Xiang Cheng thought of Liu Bei's whole scalp tingling, not that Liu Bei had much ability and energy, but that such an enemy made Xiang Cheng, as a modern person, feel a lot of pressure. As for why, Xiang Cheng couldn't say why.

Fortunately, Xiang Ji comforted him twice: "What's so terrible about this Liu Bei?" If you can cut him in front of the battle, it will be much easier to do things later. Xiang Cheng thought about it, what the overlord said did have some truth, and then he cheered up and prepared to set off.

"You said that Guan Yu was really powerful?" Xiang Ji asked again.

Xiang Cheng replied: "That's natural, Second Brother Guan is known as a 'Martial Saint' in later generations and is the embodiment of loyalty, to be honest, I really don't want to go against him." ”

"If you don't do it now, he will go against you in the future, you think it out for yourself." Xiang Ji said again.

Xiang Cheng doesn't know, he can only say that the form is stronger than the person.

chatting with the overlord Xiang Cheng Gan Ning and the two walked on the way to the school, Gan Ning was originally a person who liked to be lively, but he didn't open his mouth along the way. Xiang Cheng couldn't help but be curious: "Why didn't Xingba speak, aren't you afraid that I won't bring troops to you?" ”

Gan Ning sighed and then said, "Hey, I suddenly don't know if it's right for us to revolt." ”

Xiang Cheng was very strange after hearing it, it stands to reason that Gan Ning usually went to the battlefield to launch a madness, which was really terrifying, but now he suddenly had such a sigh and didn't know where it came from: "Why do you say that?" Aren't you tired of fighting? Don't want to go to war anymore? ”

"I'm naturally willing to fight." Gan Ning hurriedly replied: "It's just that the enemy this time makes me not know how to start." ”

"How?" Xiang Cheng asked.

Gan Ning couldn't say why, but after Gan Ning's stumbling description, Xiang Cheng also figured out the problem.

This time the army from Youzhou is an army to resist the foreigners, for Gan Ning, the Han court is the Han court, and this team led by Zou Jing, the captain of the broken army, is the hero of the whole world, it is they who resist the foreigners outside the pass, so that the people of Kyushu are not humiliated by the Hu people's iron horses. So now that he is going to fight against such an army, he is a little exhausted. It can't be said how much Gan Ning has national righteousness, but at least from this point of view, he is at least a person who can distinguish between right and wrong.

Xiang Cheng was also awakened by Gan Ning's words, it turned out that Xiang Cheng was unwilling to be an enemy of such an army, in addition to Second Brother Guan, it may be more because of this. But now this situation is not enough, but it has to be done, and the military order has been received, even if Xiang Chengzai doesn't want to go, he has to go. In desperation, Xiang Cheng comforted Gan Ning a few words, and the two were no longer entangled in this issue.

When he arrived at the school, Xiang Cheng found a soldier and passed Bai Ren to say that the situation was like this, of course, he must have hidden Liu Bei's section.

Bai Ren's thoughts are not much different from Gan Ning's, and he is also full of awe for such a national hero. However, Bai Ren, as Xiang Cheng's strategist, must not mess with Xiang Cheng's mind at this time, and the military order has been received, so he will naturally do his best to assist Xiang Cheng.

"Since General Tiangong has given you 50,000 soldiers, we can bring 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 foot soldiers to support the boundary bridge." Bai Ren continued: "The two of you will lead the cavalry lightly, and it will only take ten days to go at full speed from Wei County to the boundary bridge, and you two can prepare rations for fifteen days. I came with infantry and baggage. ”

Zhang Jiao has been outside this Wei County for more than ten days, and the north is rich in military horses, Jizhou and Qingzhou, and in the past ten days, Zhang Jiao has bought and deceived countless military horses, and there are at least tens of thousands of them. Bai Ren's dispatch of 10,000 is naturally coping with Zhang Jiao, and this 10,000 cavalry is a considerable new force when he arrives at the boundary bridge, and Zhang Jiao will naturally not give it.

Xiang Cheng agreed in one bite: "Okay, just do it, you and Xingba go to order troops, let Gan Zhong go to find a good teacher to count the grain and grass, and we will leave immediately." ”

"When you get to the boundary bridge, don't be reckless." Bai Ren said again: "Our cavalry is not comparable to the cavalry that has been fighting with the Hu people for a long time, try to hold the city checkpoint, and do not fight with them on the plain." ”

"I'll save it." Xiang Cheng replied.

"And ....." Bai Ren said again, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gan Ning: "Why are you so verbose, we naturally know, let's go and light the soldiers." ”

Bai Ren could only smile awkwardly and not speak.

The three of them discussed and dispersed, and after three hours of hard work, the grain and grass and soldiers were lightly finished, and Xiang Cheng and Ganning got on their horses lightly and rushed towards the west with these 10,000 cavalry.

On this way, Xiang Cheng Ganning did not dare to slack off, but fortunately, Jizhou was basically under the control of the Yellow Turban Army, and there was no one or obstruction along the way, whether it was in the city or in the mountains. And these days are in April, which should be the time of spring rain, but the rain has not been seen at all. It can be said that there is nothing smoother than this march, so it only took eight days for Xiang Cheng and the others to reach this boundary bridge, two days earlier than Bai Ren's calculation.

Maybe modern people don't understand what it means to arrive two days early, but Gan Ning, who was born and raised in the late Han Dynasty, does. In these two days, perhaps the battle that was supposed to be lost can be completely reversed because these two days can be completely reversed. Xiang Cheng Ganning's lips were cracked because he was in a hurry, and these cavalrymen also had red eyes, knowing that when they saw the city wall of the boundary bridge, everyone smiled heartily, and everything seemed worth it.

The boundary bridge is more of a level than a city, but this level is a big anomaly. The boundary bridge is surrounded by mountains on both sides and is a cliff, there are only two gates in the east and west, only from this west gate into the city after the east gate can be regarded as stepping into the territory of Jizhou from Youzhou.

Now that the city is planted with the flag of the Yellow Turban Army, this level is bound to be unbroken. Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning seem to have caught up.

"Who is under the city!" A soldier on the city wall with a yellow cloth on his head asked.

"I am the 'Yellow Sky Envoy' Xiang Cheng, this is the 'Yellow Heaven Envoy' Gan Ning, open the city gate quickly!" Xiang Cheng said that as soon as he untied the waist card, several of the 10,000 cavalry came out to throw the waist card on the city wall.

There was a commotion on the walls, and then the gates slowly opened.

There were more than a dozen horsemen coming on, and the leader hurriedly said: "The last general, Deng Mao, wait for our commander to welcome you." "Let's just wait for Gan Ning Xiang Cheng to enter the city.

"Where's your Qu Shuai?" Xiang Cheng asked.

Deng Mao staggered a position and followed behind Xiang Cheng Ganning, and when he heard Xiang Cheng's question, he hurriedly replied: "Our Qu Shuai is resisting the siege of Youzhou soldiers at the west gate. ”

"Then you don't want to take me over quickly!" Gan Ning shouted and urged the horse to run forward, and Xiang Cheng was not far behind.

Deng Mao was stunned and looked at the cavalry running by him, only then did he react, and hurriedly rode his horse and shouted: "Two generals, you are all cavalry, and now the West Gate is guarding the city, but it is inconvenient to go out!" ”

Xiang Cheng said without replying: "Who said that the cavalry can't defend the city?!" Dismount and get off the horse are all infantry! ”
