Chapter 303 Obtaining the Black Tiger Flag (2 in 1)
When Liu Cheng heard this, he was stunned.
He didn't know this beforehand.
Cai Yan didn't tell him.
However, Liu Cheng still knew Cai Yan's fiancée very well and knew that the other party was a sensible person and not a random person.
Without asking Zhao Yun what it was, he directly reached out and took it.
This is a very neatly folded cloth.
He sat on his horse and opened it.
I found patterns embroidered inside.
And from the scale, it has been confirmed that it is not some shameful personal item.
Immediately, it was unfolded.
As he unfolded it, the true face of this thing was completely revealed.
This is a big flag. On the flag, a majestic and roaring tiger is embroidered with fine black thread!
The surroundings of the tiger are outlined with gold lines.
It looks like an extremely powerful horse!
When Liu Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
He signaled Zhao Yun to join him in pulling the other two corners of the flag, flattening the extremely domineering black tiger flag and displaying it towards the soldiers.
"Before the battle, my wife sent me the black tiger flag. This is a good omen! This battle will be won!!!"
Liu Cheng was in high spirits.
He spoke out to the many soldiers present.
"We must win! We must win!"
After hearing what Liu Cheng said, all the soldiers waved their weapons upward and shouted loudly.
Morale is high!
Liu Cheng immediately asked someone to hang up the black tiger flag.
Together with the flag of Governor Zhengyi, it was erected beside him.
The wind blows, and the black tiger flag seems to come alive, in the roaring forest.
Extremely majestic!
"Set off!"
On Qinghu's horse, Liu Cheng waved the big iron halberd in his hand and issued the order to send troops.
Following his order, the army gathered here moved one after another.
For a moment, the sound of soldiers and armor clashing could be heard all the time!
…
"Set off!"
At about the same time, Hua Xiong, who had been hoarding in Luo Valley but now appeared in Ziwu Valley in a very short time, also drew out his sword, swung it forward fiercely, and gave the order to move forward.
Following his order, Li Su and others mobilized their troops and headed towards Ziwu Valley.
The morale of the soldiers was high.
Their strong determination to make great achievements and the powerful motivation it brought caused them to completely ignore the difficulties of the Shu Road!
…
"Set off!"
Here on Chencang Road, west of Xiegu Road, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan waved their spears.
Following his order, many soldiers gathered here moved forward one after another!
Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief of the West Route, took a deep breath as he looked at the army that moved in response.
Then, he also mobilized his war horses and followed them.
Among the army, there were many people pushing wooden oxen and straying horses.
Wooden oxen and flowing horses are loaded with grain and grass!
In this expedition to Yizhou, Liu Cheng's troops were divided into three groups.
Liu Cheng took control of the army and was in the center.
The famous generals in his hands include Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Liao Hua, and Gao Shuncheng Lian, who was recruited from Lu Bu with the help of Dong Zhuo.
There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
More than half of them were led by Gao Shunchenglian and originally belonged to Bingzhou.
When Liu Cheng was arranging the military strategy, some people were secretly advising him to separate Cheng Lian and Gao Shun, and to separate as much as possible the soldiers and horses led by them, which originally belonged to Lu Bu.
Don't leave so many soldiers and horses from Bingzhou around you.
To avoid danger.
However, Liu Cheng ultimately did not do so.
The separation of soldiers and horses will bring a long period of weakness to the soldiers and horses.
This weakness is not only due to the split Bingzhou soldiers and horses themselves.
The same is true even for those armies that integrated the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou that had been split off.
After all, the two parties are not familiar with each other.
Training these also makes a big difference.
They belonged to different commanders before. It is simply impossible to eliminate them in a short period of time.
At this time, it was a critical moment to conquer Shu, and Liu Cheng felt that this was not appropriate.
Of course, in addition to these, another aspect is Liu Chengyi's boldness.
I feel that I can suppress these arrogant warriors.
Therefore, I left all the troops and horses coming from Lu Bu in the middle and led them myself.
Regarding Cheng Lian and Gao Shun, Lu Bu's subordinates.
Liu Cheng had no prejudice against them because of their origins.
Treat them as you would any other soldiers.
