Chapter 66: The Holy Maiden Zhang Ning
What Liu Zheng never expected was that the messenger who came was a woman, not to mention, and a girl who looked less than twenty years old.
Liu Zheng heard Zhou Cang introduce him, this woman's name is Zhang Ning, and she is the daughter of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong. At the same time, she is also a saint in the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road.
The power is second only to Zhang Jiao in the entire Yellow Turban Army.
This point surprised Liu Zheng, in Liu Zheng's opinion, even if Zhang Jiao wanted to reward him, there was no need to make such a big move, and let the holy women of the entire Yellow Turban Army come to meet him.
At most, it is enough to send a Xiaoqu Shuai next to him to come over to comfort Liu Zheng.
But now that the saints of the Yellow Turban Army have come, Liu Zheng is naturally shocked. There was a feeling of flattery, so he was embarrassed to slack off, and when Zhang Ning had not yet arrived in Runan City, he had already taken someone out of the city to greet him.
After waiting outside the city for half an hour, Zhang Ning's team gradually appeared outside Runan City.
There were dozens of people in a group, but they didn't carry too much luggage. made Liu Zheng, who had some expectations of what reward Zhang Jiao would give him, suddenly fell short.
"Is Liu Zhengqu handsome in front?"
As soon as the Holy Maiden Zhang Ning's men and horses arrived outside Runan City, one of the big men shouted at Liu Zheng's side.
Zhou Cang immediately responded at Liu Zheng's signal.
"Exactly, please invite the holy woman into the city to rest, and then we will set up a banquet for the holy woman to wash the wind and dust."
Zhang Ning and his entourage gradually approached the gate of Runan City and came to Liu Zheng and the others.
At this time, Liu Zheng saw Zhang Ning's appearance clearly.
Wearing a yellow gauze skirt, Zhang Ning looks smart and elegant, and her long black straight hair flutters in the wind, which is even more fairy.
When it comes to appearance, Liu Zheng was slightly stunned the moment he saw Zhang Ning, obviously surprised by Zhang Ning's appearance.
Liu Zheng has also seen a lot of women in this world, and there are many beauties, Zhang Zhongjing's primary apprentice Zhang Duyu, Cai Mao's sister Cai Yao, and the famous Mrs. Cai in history.
But neither of them can compare with Zhang Ning.
Zhang Duyu, that kind of beauty, is youthful and playful, and the cuteness it brings.
Cai Yao is rude and willful, and has some unyielding temperament.
At this time, Zhang Ning, the Holy Daughter of the Yellow Turban Army in front of her, had a coldness on her face.
That kind of coldness makes people feel that they are not approached, and gives people a sense of strangeness that rejects people thousands of miles away.
And on Zhang Ning's cold face, Liu Zheng can also see that she is more seductive than Zhang Duyu and Cai Yao.
This kind of allure is not brought by appearance, but by temperament, which makes people have a desire to conquer it from the heart.
Liu Zheng could see at a glance that Zhang Ning was very different, but he didn't think too much about Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning's men and horses entered the city, and Zhou Cang had already made proper arrangements, and he had already vacated a good room for them to rest.
It didn't take long for the prepared meal to be served, and a large round table gathered around the main hall, and everyone began to eat.
Three rounds of drinking.
Zhang Ning slowly raised the wine glass in front of him, raised his hand at Liu Zheng, and toasted a glass of wine.
"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, seeing that you should be a few years older than me, I don't want to be unfamiliar and call you a big brother, before Runan Daqu Shuai Bocai, and I have a lot of relationship, but there is one point, I am not satisfied with it, that is, he actually looked away and did not dig out such a character as you."
"If I have your help, I'm afraid he won't end up like this, this time Runan City can be recaptured by our Yellow Turban Army, you are a great meritorious, and the purpose of General Tiangong sending me here is actually obvious, one is to commend your merits in this war."
"Second, I also want to see what kind of ability these soldiers and horses under your command are, they actually defeat the strong with the weak, defeat the more with less, and defeat them with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, far more than your Qin Jie army and Zhu Jun's army."
Although the news of Liu Zheng's defeat of Qin Jie and Zhu Jun's army reached the hands of Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, he did not know much about the news.
The person who reported only said that Liu Zheng had thousands of soldiers and horses, defeated Qin Jie, who had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and killed General Zhu Junzhonglang, who had an army of 20,000.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jiao was shocked, and Zhang Jiao couldn't be clearer about what kind of combat power these Yellow Turban Army under his command had.
No matter how many battles they fought with the officers and soldiers, almost all of them were several times the manpower of the officers and soldiers, so they could defeat the officers and troops, and if they were the same as the men and horses of the officers and soldiers, they would never be able to defeat the officers and troops.
Therefore, in the impression of Zhang Jiao and others, it is almost impossible for such a battle to happen in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army by defeating the strong with the weak and winning the more with less.
But Liu Zheng did it, he not only perfectly interpreted what it means to defeat the strong with the weak, but also directly captured a Taishou alive and killed a Zhonglang general in one fell swoop.
Since then, he has become famous.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jiao will send Zhang Ning, the saint of the sect, to come to Liu Zheng to learn Liu Zheng's way of using troops, and want to understand from Liu Zheng why Liu Zheng can defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less.
At this time, Zhang Ning raised his wine glass and asked Liu Zheng about it, and Liu Zheng understood why the Yellow Turban Sect saintess in front of him came here, it turned out that she was coming for this.
After understanding the other party's purpose, Liu Zheng suddenly realized, and his heart calmed down.
He didn't directly answer Zhang Ning why he defeated Qin Jie and Zhu Jun.
Instead, he asked Zhang Ning rhetorically at this time.
"Holy Maiden, do you think the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are worse than the officers and soldiers?"
Liu Zheng's question made Zhang Ning stunned, obviously she was asking Liu Zheng how it became Liu Zheng's question, but Zhang Ning still answered immediately.
"It's not bad, in my Yellow Turban Sect, there are many talents, such as Liu Zhengqu is handsome, but you can kill the general, where will it be worse than the official army."
At this time, Zhang Ning directly followed Liu Zheng's meaning and said a word.
In fact, there is still some gap between the people of the Yellow Turban Army and the officers and soldiers of the official army, but Zhang Ning naturally won't say it, after all, if he says that his people are not as good as the enemy, isn't this a slap in the face.
Grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, such a stupid thing, Zhang Ning still won't do it.
Liu Zheng nodded, and then replied to Zhang Ning with a smile.
"Since our people are no worse than the officers and soldiers, then why does the saint feel that we can't defeat the strong with the weak and the more with the less?"
Zhang Ning was also speechless when Liu Zheng said this, and for a while, he didn't know how to refute Liu Zheng.
However, after all, he still had to figure out why Liu Zheng was able to defeat Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, so he continued to ask.
"So, Liu Zhengqu Shuai thinks that his men and horses are far better than the official army?"
