"Ladies and gentlemen, although we are short of troops now, we still have to discuss how to deal with Liu Zheng and Na Guo Shi, only by quelling those rebels as soon as possible can we occupy more territory."

Although Sun Jian's army was at a disadvantage at this time and did not dare to take the initiative to attack Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's soldiers and horses, Sun Jian did not give up, but wanted to ask the soldiers in front of him how to defend and Liu Zheng's possible attack.

"Lord, now we don't have enough troops, we don't dare to take the initiative to attack, but we can't be unguarded, Liu Zheng will send someone to attack us, if he finds an opportunity, we have a little manpower, it is not so easy to block him, so we should arrange in advance."

"That's why I've asked you to come over and discuss how to deal with it."

"This is simple, we occupy Shaoyang County, mainly Shaoyang County, even if Liu Zheng sends people to attack, relying on the power of the county city's city wall, it is not so easy for him to take down the county seat, and secondly, we will arrange some defensive measures in the city tower and outside the city, so that Liu Zheng is not so easy to attack the county seat, by the way, we must also send a team of soldiers and horses to Cai Mao's location at any time to ask for help."

Cheng Pu immediately began to describe his thoughts to Sun Jian.

"Although our army and Cai Mao are not very happy, but after all, they are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, if Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's men and horses attack us, I think Cai Mao should still know the overall situation and send people over to help us jointly exterminate those rebels."

After Cheng Pu finished speaking his thoughts to Sun Jian, Sun Jian immediately nodded.

"Yes, what General Cheng Pu said, is exactly what I want, and then we have to make some precautions, General Zu Mao, you led the headquarters of two thousand soldiers and horses stationed ten miles outside the city, strictly guard, pay close attention, the dynamics in the direction of Wuling County, once you find that there is a movement of soldiers and horses, immediately come to report, at the same time, General Huang Gai and General Cheng Pu will station the headquarters of soldiers and horses in Shaoyang City to pay close attention to the surrounding dynamics, and be sure to make sure that the city defense facilities are readily available."

Sun Jian immediately rushed to the several generals present and began to order the next response situation and take defensive measures in advance.

"As for Han Dang, you will lead a team of more than ten people to hide somewhere outside the city, once Liu Zheng's men and horses really appear here, you will immediately go to find Cai Mao, and let Cai Mao wave his troops to deal with Liu Zheng with us, as long as Cai Mao's people can be with us, Liu Zheng has nothing to fear."

Sun Jian arranged the next things in a row, and the generals present immediately took the order and left.

And not long after these people left, several spies immediately hurried over.

"Report, general, the movement of the enemy army has been discovered fifty miles outside the city!"

Sun Jian was still looking at the sand table in the big tent at this time, deducing how to block Liu Zhengjun's attack.

But at this time, he heard the news that the herald had found Liu Zheng outside the city.

Immediately made Sun Jian's face frown, and he was immediately embarrassed, and hurriedly replied.

"How many people are on the other side? Is it Liu Zheng's army? ”

"General Hui, it is not clear how many people there are on the other side for the time being, but it can be determined that they are from Wuling County, and they should not be the men and horses under Guo Shi, or those who defeated our army last time."

Although the herald has not yet found out the dynamics and news of the enemy army. But Sun Jian was already able to imagine something at this time, and he snorted coldly at the moment.

"Hmph, there's no need to ask, I can probably think of the people outside the city, it should be those under Liu Zheng's command, after all, how dare Guo Shi dare to take the initiative to attack us?"

"But at this time, even if Liu Zheng comes to attack, we don't have to worry, fortunately, I ordered my generals to deal with it before, at this time, I am afraid that they have already taken perfect precautions, and Liu Zheng's army is still fifty miles away from us, and it will not be there for a while."

Sun Jian didn't show worry when he heard the news, he had already ordered his generals to deal with the possible attack of Liu Zhengjun, but he didn't expect him to give the order, and it didn't take long for him to really receive the news of Liu Zheng's men attacking.

At this time, the generals under his command should be on guard everywhere, even if Liu Zheng's army hits the city of Shaoyang, they have enough men and horses in the city to rely on the city to defend.

Fifty miles is actually not far, Gan Ning and the others marched in a hurry, and it only took an hour to reach the city of Shaoyang.

When Gan Ning's soldiers and horses arrived not far outside Shaoyang County, the two thousand soldiers and horses sent by Sun Jian had already discovered Gan Ning.

However, he did not fight with Gan Ning, Zu Mao knew that his strength was not enough, and after discovering that Gan Ning's number far exceeded him, he quickly chose to evacuate, and withdrew to Shaoyang City in a very short time.

At this time, Sun Jian and the others climbed up to the city tower and learned about the menacing Liu Zhengjun, and the leader was the Gan Ning army that fought with them last time.

Gan Ning's vanguard army, no more than 10,000 people, when they arrived at the city of Shaoyang County, they happened to see Sun Jian and other generals in Shaoyang City.

