Therefore, leaving aside the battalion of soldiers and horses in Zhou Cang, Liu Zheng can really control the elite who can be dispatched here, in fact, there are only 100,000 people.

In addition to these elite troops, there are nearly 20,000 people in Zulang's navy and 10,000 in Pan Lin's navy.

There are also some sub-soldiers recruited by the counties in various places, mainly the counties themselves are responsible for recruiting for patrols in the city, as well as reserve manpower.

Although these men do not have the combat experience of elite troops, the troops distributed by Liu Zheng are enough to feed the secondary soldiers and horses of some counties and counties, so that they can also have some training in peacetime.

In contrast, these subordinate soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng were equivalent to the regular army of those princes.

Moreover, the number of these horses is still relatively large, and there are nearly 2,000 people in each county. After all, a county can have about 14,000 to 20,000 county soldiers.

If it is counted in the heads of various states, there may be about 100,000 county soldiers in a state, and Liu Zheng will not mobilize these county soldiers for the time being, after all, they are all some brave people, and Liu Zheng does not want them to fight unless it is absolutely necessary.

Maintaining stability in the states and counties is what needs to be done now.

Anyway, it will take a while for the news to come. Liu Zheng had nothing to do, so he decided to inspect his city defense here.

Wu County, because it is where Liu Zheng's current mansion is located, and it is also the place where he deliberately moved to prevent the invasion from the north, so this place has temporarily become the capital of Liu Zheng's power.

All kinds of defenses are also the highest, in addition to the Wenpin County stationed in Yuzhang, half of the troops were drawn out, and in addition to the defense in Wu County, Wu County local, there is also Pei Yuanshao, the general responsible for the security of Wu County, to guard it.

Pei Yuanshao is the person who has followed Liu Zheng for the longest time, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang and others at the same time have become senior generals on the town side, although Pei Yuanshao is unknown, but he has indeed always been a powerful figure.

He had 20,000 city defense troops recruited for him by Liu Zheng alone.

And, all the time stay in Wu County, on standby, the elite soldiers of a hundred battles trained by themselves fell into the camp.

The men and horses trapped in the camp had some losses from the very beginning of the battle with Liu Zheng, and then they also lost some on the Qingzhou battlefield.

As a result, the original team of 800 people, after a few battles, there were more than 500 people left, and in the past half a year, because of the plague, Liu Zheng only had to let them recuperate and train in Wu County.

The number of people also began to be supplemented, mainly because Liu Zheng asked Gao Shun to select some from Liu Zheng's various places, and Liu Zheng asked each military camp to select some people to supplement them.

Today, the number has reached 1,000.

After another half a year of training, the trapped camp has completely recuperated and can fully devote itself to the battlefield and continue to fight.

Liu Zheng now decided to inspect his own soldiers and horses on the school field.

Among them, Pei Yuanshao's 20,000 troops do not belong to Liu Zheng's elite, they only need a little training and are responsible for guarding the city, Liu Zheng did not expect them to be able to lead the troops to the battle, and the real review was the 10,000 horses under Wen Ping.

Liu Zheng spent half a day inspecting the soldiers and horses in the school field, and after they were all in a state of excitement, he was temporarily relieved.

In the afternoon, Liu Zheng wanted to go back directly, but remembered that he had returned to Wu County for a few days, but he didn't pay attention to Cao Mengde.

So Liu Zheng temporarily changed his route and decided to go to see Cao Cao.

I haven't seen Cao Cao for half a year, and I don't know how well Cao Cao lives in this Wu County.

Diverted to Cao Cao's courtyard.

What surprised Liu Zheng was that Cao Cao's little life was really good.

As soon as I came here, I heard the gatekeeper report to Liu Zheng that Cao Cao actually arranged Liu Zheng to serve Cao Cao's life and daily life here The two little maids were pregnant.

This news made Liu Zheng stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

Cao Cao is just thirty-five years old this year, and he is in a period of strength and energy, and after being locked up here for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some needs.

After all, compared to the other two bigwigs in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Cao Cao's sons are the most.

Although Cao Cao himself likes **, but in this situation, there is no ** for him, and he can only settle for it.

Liu Zheng walked into the house, and Cao Cao in the courtyard was holding a branch and practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Cao Cao's own martial arts are not bad, and he once assassinated Dong Zhuo in history, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and some of the martial arts he knows will naturally be contacted from time to time, after all, he was imprisoned in this courtyard by Liu Zheng, and he had nothing else to do.

"Brother Mengde, I'm very interested."

When Liu Zheng saw Cao Cao practicing swords, he praised Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at it, seeing that it was Liu Zheng, he put away the branch in his hand and threw it aside.

Although he was practicing swords, Liu Zheng would not really give him a sword, so Cao Cao could only use branches instead.

"Brother Liu hasn't come to me for half a year, is he about to forget about me?"

Cao Cao said this, there were some complaints about Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng didn't let him go, and he didn't come to him, he has had a bit of a hard time in the past six months.

Cao Cao's usual activities are all in this small courtyard, and he usually doesn't even have the opportunity to go out.

Of course, it is not that no one has come to find Cao Cao, once a group of people inquired about Cao Cao's location and tried to come to rescue Cao Cao, but unfortunately, Liu Zheng's Jinyi Wei noticed it in advance and caught it all.

He was directly imprisoned.

Later, Liu Zheng got the news that it was actually Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang who sent the people.

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son and the successor cultivated by Cao Cao, and has been in Cao Cao's hometown all these years and has not followed Cao Cao.

After Liu Bei annexed Cao Cao's territory, he did not deliberately embarrass Cao Cao's family.

Cao Ang was naturally anxious when he learned that his father had been arrested, and although he was not very old, he immediately began to plan how to save his father.

It's a pity that Cao Ang is still too young after all, and he has no experience, although he led people into Liu Zheng's territory, he still didn't succeed.

This is mainly due to Liu Zheng's previous assassination of Lu Qiling, and he strengthened his protection in Wu County, but whenever there is some trouble, he can't escape the movement of the Jinyi Guards in this ambush in Wu County.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't know that his son Cao Ang was also arrested.

"Brother Meng De is too worried, how could I forget about you, I have an important thing to do recently, so I have not been in Wu County, I have only recently returned here, as soon as I came back, I came to see you in a few days."
