"Two adults, don't be sad, you are still alive now, it should be a happy thing, come and I will toast you two first!"

Liu Zheng raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine with Wang Lang and Zhou Xin first.

Wang Lang and Zhou Xin didn't dare to slack off, so they also raised their glasses and began to drink with Liu Zheng.

This time, after Liu Zheng let them meet with their families, they realized that Liu Zheng really did not embarrass their family too much.

This made Wang Lang and Zhou Xin's disgust for Liu Zheng a little less in their hearts.

But in the same way, they knew how Liu Zheng fought from Poyang County to Wanling City in Danyang County in just a few days, and occupied most of the counties of Danyang County.

Thinking of this, Wang Lang and Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately they surrendered, otherwise they would start a fierce battle with Liu Zheng, but they were afraid that they would lose ugly.

"Lord Liu Zheng, I have offended a lot before, and I still hope for Haihan."

Wang Lang smiled bitterly and raised a glass to apologize to Liu Zheng.

"It's okay, I, Liu Zheng, have always been a person who doesn't hold grudges, because there is a grudge, I usually report it on the spot, and I can sit down and drink with you, which means that I don't take it to heart."

"Actually, I have a good impression of you, Brother Wang, what I said before is also sincere, how about it, think about it, go to Jiaozhou and create a great cause with me?"

Liu Zheng still lacks civil officials, and there are not enough people for many things, like Wang Lang, a scholar and a person who understands etiquette and law, Liu Zheng really hopes that he can go to Jiaozhou and start a business with him.

At least, with Wang Lang helping him, he can worry less about many things about the calendar and disciplining the barbarians.

Of course, this has to be Wang Lang's willingness, if Wang Lang is forced to go to Jiaozhou to help him, Liu Zheng also feels that there is no need for this.

Wang Lang heard Liu Zheng mention it again and asked him to go to Jiaozhou to create a great cause, he had just lifted the wine glass and stopped in mid-air, and the expression on his face was also stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The main reason is that Wang Lang doesn't quite understand whether Liu Zheng's words are sincere, or if he just wants to force him to go to Jiaozhou.

Wang Lang did not reject going to Jiaozhou, but he was hindered by Liu Zheng's identity, Liu Zheng was a thief after all, if he and Liu Zheng walked together, it would be difficult for him to become an official of the court in the future.

After the historical Wang Lang surrendered to Sun Ce, he also lived in seclusion in Jiaozhou for several years, and later came back to serve as an official because of Cao Cao's conscription.

Wang Lang is actually still a little interested in Jiaozhou, but he has always been hindered by Liu Zheng's identity and did not directly agree to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng saw that Wang Lang's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't answer his words, but he was not in a hurry, but continued to pick up the wine glass and touch it with Wang Lang.

"Brother Wang can think about this matter carefully, and he doesn't have to agree to me now, but what I want to tell Brother Wang is that I sincerely want you to build a great cause together, and I hope you will consider it carefully."

Liu Zheng deliberately said the word cautious in a heavier tone, and Wang Lang, who was frightened, was stunned, and his whole body trembled.

"I'll think about it."

Wang Lang immediately replied to Liu Zheng, his eyes were already a little flustered, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Zheng directly, in fact, Liu Zheng realized from Wang Lang's eyes that he probably didn't want to follow Liu Zheng to Jiaozhou, but when he thought of Liu Zheng's cautious words, Wang Lang didn't dare to refuse.

I can only drink with a wry smile and wait for a while.

After Liu Zheng finished talking about Wang Lang, he looked at the Zhou brothers around him again, there are only two Zhou brothers here, Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang, the youngest Zhou Qiao, was not in Wanling City at that time, so Liu Zheng didn't see Zhou Qiao either, but these two difficult brothers and brothers, to be honest, the level is average, and there is more than enough to be better than the bottom.

They are not people that Liu Zheng particularly values, although Liu Zheng still asked the two if they wanted to follow him, but Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang behaved hesitantly, and they didn't agree, so Liu Zheng was too lazy to say.

However, for the time being, Liu Zheng will not let them go, at least, they will be imprisoned by Liu Zheng here for a while.

After this meal was over, Liu Zheng didn't have the time to accompany them, so he first rested here for a day.

The next day, Liu Zheng began to arrange the deployment later.

If he wants to deal with Yan Baihu, he must mobilize troops and horses to leave from here, but Poyang and Danyang cannot be without soldiers and horses, after all, Danyang also borders Huainan, if the situation in Huainan changes, Zhang Miao or Cao Cao can fight down from Huainan, and the Yangzhou area that Liu Zheng just fought down will be dangerous again.

Therefore, even if Liu Zheng wants to deal with Yan Baihu, he must do a good job in the defense of Poyang and Danyang.

It is not impossible for the navy to take it away, after all, in the Yangtze River basin, there is a navy that can better protect Yangzhou.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao did not have a naval army, and if they wanted to kill from Huainan, it was a problem to cross the river, as long as there was a naval army to contain them here, it would be difficult for them to directly kill Danyang and Poyang.

The 10,000 sailors led by Zu Lang cannot be withdrawn, and must remain here and be responsible for defense.

At the same time, there are people on the water, and there must be people in this county, Liu Zheng's subordinates, and now the 10,000-strong sailor army that has removed Zu Lang, there are not many soldiers and horses left.

Huang Zhong had 9,000 men, Wen Ping had 6,000 men, and Zhou Cang had 8,000 men.

After thinking about it, Liu Zheng still let Huang Zhong be stationed in Poyang County, and asked Huang Zhong to divide his troops, with Tai Shici leading 4,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Poyang, and Huang Zhong leading 5,000 men and horses to garrison Danyang.

At the same time, they were ordered to train the 8,000 troops recruited by Yuzhang Taishou Zhou Shu when he surrendered, and use them as reserve troops, and when there were not enough manpower, they could use the 8,000 soldiers and horses.

The 20,000 Danyang soldiers who were originally subordinate to Zhou Xin's subordinates, Liu Zheng was directly taken away, and the 14,000 soldiers and horses under Wen Ping and Zhou Cang were escorted to Jiaozhou.

Of the 20,000 people, Liu Zheng took a fancy to them, this is the most basic Danyang soldiers, Liu Zheng needs to brainwash them, and then screen and recruit them to fill the five battalions.

After all, in this big battle, the elite five battalions of soldiers and horses under his command suffered many casualties. Thousands of soldiers and horses have died here alone, and these people need to be replenished.

After Liu Zheng arranged the matter, he took Huang Zhong's men and horses directly to Danyang County, and after a two-day delay in Danyang County, he led the soldiers and horses of Wenpin and Zhou Cang to kill Wu County.

In Wu County, there are Yan Baihu's soldiers and horses stationed, and it is destined to be a fierce battle.
