"Uncle, we're only two miles from Liangshan!"

Huyan Sheng rode his horse from the front of the group to Huyan Zhuo's side and said to him.

"how is the situation?"

"A scout reports that a troop of infantry from Liangshan, bearing the banner of 'Ever Victorious,' has already encamped at the pass."

"Invincible?"

Huyan Zhuo was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "It seems this is the main force of Liangshan. To dare to use this banner, the commander must be no ordinary person!"

"Uncle, shall we continue fighting?"

Hu Yansheng asked.

"Liangshan is our ally, so we can definitely have a friendly spar, but we don't need to go too far. I'll go talk to their commander first."

Huyan Zhuo was just making a show of coming here this time, and Prefect Murong was quite wise this time. Since he was doing Cai Jing a favor, he didn't arrange for a military supervisor or anything like that, so Huyan Zhuo didn't need to worry about anything else.

Soon, the armored cavalry arrived at the Liangshan Pass. Huyan Zhuo immediately saw a general leading his troops guarding the pass.

Moreover, there are barricades and traps in front of the pass.

"Yes, this arrangement is very nice."

Even a seasoned general like Huyan Zhuo was full of admiration for Yuan Lang's arrangements.

"The entire army shall halt."

Huyan Zhuo signaled everyone to stop. After Huyan Tong, who was in charge of the rear guard, caught up, Huyan Zhuo, along with his two nephews, rode out into the fray.

"Is the visitor General Huyan?"

On Liangshan's side, Yuan Lang also noticed the dark mass of armored soldiers from Runing approaching. Good heavens, the sense of oppression was truly formidable. No wonder people say that once the Huyan family's linked cavalry appeared, only the Xu family's hook-and-sickle spear could withstand it.

However, because Xu Ning had joined the Liangshan bandits much earlier in this life, and later talked about his hook-and-sickle spear with the strategists, Liangshan had already had Tang Long prepare the hook-and-sickle spear. So now they were not afraid of Huyan Zhuo's iron-clad linked cavalry. In addition, after becoming allies with the Huyan family, they were even less afraid.

"That's right. Which leader of Liangshan are you?"

Hu Yanzhuo looked at Yuan Lang riding a curly-haired yellow horse in front of him and couldn't help but nod.

This guy is no ordinary person!

"I am Yuan Lang, the Red-Faced Tiger, commander of the ever-victorious infantry regiment of Liangshan."

Yuan Lang clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hu Yanzhuo.

"I am Huyan Zhuo, the General Commander of the Qingzhou Army."

Huyan Zhuo returned the greeting.

"Chief Yuan, I wonder if Liangshan and we are about to have a battle?"

"General Huyan, the Huyan family and Liangshan are allies. My brother said that we will definitely treat you well when you come. Moreover, the strategists sent a message to General Huyan before you arrived. I estimate that you will receive a reply from the old general in a while."

Yuan Lang was not intimidated and spoke frankly.

"However, my elder brother has not yet returned from Gaotang Prefecture, so Commander Huyan, I cannot make decisions regarding the specifics between our two families. But the strategists have said that if Commander Huyan wants to test the waters, I, Yuan Lang, will certainly oblige!"

"As for the chain cavalry under your command, if you want to train them, that's fine too. My Ever-Victorious Legion can serve as your sparring partner."

"You're the only one with your troops? Have you forgotten that the Dengzhou army is also coming?"

Hu Yanzhuo was somewhat surprised. Although they were practically family, Liangshan only had one regiment to hold off two armies? Were they being too arrogant?

“Other brothers are in charge of Dengzhou. My job is to keep you all entertained, Steward.”

Yuan Lang smiled and said, "Chief Steward Huyan, what are your plans?"

"Chief Yuan, we've had a long and tiring journey. If possible, please let my men rest for a bit."

Hu Yanzhuo pondered for a moment, then spoke to Yuan Lang.

"No problem, but Steward, we cannot let you enter the pass today. Please understand. However, your brothers can rest here. We have prepared food and drink for them."

Yuan Lang said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Hu Yanzhuo nodded. As an ally, Liangshan was indeed quite good, even preparing food and drink for themselves.

Think about what kind of junk Murong Yanda gave us when we set off from Qingzhou.

It's true, without comparison, there's no harm done.

"Tong'er, Sheng'er, let the brothers set up camp."

"Yes, uncle!"

Hu Yantong and Hu Yansheng, as Hu Yanzhuo's deputies, immediately went down to carry out the order.

"What's going on? Aren't we going to fight?"

The young soldiers were a little confused. The Liangshan soldiers had already set up their battle formation, so they weren't going to fight?

"Don't ask, just listen to the generals."

The veterans were all grinning from ear to ear. It was so much better not to fight. In this freezing weather, these young guys were really too naive!

"But we weren't ordered to come..."

Some young people don't quite understand.

"By order? Whose order? We are the general's iron cavalry, we only obey the general's orders, whatever the general says goes, understand?"

The veterans immediately shut them down, saying that the Runing Iron Cavalry was directly under Huyan Zhuo's command, and no one else could possibly command them.

Huyan Zhuo's cavalry began to set up camp. After confirming that there were no problems, Yuan Lang also waved towards the pass.

The gate to Liangshan Pass slowly opened, and the Liangshan army pushed out more than a dozen carts.

Before the food was even brought to him, Hu Yanzhuo could already smell its aroma.

"Chief Steward Huyan, please accept these dishes and drinks first. It's freezing cold, and cooking will take a long time. Let the brothers have something hot to eat first."

Although it was Yuan Lang's first time meeting Hu Yanzhuo, he admired Hu Yanzhuo for his well-organized troops and strict discipline.

"We accept the kindness of our Liangshan brothers."

Huyan Zhuo didn't mince words. Indeed, when they went to war, they were tricked by Murong Yanda. Now that Liangshan had offered to provide food and drink for their subordinates, this ally was truly excellent!

"Hey, why is Liangshan sending us food?"

The Iron Knights soldiers, who were setting up camp, were surprised again.

This time, not only the young soldiers were stunned, but even some veterans were taken aback.

No, are we sure we're here to fight?

It doesn't look like it at all!

"Don't just stand there, accept the kindness of our Liangshan brothers."

Huyan Sheng and Huyan Tong loudly called to their men to take over the goods.

Since the commander and deputy commander had both said so, the soldiers did not hesitate, and the dozen or so carts of food were quickly delivered to the soldiers.

"It's really warm!"

"And it smells so good!"

"I can't worry about that now, let's eat!"

In an instant, everyone, including the legendary actor of the Runing Iron Cavalry, turned into a ruthless rice-cooking machine!

The steaming hot food provided by Liangshan and the cold steamed buns provided by Murong Yanda formed a stark contrast at that moment!

Some seasoned veterans, after receiving their food, already sensed what was going on, but they said nothing.

Since you're going to be a soldier no matter where you are, why not go to a place with better conditions?

"Is it really a good idea for us to eat the food of Liangshan?"

Some of the younger soldiers were still hesitant.

“What’s wrong with that? We are the Runing Iron Cavalry, we earn our living through our own abilities, what’s wrong with that?” The veterans did not hesitate and picked up their bowls to eat.

"Fine, let's eat!"

Influenced by the veterans, the young people also put down their heads and started eating!

After all, who would turn down a meal?
