Liu Zheng's military tent.

Yuan Yao respectfully saluted Liu Zheng, and standing behind Yuan Yao, it was his sister Yuan Rou.

Yuan Rou lowered her head, shyly didn't dare to look at Liu Zheng, wearing a pink Liuxian skirt, but she really had a bit of a beautiful appearance, although Liu Zheng hadn't seen Yuan Rou's face clearly, it could be roughly seen from the appearance that Yuan Rou was not ugly.

Of course, Liu Zheng is not actually a womanizer, nor is he unable to walk when he sees a woman, he never thought of marrying Yuan Yao's sister from the beginning.

But now that Yuan Yao has sent his sister here, this really makes Liu Zheng more embarrassed, refuse, I'm afraid that Yuan Yao will think that Liu Zheng doesn't like Yuan Rou, and it will definitely make Yuan Yao think that he has done something wrong and be afraid.

Accept it, Liu Zheng really doesn't want it very much, not because Yuan Rou is not good-looking, but the next time he sees Yuan Shu, won't he call Yuan Shu's father?

At the thought of calling Yuan Shu's father, Liu Zheng had some bad taste in his heart. It's really hard to call an outlet.

"Yuan Yao...... You're ...... What are you? ”

"My lord, didn't I say last time, as long as the adults are willing to send troops to help my father, I am willing to persuade my father to marry my little sister to an adult as a concubine."

"I deliberately went back to Runan this time, that is, I took my little sister from Runan, and dedicated it to the adults first, as for the wedding, when the crisis is solved this time, it is not too late."

Yuan Yao also had no way, in order to find a way to get Liu Zheng to send troops, he could only make this decision, after all, he had no other way to persuade Liu Zheng.

Only when he saw the last time he communicated with Liu Zheng and said that he wanted to offer his sister, Liu Zheng showed some interest, and in Yuan Yao's heart, he automatically classified Liu Zheng as a womanizer.

That's why this time happened.

"Let me send troops, you don't actually have to engage in these things, these days, in fact, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but I really have to wait for an opportunity."

"That's it, anyway, the time is almost up, the boat I asked them to build should be almost ready, you stay here for two more days, I observe, there are almost two more days, you can lead the soldiers and horses to Jiangxia for a trip."

"When the time comes, go head-to-head with Ding Yuan and see how it goes."

Liu Zheng didn't do anything for most of the month, he still made a lot of preparations.

For example, the construction of the parade tower, and the 20,000 sailors of Zulang and Zhou Tai gradually blocked Dongting Lake, and at the same time let the craftsmen below start to make smooth boats.

Only by building a bridge in a short period of time to facilitate the rapid passage of the army, so as not to be attacked by the opponent's half-crossing, this is also to act cautiously.

Two days later.

Liu Zheng's craftsmen built 50 small boats, and used iron cables to tie the boats in two, so that a pontoon bridge was made on the river.

Although the pontoon bridge is not wide, it can also allow several people to pass side by side at a time, and the 20,000 army can completely lead from this side to the direction of Jiangxia County in less than half an hour.

Moreover, in the past half a month, Liu Zheng has sent people to explore the terrain in this vicinity, and knows where the river channel is the narrowest in width, which is the most suitable for placing pontoon bridges.

After the pontoon bridge was built, Liu Zheng not only had to send people to guard it day and night, but also used the pontoon bridge as a base to build a small wharf, which not only allowed the ships to stay temporarily, but also used this place to expand to Jiangxia County.

At the same time as the pontoon bridge was built, Liu Zheng quickly ordered Zhou Tai's navy to open the road in front and settle all problems, and then Liu Zheng ordered Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang's 20,000 troops to quickly go to the location of the pontoon bridge and quickly pass the pontoon bridge.

Not long after Liu Zheng and the others crossed the pontoon bridge, Ding Yuan's side, sure enough, there was movement, and as soon as their talents came ashore, they heard the sound of war horses trampling.

Like thunder rolls in, the heavens and the earth shake.

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed in, from far to near, rolling up a yellow sand, as if it was like a sandstorm.

"It's coming!"

When Liu Zheng heard this voice, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said to the army behind him who had just come ashore.

After hearing this voice, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and the others behind him all realized the problem, and immediately did not dare to be verbose, but immediately ordered their men and horses to start forming a formation and preparing to meet the enemy.

The army of 20,000 people, and then here, quickly arranged the formation, and soon transformed into an arrow formation with a small team of fifty people, using such a slightly inclusive formation to deal with the impact of the cavalry.

The sound of rolling horses' hooves did not last long, and Liu Zheng and the others had already seen the figure of the enemy.

Those black ironclad cavalry, galloping from a distance, were very fast, and approached Liu Zheng's army, but when they came to Liu Zheng again, they did not directly charge Liu Zheng, but stopped at a distance of dozens of zhang.

Liu Zheng's men and horses did not act rashly. After a tight defense. His eyes were fixed on the cavalry in the distance, and it didn't take long for several people to come out of the cavalry, led by one, riding a tall horse and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd. The sword eyebrows are starry, and the instrument is lofty. Under the sunlight, the armor on his body reflected a faint light, which was quite majestic.

With this appearance alone, Liu Zheng recognized this person at a glance, it was Lu Bu, who he feared the most.

Wushuang Admiral Wenhou Lu Bu.

As soon as he saw him, Liu Zheng's face became even more gloomy. This time he led the soldiers and horses here, and he wanted to defeat the cavalry led by Lu Bu in front of him, and he felt that it was very difficult to think about it.

And when Lu Bu appeared, he immediately led his soldiers and horses to walk slowly towards Liu Zheng's side.

After getting closer, he didn't rush to attack, but opened his mouth and asked about the tumor symptom river.

"Your Excellency is the great thief Liu Zheng."

Lu Bu's voice is very loud, in line with Lu Bu's image in Liu Zheng's heart, the kind of big voice with a bit of majesty and confidence.

Although the voice is low, it is also somewhat magnetic.

The tone of his speech was flat, and Liu Zheng could also hear Lu Bu's disdain for himself from the tone.

Stopping his horse, Lu Bu led an army of 20,000 to stop a hundred steps away from Liu Zheng and the others.

Then quietly waited for Liu Zheng's reply.

Liu Zheng did not immediately answer Lu Bu's words, but was pondering, while carefully looking at the soldiers and horses in the distance.

An army of 20,000 people, almost all of them cavalry.

A full 20,000 cavalry, tall horses, black cuirasses, and uniform clothing, with these equipment alone, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is not bad.
