When Tian Pengzu heard what his master said, he asked with surprise and joy:

"So you want to ambush the Wu people here?"

Then he immediately became confused again:

"How do you know that the Wu people will pass by here?"

"I am not an immortal, how can I dare to say that people from Wu will definitely pass by here?"

Tian Yu shook his head and smiled, "There is a saying in the art of war: the invincible lies with oneself, but the victorious lies with the enemy."

"Chengshan was called the end of the sky by the First Emperor, and it is the closest to Liaodong. When the Wu people returned from Liaodong, if they wanted to avoid the wind and waves as soon as possible, the nearest place was here."

"So based on human nature, they most likely chose this place."

"What I have to do is to be prepared here so as not to miss the enemy. This can be said to be invincible."

"As for the enemy, we now have to see if the Wu people will really come over and give us this opportunity."

After Tian Pengzu heard this, he was sincerely convinced.

Tian Yu observed the tower in Chengshan for a long time, until he had the terrain near Chengshan firmly in his mind, and then he came down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, when the father and son came down from the mountain, they saw Cheng Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, waiting at the foot of the mountain with his generals.

"Prefect Tian, ​​Your Majesty's order to stop the expedition to Liao has been issued. Why do you still let the army be stationed here? Don't you know that this is a waste of money and food?"

At first glance, Cheng Xi looks gentle and elegant, which is exactly in line with the image of a scholar-bureaucrat in this era.

The only thing that made people feel a little uncomfortable was those eyes.

To be precise, there is a bit of gloominess in his eyes, which makes people not very fond of him.

But when he finished saying this and turned to look at the generals around him and behind him, his eyes softened again.

Then all the generals in the Qingzhou Army laughed.

In fact, not only Cheng Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, but also many people in the army had a much higher status than Tian Yu.

More importantly, the old man in front of me is still an outsider.

But now, everyone has to obey his orders, so no one feels happy.

Faced with Cheng Xi's provocation and the laughter of the generals, Tian Pengzu was furious. He took a step forward, held the scabbard on his waist with his left hand, and was about to pull out the sword with his right hand.

Tian Yu, on the other hand, is much calmer.

He stopped his son, but looked at Cheng Xi and said calmly:

"Cheng Shijun, Your Majesty only ordered to stop the expedition to Liao, but he did not say to withdraw the troops immediately, let alone to take back the talismans, so now I still have the right to supervise the Qingzhou armies."

"So," he said with mockery in his calm eyes, "Is Mr. Cheng planning not to obey Tian's orders now?"

Tian Yu said as he stretched out his hand.

Tian Pengzu understood, took the talisman from the guard, and handed it to Tian Yu.

One effort can bring down ten levels.

Tian Yu took the talisman in his hand, and Cheng Xi's expression changed.

Seeing Tian Yu's mocking eyes, Cheng Xi felt that the other person looked at her like a clown.

But in front of His Majesty's talisman, Cheng Xi could only force a smile and say:

"How could it be? I just feel that now that foreign enemies are peeking into the country, the country is in difficulty, and it is a waste of money and food, it is best to save as much as possible..."

The Wei Dynasty seems to occupy eight points of the world and is in the middle.

But in fact, there are Hu people in the north who have invaded the border year after year.

There are Shu bandits in the west, and they are connected to the border.

There are Wu captives in the south, and they invade from the north every year.

Not to mention that over the years, the Wei Dynasty first lost Longyou and then Liangzhou.

Now the Shu people are becoming more and more rampant and threatening Guanzhong. Most of the elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are stationed in Guanzhong as a precaution.

Therefore, the only ones that can truly stabilize the Wei Dynasty and not be invaded by foreign enemies are Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou.

Probably in conflict with the national destiny of the Wei State, Jizhou has suffered from severe drought or locust plagues in recent years.

There was only a few years of peace and tranquility during the reign of the late Emperor and His Majesty.

In order to move the political center of the Wei state to Luoyang, the late emperor had to move 100,000 households from Jizhou to enrich Henan in the first year after he ascended the throne.

Then in the fourth year of Huangchu, there was a huge locust plague in Jizhou, causing starvation and death everywhere.

And in the second year of Taihe, that is, the year of the Battle of Longyou, there was a severe drought throughout the Wei Dynasty from Guanzhong to Guandong.

First there was a great defeat, and then there was a severe drought. If the Wei Dynasty had not had a solid foundation, it would have been in chaos internally if it had not been attacked by foreign enemies.

