Moreover, He Jin's ship is now both large and stable.

"General Yuan, the three of us will listen to you."

"Alright! Let's go!"

Thirteen hundred infantry and cavalry immediately sprang into action, their thunderous hoofbeats shattering the morning's tranquility.

Early risers along the way quickly made way for them.

......

"We're here! We're here!"

Liu Wei and Yan Shisan mounted their horses, and their speed was naturally extraordinary.

Before long, the Mengjin ferry crossing could be vaguely seen.

Mengjin Ferry is an important passage connecting Luoyang to Hedong.

There is a Ninghetai in front of the ferry crossing.

These are defensive structures built to ensure the unimpeded passage of this ferry crossing.

This platform is 5.5 zhang high, with a pavilion of 3 bays built on top and side rooms built on all four sides.

Outside the platform is a city wall, with a circumference of over 90 zhang and a height of 2.4 zhang. There are multiple gates on each of the four sides of the city wall.

The officials in charge of managing the ferry crossing and the soldiers guarding it all lived on Ninghe Terrace.

Six months ago, Liu Wei crossed the river with an imperial decree to take up his fief in Shuofang, which allowed him to cross the river openly and legitimately.

But today, they are being hunted down by He Jin and Yuan Shao.

To cross the river, we must capture the ferry crossing and enter the river platform.

However, Liu Wei and his companion could also sneak in, but the riverside pavilion doesn't open that early.

Just then, a rider galloped in.

Yan Shisan immediately became alert. When he got closer, he saw that it was the Jinyiwei who had gone to Beiman Mountain to contact Wang Fangyi and Yan Da.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing Liu Wei, the man rushed over, dismounted, and bowed, saying, "Commander Wang and his men have broken through from Beiman Mountain and will arrive in Mengjin soon!"

"Alright, we'll wait here for them to arrive. Once we take this ferry crossing, we'll cross the river together!"

"My lord, there are quite a few troops chasing Commander Wang, and they are all cavalry!" the Imperial Guard said again.

"It's alright!"

Liu Wei smiled faintly, "These pursuers are like clay chickens and earthen dogs!"

"Once Commander Wang and the others arrive, we'll let those pursuers know they've messed with the wrong people!"
