The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

At this moment, the battlefield has become a mess.

Some of the troops were intimidated by Xu Huang's cavalry, and the other part was exhausted from the continuous fighting and had no energy to continue fighting, so they could only take a temporary rest.

In addition, Liu Bei's main force coming from another direction was still quickly approaching from the rear, which gradually turned the fighting advantage of the southern city gate towards Liu Zheng.

After Zhao Yun's white horse followers blocked Xu Huang's troops for a while, they were still powerless. After losing hundreds of white horse followers, Zhao Yun saw that Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei and others had all withdrawn from the main battlefield. , can't continue to fight to the death here.

After a bloody battle, he chose to break through.

However, because there was no main force to surround Zhao Yun, it was easy for Zhao Yun and others to break out of the battle formation.

An hour later.

The battle at the southern city gate came to an end.

Xu Huang's cavalry swept across the battlefield here, forcing Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei and others to flee.

When Xu Huang returned to the city, the gate of Huainan City was closed again.

In this battle, Liu Zheng and Wenpin's subordinates lost more than 1 troops, and Xu Huang's subordinates also lost some.

Mainly in the battle with Baima Yicong, more than 2000 cavalry were lost.

However, the damage caused to the enemy was even greater. Not only did King Chen and Liu Chong be captured directly, but all the [-] soldiers brought by King Chen were defeated, and even more than [-] of Zhang Fei's men were wiped out quickly.

The people under Gongsun Zan also suffered heavy losses.

The [-] troops that had originally besieged Huainan City lost more than half of their men because of Liu Zheng's sudden attack out of the city.

There were only about 4 people left. These 4 people did not dare to continue the siege of the city, but withdrew from the scope of Huainan City and set up camp.

Chapter 693 Ordered to Suppress Bandits

"My lord, this time we have won a complete victory, annihilating 4 or [-] opponents, which can be regarded as directly repelling the enemy!"

This time Xu Huang finally felt elated. At the cost of his own loss of 2000 people, he wiped out the three-party coalition forces of Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, King Chen and Liu Chong, totaling more than 3 people.

The invincible Liu Bei who hit directly retreated [-] miles from the outside of Huainan City.

Xu Huang has never been so happy.

But he was happy, and Liu Zheng, who returned to the city, did not have any happy expression on his face.

It seems that in this battle, Liu Zheng seized the opportunity and beheaded tens of thousands of soldiers under Liu Bei in one fell swoop, forcing Liu Bei and others to retreat instead of continuing to besiege the city.

But in fact, this time Xu Huang's cavalry appeared, such a powerful cavalry, the stirrup that Liu Zheng had been hiding before, probably will not be able to hide it after this battle.

If these dead and wounded cavalry were picked up by someone with a heart on the battlefield, especially Gongsun Zan, the commander of the White Horse Yi Cong, once he learned of the existence of the stirrups.

You will definitely understand the role of the stirrup, especially once Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong has a stirrup, the enemy's cavalry will become even more powerful.

This is not good news.

Of course, the stirrup has been researched by Liu Zheng for several years, and it has been concealed for several years without being discovered. This matter cannot be concealed forever, and they will be aware of it sooner or later.

Now it is only a little earlier, but it is worthwhile for Liu Zheng to be able to cause such serious injuries to Liu Bei's people.

He was just worried that once the stirrups were known to the enemy, and the other cavalry also installed the stirrups, Liu Zheng's cavalry's advantage would not be so obvious.

But sooner or later they will know about the stirrups, and after such a long period of training, the cavalry under Liu Zheng must not be too inferior to the cavalry under other princes, even if they know about the stirrups The role of the two sides is also a [-]-[-] situation.

There is no need for Liu Zheng to worry too much about this.

"Although we directly repelled Liu Bei this time, Liu Bei's plan to flood Huainan City should not change, but will speed up as soon as possible."

This time Liu Zheng took the initiative to repel the siege of Liu Bei and others. In fact, he had no choice but to make an early response plan because he didn't want Liu Bei to flood Huainan City.

To be honest, he is really unwilling to fight Liu Bei under such circumstances, but since it has already started, he will not hesitate.

What made his face always ugly was that during this battle, he never saw the chariot general Lu Zhi.

