(Free RP if anybody in Wu wants to fight me)
*A small farming community on the outskirts of Wu territory bordering Wei. These simple folk growing wheat and what not are attacked by a wandering band of cutthroats, bandits and thugs led by the Wei officer Mortiss.*
1000 Ruffian Twin Swords
180 Militia Twin Swords

((You are fully aware of my armies strength, and the fact that I could encircle you with my 2500+ troops and completely rip you to shreds, correct? Are you sure you want to go through with this "raid"? Whatever, man.
It's your funeral.))
**6 hours ago**
A group of about ten scouts came rushing into the audience hall. Zei Fang had arrived from the banquet, and was sitting on the throne. Zei Fang was at his right.
"M...Master Zhou Tai," he said, panting, "We just arrived from Wei. Some officer unknown to us is mobilizing a minute sized army. They were heading towards Wu."
Zhou Tai looked at the scouts. "You will be commended for your duty, good sir. Rest, drink, eat your fill. Zei Fang, take all cavalry, save for the ruffians. Show this man why he made a grave mistake. Now, scouts, let me show you to your rooms." he said, escorting the scouts themselves to some luxury suites.
Zei Fang rushed towards the barracks. When he arrived, he made his presence known. "ALL MILITIA, vETERAN, AND ELITE CAVALRY ARE TO RIDE TO WEI'S BORDER IMMEDIATELY. WE RIDE HARD AND SWIFT! WE DEFEND THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, AND FIGHT FOR THOSE UNABLE TO FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES! WE ARE WARRIORS OF WU! WE ARE UNSURPASSED! WE SHALL PROVE THIS UNDISPUTED FACT TODAY!" he bellowed as he walked briskly through the barracks. The men were quick to ready, as the rest of the army assisted them like squires into their armor. They were ready in about ten minutes minutes, as all the cavalry men were fairly experienced with getting into their armor, be it through a large amount of training in doing so, or sheer experience. They mounted, grabbed their lances and bows, and were on their way towards the Wu border.
As they rode, Zei Fang was at the head of the pack, raising his troops morale. His cavalry was very confident in their ability. The scouts had informed them that the vast majority of the troops they were to face were poorly armored and poorly armed. about 100 or so looked like they had seen battle before, and only 100 more seemed like they were quality soldiers. Riding together were 500 Elite Cavalry Lancers, 200 Veteran Horce Bowmen, and 610 Militia Horse Lancers. Their skill was superior. Their numbers were superior. Zei Fang smirked to himself as he rode.
Heh. Wei, oh Wei... what have you gotten yourself into now...hm? either you lost a really bad bet, or you are all amazingly stupid. either way...
you're all gonna die...

(This kinda sucks but I aint been given a choice in this matter)
*A messenger from Wei arrived on horseback, he had been dispatched by Cao Cao himself as soon as the lord of Wei had heard that Mortiss with a band of rapists and murderers had set off to raid Wu. Cao desired no war with Wu and the messenger handed Mortiss a note with strict instructions to pull back, under no circumstances would Wei fight Wu. Mortiss was angry at the news and he could not contain himself, he drew his swords and slashed at the messenger lopping off his head.*
"Looks like our party has been cut short boys, we return to Wei"
*There were grumbles and a few of the ruffians refused to obey orders but after Mortiss had sliced a couple of them in half they soon fell into line and the small force withdrew.*
"Dont worry boys, I'll make sure you have your fun once we get back to Xu Chang"
*Leaves for Xu Chang*

Once they arrived to the town, Zei Fang simply looked at a Peasant. The peasant pointed past the border into Wei. Zhou Tai, however, had not stopped riding, so Zei Fang didn't need to ask what to do. He followed Mortiss into Wei.
About 5 minuts of hard riding later, they reach Mortiss' unit in an open plain. Mortiss would be able to hear the thundering hooves behind him, and if he turned back, it would truly be a sight to see.
The leaders of this cavalry were adorned in detailed, intricate armor. Not one peice of their armor was flat or unadorned, with flexible black chain-mail covering the joints. Their armor was a deep crimson with the details of the armor in black. Spikes covered the large shoulder guards as well as the knee-cap guards, and the gauntlets looked like something out of a nightmare. the lances they carried were strapped to their arms, and were void black. A savage looked tiger was on it in bright orange and black, the outline of the beast in white. They were the Elite Tiger Cavalry of Wu, 500 strong.
Behind them were more than 800 more riders, 200 wearing light half-plate armor and carrying bows, the other 610 wearing standard plate-mail and carrying large lances and greatswords on their backs. Zhou Tai rode through the main unit, towards Xu Chang would ride through to the audience hall of Wei to discuss this... 'mistake' with Cao Cao.
Once they arrived at xu Chang, Zei Fang and his cavalry waited until they recieved word from Zhou Tai as how to proceed.

(Well I shouldn't take any losses seeing as though you had not even turned up when I left. If you gathered a force as large as the one you claim then it would take time for them to arrive in which case the much smaller agile unit of mine would be long gone. Unless you want to pursue me into Wei. Are you going into Wei with your army?)

((Hm... well, since I have no intention of pillaging anything... Yes. I will persue Mortiss and his minute raiding party a distance into Wei. you decided to stroll into Wu, so I think I'll go ahead and welcome myself into Wei.))

((I am waiting to settle this with Cao Cao. The two rulers will meet, and we will act like good little officers and wait for orders. If you attack, I will simply retreat, and return with my 3000+ army, not counting what I'll buy to prepare for it.))
