Of course, these things happened in Jingzhou, not Jiaozhou. Liu Zheng, who was far away in Jiaozhou, was not clear at this time.

He is still preparing how to deal with Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu's coalition forces.

At this time, Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying had successfully assembled their troops, a total of [-] troops, and they had gradually begun to appear outside Hepu City.

After only one month, the offensive and defensive sides have changed players.

A month ago, Liu Zheng attacked Zhu Fu's Hepu City here, but only a month later, Liu Zheng became in Hepu City, and Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying's men came to attack him.

Liu Zheng is not afraid of siege battles, so how can he be afraid of defensive battles.

After these days, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses continued to expand, and now Liu Zheng also has four battalions of soldiers and horses.

Although the main force is only Xu Huang's first battalion with 8000 men, Huang Zhong's second battalion with 1 men, and the remaining Gan Ning and Zhou Cang with 1 men, they are all new recruits and have only trained for more than a month .

Moreover, the soldiers and horses led by Gan Ning were stationed in Yulin County at this time and did not return to Hepu City.

At this time, Liu Zheng was in Hepu City, but there were actually only less than 3 soldiers and horses.But these [-] troops are more than enough to deal with the mere [-] troops under Zhufu's command. Even in a siege battle, Liu Zheng is very confident.

However, in order to reduce losses as much as possible and wipe out Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying's troops, Liu Zheng still did not act rashly. He waited until Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu led the troops to Hepu City, and the two sides faced each other again. Gradually dispatched his soldiers and horses to the four walls of Hepu City, wanting to have a big battle with their soldiers and horses here first, to consume the opponent's troops.

Outside Hepu City, a general with a long beard and wearing armor rode out from the army, holding a long knife in his hand, which looked extremely thick, as if it was powerful and martial arts.

The general walked out of the front and glanced at Liu Zheng on the tower.

After a while, he shouted at the tower.

"The dog thief Liu Zheng, hurry out of the city and die!"

The man's voice was loud, and it was heard directly from the bottom of the city to the top of the city tower. Liu Zheng could not help but feel that the general in front of him had a really loud voice.

Liu Zheng sized up the general in front of him.

Then a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency must be Yangzhou Mu Liuyou's general Zhang Ying. You don't want to stay in your Yangzhou well, but you came to Jiaozhou to stir up this troubled water. Do you think your life is too long?"

Liu Zheng didn't have a good impression of Zhang Ying at all, and this guy was aggressive when he came up, which made Liu Zheng lose interest in him.

"You bastards are rebels from the imperial court. As the Great Han Heavenly Army, I shall clean up all of you rebels!"

"Stop talking nonsense, and fight into the city if you have the ability. The young master will let you see how good I am."

Liu Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he dismissed him with a few words.

Zhang Ying held a big sword, but did not attack. After showing off his might under Liu Zhengcheng, he quietly returned to his big tent.

Not long after Zhang Ying returned to the big tent, Zhu Fu and other generals also came to the big tent.

"General Zhang Ying, it's impossible for Liu Zheng's tricks to be tricked out of the city to fight us by our aggressive tactics. It seems that we have to find another way to deal with him!"

Zhu Fu immediately said something to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying's face was solemn. Although there were 5 people on their side, they were facing Liu Zheng in the city.Zhang Ying was actually not very sure.

"My lord, I have a plan, it may work!"

As Zhu Fu's counselor, Yu Bao immediately said something at this moment, making everyone present look at Yu Bao.

Chapter 231 Yu Bao's plan

Everyone looked at Yu Bao, and Zhu Fu was also very curious about what plans Yu Bao would have.

Dang even asked Yu Bao a question.

"What can you do, tell me quickly"

Yu Bao didn't pause for anything. This is the time when everyone is brainstorming how to deal with people like Liu Zheng.

"My lords, when we were in Hepu City, Liu Zheng used troops to besiege the city, but instead of attacking, he turned to deal with other places. Why can't we follow his example?"

"Imitate him?"

