Liu Bei joined Lu Bu's command, and also brought Jingzhou to the avatar, Lu Bu took Liu Bei's documents, looked at the things on Liu Bei's documents, and felt very good, now Lu Bu's territory from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, it can be said that it has expanded a lot.

At present, Yuan Shu's influence in the north is getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Bu thinks that Yuan Shu should not come to deal with him.

Then only a month passed, and Yuan Shu issued a note, saying that although Yuan Shao and he were brothers, they were only superficial brothers, so Yuan Shu decided to crusade against Yuan Shao, and no one knew how this battle would end, only that the two of them decided to fight in the place of Julu.

This battle can be said to be very important, so before the battle, you have to go through long-term preparations.

Yuan Shu held a pre-war meeting, and Yuan Shu said, "Generals and strategists, do you have any ideas?"

One of Yuan Shu's generals named Li Si said: "My lord, our current situation is very good, although Yuan Shao is about the same size as the territory we occupy, but Yuan Shao's troops are not as good as ours, at present Yuan Shao has almost 150,000 soldiers in his hands, and we have 200,000 soldiers in his hands, in terms of troops, of course, we occupy an absolute advantage." “

Another general is called Li Feiyun, Li Feiyun said: "My lord, how can you just compare the number of troops? Fighting a war is not a child's game, we must do the overall consideration of all aspects, the so-called strength is just a not very important thing, in addition to the strength of troops, but also to consider whether it is elite, and then cavalry or infantry, in addition to these factors, there are also the factors of generals, in short, there are really too many things to consider, not simply comparing the strength of troops can say that we have an advantage." “

Yuan Shu said: "That's right, in that case, who wants to lead troops to fight against Yuan Shao?"

At this time, a general named Zhang Qiang stood up and said, "My subordinates are willing to go." “

Zhang Qiang is good at using spears, and his equestrian skills are also very good, and then Zhang Qiang's combat power is about seventy points, which belongs to the middle and upper level among Yuan Shu's soldiers, and the level is very good, although it is not the top one, but let Zhang Qiang try it to see if he can test Yuan Shao's depth, which is also a very shrewd choice.

Thinking so in his heart, Yuan Shu said: "Since this is the case, then Zhang Qiang, you can go, I will give you 30,000 people, you test it, see how strong Yuan Shao is, and I will take the army to meet you." “

"Okay, I won't be dishonored!" Zhang Qiang said.

Then Zhang Qiang received the military documents, and then he was leaving.

Before leaving, the strategist Xu Mou found Zhang Qiang and said to him: "General Zhang is going, you must be careful of a person named Wang Li." “

"Wang Li?" Zhang Qiang showed a curious expression, who is Wang Li, he has never heard of it.

Xu Mou said: "You may not have heard of Wang Li, but you must have heard of Lu Bu, this Wang Li is the same person as Lu Bu, his martial arts are very high, the combat power value is almost 80 points or even higher, you are not his opponent, and even this Wang Li only needs one move to kill you, so once you see Wang Li, you must remember not to fight him alone, otherwise you will inevitably be killed by him, and you will have to involve the 30,000 soldiers brought by the lord." “

Zhang Qiang said a little disbelievingly: "That Wang Li is just a nobody, is it really as powerful as you say?"

Xu Mou said: "General Zhang, don't ignore some potential dangers, any neglect of potential dangers is irresponsible for the safety of your own life, so you must take it seriously, don't take my warning to heart, I am thinking about the great affairs of the Lord, as for your safety, sorry, it is not within the scope of my consideration." “

Zhang Qiang's face couldn't help but become a little ugly, what is your comfort that is not within the scope of your consideration? Isn't I, Zhang Qiang, nothing in the eyes of your Xu Mou?

Zhang Qiang's face was finally very ugly and then left, on the way to order troops, Zhang Qiang saw a general who had a good relationship with him, this general was called Lin Meng, Lin Meng saw Zhang Qiang's ugly face and said: "Brother Qiang, what's wrong? Didn't you ask the lord for a task in high spirits before? Why do you look unhappy now?"

