Liao Hua did not wait until noon as he is an infantry He naturally had to go earlier and prepare Liao Hua also did not bring too many people as it would be difficult to hide So, he only took two thousand out of his five thousand e force If the enemy were small in nue in nu for the arrival of the large number of troops behind hiot ready to set out and prepare the ainally, Liu Pi wanted to inform Liu Bei However, he was stopped by Liao Hua If he told Liu Bei, would theto Liu Pi? The neould spread froo and plunder At that time, Liu Pi would not even have soup to drink All he would obtain is the merit of one report Even Liu Pi would be like that What about Liao Hua as sistered So, Liao Hua decisively stopped him
On top of that, they are not sure if this information was true What would they do if it was false infor would be achieved and they would beco becaht for a while and then agreed The ar theeneral In history, he was a registrar under Guan Yu After Guan Yu’s defeat, he faked his death to return to Shu He was then appointed as a governor for Yidu After Liu Bei passed away, he joined the arovernor of Gudu and participated in the Northern Expedition of Shu He is later also proht General of Chariots He was also appointed inspector of the Bing Province After the de and died fro straightforward and was an i the late Han Dynasty
After saying so much, one may still not knoho Liao Hua is However, there are also those that knew of Liao Hua’s reputation That was his reputation as a vanguard On the surface, it as though one isLiao Hua However, it is actually ad Wei led the Northern Expedition, it was during 253 AD At that ti Wei was already about fifty years old At this point in ti Wei This is not because Jiang Wei was not fa Wei was a nobody, his parents would still know his na Wei was not known by anybody was because he had not yet been born Right now, Liao Hua was already around his twenties When Jiang Wei lead the Northern Expedition, Liao Hua would be around over seventy For an old uard, it could only be talent He was an old uard, the position thatwould not dare to say he could do the saht now, Liao Hua was only a military officer under Liu Pi but he was skilled He travelled thirty miles to the location obtained with his soldiers and the army hid quietly These were all Liao Hao’s contributions Now, he only needed to wait for the shi+pment of provisions
Time flew and the sun slowly rose from the east and eventually reached the middle of the sky Noon quickly arrived
“Why are they not here yet?” Liao Hua was in a bit of a hurry He licked his cracked lips and took a drink offered to hiest to the people
“General Could the information be false?” The deputy asked This is because it was alle shadow could be seen If the infor the whole day
“It won’t be wrong!” Liao Hua said that without a foundation “If it was false information, ould the scout hold on until near death before saying it? There was no need to do that” Liao Hua was skilled in obtaining a confession using torture On top of that, the darkness under the la an ordinary person could come up with At the very least, if it was not because of the scout, Liao Hua would not be able to think of such a strategy It was possible that Liu Bei’s Army did not notice the transportation of provisions here This was because Liao Hua himself saw that Liu Bei did not send any troops to monitor the road Everyone believed it was ienerals would have dispatched someone there and would not dispatch anymore soldiers
In fact, when Liao Hua found out not a single scout was dispatched to the roads, he noticed that there was a huge hole When Liao Hua returned, he planned to tell Liu Pi to dispatch scouts This is because it was not only possible for provisions to be delivered but it was also possible for the enemy to attack If the enemy was in front of you and you did not notice, you would be finished All this intuitively told Liao Hua that the infor ordinary people could think of A scout would not have such a level However, he felt anxious as there was noti, his deputy suddenly touched hihts interrupted but then he heard the deputy shout with a pleasant surprise “General Look over there” The deputy shouted as he pointed towards a distance
Looking at the place the deputy had pointed at, Liao Hua forgot his anger Carts appeared one by one and the soldiers wereslowly From Liao Hua’s location, they could tell that the scale was quite big There were a thousand soldiers The carts carrying the provisions were also very slow to illustrate that there were e
“Hahaha” Liao Hua laughed happily He would really benefit when he took the provisions Not only would he obtain ten thousand soldiers He would even be recommended to Liu Bei by Liu Pi Liao Hua had worshi+ped the Peach Brothers for many days and believed that he could be one of theones under Liu Bei, and even replace Liu Pi
On top of that, the scale of the transport was great There were notit while he had five thousand under his co the ambush, the merits would be obtained
“Get ready!” Liao Hua raised his are They passed down the orders one by one
“One thousand paces” Liao Hua estiaht hundred Six hundred One hundred They are here!”
“General Let us go!” Liao Hua’s deputy couldn’t help but want to rush out However, Liao Hua did not order the charge
“Let’s wait!” Liao Hua said to his deputy It was not yet time to rush out If they rush out too early, some of the enemies would be able to escape However, if they ambush from the center, it would become different
“Five, four, three, two, one!” Liao Hua watch a group rush past When the ones in the middle arrived, Liao Hua suddenly lowered his hand and stood up He pulled out the sword on his waist “Brothers This is the tiet promoted and become rich Rush towards theet promoted and earn a fortune!” Liao Hua loudly shouted
“Kill Kill Get promoted Loot them all!” The deputy echoed and all the aood! Enemy attack! Eneeneral shouted when he saw ene out from the forests He also pulled out his weapon and prepared for battle However, if one were to look closely, they would find that the one being plundered did not look panicked Instead, he had a seneral then yelled and ran towards the forest
“Kill Kill them! Steal their provisions!” Everyone was excited Theirthe enemy by surprise
One by one, Liao Hua’s soldiers killed quickly This is because they found out that their opponent was very weak There was no resistance at all Not even from the ones that had died Only a few of their own suffered minor injuries, mostly because they ran into their own companions
Liao Hua was very suroprised and skeptical about the situation He questioned the reason the soldiers immediately withdrew their troops the h they had achieved their objective However, his doubts were soon vanquished because the carriage was loaded with provisions
“General It is all provisions!” The deputy opened up several bags in exciteood as long as it was provisions Liao Hua dis as it was provisions, they would be a difference He believed that it was a possibility that Lujiang could no longer dispatch troops and could only dispatch conscripted laborers
The reason Liao Hua could convince hi was reliable Sun Ce was looking at the Yangtze River,troops, even if it was to save Shou Chun He was afraid the Jiangdong Ar provisions would be useless Liao Hua convinced hi ar these provisions back to the cainally, they were Yellow Turbans They Yellow Turbans murder and plunder Now, they becoe
“Let’s go Take it away!”
“Haha This tiive us ten coins each!” One soldier shouted in excitement
“Look at your interests Only ten coins! Do you knohat this is? It is provisions! It is not just enerals would give us eleven coins!” The soldier looking down on his friend only added one coin
“With so much money here, I only need to wait until the end of the war Once I have another twenty coins, I can go and ht as he drooled
“Future prospects! This one will take responsibility You do not need to wait until the end of the war I will give you twenty coins once we go back so that you can marry Xiao Cui!” Everyone became happy as Liao Hua said these words Now that he had provisions, he could obtain Liu Pi’s recommendation and his career would soar Naturally, he would be happy So, he also joined in with his soldiers
Just as Liao Hua’s soldiers was about to pull the carriage away, there was a tragic cry froood! Cavalries appeared in front!”
The ground shook before Liao Hua could ask “Cavalry? Where are they from?”
Cavalry troops then appeared in front of Liao Hua They were small in size and were only two hundred in number However, Liao Hua saw that they were heavily armored They carried a red banner with the character Zhao This was a heavy cavalry Liao Hua did not dare to underestimate these cavalry soldiers It was not a problem if it was only one or two However, two hundred heavy cavalry was enough to run over lightly armored soldiers ten times their number
