The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chu Yan immediately rejected Liu Zheng's idea, and although Zhou Cang usually believed in Liu Zheng very much, after Liu Zheng said such impossible words, Zhou Cang also looked at Liu Zheng in surprise, and immediately asked Liu Zheng .

"Qu Shuai, is it possible to attack Luoyang with our little manpower?"

Liu Zheng knew that the two of them would be surprised, and couldn't even think of the consequences of what he did, so he didn't blame them, and immediately explained to them the purpose of what he did.

"General Chu Yan, why do you think General Tiangong ordered me to go to Jizhou?"

Liu Zheng was afraid that Chu Yan would not understand what he said, so he simply explained to Chu Yan from the beginning.

"Of course, General Tiangong has taken a fancy to Liu Zhengqu and your strength. Your performance against the army these days is obvious to all. We all know that you are an important combat force of our army. If you go to Jizhou, you will definitely be able to greatly help Tiangong. General."

"That's right, General Tiangong let me go there, nothing more than to help him deal with the three Zhonglang generals."

"Well, with Liu Zhengqu in charge of your troops, plus Zhang Mancheng's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou can be strengthened to some extent, and it will not be so difficult to confront the three major Zhonglang generals. If so, it’s okay to stay in a stalemate.”

Chu Yan is not stupid. How could he be an idiot who can command hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountain Army in the future? Liu Zheng's words made him think of it.

"That's right, I went to attack Luoyang precisely to help General Tiangong deal with the three Zhonglang generals, and it would be more helpful to General Tiangong than going directly to Jizhou!"

"why?"

Chu Yan didn't want to understand the doorway here, but she still didn't feel ashamed to ask, and asked Liu Zheng a question.

"Then let me ask you, if I go to attack Luoyang, who will be the most nervous?"

"Of course it's the old emperor in Luoyang City. If he knows that our Yellow Turban Army has attacked Luoyang City, he'll probably pee his pants in fright!"

"Then if the emperor is afraid, what will he do? Like General Tiangong, he will let the surrounding soldiers and horses come to serve the king!"

"That's right. If my troops go to Luoyang, the emperor will definitely let the surrounding troops go to protect Luoyang. The most likely troops are the three generals of Zhonglang, and they will leave for a while at that time. Among them, the crisis in Jizhou will be resolved, right?"

For the sake of Liu Zheng's words, Chu Yan naturally figured it out.

The whole person had a feeling that his eyes were bright, and he immediately looked at Liu Zheng and clapped his hands in applause.

"That's right, why didn't I think that if this is the case, Huangfusong and Lu Zhi will definitely have a group of troops evacuated from Jizhou to protect Luoyang, and how can we gather strength to eliminate the remaining Zhonglang general in Jizhou? This will kill all three Zhonglang generals."

"This plan to divide and kill is really wonderful!"

After understanding Liu Zheng's whole plan, Chu Yan still had some doubts just now, but now there is only admiration left, and the expression of looking at Liu Zheng became joyful.

Seeing that Chu Yan had understood his plan, Liu Zheng immediately showed a smile on his face and continued to talk to Chu Yan.

"Of course, this is just my initial plan. The real plan has not been planned in detail yet. However, such a big event as attacking Luoyang does not require any plan at all. We can only take one step at a time. After all, there are too many variables, and a strong ability to adapt to changes is required. .”

Liu Zheng's simple explanation made Chu Yan nod again and again. It is not the first time that Chu Yan has seen Liu Zheng's rebellious young man. He admires Liu Zheng quite a bit.

"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, if you go to attack Luoyang, I, Chu Yan, will be the first to support you. It's just that General Tiangong is on the side. I'm afraid it's hard to explain. If you don't go to support Jizhou, I'm afraid General Tiangong will complain to you. "

"It's okay, Chu Yan, I think General Tiangong will understand what I'm doing, and it's not about you, although I won't go to support Jizhou, but you have to persuade Zhang Man to be the envoy of the gods, after all, I am also worried about Jizhou. We can't afford to delay, only when Zhang Mancheng's troops reach Jizhou, can General Tiangong's troops stop the three Zhonglang generals."

