The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ning and Cai Yao have a good relationship, and Liu Zheng rarely asks about family affairs.

"That's good."

Next, Liu Zheng went to meet Cai Yao, Zhang Muyu, and even Yuan Rou in turn.

For each one, he was alone for a while.

After all these matters were resolved, Liu Zheng brought Mi Wei to the barracks two days later.

In the barracks, Xu Huang's more than [-] cavalry were ready.

"Gongming, are our troops ready?"

"My lord, out of the 1 cavalry, I selected 1 of them. These [-] are carefully selected by some of the elderly who followed us first."

"Okay, very good, you take Mi Wei to familiarize yourself with the riding skills first, I will go to Zhou Tai and let his navy ships come over, we plan to surprise Xuzhou."

Yes, Liu Zheng couldn't swallow this breath. Lu Zhi occupied Liu Zheng's Xuzhou and killed Mi Zhu. Liu Zheng couldn't let go of this matter. If he didn't kill him back, Liu Zheng couldn't sleep well.

Chapter 699 Ruo Rong

After Lu Zhi's troops occupied Xuzhou, they did not continue to attack south.

On the one hand, he took people to Qingzhou to snatch the control of Beihai County and Donglai County. Although he teamed up with Yuan Shao's people, Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao are both people with their own ghosts. A powerful enemy Liu Zheng.

Now Liu Zheng has been dealt with by the two of them. Although Liu Zheng has not been completely defeated, the already fragile alliance is about to break.

They are all thinking for themselves, whoever grabs the most territory will be the real benefit.

Yuan Shao occupied most of Qingzhou, leaving only two counties that belonged to Liu Zheng, which fell into Lu Zhi's hands.

Yuan Shao naturally wanted to take these two counties, but Lu Zhi didn't give him a chance at all, and still stationed here with his troops.

On the surface, the two sides are still an alliance.Therefore, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to rob them by force. After all, once these two counties are robbed, the fragile alliance between the two sides will collapse in an instant.

In case the two sides fight again and let Liu Zheng take advantage of it, the loss outweighs the gain.

However, Lu Zhi originally brought not many officers and soldiers to Xuzhou this time.

Only 4 of the [-] troops were stationed in Xuzhou, and [-] cavalry went straight to Beihai County and Donglai County. Although soldiers from Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others came to Xuzhou to guard Xuzhou, there were still only [-] in Xuzhou. Just horses.

[-] soldiers and horses were stationed in various towns in Xuzhou. In fact, there were only [-] soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City.

Liu Zheng wanted to take advantage of Xuzhou's weak military strength to inflict heavy damage on them, causing them to suffer heavy losses, so that they could not continue to attack Liu Zheng's territory in a short period of time.

Guangling County.

This is the easternmost county in Xuzhou, next to Yangzhou, separated by a river.

It is precisely because it is very close to Yangzhou that Lu Zhi sent heavy troops to guard it here.

The original Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei came to Xuzhou together.

Now it was Liu Bei who led [-] troops and stationed in Xuzhou, and Gongsun Zan led [-] troops and stationed in Guangling.

Guangling is the first line of defense against Liu Zheng. If Liu Zheng's troops come up from Wujun, Guangling will be the first place to fight.

Here, it was originally Liu Zheng's territory, and the prefect in Guangling was called Ruo Rong.

Ruo Rong, this person was originally Tao Qian's old department. After Liu Zheng occupied Xuzhou, because he wanted to buy people's hearts, he did not kill all Tao Qian's old departments. Take heavy responsibility.

As a result, Ruo Rong, who was originally the Prime Minister of Xiapi, was appointed by Mi Zhu as the prefect of Guangling County.

Liu Zheng didn't pay too much attention to these things before. After all, he was Tao Qian's old department, and he had some strength, so he didn't manage the quality of Ruo Rong.

When Lu Zhi's army occupied this place, these former troops belonging to Tao Qian were the first to surrender.

Mi Zhu and the others swear to defend the city to the death, and Ruo Rong is the one who looks forward to the wind.

When Liu Zheng knew that the defenders of Guangling County had surrendered directly to Lu Zhi, he was so angry that he wanted to take these people under the knife.

However, when he knew that Guangling's guard was Ruo Rong, Liu Zheng would also know that it was normal for this man to capriciously surrender.

For Ruo Rong, Liu Zheng still has some impressions of some information in history, because he is one of the few small princes near Yangzhou.

At the beginning, he was the prime minister of Xiapi State under Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou. When he was in charge of escorting the grain of the three counties to pay tribute, he embezzled these belongings privately. Monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby counties moved to Xiapi County, with as many as 5000 households.Every Buddha's birthday, the "Buddha Bathing Party" is held, and the cost of setting up a banquet on the side of the road is calculated in units of [-] million.

The development of Buddhism during the Three Kingdoms period was all due to Ruo Rong alone.

