Zhang Liao did not attack rashly, but here in Wulin, waiting for Liu Qi's army to come from the rear.

Only when Liu Qi's men and horses arrive here and raise troops together, can Zhang Liao be sure that he can ask for some benefits in front of Gan Ning, otherwise, with the current few people, they are not the opponent of the other party at all.

Inside the city of Ullin.

Su Fei and Pan Lin, who fled back to the city, looked nervous at this time, this time, they led an army of 20,000 people out, originally just went to Hanyang City to patrol and call for battle as usual, but they didn't expect Zhang Liao to catch them off guard.

Now the loss of troops and generals, 20,000 troops, more than half of the loss, this is not good news for Su Fei and Pan Lin.

Gan Ning and Zu Lang also looked displeased, they were originally weaker than Zhang Liao, but now they have lost 10,000 horses, and they are even weaker in terms of strength.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zu Lang didn't know the story, and after returning to the city, he immediately asked Pan Lin.

Among the 10,000 people lost, most of them were his sailors, after all, there was still a gap between the combat effectiveness of the navy and the infantry under Gan Ning.

Now it seems that Zu Lang is naturally still a little confused.

Pan Lin didn't know how to answer Zu Lang for a while, but he still had to explain it to Zu Lang.

"Big ...... My lord, we don't know why these enemy forces would suddenly attack our men and horses. ”

"According to the plan, General Su Fei and I came to the outside of Hanyang City with men and horses, but before we could set up the lineup, those enemy troops rushed up."

Pan Lin had a bitter face and explained to Zu Lang, explaining to Zu Lang the reasons why he would lose the battle.

After hearing this, Zu Lang's face turned blue with anger.

"Rubbish! If you can't do this thing, don't you know how to send some scouts, and now that we have lost so many soldiers and horses, how can we explain to Your Majesty now? ”

"Brother, don't you think this thing is strange?"

"Strange?"

Gan Ning said a word to Zu Lang, Zu Lang was stunned, turned his head to look at Gan Ning, and didn't know what Gan Ning meant by this.

"These days, we all come over like this, that Zhang Liao is closed most of the time, and he never thought about fighting us at all, why did he dare to bring men and horses to our Wulin County today, but he had the guts? Or does he have reinforcements under his command? ”

"No, didn't General Huang Zhong say it, then Ding Yuan of Jiangling has already cowered in Jiangling City, and he doesn't dare to come out, just these horses in Hanyang City are already the most people and horses that Jingzhou can take, where can he Zhang Liao find reinforcements."

Zu Lang had some doubts about what Gan Ning said, not because he doubted Gan Ning, but because he suspected that Zhang Liao should have no reinforcements.

Gan Ning nodded.

"If there are no reinforcements, what will he rely on to defeat us?"

"I don't know about this, but there must be some reinforcements here, we must hold Wulin, and immediately send someone to tell General Huang Zhong and ask him to bring someone over to support."

Zu Lang and Zu Lang discussed it.

And at the same time.

On the official road outside the city of Xiangyang City.

Liu Zheng had already led an army of 40,000 and approached Xiangyang City.

Killing all the way from Runan, Liu Zheng has already conquered Nanyang, and let Liu Pet lead his men and horses to defend Yuzhou.

The reason why Liu Zheng directly handed over the entire territory of Yuzhou to Liu Pet is that Liu Pet is a person here, and let him take the position, he can also control the territory of the entire Yuzhou more quickly, and at the same time, Liu Zheng also wants to test Liu Pet.

Let's see if Liu Pet is really refuge in him, if Liu Pet has two hearts, after getting Yuzhou, he will not settle down.

Liu Zheng can also take the opportunity to destroy Liu Pet and completely control the entire Yuzhou by himself.

Of course, since Liu Zheng dared to do this, he was not worried that Liu Chong would rebel, this time he came from Yuzhou, it was just a loan, even if the back road was blocked, it would not be of much use to Liu Zheng.

He already planned to directly besiege Xiangyang, and if he didn't succeed, he would go south along Xiangshui and besiege Hanyang.

Left and right are advantages for Liu Zheng. 、

Either take Xiangyang and then slowly come back to clean up Hanyang and Gangneung, or simply give up Xiangyang and take Hanyang and Gangneung first.

No matter what, for Liu Zheng, it is feasible.

"Your Majesty, there is Xiangyang City in front."

Xu Huang rode his horse to the front and returned, he had already taken his cavalry, acting as a cavalry first, and laid countless scouts near Xiangyang, and any wind and grass in this vicinity could not escape Xu Huang's eyes.

"Well, this is the second time I've come to Xiangyang, this time, no matter what, I'll knock Xiangyang City down!"

"As long as we defeat Xiangyang City and completely control Jingzhou, we will have the ability to approach the land of Gyeonggi."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this time, we have 40,000 elites, I have already inquired in advance, there are only 20,000 defenders left in this city, and with our siege, this Xiangyang City cannot be defended at all."

"Actually, we are besieging the city, not really to fight to the death with Liu Chuan in this Xiangyang, but to besiege the city and send reinforcements, Xu Huang, you immediately send your cavalry to Xiangyang City to Jiangling, Hanyang direction stationed, once you find reinforcements, immediately go to attack the people who come to support Xiangyang."

"After Xiangyang is surrounded by us, it will be a dead city, don't worry, as long as the other people are destroyed, the entire Jingzhou will be in my hands."

Liu Zheng admonished Xu Huang.

The army continued on its way.

Xu Huang took the order.

Not long after Xu Huang received the order, his cavalry had just been arranged, and the people under his command immediately came with the news that on the road from Jiangling City to Xiangyang, there was a cavalry, not many people, only 5,000 people, but they were rapidly approaching Xiangyang.

After several scouts passed this news to Xu Huang's mouth, Xu Huang didn't dare to delay and immediately told Liu Zheng the news.

When Liu Zheng heard this, he naturally understood that this was Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, and he was going to gallop from Jiangling to Xiangyang.

"Quick, Gongming, you immediately lead the cavalry to cut off these people who support Xiangyang, you must not let them reach Xiangyang, Wentai, you lead the people of the headquarters to go to the intersection of Hanyang, intercept the people who support Xiangyang from Hanyang, and no one can let them come."

After Liu Zheng learned of these news, he immediately ordered his men to disperse tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress all parts of Jingzhou, and possibly come to support the army in Xiangyang.

After Xu Huang and Sun Jian received the order, they went down immediately.
