A large flag was erected on the spot, fluttering in the wind.
Liu Wei glanced at the corner of his eye; it was undoubtedly the northwest wind.
Yuan Shao saw the large banner in the distance and then saw a troop of cavalry waiting for him to come.
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou, you two, hold your troops still. Wait for my order, then flank them from the left and right!"
