"General Hua is the number one figure in the Bingzhou Governor's Office, yet he is so unreasonable!"
Zhang Liao sneered, "Our march outside the Great Wall already shows our lord considerable respect for Governor Dong!"
"General Hua, do you intend to provoke a declaration of war between the two sides? You can't afford to take that responsibility!"
Zhang Liao spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, yet this enraged Hua Xiong:
"You little brat, what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"Go back to your mother's side and drink your milk. Quickly let your commander come out and talk to her!"
Hearing Hua Xiong's insulting words, Zhang Liao was not angry, and said calmly:
"I am the commander here. So what? If you want to fight, we're ready!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Xiong looked around at the group of generals around him and laughed loudly: "Don't be ridiculous. You look to be no more than sixteen years old, yet you dare to boast that you are the commander."
"Could it be that King Liu Wei of the Clouds commands a bunch of greenhorns like you? Haha!"
After he finished speaking, the generals behind Hua Xiong also joined in the mockery!
Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, his face darkened, and he angrily pointed his halberd at Hua Xiong:
"General Hua, I will not hold your insults against you."
"But you dare to mention our lord's name so directly, I will not let you off!"
"I'll give you a chance to apologize, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Seeing this, Hua Xiong continued to laugh wildly: "Come on, come and hit me! I bet you don't dare to start a war with us!"
"Heh, that's not necessarily true! You haven't seen how many people I have, and how many you have. We can wipe you out in a minute!"
Zhang Liao sneered, "If you dare to strike first, I will ensure the annihilation of your entire army!"
Hua Xiong was enraged by Zhang Liao's words: "Arrogant and ignorant fool, then we'll set up our formation and let your grandpa Hua teach you a lesson."
"Fine, then don't blame me for beating you into a pulp!" Zhang Liao replied calmly.
He was prepared that if Hua Xiong dared to fire the first shot, he would bury these three thousand Bingzhou cavalrymen here, making them a meal for wolves and vultures.
When the time comes, just blame it on the Qiang people!
Whether others believe it or not, we believe it!
Wow!
When Hua Xiong heard Zhang Liao mention Hua Ci, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered his troops to launch an attack.
"General, don't be impulsive, we outnumber them!"
"Yes, General, this is outside the Great Wall. If we lose, we'll have nowhere to seek justice!"
"......"
Seeing that the other side had a large number of people, the subordinates were already feeling uneasy.
They thought Hua Xiong brought them here to give the other side a warning, that would be enough.
They never intended to actually fight!
However, Hua Xiong insisted on having the real thing, and his subordinates hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"I won't be able to quell my hatred until I fight him!"
Seeing his subordinates strongly urging him to comply, Hua Xiong also went along with it.
After all, when two armies clash, the outcome is hard to predict!
"General, your martial prowess is unparalleled, and no one can rival you. Why not provoke them into a one-on-one duel?"
"That's right, the two armies can't fight right now, but a one-on-one duel is certainly an option!"
"The enemy is led by a child, so there are probably no brave men in their army. If we challenge them to a duel, they will not dare to fight and will retreat obediently out of fear of our strength."
"This plan is brilliant, it takes everything into account!"
Hua Xiong thought it made sense!
When Dong Zhuo marched into Jinyang, his four generals fought against Lü Bu, but Hua Xiong did not participate in the battle.
Hua Xiong wanted to fight Lü Bu, but unfortunately Ding Yuan took Lü Bu, Zhang Yang and others to Liangzhou to take up their posts, so Hua Xiong did not encounter Lü Bu.
However, Hua Xiong felt that he could defeat Lü Bu.
Therefore, Hua Xiong was quite arrogant and thought he had few rivals in the world!
Now, your subordinates are suggesting a one-on-one fight with the other side—isn't that exactly what you want?
"Kid, do you dare to fight me one-on-one!"
"If you win, you can pass; if you lose, you'd better get back to Shuofang!"
Hua Xiong stroked his beard, looking smug.
He had just carefully examined the enemy's military formation and found that, apart from the man who claimed to be the commander-in-chief, there wasn't a single decent general among them.
So, if anyone is to fight, it has to be this sixteen-year-old kid in front of us?
To become a military commander at such a young age, he must have gotten it through connections and back channels. What kind of ability could he possibly have?
Wouldn't that mean you could just crush him with your little finger?
"General, don't agree to his request!"
"General Zhang, Hua Xiong is Dong Zhuo's number one warrior. I'm afraid only General Xue can rival him!"
"We are ready to fight, even if we die in battle, we have no fear. Our only fear is that if we lose, it will delay Your Highness's important affairs!"
Upon hearing the Bingzhou army clamoring for a one-on-one duel, the captains around Zhang Liao all tried to dissuade them.
Once these soldiers, who were assigned to military units within the system, entered the real world, aside from being 100% loyal to Liu Wei, they were no different from ordinary people.
As long as one is human, one will seek advantage and avoid harm, and one will understand human relationships and social customs.
After being summoned by Liu Wei in Dongsheng and placed under the command of Zhang Liao, they only fought one battle against Zhang Liao at Guluo City.
At that time, it was a battle of overwhelming force where the enemy had the advantage in numbers.
Naturally, they knew very little about Zhang Liao's abilities.
How could a sixteen-year-old boy general defeat Hua Xiong, who was in his prime?
"If we do not agree, then we will have to fight them, which would be disobeying the prince's orders."
"Since they've issued a challenge, then we should accept it!"
Zhang Liao, however, was full of fighting spirit: "We haven't even fought yet, and you're already saying I'll lose?"
"You need not say anything more, just watch from the sidelines."
