The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng got information about Xiliang from Jin Yiwei, one of his subordinates, an hour ago.

According to the report of Jinyiwei spies lurking in Xiliang, [-] cavalry suddenly appeared in Zhangye County on the border of Xiliang. These cavalry were not Han Chinese, but were raised by Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei transported a lot of grain and grass from Yizhou before, all of which were transported to Xiliang, and they were specially drawn to these cavalry.

Originally, the appearance of [-] cavalry in Xiliang did not attract Liu Zheng's close attention, but these tens of thousands of cavalry were not Han Chinese, but cavalry wearing some clothes they had never seen before, which made Liu Zheng interested.

After sending people to investigate further, the guards in Jinyi came out with information that these cavalry were actually cavalry from the Guishuang Empire.

This matter immediately reminded Liu Zheng of a few months ago.

The Han court suddenly dispatched Fazheng to lead a group of envoys as envoys.

At that time, Liu Zheng also taunted that the days of big men are already declining, and they can't take care of themselves. How can he have spare money to go on an envoy.

But what Liu Zheng never expected was that the purpose of Fazheng's mission was not to facilitate the trade between the two countries to grow the economy, but to go to the Guishuang Empire with a purpose, and successfully borrowed 5 yuan from the Guishuang Empire. Thousands of elite soldiers!

This result frightened Liu Zheng.

If it's just Liu Bei's [-] soldiers and horses.

On the Jingzhou battlefield, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses naturally don't need to be afraid of Liu Bei.

You don't even need to defend, just go out of the city to attack, and you can repel Liu Bei's troops.

But now I know that Liu Bei also hid 5 cavalry.

And there are tens of thousands of troops under Ma Teng in Xiliang.

Together they are a powerful reinforcement.

And most of them are cavalry. If they pass through Sansuke's land and go directly south to attack Nanyang, they may be able to support them here in a short time.

Even now when Liu Zheng and others are discussing, the cavalry from Xiliang are already on the way.

So Liu Zheng had to be on guard.

For one thing, he would not let his soldiers and horses take the initiative to go out of the city to meet Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Just in case he fell into a trick and ended up in a situation beyond redemption.

Secondly, Liu Zheng began to order the factories under his command to make Zhuge Liannu wantonly.

If it is to deal with cavalry, Zhuge Liannu may be a major weapon for him.

It can become a killer weapon and deal a heavy blow to those cavalry.

Liu Zheng sent an order to Xu Huang at the same time.He wanted Xu Huang to pay close attention to the battle in Nanyang.

If there is a chance, Xu Huang can surprise Yanzhou.

Block the connection between Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

While Liu Bei attacked Jingzhou, Liu Zheng could also choose to attack Yanzhou.

The method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao in this way depends on how Liu Bei chooses in his mind.

If he chooses Nanyang, Jingzhou, it will be difficult to preserve Yanzhou, which is under the enemy's back and forth.

If Liu Bei chooses to support Yanzhou, the pressure on the siege of Jingzhou will be greatly reduced.

Even the crisis can be resolved.

The method proposed by Guo Jia reassured Liu Zheng temporarily.

I thought this would solve Jingzhou's troubles.

But it didn't take long, a few days later.

The news should not have reached Xu Huang's hands yet.

Liu Zheng received new information from Youzhou.

In the northern Xianbei grassland, the various tribes in the central Xianbei that were previously wiped out by Sun Ce and others began to revive.

Reappeared on the grassland.

And it came fiercely, as if to repel these cavalry stationed on the grassland.

After Jin Yiwei went to inquire about the news, he found out.

This is Bu Dugen, the leader of the Eastern Xianbei, after learning that Ke Bineng died in battle.

He sent out his own army and began to occupy the territory that originally belonged to Ke Bineng.

The ability to follow alone on the grassland is no worse than Kebineng.

His subordinates alone can have tens of thousands of troops from his own tribe.

If the various small tribes were united to form a coalition army, it would be easy to form an army of more than 10.

Another threat of 10 soldiers and horses.

It made Xu Huang guarding Jizhou a little nervous.

He also counted on Liu Zheng to increase his troops to support Jizhou.

But now Liu Zheng, how can there be extra troops to add troops to Xu Huang.

The only troops were the [-] new army that Zhang Liao had just formed.

But it took less than a month for Zhang Liao to form this new army.

The time is a bit too short.

It's not enough to take it out to fight on the battlefield.

Therefore, after Liu Zheng fell into deep thought, it is worth speeding up Zhang Liao's training time.

At the same time, tell Xu Huang that if a war breaks out, Zhang Liao can be dispatched directly.

In addition, Liu Zheng also gave Xu Huang greater authority.

Elite soldiers from the counties of Jizhou and Youzhou can be recruited directly.

Although the two places suffered from the flames of war, after Liu Zheng took over, some counties in various places still recruited some people.

Although there are not many people in each county, there are only a few hundred people, and there are no more than 2000 people.

But together, it is still possible to form a force of no less than 2 soldiers.

Although it is difficult for these people to let them go into battle to kill the enemy.However, it is not a problem to do logistics work and transport food, grass and luggage.

After solving the problem in the north in this way.

Liu Zheng set his sights on the Jingzhou battlefield again.