Later, when Cao Cao paid tribute to Xuzhou, Ruo Rong was afraid and fled directly to Guangling with his own people, where he was treated courteously by Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling at that time.Was regarded as the honored guest.

But this guy was actually moved when he saw Wufu Minfeng in Guangling County, so at the banquet where Zhao Yu entertained him, he killed Zhao Yu in the name of a toast, and then let his people rob a whole lot of money in Guangling County. After that, he went south to Yangzhou and took refuge in Xue Li.

Xue Li was also Tao Qian's subordinate before, but he was not trusted by Tao Qian, so he was persecuted by Tao Qian and went to Moling, Yangzhou.

As a result, after Xue Li arrived in Moling, he also killed Xue Li. After annexing Xue Li's trilogy, he took refuge in Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou at that time.

After Ruo Rong defected to Liu Yao, he was dispatched by Liu Yao to assist Zhu Hao.

This Zhu Hao is the second son of Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, but Ruo Rong has not changed his nature. After killing Zhu Hao, he made himself the prefect of Yuzhang.

This time, Liu Yao couldn't bear it anymore, and led his troops to defeat Ruo Rong's trilogy. Finally, Ruo Rong fled to the mountains, where he was killed by the Shanyue people, and his head was given to Liu Yao.

Completely ended his life.

Liu Zheng hadn't thought of some news about Ruo Rong at first, but he remembered these things only when he stared at Ruo Rong's name carefully.

Thinking that he is such a capricious villain who specializes in killing the master, Liu Zheng hated Ruo Rong even more.

In Guangling County, Ruo Rong, who had taken refuge in Lu Zhi, was also trusted by Lu Zhi because he was Tao Qian's former subordinate, so Ruo Rong continued to serve as the prefect of Guangling and cooperated with Gongsun Zan to guard Guangling.

Liu Zheng led his [-] cavalry, and after secretly approaching Guangling from the coast, he planned to surprise Guangling.

However, Liu Zheng didn't plan to attack the city directly, because all his subordinates were cavalry, and it was particularly disadvantageous for cavalry to attack the city, so Liu Zheng planned to use some tactics.

After he arrived at the boundary of Xuzhou, although his original intention was to attack Gongsun Zan and Ruo Rong who were stationed in Guangling, he went in the opposite direction and directly led troops to attack Xuzhou City.

Tens of thousands of fine riders, wherever they pass.Naturally, it is frightening. In addition, the border of Xuzhou is flat, and it is best to pass with cavalry. In just two days, Liu Zheng has led people to kill Xuzhou city.

Because Liu Zheng knew that there were only [-] defenders in the city, so if he wanted to attack the city, he would first surround the city.

Liu Bei in the city was shocked when Liu Zheng's cavalry suddenly appeared in Xuzhou City. He never expected that Liu Zheng would cross Guangling and directly attack Xuzhou City.

However, the city of Xuzhou City is solid. Although it was broken by Lu Zhi before, the city gate is also very strong after repairs. It is not so easy for Liu Zheng's people to break the city.

Chapter 700 Surrounding the Points

Who is Liu Bei? He has fought against Liu Zheng several times and knows Liu Zheng very well.

But at this time, when he suddenly found out that Liu Zheng had arrived at the city of Xuzhou, he was also very frightened.

In Xuzhou City, Guan Yu walked to Liu Bei's house nervously.

"Brother, something happened."

"Yunchang, what happened?"

"We are surrounded by Liu Zheng's people!"

"what!"

After Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's words, he was shocked immediately.

"what happened?"

While asking Guan Yu what happened, he continued to get up and started walking towards the tower. Liu Bei was also worried.

"I don't know. Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses suddenly came to Xuzhou City. Gongsun Zan didn't give us any news. I had already closed the city gate in advance. Liu Zheng's men were calling for battle outside the city, and I ignored them."

After Guan Yu fought with Liu Zheng last time, he also became a little jealous of Liu Zheng. When he saw Liu Zheng again, Guan Yu, who had always been aloof, became a little more cautious.

He did not directly lead his own people to attack Liu Zheng, but went back to ask Liu Bei for instructions.

When Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's words, he was horrified and confused, so he immediately followed Guan Yu to the tower.

Sure enough, on the top of the city tower, Liu Bei saw Liu Zheng under the city.

Liu Zheng's appearance was too familiar to Liu Bei. When he saw Liu Zheng, Liu Bei became even more surprised.

Standing on the tower, Liu Bei couldn't help but said something.

"Liu Zheng, why did he come here? Why does he dare to bring some cavalry to attack the city? He underestimates me."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were beside Liu Bei hadn't answered anything to Liu Bei, and Liu Zheng who was downstairs had already noticed the changes on the tower, so he walked out directly.

"Liu Bei, I know you're up there, come out."

