Chapter 744: The Poor Don't Chase

The fire was set off, but it didn't burn.

was extinguished by Sun Jian's army, which had entered the city from outside the city.

Sun Jian's army entered the city, and it was not delayed by some barbarian people.

Those Xiongxi barbarian warriors led by Ah Huilan, under the leadership of Ah Huilan, quickly retreated towards the county town of Yiling.

Liu Zheng's men and horses also breathed a sigh of relief and walked down from the city tower.

As soon as he came, he met Huang Gai led by Sun Jian, Cheng Pu and others coming over.

Seeing Liu Zheng, Sun Jian immediately knelt down.

"The last general is too late to save the car, the lord forgives the sins!"

Sun Jian's face was not good-looking, Liu Zheng was surrounded by these barbarian people in Yiling County, it was also an accident, if Liu Zheng died here, it would really not be good news for Sun Jian.

Liu Zheng's subordinates now, many generals, will definitely blame Sun Jian, and when the time comes, under the slogan of avenging Liu Zheng, Sun Jian will also be easily implicated.

Fortunately, Sun Jian came in time and did not let Liu Zheng suffer any damage.

This is also a blessing in the midst of misfortune.

Liu Zheng glanced at Sun Jian, and said to Sun Jian in a flat tone.

"Wentai don't be nervous, I'm fine, just some brothers died."

Liu Zheng really didn't blame Sun Jian, according to the speed, Sun Jian arrived here at about this time, and it was also the time when Sun Jian came, if it wasn't for Sun Jian's time, then Liu Zheng would be really dangerous, Sun Jian was not guilty, but also had merit.

When Sun Jian heard Liu Zheng's tone, he knew that Liu Zheng didn't seem to blame him, and immediately used an angry look to echo Liu Zheng.

"Lord, these barbarians are too rampant, they dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, we must give them some color to see, the last general will ask for his life, immediately lead people to pursue, and directly kill these barbarians. Flatten this Wuling County! ”

Sun Jian wanted to directly lead people to pursue Ah Huilan and the others, but Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and stopped Sun Jian's proposal.

"No, no pursuit."

Sun Jian originally thought that Liu Zheng would agree to his pursuit, but Sun Jian even thought about it, after killing these Wuling barbarians, Liu Zheng would be happy and directly reward him Sun Jian.

Who knows, Liu Zheng actually did not agree to pursue.

Sun Jian looked at Liu Zheng with a suspicious look, and didn't understand why Liu Zheng didn't let him pursue.

"These barbarians are not weak, and they have more advantages in the mountains and forests, if Wentai sends someone to pursue, I am afraid that they will suffer. As the saying goes, the poor don't chase, not to mention that although these barbarians have retreated from Yiling County, their own soldiers and horses have not lost too much, and they still have the strength to fight. ”

"I don't want your soldiers and horses, there are too many casualties, wait, when Gan Ning's men and horses arrive, we will gather all our troops and kill back, I can't swallow this breath."

Of course, Liu Zheng hated Ah Huilan and the others, and he also didn't have the slightest good impression of these people in the Xiongxi tribe, and just wanted to destroy these people, but Liu Zheng was not carried away by anger, and at the same time, he also understood the advantages and disadvantages of his side.

Although he relied on 7,000 people to kill 30,000 or 40,000 men and horses in this county, this was mainly because Ah Huilan and these barbarians were not good at attacking cities.

In siege warfare, if you are at an extreme disadvantage, you will lose a lot.

But once he returned to the mountains and forests, plus the mountains and forests of Wuling County, those barbarians were familiar with the terrain and were good at fighting on such terrain, and Sun Jian's men and horses would definitely not have any advantage.

If it is pursued, most likely Sun Jian will be at a disadvantage, and when the time comes, not to mention the loss of troops, it will not be good if these barbarians are allowed to go and return again.

After Liu Zheng's words were finished, Sun Jian finally understood some of the reasons for this, and didn't say much, just acted as ordered, and did not continue to lead people to pursue, but led people to re-stabilize the situation in the city, pacify the people, build city gates, and temporarily regain control of Yiling County, which had suffered great losses.

Liu Zheng returned to the temporary mansion, washed up briefly, and changed his clothes.

He also suffered a little wound on his body, although it was not a fatal injury, but it also needed to rest.

However, at this time, Liu Zheng didn't have much time to rest, because Liu Zheng still had to command the overall situation, the soldiers died in battle, many soldiers died in battle, and those people and horses in the camp were killed or injured, all of which represented a Qu Chang, and the Tun Chang was killed or wounded.

Liu Zheng's heart aches.

The people and officers of the whole city held a funeral for this event.

It's been a day's work.

Gan Ning's army finally arrived at Yiling County in the fourth day.

On the way here, Gan Ning had already heard the news from Jinyiwei, he hurried slowly, only took a few hundred people, rode a few hundred war horses under his command, and rushed to Yiling County.

As soon as he heard that Liu Zheng had been attacked, Gan Ning summoned more than anyone else.

Under Liu Zheng, Gan Ning was a staunch supporter of Liu Zheng and one of the earliest battalion commanders under Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng also trusted him very much.

When he came to Yiling County, after seeing that Liu Zheng was fine, Gan Ning was relieved, but he immediately angrily planned to lead his men and horses to kill the territory of the Xiongxi Barbarian, intending to avenge Liu Zheng.

This time, Liu Zheng did not refuse.

However, attacking Xiongximan must always be planned, and it cannot be blindly attacked.

Liu Zheng asked Gan Ning to wait a little longer.

Liu Zheng's current strength is not absolutely sure of attacking Xiongximan, and he needs to send someone to communicate with Shamoke in Youxi at this time.

Let Shamoke invite the people and horses of Luxi to come over to help the fist, and after uniting Shamoke's soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng has a great confidence that he can directly disintegrate those Xiongxi barbarian tribes in this mountain forest.

News, as early as two days ago, Liu Zheng had already sent his brocade guard to send it to Shamoke, Xing Daorong was in charge of this matter, if you calculate the time, presumably, in these two days, there will be results.

After all, there are not many people under Shamoke, even if he comes to help, he can only bring about 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus some people from Luxi, Liu Zheng can get 30,000 or 40,000 reinforcements from Shamoke's tribes at most.

However, 30,000 or 40,000 reinforcements were enough for him, who had now drawn 40,000 soldiers and horses from other places.

The combined army of about 70,000 men and horses was enough for Liu Zheng to defeat the two tribes of Xiongximan and Manximan here in one fell swoop.

Three days later, Shamoko's men arrived at Yiling.

This time, Shamoke really brought 20,000 people, and as Liu Zheng expected, Luxi also sent people and brought 15,000 men and horses.

Coupled with Liu Zheng's more than 40,000 people here, the number has exceeded nearly 80,000.
