Chapter 43 Dark Whistle
Ji Ying came to the meeting hall holding a three-pointed knife.
When he came to the meeting hall, he took the initiative to hand over the three-pointed knife to the gatekeeper.

"Magistrate Liu, I know you are discussing killing Shouchun,"

"This is also my uncle's last wish. I am here to help you fulfill his last wish."

Liu Xuan's face was filled with joy and he still said calmly,
"I said, no matter whether you go or stay, I will definitely fight back to Shouchun,"

"However, with your help, things should be much easier."

Ji Ying did not answer, but just said,
"I know you are discussing the issue of clearing the hidden sentry. At least at this point, I am still of some use."

"Do you know where the secret sentry is deployed?"

"I have been with my uncle since he was young. I am his most trusted person. When my uncle and the military advisor discussed the placement of secret posts, I was beside him."

"Are you willing to hand over the secret sentry layout plan?"

Ji Ying shook his head,
"The secret sentry layout plan has been handed over to the leading general when the army retreats. I can only go there in person and point out the layout points."

Liu Xuan stood up, walked to Ji Ying's side, and patted Ji Ying's shoulder.

"Okay, then you will serve as an outpost with me and clear out the hidden outposts in front of the army."

He turned to Cheng Hu and said,

"Cheng Hu, reorganize your armaments immediately. Time waits for no one. The army will set off in three days."

. . .

On the martial arts field, two thousand soldiers stood neatly behind Ji Ying with solemn expressions.

Different from the usual sloppiness in the recruit camp, these 2000 people stood together as if they were a disciplined team that had experienced hundreds of battles.

Liu Xuan looked at the team with satisfaction,

"I'm glad that you, like Ji Ying, chose to sincerely help me."

"I can assure you that you will never regret your choice today."

After saying that, he turned around and winked at Zhao Liniang,

Zhao Liniang took the order and distributed a bottle of pills in her hand to two thousand soldiers.

Everyone held the pills in their hands, not knowing what they meant.

Only Ji Ying didn't hesitate and swallowed the pill.
Seeing this, the two thousand soldiers behind him swallowed the pills without hesitation.

The body-tempering pills take effect very quickly.

Everyone clearly felt that the strength of their bodies was increasing.

And some soldiers who were originally injured miraculously found that their injuries completely disappeared.

Ji Ying was born with great strength, and this pill had a particularly obvious effect on him.

As a military general, his desire for power is difficult for others to understand.

After closing his eyes and experiencing the effect of this pill, Ji Ying couldn't hide the joy on his face.
He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said to Liu Xuan:

"Thank you, my lord, for the medicine. I will swear allegiance to my lord to the death."

People behind them all knelt down and clasped their fists.
"I swear allegiance to my lord."

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "Very good, I said, you will never regret it."

These two thousand elite soldiers have been enhanced with body-refining pills, and their combat power has been greatly enhanced.
Liu Xuan established the Benlang Camp with Ji Ying as the chief general.

These five thousand elite troops were Liu Xuan's capital to attack Shouchun.

Three days later, Liu Xuan asked Zhao Liniang to lead five thousand new soldiers to defend the city.
He personally led the main force of [-] men from Tiger Camp and Benlang Camp, and his troops were sent to Shouchun.

Huaiyin is more than three hundred miles away from Shouchun.

Liu Xuan's main force of [-] were all infantry, and only a few generals had horses.
It's not going fast,
After traveling for thirty miles, Ji Yingpai stepped forward and said to Liu Xuande:

"Lord, the first hidden sentinel point is ahead."

Liu Xuan raised his eyes and looked around. Everything was bare except for a river ditch far away.
The summer is hot and the rivers have dried up.

"As I expected, the sentry should be hiding in the ditch."

"Yes, it's easier for the sentinels to hide their bodies in groups of two, but..."

