Looking forward in the direction pointed by his own soldiers, Liu Wei really saw a group of cavalry coming in front of him.

The cavalry that greeted them at a gallop was dressed in black armor, and there were as many as a thousand of them, and from a distance, it was like a dark cloud like thick ink, rolling up.

The hooves of more than a thousand horses trampled on the ground, and the deep grass could not stop the smoke and dust that was raised, and a smoke curtain rolled and gushed, as if a huge net of fine dust had been opened behind the cavalry.

When the cavalry reached a place thirty or forty paces away from Liu Wei and the others, the leading officer raised his arm to stop the knights galloping on horseback, and he and several other officers turned over and jumped off their horses and ran quickly towards Liu Wei and the others.

"The Hedong Army greets His Highness!" Running to Liu Bian's approach, several officers knelt on the ground in unison, and the leading officer clenched his fists and bowed his head to Liu Bian: "I heard that His Royal Highness came to review, and the last general will come to greet him!" ”

"Get up!" Raising his hand towards the officers, Liu Wei looked up at the more than 1,000 cavalrymen standing thirty or forty paces away, shook the reins, and rode towards the cavalrymen.

The cavalry of the Hedong Army standing in front of the queue was wearing pure black armor, although the queue was not as neat as the queue of Liu Bianjun's cavalry, but it was also decent, and it was very similar to the posture of the regular army.

Riding a horse and walking back and forth in front of this group of cavalry twice, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand at the cavalry, and shouted to them: "The soldiers are mighty!" ”

"Your Highness is mighty!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, more than a thousand cavalrymen held their heads high and responded in unison.

When shouting, the voice of each cavalryman was very loud, and his spirit was much better than that of the Hedong army that Liu Wei had met on the bank of the Lianshui before.

At the beginning, the Hedong Army led by Wang Yi was the most elite soldiers and horses in the entire Hedong, and the reason why Liu Wei felt that they were not as energetic as the cavalry in front of him was because on the first day when the two armies met, Liu Bianjun gave them a blow that was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

An army that has suffered a heavy blow, even if it is a mighty division that has won a hundred battles, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for them to show their spirit, not to mention that even if the Hedong Army is the most elite main force, it is by no means the kind of mighty and heroic division that will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"Your Highness returns to camp!" As soon as the cavalrymen's shouts fell, the leading officer shouted to them: "Soldiers and guards with you!" ”

More than 1,000 cavalrymen got the order, divided into two columns, sandwiched Liu Wei and Zhao Yun and others in the middle, and surrounded them and slowly marched towards the large camp where the Hedong Army was stationed.

The closer you get to the camp where the Hedong Army is stationed, the clearer you can see the battle flags that are hunting and flying in the wind. Liu Wei clearly saw that on the ink-colored flag scrolling in the wind, there was a golden seal "Han" embroidered.

The black flag, the golden "Han" character, this is exactly the battle flag of Liu Bianjun!

Since ordering people to sew the first battle flag in Woniu Mountain, Liu Wei chose to use black as the base and gold as the word. The black was heavy, with a heavy sense of oppression, which made him feel at all times that he was surrounded by enemies who wanted to take his life; And gold symbolizes the sun, and in the thick black curtain, it can guide him in the direction of progress.

As the battles unfolded, the black battle flag and red armor had already become the unique symbol of Liu Bianjun! Every time there is a war, the army ranks up in a phalanx, and the black-like battle flag flutters in the wind in a sea of red, which can set off the might and courage of Liu Weijun's soldiers.

The battle flag of the Xiliang Army is also embroidered with the word "Han" on the flag on a black background, but the seal characters on the battle flag of the Xiliang Army are not golden characters like Liu Bianjun's banner, but pure white characters.

Leading Zhao Yun and his own soldiers, Liu Wei slowly walked into the barrage built by the Hedong Army surrounded by a team of more than 1,000 Hedong cavalry.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw that tens of thousands of Hedong troops wearing jet-black armor were already in a neat formation in the open space in the camp, waiting for his review.

Liu Wei led a team of personal soldiers wearing red armor into the fortress, and all the soldiers of the Hedong Army turned their faces to him, and looked at the young Hongnong King who defeated the main force of the Hedong Army in one fell swoop on the bank of the Lianshui River.

Knowing that Liu Wei was going to inspect the army, every Hedong officer and soldier present thought that he would come with a large group of men and horses, but what they didn't expect was that when Liu Wei came to the camp, they didn't see the thousands of troops and horses guarding King Hongnong in their imagination, and only Liu Wei and Zhao Yun in silver armor and white robes and more than 100 accompanying soldiers appeared in front of them.

In front of the array of officers and soldiers in Hedong, a high platform that has just been completed has been built. The entire platform is made of wood and covered with thick planks. The planks are spliced very closely, and between the two adjacent pieces of wood, there is almost no real gap.

Surrounded by Zhao Yun and several officers of the Hedong Army, Liu Wei ascended the high platform, holding the long sword at his waist in one hand, standing at the forefront of the high platform, his eyes on the faces of the Hedong officers and soldiers in the phalanx.

