Cai Yao's words made Cai Mao, who was standing on the side, really not know what to say.

I can only sigh. Then looked at Cai Yao's arms, his little nephew, sleeping sweetly, and it was not good to argue with Cai Yao about anything.

"Little sister, you have a good rest, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Well, big brother, go get busy, there is news about Liu Zheng, just send someone over to send me a letter next time, there is no need to come over in person."

Cai Yao shook her arms and gave the child in her arms a comfortable sleeping position.

"Well, it's better for me to tell you this information in person, in case others know, it's not good, and you don't go out and walk around recently, you also know that Liu Zheng's identity is a thief after all, if it is known that you are at home, I am afraid that some people will think too much."

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm a deep girl, where can I go, I can only take care of the children at home."

Cai Mao nodded and left the courtyard.

But as soon as he left the courtyard, he beckoned and found a personal soldier.

"Your Excellency."

"Do you remember the way to Jiaozhou?"

"Yes."

"Go, send me a letter, go to Jiaozhou to ask to see Liu Zheng, just say a word, Cai Yao is in my house. Needless to say. ”

After thinking about it, Cai Mao still decided to tell Liu Zheng the news that Cai Yao was here, Cai Yao is stubborn, as an elder brother, she naturally knows what her sister thinks in her heart, she doesn't want to settle, and she doesn't want to spend her life with Liu Zheng like this.

What she wants is a happy relationship, not her own unrequited love.

Cai Mao wants to match his sister, so naturally only he, the eldest brother, will be the middleman.

At this time, Liu Zheng had no idea what happened in Jingzhou.

At this time, he was leading his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to march slowly towards Wu County.

After pacifying Danyang, there was only one Yan Baihu left, and Liu Zheng didn't care so much, and he was not in a hurry to defeat Yan Baihu, after all, Yan Baihu had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses trapped in Wu County, which was just the end of a strong crossbow, and Wu County was surrounded by Liu Zheng's men and horses everywhere.

Liu Zheng only needed to slowly push his men forward to be able to deal with Yan Baihu, and put a certain amount of pressure on him, affecting his military morale.

The reason why Liu Zheng marched slowly was also to send a large number of scouts and meticulous work into Wu County to investigate all the military movements of Yan Baihu.

After Huainan County suffered the loss of being ambushed once, Liu Zheng's marching steps became more cautious.

Instead of encountering urgent matters, they will become disorganized and nervous, and everything will advance slowly according to a strictly formulated marching plan, and only after clarifying the surrounding environment and movements will they advance their troops and horses to Wu County.

At this time, Liu Zheng already knew about the previous battle between Yan Baihu and Gan Ning in Huiji County, and knew that Yan Baihu was blocked by Gan Ning's people, and Liu Zheng had already sent a herald to give Gan Ning an order, so that Gan Ning's men and horses would cooperate with Liu Zheng to fight Wu County from the south, and join forces with Gan Ning's men and horses to launch an encirclement and suppression of Yan Baihu.

Liu Zheng needs to wait until Gan Ning's men and horses are formed close to Wu County, and then he will completely lead his own men and horses to approach Wu County, otherwise his own people will arrive in Wu County first, and with the more than 10,000 people around him, it is still difficult to defeat Yan Baihu.

Liu Zheng marched slowly, on the one hand, it is really not easy to walk here, and on the other hand, there are many water lakes here, and the famous Taihu Lake is in Wu County.

Don't look at the territory of Wu County is not vast, but among the six counties in Jiangdong, it has a strong color, because there are thirteen county towns under its jurisdiction, and each of these thirteen county towns is a rich land, and the tax for a year is on the top, and the harvest of other counties for several years, so it is more prosperous than other places.

From ancient times to the present, this place is the rich land of the entire Chinese land, and it is also the place that Liu Zheng wants to fight for, originally this place was occupied by Yan Baihu, Liu Zheng has not yet put the abacus here, but now, Yan Baihu's betrayal also happened to give Liu Zheng a chance to recover here.

"Lord, General Zhou Cang is here."

Liu Zheng led people to be stationed in Shazi Lake, which is near the water, and then go south, you can go to Wucheng County, if you go all out, within two days, you will definitely be able to reach Wucheng County, just like Liu Zheng is now walking slowly, it will only take three or four days to arrive.

"Zhou Cang, you're here, do you have any intelligence to report?"

Liu Zheng's men were assigned into two waves, one led by Zhou Cang, 4,000 soldiers and horses, as the vanguard, five miles away from Liu Zheng's main army, the first to open the way, and the 10,000 horses led by Liu Zheng's Wenpin gradually advanced behind.

Seeing Zhou Cang rushing back from the front, Liu Zheng knew that Zhou Cang must have something to say to him.

"Lord, our spies have received news that Yan Baihu is secretly mobilizing troops in our direction, and it is estimated that it will arrive at us in less than a day."

"Secretly mobilize troops?"

"Well, he didn't blatantly do it, he was led by his younger brother Yan Xing, a part of the men, about 20,000 people, who set off last night, and it is estimated that it is only half a day's journey from us now."

Liu Zheng heard Zhou Cang's report, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, Yan Baihu, this guy finally can't bear it anymore, I'm still thinking about how he is going to attack, and I think it's the same, like Cao Cao and others, he set up an ambush on this road and wants to ambush us."

Liu Zheng knew that Yan Baihu would definitely not sit still, and would definitely find a way to deal with Liu Zheng's attack, since he didn't send someone over to negotiate peace, then Yan Baihu's heart must be ready to attack, but what this method of attacking, Liu Zheng couldn't guess.

"Zhou Cang, let's stand still and continue to move forward, but you let your men and horses, increase the number of scouts, pay close attention to all the developments nearby, it is best to be able to detect all the moves of Yan Xing, since they want to set up an ambush to deal with us, then we will take the initiative to go to his ambush circle, and then carry out a counter-encirclement, kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

Originally, Liu Zheng planned to wait for Gan Ning's soldiers and horses to gather over, and then unite with Gan Ning to make a move against Yan Baihu, but now that Yan Baihu has already started in advance, then Liu Zheng will not wait, first defeat Yan Xing, and break Yan Baihu's right-hand man.

After listening to Liu Zheng's instructions, Zhou Cang immediately agreed, and went down to start preparations.

On Liu Zheng's side, he did not move, and continued to advance according to the previous plan.
