Chapter 1037: Rapid March

If it weren't for the fact that there was no shortage of grain and grass under Liu Zheng's command, the grain and grass had already been transported to the front line early, and the soldiers and horses of so many people were consumed, which was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Although Yuan Xi and Ku Dun also had sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, they mainly nourished these soldiers and horses by constantly plundering and looting.

In fact, they don't have much to store.

Yuan Xi and Bun Dun can be unscrupulous and start a war without much preparation of grain and grass, but now Liu Zheng can't.

He needs to prepare for food and grass, and even for any other factors that may determine the outcome of the battlefield, such as the terrain of the attack.

A huge battle that affects the whole body.

Sometimes it's much more difficult to command a commander than to have one or two squads alone.

A person with some ability can become a general and command an army, but not every general is qualified to command thousands of troops.

There is a world of difference between a general and a handsome talent.

For example, although the generals of these legions under Liu Zheng are all generals who command 10,000 or 20,000 people, there are not many people among them who can be called handsome.

At present, Liu Zheng thinks that the only person who is qualified to be called handsome is Huang Zhong and Sun Jian who are barely qualified.

Xu Huang, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, although they have a very high status and good martial arts, and have great prestige in the army, they sometimes act rashly.

It's still a bit reluctant to call it a handsome talent, but the martial arts of Lu Su and Zhou Yu are not particularly outstanding, but resourceful people have the potential to become handsome.

It's just that they are still too young, relatively young, and don't have much experience, so they can't be entrusted with important tasks for the time being.

On the way to Bohai County.

Tai Shi Ci has already ordered someone to pass on the information of Hejian County here.

"Hey, it's really a bit boring on the road, Qiling, come into the carriage, let's fight the landlord for a while."

The entertainment method of fighting landlords, after Liu Zheng's spread ten years ago, has long been popular in the Han Empire.

In the early years, Liu Zheng and his people's favorite entertainment was to fight the landlord, because Liu Zheng and these generals loved it, and those soldiers naturally learned from it, and soon promoted the landlord.

Not to mention, because Liu Zheng got such a thing as playing cards out in advance.

As a result, they also evolved other ways to play, and Liu Zheng also told some later generations about Texas Hold'em, tractors and other games.

However, the most popular is the way to play the landlord.

Playing landlords, naturally is also a kind of game, Liu Zheng and Lu Qiling and Guo Jia play, in order not to be bored, will also add some color heads, gambling is naturally wine.

After all, betting on other things, Guo Jia is not interested.

After more than a dozen fights, it is obvious that Guo Jia and Liu Zheng have their own wins and losses.

can lose Lu Qiling miserably.

"If you don't come, you won't come, your husband will know how to bully others, and they don't have any family background, but now it's okay, you've been deceived."

More than a dozen landlords came down, and Lu Qiling lost blood, and all of them were won by Liu Zheng.

Guo Jia also has a small victory, after all, the smart brain is here, this kind of gadget is a piece of cake for a person with an IQ like Guo Jia.

"Hey, how can this be called cheating, this is obviously won by my strength, you can't play me, just cheat."

Liu Zheng immediately defended himself with Lu Qiling.

"But I've lost it all, or will you help me compensate, Your Majesty?"

Lu Qiling smiled, smiled evilly, and looked at Liu Zheng, as if she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme.

Liu Zheng looked at Lu Qiling's bad appearance, and he was also spoiled.

Immediately arrogant.

"Okay, it's all up to you, isn't it just a few jars of wine, and the widow gave it to you."

"Come on, come on, let's continue, there is still some distance from here to the Bohai Sea, and it is enough for us to play for a long time."

As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, a few war horses came and galloped over, and the sound of horses' hooves had already spread here.

"Your Majesty, there is information coming from the front."

Jin Yiwei passed the news to Dian Wei's side, and Dian Wei immediately came over to report the situation to Liu Zheng.

Hearing the news, Lu Qiling also immediately came up.

I want to hear it, and the news comes back from the front.

Yaxing, who was interrupted by Dian Wei, Liu Zheng was not angry, after all, these things were more important, he immediately straightened his body and replied to Dian Wei.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Dian Wei didn't delay any longer, immediately beckoned, and ordered the Jinyi guard who ordered to come over.

The brocade guard didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward, but he didn't dare to get too close, after all, Liu Zheng's identity was here, if it was too close, it would be easy to encounter assassins, unless it was Liu Zheng's guard, otherwise ordinary people and horses would be seven or eight feet away from Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, General Tai Shi Ci ordered me to send news. Hejian has been occupied by Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, and a day ago, Yuan Xi had let Badun lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to set off from Hejian to attack Zhongshan. ”

"Attacking Zhongshan? As I expected. ”

After Liu Zheng heard the report of the brocade guard, he immediately showed a smile.

"So, the Zhen family's people haven't been evacuated from Zhongshan yet?"

Liu Zheng asked Jin Yiwei.

In fact, as early as more than ten days ago, Liu Zheng guessed that Hejian County would definitely not be able to stop the attack of Yuan Xi and others.

So on the way to Jizhou, Liu Zheng discussed with Guo Jia what Yuan Xi would attack next, once Yuan Xi defeated Hejian, Liu Zheng ordered Xu Huang and Tai Shici to send someone to tell the Zhen family in Zhongshan, so that the Zhen family should not leave in a hurry.

The purpose is to attract Yuan Xi's attention.

So that Yuan Xi would not completely put his troops in other parts of Jizhou, only if he went to attack Zhongshan, he would be able to buy Liu Zheng some time and come as soon as possible.

Now after hearing this Jinyiwei's report, he roughly understands the current situation in Jizhou.

"The people of the Zhen family, if you calculate the time, they should have withdrawn by now, but it is not very clear where they will be withdrawn."

"It's okay, just withdraw, let the army speed up, rush to the Bohai Sea, and launch a direct attack on Hejian, we have to catch Yuan Xi off guard."

After knowing the news, Liu Zheng naturally had no mood to continue fighting the landlord.

I wanted to rush to Jizhou as soon as possible, and then solve Yuan Xi's bad case in one fell swoop.

From Guangzong to Bohai, the journey is not far.

After a rapid march, it took two days for Liu Zheng's army to appear in Bohai County.

Tai Shici's men and horses have already been prepared here for a long time, waiting for Liu Zheng's arrival.