Cheng Lian and Gao Shun were aware of the conflict between their lord and Uncle Liu Huang.
Ever since they came to Wuzhangyuan and learned that Dong Xiangguo had no intention of changing generals and still wanted to use Uncle Liu Huang as the governor of Zhengyi, they had already made preparations to be suppressed.
Later, when the troops were divided into three groups to jointly attack Yizhou, Liu Huangshu did not separate himself and others, but kept himself and others with him. After serving as the central army, Cheng Lian Gaoshun became even more convinced of this
Something happened.
Uncle Liu Huang just wanted to put on small shoes for himself and others.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate and suppress himself and others.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t keep myself and others by my side!
However, what happened next was somewhat beyond the expectations of Gao Shuncheng Lian and many of their mid-level and senior generals.
The expected suppression did not come.
Uncle Liu Huang treated them as he treated the rest of his soldiers.
There is no partiality or deliberate suppression at all.
It was as if there was no conflict at all between him and his coach.
"Look, this is just the beginning.
Later, when the war begins, the dirty and tiring work requires lives, and if we can’t make any contribution, it will definitely fall on us!”
In private, some of Lu Bu's subordinates said this to others.
Extremely certain.
There was a light of wisdom in his eyes.
After hearing what he said, many people around him nodded, thinking that what this man said was very reasonable.
Something like this will definitely happen later.
After all, there were quite a few conflicts between their general and Uncle Liu Huang.
My own general, when he mentioned Uncle Liu Huang, couldn't help but gnash his teeth. I thought that when Uncle Liu mentioned his own general, the same thing happened.
Thinking of these things, some people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The discord between these two big bosses would be a disaster for themselves and others.
If you don't do it right, you and others will be implicated and lose their lives...
Liu Cheng naturally knew this.
Not to mention that this is his army and his territory, and many things cannot be hidden from him.
Even if he didn't have these, even if he thought about it, he could imagine that something like this would definitely happen.
However, he didn't pay attention to these and just did what he had to do.
Because of this, he did not do anything to the soldiers and horses led by Cheng Lian Gaoshun.
He is not like Lu Bu. He is a person who is too short-sighted to tolerate even a small sesame seed...
Zhang Xiu led his troops and horses along the sloping valley road.
This time, Zhang Xiu's position was to be the pioneer in the middle.
The main thing you are responsible for is to open roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when meeting waters.
Clear obstacles for the army behind.
This position of vanguard in the middle was obtained for him by Zhang Ji, who led troops to stay at Wuzhangyuan and on the north bank of the Wei River to guard the grain and grass camp.
By this time, his hair on the temples was a little gray, and he had completely resigned himself to his fate.
Even if he was already on top of his wives and concubines, especially the young and beautiful concubine, he tried his best and used all his strength to drain himself dry, but it was still to no avail.
Not to mention giving birth to a son, this time it was even more straightforward, there was no one with a big belly!
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji completely gave up struggling.
He wholeheartedly cultivates his nephew Zhang Xiu as his successor...
"Pioneer! There's smoke ahead!"
As we were marching forward, some soldiers pointed ahead and shouted loudly.
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was immediately shocked!
Because the section of road they are on now is the plank road!
Thinking back to the rumor that some bandit had spread in order to frame the general, "Burn down the plank road for 300 miles and create a cave in the middle of Sichuan", Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel shocked!
To be honest, this is what he is most worried about!
"Come on, hurry up and take a look!"
Zhang Xiu shouted, holding a gun, and was the first to rush over.
After running for nearly two miles, he saw what he least wanted to see!
The flames are blazing ahead and the plank road is burning!
Almost seventy or eighty feet of it was burned down!
On the opposite side of the burned part of the plank road, there were still some people preparing fire starters.
The plank road there is being lit!
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Xiu's eyes instantly turned red!
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
He said this to the people around him.
"Come with me!"
he said to some others.
As soon as he finished speaking, he held the outer edge of the plank road with his hand and turned down the plank road!
Follow the big stone pillars supporting the plank road and arrive at the steep ground below.
