Regardless of whether Huang Zhong wanted to or not, he couldn't leave at this moment.
We can only let others carry him forward.
Almost all of the manors in Changsha County were looted by Wang Ding.
At that moment, Wang Ding led his troops to the north, preparing to return to Luoyang.
This time, after more than a month of coming out, we harvested three generals, more than a thousand horses, and 100,000 shi of food and grass. It was already a full harvest.
However, the food and grass are temporarily hidden in the mountains and forests, and Wang Ding cannot take away so much food and grass for the time being.
In the team, Wei Yan was riding a war horse.
Wenpin was tied to the horse, while Huang Zhong was carried away.
There were also more than a thousand prisoners, all of whom had their hands tied.
Xiangyang City!
Liu Biao frowned.
The entire army of three thousand cavalry was wiped out and Wenpin disappeared. Liu Biao found it difficult to accept this result.
Before he could recover from this, he heard again that Han Xuan had been killed, and Liu Biao almost lost his breath.
He knew that he still didn't pay enough attention to this "horse thief".
Then he guessed that they were cavalry from Luoyang, so he should pay more attention to them instead of thinking about how to quietly capture the "horse thieves".
In the end, it was him who stole the chicken but lost the rice.
Not only did they lose one general, but the three thousand cavalrymen they had always regarded as their treasure were also completely wiped out.
From now on, I'm afraid there will never be any cavalry in Jingzhou again.
Now, Wang Ding is in the north and has already blocked many trade routes.
The horse dealers had no choice but to send the smuggled war horses from the north to the south.
Cai Hao and Zhang Yun led the navy to block the waterway.
But on land, without cavalry pursuit, Wang Ding could easily avoid the Jingzhou Navy.
Liu Biao wanted to mobilize his infantry to blockade Wang Ding.
But every time before the infantry completely blocked it, Wang Ding had already led his men through their defense line.
Liu Biao could only be led by Wang Ding.
Wang Ding has a small number of people, but he moves quickly and is easy to hide.
If it weren't for the fact that there were more than a thousand prisoners, they would have been faster and wouldn't have given Liu Biao a chance.
Wang Ding headed north, avoiding many soldiers and horses sent by Liu Biao.
Wenpin has already failed, and the infantry sent out now are even more cautious.
Even if they knew that Wang Ding's cavalry was dozens of miles away, they did not dare to take the initiative and could only defend passively.
After a few days, Liu Biao finally gave up.
Now he is just being led by the nose by Wang Ding. Wang Ding can hit him whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants.
Liu Biao had no chance at all.
Kuai Liang suggested that Liu Biao ask Huo Jun to ambush the cavalry outside Wancheng instead of chasing the cavalry with infantry.
From Jingzhou to Luoyang, it is nothing more than those roads.
As long as ambushes are planted along those roads, there will definitely be opportunities. It would be better than being led by the nose like now.
Wang Ding went all the way north, and he didn't just rush back to Luoyang without stopping.
Along the way, when he encountered a gentry's manor, he would still lead his men to loot it, and then hide the looted food in the nearby mountains and forests.
Wang Ding and the others were like locusts passing through the border, but they did not harm ordinary people at all.
Along the way, although Huang Zhong couldn't move, he also saw Wang Ding's behavior.
He can now be sure that this cavalry is definitely not a horse thief.
While Wang Ding was still looting these manors along the way, a caravan also came from the direction of Luoyang.
They purchased grain along the way, but every day people in the caravan entered the nearby mountains and forests, and they could always carry out bags of grain.
It was the food that Wang Ding looted and hid in the mountains and forests before.
This caravan from Luoyang was also sent by Guo Jia.
It was just so that these grains could be taken out of Jingzhou in an honest and fair manner.
In the caravan, Wang Ding's personal guards have already been mixed in.
It was all before that, in Xinye Nanyang, I followed Wang Ding to plunder those manors and knew where the food was hidden.
In the name of the caravan, these grains were quietly sent away.
Coming from Luoyang, we will then take the waterway and go directly to Hanzhong.
Even if Liu Biao noticed something later, it would be difficult to stop him.
"It seems Liu Biao has given up."
In the past few days, Wang Ding did not receive any more news about Liu Biao sending an army.
He was relieved and ransacked a few more manors.
Wenpin was tied to the horse every day, and his heart became more and more desperate.
Wei Yan surrendered, Huang Zhong was injured and was carried away.
Originally, he had hoped that Liu Biao would send a large army to rescue him.
But in the end, even after leaving Changsha County, no one came to rescue him.
Unlike Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Wenpin's family members are all in Xiangyang City now.
Even if he doesn't think about himself, he still has to think about his family in Xiangyang.
Wang Ding has entered the territory of Nanjun.
The gentry in Nanjun's territory have also heard for a long time that there is now a group of horse thieves in Jingzhou's territory plundering everywhere, specifically picking up manors outside the city.
They had already moved all the food in the manor to the city.
Although it's a little troublesome, it's better than being robbed by horse thieves.
Some people thought before that Liu Biao could destroy this horse bandit.
But now, they received news that the horse thieves from Nanyang County had gone to Changsha County and killed the prefect Han Xuan in Changsha County. Even the three thousand cavalry in Liu Biao's hands were wiped out.
Now the gentry in Nanjun no longer have hope for Liu Biao.
If you want to avoid being robbed by horse thieves, you can only send all the food to a safer city first.
Wang Ding was in Nanjun and raided several manors, but gained almost nothing.
Even so, Wang Ding did not encounter a single manor, but still went to loot it.
Anyway, we are just passing by and there is no need to waste time.
But while Wang Ding was still in Nanjun, he received news from Nanyang.
A batch of grain and grass he had hidden in Nanyang County was actually looted by a group of bandits.
It was always him who robbed others, but this time he was actually robbed by bandits.
Although they were all stolen by him, Wang Ding is in great need of food now.
The food stolen by the bandits was not much, only more than 10,000 dan.
Wang Ding immediately decided not to stay longer in Nanyang, but directly took Wei Yan and Ma Chao with him and hurried back to Nanyang County.
Zhang Xiu led another 500 cavalrymen and continued to move forward with the prisoners.
Within three days, Wang Ding had arrived at Nanyang County.
However, a group of thieves in Qingfeng Mountain robbed his food.
Wang Ding made some inquiries and found out that the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain were also from the Yellow Turban Army.
Liu Biao also sent people to destroy them many times before and after, but each time the bandits escaped.
This group of bandits has not always been in Qingfeng Mountain.
It was in Jiangxia before. After Liu Biao cleaned up the dens there, some of the bandits who escaped fled to Nanyang County and established themselves in Qingfeng Mountain.
The leader of the bandits was a former commander of the Yellow Turban Army. Wang Ding had also heard of his name, Liao Hua.
