The army of Chang'an City marched mightily in the direction of Yangzhou.

But before that.

The first place they wanted to recover was Jingzhou.

Originally, Liu Hong wanted to directly enter Sun Jian's base camp.

But the day before he left, he changed his mind on the spur of the day.

Because Liu Hong felt that if he didn't recover Jingzhou first.

It is likely that the rest of the princes' forces will directly cut off the connection between Chang'an City and the army with the help of Jingzhou.

And once communication with the army is lost, supplies are cut off.

Liu Hongke really became a lonely.

Jingzhou.

Nanyang County.

Zhu Zhi, the Taishou of Nanyang County, was lying in the arms of the concubine, enjoying the snacks offered by the next person.

That's when it happened.

A herald rushed into the tent in a panic.

Then he fell to the ground suddenly.

"Ahh

The concubine was immediately startled, and the dim sum in her hand also knocked over to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi was suddenly a little unhappy.

"What's the situation? Reckless, disturb the Yaxing of this general! ”

"If you can't tell me why today, I'll cut off your head!"

Zhu Zhi shouted.

Hearing this, the herald trembled and said, "General! Checkmate! Big things are wrong! ”

"Then Liu Hong, leading an army of 100,000 to fight towards Nanyang County!"

"What!?"

Hearing the herald's words, Zhu Zhi suddenly stood up and his eyes widened.

"What you said is true?"

"What's going on! Say it! ”

Zhu Zhi asked viciously.

Seeing the herald nodding desperately, his face suddenly changed.

How is this possible?

Liu Hong actually called?

"Damn it!"

"Didn't he stay good in Chang'an City! Why did it come all of a sudden! ”

Zhu Zhi suddenly panicked.

He just asked Sun Ce better, so he got the position of Nanyang County Taishou.

There is no problem with letting him go into battle to kill the enemy.

But when it comes to marching and fighting, arranging troops, he Zhu Zhi really doesn't know anything.

And Liu Hong is famous.

I don't know how many generals who were stronger than him Zhu Zhi died in the hands of Liu Hong.

Maybe he, Zhu Zhi, will be next.

"Quick, go and contact General Cheng Pu of Wuling County!"

"Tell him that Liu Hong called! I need support in Nanyang County! ”

"In addition, immediately inform General Sun Ce and tell him what happened here!"

Zhu Zhi said in a bit of a panic.

Hearing this, the herald nodded, then turned to leave.

Wait until the other person is gone.

Zhu Zhi suddenly drew his long sword in a rage and slashed everything he could see in front of him.

"Damn it!"

"Why did this guy call at this time!"

Zhu Zhi was shocked and angry.

But try to calm down your emotions.

Sun Jian had an army of 230,000.

Among them, the number of defenders in Nanyang County is about 30,000.

However, these 30,000 were not the elite of Sun Jian's army, but some old, weak, sick and disabled.

I'm afraid it's also because Sun Jian had long expected that Nanyang County would be attacked by Liu Hong, right?

That's why 30,000 remnants of the army will be equipped for such an important place.

Because no matter what, Liu Hong will definitely be able to gnaw Nanyang County down.

"Damn, Sun Ce, this dog thief! I said why he agreed so happily! ”

Zhu Zhi scolded secretly.

But he can't sit still.

It only needs to last a day and a half, and it will be safe when Cheng Pu and his army come to support him.

Thinking about it, Zhu Zhi immediately came to the barracks.

Then all the soldiers were summoned.

However, as soon as he came, he found that the original army of 30,000 was now nearly 5,000.

"Yellow Sky!"

"The last general!"

A general trotted in front of Zhu Zhi.

"How come the army is five thousand men less? What about the five thousand? Where did it go? ”

Zhu Zhi scolded.

The big war is imminent.

Not to mention five thousand, even if it is less than five hundred troops, it is enough to kill.

Hearing this, the general named Huang Tian suddenly changed his complexion.

"What's wrong? Say! ”

Zhu Zhi frowned slightly.

"General, as soon as those 5,000 people heard that Liu Hong was going to fight, they would... All gone. ”

Huang Tian said with a trembling voice.

He had always been in charge of this part of the barracks.

But it was a full 5,000 people.

Huang Tian felt that he was probably not far from death.

"What?"

"All 5,000 people ran away? What do you do as the person in charge! ”

"Lao Tzu is going to kill ......"

Just as Zhu Zhi was angry and wanted to draw out his long sword to kill Huang Tian, he was suddenly stunned.

Then he withdrew his long sword very aggrievedly.

Now Liu Hong's army is coming.

Huang Tian is the only partial general who knows how to march and fight.

If you kill them all.

Zhu Zhike was really blind.

"Organize and defend now!"

"Be sure to stop Liu Hong's army for a day and a half!"

"General Cheng Pu's support will arrive in at least a day and a half!"

Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice.

Huang Tian, who had narrowly escaped his life, nodded desperately, and then began to order the armies to quickly deploy their defenses.

Although only 25,000 people remained.

But Huang Tian still did not give up resistance, but arranged his troops very seriously.

After all, it was enough to resist Liu Hong's army for a day and a half.

Just when Huang Tian was busy preparing for defense.

The news of Liu Hong's attack also quickly spread throughout the various princely forces.

No one was shocked by the madness of the other.

Inside the Yuan Shang camp.

"Liu Hong actually launched an attack on Jingzhou?"

Yuan Shang, who learned the first-hand news, asked with a shocked expression.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he was even more surprised.

Liu Hong actually chose to send troops at this critical juncture?

Isn't that crazy?

Yuan Shang couldn't help but swallow a touch of saliva.

Liu Hong's move was not a simple dispatch of troops.

It's really a change of direction to tell other people.

Liu Hong has the confidence to fight against everyone in the world.

The princes are not stupid, and Liu Hong is even less stupid, obviously they can all guess that once Liu Hong makes a move, it will cause a siege.

But the other party still did it.

And as soon as he struck, it was a thunderous method, and an army of 100,000 was dispatched.

I simply don't leave myself a way back.

"Impossible... How dare this guy? ”

"What confidence and capital does he have to face the coalition of forces from all sides?"

Yuan Shangsi thought about it.

He always felt that Liu Hong did not have the ability to fight against the alliance of princes.

Such a rash attack.

In the end, it will only lead to the siege of Chang'an City.

It's simply not worth the loss.

"No, I'll have to ask for it myself."

Yuan Shang shook his head, planning to go to Liu Hong in person to ask what the other party thought.

Although it is true that the two are enemies.

But Yuan Shang didn't want Liu Hong to die in vain.

After all, the rich knowledge in the other party's head made Yuan Shang extremely greedy.

There were a lot of questions he hadn't had time to ask yet.

"Yan Liangwen is ugly!"

Yuan Shang shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the two of them immediately walked in quickly.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"The two of you each ordered 50,000 troops, and go to Jingzhou with me!"
