Chapter 263: The Old Man

Yuan Zhou's words aroused Liu Zheng's interest, and at that moment, Liu Zheng walked out of Shaoyang City with Yuan Zhou, intending to meet his own people.

Those people did not enter the city, but temporarily settled outside Shaoyang City, and the direction they came from was not the location of Cai Mao's garrison, thinking about it, they should have come from the direction of Yangzhou.

In order to show their sincerity in asking to see Liu Zheng, those people did not come directly with soldiers and horses, but only three or five people entered the city, and then waited for Liu Zheng to come over to meet them in the reception hall on the side.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zheng chose to meet.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zheng's eyes fell on those people, and he was stunned.

These people are none other than people he is familiar with.

In the hall, there were four people standing at this time, one was Chu Yan, who was recognized by Liu Zheng at a glance, and it was still the same appearance he had seen a year ago.

The other two are Zhao Hong and Sun Xia.

These two, Sun Xia was separated from Liu Zheng in Runan, and he returned to Nanyang with some of his original soldiers and horses to unite with Zhao Hong.

And Zhao Hong has been taking Zhang Mancheng's remnants of more than one horse and stationed in Nanyang County, before Liu Zheng was able to occasionally receive some news about Zhao Hong and Sun Xia, and later after Liu Zheng brought people to Jiaozhou, the distance was too far, and there was less news to come.

Because Liu Zheng broke away from the organization of the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't pay too much attention to their deeds, and he didn't expect that at this time, they would appear outside Shaoyang City.

And the last person, wearing a suit of armor and a bit of a young general, Liu Zheng really didn't see who this person was when he first saw it.

Although Liu Zheng saw a sense of familiarity from the person's appearance. But Liu Zheng was sure that he didn't seem to know such a general.

When Liu Zheng's gaze swept over Zhao Hong and the others, he immediately thought of something, and then blurted out two words with a fierce face.

"Zhang Ning!"

This person is none other than Zhang Ning, the saint of the Yellow Turban Sect.

The last time Liu Zheng saw Zhang Ning, it was still in Runan, and at that time, Zhang Ning was ordered by Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, to reward Liu Zheng and gave Liu Zheng the title of Marshal of Runan.

Later, Zhang Ning went to Zhang Mancheng for help, and took Zhang Mancheng's reinforcements to Jizhou, which seemed to be making some last efforts for the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Zhang Ning's efforts were reduced to ashes after the sudden death of Tiangong General Zhang Jiao.

The Yellow Turban Army still disappeared like a bubble, and the million-strong army collapsed in just a few months.

After the fall of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ning had no news, Liu Zheng at that time had not been worried about Zhang Ning for a while, but he did not receive any news from Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning, a woman, gradually did not care so much in Liu Zheng's heart.

But Liu Zheng didn't expect that a year later, he would see Zhang Ning in Shaoyang.

Today's Zhang Ning, who has changed the dress of his daughter's family before, is dressed in silver armor and holds a long sword in his hand, with a heroic posture, but he really has a bit of the demeanor of a brave young general.

Although it is said that the capital of the Yellow Turban Army is not much, there is no money for money, and there is no food for food, but Zhao Hong and Zhang Ning are ordinary people, one is the saintess of the Yellow Turban Army, and the other is Qu Shuai of Nanyang, so they are naturally one of the few relatively wealthy people in the Yellow Turban Army.

The clothes on his body are quite gorgeous, and he doesn't look ordinary.

"Liu Zhengdaqushuai, I haven't seen you for a year, I didn't expect you to know me."

"Miss Ning'er laughed, I, Liu Zheng, am not blind, when Miss Ning'er came to Runan to give me the order of General Tiangong, I still remember it vividly, how dare I forget it."

"Do you remember that incident, but when you mention my father's name, you forget that you have long since left the Yellow Turban Army, should I say that you are ungrateful, or treacherous?"

Zhang Ning turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng, with a snow-white little face, he couldn't see much emotion.

After Zhang Ning's words were finished, her eyes looked at Liu Zheng. Although the expression on his face has not changed much, it looks very cold.

But Liu Zheng could still see through Zhang Ning's eyes that Zhang Ning's eyes were full of resentment.

Anyway, Zhang Ning still has some blame for Liu Zheng, after all, Liu Zheng has the ability to lead the Yellow Turban Army to continue to develop in this troubled world, but Liu Zheng directly stated that he broke away from the Yellow Turban Army, which made Zhang Ning's last hope shattered.

"Ungrateful, treacherous!"

Liu Zheng muttered these two words carefully, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Ning'er, think about it yourself, if I, Liu Zheng, am a treacherous and ungrateful person, how could I lead thousands of soldiers and horses to defend Runan, block Dong Zhuo's 20,000 army, and rely on the little manpower under my command to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and even buy you a month, and lead my elite to attack Luoyang at night and kill the Han Emperor!"

"Isn't anything I do more dangerous than your battle in Jizhou?"

"I risked my life to play with you, but what did you give me in return? Fight in your own nest, let the officers and soldiers find an opportunity, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out in the blink of an eye! The reason why the uprising failed was not a war crime at all. ”

Liu Zheng also said these words lightly, and did not accentuate his tone and tell his hard work.

The other people naturally didn't know Liu Zheng's danger at the beginning, but the expression on Sun Xia's face who was standing aside was a little moved.

Sun Xia followed Liu Zheng before, all the way north to enter the Tiger Prison Pass, and was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass for nearly a month, that month's hard work, Lu Zhi's back and forth attack of soldiers and horses, and the loss of soldiers on the upper floor of the Tiger Prison Pass, finally at the cost of losing 20,000 people, only to keep the Tiger Prison Pass for a month was not defeated.

And Sun Xia has experienced it all, this kind of life-risking play, even Sun Xia felt surprised, and now when he thinks about it, he has a feeling of fear, not that he is lucky, but that he has already died in the Tiger Prison at the beginning.

Sun Xia understood how brave Liu Zheng was at the beginning. But despite Liu Zheng's courage and hard work in the final glorious struggle for the Yellow Turban Army, he could not withstand the devastating blow brought by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

After saying this, Zhang Ning, who still had a complaining look just now, also had some changes in expression on his face.

"Even so, my father treats you well, why do you want to betray us, if you unite with us, even if you can't overthrow the court now, you must have something to do, the world is so big, we only need to occupy a state and a few counties to develop steadily, and finally slowly try to overthrow the court!"
