Minister Cao has been ordered to fight against rebellion and support the imperial court. He is a minister of the Han Dynasty and is ordered by the emperor to protect the territory. How can he associate with you and other rebellious ministers and traitors?"
Zhou Yu sighed: "In the past, the feudal princes were fighting and the world was in chaos. Cao Mengde's uprising army was not cruel, but he was a loyal and good minister! However, now that he has arbitrarily established the country, his tampering intention is clearly exposed. The general is a hero of the world, how can he not understand the reason?"
Tian Yu laughed and said: "My son Zhou Yu, don't be ashamed to speak loudly here. No matter what you think of Prime Minister Cao, he is just a Han official and serves the imperial court under the imperial edict. But Sun Quan, his father and his son, separatized Jiangdong and showed their disobedience long ago." Heart, you invading the territory are nothing more than rebels seeking personal gain!"
Zhou Yu's face darkened, and he wanted to argue, but then he sighed: "Wu Hou commanded Jiangdong, calmed people's hearts, and had long wanted to be a saint. However, the emperor was held hostage by Cao Cao's thieves, his mission was cut off, and he could not help himself. When King Qin put down the chaos, , then the world will be enlightened."
Tian Yu sneered, and was about to provoke Zhou Yu into fighting when suddenly there was a noise from behind. He was startled when he saw many defeated troops fleeing back, and hurriedly moved his troops back.
Tian Pengzu came in a state of disarray with his armor in disarray, and reported: "Not long after my father left, we were attacked by the Wu army and they robbed us of supplies."
"It's Zhou Yu's treacherous plan again!" Tian Yu was furious, knowing that the situation was over and that it would be useless to go to the city. He led the remaining soldiers to retreat to Jinan to join Xiahou Dun.
Not long after Cao's army retreated, Ding Feng led his troops to escort supplies. As night fell, the team stretched out like a long queue, large and small vehicles entered the city, and supplies piled up like mountains.
Ding Feng returned to the city to hand over the order, and laughed and said: "The governor had a clever plan. Tian Yu really pursued the Liaodong Army and eliminated its main force. It feels so good to be an oriole!"
Zhou Yu said: "Although we have gained Beihai, when we first arrived in Qingzhou, our hearts were unstable. Xiahou Dun's army will arrive soon. We need to stabilize the territory as soon as possible, win over people's hearts, and reserve money and food before we can deal with Cao's army."
Ding Feng cupped his fists and said, "I will obey the orders of the Grand Governor General."
Zhou Yu ordered: "I have ordered Liu Canjun to go to Donglai to surrender the counties. Today, the troops in Liaodong are defeated and the morale of the army is weakened. They must want to return home. General Ding will lead the troops to collect the counties today. Those who are willing to return will be sent back to the Liaodong army." Township, those who are willing to stay will be incorporated into the army. It is important to first decide on Qingzhou."
Ding Feng took the order and left. Zhou Yu also ordered the magistrate of Pingshou County to write a letter to persuade Cheng Xi to surrender. He sent people to Anqiu and ordered Xu Sheng to retreat ten miles back, leaving Cheng Xi to decide whether to stay or go.
