After Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses back to the county seat, he paid close attention to Liu Zheng's dynamics.

However, what Lu Bu didn't expect was that Liu Zheng, who occupied the pontoon bridge and opened the passage of Jiangxia County, did not invade Jiangxia on a large scale because of this, nor did he lead soldiers and horses to besiege the city.

Rather, they just built a camp by the river, and it seems that they only wanted to occupy a pontoon bridge and build a crossing.

Such a move made Lu Bu quite surprised, he originally thought that his father-in-law Ding Yuan's first retreat should be able to get some effect, but he didn't expect that Liu Zheng seemed to understand that his men and horses were unlikely to compete head-on with Ding Yuan's cavalry, but he did not show any rhythm to attack.

The two sides are at a stalemate again, and the war is like this, sometimes a big war can be fought for several years, a few months, a few years, that's it, without the certainty of victory and absolute confidence, the coach will not attack easily.

Anyway, Liu Zheng and Ding Yuan are not short of food, and they don't need to solve the battle in a short time, so it has become the best choice to consume it.

They are all waiting.

Ding Yuan was waiting for Zhang Liao and Huang Zu's men and horses to eliminate Yuan Shu and pacify Nanyang and Runan.

Liu Zheng was waiting for his killer Xu Huang's cavalry to come from Jiaozhou, as long as Xu Huang's cavalry arrived, Liu Zheng was not afraid of encountering Lu Bu's men in the field.

Although Ding Yuan and Liu Zheng are not in a hurry, but Yuan Yao is in a hurry, he knows best what his father's situation is in Runan, Zhang Liao and Huang Zu's men and horses, there are 30,000 people, while fighting Yuan Shu and retreating, most of Nanyang has fallen, and now only Runan is left.

If it is delayed for ten days and a half months, I am afraid that Runan will not be guaranteed, and it will really be too late by then.

But in the battle that happened at the ferry, Yuan Yao also experienced it personally, and understood the strength of Lu Bu, and also knew the strength of Ding Yuan's cavalry.

In fact, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yuan Yao knew the power of these cavalry, and the reason why Zhang Liao and Huang Zu's men and horses were able to do so fast and quickly with hundreds of Yuan Shu was precisely because Zhang Liao had 10,000 cavalry under him.

Yuan Shu had no cavalry, most of them were infantry and archers, and these soldiers and horses had no room to fight back when they encountered the charge of cavalry.

A few charges became a rout, and in the end they could only retreat in the county town and defend the city, but Zhang Liao's men, in addition to the cavalry, also had Huang Zu's 20,000 infantry.

These people, used to attack the city, are also completely sufficient, they pick soft persimmons to pinch, and outside the small county towns, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses in the city do not dare to pursue at all.

If you blindly defend like this, you will be defeated sooner or later.

Yuan Yao's residence.

"Sister, now Liu Zheng's people are trapped here again and don't move, my brother can't convince Liu Zheng anymore, I can only rely on you."

Yuan Yao wanted to get Liu Zheng to send troops as soon as possible, but he went to Liu Zheng one after another, always asking Liu Zheng for words, Yuan Yao was also worried that Liu Zheng would have some disgust with him, so he could only hit his sister Yuan Rou with his idea.

"Big brother, sister, I'm just a woman, how can I say that Liu Zheng can be moved."

Yuan Rouren is as her name suggests, not only is she good-looking and gentle, but even her voice is soft and soft.

"You can do it, then Liu Zheng likes this set the most, tonight the eldest brother sent you into Liu Zheng's military tent, you are ready to dedicate yourself, as long as you have a good thing with that Liu Zheng, blow the pillow wind in his ears, presumably it is impossible for Liu Zheng not to agree."

Yuan Yao told his sister Yuan Rou about his idea, and Yuan Rou suddenly blushed.

Although Yuan Rou was only sixteen years old at this time, as a woman from a big family, she was normally sensible at this age, and the elders in the family had already taught some things between the bed.

Yuan Rou naturally understood what Yuan Yao meant, that is, she wanted her to sacrifice her hue and ask Liu Zheng.

Although Yuan Rou blushed a little, she already knew what she was here for and what she was here for, so she still nodded.

"I just do my best."

Seeing that Yuan Rou agreed, Yuan Yao was also overjoyed, and quietly sent Yuan Rou in that night when there was no one in Liu Zheng's camp.

Of course, the so-called sent in, but only after the inspection of the guards, let Yuan Rou enter Liu Zheng's big tent.

At this time, Liu Zheng had not come back, and was still discussing with the generals in the military tent, and only when the night was getting late and Liu Zheng was a little tired, did he return to his camp.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Rou, who was sitting on his bed shyly.

In this winter, Yuan Rou was only wearing a very light gauze dress, and her young body exuding youthful breath was vaguely displayed in front of Liu Zheng's eyes.

Liu Zheng saw it, first surprised, and then retracted his gaze, although he did not reject this kind of thing, but after having Cai Yao and Zhang Duyu, he was not the kind of fledgling young man, and he didn't have the strength to do so.

"Yuan Rou, why are you here?"

Liu Zheng asked, did not take the initiative to stand on the bed, but walked to the chair on the side, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a glass of water.

Yuan Rou was a little deer in her heart at this time, she only thought that after Liu Zheng came in, there would be something between them about men and women that her mother had told her, and she was a little nervous, but she didn't expect that Liu Zheng would ask her some questions at this time.

Lowering her head shyly, Yuan Rou calmed herself down, and still answered Liu Zheng.

"I ...... My eldest brother said, "Let me serve the adults." ”

"Oh, it's Yuan Yao's kid's idea, in fact, he doesn't have to do this, I already told you that day, I helped your father, not because of you."

Liu Zheng heard Yuan Rou's answer and nodded, in fact, he had roughly guessed in his heart that this must be Yuan Yao's idea behind his back.

"I know that the adults sent troops to rescue my father, and it has nothing to do with me, but since the eldest brother and father have asked me to marry an adult as a concubine, then Yuan Rou will be an adult in this life, and the concubine is also obliged to serve the adult."

Yuan Rou exhaled like an orchid, although her voice was small, but the words she said were really good.

Liu Zheng drank the tea in his hand, and then exhaled.

"I know, you're worried about your father, in fact, I'm also worried that Yuan Shu and I have a good relationship, so I naturally don't want to see him suffer, otherwise I would have one less ally."

"But in this situation, you also know that Ding Yuan has sent heavy troops to guard here, even if it is me, if I want to bring someone over to support your father, it will be difficult, and if I am not careful, the whole army will be wiped out."