"Let's get the name together!"

Sun Jian saw Gan Ning and a group of people from a distance to kill under Shaoyang City and surround the entire Shaoyang City.

The last battle with Sun Jian happened so suddenly that Sun Jian didn't even understand who these people were, and before he could even figure out which troops under his command these people were, he was defeated miserably and just fled.

So after seeing Gan Ning this time, Sun Jian wanted to ask these horses in front of him if they were the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command.

Gan Ning heard Sun Jian's inquiry from a distance on the city tower, but he did not directly answer Sun Jian's words.

Instead, after scanning the horse left and right, he turned his gaze on Sun Jian's body.

There was a big battle with Sun Jian, and Gan Ning naturally knew who the coach was.

"Defeated, did you forget my name so quickly?"

Although Gan Ning is young, his momentum is not lost to Sun Jian at all, and after seeing Sun Jian's aggressive momentum on the city tower, he answered Sun Jian in one sentence and made Sun Jian breathe.

"Hmph, last time you didn't win a martial arts, you can't count, I think you are a hero, why bother with thieves, it's better to take refuge in me, I will protect you to honor your ancestors and serve the court!"

Sun Jian actually didn't know Gan Ning's name at all, he just saw that Gan Ning's strength was good, and he had some love for talent, if he could subdue Gan Ning, Sun Jian's strength would definitely rise, but now he didn't even know Gan Ning's name, and if he wanted to be close to Gan Ning, he couldn't start.

"The Tao is not the same, Sun Jian, I still want to persuade you to join the rebel army as soon as possible and fight against the imperial court, I don't know if you are willing."

"Hmph, it seems that you rebels, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and when I catch you all, you will know that you will regret it."

"Regrets? I'm willing to do things and never regret it, and just because you're a defeated general, you still want to defeat me, it's just a fool's dream! ”

Gan Ning immediately disdained Sun Jian's words, but at this time, Gan Ning did not take the initiative to attack, but simply surrounded Shaoyang City.

And Sun Jian also didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, after all, he had already arranged it before, Han Dang with a team of more than a dozen people had secretly gone out of the city before, hiding outside Shaoyang City, and now Gan Ning's men and horses appeared here.

Han Dang will definitely go directly to Cai Mao's camp as agreed before, and go to Cai Mao for help.

When Cai Mao's army arrives, Shaoyang City has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can directly wipe out the 10,000 troops in front of Gan Ning.

In fact, if it was only Gan Ning's 10,000 horses, he didn't need Cai Mao, Sun Jian was sure and could deal with it, but Sun Jian was worried that Gan Ning still had other hidden people, so he didn't take the initiative to attack, but wanted to wait for Cai Mao's people to arrive, and then take the initiative to attack, and the certainty at that time was greater.

"Gan Ning, you are besieging the city and not attacking, are you waiting for reinforcements?"

Sun Jian observed back and forth on the city tower, and Gan Ning's men and horses did not completely surround Shaoyang City, but only surrounded three city gates.

Leaving a city gate leading to Changsha County without sending any soldiers and horses to garrison it, Sun Jian didn't understand this operation.

But in general, Sun Jian still wanted to get it, but he was afraid that Gan Ning wanted them to escape from the city and take the gate where no one was stationed.

Tempting Sun Jian's people in Shaoyang City out of the city, after all, once Sun Jian's people are out of the city, it is much easier to fight in the field than to fight in Shaoyang City.

"Well, I don't hide anything, Sun Jian, I am indeed waiting for reinforcements, the 20,000 troops of Guo Shi's family are rushing over, and when Guo Shi's army arrives, the more than 10,000 people you have here are not our opponents at all, you just wait for death."

Gan Ning showed a hint of excitement on his face, and seemed to say a word to Sun Jian as if he was showing off.

And when Sun Jian heard Gan Ning's words, he smiled coldly.

When it comes to Guo Shi, Sun Jian is not afraid at all, although there are more than 20,000 people under Guo Shi's command, but Guo Shi's men and horses are nothing at all, Sun Jian's men and horses can easily defeat Guo Shi, and what really makes Sun Jian jealous is only Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

Liu Zheng's strength is enough to make Sun Jian feel threatened, after all, from the beginning of the first battle in Runan, Sun Jian has already seen that Liu Zheng is not a person to be messed with.

Especially a series of things that Liu Zheng experienced later, which made Sun Jian more and more jealous of Liu Zheng.

"I'm afraid, you want to trick me out of the city, I won't be fooled, if you have the ability, just come to attack the city, I won't be afraid of you."

Sun Jian responded coldly, and after that, he no longer paid attention to Gan Ning.

On Shaoyang City, Sun Jianjun's men and horses were in full standby, and they all paid close attention to the enemy troops outside the city, while Gan Ning casually ordered the soldiers and horses around him to only surround the three gates of Shaoyang City, and not attack at all.

I waited like this for a day.

Gan Ning waited for Liu Zheng's headquarters army.
