The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Regarding Liu Zheng's words, Lu Zhi did not object too much.

After reaching a consensus, the next thing is simple.

Lu Zhi ordered his men to take the initiative to part ways with Liu Zheng and others.Let Liu Zheng's men walk past Hulao Pass.

Not long after, Liu Zheng walked over from Hulao Pass with his remaining 2 people.

Liu Zheng did not violate the contract when he left, but actually let Zhang Rang go back.

Zhang Rang, the old eunuch, really didn't have much effect on Liu Zheng and the others.On the contrary, handing him over to Lu Zhi and the others would enable Lu Zhi and the others to better understand the situation in Luoyang, thus making Lu Zhi and the others and He Jin in Luoyang fear each other, causing a chaotic situation for Liu Zheng and the others. Time to escape from Hulaoguan.

And Lu Zhi and others did not launch an attack on Liu Zheng's troops after Liu Zheng came out of Hulao Pass.

After all, there are more people on Liu Zheng's side than Lu Zhi's. Once there is a battle, the remaining 1 people on Lu Zhi's side may not be able to firmly suppress Liu Zheng.

If there is a real fight, the outcome is really two things.

In addition, Lu Zhi was quite concerned about what Liu Zheng said before, so he was anxious about what happened in Luoyang at this time. When Zhang Rang came to Lu Zhi's army from Liu Zheng's hands, Lu Zhi hurriedly asked Zhang Rang What happened in Luoyang.

He wanted to know the specific details of what happened in Luoyang. After hearing Zhang Rang's description, Lu Zhi stopped staying at Hulao Pass and left a few people behind to send a letter to Huangfusong. Then he took his own More than 1 soldiers and horses rushed to Luoyang.

After Liu Zheng left Hulao Pass, he didn't stay here, but rushed directly from Hulao Pass to Yingchuan County without stopping.

Following the way he came before, he quickly turned back to Runan City.

Runan was still Liu Zheng's territory at this time. After Runan and Yingchuan counties were recovered by him, although the government and military forces had always wanted to recover here, Liu Zheng's strength was strong enough.

When Liu Zheng left, he left [-] soldiers and horses in Runan City, and from time to time, some remnants of the Yellow Turbans came to Runan City to join Liu Zheng's team.

On the contrary, it is possible to slowly grow the uprising team in a short period of time.

It only took Liu Zheng two days to return to Runan City. When he returned to Runan City, Liu Zheng was surprised.

Originally, there were only 3 soldiers left in Runan City. During this period of time, under the arrangement of Zhang Zhongjing and others, the number of people gradually increased, and the number of troops under Liu Zheng's command increased to more than [-].

Although most of these 3 people are civilians, basically people who have not experienced fighting, joining Liu Zheng is just asking for a bite to eat.

But Liu Zheng has the food and grass he robbed in Luoyang, which is enough to feed these people here.

With the soldiers and horses from Runan gathered together, the number of Liu Zheng's subordinates immediately returned to 5. Although there are [-] combat-ready soldiers after his career, the increase in the number still has some effect on Liu Zheng.

As soon as he returned to Runan, Xu You proposed to leave before Liu Zheng even had time to make any preparations.

Liu Zheng didn't stop him either, and handed over the young emperor Liu Bian who was kidnapped from Luoyang to Xu You.

"Mr. Xu You, I don't know when we will see you again after this trip, take care."

Xu You wanted to leave, but Liu Zheng didn't stop him. He even divided his troops into a small team and asked them to escort Xu You away.

But Xu You declined Liu Zheng, firstly because there were too many people, making it inconvenient to travel, and secondly, maybe because he was worried that Liu Zheng would be bad for him.

Liu Zheng also saw through Xu You's thoughts and didn't say much.

After Xu You talked to Liu Zheng and kept in touch, he took a few of his entourage, led Liu Bian, and left towards Runan City.

After Xu You left, Zhou Cang looked at Xu You's leaving figure, moved to Liu Zheng's side, and talked to Liu Zheng reluctantly.

