The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

These more than 2 horses, plus Zhang Ning's tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, finally gave Liu Zheng some confidence to fight against Liu Guan, Zhang Cao Cao and others.

If his surprise attack plan can be successful, I believe that relying on these people, Liu Zheng can even defeat Liu Guanzhang in one fell swoop.

Two days later, Zang Ba really brought people here and found Liu Zheng.

It is almost the same as Liu Zheng expected. According to Liu Zheng's previous guess, it is unlikely that all bandits will follow Zang Ba to join Liu Zheng. There will definitely be some people who are tired of this kind of life and want to live in Taishan with peace of mind. A farmer in the mountains.

Zang Ba also brought only more than [-] people.

With Zang Ba's refuge, Liu Zheng was very happy, and he cleaned up the dust for Zang Ba and others that day.At the wine table, while drinking wine, he described Liu Zheng's next plan with Zang Ba.

Originally there were no Cao Bao and Zang Ba, but Liu Zheng's plan was relatively simple, which was to rush to Beihai as quickly as possible, and then unite with Zhang Ning's men to confront Liu Guanzhang, and wait until Tai Shici's men attacked Xuzhou , Forcing Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, to return to aid, so that the pressure on Liu Zheng and Zhang Ning will be reduced.

And then also played some advantages in the Qingzhou battlefield.

However, now with Cao Bao and Zang Ba, Liu Zheng needs to change his original plan. At least, he has a new idea. This idea may be able to severely damage those officers and soldiers.

First of all, Cao Bao, Cao Bao is Tao Qian's person, and the other party doesn't know yet, Liu Zheng has already made Cao Bao rebel, so let Cao Bao continue to cause some turmoil here, and then let Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others pretend that Cao Bao is really in the east. Lai County made a big deal, and after the news spread to the ears of Tao Qian and others.

Cao Bao then led his troops to join Tao Qian and others in Beihai.

But in fact, Liu Zheng used his own people to pretend to be Cao Bao's people, and the people led by Cao Bao had become Liu Zheng's people.

And Liu Zhengce appeared in Beihai and joined Zhang Ning, inviting Liu Guanzhang and others to fight in Beihai, attracting their attention.

When Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao and others were all gathered in Beihai, Liu Zheng suddenly launched an attack and asked Zhang Ning's men and his own men to gather together to launch an attack on Liu Guanzhang. At this time, it must be a situation between brothers.

But now Liu Zheng still has the assistance of these bandits, which gives Liu Zheng some cards.

There are some extra soldiers and horses. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of these bandits under Zang Ba, at least the number is here, and they must be able to pose some threats to Liu Guanzhang.

After some explanations, at the wine table, Zang Ba finally understood what Liu Zheng meant.After listening to it, I was also very excited. If Liu Zheng really defeated those officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, not only Qingzhou can be controlled, even Xuzhou may be involved.

After Zang Ba's people came to Liu Zheng's place, Liu Zheng didn't have to wait anymore. He ordered Wenpin's men to pretend to be Cao Bao's men, and began to attack the county in Donglai wantonly, and arranged for the county magistrate to pretend to be Surrender after attacking.

In such a day, the little half of Donglai was beaten down.

At the same time, Cao Bao sent a trustworthy person to deliver a letter to Tao Qian, saying that he had captured Donglai.

The person who sent the letter was personally selected by Cao Bao. Liu Zheng still believed in Cao Bao. Although he investigated this person, he did not find anything suspicious, so he asked someone from his side to accompany him to deliver the letter. Tao Qian delivered the letter.

In this way, two days later, Tao Qian sent a message back to Cao Bao, asking Cao Bao to go along the direction of Beihai and follow him to meet.

At this time, Liu Zheng also sent news to Zhang Ning, and led Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's navy to Beihai.

The siege of Beihai City is also surrounded by three and one missing, and there is no one guarding the side facing Donglai, so the reinforcements led by Liu Zheng entered the city easily from the direction of Donglai.

Chapter 585 Conspiracy

Of course, although no one is guarding, some spies are essential.

The news of Liu Zheng's appearance in Beihai must have been known by Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao and others.

