Chapter 226: Yangzhou Reinforcements
"Qu Shuai, this time that Zhu Fu took advantage of our departure to go out of the city to fight with us, just to see that our strength was not enough, but I didn't expect to be defeated by the lord, I am afraid that I will die of anger."
"I don't know if I'll be angry, but what I do know is that I'm afraid that after this battle, Zhu Fu and the others will be even more afraid of us, and it will be even more difficult to trick him into coming out to fight with us."
Liu Zheng has never felt that Zhu Fu is a normal opponent, and there are few people in the entire Jiaozhou who can be regarded as an opponent by Liu Zheng.
Except for those people in the Shi family, who have some skills, the others don't pose much of a threat, at most they are some local indigenous forces.
For those forces, Liu Zhengda did not intend to oppose them from the beginning, and only needed to wait for him to occupy Jiaozhou, and then use a little trick to appease them a little, and maybe he could be used by Liu Zheng.
"That guy Zhu Fu escaped from here again this time, he really has to be cunning, but in this way, I am afraid that he will continue to shrink his forces, but we can ignore him and give the order, and then quickly occupy Hepu County, and then change the route to kill Yulin County."
After Liu Zheng learned about his death and injury this time, he didn't have much interest in Zhu Fu to hunt down, after all, Zhu Fu was just a foreign assassin, in this Jiaozhou, what was really powerful was the local heroes and indigenous strength.
Even if Liu Zheng was in Hepu City and killed a few county orders a little, and those county towns were in chaos, Liu Zheng understood that the people who really had the right to speak in Jiaozhou were those indigenous forces.
It's just that they hide well on weekdays, and they don't stand in front of Zhu Fu's forehead at this time.
Now that Liu Zheng has occupied Hepu, the first thing is to appease the local natives.
The army stayed in Hepu City for three days.
In the past three days, Liu Zheng continued to let Gan Ning and Xu Huang recruit to surrender the army, part of which was directly expanded into Gan Ning's third battalion army, and the other part was to begin to form a new fourth battalion of soldiers and horses.
Liu Zheng did not choose to integrate these people into Xu Huang's first battalion.
After all, these people are not strong enough, even if they are incorporated into Xu Huang's subordinates, they will only lower the combat effectiveness of Xu Huang's first battalion.
It is better to reorganize a new battalion of soldiers and horses and increase training, which may be of good use.
Three days later, Liu Zheng asked Gan Ning and Zhou Cang to lead the soldiers and horses of the third and fourth battalions recruited by the commander first, and directly killed Yulin County.
Yulin County is above Hepu County, connected to Cangwu County, and also adjacent to Jingzhou.
In the pre-Qin period, it was called Guilin County, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered South Vietnam and unified Jiaozhou, and then renamed Yulin County.
However, Yulim County has never been a favorite place of the imperial court, because it is the territory of ethnic minorities.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Guilin County was conquered, Yulin Taishou, who had been here, used Enxin to recruit more than 100,000 Wuhu people.
There were not many people who had contact with the Han people, and most of them lived in groups of villages, often disobeying the arrangements of the imperial court.
When the imperial court recruits soldiers and horses, it will hardly participate, and if Liu Zheng wants to occupy Yulin County, it will be a ** annoyance to face these ethnic minorities.
However, unlike the imperial court, Liu Zheng can use the method of grace and power to talk directly to the people of these ethnic minorities.
Liu Zheng first asked Gan Ning and Zhou Cang to go to Yulin County, first to clean up the remaining imperial soldiers and horses in Yulin County, and then to find trouble with those ethnic minority leaders after he occupied the imperial court's city.
Now, as long as the leaders of those ethnic minorities don't come to him, Liu Zheng won't pay attention to them for the time being.
At the same time, in the direction of Cangwu City, Huang Zhong also sent someone to bring him a new news, which made Liu Zheng, who originally planned to continue to invade other places in Jiaozhou, look slightly stunned.
Huang Zhong was in Cangwu City, occupied all the surrounding areas of Cangwu City, and had already learned the news that a troop of soldiers and horses had appeared in Nanhai County.
A full 30,000 horses came from the direction of Yangzhou, and now the 30,000 soldiers and horses have arrived in Nanhai County, which is not far from Cangwu County.
These 30,000 people, through Huang Zhong's inquiry, should be Zhu Fu, the assassin of Jiaozhou, who went to Yangzhou to ask for help, and the reinforcements sent by Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is not the same as Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, the population is not much, but Yangzhou is a vast area, not only rich in products, but also a large population, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses.
Liu Xuan, who is now a pastor in Yangzhou, owns the entire Yangzhou, and his strength is much more powerful than Zhu Fu.
He had just taken control of Yangzhou, and his command gathered a lot of people from the counties and counties under Yangzhou's rule, 30,000 horses, which was not a small number in the hands of Liu Xuan.
However, there was no big rebellion in Yangzhou, and there was no need for too many soldiers and horses to suppress it, so Liu Miao was willing to send 30,000 horses to Jiaozhou to assist Zhu Fu in quelling the rebellion.
Waiting for Liu Miao to help Zhu Fu succeed in quelling the chaos, this is a merit, and when the time comes, Liu Miao will also give a table to the court and praise his ability.
But after Liu Zheng heard the news, he was a little worried.
Originally, he came to Jiaozhou to deal with Zhu Fu, just to take advantage of the chaos in the world, when he attacked Jiaozhou, no one could come to Jiaozhou to assist Zhu Fu's plan.
But now, a Liu Miao suddenly appeared.
This made Liu Zheng's initial plan a little different, but fortunately, the strength of Liu Xuan's guy was not strong during the Three Kingdoms period, although he was also a member of the Han family, but he was bullied by Yuan Shu and Sun Ce successively.
For this, Liu Zheng is not too afraid.
"Tell me to go down, immediately return to Cangwu, Hepu City, and the Zhou Dynasty will bring you to borrow 5,000 people from Ganning to garrison."
Liu Zheng now has four battalions of soldiers and horses, to be precise, only three and a half battalions, and the men and horses of the fourth battalion are still under construction, so they can't bring some use to Liu Zheng.
Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty could only temporarily go to secondment the soldiers and horses of Gan Ning's third battalion.
And Liu Zheng immediately took Xu Huang's men and horses back to Cangwu County, preparing to meet the upcoming Liu Xuan's people.
Zhu Fu is no longer worried, as long as Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses are defeated again, Liu Zheng occupies Jiaozhou, there should not be much of a problem.
Just when Liu Zheng returned to Cangwu County, Cangwu County, Shixie also came to visit at this moment.
Then in the night, Liu Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard Huang Zhong say that Shi Xie asked to see him, but he still met Shi Xie at this time.
It didn't take long for Shi Xie to come to Liu Zheng's residence.
As soon as they met, they said hello to Liu Zheng.
"My lord, congratulations first, and then I will fight the next county."
