Now have a cup cake."Jiang Chao bowes with a smile... "I will follow your orders, these dogs of Cheng will taste their own blood." And he left the major camp as he filled his mouth with the cupcake.

*The early morning sun had still not burned away the heavy fog, and so Shi Fei decided that it was the perfect time to move his troops into position. He had them wrap their horses hooves in cloth to muffle their movements. Carrying black banners and wearing their distinctive dress, the men moved out, 1100 strong, to the site of the battlefield that had been carefully chosen to mask their movements and provide suitable cover for an ambush. In a short time, they reached the site of their proposed ambush, known only to Shi Fei himself and Emperor Zhutai, and settled in to wait for the hapless Cheng forces.*

Lu Kai Li rode into the Zhao camp at the head of a large body of horsemen, numbering more than two and a half legions. Hebade them halt near the entrance and made his way to Aspharr's command tent. He dismounted once he arrived, and cleared his throat, hoping the commander would hear him.
Personal Troops: 50 Lancers (Imperial Guard/Armored Cavalry/Glaives/Light Chain Mail) 100 Cavalry (Imperial Guard/Horses/Javelins/Swords/Light Chain Mail) 900 Horsebowmen (Imperial Guard/Horses/Crossbows/Swords/Light Chain Mail) 400 Raiders (Imperial Guard/Horses/Sabers/Light Chain Mail)
Kingdom Troops: 500 Mounted Axemen (Militia/Battle Axes/Armored Cavalry) 500 Cavalry (Militia/Eastern Swords/Armored Cavalry) 600 Horsebows (Militia/Horses/Crossbows)

Aspharr stood at the sound of someing clearing their throat, opening his eyes when he was fully erect (Don't you even think about it). Looking at the man before him, he spoke.
Prefect of Xiang Ping. Good. You bring horses?

Lu marvelled at the size of his new lord's Temple Pike. It was a fearsome weapon, to be sure. He averted his eyes and cleared his throat once more.
"I have brought the Bai Ma cavalry to aid you, sir. Also, I took the liberty of bringing an additional sixteen companies of auxillery cavalry. Oh, and sir..." Lu opened the tent flap and motioned for Myifee to enter, "This gentleman claims to be a friend of yours."
(Sorry, couldn't resist...)

*Just beyond to looks of ones eyes Myifee and his men rose in the distance and just ran towards the camp like they were just full of energy to be used up. They have not been in battle for a while now. Well not a real and true battle just small ones which were just nothing to them but this might just be something different.*
*They all form up with 500 men. Myifee just hopes he gets more men than what he has right now. For some reason he felt that this battle was going to be alt different than the other ones that he has been in. Stopping beside his new friend Lu and now seeing his old friend Aspharr.*
"Well it seems you have grew up a bit Aspharr. Now I am here to help you out with the few men I have."

The plan had been set forward, and all seemed right.. Yet all was wrong. Cheng had already been reported on the plains, the 20 Zhao scouts warning each other and returning quickly to their camp, which had already been preparing. The large forests that once blanketed the land before the camp were gone, as though the plague itself had washed the land dry and cleansed it of all living. The grass had been burned in select places, and it still burned, smoke rising high into the air and blanketing the Zhao camp in several places, neither allowing their enemy a full picture or the Zhao troops themselves. This mattered not though, 10 Hawk units out again and scouting the area as both smoke and fog came into one, singed together in a gigantic melting pot. The sight was most impressive, a Honorable lord upon a horse in Black armour. Hundreds of Black flags upon the camp walls, on the men and randomly placed. Smoke swirling above them all and tearing through the north, blending with a foggy sight. The fog was not too high here though, though on the other side of the field and near the large hill it would be, the Zhao forces had mountain cover. Hay was taken out and placed at certain points in the field, some patches capable of being spotted, others not. The land had been literally raped, its trees missing, killed and kidnapped. They were now within the Zhao camp, and surrounding it. Fortifications had been built upon and large racks of logs stood to the fronts and sides, lines of holes inside them so archers could shoot through them. Horsemen would still be capable of being defended by these fortifications and had their own line of sight through the logs where they could shoot from. Upon the sides it was nothing like this, simply low lying sections. Crossbowmen lined the wooden walls, bending down and looking out the slips closest to the ground, their aim ready and true. In the center of the front wall there was a large open tear in the wall, allowing passage through it. Many trees were cut into spears and placed in the ground here, though horsemen could easily move through these. Several holes were still open in the ground, waiting for their logs to yet again fill them, and to parry the enemy advance. All of the walls were made to last, yet also give when ready. Like the logs near the open 'gate', several logs were struck into the ground and put against the walls, to provide protection though not nearly as menacing as the other, sharper ones. Oil was gathered upon the crossbow and horsemen lines, each ranged unit possessing one single lightly oiled arrow with a small coal upon its tip. More oil was in the rear, waiting to be used up, as it had been gathered for months now, made first to fight off Si, now to fight off all of Jing. "Begin all preparations, this camp is to be made for the defense."With this Shibo, who'd been by his lord side for a while now left yet again and went near a large tent far away from all else. It reeked of feces, and dirty souls. He gave some orders to 10 unarmed militia, who prepared what was inside. 21 large objects appeared behind the brackets, though no one form the outside could see them as they were too far back. They were at the moment cloaked, few actually knowing of what they were. Logs were gathered, chopped into bits and readied for some sort of ammo. 90 Militia were to use the catapults and wield them, all other troops were far from them and guarding the camp, ready to defend all of Zhao. Zhutai was surrounded by his remaining Hawks, his Imperial Troops about the fortifications, their composite bows notched with arrows soaked in oil, a piece of coal upon their tip. Fires were placed about the front lines as the scouts returned. (Yeah, you can't just swoop in and surround me. You'd be moving too far anyways. Plus, I doubt you want to go into the mine field of mine. I'd be able to find you in the distance with the 10 other scouts, so yeah, your little sneak attack won't work when you have thousands of troops.) 400 Grunts (Swords) 100 Ranged Grunts (Swords-Crossbows) 50 Hawks (Swords-Javelin Quivers) 100 Black Swordsmen (Swords-Crossbows-Javelin Quivers-Leather Armour) 190 Crossbowmen (Crossbows) 100 Assualt Horsemen (Crossbows) 350 Grim Reapers (Glaives) 100 Black Horsemen (Spears-Crossbows-Thatch Shields-Chain Mail-Horses) 80 Hells Angels [Berserkers] (Swords-Javelin Quivers-Thatch Shields-Chain Mail-Horses) 40 Elite Guardians [Qiang Merc] (Spears-Crossbows-Thatch Shields-Leather Armour-Javelin Quivers-Chariots) 60 Imperial Rangers [Imperial Guards] (Composite Bows-Scimitars-Embossed Shields-Battle Robes) 200 Imperial Guardsmen [Imperial Guards] (Kataphractoi Cavalry-Pikes-Composite Bows-Battle Robes-Embossed Shields) 100 Imperial Assasins [Marines] (Kataphractoi Cavalry-Pikes-Composite Bows-Battle Robes-Embossed Shields) 200 Imperial Horsemen (Kataphractoi Cavalry-Pikes-Composite Bows-Battle Robes-Embossed Shields) 1 Catapult 60 (Swords-Thatch Shields-Leather Armour) 20 (Crossobows) 600 Milita

