The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

But when he thought about it and heard Wu Anhong say that some officers and soldiers had detoured from Langya County and wanted him to surprise Donglai, Liu Zheng couldn't help becoming interested again.

"You said someone was going to surprise Donglai, what's going on?"

Liu Zheng's curiosity made Wu Anhong dare not neglect, and immediately told Liu Zheng the information he had.

"My lord, I also got this news from my younger brother. Our Wu'an village is near Langya County. When I went back to the village to meet my mother the day before yesterday, I heard from the villagers that some officers and soldiers were gathering in Langya. It seems possible to attack Donglai from Langya."

"Langya County is adjacent to Donglai County. The two places are actually not far away. Bypassing Beihai County, we can directly attack Donglai."

Wu Anhong's explanation immediately made Liu Zheng understand the location of Langya County, and Liu Zheng naturally knew it. It was just below Donglai County. When they came by boat, they also had to pass the coastline belonging to Langya County.

However, Langya County belongs to Xuzhou. Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it before. Now it seems that Liu Bei and others have been prepared. Dongnae.

As long as Donglai is attacked by surprise, there will only be an isolated city left in Beihai. At that time, it will really be called "every day should not be done", and the land will not work. It will only wait to be besieged and killed by Liu Bei's army.

"This matter is very important, Wu Anhong, you take me there immediately to have a look."

Liu Zheng is not worried about the Beihai matter for the time being, because he already knows that Liu Bei and others are not in a hurry to attack the city, and the two sides seem to have formed a confrontation, but the situation in Donglai makes Liu Zheng very nervous.

Once there are really officers and soldiers coming from Langya, then Liu Zheng really needs to deal with these talents first.

Otherwise, it would be really bad if he went to Beihai rashly and was cut off by these people.

"Yes, my lord, I will let Brother She take you to our village."

"Your brother?"

Wu Anhong nodded, then turned around respectfully, and waved towards the distance. After seeing it, a burly man trotted all the way and appeared in front of Liu Zheng.

"My lord, this is my younger brother, Wu Anguo."

"Second brother, come and meet the lord."

Wu Anhong first introduced the strong man beside him to Liu Zheng, and at the same time introduced Liu Zheng to the younger brother next to him.

Liu Zheng didn't pay attention at first, but when Wu Anhong introduced his brother's name, he was taken aback.

"You said your brother's name is Wu Anguo?"

Chapter 573 A Surprise Attack on Donglai

"Well, my lord doesn't know, our family name is Wu An, and we are descendants of Bai Qi, Lord Wu An of the previous dynasty. Since our ancestor Bai Qi has been living in seclusion in Donglai, there are now more than a thousand people in the village."

Of course Liu Zheng knew that Wu Anguo's surname was Wu An. Not only did he know this, but he also knew that Wu Anguo was a very powerful general.

After all, Wu Anguo was the strongest general under Beihai prefect Kong Rong in history.

Not only is his force value comparable to Guan Hai, the number one general of the Yellow Turban Army, but he was not beheaded by Lu Bu in a fight with Lu Bu, only an arm was broken.

Among the many heroes and generals of the Three Kingdoms, this kind of strength can definitely be regarded as formidable.

After all, not everyone can hold out under Lu Bu for a while.

No one dared to shout when Lu Bu was alive, but after Lu Bu died.Anyone in the Three Kingdoms dares to stand up and say that he can be compared with Lu Bu.

But those people have never really fought against Lu Bu, and they don't know Lu Bu's strength.There are only a handful of people like Wu Anguo who fought against Lu Bu in history and survived Lu Bu's attack without being beheaded.

"I should have thought of that!"

Liu Zheng had some belated awareness. He knew about Wu Anhong last time, but Liu Zheng didn't care about it at the time. After all, the surname Wu An seemed to be the only one in the Three Kingdoms period.

If Liu Zheng had asked at that time, Wu Anguo might have already taken refuge in him.But it's not too late to know now, at least Wu Anguo has already belonged to him, he only needs to reuse Wu Anguo to promote a good general in history.

"Ah? What should have been thought of earlier?"

