At the end of August.
The autumn harvest of the people of Haihun was still completed.
The internal affairs team led by Qiao Rui began to collect grain taxes in the city.
50 per cent tax, and the exemption of the third tax, this caused a huge commotion among the people.
This benevolent policy had also given them a good impression of the Red Cliff Army, but when faced with the promise of recruiting soldiers, no one responded.
The Liu clan was powerful.
The Red Cliff Army only had 4,000 soldiers.
They didn't want to get involved in the autumn harvest battle.
Even so, Qiao Rui still made an oath and erected the Red Cliff flag on the main road of the city. She also arranged for people to set up tables and grind ink every day, waiting for the young men to join the army.
August 30th.
It was a somber atmosphere inside and outside the Sea Dusk City.
Three thousand soldiers of the Red Cliff Army were preparing for battle outside the city.
The next day.
The sky was still bright.
In the inner hall of the county magistrate's mansion.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao draped pieces of armor over Wang Xiong's body, their eyes flashing with worry and anticipation.
"Alright."
"It's just a mere Yuzhang."
Wang Xiong tied the saber to his waist and reached out to rub Da Qiao's hair. He smiled faintly and said,"You guys stay in the sea."
"Yes."
The two nodded.
"Clang."
Wang Xiong raised his halberd and walked out of the mansion.
"My lord."
"My lord."
Gan Ning, Liao Hua, and the other soldiers shouted.
"Everyone."
"Leave the city."
"Attack the sect!"
Wang Xiong kicked the horse's belly and took the lead.
Two generals and a hundred soldiers followed closely behind with a majestic aura and killing intent.
The Great Dao of Ocean Dusk.
It was filled with darkness.
The houses and shops on both sides of the road were tightly shut.
As the warhorses approached the city gate, a house lit up.
"General."
"You must win."
Suddenly, a young man with a delicate face timidly peeked out of the door and said in a tender and firm voice,""When General wins, I will join the Red Cliff Army.”
"Hulu."
The cavalry stopped and stood up.
Gan Ning, Liao Hua, more than 100 soldiers all responded and stopped.
Wang Xiong turned his head and looked at the timid youth. He said wantonly,"Brat, the Red Cliff Army only needs soldiers above the age of eighteen.”
"Red Cliff will win."
"Red Cliff will win."
Liao Hua and Gan Ning smiled as they shouted.
More than a hundred soldiers cheered with fervent eyes.
In an instant, a shout spread out from outside the city. The 3,000 soldiers in formation responded. The will to win rose into the sky and shook the entire galaxy.
"Giddyup."
Wang Xiong galloped away.
She didn't look back and didn't respond to the shy teenager.
This battle was the crucial battle for the Red Cliff Army to dominate River East.
It was different from attacking Haiying, where there was a path of retreat. If they lost this battle, they would be attacked from three sides by Liu Yao, Huang Zhong, and Huang Zu. Therefore, there was no path of retreat.
"General."
"You must win."
"The Red Cliff Army must win."
The lights lit up, and in an instant, the sea darkened and the Great Dao became a river of fire.
One person, ten people, a hundred people, countless commoners walked out of their houses and looked at the back of the city with anticipation.
Hope, or hope.
The people of the sea have suffered from Liu's clan for a long time.
They all hoped that the Red Cliff Army could defeat the Liu Clan and return Yuzhang to peace.
The army set out.
3,000 soldiers, divided into two horses to the east on the Liaojin.
In this battle, there were no auxiliary soldiers to escort supplies. Each battalion only brought three days of rations. If they won, they could replenish their supplies in Shangliaojin. If they lost, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Sea faint city tower.
Qiao Rui's eyes were as bright as the galaxy.
He had once been forced into the Red Cliff Army.
Now, he was already glad to be able to join such a righteous army. The actions of the people of Haiying City were proof of the morale of the Red Cliff Army.
"The lord has left."
Zhao Yi said in disappointment.
Zhou Jin was the same." It's a pity that I can't join the battle to kill the enemy." He sighed.”
"Red Cliff will win."
"My lord will definitely win."
Qiao Rui smiled and walked toward the main road.
The army set out.
He was the leader of the entire sea.
Therefore, he had to carry out Wang Xiong's decree.
From today onwards, before the army returns, he will be guarding the recruitment office and waiting for the young men to join the army.
Conquering Shangliaojin.
This news was not hidden at all.
The Liu Clan had already received the news.
Thirty miles east of Haiying, Shangliaojin Wubao had already prepared for battle.
"Zong Shuai."
"The Red Cliff Army is already ten li away.”
A sect general stepped onto the arrow tower and reported respectfully.
"Red Cliff Army?"
Zong Shuai Liu Ying's gaze was cold and sharp as he sneered,""They're just a bunch of Yellow Turban remnants. I'm afraid that Wang Zhengnan has already forgotten how I chased his father to Mount Tianyue.”
"Yes."
The generals were extremely respectful.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Wu Huan, commander of the canal, died in Kuaiji.
Wang Meng led his army to retreat to Yuzhang, but he was attacked by the Liu Clan.
That battle was led by Liu Ying Ying, and it was also the reason why the Liu Clan could grow to such an extent.
In the past, the Han Emperor Liu Hong fought against the Yellow Turban Army.
He actually accepted Zhu Rong's suggestion to let the powerful people of each county recruit soldiers to resist the invasion of the Yellow Turban. That was why he created the powerful aristocrats and gave birth to those powerful vassals who divided the world.
