At the top of Junyi's city, Lu Yi quietly looked at the figures in the distance, and his lips curled, and his smile disappeared before it even spread. He turned around and walked forward along the city wall. The soldiers along the way did not look squinting, standing straight, without any expression, as if they had not seen Lu Yi.

Puyang Yi accelerated his pace and followed, carefully looked at Lu Yi from the side, and his heart was full of curiosity. Puyang Yi knew Lu Yi, who was recommended by senior officials and worked in the Military Strategy Office for several years. Later, Lu Fan moved Zhen Junyi and was sent to Lu Fan to serve. When he was in the Military Strategy Office, he knew that Lu Yi was a talented person worthy of Sun Ce and was deeply trusted by the third general Sun Shangxiang. Last year, Lu Yi visited his relatives, and when he returned to Jianye with Sun Ce's ship, Lu Yi gave Sun Shangxiang a cat. It is said that Sun Shangxiang was extremely precious and would not give anyone.

In fact, although the cat from the Western Regions is cute, it is not rare. I think the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Many people are guessing that in a few years, when the third general becomes an adult, the King of Wu may be given a marriage. Because of this, although Lu Zheng is eighteen, the Lu family has not arranged a marriage for him. Logically speaking, a family background and identity like him will get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, at least he will make a marriage. How could it be so deserted and there is not even a matchmaker?

The young man had a bright future, and having a good relationship with him would be beneficial to the Puyang family. On the first day Lu Yi came to Jun Yi, Puyang Yi made a decision. During this period, Lu Fan moved to Huzhu and handed Jun Yi over to Lu Yi. Puyang Yi, who was Lu Fan's army, had no opinions at all and was dedicated to assisting him.

"General, these Jizhou cavalry are the third group today."

The Lu Gong slowed down. "What are the suggestions for joining the army?"

"How dare you?" Puyang Yi smiled and said, "The general is resourceful and has been loved by the king for many years. I must have made a plan long ago, so why do I need to say more?"

"Otherwise, you are joining the army, making suggestions is your responsibility. Besides, this is in Chenliu, your hometown, and you are more familiar with the situation. Even if the King of Wu is here, I will definitely listen to your suggestions, let alone me. It's okay to join the army but talk."

Puyang Yi nodded with embarrassment. The boy was cold-hearted and refused to accept his kindness, but he was right and made it difficult for him to refute. He thought about it and showed his caution, and then he slowly spoke up and expressed his worries that had long been hidden in his heart.

"Dong Zhao led 30,000 Jizhou troops into Yanzhou. Dong Je surrendered again in front of the battle and led Dong Zhao into the country. The whole journey was unstoppable. The families north of Sui River all depended on them and gathered more than 20,000 people, but General Man had only more than 10,000 people. The troops were disparate, so he was probably not an opponent. Dong Je sent cavalry to Jun Yi, which naturally prevented the general from leaving the city to reinforce. But if the general stayed behind, General Man would be unfavorable in the future. If the news reached the king, there would be a problem."

Lu Yi stopped, pondered for a moment, turned around and looked at Puyang Yi, signaling Puyang Yi to continue. Puyang Yi stared at Lu Yi for a long time, but still couldn't see anything from Lu Yi's face, so he had to thorn his head and continue talking.

"There are only three thousand infantrymen in the city. Although they are elite, they are not enough to deal with the two thousand cavalry led by Dong Je. They were blocked from leaving the city and forced to retreat. I believe General Man could understand it."

Lu Yi laughed silently and turned around and continued to move forward. Pu Yang Yi didn't know whether he was right or wrong, so he could only keep up. He was nervous, and even his breath was a little unstable. Hearing his breathing disorder, Lu Yi slowed down.

"As soon as a military officer, do you often practice martial arts?"

"Uh... I'm just doing martial arts and not having much time, so I dare not compare myself with the general."

"Now the Military Administrative Office has regulations that all you need to join the army should practice martial arts, not only should you practice yourself, but you should also practice correctly."

"Oh, is that?" Pu Yangyi's forehead oozed sweat and smiled embarrassedly: "Then I will practice more in the future."

"Do you know why joining the army?"

"Please give me advice, General."

"I dare not take it." Lu Yi said lightly: "You don't have to go to the army to kill the enemy, but practicing martial arts can help you defend yourself, and practicing exercises can train your courage. These are the basic qualities required for joining the army. The general is the courage of the three armies, and joining the army is the general's think tank. If the think tank panics and chaos, the war will not be fought."

Puyang Yi's face was red, nodding, nor shook his head. No matter how slow he reacted, he could hear that Lu Yi was dissatisfied with his performance. With Lu Yi's relationship with the King of Wu, perhaps with just one sentence, he would either return to the military plan office or transfer him to his post. In short, it would be impossible for him to stay in Junyi. This was a bit embarrassing. He joined the military plan office, and later he was stationed in Junyi as an officer. That was the honor of the family.

"I joined the army and followed Du Lu to guard Jun Yi, and I am familiar with the army. I should not be the one who panicked when encountering the enemy. Do you think Dong Zhao can defeat General Man?"