After the news of Liu Zheng's arrival in Qingzhou was known by Liu Guanzhang and Cao Cao, Liu Bei invited Cao Cao, Tao Qian and others to discuss matters, intending to discuss how to deal with Liu Zheng.

Liu Bei's camp outside Beihai City.

"Meng De, our spies said that yesterday an army of more than ten thousand men came from Donglai, and entered Beihai City through the east gate. It was reported that it was Liu Zheng who came from Yangzhou. What do you think of this matter?"

"Me? You should ask the governor Tao Qian about this first, brother Gong Zu's name of Tao Qian."

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Tao Qian. After all, Tao Qian told them the day before that he sent Cao Bao, the man he sent to Donglai, to take down most of Donglai. Come from the direction of Donglai.

Tao Qian was taken aback for a moment, but continued without haste.

"Cao Bao seems to have sent someone to tell me that he saw a lot of ships on the coast of Donglai, and there were a lot of people. He didn't rush to fight the opponent. Those people who come here are Liu Zheng who came from Yangzhou."

Cao Bao has only more than 2 people under him. When he attacked Donglai, he would definitely suffer losses. When facing Liu Zheng's army coming from the sea, it was reasonable that he did not act rashly.

After hearing Tao Qian's answer, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei nodded.

"So, the person who came here is definitely Liu Zheng?"

Liu Bei nodded and fell into a thoughtful look.

"Okay, it would be great if it was Liu Zheng. I have a lot of grudges with this guy, and this time it must be resolved in Qingzhou."

Cao Cao was quite excited after hearing the news.

The grudge between him and Liu Zheng is relatively deep. Since Liu Zheng just debuted, when he was in the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao had a fierce confrontation with Liu Zheng, and he also suffered under Liu Zheng.

Later, when he was in Huainan, he was put together by Liu Zheng and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Although Cao Cao was blessed by misfortune and became the current governor of Yanzhou, his strength greatly increased.

However, the hatred between Cao Cao and Liu Zheng has not diminished at all. This is hardly hatred, but there is also a feeling of sympathy between heroes.

In Cao Cao's view, there are not many princes in the world who can fall into Cao Cao's eyes, but Liu Zheng is one of them, and he is the one Cao Cao values ​​more.

When fighting with others, Cao Cao even needs to use too much thought, thinking that he can win, but every time he fights against Liu Zheng, Cao Cao cheers up and tries hard, but he still suffers under Liu Zheng. deficit.

"Brother Meng De, Liu Zheng is so powerful, why did he suddenly come to Qingzhou this time?"

"It's not easy. Liu Zheng was born in the Yellow Turban Army. When I was in Runan, I remember that Zhang Ning, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai County, had a good relationship with Liu Zheng."

"Before, Zhang Ning led the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and gathered under Liu Zheng for a while. Presumably, Zhang Ning has been standing firm in Beihai for the purpose of waiting for Liu Zheng to come to support him."

"Liu Zheng is here. For us, it is an opportunity. Qingzhou is not his Yangzhou. Liu Zheng probably doesn't have many soldiers in Qingzhou. You can see that he only led more than [-] people and dared to come to Beihai. There must not be many people coming."

"If we can keep him in Qingzhou, then as long as the leader Liu Zheng dies, those territories under Liu Zheng will definitely take the opportunity to become chaotic, and the recovery of the big man will be just around the corner."

Liu Bei's question triggered a series of answers from Cao Cao. In Cao Cao's heart, defeating Liu Zheng may have become his obsession.

And Liu Bei nodded after listening to Cao Cao's words. Although Liu Bei also had a relationship with Liu Zheng, it was before Hulao Pass. When Liu Bei followed Lu Zhi, Liu Zheng was not the current Liu Zheng at that time. Liu Zheng is not enough to attract Liu Bei's attention.

Now, it is already the most powerful enemy of the Han Empire.

"I heard that Liu Zheng recently fought against Ding Yuan in Jingzhou. How come he comes to us when he is free?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm curious about, but no matter why he came here, since he's here, we have to keep him here."

