Just as Liu Zheng had just brought his people to Wu'an Village and planned to learn about it first. When the people gathered in the counties, Mi Zhu also sent someone to spread the news to him.

The Mi family was originally in Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, their territory was quite powerful. Although they were mainly engaged in business, their business was still very wide. If there were any slight disturbances in Xuzhou, they could receive it as soon as possible.

When the people in Xuzhou gathered in the counties, Mi Zhu naturally knew about these things, and at the same time, he knew that the people in Xuzhou seemed to be interested in attacking Donglai, and there was a trade transfer station by Liu Zheng in Donglai.

Mi Fang, who is responsible for the entire route, often stationed here, so Mi Fang was worried that these people in Xuzhou would be unfavorable to Liu Zheng's transit station, so she hurriedly came to report the news to Liu Zheng.

Because the military dynamics in Xuzhou began to gather in the past two days, when Mi Fang received the news, he hurried to the transit station to report to Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng had just arrived in Wu'an Village, Mi Fang also chased after him and met Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng’s attitude towards Mi Fang was actually not particularly good. This guy abandoned his family and defected to the Wu Kingdom in history.

The subsequent series of things are ultimately greedy for life and fear of death.

However, now, Liu Zheng is not particularly annoying to Mi Fang. At least he has not done anything so far, which can make Liu Zheng feel that he has no effect at all.

It doesn’t matter if you are greedy for life and fear of death. As long as you don’t put him in a military position and let him manage the caravan, there is no big problem.

After Mi Fang saw Liu Zheng, his first idea was to report to Liu Zheng immediately, which was to report to the military mobilization in Xuzhou.

"Sir, the big thing is wrong! Our spies in Xuzhou have received news that Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian is secretly mobilizing his army, intending to attack Donglai County and cut off the retreat of the Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou!"

Mi Fang said a long story short and said the main things first.

However, Liu Zheng disagreed with this because he had already returned to the news.

"I already know this, Mi Fang, tell me what you know, how many people are there in the counties? Who is the leading figure?"

Compared with the information found by the people from Wu'an Village, Mi Fang knew much more in detail than them.

At least, who is the leading figure who gathered in the counties this time, and how many people he led, all knows.

When Liu Zheng asked, he immediately began to answer him.

"Sir, my spy told me that the leader was Cao Bao, the general under Tao Qian, and the cooperation was Zhao Yu, the prefect of Langya."

"Cao Bao led Tao Qian's 20,000 troops to gather in the counties, and Zhao Yu's 5,000 county soldiers."

Mi Fang is from Xuzhou after all, and his spies are all over Xuzhou, so some of these news can be easily learned.

"Cao Bao, Zhao Yu."

When Liu Zheng heard the names of these two people from Mi Fang, he was not very worried. As long as it was not Liu Guanzhang and Cao Cao's men, Liu Zheng didn't care much about the others. After all, Tao Qian had no talent under him who could use it.

And this Cao Bao and Liu Zheng also have an impression of it.

In history, he was originally a subordinate of Tao Qian. Later, after Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou, he became Liu Bei's subordinate. However, this guy later betrayed Liu Bei and defected to Lu Bu. He also married his daughter to Lu Bu.

However, such a person who recurred still had no good ending. Liu Zheng remembered that he died at Zhang Fei's hands.

At this time, when he heard Mi Fang say that this guy led 20,000 people stationed in Zhuxian County and planned to attack Donglai, Liu Zheng actually had some doubts about whether he had the ability.

As for the Langya prefect Zhao Yu mentioned by Mi Fang, Liu Zheng has never heard of it. Maybe he was not famous during the Three Kingdoms period and was not very famous, so Liu Zheng didn't remember such a person.

But I think I must have some confidence to be able to get into the position of prefect, otherwise I would not have been sent by Tao Qian to attack Donglai together with Cao Bao.

"It seems that Tao Qian is still a little careless if he wants to attack Donglai."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but say, before Liu Zheng and others arrived, perhaps Tao Qian's more than 20,000 troops attacked Donglai in surprise. After all, Zhang Ning himself only had 50,000 or 60,000 people, of which 40,000 to 50,000 were occupied in Beihai County, and there were only 10,000 people left in Donglai.

Ten thousand people were scattered among the various counties in Donglai County. If they did not gather together, they could easily be defeated one by one by Tao Qian. As long as they occupied the main towns in Donglai in a short period of time, and then returned to surround Beihai County.

At that time, Zhang Ning and others who stayed in Beihai County would have to wait to die, otherwise they would have to surrender.

But now, since Liu Zheng learned about the news, although Liu Zheng only brought less than 8,000 people over.

But dealing with these men under Cao Bao was enough to deal with eight thousand people.

"Lord, don't be careless. Although the other side has only more than 20,000 people, we only have a few thousand soldiers now. If we fight head-on, we will not have an advantage."

Dian Wei stood beside Liu Zheng and heard that Liu Zheng looked down on his opponent so much, he stood up and advised Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng glanced at Dian Wei and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, Dian Wei, I don't take it seriously yet. You can immediately send people to inquire about the news. I want to know where Cao Bao from all counties will come from, and then set up an ambush on the road and directly defeat him Cao Bao."

"Yes, lord."

Although Dian Wei was Liu Zheng's personal military commander, he was the closest person when Liu Zheng had no other military generals around him.

Although Liu Zheng had Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others around him, they had just defected to Liu Zheng and could not get Liu Zheng's full trust. There was no way to leave everything to them.

Liu Zheng would rather trust Wu Anguo, who had just joined, than trust Lu Bu directly.

With the news conveyed by Mi Fang, Liu Zheng had a preliminary understanding of the people in Zhuxian County. He did not act rashly. After all, the other party had 25,000 people, and his subordinates had less than 8,000 people.

There is still a gap in military strength. If you attack rashly, you may easily capsize in the gutter. Liu Zheng, who has always been steady, naturally has to wait for his own people to find out the news clearly and understand when Cao Bao and others will attack Donglai before making plans.