Yu Bao first said something briefly, but Zhu Fu didn't quite understand what Yu Bao meant by what he said.

The others, of course, didn't understand even more, and they all looked at Yu Bao in bewilderment.

Yu Bao had no choice but to explain again.

"My lord, look, didn't we send a lot of spies to inquire about the deployment of Liu Zheng's troops? Liu Zheng has a total of nearly [-] troops in Jiaozhou, some of them are in Yulin County, and some of them are still in Cangzhou. Wu County, the people in Hepu County are only half of them."

"Well, yes, even if it's only half of the troops, it's not easy for us to fight into the city, and we have to guard against Liu Zheng."

"Yeah, we don't have to fight Liu Zheng here, we just need to follow Liu Zheng's example and deliberately act suspiciously outside Hepu City, pretending that there are [-] troops sitting on the outskirts of Hepu City , In fact, send half of them to attack Liu Zheng's troops in other places, first reduce Liu Zheng's party members, and finally come to clean up Liu Zheng's main force in Hepu City."

Yu Bao shared his thoughts with Zhu Fu, Zhang Ying and others, which immediately caught Zhu Fu's eyes.

"Yes, why didn't I think that Liu Zheng can use this plan to deal with us, why can't we use the same method to deal with him!"

"It's just that, although this method is feasible, how can we make Liu Zheng think that our people haven't left here, so that he won't see through our plan?"

Zhu Fu is not a fool, although he knows that Yu Bao's plan is feasible, but if it is really implemented, it will not be so easy.

One is that the soldiers and horses outside Hepu City cannot leave too much.

Once there are too many people leaving, Liu Zheng will definitely be suspicious when he sees something strange. With Liu Zheng's cunning, if he goes out of the city to fight, Zhu Fu's side will not be able to take advantage of it.

At the same time, the troops dispatched to deal with Liu Zheng's other soldiers may not be able to win. It seems that this plan is still very difficult to implement.

Yu Bao seemed to have thought about these questions, and when Zhu Fu asked, he quickly continued.

"My lord, it is actually very simple to prevent Liu Zheng from discovering the change of our manpower here. We set up camp here, deliberately setting up a camp of [-] troops. We only need to send half of our troops, and the other half will be carried in the camp, the distance is too far. Then Liu Zheng may not know that our troops have left from here."

"If it doesn't work, we can go to the nearby counties to arrest some people to serve as soldiers. If there are enough people, Liu Zheng in the city will not suspect anything. The only thing we need to worry about is that our people, even if they are going to deal with Liu Zheng's henchmen , whether we can win."

Yu Bao wasn't worried about things here in Hepu City. What he was worried about was whether the people who went to Cangwu County and Yulin County could defeat Liu Zheng's troops left there with one blow.

After all, Yulin County and Cangwu County also have nearly [-] soldiers and horses, but Zhu Fu needs to send at least [-] soldiers and horses to be sure.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses accounted for more than half of Zhu Fu and Zhang Yingjun outside Hepu City.

"If you put it that way, there is really no problem with Hepu City, but it is a problem to defeat the remnants of Liu Zheng's army in Yulin County and Cangwu County."

"What's so difficult about this? I have [-] elite soldiers. It may not be possible to deal with Liu Zheng's people in Hepu City, but it is still more than enough to deal with [-] remnants. To deal with Liu Zheng's remnants in Yulin County and Cangwu County Give it to me!"

While Zhu Fu and Yu Bao were still discussing, Zhang Ying, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately said something to Zhu Fu, Yu Bao and others.

Zhang Ying had never fought Liu Zheng before, so he didn't know how powerful Liu Zheng was. He only heard about Liu Zheng from Zhu Fu and others.

Although he did not underestimate the enemy and Liu Zheng, when he thought that the enemy army only had more than 3 troops, he had [-] elite soldiers. There are more than [-] soldiers and horses fighting in the area. If it is not enough, then you will laugh your ass off.

So Zhang Yinghe stood up readily and took over the task of dealing with Gan Ning and Huang Zhong.