Judging from the news from Jin Yiwei under his command, Liu Zheng had known for a long time that Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, together with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, went directly south to Huainan County.

However, several days had passed, and Liu Zheng had been watching from the tower, but he only saw Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan's men.

At first, Liu Zheng always thought that King Chen and Liu Chong's army belonged to Lu Zhi, but now after a big battle, he realized that if it was Lu Zhi's army, they would not be defeated so easily.

So Liu Zheng has been thinking in his heart at this time, where is the chariot general Lu Zhi?

"By the way, when my lord left the city to fight at the west city gate, I also caught one of the opponent's important generals."

Seeing Liu Zheng's solemn expression, Xu Huang remembered that he still had a prisoner under his command.

"Who is the important general?"

Liu Zheng also put aside these troublesome things for the time being, and asked along with Xu Huang's words.

Xu Huang turned his head, then waved to the outside of the room.

"Bring people in!"

Soon someone outside brought Chen Wang Liu Chong who had already been tied up immobile.

And pulled out what was stuffed in Liu Chong's mouth.

Liu Chong, who had been sobbing and unable to speak, finally regained a little freedom at this time.

"Fortunately, I still have some respect for you Yellow Turbans. I didn't expect you to treat the Han family clan like this. No wonder you are just a bunch of rebels! It will never be a big deal!"

He was bound for a long time, and he was not treated well as a prisoner, and he was abused like this. Even if Chen Wang Liu Chong had a good temper, after several tosses, he was made a little irritable.

Liu Zheng saw that this person was interested, so he asked directly.

"This brother are you?"

"I am Chen Wang Liu Chong!"

Liu Chong was still a little arrogant, but at this moment, he was kicked up by Xu Huang.

Liu Chong, who wanted to shout a few words at first, immediately became honest, and immediately had the appearance that a prisoner should have.

"Chen Wang, Liu Chong!"

Liu Zheng chanted the name carefully.

I don't have a big impression, because King Chen Liu Chong's reputation in history is not great, and he died too early, without causing any sensational events, so relying on the memory of his previous life, Liu Zheng really didn't know that there was such a person. people.

However, it was not that Liu Zheng had never heard of Liu Chong. In recent years, Liu Chong had risen in Yuzhou and became the largest prince in Yuzhou, even faintly surpassing the military strength of the governor of Yuzhou.

It is very close to Yangzhou, and it has long been the focus of Jin Yiwei's attention.

"I didn't expect you to be King Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Although Liu Zheng had heard of King Chen's name, it was the first time he had seen Liu Chong. With the attitude that everyone's surname was Liu, he was relatively friendly towards Liu Chong.

"Chen Wang, why don't you stay in your Yuzhou, why did you come to my Huainan County to join in the fun?"

"I was ordered to suppress the thieves."

"Order to suppress thieves? Whose order? To suppress what thieves?"

"Of course it's the emperor's order to destroy you, Liu Zheng, the traitor."

Liu Chong is also a tough guy. Even though he was face to face with Liu Zheng, his aura was not lost, and his mouth was still firm.

"I heard people say that you gathered some poor people in Yuzhou, and gave them fields and food. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Zheng was not angry at Liu Chong's words, but continued to talk to Liu Chong.

"Speaking of it, it's also thanks to you, Liu Zheng. If you hadn't made such a fuss in Runan back then, how could I, Chen Guo, have risen so quickly in this troubled world."

"So, you have to thank me."

"I really want to thank you. I took a look at you from a distance a few years ago. At that time, I thought you were very different. I didn't expect that you would have developed into such a person in the past few years. The situation is over, he is indeed the man Liu Chong values, and he is indeed worthy of my admiration."

"Oh? Have you seen me?"

Chapter 694 I got it!

"Naturally, I have seen it. It is precisely because I have seen how powerful you are that I have made a decision in my heart. I want to be the master of the people. In this troubled world, I want to create my own world just like you."

"To be honest, you really deserve some praise. You are the most admirable person I have ever met."

In his heart, Liu Chong has two views on Liu Zheng. On the one hand, he thinks that Liu Zheng is a traitor based on his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

On the other hand, he has seen Liu Zheng since he was a child, and actually has a bit of admiration for Liu Zheng, just like a star chaser. In his heart, he actually doesn't hate Liu Zheng at all, because Liu Zheng is real To be the master for the people, in order to give the people a stable life.

