When Zhang Miao disdained Liu Zheng, Liu Dai agreed with this remark, after all, they had an army of 80,000 at this time.

The 80,000-strong army attacked Yuan Shu and Liu Zheng in one fell swoop, how could Liu Zheng be able to stop it now, then Liu Zheng, judging from the intelligence under their control, is now 30,000 or 40,000 people in Yangzhou, twice as many as the enemy's men and horses, which makes Liu Dai and Zhang Miao and others very confident.

But Cao Cao on the side knew that Liu Zheng was powerful, not to mention that he was twice as many soldiers and horses as Liu Zheng, even if he was three times the number of Liu Zheng, he might not be able to suppress Liu Zheng.

They must be cautious, gradually calculate Liu Zheng, take advantage of the advantages of soldiers and horses, slowly encroach on Liu Zheng, and take back the territory of Yangzhou little by little, so as to stabilize the situation.

However, at this time, Cao Cao did not deny Zhang Miao's words, because he knew that at this time, the war was imminent, and the army's heart could not be shaken, and with his status, if he continued to talk about how powerful Liu Zheng was, he would definitely be thought by Zhang Miao and Liu Dai that he was growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige.

This kind of self-deprecating and boring thing, how could Cao Cao do more.

"Although we know that Liu Zheng is very likely to come to the rescue of Yuan Shu, we can't just wait here, we still have to do some corresponding measures."

"At least, we should deploy some ambushes in the direction of Poyang to Huainan, whether it is used to ambush Liu Zheng or to inquire about the news, in short, time is running out, and if you want to come to Liu Zheng's support personnel, it is estimated that it will arrive soon."

"Okay, everything is according to what Brother Meng De said, we immediately sent 5,000 soldiers and horses out and stationed them in three directions, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are used as ambush soldiers, and our army is not moving, just waiting here for Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses to come."

After Liu Dai heard Cao Cao's opinion, he immediately agreed and quickly gave a plan.

Here Liu Dai is the state pastor, the highest status, what he said, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao basically will not have too many opposing opinions, after all, in the overall situation, Cao Cao will not be disobedient, unless it involves the safety of Cao Cao's own army, he will express his different views.

"Then I'll go down and make arrangements."

Cao Cao took Liu Dai's words, and immediately went to the camp and went down to command.

Two days later.

Liu Zheng's army rushed all the way north from Poyang, wanting to rush to Shouchun as soon as possible to support Yuan Shu, but Liu Zheng was afraid that Yuan Shu would be defeated when he was still in the future.

After all, Yuan Shu's strength is tens of thousands of horses, Liu Zheng is very clear, and it is okay to say when he meets Zhang Miao and Liu Dai, Liu Zheng feels that he should still be able to insist.

But I can't stand it, there is a Cao Cao, what kind of person is Cao Cao, it is the Three Kingdoms period, the most difficult opponent, not to mention the elite soldiers and strong generals, there is also a smart enough brain, command and dispatch, and use troops to arrange the formation, and he is fighting on the battlefield, even if it is Liu Zheng, there is no certainty.

"How long will it take to get to Shouchun?"

After two consecutive days of running, Liu Zheng led his soldiers and horses to hurry at the fastest speed, hurrying all the way, and they had already reached the boundary of Huainan County, and it should not be far from Shouchun City.

However, after all, Liu Zheng had never been to Shouchun City, and all the journeys relied on the guidance of the merchants he was looking for, so he could travel so clearly, but after calculating the time, Liu Zheng still knew that he should be about to arrive.

"Go back to my lord, it will be there soon, I estimate that according to this journey, there will be another hour to reach Shouchun City."

"Does it just take a while?"

Liu Zheng heard the words of the merchant and muttered, and then stretched out his hand and signaled the army to stop.

"Just rest here. Since it is not far from Shouchun City, then there is no hurry to pass, anyway, it is not bad for this time, if we go over now, maybe it will be easy to have problems, Zhou Cang, you ordered everyone to temporarily set up camp here, and then you send a few more scouts to explore the road first. ”

Although Liu Zheng was worried about Yuan Shu's safety, he didn't care about Yuan Shu's life or death at all, if Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Dai and Cao Cao and others, and was already dead, then it would be useless for him to rush over to rescue now.

Therefore, he needs to find out the situation of Shouchun City first, and then make plans, and it is inconvenient for him to directly lead the soldiers and horses over, he must first consult Yuan Shu before he is embarrassed to go over, otherwise he will directly come to their city with the army, and Yuan Shu will not think much about it.

But just when Liu Zheng's people had just settled down, Liu Zheng immediately felt that something was wrong.

Although this is on the official road, but at this time, there are no businessmen on the official road, and the silence is terrible.

Not to mention, what makes Liu Zheng even more puzzled is that he has already sent several scouts to explore the road in front at the beginning, it stands to reason that the army has stopped, and the scouts should come back to resume their lives, why haven't even a scout come back at this time.

Just when Liu Zheng was still puzzled, in front of Liu Zheng, a black dot flew up, followed by a sharp arrow, flying from a distance.

With a whoosh, he shot a soldier beside Liu Zheng, and the soldier let out a miserable scream, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, making Liu Zheng's 20,000 army here boil.

"There is an ambush, everyone pay attention!"

The appearance of this arrow seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows appeared, flying from the same direction, along Liu Zheng's side.

Fortunately, on Liu Zheng's side, the configuration of soldiers and horses is just right, the first batch of soldiers and horses are all sword and shield hands, and when Liu Zheng saw the first arrow, he immediately rushed to Ren Han beside him.

"Rain of arrows, the other party has a rain of arrows, and the sword and shield hand raises the shield! Raise your shield now! ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly dodged to the rear, and at the same time, several sword and shield hands around him raised the shield in their hands and guarded Liu Zheng's side.

Liu Zheng began to command the people around him to defend in an orderly manner, while Zhou Cang ordered the archers in the center to start counterattacking.

The most excited was Huang Zhong, who immediately shouted out his own shooter battalion, and immediately after the first round of arrow rain, he began to aim in the direction where the arrows were fired.

Ready to deal with opponents who will rush out of the jungle on both sides.

And with the appearance of the first round of arrow rain, the ambush soldiers hidden in the two lanes finally did not need to hide, and at this time, they immediately rushed out and shouted to kill.

The soldiers and horses on both sides of the black pressure, crowded, brandishing spears, rushed to the official road, Liu Zheng's army immediately exploded, first frightened, a little chaotic, but soon, under the command and dispatch of their respective captains, tun chiefs, and Qu chiefs, they stabilized.

And try to fight back, fight.