"Qu Shuai, let this man go away like this?"

Obviously, Zhou Cang still has some grudges about Xu You's departure.

Liu Zheng looked at Xu You's leaving figure, then at Zhou Cang, and sighed.

"Hey, what can we do about it? The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and when they get together, they part and leave. If he wants to leave, we can't keep him."

"I can't keep him, but I can't just let him go, and he also took away our hostage. We managed to capture that child from the Luoyang Palace. The worst thing is, he still knows our secret The reason why our cavalry is strong is because of things like stirrups. Now that he has left, will he give us our secrets?"

Zhou Cang didn't continue to speak, because he knew that what he said was clear enough, and Liu Zheng should be able to understand it.

After Liu Zheng heard Zhou Cang's words, his expression sank slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xu You's leaving figure with a bit of murderous intent.

But this murderous intent was only fleeting.

Finally he sighed.

"Forget it, we can't do this kind of thing like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges."

Liu Zheng quickly said something to Zhou Cang.

"What I want to build is a team, a team that strives for a common dream, not a team that uses power, killing and threats to gather together. If I kill Xu You today, who else will be able to come to me tomorrow?" Follow me around."

"Besides, Xu You helped us block Lu Zhi's army at Hulaoguan for half a month before, more or less than we have some sympathy, this time he left us and went to Jizhou to join Wang Fen, although he said he was not with us. All the way, what we do, but we are on the same front as us.”

It's not that Liu Zheng has no intention of killing Xu You, but in Liu Zheng's heart, Xu You should not be killed at this time. Killing Xu You may benefit temporarily, but it is not worthwhile for the general trend of the world.

The Yellow Turban was newly defeated. At this time, Liu Zheng was worried about where to go next. If Xu You, Wang Fen and others could play the banner of the new emperor in Jizhou, they could definitely attract Luoyang's attention.

The ministers and generals in Luoyang will no longer focus on Liu Zheng and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

So Liu Zheng still needs Wang Fen and Xu You to draw Luoyang's attention for them.

After Xu You left, Liu Zheng quickly gathered his men and began to discuss matters, discussing what his men should do next.

Although there are quite a few people on Liu Zheng's side now, there are only a few capable people.

Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhang Zhongjing, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Sun Xia, Yang Feng, Guo Tai.

These people are Liu Zheng's most direct soldiers at present.

Chapter 133 Arranging the Team

"Everyone, if you want to come to the latest news, you should already know it."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present.

Some of these people were people who followed him from the beginning, and some people who gradually followed him after he became his handsome man.

There are even Huang Zhong, the surrendered general who was recruited, and Sun Xia, a military general who was not affiliated with him at all.

Forgive me, Liu Zheng, but none of the people present spoke, waiting silently for Liu Zheng to speak.

"What happened in Jizhou was really not what I wanted, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this. The situation was originally good. Seeing that we can break Luoyang City, capture the imperial capital, and the flag of the yellow sky is all over China, but now the great virtuous As soon as the master died, the members of the Yellow Turban Sect fell apart. Like a plate of scattered sand, less than one person survived."

Although some of the people present did not know what happened in Jizhou, most of them had already heard about what happened in Jizhou on the way back, and their expressions were already very solemn.

And those who didn't know what happened, when they saw Liu Zheng speaking in such a tone, they also had a bad face for a while.

"Now, as far as I know, the only remaining remnants of the Yellow Turbans are our Runan branch and the 2 troops left by Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang, commanded by Zhao Hong. Qingzhou and Yanzhou each have some remnants of the Yellow Turbans. But these people can't make any big waves, and they can't pose a threat to the imperial court."

Since Liu Zheng intends to continue to fight against the imperial court, he cannot continue to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army. Although he was born in the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army has now been destroyed, and he continues to stare at the title of the Yellow Turban Army. Words are not beneficial, but will continue to be targeted by the court.

It's better to break it up into pieces, like the Black Mountain Army in history, break away from the towns, occupy the mountains directly in the wild and build a city fortress, and they can still live temporarily in this troubled world.