Zhang Qiang said: "Brother Meng doesn't know, I was in a good mood, but unfortunately I met Xu Mou, Xu Mou told me to be careful of a person, and said that I and that person can't get over a move to be killed, you say that the angry person is not angry, in our army, I participated in several school competitions, and in the end they were the top three, my martial arts can be ranked in the top 30 in the world, how can I say that I can't even beat an unknown young general on the other side? I am really speechless in my heart, do you think I should go to the lord to tell Xu Mou?"

Lin Meng said: "Brother Qiang, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and the heart of harming others is also indispensable. No matter what Xu Mou said, Brother Qiang should not take it to heart, the unknown young general, why should Brother Qiang take him to heart, but it made him feel very unhappy in his heart. “

Hearing Lin Meng say this, Zhang Qiang finally felt a little comforted, and now he decided not to take that person to heart, and decided to put Xu Mou's warning in the back of his mind, because Zhang Qiang felt that Xu Mou's suggestion was an insult to himself.

After Zhang Qiang decided, he went to the place where he ordered the soldiers, he ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses, in this era, the soldiers are not inherent in a general, the soldiers who train the soldiers and use the soldiers are not the same person, the soldiers are usually trained in the barracks, and only follow the generals to fight when there is a war, so the soldiers of this era are not very loyal to the generals, and the people who flee once defeated will account for a large part.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang came to the barracks, found the training officer, and asked for 30,000 soldiers, and after checking Zhang Qiang's military orders and official seals, the training officer asked Zhang Qiang what kind of soldiers he needed.

There is no corruption in the barracks in this era, Zhang Qiang decided to choose 30,000 of the most elite soldiers, the elite soldiers are veterans who have experienced several battles, only such veterans have combat effectiveness, those recruits are very weak in combat effectiveness, what 500 recruits defeated 30,000 Yellow Turban Army, such a thing does not exist in this world.

The combat effectiveness of the recruits is not strong, this is a matter of no way, so of course Zhang Qiang is reluctant to ask for recruits, and directly proposes to be elite.

The logistics officer decided to hand over the best 30,000 elites to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang received 30,000 elites, looking at these quiet soldiers, Zhang Qiang could feel the power of these 30,000 elites, these 30,000 elites are very powerful, and they can definitely be compared to 100,000 ordinary soldiers.

Zhang Qiang decided to give a lecture to the 30,000 soldiers, and then Zhang Qiang walked to the high platform in front of the 30,000 soldiers and said: "Everyone, my name is Zhang Qiang, many of you should have heard my name, know that I am good at using a spear, my spear, has always been fair and strict, those soldiers who work hard to fight, do not care for themselves, give them rewards, those who are bent on escaping, do not fight well, and fight passively, my spear will completely destroy them." “

After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, the soldiers were silent and silent, so Zhang Qiang continued: "Next, I want to select your 30,000 soldiers' centurions, thousands, partial generals and a few others. “

Hearing Zhang Qiang say that the selection of people is only based on the level of martial arts, some soldiers with high martial arts have felt the emergence of opportunities, for them, to be a centurion, a thousand, or a general, is definitely a very good job, such a job, leading a lot of people, although the responsibility is great, but the response to the treatment is also high, the salary becomes higher, people will live very comfortable, so this official, is still very attractive.

The soldiers were about to move, and Zhang Qiang saw that no one had taken the initiative to come up first, so he said: "Every soldier who succeeds in becoming an official will directly advance a month's salary and give him a half-day vacation." “

Hearing Zhang Qiang say this, the soldiers who originally felt that they didn't want to come out ran up directly at this moment, there were dozens of people, and all of them rushed up, Zhang Qiang didn't say anything about so many people He felt that he couldn't accept it, but said: "You guys finally came up, I thought you didn't want to come up." “

The soldiers were blushing by Zhang Qiang's words, and they had no choice but to smile when they looked at Zhang Qiang, and then the soldiers looked at Zhang Qiang and felt a little helpless in their hearts, feeling that such a general really understood them too well.

