Liu Bei was so confident, Li Qin also nodded with satisfaction. At present www.biquge.info the task assigned by each person has been decided: Liu Bei will be responsible for contacting Liu Yan's side, first promoting his reputation in Youzhou, and establishing his reputation first; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will begin to train the army and train the soldiers; Li Qin himself, while using some of his later knowledge and ideas to give advice to Liu Guanzhang and the others, began to take charge of Liu Beijun's logistics.

Li Qin's commander made a count of all the existing materials of Liu Beijun's army, and under the condition of ensuring the consumption of indispensable materials for the army itself, he adopted such means as separating training and using equipment, and keeping the equipment in real name for reporting, so as to curb waste in the army to a certain extent.

Of course, these are all means of throttling, as for open source, when Liu Beijun has not yet sent troops to fight, this road is temporarily impassable. As time passed, this small rebel army would soon leave Zhangjiazhuang, and Li Qin naturally couldn't manage to make some modern gadgets here. Although he already had some plans for future farming in his heart, he had to eat the rice in one bite, but Li Qin had no intention of showing everything about it.

During this period, there were Zhongshan businessmen, Zhang Shiping, and Su Shuang led the crowd to the village in order to stay overnight, and there were quite a few horses in their hands. Li Qin asked Liu Bei to set up a banquet to talk with him, relying on Liu Bei's eloquence and Li Qin's secret revealed some business methods from later generations, but the two of them were admired and moved, and finally got a thousand taels of gold and silver, 100 good horses, and more than 1,000 catties of iron from the hands of the two.

Therefore, Li Qin ordered people to gather good craftsmen around the county to open the furnace to forge weapons, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei got the double-strand sword, the Qinglong Yanyue knife, and the Zhangba snake spear that have been passed down through the ages, and Li Qin also got a earth-splitting axe weighing 100 catties from it.

After that, Li Qin also used the surplus iron to build 600 spear heads, 500 thick-backed knives, 300 iron helmets, and equipped the soldiers with leather vests and other materials to arm the army. In this way, the rebel soldiers can be said to be armed to the teeth, everyone has leather armor, iron helmets, and a two-zhang spear, and a waist knife, but they are extremely well-equipped.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei trained the army for more than half a month, after they finally gave these soldiers a basic military spirit, they prepared these battle armors, knives and guns, but they suddenly had a good appearance. At that time, the spear stood like a forest, the sergeant was silent and motionless like a mountain, and the army on one side stood solemnly, arranged horizontally and vertically like a tofu block, but it made Liu Bei feel a lot of pride in his heart.

"This is my army, the starting point of my career." Liu Bei laughed happily. He looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Li Qin, who were also standing behind him, who were also solemnly waiting, and Li Qin, who was smiling, and his heart became more and more happy. For a monarch, there is both literature and martial arts, this is a good team.

But......

Liu Bei's gaze condensed on Li Qin's body, looked at Li Qin, who was not tall, and then looked at the heavy and abnormal battle axe that was held by Li Qin in his hand, but an awkward meaning involuntarily surged in his heart: "Yuanhua, you are the mastermind of the military advisor!" Isn't it good to be a military advisor to carry a sword or a fan? How to take a big axe. This is much heavier than the second brother's, the Qinglong Knife, are you sure you can use it well? This style of painting is really inconsistent. The corners of Liu Bei's eyes twitched, but he shook his head gently.

Time passed in a month, when Liu Bei initially trained his volunteers to a slightly visible appearance, the latest news about the Yellow Turban Army came: the Yellow Turban Army boss and the great Tiangong General Zhang Jiaobei invaded Youzhou's army, and Cheng Yuanzhi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, commanded 50,000 troops to invade Zhuo County, and his soldiers and horses had reached a hundred miles away from the county seat.

Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, was shocked, and sent people to urgently recruit Liu Bei to discuss with him, and finally sent this "clan nephew" to lead 500 rebels in his headquarters and his subordinate Zou Jing to lead 500 officers and troops, a total of 1,000 people to break the enemy together.

When Liu Bei and Zou Jing led 500 officers and troops back to Zhuo County, Cheng Yuanzhi's army was less than 50 miles away from the county seat. According to the speed of their march, they will be able to reach Zhuo County at most the day after tomorrow and surround the county seat. Zhuojun Taishou was very anxious, he was eager to order Liu Bei and Zou Jing to break the enemy, and it was best to defeat the other party outside the city, so that they could not see the city wall of Zhuoxian.

