The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The two joined forces and wanted Zhang Zi, who was the prefect of Nanyang at that time, to send people and food, but Zhang Zi refused, so Sun Jian joined forces with Liu Xiang to attack Zhang Zi.

As a result, Liu Xiang died in the battle with Nanyang soldiers.

On the contrary, Sun Jian was fulfilled, allowing Sun Jian to accept Liu Xiang's troops, horses, money and food.

Although Liu Xiang was not famous in history, Liu Xiang's son was more famous than him.

Liu Ba, Liu Xiang's son, was a noble man with extraordinary status in the late Shu Han Dynasty. After Fazheng died, he succeeded Fazheng as Minister of Ministers, and solved Liu Bei's financial problems after entering Shu.

Of course, Liu Xiang at this time didn't know that Liu Zheng was not coming for his Jiangxia City at this time, but felt threatened because Liu Zheng's [-] army approached Jiangxia.

"Too bad, Liu Zheng led an army of [-] people and came to Jiangxia. Jiangxia is in danger!"

Liu Xiang paced back and forth in the hall, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, there were several other people in the hall. Seeing Liu Xiang's nervousness, some people didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly asked.

"My lord, why are you so nervous, what happened?"

The big man who asked Liu Xiang was wearing a general's armor and had a small mustache. He looked quite sinister.

"Huang Zu, something is wrong. We just repelled Zhao Hong and that guy a few days ago, but now another [-] yellow scarf thieves have come, and the leader is Liu Zheng, who killed Qin Jie and Zhu Jun. What should we do next!"

Although Liu Xiang has never met Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng has become famous in the counties and counties near Nanyang recently. Especially after Liu Zheng killed Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, some officers and soldiers nearby all I know there is such a number one person as Liu Zheng.

When Huang Zu with a mustache heard Liu Zheng's name, he also showed a dignified expression.

"Prefect, your news is true. Didn't Liu Zheng take people to attack Hulao Pass before? Why did he come to attack Jiang Xia at this time?"

"This is absolutely true. I received news from my secret work in Nanyang. Liu Zheng showed up in Nanyang with 3 people. It is very likely that he was discussing with Zhao Hong about attacking me in Jiangxia. Now Liu Zheng's The soldiers and horses are already on their way to Jiangxia, and it is estimated that they will appear in Jiangxia City in a short time."

Liu Xiang looked nervous. He looked at Huang Zu with a look of pleading for help. Liu Xiang himself was not good at commanding soldiers and horses.

But Huang Zu was from a powerful family in Jiangxia, and the Huang family was powerful in Jiangxia. Liu Xiang appointed Huang Zu because he also took a fancy to the Huang family behind Huang Zu.

It was precisely because of the existence of Huang Zu in Jiang Xia that Zhao Hong failed to succeed in the previous several attacks, and Zhao Hong returned without success after several attacks.

This time when Liu Zheng attacked, Liu Xiang could only hope that Huang Zu could find a solution, otherwise they could only defend Jiangxia City against Liu Zheng's attack.

"Master Taishou, if there is really an attack from Liu Zheng, we will not be able to defend Jiangxia City as before, and we should take the initiative to deal with the invading enemy."

At this moment, Liu Xiang was worried about how to deal with Liu Zheng. When he heard Huang Zu's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked Huang Zu.

"Huang Zu, do you have a way to deal with Liu Zheng?"

"I have recently collected some information about Liu Zheng. This man is always unpredictable, his tactics are unpredictable, unpredictable, and he is a difficult opponent. If we stick to Jiangxia County, we will definitely not be able to defend Jiangxia. City, that's why I proposed to take the initiative to attack and ambush Liu Zheng before he comes to Jiangxia."

"In this way, if we catch Liu Zheng by surprise, we will surely defeat Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses. Even if we can't directly defeat Liu Zheng, we can show Liu Zheng some color and let him understand that our Jiangxia City It's not that easy to deal with."

Huang Zu told Liu Xiang what he thought. After Liu Xiang heard it, although he had some doubts on his face, he had no good solution at present, but he could only listen to Huang Zu's opinion.

