midnight.
Lead clouds cover the moon, and ice fog covers the entire Wenshui River.
Lu Li stood on a high place, looking down at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that was crossing the river below.
At this time, the stream was completely frozen. If it weren't for the rapid flow of the water, it would not be blocked by ice floes in the short term. I'm afraid they would have to take a detour again, which would delay them a lot.
"Lord."
Ji Zhong and Pang Chunshi stood aside. The two of them naturally knew about the fight not long ago, and their moods were equally complicated. It was not that they felt that their lord's future would be gloomy if they lost.
You must know that there are only a handful of people in the world who understand the spirit of war at a young age. As long as they practice hard and don't have any accidents along the way, they will definitely become world-famous warriors in the future.
However, what the two of them were worried about was that too much strength was too easy to break. If Lu Li lost his temper and lost his determination to compete in the world, that would be troublesome.
At this time, Lu Li turned around, looked at the entourage in front of him who was hesitant to speak, and said softly:
"What's the matter?"
"..."
When they saw Lu Li's still energetic face and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's standard black armor, the two of them instantly dispelled their doubts, exchanged hands, and said no more.
In fact, after entering the Chinese army camp, Zhang Liao specifically explained to Lu Li alone:
Once you understand the fighting spirit, the upper limit of your strength will be broken. As long as you do not avoid the cold and heat to hone yourself, your strength will continue to grow. Even without using the fighting spirit, you can far exceed your previous level.
This is one of them.
And his ability to defeat him was due to his proficiency in combat skills. He could find several flaws at a glance.
This is the second one.
As for whether you can compete with it once you become proficient in force.
Regarding the question that Lu Li was most concerned about, Zhang Liao smiled and said nothing. He did not answer directly. He just said: Meng Ming, don't underestimate yourself. You have extraordinary talent. As long as you go to the most brutal battlefields on the border to fight a few times and polish your combat skills seriously, From now on, the world can be conquered.
Therefore, Lu Li regained his confidence instantly.
After all, Zhang Liaoxian would never lie to anyone if he had nothing to do.
As for the previous competition, there is no need to dwell on it. Losing to the leader of the five good generals is not something to be ashamed of.
If you win, then you shouldn't.
[In view of the fact that this exam is a mid-term test, the difficulty is hereby increased. All generals will understand the fighting spirit, and counselors can use spells]
[Principal’s comment: The rolling waves pass away in the east, and the waves sweep away the heroes]
You know, this is the scene of midterm exams, and the difficulty level is far higher than before!
The time span is as long as two years!
Lu Li boasted that he was a genius. He understood himself between life and death, escaped from the disaster of death, and killed Pei Yuanshao, who had been a soy sauce in the novel, with one sword.
But he is not so arrogant that he underestimates the world's heroes. It is good to lose. At least he can know how far he is from the top generals.
Fortunately, I didn't go to Luoyang for the distance.
"Those who are strong and brave in the world and feared by the people are those who are both powerful and powerful."
At this moment, Lu Li jumped on the horse and took another look at the foot of the mountain, filled with emotion——
Silently, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had already lined up, like ghosts in the night, all sitting on their horses, waiting patiently for orders.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the troops guarding the capital could not be said to be in disgrace, they were indeed not much stronger. They could not be compared with the Bingzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, the two strongest forces in the world.
The soldiers are like this, and the generals are like this.
At this moment, Ding Yuan, who had not yet taken over as governor, had grown up and had many powerful generals under his command.
Leaving aside Lu Bu, the number one general in the Three Kingdoms, and his newly recognized brother Zhang Liao, Ding Gong still has several powerful generals at his disposal—
Zhang Yang, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Ding Yuan was killed, this man was forced by the situation and temporarily surrendered to Dong Zhuo, but he did not contribute to Dong Zhuo.
After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, this guy directly led his old troops, captured Hanoi, and fought with Li Jue and Guo Si for a long time. He was so brave that later Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou. Lu Bu didn't ask for help immediately. .
Gao Shun, the tiger general who trained Lu Bu to break out of the camp, is now also Ding Yuan's subordinate.
Not only that, Lu Li specifically inquired and found out that Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, among the eight former generals under Lu Bu, were also from the Bingzhou Army, and were currently serving under Ding Yuan.
The good wind uses its power to send me to the blue clouds!
As soon as he thought about this, Lu Li stroked the black-maned horse's neck, beckoning Ji and Pang to follow him, and merged with the A-flow flowing northward. He thought energetically:
The stage in Bingzhou is enough to show off. Wait a year and gather with the heroes in Luoyang!
Since the army was on the side, no one dared to stop them. In addition, Zhang Liao specially ordered that the trip bypass the densely populated county.
Therefore, the small group of Yellow Turban thieves who were investigating the situation in the wilderness saw only dust and snow and sand, and then watched from a distance as this cavalry, which could sweep across Bingzhou, went away.
In fact, if he had to keep foreign enemies out of the country, Ding Yuan, who was ostensibly responsible for annexing the state but actually controlled the entire state, would have already freed up his hands to sweep away these miscellaneous rebels.
The next day, the sky was dim.
Several groups of people came to the official road in Jiuyuan.
The first group had a small number of people, only a dozen riders, all of whom were famous Dawan horses. They were armed with swords and arrows, and their energy was exposed. Looking at their fierce momentum, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to make any mistakes. After identifying the leader, he immediately opened the door and let him go.
As for the second and third groups, there were too many people to enter the city, so they had to find a place to camp and wait for orders.
There happened to be a pavilion outside the city. The director of the pavilion, who was over forty years old, was sitting outside the pavilion handling wild game. After seeing the group of black armored knights, he did not panic. Instead, he walked over with a smile.
Nowadays, Ding Gong, who has great military exploits, is in charge of Jiuyuan. Who dares to commit crimes under the eyes of tigers?
The Xiongnu didn't dare, the Qiang didn't dare, and the Zahu didn't dare, let alone the yellow turban thieves who were mostly rabble-rousers.
"This should be the wolf cavalry that protects the peace of my state. If I guess correctly, Duke Ding will lead his troops to go out and kill all those beasts from the north."
Later, the old pavilion chief recalled the dozens of knights passing by outside the pavilion half an hour ago, and thought to himself: "It's a pity that I didn't pay attention at first. Those were probably the generals who went to pay homage to them."
at the same time.
Lu Li, dressed as a warrior, jumped off the black-maned horse and entered the county government gate with his brother Zhang Liao.
It is said that this is where Ding Biejia temporarily lived.
I saw a group of heavily armored soldiers standing in front of the door holding long swords. Even if Zhang Liao was leading the way, they still needed to report first and get permission before entering.
After entering the government office, the number of patrols increased instead of decreasing, some holding knives or halberds, and you could even see dozens of archers standing on the high wall——
They lined up and marched forward in order, holding the copper-tied iron-backed bows high in their hands, and the dense clusters of arrows glowed coldly in the sun.
These are just on the surface. From the moment he walked in until now, Lu Li could feel at least ten hidden signals.
The tightness of the guard is evident!
