Liu Zheng, who was in the city, heard Kuai Liang's words, but he didn't answer Kuai Liang.

Because Liu Zheng's current identity is different from before.

This can be regarded as a royal expedition.

You can't just reveal your identity.

If others knew about it, he only brought a few thousand cavalry, and he dared to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy army, which was not good news.

"Who is the castle guard?"

Liu Zheng didn't answer Kuai Liang's words, but asked Kuai Liang directly.

Kuai Liang on the city tower was puzzled, but when he saw that the people below were asking about the city tower, he didn't hide it, but directly answered Liu Zheng under the city.

"In Xia Kuailiang, it is the master of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who was ordered by my family to temporarily take over Runan, who is Your Excellency, why are you surrounding me Runan?"

Liu Zheng under the city heard Kuailiang report to his home, but he immediately recalled it, and Liu Zheng was not very impressed by Kuailiang.

just knew that this guy was a staff member under Liu Biao. Liu Biao relied on him to be able to truly control the entire Jingzhou.

The main reason is that there is not much description of this Kuai Liang in history, and he did not explain what he did later, probably because he was an official in the Wei State, because he was a minister, he was not reused.

In addition, the most important thing under the Wei State is the strategists, and people like Kuai Liang can only belong to the middle level in the Wei State, and it is not their turn to make a name for themselves on the stage.

After all, both the Kuai family and the Cai family advocated the surrender of Cao after Liu Biao's death, and it is very likely that they will take refuge in Cao Wei.

However, for now, the Kuai family is also a prominent family in the entire Jingzhou vicinity. It is definitely a big family comparable to the Cai family in Xiangyang.

If Liu Zheng can persuade Kuai Liang to take refuge in himself, it will be of great convenience for him to control Jingzhou Nanjun, Xiangyang and other places.

In any case, Kuai Liang has always been a somewhat useful celebrity.

Maybe Cao Wei in history is nothing, but for Liu Zheng, who was at the beginning of the empire, a figure like Kuai Liang has some role.

After a moment of silence, Liu Zheng opened his mouth and said a word to Kuai Liang on the city tower.

"I didn't expect the guard in the city to be Mr. Kuai Liang, I have admired Mr. Kuai's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to see him here, can Mr. open the city gate, let me wait in, sit down and talk in detail?"

Liu Zheng did not attack directly in a barbaric manner, but persuaded him with good words and planned to salute first and then soldier.

Let's see if we can take this Runan without using the sword soldiers.

But obviously, a smart person like Kuai Liang will not be deceived by Liu Zheng's words or two.

"Hahaha, is Your Excellency underestimating me Kuailiang, do you want me to abandon the city and surrender in a word? Although you have thousands of cavalry, it will not be so easy to defeat me. ”

Kuai Liang was delaying time at this time, and at the same time, his heart was thinking quickly, whose soldiers and horses were these centaurs outside the city.

This place in Runan, the Central Plains, is not too far from the territory of Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao.

You can come here directly from Huainan, and from Yecheng, you can also reach Runan by crossing the Yellow River.

So for a while, Kuai Liang didn't recognize who these cavalrymen were.

However, this identity is not difficult to guess.

After all, as far as the princes of the world are concerned, there are not many people who can have thousands of cavalry.

In addition to Yuan Shao, there is only Liu Zheng.

As for the others, it was too far away from Runan, and it couldn't have been from this direction.

So Kuai Liang quickly locked these people outside the city on Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao.

Compared with Yuan Shao, there is always a Yellow River separated from Runan, and the Yellow River is not so easy to cross, so these cavalry are most likely Liu Zheng's men and horses.

Besides, Kuai Liang also knew that Liu Zheng had a cavalry under him.

After such a hesitation on the city tower, Kuai Liang had already figured out all the things in it.

However, if you want to go directly to Runan from Liu Zheng's territory, you must pass through the Lujiang River.

Could it be that Lujiang has already ......

Kuai Liang didn't dare to think about it.

Because the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became.

"Mr. Kuailiang, do you have to meet me in battle? You know, when I break through the city, Mr. Kuailiang, I won't be so good at talking. ”

Kuai Liang disagreed, and Liu Zheng was not in a hurry, after all, there was no elite around him at this time, only a few thousand cavalry were around, these cavalry were not good at attacking the city, if Kuai Liang's men and horses were allowed to go out of the city and fight Liu Zheng, if they attacked the city, Liu Zheng was actually not sure.

The reason why Liu Zheng was not in a hurry was that he had to wait, waiting for Zhou Yu and Sun Jian's men and horses to rush over from Yuzhang, and almost two or three days of work would be enough.

When the time comes, when the army is together, there will be no need to worry about this district Runan City.

Kuai Liang heard such a calm answer from the man in the city, and for a moment he was even more convinced of his guess.

"Under the city, are Liu Zheng's people?"

Kuai Liang still couldn't help it, and asked the city.

This question made Liu Zheng a little curious.

"Heh, this Kuai Liang is really smart, I didn't have a banner, how did he judge that we were His Majesty's people?"

Hearing that Kuai Liang guessed the identity of Liu Zheng's people, Xu Huang, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, was a little surprised.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly and glanced at Xu Huang. ，

"Gongming, it's not difficult to guess, among the entire Han Dynasty, the people who can gather thousands of cavalry, except for us, are only Yuan Shao and the imperial court."

"It is impossible for the imperial court to attack Runan, and Yuan Shao is far away from Runan, and there is Liu Bei next to him, how can he come over, only we are the closest to Runan, and we have the most motives."

As soon as Liu Zheng explained, Xu Huang also nodded.

"Mr. Kuai Liang, you are really smart, since you have already guessed our identity, why don't you surrender the city, I can guarantee that you will serve under the account of His Majesty of my family, and it will definitely not be much worse than you under the account of Liu Biao."

In order not to expose himself, Liu Zheng pretended that he was not Liu Zheng and talked to Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang in the city only showed some sneers and did not answer Liu Zheng.

After waiting for a long time, Kuai Liang didn't speak again, but Liu Zheng was a little impatient and continued.

"Mr. Kuailiang, it seems that you have no intention of surrendering, since this is the case, then I have to lead people to attack the city."

"Hmph, if you have the ability, attack, I'll see if you can beat my Runan City."

At this time, there were still thousands of defenders in the city, and Kuai Liang really had some confidence that he could hold the city and not be afraid of Liu Zheng's cavalry attacking the city.

However, Liu Zheng only pretended to attack the city, did not attack directly, and ordered people to run around the Runan City for a while, and then died down and set up camp.