When Wu Anhong heard what Liu Zheng said to himself, he was slightly taken aback, thinking that Liu Zheng was talking about him.

Liu Zheng came back to his senses and immediately interrupted Wu Anhong's question.

"It's okay, is this your younger brother Wu Anguo? He is indeed a good-looking talent. Just looking at his body, you can tell that his martial arts skills are extraordinary!"

Liu Zheng hurriedly changed the subject and praised Wu Anguo.

When Wu Anguo heard that he was praised by the lord, he immediately smiled, showing a somewhat simple and honest expression.

"My second younger brother is really good at martial arts. I wanted to recommend it to the lord, but I never had a chance. This time, the lord came to Qingzhou in person. It is also an opportunity. I can let the lord take a look at my younger brother to see if he is good at it. A piece of material, if the lord thinks it is worthy of use, he will bring it with him to hone it."

"Okay, no problem. I think your brother likes it quite a lot. Let him stay with me first. I will let him serve as the head of the village under Tai Shici. First, he will hone his skills for a few days. With heavy responsibility!"

Liu Zheng naturally knows the strength of Wu Anguo. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to be a general under him. Guo Guo went directly to Tai Shici's subordinates to report, and it was not very good. After all, Tai Shici was leading people to attack Huainan at this time, and he was not in Qingzhou.

Although Liu Zheng is a meritocracy, he will also distinguish between priorities.Without any credit, give him the rank of senior general.That would inevitably make others feel that Liu Zheng is nepotism.

As long as you have a good relationship with Liu Zheng, even if you don't have the slightest credit, you can still stand in a high position under Liu Zheng.

In order to prevent others from having such thoughts, Liu Zheng asked Wu Anguo to work hard. At the same time, it is also a good thing to let Wu Anguo, a newcomer to his subordinates, who is not well-known, go out to hone his skills. , At the same time, it can also allow them to gain experience, so that they don't have any experience when they are in high positions, and their virtues are not worthy.

Just like when Tai Shici newly joined Liu Zheng's subordinates, he also started as a small village chief under Huang Zhong's subordinates, and stepped up to the position of commander of a battalion step by step.

"Thank you, my lord."

Although Liu Zheng said that Wu Anguo would only be a small village chief, but the village chief was also the lowest-ranking general under Liu Zheng, so he was considered a general anyway.

Many people are not able to become generals, and it is rare for Wu Anguo to be able to get the position of a village chief under Liu Zheng just by relying on Wu Anhong's recommendation.

For this result, Wu Anhong is naturally very satisfied.

And Wu Anguo, who was standing aside, was not excited when he heard that he had become the head of the village so soon. The smile on his face became brighter, and he immediately expressed his gratitude to Liu Zheng respectfully.

Liu Zheng didn't bother with such trivial matters either. After saying a few words casually, he asked Wu Anguo to lead his troops to Wu'an Village, and at the same time, inspect the officers and soldiers who came from Langya County.

Because of the emergency, Liu Zheng didn't stay at the pier at all, and ordered Zhou Tai to leave half of his troops stationed at the pier, while the rest went with him to the junction of Donglai County and Langya County.

Along with Liu Zheng this time, in addition to his personal soldiers, there are also Lu Bu, who he had just recruited in Jingzhou, and more than 500 camps behind Gao Shun.

Newly joined Liu Zheng's subordinates in the trapped camp, and stayed in Jingzhou to let them fight Ding Yuan?Naturally, it was impossible, as that would only add to the situation in Jingzhou, so Liu Zheng brought them to Qingzhou, which could prove the power of being trapped in the camp.

Because of the lack of ships, Wenpin's men are still on the way, and Zhou Tai needs to lead the fleet back to pick up Wenpin's people. Taking advantage of this time, Liu Zheng can bring Zhou Tai's 5000 people and 2000 people. There are many relatives, and there are two subordinate camps, let's go to the vicinity of Langya County to take a look.

Let's see who the officers and soldiers from Langya County are.

Counties.

This is the geographical scope of Langya County, bordering Donglai County.

The village where the Wu'an family lives is located in a forest not far from these counties and Donglai County.

