Fortunately, on the Hanyang side, there are now tens of thousands of Liu Qi's troops stationed, and Liu Qi's men and horses are there, and Zhang Liao will not be bullied too badly by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

"What's wrong, isn't it Hanyang?"

After meeting his lieutenant general, the first thing Ding Yuan asked was the situation in Hanyang.

"My lord, it's not Hanyang, it's Yangyang!"

"Xiangyang? What happened to Xiangyang? ”

After Ding Yuan heard that his subordinates said that it was not Hanyang, the tense look on his face looked better, but then after hearing that something happened to Xiangyang, he was also a little curious.

"There is information from Xiangyang, saying that Liu Zheng led an army of 50,000 from Lujiang, bypassing Jingzhou, and went directly to attack Yuzhou, and now Runan, Nanyang and others have been occupied, and now Liu Zheng in Yuzhou has gone directly to Xiangyang, Liu Biaozhou Mu sent information, let us quickly return to help, otherwise Xiangyang will not be guaranteed!"

As soon as this news came out of the hands of his subordinates, it immediately made Ding Yuan's expression, who was still a little relieved, suddenly tense up again.

"What did you say?"

Ding Yuan seemed to still have some disbelief in the news.

The person under his command, after repeating a sentence again, Ding Yuan was sure that he had heard correctly, and then his expression changed greatly.

"This ...... How is this possible, where did Liu Zheng get so many soldiers and horses, he has tens of thousands of soldiers here with us, is there anyone else going to attack Yuzhou? ”

"Is it difficult for him to transfer all the soldiers and horses?"

Ding Yuan didn't believe in this at all, but he didn't believe it, and it was also a fact.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Return to Xiangyang!"

Ding Yuan shouted a few words out of his mouth.

Ding Yuan understands the importance of Xiangyang, which is a nail stuck behind them, which can implicate their safety.

Once something happens to Xiangyang, Gangneung, Hanyang and other places will become isolated cities, and there will be no supply lines, then it will be really despair.

Liu Zheng's men and horses only need to be killed directly from Xiangyang, and the two armies will be encircled, and it will not take long to take Hanyang and Jiangling and other places.

Now, if Ding Yuan does not return to Xiangyang, there is only a dead end waiting for him.

Without other reinforcements, Liu Zheng could easily defeat them.

After hearing the news, Ding Yuan's side had no other thoughts at all, anyway, if they continued to stay in Jiangling, they would not be able to take advantage of it, so it was better to withdraw to Xiangyang first and make another plan.

At least, after returning to Xiangyang, Ding Yuan was able to unite Liu Biao's soldiers and horses, and with more people, he would have more confidence to compete with Liu Zheng.

Jiangling County, on the other hand, quickly took action, after all, it is not far from the location of Xiangyang, and the relationship with Xiangyang is to help each other.

The distance between Yangyang, Gangneung, and Hanyang is almost the same.

At the same time, the news reached Hanyang City.

Originally, the news was not so easy to spread to Hanyang City.

However, in the past few days, Zhang Liao has obviously felt that Gan Ning and Zu Lang's soldiers and horses have become more and more calm, and even the number of active attacks has decreased.

In this way, Zhang Liao had the initiative, he himself had the most troops, and after defending several attacks, Zhang Liao gradually understood the strength of Liu Zheng's side and began to try to counterattack.

So these days, the situation on the Hanyang side is dominated by the Liao side.

Outside Hanyang City, Gan Ning's soldiers and horses could no longer be seen, but were forced to retreat thirty miles by Zhang Liao's men and horses.

It is now stationed at the junction of the county seat of Ulin and the border of Hanyang.

The news that Liu Zheng led the soldiers and horses to Yuzhou was also transmitted to Hanyang by Liu Biao.

Liu Qi, who received the news, changed his face greatly, and immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

He originally wanted to return to Xiangyang directly with his men and horses to support his father, but he thought that his current men and horses would not be able to block Liu Zheng's attack if he returned to Xiangyang directly, so Liu Qi hurriedly went to find Zhang Liao.

After all, having been with Zhang Liao for so long, Liu Qi at this time has also realized how powerful Zhang Liao is, and only when Zhang Liao returns with his men and horses can Liu Zheng be able to stop it.

Therefore, after receiving this news, Liu Qi did not return to Xiangyang directly, but immediately went to find Zhang Liao.

At this time, Zhang Liao was outside Hanyang City, continuing to build defensive measures, although Gan Ning's soldiers and horses retreated, but Zhang Liao understood that things were not so simple, those enemies would definitely not give up like this, and sooner or later they would make a comeback.

"General Wenyuan!"

Liu Qi hurriedly found Zhang Liao, and shouted at Zhang Liao from afar.

Zhang Liao walked out of the trench and saw Liu Qi.

"Brother Liu Qi, why are you here?"

Liu Qi looked nervous, and after seeing Zhang Liao, he immediately said to Zhang Liao.

"General Wenyuan, the big thing is not good, my father just sent someone to bring me the news, saying that Liu Zheng is attacking the east and the west this time, he sent people to attack in my Jiangxia County on the surface, but in fact he is attacking Yuzhou, not long ago, Liu Zheng has led people directly to the position of Lujiang County, attacked Yuzhou, and took Runan and Nanyang in one fell swoop."

"Now, Liu Zheng has led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses directly from Nanyang to Xiangyang, or it won't be long before Liu Zheng's army may encircle Xiangyang!"

Liu Qi's expression was ugly, and as he spoke, he hurriedly wanted to urge Zhang Liao to return to Xiangyang with him to rescue.

After all, there are now more than 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hanyang, and if there are 50,000 people, returning to Xiangyang, it can indeed solve Xiangyang's predicament.

"General Wenyuan, what should we do, let's return to Xiangyang now to rescue, otherwise once something happens in Xiangyang, our situation will be extremely disadvantageous."

Zhang Liao heard Liu Qi's words, and his face was indeed ugly.

But Zhang Liao was calm and calm, and he didn't become anxious because of these things like Liu Qi.

Although Zhang Liao was also shocked by this matter, he still figured it out immediately.

stretched out his hand and stopped Liu Qi's decision to return to Xiangyang.

"Brother Liu, no!"

"What not?"

"Don't go back to Xiangyang!"

"Huh? Why! ”

"Brother Liu, don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange?"

Zhang Liao looked at Liu Qi and said something that made Liu Qi a little confused.

"Haha, I always thought it was strange, but now after hearing your words, Brother Liu, I have figured everything out."

"I said why the enemy army outside Hanyang City has not attacked much these days, just making a feint, but not taking the initiative to attack the city, originally I thought that they were afraid of our strength, but now it seems that they simply do not have so many soldiers and horses."