Although Liu Zheng didn't want to support Jizhou himself, he couldn't let Zhang Mancheng not go. The historical Zhang Mancheng was already dead at this time, but because of Liu Zheng's appearance, history changed. Not only did Zhang Mancheng not die, but also because of this paragraph Over time, his soldiers and horses have developed in Nanyang and have gradually penetrated into Jiangxia County.

If Zhang Mancheng, whose strength has grown so much, can go back to Jizhou and assist Zhang Jiao, it will be a big boost to the Yellow Turban Army, which is much more than the tens of thousands in Liu Zheng's hands.

Of course, whether it is great or not is another matter.

"Okay, Commander Liu Zhengqu, you take people to attack Luoyang, and I will continue to explain the situation to the envoy of the gods. Be sure to ask the envoys of the gods to return to Jizhou. At that time, I will explain the situation for you in front of General Tiangong."

After Chu Yan was fooled by Liu Zheng's words, she didn't stay here with Liu Zheng soon, and left as soon as possible, and went to Nanyang County to find Zhang Mancheng.

After the actor left, Zhou Cang immediately came up and asked Liu Zheng if what he said just now was true.

"Qu Shuai, are we really going to attack Luoyang?"

"Go, why don't you go? If you don't go, doesn't it mean that our words don't count? But attacking Luoyang is such a big matter, we are naturally reckless, we must find the right time, and first cultivate here for a few days, train the soldiers and horses well, and go to attack When in Luoyang, I will inform everyone."

Liu Zheng didn't refuse Zhou Cang's words, but quickly answered. He also began to think about the attack on Luoyang. Not long after Zhou Cang left, Xu You hurried over.

As soon as he entered the door, some people yelled at Liu Zheng in panic.

"Shuai Qu, I heard from Zhou Cang that you are going to attack Luoyang, absolutely not!"

From far away, Liu Zheng could hear Xu You's voice.

Chapter 99 Attack on Luoyang

Liu Zheng's plan to attack Luoyang has not been mentioned to the generals and advisers under his command. Zhou Cang's big mouth has already been announced, and many people know about it.

Especially Xu You, after hearing the news, hurried over to find Liu Zheng.

"Mr. Xu You, why are you here?"

Although Liu Zheng knew that Xu You would object to his idea, he didn't expect such a big reaction when he used it, and he rushed over to find him so quickly.

Liu Zhengming knew that Xu You was more concerned about this matter, which is why he didn't discuss it with Xu You in advance.

"I heard that you are going to attack Luoyang, can I not be in a hurry? Qu Shuai, if we attack Luoyang with our current troops, we will definitely lose. Think twice!"

"Why is there no doubt that we will lose? In my opinion, we have a great opportunity!"

Xu You's anxious look aroused Liu Zheng's interest, and he wanted to hear what he had to say.

When asked by Liu Zheng, Xu You began to tell Liu Zheng his own opinion, trying to persuade Liu Zheng to cancel this decision.

"Look, Qu Shuai, although our strength has greatly increased, we have [-] soldiers in Runan County, but our [-] soldiers are not considered elite. If we really encounter the same number of officers and soldiers and want to defeat them, it will be extremely difficult." , but do you know how many troops the imperial court has deployed around Luoyang!"

"Let's not talk about the soldiers and horses deployed by He Jin, the general of Luoyang Headquarters. They are the land near Luoyang, the capital city, and the eight major passes guarding Luoyang. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in each pass. As far as I know, every pass Among them, there are at least 7000 people guarding them, and the pass cities are solid, and it is difficult to break through these passes without sufficient siege equipment."

"Although we have as many as 3 people, it is very difficult to break through these passes and enter the territory of Luoyang. In my opinion, even if we can reach the city of Luoyang, there are definitely not many people left. It is impossible to break through Luoyang City."

"And take a step back, even if we take down Luoyang, what can we do? After killing the emperor, they will only create another descendant of the royal family. Succession as the new emperor will not solve the fundamental problem."

Xu You's words made Liu Zheng nodded immediately, and did not deny it.

Seeing Liu Zheng nodding in agreement, Xu You thought he had persuaded Liu Zheng not to continue attacking Luoyang, so he immediately added another sentence.

"Qu Shuai, you see that attacking Luoyang is so unfavorable, why do we have to go to such lengths to do such a thankless thing."