The Wu'an family is not a big family here, but a small village living in seclusion in the mountains. Although there are more than 2000 people in the family, there are not many people with the surname Wu'an, only about [-] people, and the others are people with other surnames , but in the village, people from the Wu'an family are more prestigious, so the name of the village is also called Wu'an Village.

When Liu Zheng led his troops here, he broke the tranquility of this peaceful village.

Wu Anguo first introduced Liu Zheng to the village, and then called the Wu'an family member who had detected the gathering of imperial soldiers and horses in various counties, and asked him to report to Liu Zheng.

After some descriptions, Liu Zheng finally understood that the person gathered in Langya was Tao Qian.

Tao Qian is the governor of Xuzhou, and this Langya County belongs to Xuzhou. Liu Bei and Cao Cao are in Beihai, so it is not surprising that Tao Qian's troops appeared in Langya County.

Chapter 574 Mi Fang's Report

Just when Liu Zhengcai had just brought people to Wu'an Village, intending to get to know the people gathered in the counties, Mi Zhu also sent someone to pass the news to him.

The Mi family was originally in Xuzhou, and in Xuzhou, the power of the land is considered large. Although they are mainly engaged in business, their business covers a wide area. If there is any trouble in Xuzhou, they will be able to receive it as soon as possible.

When Xuzhou's troops gathered in the counties, Mi Zhu naturally knew about these things. At the same time, he knew that Xuzhou's troops seemed to intend to attack Donglai, and Donglai happened to have a trade transfer station for Liu Zheng.

Mi Fang, who is in charge of the entire route, is often stationed here, so Mi Fang was worried that the people in Xuzhou would be detrimental to Liu Zheng's transfer station, so she hurried to report the news to Liu Zheng.

Because the military dynamics on Xuzhou's side began to gather in the past two days, when Mi Fang got the news, she hurried to the transfer station to report to Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng had just arrived in Wu'an Village, Mi Fang also chased after him and saw Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's attitude towards Mi Fang is actually not particularly good. This guy has historically abandoned his family to seek refuge in Wu.

Leading to a series of subsequent things, in the final analysis, it is still greedy for life and afraid of death.

But for now, Liu Zheng doesn't particularly hate Mi Fang, at least so far he hasn't done anything that can make Liu Zheng feel that he is useless.

It doesn't matter if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as you don't put him in a military position and let him manage the caravan, it's fine.

After seeing Liu Zheng, Mi Fang's first thought was to immediately report to Liu Zheng about the military mobilization in Xuzhou.

"My lord, something is wrong! Our spies in Xuzhou got the news that Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is secretly mobilizing troops, intending to surprise Donglai County and cut off the retreat of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou!"

Mi Fang kept the long story short and said the main things first.

However, Liu Zheng didn't take it seriously, because he had already returned the news.

"I already know about this, Mi Fang, tell me what you know. How many troops are there in the counties? Who is the leader?"

Compared with the information obtained by these people in Wu'an Village, Mi Fang knew much more details than them.

At least Mi Fang even knew who the leading figure Tao Qian gathered in the counties this time was and how many troops he led.

When Liu Zheng asked, he immediately began to answer him.

"My lord, my spies told me that the leader of the army is Tao Qian's general Cao Bao, and the coordinator is Langya prefect Zhao Yu."

"Cao Bao led Tao Qian's [-] troops to the counties, and Zhao Yu's [-] soldiers."

Mi Fang is also from Xuzhou anyway, and his spies are all over Xuzhou, some of these news can be obtained easily.

"Cao Bao, Zhao Yu."

When Liu Zheng heard the names of these two people from Mi Fang, he wasn't too worried. As long as it wasn't Liu Guanzhang and Cao Cao's men, in fact, Liu Zheng didn't care much about other people. After all, Tao Qian was under his command. There is no talent that can be used.

And this Cao Bao, Liu Zheng also has an impression.

In history, he was originally Tao Qian's subordinate. Later, after Liu Bei became Xuzhou Mu, he became Liu Bei's subordinate, but this guy later betrayed Liu Bei and voted for Lu Bu.He also married his daughter to Lu Bu.

