The reason why Liu Zheng took a fancy to Changsha County was actually because of the situation here, and a large number of counties were occupied by Shanyue people. disobeys the control of the court, just like a ruffian bandit.

And what Liu Zheng needs is this, only in such a place can his men and horses be enough to avoid being conscripted by the army of the imperial court.

As soon as Liu Zheng said this, Cai Yao quickly reacted, and looked at Liu Zheng and smiled.

"Then I'm going to follow you over to take a look, I heard that Changsha County and Yuzhang County have beautiful scenery, lakes and mountains are very beautiful, there was no chance yet, but now there is a chance, how can I let it go."

Cai Yao quickly rushed to Liu Zheng to say a word.

Liu Zheng had already returned to Cai Yao's thoughts at the beginning, so when he heard Cai Yao say this at this time, he did not refuse.

"Then you can follow us, I guess it won't be long before we set off."

After Liu Zheng finished talking to Cai Yao, he quickly continued to get busy.

After all, he still has a lot to do, two thousand cavalry is the most elite part of Liu Zheng's army, these people, Liu Zheng wants them to act as an advance force, led by Pei Yuanshao, to explore the way around.

At the same time, the blacksmith's workshop left in Runan must also be completely taken away, and if it cannot be taken away, it must also be damaged. After all, Liu Zheng has too many secrets in the hands of these blacksmiths, not only the forging of weapons, but also the stirrup.

The role of stirrups has a huge influence on the current era, Liu Zheng has gone through so many battles, and has clearly felt how much these stirrups are of great help to the cavalry, and Liu Zheng deliberately hid the stirrups in the battle.

As a result, after so many battles, it seems that the other princes have not yet discovered the existence of the stirrup, so that Liu Zheng can still hide this killer feature for a while.

Except for the blacksmith to take away, there is nothing else worthy of Liu Zheng's nostalgia here, after all, he himself has nothing to be nostalgic for here, and it only took one day for Liu Zheng to start evacuating from Runan City with people.

The first place to go south from Runan City to Changsha County is Nanyang County.

Although Liu Zheng could also go directly down from Runan City, to Jiangxia County, and then to Changsha, he still decided to make another trip to Nanyang, after all, there was another remnant of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang.

Zhao Hong still has tens of thousands of horses in Nanyang, although Zhao Hong's men and Liu Zheng cannot be confused, but they are more or less allies, although Liu Zheng is now going to break away from the Yellow Turban Army, but Zhao Hong can still continue to maintain a good relationship and fight against the imperial court together.

When Liu Zheng came to Nanyang with his people, Zhao Hong had already received the news and received Liu Zheng smoothly, but he did not give Liu Zheng a good face.

Because after Sun Xia left Liu Zheng's side, he returned directly to Nanyang and told Zhao Hong the news that Liu Zheng was breaking away from the Yellow Turban Army.

Although Zhao Hong was very angry when he learned that Liu Zheng and the others planned to break away from the Yellow Turban Army, he also knew that the current Yellow Turban Army no longer had the ability to fight against the Han Dynasty, and the remaining remnants of the Yellow Turban Party could only go their own way.

On the surface, it seems that they all belong to the Yellow Turban lineup, but in fact, they are scattered, which can be said to be no different from breaking away from the Yellow Turban Army.

However, although Zhao Hong was angry at Liu Zheng's direct statement that he had broken away from the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Hong knew that Liu Zheng was powerful, and was extremely shocked to learn from Sun Xia's mouth that Liu Zheng actually attacked Luoyang, entered Luoyang City and captured the crown prince Liu Wei alive.

Before thinking of it, Liu Zheng captured Qin Jie alive in the Nanyang area, killed Zhu Jun and a series of performances, this great feats made Zhao Hong also think of the terrible character of Liu Zheng, so although he felt angry at Liu Zheng, it was not good to have a stiff relationship with Liu Zheng.

Under the current situation, Zhao Hong can only get along with Liu Zheng and Liu Zheng, and strive to be able to form an alliance with Liu Zheng, so that they will not be so passive in this troubled world.

Liu Zheng naturally understood what Zhao Hong meant, in fact, he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with Zhao Hong, the two were more or less friends, and in the absence of allies, a small person like Zhao Hong could be regarded as a good ally.

Liu Zheng and Zhao Hong met in Nanyang City. Liu Zheng told Zhao Hong about the current pattern of the world, and asked Zhao Hong to pay attention to it, if there are imperial soldiers and horses, they will not be able to defeat them, and try their best to abandon the town and lead people to hide in the mountains and wait for opportunities.

Where there is life, there is hope.

This is Liu Zheng's advice to Zhao Hong, although Liu Zheng doesn't know if Zhao Hong's gang can listen to it, but that's all he can do, if Zhao Hong and others still want to go against the imperial court and continue to use the remnants of the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses to continue to attack the imperial court and counties.

It will definitely cause the jealousy of the imperial court, and when the time comes, a large army will be formed again to come over to crusade, and now that Jizhou Zhang Jiao is dead, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party are not to worry at all, and the imperial court can easily regain the lost territory by sending a large army to kill the Yellow Turban Remnants.

A few hours later, Liu Zheng bid farewell to Zhao Hong and others in Nanyang, and then directly changed the route from Jiangxia County all the way to Changsha County.

From Nanyang County to the south, there are two roads that lead to Changsha County, one is to go east to Jiangxia, and the other is to go west to South County.

However, these two roads can't erase the place of Dongting Lake, and Liu Zheng himself also took a fancy to the waters of Dongting Lake this time, so he simply divided his men and horses into two roads.

A part of the people who were familiar with the nature of the water were separated, found some boats, and let them pass through the Han River, go south directly, use the river, and go to Changsha County first to find out the news for Liu Zheng.

Those who were not familiar with the water nature went to Changsha directly with Liu Zheng's army, through Jiangxia's official road, and went directly to Changsha.

Although this distance is only separated by two counties, it is still hundreds of miles, and it would take several days to reach the speed of such a large number of horses.

Liu Zheng left from Nanyang with his men and horses, and two days later, arrived in Jiangxia County.

When passing through Jiangxia County, Liu Zheng did not take people to Jiangxia City, but took the road to go, Jiangxia because of the loss of Qin Jie and other officials and soldiers of the guard, and was repeatedly attacked by Zhang Mancheng's men and horses, the population here is not much, and later was attacked by Zhao Hong's men and horses several times.

Although it was not completely occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Hong also came to Jiangxia to loot several times, so Jiangxia City at this time had no significance for Liu Zheng.
