In The Three Kingdoms With A System - Chapter.64 Black Horse Army Strikes Out!

Another month had passed since Tianlong was conferred governor of Wuwei for his exploits in this campaign, with it the injured elites and core of the Black Horse Army recovered pushing the 55thousand to 60thousand a force with much force.

Tianlong who stood on the walls had donned his Ancient Horse General Armor over his Azure robe coupled with his flowing light brown hair he emitted the bearing of a Lord after a month as he watched his Army form up getting ready to march.

An hour passed and the Black Horse Army was ready to march, surprisingly the citizens of Wuwei all gathered and sent the army off along with their lord.

After leaving Tianlong and his army started marching north as the enemy gathered a force 120thousand against his fathers 90thousand who came from Dunhuang.

A day passed and Tianlong who traveled through the night arrived just barley from the battle which he could hear.

Tianlong looked at his army which was in high morale as they had undergone fierce body training from Shi Jun and the others and spoke.

Tianlong: Men! Just over this forest, a battle of the century is going on! With this one move, the world shall know of my Black Horse Army and all its might so brothers! Sisters! Slaughter till your heart’s content so we may drink together after this battle!

Soldiers: Uraah!

After Tianlong gave his speech, they traveled through the forest and were on the enemy’s left.

Tianlong: you know the plan! 10thousand on the left and right while the rest to the center!

After saying that Chen Zuren and Fu Chen with their 10thousand rushed out on the enemy flanks while Tianlong and His 40thousand followed behind.

Enemy POV…

General! General! A new army as appeared on our left and they appear to number 60thousand! And two armies bear the flags Chen and Fu while the last seems to be Lu sir!

When Huang Dan who had personally taken to the field heard that he remembered that Lu Bu’s Young tiger of a Son was stationed at Wuwei after defeating his 53thousand garrisons and was said to be recovering.

Huang Dan: the young tiger has recovered and bared its fangs! Good! Let this battle go down in history who shall lose, and win in this one battle! Have Huang Fen rush to the left and have Huang Ji continue his assault don’t mind the flanks!

After Huang Dan said that he saw as the two armies on his left and right punch into the lines while the other army was almost here.

Tianlong saw as Fu Chen and Chen Zuren struck out and spoke, Ferocious Demon Cavalry To me!

Tianlong had rushed out and was at the enemy lines and struck his spear out and he reaped three lives in a second and caused the cavalry behind to be inspired.

Tianlong: onwards! Ha!

Tianlong was a war god as his spear moved swiftly reaping live after live, as his spear left only afterimages…

Soon an hour passed and Tianlong with his spear at the helm led his 40thousand to break through the enemy’s 5th defensive line as his flanks were at the 3rd and 4th lines and this created a bulge going into the enemy army.

From afar at Lu Bu’s camp he saw as his son punched through the enemy line and within just 1 hour created an advantageous situation for them.

Lu Bu: he has finally grown! This son of Lu Bu shall shock China someday! Hahaha! Have Gao Shun start his attack again followed by Zhang Liao put pressure on them! We shall let the Black Horse Army with their momentum seize us this victory!

When Wei Xu and Hou Cheng heard Lu Bu, they smiled as they saw the battle unfold.

Two hours had passed the enemy were on the verge off collapsing Tianlong had Almost arrived before Huang Dan Just 3 more lines before he could slay him.

Tianlong: alright brothers charge! We shall claim Huang Dan’s head in one move! Ha!

Tianlong with his Ferocious Demon Cavalry Who Followed behind and before they could react, they arrived.

Tianlong who had his armor bloodied while his azure robe had bloodstains from the killing and Tianlong’s spear dripped with blood while his white cape blew in the wind.

Tianlong: Huang Dan! Leave your Dog life behind for this young master! Ha!

Huang Dan: guards! Guards! Block him Nooo! Aaah!!

Tianlong: hmph! A general never shows his back!

Tianlong struck out and his spear went through the four guards and seemed to fly after Huang Dan.

Huang Dan: no!

Finally, in just one move Tianlong slew Huang Dan while he looked down upon the enemy with his noble bearing.

