"Why not? That Liu Zheng is only 20,000 horses, and in the past two months, his people have been dealing with those Shanyue tribes, and there must be some damage, no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and we have transferred 40,000 people from various states and counties here in the past two months, plus those men and horses under your command, in Huiji City, we have at least 60,000 elites who can be mobilized. ”

"Could it be that we have 60,000 people, and we are still afraid of Liu Zheng's 20,000 horses?"

Liu Jian faced Sun Jian's dissuasion, and immediately showed a displeased look, although he knew Liu Zheng's strength, it was indeed good, but now he had several times as many soldiers and horses as Liu Zheng, so if he couldn't defeat Liu Zheng, then Liu Xiang really had no choice.

"No, my lord, we are not afraid of Liu Zheng, but we know that this is Liu Zheng's plan, if we take the initiative to attack, wouldn't it be in line with his intentions?"

"I'm not saying that we can't attack, but we have to plan a response to Liu Zheng."

Sun Jian's explanation made Liu Xuan's face look better.

"So, you already have a plan for it?"

"There is a way, but if you want to succeed, it is not easy, and you still need the cooperation of Lord Liu Xuan."

"Just say."

"Since Liu Zheng is camped outside the city of Huiji, then we simply besiege him from the rear, we only need to let our people cut off Liu Zheng's grain and grass from the rear, there is no grain and grass, I think Liu Zheng's people are still here to confront us, and when the time comes, when he runs out of food, it will be the time for us to pursue him."

Sun Jian thought that Liu Zheng was a long journey after all, all the way from Jiaozhou to Huiji County, although it was not very far from Jiaozhou, but the transportation of grain and grass was not easy.

For such a long distance, Liu Zheng wanted to transport the grain from Jiaozhou here, and he needed a lot of soldiers and horses to escort him, which is why Liu Zheng was willing to advance slowly and clean up the entire southern part of Huiji County.

As long as Liu Zheng sent someone to cut off Liu Zheng's grain transportation route, Liu Zheng's 20,000 troops could not hold out for ten days and half a month, and there would be a shortage of grain and grass, and 20,000 soldiers and horses would be able to collapse without a fight.

"Wonderful, Wentai, I'll see how Liu Zheng solves it from the fact that you are a capable person, such a clever plan, and I will leave this matter to you to do."

Liu Jian immediately implemented the plan proposed by Sun Jian.

After Sun Jian had Liu Xuan's answer, he nodded and began to instruct his subordinates to prepare.

Several of his right-hand men, except for Huang Gai, who was captured by Liu Zheng that day, the rest of the people followed him back to Fuchun's hometown, and are still by his side to assist him.

When Sun Jian returned to his hometown of Fuchun, he immediately issued an order to his right-hand men Cheng Pu and Han Xia, asking them to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to quietly leave from Fuchun County and go to the south of Huiji County to secretly cut off Liu Zheng's transportation route.

This method of going around behind enemy lines and attacking local grain routes is extremely dangerous, because you don't know where the other party's traffic road is, how many people escort it, and the news is not easy to transmit.

"Cheng Pu, Han Dang, this matter will be handed over to the two of you, remember, you must be cautious, if you can find the place where Liu Zheng and their transportation volume, cut off the line, and cut off them, if not, you will protect your own safety, and you must come back alive!"

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely complete your task!"

Cheng Pu understood how difficult the task given to him by Sun Jian was, but even though he understood that this task was difficult, Cheng Pu still firmly accepted this task.

"Okay, Cheng Pu, I'll rest assured that you're out of the horse, without further ado, you guys go now, I'll give you three days to find out the news, and on the fourth day, I will send troops to surround Liu Zheng's army, and then you will cut off his grain and grass."

"If we succeed, we can defeat Liu Zheng in one fell swoop, if we fail, no, we won't fail!"

Before Cheng Pu left, Sun Jian commanded Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu didn't say much, took Han Dang, and left from here, among the more than 10,000 people under Sun Jian, he gathered two thousand dead soldiers, and quietly left Fuchun.

Sun Jian was secretly preparing a battle plan against Liu Zheng, and on the other side, not far from the county seat of Huiji County, Liu Zheng was actually not idle, he was also preparing to deal with Liu Jian and Sun Jian.

"Lord, can we just place the army here, this is not far from the county of Huiji, if we kill it, we can kill it in less than half a day."

Wenpin stood by Liu Zheng's side, and in order to cultivate Wenpin's group of young generals, Liu Zheng took them with him for a long time, and he could be regarded as the first batch of main students.

"Kill to the city, Wen Ping, do you think that with our more than 10,000 men and horses, we can fight Huiji County?"

When Liu Zheng asked him this, Wen Ping was full of interest and just wanted to speak, but when he thought of Liu Zheng's question, he suddenly paused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After hesitating for a while, he continued.

"Of course you can, with the lord here, you will definitely be able to break Huiji City."

Obviously, this kid wanted to compliment Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly and didn't say much.

"If it is the same strength, I am still somewhat sure that I can defeat Huiji County, but I heard a report from the spies before, saying that Liu Xuan asked all the Taishou under his command to transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country to support Huiji County, in order to prevent our attack, Huiji County at this time has at least 60,000 soldiers and horses."

"It's not so easy to deal with the men and horses who are several times our size, even if it's not a siege war, our chances of winning are not great, not to mention, now that we are going to attack them, it is no different from looking for death."

Liu Zheng did a good job in intelligence work, and he was clearly aware of the concept that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, so every time before launching an attack on the enemy, he would send enough detailed work to the opponent's territory to inquire about the news.

And Yangzhou, which is very close to Jiaozhou, Liu Zheng's meticulous work is the largest number of dispatches, and it is the clearest place to inquire about the news.

"My lord, are we going to stand still here? Wouldn't this be able to take advantage of the enemy's battle? ”

"In fact, we stay here just under the guise of a real offensive and a different place."