Cao Cao is already eager to try. He is not alone in dealing with Liu Zheng this time, but also Liu Guanzhang, Tao Qian and others. The soldiers and horses of these people add up to more than the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai. Doubled, this is enough for Tao Qian, Liu Guanzhang and others to have enough confidence.

Originally, Liu Guanzhang and Cao Cao only prepared 4 troops to station in Qingzhou. After successive battles, they also lost some, leaving more than 3 people. However, when Tao Qian led [-] people and dared to come, they There are more than [-] troops here.

Even though Liu Zheng has brought 1 people here, the soldiers and horses he has in Beihai are about [-] enemies, and Tao Qian has another part of soldiers and horses, people like Cao Bao, who are rushing over from Donglai County ,.

If Cao Bao is counted, then they have 9 people. Such a force is far superior to the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, so naturally they will not have any fear.

"Then how are we going to deal with Liu Zheng? Let's discuss a charter. We can't just go there and attack. You know, Liu Zheng is full of tricks. If we don't have a suitable method and want to defeat him, But it's not easy."

"There really needs to be a way, and the way I see it, we can do that."

Cao Cao approached Liu Bei and began to talk to Liu Bei about his plan.

As soon as Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, his face immediately showed a trace of solemnity, and then he kept nodding in agreement, as if he agreed with Cao Cao's words very much.

From time to time, Liu Bei added a few words to supplement Cao Cao's plan.

Tao Qian, who was on the side, heard that Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already thought up a way to deal with Liu Zheng, and he didn't express his opinions, and let them decide everything.

The three of them were in the big tent, and quickly discussed a charter. Without further delay, Liu Zheng was not given time to rest in Beihai County. He took advantage of this afternoon to lead his troops and appeared in Beihai City. under the city.

Tens of thousands of troops lined up, banners and banners fluttering, and shadows like a forest.

The horn sounded, and several rulers appeared below the city, screaming loudly towards the city.

"Yellow Turban Rebels, we have besieged you in Beihai for several days. Are you still stubborn? I will give you one last chance. If you don't surrender, we will attack the city!"

Chapter 586

Under Liu Bei's signal, Zhang Fei walked out of the army, shouted loudly, and began to roar towards the tower.

Guan Hai, who was in charge of defending the city, had already rushed to the tower when the enemy troops under the city made some changes, and was in charge of defense, fearing that the enemy would suddenly attack the city.

At this time, when he saw a general from the enemy army come out and call out, he immediately looked over and began to respond to Zhang Fei after Zhang Fei finished speaking.

"Officer dog, attack the city if you have the ability, don't talk nonsense in the city, it's just making noise!"

Guan Hai rejected Zhang Fei's words with one sentence.Zhang Fei was so angry that his teeth itched, so he continued to growl at the top of his throat.

"You cowards, you can only hide in the city, if you have the ability, come out and fight your grandpa Zhang Fei for 300 rounds!"

"They're all eggless cowards, are you trash left in the Yellow Turban Army? No one dares to come out to fight?"

"It's trash, a bunch of trash, go home and farm, don't imitate people and rebel!"

Zhang Fei used the aggressive method to keep shouting loudly under the city. Guan Hai and others who scolded were very angry, but they couldn't fight back.

Guan Hai and the others are also arrogant generals. Although they are all members of the Yellow Turban Army, they can be scolded as eggless men. How can they bear it in their mother's heart? Going out of the city, I started a fight with Zhang Fei.

However, Zhang Ning had told them before that they could only stick to the city wall and not fight easily. Guan Hai didn't listen to what other people said, but he still cared about the words of Zhang Ning, a saint, so he endured it all the time and failed. Zhang Fei's plan.

Although Zhang Fei in the city kept yelling and scolding, despised the defenders in the city, and even scolded as badly as possible, but Guan Hai and others in the city chose to ignore them and let them yell.

After Zhang Fei scolded for a while in the city, his mouth might be dry, so he didn't continue to scold.

The scolding was a little annoying, Liu Zheng and Zhang Ning were alarmed by these enemy troops outside the city, and slowly came to the tower from the city.

Liu Zheng appeared in the tower of Beihai City, and he had just met Zhang Ning.

