Although there are troops stationed in Runan County, there are not many soldiers stationed here.

Liu Chong's subordinates had only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers, and these soldiers still needed to dispatch a large number of people to defend Zhang Fei.

There will definitely be no more than 10,000 troops who can stay in Runan.

Only this little manpower wanted to block Guan Yu and led 50,000 cavalry attacks.

It's a bit whimsical.

If you are not careful, you can't even stop it for three days.

That's why Liu Zheng was so worried.

Although the battle in Jingzhou has been settled and Liu Bei cannot make any waves, the battle in Yuzhou on the other side is probably a new pull point.

"Lord, this is exactly what I was worried about before. We are no longer in danger in the Jingzhou battlefield, but there is trouble in Yuzhou again."

It was because Guo Jia knew about this that now he ran over and asked Liu Zheng to discuss the situation on the battlefield in Yuzhou.

"We don't know what's going on in Yuzhou yet, but I think the detailed work over there should be a quick transfer of information to us."

Liu Zheng frowned and said slowly.

"Even if we don't know what's going on there, we have to send people to support us."

"It's right, I still have to send some troops to the table for the time being."

"Let's do this, Taishici and General Gan Ning continue to guard Jingzhou, and let the veteran General Huang Zhong lead the 10,000 archers under his command, and Huang Gai lead the people left by Sun Jian to support Yuzhou."

"Tell Huang Zhong, tell them not to be anxious. Go to Anfeng County first, and after you have inquire about Runan's information, then lead the troops north."

"When I came to Jingzhou before, I asked Sun Ce to lead a 20,000 army to station in Anfeng."

"If Huang Zhong's people could meet with Sun Ce and had 40,000 troops, there would probably be no problem."

Liu Zheng quickly arranged for the next military transfer.

After hearing Liu Zheng’s arrangement, Guo Jia nodded.

I have no objection to Liu Zheng's arrangements.

As long as he can protect the troops on the battlefield in Yuzhou, Guo Jia is not in a hurry.

They did not ask for victory in this battle, but as long as they could hold on and delay time, Liu Zheng would be able to take the lead.

After all, the lack of food under Liu Bei's army was obvious. It only took two months to delay and did not require them to take the initiative to attack, so Liu Bei could not withstand the withdrawal of his troops.

Guo Jia was planning to go down to convey Liu Zheng's order, but Liu Zheng remembered something again.

"By the way, Fengxiao, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack Runan, and he would definitely not let Zhang Fei from Yanzhou do nothing. I guess Zhang Fei should be ready to move at this moment, confronting Liu Chong at the border, so that Zhou Yu would not be idle either."

"Since it's a decisive battle between the two armies, let the new army he just recruited come and join in the fun."

"Just let Zhou Yu go from Xuzhou to Yanzhou's border and harass Zhang Fei. I don't expect Zhou Yu to eliminate Zhang Fei, but I have to put pressure on Zhang Fei and reduce the pressure on Yuzhou."

Liu Zheng could not go to Yuzhou in person to help them fight against Liu Bei, but in order to give them a stronger chance of winning, Liu Zheng had already dispatched all the troops he could mobilize here.

I don’t ask them to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop, but I hope they can defend it.

Just like that, I waited for a few more days.

The situation on the battlefield in Yuzhou finally reached Liu Zheng.

It was indeed not as expected by Liu Zheng.

Runan County was captured in just three days.

Guan Yu's army set out from Nanyang County and fought directly along the way. With Guan Yu's ability, no city was his opponent wherever he passed.

Although Liu Zheng had not many defenders in these cities, they were all very loyal to Liu Zheng, especially Liu Zheng had praised a county magistrate who resolutely resisted the enemy, so that the county officials under his command would attach great importance to dedication.

Guan Yu's 50,000 cavalrymen rushed over and conquered seven cities in three days.

The troops were divided into three groups and gathered troops in Shangcai County, the capital of Runan County.

The defenders of Shangcai County were led by Zhang Lin, the prefect of Runan County.

This Zhang Lin (a friend-friendly guest star in the book lover Linlin) is not very old and is only in her early twenties.

He was also a student trained in Liu Zheng Military Academy. He was the second group of students. Because he was not good at martial arts and was only proficient in government management, he did not join the army. Instead, he was assigned to the local government, engaged in the position of prefect and was responsible for managing local government affairs.

When Guan Yu's army appeared in Runan's territory, Zhang Lin actually reacted very quickly. He knew that his side was the front line of the battlefield. Half a month ago, he adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

Almost all the people were moved to the city, leaving only a small number of people to farm outside the city.

In addition, he also gave the people a lot of weapons and temporarily summoned the township warriors to the city towers of various cities to participate in the city's defense work.

But even so, his men and horses were unable to stop Guan Yu's army.

Guan Yu's Wuhuan army was divided into three groups, with more than 10,000 cavalry each. These cavalry ran around the city, which was enough to make people scared.

In addition, these cavalry were all cavalry of the Kushan Empire. They were all good at riding and shooting. They were their specialty.

Because of this, it is difficult for the people who are defending to really defend.

It is not even necessary that these cavalry really attack the city gates, and just run around the city to attract the attention of the people on the city tower.

The defenders in these small towns will be fooled and have no courage to keep calm under the impact of more than 10,000 cavalrymen.

When several surrounding cities were conquered, the Shangcai County town where Zhang Lin stationed became the only city with defenders.

Guan Yu's 50,000 cavalry gathered here, and he had no intention of attacking the city immediately. There were still 8,000 defenders in the city. If he really wanted to attack, it would not be easy to fight.

Guan Yu planned to take the night attack method and wait until the night before attacking the city.

However, he received an order from Liu Bei and learned about the battle situation in Fancheng, which made Guan Yu unable to sit still.

Instead of taking a more stable approach to break the Shangcai County, he attacked Shangcai at all costs after receiving the order.

In just half a day, Guan Yu broke through Shangcai County and successfully entered Shangcai County at the cost of losing more than 5,000 cavalry.

The prefect of Runan, Zhang Lin, a scholar, personally commanded the battle on the city tower, fighting to the end of the battle, and finally died for the city with his life.

When the news came back to Xiangyang City, Liu Zheng was stunned on the chair.

There was a bit of regret, and Zhang Lin's move even more moved Liu Zheng.
