The scene returns to Jiaozhou.
No matter what Cao Cao's plans in Chang'an were, it would not change Jiaozhou's predicament.
If Cao Cao's grain and grass stocks were not insufficient, this predicament might be exacerbated.
"General, it only takes half a day to reach Jianning City," the general said to a young general.
The young general nodded and said: "Let the soldiers rest where they are for half a stick of incense, and then continue marching to enter Jianning City before nightfall."
"promise" The general who spoke just now did not hesitate and immediately turned around to convey the young general's order.
"Stop moving forward and rest where you are."
General Pian galloped down on horseback, shouting all the way.
The soldiers who were marching towards Jianning stopped moving when they heard the shouts of the generals.
They could also see black flags fluttering in the wind in the long queue.
This group of 20,000 soldiers and horses came out of Guangxin City and rushed to Jianning.
Liu Cong was the commander, blocking the 100,000 enemy troops coming from the Southern Barbarians.
After several days of traveling quickly, they are now almost reaching Jianning City, the city they want to defend.
Looking at the stopped army.
Liu Cong also dismounted and took several generals to the side.
Although he ordered a rest, time was tight and he needed to discuss how to defend Jianning City, so he did not delay his rest, getting the best of both worlds.
More than half of the 20,000 soldiers were recruits recruited temporarily and had no training.
Without careful planning, even if there is a city wall to rely on, it will not be able to stop five times as many enemy troops for long, and they may be scattered as soon as they come into contact.
"What's the situation now?"
Liu Cong asked.
When setting off from Guangxin City, many detectives were sent out to investigate first.
After all, it is much faster to act alone than with a large army, and it is also necessary to find out the enemy's situation. , can we make better arrangements.
Hear the words.
The general raised his hand and said: "Back to the general, now the vanguard of the Southern Barbarians, a total of 20,000 troops, has passed Shakou.
It will take at most two days to reach Jianning.
If it marches day and night, it only takes one day."
With more days, we can reach beyond Jianning.”
"In other words, if we arrive at Jianning tonight, the enemy troops may be approaching the city tomorrow night."
Liu Cong also frowned.
He knew that time was tight, but he didn't expect it to be so tight.
There was no time left for him at all.
When we arrived at Jianning City, we also needed to set up defenses, which would take time.
We can imagine that just after they had set up their defenses, the enemy troops were already approaching the city.
"That's right," General Qian said truthfully.
Liu Cong stretched out his left hand, rubbed his brow, and then said: "How are the officials in Jianning?"
"There are only 700 soldiers in the city's defense, under the control of the Jianning Prefect.
After the Jianning Prefect knew that the Nanman troops were rising, he ordered that the villages on the path of the Nanman troops be relocated to avoid the disaster of swordsmanship.
Some officials in the city were also afraid , wanted to leave his post without permission, but was discovered by the Jianning Prefect and killed on the spot, which stabilized the panic in the city."
The general did not hide anything, and truthfully explained the information returned from the detective report.
"Well done, these useless officials are useless."
Liu Cong said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Who is the prefect of Jianning?"
"This man is Jiang Wan, named Gongyan, from Lingling Xiangxiang.
He came to Jiaozhou a year ago.
Because of his talent, he was sent to Jianning to serve as the prefect," the general said.
Liu Cong nodded and did not ask any more questions.

After all, it was enough for him to know this, and other information would be sent back to Guangxin City in the same way.
As for how to arrange it, that is a matter for his father Liu Biao.
Moreover, he could also know that Jiang Wan's position as Jianning Prefect was determined by Liu Biao.
As for his eldest brother Liu Qi, he definitely didn't know, because the official arrangements in Jiaozhou were all arranged by Liu Biao, and Liu Qi never interfered , what is important is something else.
In addition, Liu Biao had repeatedly ordered him not to set foot in several places, so we can understand that there are some hidden secrets around Guangxin City that are not known to outsiders.
In Guangxin City, only a few people can come and go at will, and the rest will be arrested if they get close.
However, what Liu Cong wanted was not to know what was hidden there, but he had other wishes.
"Send people to Jianning and ask Governor Chiang to move the city and the surrounding people back to the rear.
They will strengthen the walls and clear the country, so that the enemy will not have a chance to capture anything.
After the war, they will move back; after sending people to send the intelligence Return to Guangxin and gather food and grass to appease the people; in this way, the people will not have any complaints and will not be harmed by weapons," Liu Cong ordered.
"promise" All the generals also surrendered.
Seeing this, Liu Cong also waved his hand and asked the generals to go down and make arrangements.
He also knew that if the country was to be fortified and the country was cleared, the people would definitely complain.
After all, they would have to leave their homes, but if they stayed, they would inevitably be harmed by the southern barbarian soldiers.
It would be much better if they had some comfort.
Of course, not all of them can be moved.
The Southern Barbarian soldiers are coming fiercely, so only as many as can be moved.
All the generals were also sensible people.
When they saw Liu Cong waving, they all handed over their hands, turned around and left, no longer disturbing Liu Cong, and there was nothing else to do.
They also gave the instructions that should be given, and the rest The most important thing is what happened after arriving in Jianning.
Wait for the generals to turn around and leave.
Liu Cong also sighed.
After the Jingzhou incident, he was taken to Jiaozhou by Liu Qi and handed over to Liu Biao for disposal.
As Liu Biao's second son, Liu Biao did not kill him.
Instead, he talked with him for a long time, then threw him into the army and started from a small soldier.
When Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong went to Jiaozhou to train troops, he was one of them.
In the end, he still had to stay in Jiaozhou.
Without Liu Qi's instructions, even Liu Biao would not let him leave Jiaozhou. after.
He also listened to lectures in the presence of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Cai Yong, Qiao Lao, Sima Hui and others.
After going through a lot of trials, he became what he is now, which is different from before.
Just like before, he was just a second-generation official who was domineering and without the ability to think.
Now he is not said to be both civil and military, but he can be regarded as a person with some ability.
It can be said that the current changes are inseparable from Liu Qi.
If it weren't for Liu Qi, he wouldn't have the ideas he has now, and he can still command troops and make many orders.
"Just watch, brother, this time, I will never let you down again," Liu Cong clenched his fists and murmured with determination flashing in his eyes