Then he held a gun in one hand and pressed the steep rock wall with the other hand from time to time. Smoke and fire burst out, and he crossed the burned plank road and headed towards the opposite side!!
Those who followed Zhang Xiu were inspired by Zhang Xiu's courage.
Immediately, he followed Zhang Xiu's example, climbed down from the plank road, and headed towards the opposite side!
It's just that the terrain is too steep and steep, and there are some wooden boards and other things that have fallen there and are still burning, so it's not easy to move forward.
During this process, two soldiers fell directly into the cliff at the bottom, making miserable screams.
Zhang Xiu didn't seem to notice any of this, and just kept rushing forward, as nimble as an ape.
The person who lit the fire on the plank road opposite found this and seemed a little panicked.
But there were also bold people who shouted, took some rocks and other objects, and smashed them down, trying to kill Zhang Xiu and others.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was relatively close.
Some of the soldiers who followed Zhang Xiu carried bows and arrows with them.
Seeing this, he went to the pillar that had not fallen, leaned against the pillar, took off his bow, and shot arrows at these people to suppress them.
Zhang Xiu took advantage of this opportunity and continued to rush forward.
After a while, we arrived at the foot of the plank road on the opposite side.
Then he stuck the gun behind his back and climbed up with his hands on the stone pillars supporting the plank road.
There are cliffs on the side!
He just climbed up!
Then grab the edge of the plank road with both hands and prepare to turn up with force.
As a result, at this moment, a man burning the plank road discovered Zhang Xiu climbing up. He was surprised and slashed at Zhang Xiu with the knife in his hand!
As long as he is hit, Zhang Xiu will definitely die this time!
At such a critical moment, Zhang Xiu suddenly let go of one hand and instantly pulled out the long sword from his waist. He reached back first, and before the knife fell on his head, he stabbed the man to death with the long sword in his hand!
This action is extremely thrilling!
Because at this time, Zhang Xiu was hanging in the air, with the entire weight of his body resting on one hand!
Below is a cliff!
After killing this man with one sword, Zhang Xiu threw away the sword in his hand.
Before the other enemies could react, he grabbed the edge of the plank road with both hands and climbed onto the plank road.
As soon as he got up, he drew the gun from his back.
In an instant, the gun shot out like a dragon!
He directly stabbed to death a bandit who came to deal with him!
He swiped the gun in his hand outwards and knocked the other two thieves out of the plank road.
At this time, someone had already lit a fire on the plank road again!
Zhang Xiu didn't have time to pay any more attention, he picked up his gun and rushed towards this place.
Extremely fast.
Before the person arrived, the spear was already out of his hand!
He immediately lit it on fire and stabbed the guy who was trying to run away to the ground!
Zhang Xiu rushed forward with two steps, stepped on the man's back with his feet, held the spear with both hands, pulled it out, and stabbed the man again!
After stabbing the man to death, he looked at the burning firewood, picked up the man and threw him on the fire.
The corpse hit the firewood, partially extinguishing the fire.
Seeing that there was still fire burning, Zhang Xiu stabbed the man twice more.
After there were two more holes in the body, the blood flowed out much faster.
The blood flowed onto the burning firewood, making a "squeaking" sound.
It put out a lot of fire.
But there are still some flames burning.
Zhang Xiu turned around and looked at the other man holding a knife.
This man looked very fierce, and when he saw Zhang Xiu looking at him, his whole body was trembling...
"Bang!"
A bleeding corpse flew over and immediately extinguished the remaining burning flames!
Zhang Xiu held a gun and killed more than ten of his men before they could climb up!
By the time his men climbed up, the remaining twenty or so people were already on their knees begging for mercy and did not dare to move!
At this moment, Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North, was clearly revealed!
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu left some people behind to seize the time to build the burned plank road.
And he, with more than a thousand people, took the lead in rushing forward along the Shu Road.
He was worried that there would be people burning the plank road ahead!
After him, there were more than 3,000 soldiers who followed as the follow-up troops.
As for the more than twenty prisoners, they were being whipped by whips at this time, and together with the pioneers, they were building the plank road that they had just burned down by themselves!
…
"Report~!
Dong Zhuo's bandit army is about to arrive at Nanzheng Pass!"
