The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

But now I heard Liu Zheng confirm again that there are tens of thousands more soldiers and horses in Changsha City, which surprised Tai Shici. Thirty to forty thousand soldiers and seven to eighty thousand soldiers are not the same concept at all.

"Why are there suddenly so many people in Changsha City!"

"It should be that Liu Biao knew that we would attack Changsha County, so he dispatched troops from Nanjun to defend Changsha in advance."

"Changsha City now has so many soldiers and horses, it is far from what we can take down in a short time, so I have a decision now, which is to give up attacking Changsha County and directly attack Nanjun County. As long as we break through Xiangyang City and capture Liu Biao alive, Then the whole Jingzhou will be destroyed by itself."

Liu Zheng simply engaged Taishi Ciwen, Gan Ning and the three of them after describing their plan, and then directly said that the troops would divide into two groups to take Nanjun directly.

Since Changsha County is so tightly defended, it is not wise for Liu Zheng to continue to defend Changsha, so it may be a good choice to simply give up Changsha and lead people directly to Xiangyang City.

After all, according to his understanding of Jingzhou, Nanjun itself does not have many troops.Especially now that 1 to [-] soldiers and horses have been drawn to Changsha County, there are even fewer troops in South County.Taking Xiangyang City as a big city, there are at most [-] soldiers and horses in the city.

With 1 people defending Xiangyang City, Liu Zheng doesn't need too many soldiers and horses. He only needs 2 people to be sure to break through the gate of Xiangyang City.

By the time.Once Xiangyang City was broken and Liu Biao was captured alive by Liu Zheng, it would be useless even if Changsha continued to hold on.

Just do it.There is one thing to pay attention to, that is, once Liu Zheng is in Xiangyang City, he will not break through Xiangyang's defense in a short time.Instead, the battle was stalemate and the news of Liu Zheng's siege of Xiangyang spread to Changsha. The soldiers and horses of Changsha County rushed to help Xiangyang at all costs. At that time, Liu Zheng would be attacked by the enemy one after another. Horses are hard to stop.

That's why Liu Zheng decided to divide his troops into two groups, one group of soldiers and horses went to directly attack Xiangyang, and the other group of soldiers and horses continued to garrison Changsha and besieged Changsha.

Once Changsha is aware of the movement in Xiangyang City, these people who besieged Changsha will stop Changsha's soldiers and horses from going to Xiangyang to help at all costs.

The tasks on both sides are equally important. Liu Zheng needs to dispatch a battalion of soldiers and horses to Xiangyang among the troops of Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Wen Pin.

Use Zu Lang's water army to cross the Xiangjiang River, so that he can reach Xiangyang City in the shortest time. According to Liu Zheng's speculation, if it goes well, he can reach Xiangyang in two days, and then launch an attack at all costs. Within three days, the gate of Xiangyang City was broken.

As long as he can kill Xiangyang City by surprise, he must be able to take down Xiangyang City when Xiangyang City is unprepared.

"The situation is like this. Take a look, who is willing to follow me to Xiangyang?"

"My lord, the final general is willing to go!"

Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Wenpin spoke at the same time, expressing their willingness to accompany Liu Zheng to attack Xiangyang.

But all three of them spoke, and it was impossible for Liu Zheng to let them all pass by. After a moment of silence, Liu Zheng still spoke to Tai Shici.

"Let Ziyi accompany me this time. The soldiers under him are recruits who have only been training for a short time and need more training. However, Gan Ning and W Wenpin are all veterans under his command. They stayed in Changsha and besieged them. These reinforcements from Changsha have an even greater mission."

The three of Liu Zheng were not guilty, and after choosing Tai Shici to accompany him, he immediately comforted Gan Ning and Wenpin.

For Liu Zheng, attacking Xiangyang is indeed very important, but defending the reinforcements in Changsha is also not easy.