However, this kind of repeated person did not end well after all. Liu Zheng remembered that he died in Zhang Fei's hands.

At this time, when he heard Mi Fang say that this guy led 2 people to station in various counties and planned to surprise Donglai, Liu Zheng actually had some doubts about whether he had the ability.

As for the Langya prefect Zhao Yu that Mi Fang mentioned, Liu Zheng has never heard of it. It may be that he was not well-known during the Three Kingdoms period, so Liu Zheng didn't remember such a number one person.

But to be able to get into the position of prefect, he must have some confidence, otherwise he would not have been sent by Tao Qian to attack Donglai together with Cao Bao.

"There are only [-] troops in the area, and they want to surprise Donglai. It seems that Tao Qian is still a little careless."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but say, before Liu Zheng and his group arrived, perhaps Tao Qian's 2-odd soldiers and horses would make a surprise attack on Donglai. After all, Zhang Ning himself only had 6 or 1 people, and four of them were in Beihai County. Fifty thousand, the number of people staying in Donglai is only a mere [-].

The 1 people are scattered in various counties of Donglai County. If they are not gathered together, Tao Qian's [-] people can easily defeat them one by one. As long as the main town of Donglai is occupied in a short time, Then go back to surround Beihai County.

At that time, Zhang Ning and others who stayed in Beihai County will have to wait for death, or surrender.

But now, since Liu Zheng knew the news, although Liu Zheng only brought less than 8000 people here.

But to deal with these troops under Cao Bao, 8000 people are enough.

"My lord, don't be careless. Although the opponent has only [-] men, we only have a few thousand soldiers now. If we fight head-on, we won't have an advantage."

Standing beside Liu Zheng, Dian Wei stood up and warned Liu Zheng when he heard Liu Zheng belittle his opponent.

Liu Zheng glanced at Dian Wei and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, Dian Wei, Cao Bao, I don't pay attention to it. You immediately send people to find out the news. I want to know where Cao Bao from the counties will come from, and then set up an ambush on the road to defeat Cao Bao directly."

"Yes, my lord."

Although Dian Wei is Liu Zheng's personal commander, he can be regarded as the closest person when Liu Zheng has no other generals around him.

Although Liu Zheng still has Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others by his side, they have just joined Liu Zheng and have not yet fully trusted by Liu Zheng. There is no way to leave everything to them.

Liu Zheng would rather trust Wu Anguo, who had just joined, than directly trust Lu Bu.

With the news from Mi Fang, Liu Zheng had a preliminary understanding of the troops in the various counties, and he did not act rashly. After all, there were 5000 people on the other side, and he only had less than 8000 people.

There is still a gap in military strength. If you attack rashly, you may easily capsize in the gutter. Liu Zheng, who has always been prudent, naturally has to wait for his own people to find out the news clearly and understand when Cao Bao and others attacked Donglai. Think again.

Anyway, two days ago, Cao Bao had assembled his troops in various counties, and it was estimated that the time would be about the same. Within a few days, Cao Bao would definitely lead his troops to approach Donglai quickly, and then surprise Donglai County.

Chapter 575 Ambush Cao Bao

What Liu Zheng had to wait for was to figure out Cao Bao's marching route, and then give him a heavy blow at the position where Cao Bao and others were advancing.

The news was not too difficult to inquire about. They sent people to lie dormant outside the cities of the counties, and when the soldiers and horses in Caobao City moved slightly, they could know when they would leave the city.

Liu Zheng only needs to guard the counties on the only way to Donglai, and when the news of Cao Bao's men dispatching comes, he can lay an ambush, and then carry out an ambush against Cao Bao's men.

An ambush is much better than a direct confrontation with Cao Bao's 2 people. At least Cao Bao's morale will be broken if he is ambushed. At that time, he will be vulnerable. With the 8000 troops in his hands, Liu Zheng can also deal with Cao Bao .

A day later, together with Wu Anguo, Dian Wei, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, came back, saying that the news had come from the counties. Cao Bao's men did not stay in the counties for long, waiting for Zhao Yu's county soldiers. As soon as they were in place, they had already set off towards Donglai County.