In the face of Taishou's order, neither Zou Jing nor Liu Bei could object. Liu Bei is white, Zou Jing is a captain of more than two thousand stones, and their status is lower than that of Taishou. Although Zou Jing can overturn Taishou's order, it will stiffen the relationship between the two. Zou Jing is a member of the government, and people in the government generally pay attention to being a person before doing things. Therefore, Zou Jing had no choice but to take this order, which was a headache when he thought about it.

He was adjacent to Liu Bei's army, and with a stomach full of unhappiness, he asked Liu Bei to discuss the battle plan against the Yellow Turban Army. After all, with 1,000 enemies and 50,000 troops, a difference of 50 times the number of troops, it still looks a little frightened. Even if everyone knows that the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is actually not strong, but if it is not strong, it is not strong, but there are so many people, can this really be fought?

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Liu Beijun's camp, Liu Bei and Zou Jing were on the left and right sides of the main position, and the five hundred people brought by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Qin and Zou Jing under them all stood solemnly and concentrating on the left and right sides, and held this pre-war military meeting. At the beginning of the military discussion, Zou Jing reported the military situation of the Yellow Turban Army, and then began to ask everyone how to solve the problem: "How should we deal with them?" 1,000 versus 50,000, such a military comparison is really desperate. ”

"There is such a huge disparity in troops, Lord Captain, we can't fight in a cage?" The five hundred generals brought by Zou Jing, you look at me, I will look at you, and finally one of the gray-haired veterans opened his mouth majestically. In their opinion, the only way to deal with the enemy is to defend the city and resist the enemy's attack by relying on the fortified city.

"I'm afraid this won't work, Lord Taishou won't allow it......" Zou Jing said and shook his head gently. He is a middle-aged military general with a beard, around forty years old, bold and calm, his ability is not very strong, but he still has a set of methods in marching and fighting.

At that moment, he told everyone what Taishou meant, and at the same time expressed his opinion: "...... In fact, it makes sense for Taishou to let us out of the city camp. The Yellow Turbans attacked many cities, most of which were not defeated by them. When confronted with the fortified city, most of them used the believers hidden in the city as an internal response. The inside should be combined with the outside, and there is naturally no disadvantage. If we defend Zhuoxian, maybe we will find the internal and external attacks of the Yellow Turban Army, and then we will ......."

Zou Jing didn't continue, but everyone understood the meaning very well. This time, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

What to do? Just take a thousand people and fight hard with the Yellow Turban Army? How can this be? 50,000 people swarmed up, and I am afraid that my own 1,000 people will disappear without even floating waves.

Solution, always have to find a way. It's just that the solution to this problem is not so easy to think of.

There was silence in the big tent all of a sudden, and almost all of the people were not very good-looking, except for the young man who looked very handsome standing beside Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When everyone was solemn, Zou Jing saw him with a faint smile, looking indifferent, but it was incompatible with the current atmosphere.

"Who are you? Why laugh? Zou Jing felt that something was wrong, and a wave of anger came out of his heart: "The big tent is an important place to discuss important military matters, but it is a place for you to smile on your hippie face." He glared at Li Qin fiercely, and then his eyes turned to Liu Bei: "Xuande, I need an explanation." ”

"Well...... this" Liu Bei was stunned by this, he looked at Li Qin, but saw that he nodded at himself very confidently, so he smiled and introduced to Zou Jing: "This person Li Qin is the former Changle Shaofu Li Ying, who was in charge of grain and grass materials in our army, and he is quite scheming. In the face of such a crisis, I wonder if we should listen to what he has to say. ”

"This ......" Zou Jing wanted to rebuke Liu Bei Zhiyi, but he thought that Liu Bei was considered a nephew by his boss Liu Yan after all, but he couldn't look at him as an ordinary person, and in the conversation with Liu Bei, he also saw Liu Bei's ability, so he thought about it: "Since Xuande attaches so much importance to it, then I'll listen to what you say." If that's right, I'll take credit for you. If not, you know the consequences......"

