Li Xiaofei chose four horses, hid dry food that could be eaten for twenty days, and only went to Chen Hongyi with Liu Jian after nightfall.

In the evening, the army set up camp and set up tents, and Wang Xian sent someone to invite Liu Jian to discuss the matter. Liu Jian had to take Li Xiaofei with him, and Li Xiaofei kept observing whether there was anything abnormal along the way, and his feet trembled a little.

The military tent was not far away, and after a while, Wang Xian's big tent was reached. Liu Jian entered the account, and Li Xiaofei was blocked out.

Liu Jian entered the account and saw that Liu Xianqi, the king of Xiping, and Liu Jie, had sat down on the left side of the tent, and Wang Xian sat in the middle of the main seat and raised his hand to invite Liu Jian to take a seat.

Wang Xian looked at the three princes and cleared his throat: "General Chen is already going to Jinling City, and now the grain and grass of my army will be transferred from Huaiyang, in order to prevent the rebels from cutting off our grain and grass, the old man has to divide his troops to the three princes to attack Hefei, Chuzhou, and Xuancheng, what do you princes think", the three princes each glanced at Wang Xian, and said that it was all up to Wang Xian's deployment. Wang Xian immediately announced: "Liu Jie, the king of Qi, led an army of 5,000 to capture Hefei, Liu Xian, the king of Xiping, led an army of 5,000 to capture Xuancheng, and Liu Jian, the king of Qinghe, led an army of 5,000 to capture Chuzhou. Departure on the same day without delay". The three princes immediately received the order, and the three lieutenant generals outside the big tent entered the account and guided the princes to the military camps they had taken over.

Liu Jian, the king of Qinghe, and Li Xiaofei went to the military camp they took over under the guidance of the deputy general Xu Dayou. Liu Jian immediately asked Xu Dayou to gather troops and horses to set off, and Xu Dayou received the order and immediately sent a team of sergeants to each battalion to summon.

Liu Jian and Li Xiaofei watched Xu Dayou prepare soldiers and horses outside the tent. The Jingzhou army assembled either missing armor or losing spears and shields, and there were those who came to report that the military horses were lost, and only 2,000 people were assembled from the time of the unitary time to the time of the child, and the remaining 3,000 people were still collecting weapons, cooking utensils, tents, and horses. Xu Dayou sweated profusely and ran to meet Liu Jian: "Lord Qiqi, most of our army has been assembled, but it is already late at night, it is better to set off again tomorrow morning", Liu Jian was angry, but he thought that these 5,000 soldiers and horses could not be taken over immediately by themselves, and they had to rely on Xu Dayou to support them, so he smiled and said: "General Xu is hard, I don't think it's as good as this, I will take a thousand men and horses to explore the road, and I can try the combat strength of the rebels, General Xu will take the main force and my personal guard Li Xiaofei to be my reinforcements in the back, so that we can respond to each other", Xu Dayou rested for one more night and happily agreed. Liu Jian led a thousand men and horses to the direction of Chuzhou in the starry night.

Xu Dayou saw that Li Xiaofei was only a fifteen-year-old child, and he didn't put any restrictions, so he greeted him politely and went back to his tent. Li Xiaofei checked around the barracks, chatted a few words when he met people, and overnight, Li Xiaofei wrote down thousands of names.

The next day, Xu Dayou gathered his men and set off, and Li Xiaofei rode a horse next to the team to count the sergeants. The team walked half a mile, and Li Xiaofei caught up with Xu Dayou: "General Xu, Li Dahu, Niu Erhu, and other fifty people from the bow and crossbow battalion, fifty people including Zheng Dayan Yang Fifth Brother Zhang Xiaoge of the cavalry team, and fifty people such as Wang Xiaobo of the Pudao Battalion, Liu Erlou, Yan Xiaoba, etc., why are they not in the team", Xu Dayou was surprised: "Little brother, have you been in our Jingzhou Army before?" I asked them to go back to Huaiyang to escort grain and grass. Li Xiaofei smiled: "I only met last night, and I just happened to remember the names of these big brothers." Xu Dayou almost didn't fall off the horse: "Little brother, you have this ability, this has caught up with the military advisors in our marshal's mansion, and the little brother really deserves to be a person from the palace." Today is a long day of knowledge."

Li Xiaofei was modest, ran to the team to chat, and wrote down hundreds of names.

Liu Jian with a thousand men and horses did not dare to go too far from the large army, Li Xiaofei and the sergeants laughed so that the Jingzhou army, which was usually very slow to march, was abnormal, and it only took three days to join Liu Jian and camp eighty miles away from Chuzhou.

After Li Xiaofei returned to Liu Jian's side, he reported what he had seen and heard in the past few days to Liu Jian. Liu Jian only shook his head after hearing this: "What is the use of such military horses, even if there are 100,000?" Wang Xian asked us to divide our troops to attack the city, didn't this kill us by the hands of the rebels? The team can't go forward, I have to camp and train for a few days before I can fight." Li Xiaofei wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Jian looked around and said: "You have something to say, the two of us are dependent on each other now, and you don't want to treat me as a prince", Li Xiaofei sighed: "Actually, the prince, few of you big people understand the thoughts of us grass people." You and the other princes, generals, and marshals want to make the emperor the emperor and seize the city and fight for merit. And what we untouchables want is just to live, survive first, and then have money to earn and spend their lives, no matter what kind of family and country he is, we don't care who is the emperor. Even I just have one more belief in revenge. And about the rebels, General Chen said that the rebels are just ordinary defenders of the city, and they have no ambitions, if he leads the army to defeat Jinling, he will definitely not do nothing for more than a month and only care about looting money. I have not been with General Chen for long, but I believe him because I have not lost a battle with him so far. A character who can lead 2,000 men and horses to compete with tens of thousands of troops is definitely a ruthless character", Liu Jian suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "My master sent you to be my personal guard, it seems that you have chosen the right person." I'm ten years older than you, and I've been in turmoil all these years, and I can understand that except for my master, everyone else is completely worse than each other, so it seems that the level of the Jingzhou army and the rebel army is comparable, so I have full confidence in defeating Chuzhou. Tomorrow I will train the soldiers and horses, you go and contact some people for me today, I also have some jade bracelets and gold leaves here, and you find reliable people to respond to me when the time comes, and I will choose capable people to be my guard."