If it is Tai Shici's recruits, facing tens of thousands of enemy attacks, they may not be able to overcome their inner fear. It is better to let Gan Ning and Wenpin sit in Changsha, which makes Liu Zheng feel more at ease.

At least Liu Zheng believes that with Gan Ning and Wenpin around, it is not so easy for the troops of Changsha County to rush to help Xiangyang. There is no problem at all, as long as it can be delayed for a few days.

Liu Zheng attacked Xiangyang by force. If the attack could not be broken within seven days, Liu Zheng retreated by himself, and then returned to Changsha to intercept and kill those Changsha soldiers who came to rescue.

In this way, no matter what, it will be of great benefit to Liu Zheng. After all, there is no need to attack the city. Liu Zheng is not worried at all about encountering soldiers and horses in Changsha County in the wild. lose.

Even with twice as many people as his own, Liu Zheng is sure to win.

After Liu Zheng's decision was made, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Wen Pin had no objections, and after nodding, they agreed.

However, after discussing these matters, Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to directly lead Tai Shici's troops to kill Xiangyang, because before going to Xiangyang, Liu Zheng still needed to confuse his opponent and convince him that he planned to attack Changsha City with all his strength. of.

Only in this way can Liu Zheng's plan to attack Xiangyang succeed.

"Yuan Zhou, you should immediately send someone to send Zulang's navy to come here. In the past few days, although I will go outside Changsha City to call for battle, first make a tentative attack. Don't send too many troops to show up. Send [-] troops each time. Just do it."

Liu Zheng gave an order to the generals who were sitting down, and in the next few days, it was exactly as he said, and Gan Ning and Wenpin were asked to lead the main force and go to the city to call for battle.

However, what greeted the two of them were only some arrows, and the enemy troops in the city would not appear at all.

After waiting for two days, the reinforcements dispatched by Liu Zheng, Zu Lang's [-] sailors arrived near Changsha, and then Liu Zheng began to tell Tai Shici that he was ready to leave.

But before he left, Liu Zheng still wanted to confuse Cai Mao in the city. He took the initiative to replace Wen Pin and led [-] soldiers to the city of Changsha. Fighting in Changsha City.

Chapter 5 and Two

The [-] troops spread out in unison, and they were distributed around the outside of Changsha City. With the shouts, Liu Zheng led people to the city.

For the past two days, I have come over every day to call for battle at a fixed point. I am used to seeing the defenders upstairs in the city, and I don’t think there is anything. Tensions of the day.

"Cai Mao."

Liu Zheng pulled his throat and shouted towards the tower.

He knew that Cai Mao was upstairs. Although Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses did not attack the city in the past two days, they set up battles and looked like they were going to attack the city at any time. , must be on standby on the tower all the time, ready to welcome Liu Zheng's attack.

It's just that Liu Zheng didn't show up in the past two days, which made Cai Mao a little strange, but now that Liu Zheng finally appeared, Cai Mao on the tower relaxed some doubts.

When Liu Zheng called him loudly, Cai Mao also heard it from the tower, so he stood up quickly. ,

"Liu Zheng, you still have the face to see me, you heartless man!"

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng, Cai Mao became angry, and he couldn't help cursing out the depression in his heart when he saw Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng originally wanted to catch up with Cai Mao in this city, but Cai Mao scolded Liu Zheng as a heartless person as soon as he came up, which also made Liu Zheng stunned. He didn't know where this heartless person started.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid Cai Mao misunderstood him. After all, when Liu Zheng took Cai Yao away, he told Cai Yao that Cai Yao was his wife. I'm afraid Cai Mao always regarded him as his sister-in-law. .

"Cai Mao, you may have misunderstood some things. Your sister and I are innocent. There were some misunderstandings in the incident that day. In short, there is no relationship between us."

Liu Zheng tried to explain to Cai Mao the relationship between him and Cai Yao.

After all, Liu Zheng still doesn't know what happened after he was drunk that night. If he knew, he would definitely not say that.