*Out on the battlefield, Shi Fei's cavalry troops were finally in position for the attack, not having been sighted or heard by Cheng scouts in the thick fog thanks to the cloth-wrapped hooves of their horses. All was in preparedness, and all that was left was for the signal to be given. Shi Fei sat atop his steed and waited, surveying what little he could see of the battlefield.*

Following Myifee's entrance, Lu coughed softly.
"Sir, if you will, I shall take my leave of you," he interrupted, "What are your orders?"

The army of black sails came from the Northwest,as it was the army of Lu Bu.Recently Lu Bu took ill in Pingyuan after Sun Jian died,as he was a great friend to the warrior.Lu Bu's heart became even colder to this recent betrayal,and of course the bastard served the scum of the earth,Cheng.To Lu Bu,this kingdom of Cheng had no loyalty to anyone or anything,besides ambition.Ambition was a quality to all warriors in the land,and this politician was no warrior.He was a mere pawn of the Han who broke off relations at the right time when Zhao destroyed the weak Han.
Lu Bu knew this politician all too well,even though the two of them never met face to face,but knew of his past records.Yuan Shu was a man of little talent yet with a huge reputation.Yuan Shu,or the politician,was born into a powerful family who have been loyal to the Han for years.Yuan Shu screwed that up by supporting the armies of Zhao over the Han and brought the downfall of the Han.Now the weakling plans to attack the very people he supported against the Han,it shows no honor in him.Lu,was suprised that none of his generals betrayed yet,as he would probably kill them.Yuan Shu was a rich prostitute in other words,as are all other politicians are.After the death of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu,the politcians will be dead.
As of later news,Cao Cao is still alive.Cao Cao was another man like Yuan Shu.A coward who hides behind his lines and makes plans that are never followed out.He was now officially Yuan Shu's head concubine.Meanwhile Zhao Ping met with Lu Bu forces to unite the army of nine hundred men.Lu Bu knew that today was the end of the horrible Cheng.Lu Bu laughed on the way to camp,as he knew that Zhao was going to win,as they had right on their side.Lu Bu was a li away when he heard reports of reinforcements from the Templars.He smiled and knew that Yuan Shu was destined to die this day.
When he arrived to camp,he saw his lord checking on the troops.He let his men enter as he rode in,dismounted,and bowed to his brother.This was the first time they have seen eachother in a long time,since Sun Jian's death.Lu Bu did not look up,kept his head lowered and began to speak.
"Brother,this day I see we have all come to take out these political scums.I heard recently that Lord Yuan Shu plans to ascend to emperor,since Cao Cao was too weak to protect the Han.I would also like to congratuate you brother on destroying the foolish Cao and destroying the Han.Our oath has been fulfilled."
Lu Bu rose his head and smiled to his brother.Finally the three spears of Zhao were together once again.
500 Northern Cavalry (Spears and Horses) 100 Cavalry [Qiang Merc] (Crossbows-thatch shields-chain mail) 100 Cavalry [Qiang Merc] (Spears-thatch shields-chain mail-javelin quivers) 100 Swordsmen [Qiang Merc] (Swords-leather armour) 100 Light Cavalry(horses,thatch shields,swords)

*The army of Kong Suo arrived out of the fog like an avenging angel, armored in black, with a dark red cloak thrown over his shoulders. The standards of Zhao and the White Dragon hung side by side, not stirring at all because there was no wind to stir them with. Suo himself appeared first, followed very closely by his Amazon Guardians. Then came a huge mass of pikemen, followed by swordsmen, and then finally a large group of archers. All wore the colors of Zhao, and all carried themselves with the air of excellence that Suo demanded from his troops. They were victors. They were conquerors. They were death, the destroyers of worlds. Soon, very soon, Cheng would understand that fully. But not now. Now, he had to find the Emperor. Suo was shown into the Emperor's tent, where the smell of cupcakes wafted out to meet him before the curtain over the entrance was even pulled open.*
My lord, I have arrived. I apologize for my tardiness, but Chang An needed to be secured fully. Lord Zhiyun should be arriving within a day or so as well. Where would you have me and my men set up? And where is Shi Fei? I sent him here not two days ago with the cavalry.