Zhao Yun pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand, and waved his other hand towards the soldiers who followed Liu Wei. More than 100 pro-soldiers quickly dispersed, stood on the periphery of the high platform, and surrounded the high platform.

"I remember someone once said that I, Liu Bian, was destined to only take in the Liukou!" His eyes roamed back and forth on the faces of tens of thousands of Hedong officers and soldiers, Liu Wei raised his voice and shouted to them: "From today onwards, if anyone says this about me again, I will slap them with a big ear scraper!" ”

Tens of thousands of Hedong officers and soldiers looked up one by one, looking at Liu Wei intently, and many of them didn't even understand what he meant by saying this.

"If you are willing to follow this king, this king will have one more mighty army!" With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei said to the officers and soldiers in Hedong: "If anyone dares to say that you and others are also rogues, this king will definitely open his bow left and right, and his face will be as round as an ass!" ”

After Liu Wei finished speaking, many of the tens of thousands of Hedong officers and soldiers standing in the open space laughed "hehe".

"At the beginning of Bishan, this king led a hundred Yellow Turban troops and defeated hundreds of Xiliang troops!" Hearing the laughter coming from the Hedong Army array, Liu Wei removed his hand holding the long sword, crossed his hands on his waist, and said to the officers and soldiers of Hedong: "This matter became more and more mysterious later, and it was even rumored that the king only brought more than 100 people, and he beat tens of thousands of Xiliang troops to the ground!" ”

When Liu Wei entered the barracks, the spirits of the officers and men were still a little nervous. After all, a month ago, these people were still in a hostile relationship with the King Hongnong in front of them wearing gold armor.

Originally, they thought that as soon as Liu Wei ascended to the high platform, he would recruit them straight to the point. What all the officers and soldiers in Hedong did not expect was that Liu Wei ascended to the high platform, and the first thing he said was not to solicit them, but to talk to them about his original experience as if he had nothing to do.

"Since escaping from Luoyang with Tang Ji that day, this king has also experienced more than a dozen battles!" Looking at the Hedong Army, which was relatively neat in the queue of 50,000 and the clothes and armor were also very bright, Liu Wei had a satisfied smile on his face, and said to them: "You don't know what to do, I gathered soldiers and horses in Hugao Pass, and I recruited soldiers in Dayang and Yucheng, and the soldiers I recruited were wearing tattered clothes and armor, like refugees fleeing from the famine!" How can you wait for such a glamorous armor today! It's no wonder that they are laughed at by some outsiders as being born as rogues! ”

Having said this, Liu Wei sighed lightly, and asked the Hedong officers and soldiers present with a slightly sentimental expression: "But do you know why this king can have this army with bright armor and well-equipped now?" ”

"Your Highness is well commanded!" Soon after Liu Wei's words fell, a shout that was almost a sycophant came from the Hedong Army's large array.

Hearing this shout, Liu Wei shook his head with a smile, and said to all the Hedong officers and soldiers present: "Many people say that the soldiers under the command of this king are from Liukou. There are even many people who look down on them and don't treat them as human beings at all! But this king thinks that they are the best brothers in the world! If it weren't for them, this king would not know where to bury his bones at this moment, and he would have become an ownerless and lonely soul in the wilderness! ”

Most of the soldiers who followed Liu Wei into the camp were from yellow turbans, and when they heard Liu Wei say such words, their eye sockets were full of tears, and they were a little choked with emotion.

"I said a word to my brothers at the beginning, follow me Liu Bian, that is, the brother I can get along with with my life! I have a bite to eat, and my brothers have a bite to eat! Looking directly at the Hedong officers and soldiers in front of him, the muscles of Liu Wei's face twitched violently, and he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, treat this king wholeheartedly, and this king also secretly swears in his heart that if there is anyone in the world who dares to look down on this king's brother and persecute my brother and their relatives, this king will cut off the heads of those people and let them know that the red armor of the army is dyed red with the blood of the enemy!" ”

The camp of 50,000 troops fell into a deathly silence when Liu Wei said this.

All the officers and soldiers in Hedong all looked up at Liu Wei on the high platform, and their eyes showed panic and apprehension that could not be concealed.

They were Liu Bian's enemies and confronted Liu Bianjun. Although they didn't really fight with Liu Weijun, and their hands were not stained with Liu Weijun's blood, they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts after all.

"You are now willing to join the king's camp!" Seeing a little panic on the faces of the officers and soldiers in Hedong, Liu Wei raised a hand, drew a half circle in the void, and shouted to the officers and soldiers in Hedong: "If you join the camp of this king, you are the brother of this king!" In two days, someone will issue new armor and blades according to the characteristics of you and others, and transfer them to each battalion, hoping that the brothers will enter the new military camp and be able to live in harmony with more brothers, and in the future, on the battlefield, rely on each other and survive a hundred battles! ”

"Your Highness is mighty!" As soon as Liu Wei's words were shouted, all the officers and soldiers in Hedong breathed a sigh of relief, and I don't know which corner someone raised his sword first and shouted, and then 50,000 people shouted in unison, and the entire military camp trembled slightly in the shouting.
