Even if Liu Zheng took people and forcibly captured Jiangxia County, there would not be too many resources he could get, but he would waste time here and lose soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Liu Zheng's men and horses did not pass through the city of Jiangxia City, but tried not to get close to the scope of Jiangxia City, and went to Changsha on the official road.

But even so, Liu Zheng led more than 30,000 troops and came in the direction of Jiangxia County with a fierce momentum, which still aroused the vigilance of Liu Xiang, the Taishou of Jiangxia County.

Liu Xiang is also a relative of the Han family, and his father Liu Yao was an official to Cangwu Taishou, after all, in the Han Dynasty, if the clan relatives surnamed Liu were people with titles, most of them were divided into various parts of the Han Dynasty, and there were countless Han clansmen like Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Xiang himself, in fact, is not very famous in history, the only thing that is a little deed is that during the period of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of the Eighteenth Road fought against Dong, and Sun Jian, who was the Taishou of Changsha, raised troops to fight, and Liu Xiang and Sun Jian, who were the Taishou of Jiangxia, breathed out of one nostril.

The two joined forces and wanted to let Zhang Shi, who was the Taishou of Nanyang at the time, send people and food, but Zhang Shi refused, so Sun Jian and Liu Xiang joined forces to attack Zhang Shi.

As a result, Liu Xiang died in the battle with the Nanyang soldiers.

On the contrary, it fulfilled Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian accepted Liu Xiang's soldiers, horses, money and food.

Although Liu Xiang is not famous in history, Liu Xiang's son is more famous than him.

Liu Xiang's son Liu Ba, who was a high-ranking scholar with extraordinary status in the late Shu Han Dynasty, succeeded Fa Zheng as Shang Shuling after Fa Zheng's death, and solved the financial problems after Liu Bei entered Shu.

Of course, Liu Xiang at this time didn't know that Liu Zheng was not coming for his Jiangxia City at this time, but he felt threatened because Liu Zheng's army of 30,000 was approaching Jiangxia.

"Oops, Liu Zheng led an army of 30,000 and came at my Jiangxia, my Jiangxia is in danger!"

Liu Xiang paced back and forth in the hall, as if thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, there were several other people in the hall, seeing Liu Xiang so nervous, some people didn't know what was going on, but hurriedly asked.

"My lord, why are you so nervous, what happened?"

The big man who asked Liu Xiang looked quite sinister wearing the armor of a military general and a mustache.

"Huang Zu, the big thing is not good, we just repelled Zhao Hong's gang a few days ago, but now there are 30,000 yellow turban thieves, and the leader is Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng who killed Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, how should we be good now!"

Although Liu Xiang has not seen Liu Zheng, but recently, Liu Zheng has become famous in the counties near Nanyang, especially after Liu Zheng killed Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, some nearby officials and soldiers all knew that there was such a person as Liu Zheng.

When the bearded Huang Zu heard Liu Zheng's name, he also showed a solemn look.

"Taishou, your news is true, didn't Liu Zheng take people to attack the Tiger Prison Pass before, why did he come to attack my Jiangxia at this time?"

"This is true, my meticulous work in Nanyang sent me news, Liu Zheng appeared in Nanyang with 30,000 people, it is very likely that he discussed with Zhao Hong's family about attacking my Jiangxia, and now Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses are already on the way to Jiangxia, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will appear in my Jiangxia City."

Liu Xiang looked nervous, looking at Huang Zu, with some look of help in his eyes, Liu Xiang himself is not good at commanding soldiers and horses, he can become the position of Taishou, all by virtue of the identity of the Han clan.

And Huang Zu is a wealthy family in Jiangxia, the Huang family is powerful in Jiangxia, and Liu Xiang appointed Huang Zu, but also took a fancy to the Huang family behind Huang Zu.

It is precisely because of the existence of Huang Zu in Jiangxia that in the previous attacks of Zhao Hong, he was not able to succeed, and Zhao Hong's several attacks were in vain.

This time Liu Zheng attacked, Liu Xiang could only hope that Huang Zu could have a way, otherwise they would only be able to defend Jiangxia City to guard against Liu Zheng's attack.

"Lord Taishou, if there is really Liu Zheng coming, we can't defend this Jiangxia City like before, and we should take the initiative to attack and deal with the invading enemy."

Liu Xiang was worried at this time and didn't know how to deal with Liu Zheng, as soon as he heard Huang Zu's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked Huang Zu.

"Huang Zu, do you have a way to deal with Liu Zheng?"

"I recently collected some information about that Liu Zheng, this person, often surprised, unpredictable tactics and tactics, unpredictable, is a difficult opponent, if we stick to Jiangxia County, we will definitely not be able to hold Jiangxia City, so I proposed, take the initiative to attack, before Liu Zheng comes to Jiangxia, ambush him first."

"In this way, if we take Liu Zheng by surprise, we will definitely be able to defeat those soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command, even if we can't directly repel Liu Zheng, we can also give Liu Zheng some color to see, so that he can understand that our Jiangxia City is not so easy to deal with."

Huang Zu told Liu Xiang his thoughts, and after Liu Xiang listened, although there was some doubt on his face, he had no good way at present, but only to listen to Huang Zu's opinion.

"That's right, but the news I got is that Liu Zheng has 30,000 soldiers, and he is fighting to kill Jiangxia quickly, at this time, we only have 8,000 defenders in Jiangxia City, and counting the 5,000 villagers who were anxious to defend the city before, we also have 13,000 people."

In terms of numerical disadvantage, there is obviously a big gap with Liu Zheng's side, and it is not enough to stick to this point, let alone take the initiative.

"Regarding this, Lord Taishou, don't worry, before, I had long expected that Zhao Hong and others in Nanyang would attack Jiangxia's side again, so not long ago, I asked our clan to fund and recruit 10,000 villagers in the surrounding counties."

"These 10,000 people, in less than half a day, can be assembled near this Jiangxia City, as long as Taishou transfers 10,000 soldiers and horses to me, I will lead 20,000 people, and I will definitely be able to block Liu Zheng before he comes to Jiangxia."

The reason why Huang Zu is so enthusiastic is also because he wants to show himself in front of Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang is the newly appointed Jiangxia Taishou, and as soon as he took office, he reused the Huang clan of Jiangxia and let Huang Zu act as Jiangxia Gongcao.

So Huang Zu wanted to behave in front of Liu Xiang and let Liu Xiang reuse himself more.

At the moment, Huang Zudu had already made such a plan, and Liu Xiang naturally had nothing to say, so he immediately agreed.

"Okay, Huang Zu, the task of blocking Liu Zheng and these thieves will be handed over to you, you don't have to live up to my expectations of you!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely repel that Liu Zheng and give those Yellow Turban remnants some powerful looks."

After Huang Zu saw Liu Xiang agree, he immediately took the order and left.
