Chapter 687: Tangyiji vs. Chisha Shi (1)

--------------

Guo Jia shook his head.

"It's not a banner of Han Wudi, but a banner bestowed by Han Wudi. The yellow dragon symbolizes the Son of Heaven, and since the yellow dragon is clutching a bundle of arrows, it probably signifies the Chisha Shi."

"Chisha Shi... "

Lü Bu tilted his head.

Guo Jia had already mentioned that the Chisha Shi could be deployed. However, Lü Bu thought Guo Jia's prediction was wrong.

"Does it seem like my prediction is incorrect?"

"We already know that the Chisha Shi is one of Huang Boshun's main forces. But it doesn't make sense to me to use elite troops as mere supply guards."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Lü Bu had no choice but to nod. Guo Jia then provoked Lü Bu.

"Surely our army's strongest unit, the Tangyiji, can defeat the Chisha Shi?"

"Even the
