The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

After Zhang Liao surrendered to Zhou Cheng, he quickly understood Zhou Cheng's military system.

The three most elite battalions are the Death Battalion, the Dawn Cavalry, and the Tiger Camp.

Although the Dang Kou Battalion has a tendency to catch up later, the three strongest military horses are still the Death Battalion, Dawn Cavalry, and Huben Battalion.

The death fighting camp under Zhou Cheng's command was the captured army, the army they stayed in before they had any merit in battle.

Now in this death fighting camp, the composition of the army and horses is somewhat chaotic.

For example, Han Fu's army, Yuan Shao's army, Baibo Yellow Turban army, Xiliang army, etc.

It is not easy to manage this 'miscellaneous' force.

Moreover, in the death fighting camp, dragons and snakes are mixed, and there is no shortage of veterans. These veterans have also experienced many battles, and it is difficult to judge whether they are brave or not. However, if you don’t perform meritorious service and you don’t die in battle, at least you know how to save your life.

After all, the death rate in the Death Fight Battalion is the highest, and this is known to the entire army.

Only by beheading three levels of heads can one leave the death fighting camp. For ordinary soldiers, the three levels of heads are still a bit difficult.

Zhang Liao understood that in order for this army to exert its strongest combat power, he must lead them to meritorious deeds and at the same time, make them believe in his commanding ability.

Only if the soldiers trust the general will they entrust their lives to him

……

In mid-1947 AD, Zhang Liao led his army across the river from Jizhou to the south. He divided his 30,000 troops and horses into three parts and quickly attacked Yingchuan.

Yingchuan was the site of the Fourth War and was close to Luoyang. Whether it was Dong Zhuo or the current Li Jue, Guo Si and others, they often sent Xiliang troops and horses to Yingchuan to plunder.

At this time, Wang Fang and Li Meng each led 10,000 troops, and together with Zhang Liao, they advanced in three directions.

There was no owner in Yingchuan. Although there were aristocratic families who organized local warriors to defend the city, when they heard that Zhou Cheng's army was heading south, the aristocratic families quickly fled Yingchuan.

Wherever Zhang Liao, Wang Fang, and Li Meng went, it was like an empty city.

However, at least it will not delay the advance.

At the same time, Wang Fang and Li Meng had ordered their subordinates to plunder Yingchuan.

This time when they went south, their 30,000 troops and horses did not bring much baggage.

It would take time to transport the grain from Jizhou across the river.

Moreover, during the expedition to Yanzhou, the food road was stretched. If the food road was intercepted, the entire army would be in danger.

Zhang Liao didn't like looting, but this was Zhou Cheng's order.

Zhou Cheng does not pay attention to fame in battle, but only pursues victory. He does not compromise on means to ensure victory in battle. This is his first pursuit.

Therefore, obtaining food for the army is also an important task for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao needs to learn to adapt if he wants to integrate into this group.

……

On the official road leading to Lunshi County, a team composed of wealthy families and civilians was speeding forward.

Among this wealthy family is the Tang family.

The current head of the Tang family, Tang Mao, was once the prefect of Kuaiji, but now he is idle at home.

After Yingchuan became the site of the Fourth World War, the wealthy families in Yingchuan were no longer afraid.

Because all the princes did not dare to capture Yingchuan easily, this way, Yingchuan would actually be safe.

However, Zhou Cheng's troops attacked Yingchuan again, which frightened Tang Mao.

Zhou Cheng was a 'thief', a 'moth' known to the whole world, and even sent troops to plunder Luoyang!

Even when Dong Zhuo was still alive, he did not dare to send troops to rob the ministers, but Zhou Cheng did it.

Now, after Zhou Cheng's troops entered Yingchuan and looted everywhere, how could Tang Mao still dare to stay in Yingchuan?

He planned to continue heading south and first go to Xuchang for shelter.

On a carriage in the team, there were two women sitting in the carriage.

One of the women, although her appearance could not be said to be stunning, her temperament was definitely not an ordinary woman.

She is Tang Ji, the concubine of the deposed emperor Hongnong Wang Liu Bian.

After Liu Bian was poisoned, she was sent home.

Although Tang Mao wanted Tang Ji to remarry, Tang Ji would rather die than obey, so Tang Mao had no choice but to follow her.

After all, Tang Ji was once Liu Bian's concubine.

Cough cough...

At this time, Tang Ji made a coughing sound.

Another woman on the carriage hurriedly greeted:"My lord, you are feeling better." She had just taken medicine yesterday, and now she should have taken another dose.

However, Zhou Cheng's army would catch up at any time now, and Tang Hao did not dare to let the team stop.

Tang Ji looked a little sad, shook her head slightly, and said,"Nothing, no need to worry."

At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came from behind, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

At this time, the expressions of each of Tang Family members suddenly changed. They turned their heads and looked into the distance.

I saw a black line on the distant horizon.

Then, the black lines became denser and denser.

It's the cavalry!

In Yingchuan, the only ones with so many cavalry are Zhou Cheng's horses!

Tang Mao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered:"Form a car formation!"

On the official road, it was impossible for their team to outrun the cavalry.

Soon, Tang's tribe and Xiang Yong surrounded the ox cart.

Tang's Buqu and Xiangyong also numbered nearly a thousand people.

They each raised their bows and arrows and raised their spears, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

However, as the cavalry got closer and closer, the jars on the carriage trembled with a thump.
