Under the city of Xuzhou, five neat squares were neatly arranged, and each team was 10,000 people, which was a full army of 50,000.

Among the 50,000 troops, in addition to the 30,000 veterans, the remaining 20,000 were recruits who had just experienced the great destruction of Cao Ang's 100,000 army.

This battle has boosted the morale of the recruits, and they already have a more or less elite meaning at this time. One by one, they stand straight with their waists straight, which can be described as full of morale.

The biggest gap between recruits and veterans is not in fighting quality, but in morale. Veterans of a hundred battles will not collapse no matter what situation they encounter, but recruits are different, and recruits are very likely to desert, large-scale defections, and even camp roars when they are demoralized.

The battle under the city of Xuzhou boosted the morale of these recruits, with 30,000 veterans with 20,000 recruits, rounding off, Li Chen's 50,000 army is basically the combat effectiveness of elite soldiers.

It's not that Li Chen is reluctant to send troops, and now with the captured Cao army, the number of troops under Li Chen's command has far exceeded 100,000. However, except for 30,000 veterans, the rest were recruits and prisoners, and the combat effectiveness of these recruits and prisoners was worrying.

Using 30,000 veterans to carry 20,000 elite soldiers is the best ratio, once too many recruits are carried, it will affect the combat effectiveness of this army.

Under the city of Xuzhou, it is densely packed with a fully prepared army. At the forefront of the army are the generals under their command.

Li Chen looked down and couldn't help but bow slightly. It's only been a few months, and he has gone from a few thousand bandits in his hands, the bandits of Yunlong Mountain. He has become a warlord who dominates a state and has an army of more than 100,000 in his hands.

I'm afraid, even if Cao Ah has broken his head, he can't figure out why a bandit has grown into a warlord who can wrestle with him in just a few months.

Lu Lingqi was dressed in red armor, standing behind Li Chen, looking at the man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little shy when he remembered what happened last night.

"It is rumored that he is greedy for money and lustful, why did he agree to send troops to rescue his father so easily?" Lu Lingqi thought with some suspicion.

"Thank you uncle for your help, uncle's kindness, my Lu family is unforgettable." Lu Lingqi approached Li Chen and said softly.

Looking at this little goblin, Li Chen thought of the two big meteor hammers last night, and couldn't help but have fiery eyes.

"Uncle, I'll let you call you Uncle."

"Sooner or later, one day, Lao Tzu will ask you to call Dad." Li Chen said secretly in his heart, but he said angrily: "I said that saving your father will definitely save your father, but I, Li Chen, have a high wind and bright festival, but I don't want anything." ”

Li Chen stood on the city wall, looking at his own soldiers and generals under the city, and now he is also a soldier and a general, and he has both men and food in his hands.

If you're talking about fame, hmph, forget it, don't replace it.

As soon as he mentioned his fame, Li Chen suddenly became angry, and he didn't know who spread the rumors that he was greedy for money and lustful. If you let yourself be caught, you have to stuff him into the second kick and jump into the sky.

"Brothers, although we have defeated the Cao army. But in front, Xiaopei, who is hundreds of miles away from our Xuzhou City. General Lu Bu led an army of less than 10,000 people to resist the attack of the main force of 100,000 Cao troops for us. ”

"We are from Xuzhou, we are guarding our hometown, and behind us are our wives and children. But what about General Lu Bu, General Lu Bu is a native of Bingzhou, but he stayed in Xiaopei without hesitation and helped us fight against Cao's army. ”

"Brothers, tell me whether we should support Xiao Pei or save General Lu Bu." Li Chen stood on the city wall, stepped on the battlement with one foot and shouted angrily.

"Should!"

"Should!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

The soldiers under the city collectively shouted, and the sound resounded through the sky.

"Okay, the whole army will listen to the order and send troops to Xiaopei." Li Chen stood on the city wall and shouted.

The mobilization of 50,000 troops is not a trivial matter, and it is not easy to operate the grain, grass and ordnance carried by the army. Therefore, although Li Chen's army was moving in an orderly manner, the entire marching speed was not fast.

This army of 50,000 people walked on the road to Xiaopei, and at the front and rear ends of the 40,000 infantry, there were 5,000 elite cavalry equipped with cavalry three treasures, Xuanjiawei, Modaobing, and Burenjia, which were the location of Gongwei's Chinese army in Li Chen.

Xiao Pei.

Before the sky was completely bright, Lu Bu took Gao Shun, who had turned back, as well as Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, who were inspecting the city wall.

On the walls of Xiaopei, there were all tired soldiers, and some of them did not leave and spontaneously participated in the defense of the city. Among these people, there are even half-grown children and some old men who are dying.

"The people of Xiaopei treat me like this, how can I, Lu Bu, bear Xiaopei's father and fellow villagers." Lu Bu looked at the people on the city wall, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

At this time, Lu Bu's eyes were red, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he had obviously not rested for a long time.

Lu Bu was trying his best to keep Xiao Pei, but he didn't know that his three subordinates were already planning to sell him for a good price.

At this time, Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, who were resting on another city wall, seemed to be plotting something.

Song Xian looked at the two colleagues and said solemnly: "Two brothers, do you think we can keep Xiao Pei?" ”

As soon as Song Xian's words fell, Hou Cheng sighed and said: "Now there are only 3,000 soldiers, but the Cao army under the city still has more than 70,000 people, what can we do to guard Xiaopei." In my opinion, when the day dawns, I am afraid that this Xiaopei City will change hands. ”

Wei Xu looked at the two worried brothers and said: "The lord has a red rabbit horse, and there is a halberd painted by Fang Tian, if you want to go to the world, who can stop you." It's a big deal, I gave up Xiaopei, and I started from scratch. ”

As soon as Wei Xu's words fell, Song Xian continued: "I heard that the lord doesn't want to leave this time, it seems that he is going to live and die with Xiao Pei." ”

As soon as Song Xian finished speaking, Hou Cheng also said: "The lord has a red rabbit horse, and it is good to have a halberd painted by Fang Tian, but we don't have it, if the Cao army is surrounded, we are afraid that we will definitely die." ”

"Hey, it's a pity, this Xiaopei is the place where we bury our bones." Song Xian continued.

In fact, Song Xian and Hou Cheng saw that Xiao Pei was about to lose, and they had secretly taken refuge in Cao Cao. They had already sold Lü Bu to Cao Cao, and they had sold it for a good price. Now the reason why he is bluffing Wei Xu with singing and harmonizing is to pull him into the water together.

Wei Xu is in control of the scouts in Lu Bu's army, and in Song Xian and Hou Cheng's plan, Wei Xu must participate, otherwise Lu Bu will inevitably see the flaws. It is precisely because of this that the two spared no effort to win over Song Xian.

Wei Xu's heart was somewhat shaken by the two singing and harmonizing, so he asked tentatively, "What are the plans of the two brothers?" ”