Ji Ying said, looking at Liu Xuan's horse sitting on it, he hesitated to speak.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Although I can point out the location of the secret sentry, how to kill it is a problem," Ji Ying analyzed truthfully,

"The sentries are all military scouts with superb riding skills. Moreover, their mission is to report news and will not fight with us." "With my lord's current riding skills, there is no way we can catch up with them."

Liu Xuan smiled confidently, "Who said I want to compete with them in riding skills?"

As he said that, he patted his horse and rushed towards the ditch.
The secret sentry was only 800 meters away from the official road. Liu Xuan and Ji Ying rushed to within 500 meters.

The sentry in the ditch confirmed that the two men were heading towards them.

He rushed out of the ditch on horseback without even meeting Liu Xuan.

Escape directly to the rear.

However, it took time for the war horses to speed up. By the time they rushed out of the ditch, Liu Xuan had already reached within 400 meters.

Distance is enough.

Liu Xuan reined in his horse, the silent Tong Su in his hand,
A precise arrow shot out without making any sound.

The sentry who was running away in the distance was completely unprepared, so he was hit by an arrow in his vest and fell off his horse.

The remaining sentry heard the sound of his companion falling from his horse,

Just looking back, he slapped his horse and ran wildly.
Unfortunately, Tong Su’s attack range is within 600 meters.

Liu Xuan took aim at the soldier with enough time, and with one arrow, the soldier landed on the ground.

Ji Ying looked on blankly.

The silent bow string, the super long range, and the unmissable archery skills,
No wonder uncle Ji Ling died in Liu Xuan's hands.

This seemingly gentle young man has many tricks up his sleeve.

Ji Ying was a little glad that he chose to follow Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan rode over and took back the two arrows.

"Take the war horse back, what a good thing."

Ji Ying never hesitated again. Every time he approached the hidden sentry point,

So he and Liu Xuan attacked together, killing a total of twenty sentries on the three hundred miles journey.

"My lord, twenty miles ahead is the south gate of Shouchun. There are no hidden sentries ahead, but there are defenders on the city wall. We can't hide no matter what."

Along the way, Ji Ying cooperated with Liu Xuan to kill Yuan Shu's secret sentry. He no longer had any grudge against Liu Xuan and began to sincerely assist Liu Xuan.

"It's only twenty miles away. It can be reached in an hour. Even if Yuan Shu finds out, he won't have time to mobilize his troops."

"Send the order, rest on the spot, and then attack Shouchun in one go."

. . .

At this time, Feishui Crossing in the north of Shouchun City,

The siege has lasted for ten days.
The ferry was filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.
The entire Feishui River from below the Feishui River to the Huai River is red.

There are not many defenders left at the ferry.
More than half of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Lu Bu's coalition forces were also damaged.

But both sides are already furious, and no one can stop.

In the middle of the attacking side is Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun.

The one rushing to the front on the left is Zhang Fei, and the one on the right is Lu Bu.

At this moment, the coalition forces did not hold anything back and sent their strongest force to attack.

The last fortress blocking the ferry is already crumbling,
Finally, it collapsed under Lu Bu's halberd.

There is no obstacle ahead, and Shouchun is thirty miles away.

As the sun sets in the west, a golden sun rises and falls in the blood-colored river.

Everyone had been fighting for many days, and their bodies were already exhausted. Even Lu Bu's hand holding Fang Tian's painted halberd was trembling slightly.

After the coalition forces defeated Feishui Crossing, the armies that had originally merged into one place were divided into three camps with a tacit understanding.

Because everyone knows that from now on, whoever wins Shouchun will get Shouchun.

Moreover, there are no strong enemies ahead, so there is no need to unite forces.

Cao Cao rode forward and said to Liu Bei and Lu Bu:

"It's getting late today, and the soldiers are very tired. How about taking a rest for the night and returning to the army tomorrow?"

Liu Bei and Lu Bu looked at each other,
"Just follow Duke Cao's arrangements."
