This time, Zhu Wei attacked the four counties of Jingnan to take the land of the four counties as his inner belly, and Zhu Wei naturally wanted to maintain a good reputation in the four counties of Jingnan.

In this way, even if he encountered an empty village on the road where all the people had fled, Zhu Wei strictly ordered his soldiers not to enter at will, and not to destroy the fields that were left unattended.

Therefore, after Zhu Wei's army marched, the people who returned to their homes found that their homes were not in a state of looting and destruction, and even the ripe wheat in their fields had not been harvested.

After that, they found out that this army belonged to Zhu Wei, the Marquis of Qian Tang, who came from Yuzhang, and the people couldn't help but admire Zhu Wei, and felt that Zhu Wei, who could control such an army, must also be a good official.

In the eyes of the people, there are no more evaluation criteria, so officials only have the words good and bad.

In this way, Zhu Wei's army marched over Guiyang County and Lingling County, but also left a good reputation in Guiyang County and Lingling County, and won the support of many ordinary people.

Even Zhao Fan, who was with Zhu Wei's army, saw the performance of Zhu Wei's army, and he had a good impression of Zhu Wei, and his loyalty actually increased to more than sixty, but this was discovered by Zhu Wei later.

Well, let's not mention these for the time being, let's just say that after the traces of Zhu Wei's army were known to Liu Du, the Lingling Taishou in Quanling County, Liu Du was also very surprised by this.

Just like Chenxian in Guiyang County, there are not many regular soldiers left in Quanling County in Lingling County to guard, although some young people can be summoned, but how can they fight against Zhu Wei's tens of thousands of troops?

From the direction from which Zhu Wei's army came, Liu Du could naturally judge that Zhu Wei had taken Guiyang County, and then he also heard the news that Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan had surrendered to Zhu Wei.

This inevitably made Liu Du worry about his son Liu Xian, after all, at this moment Liu Xian was still in Yu County, Changsha County, with 5,000 soldiers and horses of Guiyang County, and now Guiyang County had surrendered to Zhu Wei, so once the soldiers and horses of Guiyang County in Yu County were repeated, Liu Xian would be in danger.

It's a pity that it's too late for Liu Du to send a letter to Yu County, so after thinking about it, Liu Du took the initiative to send someone to contact Zhu Wei, saying that Lingling County was also willing to surrender, and Quanling County would open the city to wait for Zhu Wei's army.

In this way, Zhu Wei can be regarded as a bloodless soldier who won Lingling County, which really made Zhu Wei very happy.

After that, Zhu Wei did not let his army go around Quanling County, but asked Liu Du to requisition a large number of ships in Lingling County, and let Zu Lang, Zu Shan, and Chen Fushuai take the mountain camp to cross the river in Lingling County by boat and go to Yu County in Changsha County first.

With the handwriting written by Zhao Fan and Liu Du in Zu Lang's hands, he should be able to easily recruit about 14,000 allied troops from Lingling County and Guiyang County under the command of Liu Xian, Xing Daorong, Chen Ying, and Bao Long in Yu County, Changsha County.

And Zhu Wei took the 4,000 crossbowmen of the Chinese army commanded by Pang Tong and Dong Xi and the 4,000 barbarians of Bunu Tanuka, Chishui Cave of Raja Kamai, and Heimu Village, but went around Quanling County.

In Quanling County, Zhu Wei also collected the money, grain, and weapons from the treasury, and then after Lingling County promulgated the decree of exempting the autumn tax of the current season and abolishing all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, he took Liu Du and Zhao Fan to Changsha County by boat to join the main army of Wang Yuyan.

Of course, before this, Zhu Wei had sent someone to contact Wang Yuyan, who had secretly transferred the army from Youxian County back to Liling County and was constructing a trap to deal with Han Xuan in Changsha, and informed her of the situation in Guiyang County and Lingling County, so that Wang Yuyan could respond accordingly.

At this point, in fact, the overall situation of the four counties of Jingnan has been decided, Guiyang County and Lingling County surrendered without a fight, and Liu Xian, Xing Daorong, Chen Ying, and Bao Long, who were originally gathered in Yu County, Changsha County, commanded about 14,000 soldiers, also after receiving the handwritten letters from Liu Du and Zhao Fan, successfully surrendered to Zulang's side.

And Liu Pan, who has the largest number of troops on the side of Changsha County, has been wiped out, which means that the four counties of Jingnan are only left with more than 4,000 troops under Han Xuan and more than 6,000 troops under Jin Wei sent by Wuling County.

But now that the combined strength of Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan's armies has really reached 100,000 people, but on Han Xuan's side, there is still Wei Yan as Zhu Wei's internal response, what room for maneuver can there be in such a battle.

That is, Han Xuan didn't know the situation, and thought that he could sneak attack and burn the rear army camp of Zhu Wei's army in Liling County, destroy the grain and grass reserves and troop transport ships of Zhu Wei's army, and defeat Zhu Wei's army in one fell swoop, and even counterattack Zhu Wei's Yuzhang land.

After that, almost when Zhu Wei and his troops also arrived in Yu County, the messenger sent by Han Xuan to contact the combined forces of Guiyang County and Lingling County arrived again.

So under the instruction of Zhu Wei, Liu Xian pretended to agree to cooperate with Han Xuan on behalf of the combined forces of Guiyang County and Lingling County, saying that he would lead the troops to rescue the so-called Liu Pan in Youxian County, and then after Han Xuan defeated the rear army camp of Zhu Wei's army in Liling County, the two sides flanked Zhu Wei's army together.

So on August 18, 196 A.D., the combined army of Yang Ling, the commander of the Han Xuan faction of Changsha Taishou and Jin Weishuai of Wuling County, with 4,000 Changsha soldiers and 6,000 Wuling soldiers, finally set out from Changsha County and prepared to attack the rear army camp of Zhu Wei's army in Liling County.

In order to avoid being detected by Zhu Wei's army, Yang Ling and Jin Wei also made a special detour, probably arriving at the boundary of Liuyang County in Changsha County on 19 August, and then wanted to detour from Liuyang County to the territory of Yuzhang, and then pretend to be the logistics and transportation troops of Zhu Wei's army from the direction of Yuzhang, and sneak attack the camp of Zhu Wei's rear army located in Liling County.

They didn't know that their sneak attack tactics were also suggested by Wang Yuyan to Wei Yan after sending someone to inform Wei Yan and ask Wei Yan to suggest to Han Xuan, but Han Xuan actually completely adopted it.

There is really no way to say what the outcome of such a sneak attack will be.

Therefore, close to noon on this day, more than 10,000 soldiers of the allied army in Changsha and Wuling counties marched to a mountain road in the Lianyun Mountain area of Liuyang County in the scorching summer of August.

On one side of this mountain road is the Liuyang River, on the other side is the rolling hills of Lianyun Mountain, and further on, there is a hill in Lianyun Mountain.

Because the summer weather is too hot, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Changsha and Wuling armies are scattered on the mountain road into a long line, and many people are already disheveled, loosely armored, and they don't seem to have many regular soldiers, just like a rabble.

Some of the commanders and marquis-level officers who led the team also looked lax, and they didn't have any sense of defense at all, and they just wanted to find a shady place to rest quickly.

Occasionally, a cool breeze blew from the Liuyang River, but these soldiers and generals would feel a little cool, and they shouted a few times in their mouths, but they were frightened by many birds and beasts running around the mountains......
