Zhang Liao did not attack rashly, but waited for Liu Qi's army to come from behind in Wulin.

Only when Liu Qi's men arrive here and work together to raise troops can Zhang Liao be sure of some benefits in front of Gan Ning. Otherwise, the current few men alone will not be the opponent's opponent at all.

In Wulin City.

Su Fei and Pan Lin, who fled back to the city, looked nervous at this time. This time, they led an army of 20,000. They were just going to Hanyang City to patrol and call for battle as usual, but they never expected that Zhang Liao would catch them off guard.

Now the loss of troops and generals is lost, and more than half of them are lost. This is not good news for Su Fei and Pan Lin.

Gan Ning and Zulang were both unhappy. They were originally weaker than Zhang Liao, but now they lost 10,000 troops, and they were even more at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zulang didn't know the story, so after returning to the city, he immediately asked Pan Lin.

Among the ten thousand people who lost, most of them were his navy troops. After all, the combat effectiveness of the navy troops was still somewhat different from the infantry soldiers under Gan Ning.

Now it seems that Zulang is still a little confused.

Pan Lin stammered and didn't know how to answer Zulang for a while, but he still had to explain it to Zulang.

"Master...Master, we don't know very well why these enemy troops suddenly led their troops to attack our men."

"According to the plan, General Su Fei and I came to the outside of Hanyang City with our men, but before we could set up our lineup, the enemy troops rushed up."

Pan Lin had a bitter face and explained to Zulang, explaining the reasons for why he was defeated.

After hearing this, Zulang's face turned pale.

"Baoshi! You can't do this well. Don't you know how to send some scouts? Now that so many soldiers have been lost, how can we explain to Your Majesty?"

"Brother Zu, don't you think this is strange?"

"strangeness?"

Gan Ning said to Zulang. Zulang was stunned and turned his head to look at Gan Ning, not knowing what Gan Ning meant.

"We have come here like this these days. Zhang Liao stayed behind closed doors most of the time and never thought about fighting with us. Why did he dare to bring his men to our Wulin County today? Is he brave enough to get the courage? Or is he under his command again?"

"Not that, General Huang Zhong said that, "The Ding Yuan from Jiangling has already been huddled in Jiangling City and dare not come out. The people in Hanyang City are already the most people Jingzhou can produce. Where can Zhang Liao find reinforcements?"

Zulang had some doubts about what Gan Ning said, not because he doubted Gan Ning, but because he suspected that Zhang Liao should have no reinforcements.

Gan Ning nodded.

"If there are no reinforcements, how can he defeat us?"

"I don't know this either, but there must be some reinforcements here. We must defend Wulin and immediately send someone to tell General Huang Zhong and ask him to bring people to support him."

Zulang and Zulang discussed it.

And at the same time.

On the official road outside the city of Xiangyang City.

Liu Zheng has led an army of 40,000 to approach Xiangyang City.

After fighting all the way from Runan, Liu Zheng had already captured Nanyang and asked Liu Chong to lead his men to guard Yuzhou.

The reason why Liu Zheng directly handed over the territory of the entire Yuzhou to Liu Chong was that Liu Chong was originally a person here, so that he could take over the territory of the entire Yuzhou more quickly. At the same time, Liu Zheng also wanted to test Liu Chong.

Let’s see if Liu Chong really defected to him. If Liu Chong had two hearts, he would not be at peace after he got Yuzhou.

Liu Zheng could also take the opportunity to destroy Liu Chong and completely control the entire Yuzhou.

Of course, since Liu Zheng dared to do this, he was not worried that Liu Chong would rebel. This time he came from Yuzhou, but it was just a way to borrow. Even if the retreat was blocked, it would not have much effect on Liu Zheng.

He had already planned to directly besiege Xiangyang. If he failed, he would go south along the Xiangshui River and siege Hanyang.

Both sides and Liu Zheng are advantages.

Either you conquer Xiangyang, then slowly come back to clean up Hanyang and Jiangling, or you can give up Xiangyang directly and take Hanyang and Jiangling first.

No matter what, it is feasible for Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Xiangyang City is ahead."

Xu Huang rode his horse back forward. He had already taken his cavalry and acted as a cavalry first. He set up countless scouts near Xiangyang. Any movements around here could not escape Xu Huang's eyes.

"Well, this is also the second time I have come to Xiangyang. This time, no matter what, I will defeat Xiangyang City!"

"As long as we conquer Xiangyang City and completely control Jingzhou, we will have the ability to approach the capital."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this time, we have 40,000 elite troops. I have already inquired about the news in advance. There are only 20,000 defenders left in the city. With our besieged city, there is no way to defend Xiangyang City."

"In fact, we are besieging the city, not really wanting to fight to the death with Liu in this Xiangyang, but to siege the city and fight aid. Xu Huang, you immediately send your cavalry to Xiangyang City to Jiangling and Hanyang to station. Once you find reinforcements, you will immediately attack the people who come to support Xiangyang."

"After Xiangyang was surrounded by us, it would be a dead city. Don't worry, as long as the others were destroyed, the entire Jingzhou would be my hands."

Liu Zheng warned Xu Huang.

The army continued to move forward.

Xu Huang took the order.

Not long after Xu Huang took the order, his cavalry had just been arranged, and the people under his command immediately came to news that on the way to Jiangling City to Xiangyang, there were cavalrymen. The number was small, only 5,000, but they were quickly approaching Xiangyang.

After several scouts passed this news to Xu Huang, Xu Huang did not dare to delay and immediately told Liu Zheng the news.

When Liu Zheng heard this, he naturally understood that this was Ding Yuan's army and planned to rush to Xiangyang from Jiangling.

"Hurry, Gongming, you will immediately lead the cavalry to cut off these people who support Xiangyang. You must not let them arrive at Xiangyang, Wentai, you will lead the troops to the intersection of Hanyang and intercept those who support Xiangyang from Hanyang. No one can let them come over."

After learning the news, Liu Zheng immediately instructed his subordinates to disperse tens of thousands of troops and encircle various parts of Jingzhou, and might come to support the army in Xiangyang.
