In the mountains of Meng, a group of over five hundred riders galloped along the narrow mountain path.
These riders kept their banners hidden and remained silent, clearly cautious of being detected, even within their own territory.
"Lord Cheng is indeed full of vigor despite his old age. He has been riding for such a long time and yet shows no signs of fatigue."
A cavalryman looked at the old man in the front of the cavalry, whose face appeared somewhat aged, with strands of white hair and long beard. He couldn't help but admire.
"Hmm?"
那名老者身后，另一名年纪也不轻的老将似乎心有所感，转过头看向那名骑卒。
“啊，程普将军，在下不是说您，在下说的是仲德公！”
The sergeant panicked and hastily responded, fearing that the experienced general would get angry.
In recent years, Cheng Pu rarely personally went to the battlefield, instead, he mostly oversaw important cities or trained new soldiers alongside Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao. These four veteran generals, once known as the "Four Claws of the Tiger" in Jiangdong, gradually faded from the public eye. Considering their age, most people did not pay much attention to these four veterans in their forties.
After all, this is no longer the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle against Dong Zhuo.
In this era, numerous heroes have risen, and talented strategists are abundant.
When it comes to martial arts, there are top-notch warriors like Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, as well as countless formidable generals. In comparison, a few mediocre late-stage warlords are simply not worth mentioning.
If it comes to commanding troops, veterans such as Qu Yi, Cao Chun, Zhang Ren, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Cao Ren are far superior to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao.
Therefore, the disappearance of these veteran commanders has hardly been noticed by many. Translated content:
但，曹军后来的士兵和许都讲武堂出身的将校，都对这四位老将有一种深深的恐惧感和敬佩之意。
四位老将对于新兵和许都讲武堂的将校的训练，可以说是只要训不死人就不停，这是众人对他们恐惧的原因。曾经有人不服四位老将，但四位老将将身上二流中后期的气势一放，众人对于老将的不服也就消失了。
It is most appropriate for these four veteran soldiers, who possess second-rate martial arts skills and have accumulated years of experience in commanding troops, to instruct these new recruits and officers from the Academy of Military Training in Xudu.
Cheng Pu deeply glanced at the cavalryman, then turned his head without saying a word. However, the cavalryman was so frightened by this glance that he felt his soul leaving his body.
Another cavalryman beside the first one looked at him with a gloating expression and chuckled, "You, my friend, have offended General Cheng Pu. You're in for a tough time during the next training session. Hahaha!"
As a mediocre late-stage military general, Cheng Pu naturally had good hearing and could hear the words of the several cavalry soldiers behind him. However, he didn't pay much attention to them because his heart was already excited and eager to join the battle. Please note that the translation above is not literal and has been slightly modified for better readability in English.
Cao Pu has been silent all along, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Cheng Yu, at the forefront, suddenly turned his head and said, "No, we must speed up and enter Donghai County as soon as possible."
Huang Gai hesitated for a moment and then said, "Zhongde, our troops have already traveled ninety li today, and it's getting dark. Do we need to push for faster speed without taking a break?"
Cheng Pu's gaze was deep and he sighed, saying, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. The Eastern Sea County is currently facing an uncertain future, and I don't know if Che Zhou can withstand the heavy pressure from Zhang He."
Huang Gai also knew about the crisis in Donghai County.
These four veteran generals were originally brought in specifically to prevent any accidents in Taishan County, so a portion of the garrison troops were temporarily stationed there. However, after Cheng Yu was ordered to Taishan County, he not only failed to appear and assist Li Dian with his strategic plans, but instead remained hidden, intending to offer advice from the shadows and also cultivate Zhou Yu. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao assigned Li Dian the task of surprise attacking Qingzhou.
So Cheng Yu decided to continue hiding in the darkness to guard against the Yuan army's advance towards Taishan County. Unexpectedly, he received a report from one of the subordinates of Wu Dun, the pacifier of Xuzhou Town in Mingjing Hall, saying that traces of the Yuan army's warships had been found at the seaside. With Cheng Yu's remarkable intelligence and the previous surprise attack by Li Dian and the Xuanwu Army in Qingzhou, Cheng Yu naturally understood the intentions of the Yuan army. Wu Dun had just planned to report this matter to the prefects of the coastal counties for defense, but he did not expect that the Yuan army had taken the initiative.
At the same time, Cheng Yu also mobilized the only five hundred cavalry and four senior generals from the garrison to rush to Donghai County for assistance day and night.

Three days later, at Jiqiu City, there were still many flames burning outside the city. The ground was covered with swords, rolling logs, boulders, arrows, as well as severed limbs. There were also numerous cracks appearing on the city gate, and the inner side of the gate was completely sealed with sand and soil.
On the city wall, the qiu cheng's defender stood upright, leaning against his long spear. His long hair was disheveled, covered in blood, and his body was full of wounds.
The Yuán army below had long surrounded Qiu Cheng like an iron barrel, with Yuán Tán himself as the main commander.
"There are so many brave warriors in the Cao army."
Yuan Tan looked at the commander of Jiucheng on the city wall, feeling somewhat conflicted.
Last time in Quxian, Mi Zhong organized forces to resist the Yuan army even when the city was breached. All four gate commanders of Quxian fought to the death, which also weighed heavily on Yuan Tan's mind. During his previous conquest of Qingzhou, many cities surrendered without a fight when surrounded by his large army. Those who were more resolute or had thoughts of bargaining fought for some time before surrendering. He had never encountered such resilient city defenders before, and it took some time for him to adapt and his mindset suffered a bit as well.
Yuan Tan shook his head and grasped his spear tightly, slashing towards the city wall. "Step up the attack! Capture Jiqiu before sunset!"

PS: Why are there so many trolls recently? They either skip through or only read a few chapters before concluding that I'm writing about time-travelers following the original historical route. Or they don't even read it and just directly criticize without any reasons. Did I provoke you guys in any way? And those who search for Three Kingdoms and complain in my review section why I don't write about the Warring States period, saying that the historical scope of the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms is small and not worth writing about, I am truly speechless. But after giving it some thought, except for those personal attacks, I haven't deleted anything and kept them. I really hope everyone can show some mercy; life at Red Dust University is truly busy. This semester, I have classes almost every day, and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, there are training sessions. On Sunday mornings, I also have a specialized course at school. I only have time to write in the evenings, and sometimes I have department tasks and assignments to do. Sometimes the writing might not be very good, and I might not have the time and energy to update promptly. I really hope everyone can understand.