"Good ......" In the face of Zou Jing's slightly threatening words, Li Qin nodded lightly, stood up without stage fright, walked to the center of the big tent, and gently arched his hand towards Zou Jing and Liu Bei. After that, he opened his mouth, but he never said his strategy, but asked a question: "Since our army is going to fight with Cheng Yuanzhi's army, I don't know what the strength of the Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Yuanzhi is." What is the composition of its troops, and how many Taiping Dao veterans are there? ”

"This ......" Zou Jing thought about it for a while and told Li Qin: "Cheng Yuanzhi was originally ordered by Zhang Jiao to lead the army north, and it is said that there are thousands of Yellow Turban veterans and 20,000 people under his command. Cheng Yuanzhi persisted in running rampant in Hebei, but he was very coerced, and finally had these 50,000 soldiers. ”

"In other words, these 50,000 people are simply a rabble of uneven strength." Li Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do they usually march?" ”

"The army is divided into three parts...... The coerced people are the forerunners, mixed with 500 old soldiers as the supervision, the Chinese army is dominated by old soldiers, but the rear army is a strong people. Every time the Yellow Turban Army fought against the officers and soldiers, they all rushed forward with coerced soldiers, and rushed into battle with veterans of the Chinese army, so their morale was greatly boosted. Zou Jing said. Most of this information came from the officials and soldiers of Yizhou when the Yellow Turban Army was rampaging in Yizhou a few days ago. Zou Jing heard about this situation, and combined with the observation of Cheng Yuanzhijun by the exploration horse he sent, he finally got what he said to Li Qin.

"So...... I have a solution. After listening to Zou Jing's introduction, Li Qin thought for a moment and then had an idea: "In this battle, please Lord Zou and my lord lead 900 soldiers to meet the enemy in the river valley twenty miles south of the city. The valley is narrow and surrounded by woods, and the Yellow Turban Army's troops are unable to deploy their forces, but it is beneficial to us.

The remaining 100 sergeants in the army, I plan to divide them into two parts, one part will stay behind the military formation, and together with the 300 people and Zhuang recruited by Taishou, they will compile banners, and use oxen and horses to drag tree branches to create smoke and dust;

And the remaining fifty people, I am going to try to infiltrate the rear of the Yellow Turban Army, thinking that it is for the chaos of the army.

As long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beheaded Cheng Yuanzhi when they were fighting, I would be able to launch it in the rear, and I only needed to say bluntly: 'Defeat ......' can cause chaos in the Yellow Turban Army, but the captain and my lord will wave the army to cover up the killing, and the results can be obtained. ”

"This ...... Seems to work! Zou Jing thought about it, but understood the key in his heart: "It's just that in this way, the victory or defeat of the battle is on Xuande's two righteous brothers...... Can they? ”

"Hey......" Regarding Zou Jing's doubts, the arrogant Guan Yu just snorted coldly, but did not speak.

But Zhang Fei patted his chest: "Don't worry, what does my old Zhang have in those Yellow Turban Army?" ”

"Alright! Then it's decided. Maybe he saw the majestic appearance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, realized that they might have that kind of strength, or maybe he thought of Liu Bei's face, and didn't want to refute Liu Bei's face, Zou Jing finally nodded and agreed.

At that moment, he made a decision to go out of the city on the third watch tonight, and lined up in the river valley at the end of the day, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.

After that, the movement of the army had long been known by the spies of the Yellow Turban Army lurking in the city, and they rushed down the city overnight, ahead of the army, and sent the relevant information to Cheng Yuanzhi.

After getting such news from the spies in Zhuo County, Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said to his deputy: "Is that Liu Tingshi in Youzhou funny?" They actually sent a thousand troops and horses to meet the enemy, and they looked down on us too much. Don't they know that we are invincible along the way? ”

"Haha...... A thousand soldiers! This is clearly an egg hitting a stone, which can be regarded as a big meal delivered to us. Qu Shuai, let's take them all down, behead them one by one under the city of Zhuoxian, and intimidate the Zhuojun Taishou with the base of Jingguan. I heard that many of those who are in office are cowards. We scared him, and maybe he ran away. Deng Mao also laughed when he heard this, but after laughing, he gave Cheng Yuanzhi an idea.

"Well, that's a good idea! Okay, that's it. When Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, but he nodded and agreed. He immediately ordered: "The army is ready, we will set off on two shifts today, march overnight, arrive at the river valley at the end of the day, and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers." ”

"No!" Deng Mao clenched his fists and quickly went down to give the order.

As a result, the huge Yellow Turban Army quickly moved into action. Under the restraint of the generals of all sides, the army began to move forward in a dazed manner, rushing to the valley of the people's mouth.