Enemy soldiers: no! the lord has fallen! What are we to do?! Hey! Look at him! Such a noble bearing he seems to be ready to kill us!

Enemy Soldier: Young lord spare me! I surrender!

Some soldiers just surrendered as they saw Tianlong about to raise his spear, soon more followed, and the battle of two Paths finally ended with the Lu family swallowing the Huang family.

Tianlong saw their weak morale and stuck again, Soldiers of Huang Dan! Surrender your lord is dead and his brothers shall follow after come serve under this Lu’s family and make yourselves known!

Tianlong’s words carried a grace that seemed to make the enemy soldiers walk over without realizing it.

From afar Lu Bu who saw everything was stunned as he remembered this kind of grace when he visited Emperor Liu before his death and laughed, hahaha! This Lu Bu’s son is surely a blessed king of the future! Hahaha!

After the battle ended Tianlong commanded his army to take the remaining cities of the Huang clan.

After splitting his 60thousand into 30thousand they captured the cities of Jincheng, Tianshui, and Anding.

After Lu Bu’s victory in the north many feats of the battles were spoken by traveling merchants bards and poets from the north tales about Lu Bu’s Tiger son who was the star of the battle from the information received from the poets and merchants spread quickly among the lords.

Xuchang…

What?! That Slave of three names actually produced such a young tiger! We must pay attention to the north slightly if that Lu doesn’t see this Cao in his eyes hmph!

Somewhere around Runan…

What! Hmph! That slave of three names really does go against the heavens even when he should’ve died long ago! Come! Fei and Yu we make for Xiapi!

Luliang…

Hahaha! Seems there’s another tiger out there! Our blades shall cross one day oh Young Tiger of Lu Bu!

All the lords over china had different reactions to Tianlong’s fame some wished for Lu Bu’s death while some were amazed at how a crude barbarous warrior became such a lord in the north.

Wuwei…

After Tianlong with his army set out of Wuwei they had finally returned after two weeks from subduing the bandits in the areas of the new territory of the Lu clan.

Citizens: the lord is back the lord is back! He must’ve come back victorious! Hahaha! Bless our lord!

Guard: open the gates! The lord and his army have returned at last! Open the gates!

Tianlong smiled at how the citizens acted while he picked up a few children as he and his army paraded through Wuwei after their return.

Tianlong had a fierce but noble aura that seemed to cry justice and fairness when he looked at anyone even bandits while he was touring the countryside many bandits turned themselves in while some resisted.

As Tianlong was about to arrive before the city hall, a young woman followed by two older women donning purple, jade, and yellow dresses as they waved towards Tianlong.

As Tianlong saw the three women, he saw they were his mother and in-law while Nanyang Meiyang.

Tianlong caught the running young woman who screamed out, Brother Long!

Tianlong looked at the porcelain jade face with violet eyes who had a slight blush and spoke, hahaha! Mei’er! After not seeing you for four months you’ve become even more beautiful!

When Meiyang heard that she let go before she ran back to her mother as Diao Chan and Nanyang Shi laughed at their daughter/in law.

Tianlong went up to Diao Chan and spoke while giving her a hug, mother! How have you been at Dunhuang? Is father pampering you?When Diao Chan heard her son she pinched his arm before laughing, hahaha! Long’er it seems after not seeing your mother for four months you’ve grown your shamelessness and face!

Tianlong saw as his mother’s ruby eyes gleamed at him before walking back to Meiyang and Nanyang who were walking into the mansion, Meiyang gave a stink face at Tianlong as they walked. After the four entered the mansion they went to the table and spoke while eating.

Nanyang Shi: Long’er, after being on the front so long what have you done?

Tianlong: nothing much mother in law, we built forts while skirmishing with any enemy soldiers crossing and that’s it.

Meiyang squinted her face at Tianlong’s short reply and spoke, Brother! Tell us how you won!

Diao Chan: yea Long’er we haven’t heard the news as we started traveling down after hearing of your conquest of Wuwei.

