The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

When Sun Jian was vigilant and wanted to retreat, Liu Zheng found an opportunity.

Seeing Sun Jian turn around, Liu Zheng threw the spear in his hand that was split into two sections by Sun Jian, and the short spear with an iron tip on that section, and threw it at Sun Jian's back.

Although it is embarrassing for a general to do such things as sniping, but Liu Zheng was injured because of Cao Cao's slanting.

Therefore, after the battle with Cao Cao, Liu Zheng didn't feel ashamed at all about making cold shots.

Besides, between life and death, in order to win, don't mention whether to let go of the cold arrow, even if it is assassination or poisoning, Liu Zheng will be willing to do it.

The short spear flew away, just in the blind spot of Sun Jian's vision. Sun Jian turned around, but he didn't see Liu Zheng's short spear coming at all.

In addition, Liu Zheng was quite close to Sun Jian's position, so he didn't need any aim at all, and pierced the broken spear into Sun Jian's back with one blow.

With a puff, the short spear broke through Sun Jian's soft armor and pierced into Sun Jian's burly body.

Sun Jian just snorted coldly, resisting the severe pain from his back, and walked away.

"Lord!"

Seeing Cheng Pu who was injured by Sun Jian not far away, he was shocked and hurried over to deal with it.

Sun Jian was injured by Liu Zheng, and he was unable to continue fighting and began to retreat. Seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately yelled loudly.

"The commander-in-chief of the army was injured and retreated. It's time for the brothers to fight back. Go!"

Although it was only Sun Jian who was injured, and the officers and soldiers hadn't revealed the slightest sign of defeat at this time, Liu Zheng still seized the opportunity and immediately began to encourage the Yellow Turban Army loudly.

Only in this way can the morale of the Yellow Turban Army be boosted, and the Yellow Turban Army's rout can be curbed, and those Yellow Turban Army who have lost hope and have no will to fight will give birth to some survivors.

At the same time, Liu Zheng shouted this to let the officers and soldiers around him understand that their commander was injured, which lowered the morale of their officers and soldiers and made them unwilling to fight.

Liu Zheng's cry was still very effective. Those Yellow Turban soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit gradually found hope of survival at this time. As long as they defeated these officers and soldiers, they would be able to survive.

None of them were fleeing, and began to gather towards Liu Zheng and the others, joining the ranks of fighting against the official army.

On the other hand, because of Sun Jian and other commanders, the officers and soldiers gradually withdrew from the core battlefield in order to protect Sun Jian. Those soldiers who rushed to the front were stopped by Liu Zheng's men and killed many of them.

In addition, the most dependent cavalry troops on the official side were all beheaded and intercepted by Liu Zheng's cavalry, which could no longer form an effective impact on the battlefield.

The official army also began to gradually become exhausted, unable to rely on elite troops to gain an absolute advantage.

After all, there are only a few officers and soldiers, only seven to eight thousand people, and they have gone through a battle with Liu Pi.Although the loss of 8000 people is not much, but at this time, there are only 8000 people left.

And the soldiers and horses led by Liu Zheng plus the Liu Pijun left over from before, there are still more than 1 people.

Twice the number of officers and soldiers is enough to make these officers and soldiers start to retreat.

Because of the reversal of the situation on the Yellow Turban Army's side, when they start to gain an advantage, the combat power that can be erupted will be quite terrifying.The fierce anti-killing began soon, and Liu Zheng, Xu Huang, and Pei Yuanshao rushed forward hand in hand, which greatly improved the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

Not long after, these officers and troops retreated directly, and 5000 soldiers began to flee, and a large number of troops retreated.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but directly led a surprise attack and ran out from the road he rushed out at this time.

"Stop chasing everyone, follow me to break through!"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were far away from them, Liu Zheng took all the horses and only the remaining cavalry and fled quickly from the east gate.

He didn't think his small force could defeat the officers and soldiers in front of him.The reason why he was able to win was nothing but luck.

