If it weren't for the lack of food and grass under Liu Zheng's command, they had already transported the food and grass to the front line early on. So many soldiers were consumed, which was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Although Yuan Xi and Tadun also had 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, they mainly used continuous robbery and plundering to nourish these soldiers and horses.

In fact, they don't have much food storage.

Yuan Xi and Tadun can start a war without much food and grass preparation, but Liu Zheng is no longer able to do it now.

He needs to prepare for food and grass, and even for any factors that may determine the outcome of the battlefield, such as the offensive terrain.

A huge battle will move the whole body with one blow.

Sometimes it is much harder to manage the commander than to have a single team or two.

A person with some ability can become a general to command a unit, but not every general is qualified to command a thousand troops.

There is a huge difference between general and handsome.

Just like Liu Zheng's generals were all commanding 10,000 or 20,000 people, there were not many of them who could be called the commander of the commander.

As for the current situation, Liu Zheng believes that the only person who is qualified to be called a talented person is that Huang Zhong and Sun Jian are barely qualified.

Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, although they have a high status and good martial arts skills, have great prestige in the army, they sometimes act voluntarily.

It is still a bit reluctant to call him a handsome talent. On the contrary, Lu Su and Zhou Yu are not particularly outstanding in martial arts, but resourceful people have the potential to become a handsome talent.

But they are still too young, relatively young, and do not have much experience, so they cannot be entrusted with important tasks for the time being.

On the way to Bohai County.

Taishici has ordered people to convey the information from Hejian County here.

"Hey, the days of traveling are really boring. Qiling, come into the carriage, let's fight the landlords for a while."

The entertainment method of Doudizhu has become popular in the Han Empire ten years ago after Liu Zheng spread it.

In the early years, Liu Zheng and others' favorite entertainment was Doudizhu. Because Liu Zheng and other generals loved each other, the soldiers naturally followed suit and soon promoted Doudizhu.

Not to mention it, because Liu Zheng made something like playing cards in advance.

As a result, they also evolved other ways of playing, and Liu Zheng also told about some of the later generations of Texas Hold'em and tractors.

However, the most popular gameplay is the Landlord.

Playing Landlords is naturally a kind of game. Liu Zheng, Lu Qiling and Guo Jia play, and in order not to be bored, they will also add some lottery tickets, so the bets are naturally wine.

After all, Guo Jia is not interested in betting on other things.

After more than a dozen fights, it was obvious that Guo Jia and Liu Zheng each had their own victory or defeat.

But Lu Qiling lost badly.

"If you don't come, you won't come. Your husband will know that he bullies others. They have no wealth at all. Now that I'm fine, you've cheated them all."

After more than a dozen fights of Landlords came down, Lu Qiling lost all her blood and was won by Liu Zheng.

Guo Jia also has a small victory. After all, his smart mind is here. This kind of gadget is simply a piece of cake for someone like Guo Jia with an IQ.

"Hey, how can this be called a cheat? This is obviously won by my strength. If you can't play with me, you'll be cheating."

Liu Zheng immediately defended Lu Qiling.

"But I have lost all of it, why don't you, your Majesty, please help me pay?"

Lu Qiling smiled and smiled badly. Looking at Liu Zheng, she seemed to have a successful plan.

Liu Zheng looked at Lu Qiling's bad appearance and felt doting.

Immediately, I feel proud.

"Okay, okay, I'll rely on you. Isn't it just a few jars of wine? I'll give you it."

"Come on, let's continue. There is still some distance to Bohai here, which is enough for us to play for a long time."

As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, a few war horses came and ran over, and the sound of horse hooves had already spread here.

"Your Majesty, there is information coming from the front line."

The Jinyiwei passed the news to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei immediately came over to report the situation to Liu Zheng.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Qiling immediately came up.

I want to listen and send the message back from the front line.

Liu Zheng was not angry when he was interrupted by Dian Wei. After all, these things were more important. He immediately straightened his body and replied to Dian Wei.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Dian Wei no longer delayed and immediately waved to the Jinyiwei who had sent the order to come.

The Jinyiwei did not dare to neglect it and rushed forward, but did not dare to get too close. After all, Liu Zheng's identity is here. If it is too close, it is easy to encounter assassins. Unless it is Liu Zheng's guard, ordinary people will be seven or eight feet away from Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, General Taishici ordered me to send news. Hejian has been occupied by Yuan Xi's troops. A day ago, Yuan Xi had already asked Tadun to lead 30,000 troops from Hejian to attack Zhongshan Kingdom."

"Have you gone to attack Zhongshan? It's true that's not what I expected."

After hearing the report from the Jinyiwei, Liu Zheng immediately smiled.

"So, the people from the Zhen family have not yet withdrawn from Zhongshan?"

Liu Zheng asked the Jinyiwei.

In fact, as early as more than ten days ago, Liu Zheng guessed that Hejian County would definitely not be able to stop the attack of Yuan Xi and others.

So on the way to Jizhou, Liu Zheng discussed with Guo Jia what place Yuan Xi would attack next. Once Yuan Xi conquered Hejian, Liu Zheng ordered Xu Huang and Taishi Ci to send someone to tell the Zhen family in Zhongshan that the people of the Zhen family would not rush to leave.

The purpose is to attract Yuan Xi's attention.

So that Yuan Xi would not place his troops entirely in other places in Jizhou. Only when he attacked Zhongshan could he gain some time for Liu Zheng and come as soon as possible.

Now that he heard the report from the Jinyiwei, he roughly understood the current situation in Jizhou.

"If the people from the Zhen family calculate the time, they should have withdrawn now, but they are not very clear about where they have been retreated."

"It's okay, just withdraw, let the army accelerate forward, march to the Bohai Sea, and launch an attack directly on Hejian. We want to attack Yuan Xi off guard."

After learning the news, Liu Zheng naturally no longer had the mood to continue fighting against the Landlord.

He thought of rushing to Jizhou as soon as possible and then solving the destructive situation of Yuan Xi in one fell swoop.

The journey from Guangzong to Bohai is not far.

After a rush to march, Liu Zheng's army had already appeared in Bohai County.
