Chapter 146: Willing to serve dogs and horses

Although Su Fei had been stunned, Liu Zheng's continued questioning still made Su Fei's face immediately show a look of ecstasy.

Immediately after that, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be filled with tears, and he held back the gratitude in his heart, and immediately replied to Liu Zheng.

"Yes, thank you for your appreciation, Su Fei is willing to serve the dogs and horses!"

Su Fei immediately knelt down and saluted Liu Zheng.

The whole process, for Su Fei, can be described as a big ups and downs.

He thought that he would be loyal to his duties and desperately protect Huang Zu, although Huang Zu didn't like him very much, but he would more or less remember the feelings of his colleagues, sacrifice his life to rescue him, and take him away together.

But Huang Zu didn't, at that moment, the two Su Fei died of heart, understanding that Huang Zu, this guy, was not a master, and he followed him, and his future was bleak.

Su Fei originally thought that he was dead, but the next moment, Liu Zheng actually said that he wanted to recruit him, and showed that he was a good general and worth a thousand gold.

That feeling of being recognized by others suddenly filled Su Fei's heart, the soldier died for his confidant, and at that moment Su Fei identified Liu Zheng, although Liu Zheng was an anti-thief, it was much better to be an errand boy under an anti-thief who recognized him than under an official army who didn't take his life seriously.

So Su Fei didn't think about it at all, and when Liu Zheng asked, he directly agreed.

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Su Fei's promise, he was also happy in his heart, and immediately said a word to Su Fei.

"Very good, from today onwards, you can follow me, being a general under my account is definitely much better than mixing under Huang Zu."

And after Su Fei heard Liu Zheng's words, although his face was very embarrassed, he didn't say anything, he could only let Liu Zheng say a few words.

At this time, Liu Zheng told Huang Zu to sell these soldiers around Huang Zu to him at the price of one gold, and after calculation, Huang Zu still had to give him more than 700 gold.

Escorted Huang Zu to Huangjiawu Fort outside Jiangxia City, Liu Zheng easily rushed to the hands of the Huang family and took away seven hundred gold.

Only then did he happily put these people back.

Huang Zu and the others lost their souls, and left from Liu Zheng's side with their armor lost, Huang Zhong watched Huang Zu leave, and wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed and didn't say anything.

Although Huang Zhong and Huang Zu both belong to the Jiangxia Huang family, they are only distant relatives, and they are not emotionally deep.

But after Huang Zu experienced such a battle, Huang Zhong knew that he and Huang Zu had never been all the way, and now he had taken refuge in Liu Zheng, and he was getting farther and farther away from the Jiangxia Huang family, and Huang Zu would not understand his feelings of begging for his son, so it was useless to say more.

Huang Zhong still sighed and did not continue to talk to Huang Zu.

Liu Zheng counted his losses in this battle, although 30,000 soldiers and horses, dealing with 20,000 people under Huang Zu's command, showing a one-sided situation, but in the battle, there will still be some losses of some manpower.

killed more than 10,000 people from Huang Zu, and he also lost more than 1,000 people on his side, but fortunately, he got a ransom of hundreds of gold from Huang Zu's side, which can barely give some compensation to those who died under his command.

Huang's dock fort is not far from Jiangxia City, and Liu Zheng took people out of Huang's dock fort.

Xu Huang came to Liu Zheng's side.

"Qu Shuai, should we go directly to Changsha next, or will we turn to Jiangxia?"

Xu Huang approached Liu Zheng, and his voice was not loud, but the meaning was obvious.

The strength of Jiangxia County, although Liu Zheng did not attack directly, but from Zhao Hong's mouth, he also heard a lot, before Qin Jie recruited more than 10,000 villagers from Jiangxia, and later Zhao Hong and Zhang Mancheng and others attacked Jiangxia again and again.

The county soldiers of Jiangxia County suffered heavy casualties, although there were some additions later, but the men and horses were all recruits who had not experienced much battle, and their combat effectiveness could be imagined.

And now Liu Zheng has defeated the 20,000 horses brought by Huang Zu in one time, which means that there must not be many people left in Jiangxia City.

Even if Huang Zu didn't take away all the people in Jiangxia City, he would definitely take away more than half of the people, after all, at this time, it was not the state pastoral system in later generations, and local officials did not have much power to recruit people.

Even if it can be recruited, it will only recruit some county soldiers, and the number of people must not be too much, and having twenty or thirty thousand is already the limit.

As soon as Liu Zheng fought, he scattered the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Huang Zu, and now there will be no more than 10,000 people and horses in Jiangxia City.

With only 10,000 soldiers and horses, in the face of Liu Zheng's current army of more than 20,000, it can basically be said that he has no ability to hold Jiangxia City.

If Liu Zheng wants to break the city, although it will not be easy, he will definitely have the ability to take Jiangxia City.

Liu Zheng glanced at Xu Huang, then looked in the direction of Jiangxia City, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, our target this time is Changsha County, not Jiangxia City, the vicinity of Jiangxia is still firmly controlled by the imperial court, if we attack, we will inevitably suffer from the direction of Jingzhou, even if we can defeat it, we can't hold it, don't waste troops here."

Liu Zheng thought about it in the long run, and finally chose to give up attacking Jiangxia County.

When Xu Huang heard this, Liu Zheng had no intention of attacking, so he didn't say much.

But Liu Zheng did show a sinister expression.

"Although we don't attack Jiangxia, it doesn't mean that we can't make some trouble for Jiangxia County, Brother Xu Huang, you immediately send someone to send a letter to Zhao Hong, telling him that we have defeated Huang Zu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, just say that now Jiangxia City only has less than 10,000 defenders, with Zhao Hong's ability, to deal with Jiangxia with an army of 20,000 or 30,000, it may be a little unlikely, but if there are only less than 10,000 people, Zhao Hong still has the ability to fight down."

When Xu Huang heard Liu Zheng's words, his eyes immediately lit up.

Although he didn't know why Liu Zheng gave up Jiangxia City to Zhao Hong, Liu Zheng must have his intentions in doing this, and Xu Huang would not refuse, and immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Hong.

And Liu Zheng took his men and horses, left directly from Jiangxia City, and hurried to Changsha County.

Changsha County, also known as Changsha Country.

In the history of Hunan, the first marquis appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, which was the fief of Wu Rui, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Changsha period of the Wu family was a glorious period in the history of ancient Changsha, which was politically unswerving to maintain national unity, and was the loyal princely kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang's eight princes with different surnames, Wang Zang Di, Han Xin, Yingbu and other seven princes and kings were all wiped out, but Wu's Changsha State was loyal to the imperial court from beginning to end, but unfortunately in 156 BC, the fifth Changsha King Wu died, because he had no children to be removed, Wu's Changsha State was passed down for five generations, which lasted forty-six years.