If they pursued them, it would be another hard fight when Sun Jian reacted. In addition, there was still Huangfusong at the north city gate, and a large number of officers and soldiers were waiting. There is no way to escape.

With the cavalry opening the way, Liu Zheng and others fled eastward all the way. After running for half a day, they stopped to rest after realizing that there were no pursuers behind.

When Liu Zheng really ran out with his soldiers and horses, and was sure that he had escaped from the hands of a large number of officers and soldiers, he was relieved.

"Successful, haha, we successfully escaped from Runan City!"

It wasn't until this time that Liu Zheng and the others had the time to count the troops under his command and see how many people he had lost in this battle.

But after counting, he discovered that the number of people under his command increased rather than decreased during the escape from Runan City.

Obviously, when he left the city at the beginning, there were only 5000 people under his command, but now he counted the number of people, and found that there would be more than 7000 people at this time.

Most of this group of people were soldiers and horses under Liu Pi's command before. After Liu Pi broke through and escaped, he had more than 2 to nearly 3 horses under his command.

A large part ran away, and some were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, but when Liu Zheng led people out, there were still many on the battlefield.

This group of people all gathered around Liu Zheng because they saw Liu Zheng fighting against the official army. At the same time, when Liu Zheng fled, they lost their minds for a while. They wanted to survive, so they all ran away with Liu Zheng, and now they naturally became Liu Zheng. Compete for the men and horses under his command.

Speaking of it, it was a blessing in disguise. Although more than 100 of his 30 cavalrymen lost more than 70 people, and only 300 were left at this time, he killed many cavalrymen under Sun Jian's command. Half of the more than [-] horses under Sun Jian's command were killed by yellow scarves. At this time, although the number of cavalry under his command has decreased, the number of horses has increased.

Chapter 26 Xu You Seeks to See You

Counting his own more than 100 war horses, he now has more than 200 war horses under his command. With a little training, he can form a cavalry with a larger number than before.

But Liu Zheng was not happy about it.

Because he understands a truth, shoot the first bird.Now as his strength is getting stronger and more soldiers and horses under his command, he is bound to attract more and more attention from the officers and soldiers.

And because of the large number of people, he can no longer hide his traces well, and it is easy to passively fall into the trap of the officers and soldiers. Now in the entire Runan County, Bo Cai must have no chance of surviving. Once the officers and soldiers kill Bo Cai , then it is time to wipe out their Yellow Turban remnants.

Although he escaped from Runan City, Liu Zheng was very preoccupied at this time, worried about how to take the next road.

"Brother Pei Yuanshao, thank you for your help on the battlefield before. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died under the sword of Sun Jian!"

After settling down, Liu Zheng was the first to think of Pei Yuanshao, and Liu Zheng was somewhat grateful for Pei Yuanshao.

At the same time, he also understood that Pei Yuanshao was one of the few strong men in the Yellow Turban Army. This guy's strength might not be much different from Zhou Cang's.

Therefore, Liu Zheng, who cherishes his talents, saw Pei Yuanshao at this time, and wanted to recruit him into his own ranks.

"Where did Shuai Liu Zhengqu say that if it wasn't for you, we would be dead. Without you to bring people to help, I'm afraid that all of us would die under the siege of the government and army. It is absolutely impossible to escape. Now we not only together Fleeing from Runan City, not many brothers were killed or injured."

"I, Pei Yuanshao, don't say anything else. From now on, I will follow Liu Zheng and Qushuai you. When Liu Pi is in danger, he only cares about running for his own life. Letting us end the heir is simply abandoning us in danger. This kind of Qushuai, It doesn't matter if you don't follow!"

Pei Yuanshao didn't have much culture, but he knew a truth, that is, loyalty. Although he belonged to Liu Pi, but Liu Pi directly abandoned them when he was between life and death, which made Pei Yuanshao quite critical.