Being called by Liu Zheng by name, Liu Bei couldn't save face, so he walked out a few steps and responded to Liu Zheng who was in the city.

"Liu Zheng, I didn't expect you to dare to come to Xuzhou!"

"Hahaha, why don't I dare to come to this Xuzhou? You, the people who killed me, took my Xuzhou, and said that I dare not come."

When Liu Zheng saw people like Liu Bei again, he was already a little angry. After all, he could subdue Sun Jian and Cao Cao. It was because Sun Jian and Cao Cao didn't have any direct hatred with him. But that's all about the camp.

Essentially, there is no direct enmity.

But it's different from Liu Bei, because of Lu Zhi's killing of Mi Zhu, Liu Zheng and Liu Bei also hated him.

So for Liu Bei, Liu Zheng is not so magnanimous. If this Xuzhou city is broken, Liu Bei will definitely be killed together because of Liu Zheng's venting his anger.

"Hahaha, Xuzhou belongs to you. In the whole world, is it the king's land? What are you, Liu Zheng?"

Now that the face has been torn apart, Liu Bei is not in such a good mood to reason with Liu Zheng. The hatred between the two sides has been forged, and Liu Bei's mouth has begun to speak more.

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land, very good, very good, I was planning to proclaim myself emperor, since you are so eager to make me proclaim emperor, then I will tell you now, Liu Bei, from today onwards, I, Liu Zheng, will Proclaimed emperor."

"Proclaim the emperor? Hahaha, don't make people laugh out loud. Just because you, Liu Zheng, want to become the emperor, you probably don't even know the name of the country."

"Country number?"

"What country name do you call, what country name am I?"

"Isn't your puppet emperor called a big man? In that case, I am also called a big man. Yuan Shao's emperor is also called a big man, so let's have three big men. Let's see who will be able to unify the world in the end."

Liu Zheng smiled coldly. He had already thought about such things as national titles. A puppet emperor of the court and a puppet emperor under Yuan Shao are both big men, so Liu Zheng is also surnamed Liu, just like Liu Bei, calling himself It is not uncommon for Liu Xiu's descendants to also be called Dahan.

Although Liu Zheng did not have the recognition of the clan, but the two puppet emperors had people to support him, so Liu Zheng would naturally have his own people to support him.

Moreover, in order to gain status, the people under his command sealed his wife and son, and they would only agree to Liu Zheng's support, and no one would object at all.

"If you dare to proclaim yourself emperor, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will definitely kill you in Yangzhou and leave you with an indelible memory."

"Hahaha, is that right? I'm waiting in Yangzhou, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the puppet court you mentioned to come."

"Forget it, I can't wait any longer, I'd better fight into the city and take your dog's life directly!"

Liu Zheng said a few words to Liu Bei, but it was just a few happy words. For Liu Zheng, he didn't really want to attack Xuzhou City. His purpose was to guard the soldiers and horses in Guangling.

Although Liu Zheng said something cheerful verbally, he didn't really attack the city. He just let his cavalry run around the city a few times, which aroused Liu Bei's nervousness.

However, Liu Zheng did not attack, which still made Liu Bei feel that something was wrong.

After all, Liu Zheng came to Xuzhou City suddenly, how did he come here, and why did he surround Xuzhou City? If Liu Zheng still has reinforcements, then Liu Zheng really wants to attack Xuzhou City, and Liu Bei's 2 troops can't stop Liu Zheng Therefore, they can only be stationed in Xuzhou, and at the same time go around to ask for reinforcements.

Taking a step back, even if Liu Zheng doesn't attack Xuzhou, Liu Bei still wants to trap Liu Zheng outside the city of Xuzhou.

So Liu Bei directly sent people to Guangling, asking Gongsun Zan's men to return to Xuzhou at this time, so that they could attack back and forth.

Liu Zheng was the one who counted on Liu Bei, and he would definitely do this, so he was waiting. When Gongsun Zan's men came from Guangling, Liu Zheng went straight back to kill Gongsun Zan.

Regardless of whether it was Liu Bei or Gongsun Zan, Liu Zheng would always kill one of the two of them.

Only in this way can he vent his anger and make Liu Zheng feel better.

Two days later.

Liu Zheng's Jin Yiwei sent him a message.

Gongsun Zan in Guangling didn't know whether he had received Liu Bei's request for help, or because he had received the news that Liu Zheng had appeared in Xuzhou, so he immediately assembled more than [-] people in Guangling and hurried to Xuzhou.

When Gongsun Zan's men rushed over, Liu Zheng's spies had already passed the news to Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng received the news, a look of madness appeared on his face immediately.

"Brothers, the enemy has been tricked, let's go!"

Liu Zheng waved his hand, and immediately glanced at Mi Wei beside him.

"Teacher, it's time to avenge your father!"

After all, Liu Zheng ordered Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others to evacuate from outside Xuzhou City and head straight for Guangling.
