Chapter 68 Chapter 68: Battle of the Tigers (5)

On September 10th, at the entrance of Dangyang Valley, in the early morning, a ray of light pierced the darkness in the sky. Liu Wenzhi, the left minister of Li Kingdom, was strolling in the camp, the sergeants on duty came out, most of Liu Wenzhi's 20,000 red brigade infantry who had been stroked were still asleep, and the camp had just started to light a fire for cooking.Liu Wenzhi led a soldier to look around. In the morning, there was silence in the barracks. The veteran was chopping firewood with an iron ax and stuffed the wood chips under the pot.The weather was already very cold, and the pot was extremely warm. Liu Wenzhi stood by the pot to warm his hands, smelling the aroma of meat porridge.

Liu Wenzhi is a civil servant, he understands military formation but cannot fight.However, he was strict in running the army. He got up earlier than the soldiers every day and patrolled the camp, rain or shine.Most of the soldiers from the Li Kingdom came from the Nanman tribe, and they didn't like his behavior at first, but they couldn't help admiring his majesty and diligence.Among the 20,000 red brigades, Liu Wenzhi followed his orders wherever he went. "It's so quiet." Liu Wenzhi sighed softly. "My lord," the soldiers approached, "how long are we going to stay here?"

"I'm afraid it will take a few more days," Liu Wenzhi shook his head, "There was definite news yesterday that Xie Xuan's troops were fighting Bai Yi for the second time at Shangyang Pass, we must stay here, otherwise Huaye's Fenghu Supporting Bai Yi, Xie Xuan has absolutely no chance of winning." "But how do we evacuate? There are enemies on both sides." The guards were also worried. "Although the road is far away, if you want to go home, there is always a way." Liu Wenzhi comforted him with a smile. Another soldier ran over with his saber in hand, and knelt in front of Liu Wenzhi: "My lord, Chunguo Huaye has an envoy!"

"So early?" Liu Wenzhi was surprised, "Then invite him in." Immediately, several of Liu Wenzhi's personal soldiers came, surrounded by a strong man dressed as a Fenghu cavalry, and that Fenghu was holding something wrapped in green cloth in both hands.Fenghu stood in front of Liu Wenzhi, bowed slightly in salute, and held the package up. "What is this?" Liu Wenzhi patted the package.There are often gifts between him and Hua Ye, such things are not uncommon, but it is the first time that the other party's envoy came early in the morning. "It's what our general returned to Prime Minister Liu."

Liu Wenzhi opened the package, and inside were three ancient scrolls.Liu Wenzhi flipped through it, and it happened to be three kinds of "Shaoxi Tongyin", "Hai Cangzhiyilu" and "Xianshan Zhiwen Notes" that he gave to Hua Ye. "I gave these to the general, why did you return them?" Liu Wenzhi shook his head. "The general said that these books are too precious. He only dared to say that he borrowed them for a look, but he dared not say that he possessed them. Therefore, no matter what, he owed these books to Prime Minister Liu and had to return them." Feng Hu replied politely, "This time Returning the book also explains one thing."

"What's up?" "Please listen, Prime Minister Liu!" Feng Hu gestured behind him, suddenly showing a proud expression. Liu Wenzhi concentrated, and his expression suddenly changed.He heard the sound of thousands of horseshoes hitting the ground, and the sound came like a sea tide, and soon alarmed all the soldiers in the battalion.The bronze bell for early warning in front of the barracks rang, and the sergeants came out of the tent with their weapons in hand. Some of the sergeants on duty at the front line of defense roared loudly, but they couldn't make out what they were shouting.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and the cavalry would not be more than three miles away from them. "General Hua Ye asked me to tell Liu Xiang that the decisive battle between the two armies will start today, and the sun will rise three poles, so we don't need to meet each other before the battle again!" Feng Hu said awe-inspiringly. Liu Wenzhi took a step back in shock, and sighed, "Finally, I still can't hide!" "Liu Xiang should have known that your country set a trap at Shangyang Pass, and the 10,000 red brigades of Xie Xuan's army went back and forth. This is the juncture of the survival of the coalition forces. General Hua Ye asked me to tell Liu Xiang that General Bai will not die. It is the bottom line for him not to fight!" Feng Hu shouted.

"Does it mean that he and I were finally forced to go to the battlefield?" Liu Wenzhi looked up to the sky with a distressed expression, he suddenly laughed a few times, and waved to Feng Hu, "You can go!" "Aren't you going to make it hard for me?" Feng Hu said proudly. "You are an envoy, and when you leave my military camp, you are the enemy!" Liu Wenzhi's eyes flashed sharply, "You can come here without being afraid of me, why wouldn't I dare to let you go? What's your name? " "Fenghu Cavalry Army, 2nd Brigade and 3rd Battalion, Yuanhe!" Fenghu gave a powerful military salute, and he turned around and ran away.

The entire Red Brigade camp was like a tiger waking up. More and more sergeants lined up wearing red leather armor and holding square-mouthed sabers.Someone led Liu Wenzhi's war horse, and the flag of the Fenghu Cavalry could already be seen, and the dust filled the air, as if it wanted to cover the sky.The front line of defense could not withstand such a sudden attack, and the retreating soldiers had already retreated into the barracks.
