Zhang Mancheng originally had 200,000 troops in Nanyang, but after a battle with Zhu Jun and Qin Jie, he lost more than 100,000 troops.

However, later, because of Liu Zheng's help, after repelling Qin Jie and Zhu Jun, he gathered a lot of people, and the number of people once exceeded 200,000.

However, this time to support Jizhou, Zhang Mancheng could not bring all the soldiers and horses of his Nanyang County, he ordered 100,000 troops and led the troops to Jizhou, while leaving Zhao Hong with the rest of the people, stationed in Nanyang County, and continued to develop forces in Jiangxia County.

And the 30,000 people of Sun Xia, who were originally sent to assist Liu Zheng, are still stationed in Runan County.

"Envoy, the matter of supporting Jizhou will be handed over to you."

On the way, Zhang Mancheng had already heard Chu Yan talk about the things he had discussed with Liu Zheng in Runan City before, and Zhang Mancheng had no opinion on whether Liu Zheng would bring people over to support Jizhou, after all, if Liu Zheng could really enter Luoyang, it would be an excellent thing for Zhang Mancheng and them.

"Don't worry, with my soldiers and horses going to Jizhou, I will definitely be able to assist General Tiangong against General Zhonglang, but it is Liu Zheng you, this attack on Luoyang is very dangerous, you must protect yourself, don't fall into the trap of the official army!"

Compared with Zhang Mancheng, he thinks that Liu Zheng is much more dangerous than directly leading people to support Jizhou, so he doesn't dare not suspect that Liu Zheng has ulterior motives, but he also feels that Liu Zheng is a sign of loyalty.

"Your number of men and horses is not large, if you attack Luoyang, it will be very difficult, Sun Xia and others who I originally sent over are directly dispatched by you, bring them, and your men and horses will be enough to enter Luoyang!"

Zhang Mancheng directly promised Liu Zheng 30,000 people, and handed over the transfer power of Sun Xia and others to Liu Zheng.

Speaking of which, Liu Zheng and Sun Xia are not strangers, the two have met many times, and they have a lot of contacts, Liu Zheng also knows a little about Sun Xia, and his temper is right, Sun Xia is also convinced of Liu Zheng, and understands that Sun Xia will not pull his hind legs.

Liu Zheng did not refuse Zhang Mancheng. Although he knew that Jizhou needed these 30,000 people more than him.

But Liu Zheng doesn't have many troops of his own, and if he wants to start a war with the official army, 30,000 people may be able to give him a lot of help.

Zhang Mancheng didn't stay in Runan City for long, and soon left with people, after all, he was anxious about the situation in Jizhou, and Chu Yan said that Zhang Jiao couldn't support it for long.

Therefore, the sooner they rushed to Jizhou, the sooner they could relieve Zhang Jiao's pressure.

And after Zhang Mancheng left, Liu Zheng also began to attack Luoyang.

Attacking Luoyang is easy to say, but it is not easy to really act.

First of all, Liu Zheng and their soldiers and horses, if they want to enter the land of Gyeonggi, it is quite troublesome.

Runan County is still hundreds of miles away from Luoyang. Even if he has now begun to subdue Yingchuan County, there is still a Hongnong County separated from Yingchuan County.

Hongnong County is too familiar to Liu Zheng, because the later Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was named King Hongnong before.

It's just that the current Liu Xie should only be four or five years old.

Although Liu Zheng is very familiar with the name of Hongnong County, he has never been to this place.

The only thing I know is that this place belongs to Gyeonggi, but it is not close to Luoyang.

If you want to fight to Luoyang, you must pass through Hongnong County. Then break through the gate of the tiger prison and kill all the way to Luoyang City.

Liu Zheng wanted to attack Hongnong County, but he couldn't show it too obviously.

In case his troops and horses are mobilized, the movement is too big and is discovered by the surrounding officers and soldiers, which will be greatly unfavorable for his plan to attack Luoyang next.

A few days later, Liu Zheng estimated that Zhang Mancheng and Chu Yan's soldiers and horses had arrived in Jizhou. And with the three major generals, after the start of the confrontation.

Only then did Liu Zheng embark on his own plan to attack Luoyang.

He first ordered his troops, drew out 20,000 of his 30,000 soldiers and horses, and decided to lead 20,000 elites to attack Luoyang.

Leave 10,000 men to garrison Runan County, leaving a way back for himself.

At the same time, he took Sun Xia's 30,000 soldiers and horses to form a coalition army of 50,000 people, and began to enter Yingchuan County to take over the overall defense of Yingchuan County.

Yingchuan County and Hongnong County are not far apart, if Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses attack from Yingchuan County, it will not take much time to enter Hongnong County, and they can threaten the safety of Luoyang in a short time.

When the news spreads, the three major Zhonglang who are attacking Zhangjiao in Jizhou will inevitably be worried about this, and at the same time, they will also be able to let the court know that the Yellow Turban Army has reached Hongnong.

The transfer of 50,000 horses did have a great impact on the imperial court, the movement was very great, his soldiers and horses had just arrived at the border of Hongnong County, Hongnong Taishou had received the news, and officials from all over the country immediately organized Xiangyong and county soldiers to come to fight.

However, in the entire vicinity of Gyeonggi, because of the rampant Yellow Turban Army, the ranks of the official army have long suffered heavy losses, and the number of officers and soldiers who can organize on the side of Hongnong County is not much, only a few thousand.

In the face of Liu Zheng's 50,000 horses, it was simply a drop in the bucket, and there was no power to resist when they fought.

It only took Liu Zheng two days to wipe out the soldiers and horses organized by the Taishou of Hongnong County, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Tiger Pass.

At this point, Liu Zheng's 50,000-strong army slaughtered the Tiger Prison Pass, and this incident immediately caused a shock. The news was like a spark on fire, and it was quickly transmitted to the court and Jizhou.

Luoyang City Palace.

Emperor Han Ling took the report from the Wenchen below, and when he saw the information above, he was immediately furious.

With a flick of his hand, he threw the fold in his hand to the ground. It rolled on the ground a few times and fell in front of the general He Jin.

"He Jin, this is the good thing you did, the Dong Zhuo you recommended, this waste not only did not exterminate Liu Zheng, but let him raise 50,000 troops and rushed straight to Luoyang, now Hongnong County has been lost, if the Tiger Prison Pass is captured by it again, I am afraid that my head will not be saved!"

He Jin awkwardly picked up the fold on the ground and looked at the contents on it.

In fact, he already knew that Liu Zheng had captured Hongnong County with his men and horses, and had already reached the front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

However, he did not report the news to Emperor Han Ling.

First, he knew that if this news was known by Emperor Han Ling, then Emperor Han Ling would definitely blame him.

Second, he didn't want Emperor Han Ling to worry about these rebels, thinking that he originally wanted to secretly send someone over to stop Liu Zheng and these rebels, but the matter was still discovered by Emperor Han Ling.

Now that Emperor Han Ling already knew, He Jin had no intention of continuing to hide it.

immediately explained to Emperor Han Ling.

"Your Majesty, the tens of thousands of gold thieves are just clowns, don't take it to heart, Dong Zhuo and those people I have asked him to go to the aid of Jizhou, to assist the Huangfu Song Zhonglang General, just kill the thieves in Jizhou, are you afraid that these gold thieves will not be destroyed?"
