Chapter 70 Deployment

Dong Zhuo's appearance made Liu Zheng start to worry.

Dong Zhuo's name is also very familiar to Liu Zheng, after all, he is the one who single-handedly caused the withering of the Han family, it can be said that Dong Zhuo is the one who really ended the Han court.

He not only has a famous general under his command, but also has a powerful Xiliang Iron Horse, although Liu Zheng doesn't know if the current Dong Zhuo has the same strength as in the future.

But what he knew was that Dong Zhuo's powerful Xiliang Iron Cavalry would definitely appear on the battlefield with him.

And Liu Zheng had just trained the cavalry under his command, but he was about to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which made Liu Zheng quite nervous.

Although these cavalry have been somewhat effective now, in the face of the powerful Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Liu Zheng is still a little uncertain.

After all, it was Dong Zhuo who led the troops, and Dong Zhuo, although in Liu Zheng's impression, was just a middle-aged fat man with a fat head and big ears, but in fact, Dong Zhuo was really a man with great achievements, and when he was young, he was so brave that he was not the top military general in the Three Kingdoms period.

is definitely a first-class martial artist, in addition to his own good strength, he also has a strong control over the deployment of troops and sieges.

Such a fat man is a terrible fat man.

Compared with Cao Cao in the future, Dong Zhuo is now a more powerful enemy.

"20,000 people, 20,000 people, not Zhu Jun's 20,000 people, far more terrifying than Zhu Jun's 20,000 people!"

After Liu Zheng heard the news that his scout had reported to him, the whole person fell into deep thought.

But Zhou Cang didn't think so.

"Qu Shuai, what are you afraid of, at the beginning, we had 6,000 people, and we killed Zhu Jun's 20,000 people, and now our strength has risen greatly, and we have more than 30,000 people under our command, are we still afraid of the 20,000 army of the imperial court?"

"As long as we defeat these 20,000 people again, the imperial court is afraid that there is nothing we can do!"

Zhou Cang didn't understand Dong Zhuo's strength, so he wasn't afraid of Dong Zhuo at this time.

Liu Zheng didn't take Zhou Cang's words to heart, although his current strength was a great improvement compared to before.

30,000 people, compared with the previous 6,000 people, has changed greatly in numbers, but these 30,000 people are not the same as the elites under his command before, with complete weapons and battle-hardened skills.

Moreover, there is no cavalry under Zhu Jun's command, and Dong Zhuo is different, I am afraid that this time, half of the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought by Dong Zhuo are cavalry.

"For the time being, I don't know what will happen to the imperial court, but Dong Zhuo's army must have come to deal with us, Pei Yuanshao."

Liu Zheng thought for a while, and immediately shouted at Pei Yuanshao.

"The end will be."

Pei Yuanshao immediately stepped forward and took two steps and stood in response.

"You go to Nanyang quickly, say hello to the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng, and say that the imperial court has sent 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress us, and ask the divine envoy to send troops to support us immediately."

"Yes."

Pei Yuanshao took the order and left.

"Zhou Cang!"

"The end will be."

"You immediately send 5,000 soldiers and horses from the city to Shangcai County, be sure to block the footsteps of the official army in Shangcai County, but remember not to be invincible, if the enemy army is strong, I allow you to abandon the city and flee, and come back to Runan to join me."

"Yes!"

Zhou Cang was also ordered to leave.

After Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang left, Liu Zheng did not continue to speak, leaving Xu Huang alone here in a daze.

Xu Huang was a little anxious, couldn't help but glance at Liu Zheng angrily, and immediately opened his mouth to ask.

"What about me? Lao Pei and Lao Zhou already have work, what am I doing? ”

"You?"

Liu Zheng looked at Xu Huang and smiled indifferently.

"You follow me, let's go get a big one!"

"Make a big one? What do you mean? ”

Xu Huang didn't understand what Liu Zheng meant by this sentence, and immediately glanced at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng didn't explain to Xu Huang either.

Just smiled indifferently.

"When Dong Zhuo's people call, you'll know."

Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses came from the direction of Luoyang. The location of Luoyang is not far above Yingchuan County.

Going from Yingchuan County to Luoyang is even closer than going from Yingchuan County to Runan County.

If Liu Zheng can defeat Dong Zhuo in Yingchuan County, he can even take the opportunity to attack Luoyang directly from Yingchuan, which is why Bo chose to raise troops in Yingchuan.

Bocai's original idea was actually at the beginning of the uprising, directly around the Luoyang Imperial Capital, as long as the outermost wave of officials and troops was killed, they could directly enter Luoyang.

But this kind of thought was only in Liu Zheng's mind, and it was directly denied by himself in a flash.

Even if he can really lead people to kill outside Luoyang City, it is impossible to break into Luoyang City.

Not to mention the strength of their Yellow Turban Army, when attacking the city, there are not enough siege equipment, it must be extremely miserable, and if you want to enter Luoyang City, the city wall that is more than ten zhang high, just thinking about it feels that it is not very possible.

And even if he could avoid the guards of the eight passes around Luoyang and return to King Qin, the Praetorian Guards near Luoyang alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Those Praetorian Guards were the most elite soldiers and horses around the emperor. can be compared with the soldiers and horses under the three major Zhonglang generals, and the strength should not be underestimated.

And there are also soldiers and horses of the great general He Jin in Luoyang. The royal guards in the palace alone were enough to suppress the 30,000 people under Liu Zheng's command.

So Liu Zhengming knew that this was a huge temptation, and he still gave up the idea of attacking Luoyang. Instead, think about how to deal with Dong Zhuo, who is constantly attacking Runan in Yingchuan County.

In the following time, Liu Zheng quickly dispatched the cavalry under his command to inquire about Dong Zhuo's dynamics.

Dong Zhuo didn't, and hurriedly killed Runan City.

Maybe he knew that Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban soldiers and horses were different from other Yellow Turban Army. Dong Zhuo was quite cautious, step by step, advancing from Yingchuan County, and it took three days to approach Shangcai County.

Shangcai County, which was not recovered by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, but occupied by a group of golden remnants.

After the small group of Yellow Turban remnants with more than 2,000 people was taken over by Zhou Cang, who was sent by Liu Zheng, these Yellow Turban remnants joined Zhou Cang's command and obeyed Zhou Cang's dispatch in a unified manner.

Although Zhou Cang only brought 5,000 men and horses and rushed to Shangcai County. Arrange defensive measures in Shangcai County, and there is no problem in dealing with Dong Zhuo's attack next.

Three days later, Liu Zheng also took his elite troops to Shangcai County.

He didn't bring all the soldiers and horses, but only hundreds of cavalry and a group of newly trained archers.

Liu Zheng didn't plan to fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's men and horses in Shangcai City, and when he didn't know Dong Zhuo's strength, he fought to the death with the other party, just asking for his own death.