"It doesn't matter? You have children, you tell me it doesn't matter?"

Cai Mao roared out angrily, he was completely unafraid at this time, and the people present heard the news.

If others knew that his sister was not married and had a child, they might be scolded, but for Cai Mao, he was not afraid of these, because he would kill anyone who dared to speak out.

He just wanted to let Liu Zheng, a heartless man, understand how hateful he is!

"What?"

As soon as Cai Hao said the words, he immediately threw one in front of Liu Zheng, which frightened Liu Zheng.

The expression on his face was obviously stunned. Looking at Cai Mao, he thought Cai Mao was farting.

"What kid, Cai Mao, are you kidding me?"

Even if there was, Liu Zheng at this time would certainly not admit to such a thing, but after he heard Cai Mao's words, he suddenly began to recall that drunken night two years ago.

Although Liu Zheng drank some fragments and didn't know much about what happened that day, he still remembered clearly the bright red that was left on the bed sheet in his room.

Although he didn't have any impression, the bloodstains would never be fake, so the reason why Liu Zheng went to Cai Yao frantically at the beginning was because he wanted to ask him face to face.

It's a pity that I haven't seen Cai Yao all this time. Now that I heard Cai Mao mention that Cai Yao even has a child, although Liu Zheng is somewhat skeptical, he also has some confidence.

"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't believe it, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten married directly, and even my sister would have disappeared. Very good, you heartless man, let's settle the old and new grudges together, come on, siege the city Ah, see if I kill you or not!"

At this time, Cai Hao was also very angry, instead of being angry, he smiled, and shouted at Liu Zheng with a smile.

Liu Zheng was disturbed by Cai Mao's words, and became more and more anxious about Cai Yao in his heart. Now after hearing Cai Mao's words, he didn't ask anything else, just asked one.

"Where is Cai Yao now?"

"Do you think I will tell you? You will never see my sister and your son again in your life!"

"son."

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes, and after hearing what Cai Mao said with such certainty, Liu Zheng couldn't help but believe what Cai Mao said.

"Gan Ning."

"The end is here."

"Lead people to attack and attack the city directly, but remember to do a good job of defense, fight casually, and then rest. Remember, you must come to harass Changsha City every day. I will set off for Xiangyang now."

Liu Zheng didn't want to talk to Cai Mao here, he directly ordered Gan Ning to start a feint attack, and he immediately took a boat to Xiangyang under the leadership of Zu Lang, Tai Shici and others.

From Changsha City to Xiangyang, if you take a boat, you can’t get there directly, even if you do, it’s not a straight line, so in order to hurry as fast as possible, Liu Zheng first took a boat directly down the Xiangjiang River, and then arrived at Dongting Lake. Entering the Yangtze River system, you can reach Jiangling County in a day's work.

Then log in from Jiangling County, go straight north, and attack Xiangyang.

From Jiangling to Xiangyang, it only takes two to three hundred miles, and it takes two days to get there.

At this time, Xiangyang City.

Cai House.

Cai Yao is still taking care of her children in the mansion. Since the news of Liu Zheng's wedding reached here a few months ago, Cai Yao seems to be a different person.

She was depressed all day long, originally there were two maidservants in the courtyard, but now she didn't even want the maidservants, and left herself alone, holding a child all day long.

The child is no longer the little doll who can only be held in his arms. Now he is almost two years old, and he can walk by himself. Although the walk is not smooth, but playing in the yard step by step is also a gift. This deserted courtyard has added a bit of life.

"Mom, look, there is a butterfly here."

The little baby yelled at Cai Yao in a childish voice.

"A-Dong, don't run away, come back to your mother quickly."

The little baby was gently called by Cai Yao, but she was very obedient and stopped chasing the butterfly, turned her head and walked towards Cai Yao's side.

But at this moment, the running little baby bumped into a person who had just appeared in the yard.

