Zhang Mancheng is not a poor ghost like Liu Zheng.

After all, Zhang Mancheng is also the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, known as the divine envoy of the Yellow Turban Sect.

The power is so great, even if it is a wave talent, it is not as good as Zhang Mancheng.

The resources he received under his command were the most, and there were hundreds of war horses alone, but Zhang Mancheng did not train a powerful cavalry.

And the spears and bows and arrows under his hands, and even materials such as steel swords and shields, were also richer than Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng asked Zhao Hong for something at this time, firstly, he wanted to ask for some benefits, and secondly, he was also dealing with those officers and soldiers, and he really needed to strengthen the soldiers and horses under his command.

At this time, Zhao Hong naturally had no reason to refuse Liu Zheng, so he quickly agreed.

"Okay, you go and get those men and horses of our army immediately, and I will send the bows and arrows you need to your barracks in a while, but you must block those officers and soldiers and give the envoy some time to recover."

Zhao Hong is still more worried about Zhang Mancheng, at this time by Zhang Mancheng's side, only Zhao Hong is trustworthy, and there are several other generals, a guy named Sun Zhong, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Zheng, left.

to deal with the combined forces of Zhu Jun and Qin Jie.

Although it is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, these 30,000 people already account for most of the soldiers and horses that Zhao Hong can mobilize now.

When they evacuated from Jiangxia County, the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army suffered a lot of losses, and many of them fled and did not return.

Now by Zhao Hong's side, there are only seventy or eighty thousand people who can be mobilized.

Allocate 30,000 people to Liu Zheng, which is already the greatest strength, after all, it is necessary to leave some people to stay here, give them time, and return to Wancheng.

Nanyang County is the largest county in the world.

On the occasion of the Two Han Dynasty, the Yin Han Qianju clan of Henan in Yingchuan moved to Nanyang and became the Nanyang wang clan, making Nanyang the second county of the Han surname.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Nanyang was one of the five major cities in the country, Wang Mang was named the new capital of Nanyang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne in Nanyang, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was named the southern capital, and was respected as the emperor's hometown, which was the economic capital of the world.

And eleven of the 28 generals of Yuntai are from Nanyang County.

When Liu Zheng took nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the official army, he had already taken the lead in hearing some news.

Qin Jie and Zhu Jun had already divided their troops, and Zhu Jun led 20,000 people to the direction of Xinye, trying to bring Xinye back under the rule of the official army in a short time.

And Qin Jie took his 10,000 people to the direction of Caiyang.

The two of them acted separately, but the purpose should be the same, they both planned to recover these lost territories in a short time, and at the same time join forces in Wancheng to complete the strategy of besieging the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

And the division of troops between Qin Jie and Zhu Jun gave Liu Zheng a chance to choose, it was impossible for him to use the 40,000 people in his hands to deal with Zhu Jun and Qin Jie at the same time.

Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the strength.

"Mr. Xu You, should we deal with Qin Jie first, or Zhu Jun?"

Liu Zheng already had an idea in his heart, but he still wanted to ask Xu You's opinion.

"If I let me say it, in fact, it will be better for our army to deal with Zhu Jun first, after all, Zhu Jun's command is the elite of the Han Dynasty, as long as Zhu Jun is defeated, Qin Jie's guy will not be much of a threat."

Xu You thought about it for a while, and said directly to Liu Zheng.

"But, I think Qu Shuai, you will definitely not choose to deal with Zhu Jun."

"Oh? Why do you know I don't want to deal with Zhu Jun? ”

When Liu Zheng heard Xu You's words, he immediately became interested.

"Hehe, if you deal with Zhu Jun, Qu Shuai has no certainty of victory, after all, although our army now has 40,000 people, these 40,000 people are not all Qu Shuai's men, and even if it is 40,000 people, they may not be able to deal with the 20,000 people under Zhu Jun. Victory or defeat is unpredictable, and judging by your character, you will not fight a battle that you are not sure of. ”

"Secondly, Qin Jie's soft persimmon, obviously looks like it is better than Zhu Jun, if our army goes to deal with Qin Jie, then Zhu Jun can consume a wave of strength in Xinye, and when our army destroys Qin Jie, and then come over to deal with Zhu Jun, the grasp will be greater."

Xu You spoke very measuredly, and did not fully expose what Liu Zheng thought in his heart.

But he has already said what Liu Zheng thinks.

Liu Zheng really wanted to deal with Qin Jie first.

Not only is it because Qin Jie has fewer soldiers and horses under his command, but also because he has Huang Zhong by his side.

If Huang Zhong can't be settled, this will always be a thorn in Liu Zheng's heart, making it difficult for him to sleep.

Moreover, if Zhu Jun defeats Xinye, he will inevitably lead people to besiege Wancheng, and when the time comes, Zhu Jun will definitely fight with Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong's men.

More or less will consume some strength, and when Zhu Jun's men are fewer, Liu Zheng will turn the gun again, and it will definitely be easier to deal with Zhu Jun in the past.

"Ziyuan is worthy of being the person I fancy, to the point, what you think is exactly what I think, we will set off immediately and go to Caiyang."

An army of 40,000 soon set off for Caiyang.

Pei Yuanshao led Fengyun's 200 cavalry squad to set off first, as a spy, and began to collect news.

Liu Zheng and Xu Huang rushed to Caiyang with Fengyun's own 7,000 soldiers and horses as a vanguard army.

And Sun Zhong led the 30,000 people allocated to him by Zhao Hong, and then rushed over behind.

The reason why he divided his troops and horses into three divisions was also to consider that if there were too many people, the march would be too loud, and it would be easy for the spies of the officers and soldiers to detect it.

At that time, it will be difficult to mobilize troops and horses, and guerrilla tactics will not be easy to display.

When Liu Zheng led people to the vicinity of Caiyang, Qin Jie had already led people to defeat Caiyang County.

This Caiyang county town was originally occupied by a small Qu Shuai under Zhang Mancheng, and there were only thousands of people in his hands.

Surrounded by Qin Jie's tens of thousands of troops, Qin Jie's subordinates still have fierce generals like Huang Zhong, so it is naturally impossible to hold it.

Liu Zheng hurried and hurried or didn't dare to bring people to Caiyang City before Qin Jie's siege, Liu Zheng originally planned to kill Qin Jie's back when he attacked the city, and the killing officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and this plan could not be carried out.

Therefore, Liu Zheng took people to temporarily camp in the jungle near Caiyang City, waiting for Qin Jie's next move in Caiyang City.

"Cai Yangcheng's Yellow Turban Army is really a waste, it was taken care of by Qin Jie so quickly, if we support it for a while and a half, we will be able to rush over."

When Zhou Cang heard the spies rumor that Cai Yang had been lost, he shouted angrily.

Liu Zheng didn't feel much, after all, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and he had the means to deal with Qin Jie and them.

"Zhou Cang, immediately divide our seven thousand people into a team of one thousand people."
