Chapter 803: Trapped in Gangneung
Liu Zheng and Xu Huang led their men and horses to pursue Zhang Liao here at the same time.
Zhang Liao and these people soon arrived near Jiangling City.
Jiangling City, as early as a few days ago, had been occupied by Huang Zhong's men, and now the entire Jiangling was occupied by Lejin and Li Dian.
When Zhang Liao and the others approached Jiangling City, they did not directly rush to Jiangling City with a large army, but sent two people to come and test it.
"Who are the people on the tower? General Ding Yuan is available? ”
The people under the city shouted at the tower, trying to determine whether this Gangneung City still belonged to Ding Yuan.
Li Dian on the city tower didn't know that these people who came over were Zhang Liao, and now he only thought that these people were people who came for a routine inspection.
"Ding Yuan? Hahaha, haven't you figured it out, this place has long been occupied by His Majesty Liu Zheng, where are you from? ”
As soon as these two guards heard Li Dian's words on the city tower, their faces immediately changed greatly, revealing that worried look.
They didn't say much to the people on the castle tower at all, and immediately turned back.
The news was told to Zhang Liao and Liu Qi.
When Liu Qi and Zhang Liao heard the news, they were shocked, even if they had been prepared for a long time, but when they really heard the news, they still couldn't hold back.
"It's over, it's over, Jiangling is lost, what should we do now, General Wenyuan, what are we going to do!"
Although Liu Qi is older than Zhang Liao, he is not as calm and steady as Zhang Liao, and when he heard the news, he was dumbfounded, and immediately asked Zhang Liao what to do next.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect General Ding Yuan to not even be able to defend Jiangling! It's no wonder that these days, when we were defending Hanyang, we didn't get reinforcements from General Ding Yuan, and it seems that they were also attacked by Liu Zheng's men. ”
If Zhang Liao thought about it carefully, he figured out some things here, but at this time, it was useless.
After all, Liu Zheng's men and horses had already occupied Jiangling, and Zhang Liao and Liu Qi could only withdraw from Jiangling.
"For today's plan, now I have to return to Xiangyang, go to Xiangyang to have a look, and see if Lord Liu Biao is still in Xiangyang."
Zhang Liao has no way to help Liu Qi at this time, for the sake of now, he can only go to Xiangyang to have a look, if Xiangyang also falls, then Zhang Liao really has no choice.
Originally, Zhang Liao and Liu Qi had already planned to go directly to Xiangyang from here.
But at this time, Xu Huang, Liu Zheng and others, who were chasing from the rear, were already approaching Jiangling.
"Report! General, a large number of enemy troops have appeared behind us! ”
The herald passed the news to Zhang Liao, and immediately made Zhang Liao stunned on the spot, he didn't even have time to command his soldiers and horses, just stood outside, and saw that many people and horses had already surrounded them.
At this time, Liu Zheng's army surrounded the outside of Jiangling City, and immediately cut off Zhang Liao and Liu Qi's road to Xiangyang.
For the rest, there are only two paths left.
One way is that Zhang Liao and Liu Qi directly engage Liu Zheng.
The other way is to retreat to Gangneung City and attack Gangneung.
Liu Qi had already been a little disappointed because of the blow here in Jiangling County, but now that he saw that his retreat was blocked again, this time, his spirit became a little weak, and he didn't dare to say anything.
can only look at Zhang Liao with his own eyes, counting on Zhang Liao to give him a decision.
In this situation, Zhang Liao could not do anything, so he could only bring his own people to the field in person and come out to compete with Liu Zheng's people.
The armies of both sides surrounded it, but Liu Zheng did not directly order the attack.
Instead, he immediately took the initiative to stand up and shouted at the enemies on the opposite side.
"Zhang Liao, Liu Qi, you can come out and talk about it."
Zhang Liao walked out of the crowd with his cronies, and heard people in the distance shouting his name, Zhang Liao had some doubts, but still stood up.
"What?"
"Your Excellency is Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, young, but brave and strategic, he is indeed a good general, and it is worthy that Xu Huang has always admired you in front of me."
Liu Zheng took the initiative to stand up and looked at Zhang Liao, the current Zhang Liao, who is like Liu Zheng who has just crossed into this world, young and vigorous, and unscrupulous, always wanting to do a big career and become famous.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Liao didn't know Liu Zheng, after all, when Liu Zheng and Ding Yuan were at war, Zhang Liao never appeared, and until Liu Zheng was here, he also met Zhang Liao for the first time.
"Hahaha, the general has been fighting with my people for so long, don't you know who I am?"
Liu Zheng shouted at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao is not stupid, when he saw Liu Zheng say this, he understood the identity of the person in front of him.
"You...... You are Liu Zheng! ”
Zhang Liao asked in surprise, and as soon as he said this sentence, Liu Qi, who was standing next to Zhang Liao, was surprised.
"Well, yes, I'm Liu Zheng."
"Liu Zheng, what happened to your father?"
Zhang Liao was still immersed in shock, but Liu Qi couldn't help it anymore and asked Liu Zheng directly.
After he learned that Jiangling and Xiangyang had been occupied by Liu Zheng's men, he paid great attention to his father's news.
Looking at Liu Qi's anxious eyes, Liu Zheng understood that this guy was a filial son.
It's a pity that Liu Biao in history didn't treat his son well, if Liu Biao could have set his heir early, he would not have lost Jingzhou.
It was precisely because of Liu Biao's decision to abolish the elders and establish the young that Liu Biao's forces ended their rule over Jingzhou.
"Are you Liu Qi, don't worry, your father is still alive and well, I don't have the habit of torturing and killing prisoners, he is now sent to the countryside by me to retire, I came this time to persuade you to go back to the countryside with your father to farm."
Liu Zheng half-jokingly responded to Liu Qi.
When Liu Qi heard Liu Zheng say that his father was not in danger for the time being, his face looked better, but when he heard Liu Zheng say that he went back to the countryside to farm, his whole face still became ugly.
Zhang Liao, who was on the side, finally figured it out at this time, and immediately shouted at Liu Zheng.
"Lord Liu Zheng, so we are now alone, and the whole of Jingzhou has fallen into your hands?"
"Wen Yuan is still smart, you should also understand, the purpose of my coming to see you in person, surrender, don't make any more soldiers, you people and horses can't escape from my palm."