Before he even had time to say a few words of love to Zhang Ning, he was attracted by the movement outside the city, and had to run from the city to observe what Liu Bei and others wanted to do.

Standing on the tower, Liu Zheng took a glance outside the city and saw that the enemy army had already formed a tight formation below the city. He knew at a glance that they must be attacking the city, so he frowned immediately. .

Before he could say anything in the future, Cao Cao walked out of the army and shouted loudly at the tower, as if he had noticed Liu Zheng's presence on the tower.

"Liu Zheng, I know you are here, come out, we are old friends, come out and have a chat."

Cao Cao's words did not surprise Liu Zheng at all. He was able to enter Beihai City from outside the city, so how could he not know that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others had set up many hidden and bright posts outside the city.The other side must have heard of him being able to enter Beihai City.

So I didn't hide it. After Cao Cao spoke, Liu Zheng stuck his head out on the battlement and responded to Cao Cao.

"Brother Meng De, long time no see, don't come here to be safe."

"Thanks to brother Liu, life has been pretty good recently."

"Really? Then you have to thank me very much. If it weren't for me, how could you be the governor of Yanzhou? Otherwise, you would still be fooling around with that Zhang Miao."

Cao Cao said it lightly, and Liu Zheng also had the cheek to agree.

"Hahaha, I really have to thank you. Why, come out and have a drink in my military tent? Shall I prepare some thin wine to show my gratitude?"

"Brother Mengde, there's no need for that. You also know that I don't like to drink alcohol. If you really want to invite me and the hospitality is hard to repay, I'll trouble you to discount it. You can see how much it is converted into gold. Just send someone to bring it up."

The dialogue between Liu Zheng and Cao Cao was quite interesting. Both of them were chatting on the surface, but they were actually inquiring about each other's reality.

Through this kind of nonsense, one can speculate on the purpose of the other party's coming here.

But obviously a few dry words did not have much substantive content, and Cao Cao had no way of inferring Liu Zheng's purpose here, and Liu Zheng also didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do when he suddenly stood up and called for battle.

After chatting for a few useless words, Cao Cao finally got to the point.

"I didn't expect that the famous Liu Zheng would not dare to come to my thank you appointment. Forget it, since you don't have the guts, then just talk about the business."

"You and I have fought against each other a few times, but we have never had a good confrontation. How about this time, give me a chance to perform?"

Cao Cao said this with a slightly disdainful look, the purpose is to want Liu Zheng to go out of the city and fight him.

If Liu Zheng never leaves the city and sticks to the city with these Yellow Turbans, then Liu Zheng can always spend with them.Kill time and wait until reinforcements arrive.

In that case, it would be detrimental to Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others.

But if Liu Zheng can go out of the city to fight, with the strength of the generals under Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, they have absolute confidence that they can suppress Liu Zheng on the battlefield, and even keep Liu Zheng outside the city to block the possibility of him returning to the city.

Perhaps it is possible to calm down the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai City in one fell swoop.

The premise of all this must be based on the possibility of Liu Zheng going out of the city to fight, so Cao Cao came out in person, chatted with Liu Zheng, and wanted Liu Zheng to go out to fight.

If it was normal, Liu Zheng would not be so stupid, and would go out of the city to fight Cao Cao under such circumstances, when he could win by just sticking to it.

But in this situation, Liu Zheng already has a follow-up plan, so he is not so resistant to going out of the city to fight Cao Cao, and even because of this, he can contain the main force of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, bringing him a follow-up plan. Some good progress, then there is no need for Liu Zheng to refuse.

After a little thought, he spoke back to Cao Cao.

"Brother Meng De, I just need to defend the city and wait for my reinforcements to arrive before I can beat you back. Do you think I am so stupid to go out of the city to fight you as you promised?"

"Hahaha, after all, I dare not come out to compete. You, Liu Zheng, are really a coward."

"You can explain anything if you are a rat or not, but if you really want me to go out of the city to fight with you, it's not impossible."

"Oh? What conditions do you have?"

"The condition is actually very simple. I remember that you have a cousin named Cao Ren, right?"

Cao Cao didn't know why Liu Zheng suddenly mentioned his cousin Cao Ren, but he didn't refute it, but affirmed it.
