Liu Zheng expressed his considerations.

Everyone was originally a little happy, but they were silent for a while, and began to think about Zhu Jun's threat.

"We can't stay in Caiyang City for a long time, we must rush to Wancheng in a short time, gather Zhao Hongqu's men, defeat Zhu Jun in one fell swoop, and stabilize the situation on Nanyang's side."

Liu Zheng's initial plan was not to go back to assist Zhao Hong to defeat Zhu Jun, but to use Zhao Hong to contain Zhu Jun, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while, giving Liu Zheng a buffer time.

After all, Zhao Hong still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and a large number of Yellow Turban troops are stationed in Wancheng, while Zhu Jun has lost Qin Jie's assistance, and now only 20,000 horses under his command are left.

If you want to defeat Zhao Hong's army, it is not so easy, in a short time, you will definitely not be able to defeat Zhao Hong, even if you can enter Wancheng, it will take at least half a month.

And during this time, Liu Zheng can rest and recuperate, although he fought directly with Qin Jie this time, although the number of direct battles was not much, but the seven thousand soldiers and horses under his command also lost thousands of people.

Now there are only 6,000 people left in the headquarters, and 30,000 people from Sun Zhong.

After a battle with Qin Jie, Liu Zheng captured part of Qin Jie's soldiers and horses, and there were three or four thousand people, but these three or four thousand people, Liu Zheng had no way to directly become his own soldiers and horses, after all, the camps were different, and many people would not be willing to join Liu Zheng's team.

can only exchange the equipment of the soldiers and horses under Qin Jie's command, such as leather armor, hard armor, long knives, and steel spears, for the personnel under his command.

This can be regarded as a disguised enhancement of the strength of his subordinates.

But Liu Zheng's proudest cavalry, after a battle with Cai Mao, Liu Zheng still found a weakness, although these cavalry can barely ride on a war horse now, but after all, they are not a grassland people, and they can't use their legs to maintain balance on a war horse for a long time.

The battle of the cavalry, the power exerted, is not strong.

The stirrup made Liu Zheng more and more eager for it.

But the blacksmith can't find it, how to make a stirrup suitable for a war horse is also a difficult problem in Liu Zheng's heart, and at the same time, because of Huang Zhong's involvement, Liu Zheng must go to Nanyang, only when the matter on Nanyang's side is done, he will have a chance to return to Runan City.

Find Zhang Ji, treat Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, recruit Huang Zhong when the time comes, add a tiger general, and Liu Zhengcai has more capital to compete for hegemony at this time.

"Zhu Jun's soldiers and horses, although they are strong, but now that we have defeated Qin Jie, without reinforcements, he wants to defeat Wancheng, it is not easy, I guess he will not act rashly."

"So Qu Shuai doesn't have to be in a hurry, discuss a good strategy, and it's not too late to go to war with Zhu Jun."

Xu You was not as anxious as Liu Zheng, and after Liu Zheng said his thoughts, he immediately explained to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng shook his head, maybe he wasn't in a hurry, but Huang Zhong didn't want to wait too long, and the longer he delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for Liu Zheng, and he had to fight back to Runan City as soon as possible.

After a long time, I was worried that Zhang Ji would leave Runan, and secondly, I was worried that Zhang Jiao would die too quickly, and there would not be enough time for him to buffer at that time.

"Ziyuan, the longer it is delayed, it will be bad for us, and now the news of our defeat of Qin Jie should not have been revealed, take advantage of this opportunity, we can continue to use a wave of ambush techniques, pretend to be Qin Jie's men and horses, and then kill Zhu Jun's army at close range."

Liu Zheng proposed to counterattack Zhu Jun, and he already had a rough plan in his heart, that is, now that he had captured Qin Jie, Qin Jie's men and horses immediately, dressed up the Yellow Turban Army as an official army, and then approached Zhu Jun and suddenly launched an attack.

Inadvertently, it will definitely be able to give Zhu Jun a huge blow.

However, this plan still needs close cooperation.

After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Xu You fell into deep thought.

After a few moments, continue.

"If that's the case, I have a plan to defeat Zhu Jun, Qu Shuai might as well listen to me."

"Ziyuan, please speak."

"We can indeed deal a heavy blow to Zhu Jun by pretending to be an official soldier, but in order to increase the chances of success of this plan, we must also do the following."

"Well, please elaborate."

"First, Marshal Zhao Hongqu in the city must try his best to cooperate with us and others, and it is best to be able to fight Zhu Jun first, and when the battle is in a stalemate, our army will be killed."

"At this time, the identity of our overtime officers and soldiers appeared, although we can improve the morale of the officers and soldiers in a short period of time, but when we strike a blow in the back and turn against each other, the morale of the officers and soldiers will fall faster, and the speed of defeat will be accelerated."

Xu You thought about it very comprehensively, and explained Liu Zheng in detail, so that Liu Zheng nodded and agreed with Xu You's words.

"Well, that's really the key."

"Second, once we pretend to be an official and soldier to deal with Zhu Jun, we will inevitably enter the core battlefield, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties at that time, so in terms of manpower, Qu Shuai, you should consider it yourself."

"Third, capture the thief and capture the king first, close to the official army, it is also an opportunity for us, if there is a chance, we must kill Zhu Jun first, kill the enemy commander, and the official army will be defeated."

Xu You explained the points he had taken into account to Liu Zheng one by one.

The plan that Liu Zheng thought of at the beginning of pretending to be an official soldier was perfected by Xu You, and the chance of success immediately increased greatly.

"Okay, listen to what Mr. Ziyuan said, without further ado, Brother Sun Zhong, you take someone back to inform Zhao Hongqu Shuai first, ask him to fight with Zhu Jun, and inform him of our plan, and ask him to cooperate to defeat Zhu Jun, success or failure in this move."

Liu Zheng quickly arranged the rest of the things properly, and Sun Zhong was now convinced by Liu Zheng, so naturally he didn't have a second word, and directly agreed to it, and immediately returned to Wancheng with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

And Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to leave, he redressed the more than 6,000 people under his command in Caiyang City, and seconded 5,000 men and horses from Sun Zhong's hands, in addition to Liu Zheng's own cavalry team, gathered 10,000 people.

It looked like the officers and soldiers under Qin Jie's command before, and after that, they slowly began to rush towards the direction of Wancheng.

Of course, Qin Jie, Cai Mao and the others were also taken by Liu Zheng as prisoners and imprisoned in the team.

A day later, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses were gradually approaching completion, and Sun Zhong and the others had already arrived here a few hours in advance, and now, presumably according to the plan, Zhao Hong's men and Zhu Jun should have fought.

Liu Zheng excluded the scouts, and after going to investigate, he found that outside the city of Wancheng, there was a movement of fighting and killing, so he accelerated and led people to Wancheng.