The little baby, after all, was only two years old. After being hit, not only did he not knock anyone down, but he fell back from the shock, fell to the ground, and began to cry.

The crying little baby, whose annoying crying immediately annoyed the person who was hit.

"Go away, you little bastard!"

The man cursed abruptly, and even wanted to stretch out his legs to kick the little doll.

After Cai Yao saw this scene, she immediately turned pale with shock and shouted.

"Second brother, don't!"

Chapter 5 and Three

The man's kick was stopped by Cai Yao, and he stayed in mid-air without kicking it out.

The man is naturally none other than Cai Yao's second brother, Cai Zhong.

Cai Zhong actually had some status in the Cai family. After all, besides Cai Mao, Cai Zhong and Cai He had relatively important positions in the Cai family.

A few years ago, the brothers of the Cai family were relatively harmonious. However, since Cai Mao sent troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army a few years ago, and was captured alive by Liu Zheng, Cai Zhong and Cai He fought for the head of the Cai family. unhappy.

Especially Cai Zhong wanted to replace Cai Mao as the head of the Cai family, but when Cai Mao said he wanted to use money to redeem people, Cai Zhong did not allow it. Originally, Cai Mao could not be released, so he naturally became the new head of the Cai family up.

It's a pity that Cai Yao used her own connections to go to Liu Zheng's place in exchange for Cai Mao's return, which ruined Cai Zhong's plan. Cai Zhong, who still has some status, has become like a useless person since then. In addition to some money in the Cai family, basically no one in the Cai family listens to him.

It seems that he is a redundant member of the Cai family.

But after all, Cai Mao didn't do anything about the brotherhood, he didn't drive Cai Zhong away, he just kept him as a useless person.

All of this was caused by Cai Yao, because if Cai Yao hadn't brought Cai Mao back, the position of Patriarch would have been his.

So Cai Zhong blamed Cai Yao for the reason why he became like this.

With Cai Mao at home, Cai Zhong couldn't do anything to Cai Yao. After all, Cai Yao was always Cai Mao's most beloved sister.

But now that Cai Mao is gone, although the Cai family is not the head of Cai Zhong.But his Cai Zhong's status in the Cai family is still here, so it's not a problem to bully Cai Yao.

Especially when he saw that Cai Yao had given birth to an evil seed at home in the past two years, and it was reported that this evil seed was Liu Zheng's child.

Cai Zhong looked down on Cai Yao even more.He often tries to make things difficult for Cai Yao, this time he just came to the courtyard to talk to Cai Yao, Liu Zheng got married recently, don't want the news of Cai Yao, who knows that he will be bumped by Liu Zheng's evil species as soon as he comes in.

When he saw the doll on the ground, he became angry when he thought that he was Liu Zheng's evil son, and wanted to step forward and kick him, to kill this little bastard.

It's a pity that Cai Yao scolded him at the critical moment.

"Little sister, why are you still keeping this bastard? Do you know what the father of this little bastard is doing now? He is leading an army to attack your elder brother's Changsha County!"

"He just wants to make things difficult for our Cai family!"

Cai Zhong glanced at Cai Yao, and then told Cai Yao the latest news about Liu Zheng.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted Cai Yao's attention, and Cai Yao hurriedly asked.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? What is Liu Zheng doing?"

Since the news of Liu Zheng's wedding reached Cai Mao's ears, Cai Mao had completely given up on Liu Zheng.

So these days Cai Mao hardly came to Cai Yao's place to tell Cai Yao the news about Liu Zheng. When Cai Yao wanted to know the news about Liu Zheng, she often relied on her subordinates to inquire.

Of course, occasionally Cai Zhong would come to Cai Yao to show off some news about Liu Zheng arrogantly, but the news that Cai Zhong knew was a long time later.

Just like Cai Zhong now knows that Cai Mao is defending Liu Zheng's attack in Changsha City.
