Chapter 537 The Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou Incites
Meanwhile, on the northern battlefield of Da Xuan, the sky was a hazy gray, the wind was biting, and the battle flags fluttered in the wind.
The Yellow Turban Army under Zhu Yuanzhang, which was confronting the Great Xuan Dynasty's army led by Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, and his son Li Shimin and other members of the Li family, was bustling with activity in its camp.
Soldiers bustled about, preparing to welcome the important guests who were about to arrive.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the camp gate, followed by a group of generals including Zhu Sheng and Xu Da, all of whom wore expressions of anticipation and nervousness.
Today, they will receive support from the north—Zhang Liang, representing the Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou, and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.
As a disciple of General Zhang Jiao, Zhu Yuanzhang was both grateful for and wary of the arrival of General Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang's arrival not only represents the recognition and support of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, but may also bring new changes to the Yellow Turban Army that Zhu Yuanzhang is currently in.
"My lord, they've arrived!"
Zhu Sheng pointed to the slowly approaching procession in the distance and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw a troop slowly approaching the camp.
At the front of the procession, a large flag embroidered with the character "Zhang" fluttered in the wind. Under the flag was General Zhang Liang, dressed in a yellow battle robe, looking majestic. Behind him followed the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge—the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Roc, each with a robust physique and extraordinary aura.
"Gentlemen, follow me to welcome General Zhang Liang and the heroes of Lion Camel Ridge!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeve and strode forward to meet him.
When the two armies met, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Liang exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with excitement and determination.
"Haha, Yuanzhang, it's been a long time! How have you been?"
Zhang Liang laughed heartily and strode forward to shake Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
"Uncle-Master, it's so good that you could come!"
"Our Yellow Turban Army is in dire straits; your support is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply moved and held Zhang Liang's hand tightly.
"What are you saying, Yuanzhang? We Yellow Turban Army are one family. Now that you are in trouble, how can I sit idly by?"
Zhang Liang patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
"General, I have long admired your name! I am Zhu Sheng, a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang. Greetings, General!"
Zhu Sheng stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Oh? Zhu Sheng? I've heard of you. You're incredibly intelligent and resourceful, and indeed, you're quite the handsome young man!"
Zhang Liang looked Zhu Sheng up and down and nodded approvingly.
"General, you flatter me. I am merely a strategist under your command, nothing to boast about."
Zhu Sheng smiled modestly.
"Haha, great! Our Yellow Turban Army needs someone like you!"
"These three are my three great generals under the command of the Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou: Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Kong Jin. They are all exceptionally fierce generals!"
Zhang Liang laughed loudly and turned to look at the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge behind him.
"Greetings, three generals!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Sheng, among others, quickly bowed in greeting.
"No need to be so polite. We're here to fight together against the Great Xuan army; we're all brothers!"
"It's a green lion," the man said in a deep, muffled voice.
"Yes, yes! We're brothers, no need to be so polite!"
The white elephant and the golden-winged roc echoed this sentiment.
"Haha, excellent! With your help, what do we Yellow Turbans have to fear in defeating them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, brimming with enthusiasm, waved his arms and exclaimed, "Come, let's go into the camp and talk again!"
The crowd entered the camp, where Zhu Yuanzhang hosted a banquet for Zhang Liang and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the group began to discuss strategies for countering the Great Xuan army.
"Yuanzhang, I have brought 50,000 elite troops with me, and I am willing to serve you."
Zhang Liang raised his cup to Zhu Yuanzhang and said...
"Uncle-Master, your support is a real lifesaver!"
"I was just worried about our lack of troops, but with your arrival, our chances of victory have greatly increased."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Liang with gratitude.
"Not only that, I've also brought three generals from Lion Camel Ridge. Each of them is a formidable fighter, and when they join forces, they possess a powerful combined attack that few in the world can withstand!"
Zhang Liang proudly pointed to the green lion, white elephant, and golden-winged roc beside him.
"That's right, the men of Lion Camel Ridge are all brave and skilled in battle, and they will surely do their part for the Yellow Turban Army!"
The Green Lion patted his chest and assured him.
"Excellent! With your help, my Yellow Turban Army will surely defeat the Great Xuan army in one fell swoop!"
"Come, let us discuss a strategy to defeat the enemy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his arms with boundless enthusiasm.
Everyone nodded in agreement and began a lively discussion.
Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to continue northward to unite with the remnants of the Taiping Cult within the Yellow Turban Army headquarters in the deep mountains of the north, in order to jointly resist the Great Xuan Army. This suggestion was agreed upon by Zhang Liang and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.
"Yuanzhang, your plan is excellent! We will immediately send an envoy to headquarters to have our elder brother dispatch the remnants of the Taiping Cult south to join forces with us."
Zhang Liang said excitedly that the Taiping Sect members at the Yellow Turban headquarters were not of the same mind as the three brothers, so they didn't feel bad about using them.
As night fell, the campfire blazed brightly in the camp, illuminating the resolute faces of the people.
"Uncle-Master, Li Yuanba in the Great Xuan Army is highly skilled in martial arts, practically invincible in the world, and is a great threat to our army."
"Uncle-Master, Li Yuanba in the Great Xuan Army is highly skilled in martial arts, practically invincible in the world, and is a great threat to our army."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, his tone tinged with worry.
"Li Yuanba? I've heard of him; he's certainly a formidable opponent."
"However, has our Yellow Turban Army ever feared any enemy? Yuanzhang, what are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Sheng exchanged a glance, a knowing smile flashing in their eyes.
"What you say is absolutely right, my lord. Li Yuanba is indeed incredibly brave, but our army is not without its own strengths."
"Especially the three generals of Lion Camel Ridge, each of them possesses unique skills and is brave and good at fighting. If the three generals could take the field, they might be able to fight Li Yuanba."
Zhu Sheng coughed lightly and took over the conversation.
"Haha, Mr. Zhu Sheng is right!"
"In this world, the three of us brothers have never feared anyone. So what if it's Li Yuanba?"
"We must have a match with him and see if he is truly invincible!"
Upon hearing this, the Green Lion slammed his hand on the table and stood up, laughing heartily.
"Indeed, when have the men of Lion Camel Ridge ever feared a challenge?"
"Li Yuanba, let's see just what he's capable of!"
The white elephant and the golden-winged roc echoed their sentiments, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.
"These three generals are exceptionally brave, and I, Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally trust them."
"However, Li Yuanba is no ordinary man. The three generals must proceed with caution. Every strike he makes is like a thunderbolt from the sky, and no one can withstand his power."
"This man is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses immense strength. He once single-handedly defeated many of the Yellow Turban army's fiercest generals and was hailed by the Great Xuan army as an invincible war god."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words contained a hint of praise, but he immediately changed the subject.