This is the same as his philosophy. It can also be said that he inherited Liu Zheng's philosophy.

From this point of view, he actually doesn't hate Liu Zheng at all, but admires Liu Zheng very much.

"I didn't expect you to be my fanboy. You probably said you were my fanboy after I caught you."

"What is a fanboy?"

Liu Zheng occasionally uttered some words from later generations, and these words were difficult for these people in ancient times to understand the meaning of them.

Liu Zheng himself coughed and hastily changed the subject.

"Ahem, it's nothing, Liu Chong, I have something to ask you, I hope you can tell the truth."

"You ask. Since I was caught by you, I also plan to be a prisoner. As long as I know, I will definitely tell you."

"Well, where did Lu Zhi go?"

Liu Zheng has always been worried about Lu Zhi. Originally, he had no place to inquire about Lu Zhi's news. It just so happened that Xu Huang had captured King Chen and Liu Chong. Although Liu Zheng didn't know how Liu Chong got mixed up with Liu Bei and the others, but At this time, Liu Zheng could only ask Liu Chong to ask about Lu Zhi's situation.

"Lu Zhi? I don't know."

Liu Chong was taken aback when he heard Liu Zheng's question, but was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Zheng to ask Lu Zhi.

"You don't know? Impossible. Lu Zhi and Liu Bei joined forces to attack Huainan. Why did you only see Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses, but Lu Zhi's men have not been seen for a long time? How dare you say you don't know?" Where is Lu Zhi?"

"I really don't know where Lu Zhi has gone."

In fact, Liu Chong really doesn't know, although Liu Chong came here with Liu Bei and others to attack Liu Zheng, but Liu Chong came here purely to join in the fun, he didn't come to fight Liu Zheng at all, he just came to see the excitement .

Moreover, Liu Chong was not Lu Zhi's direct line of troops, so Lu Zhi did not regard Liu Chong as his own at all, and Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's marching plan must have not been mentioned to Liu Chong.

So after Lu Zhi and Liu Bei split up and attacked two places respectively, Liu Chong didn't know either.

"Have you never met Lu Zhi?"

Seeing Liu Chong so resolutely saying that he did not know Lu Zhi's whereabouts, even Liu Zheng was surprised.

"Seeing is seeing."

"Where did you see it?"

"In my country of Chen, when I heard that they were going to raise troops to attack Huainan, I led my troops to join them, and wanted to come and see them together. At that time, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei came to welcome me. At that time, I saw Lu Zhi once."

Liu Zheng asked, but Liu Chong immediately recalled it carefully and told where he had met Lu Zhi.

"What then?"

"Later? I haven't seen Lu Zhi since then, but I really want to remember that on the way here, some of Liu Bei's garrison left. It should be at that time that Lu Zhi led his people away."

"Lu Zhi took people away!"

Hearing this, Liu Zheng's face became more solemn at this moment.

Liu Zheng is not afraid that Lu Zhi will not show up, what he fears most is that Lu Zhi will leave.

If Lu Zhi didn't show up, Liu Zheng would still know that Lu Zhi was ambushing around here and knew his whereabouts, but Lu Zhi left directly, which meant that Lu Zhi's focus was not on Huainan City at all.

"When and where did you leave!"

Liu Zheng hurriedly asked Liu Chong, his tone quickened a bit.

Seeing that Liu Zheng's expression was already a little displeased, Liu Chong didn't dare to offend Liu Zheng at this time, and answered immediately when he became aware of being a prisoner.

After he described the situation at that time in detail, Liu Zheng immediately walked a few steps and came to a rough map.

This is Liu Zheng's Jinyiwei. Combined with Liu Zheng's own geographical location of the Three Kingdoms, the map drawn is quite detailed.

He compared the news that Liu Chong had given him, then swipe on the map, and in an instant, his eyes fell on the boundary of Xuzhou.

"Xuzhou! Lu Zhi's goal is Xuzhou!"

Liu Zheng, who understood it all at once, suddenly realized it.

For a while, Liu Zheng seemed to fully understand why Liu Bei and others attacked the city directly at the beginning, but after knowing that they were here, they immediately stopped attacking the city and flooded Huainan City instead.

All of this is to delay time and delay Liu Zheng here.