"There is nothing wrong with saying that, but according to the news I got, Liu Zheng had 3000 troops and rushed to Jiangxia. At this time, our Jiangxia City only has [-] defenders, including the [-] who were anxious to defend the city before." Xiangyong, we only have [-] troops."

The disadvantage in numbers is obviously far from that of Liu Zheng's side. There are not enough people to stick to this point, let alone take the initiative to attack.

"Regarding this, Lord Prefect, don't worry. Before, I had expected that Zhao Hong and others from Nanyang would attack Jiang Xia again, so not long ago, I asked our clan to invest in recruiting [-] Xiangyongs in the surrounding counties. "

"These 1 people can gather around Jiangxia City in less than half a day. The prefect only needs to send me 2 soldiers and horses. I will lead these [-] people, and I will be able to stop Liu Zheng before he comes to Jiangxia. .”

The reason why Huang Zu was so enthusiastic was because he wanted to show off in front of Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang is the newly appointed prefect of Jiangxia. As soon as he took office, he reused the Huang family of Jiangxia's wealthy family and asked Huang Zu to serve as Jiangxia's meritorious service.

So Huang Zu wanted to show off in front of Liu Xiang, so that Liu Xiang could use himself more.

Right now, Huang Zu had already made such a plan, so Liu Xiang naturally had nothing to say, and immediately agreed.

"Okay, Huang Zu, I'll leave it to you to stop Liu Zheng and these thieves. Don't let me live up to my expectations!"

"Don't worry, the prefect, I will definitely repel that Liu Zheng, and show those remnants of the Yellow Turbans a serious look."

Seeing that Liu Xiang agreed, Huang Zu immediately took the order and left.

Chapter 138 Ambush

On the other side, Liu Zheng led his people south along the official road.

He had no intention of attacking Jiangxia at all, but the official road was built between cities. If he wanted to get from Jiangxia County to Changsha County in the fastest way, he had to take the official road from Jiangxia City.

That's why Liu Zheng brought his men and horses to Jiang Xia's direction.

But when Liu Zheng's men and horses had just entered the boundary of Jiangxia City, Pei Yuanshao rushed over quickly from the front.

"What's the matter, Yuan Shao?"

Pei Yuanshao was sent by Liu Zheng to the cavalry team. He was the commander of the entire cavalry squad except for Xu Huang. Now Liu Zheng's cavalry has greatly increased in number during the first battle in Luoyang, because the number of horses has increased to 3000 horses for a while. These days The number expanded to nearly [-] people.

After the number soared, some of the troops were directly trained by Pei Yuanshao to become a scout team.

They were scattered around Liu Zheng's army and were responsible for listening to intelligence.

Because Liu Zheng understood from the very beginning that intelligence is the most important thing in a war.

Therefore, the scout team must focus on training. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and fighter opportunities are also fleeting. If you can grasp the latest information, you can predict the enemy's opportunities.

"Shuai Qu, our spies found a military mobilization in the dense forest fifty miles outside Jiangxia City. It seems that there are soldiers and horses coming from Jiangxia City and ambushing our army there."

Pei Yuanshao reported to Liu Zheng the information his spies had found.

Because there are cavalry spies, some military developments can be seen from a long distance, and Liu Zheng specially told Pei Yuanshao to pay attention to the information around him.

Originally, Liu Zheng didn't intend to pay attention to the officers and soldiers on Jiang Xia's side, but now after hearing Pei Yuanshao's words, Liu Zheng became interested.

"Someone ambushed us at Jiang Xia's side?"

Liu Zheng laughed when he heard Pei Yuanshao's words.

He didn't want to mess with others, and now it was others who came to trouble him.

"Have you found out? How many people are there, and who is the leader?"

"Reporting to Commander Qu, the commander-in-chief is not yet clear, but the number of people should exceed 1. The exact number is because the other party is hiding more closely, and our spies should not get too close, so it is not clear, but the guess number should be Between 2 and [-] people."

When Liu Zheng heard Pei Yuanshao's answer, the expression on his face became more excited.

