Chapter 572: Wu Anguo
"Looking at the appearance of these enemy troops outside the city, it seems that they don't plan to attack the city, and they want to besiege the city here, but I'm afraid that we will have a hard time in the future."
"What are you afraid of, miss, we still have 40,000 people here, and there is no shortage of food in a short time, if they want to besiege the city, let them besiege it, as long as they hold on for a while, I don't think it's us who are in a hurry, it's them!"
Guan Hai is not too worried about these enemies outside the city, although Guan Hai has also seen the strength of the enemy army in a previous battle, but with the convenience of the city wall, these enemies do not have enough siege equipment, and it is not so easy to take Beihai City.
Because of this, Guan Hai felt that they could hold on for a while longer.
"Chu Yan, let him rest more, let him be on duty tonight, and you and him take turns to rest."
"Yes, miss."
Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao did not take the initiative to attack Zhang Ning's Beihai City, during this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were not idle at all.
While sending people to recover other county seats, they besieged Zhang Ning's men and horses, wanting to knock down the nearby cities first, and when they were in the end, Zhang Ning couldn't bear it, and then came to clean up Zhang Ning's last Yellow Turban Army.
In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate for a few more days.
After a few days, although Zhang Ning's Beihai City has not had any crisis for the time being, all the surrounding counties and towns have been recovered by Liu Bei and others.
On the coast of Dongnae County, a fishing village.
It is a bit wrong to say that this is a fishing village, because it has become prosperous since it was selected as a transit station by Liu Zheng's merchant ships.
There are usually several ships a day, but because there are more ships coming and going, it is natural that the place will become popular, and the more people will naturally gather.
Of course, most of the people under Liu Zheng's command are stationed here.
Some of them are the hundreds of sailors stationed here by Liu Zheng, as well as the stewards left behind by the Mi family caravan, and various recruited workers.
When Liu Zheng's naval fleet docked here, the person in charge of this dock immediately came to contact, and at the same time reported to Liu Zheng about his work during this period and the local situation in Qingzhou.
The steward on the dock is called Wu Anhong, a native of Qingzhou, the last time Liu Zheng stayed here and established the dock, the first batch of people recruited, because of their outstanding performance and good ability, so in just over a year, they were mixed into the position of the principal.
When Liu Zheng's army got off the ship, he called Wu Anhong to inquire about the local situation, of course, mainly to inquire about Zhang Ninghe's situation.
Although these people arranged by Liu Zheng on this dock are mainly business-oriented, some of them are naturally tasked with the identity of meticulous work, and collecting intelligence on Qingzhou on weekdays is also something they need to do.
So when Liu Zheng asked, they were basically able to tell Liu Zheng the information they controlled one by one.
"My lord, the situation in Qingzhou is not optimistic now, the imperial army has wiped out the Yellow Turban Army, and only a part of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party are still resisting."
"Well, I know all these situations, you can tell you something specific."
The things described by Wu Anhong were not detailed, and after Liu Zheng nodded, he didn't say much, just asked him to say it in detail.
"The seven counties below Qingzhou, now Pingyuan County, Jinan County, Qi County, Le'an County, and Chengyang County have all been recovered by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, leaving only a part of Zhang Ning's Yellow Turban Army to guard Beihai and Donglai County, but just in the last few days, our spies have found that some of the court's men and horses are detouring from Langya County and attacking Donglai."
Qingzhou is a peninsula, the geographical location is not very good, in the ancient sea is not convenient situation, the territory of Qingzhou, can be regarded as the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, relatively few places.
And Beihai and Donglai occupy half of the entire Qingzhou, in fact, if you only occupy Beihai and Donglai, it can also be said to occupy half of Qingzhou.
Originally, Liu Zheng heard Wu Anhong say that at least Beihai and Donglai were still in Zhang Ning's hands, and there was still a fight in this battle.
But when he heard Wu Anhong say that some of the officers and soldiers actually took a detour from Langya County and wanted him to attack Donglai, Liu Zheng couldn't help but be interested.
"You said someone was going to attack Donglai, what's going on?"
Liu Zheng's curiosity made Wu Anhong dare not slack off, and immediately told Liu Zheng the information he had.
"Back to the lord, I also learned this news from my brother, our Wu'an Village is close to Langya County, when I went back to the village to see my mother the day before yesterday, I heard from the people in the village that there are some officers and soldiers who are gathering in Langya, and it seems that it is possible to attack Donglai from Langya."
"Langya County and Donglai County are adjacent to each other, the two places are actually not far away, and you can directly attack Donglai by bypassing Beihai County."
Wu Anhong's explanation immediately made Liu Zheng understand the location of Langya County, Liu Zheng naturally knew that it was just below Donglai County, and when they came by boat, they also needed to pass through the coastline belonging to Langya County.
However, Langya County belongs to Xuzhou, Liu Zheng didn't care much about it before, and now it seems that Liu Bei and others have already prepared, on the one hand, they contain Zhang Ning in Beihai, and on the other hand, let other people go around from Langya to attack Donglai.
As long as Donglai is attacked by surprise, there will only be a lonely city left in Beihai, and when the time comes, it will really be called every day, and the earth will not be spiritual, so it can only wait to be surrounded and killed by Liu Bei's army.
"This matter is very important, Wu Anhong, you take me over to see it immediately."
Liu Zheng was not worried about the matter in Beihai for the time being, because he already knew that Liu Bei and the others were not in a hurry to attack the city, and the two sides seemed to have formed a state of confrontation, but the situation on Donglai's side made Liu Zheng very nervous.
Once there are really officials and soldiers coming from Langya, then Liu Zheng really needs to get these people first.
Otherwise, he rashly went to Beihai and was cut off by these people, which would be really bad.
"Yes, my lord, I will let my brother take the adults to our village."
"Your brother?"
Wu Anhong nodded, then turned around respectfully, beckoned into the distance, and a burly man, after seeing it, trotted all the way and appeared in front of Liu Zheng.
"My lord, this is my brother, Wu Anguo."
"Second brother, come and meet the lord."
Wu Anhong first introduced the strong man next to Liu Zheng, and at the same time introduced Liu Zheng to the younger brother next to him.
Liu Zheng didn't care about it at first, but when he heard Wu Anhong introduce his brother's name, he was stunned.
"You said your brother's name is Wu Anguo?"
