Liu Zheng’s goal is not Cai Mao himself.

Cai Mao and the thousand officers and soldiers under him were just bait used by Liu Zheng to attract Qin Jie in Cai Yang City.

This time Liu Zheng deliberately let Cai Mao go back. Cai Mao, who suffered a great loss, would definitely not admit his failure. He would definitely make a big announcement in front of Qin Jie, how ambush he had suffered, and then instigated Qin Jie to send troops to attack these Yellow Turban thieves again.

Cai Mao's fanning of the flames will inevitably make Qin Jie quite concerned about the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, and then they will make great moves and bring more troops out of the city to sweep.

This time, Cai Mao only saw the 4,000 soldiers and horses that Liu Zheng was ambushed in this valley.

He didn't know that Liu Zheng had arranged a total of 7,000 people here. So next time he came here, he would only think that there were 4,000 people here.

I never thought that Liu Zheng had actually arranged 7,000 people here.

And these seven thousand people were not Liu Zheng’s final killer weapon to deal with Qin Jie. His real idea was to wait for Qin Jie’s second attack to lure them onto the road to Wancheng and enter the second ambush.

The 30,000 people who were ambushing there.

There is the real battlefield and the last step Liu Zheng used to deal with Qin Jie.

Of course, before that step, Qin Jie first had to fall into the trap and continue to send troops to pursue Liu Zheng, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhou Cang took the remaining two thousand men to pursue Cai Mao, which was also to make Qin Jie even more annoyed, and wanted to anger Qin Jie and attract Qin Jie to pursue him.

Cai Mao fled in the wilderness and took only a quarter of an hour to escape back to Caiyang City.

At this time, Qin Jie in Caiyang City had just rectified his troops and was about to take his people to Wancheng to gather Zhu Yan's troops and siege Wancheng together.

Seeing Cai Mao running back in a panic, the thousand soldiers he brought suffered heavy losses, and only dozens of people left by his side escaped, he immediately became furious and grabbed Cai Mao and questioned him.

Cai Mao came to Qin Jie with a frustrated face, sweeping away his previous enthusiasm. At this time, Cai Mao was only disappointed and unwilling.

Qin Jie asked about Cai Mao's cause and effect. In order to escape from the crime, Cai Mao naturally could only answer that he had pursued the enemy too deeply and was ambushed and said it.

"Damn it, we just captured Caiyang City, and there was a small group of Yellow Turban Army so arrogant and dared to play with me. Cai Mao, did you see clearly the number of Yellow Turban Army?"

"I see clearly. About four or five thousand people are not very good people. I see their outfits, and they seem to be some disabled people."

"Okay, I'm worried that I can't find the whereabouts of those Yellow Turban thieves. They dare to chase Caiyang City. I'll give you a chance to make up for your merits. You can order three thousand more people and make sure to destroy this Yellow Turban thief."

Although Qin Jie was quite angry with Cai Mao, if he punished Cai Mao at this time, Cai Mao would definitely be dissatisfied and simply gave him a chance to make up for his merits.

Cai Mao was originally a famous big family in Jingzhou and a local prominent family. Even Qin Jie knew that Cai Mao had it, he didn't want to blame him for it.

When Cai Mao heard Qin Jie's words, his originally depressed mood immediately ignited a raging fire at this time. The time for revenge came. He had this opportunity, so why didn't he want to cherish it? He immediately took the order to Qin Jie.

As soon as Cai Mao left, Qin Jie frowned and shouted at the guard outside the door again.

"Go and invite Han Sheng over!"

Soon, Huang Zhong hurried to Qin Jie's tent.

"Sir, call me."

"Hansheng, Cai Mao was ambushed and lost a thousand soldiers. I suspect that the small group of Yellow Turban thieves outside the city had a purpose. Maybe this time it would be ambush. You go and lead three thousand soldiers and follow Cai Mao behind, don't be alerted."

"If Cai Mao was trapped this time, you can serve as a helping hand to help Cai Mao. Only then can you wipe out the Yellow Turban thieves in one fell swoop."

Cai Mao was stupid. He might not have expected that there were experts in the Yellow Turban Army, but Qin Jie was not stupid. He was not blinded by hatred, so at this time, he made another reinforcement, intending to assist Cai Mao.

Huang Zhong quickly agreed. After Cai Mao took his men away, Huang Zhong also ordered three thousand troops and quickly rushed out of Caiyang City.

On the other hand, the two thousand Yellow Turban Army pursuing Cai Mao, after driving Cai Mao into Cai Yang City, immediately retreated according to Liu Zheng's previous instructions.

Not long after, Cai Mao took his men and continued to walk out of Caiyang City, and quickly chased Zhou Cang in the direction before.

After Zhou Cang saw that Cai Mao led the team again in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I guessed it well with Liu Zheng, but Cai Mao did everything and chased him out.

Along the way, Zhou Cang once again used the guerrilla tactics mentioned by Liu Zheng to hang Cai Mao, allowing Cai Mao to pursue him all the time. However, this time, Liu Zheng changed his place and did not continue to ambush Cai Mao at the previous location.

Instead, he got the ambush in advance. When Cai Mao and his men just walked out of Caiyang City, Liu Zheng's hidden manpower rushed out immediately.

First, Xu Huang rushed out with two thousand other men.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang pulled out his long axe, rode on the war horse, and roared angrily, guiding the two thousand Yellow Turban troops beside him to kill Cai Mao.

But this time, Cai Mao no longer had the panic he had the last time.

After all, he already knew the number of Yellow Turban Thiefs here, and had already thought in advance that there might be ambush, and he commanded the government troops around him in an orderly manner to start fighting the enemy.

Step by step, these officials and soldiers were well equipped and had strong morale. They began to attack the coalition forces formed by Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, and the two sides fought together at this time.

If there were no other factors to prevent them, even if there were two generals Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, the command of these Yellow Turban Army, the military quality of the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to defeat the 3,000 people under Cai Mao’s command.

After all, the overall quality of the official army is still slightly stronger than the Yellow Turban Army. Even if Liu Zheng trained these Yellow Turban Army, he could not raise them to a level that was enough to compete with the official army in such a short period of time.

In addition, Liu Zheng's real elite cavalry was not here, so he was not sent out, so Cai Mao fought harder and fiercer, and he was about to win, suppressing these Yellow Turban troops.

Liu Zheng watched Cai Mao lead his men to continue going deeper, and knew that the time was coming, so he waved his hand quickly, allowing the other three thousand people who had long been ambushed here to quickly surround him and then come behind Cai Mao.

"superior!"

Commanding the last three thousand people, Liu Zheng ordered these people to start rushing towards Cai Mao's people.

The shouts of killing came from behind Cai Mao immediately. Cai Mao, who was already a little proud, instantly changed his face at this moment.