Zhu Fu, Yu Bao and others turned their heads to look at Zhang Ying.

This time, the soldiers and horses to deal with Liu Zheng are mainly Zhang Ying. Although there are 2 people in Zhu Fu, the morale of these 2 people is seriously depleted. fighting.

It is in line with their expectations that Zhang Ying will make a move like this.

So after Zhang Ying stepped forward, Zhu Fu and Yu Bao didn't even think about it, and agreed immediately.

"Okay, with General Zhang Ying on the way, we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Zheng's remnants in one fell swoop. When the time comes, we will lead our troops to Hepu City to meet up, and we will be able to take Hepu County successfully. future trouble!"

After Zhu Fu heard Zhang Ying's words, he immediately agreed and gave Zhang Ying a word of encouragement, which made Zhang Ying more and more confident.

With Yu Bao's plan, everyone present also had a way to deal with Liu Zheng, and immediately they all started to take action.

For the next two days, Zhang Ying's men did not leave, but sent people to Hepu City every day as Yu Bao had imagined.

At first Zhang Ying would show her face, but Zhang Ying stopped after two or three days.

Calling the battle is not to attack the city, but to curse outside the city, and then wait until night falls, then withdraw the army.

Liu Zheng and the others felt a little fresh in the first two days on the city tower, but after Zhu Fu and others under the city did not attack the city, they felt that there was nothing to worry about. If the army doesn't attack the city, Liu Zheng is willing to spend it like this.

Because Liu Zheng is also looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity, let Shi Xie's son Shi Hui take action, and kill Zhang Ying, Zhu Fu and others in one fell swoop.

Chapter 232

Within a few days, the people disguised as an army recruited by Yu Bao began to gradually replace Zhang Ying's troops outside Hepu City.

At this time, Zhang Ying also took his own people and left outside Hepu City one after another. All this was done without anyone noticing, so that Liu Zheng's people in the city really didn't find any clues.

On Liu Zheng's side, although he was also curious about how Zhu Fu and the others outside the city would deal with him, there was no news, and he did not act rashly.

After waiting for a few days and seeing that the Zhu Fu outside the city hadn't changed at all, Liu Zheng sent the spies who had stayed outside the city to contact the Shi Hui and Shi Wu in the Zhu Fu army.

Let them get in touch with Shi Hui, and inquire about the disappearance of Zhu Fu and others.

Using the method of transmission that Liu Zheng taught at the beginning, Liu Zheng in the city, through his own spies, finally knew what Zhu Fu and the others were secretly planning outside the city. ,

Although Shi Wu and others were not Zhu Fu's cronies, they only lived under Zhu Fu's command temporarily, but some soldiers and horses in Zhu Fu's barracks were mobilized, and Shi Wu and Shi Hui could generally know.

In addition, the two of them had been told by Shi Xie a long time ago that they should pay close attention to the movements under Zhu Fu's command, so the transfer of soldiers and horses in Zhu Fu's barracks did not escape the eyes of the two of them.

After passing these news to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng just smiled faintly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When Zhu Fu actually wanted to use his own method to deal with Liu Zheng, what else could Liu Zheng do besides laughing .

"This Zhu Fu really has no brains. If he wants to use my method to deal with me, even if I am fooled, does he think that with his troops, he wants to defeat the two generals Huang Zhong and Gan Ning?"

"Take ten thousand steps back, even if they can defeat Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, they will definitely lose a lot of troops in the end, and there will be no chance to fight our main force again."

Liu Zheng shook his head, expressing his contempt for the plan of Zhu Fu and others.

At the same time, Xu Huang, who knew the news, was a little worried, and hurriedly asked Liu Zheng.

"My lord, after all, Zhang Ying has [-] soldiers under his command. If they really fight against those under General Gan Ning, those recruits under General Gan Ning may not be his opponents."

"Are we going to take advantage of the present?"

