Although Tian Chou's army stopped attacking, Li Dian and Liu Yan were not relaxed. Both of them knew that Lu Ning's development over the past ten years had a great impact on the world, especially Lu Ning's abolishing of agricultural tax, which made the people of the world amazed. If it weren't for the strict precautions of the princes, many people under the rule of the princes would have probably gone to Lu Ning to produce and live.

The people in Puyang City yearn for it even more. After all, Puyang City is not very far from Lu Ning's jurisdiction, and the people are still very familiar with Lu Ning's various policies. Tian Chou's attack on Puyang City Wall did not panic. The people knew that the Lu Ning army would not make things difficult for the people. After the Lu Ning army entered the city, it would only bring benefits to the people, and would not act randomly. The people all understood this.

What Li Dian and Liu Yan are most worried about is that the people in the city are causing trouble, especially the merchants are even more troublesome. They are all aware of the situation under Zhongning's rule. If the people in the city are really causing trouble, then Li Dian and Liu Yan will have a headache, which is the biggest addiction.

After Tian Chou led his army back to the camp, he immediately asked his subordinates to write notices and Anmin notices, telling the people in Puyang City not to participate in the Cao army's defense. If people or wealthy families find that there are people who come out to help Cao's defense, once the city is captured, these people will be severely punished.

If the people or large households in the city contribute to the siege, they will be rewarded. As long as the people in the city do not participate in the Cao army's defense, the Lu Ning army will not infringe on any people after entering the city, which will ensure the safety of their property. If the people or large households send people to participate in the Cao army's defense, they will thoroughly investigate and punish the large households who join the Cao army's defense, and their property will be confiscated, and they will be a coolie for several years.

At night, Tian Chou asked his soldiers to shoot a large number of notices or notices of peace in the four gates of Puyang City; Cao's soldiers on duty in the city picked them up and read them, and many people were reading them. For a while, there were discussions in the entire Puyang City, and many large households were planning to see if it could help Lu Ning's army capture the city.

In fact, the people in the city have long longed to be under Lu Ning's rule and are willing to accept Lu Ning's rule. After all, there is no need to pay agricultural taxes under Lu Ning's rule, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for farmers. In addition, those who do business have been under Lu Ning's rule, and have long heard of how the lives of the people in their jurisdiction are. The people are looking forward to the arrival of Lu Ning's army every day, but waiting for more than ten years, which is the greatest wish in the hearts of the people.

Li Dian and Liu Yan also discovered the dynamics in the city and immediately ordered the soldiers to confiscate the propaganda documents in the city. However, no matter how they were confiscated, it would not be possible to confiscate them all. After all, some of them would fall into the hands of the people and soldiers.

Liu Yan said: "Tian Chou, despicable and shameless! This is a psychological warfare, trying to bewitch the people's hearts." Li Dian smiled bitterly and said: "Even though we know it is a bewitching the people's hearts, we have no choice! After all, the people yearn for a good life prospect. Don't say that the people yearn for it, don't even our generals yearn for it?"

Puyang was the place where Cao Cao made his fortune, which was very important to Cao Cao. Although it was developing well, it had a great impact on the policy of exempting agricultural taxes adopted by Lu Ning. Cao Cao did not dare to exempt agricultural taxes. Cao Cao's army's food and grass mainly relied on agricultural taxes once it was exempted, then there would be big problems immediately under Cao Cao's rule; while Lu Ning was different. Lu Ning's source of tax mainly relies on industry and commerce, and the proportion of agricultural tax was relatively small.

Tianchou's army was still not in a hurry to attack the city. Every day, it sent soldiers to bomb the Puyang city wall and retreated. It did not allow soldiers to transport soil to fill the moat, nor did it destroy the traps of the organs under the city. It just surrounded the Puyang city without forcing it, and adopted threatening measures.

Two days later, the soldiers on duty in Tianchou received a secret letter from Puyang City, which said that at the fourth update of the next night, the wealthy family surnamed Wang organized people to quietly open the north gate of Puyang City and ask Tianchou to send troops to respond.

Zhang Yan said: "Mr. Tian, ​​is this a trap for Li Dian and others?"

Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be."

In fact, they were the soldiers guarding the city in Puyang City, some of which were soldiers in Puyang City, and several were direct descendants of the wealthy families in the city. After seeing the letters from Tian Chou that were shot into the city, these soldiers in Puyang City also gave them to the people at home as soon as possible and finally discussed it.

The people or wealthy families in the city believed in the announcement and knew that Puyang City would be destroyed sooner or later. If this is the case, what will happen to the soldiers in Puyang City? Once the city is destroyed, the family will be dragged down. This is something that no one wants to see happening.

In response to this situation, the Wang family in Puyang City took the lead and invited several of the big families in the city to study. Finally, he decided to let the soldiers of his family quietly make appointments with other soldiers in the city in the army and decided to surrender to Lu Ning. This was why such a letter shot out of the city.

On the night of the third day, the sky was extremely dark, with no moon, and even the stars in the sky were not obvious. This was definitely a good day for sneak attacks.

Tian Chou asked Wu Qiu Jian to lead 5,000 cavalry of Feixiong Iron Cavalry to Puyang to ambush the west gate of Jiyin, and Ju Hu also led 5,000 cavalry of Feixiong Iron Cavalry to ambush the south gate leading to Juancheng; asked Zhang Yan to lead 10,000 cavalry of Feixiong Iron Cavalry to hide at the gate of the gate, and immediately rushed into Puyang City when the city gate was opened, and the soldiers and horses of the city were eliminated as soon as possible; while Tian Chou led 10,000 cavalry of Feixiong Iron Cavalry to follow Zhang Yan into the city.

At the fourth update, there were torches shaking on the wall of the north gate of Puyang, which was a signal from the inside of the city!

Tian Chou said: "Respond!"

With Tian Chou's order, a soldier next to him immediately lit a torch, raised it over his head and shook it a few times.

After a while, the north gate of Puyang City lowered the suspension bridge and the city gate slowly opened!

Tian Chou shouted excitedly: "Set out!"

After hearing the order, Zhang Yan immediately led 10,000 Flying Bear Cavalry to kill him towards the north gate of Puyang City, while Tian Chou personally led 10,000 Flying Bear Infantry to follow him and kill him towards the city gate.

The loud noise made when the suspension bridge fell and the city gate opened also alarmed the other Cao army soldiers guarding the city at the north gate. However, with the efforts of the soldiers in the city and the people in the city, they stopped the counterattack of Cao soldiers and won valuable time for Zhang Yan's army to enter the city.

Zhang Yan crushed ten thousand iron cavalry into the city gate and immediately ruthlessly chopped the Cao army soldiers who were still fighting stubbornly. The sabers in the hands of the Feixiong soldiers raised high and slashed the Cao army soldiers vigorously. Some Cao army soldiers were directly trampled into meat by war horses! Some were hit by war horses and flew into the sky.

Infantry to stop the impact of the cavalry is definitely a struggle. Besides, it is the iron cavalry soldiers who have fought many battles. For the soldiers of the Feixiong Army, they are never ruthless to the enemy. Every time they use a knife, they will bring blood flowers. Their killing skills are very perfect, they pay great attention to effectiveness, and they never do extra moves, striving to win the sword and kill, and one knife is fatal. This is a unique skill extracted from the war.
