"I order you to immediately lead the men and horses of the headquarters and take Jiangxia directly!"

"The last general commands!"

"Huang Zhong!"

"The end will be."

"I order you to lead the people of the headquarters and go to Huarong to stop Ding Yuan's headquarters!"

"The last general commands!"

"Zulang!"

"The end will be."

"I order you to go up and guard the road from Jiangxia to Nanyang to prevent anyone from supporting from Yuzhou!"

"The last general commands!"

In a short period of time, Liu Zheng arranged the next attack targets for Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Zu Lang.

The shooters under Huang Zhong went to Huarong to stop the cavalry under Ding Yuan, which was just right, and these infantry under Gan Ning were only charged.

Although he lost some of his previous time in Wuling, his subordinates were all elites, and after replenishing some manpower, it was easy to fill up the previous combat power.

Of course, now Gan Ning's men, although there are only more than 10,000 people, there is no problem in attacking Jiangxia County, as long as they attack Jiangxia by surprise, block Ding Yuan's main force, Liu Zheng's men and horses, and capture the entire Jingzhou, it will not be a problem.

Liu Zheng's order spread, and he himself didn't need to go directly to the battlefield.

As the emperor, Liu Zheng is not the same as before.

The previous Liu Zheng was only the lord, although his life was also very precious, but at this time, he could still supervise the battle on the front line, but not now, once it affected Liu Zheng.

If Liu Zheng does something, it will have a great impact on the generals under his command.

The three parties went down to prepare, and Liu Zheng was in the camp in Baling County, waiting for their news.

A man named Yang Sheng commanded the entire scout force.

This Yang Sheng, who is also a graduate of the Military Academy, is a student of the first phase of Hewenpin.

It's just that in the military academy that year, Yang Sheng was unknown and not outstanding, but after entering the army, with his solid skills, Yang Sheng quickly showed his prominence, highlighting his level of delivering orders among a group of generals.

He is in charge of a large number of scouts under Liu Zheng's command, and can deliver the news to Liu Zheng's hands as quickly as possible.

Gan Ning and more than 10,000 men and horses, together with Zulang's army, set off from Baling County and went straight to Hanyang City in Jiangxia County.

This is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River, and after seizing Hanyang City, Liu Zheng has the right to speak, and he can continue to attack Xiangyang in the north, and at the same time he can attack Ding Yuan in Huarong on the left.

Since the beginning of the war, the soldiers and horses have been dispatched very quickly.

In just two days, Gan Ning's men and horses directly captured Wulin and Chibi.

On the third day, under the siege of Zulang and Gan Ning's men and horses, the army approached Hanyang.

However, in Hanyang, Gan Ning encountered a fierce enemy, Zhang Liao's army that rushed over from Nanyang.

Zhang Liao had previously been ordered to go to Yuzhou to fight against Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and Runan.

Zhang Liao's army went all the way north from Jiangxia until Yuan Shu's men and horses were driven out of Yuzhou, and then Zhang Liao's men and horses never returned, but guarded these places alone.

On the one hand, it was to gather more manpower, after all, the people that Ding Yuan brought from Bingzhou had already lost a lot, especially the battle of Lu Bu, which lost half of the cavalry under him.

The infantry could only be recruited on the spot, and later, after there was a gap between Ding Yuan and Liu Biao, Zhang Liao could only go to Yuzhou in order to strengthen the soldiers and horses under Ding Yuan, and incorporated some remnants of the party that originally belonged to Yuan Shu, and barely gathered an army of 30,000.

The 30,000-strong army was stationed in Hanyang to prevent Liu Zheng's troops and horses from going north and forming a corner with the cavalry of Ding Yuan's army in Huarong.

Stationed in Hanyang, on the other hand, it is also because Ding Yuan does not have a naval army, if Liu Zheng's naval army is like the last time, a surprise attack on Xiangyang, they may not be able to know, so the garrison in Hanzhong is the only way for the naval army to go north.

Once there is any disturbance on Liu Zheng's side, the people on Hanyang's side can know immediately.

Going up the river, the speed can't be too fast, and Zhang Liao's army in Hanyang can still react and deal a heavy blow to Liu Zheng's men and horses.

Hanyang Castle at this time.

"Report!"

"General, urgent military situation!"

Zhang Liao's battalion, the herald rushed over.

"Speak quickly!"

Zhang Liao got up and immediately shouted at the herald.

The news of Liu Zheng's army coming to attack had been heard by Zhang Liao from his heralds two days ago.

However, Zhang Liao could not leave Hanyang easily, and the order he received was to garrison Hanyang, wait for reinforcements, and focus on defense and not attack rashly.

Zhang Liao, who knew the strength of Liu Zheng's army, naturally could not attack Liu Zheng arrogantly.

"General, the county town of Wulin has been lost, and the enemy's commander, Gan Ning, led 10,000 horses and went straight to Hanyang!"

The herald quickly said the news and told Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's face immediately sank, even though he understood that Wulin and Chibi could not bear Gan Ning, but he didn't expect that these two county towns couldn't even stop it for two days.

"Gan Ning, the general under Liu Zheng, is worthy of being Liu Zheng's most trusted generals, and it is really terrifying."

Zhang Liao couldn't help but praise Gan Ning.

"General, what shall we do?"

"What are you afraid of, pass the order, let our people immediately clear the wilderness, there is Hanyang City, and there are more than 10,000 people in the Ganning District, it is not so easy to deal with us!"

When Zhang Liao heard the news, although his face was not good-looking, but then, for Zhang Liao, there was only excitement and no fear.

Gan Ning is already a long-famous general, and he Zhang Liao is not an unknown person.

When he was in the annexation of the state, Zhang Liao was already a general under Lu Bu, and now in Jingzhou, Zhang Liao, who defeated Yuan Shu, has even received the attention and attention of the imperial court.

As long as he continues to defeat Liu Zheng in this battle with Liu Zheng, then he Zhang Liao will definitely be promoted by the imperial court.

Not long after Zhang Liao's order was issued, Zhang Liao led his people to the city tower of Hanyang County.

There are already a lot of figures outside the city, and Gan Ning led his elite to appear in Hanyang.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses approached the city and set up a large array.

"The guards of Hanyang City listen, this will be ordered by His Majesty Liu Zheng to take the city and wait for you, if you know each other, go out of the city now and surrender, otherwise, when I break the city gate, the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

Gan Ning is not a murderous person, so he is just scaring and scaring this Hanyang sergeant.

Zhang Liao walked up to the city tower.

looked at Gan Ning outside the city coldly, this was the first time he had met Gan Ning.

The two are of the same age, Gan Ning is a few years older than Zhang Liao, after all, Zhang Liao is only 22 years old now, and he is a little high-spirited.

"Under the city, it's Gan Ning, the general under Liu Zheng?"