Zhang Qiang continued: "Okay, we will start the selection of centurions in the first round, and all the selected people can become our centurions, and after becoming centurions, they can also become centurions or partial generals, we will set up a total of three partial generals, thirty centurions, and three hundred centurions, and now there are so many vacancies in the position of centurions, don't you all want to be officials?"

Hearing Zhang Qiang say this, the soldiers all felt a little moved, and finally someone walked out directly, and then went up to the stage, there were already many soldiers on the stage, and now more soldiers came up, and soon the number of soldiers on the stage exceeded a hundred, it seemed that they were attracted, more soldiers walked towards the stage, those who knew a little bit of martial arts, or thought that they were good at martial arts, were all walking towards the stage.

In the end, a total of 1,000 soldiers came up to the stage, and these 1,000 soldiers looked at each other, and seemed to feel threat and hostility from each other's bodies, this was the first time they faced so many competitors, although they were only competing for 300 positions, but these 300 positions were not something that could be competed for casually.

Although it is such competition, Zhang Qiang feels that these soldiers have to go through competition to become strong, and life without competition must be bad and hopeless, so the only hope is more competition, and stronger competition will cause the sublimation and transformation of these soldiers in essence.

Zhang Qiang said: " Now there are a total of 1,000 people who want to compete for the position of centurion, so I thought of a way, we will first conduct the first round of elimination, everyone can get a token, and then you will be put into the school field to fight, in the battle can not kill, can not cause physical disabilities, you have to start the decisive battle in the shortest time, the first person to grab three tokens can win, become the promoter, you can take the token directly out of the exit, directly get the qualification for the promotion, wait until 300 people go out from the exit, and the last remaining people are the eliminated people, that is to say, there will be more than 600 people eliminated, so you start to prepare。 “

Then Zhang Qiang asked the herald to fetch a large number of wooden tokens, which were the badges of the soldiers who had been eliminated before, and they were used to do such a game, which was also very meaningful.

Zhang Qiang asked a few soldiers to take the token and began to distribute tokens to a thousand soldiers who participated in the knockout round, each soldier needs to hang it around his neck after getting the token tied to the red rope, and the opponent is trying to take it away, a failure does not mean the final failure, as long as you can finally get three tokens, it is considered a success.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang sent the tokens, and after half an hour, all the tokens were sent down.

Then Zhang Qiang said: "The soldiers who hang the tokens have begun to accumulate admissions. “

Then Zhang Qiang opened the door of the school field and let the soldiers start to enter the school field.

As the soldiers entered the school field one by one, and then Zhang Qiang did it on the high platform, the soldiers were not allowed to rob for the time being, and they did not really start the snatching game until all the people entered the school field.

The soldiers walked into the school field, as they walked into the school field one by one, in addition to Zhang Qiang, there were other people who came to see the excitement, what made people feel excited was that Yuan Shu, who was the real lord of the three armies, actually came over, Yuan Shu said: "General Zhang Qiang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Qiang said: "My lord, in order to elect the centurion soldiers who are really qualified to serve as my 30,000 soldiers in the three armies, I decided to hold a game, I asked each of them to hold a wooden card, and then enter a closed school field to play a game, whoever gets the three wooden cards first can be promoted to the next stage and get the position of centurion." “

"Oh," Yuan Shu said with an interested expression, "It's fun." “

Zhang Qiang said: "Does the lord think it's fun?"

Yuan Shu said: "Yes, so many people are grabbing a thousand tokens, I'm curious what they will do? By the way, did you have an order not to kill anyone, I don't want this place to become a bloody Shura field." “

Zhang Qiang said: "My lord, of course I gave the order, I am not stupid, I just want to elect a centurion, of course I don't want to damage the lives of soldiers for no reason, so of course I ordered them not to kill, if anyone kills, they will be dealt with by military law, and they will be beheaded for public display." “

"Not bad" Yuan Shu nodded, and then looked at the school field seriously, waiting for the official start of this game.