The reason why Liu Zheng has such an idea is that the current world has completely deviated from his understanding, and it is completely different from the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty in history.

The butterfly effect caused by a time travel is too strong, and he doesn't know what direction the world will develop in the future. He can only avoid the edge first, hibernate temporarily, and recuperate.

Choose the policy of accumulating food widely and building walls high, while accumulating strength in this troubled world, while recruiting famous generals and advisors.

Anyway, he doesn't know how history will go next, but he knows the names of those capable people in this world.

Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Sun Ce, Ma Chao, Tai Shici.

These people, in this day and age, are still teenagers, as long as they are recruited in advance, no matter how the world goes, Liu Zheng is sure to stay in this world.

"I called you here just to tell you something from my heart. If you are willing to continue to fight with me, I welcome it. If you are not willing to continue to fight against the court, we have robbed a lot of money from Luoyang this time. , I will give you a part, you can bring your own people, disarm and return to the fields, and you will not be embarrassed if you want to come to the court."

After Xu You's departure happened, Liu Zheng needed to sort out his internal team. What he needed was a comrade who followed him with one heart, and someone who could obey his command and dispatch.

As soon as Liu Zheng said these words, the people below immediately began to look at each other.

Of course, there are a few people who don't have any dynamic expressions.

Xu Huang, after Liu Zheng said this, he didn't think much about it at all. He and Liu Zheng had a fateful friendship. Watching Liu Zheng grow from an ordinary soldier to an overlord step by step, naturally he would not Leave Liu Zheng.

Huang Zhong didn't think much about it either. He followed Liu Zheng not because Liu Zheng was a Yellow Turban Army, but because he wanted to save his son. Now that his son and Liu Zheng were tied to the same boat, Huang Zhong was naturally Liu Zheng. people who fight.

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang's expression changed slightly, but they were both old men who had followed Liu Zheng for a long time. They knew Liu Zheng's character and understood that Liu Zheng was a formidable person, more powerful than anyone in the Yellow Turban Army they had ever seen. A handsome man must be more attractive.

So none of them spoke.

The only people who hesitated were Yang Feng, Mrs. Guo and Sun Xia.

Mrs. Guo and Yang Feng were not Fengyun's subordinates in the first place, but the remnants of the Yellow Turbans that Liu Zheng recruited in Yingchuan County when he hunted down Dong Zhuo this time.

They didn't have much sense of identity with Liu Zheng, and the reason why they took refuge in Liu Zheng was only because of the end of the road. ,

Right now, the Yellow Turban Army's uprising has failed, following Liu Zheng's wishes, it seems that they don't intend to continue to fight against the court here, and plan to find a place to live in seclusion to avoid the war, and the two of them are somewhat reluctant to follow Liu Zheng.

After all, they are always under the control of Liu Zheng, so why don't they find a place to occupy the mountain and become king, so that they can still become the boss and don't have to obey Liu Zheng's orders.

And Sun Xia himself is not Liu Zheng's subordinate, he is Zhang Mancheng's man, although Zhang Mancheng had an unpleasant battle with Zhang Bao during the Battle of Jizhou.

But there is no news that Zhang Mancheng is dead, so Sun Xia essentially has to obey Zhang Mancheng's words.

Even if Zhang Mancheng died, Sun Xia also belonged to the Nanyang Yellow Turban, and it would be obviously better to go with Zhao Hong.

Although Sun Xia also understands that Liu Zheng is a man of good strength, courage and strategy, but Liu Zheng does not intend to continue to fight against the court. This is a little different from Sun Xia, who supports the Yellow Turban Army.

So Sun Xia was the first to stand up and say goodbye to Liu Zheng.

"Shuai Liu Zhengqu, although General Tiangong is dead, I am willing to inherit Huang Tian's will. I don't want to continue to fight against the imperial court. I will not force it. Today I will lead my people and return to Nanyang. We bid farewell to you."

