Liu Zheng's men and horses did not stay on this official road for too long.

They followed the official road all the way west to Nanyang.

Nanyang County may be relatively unfamiliar to Liu Zheng, but it is not unfamiliar to Xu You.

Xu You himself is from Nanyang County, so if Xu You leads everyone to Nanyang, he will not get lost.

Nanyang's side, at this time, was basically under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng, since the Yellow Turban Uprising in February, not long after, beheaded many officials of Nanyang County, occupied Wancheng, and then the beacon of the uprising soon burned to the entire county of Nanyang County.

Now Nanyang County is basically under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is gradually expanding outward.

However, Liu Zheng calculated the time, and now it is the end of May, and with his understanding of history, God has made Zhang Mancheng have no long way to live.

In Liu Zheng's impression, there will soon be a new Nanyang Taishou who will organize a wave of people to unite with the Zhonglang generals who came from the direction of Runan to kill Zhang Mancheng.

The battle of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang became more and more difficult.

As for Liu Zheng, what he thought in his heart, if Zhang Mancheng can be saved, then it is best to save him, after all, the longer the Yellow Turban Army exists, the more beneficial it will be to Liu Zheng.

They went all the way to Nanyang County and did not go straight to Wancheng and Xinye City.

Instead, he found a county seat called Ye County and stationed first.

Ye County, located at the junction of Nanyang County and Runan County, is not far away, and it is also the only way to get from Runan County to Nanyang County.

If Liu Zheng and the others want to temporarily recuperate here, there is no problem, the only thing to worry about is the officers and soldiers who came from Runan.

However, it is better to stay in a county town for a while than to encounter the officers and soldiers in the field.

At least in the county seat, they can rely on the convenience of the city wall to fight a protracted war with the official army.

As soon as he arrived in Ye County, Liu Zheng immediately ordered his current men and horses to take over all the city defense work in Ye County, and at the same time do the same thing as the last time he was in Quyang County.

While stepping up to let Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao train cavalry, he sent people to the city to collect arrows and spears, and if they didn't have them, they would cut down trees and make wooden spears themselves.

At the same time, let Xu Huang transfer some people with better cavalry to act as scouts, and formed a scout team of thirty people, and let these scouts be dispatched first, paying close attention to the dynamics of the official army.

And he himself was not idle, took Zhou Cang and Xu You, and went straight to Wancheng.

When I came to Nanyang, if I didn't go to see the divine envoy, Zhang Mancheng, Liu Zheng couldn't say anything.

After all, when he came to Nanyang, he still had to rely on Zhang Mancheng, and he also counted on Zhang Mancheng to bring him some help.

And the reason why he didn't bring his own soldiers and horses over, Liu Zheng also had his own plans.

When he was in Runan City, he only had more than a hundred war horses, which had already attracted the covetousness of Runan He Yi and these guys, and now he has hundreds of war horses, if he directly pulled to Nanyang Wancheng, it may cause Zhang Mancheng's greed.

When he hadn't seen Zhang Mancheng and didn't know what kind of character that guy was, Liu Zheng didn't want to take this risk, more than one thing was better than less.

Moreover, after the battle of Runan, Liu Zheng was quite afraid of the siege of the official army, if all the men and horses gathered in Wancheng, the official army besieged the city again.

I'm afraid that it will be another tragic battle, Liu Zheng doesn't want to take this risk, it is better to fight with most of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, first, the number of troops under his command is small, and it will not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.

With Zhang Mancheng and others supporting him in Nanyang, the main energy of the officers and soldiers will be on Zhang Mancheng, and Liu Zheng can slow down and give him some opportunities for development.

However, he wore Zhou Cang to see Zhang Mancheng because Zhou Cang was the old man of the Yellow Turban Army, and he Liu Zheng was just a newly canonized Xiaoqu Shuai, and he had never seen such a big man as Zhang Mancheng.

rashly went over to see Zhang Mancheng, and was really a little worried that Zhang Mancheng would not see him.

Hurry up, Liu Zheng and others, half a day's effort, arrived in Wancheng.

There are 100,000 Yellow Turban troops under Zhang Mancheng stationed here, and if you count the people in the city, the entire Wancheng has a population of more than 300,000.

After Zhang Mancheng occupied Wancheng, although the tentacles began to spread in other parts of Jingzhou, the battle was not particularly smooth.

After some communication, Liu Zheng, under the leadership of several Yellow Turban Army, met Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Mancheng is a little younger than Bo Cai.

When Liu Zheng saw Zhang Mancheng, he felt that this guy was a little burly, and the grapevine said that this guy was Zhang Jiao's illegitimate son, I don't know if it was true or not, and he was also the next leader of the Yellow Turban Sect appointed by Zhang Jiao.

It's a pity that his life is short, and he hangs up one step ahead of Zhang Jiao.

"Liu Zheng has seen the divine envoy."

As soon as he entered the big tent, Liu Zheng took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Mancheng.

And Zhou Cang and Xu Yu also saluted.

Zhang Mancheng glanced at Liu Zheng, Zhou Cang and others.

"Zhou Cang, aren't you under that guy Bocai, why did you come to my Nanyang?"

Zhang Mancheng ignored Liu Zheng, after all, Zhang Mancheng had never seen Liu Zheng, but was quite familiar with Zhou Cang, so he could only ask Zhou Cang first.

Liu Zheng knew that Zhang Mancheng was deliberately snubbing himself, so he didn't continue to speak, but waited for Zhou Cang and Zhang Mancheng to chat first.

"Returning to the envoy, this matter is a long story, Bocai Daqu Shuai, may have encountered an accident!"

Zhou Cang's face was gloomy, and his words were a little dull, but he still responded to Zhang Mancheng at this time.

Zhang Mancheng was originally a little casual and seemed to be absent-minded, but after hearing Zhou Cang's words, his face immediately changed, and he immediately turned his head and asked Zhou Cang very excitedly.

"What do you say? What happened to Bocai? ”

Zhang Mancheng's words made Zhou Cang continue to explain to him.

Zhou Cang's defeat of Bocai from Changshe, and the continued defeat of Chen Guo, and finally being surrounded and exterminated by the official army in Runan, are introduced in a long story short.

The more Zhang Mancheng listened, the darker his face became.

Especially when he heard that Runan City and He Yi's brothers betrayed the yellow scarf with Huang Shao, Zhang Mancheng's whole face seemed to be a different person.

Syllable!

As soon as Zhou Cang's words were finished, Zhang Mancheng stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, startling Liu Zheng.

"How can this be true? He Yi, this dog thing, actually dares to betray my teaching! I'm going to destroy him all over!" ”

Zhang Mancheng shouted angrily, which shows that he is really angry.

"Envoy, now we still have nearly 7,000 people, breaking through from Runan, and are currently stationed in Nanyang Ye County, this Liu Zheng brother is Xiaoqu Shuai who was canonized by Daqu Shuai Bocai, and now we are under his command!"
