Lu Zhi and Liu Bei had already discussed a plan to attack the west.

Although their 100,000 army started from Chenliu, passed through Chen Guo and went south to Jiujiang County, it seemed that the 100,000 army was coming towards Jiujiang County.

In fact, when Jiujiang County is about to be finished, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's men and horses will be separated, and the troops will be divided into two ways.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan continued to go south and attack Jiujiang, while Lu Zhi took some cavalry and elites from his headquarters to reroute from Peiguo and directly kill Xuzhou.

Lu Zhi and Liu Bei had already inquired clearly, Liu Zheng was in Xuzhou, and there was only one elite, which was Tai Shici's 20,000 horses.

Although there are still some scattered county soldiers all over Xuzhou, Xuzhou has just been occupied by Liu Zheng's men and horses for a short time, and the dominance in Xuzhou is not strong.

The only thing they need to pay attention to is Tai Shi Ci's 20,000 horses, but Lu Zhi led an army of 50,000 to breathe Xuzhou City, even if Tai Shi Ci has 20,000 people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop it.

Coupled with Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others' surprise attack on Huainan County, Liu Zheng's eyes must have been pinned down in Huainan, so that Xuzhou was isolated and helpless, and Lu Zhi could succeed in one fell swoop.

Of course, now that there are 30,000 people in Liu Chong, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have a greater certainty of going south to attack Huainan County.

Lu Zhi felt that the opportunity to seize Xuzhou had also come.

"It's Huainan in front, Xuande, let's start parting ways here."

Lu Zhi looked at the terrain, this place is relatively secret, it is all mountains and forests, Lu Zhi's army is rerouted from here, even if Liu Zheng's spies know that Liu Bei and Lu Zhibing are divided into two roads, they may not be able to think that Lu Zhi is heading for Xuzhou City.

Huainan City.

Liu Zheng led Xu Huang and Wen Ping's 10,000 people, and they arrived here two days ago.

The Taishou of Huainan County is called Liu Miao, and this person was the Taishou of Huainan County a long time ago, and after Liu Zheng's army arrived here, Liu Miao surrendered to Liu Zheng.

In order to express his benevolence, Liu Zheng did not abolish his position as the Taishou of Huainan, on the contrary, he felt that this person's management was not bad, so he continued to let him serve as the Taishou of Huainan.

This person Liu Zheng also did some investigation on it, this person is a member of the Han family, after Liu Jing, the king of Langya, he has an elder brother named Liu Rong, or the current king of Langya, but he is not a descendant, at the end of the Han Dynasty, because of the implementation of Emperor Wu's decree in the early years, the Han clan like him has basically lost the qualification to inherit the title, so he can only go out to make a living.

Liu Miao relied on his ability to do Huainan County step by step, although the martial arts are mediocre, but the management of internal affairs is still quite good, after several wars under his management, it is thriving and thriving.

However, after all, he is a member of the Han family and has some nostalgia for the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to completely focus on Liu Zheng, so after Liu Zheng led his men and horses to Huainan County, he took over the city defense affairs of Huainan County, and Liu Miao and others were responsible for managing the daily life of the people in the city.

Everything in the city, big and small, needs to be asked by Liu Zheng.

For this, Liu Miao naturally knows the truth, he didn't refuse, he just did his part.

After Wen Pin took over the city defense affairs, he took over the original 5,000 men and horses in Huainan County. was barely able to raise an army of nearly 40,000 in Huainan City, and it must be foolproof to have 40,000 horses to defend Huainan City.

When the soldiers and horses of Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others appeared outside Huainan City, the black crowd surrounded the entire Huainan City wall.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan did not expect to fight a protracted battle with Liu Zheng's men and horses here, so they did not plan to encircle the entire Huainan City, Huainan City is close to Huaishui, with three city walls, one side is on the bank of the river, in fact, even if it is surrounded, only three city walls can be surrounded.

With the strength of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses of King Chen and Liu Chong, there are 80,000 troops when assembled, if you can fight a protracted war with Liu Zheng here, you will definitely be able to gain some advantages, after all, the people in Huainan City do not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

However, in order to cooperate with Lu Zhi, Liu Bei planned to attack Huainan City.

Even if he may not be able to capture Huainan City, he must make some movement so that the news of their attack on Huainan will be known to Liu Zheng.

However, when Liu Bei and his party appeared under Huainan City, they were surprised to see that Liu Zheng actually went directly to Huainan, and it seemed that they had already received the news that they would come to attack.

Seeing his old acquaintance Liu Zheng, Liu Bei obviously had some surprise on his face.

However, before he could say hello to Liu Zheng on the city tower, Liu Zheng on the city tower had already said hello to Liu Bei first.

"Liu Xuande, what do you want to do when you bring tens of thousands of troops to my Huainan City?"

Although everyone knew it, Liu Zheng didn't open his mouth and scolded Liu Bei for bringing people here to attack him, and he also wanted to think about it with Liu Bei to see if he could avoid this battle as much as possible.

After all, what Liu Zheng wants more is to go north to snipe Yuan Shao, if Liu Bei and these people can retreat in the face of difficulties, then everyone will be happy, if Liu Bei wants to attack Huainan City, then Liu Zheng can only fight.

Hearing Liu Zheng's inquiry, Liu Bei showed a smile on his face.

"Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, I was ordered by the imperial court to come to suppress the thieves, and join the general of the cavalry to crusade against you, since you are here, then put it on the table, now I have joined the general of the cavalry to lead an army of 100,000 to Huainan, if you are interested, you will go out of the city and surrender, otherwise when you break the city, it will be the time when your soul returns to the world."

Although Liu Bei is benevolent, he never talks about benevolence and righteousness for a thief like Liu Zheng, and his benevolence to others is cruelty to himself.

Liu Zhengzai heard Liu Bei's words, but he smiled faintly, he knew that Liu Bei and the others were not good, but he didn't expect to tear his face so quickly.

Wen Ping, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, couldn't listen to Liu Bei's words, and immediately shouted at the city.

"Bold Liu Bei, the truce agreement made with us in Qingzhou has only been less than a year now, and you will tear up the agreement, are you so shameless?"

Wen Ping's words were naturally scolded, and the voice was loud, which immediately made Liu Bei under the city and the soldiers and horses behind Liu Bei a little commotion.

However, Liu Bei ignored Wen Ping's scolding.

just said lightly to Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zheng, your subordinates are too undisciplined, let's talk, is it his turn to interject? Oh, you're all from bandits, and it's normal that you don't know how to do it. ”

Liu Bei first mocked Liu Zheng's people, and then said.