Without Xu Huang's support, Yanzhou could not attract Liu Bei's attention.

Then the crisis on the Jingzhou battlefield suddenly became more severe.

It even made Liu Zheng feel that something was wrong with this battle.

Liu Zheng couldn't sit still in Jianye City anymore.

In mid-October, he finally decided to secretly go to Jingzhou.

Take command of the battle yourself.

Sit on the front line and face Liu Bei.

At the end of October, Liu Zheng finally quietly came to Nanyang County under the escort of his Jin Yiwei.

And met Gan Ning who had been stationed here for two months.

At this moment, Gan Ning seemed a little tired, although the enemy had not attacked with much fanfare in the past two months.

They will come to attack in three days, and Gan Ning will never tire of annoying him.

He didn't dare to rest, and he never tires of cheating.Uneven, which attack is the real attack.

So Gan Ning has been worried for two months.

Dare not have any negligence.

Especially recently, Liu Bei's army has attacked Wancheng more frequently.

Let Gan Ning not have a good rest!

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Liu Zheng's sudden visit surprised Gan Ning.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and 38 The Eve of the Great War

He didn't think Liu Zheng shouldn't have come at this time, but he was worried about Liu Zheng's safety.

After all, the army is just outside the city now, if Liu Bei's men attack desperately.

The manpower currently stationed in Wancheng may not be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

"Xingba, you have been confronting each other in Wancheng for two or three months. I came to see you and brought you some sharp weapons for defending the city."

The reason why Liu Zheng came here at this time is precisely because he let his workshop make Zhuge Liannu wantonly a few days ago.

Now he has brought the first batch of Zhuge Liannu to the battlefield.

It was used to equip Gan Ning's men and horses.

In the event of a big battle, he can use the Zhuge Liannu to catch the opponent by surprise.

When Liu Zheng took out several thousand Zhuge Liannu, it had already attracted Gan Ning's attention.

The last time Liu Zheng hosted a banquet to demonstrate the power of Zhuge Liannu to the officials.

Gan Ning was not present, but those generals who stayed in Jianye were present.

And Gan Ning has been stationed in Jingzhou, so he missed the demonstration of Zhuge Liannu.

However, it has been several months since Zhuge Liannu was tossed out by Liu Zheng.

Although Gan Ning hadn't seen it directly, he still heard about it.

Hearing what Liu Zheng said at this moment, he immediately thought that what Liu Zheng was talking about was Zhuge Liannu.

Get excited right away.

With these Zhuge Liannu, the combat power of his soldiers and horses has greatly increased.

When facing Guan Yu's army, he has more confidence.

"Your Majesty, you are really a timely help. With these things, I will be more confident in defeating Guan Yu!"

"This is a batch that has been rushed out recently. Those produced before were shipped to General Huang Zhong. It must be estimated that General Huang Zhong's subordinates can already assemble a 5000-man crossbow team."

"Shangyong City, there is probably no threat."

"I heard that Liu Zhang sent 2 troops from Chengdu to Shangyong recently. I guess it should be in response to Liu Bei's call. A mere 2 troops want to take down Shangyong City guarded by General Huang Zhong. I'm afraid that Liu Zhang is Telling people about dreams."

Liu Zhang of Yizhou has also become dishonest recently. He sent [-] troops from Chengdu, and ordered Zhang Lu to lead the troops directly, and set off from Hanzhong to attack Shangyong.

It is not far from Hanzhong to Shangyong. If you really want to walk, it will take half a month.

In fact, it didn’t take half a month. It was only because the geographical location from Hanzhong to Shangyong was not good. They were all mountainous and it was inconvenient to march, so they walked slowly.

At the beginning of October, Liu Zhang sent troops, and it was not until recently that he really reached the vicinity of Shangyong City.

However, a mere 2 soldiers and horses could not shake Shangyong's defense at all.

Not to mention Shangyong City, the city has solid walls.

Even the troops stationed in the city amounted to [-], no less than Liu Zhang's troops. These troops were all Huang Zhong's archers.

As long as Liu Zhang's troops dare to attack the city, these shooters will tell Liu Zhang what it means to be shot into a hornet's nest.

Knowing that there were only [-] troops coming to attack, Huang Zhong didn't even intend to stay in Shangyong. He left [-] soldiers and ordered Le Jin and Li Dian to command the commanders, while he himself led another [-] troops to Xiangyang, intending to sit in the central area. .

Support everywhere at any time and attack as a surprise soldier.

After Liu Zheng came to Nanyang, Huang Zhong also followed and arrived in Fancheng, not far from Nanyang.

The purpose is also obvious, that is, to worry about Liu Zheng's accident, Huang Zhong can come to protect Liu Zheng in a short time.

"Liu Zhang in Yizhou has more than enough defense and not enough offense. He can still defend the one-acre three-point land Liu Yan left him, but if he wants to send troops to attack us, he really thinks too much, so don't pay too much attention to it. .”

Liu Zheng didn't care much about Liu Zhang. It wasn't that Liu Zheng looked down on Liu Zhang, but let alone Liu Zhang, even Zhuge Liang, who was famous in history, would not be able to make big waves with the help of the state of Yizhou.