Sun Xia's tone was a little aggressive, and he planned to leave after speaking, because he was also a little angry with Liu Zheng. After all, once Zhang Jiao died, Liu Zheng proposed to break up the gang. This matter is not benevolent.

Seeing Sun Xia walking outside the big tent, Liu Zheng spoke hastily.

"General Sun Xia stay!"

Sun Xia stopped and looked back at Liu Zheng.

"What else is there?"

"General Sun Xia's intention, I admire, but the arms can't hold the thighs, the Yellow Turban Army is left with you people, it is impossible to fight against the court, listen to my advice, temporarily dormant, it is the best policy."

"Thank you Liu Zheng Qu Shuai for your kindness. We Nanyang Yellow Turbans will definitely inherit Huang Tian's will and fight against the imperial court. Since Liu Zheng Qu Shuai doesn't want to continue to work with us, don't worry about our affairs."

Sun Xia ignored Liu Zheng and continued walking.

Chapter 134

Watching Sun Xia leave decisively.

Liu Zheng sighed, showing both admiration and regret for Sun Xia.

However, he immediately ordered Zhou Cang to take some of the grain and grass looted from Luoyang and give it to Sun Xia.

Sun Xia took 3 people to attack Luoyang with him, and now there are only more than 1 soldiers and horses left. The loss is not to be feared, and Liu Zheng still wants to make up for some of his losses.

After Sun Xia asked to leave, he gave Yang Feng and Guo Tai courage. The two of them glanced at each other, and then they also proposed.

"Qu Shuai, since you don't intend to continue to confront the imperial court, then let's bid farewell to the two of us."

"Are you leaving too? That's fine. After all, you are not from the south. This time I decided to go south. It may be a little uncomfortable for you."

Liu Zheng didn't seem surprised that Yang Feng and Guo Tai also wanted to leave.

After all, the strength of these two people is just like this, Liu Zheng doesn't regard them as his confidant generals, since it is better to leave.

Anyway, they joined Liu Zheng's command and didn't know much about the secrets of Liu Zheng's barracks.

Leaving at this time will save you trouble in the future.

"No problem, since we have different ways, let's not conspire with each other. You two can also go to Zhou Cang to get some food and supplies from him, and then you can lead your own troops and leave."

Liu Zheng did not stop them from leaving, on the contrary, Liu Zheng was somewhat happy about their departure.After all, the people who stay are the real brothers who can talk to each other, and it will be Liu Zheng who will strengthen his army in the future.

After Sun Xia, Guo Tai, and Yang Fengzhi left, the remaining troops in the entire tent were the core part of Liu Zheng's troops. These people followed Liu Zheng a long time ago and gradually grew up from a personal soldier. The people who have achieved such dominance now.

After they left, Liu Zheng began to talk to them, describing his next plan.

"Brothers, the current uprising of the Yellow Turban Army can be said to have failed. If we continue to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, it will not bring us much benefit. On the contrary, it will continue to be remembered by the court. What I yearn for is just a In a peaceful and prosperous age, it doesn’t really matter whether you continue to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.”

"Next we will leave Runan County and go to Jingzhou."

"Going to Jingzhou, I don't know what Qu Shuai's plan is next?"

Liu Zhengzai expressed his desire to go to Jingzhou, and immediately got a question from Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing didn't know the meaning of Liu Zheng's going to Jingzhou, but he had already decided to tie Liu Zheng on a warship, and he still wanted to find out where Liu Zheng was going.

"It's actually very simple, Mr. Zhongjing. Now that the imperial court is troubled by internal and external troubles, I want to stay away from the vicinity of Luoyang and develop and strengthen my own strength. The two prefectures of Jingyang and Yangzhou are obviously good choices. Not only are they rich in products, but also have two freshwater lakes. There are famines in various places, and it is unlikely that famine will spread in these two states, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that wars can be avoided."

As a traveler, Liu Zheng naturally understands Jingzhou and Yangzhou.At the end of the Han Dynasty, before the Three Kingdoms, the two states and counties were the most peaceful. First, there were no foreign invasions, and second, there were few natural disasters.
