"Ji Ling commands!"

Yuan Shu listened to Yang Hong's words, and immediately sent his general Ji Ling to block this reinforcement, Ji Ling didn't talk nonsense at all, and led the army to leave after receiving the order.

Ji Ling led 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave from Lujiang City, Yuan Shu was still a little worried, after all, it was nearly 10,000 reinforcements, and it would take a little means for him to eliminate this reinforcement.

He wasn't worried that Ji Ling would not be able to defeat the reinforcements of nearly 10,000 people, but he was worried that these defenders in Lujiang City would know about the reinforcements in the distance in advance and there would be some movements.

When the time comes, the men and horses in Lujiang City will find an opportunity to break through the city, or cause some unnecessary commotion, and he will need more soldiers and horses to suppress it.

At present, of the 30,000 soldiers and horses he led, only 20,000 were near Lujiang City at this time, and after Ji Ling transferred 10,000 people, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses besieging Lujiang in Lujiang City.

These more than 10,000 men and horses want to block Lujiang City, but Lu Kang's defenders are a little troublesome, and it is not so easy.

He could only let the plan proposed by Yang Hong be put on hold for the time being, and ordered the other generals under him to pay close attention to the changes in Lujiang City.

If there is any change in Lujiang City, immediately react and take precautions to prevent the soldiers and horses in the city from converging with the reinforcements outside, as long as they do not converge together, Yuan Shu still believes that this Lujiang City is under his control.

On the other side, Ji Ling, after gathering 10,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time, quickly rushed in the direction of Yuzhang County, wanting to block this group of people and horses who came to Lujiang to rescue in the fastest time.

He didn't even hide his figure, and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush forward, causing a lot of movement.

Liu Zheng, who was on the march and worried about the safety outside Lujiang City, also quickly received the news.

"Lord Qi, our spies have come to report that the enemy has been found three miles ahead."

Wen Ping approached Liu Zheng from the beginning, and easily received the news from his subordinate scouts.

Scouts are not sent very far, so they need to wait for the enemy to get close before they can detect the enemy's movements.

And three miles is just a speculative number, the real situation, I am afraid that there is only a distance of two or three miles, if there is no tree to block, this distance, can already be seen with the naked eye.

Sure enough, after Liu Zheng heard the news, he immediately ran a few steps to the hill on the side, stood on a high place, and glanced in the direction of Lujiang City.

As a bird flew out of the jungle in the distance, in a few places where there were no trees, Liu Zheng really found a group of figures, which were moving quickly in their direction.

These people walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived not far from the location where Liu Zheng's army was.

According to their speed, it is estimated that these two miles can be completed in a few minutes, and at this time, Liu Zheng immediately waved his hand after understanding that there were soldiers and horses coming.

Wen Ping took a few steps forward.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Tell us to go down, line up, and prepare to meet the enemy, our traces have been discovered by Yuan Shu's men and horses, he has sent a large army over, look at this situation, the number will not be small, we are going to have a big battle here."

Liu Zheng didn't hide it, before he came to Lujiang, he had already asked Lu Jun, and he roughly understood that Yuan Shu was a guy who led 30,000 soldiers and horses in Lujiang County this time.

Excluding some scattered soldiers and horses scattered throughout Lujiang and the men and horses stationed around Lujiang City, Liu Zheng guessed that there would not be more than 25,000 people.

And if he hadn't arrived at Lujiang City, Yuan Shu would send soldiers and horses to fight him, Liu Zheng guessed that the number of people could not be too many, at most about 10,000 people.

After all, Yuan Shu himself still needs to besiege Lujiang, and it is impossible to transfer all his troops, and if it is only 10,000 troops.

That is exactly what Liu Zheng wanted, because if Yuan Shu merges 20,000, with Liu Zheng's current manpower, if he wants to confront Yuan Shu's 20,000 army head-on, it is false to say that it is not difficult, but Yuan Shu divides his own troops, and the same number of enemies, then Liu Zheng has no need to be afraid at all.

He was 100% sure that he could kill these soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu.

Wen Ping took the order and left, and immediately divided his 10,000 soldiers and horses into ten songs, and then ten song commanders, each led a thousand people to start a battle formation, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army in this jungle.

And Lu Jun and Lu Jun on the side didn't know what was going on, but after hearing the changes in Liu Zheng's men, they hurriedly ran over to ask Liu Zheng what happened.

Liu Zheng told them that Yuan Shu had discovered them and sent soldiers and horses over, and the two of them turned pale with fright, and immediately asked Liu Zheng what to do.

Liu Zheng looked at Lu Jun and Lu Jun, the two literati, and at first glance, they were people who had never fought before, so naturally they would be a little flustered when they encountered this kind of thing, but Liu Zheng didn't expect them to help him in the first place.

Just let Lu Jun and Lu Jun stay aside, and leave the rest to him.

Although Lu Jun and Lu Jun wanted to say that they also wanted to bring people into the battle, they saw Liu Zheng's confident appearance, and they still didn't open their mouths in the end.

After all, they still have a very clear understanding of their own positioning, and they know that they don't have the ability to march and fight, so they won't interfere with Liu Zheng's army, and even if they want to interfere, they may not be able to get Liu Zheng's consent.

Soon, Lu Jun and Lu Jun took their men and horses, far away, to stand at the back of the team, and then waited for Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses to come over.

Not long after, Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, led 10,000 people under his command to rush to the front of Liu Zheng's army.

The two sides lined up their troops and set up a posture, intending to fight a big battle twenty miles outside the city of Lujiang.

However, before the battle, Ji Ling was still quite interested, wanting to know where the group of soldiers and horses in front of him came from.

Therefore, Ji Ling rode a war horse, walked out of the team, and shouted at Liu Zheng arrogantly.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"We are the men and horses under Lord Lu Jun of Yichun County, Yuzhang County, at the invitation of Lu Kang Taishou, we came to Lujiang for help, you thieves, dare to make a move against the imperial court officials, and you are impatient."

Liu Zheng did not report his family and tell his identity, although now he must be too afraid of the imperial court, but at this time this is Yangzhou, if the news of him here is revealed, it will always bring some trouble to him.