And Liu Zheng himself wanted to recruit Pei Yuanshao. He knew that Pei Yuanshao's strength was good, not to mention that Liu Zheng himself knew Pei Yuanshao's strength. Just in the battle in Runan City just now, he could fight against Sun Jian alone. The Jiangdong Tigers fought hard for so many rounds.

It is enough to prove that Pei Yuanshao's strength is not bad, and he is a talent that Liu Zheng can win.

"Great, with Brother Pei Yuanshao joining you, our small team will be stronger, and it will not be so difficult to fight against the army. I think you are good at riding. In the future, my cavalry will consist of you and Xu Brother Akira, lead together!"

"What! These cavalry let me lead?"

When Pei Yuanshao heard Liu Zheng finished speaking, he was shocked.

Seeing that Pei Yuanshao was so excited, Liu Zheng thought he didn't have enough people for him. Pei Yuanshao quickly explained because he disliked the more than 70 cavalry under his command.

"Although there are only more than 70 cavalry now, we now have more than 200 horses. After a period of training, we can form a 200-man cavalry. Brother Pei Yuanshao, if you don't like it, you can get more horses in the future. I will definitely expand to 1000 people!"

"No, no, Shuai Qu, you misunderstood me. I was afraid that I would not be able to bear the burden. I am just an ordinary soldier. You suddenly asked me to be the commander of the cavalry. I was a little caught off guard! I was afraid that I would not be able to do it!"

At this time, Pei Yuanshao was not a very famous person in the Yellow Turban Army, but a soldier under Liu Pi's command. His status may be higher than that of Liu Zheng under Yang Feng. All the war horses were given to Pei Yuanshao.

"I believe in you. I have seen your strength. Pay attention to the position of commander, so don't belittle yourself!"

"OK then."

Liu Zheng insisted on making Pei Yuanshao his cavalry commander, so Pei Yuanshao did not continue to refuse.

"Qu Shuai, let go, I want to see Qu Shuai!"

At this time, a few noisy voices came from the side.

"what's up?"

After Liu Zheng heard this voice, he immediately asked a question. Beside Liu Zheng, a few soldiers who were responsible for protecting Liu Zheng's safety made way for the yelling person outside to come in.

This man was wearing a blue robe and a bun. He was not very old, but he was a little thin, and he didn't wear the clothes of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the crowd, it is quite conspicuous.

"It's you, Xu You!"

After Liu Zheng saw this person, he immediately felt surprised.

This person is none other than Xu You whom he had met in Bocai's tent before. Isn't Xu You a counselor under Liu Pi's tent? Why is he actually following in his team at this time.

"I'm quite surprised that Shuai Qu remembered me. It saved me the time to introduce myself."

When Xu You heard Liu Zheng say his name, he was also a little surprised, but he immediately smiled, which was very good for him.

"Of course I remember you. It was your proposal to divide the troops into four directions to attack the official army. If I hadn't known that He Yi was the one who betrayed the Yellow Turban, maybe I would have thought it was you who leaked the military plan!"

Liu Zheng didn't hide anything either. He did doubt Xu You at first, but after arriving at the East Gate, he found that there were only seven or eight thousand officers and soldiers here. Liu Zheng knew that the person who leaked the secret was not Xu You.

If it was really Xu You, there must be more than 8000 people at Dongchengmen.

"Qu Shuai has a good memory, and he still remembers the plan I proposed. However, if someone hadn't leaked the secret, my plan would certainly have dealt a big blow to the officers and soldiers. The outcome of the Battle of Runan City is yet to be known. Well, alas, who knows, people are not as good as heaven, and no one thought that He Yi would betray him!"

When Liu Zheng talked about the Battle of Runan City, Xu You was also quite disappointed. If this plan was really implemented according to his expectation, even if the official army was undefeated, the losses would definitely be heavy. It would certainly not be so easy to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

But now, this situation is not what Xu You wants to see.

"The Battle of Runan City has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, but I am curious, Mr. Xu You, why did you appear in my team, shouldn't you escape with that guy Liu Pi?"