"Interesting, just 2 people dare to come and design an ambush against me. They are really audacious. Don't you know my name, Liu Zheng? 2 people are not enough for me to plug my teeth."

Liu Zheng's answer made Pei Yuanshao immediately follow.

"Then handsome, do you want me to lead people to kill those who ambushed me?"

Today, Pei Yuanshao follows Liu Zheng, has experienced hundreds of battles, has more understanding of the battlefield, and his self-confidence has also improved a lot. In such a situation before him, he dare not have the slightest fear, but he volunteered, thinking To perform in front of Liu Zheng.

And Liu Zheng waved his hand, indicating that Pei Yuanshao didn't have to do this.

"No need, since someone wants to play with us, we are on our way here, and we have nothing to do, so let's play with them."

"Yes, Shuai Qu, then I will take people to continue to investigate information and prevent these people who ambushed us from making news that is not good for our army."

Pei Yuanshao immediately resigned and left quickly on his horse. At this time, Liu Zheng was also guessing who was ambushing him here.

When he was in Nanyang City before, he also asked Zhao Hong about some news about Jiangxia County.

Before Liu Zheng came, Zhao Hong led people to storm Jiangxia County several times, but because Zhang Mancheng took away a large number of troops, only Zhao Hong was left with [-] to [-] old and weak soldiers. Relying on these old and weak soldiers, Zhao Hong did not attack Jiangxia County at all. down.

However, although Zhao Hong did not take down Jiangxia City, he had a better understanding of some situations in Jiangxia City. He knew that after the death of Nanyang prefect Qin Jie, the court sent a new person to act as Jiangxia prefect.

This new prefect is probably the one who ambushed him this time.

"Let Huang Zhong come to see me quickly."

Liu Zheng thought for a while, and then said something to the soldiers around him, who responded immediately and took orders.

Not long after, Huang Zhong hurried over.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well, Brother Huang Zhong, although you are from Nanyang, I see that your surname is Huang. This Jiangxia Huang family is a wealthy family. I wonder if you have any intersection with this Jiangxia Huang family?"

Liu Zheng thought that since the new prefect would send someone to ambush him, he would definitely need the help of Jiangxia's local wealthy family, and Jiangxia's most famous is the Jiangxia Huang family. Liu Zheng didn't know much about the Huang family, so naturally he had to ask Huang Zhong for a question or two. .

When Huang Zhong heard that Liu Zheng was asking this, his expression immediately softened a lot.

"My lord, although I am from Nanyang, in fact, I am also half of Jiangxia, because our Huang family all come from Jiangxia. His Shangshu Ling was once appreciated by Emperor He. His son Huang Qiong and great-grandson Huang Wan were all officials to Taiwei, and they are famous all over the world."

"Our Nanyang Huang family is from Huang Qiong's lineage. It moved from Jiangxia to Nanyang more than 30 years ago."

In fact, when Huang Zhongyi mentioned the name Huang Xiang, Liu Zheng had heard of it a little bit. It wasn't that he had heard of the name after traveling to the Three Kingdoms.

But when he was very young, Liu Zheng read a book called 24 filial piety.

One of the protagonists in it is Huang Xiang. In the story of 24 Filial Piety, there is a fan named Wenqin.

This story tells that during the Han Dynasty, the mother of the dutiful son Huang Xiang died young, but he was educated and reasonable. In the hot summer, he used a fan to cool the mat to let his father sleep.In winter, I first got into the bed to warm the quilt and let my father sleep.When he was the prefect of Wei County, there was a flood in the local area. He used his salary and family property to help the victims.People called him: "Unparalleled in the world, Jiangxia Huangxiang."

And this Huang Xiang is the founder of the Jiangxia Huang Clan.

Right now, Huang Zhong said that their Nanyang Huang family is also a branch of Jiangxia Huang's family, but Liu Zheng nodded slightly. It seems that there are not a few such families with branches and leaves.

