watched Sun Xia leave decisively.

Liu Zheng sighed, admiring Sun Xia and regretting it.

However, he still immediately ordered Zhou Cang, and asked Zhou Cang to take out some of the grain and grass looted from Luoyang and give it to Sun Xia.

Sun Xia took 30,000 people to attack Luoyang with him, and now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and the losses are not small, Liu Zheng still wants to make up for some of his losses.

After Sun Xia opened his mouth to leave, he gave Yang Feng and Guo Tai courage, and the two of them glanced at each other, and then brought it up.

"Shuai Qu, since you don't plan to continue to fight against the imperial court, then the two of us will say goodbye."

"Are you leaving, too? It's okay, after all, you're not from the south, and this time I decided to go south, maybe there are some unsuitables for you. ”

Regarding the idea of Yang Feng and Guo Tai also leaving, Liu Zheng didn't seem to be surprised.

After all, the strength of these two people is like this, Liu Zheng does not regard them as his henchmen, since it is better to leave.

Anyway, they joined Liu Zheng's command and didn't know much about the secrets in Liu Zheng's military camp.

Leaving at this time will save you trouble in the future.

"No problem, since the Tao is different, let's not conspire with each other, you two can also go to Zhou Cang, ask him to get some grain and grass, and then you can lead your own men and horses away."

Liu Zheng did not stop them from leaving, on the contrary, their departure was a little happy for Liu Zheng. After all, the people who stayed behind were the real brothers who could make friends, and they were also the ones who Liu Zheng would strengthen his own troops in the future.

After Sun Xia, Guo Tai, Yang Fengzhi and others left, the remaining people in the entire big tent were the core part of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, these people followed Liu Zheng a long time ago from a personal soldier to gradually grow up, and achieved such a hegemony now.

After they left, Liu Zheng began to confide in them, describing his next plans.

"Brothers, now that the Yellow Turban Army uprising has failed, it can be said that it has failed, if we continue to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely not bring us much benefit, on the contrary, it will continue to be remembered by the imperial court, and what I yearn for is just a peaceful and prosperous era, as for whether it is to continue to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, it doesn't matter much."

"Next, we will leave Runan County for Jingzhou."

"I don't know what Qu Shuai's next plan is when I go to Jingzhou?"

Liu Zhengzai said that he wanted to go to Jingzhou, and immediately got Zhang Zhongjing's question.

Zhang Zhongjing didn't know what Liu Zheng's purpose was when he went to Jingzhou, but he had already decided to tie up with Liu Zheng on a warship, and he still wanted to find out where Liu Zheng went.

"Actually, it's very simple, Mr. Zhongjing, now that the imperial court is worried about internal and external troubles, I want to stay away from the vicinity of Luoyang and develop and expand my strength, and Jingyang Erzhou is obviously a good choice, not only rich in products, but also has two freshwater lakes, even if there is a famine in various places, it is unlikely that there will be famine in these two states, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so they can avoid the chaos of war."

As a traverser, Liu Zheng naturally understands the two places of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. At the end of the Han Dynasty, before the Three Kingdoms, they were the two most peaceful states and counties, with no foreign invasion and few natural and man-made disasters.

At the same time, it has two major freshwater lakes, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake. It has abundant aquatic resources, and even in the famine years, people can still make a living by fishing.

Plus it's far from the imperial capital. Liu Zheng can expand his strength here and occupy the area around here first.

When the time comes, it will be wonderful to sit on the two counties of Jingyang and fight against the world.

The state of Wu, one of the three kingdoms in history, was able to compete with Cao Wei with only one county in Yangzhou. It is conceivable that the strength of Jing Yang and the two places. The Yangtze River alone is a natural danger that can stop the army from the north and south.

Moreover, the history of Jingyang is two places, and there are many clans and thieves.

Just the prince-level thief forces that Liu Zheng remembered in the game, there were Yan Baihu, Ou Xing and others.

These people were all thieves who rose in the late Han Dynasty, with tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 people, but they were unlucky and were wiped out by the Sun family in Jiangdong.

There is also the famous Jinfan thief Gan Ning, who was also born as a thief, as well as the famous generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin of Eastern Wu, who were all thieves who fell into the grass at first, and later followed Sun Ce, before they gradually became famous and became famous generals.

And Liu Zheng wants to go south, in fact, he also has the idea of looking for those famous generals.

"Okay, I understand, I don't have any opinion on Jingzhou, I also like it over there, and I can leave at any time."

After Zhang Zhongjing asked Liu Zheng a word, he didn't continue to say more.

And Zhang Zhongjing has no opinion, and the others naturally have no opinion.

Liu Zheng saw that everyone was silent, so he asked them to pack up recently, and began to tell the soldiers and horses below, and then they were going to leave Runan and go to Jingzhou.

Liu Zheng's most elite thousands of people, Liu Zheng plans to take them all, after all, they know the most important secret in Liu Zheng's army, Liu Zheng will not let them go, and at the same time, those newly recruited people, those people, Liu Zheng gives them their own choice of advice.

If they are unwilling to follow Liu Zheng and them to the south, Liu Zheng will give them some food so that they can be self-reliant, and if they are willing to follow Liu Zheng to the south, they will ensure that they eat and drink, at least they will not starve to death in this troubled world.

The reason why Liu Zheng wants these people to choose whether to go south with him or not is actually because Liu Zheng now has a big family and a large number of soldiers and horses, more than 50,000 people.

Even if Sun Xia, Guo Tai and others left and took some of the people with them, they still had more than 40,000 people.

These more than 40,000 people, in a short period of time, or in the war years, eat and drink without worry, and can completely feed the war with war, but once there is no war, Liu Zheng will take them south to beg for a living, and the grain and grass alone is not a small amount.

Although he snatched a lot of grain and grass from Luoyang, the amount was enough for tens of thousands of them to eat for a year or two.

But after a year or two, there is always a need for more grain and grass to consume.

Therefore, it can reduce some people who are unwilling to become soldiers, and Liu Zheng is willing to do so.

In this way, Liu Zheng's orders were soon implemented, and to Liu Zheng's surprise, he thought that there would be many people who were unwilling to continue to be soldiers, and would choose to disarm and return to the fields to continue to be farmers.

But Liu Zheng underestimated the fear of these people brought about by the famine, and out of more than 40,000 people, there were only more than 100 people, saying that they were unwilling to follow Liu Zheng's army south.

The rest of the people chose to follow Liu Zheng, just to have a full bite to eat.