Everyone in the Wei Dynasty felt miserable, but they didn't know that this was just the beginning...

Because later there was the defeat of Shiting and the defeat of Xiaoguan, and Liangzhou fell into the hands of the Shu people...

The foundation accumulated by the two generations of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen has finally been completely destroyed over the years.

The officials in the Kanto states had to transport money, food and troops to the surrounding borders.

In addition, they had to endure the plundering by the noble families of Guandong. Most of the farmland developed during Emperor Wu's period had already been divided up by the wealthy families.

Runan is now the largest existing farmland in several states in the Kanto region. As a prefect, Tian Yu naturally knows these situations.

So for what Cheng Xi said, although he knew it was the other party's excuse, Tian Yu had to explain:

"In recent years, the Jianghuai area has been icy and cold in winter, and the fleet sent by Wu Lu to Liaodong only went to Liaodong after the beginning of spring, so it will definitely not bring winter clothes."

"So they must return to Wu before winter, otherwise it will be difficult to sail, and even the people on the boat may not be able to withstand the winter cold."

"Now that winter is only a month away, Wu Lu's fleet must be in a hurry to return to Wu. Therefore, I think that Wu Lu's fleet will definitely return in a few days or in ten days."

"If they don't pass through Chengshan, that's fine. If they do, if we stay a little longer and set up an ambush here in advance, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Cheng Xi originally wanted to ridicule Tian Yu for his whims, but after all, he was the governor of Qingzhou and he still had some brains.

If the Wu fleet really came after Tian Yu led his army to leave, wouldn't he just let the enemy leave without any preparation?

When His Majesty learns of this, he will definitely punish himself.

And if Tian Yu is allowed to stay a little longer and the Wu people come, he will be able to gain some credit.

If the Wu people don't come, then I can also file a memorial against Tian Yu, saying that he is just wasting money and food.

After thinking about this section, Cheng Xi pretended to be disdainful and snorted:

"General Tian, ​​how can you be sure when the Wu people will return? Even if they return, it is unknown whether they will pass through Chengshan."

"If the Wu people never come, then won't the soldiers have to wait here all the time? You have to tell me a time at least, right?"

Tian Yu nodded:

"What Cheng Shijun said is very true. Then we will give it half a month. If the Wu people don't arrive by then, I will apologize to your majesty without having to report to your Majesty Cheng Shijun."

“So best!”

Cheng Xi was overjoyed and thought to himself that this was what you said yourself. If the Wu people really don't come, let's see how I can report it to His Majesty.

Tian Yu made an agreement with Cheng Xi, and with Chengshan as the center, he personally went to the dangerous places on each mountain island to observe and arrange the ambush.

At this time, the wind was strong and the waves were high, and all the generals in Qingzhou were complaining as they led their troops to deploy their defenses.

Instead of Cheng Xi holding back his misfortune and wanting to sue afterward, there was no more secret manipulation.

In addition, Tian Yu held the talisman, so he planned to set up an ambush, so there would be no accidents.

However, after waiting for nearly ten days, they still did not see the Wu fleet. While the Qingzhou generals complained, they could not help but laugh at Tian Yu, saying that he was waiting for the enemy in the open space and holding up a basket to catch the rain.

At this time, even Tian Pengzu couldn't hold his breath:

"Sir, if the Wu people really don't come, I'm afraid Cheng Xi won't give up easily. Your Excellency, you should make preparations as soon as possible."

Tian Yu scolded:

"The deadline has not come yet, why are you panicking? I am loyal to the country, and there is no selfish intention in this case. Your Majesty is also a wise king, what should I be afraid of?"

Tian Pengzu sighed and did not dare to say any more.

But he thought secretly in his heart:

During the reign of Emperor Wu, your Excellency was already the prefect of Yiyang, and was later promoted to the prefect of Nanyang.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, Chijie served as the Colonel of Huwu Wan, guarding the border for the Wei Dynasty.

How much achievements have you made in the past ten years?

Who would have thought that His Majesty just transferred the Lord from Youzhou to Runan, but actually asked the Lord to become the prefect again...

Now it is said that I will let you supervise the troops in Qingzhou as the governor. In fact, you can't trust me and let Cheng Xi control it?

To put it bluntly, it means knowing the talents of the adults and using their abilities, but not willing to repay the merits of the adults and granting them high positions.

Thinking of this, Tian Pengzu felt a little angry:
To be continued...