"Hmph, do you think that guy Liu Pi will take care of me when he is running for his life? I'm not his relative, even if he is his brother, I'm afraid he will abandon him when he's running for his life. Instead, it's you who appeared. Surprised me."

Xu You snorted coldly, and responded to Liu Zheng.

Chapter 27 Troubleshooting

"My appearance?"

Liu Zheng's face darkened, not quite understanding what Xu You wanted to say.

"Once the defeat of Runan City is made public, the blow to the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be serious. Although it will not cause the Yellow Turban Army to recover from a setback, it will definitely bring the Yellow Turban Army to the end of the road. No matter what the Yellow Turban Army wants to make trouble It's difficult, but your appearance makes me a little bit confused."

"How to say?"

"You guys are different from other Yellow Turbans."

"Heh, what's the difference?"

Liu Zheng scoffed at Xu You's words.

"Other yellow turban thieves are nothing more than a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. It's okay to win a battle, but if you are at a disadvantage, you will definitely lose. But you are different. You can gather people's hearts at critical moments and let these yellow turban thieves drive you. You are better than other yellow turban thieves. He's so handsome."

"Let me say that Pocai is not as good as you."

When Xu You was in the east of Runan City, he saw the whole battle between Liu Zheng and Sun Jianjun.

He was quite surprised that Liu Zheng was able to defeat Sun Jian, and it was exactly the same. Xu You was already disappointed with the Yellow Turban Army, but at this time, he saw hope again.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu You to think of me so much. I didn't expect that."

"Although you are different from those yellow turban thieves, if you continue to escape with your own will, your final result will be defeat."

Xu You had just finished saying a word of admiration for Liu Zheng, and then poured a basin of cold water on Liu Zheng's head, which made Liu Zheng, who was a little flustered, immediately return to reality.

"how do I say this?"

"Hey, even though we escaped from the east gate and went one step ahead of the officers and soldiers, when the officers and soldiers at the north gate react, they will definitely send troops to chase after them. The pursuers will definitely not be infantry, but cavalry. If my predictions are correct, it should be Cao Mengde who brought his cavalry to pursue him."

"Commander Liu Zhengqu, although you have thousands of soldiers and horses under your command, what will happen once you are overtaken by Cao Mengde's cavalry?"

"If it's a frontal battle, with Liu Zhengqu's ability to command you, I guess you may not necessarily lose against Cao Cao's cavalry, but under the current situation, you are running around all the way, with nervous expressions and lack of energy. If Cao Jun's cavalry pursues, it will be overwhelming!"

After Xu You finished speaking, Liu Zheng's expression changed slightly.He also soon realized that what Xu You said was true.If you keep fleeing, as long as there are pursuers coming from behind.The morale of these soldiers and horses who have finally gathered together will be hit hard again, and then they will really be devastated.

But Liu Zheng wasn't desperate yet, he soon turned his attention to Xu You again.Then he asked Xu You with some respect.

"I know Mr. Xu You, there must be a way to crack it, please let me know."

"Although I do have a way to crack it, why should I tell him to handsome you?"

Liu Zheng smiled, knowing that Xu You was asking for favors from him.

"Mr. Xu You, you are not saving me, but yourself. If Cao Cao is really chasing you, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

Liu Zheng was not a person who would compromise easily. Although he had already guessed Xu You's intentions, he still did not directly agree to Xu You.

"Even if Cao Jun really came, Cao Mengde and I are old acquaintances, so he might not make things difficult for me!"

"Really, Mr. Xu You, you are with the traitor now. With Cao Mengde's temperament, even if you are an old acquaintance with him, he will treat you as a traitor."

Liu Zheng responded to Xu You with a smile. As soon as he said this sentence, Xu You was immediately speechless.

Can't refute Liu Zheng.

However, Liu Zheng did not continue to embarrass Xu You, but immediately gave Xu You a step down.

"Mr. Xu You, as long as you can help me tide over this difficulty, I will worship you as a military advisor. In the future, I, Liu Zhengfei, Huang Tengda, will definitely live up to you!"