Puyang Yi did not dare to be careless, just like facing a big test before the exile, he thought carefully. He repeatedly weighed the pros and consequently analyzed the generals, troops, training and armies of both sides, and finally came to a conclusion. Although Man Chong had insufficient troops and was mainly county soldiers, he had advantages in military equipment. The middle and lower-level generals in the army had experience and strict training. Even if they could not defeat Dong Zhao, they should not be defeated. In the event of the wrong situation, Man Chong would also increase his troops and fight again. Yuzhou gathered 200,000 people, and it was easy to select another 10,000 or 20,000 people. Dong Zhao tried his best to deal with Man Chong, and it was difficult for the remaining people to conquer Chenliu. In fact, Man Chong's goal of sending troops had been achieved.

After listening quietly, Lu Yi continued, "Then does he need our reinforcements?"

Puyang Yi smiled ashamed. "Although General Man only has 10,000 soldiers, he still has 200,000 Yuzhou soldiers behind him. He can send more reinforcements at any time and we do not need to reinforce them. If we leave the city, we will be suspected of robbing the merits."

"So, you don't have to worry about General Man telling us to die in front of the king, because he will not die at all, but may become stronger and stronger as the battle is fought. Yuzhou County has sufficient training, and what he lacks is actual combat. Being able to fight Dong Zhao for several days will be of great benefit to them. Even if the damage is greater, it is within an acceptable range." Lu Yi paused and said, "General Man is a very cautious person. He will never do risky things. He will not pin his hope of victory on our reinforcements."

"Yes, yes." Puyang Yi nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yi turned his head and looked at the figure of the knights outside the city again, and said, "Besides, if we leave the city, these knights will not be able to stop them."

"Yes, yes." Pu Yang Yi habitually echoed twice, suddenly felt something was wrong, and suddenly raised his head. "General is planning to leave the city?"

"Yes." Lu Gong smiled rare. "I want to break the siege of Chenliu."

Puyang Yi's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly took a step forward, stopped Lu Gong, and bowed: "General, as a member of the army, I oppose the general's decision. It is too dangerous to leave the city. If the loss is too great and Junyi City is insufficient, there is a possibility of losing."

"Don't you listen to my reasons?"

"Uh, general, please say."

"From Junyi to Chenliu for more than 40 miles, the waterways are crisscrossed, and the large ones include Langdang Canal, Lugou, Sui River, Huan River, and small rivers. Cavalry has no advantage in fighting in such a terrain." Lu Yi patted the city wall and was confident. "Dong Zhao has been in Yecheng for too long and forgot the difference between Henan and Hebei. However, he is a smart man and can react soon. If he doesn't take advantage of his chance to be entangled by General Man, we may lose the opportunity, and it will be difficult to break the siege of Chenliu."

"But there are still 20,000 people under Chenliu City. Even if we get rid of the cavalry, we can't defeat those 20,000 people."

"Join the army, you are from Chenliu. What do you think of Zhang Fujun's official reputation?"

"Uh..." Puyang Yi pondered without saying a word. He didn't like Zhang Miao. As one of the eight chefs, Zhang Miao's reputation was naturally good, and it was reasonable for the people. In recent years, Chenliu was relatively stable, which also entrusted Zhang Miao's blessing. However, Zhang Miao was known as an elder and came from a noble family. He was always tolerant of the aristocratic family and powerful. Most of the profits earned by trading with Yuzhou were taken away by the aristocratic family and powerful people. The income of ordinary people was limited, which was not as good as the benefits brought by the workshop. However, the people relocated to the land and lived a peaceful life. Since life was still acceptable, there were not many people willing to leave their hometowns, so there were not many people who moved to Yuzhou.

But Zhang Miao is not suitable for survival in troubled times. He is a powerful family, and has no leniency, and has no authority. Therefore, when Dong Zhao came, in front of the sword, the powerful families in the counties north of Chenliu, the powerful families immediately turned against each other and did not work hard for Zhang Miao. He even gathered troops to rely on Dong Zhao and surrounded Chenliu. Now most of the people outside Chenliu City are local families of Chenliu. It is very likely that they were Zhang Miao's guests not long ago, and they were gathering together. Although there was a reason for Dong Zhao's great power, Zhang Miao had no majesty, and no one was afraid of him was one of the important reasons.

Although the Chenliu Puyang family had a decline in family history, they were considered a noble family after all. Puyang Yi often walked around in the circle and grasped the mentality of these noble families very clearly, but it was not convenient to discuss with Lu.

Seeing that Puyang Yi was not speaking, Lu Yi asked again: "Will the people outside Chenliu City react to knowing that Dong Zhao was unable to win the battle with General Dong Zhao, and would he take the lives of the Zhang Fujun brothers at any cost?"

Puyang Yi thought for a while and immediately understood what Lu Yi meant. He raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled, "Of course not."

"Since that's the case, what are we going to worry about?"

Puyang Yi smiled and nodded repeatedly, secretly admiring Lu Yi's thoughtful thoughts. The Chenliu family, the powerful and powerful, were originally fence-bearing soldiers. They had no enemies with Zhang Miao brothers, but were forced by Dong Zhao's military force and had to do so. If they knew that Dong Zhao had not been able to defeat 10,000 Man Chong, they might retreat at any time. They were afraid that they would regret it so much that their intestines were green and they would not fight for Dong Zhao. At this time, as long as the situation was turbulent, they would probably disperse, and a small defeat was said to be a big defeat, and they would take the opportunity to let the Zhang Miao brothers have a way out.

Lu Yiyu said earnestly: "I am a member of Chenliu when I joined the army. There should be many old acquaintances under Chenliu City. You might as well write a few letters to advise them to think about their family and not go as far as the road is dark."
