After the unpleasant trouble, Cai Mao directly led his men and horses to camp separately from Sun Jian's men, and the two were stationed in the two county towns at the junction of Wuling County and Changsha County.

Others naturally thought that this was a disagreement between Cai Mao and Sun Jian, and finally broke up unhappily. But only Liu Zheng knew that this was something he had discussed with Cai Mao before.

Only by leaving Cai Mao from Sun Jian's troops, leaving only a single army of soldiers and horses under Sun Jian's command, can their plan be implemented more intact.

In Liu Zheng's view, Sun Jian's command is now only 10,000 people, and he led nearly 20,000 people to this Wuling County, and cooperated with Guo Shi's 20,000 horses, a total of 40,000 horses attacked Sun Jian. I don't think it's a big problem.

Cai Mao's soldiers and horses after leaving Sun Jian's camp. sent someone to deliver news to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng received the news of Cai Mao's departure and did not attack Sun Jian at the first time.

Because Liu Zheng also knew that if he attacked Sun Jian in such a short time, Sun Jian would most likely suspect Cai Mao's good intentions.

After waiting for a few more days, Liu Zheng began to send scouts under his command, gradually sending spies towards Sun Jian's territory to keep a close eye on the movements of Sun Jian's army.

Without Cai Mao's 30,000 horses, even if Sun Jian's strength was strong, he did not dare to rashly attack Guo Shi, especially after experiencing a big defeat, Sun Jian was even more cautious, so he was also settled in the next few days, and did not take the initiative to attack Wuling County, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were stationed in place and did not provoke a battle.

However, although Sun Jian did not attack the men and horses on the side of Wuling County, Liu Zheng couldn't bear the loneliness at this time and wanted to deal with Sun Jian.

After several days of exploration, Liu Zheng had already deployed the soldiers and horses on Sun Jian's side and the surrounding areas, and the exploration was almost done.

Liu Zheng already knew clearly that Sun Jian only had more than 11,000 horses in this vicinity, and they were scattered in three different places, and they were interdependent on each other in a wrestling manner.

It seems that Sun Jian has not launched an attack on Guo Shi's soldiers and horses recently, and he should have known that Liu Zheng's men and horses came from Jiaozhou and joined Guo Shi's men and horses.

Because of the jealousy of Liu Zheng, Sun Jian had a trace of scruples, and in the past few days, the soldiers and horses of Changsha County have been constantly transferred to the front line. Sun Jian's soldiers and horses in the front-line county gradually increased, but he had been defending in the city, and he did not have the slightest preparation to go out of the city to face the battle.

In order to prevent Sun Jian from continuing to recruit soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng dispatched troops from Changsha County and decided to let all the horses oppress Sun Jian's main army as soon as possible, and only need to break through the county seat where Sun Jian is located, and he can defeat Sun Jian's men and horses in one fell swoop.

Fighting like this is a blitzkrieg, wanting to catch Sun Jian off guard in a short period of time.

When Liu Zheng decided to attack, he quickly sent an order to Guo Shi, and then ordered Gan Ning to be the vanguard and quickly approached the county where Sun Jian was located, intending to surround most of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, and then wait until Liu Zheng's main force arrived, and then launch an attack on the county seat.

Shaoyang County.

This is where Sun Jian stationed his soldiers and horses.

After the defeat from Wuling County, Sun Jian stationed most of his soldiers and horses here.

It is a small county town. It is located at the intersection of Wuling County and Changsha County, and is not far from Lingling County.

Sun Jian occupied this county seat, retreated to defend Changsha County, and advanced to attack Wuling County and Lingling County.

You only need to occupy this important town to be both offensive and defensive. If Cai Mao had listened to his advice at the beginning, starting from here and gathering all the soldiers and horses to attack Wuling County, he might not have the strength to fight with Guo Shi.

It's a pity that now, Cai Mao and Sun Jian have had an awkward quarrel and abandoned Sun Jian, leaving only Sun Jian's own 10,000 horses here, and Sun Jian doesn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, in the county seat, Sun Jian's camp.

"Cai Mao, this fuck off, he actually didn't listen to my advice, blindly defending, he did this, how could he defeat that Guo Shi and continue not to attack, then Guo Shi is only afraid that he will recuperate and regain his vitality, and recently I heard that Liu Zheng's bastard brought people over from Jiaozhou, so that their men and horses converge, and it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them."

Sun Jian sat on the main seat, and below him were his generals.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Han Dang are the most staunch supporters of the Sun family.

"Lord, that Cai Mao is narrow-eyed, only thinking about temporary gains and losses, and not attacking with us, in fact, I am afraid that we will not be at ease, after all, we can't completely rely on him."

Cheng Pu didn't trust Cai Mao himself, and after Cai Mao rejected their proposal to attack Wuling County this time, Cheng Pu had even more opinions about Cai Mao.

"Cai Mao is not terrible, Guo Shi is not terrible, what is terrible is that Liu Zheng, that guy is our biggest enemy, when we were in Runan, we suffered a big loss in his hands, my injuries, but I always remember it."

Sun Jian said as he pulled open the scar inside his clothes.

This was cut on Sun Jian when Liu Zheng and Pei Yuanshao joined forces against Sun Jian when they were in Runan City before.

The long scar looks extremely terrible, although the injury on Sun Jian's body is now healed, but the scar left in Sun Jian's heart cannot be recovered, Sun Jian did not find a place on Liu Zheng's body, it is impossible to put this matter down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is news that Liu Zheng went to Jiaozhou a few days ago, and had a battle with Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Zhu Fu, and occupied a great advantage, and now look at his men and horses appeared in Wuling County, I am afraid that Jiaozhou has already ended the battle, Liu Zheng's strength is too strong, if he can't strangle it in the cradle before he develops, and when his strength is further strengthened in the future, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with than Zhang Jiao, the Tiangong general of the Yellow Turban Army."

As soon as Sun Jian thought of Liu Zheng, the resentment in his heart became even greater.

"Lord, although Liu Zheng's strength is powerful, we can't worry too much, our strength is not bad now, thousands of soldiers and horses recruited from Changsha County are now on the way, and in a few days, we can reach Shaoyang, when the time comes, we have 15,000 soldiers and horses here, and it may be enough to take the initiative to attack, but it should be more than enough to defend the city and deal with Guo Shi and Liu Zheng."

Huang Gai calculated for a while, now Sun Jian's combat strength, although Huang Gai is not very clear about Liu Zheng's strength, but he knows that Liu Zheng cannot bring too many men and horses to the Jingzhou battlefield.

Here, after all, it is Guo Shi's territory, even if Liu Zheng comes, he can only help, if he really wants to fight with Sun Jian, he will definitely show his identity a long time ago.