Tianlong: for Wuwei we broke through two separate armies that formed 54thousand, the first was baited around Fort Wuwei where we decimated their 24thousand before moving on the undefended Wuwei province we encountered my new deputy Chen Zuren leading his army of 30thousand back south from Zhuyin fort and clashed at Xiliang were we fought till we had 11 and 8thousand respectively,

Meiyang: what! Your so fierce brother! You must know a lot about war.

Tianlong: hahaha! That’s right Mei’er! I’m a Once in a lifetime prodigy of warfare!

Tianlong had a boost of confidence from Meiyang’s fawning but returned to normal as the door opened to the dining room.

Maid: my lord, the civil officers along with the guard commander have come to see you!

Tianlong: have them wait in the city hall! I shall be over there I a while they can discuss their ideas before I arrive!

Diao Chan saw her son’s noble aura as he spoke and nodded her head as he was just the same as Bu’er but with both their looks.

Tianlong turned back to his mother and in-law while Meiyang looked sad before nodding her head at him.

Tianlong: mothers! Mei’er I have to end our talk here for now I have matters to attend to you can use any rooms beside mine or anywhere.

After saying that Tianlong left and headed for the city hall.

As Tianlong neared the door, he heard many voices talking.

Voice 1: That’s preposterous! To propose such an idea, I do not accept it!

Voice 2: Well we all have different views and that’s my idea I’m putting down I heard yours and said nothing so wait for the lord to decide!

Voice 3: mm! I agree! We shall wait for the lord to hear of our ideas!

Tianlong hearing the conversation nodded before walking in.

Creek!

The civil officers talking hear the sound of the door opening and saw Tianlong who had started walking to the main chair which remained empty as they sat on mats before the throne-like chair.

Tianlong sat down and looked at the civil officers and guard commander silently before he spoke, Speak, who shall give their idea first?

The first to speak was the officer named Kuai Ming who had told of how the newly established city-guard helped finish the buildings ahead of time and the other officers all have different ideas.

Tianlong: alright then! Kuai Ming tell me your idea first then Gu Ying then Bai Lee!

Kuai Ming: my lord! My idea is for us to invest in building the roads up more while making a new Granary but also expand what we grow

Tianlong nodded at his idea before speaking, Gu Ying go!when Gu Ying heard Tianlong, he was a little nervous and started coughing before he spoke, My lord! Cough! Cough! My idea is to expand the farmland while also building up the spice trade even more from trades with the Nanyang who hold a big influence over it.

When Tianlong heard the mention of Meiyang’s family he gave a smile which they all saw before they heard Tianlong spoke. We need not send a message we shall just ask their young madam personally!

Kuai Ming: does the lord’s family control the nobles of Dunhuang? If so, lord Lu Bu has really changed over these few years!

Tianlong: that would be a feat Kuai Ming co0ntrolling all power under you but one can only dream! We shall go talk to my fiancé!

Gu Ying: cough! Cough! So the lord is the future husband of the Nanyang family young miss! Hahaha!

Tianlong: mm! good guess Gu Ying! Your idea along with Kuai Ming are almost the same but different which is were you two intersect but that shall change! The expansion of the farmland can be started right away while a granary can be built in a month! We shall build up the roads for better transportation and speed while also opening the way for more trade.

When Kuai Ming and Gu Ying heard how Tianlong easily merged the two ideas they spent hours arguing about bowed to Tianlong which he nodded his head to while he looked at Bai Lee.

Tianlong: go Bai Lee you can speak your idea now!

Bai Lee was the youngest of all three but had an aura of a warrior from the battlefield which conflicted with his scholarly aura.

Bai Lee: my lord! As brothers Kuai and Gu worked on agriculture and expansion I propose we use the natural caves around the mountains and down bellow for the production of our weapons to keep them hidden from prying eyes and so on but also invest in making a few small outposts on the borders!

When Tianlong heard Bai Lee, his eyes sparkled as he was looking for places to start his work on making siege weapons and other items such as armor.

Tianlong: Good! good! it seems this young lord has competent subjects! Bai Lee you and Commander Gin can start looking for suitable spots to start making the factories while I also want to expand the guard by 3thousand.
