Chapter 29 Expedition

Three days passed quickly. In these three days, Liu Qi's order to be appointed as General Zhengnan has spread all over Xiangyang City. No one doubts Liu Qi's literary talent Xiangyang, but it is a little unbelievable that Liu Qi is fighting as a general.

In the early morning of the third day, Liu Qi's house was busy. The whole house was preparing for Liu Qi's expedition. Ma Zhong and Lv Jie waited for Liu Qi's appearance with 300 guards. Gan Ning, Su Fei and Wu Xiong also led Jinfan to wait quietly.

Xu Shu was dressed in a thick green shirt and stood there casually. Ma Liang and Zhao followed him restrainedly. Xu Shu did not show off in the crowd. Even so, he could not hide the light on his body. Ma Zhong and others looked at Xu Shu's eyes from time to time full of admiration. Xu Shu's talent has convinced them in the past three days, and the secret troops in Ma Zhong's hands have also been transferred because of the arrival of Xu Shu, so that he can safely go to war. The scene also made him full of gratitude to Liu Qi and Xu Shu.

Wu Xiong looked at Xu Shu's complex look. He had long persuaded his eldest brother to go to Liu Qi. However, Gan Ning acted cautiously and had never made up his mind. After Xu Shu appeared, Xu Shu's talent far exceeded him. Seeing Liu Qi's power grow little by little, he secretly made up his mind to persuade his eldest brother to make a decision as soon as possible.

Liu Qi in the backyard finally appeased the two women, wearing light armor and a sword at his waist. He came out and looked at Ma Zhong beside him and said, "Are you ready?"

Ma Zhong is now determined to Liu Qi and said respectfully, "Everyone is ready."

Liu Qi nodded and looked at Xu Shu: "What do you think, Brother Yuan Zhi?" Xu Shu shook his head to say that he had no problem. In the past three days, Xu Shu and Liu Qi have had further detailed discussions. They have the same interests and have a tacit understanding between their words.

Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning, and Gan Ning stepped forward and said, "The eight hundred horses are ready. I'm waiting for the eldest son to be dispatched." Although Gan Ning did not really rely on Liu Qi at this time, they really needed military achievements as soon as they came to Xiangyang. When they heard Liu Qi go on an expedition, they followed him.

"Let's go." When Liu Qi saw that everyone was ready, he turned on the horse and went first. Xu Shu followed Liu Qi closely, followed by Ma Zhong, Lu Jie and Gan Ning. A team of more than a thousand people headed for the city gate.

Xiangyang City, outside the South Gate, a sea of people, they are all waiting for Liu Qi to appear. Next to the city gate, all the officials of Xiangyang are concentrated here. The first one was Liu Biao. Surrounded by a flying tiger army in white armor, and a miles away from the gate of Xiangyang City, 20,000 elite soldiers are waiting for it. It is Liu Qi's rebel army this time.

However, the latest attraction is that there are more than a thousand people on an inconspicuous hill not far from them. This thousand people seem to be no different from the ordinary army. Their eyes are extremely calm, and there is no ordinary person who is excited, afraid and panic when they want to go to the battlefield.

It is still white armor and black tiger head, but there is a sharp sword next to the tiger's head. This is the elite Flying Tiger Guard in the Flying Tiger Army.

With the noise of horses' hoofs like drums, Liu Qi and his party appeared at the gate. Looking at the crowd around him, Liu Qi did not stop, but continued to urge the horse to rush to the place where Liu Biao was. Liu Qi pulled the horse rope fifty meters away from Liu Biao and suddenly heard it.

For a while, the horse's hiss continued, but it quickly calmed down. More than a thousand people stopped in front of Liu Biao. Seeing the movements of Liu Qi and his party, there were cheers in the crowd for a while.

Liu Qi jumped off his horse and quickly walked to Liu Biao. "Seeing his father, let him wait for a long time."

Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi in front of him and helped him up with a smile and said, "Haha, that's right. I didn't expect my son to have such a riding skill." Then Liu Biao raised his head and said to the crowd, "Today is the day when my son Liu Qi will go on an expedition. He will lead the warriors of my Jingzhou to fight against the rebellious. Return Jingzhou to stability." After saying that, he took the letter from the people around him and gave it to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi took the letter and was a little excited, "The child must sweep away the rebellion and kill the thieves."

Cai Mao and others also came forward to congratulate him: "I wish General Zhengnan a victory and a triumphant return."

Although he knew that Cai Mao said that these were all lies, in front of so many people, Liu Qi still replied, "I borrowed the good words of the military division."

Then the big and small officials saluted Liu Qi one by one, and the blessings continued, but I didn't know how many of them were sincere.

Liu Qi said goodbye to Liu Biao and walked side by side to the high platform with Xu Shu. Ma Zhong and Lv Jie followed closely with the seal in their hands. As soon as Liu Qi stood down, he heard a person below say loudly, "The last general Cai He and the whole army to see the general."

More than 20,000 people shouted together, "See the general." The shouts shook the sky, and the sound shook the four fields.

As soon as the shout fell, another person shouted, "Flying Tiger Guard, see the general."

"See the general." Although the number of flying tiger guards is small, the momentum is no lower than 20,000, and it is even worse.

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow. The momentum spread out with the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even Ma Zhong and Lv Jie behind Liu Qi changed their faces. He turned his head and looked at Liu Qi, but saw that Liu Qi and Xu Shu looked as usual. Ma Zhong and the two of them restrained their minds and waited for Liu Qi to speak.

Liu Qi looked at the army of 20,000 people below, pulled out the sword on his waist and said, "From today on, you are my deployment. The military order is like a mountain. If you dare not to obey the order, kill! If you meet the enemy, cut it off! Those who miss the fighter plane, cut it!"

Three consecutive chopping words, murderous.

Then the sword waved, with a sound, and the corner of the high platform was abruptly cut down.

The whole army was stunned, and then said loudly, "I will obey the military order." The crowd photographed by the momentum of the army also cheered.

"Let's go." Liu Qi got off the platform, rode on the war horse, and went away with the fast horse at the gate on his back. More than a thousand horses followed him closely, and the Flying Tiger Guard also followed closely. Finally, it was the 20,000 troops led by Cai He.

A man and a woman in the crowd quietly looked at the whole process. The calm and gentle temperament made the people around unconsciously leave space for the two, so the two were not affected by the crowded crowd.

These two people commented on Liu Qi's father and daughter in Jufu Building three days ago. The girl was still dressed in white, but she had an extra sword in her hand, which made her more heroic.

"How about it?" The middle-aged man asked, and a few rays of praise flashed in his eyes.

The girl in white praised: "The first time you go to the battlefield, you can calmly face the momentum of 20,000 people, which is not what ordinary people can do."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The young man beside him is also extraordinary. It's hard to hide his aggressive momentum in a green shirt. It should be okay for Liu Qi to help him."

The woman in white nodded and said nothing. He now knows why Liu Qi was with the young man that day. He thought he would go and ask the young man for help.

In another place in the crowd, Sima Hui and the three looked at the young people around Liu Qi and were speechless for a long time. After Liu Qi walked far away, Sima Hui sighed, "I didn't expect the two of them to come together. It's really unexpected that Liu Qi had the ability to ask Xu Yuanzhi."

Pang Degong nodded and said, "The last time he asked the three of us where several people were going, I thought he just said it casually, but I didn't expect that after a few days, he found one person. It seems that Liu Qi is not simple.

Song Zhongzi also nodded and agreed with Pang Degong's statement.