"Well, Xu You is right, but who told you that I went to attack Luoyang to kill the emperor."

"Ah? Why did you attack Luoyang not to kill the emperor?"

When Xu You said these words, Liu Zheng knew that the news he had heard from Zhou Cang was not complete. He just heard that Zhou Cang was going to attack Luoyang, but he didn't hear that Liu Zheng had talked with Zhou Cang and What Chu and Yan said.

So at this time, Liu Zheng could only be patient and continue to explain to Xu You.

"Mr. Xu You, it seems that you don't know yet. According to the information from Jizhou, General Tiangong Zhang Jiao ordered me to lead all the troops to support Jizhou."

"You mean that the situation in Jizhou is not good, Zhang Jiao, General Tiangong, can't stop the attack of the three Zhonglang generals?"

Xu You is smarter, and after Liu Zheng mentioned it, he immediately thought of it.

Liu Zheng nodded, which made Xu You's expression darken.

After a moment of silence, he finally raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng again.

"Do you want to use the attack on Luoyang to attract the attention of the three Zhonglang generals, so as to ease the fighting situation in Jizhou?"

Xu You quickly figured out the significance of Liu Zheng's move. After Liu Zheng listened, he nodded, and once again had a high opinion of Xu You's intelligence.

"Wonderful, wonderful, what a clever plan!"

Only at this time did Xu You understand the purpose of Liu Zheng's move, and also what Liu Zheng did for it!

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Xu You has already seen the subtlety of my plan."

"I saw something, and I said it. I don't know if it's right. The reason why Shuai Qu didn't go directly to Jizhou was because he didn't want to confront the three Zhonglang generals head-on, and he was also looking for a way out for himself. In my opinion, Qu Shuai may have already seen that the Yellow Turban Army is dead, and they are looking for a way out for themselves."

"It is the best choice to take the initiative to leave the Jizhou battlefield. Choosing to attack Luoyang can help relieve the pressure on the Jizhou battlefield, and secondly, it will be the fastest to get news. Once the affairs of the Jizhou battlefield are over, the canals near Luoyang Handsome, he can get news faster than the court, so he can react accordingly."

Xu You's words clearly guessed Liu Zheng's thoughts.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but admire Xu You a little more.

"As expected of the person I like, Mr. Xu You is really the worm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from Mr. Xu."

"However, Shuai Qu, although doing this is very beneficial to us, there are still uncertain factors. If the people of the imperial court sense our threat and directly gather troops from Luoyang to encircle and suppress us, we will also suffer from the enemy, which is very disadvantageous. .”

Xu You talked about the crisis, and Liu Zheng had already thought about this. ,

"Don't worry, this will not happen at all. First of all, before we break through the pass and enter the capital, the imperial court will not send people from the capital to encircle and suppress us. Most of the time is to let the nearby prefects do it themselves." Form an army and come here, but I am sure that no matter who the prefect is, my troops will be able to defeat him."

"At the same time, the most likely thing for the imperial court is to call in the three major Zhonglang generals, and I'm sure that the one who will come must be Dong Zhuo!"

"Why?"

Liu Zheng's words made Xu You a little puzzled.

"Dong Zhuo came to encircle and suppress us under the order, but in the end he allowed us to grow stronger and went to the capital. How could the imperial court let it go? He will definitely be punished for offending him. If he wants to avoid being punished by the imperial court, he has no choice but to bring someone over to arrest me. Wait for the defeat, otherwise he will be in a dilemma."

With Liu Zheng's description, Xu You suddenly realized, and now he praised Liu Zheng's plan even more, and strongly supported Liu Zheng to attack Luoyang.

But although it was decided, Liu Zheng was not in a hurry, but was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Within two days, Chu Yan, who was going to Nanyang, brought Zhang Mancheng, who had rushed over from Nanyang, to Runan.

If they want to support Jizhou, they must pass through Runan County, which gives Liu Zheng and Zhang Mancheng a chance to meet.

Zhang Mancheng was still injured, but he did not dare to be negligent as it was a matter of great importance in Jizhou, so he personally took people to Jizhou.

Chapter 100 Vibration

Zhang Mancheng originally supported 20 troops in Nanyang, but after a battle with Zhu Jun and Qin Jie, he lost his troops and only 10,000+ people.

