章 129: The Gathering of the Iron Troops

It was in front of the Palace of Hua-Yang.

The 16 generals who worked as greeters saluted at the same time and shouted in chorus, "Thank you, General Ye! Thank you, the northern army! Thank you, brothers! Please come in!"

The five generals of the northern army stepped forward with big strides towards the 16 greeting generals. Both side reached their hands to gently bump on each others' fists. They were all expressionless though.

And then the five general passed through the 16 generals and stood behind them. They joined the greeting team to greet the incoming guests together.

The fifty soldiers who had been following the five generals lined up in two lines. - Shoo! - They marched to the location beside the greeting soldiers of the Palace of Hua-Yang.

So, there were 55 five men joining the initial greeting team.