Xu Huang still had some worries about Gan Ning, but he didn't have to worry about Huang Zhong. After all, Huang Zhong's men were basically veterans, and Huang Zhong showed his strength in the battle at Wuyangling.

But Gan Ning is different. After all, Gan Ning is still very young, and he doesn't have much experience in big scenes. In addition, the soldiers and horses under his command are all newcomers who have just trained for a month or two. One's own soldiers and horses may suffer losses even in defense.

Liu Zheng knew what Xu Huang was worried about, but at this time Liu Zheng was not worried at all.

"Don't worry, let our spies follow up to see whether Zhang Ying's men are going to attack Yulin County or Cangwu County first. After we confirm his whereabouts, we will go out of the city and defeat Zhu Fu in one fell swoop! "

Xu Huang's worry was not unfounded for Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng had confidence in Gan Ning. Even if Zhang Ying's troops were heading for Gan Ning, Liu Zheng also believed that Gan Ning would be able to stop Zhang Ying. Give Liu Zheng some time, after Zhu Fu is eliminated.Raise troops to help again, when the time comes to block Zhang Ying's road, so that Zhang Ying has nowhere to escape.

In this way, Liu Zheng knew that Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying outside the city had taken action, but he still didn't do it immediately. Instead, he waited here for another day, waiting for the news from the spies that Zhang Ying had already rushed to Yu Lin It was only when he left the county that he decided to do something.

If the spies hadn't told Liu Zheng that Zhang Ying's troops were heading for Yulin County, Liu Zheng might have to wait two more days. With the terrifying strength of Zhong's [-] soldiers and horses, even if Zhang Ying attacked for ten days and half a month, he might not be able to take down Cangwu City.

But Zhang Ying chose to go to Yulin County, which made Liu Zheng also a little worried. Although he had confidence in Gan Ning, Gan Ning was still young after all. Just like what Xu Huang said, he had never experienced such a thing. If there is a big war, it would not be worthwhile to put your own life in it, not to mention the loss of soldiers, so Liu Zheng still needs to make some back-up preparations.

Rush to the rescue in times of crisis.

After deciding to do something, Liu Zheng sent someone to contact Shi Hui directly. Shi Xie's son and younger brother are smart people, and they knew that only by relying on Liu Zheng at this time could they survive.

News came to Liu Zheng soon, and the two sides agreed that at noon tonight, Liu Zheng's troops would quietly leave the city from the west gate, where Zhu Fu's defense was weak, and head straight to Zhu Fu's camp.

There are only more than 2 people Zhu Fu left in Hepu City. Although there are still more than 2 people, those people can't be used as fighting power at all. It's enough to kill the battalion.

Night fell quickly.

As the night began to diffuse, the starry sky showed a peaceful color. Outside Hepu City, among Zhu Fu's army, the lights were still brightly lit. At the camp, there would be a pile of bonfires every few meters, illuminating the atmosphere. nearby camp.

As for the west city gate, Zhu Fu only sent 3000 people to station. Although there were people on night shift among the 3000 people, there were already more than 100 spies on Liu Zheng's side. The black clothes quietly touched the soldiers on duty.

Quietly, several teams on night shift were killed, and the west gate opened, and Liu Zheng's troops gradually came out from inside, but they didn't show much movement.

He just dispatched [-] elites to go out from the west gate and go straight to Zhu Fu's camp at the south gate.

When the appointed time came, Liu Zheng personally took charge of the south gate, opened the gate, and led [-] troops directly from the south gate to kill the city.

The city gate opened suddenly, and Zhu Fu, who had been at peace for a few days, was shocked immediately.

He had already gone to bed at this time, and was resting, but suddenly heard the shouts of killing from outside, woke up immediately, and then shouted loudly towards the outside of the big tent.

"Someone! Somebody!"

Outside the big tent, two guards came rushing over.

"grown ups!"

"What happened outside?"

Although Zhu Fu had thought of something in his heart, he hadn't seen the situation outside, so he was just guessing.

"My lord, it's too bad, Liu Zheng's people have come out of Hepu City!"