"Then it will be easy. If my guess is correct, most of the people who ambushed me in Jiangxia this time are related to Jiangxia's Huang clan. After we meet those Huang clan members, General Lao Huang Zhong will act as an intermediary for me. Tell them that we have no intention of becoming enemies with the people of Jiangxia, we just pass by here, we don't need to fight each other, and we will live in peace."

Liu Zheng wasn't afraid of these people who ambushed him, but after learning that Huang Zu was also a member of the Jiangxia Huang clan, he didn't plan to take the initiative to attack, but wanted to sell a favor to Huang Zhong.

Chapter 139 Seeing Through

Huang Zhong knew Liu Zheng's strength. If Liu Zheng let these Jiangxia Huang clan members go for Huang Zhong's sake, Huang Zhong would remember Liu Zheng's kindness to some extent.

And Liu Zheng himself is not very interested in these people who ambushed him, so both parties are happy, so why not do it.

"Ambush ahead?"

When Huang Zhong heard Liu Zheng's words, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to say such a sentence.

At this time, Huang Zhong didn't know that there was a group of people ambushing them not far from Jiangxia City.

When Pei Yuanshao came to report the information, Huang Zhong was still at the back of the team and didn't know these things. Hearing Liu Zheng's words at this time, Huang Zhong was very interested.

"My lord, what is the specific situation, what ambush?"

Huang Zhong asked immediately, he was still more interested in Jiang Xia's affairs, the ancients were like this, there was still some concern among the clansmen.

Liu Zheng didn't tell Huang Zhong directly about Huang Zhong's inquiry at this time, but simply described it to Huang Zhong.

"It should be not far ahead, and you will know in a while."

Liu Zheng led his men and horses. Although the marching speed was not fast, they walked all the way, and they were not far from Jiangxia City.

Not long after, Liu Zheng and others brought [-] soldiers and horses to the place where Huang Zu led people to set up an ambush.

Huang Zu's men, Chen Jiu and Deng Long quickly approached Huang Zu.

"My lord, those yellow turban thieves have arrived, not far ahead. Just wait for them to enter the ambush circle, our people can suddenly rush out, first let off a burst of rockets to disturb them, and then we will take advantage of their army's chaos. If you come out suddenly, you will definitely be able to severely defeat these thieves!"

Chen came to Huang Zu's side from afar and gave Huang Zu a detailed plan.

Chen Ju and Deng Long were recruited by Huang Zu and won Huang Zu's trust. After Huang Zu was reused by Liu Xiang, Chen Ju and Deng Long followed suit and became Huang Zu's right-hand man.

"Very good, just wait for those thieves to get close to our ambush site, we can beat him to death and demonstrate the strength of our Jiangxia County!"

After hearing Chen Jiu's answer, Huang Zu's face was also full of pride. Although Liu Zheng and the others hadn't caused too much harm, at this time Liu Zheng and others began to enter the burden circle, which made Huang Zu feel that he was a winner. I'm holding it.

Huang Zu watched Liu Zheng and others gradually enter the encirclement, but Liu Zheng's army suddenly stopped in front of him.

The army stopped abruptly and did not take a step forward, which made Huang Zu anxious.

"What's going on? Could it be that those guys have discovered our siege and ambush?"

Huang Zu's heart skipped a beat, if Liu Zheng's people had discovered the ambush in advance, then everything they did here would be in vain.

Just when Huang Zu was still hesitating whether he had been discovered, Liu Zheng in the distance shouted loudly at where Huang Zu was.

"Who is hiding in front, please report your name?"

As soon as Liu Zheng uttered these words, the faces of Huang Zu, Chen Jiu, Deng Long and others who were hiding here immediately sank.

From the moment Liu Zheng said this, they could already see that the other party already knew what they were setting up an ambush here.

"Oops, my lord, our plan has been exposed. The other party seems to know that we are setting up an ambush here."

Huang Zuchen and Deng Long's faces were ugly, and another general with a red turban standing behind him spoke immediately.

"Su Fei, aren't you talking nonsense? Hearing what Liu Zheng said, it's hard for me to guess that we have been discovered?"

Su Fei's sudden opening didn't get Huang Zu's praise, but Huang Zu complained.
