Chapter five hundred and nineteen withdrawal
After being said by Wenpin, Liu Zheng remembered that the matter in Xiangyang City had not been dealt with yet.
Cai Yao also knew it, so she didn't stop Liu Zheng, and immediately stood up and said, "If you have something to do, you can do your business first."
Liu Zheng nodded. As soon as he was about to go out, he remembered something and immediately looked at Cai Yao.
"Yao'er, your brother Cai Zhong, I originally wanted to ignore the previous agreements and directly kill into the city, capture him alive, and avenge you. What do you think?"
Liu Zheng could not fight against Xiangyang City, but Liu Zheng could not tolerate Cai Zhong's offense to Cai Yao just now. Liu Zheng could bully him. Liu Zheng might just smile lightly and didn't care, but Liu Zheng could not tolerate that if he wanted to bully his woman, Liu Zheng could not tolerate it.
What is a real man born into a human being? Isn’t he just protecting his beloved?
Now that you can’t even protect your beloved person if you are bullied, what a man is he?
"don't want!"
As soon as Liu Zheng said it, Cai Yao's expression changed and frowned and stopped Liu Zeng from doing so.
"Why don't you? He hit you in front of so many people and embarrassing me. If you are willing to forgive him, I don't want to."
"Brother Liu Zheng doesn't want it. After all, he is my brother. Even if he treats me badly, I can't treat him like that. Let him continue to live. When my brother comes back, he will deal with him."
Cai Yao is still too soft-hearted. After all, she is a girl who grows up in a big family and cannot let go of family affection.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to do it according to his own ideas, but since he asked Cai Yao, Cai Yao didn't care about Cai Zhong's affairs, and Liu Zheng didn't want to keep his word.
He left the camp and followed Wenpin and walked outside the city.
Looking at Liu Biao, Cai Zhong and others on the city tower, before he could answer Liu Biao, Liu Biao and others were already more anxious than him and started asking Liu Zheng directly.
"Liu Zheng, you have given you all the people and money you want, why haven't you retreated yet! Do you want to go back on your word?"
Liu Biao wanted to use this aggressive method to deliberately say it out, so that Liu Zheng would not dare to repent. Otherwise, breach of trust in front of so many people would also be a blow to Liu Zheng's credibility.
Although Liu Zheng looked down on Liu Biao and Cai Zhong, he still cared about his credibility and reputation. He was able to stay in this troubled times, and his reputation was of great significance.
Just like Liu Bei, who had no background, was able to make his own world in the Three Kingdoms era, all because of fame, and a good reputation for virtue, allowing many princes to accept him.
Liu Zheng was born in the Yellow Turban Army and the word "virtue" is not destined to be with him, but the word "xinyi" is still destined to be with him. As long as he is trustworthy and values affection, there will be a group of brothers who support him and can lead these people to conquer the sky.
"Liu Biao, do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't keep my word?"
"Don't worry, I originally wanted to ask you for Cai Zhong's life, but my wife Cai Yao said that she didn't want her brother and sister to kill each other, so I let Cai Zhong live."
"Cai Zhong counts you on your fortune. Today, let your head hang on your neck. When you fall into my hands next day, you will know that my sister-in-law is so powerful."
Liu Zheng smiled coldly, then turned around and walked out of the city, giving the order to withdraw troops directly.
Xiangyang City cannot be defeated, but for Liu Zheng, it actually does not mean much. Anyway, Xiangyang City today cannot be called Jingzhou at all.
Several counties in Jingzhou, except Nanjun and Jiangxia, all other places belonged to Liu Zheng.
Although Liu Zheng did not occupy the Xiangyang capital in name, Jingzhou actually belonged to Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng only needed to turn around and defeat Cai Mao's Changsha County, and everything was settled.
As for Jiangxia's Yuan Shu, it has little to do with Liu Zheng. Whether Yuan Shu defeated Jiangxia or Huang Zu defeated Yuan Shu, it has little to do with Liu Zheng.
After Liu Zheng occupied Changsha County, his power would rise to another level. By then, he would have three counties, and Liu Zheng could already have half of the world, which was enough to compete with the Han court.
Of course, it still takes some time to directly turn against the Han court. If Liu Zheng recruits troops and trains new recruits, he will not declare war without declaring war. Liu Zheng is still unwilling to launch a final decisive battle with the court so quickly.
Seeing Liu Zheng gradually leaving from outside the city, the army slowly began to set off with Liu Zheng's departure, Liu Biao on the city tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Cai Zhong, when he heard that Liu Zheng was originally planning to kill him, he was shocked and sweated. Fortunately, Liu Zheng left and his life was temporarily worry-free, but he was still worried. After all, he offended Liu Zheng to death. If Xiangyang fell into Liu Zheng's hands in the future, his life would not be easy.
However, Liu Zheng still fulfilled his promise after all. After getting the money Cai Yao and his wanted, he did not make things difficult for Liu Biao. He really led his army to leave.
In fact, the more important reason why Liu Zheng agreed to leave Xiangyang was that he understood that he would lose a lot of troops if he could conquer Xiangyang. If he really fought to the death, Liu Biao's army on the city tower would definitely burst out with different combat power. Even if the ten thousand soldiers were not experienced in the new army, under the leadership of Li Yan, he could cause some damage to Liu Zheng's people.
Liu Zheng, who had already lost more than 3,000 people, once he charged with all his strength, he was afraid that he would lose another 6,000 people.
In order to capture a Xiangyang City, more than half of the people under Taishici lost, and Liu Zheng was unwilling to see it.
After all, every one of his men is very precious and he doesn't want to see them make unnecessary sacrifices. Xiangyang City can come back to get it at any time, as long as Liu Zheng wants it.
And he was eager to withdraw his troops, mainly Changsha County.
Although Wen Pin and Gan Ning did not send any news to Liu Zheng, saying that they could not stop Cai Mao's army, Liu Zheng knew that Cai Mao would definitely send people back to Xiangyang. As long as Liu Zheng fought back at this time, he might be able to encounter a battle between Cai Mao and Gan Ning.
At that time, with more than 10,000 surprise troops from Liu Zheng, supporting Gan Ning, they can still completely end the battle between Cai Mao and Gan Ning, and they will recover Changsha County by chance.
In this way, the battle between Liu Zheng and Jingzhou was completed.
Early September 188.
Liu Zheng's army, who returned to Changsha from Xiangyang, finally received news from Cai Mao and Gan Ning when they were approaching Changsha's territory.
Just like Liu Zheng guessed, Gan Ning and Wen Pin divided their troops to garrison and were fighting in a place called Ji Tengshan.
