Chapter 246: Coming to Wuling

In fact, Gan Ning's victory over Sun Jian was not only because of the superiority in military strength, but also because Sun Jian underestimated the enemy.

Sun Jian started from Changsha, and the rebels of Guo Shi who killed all the way were defeated and retreated, and the Guo Shi rebels under Sun Jian alone already numbered tens of thousands, so in Sun Jian's eyes, these Guo Shi rebels were the same as the Yellow Turban rebels he eliminated at the beginning.

They are all fragile and motley troops, and they are no match for his men and horses at all, so when they encounter Gan Ning's men.

Sun Jian only thought that Gan Ning and these people were Guo Shi's subordinates, and without preparation, Sun Jian ordered people to attack the army that killed Gan Ning.

Although the number of men and horses on Sun Jian's side was relatively small, Sun Jian was not afraid and still ordered to attack.

As for Gan Ning, he had long known how powerful Sun Jian was, and after encountering Sun Jian in the wild, he was calm and calm, organized the defense according to the fighting method taught by Liu Zheng before, and ordered the soldiers under his command to defend Sun Jian's army little by little.

The soldiers and horses of both sides launched an attack and defense in the forest, and naturally, the result was predictable.

Gan Ning's side inflicted heavy losses on Sun Jian's army at the cost of losing a thousand people.

Sun Jian's army of 6,000 people was directly killed by Gan Ning, and the rest fled back to Changsha County from the battlefield with wounds.

Gan Ning wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop, but after Sun Jian's men fled back to Changsha, they were received by Liu Biaojun, who came to support.

Liu Biao's side has an army of 30,000, and the number is suddenly higher than that of Gan Ning, who has already experienced a big battle, and the soldiers under his command are tired, and it is not easy to continue the pursuit, so he simply brought people back.

A hearty victory immediately made Guo Shi, who was sweating for Gan Ning, overjoyed, Guo Shi at this time finally understood how terrible Liu Zhengjun was.

Immediately, he felt that the 5,000 gold he spent was worth it, although he did not kill Sun Jian in a battle, he also drove Sun Jian's soldiers and horses out of Wuling County directly, which greatly reduced Guo Shi's pressure.

As soon as this battle ended, Guo Shi was about to send someone to deliver a letter to Liu Zheng, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Zheng actually led 10,000 soldiers and horses and took the initiative to come over.

The county seat of Wuling County.

This is the county seat where Gan Ning led the army a few days ago and re-defeated.

Guo Shi was attacked by Liu Biao's army before, and even the county town had been lost, but now after being re-defeated by Gan Ning, he was also stationed here with him.

Guo Shi received the news that Liu Zheng would lead another 10,000 people over, and he was immediately overjoyed, and when Liu Zheng's army was about to arrive, he had already brought people out of the city to greet him.

Half a year ago, maybe Liu Zheng and Guo Shi were on an equal footing, but now, Liu Zheng, who has occupied an entire state and county in Jiaozhou, has far surpassed Guo Shi, and Guo Shi has to lower his identity.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses appeared outside the city of Wuling County, and from a distance, he saw a group of people standing outside the city of Wuling County, Gan Ning and Zhou Chao and others, standing at the front.

"Greetings to Qu Shuai!"

Zhou Chao and the others, when they saw Liu Zheng from a distance, immediately called out loudly, and let Liu Zheng wave his hand from the distant war horse, indicating that he had heard.

The war horse gradually approached, and when he saw Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, a smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

"Xingba, yes, I didn't expect your first battle to be so beautiful, you don't belong to the prestige of General Huang!"

Liu Zheng saw Gan Ning and immediately praised Gan Ning.

For Gan Ning's big victory, Liu Zheng also praised it, which can be regarded as avenging the previous battle in Runan.

Liu Zheng's praise made Gan Ning very useful, and his face immediately smiled, and being able to get Liu Zheng's praise naturally made Gan Ning happy.

"Haha, lord, it's all a fluke, I originally thought that this would be a bloody battle, even if I could defeat Sun Jian, it would definitely be a heavy injury, but I didn't expect that Sun Jian actually charged directly and launched a general attack on us, and was defeated by our army in this way."

Gan Ning excitedly described the process of this battle to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng had already learned the news from the other heralds who delivered the news, but he still glanced at it approvingly.

After talking a few words with Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, Liu Zheng looked at Guo Shi's body.

This is the first time Liu Zheng has met Guo Shi.

When he saw Guo Shi, Liu Zheng also took a closer look at Guo Shi.

A man in his thirties, with a little beard, is not strong, but dresses, which is different from Zhou Chao, Ou Xing and others.

Zhou Chao and Ou Xing were dressed more casually, while Guo Shi was more elegant, at least wearing the same robes as Han people.

"This is Guo Shida's master."

Liu Zheng's eyes fell on Guo Shi's body, and Guo Shi immediately responded to Liu Zheng with sincere fear.

"Exactly, I have admired Liu Zhengqushuai's prestige for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was the air and the appearance was extraordinary."

Guo Shi racked his brains and thought of two words.

"Let's go to the city, it's not a problem to stand here."

Liu Zheng didn't say anything to Guo Shi, but asked Guo Shi to lead everyone and the 10,000 troops that he brought behind him into the city.

In today's Wuling County, there are 10,000 troops of Gan Ning, 20,000 troops of Guo Shi, and 10,000 people brought by Liu Zhengxian.

With an army of 40,000, it is all the main force of Guo Shi at present.

Entering the hall in the city, Liu Zheng went directly to the main seat, Guo Shi saw that Liu Zheng was so casual, but he didn't mind, and sat on the seat on the left.

"Guo Shida, I brought people over this time, mainly to help you, I was worried that with Gan Ning's help, you people may not be Sun Jian's opponents, I didn't expect that I would win a big victory in one battle, but it made me worry a lot."

"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, although we defeated Sun Jian this time, but did not hit Sun Jian's roots, as far as I know, Sun Jian has a total of 14,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha County, this time although we killed nearly 3,000 of his men, but he still has more than 10,000 men and horses in Changsha."

"Moreover, what really makes me feel the crisis is Liu Biao's people, most of my people died in the hands of Liu Biao, this time Liu Biao sent 30,000 horses, and at this time they should have joined Sun Jian's people."

Guo Shi's control of intelligence is still clear, and after several failures, he also understands the importance of intelligence. So a lot of spies were dispatched.

"So, Liu Biao and Sun Jian's men and horses, a total of 40,000 people, are stationed near here?"

After Liu Zheng listened to Guo Shi's words, he said lightly.
