Chapter 789: Occupy Nanyang
Chen Zhi is not stupid, as soon as he saw this kind of scene, he realized that this young man must have a very high status.
He knew that these people in front of him were all soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng, and when he saw this young man for the first time, Chen Zhi immediately realized that the young man in front of him was very likely to be Liu Zheng.
Just when Chen Zhi was still surprised and puzzled, the young man in front of him had already spoken.
"You're Chen?"
Liu Zheng looked Chen Zhi up and down, this Chen Dao's age is only about twenty years old, his figure is not burly, but he is handsome, and his every move has the appearance of having practiced kung fu for several years.
"I've seen you all here."
At this time, Chen Zhi was bold and glanced at the people present.
calmly saluted Liu Zheng, Zhou Yu and others.
Don't think of yourself as a captive at all.
"Chen Dao, where are you from?"
Liu Zheng didn't just ask for it as soon as he came, but also calmly asked Chen Zhi, and the questions he asked were nothing more than where he was from, how many people were in the family, how old he was, and so on.
"People in the Lower Runan."
"Runan's? No wonder it's here. ”
"Listen to your subordinates, your martial arts are good. Do you have the idea of joining our army? ”
Chen Zhi is this kind of person, and Kuai Liang is different.
After all, Kuai Liang is the head of a big family, and he can't easily change his position, after all, his decision is not about his own life, but about the fate of the entire family.
If Kuai Liang took refuge in Liu Zheng at this time, then tomorrow, their Kuai family, maybe thousands of people in Luoyang, would be killed by Liu Biao.
Therefore, for the sake of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang will not easily take refuge in Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng naturally understood this, so he didn't embarrass Kuai Liang, he would only wait for him to capture Luoyang, if he asked Kuai Liang again, and he was still unwilling to take refuge in himself, then Liu Zheng would lose interest in Kuai Liang and even the Kuai family.
And Chen Zhi is a single individual, there is no powerful family behind him, and he has no prominent identity, just a small soldier, and it makes no difference where he goes to be a soldier.
At this time, when I heard Liu Zheng's solicitation, I was still a little excited.
"My lord, Chen Zhi is willing!"
Chen Zhi immediately knelt down and expressed himself.
"Very good, I see that your martial arts are good, for the time being, under Zhou Yu's account, be a tun chief."
Liu Zheng did not give Chen Zhi a very high military position, but only gave a small position of commander, after all, he was a demoted general, and his own status was not high, so it would not be a good thing to easily give Chen Zhi a too high official position.
On the contrary, it is easy to make the old man under Liu Zheng unhappy.
recruited a Chen Dao, and Liu Zheng's face also showed a happy look.
Although he didn't get Kuailiang, but he had a Chen Dao, this trip to Runan was not completely fruitless.
In fact, his surprise attack on Runan was mainly to suppress Jingzhou by occupying the territory of Yuzhou.
Now that Runan City has been laid, it is necessary to make persistent efforts to seize the entire Yuzhou in one go.
On the one hand, at this time, immediately let Chen Wang Liu Pet lead his men and horses to capture Yingchuan.
At the same time, Liu Zheng himself led Sun Jian and Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses to kill Nanyang.
As long as Nanyang County is occupied, it can directly threaten the Nanjun where Liu Biao is located.
When the time comes, together with the people of Yangzhou, Liu Zheng will be able to jointly launch the encirclement and suppression of Xiangyang.
In less than half a month, he was able to defeat Liu Biao's soldiers and horses and capture Nanjun in one fell swoop, and the entire Jingzhou fell into the hands of Liu Zheng.
Of course, it was not so easy for Liu Zheng to completely control Jiangxia and Nanjun.
From Nanyang to Nanjun, this is still Liu Biao's territory.
And because the news of Liu Zheng's attack on Runan has spread.
At this time, Nanyang already knew that Liu Zheng led the army to Yuzhou.
While Liu Zheng was rushing to Nanyang quickly, Nanyang was also sending people to Xiangyang to tell Liu Biao the news.
Nanyang County.
This is a place where dragons thrive.
Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu re-established the Han Dynasty, and his hometown Nanyang County was upgraded to the southern capital, with 37 counties, which was the largest county in the world and was respected as the emperor's township.
The population here was once the largest in the Han Dynasty.
However, this place, by the time of the Three Kingdoms period, became a strange place.
It's just a hot potato, whoever takes it is unlucky.
The earliest in Nanyang was Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie.
When he was fighting the Yellow Turbans, it was cold.
Later, it was Zhang Mancheng, the god of the Yellow Turban Army, who got Nanyang.
Zhang Mancheng was also cold.
After Zhang Mancheng's death, Nanyang County returned to the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court sent a taishou Zhang Zhi over, but Zhang Zhi was killed by Sun Jian.
Later, this Nanyang was taken by Yuan Shu.
As a result, Yuan Shu was not able to stay in Nanyang for a long time, and after the wolf ambition and the emperor, he withdrew from the historical stage not long after.
Nanyang was occupied by Liu Biao again.
Liu Biao also failed to die well, and it didn't take long for the person to hang up, leaving a mess.
Nanyang also stayed in Liu Bei's hands for a while.
But Liu Bei failed to sit firmly in Nanyang, and was finally obtained by Cao Cao.
This hot potato is under the control of Cao Cao, so there are no more moths.
However, now it has finally fallen into the hands of Liu Zheng.
Under the frantic attack of 40,000 troops led by Liu Zheng, it only took two days to defeat Nanyang City.
After defeating Nanyang, Liu Zheng did not stay in Nanyang for too long, and directly led his soldiers and horses to start rushing towards the position of Xiangyang.
Xiangyang, for its part, has reacted.
Xiangyang City.
As early as two days ago, the news that Liu Zheng led people into Yuzhou had reached Liu Biao's ears in advance.
After Liu Biao heard the news, he was shocked and furious.
The reason for the surprise was that he never expected that Liu Zheng would actually make a dangerous move, using the strategy of attacking the east and the west, on the one hand, he stationed tens of thousands of troops in Jiangxia, and on the other hand, he led a large army to attack Yuzhou, which they did not expect.
And he was furious because since Liu Zheng was able to lead people to Yuzhou, he must have taken a lot of horses from Jiangxia.
And after Jiangxia's soldiers and horses withdrew a lot, there has been no movement in the past few days.
"Damn, what the hell is Ding Yuan doing to eat? It's been so many days, and there has been no progress in the war in Jiangxia, but now it's good that Liu Zheng has brought people to Yuzhou! ”
"The Runan and Nanyang regions that we finally recaptured from Yuan Shu's hands are now all occupied by Liu Zheng, and we have lost a lot!"
In the palace, Liu Biao roared and shouted loudly at the few staff below, venting the anger in his heart.
Liu Biao, who had lost most of Jingzhou, was not happy, but now he was finally able to rely on a few counties in Yuzhou to supplement his strength, but now it is good that it is gone again.