But later, with the help of Liu Zheng, after repelling Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, he gathered a lot of troops, and the troops once exceeded 20.

But this time to support Jizhou, it is impossible for Zhang Mancheng to bring all the soldiers and horses of his Nanyang County. He ordered an army of [-] and led the troops to Jizhou. At the same time, he left behind Zhao Hong and the rest. , stationed in Nanyang County, and continued to develop power in Jiangxia County.

And Sun Xia's 3 people who were originally dispatched to assist Liu Zheng are still stationed in Runan County.

"Envoy, I will leave it to you to support Jizhou."

On the way, Zhang Mancheng had already heard Chu Yan talk about what he had discussed with Liu Zheng in Runan City. Zhang Mancheng had no objection to Liu Zheng not bringing anyone to support Jizhou. , is also an excellent thing.

"Don't worry, with my soldiers and horses going to Jizhou, I will definitely be able to assist General Tiangong against General Zhonglang. On the contrary, Liu Zheng is going to attack Luoyang. It is extremely dangerous. You must protect yourself, and don't fall into the trap of the officers and soldiers! "

Compared with Zhang Mancheng, he thinks that Liu Zheng leading people to attack Luoyang is much more dangerous than directly leading people to support Jizhou, so he dare not doubt that Liu Zheng has ulterior motives, but thinks that Liu Zheng is showing his loyalty.

"You don't have a lot of troops, and it will be very difficult to attack Luoyang. The Sun Xia and others I sent here will be dispatched directly by you. Bring them with you, and your troops will be enough to enter Luoyang!"

Zhang Mancheng directly promised Liu Zheng 3 people, and handed over the dispatching power of people like Sun Xia to Liu Zheng.

Speaking of which, Liu Zheng and Sun Xia are not strangers, they have met many times, and they have a lot of contacts. Liu Zheng also knows a little about Sun Xia, and his temper is right. Sun Xia is also convinced of Liu Zheng, and understands that Sun Xia Will not pull their own hind legs after.

Liu Zheng did not reject Zhang Mancheng.Although he knows that Jizhou needs these 3 people more than he does.

But Liu Zheng's own troops are not many. If he wants to fight the official army, 3 people may be able to give him a lot of help.

Zhang Mancheng didn't stay in Runan City for long, and quickly left with his people. After all, he was anxious about the situation in Jizhou, and Chu Yan said that Zhang Jiao couldn't last long.

So they rushed to Jizhou earlier to relieve Zhang Jiao's pressure earlier.

After Zhang Mancheng left, Liu Zheng also started to attack Luoyang.

Attacking Luoyang is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually take action.

First of all, it is quite troublesome for Liu Zheng and their soldiers to enter the capital.

Runan County is still hundreds of miles away from Luoyang.Even if he has started to conquer Yingchuan County now, there is still Hongnong County separated from Yingchuan County.

Hongnong County is all too familiar to Liu Zheng, because Liu Xie, the later Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, was named King Hongnong before.

It's just that Liu Xie is only four or five years old now.

Although Liu Zheng is familiar with the place name of Hongnong County, he has never been to this place.

The only thing I know is that this place belongs to Gyeonggi, but it is not close to Luoyang.

If you want to go to Luoyang, you must pass through Hongnong County.Then break through the gate of Hulao, and fight all the way to the city of Luoyang.

Liu Zheng wanted to attack Hongnong County, but he couldn't make it too obvious.

In case his soldiers and horses were mobilized and the movement was too loud and the surrounding officers and soldiers noticed, it would be very bad for his next plan to attack Luoyang.

A few days later, Liu Zheng estimated that the troops of Zhang Mancheng and Chu Yan had arrived in Jizhou.And after starting the confrontation with the three major Zhonglang generals.

Only then did Liu Zheng embark on his own plan to attack Luoyang.

He ordered troops first, took out 2 of his [-] soldiers and horses, and decided to lead the [-] elite to attack Luoyang.

Leaving 1 people stationed in Runan County, leaving him a way out.

At the same time, he took Sun Xia's 5 soldiers and horses to form a coalition army with [-] people, and began to enter Yingchuan County to take over the comprehensive defense of Yingchuan County.
