"Hey, stinky rascal, are you really going to Jingzhou?"

After Liu Zheng gave the order to evacuate Runan, Cai Yao also heard the news from the mouths of some Yellow Turban soldiers.

So Cai Yao hurriedly found Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng looked at Cai Yao, he almost forgot about this girl.

After all, there have been too many things recently, and he has just returned from the Tiger Prison Pass, and he is preparing for the evacuation, so Cai Yao is naturally forgotten.

Seeing Cai Yao at this time, Liu Zheng immediately decided that there were some things to clarify with her.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, because something happened, we may have to leave Runan, if you don't want to go south with us, you can go back to Xiangyang, I won't stop you."

For Cai Yao, in fact, Liu Zheng never looked at him as a prisoner.

Left her before, just because Cai Mao's money was not taken, and later Cai Mao's ransom arrived, Liu Zheng didn't plan to keep him, but she took the initiative to stay, and Liu Zheng didn't drive her away.

Now that he wants to go south to Jingzhou, although Cai Yao is originally from Jingzhou, it is not a way to always follow these thieves to wander around.

If Cai Yao wanted to go back, Liu Zheng was still willing to let him go back.

"Go back to Xiangyang, I don't want to, what's good about Xiangyang, it's better if you want to go south to Jingzhou, I'm a person from Jingzhou, I'm going to follow you."

"Ha, interesting, you girl is relying on me, do you know what we went to Jingzhou for this time?"

When Liu Zheng heard Cai Yao's words, he became interested for a while, and simply chatted with her.

Anyway, after such a short period of contact with Cai Yao, Liu Zheng already knew that Cai Yao was a very smart girl.

"What else can you do when you go south, naturally it is to avoid trouble, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou has been wiped out, and now in the entire Han world, there is only one Yellow Turban Army left in Runan, and a Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang is still struggling to support."

"Although I haven't known you for a long time, I can see that you are very thoughtful, and you don't look like a person who will be loyal to the Yellow Turban Army at all, so you definitely don't want to continue to confront the official army, you should want to stay away from the radiation area of the Han Dynasty and go farther, so that it will be more difficult for the court to encircle and suppress you, do you think I guessed right?"

Cai Yao's short sentence really impressed Liu Zheng, he was able to guess Liu Zheng's thoughts just by virtue of what happened in Jizhou, and even she shouldn't know what happened in Luoyang.

If she knew that the Han Emperor in Luoyang was dead, and the general He Jin had the right to tilt the government and the opposition, I don't know what else she thought.

"You guessed right, but you only know part of the reason, although a large part of the reason why I left is because of the fall of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army has no successor, and there is no way to return to the sky, but the other part of the reason is that not long ago, I was in Luoyang, and I saw the Han Emperor Liu Hong shot by the general He Jin's men and horses, and the world was about to be in chaos."

Liu Zheng briefly told Cai Yao about the death of Emperor Han, Cai Yao was startled, and his little face immediately showed a trace of panic.

"Emperor Han is actually dead, this ...... How is this possible? ”

"Impossible? What is impossible, I have seen him hit by an arrow with my own eyes, and most of them cannot be saved. ”

Liu Zheng smiled faintly.

"It's no wonder, no wonder you want to leave so quickly, as soon as the Han Emperor dies, in a short period of time, this land of Gyeonggi must be in chaos, and it is good to leave."

After Cai Yao understood Liu Zheng's words, she nodded.

"Yes, you girl, you can pack up now, we're going to leave here soon."

"I don't have anything to pack, and I don't have many things anyway, but I'm curious, where are you going to Jingzhou now?"

"What place? Let's go to Changsha County. ”

Liu Zheng originally wanted to go to Jiangxia County, because this is the junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and it is a better place to fish in troubled waters.

Coupled with the appointment of Qin Jie, the original governor of Jiangxia, as the Taishou of Nanyang, Jiangxia was in a place where there was no capable person to control for a while.

However, Liu Zheng thought about it carefully, and still felt that Jiangxia was not a good place, first of all, the clan here was strong, and the more famous one was the Jiangxia Huang family, and in later generations, there would be a Jiangxia Hall in the ancestral hall of the descendants of the Huang family, which was the source of this Jiangxia.

Jiangxia here before the Huang Kingdom, most of the Huang family's children, the Three Kingdoms period, quite famous is, the local strong Huang Zu, such as Huang Zhong, Huang Gai, Huang Chengyan and others, in terms of seniority, are all from Jiangxia Huang.

If Liu Zheng marched into Jiangxia with great fanfare, he would inevitably be strictly resisted by Jiangxia's men, just like Zhang Mancheng's men and horses before, who always wanted to capture Jiangxia, but did not succeed.

The current Liu Zheng didn't want to fight, so all he needed was to recuperate and train his soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Jiangxia County is not the most ideal place, but Changsha County is more familiar to Liu Zheng.

In his previous life, Liu Zheng was a person near Changsha County, and he knew that the rivers in Changsha County were intricate, connecting the waters of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, with well-developed waterways, and there were many small natural reservoirs between the two lakes.

When Liu Zheng was a child, he lived in a city next door to Changsha, where there were more than a dozen large and small reservoirs, all of which were far away from the city. The geographical location is hidden, and the water area extends in all directions, forming dozens of small islands of different sizes.

If Liu Zheng can occupy a reservoir as the foundation, let the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command stay away from the land of war, and then gradually plot the world, it will definitely have a surprising effect.

"Changsha County? Isn't that a barren place? ”

Liu Zheng's words made Cai Yao slightly stunned.

"Barren land?"

At this time, Liu Zheng didn't quite understand what Cai Yao's words meant.

"Don't you know?"

"Although Changsha County said that counties had been established as early as the pre-Qin period, but in this place, there are many mountains, and it is not easy to march, and it is difficult for Wang Shi to exterminate the Shanyue people who are entrenched in these mountains, so these places, a large part, are occupied by some Shanyue people, in addition to the county town may also belong to the imperial court, other small county towns, are thieves who do not pay royal taxes."

Cai Yao thought that Liu Zheng didn't know these things, and hurriedly reminded Liu Zheng.

But after trying to listen, he smiled faintly, and quickly replied to Cai Yao.

"Hehe, it turns out that you are talking about this, then you don't have to worry, I have taken a fancy to these things. If it weren't for these Shanyue people, I wouldn't have planned to go to Changsha County. ”
