After Zhou Xin took office in Danyang, according to Wang Lang's instructions, he began to vigorously reform, and recruited people while consulting the bandit forces near Danyang County.

It can be said that in the entire Yangzhou, except for Huainan, which has the most soldiers and horses, the rest is Danyang.

All over Danyang County, there are more than a dozen county seats, and each county has at least 3,000 garrisons, and the number of troops is superimposed, more than 40,000.

Of course, the number of people who can get together and attack the whole team is only 30,000.

These 30,000 people, at the beginning, although they were distributed all over Danyang County, but after Liu Zheng's army entered Poyang County, Zhou Xin, who received the news, quickly brought together soldiers and horses from all over the country, and now has at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in Danyang County.

With so many horses, although they did not go out to Huainan to support Liu Jian because they were afraid of Liu Zheng, part of the reason was that Zhou Xin knew that Liu Zheng's first step was to attack Danyang, so in order to protect himself, he could only guard the entire state and county.

Zhou Xin really thought too much, Liu Zheng did capture Poyang, and the next target was Danyang, but Danyang's troops, after being detected by Liu Zheng, really made Liu Zheng feel tricky.

Compared with Yuzhang, Poyang's tricks, this Danyang County, I am afraid that it will be a hard battle, and it will be a little difficult to rely on the soldiers who surrender without a fight.

After all, Zhou Xin's subordinates have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and these 30,000 people, but the genuine Danyang soldiers, can bring Zhou Xin a lot of confidence.

In addition, Wang Lang, who was in Huiji County before, because when Huiji County was breached, he fled with Liu Xiang and also came to Danyang.

These days, Liu Zheng did not directly attack Danyang, but only let Huang Zhong lead his own troops and horses, and Chen soldiers were on the border between Danyang and Poyang, in order to be ready to launch an attack at any time and put some pressure on Zhou Xin.

"Master, General Wenpin sent an urgent report to Master."

Not long after Liu Zheng sent Yang Hong and the others away, Zhou Yu ran over panting and looking for Liu Zheng.

"Yu'er, isn't Wen Ping still staying in Poyang Town, what information did he send me?"

"Master, General Wenpin said that there was an urgent matter, and that there was a transfer of troops and horses in the imperial court, which was aimed at us, so let Master prepare early!"

Zhou Yu soon came to Liu Zheng and handed Liu Zheng a report.

Liu Zheng took the report from Zhou Yu's hand, opened it and read it immediately.

This look immediately made Liu Zheng's face a little gloomy.

What was written in the newspaper was the news sent by Wen Ping, who was stationed in Poyang from among the merchant ships that came and went on Poyang Lake, from all over the country.

Naturally, the envoy sent from Luoyang to Yanzhou, and the truce between Cao Cao and Liu Dai and others in Yanzhou was also known to the people who hired them.

Liu Zheng's meticulous work in Yanzhou brought the news that Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others were reorganizing their troops and horses and secretly advancing in the direction of Yangzhou.

The information is not detailed, but it also gives the general situation of Cao Cao and others.

Cao Cao's headquarters of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Miao's headquarters of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, composed of 50,000 troops have moved south from Chenliu County at this time.

They only need to use Dao Qian County to directly conquer Huainan County, and they can directly connect with Liu Zheng's Poyang, and when the time comes, Liu Zheng will have to directly compete with the armies of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others.

Of course, the intelligence also said that Liu Dai prepared 30,000 soldiers and horses, and also went to Huainan County from north to south.

The above report did not tell that Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others were coming for Liu Zheng, but only said that they were rushing to Huainan County, presumably for Yuan Shu's military transfer, after all, Yuan Shu killed the state pastor of the Han Dynasty, which caused public anger, especially Liu Miao is still Liu Dai's own brother, and it is normal for Liu Dai to send troops.

The forces of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Liu Dai gathered more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, and were approaching in the direction of Huainan County.

The purpose is obvious, that is, to deal with Yuan Shu, who has just killed Liu Xuan and occupied Huainan County.

But others may not care, but Liu Zheng cares unusually, and he knows this matter too well.

To deal with a Yuan Shu, there is no need to make a big move, Yuan Shu is only thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, even if you count some of the soldiers and horses that Yuan Shu put in the old nest, it will be fifty or sixty thousand people, and it is not necessary to deal with Yuan Shu with so many soldiers and horses, in Liu Zheng's opinion, Cao Cao's own more than 20,000 people can easily defeat Yuan Shu.

But now not only Cao Cao dispatched more than 20,000 people, but also led Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others to form an army of 80,000.

Then don't say it's Yuan Shu, even Liu Zheng will be wiped out by these 80,000 troops.

Such a military action immediately attracted Liu Zheng's target, because he could see from the military movements of these people that the target of Cao Cao and others was not Yuan Shu at all, but him Liu Zheng.

"Quick, let Huang Zhong withdraw his troops from Danyang County and follow me to Huainan immediately!"

When this news was delivered to Liu Zheng, a few days had passed, and a few days were enough for Cao Cao and others to go south from Yanzhou to Huainan.

Liu Zheng was really worried, he was too late, but he was afraid that Yuan Shu would not be able to stop the attack of Cao Cao and others at all, and he would already be killed.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although Yuan Shu is not a very good ally, in Liu Zheng's opinion, no matter how you look at it, he is the one who is currently in the same boat as Liu Zheng.

If Yuan Shu is defeated by Cao Cao and others, then next, Cao Cao and others will definitely come to fight Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng will not not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

But he had just given the order, and then he immediately remembered something, and turned and shouted at the other guard.

"You, immediately go to Wu County to give Yan Baihu that guy an order, let Yan Baihu launch an attack on Danyang County with all his might, I don't want him to take Danyang County, as long as he restrains the people of Danyang County, just say that after the matter is completed, I will give him a generous gift in return!"

Liu Zheng suddenly thought that if the troops were withdrawn from Danyang County like this, Zhou Xin and Wang Lang would definitely be suspicious in their hearts, and they would definitely send someone to find out the news, once Zhou Xin and Wang Lang knew that Cao Cao and Liu Dai and others were sending troops to attack Huainan County, then Wang Lang and Zhou Xin would probably make some small moves behind their backs.

In case, when Liu Zheng was concentrating on dealing with Cao Cao and the others, Zhou Xin and Wang Lang suddenly came out from behind and killed Liu Zheng by surprise, even if they did not cause serious damage to Liu Zheng, just the extra tens of thousands of horses were enough to cause huge pressure on Liu Zheng.
